Chapter 400: They are all dead
hamsters anyway. After hearing Wang Yue's words, his eyes lit up and he understood what Wang Yue meant. He looked at the sun that had not yet reached noon, and said with a smile, "Then I'll set off right away. It's further away."
After Wang Yue waited for the hamster to leave, he slowly buried the pot and cooked rice. When the sun set in the west, the army gathered the boats on the bank of the Yellow River in a hurry, and waited until they looked west to see the dazzling sun. At this time, we began to cross the river quickly.
Because the collection was relatively large and the river here was not too fast, it didn't take long for Wang Yue to personally lead more than 10,000 cavalry across the Yellow River.
While the remaining soldiers and horses were still crossing the river, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, coming towards Wang Yue. The number of people sounded like there were more than ten thousand cavalry.
Wang Yue was well prepared. He placed the prepared resisting horses in front of the formation early in the morning to protect the soldiers and horses that would land later. He personally led more than 10,000 cavalry and rushed towards the cavalry on the opposite side.
The opponent's general did not expect that Wang Yue would suddenly lead his troops to charge. It was too late for him to try to get his cavalry to eject, and the two groups of men and horses collided.
Unfortunately, because this general was too conspicuous in front of the team, Wang Yue rushed up and cut him off his horse with a single blow of his sword without mercy.
At this time, Mole also arrived with his troops and horses, cutting off the enemy's infantry's aid route. This group of leaderless cavalry quickly made dumplings.
After a while, more than half of the surrounded cavalry were killed. The remaining enemy soldiers and horses were frightened. When they saw weapons in their hands and people sitting on horses, they were killed without mercy. , the remaining soldiers quickly dismounted and surrendered.
The enemy infantry who were lagging behind started to organize resistance on the spot after being cut off. However, they were not prepared to resist the horses and suffered heavy losses when facing the cavalry.
Now seeing that all the cavalry on their side had been wiped out, they knew something was wrong. They turned around and tried to escape, but were chased by Mole and his cavalry for more than ten miles.
The enemy had no buffer time. They abandoned their armor on the way to escape, and many even surrendered on the spot.
By the time Hong Xiaoyu and Jian Fengdu led the Xizhou soldiers and horses across the Yellow River, the battle was over, and Wang Yue was cleaning the battlefield.
Seeing that Wang Yue captured several thousand more cavalry and more than ten thousand infantry, but the losses were almost negligible, Hong Xiaoyu said with a smile, "Fortunately, there are few wars in Nan Qingzhou, otherwise with Wang Jishi's tactics, the soldiers would be Sooner or later, horses will surpass me in Xizhou."
Wang Yue rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "People will always die in wars. This time, my soldiers are better equipped, but the other party tried to cover up their traces so that no one would guess. Whose soldiers and horses, armor and weapons are not very good, so my losses are not big."
After hearing this, Yu Feng smiled and said, "The soldiers and armor of Xiaoyao Valley are good, the two we changed There are more than 100,000 elites, and the combat effectiveness has been significantly improved. However, this thing is really too expensive, and we can't change all the 700,000 soldiers and horses in Xizhou." Wang Yue was speechless, and he directly stated the root cause
. , "King Xiao Nanchen is really too upright. I gave him an idea to sell the weapons eliminated by the Xizhou Army to Nanxiao or other city lords, but he was unwilling. What can I do. "
Hong Xiaoyu shook his head and said helplessly, "If all the weapons of the 700,000 soldiers and horses are sold to Nan Xiao, Nan Xiao will soon be able to organize 700,000 soldiers and horses to threaten Beichen. As for other city lords, it is better not to use them. It's better to raise tigers as a source of trouble."
Wang Yue nodded noncommittally and said with a smile, "Actually, with King Nanchen and I suppressing Nan Xiao from east to west, we are not afraid that Nan Xiao will cause trouble. Now that your Nanchen Palace is unified I won't say anything else. Regarding this attack, who do you think the troops are targeting this time?"
Hong Xiaoyu shook his head and said with some seriousness, "It's hard to say. Is it possible that one of the governors was sent on an errand to intercept and kill you, the little King of Qingzhou?"
Mole was very unhappy after hearing this, and he directly retorted, "Why didn't someone want to cut off the wings of King Xiao Nanchen and deliberately want to kill you? Where are we?"
At this time, the battlefield was almost cleaned, and Chu Shiyi and Xiao Yan also rushed over from the rear. After listening to the conversation of several people, Chu Shiyi said with a smile, "Maybe they want to rob the prisoners. "
Wang Yue glanced at Shiyi unexpectedly and said with a smile, "It seems that Shiyi learned a lot in Nanchen Palace, and he really hit the mark. It's possible that he really came here for Yang Shao, of course. , it is also what the other party wants to resolve us by the way. After all, this can make Nan Qingzhou and Xizhou suspicious of each other." Yang Shiyi
nodded, then shook his head, "Yes, it is also possible that some city lords got instructions from Zhongzhou , take the opportunity to rob the prisoners."
Wang Yue nodded, agreed with Miao Shiyi's statement, and said with a smile, "It seems that Yang Shao and Liu Changshan have been spotted by someone. Even if they are sent to Beijing, they will probably be very He will be released soon."
Hong Xiaoyu was also helpless, but he still insisted, "We will just catch him. As for the rest, it is up to your Majesty."
Wang Yue saw that Hong Xiaoyu had made up his mind, so he clicked He nodded and said proudly, "Okay, at worst, we'll catch him again."
Xiao Yan, who was wearing bald monk robes, smiled and said, "Yes, no matter where these two people go in the end, they will always be there." Anyone who becomes the target of you and King Xiao Nanchen will die anyway."
Wang Yue's men did not take much time to collect the surrendered soldiers, preparing to take them back to Nan Qingzhou for screening, and the group immediately set foot on The road to the east.
Of course it was impossible for Wang Yue. After Yang Shao and Liu Changshan were released, he found out who did it. He quickly arranged to find out the origin of this group of soldiers through undercover spies.
It didn't take long for Wang Yue to get the exact news that these soldiers were the soldiers of Taiyuan City Lord Jin Rong.
Wang Yue twitched his lips. After he showed everyone the information obtained by the spies, he said to Jiao Feng in a depressed tone, "This Jin Rong is the father of the concubine Jin in the palace. Could it be that His Majesty is planning to get us?" life?"
Yufeng twitched the corner of his mouth and said with some suspicion, "This shouldn't be the case. His Majesty wants your life. This is really possible, but he will not want the lives of General Hong and me. "
Wang Yue didn't take it seriously after hearing these heart-wrenching words, and said with a smile, "You are right to say that, there is only one possibility."
Hong Xiaoyu was frowning in thought. After hearing Wang Yue's words, he hurriedly asked, "What is possible?"
Wang Yue glanced at Yu Feng and Hong Xiaoyu, then looked back at Yu Shiyi, and then said with a smile, "Of course It is the result of the combination of several people in the palace. For example, the prince may very well want my life, and Jin Bin may have relied on the prince." After thinking for a while, Yu Feng nodded and said, "
It is really possible. Jin Bin is not favored in the palace, and the prince's position is also very embarrassing, so the two of them may really join forces."
Seeing that Feng Feng said the same thing, Hong Xiaoyu thought it might be true, and she hesitated a little. She didn't know what to do. She felt that this news should be told to Zhou Shengchen earlier. After all, Jin Rong was willing to lead troops to intercept and kill Wang Yue. She didn't need to think about it to know how critical the situation in the palace would be.
However, until there is no definite evidence for this kind of thing, it is best to keep it a secret instead of relying on other people's words. It is best for Hong Xiaoyu to go back in person, which puts her in a dilemma.
At this time, a soldier reported that the prisoner Yang Shao asked to see Wang Yue for something.
Wang Yue was a little surprised, but he also wanted to hear what Yang Shao had to say. He glanced at everyone and ordered the soldiers to bring Yang Shao over.
After Yang Shao met Wang Yue, he said respectfully, "Little King Qingzhou, I think with your ability, you have already found out where the troops came from this time. I have a merciless request." Wang Yue rolled his eyes
. , now he finally understood who Yang Shao was, he said with a smile but not a smile, "It seems that you were doing things for Jin Rong when you asked for Liu Changshan to be released."
Yang Shao did not argue, nodded and said, " I have received a letter from the Jin family, and I also intend to join him, but I asked to release Liu Changshan just to repay him for his recommendation." Wang Yue was noncommittal to Yang Shao's explanation. He smiled and said, "General
Zhou I have saved you Yongzhou, and you can turn against me and threaten me with this kind of life-saving grace. I guess you want to get something extraordinary from Liu Changshan."
Yang Shao's face turned red. He didn't expect Wang Yue to expose his trick easily, so he said with a sneer, "The little King of Qingzhou really has a bright eye. I want to get the military talisman in Liu Changshan's hand and use his soldiers and horses as a way to enter." Order."
Wang Yue looked at Yang Shao's appearance and knew that what he said this time was true, so he nodded and said, "Then what do you want to do when you come to me today?" Yang Shao glanced at Wang Yue and
said Then he said, "I would like to ask you to let Liu Changshan go and forgive the debt I owe you. I am willing to do your best."
Wang Yue glanced at Yang Shao. He would not want such a person, but he also He did not refuse directly, but said indifferently, "Liu Changshan is a prisoner in the hands of General Hong. That is a matter of the Nanchen Palace. You should go and beg him. I really can't comment." Hong Xiaoyu glanced at Yang
Shao , she was in a bit of a dilemma now. She really couldn't have a good impression of this person who had threatened his third junior brother.
Moreover, Hong Xiaoyu thought the same as Wang Yue. She also felt that this matter should be decided by her master and not by her.
However, there was still an escort mission, which made her a little hesitant as to how to choose.
Seeing that Hong Xiaoyu was in a dilemma, Naofeng smiled and said, "There is no set date for escorting the prisoner, so we will turn around and go back to Xizhou first. After reporting to King Xiao Nanchen, we will go directly to Nanqingzhou." , we have relatively few soldiers and horses, and we don’t have to go around. I think we can make it in time for the wedding between Shi Yi and Wang Prefect."
