Chapter 102 Famous generals through the ages
The unprepared Yizhou soldiers had no power to fight back.
Just when Zhao Huan was about to turn around and leave, he heard roars coming from behind him.
"Gather your formation!"
"Gather your formation!"
"Stay inside and fight on your own, you will only die faster!"
In such a situation, there are still people who are stubbornly resisting?
Zhao Huan suddenly became interested, and following the sound, he saw a burly and sturdy young man over six feet tall, trying his best to organize resistance.
This man, estimated to be in his early twenties, was able to remain calm despite such a desperate situation.
Holding a single sword in his hand, he waved his arms, attracting the panicked Yizhou soldiers to come closer to him.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred people gathered around him.
He immediately ordered to whip the surrounding horses continuously, trying to frighten the horses and knock away the surrounding Tiger Wing soldiers.
It's a pity that these war horses belong to the light cavalry unit. They are fast and have good endurance, but they lack the courage to "collision".
After all, it is not a war horse specially trained by heavy cavalry.
Especially when faced with soldiers wearing infantry armor who looked like tin cans, they could hide and hide whenever they could.
Occasionally, one or two groups of war horses bumped into them, and they were immediately surrendered by the soldiers.
Faced with the close-up killings of the Tiger Wing soldiers, the man's temporary defense line was cut down like a leek in the blink of an eye.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the man raised his single sword and stabbed it through the gap between the "eyebrow" and "blunt neck" above the soldier's faceplate.
He stabbed the soldiers in the eyes, then threw down his single sword and retreated continuously.
Almost as soon as he abandoned his sword and ran away, the short blade in the soldier's hand swept out. If the man's reaction had been any slower, he would have been cut in half.
Zhao Huan, who had been watching from a distance, looked brightly.
This strong man must have been through hundreds of battles and has extremely rich actual combat experience. It is simply incredible that he could seriously injure a heavily armored soldier in such a desperate situation.
"Keep him alive!"
Zhao Huan roared loudly and was about to rush forward and tear the strong man into pieces, but then he stopped.
"Unexpectedly, there are such warriors in Yizhou!"
"May I have your name?"
Although the man was unarmed, he was not afraid. He held his head high and said without any hesitation: "Yue Fei!"
The sonorous and powerful voice echoed on the battlefield filled with the smell of blood.
Yue Fei?!
Zhao Huan was stunned. He couldn't believe his eyes, seeing this warrior standing in front of him.
It turned out to be Yue Wumu, General Yue, who is famous throughout the ages!
According to time calculation, in the seventh year of Xuanhe, Yue Fei was twenty-two years old.
A year ago, his father Yue He died of illness. Yue Fei returned to his hometown in Tangyin to observe filial piety. Due to difficulties in making a living, he went to Hedong Road to join the Pingding Army in order to make a living.
Why did you suddenly go to Yizhou?
And he even got together with these scum?
Zhao Huan couldn't figure it out, but one thing was certain. The person in front of him was definitely one of the most trustworthy people in the entire Song Dynasty.
If it weren't for Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, this pair of treacherous officials would have killed Yue Fei on "unfounded" charges.
Yue Fei had already led the Yue Family Army and Beiwei Iron Cavalry to recapture Kaifeng Mansion and drive Wanyan Wushu out of the Song Dynasty.
History is irreversible, but now Zhao Huan meets this eternal great man.
Even though they met but did not know each other, Zhao Huan had already vowed to clear the obstacles for Yue Wumu and defeat the Jin invaders at all costs!
"My lord, either you don't do it, or if you do it, you have to eradicate it."
Seeing that Zhao Huan only spared Yue Fei's life, Zhao Shiyan quickly reminded him.
"These five hundred Yizhou soldiers have a deep connection with Tong Guan. It would be extremely detrimental to the prince if even one of them is left alive."
"If all these bandits are killed, there will never be any unjust, false or wrongful convictions."
Hearing these words, Yue Fei was not afraid at all.
He picked up the single sword from the ground and stood proudly among the flesh and blood, majestic and motionless.
At first he was just a fledgling soldier, but he already had the demeanor of a famous general in the past.
"I, Yue Fei, have walked upright and sat upright throughout my life!"
"This time I was forced to make a living and took refuge in Yizhou. I was just following orders."
"As for the interests involved, what does it have to do with me?"
The words were sonorous and powerful, and this courage actually inspired Zhao Shiyan's murderous intention even more. This kind of person cannot be allowed to stay.
Who knows what his involvement is with Yizhou soldiers. If he is allowed to live, he will definitely bite back in the future.
"My lord, all the rats can be kept, but this person must be killed!"
As long as Zhao Huan said a word, the soldiers of the Tiger Wing Army could swarm forward and cut Yue Fei into pieces in an instant.
No matter how brave and powerful he is, he is dressed in civilian clothes and does not even have an armor-piercing weapon in his hand, how can he compete with the heavily armored soldiers with just a single sword?
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Huan raised his hand with a firm gaze.
"The five hundred Yizhou soldiers have all been killed. This person is not a Yizhou soldier."
What?!
Zhao Shiyan's eyes were wide open in disbelief. He racked his brains and couldn't figure out why King Ding, who was always decisive in killing, would break the rules for a pawn?
Zhao Shiyan has staked his fortune and life on Zhao Huan. The more he does this, the less he can let Zhao Huan make stupid moves.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid..."
Before Zhao Shiyan could finish speaking, Zhao Huan glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
Facing that piercing gaze, Zhao Shiyan fell silent for an instant, then silently lowered his head and said no more words.
"Master Zhao, have I ever seen this before?"
"Yizhou is at the right time to employ people, and is especially short of generals."
"If this person can be used by this king, he will achieve great things in the future."
Zhao Shiyan took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "How does the prince know that this person is reliable?"
Zhao Huan blurted out without thinking: "Is Zheng Qingyun reliable?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shiyan was speechless on the spot.
Everyone in Bianjing didn't know that Zhao Huan just picked up a concubine on the first day he went to Jiaofangsi.
Although I don’t know where Zhao Huan’s confidence came from.
But even the concubines can determine their fate at a glance, and the selection of generals for Yizhou can also be determined at a glance, which seems to make sense...
but……
Whether it is Zhao Huan who is lucky and always meets the right person, or whether he is smart and discerning, Zhao Shiyan is now at a loss.
"Back off!"
Following Zhao Shiyan's order, the soldiers of the Tiger Wing Army, who were ready to attack, gave up.
Zhao Huan now had some spare money, but he was quite generous. He took out a five hundred tael silver note from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Shiyan.
"The soldiers of the Tiger Wing Army have lived and died for my king, and I will naturally not treat them badly."
"The only injured soldier, I will take care of him not only for this life, but also for the rest of his family."
"Is this five hundred taels of silver enough?"
Zhao Shiyan didn't say anything, thinking that these five hundred taels of silver would be enough for the wounded man's family to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime.
Originally, the soldiers of the Tiger Wing Army were still resentful, but seeing Zhao Huan's generous actions, their hostility naturally dissipated.
