Chapter 439 - Returning to the City in Victory

The battle of the valley, although more than 10,000 days of Yunwei, but a big victory over the Tang army, after which Qi Shao pursued the whole army, and then defeated the Tang army on the bank of the Win River, the remaining Tang army was shocked, and fled across the Win River in a hurry, Qi Shao wanted to cross the Win River and completely annihilate the Tang army.

When Qi Shao ordered the sergeant to cut down trees, he got the sergeant Fan Mou Feigeon to pass the book, and after a hurried reading, Qi Shao abandoned the idea of pursuing the remnants of the Tang army, and then ordered the whole army to return to Luzhou.

The banner is unfurled, moving in the wind, the 20,000 armored soldiers have solemn expressions, and the fierce killing intent exuded from their bodies, with their steps, the earth is more solemn, with the sunset, the stars and the moon rise, and the night crosses the faces of all the soldiers, until the front leader is on the side of the hunting Daxu, the word Qiyun is very powerful.

The person who led the troops first, even if he was wearing ordinary armor, no matter whether the moonlight sprinkled on his face, showing the coldness at the beginning, or the firmness in his eyes at this moment, it seemed that he had changed from Yue Yu before.

The Qi Yun soldiers behind him all looked solemn, and they didn't realize at all that this was a group of warriors who would be outnumbered and retreat the 130,000 Southern Tang army and return from the battlefield.

But when the moonlight shines on the eyes of these soldiers, they can see clearly the red light in their eyes, faintly appearing, under the night, there is no army, only thousands of red rays silently moving forward in the night.

Such a strange scene, the leader of the army, not only did not show surprise, but also showed the same weird red glow in his eyes, but compared to the weird eyes of the Qi Yun sergeant behind him, the red glow in the eyes of the leader of the army was like a flickering formation in the night, shining endlessly.

Fortunately, there is no one in the wilderness at night, otherwise if ordinary people see it, they may see a ghost and die of fear on the spot.

Seeing that he could already see Luzhou City from afar, the leader of the army, the corners of his mouth revealed a slight evil smile, and he slowly raised his hand, in the night, if it was ordinary, how could the big soldiers behind him see clearly, but now when the general of the leader raised his hand, the generals behind him seemed to have received instructions in an instant, and at the same time stopped the pace of progress.

Under the sword eyebrows, Lang raised his eyes slightly, looked at the light of the torches under Luzhou City, closed his eyes slightly, and the generals behind him were also like him, standing with their eyes closed, the whole army suddenly fell into dead silence, when the winter wind caressed, only the sound of hunting was heard, and no sound was heard.

In the darkness, if you look closely, you can see the leading general, with the reins in one hand and the other wrist, there is a string of white jade prayer beads, and at this time it is constantly twisting this string of jade holders, and after a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the red light in the eyes of the leading general has disappeared, and it has changed back to a clear state.

Looking back at the looming valley, he hung the jade hold back on his wrist, withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes and waited quietly again, until there was a commotion in the army behind him, and the general who led the army opened his eyes.

"We're hereβ€”"

"Master Wu, why are we back in Luzhou again, aren't we confronting the Tang Army in Yingjiang?"

"No, I seem to be in a dream... Killed countless Tang troops, I just remember... Tang Juncang changed and fled..."

The soldiers seemed to wake up from a dream and exchanged their heads and ears, and the generals on horseback were also worried about waking up from a big dream, looking at each other and talking in a low voice.

"Lao Liu, do you remember why we are here?"

"I don't remember, I just remember, we are charging towards the Tang Army... I can't remember what happened next, Brother Hu Yi? Do you remember?"

"Lao Tzu's head is confused, as if he was drunk, what you said, I seem to have some impressions, and I don't remember what happened after that."

......

When all the soldiers talked about the doubts in their hearts, they only heard that the leader of the army in front of them had pulled out his horse and turned around, and everyone looked at it, and saw that the man under the big sword had a sword eyebrow, and hurriedly gathered his mind, turned over and dismounted, and saluted and shouted to this person.

"I've seen His Royal Highness!"

Qi Shao rode his horse slowly, and all the soldiers consciously avoided it, dodged a way, and let the prince walk to the army and listen to him.

"Brothers bravely killed the enemy, our army has been on the bank of the Yingshui River, defeating the Tang army, we have not lived up to the expectations of the brothers who died in the valley, the Tang army has retreated, and Luzhou has been safe!"

The voice of the prince resounded in the army, reaching the ears of every soldier, and everyone was stunned, as if they had not yet eased up, until a moment later, the army side did not come out

Xin liked to exhale, and then gradually rose, Qi Yun soldiers all celebrated with their foreheads, although there were still a few people who still frowned and thought, thinking about their battles with the Tang Army, but after the tea hour, they also celebrated with the cheers, leaving the doubts in their hearts behind...

"Okay, although the Tang army has temporarily retreated, we still need to strictly defend Luzhou, beware of the Tang army regaining its strength and crossing the Win River again! Pass the order, go back to Luzhou tonight to rest!" Seeing the joy of the soldiers, the prince's eyes moved slightly, and he ordered the march for a moment, and he had already pulled his horse and turned around, heading towards Luzhou.

β€”β€”

The south gate of Luzhou is wide open, the defenders have been waiting outside the city gate, each holding torches, looking forward to it, in front of the defenders, the general Zhou Min and the military officer Fan Mou two stood in the cold wind, looking at the dark scenery ahead, waiting for the return of the son. Look at the book

In the vast dark night, a little fire suddenly appeared, and then thousands of torches were like dragons winding in the night, cruising towards Luzhou City.

Fan Mou's slender eyes were overjoyed, and he hurriedly spoke to his side.

"His Royal Highness the Prince has returned victorious!"

When the defenders heard this, they all opened their mouths and shouted in unison: "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Prince, break the Tang Army, and return victorious!"

The people in the city heard that the Tang army retreated, and the hanging heart finally fell, when Luzhou Taishou abandoned the people to escape, the people thought that they were going to die under the sharp blade of the Tang army, and the army of King Yun entered the city for a short time, not only did not commit any offense to the people, but now it is to repel the Tang army and keep the city of Luzhou.

For a while, the entire sky above Luzhou City was full of cheers, and under the jubilation of the city, there was only one person, who did not see any joy, and his eyes were full of solemn worry, looking at the Qiyun army that was gradually approaching Luzhou.

This person is the general Zhou Min, although his internal injuries have not healed, but he insists on coming with Fan Mou, and at this moment he is whispering to himself: "The enemy is outnumbered, among the ten thousand armies, capture the enemy's main general... Then he led the army to the battle, outnumbered the people, and returned with a great victory... Thinking about it, it is the King of Yun and his old man's own recruitment, and it is difficult to do it, is it my Zhou Min who underestimated His Royal Highness, or is there another hidden secret..."

Seeing that the leader of the army would gradually approach from far away, until more than ten zhang, Zhou Min temporarily collected his thoughts, did not wait for Fan Mou to be on his side, took a selfie of the horse, and stepped forward.

"It seems that General Zhou is fine, it's really my luck for Qi Yun!" The prince led the army forward, and when he saw the pale Zhou Min, his mouth was full of joy.

Zhou Min and others, who accompanied King Yun to fight for half a life, just glanced at it, and saw that the prince in front of him seemed to be a different person compared with a few days ago, although the sword eyebrows were still the same, but there was a little less politeness and more domineering in that gaze.

Quietly, Zhou Min turned over and dismounted, and according to the etiquette in the army, he saluted Qi Shao and said: "Zhou Min made a mistake in judgment, so that our army was defeated in the valley, putting the prince in danger, and I ask the prince to punish him!"

When all the soldiers saw Zhou Min kneeling and saluting, they all thought that His Royal Highness the Prince would help this old minister who had followed King Yun for many years to comfort him, but unexpectedly, Qi Shao still sat on the back of the horse and spoke lightly.

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and if there is no General Zhou to bring troops to help, this son of the world would have already died in the valley, how can he capture that Tang Zaixing... At present, although our army has temporarily defeated the Tang army, but the remnants of the enemy have crossed the river and fled, I don't know if the whole army will come again, our army should quickly rest and recuperate, and the troops will win the river, in case the Tang army will come again."

In the words, although it was relieved, everyone heard a little perfunctory from the mouth of the prince, although Zhou Min was in danger to the prince, but everyone knew that it was caused by the prince's insistence on chasing the enemy, but the generals were only between the prince and General Zhou, and they did not dare to open their mouths at will.

Just when he was in an embarrassing situation in the field, Fan Mou got out of the crowd, leaned over to help Zhou Min, and spoke to the prince on horseback: "General Zhou is the favorite general of King Yun, there is no mistake in using troops this time, according to Fan, it is also caused by the cunning of the thief of the Tang army, General Zhou should not take it to heart, His Royal Highness didn't also say it, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers..."

Zhou Min looked at the strangeness in Shizi's eyes, and even more determined to guess in his heart, his eyes moved slightly, and he immediately threw away Fan Mou's arm and said to Qi Shaojin: "What Shizi said is right, the Tang army retreated this time, I don't know if the whole army will come again

In Zhou's opinion, since the prince captured that Tang Zaixing, he might as well interrogate him overnight, or he might as well get a glimpse of the reality of the Tang army, or ..."

"General Zhou's advice, this son will consider it, but the head of the Tang army is a thief, and his martial arts are strong, and this son has ordered him to be strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to see him without my order!" Before Zhou Min finished speaking, the prince's eyes were already a little impatient, and when he spoke, he already revealed that there was no doubt, and then his eyes moved and turned to the military teacher.

frowned, Zhou Min looked at the prince who had changed his temperament in a short period of time, and could only retreat quietly, watching that under the crowd, the prince led the army into the city, and when he wanted to dissuade him, Xu was too worried in his heart, involving internal injuries, and coughing violently again, so that the famous general's figure shook slightly, and Fan Mou on his side saw this, and he was about to walk to it, and when he held Zhou Min, he whispered in his ear.

"The general should go back to the other courtyard to rest first, the prince led the army to fight many battles, and he was already tired, so it would not be too late to wait for the general to persuade him tomorrow."

Zhou Min gasped for a moment, and finally calmed down the burning feeling in his chest, and looked at the back of the prince who had already passed away, so he could only nod slightly and acquiesce to Fan Mou's method.

The army returned to the city, and each returned to the camp to rest, and the rest went to their posts to defend the city.

The lord of the city will take off the big tent, the prince who has taken off his armor, has changed into a light robe, twisted jade in his hand, paced back and forth in the tent, and fought for days, it seems that the prince Qi Shao did not show fatigue, his eyes are still bright, and the pace is getting faster and faster, as if waiting for someone.

After a stick of incense, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent, and the guard's voice of scolding and questioning sounded, and it was stopped by this person's identity...

Hearing this person's footsteps, Qi Shao stopped pacing, his eyes turned slightly, and he whispered outside the tent: "Fan Mou?"

"It's Fan Mou, it seems that His Royal Highness the Prince hasn't rested yet." Fan Mou's words were very calm.

"This son has been waiting for you for a long time, and then he will enter the tent and speak!"

When Fan Mou walked into the tent, the guards outside the Zhangwai had already retreated, and the main general was around the big tent, and there were only Qi Shao and Fan Mou.

"Zhou Min has taken a break." Shizi stopped the jade in his hand and asked.

Fan Mou saluted, raised his eyes and responded: "Zhou Min is not like others in the army, he has followed King Yun for many years and has experienced a hundred battles..."

"Needless to say, if you don't want to move south, you need the main general to lead the troops... Yan Ruohai has received my order, when will he come?"

"The Yan Protector Army has obtained the order of the prince, and he is already on his way to Luzhou..."

At this point, Fan Mou's narrow eyes showed hesitation, and he was fully seen by the prince of the world, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and the prince asked in a deep tone: "You should know my character, what you passed on the book, can you be sure?"

Fan Mou immediately understood, bowed his hand and said: "The military reports from the north and Zhongzhou have verified that His Royal Highness the Great Prince set up an ambush in the mountains of no return, and with the assistance of Gu Jianyi, he broke the Northern Jin Dynasty, and Zong Yan was seriously injured and fled... King Yun has also defeated the Xiongnu in Zhongzhou..."

When the prince heard this, he turned around, silently, the jade holding in his hand kept twisting, Fan Mou's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, turned left and right for a moment, moved forward, and asked in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness the prince, please forgive Fan Mou for saying bluntly, the northern border and Zhongzhou have been decided, and the Zhao family's qi is not exhausted..."

"Master Soldier."

Shizi interrupted, raised his eyes lightly, and reflected the candlelight in the tent in his eyes, as if his eyes were ignited by the light of the candle flame, and the red light flashed slightly.

"During the time I was fighting with the Tang Army, how did you try to contact the people of Zhao Du?"

Hearing this, Fan Mou hurriedly withdrew the light in his eyes, and Fan Mou bowed his head and said respectfully, "It's done!"

"What's missing?" Shizi looked back slightly, and the invisible pressure in his eyes had forced Fan Mou to feel panic rise in his chest.

Looking left and right, Fan Mou tried his best to lower his voice and speak: "If you want to control people with drugs, maybe... Maybe only the Tang Sect can do it..."

"So, I'm right to leave Tang Zaixing alive?" Shizi turned around, and the red glow in his eyes had disappeared.
