Chapter 128: Return to Qinzhou
Now that everyone in the entire Western Army knows the news that Yun Ye will marry Murong Ziyan, everyone is very excited, and now, the marriage between the two is like the top priority of the Western Army at present, so everyone is also very diligent in doing their own time, so that the Western Army can set off and rush back to Qinzhou City as soon as possible.
Three days was enough for Yunye to arrange the military affairs of the Longjiang Ferry, and the injuries of those wounded soldiers also recovered a lot, although they were not completely healed, but at least they were able to follow the team back to Qinzhou.
One day on a sunny morning, Yun Ye gave an order, and the Western Army began to set off, and the target was Qinzhou City.
They left the Western Army Navy and 3,000 elite soldiers to continue to guard the Longjiang crossing, at least for this year, the Kasians were temporarily unable to cross the river, and therefore had no ability to threaten them.
Yun Ye did not forget the three-year contract, which is why he was in such a hurry to rush to Qinzhou, to get married as soon as possible, and only after this matter was settled could he free up his energy to do other things.
Moreover, Qinzhou City is now his old nest, and he must go back as soon as possible, because there are more than 30,000 soldiers hoarded there, and those soldiers were all thrown into the Western Army's account after leading that group of recruits to garrison Longjiang later, Yunye did not let them go to the front line too quickly, and now every soldier is a valuable resource for him, or rather, every soldier is the hope that he and Murong Ziyan can survive in three years.
Before the Western Army set off to return to Qinzhou, Qinzhou had already received the news, so the entire Qinzhou was also preparing to welcome their heroes who returned victoriously, as well as preparing for the marriage of Yunye and Murong Ziyan, these two people can be said to have saved the entire Bianxi, so the people in Bianxi, especially the people in Qinzhou, have long stopped treating them as outsiders.
More than 20,000 people at the time of the expedition slaughtered the Longjiang Ferry, plus the 10,000 Jin soldiers originally stationed there, the Western Army should have more than 30,000 people, but now it is a lot deserted, and the returned soldiers and less than 10,000 people, although there are still six or seven thousand defenders at the Longjiang Ferry, but Rao is so, the casualties of the Western Army are large enough.
The horse leather shroud is the best place for the warriors, so the soldiers did not feel sad, but felt full of glory. They returned this time, but they returned with countless victories and honors, and the losses of the Kasia people reached a huge 100,000, and their loss of this number of people seemed to be nothing at all.
Those original recruits straightened their chests and walked with their heads held high, they were no longer the rookie recruits who would tremble slightly on the battlefield before, but the elites who survived several wars, these are the capital they will boast about in the future, after all, they are participants in these wars, and the degree of tragedy is already very high, and when the time comes, they are adding fuel and vinegar, hehe, they are now already imagining the shocked look of their fathers and villagers after hearing the story they described.
Yun Ye looked at this team, this is the team he trained single-handedly, slowly, they have changed from novice rookies to a real soldier, a sense of responsibility, a sense of honor and disgrace of the Western Army soldiers.
It is said that only those soldiers who have experienced countless battles are the real elite, the group of people that the Western Army can really rely on, and the backbone of the Western Army.
This is not to erase the merits of those who died in battle, but to state a very serious point!
Only survival is the foundation of everything!
The western army went all the way unhindered, and now the entire Bianxi is their territory, so they are very relieved to go straight to Qinzhou City. After a day and a night of marching, finally the next morning, everyone clearly saw the sun slowly rising from the bottom of Qinzhou City.
Ten miles, five miles, three miles
The scouts of the Western Army kept conveying the distance from Qinzhou City to the soldiers, and now they are all wanderers returning to their hometowns, and they must be very excited in their hearts.
Ten miles, five miles, three miles
Similarly, the distance between the Western Army and Qinzhou City in Qinzhou City is constantly reported, and the common people are also excitedly gathered outside the city gate, waiting for their heroes to return, many of those heroes are relatives and friends around them.
Finally, it's here!
Yun Ye took the lead, and beside him, there were Murong Ziyan, Zhao Hu, Mo Yange and others, and now, they finally arrived at Qinzhou City, which had been separated for several months.
Looking at the noisy people outside the city gate, they kept waving their hands, or shouting the name of Yunye, or shouting the name of the mighty Western Army, and some people were calling the names of their relatives loudly.
Yun Ye's heart was both excited and gloomy, especially when he called the names of the warriors who had died in battle, which made his throat choke a little.
He clearly remembered that a young man named Hou Xiaojie was recruited to the Western Army by himself, and he saw him work extra hard when he was training, but later in a battle, he inadvertently saw his body being carried in front of his eyes.
And now, he clearly heard an old voice calling her son's name, it was a woman whose hair had begun to turn gray, and the overwork made her look older than her grade.
The old man's voice was full of concern and excitement, her son would definitely come back safely, he promised her, maybe he had made meritorious service, and now he may be a petty officer.
The woman remembered the scene of her son patting his chest and assuring herself before leaving, and looking at the approaching Western Army, she couldn't help but increase the voice of the call, which made Yun Ye hear it more clearly.
When the team finally came to the city of Qinzhou, Yun Ye reined in his horse's head, turned over and dismounted, and before the people could catch up, he first performed a grand military etiquette to them.
"Fellow villagers, I, Yunye, with the Western Army, returned victoriously, we defeated the arrogant Kasians, so that they did not dare to look at the west from now on, we, let them pay the price of more than 100,000 people, this is the retribution they deserve for invading us!"
Yun Ye said loudly and angrily, and when the soldiers of the Western Army heard what the main general said, they shouted loudly to show the prestige of the Western Army.
Although the people have not experienced that great war, they can still know the difficulty of that victory from the comparison of numbers, and it is very rare to be able to achieve such a victory in the face of an enemy five times their own.
"But I can't live with the many people here, with many parents, many wives, many children, their children, their husbands, their fathers, who followed me to the battlefield, some of whom came back, and some of whom never came back."
When Yun Ye said this, tears were already flowing, he was very good at mingling with the soldiers on weekdays, and in the middle of the battle, he saw those familiar figures fall one after another, and his heart was also like a knife.
When those people heard such a topic, their original excitement suddenly dimmed a lot, and even some people had begun to sob, but Yun Ye was not worried, he had to say these questions, and he couldn't hide from them. Because looking at those fallen figures one by one, his heart was also extremely uncomfortable, and he had to say it to make him feel better.
"Of the more than 20,000 people, less than half of them I can bring back!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the whole scene was suddenly a little silent, and even, depressed.
"Warriors, be proud of the horse leather shroud, and, as long as there is a war, there will definitely be death, now it is very good to have such a result, the Kasians lost more than 100,000 people, and we only lost more than 10,000 people under the leadership of General Yunye, and won the victory, this crime, we really can't blame General Yunye!"
Among the people, an old man who looked respectful walked out and explained to everyone.
He is also a reasonable person, knowing that death on the battlefield is inevitable, in fact, everyone also knows, but he can't accept the pain of losing his loved ones for the time being.
"Everyone who has lost their relatives, from now on, I Yunye will be your relatives, if there is any difficulty, just if you want me to speak, I will do my best!"
Yun Ye knelt down on one knee and made a big salute to everyone again.
Everyone choked up, such a good general, can no longer ask him to do more, he has done enough, just ask, from ancient times to the present, how many generals can be like him, who won the battle and came back to repent with the people, those generals who won the battle, can't wait to turn their noses to God, and then let the people of the world come to worship, regardless of whether you have lost your son or your husband.
"General Yunye, we don't blame you, we're just scared!"
An old woman who was sobbing, I don't know where she got the courage, shouted loudly, if she changed to normal, she didn't even dare to raise her head when she saw those officials, let alone dare to speak out loud.
It's just that she was moved at the moment, and Yunye looks more likable, without those bureaucratic styles, so she doesn't scare her much.
"Yes, General Yunye, we don't blame you, we really just have fear in our hearts, afraid that our relatives will die in battle, so we can't control ourselves."
The people behind echoed one after another, seeing Yun Ye blaming himself like this, they couldn't bear it, and they stepped forward one after another to comfort Yun Ye.
The Western army had a long journey, and everyone could see it, so they didn't stop any longer, and directly surrounded them into the city, and began a grand procession and celebration.
