"Well, since you're so sincere, what else would Ben have to worry about?" Hua An said and stood up, walked in front of the rebel general, and said softly: "You will go back to tell your general later, as long as you return to the Great Jin Dynasty and no longer rebel, the conditions he put forward are completely acceptable to the Great Jin Dynasty, but you must also remember that you must not rebel again, otherwise, the next time the general quells the rebellion will not be so polite, I am afraid that your Nanyue clan will be wiped out!" ”

Hua An's words were threatening, and the rebel generals trembled when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, general, we will never rebel against the court in the future." ”

Hua An patted the rebel general's shoulder, and said: "In order to show sincerity, Ben will stop the siege plan, and take the initiative to withdraw 10,000 troops first, thunderstorm, you immediately go to prepare, after dawn, all the cavalry will withdraw to the capital." ”

"Yes, big brother, let's go." Thunderstorm answered loudly and left the tent with several military lords under his command.

In fact, Hua'an did this to kill two birds with one stone, not only showing sincerity in front of the rebel generals, but also saving the cavalry time to return to the capital.

Seeing that Hua An was so happy, the rebel general hurriedly said: "Since the general is so sincere, the last general will return to the city and report the good news to the general." ”

"Okay, there you go! Someone, send this general. Hua An said politely.

"Farewell." The rebel general clasped his fists and strode out of the tent.

Looking at the figure of the rebel generals leaving, Hua An breathed a sigh of relief, it was too coincidental, the news that Zhao was about to move had just come from the direction of the capital, and the rebels also happened to come to Shun at this time, thus avoiding a disaster of swords.

"Big brother, what should we do next, do we withdraw directly?" Wang San asked.

Hua An thought for a while, and said softly: "From the rebels agreeing to surrender to the official surrender table, it takes a lot of time, and the details are also very cumbersome. ”

"Yes, big brother, I'll arrange it." Wang San said and walked out of the tent.

"You all go back and prepare, the army is ready to withdraw to the capital at any time." Hua An said to the generals in the tent.

"Yes, General." The lords of the armies received the order and strode out of the tent.

Hua'an saw joy on the faces of his generals, after all, their hometowns are near the capital, and it has been a few months since they set out to fight in southern Xinjiang, and the soldiers are homesick, so why isn't Hua'an himself homesick?

Jiude City was at least three or four thousand miles away from the capital city of Jiankang, and it would take at least three or four months to reach the capital according to the normal marching speed, and the army of Zhao State was already ready to move on the border, and Hua'an felt the need to speed up the march and rush back to the capital in the shortest possible time.

To this end, Hua'an formulated several practical and effective measures to ensure that the army could quickly return to the capital.

First of all, since the city from Jiude City to the capital is inside the Great Jin Dynasty, there are no powerful enemies along the way, at most they are bandits and bandits, and they do not pose a big threat to the powerful Northern Expeditionary Army. Therefore, Hua'an decided to divide his troops and withdraw his troops to prevent the large army from blocking the road, and at the same time let the cavalry go first, and the infantry in the baggage carts behind.

Secondly, all heavy equipment was discarded, and all the five hundred thunderbolts and newly manufactured three-bow bed crossbows of the battalion, as well as various heavy equipment, were handed over to the Canton Corps to reduce the burden of withdrawal.

Thirdly, send scouts in advance to the city through which the withdrawal will pass, and order the officials of the city where they are located to receive the large army, and let them prepare their tents and food, so that when the retreating Northern Expeditionary Army passes there, they can eat and rest quickly, so as to increase the speed of the march.

Finally, mobilize the whole army and let the soldiers prepare for a forced march, and Hua'an himself will personally lead the cavalry corps of the pro-military battalion and the thunderstorm to return to the capital first.

With these measures, Hua'an believes that the army will be able to rush back to the capital half of the time in advance, so as to ensure the safety of the capital.

Wang San went to Deng Yue's Chinese army tent to hand over the surrender of the rebels, and Deng Yue learned that Zhao was about to move, and immediately said that the Northern Expeditionary Army could return to the capital immediately, and the mess in Jiaozhou would be handed over to him.

Early in the morning of the second day, the cavalry officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army were ready to go, and all kinds of heavy materials had been transferred to the Guangzhou Corps, and Deng Yue was also fully responsible for the surrender of the rebels.

Thunderstorm rode to Hua An's side and said softly, "Big brother, my men and horses are ready to go." ”

Hua An nodded and said: "Jiaozhou is quite far away from the capital, and the situation in the direction of the capital is also relatively urgent. ”

"Big brother, don't worry, they are all veterans, and they are not afraid of hardship." Thunderstorm calmly replied.

"Okay, Thunderstorm, you immediately lead the army to set off, and in a few days, the eldest brother will catch up with you with the pro-military camp." Huaan gave the order to the thunderstorm to set off.

"The army is out, come to me." Thunderstorm shouted, led 10,000 cavalry, and slowly left.

After the cavalry of the thunderstorm set out, Hua'an assisted Deng Yue in dealing with the surrender of the rebels, and urged the main infantry to step up the repair of equipment and prepare to withdraw to the capital at any time.

A day later, Zhao Wu's army of nearly 10,000 slowly left the camp in a baggage cart pulled by oxen and marched in the direction of the capital.

The rebels saw that the Jin army took the initiative to retreat a large number of soldiers and horses, and their trust in the Jin army increased greatly.

Another day later, Tie Niu's men and horses were also ready to go, and under Hua An's order, marched in the direction of the capital, at the same time, Hua An himself and Wang San, with a thousand cavalry from the pro-military battalion, chased the thunderstorm army in front, and before leaving, told Tie Niu to lead the team and speed up the march.

Tie Niu naturally nodded and agreed one by one.

Eight days later, in the evening, Hua An and Wang San arrived at Jiaozhi City with their own military camp, and the 10,000 cavalry of the Thunderstorm Legion had already settled outside the city.

Hua'an's pro-army camp and the main cavalry of Thunderstorm joined forces, and after resting in Jiaozhi City for a day, they continued to march in the direction of the capital.

The terrain and climate of Jiaozhou made the officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army very uncomfortable, and after leaving the land of Jiaozhou, the officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army suddenly felt relaxed all over their bodies, and the speed of the march was also much faster.

In the more than 1,000 miles from Jiaozhi City to Panyu City in Guangzhou, the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army arrived in only ten days, of course, this is inseparable from the timely supply of cities along the way.
