As the saying goes, those who follow good people and learn from others, follow their masters to dance to false gods, and follow Ji Shan, a living treasure, are not honest children. When they saw that Wang Yue acquiesced to his captain's actions, they all started shouting along with him. .
Not to mention, this method is really effective. Wang Yue responded to more than a thousand troops along the way, but he did not encounter any kind of counterattack. I think the rebels were also very angry. King Yong is old now, but his family records are all gone. In the hands of these soldiers and horses, they were loyal to King Yong. Of course, they were afraid that King Yong would die. They yelled at Wang Yue's soldiers and horses, but they did not dare to fire any more cold arrows.
With Ji Shan's rogue tricks, Wang Yue gathered his troops very smoothly, so he was not in a hurry. He was still in the mood to arrange for people to gather the wounded. Even the young lady of the He family, who was preparing to die, was surprised by this. Escaped.
Relying on Ji Shan's rogue tricks, Wang Yue accidentally saved General He when he exited Feng Zicheng. At this time, General He was covered with injuries, and none of his five adult sons were missing. Look at the old man's appearance. With a sad expression, it seemed like there was no chance of him surviving.
Because of the hostage behind, although Wang Yue easily rescued his troops, the experienced King Yong also took the opportunity to rectify his troops, and soon confronted Wang Yue at the east city gate.
Wang Yue glanced at the Cavalry General He Yong. He was already on the verge of collapse. Knowing that he could only take action on his own, he asked the captain of the He family who had followed him earlier to place General He in place. Then he looked at the confronting King Yong leisurely. He said in a cold voice, "King Yong, if you surrender now, maybe there will be a whole corpse."
King Yong glanced at Prince Xiao who had passed out due to excessive blood loss and was held in Wang Yue's hand, and said coldly, "Young boy from the Wang family, you dare to ruin my important affairs. The generals of chariots and cavalry cannot protect you. I will cut you into pieces!"
Wang Yue wanted to say that his uncle Wang Chun had no control over him at all, but he felt that it would be too low to argue with this crazy person. He just tried to persuade him to surrender as a routine, lest the boring people in the court would say What? Since the other party didn't agree, of course he didn't hesitate. He waved his hand casually and asked his men to retreat one after another. Together with Ji Shan, he pressed the Xiao family's family papers and slowly exited the city.
King Yong's housekeeper was caught in Wang Yue's hands. He didn't think of any good solution for a while, so he led his army to slowly follow Wang Yue's soldiers and horses, just to ensure that Wang Yue's soldiers and horses would not get out of sight.
Because they had brought many wounded and family documents with them, Wang Yue's troops actually did not move very fast. They safely exited Fengzhen City and slowly retreated towards Tongguan. There were many tributaries of the Weishui River here, so it was not easy for his cavalry to deploy. Yue knew it in his heart, and so did King Yong.
In order to prevent King Yong from releasing water while he was crossing the river, Wang Yue deliberately walked even slower, and walked like this for most of the day. When it was dark, he received the news sent by Monsoon, and then he broke camp overnight. Cross the river towards a shallow section of the Wei River.
The location of Wang Yuedu River was chosen cleverly. There are three tributaries in the upper reaches of this short river. It would be more troublesome to cross the river from here if it is flooded.
Of course, King Yong had already made a plan during the pursuit. He chose to cut off the tributary with the largest amount of water near Feng Zicheng, and then released the water when Wang Yue passed by, flooding the seven armies.
Seeing that Wang Yue had abandoned camp overnight, he immediately notified the upper reaches to release water, and sent people to prepare boats downstream. He planned to use the flood to wash away Wang Yue's cavalry, betting that some of his sons would be washed away and rescued, which would be better than being rescued. Wang Yue has been escorted to Tongguan.
What King Yong didn't expect was that after the cronies who sent the order set off, he could also hear the rushing river in the distance. But when Wang Yue's more than 4,000 cavalry slowly crossed the river, although the water became a bit turbulent, it was still deep. Just above the knee, it was not enough to overwhelm Wang Yue's army.
King Yong cursed secretly. He felt that there must be insufficient water at this time of year, so Wang Yue's army passed safely, so he stopped caring about it and was ready to kill him, regardless of whether the family was alive or dead.
With King Yong's order, the rebels quickly accelerated their march. The generals under King Yong quickly caught up with them with their troops and horses. However, just as his tens of thousands of troops were halfway across the river, they were overwhelmed by the roaring army. The water cut into two sections. Except for those who were washed away, the tens of thousands of troops became extremely panicked. It is not an exaggeration to say that they abandoned their helmets and armor.
At this time, Wang Yue immediately killed a carbine, leaving a few soldiers and horses to watch the He and Xiao families not to fight each other, and rushed back with less than 3,000 cavalry, with Wang Yue in front. , just a meeting, King Yong became a prisoner in Wang Yue's hands.
When King Yong's cronies discovered that King Yong had been captured, they immediately became crazy, making Wang Yue's cavalry charge with great difficulty, and their horses gradually slowed down.
At this critical moment, Ji Feng Jiyu rushed over with his infantry, which not only alleviated the trouble of Wang Yue's cavalry, but also greatly reduced the morale of the rebels. Mainly, no one knew how many reinforcements Wang Yue had.
...
After the battle, Wang Yue gathered his troops and escorted the troops to Feng Zhen County again. This once prosperous city was now in a mess.
In the He family's house, Wang Yue and others dealt with military matters, and then asked Ji Fengdao, who had followed him in, "Didn't we ask you to cross the river to support us? With you joining us, although we have a small number of troops, we will definitely win. Why?" Do you have to attack half-heartedly?"
Ji Feng glanced at Cheng Shaoshang awkwardly and said nothing. This matter was not his idea, but after hearing it, he thought it was pretty good and agreed with it.
Seeing Ji Feng's embarrassment, Cheng Shaoshang quickly explained, "We received news of the He family asking for help at Hangu Pass. General Ji Feng Jiyu left three thousand infantrymen and set off immediately. Wang Ling and I were free Feeling bored, when studying the map of Lou Niu, I found that there were three tributaries upstream of the ferry crossing the river. I felt that if the war went wrong, the river near Feng Zhen might be used by others. So I took 3,000 soldiers to attack the two rivers. Dams were built on every tributary, and then someone was sent to notify General Monsoon."
Wang Yue nodded. He felt that if it was a temporary idea, it would not be possible to build the dike so quickly. Unexpectedly, there would be such twists and turns, so he continued to ask Cheng Shaoshang, "You are good at building dikes. Crossing and attacking is not your domain."
Cheng Shaoshang said with some embarrassment, "Sister Wang thinks that since Ah Yue is sure to defeat the enemy, it doesn't matter where you fight. Fighting on this side of the river can prevent King Yong from escaping, so why not flood the three armies first?" Fighting with half-crossing can also reduce some of your pressure."
Wang Yue glanced at the two girls in surprise. It was not that he hadn't thought of these methods, but he didn't have time to arrange them carefully, so he thought it would be better to play it safe and just do it head-on.
Wang Yue didn't expect that these two little girls would have such insight. It seemed that his lesson was not in vain. It's just that this time it was a fluke, and we were sure to win miserably. But by some strange combination of circumstances, the two girls and King Yong wanted to go together, and together they cut off all the river water, which allowed his soldiers and horses to attack quickly. Cross the river.
When Wang Yue crossed the river, King Yong released the water first, but the water flow had no effect on Wang Yue's soldiers and horses. It also cleaned up the river in disguise. When King Yong's soldiers and horses came, Wang Ling and Cheng Shaoshang released the water, which had an unexpected effect.
It was really God's will. Wang Yue's original plan to reduce the number of infantrymen could only be temporarily shelved.
...
Wang Yue had rich experience and had the cooperation of his family. After he sent people to pass the battle report back to the imperial city, he quickly reorganized things inside and outside Feng Zhen City. So, when Ling Buyi came, he didn't even bring an army, but only brought Emperor Wen's imperial edict.
First, Emperor Wen asked Wang Yue to temporarily take over the position of governor of Feng Yu County to protect the country and the people. He was relieved of the post of general Xiaoqi and was appointed as the county magistrate of Feng Yu County. ), even Wang Leng and Cheng Shaoshang received awards.
After receiving the order, Wang Yue looked at the dusty Ling Buyi and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing, Your Majesty, not letting people get married?"
Ling Busu laughed after hearing Wang Yue's complaint. He quickly explained to Emperor Wen, "You are worrying too much. Your Majesty means that you can stay here for a year and a half at most. By the time General He is familiar with the official affairs of the county, You will be promoted to county governor, and you can return to the capital. Of course, the Holy Father also said that if you can't wait and want to get married here, that's fine."
Wang Yue was very depressed. His feelings were a hard work, so he said depressedly, "Didn't I recommend Lou Niu to be the county magistrate? Are you planning to wait for me to leave before getting promoted?"
Ling Buyi saw that Wang Yue had the idea of getting married in Feng Yu County, so he mourned for Cheng Shaoshang's mother. After a while, he patiently explained, "Lou Niu's meritorious service is in the eyes of the Holy See. It's just that He was promoted too quickly. Secondly, Mr. Lou felt that Lou Niu had exaggerated and was ineffective. His Majesty saw that Mr. Lou Niu’s uncle had said so, so it was not easy to appoint him directly. He happened to be planning to let you lead troops to temporarily station in Feng Zhen County, so he followed the trend. I will let you act as the county governor temporarily. If Lou Niu is given a chance to show what he has learned, and if he really shows his talents within a year, it will not be too late to be promoted to the county magistrate."
Wang Yue glanced at Lou Niu apologetically. He didn't expect that Lou Niu's uncle would go to great lengths to suppress his nephew. If it was useless, it would block Lou Niu's promotion path.
Lou Niu didn't mean it after hearing Ling Buyi's words. He said with high spirits, "I knew this, but I didn't expect that my uncle would fall out. But it's okay. Lou Yao and I are now independent, Your Majesty." You can also use us as a poor family."
Wang Yue didn't want to comment too much on the Lou family's affairs, and he didn't know whether Lou Niu's situation was good or bad. But Lou Niu looked away, and he no longer struggled. He looked at Lou Yao and asked, "Speaking of which, Do you still want your childhood sweetheart?"
Lou Yao had a headache when he thought of this. He had experienced this battlefield and had become more mature. Thinking of He Zhaojun, he said helplessly, "My uncle has already decided to cancel the engagement with Uncle He's family. What can I do? "
Lou Niu glanced at his younger brother. He knew that his younger brother actually liked He Zhaojun's father He Yong, so he looked at his younger brother and said, "Now our second wife is still at odds with the eldest brother. If you are willing to marry He Zhaojun, your eldest brother is here." , I will mention this matter to Uncle He's family tomorrow, I remember that you haven't returned the token of He's family yet."
Lou Yao shook his head and said helplessly, "All the eldest brothers of Zhaojun died in the battle. Now the He family is attending a funeral. I really don't want to disturb them."
Lou Niu finally heard it. His younger brother didn't know what his thoughts were, and he didn't force it. He could see that his younger brother still had some true feelings for He Zhaojun. Maybe it was because good things took their toll.
...
A few days after Ling Buyi arrived, he and Wang Yue went to the He family to attend the funerals of the He family's five sons.
He Yong had no objections to the emperor's treatment. His dereliction of duty had caused many dead souls to be born in Feng Zhen County. This time he was demoted but actually promoted, but it was excessive for a year, which could be regarded as a warning to him. Fortunately, he is still alive, and his unborn grandchildren are still alive, with a son and a daughter. General He, who was sent by the white-haired man to the black-haired man, endured it with strength.
When Wang Yue sent Ling Buyi away, he gave Ling Buyi some of the evidence he had collected. After all, through Ling Buyi's hands, he could find the clues he wanted faster.
After Ling Buyi read the evidence given by Wang Yue, he suddenly said, "You are too cruel to King Yong. Maybe he will die a violent death before he reaches Kyoto."
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what he meant. Ling Busuo was planning to kill King Yong, so he frowned and asked, "Is this what your Majesty means?"
Ling Buyi looked into Wang Yue's eyes and asked word for word, "Is there any difference?"
Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth, and immediately understood that this was Ling Buji's own idea. He thought about it for a while, and it seemed that King Yong had nothing to do with the death of his parents. Since Ling Buji wanted to kill him, there might be other directions. He pretended to be helpless and said, "That night, in the dark, I was killing the enemy with a torch. I really couldn't control the severity."
Ling Busu smiled when he heard what Wang Yue said. He knew that Wang Yue would agree, so he reciprocated the favor and said, "I heard that General Wang wants to take his bride back to the capital Dongmou to stay there. After I go back, I will make it your stay." Mediate before His Majesty."
When Wang Yue saw what Ling Buyi said, he immediately nodded his thanks. He was very satisfied with the transaction. He just thought that he would not return to Beijing for a year and the orphan girl Cheng Xiaomei he brought back from Hua County would not be taken care of, so he quickly warned , "General Ling, my little sister Cheng is the orphan of Mr. Cheng from Hua County. I am not in the capital, so please take care of her."
Ling Busuo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Wang Yue didn't leave the little girl with Uncle Cheng, so he nodded in agreement and left without saying anything else.
Things turned out just as Wang Yue expected. King Nayong was killed by Ling Buyi before he returned to Kyoto. Xiao Shizi also lost too much blood. Although the bleeding was stopped, he fell ill not long after arriving in Beijing and died in the imperial prison before he could be interrogated.
Wang Yue had no idea about this, but he was a little hesitant. This Yong Wang resold Gucheng's weapons, which only caused Gucheng to be destroyed earlier. He was Ling Buji's enemy. There was no doubt about it. Then, it was the Yue clan who killed his parents!
Is it possible that there will be rebellion in this world?
...
Time flies by, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Wang Yue and Cheng Shaoshang have already settled down in Feng Yu County and got married here immediately.
Of course, Wang Yue and Cheng Shaoshang got married in Feng Yu County, which made the Cheng family very dissatisfied with Wang Yue, but Cheng Shaoshang didn't care, and Wang Yue didn't care even more.
On the day Cheng Shi came to Feng Yu County with his family papers, he complained to Wang Yue. He felt that his daughter had not been seen for more than ten years, and it was hard to miss her for a few days. She was married in the blink of an eye. It was really hard to let go.
When Wang Yue listened to Cheng Shi's nagging, he kept mumbling in his heart, "You have been on the war for more than ten years, and you have brought all your sons with you. The eldest son even had time to arrange to study in the academy, but your daughter was left at home. You deserve it! Even if the adults can't come back in more than ten years, they can definitely ask their sons or close relatives to come back to see their daughter, but such a thing has never happened in more than ten years. "
Seemingly sensing Wang Yue's schadenfreude, the Cheng Shi brothers and their nephews worked together to drink wine on Wang Yue on the day of the wedding. If the Lou brothers hadn't helped to hold back the wine, there's no telling whether Wang Yue would have had a good time. Newlywed.
