Fenghou

Chapter 53 Evacuation
Wanyan Wulu finally retreated, and retreated to Pingliang Mansion. They lost nearly [-] soldiers back and forth, but still failed to capture Jiandao Pass, and there was no West Road Jinbing to participate in the battle, which eventually led to the first entry of Jin Kingdom into Sichuan. The defeat of the battle.

In the battle of Jianbaiguan, the Song army successively invested [-] soldiers, and in the end there were only [-] left, and the rest of the soldiers were all killed.

This is an anti-gold battle that can be recorded in history. The main general Chen Qing and [-] soldiers of the Song army won the final victory with their bravery, fearlessness and firm determination to fight against the gold soldiers, and defended the Song Dynasty. the dignity of the military.

A letter eagle circled and flew towards Monk Yuan four hundred miles away, and at the same time sent the good news to the camp of the Song army.

After three days of recuperation, Chen Qing's injury improved and he could get out of bed and walk.

With the support of a soldier, he limped around the barracks.

He saw Du Min who was writing home letters to several soldiers. Du Min also participated in the defense of the city and was injured, but the bleeding stopped in time and he was not seriously injured.

Chen Qing recognized one of the soldiers who wrote the letter as a dead soldier who was sent to blow up the building. Fortunately, all five dead soldiers survived. Take their life and death to heart.

Chen Qing saw Zheng Ping again, his stomach was pierced by the enemy's spear, Zhao Xiaoyi desperately carried him out.

His injuries looked serious, but in the end it was found that no organs were injured, it was only minor injuries.

At this moment, Zheng Ping was lying on the carpet bragging to several other soldiers, "Let me tell you, being fat is good for being fat. My stomach is full of oil, and I can't die if I stick a spear in it..."

Chen Qing laughed dumbfounded, and walked to the other side without disturbing his bragging.

"Commander!"

Chen Qing heard Yang Yuanqing calling him.

Chen Qing stopped, and Yang Yuanqing walked forward quickly and said, "Just now I went to the big tent to find the commander, and the soldiers said they were on the side of the wounded barracks, so I rushed over again."

"What's new?"

"Xuan Fu envoy sent someone to wait for the command envoy in the big tent!"

The Xuan Fu envoy is Zhang Jun, and he actually sent someone here, so he must have received his eagle letter.

Chen Qing hurried back to his big tent.

Walking back to the big tent, he saw a general in his thirties pacing back and forth. Chen Qing recognized this person at a glance. It was Zhang Jun's personal soldier, Zhu Baijin. He had seen him in Ziwu Valley last time.

"Keep General Zhu waiting for a long time!"

Zhu Baijin smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations to the Commander for another outstanding achievement!"

Chen Qing waved his hand, "It's all the result of soldiers sacrificing their lives, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Now Chen Qing is most afraid of others saying that the credit is his. When he thinks of Yang Hua, Luo Gan and the many soldiers who died in battle, he can't bear it.

Zhu Baijin smiled, not entangled with him on this topic, and said again: "The battle of Monk Yuan is also over, the Jin army was defeated, Wanyan was not killed in battle, the envoy of Xuan Fu was talking about his merits, and the blocking battle of Jiandao Pass ranked first. The second place is second only to Wang Yan, the commander of the capital, in the battle to lure the enemy into the depths. The Xuan Fu envoy will naturally reward you, but you still have a task. When this task is over, you can abandon the Jiandao Pass and withdraw your troops back to Dasan close."

"General Zhu, please speak!"

"Respond to the withdrawal of General Liu Kai's headquarters to Hanzhong."

"Why do we have to withdraw? Isn't it just an opportunity for us to counterattack now that the Jin Bing has been defeated for the first time?" Chen Qing asked puzzled.

"Wanyan Wushu's [-] Jurchen army is on their way to Guanlong, they must evacuate as soon as possible."

Chen Qing was silent for a moment and asked again: "We have less than two hundred soldiers now, how should we respond?"

"You don't need to go out to meet them. As long as you hold the Jiandao Pass, they will withdraw soon. The Xuan Fu envoy has issued an evacuation order to them. General Liu Ziyu will withdraw from the south of Fengzhou and enter Sichuan. You don't have to worry about it. It is necessary to meet General Liu Kai's troops going south."

Two days later, Liu Kai led [-] troops to Jiandao Pass.

Liu Kai was in his early thirties, tall and well-built, with a dignified appearance. He was born in a family of generals in the Western Army. He was also a famous anti-golden general who was as famous as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong. He was originally the deputy commander of the Jingyuan Army. When they arrived in Jingzhou, they recruited some stragglers, with a maximum strength of [-].

However, the army food was not enough, and the soldiers kept leaving. In the end, there were only [-] people left in his army. If Chen Qing hadn't controlled the Jiandao Pass, or if Wanyan Wulu hadn't been defeated and returned to Pingliang Mansion, he would have nowhere to go. In the end, it will be wiped out by the golden soldiers.

Chen Qing ordered all the hundreds of sheep captured to be slaughtered to reward Liu Qi's army who had come from afar.

Liu Kai said apologetically, "I'm in Jingzhou. I know it's difficult for the commander to guard the pass, but I can't come to provide assistance. I'm really ashamed!"

Chen Qing smiled slightly, "General, you don't have to blame yourself, I know your difficulties, and we will have the opportunity to fight side by side in the future."

Liu Kai felt relieved, and laughed, "It is my honor, Liu Kai, to be able to fight side by side with Commander Chen!"

Early the next morning, Liu Kai's army was about to withdraw to the south, and Chen Qing also completed his mission, leading the army to withdraw southward together.

"Commander, it's time to go!" Zheng Ping urged in a low voice.

Chen Qing turned his head and took a last look at the battered Guancheng, where more than a thousand soldiers were buried. He watched in silence for a moment, got on his horse, and galloped towards the south of the canyon.

Two days later, the team arrived at Dasan Pass from West Valley. Chen Qing and his soldiers received a warm welcome. Wu Jie and Wang Yan went out of the pass to welcome Chen Qing's return.

Wu Jie immediately ordered to kill pigs and sheep to reward the Jianbai Pass defenders who had made great contributions to the monk Yuan Dasheng.

The banquet was not over yet, and the laughter of the soldiers could be heard in the distance. Under the moonlight, Wang Yan and Chen Qing stood at the top of Dasan Pass, looking at the distant mountains in the night.

"Tomorrow, you are going to Xingzhou. The Xuan Fu envoy calls to see you. Everyone can see that the Xuan Fu envoy thinks highly of you."

Chen Qing was silent for a while.

Wang Yan glanced at Chen Qing, and said with a smile: "Actually, this is a good thing. There is not much future in following me. If you can get the attention of Xuanfu envoy, you will become a general beside me sooner or later."

Chen Qing stared in the direction of Jiandao Pass, and said lightly: "I am a member of the Eight Character Army no matter what time it is!"

Wang Yan was moved, he patted Chen Qing on the shoulder, "Tell me! What wish do you have, I will definitely fulfill it for you."

"I have only one wish, that the soldiers who died in battle can be compensated, and the surviving soldiers can be promoted."

Wang Yan nodded, "This time our Bazi Army can get half of the reward, and I will fulfill your wish for you!"

Chen Qing pondered for a while and said: "In addition, I recommend Yang Yuanqing to be the deputy commander of the Bazi Army's scout battalion. He, like me, is from the Huanqing Army, but his talent and bravery are enough to make him competent. If I can't come back, I hope you Let him succeed me as general, I believe he will not disappoint Dutong!"

Wang Yan smiled slightly, "With your words, I don't have to worry about Lao Wu snatching Yang Yuanqing away."

"Dutong, I really can't come back?" Chen Qing asked again.

Wang Yan shook his head, "I don't know either, I can only say that there is a possibility. This time the Golden Army was defeated, and the Battle of Fuping was officially over. Even if Wanyan Wushu attacks Dasanguan in the future, it will take at least one or two years of preparation. He also needs time to consolidate his occupation of Guanlong, during which time there will be many personnel changes in the Song Army, so when we part, I will send you a word."

"Please tell me all!"

Wang Yan said slowly: "Be low-key and do things high-key!"

Back at the barracks, I saw Zheng Ping at the door of his big tent, "Old Zheng, what's wrong?"

Zheng Ping said with a strange face: "It's strange, I actually received a letter from home!"

"Isn't it normal to receive a letter from home?"

"No! No! No!"

Zheng Ping shook his head like a rattle, "The letter from home actually came from Lin'an. It was a letter from my father asking me to go to Lin'an Mansion. This letter was entrusted to an official who came from Lin'an Mansion to announce the decree." I was completely at a loss as to how my parents were in Lin'an, and how did they know that I was in Guanzhong and still alive!"

Chen Qing laughed and said, "Your father didn't know that you were serving in the army in Guanzhong?"

Zheng Ping shook his head, "I sneaked out out of anger and joined the Eight Character Army in Xiangzhou, and then moved to Guanzhong. We should have no news of me!"

"Anyway, it's a good thing to be able to meet your relatives. It happens that I'm going to Xingzhou tomorrow, so you go with me."

"Call Xiaoyi! He also wants to visit Lin'an with me."

Chen Qing nodded, "He can go if he wants!"

Zhao Xiaoyi's biggest wish is to visit Bianliang, Tokyo. If you can't go to Bianliang, you can go to Lin'an. Although Lin'an has not been officially designated as the capital by the imperial court, in the eyes of the world, it is the capital.
