Royal Road

"We only lost more than 3,000 soldiers in the battle of Youbing. Thanks to General Yi's conspiracy!" The latest report was also sent to the Shangdang. Duan Qin could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Not counting the injuries, there were only more than 3,000 people killed in the battle, and nearly 1,000 of them were soldiers defending the damaged Wubao. This number is even slighter than the number of deaths during the fight against the Huns. It is extremely rare for a battle of this scale. In addition to the defensive advantage brought by the strong walls and clear fields, there was also the shocking attack by Yi Yan. In fact, most of this battle was resolved in the rear. If this is not the case, the loss will be at least several times higher.

Liang Feng didn't say anything, just said: "The pension must be properly arranged. What about the loss of property?"

"Lost a Wubao, 26 water turrets, and many acres and ditches were completely destroyed. Leping may be greatly affected this fall." Duan Qin did not dare to conceal it, and said according to the facts.

The Youzhou Army raged in Leping territory for a whole month, unable to attack the big city, and had no mercy on Wubao and the field facilities. Fortunately, the summer harvest in the territory has ended, otherwise I don't know what it will look like. But even so, the autumn harvest cannot be counted on. The complete destruction of water conservancy facilities requires a lot of manpower and material resources to repair. In addition, the amount of food and weapons used for war is an astronomical figure. But again, compared to the consequences of defeat, this loss is insignificant.

"Reward the three armies, reduce or exempt Leping's taxes, and allocate funds for the reconstruction of water conservancy." Liang Feng paused, "and Wen Taizhen, after the army is closed, please transfer back to Jinyang."

This time, Wen Qiao did a great job as the chief official of Leping. All the logistics are handled by him, and he is capable of doing everything, and he is not like a young man who is not full of a weak crown. It was originally scheduled to be transferred back to Wen Qiao and given the important task. Now he has proven his talents with actions, and it would be a waste to shelve Leping aside.

Duan Qin nodded: "There is also Zhongshan County. The news just came that the county government has been restored. The ancestors have made great contributions."

The sudden change in Zhongshan County was really unexpected. I don't know how to use it, Zu Ti actually moved the Liu clan in Zhongshan, and joined him in raising troops to assist the Changshan defenders in taking down Zhongshan. It will be a matter of time before other counties and counties in Jizhou are taken, but if someone helps, it saves a lot of trouble.

And Zu Ti's move also showed his attitude. Liang Feng's previous kind respects were not in vain. The post of Changshi is already firmly established.

"Send someone to ask the ancestor to take a long history, and the family affairs should also be arranged carefully. When Jizhou returns, you can also visit Fanyang." How can Liang Feng remain indifferent to Zuti's attitude? This is obviously to entrust the net worth, and of course it must be treated seriously.

And what was unexpected was Zu Ti's ability to act, but he easily moved the Liu Clan in Zhongshan and several other great families. Liang Feng only remembered that this person was famous, but Zu Ti didn't seem to have fought any well-known battles, just sticking to Jiangbei. It seems that his strengths are not in the battlefield, but in strategy. But this is better. In the troubled times, there are many hills. Being able to persuade people to surrender and having a high degree of strategic insight is more useful than pure warfare.

"This is what it should be. As well as Na Xi Jian, it seems that he also has an intention. Only when the lord takes Jizhou, the talented people will naturally be everywhere." Duan Qin showed a smile on his face.

This is the advantage of overcoming the battle of Yunomiya. As long as the status is reached, the talents who were not invited or invited will also be reconsidered and move closer to Binzhou. In this way, it is of great benefit to the master's hegemony.

There was not much smile on Liang Feng's face: "After this matter can be tolerated, wait for Bo Yuan to return."

Duan Qin immediately lost his voice. He actually guessed the reason why the lord came to join the party. A hero like General Yi must definitely be rewarded. However, how many people can survive by attacking Wang Jun and chaosing this city with only two thousand men and horses? The north of Jizhou is mostly occupied by Youzhou soldiers and horses. Just crossing this blockade is extremely difficult. Alas, such loyal ministers and good generals, he also hopes to return safely.

Bowing to give a salute, Duan Qin said: "Yecheng has increased troops, always pay attention to what is going on in Jizhou. General Yi can do this great work, he has the help of heaven, so don't worry about the lord."

Don't worry? Liang Feng felt that he had waited too long. It's too long to bear. It's been more than ten days, when will the person return?

※

A desperate and exhausted team crossed the border of Jizhou and entered Sizhou. After running for ten days, there are hundreds of horses running to death, and the rest is not enough to carry the knight every day. Most people got off their horses and moved forward on their legs. Only the seriously ill and injured riders take turns to conserve their energy.

This march slowed down the team's speed. But fortunately, the counties that have been out of the control of Youzhou, the roads are familiar, and changing to day and night can reduce the possibility of encountering the enemy. There were fewer battles, but there were still severely wounded people who stopped breathing on horseback. There is no expression on everyone's face. There is no pride of victory, no joy of escape, only numbness. Enduring pain, hunger, and exhaustion numbly, he moved towards the distant goal.

When such a tired teacher crossed Guangping, someone greeted him.

"General!" A squad of horses galloped forward and jumped on the back of the leader. With tears in his eyes, he knelt to the ground with a puff.

When Yi Yan saw the incoming person, his eyes widened: "Why did you get to Sizhou? How is the military situation in Bingzhou?"

"We have won! A big victory! The lord ordered me to wait to meet the general, and finally found you!" It was Wang Long who came here, and only Tiger Wolf Camp was capable of such a sentry mission.

But no matter how prepared, seeing such a remnant army still made Wang Long cry. This is his robe, the brother who walked out of the Liang Mansion with him! Only more than 600 left! It actually lost most of it!

Hearing the news of the victory, Yi Yan's figure shook, only to feel that the tight rope in his chest loosened a little. They solved the siege of Bingzhou with only two thousand Qingqi! This battle is worth it!

Wang Long didn't have that much thought. Seeing Yi Yan standing unsteadily, he jumped up and held his arm: "General, go back to Yecheng first! Many more soldiers have been sent to the city, absolutely safe!"

Yi Yan knew that the team behind him was at the end of the battle. Cultivation and treatment a day earlier, you can get a lot of life back. Nodding, he asked: "Where is the lord?"

"The lord moved to the town party and is also waiting for the general to return..." Wang Long didn't finish speaking, but felt his arm tightened. The blood-stained and scarred hand gripped his arm severely.

"The lord is waiting for me in the Shangdang party?" The flames in Yi Yan's heart burned up, "Give me a horse, I want to go to the party!"

"General!" I don't know how many people yelled out, and Liu Gong was even more anxious behind him: "General, you have been injured a lot, so let's take a break and go on your way!"

"Give me a horse!" In Yi Yan's voice, there was no room for rebuttal.

Wang Long was a little stunned, and he was silly for a while before saying: "But General, you hurt..."

He couldn't find any part of his armor intact. We have arrived in Yecheng, so why bother? But the fiery blaze in that person's eyes, even Wang Long couldn't hold it. Helpless, he had to say: "I will accompany the general back to the party!"

"I want to go back to the party!" "I will follow the general at the end!"

Many people behind him shouted. Although the battle was fierce, but Yiyan, the main general, would always stand behind them, not knowing how many lives had been saved. Now it's back to the party, back to their hometown, who can not be excited?

However, Yi Yan ignored it and turned on his horse back: "You go to Yecheng first and rest on the spot for two days. The doctor will let you go, and then go back to the party."

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for others to follow, and urged the horse to move forward. Wang Long was also anxious immediately, and grabbed Liu Gong and exhorted him: "Hurry up and take the brothers into the city to heal. I will go back with the general first."

After speaking, he led Bai Lai to ride behind Yi Yan and went straight to Fukouxing.

Hurry up here. Over there, the news took a step forward and was sent to Lucheng.

"Find them?" Liang Feng stood up abruptly, disregarding his manners, and asked loudly.

"I found it! There are more than six hundred and seventy riders!" The messenger flushed with excitement, "General Yi didn't stay in Yecheng, he rushed to the party..."

Before he finished speaking, Liang Feng had already stepped towards the door. Duan Qin hurriedly chased out in surprise: "Lord?"

"I'll pick him up at the pass!" Liang Feng's footsteps have never been so fast, and there is almost a wind.

"But General Yi doesn't know when he will arrive..." Even if there is no threat from the enemy, can the identity of the lord come out casually? Don't say it's a welcoming party, but now that I have arrived at the Shangdang party, I'm a little out of line. If something happens, who can afford it?

Liang Feng stopped abruptly and turned to look at Duan Qin: "Six hundred people! Two thousand elite, only six hundred are left. Can Yiyan be injured?! He has to rush to Lucheng? No, it should be me. Pick him up!"

There seemed to be thunder in the voice, and there was no lack of pain. A pair of black and bright eyes, even more like a spear and a sword, did not give in. Duan Qin dumbed his throat and couldn't say a word. Liang Feng ignored him, and continued to step forward. As he walked, he said loudly: "Go and find all the best doctors in Lucheng, as well as military doctors, let me go to Hukouguan!"

Who can fight such a decision? It only took a moment for a guard to be assembled. Without a guard of honor at all, or even riding a car, Liang Feng rode his horse like this and led people to Hukouguan.

After all, Fukouxing had to walk a bit easier, and Bailaiqi could also run. Wang Long was riding on the horse, and kept persuading, "General, you can take a rest when you reach the Hukou Pass. If you drive like this, your body will be overwhelmed. Moreover, it's getting dark, and the road is so difficult to walk. Then go to Lucheng. Don’t want tomorrow, why is it so hasty?"

He really couldn't see it. This man came all the way from Sizhou, almost non-stop. Let alone rest, I can't wait to hurry up at night. It only took less than two days to get to Hukou Pass, which was almost the same as the Yi Chuan. He and his soldiers can barely hold on, and the general who has driven the road for ten years, how can he still have such physical strength? Don't go back to the county house and fall down first, he can't see this!

However, Yi Yan didn't care about it, and still insisted on going his own way, and drove towards the closer and closer goal. After all, Hukou Pass is a pass, and it can be considered majestic. Seeing that the castle tower was in front, Wang Long wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly found something wrong with the castle. Inside and outside the pass, there were twice as many defenders. what's going on?

Before he could speak, Yi Yan jumped off his horse. His movements didn't seem to be dismounting, but like a fall. Wang Long hurriedly dismounted, trying to help, but Yi Yan threw off his arm and stumbled towards Guan.

Only then did Wang Long realize that a very familiar figure was standing behind the door. Even the military uniform Wu Bian can't suppress the grace and grace at all. Is that, Lord?

Yi Yan couldn't hear any sound anymore, just staring at the person in front of him blankly, step by step. His body began to tremble, and his hands could not stop shaking. Is this an illusion of over-missing? Or is he finally going to sleep forever, before he is dying, to be rewarded by heaven?

However, the figure did not disappear, he moved, greeted him with trembling anxiety and tension.

"Bo Yuan..."

Hearing the call, Yi Yan's knees softened and fell to the ground. He should salute, he should ask the person for credit and tell him how brilliant and difficult this victory is.

But he couldn't say a word. With two mouths open, Yi Yan shook his body and collapsed to the ground.

"Bo Yuan!"
