Chapter 140 Recommendations
The Jinbing camp still had a lot of supplies. In addition to food and armor, there were thousands of horses. The [-] Jurchen soldiers had not yet been organized and had no horses. They were killed by the [-] cavalry led by Chen Qing, and they scattered and fled. , They ignited Jinbing's forage camp, and the fire took advantage of the wind to turn the Jinbing camp into a sea of ​​flames.

Chen Qing didn't stay for long, and immediately drove thousands of horses towards the east. As soon as Chen Qinghe's subordinates left, the head of ten thousand, Se Muda, rushed to the camp with [-] troops. There was chaos in the camp, and Seto When Mu Da heard that the general of the Song Army had withdrawn eastward with his horses, he immediately shouted without hesitation, "Follow me!"

He led [-] cavalry to rush eastward along the small river.
The Jin soldiers have arrived at the camp one after another, Wanyan Alupu's face is extremely ugly, he already knows that there is only one empty camp left in Jiwangpo, the Song army has run away, and even the wounded soldiers are taken away, he was killed and wounded There are more than [-] people, but Chen Qing ran away without even getting a fart. How can he explain to the fourth prince?

He yelled at the generals, and at this moment, there was a faint sound of rumbling explosions from the east.

All the generals looked at each other, and Han Chang said urgently, "I'm afraid General Semuda is in trouble."

"Damn Chen Qing, I must cut him into pieces with my own hands!"

Wanyan Alupu gritted his teeth with hatred, and said to Wan Yantuo, chief ten thousand, "You lead two thousand brothers to guard the camp for me. The remaining fire is extinguished, and the food and supplies are clearly counted. The rest of the army mount their horses and follow me to meet Seki General Da."

The [-] troops got on their horses one after another, followed the general Wanyan Alupu and swept away to the east.

Chen Qing reacted immediately, and used more than one hundred barrels of gunpowder barrels mixed with poisonous nails to kill and wound more than a thousand of Semuta's pursuers. When the enemy army was in chaos, he led the cavalry to turn south again. , ran to the southernmost point, turned back and ran westward in the woods.

The five hundred soldiers rode on two horses, ensuring their speed and horse strength, and galloped all the way. After running for more than [-] miles, they passed by the main force of the [-] golden soldiers, and returned to Jiwangpo not long after.

The Jiwangpo Camp has no enemy troops, it is deserted, only a little embers of fire are still burning on the hillside, and even dozens of sentinel cavalry deployed under the hillside have also been withdrawn. The feeling of taking tea to cool down.

Although the Jinbing barracks seemed to have another chance, Chen Qing restrained himself. He and the soldiers left Jiwangpo quickly without stopping, and rushed westward under the cover of night, before disappearing in the night.

From the beginning to the end, Jin Bing thought that Chen Qing led his army back to Dasan Pass, and even Wanyan Wushu believed in it.

When it was almost dawn, Chen Qing caught up with the resting main force at the entrance of Xigu Valley, and everyone heaved a long sigh of relief when the commander returned.

Liu Cui stepped forward and said, "Commander Qi, my father wants to see you."

Chen Qing nodded, he first wrote a Ying letter and asked Xin Ying to send it back to Dasanguan before coming to see Liu Ziyu.

Liu Ziyu was lying on the ground, with more than a dozen guards guarding him. It could be seen that his complexion was very bad. Last night, the guards rode his horse on their backs, bumping all the way, and the wound was a little serious.

"How does Liu Dutong feel?" Chen Qing squatted down and asked.

Liu Ziyu gave a thumbs up and praised: "Last night, the commander's withdrawal was very beautiful. He deceived tens of thousands of golden soldiers, and the whole army retreated safely. I have to accept it."

Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "It's actually a fluke. If Jin Bing deploys an army at the bottom of the slope, I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly."

"It's not a fluke, it's because you killed too many Jin soldiers, which caused their strength to be tight, so you didn't deploy troops down the hillside, it's God's will!"

Liu Ziyu sighed with emotion, and asked again: "I heard from Quanzi that the commander is going to Qinzhou?"

Chen Qing nodded, "Since I am the envoy of Qinzhou, I naturally want to seize Qinzhou!"

Liu Ziyu pondered for a moment and said: "In fact, capturing Qinzhou can take a while, but I think the commander can take advantage of the opportunity of the Jin soldiers to attack Dashan Pass with all their strength, toss around behind the Jin soldiers, relieve the pressure of Dashan Pass, and finally finish the battle." Wushu couldn't attack the Dasan Pass and had to retreat, the leadership deserved it!"

Liu Ziyu's suggestion opened a window for Chen Qing's eyes, making his eyes brighten.

Chen Qing nodded and said with a smile: "I will definitely consider Dutong's suggestion carefully. The top priority is to send Dutong and the wounded soldiers back to Immortal Pass."

"Thank you, Commander. This time, my life was saved by the Commander. There is no repayment. Take the rest of the army commanders away!"

After resting for an hour, the army continued to march westward and arrived at Xianrenguan at noon the next day. Liu Zan heard that his father was injured, so he personally took the carriage ten miles away to meet his father, met Chen Qing again, and led the army to Xianrenguan rest.

On the head of Xianrenguan City, Liu Zan said to his brother Liu Cui, "I also need people here, why don't you stay and help me?"

Liu Cui laughed and said, "It's my father's intention to let me follow Commander Chen. Of course I have to listen to my father's arrangement!"

"Don't pretend to be mean in front of me, father said to respect your choice!"

Liu Cui smiled wryly and said, "Brother, why should you make things difficult for me?"

Liu Zan was silent, and asked for a while, "Why did you choose to follow him?"

"There are many reasons. It is said that he is wise, brave, and decisive, that he has clear rewards and punishments, and that he leads troops well. These are not the real reasons. I am willing to follow him. In fact, there is only one reason. He did not abandon a wounded soldier when he retreated. A lowly groom was injured, but he didn't leave him behind. In order to let the wounded soldiers retreat safely, he would rather lead the army to take risks. Although these are small things, no one mentions them, but all the soldiers see them. including me."

Liu Zan nodded, "I understand, I respect your choice, no matter what, he saved his father's life this time, and I will definitely repay him in the future."

"How does daddy arrange it?" Liu Cui asked.

"I specifically asked the military doctor. The military doctor said that my father's tendons were seriously injured, and the poison in his internal organs was hard to cure. I am afraid that he will not be able to use weapons for the rest of his life. In fact, this is also a good thing. Father can stay away from the battlefield. I plan to let him go to Xianrenguan first Heal the broken bones, and then send him to Chengdu for recuperation, try to clean up the residual poison in his body, it happens that the elder brother is also in Chengdu, he can take good care of his father."

At the same moment when the Liu brothers were talking, Chen Qing was also thinking about his next move in the big tent.

Liu Ziyu's suggestion was like a guiding light, which made Chen Qing's eyes suddenly clear, and he knew what he should do next.

It's early winter now, the river has frozen, and it was still thin ice a few days ago, but the ice layer of the river has been very thick these two days, and it will snow soon, and the Song and Jin armies will be at the Dashan Pass. A state of confrontation is conducive to one's own actions.

"Yuanqing, what do you think?" Chen Qing asked Yang Yuanqing next to him.

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly and said, "We should bring [-] people!"

Chen Qing said with a smile: "The wounded soldier stays to recuperate, I have already discussed with Liu Zan."

"In this case, we will have [-] more horses. These [-] horses can support tents, food supplies, etc., and it will soon enter winter. We will spend most of our time in the wilderness, and the logistical conditions need to be strengthened."

Chen Qing nodded, "This plan is good and can be adopted. Where is Fatty Zheng?"

Chen Qing glanced at Zheng Ping.

Zheng Ping grinned, "I only come up with bad ideas, how can I find a good way?"

"Then tell me about your bad idea!"

Zheng Ping scratched his head and said: "My idea is to keep a low profile, don't let Wanyan Wushu pay attention to us, we will pretend to be Liu Ziyu's generals, or give us random names, such as Yang Qing, Ma Qing, Niu Qing, that's what I mean , as long as they are unknown juniors, our risk will be much smaller."

Chen Qing smiled slightly, "Niu Qing and Ma Qing don't sound good, so let's call them Yang Qing!"

Early the next morning, Chen Qing led [-] cavalry to leave Xianrenguan and head north, disappearing into the vast mountains.
