Following Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan's pursuit, they took in many scattered Wei troops along the way. After hearing the news, these Wei troops who were hiding ran out to join Zhao Junsheng's team. More than a thousand people.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan did not expect to be able to accommodate so many scattered Wei troops after they were killed. According to statistics, a total of more than 760 people were accommodated, from the teams of Tuobaqiu, Tuobaqi, and Yuanhe. These people were worried about being chased and killed by the Yan army, so they all hid.

"Bai Jinguang, I ordered you to be the general commanding the troops of more than 5000 people. Put them into a simple formation, and then reorganize and practice again after returning to Youzhou!" Zhao Junsheng issued an order to Bai Jinguang. More than 700 cavalry came, and he took them as a matter of course under his command.

The more than 700 cavalrymen of the Wei army lost their chief generals and their formations were wiped out. They all became stragglers and did not resist Zhao Junsheng's reorganization. In fact, they could not resist and could only obey orders.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan led troops to chase Guo Sheng's remnants and defeated generals. They passed Shicheng along the way and did not stop. The Yan army outside Shicheng was also taken away by Guo Sheng. When the army arrived outside Longcheng, the Yan army had just entered the city and was almost overtaken.

Zhao Junsheng reined in his horse and stopped, looking up at the west tower of Longcheng. The Yan troops on the city wall all looked tense, as if facing a big enemy, Feng Hongshou

He was even more frightened to death when he heard the news.

Hua Mulan stepped forward and asked, "Brother Junsheng, give the baggage camp two days to recover the discarded baggage and belongings along the way, and load them into trucks to transport them away. Is that enough time?"

"enough!"

Hua Mulan gave an order to a nearby soldier: "Go and tell Wei Ang that his baggage battalion has two days to collect all the discarded baggage along the way and load them away!"'

The soldiers took orders and left.

Afterwards, Hua Mulan ordered the whole army to move into the camp that was left before. The ready-made camp could just live in it. The Yan army didn't have time to tear it down these few days, which just saved Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan a lot of trouble.

The generals of the Yan army on the top of the city saw that the Wei army had entered the camp outside the city again, thinking that the Wei army would continue to attack the city again, and all of them were worried.

For two days in a row, the Yan army in Longcheng City did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they all raised their vigilance to prevent the Wei army from sneaking in.

Inside the palace.

Feng Hong looked at Guo Sheng kneeling on the ground, and was so angry that he really wanted to order Guo Sheng to be dragged down and beheaded, but seeing Guo Sheng's miserable face, he couldn't bear it, and Guo Sheng was already the only remaining general of the Yan Kingdom Well, the other generals are either lacking in talent, lacking in prestige, or young enough to take on great responsibilities. Only this Guo Sheng still has some ability and prestige.

"Forget it, I can't blame you for this matter. Anyway, you saved more than [-] people for me. Although the loss was not small, it also severely damaged the Wei army. At least they will not be able to attack my country of Yan within three to five years. You are still in charge of the defense of the city wall, don’t make trouble for the widow, the country of Yan can’t stand it anymore, understand?”

Guo Sheng seemed to be pardoned, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you for the grace of the king of innocence. I will spare no effort to defend Dragon City, and never let Wei Jun stare at the city wall!"

At this moment, a soldier quickly walked in and reported: "Report to the Heavenly King and Commander, the Wei army has withdrawn!"

Feng Hong and Guo Sheng looked at each other when they heard the words, Feng Hong immediately asked: "Really withdraw the troops?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, they swaggered away!"

Feng Hongsheng was suspicious, so he looked at Guo Sheng and asked, "Is Wei Jun playing some kind of trick?"

Guo Sheng was beaten back by Zhao Junsheng's carbine and returned in a disastrous defeat. He was afraid of him and dared not underestimate the enemy, so he said to Feng Hong: "Heavenly King, I think it is better to be more cautious. It is better to send scouts out of the city first. Check it out!"

Feng Hong was also afraid of being beaten, and immediately agreed: "Okay, you can arrange this matter, and report immediately if you have news!"

Chapter 547 The rain is coming

There was no news of Yan Jun's scouts for two days, which made Guo Sheng and Feng Hong very anxious. Guo Sheng had to send another team of scouts to scout Wei Jun's movements. 16595

It wasn't until this time that the second team of scouts found the bodies of the first team of scouts ten miles west of Longcheng. They were all shot and killed by the arrows of the Wei army, and everyone was shot into a hedgehog.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan had already arrived in White Wolf City with a large group of people.

The Eastern Expedition took two and a half months, and the Northern Wei Dynasty suffered heavy losses. The emperor, a highly respected clan prince, a duke, and a dozen ministers accompanying the army, and nearly one hundred thousand troops from the Eastern Expedition, were killed. In the end, only the More than 2 people, including Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan brought back 1 people, and Lai Daqian brought back 1 people.

Almost all armies suffered huge losses, only Zhao Junsheng's Youzhou Army suffered the smallest loss, and even Hua Mulan's right-wing army had less than 1 of its 2000 troops in the end.

The court of the Northern Wei Dynasty suffered huge losses, but it made Zhao Junsheng fat. Zhao Junsheng obtained all the property, luggage and population captured and looted by the various armies in the previous attack on Yan State. This is the property of the entire Yan State.In addition, there were [-] households taken away by Zhao Junsheng, and he planned to disperse these people in various places in Youzhou.

On the ninth day of October, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan led their troops to Pinggang, where they joined Lai Daqian.

The prefect's mansion of Hiraoka Castle.

A lantern was hung on the wall to brightly illuminate the lobby. There were only Zhao Junsheng, Lai Daqian, and Hua Mulan in the lobby. All three of them were wearing ordinary clothes and kneeling behind a short table with wine and meat.

After this period of time, Lai Daqian's views on Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan have changed a lot. He picked up the wine cup and said to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan; We have served the two of you, if the two generals hadn't broken the rear and severely injured the pursuers, we might not have been able to get here, and we would not have been able to protect the coffins of His Majesty and the ministers accompanying the army, I respect you both!"

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan picked up their wine cups and saluted: "You are welcome, General, we are all serving our country, regardless of each other, please!"

The three drank a cup, and Zhao Junsheng said while pouring wine: "General, now that we have arrived in Pinggang, it should be said that it is generally safe. The Yan State neither dares to send troops to pursue it, nor has the strength to pursue it. I have given the guard of Shicheng Li Chong ordered him to be appointed as the prefect of Jiande, and asked him to move to White Wolf City with officials, soldiers and civilians, and to abandon Stone City! Stone City is too close to Dragon City, and Yan Kingdom will not allow us to occupy it for a long time, and retreat to White Wolf City It should be better, with White Wolf City and Yilian City in front, Yan Kingdom will not pose much threat to Youzhou!"

"Now we can go on our way with peace of mind. There are two roads back to Pingcheng where horses and chariots can pass: the first one is to go westward and enter Youzhou through Beigukou, pass through Youzhou and then go to Sizhou; the second road , that is, go westward all the way outside the mouth, cross the Great Wall pass from Chicheng, enter the pass, and then go to Pingcheng, I wonder which way the general plans to take?"

Lai Daqian said: "The road to Youzhou is much longer, and the road conditions are not as good as the second road. I plan to take the second road back to Pingcheng! I know that Zhao Junsheng is going back to Youzhou, but I don't know which way General Hua will take. road?"

Hua Mulan looked at Zhao Junsheng, and said to Lai Daqian: "The coffins of the emperor and the ministers accompanying the army are guarded by generals and more than 1 soldiers, and the marching route is within the outer Great Wall. Presumably there will be no unsightly people to invade. So I plan to lead the army to Youzhou first with Zhao Junsheng, and return to Pingcheng after a short rest!"

Lai Daqian nodded: "That's fine, but I don't know what's going on in Pingcheng. I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm!"

Pingcheng, late at night, Zongai's outer residence. ---- Fast update, no anti-theft ---

"Superintendent, there is an urgent report from Youzhou. He is waiting for your interview in the courtyard. He said that the news must be reported to you in person." Eunuch Jia Zhou quickly walked into the Buddhist hall to report to Zongai who was chanting sutras.

Hearing this, Zong Ai opened his eyes, with a flash of light in his eyes, and knocked on his hand

The sound of the wooden fish stopped, and he slowly got up and turned around and ordered: "Go and let him in!"

Jia Zhou bowed, turned around and walked to the door, and waved to the man in black standing in the yard. The man in black had a sword hanging on his waist, walked to the entrance of the Buddhist hall, untied the sword and handed it to Jia Zhou, and then walked into the Buddhist hall Inside.

"The villain Fuying has met the supervisor!"

Zong Ai asked: "What happened to the Eastern Expeditionary Army?"

Fuying said: "Zhao Shijun sent someone to tell his subordinates that when the army was besieging Longcheng, Zhu Xiuzhi, the general of Yunzhong Town, suddenly rebelled and raided the palace at night. His Majesty and the ministers accompanying the army were slaughtered. news, but the villain believes that there will be news soon!"

Zong Ai couldn't help trembling when he heard the news, he finally got the news, Zhu Xiuzhi really lived up to his expectations.

Remember when Zhu Xiuzhi agreed to surrender after being captured, Zong Ai followed Tuoba Fitness at that time. He found that Zhu Xiuzhi did not really surrender, so he secretly tested Zhu Xiuzhi and formed an alliance with him, and both sides took what they needed.

For the next few years, Zhu Xiuzhi has been in dormancy until this year when the emperor wanted to conquer the Yan Kingdom. Zong Ai took the opportunity to propose to the emperor to send Zhu Xiuzhi to lead the Yunzhong Army with the army, so as to test Zhu Xiuzhi's loyalty. The emperor heard that , I felt that Zong Ai's proposal was very reasonable, so I ordered Zhu Xiuzhi to take Yun Zhongjun with me. All of this was planned by the two of them.

Zhu Xiuzhi succeeded, Zong Ai also achieved his goal, and now he can finally show his strength.

"Come here, change clothes, prepare the car!"

In less than a cup of tea, Zong Ai got into the carriage, and the carriage disappeared into the street under the protection of some guards.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the camp of the Left Guards.

"Who is coming, the left guard barracks is an important place, the idlers wait to stop!" A tooth master outside the barracks shouted, holding a knife handle in his hand.

The carriage stopped, and Jia Zhou jumped out of the carriage and went forward to hand over the famous badge: "Please inform General Wan, please tell me that Eunuch Cao Jianzong is asking to see you!"

That's right, the current General of the Left Guard is Wan Dugui.

Lord Ya handed the famous stab to a soldier and told him to report to Wan Dugui. Not long after, the soldier returned with Wan Dugui's order to open the gate of the camp and let the carriage enter.
