270, full of desolation
When the generals reported the results, Zhou Quan was somewhat absent-minded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the battlefield was basically clean, Zhou Quan told everyone about his hard work, and encouraged them one by one, and then announced the reward for this battle.
The vast majority of those who participated in the war were chamber of commerce guards, and the guards had strict rules, and all captures, except for a small number of physical objects that could be left as their own memorials, the vast majority of them had to be returned to the public. After returning to the public, they will be distributed according to their respective merits.
Strict discipline is to ensure combat effectiveness, and the distribution of spoils of war is also to ensure combat effectiveness.
For example, artillerymen, it is impossible for them to go to the battlefield to pick up the spoils of war, but their role in the war is obvious to all, and if they are not given the spoils, it is impossible to say anything.
The content of the reward was announced, and soon it spread throughout the army, so that cheers were everywhere.
At this time, Zhou Quan had time to summon Yelubulu and Cui Yongzhu and ask them about Yu Liyan's situation.
Knowing that Yu Liyan was unharmed and had safely boarded the Xuanniao warship, Zhou Quan breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that it's getting late, and he still has a large army here, so he can't go to meet him. He had no choice but to send a messenger to inform him of his victory.
When the messenger arrived, it was already two o'clock, for safety, Yu Liyan stayed on the boat, and there were sailors on the shore to set up a small camp, and only a dozen people were on duty in the camp.
The messenger raised his torch and came from afar, which immediately alarmed the people in the camp, who rose to their guard and breathed a sigh of relief when they found the visitor wearing the uniform of the Chamber of Commerce's guards.
"Is Her Royal Highness the princess on the ship, I came to deliver the message on the order of the Yanei!" To prevent accidental injury, the messenger shouted from afar.
"Come, come, we'll get you to the ship...... By the way, how's the battle going? ”
The tide at sea was relatively loud, so Yu Liyan, who was standing under the deck of the ship and looking at the land, could only hear a faint conversation, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
She was not anxious at all, and after learning that Zhou Quan had led the army to arrive, her original hanging heart gradually let go.
That man, the young man of the Song Kingdom who she regarded as her man, was like a big tree that supported the sky, enough to shelter her from the wind and rain.
She absolutely trusts Zhou Quan's ability.
However, when the messenger boarded the Xuanniao, she was still a little excited: "How is Zhou Lang, is he in good health?" ”
She didn't ask about the war, because she decided that since Zhou Quan came, then the battle would be won. But she is very concerned about Zhou Quan's body, the knife and gun are eyeless, the wind and the sun are exposed, in case there is any accident to Zhou Quan's body, she must go to his side to take care of it.
"Your Highness, Yanai is in good health, please rest assured. The war is over, and our army has won a great victory, but Yanai said that he still needs to return to Liaoyang. The Jurchens are powerful, our army is small, and we are isolated, so after this incident, it will take some time for His Highness to move the population of Liaodong to Jeju......"
After explaining the words to Yu Liyan, there was also a letter written by Zhou Quan's temporary handwriting, and after Yu Liyan took the letter, he saw the familiar handwriting on it, and his heart was suddenly full of joy.
In addition to sending her letters, the messenger also has a task, which is to convey orders to Zhang Shun.
Now that he had received Yu Liyan, Zhang Shun's mission had been successfully completed, so Zhou Quan ordered Zhang Shun to return to Suzhou the next day, return to Suzhou, Liao State, and rendezvous with the fleet that was about to come to Suzhou, preparing to transport the population to Jeju.
Nothing was said all night.
On the morning of the second day, Zhou Quan did not rush to leave, and yesterday's fierce battle made the soldiers a little tired, and a large number of Jurchen corpses also needed to be cleaned up to avoid the plague.
Thousands of corpses were scattered everywhere, and it was not easy to collect them, so the guards found the easiest way to do it, burn them.
The smell, even Zhou Quan couldn't stand it, and covered his mouth and nose with a mask. Therefore, when he saw Yu Liyan, his eyes were exposed to the outside, which was both joy and consternation.
"Why did you come here and didn't go to Suzhou with the ship?" He asked, surprised.
"I miss you...... You come to save me, I can do something for you, persuade the people of Liaodong to go with you, and ...... I'm seasick and dizzy, which of these reasons do you choose? Yu Liyan tilted his head, standing pretty, his face full of joy of reunion after a long absence.
Zhou Quan hugged her: "I'll choose them all!" ”
Zhou Quan is in the full selection, and there is no need to say much about the fun during the period. While he was enjoying the fruits of his victory, there was a group of men and horses, but they were rushing northeast in a gray way.
This group of men and horses only had 100 horsemen, and when they saw the military formation in front of them, they first paused for a moment, and then confirmed that the other party was their own before running over.
I don't blame them for being careful, they were really frightened by yesterday's defeat.
Hulu looked at the more than 100 horsemen who came over with a desolate heart, five Meng'an, nearly 6,000 people, and there was only this left to meet him.
"Confession...... What about the Prince? Finding that there was no figure in the crowd, Hulu's heart sank suddenly.
The Wanyan Jurchen in front of him parted to the sides, revealing two horses running side by side.
In the middle of the horses, a simple stretcher was set up with sticks and cloth, and Wan Yanhu lay on the stretcher.
He jumped off his horse and ran over a few steps, seeing his bloodless face. His heart tugged together, and he shouted, "Cut the book, cut the book, the prince!" ”
Maybe it was his call, or maybe it was some other reason, and he woke up in a deep coma.
A sickly flush appeared on his face, and he grabbed Wan Yan Lu's hand: "Uncle, uncle, I don't ...... I can't...... Painful ......"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's fine...... We have the best Korean doctors, and there are Liao doctors! As long as you return to Shenzhou, you can be cured immediately! Hulu comforted him repeatedly, and when he looked back at the guards of the book, the expression on his face was extremely hideous: "You fools, why did you let the prince get hurt?" ”
"Don't blame ...... Don't blame them, there are warriors among the enemy......"
In front of his eyes, he seemed to see the figure of the enemy general who was charging again, because he was weak, so he became timid, and just a hallucination made him feel frightened.
Yesterday, Wu Yang's arrow, although it was not directly fatal, hit his internal organs. At that time, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he shouted and cursed, saying that he was not seriously injured, but after leaving the battlefield, he could not even ride a horse.
Moreover, his move to stabilize the morale of the army was not of any use, and the losses after the fiasco hit him both physically and mentally.
"I'm not going to be...... Uncle, let my father be careful, be careful of the Song people...... Give that to the vultures and tell him that I can't fight with him...... Let him avenge me...... ...... hatred"
Speaking of this, he coughed suddenly, blood clots kept gushing from the corners of his mouth, and Wanyan Lulu reached out to help him, but he didn't know what to do.
"Prince, you can recuperate from your injuries in peace, you can rest assured, you will be fine......" Yulu comforted softly, but Yuben fell into a coma again, and there was no reaction to his words.
Be careful of the Song people and avenge him......
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he got up and looked at the dejected Jurchen knights around him.
Since the Jurchens started their army, they have won more than they lost, especially such a fiasco, and the loss of most of the men and horses in a battle of 10,000 people has never been there. What's more, in this battle, their crown prince was also seriously injured, and he didn't know if he could survive it.
Fortunately, the extra injured horses gave them enough food so that they would not go hungry.
"Let's go, go back to Shenzhou...... Go back to Shenzhou! Uru ordered.
In Shenzhou City, it is no longer a mess. The Wushu was left in the city by the book, and was not allowed to leave the city, and he was bored and took over the civil affairs of the city.
Although he is only a teenager, he is very well organized. After all, I have been with Ah Guda and others for a long time, and under the dazzle, I have also learned many governance strategies.
The originally chaotic situation, because he stabilized it, the Han, Khitan, Goryeo, and Bohai tribes in the city, whether willing or unwilling, donated their goods and food, which was regarded as a reward for the army. Except for a few eye-catching things, the rest were distributed to the soldiers, which made those subordinates shout long live the fourth prince.
"Alas, I think I'm going to come back with that princess of Liao soon, but it's a pity, it's a pity, if I'm older and can lead an army alone, I will definitely not lose to him!"
On the top of the city, Wushu looked westward, he was in a daze, he was extremely unwilling, Yu Liyan was the prey he chased for hundreds of miles, and was taken away by his half-brother!
Just then, he saw the group of men coming from a distance.
There were very few people and horses, only about 2,000 people, far from the army of 10,000 people when he left, Wushu thought that this was just a striker, but until the troops approached Shenzhou City, he didn't see the follow-up, which made him realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran out of the city, riding a horse and wanting to go out of the city to see.
But he was stopped by the people who left behind him.
"Damn, let me out, I'm going to see what the hell is going on!" The vultures roared.
These people are the cronies of the book, and although they have used the vultures to buy people's hearts, they still strictly implement the order of the book: "The eldest prince has an order, and the fourth prince must not be allowed to leave, and please don't embarrass us with the fourth prince." ”
"You idiots......"
I have heard this sentence many times during this time, and I can't argue at this moment, but after a while, I saw the group of men and horses returning to the city.
Dejected, depressed, terrified...... Any word that can describe a defeated army can be applied to this team.
Wushu already felt bad in his heart, and it was easy to see Hulu, so he rushed forward and shouted, "Uncle, Uncle Hulu, where is the book?" ”
Hulu had his head down, still recalling the fiasco, and when he heard the question of the vulture, he tilted his face and looked at a horse behind him.
The horse, wrapped in cloth, was a body.
On the way, he was already dying.
Wushu rushed over to open the cloth, saw the face of his eldest brother who had always been at odds with him, probed his nose, and made sure that he was dead, Wushu did not have the slightest happiness in his heart, only horror and loss.
He raised his face, and his face was full of hideousness: "Cut the book...... How did he die, and how did you lose? (To be continued.) )
