Chapter 530: Have you ever regretted it?(1/2)
On the wooden plank road that protrudes into the river more than ten feet away from the ferry, Xiao Chuo stands alone with his hands behind his back.
The river surged up and splashed a few steps away from her feet, but not a drop of water touched her clothes.
Countless warriors stood quietly on the river bank behind her.
Apart from the roar of the river, there was no other sound.
Even the neighing of the horses was not heard at this moment.
On the other side, countless Western troops were slowly retreating.
First, the cavalry rode away, followed closely by the infantry. Team by team, holding flags high, followed the cavalry and walked into the distance.
Finally, on the other side of the river, only a large flag with nine white wolf tails hanging and a mountain-like man under the flag were left.
After the man took one last look at the woman standing alone on the plank road, he saw a circle of horse heads, smoke and dust, retreating together with the big flag.
Xiao Chuo turned around and walked back step by step.
After getting off the plank road and onto the river embankment, the army moved aside like a tide, making way for her to make way for a passage.
When she got on her horse and picked up the reins, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out from nowhere!
"Long live!"
Xiao Chuo stood up and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.
"Long live!"
The response rose.
Then, one after another,
In the end, they gathered into one voice.
"Long live the Queen, long live, long live!"
Countless people raised their weapons and cheered loudly,
There are also some people whose expressions changed with horror,
But looking at the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who followed Xiao Chuo, all of them remained calm. After a slight hesitation, they could only raise their weapons and cheer loudly.
At this moment, if you don't fit in with others, it will be too conspicuous.
To the ordinary soldiers of the Liao Kingdom, the Queen at this moment was the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved them from danger.
The Western Army is famous.
For so many years, the war between the Liao Army and the Western Army has never stopped.
The Liao Army looked down on the Song Army, but they respected the Western Army, which was born out of the Song Army, from the bottom of their hearts.
That is respect gained in exchange for victory after victory and countless blood and death.
Facing the Song army, they were full of confidence in victory.
When fighting against the Western Army, everyone must prepare their funeral arrangements first.
Especially the Western Army effortlessly wiped out Yeluxi's 5,000 tribal troops, leaving not even a scrap left.
Even if they are separated by a river now, it cannot give them a sense of security at all.
Because there were so many Western troops coming,
And their elites here in Fenglingdu are really too few.
If the Western Army forced to cross the river at all costs, they really had no confidence that they could stop the opponent.
Everyone can only prepare to die.
But when the queen came, everything changed.
Ordinary soldiers don't understand the twists and turns here.
They only see,
Their queen dressed in regular clothes, took a boat, and met the wolf of the northwest who could stop children from crying at night in the middle of the river.
Of course you can't hear what they are saying,
But you can see that the Queen is as calm as ever,
That was because the wolf from the northwest was very excited, sometimes even jumping up and down like a giant monkey.
Then, the two sides separated and turned around.
Just one day later, all the tens of thousands of Western troops withdrew.
The Queen's originally tall image was lifted countless times in an instant.
Not only beautiful, noble, graceful and brave,
And it's even more mysterious.
Countless people imagined in their minds how the Queen was at loggerheads with the ferocious Wolf of the Northwest, and then successfully frightened the ferocious Wolf of the Northwest, causing him to retreat in the face of difficulties.
Isn’t this very different from Zhuge Kongming’s Empty City story, which is famous in the history of the Han people?
"Please also ask the empress to send reinforcements, otherwise Hedong will be poisoned by the Western army. The instability in Hedong will also affect the battle of Tokyo!" Liu Quanyi knelt on the ground and cried out.
In the first battle, the Western Army defeated not only Yeluxi's 5,000 tribal cavalry, but also 30,000 Hedong elites led by Gao Yao himself.
The Liao people lost these 5,000 tribal cavalry, but they felt a little heartbroken, but it did not affect the overall situation.
But if Hedong loses these 30,000 elites, it will be fatal.
Now Zhang Yunsheng of the Shenyong Army Division on the left side of the Western Army has spotted the opening and is leading the army out of Luowucheng to attack Hedong! If it is not good, Liu Quanyi, who has only been the king of Jin for a few days, may follow him.
The son-in-law, Gao Yao, who put on the King of Qin's hat and raised his pigtails, went to see the King of Hell together.
Even if he doesn't see the King of Hell, but he has lost his roots in Hedong, what value does he have in the eyes of the Liao people?
At that time, the Liao people were too lazy to pay attention, and the Song people hated him for betraying him, and were afraid that the Liu family would die without a burial place.
However, Xiao Chuo was too lazy to pay attention to this matter.
Talking to Xiao Dingyi, she had already confirmed that the Western Army was at the end of its war effort after taking Shaanxi. The attack on Hedong was just an action by Zhang Yunsheng, a military commander. Hedong looked dangerous, but in fact Zhang Yunsheng could not get the West.
With the strong support of the army, they did not dare to go deep.
The Liu family has a thousand-year foundation in Hedong. Although it has lost tens of thousands of people and damaged its foundation, it will not kill them immediately. It can definitely be squeezed out again.
"Prince Jin, you are also aware of the current situation. If we cannot capture Tokyo quickly, we will face a lot of troubles." Xiao Chuo said: "I can persuade the Western Army to retreat. That is because the Western Army and Zhao and Song Dynasty have incompatible relations.
resolve the conflict, but what to do when reinforcements from other places arrive? Therefore, at present, we must concentrate all our efforts on attacking Tokyo. On the Hedong side, you can only rely on yourselves for the time being. Just hold on and wait until we win.
In Tokyo, the army turned around, and Zhang Yunsheng was so frightened that he ran away like a rabbit."
"But......"
Before Liu Quanyi finished speaking, Xiao Chuo had already turned to look at Yeluzhen: "Marshal might as well allocate more ordnance to King Jin to help King Jin regain his strength and organize another army."
Yeluzhen said cheerfully: "I can give you as much armor, swords, guns, and crossbows as King Jin wants. Moreover, I can also send a team of officers to help King Jin regain his strength as soon as possible."
After taking Henan Prefecture, Yeluzhen confiscated too many ordnance and weapons from the Song Dynasty's arsenal in various places in Henan Prefecture. Many of them were still wrapped in oil paper and had not been opened at all. Yeluzhen was so happy with the brand-new things.
Speaking of which, the manufacturing technology of the Song Dynasty was indeed much better than that of the Liao Dynasty.
Over the years, under the rule of the Empress, the Liao Dynasty had made great progress in manufacturing, but it was still far behind the people of the Song Dynasty.
Hundreds of years of debt cannot be repaid in just a few years.
"Thank you, Marshal!" He couldn't get any reinforcements, but he was able to get some ordnance, which was a little bit of comfort.
"But King Jin, now that hundreds of thousands of Liao troops are gathered under the walls of Tokyo, we need a lot of support from Hedong in the direction of food and grass!" Xiao Chuo's voice changed, "The soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass go first. This must be ignored.
Unforgivable."
"I understand, I understand!" Liu Quanyi said repeatedly.
Although Fenglingdu is a geomantic treasure land where Qin, Jin and Henan meet, it has been devastated by the war and now has few intact houses. The only inn is Xiao Chuo's home.
However, the best house here is not where Xiao Chuo lives.
Instead, there lived an old man that most people didn't know.
After sending Liu Quanyi away, Xiao Chuo came to the door of the house. Under the shocked eyes of the guards, she gently knocked on the door: "Uncle, can I see you?"
There was only the sound of heavy breathing in the room, but no one answered him.
Yelumin reached out and pushed open the door.
Standing in front of the door, he saw Luo Song sitting on a chair facing the door.
Two full months have passed since Liu Quanyi detained him.
Two months, to Luo Song, seemed like two hundred years had passed.
My hair is all white,
The figure is also stooped.
My eyes no longer have the sparkle they once had,
To be continued...
