Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Chapter 63 Returning to Hometown Without Success

Here Liu Yanqing was defeated and saw Xiao Qian retreating, so he gathered the remaining troops and counted the losses.Not long after, the battalions came to report that there were only less than 30 soldiers left in the [-]-strong army, and their morale was low, and everyone wanted to retreat.As for the food and baggage, countless items were discarded, and now only five days of rations are left in the camp.Another spy came to report that Xiao Qian's army had taken Zhuo and Yizhou and had retreated to defend it. The so-called [-]-strong army was just a false claim.

After hearing the message, Liu Yanjun sighed and regretted that he had not thought about it that day. At this time, the Jin soldiers in the east were beating the Liao army back steadily. Where could the 30 troops come to help?Now that the big mistake had been made, it was unwise to think about attacking again, and the Liao army was unable to invade south, so they ordered to withdraw from camp and retreat to Xiongzhou.

When he came to the city, Liu Yanqing met with Tong Guan and elaborated on the defeat. However, he believed that he believed in wrong information and did not want to make any progress before the battle. He only concealed the incident of fleeing. He only said that the Liao cavalry was unstoppable and that all the troops could not stop it. The army resisted desperately, but Fang left more than [-] people to retreat to Xiongzhou.

After hearing what he said, Tong Guan didn't distinguish between the truth and the lies, so he had to comfort him. He himself went to the court to tell the truth about the failure of the Northern Expedition.

A few days later, news of the Northern Expedition's defeat came back to the court, and Emperor Huizong Long Yan was shocked.He originally thought that the Northern Expedition was a sure success and that capturing Yanyun would be as easy as picking out a bag. However, he did not expect that the centipede of the Liao Kingdom would not die, even if the remaining troops still had such fighting strength, so he ordered Tong Guan to leave [-] troops to defend Xiongzhou. , discussed with the Jin Kingdom the matter of jointly attacking Yanjing.The remaining ministries were still returned to the state capital.At the same time, Liu Yanqing's inability to unite the army led to a great defeat, and he was demoted to Junzhou and resettled. Liu Guangshi's rescue was delayed, and when Yanjing was gained and lost, he was demoted to three levels, but still led the troops of Xiangzhou.Pharmacist Guo made great contributions to the city and was promoted to Anyuan Army's Propaganda Envoy.

A few days later, when the edict was issued, all armies were ordered to disperse back to their respective territories. Liu Guangshi also took the remaining [-] people of his army to Xiangzhou.On the way, Liu Guangshi looked at Yue Fei beside him and said: "This time I sent troops to the north, I thought that the land of Yanyun could be easily taken. If you come with me, you can also take the opportunity to get some military merits as a career capital." . But I didn’t want to be defeated in this situation, and even I would be demoted. Fortunately, all the uncles in the court spoke to me, and they allowed me to continue to command Xiangzhou’s troops for later use. I just made your escape this time in vain."

Yue Fei leaned on his horse and said: "My lord, I will always keep your kindness in my heart. Things are unpredictable, so how can I live up to my expectations? This time I followed my lord in the Northern Expedition. I have gained nothing. I can experience such battles and meet thousands of people." Horses fighting each other have gained a lot of experience. And they have gained a lot by testing their elite soldiers in the chaos. Therefore, sir, don’t worry about the end of the general. After returning to Xiangzhou, the end of the general will still be there. If you serve under your command for a long time, you will definitely have good opportunities."

Liu Guangshi nodded and said: "What you said is true. During this battle, I saw that all of your thousand-man team were brave and not in trouble in the face of danger, which is excellent. After returning to Xiangzhou, I will allocate elite troops to fight for you." I will replenish a thousand men and still teach you a lesson, waiting for the opportunity to fight."

Yue Fei said: "Thank you, sir. I will definitely live up to your trust."

The army returned to Xiangzhou all the way. Naturally, someone came to count the soldiers killed and wounded in the battle, and distributed pensions as usual. When everything was arranged, the Yue Fei brothers said goodbye to Liu Guangshi and went to Tang Yin's home.

As soon as the brothers returned to Yuejiazhuang, they already alarmed everyone, and everyone went out to greet their children.Wang Ming was about to ask about the situation of the battle, but when he saw the serious expressions on his brothers' faces, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

That night the Wang family held a grand banquet to welcome Yue Fei and his brothers.During the dinner, Wang Ming asked Yue Fei cautiously: "Pengju, how is the situation of this military expedition? Why are all your brothers so depressed?"

Yue Fei sighed and was about to speak when Niu Gao, who was standing beside him, slammed his wine glass on the table and said angrily: "How can a group of mediocre people command a war and win? If it were the eldest brother, this battle would definitely be successful." Then he will He raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and then said: "That's the master of the capital. If we hadn't fought to the death to protect him, I'm afraid the Liao army wouldn't have enough heads to chop him off!"

Yue Fei glared at him, and Niu Gao stopped talking and just drank.Yue Fei said to everyone: "This defeat cannot be entirely blamed on the leaders. You have also seen that the soldiers are all lazy and have no fighting spirit. They were frightened when they heard that the Liao army was attacking. Courage. It is good for such soldiers and generals to be able to exert [-] to [-]% of their [-]% combat power. Even if these soldiers and generals are used to attack Liao with me, it may not be a defeat. Therefore, you guys must not mention this matter again. If If someone with a serious heart listens to it, it will inevitably be charged with making irresponsible remarks about government affairs."

Shi Quan echoed from the side: "What the eldest brother is saying is that now we and others are very quiet. We should only do our duty and follow the instructions of the eldest brother. Of course, the officials will worry about other things."

Wang Ming also said at the side: "My nephews, there is no need to worry about it. Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. It is your first time to fight on the battlefield. It will be great if you can escape unscathed. Come on, come on, my nephews and I Let’s drink this cup together!”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, and the atmosphere at the table relaxed slightly.In the drinking room, Tang Huai suddenly burst into tears while drinking. Wang Gui on the side looked angry and cursed: "If you drink, drink, what are you doing crying for no reason? It's really disappointing!"

Tang Huai didn't talk back, but just shed tears silently. Wang Gui felt unhappy, so he pushed him and said, "What can't you explain? Who can show you how you behave like a woman here?"

At this time, Tang Huai just raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "I can only drink here if I have to survive this battle, but [-]% of the hundreds of brothers under me have gone. Thinking of the battle that day, I watched them with my own eyes One by one, they fell under the sword of the Liao soldiers, but they still fought to the death, so they felt uncomfortable in their hearts."

When Tang Huai said this, the brothers immediately fell silent. Each of the brothers in that thousand-man team was in charge of a hundred people. They had been getting along day and night for more than two years, and they naturally had a very close friendship.In this defeat, this thousand-man team fought tooth and nail to protect Liu Guangshi and held off the pursuers when they came. Fortunately, Yue Fei taught him a strict lesson. Although there were casualties, compared to the larger army, they only suffered [-]-[-]% losses out of [-]%. , already considered extremely outstanding.

Yue Fei looked at everyone's silence, sighed, raised his glass and stood up and said: "The war is fierce and dangerous, and some injuries are inevitable. However, since we join the army, we must be prepared to sacrifice our lives for the country. All brothers and I are the same." So. In this battle, all my brothers fought bravely, shed their blood, and died well. They are all worthy of the teachings of the brothers in the past two years. I will use today's wine to toast the brothers who died in the battle, and hope that their heroic souls will return to their hometowns soon!"

After hearing this, the other brothers also filled their wine glasses, stood behind Yue Fei, and spilled the wine in their hands on the ground to honor the souls of the fallen soldiers.

After everyone sat down, Niu Gao and others felt depressed, so they changed their cups to larger bowls and just poured the wine into their bellies.Yue Fei knew that they were drinking to drown their sorrows, so he did not persuade them, but just drank in silence and meditated.

Yue Fei was born in a peaceful era in his previous life, where did he experience such a tragic battle?When the Song army was defeated, they threatened each other and shouted loudly while standing among the thousands of troops, but their voices had long been drowned in the cries.At that time, facing the Song army that was fleeing like an avalanche, he felt that he was alone. At that moment, he even began to doubt whether his choice was correct. In such a decadent Song Dynasty, how could he turn things around and change himself? fate?A thought flashed across my mind, how about escaping from this world?With his own skills, he is enough to protect himself in this troubled world.

But as soon as this idea appeared, he was rejected. Since he has become Yue Fei in this life, he cannot change his destiny, and he must not lose the face of this national hero. Moreover, the country will be destroyed, the family will be destroyed, and the country will be destroyed. How can you be alone?

Just like this, Yue Fei thought while drinking, not knowing what others said, until he was drunk.

"The entire second volume will be relatively boring to write. Even I felt very unhappy when I wrote it. But this is the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. The emperor was so happy about his success, the generals only pursued personal gain, and the soldiers were greedy for life and fear of death. Just imagine how such a team can fight Winning the battle? It is not easy for famous generals such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Liu Qi to emerge in such a big environment. The big defeats in the early stage can also highlight the big wins in the later stage, so please be patient and read on. I would like to thank you all here. support!"
