Volume 1 Troubled Boys Chapter 188 Sleepless Nights
The Yuejia army camp was fluttering with flags, and except for the guards who patrolled closely, everyone was immersed in a strange atmosphere.
This is not the first time that a soldier in the army has experienced the test of life and death, nor is it the first time that he has collected the corpse of his comrade and buried it with his own hands, but this time it seems to be different from the past, and it is difficult for everyone to explain the difference.
Maybe it's because the tragic scene in the canyon is still fresh in people's minds, or maybe it's because they have only seen this defeat in their lives.
After Wan Yutang returned to the camp, he had been in a coma all night, Luo Bei and Kill Sheng were by his side, Yue Yun, Yue Lei, and Wen Qingqing had all come.
Not far from the Yuejia Army flag, there was a banner that was already extremely broken, and the completely broken flag was stained with a lot of blood, and whenever someone walked by, he couldn't help but look sideways at it.
This is the flag of the Youyi Army that Dong Xian handed over to Gao Chong from the battlefield, and Gao Chong tried his best to protect it, although it was completely impossible to see the original appearance, but Yue Fei still brought it back, and placed it not far from the military flag of the Yue family.
He said he wanted to keep the flag alive forever.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the candles were bright, and the cheeks of the generals were red and white.
Everyone was full of grief and indignation, and the sorrow was naturally for Dong Xian, for the high favor, and for the 20,000 soldiers who died; the anger was because of the great trap set up, and the person who conspired with Tiehuache must have been meticulous and had been planning for a long time, and he had done so many things so that the army that had entered the canyon would not return.
It would have been understandable for the two armies to fight with all means, but with their understanding of the Jin army, everyone knows that the Jurchens have always respected heroes, can defend their dignity with their lives, and disdain those shady methods, so it is obvious that the person who can lay down such a vast and meticulous killing situation is likely to be the Central Plains.
Compared with the iron horsemen of foreign races, such a thing is even more outrageous, and it is not done above board.
Niu Gao has always wanted to speak, but it can be seen that Yue Fei is silent, and everyone looks at me and I look at you, so I barely endured it for a long time.
At this time, he felt that it was too depressing.
"If I want me to say what else to think, it is impossible for the Jin people to recover in a short period of time after this big defeat, if it weren't for the trap set by sinister people, I'm afraid that Dong Laosan will lead 20,000 horses to go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and now that the people are dead, what's the use of us staring like this? Why don't you just attack with the whole army, directly kill the Jin people's lair, and capture the Jin Wushu?" After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel hearty in his heart.
Yue Fei didn't speak, but kept looking down at what was going on.
When he was young, Yue Fei learned art from Zhou Dong, and he was determined to recover the rivers and mountains, after many years of military experience, he was brave and talented, and was valued by the current British Duke Han Shizhong, and repeatedly made military exploits, at that time he was full of hope for the recovery of the rivers and mountains.
But until now his temples have turned white, there is only this real victory, and now if he waves his army north, he may lose the world in a war, and he doesn't know.
However, the official report from the imperial court made him sigh.
The official report is not a holy decree, but it seems to be dictated by the emperor and written by others, which says: Self-righteousness and Hu have entered the Kou, this fifteen years. Our division is in battle for millions, and it has never been heard of as a lone army, when it is a great evil, and the people who resist dogs and sheep are gathered together, in the plains and wilderness, and those who use their lives today. Gai Qing is loyal to the gods, Wei Huifu is a soldier; Ji Er is on a journey, Xianhuai overcomes the enemy's heart, and he is trapped in battle and destroys the fortification, and he does not hesitate. The fierce fights are repeated, and the ugly ones are defeated. Nian Zi Feng Di
At the same time, there is a lot of pain. However, the situation of the captives has been exhausted, and the Fang Zhen of our army, who is still serving the will of fame and fame, is in the period of annihilation. I want to be loyal and diligent, and I sigh deeply. Drop the level of money 200,000 yuan, reward the soldiers. Therefore, I would like to know about it. ”
On the surface, they all praise the Yue family's military gods for their courage to break the enemy, and they want to reward meritorious soldiers, but as long as they study it carefully, they know that there is another mystery in it.
After breaking the Jin army, Yue Fei personally wrote a good news to let people quickly send a horse to Lin'an, and the most important thing is to ask the emperor for an order, to lead the army to pursue for thousands of miles, go straight to the Yellow Dragon, recover the mountains and rivers in one fell swoop, and welcome the return of the two emperors.
He didn't want any reward, even if it was a marquis and a prime minister? He just wanted to realize his long-standing ideals, keep the land safe, and sweep away the thieves in the world.
Unfortunately, the imperial court did not reply to these key requests word for word.
It goes without saying that this is precisely the ingenuity of the careful wording in the official newspapers.
Niu Gao's words are not unreasonable, although they are also losing troops and generals, but unlike the Jin army, the morale of the Yue family army is flourishing, and the combat power of tens of thousands of Beiwei troops is extraordinary, which is not comparable to the Jin army that has just experienced a major defeat.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Where to go, everyone is waiting for Yue Fei's answer, as long as he says a word, everyone is willing to go into battle to kill the enemy, even if the horse leather shroud is not hesitating, this is resolute, and it is also their insistence.
"Big brother, you just give a happy word, what else is there to hesitate?" Niu Gao stood up a little excitedly and asked.
Yue Yun beside him pulled his sleeve, lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Niu, father is thinking about things, you ......"
He just wanted to say, "Don't make a mess of it", but Niu Gao didn't give him this chance at all.
"Stinky boy, don't you want to avenge your Uncle Dong?"
This sentence made Yue Yun immediately choke his throat, and he couldn't say a word anymore.
Facing everyone's eyes, Yue Fei slowly raised his head, only to see that his face was still very pale, as if there was no blood, and it was only like this when he had the poison in his body that Liu Wenjing had inflicted.
Therefore, when he saw his miserable white face, even if he was as impulsive as Niu Gao, he couldn't help but close his mouth.
Yue Fei looked at everyone in front of him, looking at the same but different expressions on their faces.
They had all been born and died together, and had even been prepared for a horse leather shroud for a long time, so it was natural that they knew each other well.
He could see what was written on those faces, and he knew that the same hatred at this moment was really rare.
But...... He still hesitated......
If he hadn't hesitated a few years ago, he might have taken all the soldiers to kill the lost land in the north, and recovering the mountains and rivers was Zong Ze's original hatred, and it was also his lifelong ideal.
But after many things in the past few years, he vaguely understood a truth, that is, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military thinking on this matter was not the same, and even some people's thoughts and thoughts completely deviated from his imagination.
Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the emphasis on literature and light on military force, so that it is often subject to many small countries, the Khitans have fought with the Great Song Dynasty on the border for many years, although they also have their own victories and defeats, but most of them still end with the Great Song Dynasty signing an alliance under the city and paying compensation.
And the Jin State was even worse, after conspiring with the Song to defeat the Liao State, not only tore up the alliance, but also attacked the Song Dynasty on a large scale, plundering and taking away countless property and people.
In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin State invaded the capital
The city was opened, and the two emperors of Huizong and Qinzong were captured in the Huanglong Mansion, which was called the shame of Jingkang in history.
But so many years have passed since the first year of Jingkang, and the Great Song Dynasty's reliance on civil and military affairs has not changed much, and even Han Shizhong, who has always had outstanding military achievements, has been put on the shelf, and he no longer has any power.
Maybe not long after, after the war in the world decreases, Yue Fei will eventually face that outcome.
He smiled, and though it wasn't so bright, he was relieved.
"Count the whole army, and tomorrow morning order troops to go to battle......" His words were concise and low.
But listening to everyone's ears, it is like a beating war drum, and the beating of war drums means charging and moving forward.
Niu Gao clenched his fists tightly and looked at Yue Fei with burning eyes, his excitement was obvious.
After hesitating for a long time, Yue Fei finally made up his mind.
But what even he didn't expect was that in the middle of the night, the fast horses from Lin'an would not be peaceful all night.
......
Thirty miles to the south outside the barracks, a superb war horse was galloping on the official road, and behind it was flying dust.
Obviously, this was a six-hundred-mile rush between the Southern Song Dynasty court and the front-line army, and the soldier who delivered the message had a frosty look on his face, but he still had no intention of stopping and resting.
He carried a brocade cloth bag behind him, and the contents of it had always been military secrets.
And his destination was the military camp of the Yue family army that had just won a battle, and unlike the previous official report, this time he brought a gold medal in addition to the holy decree.
It seems that even he himself did not know what was written in the decree.
What he didn't know was that this holy decree had just begun, and in the next two days, there would be countless teams of people delivering the decree on this official road connecting the north and south, and it seemed that the flying dust behind him had not completely fallen, and it was trampled into the vast expanse by the galloping horses' hooves again.
In the end, the soldiers' feelings of hatred and hatred were shattered by the arrival of this first holy decree.
The herald who came all the way from the imperial court stepped into the barracks of the Yue family's army, or the previous experience of transmitting decrees abroad made him unconsciously a little arrogant, but after seeing the Yue's army's neat attire and extremely serious discipline, he had to maintain a heartfelt awe.
He held the imperial gold medal, Yue Fei had to lead all the high-ranking generals to kneel on the ground to receive the order, after the mountain shouted long live, the herald carefully untied the burden behind him, and took out the backpack containing the holy decree.
The Divine Decree has always been made of a very special kind of silk cloth, which cannot be found in any ordinary store, and anyone who uses such fabrics and grades easily is guilty of murder.
The voice of the "proclaimer" proclamator was very long, as if waiting for the performers to applaud.
"Chen Yue Fei Greets St. Ann"
"I Wenqing defeated Jin Wushu, Kefu County, I am overjoyed, but the poor Kou Mo chases, I am also worried about the former army soldiers, Yue Qing led the army to immediately shift the division, Qing can enter Beijing to see the court, and continue the friendship of the monarch and the minister!"
After the decree was announced, all the generals were angry, only Yue Fei was stunned, and the herald coughed lightly and said, "General Yue, let's take the will first!"
Yue Fei came to his senses at this time, and bowed again after receiving the order.
Seeing that the herald, who had not even rested for a moment, gradually removed from the camp gate, Yue Fei couldn't help but feel cold in his heart and closed his eyes tightly.
......
