Chapter 242: Seeing Nothing Is Nothing

Liang Dong didn't expect that this adventure would go deep into the Qi country, and he would not encounter the interception of most of the Qi country!

Not even the Turkic barbarians!

Even the first to encounter it turned out to be a friendly army!

I saw the red flag of the Zhou Kingdom waving on the tower of Zhaozhou City! Liang Dong thought he was dazzled!

Before long, a scout rode in the city! Poof, get down on one knee! Come and greet your allies!

Liang Dongcai accepted this strange reality with difficulty-

In the country of Qi...... Friendly......

What kind of decay has it become!

"The facts of the battle in Mobei tell us!"

"As long as I have no less than 70,000 troops in the northern army! That's enough to make 400,000 Turkic barbarians! Frightened!! ”

Tang Yong stood on the city tower and spoke to the soldiers with endless heroism:

"Don't hide it from everyone! I thought it was before! There must be no return for this trip! But save millions of people from hell! This! It's enough to make me Tang Yong! ”

"Die without regrets!"

"But now! God is telling us morally! ”

"There is more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust!"

"I'm going to go north! Can't die! ”

"God is supporting my army of the Northern Expedition with morality! Will the Turkic barbarians! Expelled back to Mobei! ”

"Dare to touch the Central Plains! The one who made me a hell! ”

"Far away! Must be punished! ”

Tang Yong's loud voice ignited the blood of all the soldiers!

And Liang Dong, who followed the scout from the south gate to enter the city of Zhaozhou, heard the heroic words from afar, and was inevitably infected and boiling blood by those words.

"Well said!"

Liang Dong took the lead and came downstairs to the Beicheng Tower, looked up at Tang Yong and Yang Shuang standing on the city tower, and couldn't help but raise his hands and clapped loudly!

"Brother Tang......"

Yang Shuang saw that the person who came to help was actually Liang Dong, the president of the Central Council, and he was full of surprise.

When Jin Zhiwu was crowned earlier, Yang Shuang had seen him up close.

When explaining to Tang Yong how high the status of the comer was, Tang Yong immediately understood-

It must have been sent by Yuwen Shihong.

Yuwen Shihong never thought of letting the Northern Expeditionary Army come to Qi to die in order to make up for the major mistakes caused by the withdrawal of troops from the Turks.

Otherwise, they would never see the possibility of reinforcements now.

Liang Dong walked up to the city tower, and the two knelt down on one knee to Liang Dong with military strength:

"I've seen General Liang!"

Liang Dong smiled and helped the two up, and said to the two without hiding his praise:

"The two of you are in the Turks, it must be extremely difficult, how difficult it is to win more with less, anyone who has experienced the battlefield understands!"

"Your Majesty has said that the 70,000 Northern Expeditionary Army did not die in the battle of Mobei but were in danger in the Qi State, this kind of thing, Your Majesty will not allow it to happen!"

"Your Majesty will not let the 70,000 Northern Expeditionary Army die in vain in the territory of Qi State!"

Hearing this, guilt sprouted in Yang Shuang's heart, such a dangerous situation was all caused by him alone, if it weren't for his own ......

If you think about it now, it won't help.

He took out the pair of marching tiger talismans from his arms and put them in front of Liang Dong with both hands:

"The last general wears a sinful body, and he is no longer worthy to lead the army to fight! Please also ......"

"Eh," Liang Dong deliberately did not mention his previous mistakes, so as not to dampen morale in such a complicated situation, and he immediately interrupted Yang Shuang's words:

"What are the merits, it's not something to be decided now, there is only one thing to do at the moment, and that is to drive the Turkic barbarians back to Mobei!"

As he spoke, Liang Dong could see that Yang Shuang's face was ugly, his sickness was clear at a glance, his bare arms were scarred, and the signs of pus could be seen at a glance.

He pushed the tiger talisman back, but at the same time said to him:

"I will be in command of the battle against the Turkic barbarians, and the two of them first fought in the Turks for several months, and then traveled long distances deep into the territory of the Qi State."

"Exhausted, hard work."

"This general ordered the two of them to lead the wounded and immediately return to Beijing from Bingzhou to the west, so as not to suffer losses due to mere battles, so I will be called to Da Zhou without two brave generals!"

With that, Liang Dong took out a pair of tiger talismans from his arms, and ordered to the two teams of 80,000 soldiers downstairs in the city:

"From now on, all employees will be integrated into one! It's for the Eastern Route Army! ”

"The Eastern Route Army listens to the order! The wounded are out of the ranks! With General Tang and General Yang! The class teacher returns to Beijing! ”

"The rest of the soldiers are re-arrayed! Take on the Turkic barbarians! ”

……

The grain and grass on Yang Shuang's body have long been exhausted, and in the past half a month in the Qi State, it has been all thanks to Tang Yong's continuous redistribution of rations that it has been supported until now.

There is a saying in military law, you must not plunder the people, and those who violate it will be beheaded!

This military law is like being tied to the neck all the time, and no soldier stretches out the claws of plundering to the people!

Therefore, if you do not evacuate the wounded at this time, you will become a burden that drags down the army.

Tang Yong counted that there were more than 5,000 people who wanted to retreat back to Chang'an.

Most of them were not injured in battle, but fell ill from exhaustion.

I didn't rest much when I was in Mobei, and I had to endure the water and soil in a foreign land.

After retreating, he didn't even have a rest, so he traveled a long way to Qi State.

The two of them could expect that there would be countless people who were exhausted to death on the way.

"Brother Tang, the matter of returning to Beijing will be under your command," when the whole army was about to start, Yang Shuang suddenly opened his mouth and said goodbye to Tang Yong for the time being:

"I still can't rest assured that Yanzhou ......"

"Although Yanzhou has been slaughtered, the old woman's cry for help, more than ten days have passed, and it is still vivid and clearly floating in my ears."

"If I don't go, I'm really ...... in my heart"

Tang Yong could understand him, and when he scolded Yang Shuang fiercely, he was also tormented in his heart.

Whose heart is made of flesh, who will do such a thing when he sees death and does not save it?

But at that time, between saving one person and saving the lives of people in dozens of states and counties, Tang Yong had no other choice but to grit his teeth and choose the latter.

Now, although it is a little late, even if there is still a living mouth in Yanzhou City at that time, more than ten days have passed.

Even if the survivors were not starved to death, there was a high probability that they would have died from the plague that broke out after the slaughter.

Yang Shuang should also be allowed to go.

If there is a miracle, he can untie the knot.

If there is no miracle......

"You are not lightly injured, I can let you go, but there is only one request."

"That is, to protect yourself, and not to touch yourself indiscriminately, so that you can be infected with the plague."

After saying that, Tang Yong took off the grain bag on his body and hung it around Yang Shuang's neck, and at the same time took off Yang Shuang's long and narrow grain bag that was already empty, and tied his face to Yang Shuang's mouth and nose:

"I've used this method before, and seven years ago, when Anzhou was sacked by the Turkic barbarians, there was also an outbreak of the plague."

"At that time, like you, I was in pain, obsessed with staying in the city and searching for the people who were still alive."

"That's how I covered my mouth and nose at the time, and I didn't let the wound touch the wound, and luckily I wasn't infected by the plague."

After saying the words, Tang Yong took a deep breath and said to Yang Shuang with a smile:

"Be sure, see you in Chang'an!"
