Yu Feng held back tears and closed Han Feng's eyes with his right hand...
The sky has dimmed and winter is about to begin. The nights in Northern Xinjiang are getting colder and colder, but Yu Feng doesn't feel anything at all. Although the wounds on his arms and chest have been treated briefly, he can still see clearly. [...

After cleaning the battlefield during the day, Yu Feng and his men found a nearby village to rest and recuperate. The people who went to drive away the death squads also sent people to contact them and they had returned in the evening. According to Tian Qi's statistics, there were still 761 people left in the army.
There were more than 5,000 people and now there are only more than 700 people left. Everyone felt heavy in their hearts.
Fortunately, the materials looted from Quan County are enough to last so many people for a while. There is no shortage of medicines, food, and winter clothes. We have no shortage of weapons for the time being. We selected the best ones from the battlefield and brought them back. The cooks and blacksmiths who were rescued from Quan County are all dead.
Two military doctors survived. Almost everyone in the remaining Qin army was injured, and the two military doctors were already extremely busy.
Now Yufeng had to reconsider his original plan to attack Guzhou by surprise and force the barbarians on the front lines of Jinzhou to return for reinforcements so that they could have a chance to return south. But now there are only so few people left and everyone is injured, no matter how empty Guzhou's defenses are.
They can't succeed either...
Yu Ji stood on the front line of Jinzhou. His eyes were deeply sunken and almost filled with bloodshot eyes. He could see how tired he was during this period of time. Yu Ji understood that Jinzhou's defense line was now broken by just a piece of paper. If the barbarians came again tomorrow,
If attacked, Jinzhou will definitely not be able to defend it.
Yu Ji could not imagine the consequences after the fall of Jinzhou. If Jinzhou fell, Hu Qi's troops could even point directly at Di Du.
The guard next to him came up to Yu Ji at this time and said, "Commander, go down and rest first. Hu Gou shouldn't have any tricks up his sleeve tonight."
Yu Ji nodded. He is not an iron man. He has not slept for two days and one night. Now he has nothing to do and can go back to rest.
The situation in the army is very bad now. The soldiers are exhausted and their combat effectiveness has plummeted. Their morale is getting worse day by day. Yu Ji is very aware of these situations, but he knows clearly that there is nothing he can do to change it. Thinking of the fight in the court, Yu Ji sighs again.
Early the next morning, a hurried knock on the door woke Yu Ji from his sleep. Yu Ji quickly got up and opened the door, thinking that the barbarians were attacking again. When he opened the door, he saw a happy face on the guard's face.
The guard said happily: "The handsome Hu Gou has retreated."
Hearing the words of the personal guard, Yu Ji did not react for a moment and continued to ask: "What did you just say?"
The guard replied: "The handsome Hugou has retreated."
Yu Ji finally came to his senses and pushed his guards away and went straight to the city wall. When he got to the city wall, he found that many soldiers were whispering beside the city wall. Yu Ji came to the city wall and looked towards the barbarian camp. He could only see a general outline, but
The star-studded tents have disappeared.
At this time, Yu Ji was also puzzled. He was afraid of the tricks played by the barbarians and did not dare to send anyone to open the city gate. In the afternoon, Yu Ji ordered five people to be sent down in hanging baskets to let them go to the barbarian camp to see what was going on.
The five people also cursed in their hearts but did not dare to disobey the military order. The corps commander led the four people to the barbarian camp tremblingly, but none of the five people dared to enter. In the end, the corps commander gritted his teeth and once again clenched the weapon in his hand and took the lead.
After entering, the other four people saw the Wu Commander entering and did not dare to hesitate. The five people behind him entered the Hu camp.
The five people entered the barbarian camp back-to-back. It was so empty that they could only hear their footsteps. There was a mess everywhere...
Yu Ji couldn't calm down after watching the five people enter the barbarian camp. Yu Ji felt that time passed so slowly. Finally, the five people sent out came back.
After the five people were brought by the hanging basket, Yu Ji hurriedly asked: "Have the Hu people really retreated?"
The team leader hurriedly saluted and then replied: "There is indeed no one in the Hu camp. There is a mess everywhere. They must have left in a hurry. Many of the materials were only half burned."
The big stone in Yu Ji's heart finally fell to the ground, but the question mark in his heart was even bigger. The leader of the Hu people was definitely not a fool. He should know that Jinzhou was at the end of its war effort, so why did Wei withdraw at this critical moment?
Fortunately, there were still many things to deal with after the war. Yu Ji was cautious and did not order the city gate to be opened. Two days later, the long-closed city gate was finally opened. This also heralded the end of the Jinzhou Defense War.
They deployed up to 250,000 troops, and the war ended in such a strange way. It took the Qin Dynasty two months to figure out why the Hu people retreated in such a hurry.
As for chasing the enemy, Yu Ji had no idea at all. Even if he ordered it, no one would be willing to do it. It would be possible for the army to mutiny. After the war, more things were waiting for Yu Ji.
There will always be traces on the retreating march of tens of thousands of people. The scouts sent by Yu Ji have been able to confirm that the Hu people have retreated. Only then did Yu Ji send the battle report he had written to Di Du. The troops are now extremely tired and in urgent need of rest, so there can be no rest now.
What a big move.
The soldiers sent to Li Kai's temporary residence have also been withdrawn. After all, the war is over and house arrest cannot be justified. After being placed under house arrest, Li Kai was worried all day long, worried that Yu Ji would kill him and that the Hu people would attack Jinzhou.
It's about worrying about gains and losses.
It wasn't until his servants told him that the soldiers outside the mansion had evacuated that Li Kai finally regained consciousness and realized that something big must have happened. He hurriedly sent his servants out to inquire. During these days of house arrest, Li Kai had been completely isolated from the outside world.
.
The servant who was quickly sent back came back and saw Li Kai and said: "Master, it is a great deed and a deed, and the barbarians have finally retreated."
After repeated assurances from his servants, Li Kai finally believed that the Hu people had retreated. However, Li Kai's joy soon calmed down. After the Hu people retreated, there were more important things for him to do.
Li Kai was not good at fighting, but he still had the heart to take credit for this achievement. He must find a way to get a bigger share if possible. Li Kai had always held a grudge against Yu Ji for putting him under house arrest.
Besides, the Li family and the Yu family are definitely not at odds with each other. Now there is no pressure on Li Kai to deal with Yu Ji...
In the small village where Yu Feng's troops were resting, a horseman suddenly rushed into the small village with all his strength, and soon the scout was brought into Yu Feng's room.
Zheng Kang's voice sounded at the door, "The scout, the captain, has brought back important news."
"Let him in." Yu Feng's voice also rang. The door was pushed open. The scout who just didn't wait for Yu Feng to ask questions and didn't care about the sweat on his face said eagerly: "Lieutenant Yu, we accidentally discovered that the Hu people's army was heading towards Guzhou."
Retreat in the direction."
"What?" Yu Feng couldn't calm down after hearing the news brought back by the scout in front of him.
Yu Feng quickly calmed down and said, "Tell me the details?"
The scout revealed that he and his companions who were responsible for driving away the death-defying army this time were not seriously injured, so the scouting job could only be left to them.
Yufeng's request was to go as far as they could. They followed Yufeng's order and accidentally discovered that countless barbarians were quickly retreating towards Guzhou.
Yu Feng nodded thoughtfully and then ordered: "You continue to follow them. If they enter Guzhou, you will come back. If you find anything unusual about them, come back and report it."
The scout saluted to show his understanding and then went down. Yu Feng said to Zheng Kang: "Find Niu Er, Tian Qi and the five wolves."
When he said "five headed wolves", Yu Feng's face suddenly darkened. Zheng Kang didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly went down.
After a while, Niu Er, Tian Qi, Li Hesong and others came to Yufeng's room one after another.
When Yu Feng saw the people coming, he said to Niu Er: "Take people to Jinzhou personally to see what's going on in Jinzhou. Remember, you must be quick. Leave now."
Although Niu Er had doubts in his heart, he still took the order and strode out of the room.
After hearing Yu Feng's inexplicable order, everyone had doubts in their hearts but they didn't say it out loud.
Yu Feng said to Tian Qi: "General Tian will take three hundred brothers to the battlefield and cut off all the heads of the Hu people. Remember to bring back the flags of the Hu cavalry and a few weapons of the Hu people. Li and Hou
Please bring some people to help and go now."
Tian Qi, Li, Hou Ji, and Niu Er just received inexplicable orders, but they did not dare to have any questions and immediately went out to gather people.
Looking at the remaining He Song and Jia Zhiyufeng, they ordered: "Find our old brother and then you two take people to Hekou Town..."
It turns out that when they conquered Hekou Town and Quan County, the Hu people had already plundered a lot of property. Carrying them was a burden at that time, so Yu Feng ordered them to be buried. When he was resting in Hekou Town for the first time, Yu Feng felt that Quan County was too close to Guzhou.
It's not safe to put it anywhere. I have secretly asked people to transport the property to Hekou Town. But the situation is different now. It is very likely that the Hu people have withdrawn their troops and they can take people back with them. This wealth cannot be taken advantage of by others.
In the past, when Dongzangxi Zang needed it, he would collect heads, but now it is different. These heads are all military achievements. Yufeng already regretted why he didn't collect the mobile phones of the Hu people he killed every time. Of course, he just thought about it.
.
Fortunately, the weather has been cool these two days. If the corpse had been left on the battlefield in summer, it would have rotted.dd
