Chapter 271: The Commander Returns to the Camp
After Yue Shao'an left, Mrs. Long returned to the bedroom. The subordinates heard the crying inside, and went to check, but they were scolded bitterly.
Yue Shao'an looked back at Xiaolou gloomily, and faintly seemed to be able to hear the crying upstairs, he sighed, knowing that he still didn't want to disturb her at this time, let her be quiet alone.
He walked to the tree at the edge of the clearing, took the red horse tied there in his hand, patted the red horse's neck lightly, turned to Yue Shao'an's horse, and went straight to the barracks.
It's not that he doesn't want to go back to the academy to see the Ruan sisters, but the brothers who were brought out of the army this time, only Lao Niu came back alone, and the others all died in the Jin country, and he couldn't even bring their bodies back, although, when he left, he was ready to sacrifice, each of them had no family, and they would not see their parents, wives and children crying, but the young and fresh lives were all lost in the dense forest outside Yanjing City, and he had to give them an explanation, and at the same time, It's also to explain to yourself, otherwise, it will be difficult to sleep comfortably.
Wan Yanxiang is the princess of the Jin Kingdom, and the red horse under her seat is naturally not bad, this way back from the north, Yue Shao'an has already understood that this horse is better than Liu Zongyan's mount. Therefore, although the military camp was still some distance away, he walked very fast, and the red horse seemed to be human, and he didn't need to drive it away, so he ran quickly.
In front of the garrison of the Kaizhou army, Zhang Heng, Liu Tong, and Ma Min had already waited in front of the camp, and they were very happy to hear that the commander had returned safely, until now, they knew that those brothers actually followed the commander to the north, and went to Yanjingcheng to play around, envy them, they were all sighs, they now already know Yue Shao'an's past, Yue Shao'an's fame in Hangzhou is even greater than the emperor's, maybe some children don't know the emperor's year name, but the story of the emperor's introduction to the god thunder is spread by word of mouth, It has become a good story in Hangzhou.
Now, they know why Yue Shao'an can quickly ascend to the position of commander from a small ten general in Kaizhou, the speed of such a climb is simply too fast, before, they were puzzled, but now, they completely trust him, trust his ability, and also trust his character.
Therefore, Yue Shao'an was able to rescue the five princes back in Yanjing, they were not surprised, it seemed to be a matter of course, but they didn't know what price their commander had paid, and these costs were almost unbearable for them.
Yue Shaoan had no intention of fighting for power and profit, and to pay attention to the disputes in this world, but he didn't want to, it didn't mean that he could escape all this, since he came to Jinghang Academy, it seems that these things are destined in the dark.
In fact, when he got involved with Jin Guo, it was much earlier than Yue Shao'an imagined, and the moment he rescued Zhu Chongyi, he was targeted by Jin Guo's secret agents.
The moment the old emperor gave him the token of the emperor, he was already destined to be unable to get out of these disputes. Ning'er's departure made him determined to make himself strong and protect them as much as possible, but in the process of becoming stronger, more people were hurt.
He was even a little confused, not knowing whether his choice was right or wrong, but these things are no longer important now, because he has embarked on this road and can not retreat now.
If he wants to retreat to the mountains and forests now and live a quiet life, what about Xiangxiang, who will pick her up. Besides, the people he offended now will definitely not let him go.
Chen Guang's younger brother Chen Liang, although Yue Shao'an doesn't know his existence yet, he has successfully entered the palace, and in the bloody night of the Beijing Division, he was lucky to save his life, he is now in Hangzhou, although he can't threaten Yue Shao'an now, who can expect what will happen later.
Putting aside Chen Liang, there is still a complete face, and it is impossible to let him go, and it is impossible for King Liang's revenge for killing his son not to be avenged. Speaking of which, now as long as he loses the power in his hands, he will be killed by ten thousand knives, and he will not be able to die, which forces him to go on this road.
As the saying goes, it's easy to get on the ship and it's hard to get off the ship, he has already got on the thief ship, and he is thinking about getting down, and now it seems that it is almost impossible. Yue Shaoan also understands this, so although he is a little emotionally confused now, he understands this deeply.
If he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself, then how can he protect them, while he grows, it also brings them greater danger, so he must be stronger. It seemed to have become a vicious circle, and although he understood that it was a strange circle, he could not get out of it.
Zhang Heng: They are still waiting. Gradually, I saw the figure riding a red horse.
"Lord Commander is back......" I don't know who shouted, and the sergeants of the whole battalion instantly raised their heads and waited for his arrival, and shouted in unison: "Commander!" Command! Commander ......"
Since the start of the Jin and Song wars, the Song army has been defeated all the way, and even the Beijing division has been lost, which makes these Kaizhou soldiers who have not participated in the battle of the Jin and Song Dynasty feel extremely ashamed, not only them, it can be said that every Song person feels very ashamed, however, the soldiers with full of enthusiasm have not heard a trace of news that is beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty.
Just when they felt breathless, angry, but powerless, they heard that their commander only brought forty people to kill the first warrior Asalan under the four princes of the Jin Kingdom, successfully rescued the five princes, and also took back their fiancΓ©e, the daughter of the prime minister, Liu Ruyan, at the same time, what is even more exaggerated is that the commander actually got the only princess of the Jin Kingdom. This series of news all encouraged them. For a while, Yue Shaoan has become their idol, being a man, and being like Yue's commander!
In fact, these low-level soldiers didn't know that the news they got was deliberately spread by someone, and it had been exaggerated by Liu Zongyan.
Liu Zongyan did everything not to increase the value of his son-in-law, but the defeat of the Great Song Dynasty was a mess, which made the morale of the soldiers low, and in their impression, it seemed that the Jin State was too strong, so strong that it was invincible, especially those who participated in the Battle of the Jin and Song Dynasty.
Liu Zongyan has always wanted to save the morale of the army, but he has never had a chance, this time, he finally found an opportunity, and at the same time, he also found out which person in the battle with Yue Shaoan in Kaizhou was the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, and it was this person who led the Jin ** team to beat the Song army into a mess.
The four princes of the Jin Kingdom seem to have become an undefeated myth. Releasing this news will undoubtedly give the Song people an illusion, the four princes were not terrible, just before the Jin and Song Wars, they were actually defeated in the hands of Commander Yue, if Commander Yue was allowed to lead the army at that time, the Song army would definitely not be defeated.
Because of the deliberate planning of the imperial court and the assistance of the existing facts, Yue Shao'an's reputation was pushed to a very high position, but Yue Shao'an didn't know anything at this time.
He looked at the emotional sergeant and shouted, but there was a trace of shame, a trace of sadness, and a trace of pain in his heart. Except for the old cow rescued at the end, none of the brothers he brought back were brought back, but the sergeants under his command were like this, and they didn't mind these at all.
As soon as the red horse marched to the front of the camp, Zhang Heng took the lead, and all the soldiers knelt on one knee in unison, and shouted: "Welcome the commander back to the camp!" β
Although Yue Shaoan had not yet come out of the grief just now, but in the face of such a scene, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, he jumped off the horse, stepped forward to help Zhang Heng, Liu Tong, and Ma Min up respectively, and said with a solemn face: "Brothers, get up, I have something to announce to you." β
"Huh!" With the voice, all the people stood up.
Yue Shaoan nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that during the time he left, their drills had not fallen. After that, he whispered something to Zhang Heng for a while.
Zhang Heng turned around, stood beside Yue Shao'an, and said loudly to the battalion general: "The commander is going north at this time, and everyone already knows what he has done. At the same time, along with the Commander-in-Chief, there are thirty-eight sons and daughters in our camp, all of whom are true heroes, and they are all good ......."
"Good! Good! Good ......" shouted the sergeants, very excited, as if those people had come out of here, which gave them the supreme glory.
"But!" As soon as Zhang Heng spoke, the following fell silent again, and he then said loudly: "But none of them will come back." Zhang Heng said, his face was gloomy, and the soldiers also lowered their heads.
"Still." Zhang Heng's words changed: "Although they fell in the Jin country, but they died in glory, there are enough Jin people to bury them, they are still heroes, we can't forget them." β
"Of course not!" Liu Tong chimed in. The sergeants' emotions were mobilized again, as Liu Tong shouted loudly.
Subsequently, Zhang Heng said: "The commander has an order, although their bodies cannot be brought back for burial, we still have to pay tribute to them in their homeland and set up a monument for future generations to admire." After that, he softened his tone and said, "Brothers, the Lord Commander must be tired of traveling for days, so you all go to practice." Let the Archon rest and rest. β
"Yes!" As he spoke, the sergeants left one after another. Zhang Heng took the reins of the red horse from Yue Shao'an's hand and followed Yue Shao'an's side, he knew that Yue Shao'an must have something to order, so he was not in a hurry to leave.
Sure enough, after Yue Shao'an sighed slightly, he turned his head and said, "Brother Zhang, turn around, you go and pack up the clothes of the brothers who went north with me and make a mound for them." β
"Yes!" Zhang Heng responded with a fist. After going down to settle the red horse, he arranged the things that Yue Shao'an had explained, and it was already in the afternoon, and then he came to Yue Shao'an's big tent again.
As soon as he entered the tent door, he saw Yue Shao'an's face full of anger, he couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't know why Yue Shao'an was suddenly angry, and was about to ask, but was blocked by Yue Shao'an's words, only to see Yue Shao'an say with a calm face: "Brother Zhang, hurry up and do the well-dressed matter, let people bring the horse here, I want to go out." β
Although Zhang Heng was puzzled, he didn't want to ask each other, so he nodded, and sent someone to lead the horse over, Yue Shao'an walked out of the tent, and Yue Shao'an rode on his horse and went straight away.
Zhang Heng's face was worried, he didn't know what would make him so angry, so he called the guards to ask, only saying that the commander had walked around the camp for a while, and then came back, I don't know why......
