Chapter 703
A bitter battle ended here, and the soldiers defending the city were exhausted.Seeing the entire Liao army annihilated at the moment, the people in the city didn't even have the strength to cheer, so they just sat on the ground.

Seeing this situation, Chu Ruifeng also felt a little guilty. The key point was that he really did not expect that the Liao army would sneak attack across the river in the twelfth lunar month. "It's Chu who didn't think carefully and hurt everyone. Thank you for sticking to guarding Luzhou. Chu is here again, thank you." Chu Ruifeng said, and saluted the soldiers and young people on the city wall.

"General, don't you want to ruin us by doing this? This Luzhou is our home, and the city of Luzhou is broken, and everyone suffers. Since the general came to Luzhou, we have all lived a life that we did not have before. On a good day, how can we allow those bad guys to destroy the hard-won stable life? Defending the homeland is not only the responsibility of the soldiers, but also our duty."

Among the crowd, several young people said this, and it could be heard that these words came from the heart.This remark won the approval of many people, and everyone nodded, "That is, protecting the family and the country is the duty of a man, and we are also for ourselves. General, stop blaming yourself. General , isn’t it also to protect Luzhou from the imperial court’s intrusion?”

Seeing everyone like this, Chu Ruifeng felt a lot of comfort in his heart.What happened this time reminded him that if he goes out in the future, he must leave enough manpower here, and similar things can't happen again.But this is also helpless. At that time, the rebel army had only so many people and took away fewer people. It was impossible to compete with the court.

It will be better in the future. This time, troops were sent to fight against the imperial court, and Huainan, Dingyuan, Anfeng, Yingzhou and other places were attacked. The territory occupied by the rebel army was many times larger than before. million people.Now Chu Ruifeng has 8 to [-] troops under his command, which is already the leading force in the rebel army. It will not be so easy for the imperial court to deal with the rebel army in the future.

The battle was over, the gates of the city were opened, and Qing Xiao took people to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time escorted less than 1 people captured into the city.These captives were basically Han people who had been forced to join the army. Naturally, Chu Ruifeng would not embarrass them by asking them to take them down and ask them about their wishes.

Those who want to go home, Chu Ruifeng will not keep them, and those who want to stay and join the rebel army are naturally welcome.Those who were arrested had heard of Chu Ruifeng's name a long time ago. If they went home, they might not be able to run away and be held accountable. They might as well stay and join the rebel army.

Therefore, everyone unanimously asked to stay, and Chu Ruifeng naturally welcomed them, so he ordered people to arrange camps for these people alone.In addition, I ordered people to watch them temporarily. Those who surrendered had to be carefully observed for a while before they could be scattered to various places. It was necessary to ensure that there were no spies from the imperial court among them.

As for the people who participated in the defense of the city this time, Chu Ruifeng ordered people to register those who died in battle, and then distributed a pension to their families according to their heads.Those who were injured naturally had to be carefully taken care of. All the people who participated in the defense of the city could receive a certain amount of rice, grain and cloth.

It happened that the Chinese New Year was about to come, so it would be nice to take these things back and keep them for the Chinese New Year. Now that Chu Ruifeng is not short of these things, everyone is even more grateful.Of course, the soldiers guarding the city will not be treated badly, and those who deserve compensation and rewards are indispensable.After experiencing a thrilling battle, everyone relaxed their mood at this time, and all of them were smiling, which wiped away the dignified and sad atmosphere before.

After everything was properly handled in Nancheng, Chu Ruifeng took the people back to the General's Mansion.On the way, Qinglei had already told Chu Ruifeng about Qiaoyun Youxi, and at this moment Chu Ruifeng couldn't wait to see Qiaoyun.The Liao army attacked the city in the past few days, and I don't know what Qiaoyun will be in a hurry. Thinking of this, Chu Ruifeng's heart is really fried.

After finally returning to the General's Mansion, Chu Ruifeng didn't bother to greet those officials, and walked directly towards the backyard to their residence.As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Aunt Wei Cuifeng and others busy outside. Chu Ruifeng was a little surprised. Shouldn't these people be serving Qiaoyun?What are you all doing?
"What are you doing? Where is Yun'er?" Chu Ruifeng couldn't help asking.

Aunt Wei and Cuifeng turned their heads and saw Chu Ruifeng. Aunt Wei was a little excited at the time, "General, you are back. Madam is sleeping in the room. She hasn't closed her eyes for several days. She is sleeping well now." Zhengxiang. The slaves are discussing what to cook for dinner, to clean up the general, and at the same time celebrate that Luzhou is safe and sound."

As soon as Chu Ruifeng heard that Qiaoyun was sleeping, he felt something was wrong.With Qiaoyun's personality, knowing that he will come back, she will definitely wait for him, how could she be sleeping at this time? "What happened to Yun'er? Is everything okay with her?"

When Cuifeng on the opposite side heard Chu Ruifeng's words, she couldn't help being happy for Qiaoyun in her heart. It is indeed lucky that the master has such a husband who cares and considers her everywhere.

"Madam is in good health, but she was tired before, and her energy and blood are a little weak. In addition, Madam is worried about Luzhou City these days. She can't eat well and sleep well. Just now when she heard that the general came back, she fainted in a moment of excitement. Slaves I have already treated my wife just now, and my wife is fine, just let her have a good sleep. Pay more attention in the future, eat something good to replenish your body, and it will be no big deal."

As soon as Chu Ruifeng heard that Qiaoyun had passed out just now, he was in a hurry at that time, and now he didn't care about that, pushed the door into the room, and walked into the room lightly.All I saw was Qiaoyun sleeping peacefully on the big bed carved with red sandalwood. She slept so sweetly that one couldn't bear to disturb her.

Although the person in front of her was sleeping soundly, she could still clearly see the blackness under her eye sockets, as well as her slightly pale complexion.Obviously, these days, Qiaoyun really has never rested in peace.Chu Ruifeng felt a pain in his heart, "Yun'er, you idiot, why are you tossing yourself like this?" Chu Ruifeng whispered softly.

In her sleep, Qiao Yun didn't know if she felt something in her heart, but she opened her eyes at this moment.Looking at the figure sitting in front of her, Qiaoyun rubbed her eyes in disbelief, "Siyuan, you really came back?" While speaking, Qiaoyun was about to struggle to sit up.

Chu Ruifeng reached out and pressed Qiao Yun's shoulder, "Don't get up, lie down, you are not feeling well. Yun'er, it's my fault, I didn't know you had a child, but you are still in Luzhou , let you hold Luzhou under such great pressure, I’m sorry, it’s my fault.” At this moment, Chu Ruifeng really regretted it, if he didn’t come back in time, not only Luzhou had something to do, but even his Wife and children will also be in danger.
