Chapter 49 - Yang Congyi
Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Yue Fei and the rest were all galloping their horses forward!
They already knew that the female army was about to arrive, and there was a trace of anxiety on their faces.
"Zhe Yanzhi will lead fifty thousand soldiers to stop the Nvzhen. I wonder if they can stop him?" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid Zhe Yanzhi does not have that capability!" Yue Fei said.
"Zhe Yanzhi is ambitious and lacking in talent, he is bold and unscrupulous! The Nvzhen has always been fierce, and how powerful was the path of seed masters back then? Even they were not Nvzhen's match, how could he stop the Nvzhen? " Li Gang said.
"I hope that he can delay the speed of Nvzhen's army a little!" Zhao Chen sighed softly.
They simply did not expect that Zhe Yanzhi had not even achieved his goal of delaying the female True God's advance. Not only had he lost fifty thousand Home Breaker Soldiers s for nothing, his soldiers had even leaked the direction in which Zhao Chen and the others had escaped in! Right now, Jin Wushu was no longer chasing after the defeated soldiers, but was chasing after the direction of the Middle Han Area!
It was snowing heavily all over the sky and Zhao Chen's entire body had already turned white. The scene in front of his eyes was a vast expanse of whiteness.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard from behind him again. A middle-aged man riding a horse was heading towards him, Yue Fei had already looked behind him!
"It's big brother!" Yue Fei said.
So the person who came was Yue Fei's sworn brother, Wang Gui!
At the moment, Wang Gui had already caught up with them, causing Wang Gui's face to turn ugly. He quickly asked: "What happened?"
Wang Gui said: "Your Highness, Zhe Yanzhi has already been defeated! The Nvzhen caught up again! They are heading in the direction of the Middle Han Area! "
"What!?" So fast? Zhe Yanzhi should have just interacted with the Nvzhen not long ago, but he actually lost? " Zhao Chen said in disbelief.
Li Gang, Yue Fei and the rest had looks of disbelief on their faces! Logically, with Zhe Yanzhi's fifty thousand army, his fifty thousand army should have been able to rest there for a while, just waiting! Furthermore, the Song Army was familiar with the local terrain. With the arrival of the Nvzhen, even if they were not Nvzhen's match, they would not be defeated so easily!
How could they believe this news?
"Your Highness, that Zhe Yanzhi is really muddleheaded! Home Breaker was extremely tired, he actually still wanted to urge his soldiers to welcome him! On the plains, he actually let the Home Breaker's infantry meet the cavalry! Seeing the arrival of the Female Genuine Cavalry, he actually did not allow the soldiers to hide in the advantageous terrain! Therefore, he had been utterly defeated just after coming into contact! I really don't understand, is he really Zhe Keqiu's son? How could Zhe Keqiu give birth to such a useless son? " Wang Gui was furious!
"So you're saying, the Nvzhen is getting closer and closer to us … … At most, they will be able to catch up to us before nightfall! " Zhao Chen said.
"That's right!" Wang Gui nodded.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's move forward quickly!" There are still a hundred thousand Home Breaker behind us. Even if we have to kill them all, it would take us some time to escape! "Let's go!" Zhao Chen said loudly.
"Your Highness, I'm going to the back to continue gathering information!" Wang Gui said again.
"You must be tired from the journey! General Wang, I will have to trouble you this time! " Zhao Chen looked at Wang De and said.
"I will not refuse to serve Your Highness!" Wang De nodded, turned his horse and headed towards the north!
They kept moving forward, but news of Nvzhen on the road kept spreading to them! They were even more confident in the whereabouts of Nvzhen than Zhe Keqiu, and it was precisely because Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Wang De and the rest were here! These people were all Innate Rankers, they were responsible for investigating the situation. Naturally, they were much stronger than the spies under Zhe Keqiu.
"Zhe Keqiu must have received the news already. What will he do?" Zhao Chen said.
"He will definitely arrange for the rest to stop the army of the female army, or his army of one hundred thousand will be completely annihilated!" Yue Fei said.
"Who else is under him?" Zhao Chen said.
"Zhe Keqiu's son, Zhe Yanwen, may be weak, but he is quite smart, far surpassing his younger brother. In this old official's view, it should be Zhe Yanwen leading the troops to stop the true female army!" Li Gang said from the side.
Zhao Chen nodded his head, the wind and snow were raging, and at the moment, he was no longer speaking, but urging his horses forward! Not too far away from them were the cavalry of the Home Breaker. At this moment, the cavalry of the Home Breaker was closely following them, protecting their safety!
The sky was getting darker. It was probably already afternoon and the Nvzhen had not caught up yet!
Just then, a sound of weapons clashing came from ahead of them. Zhao Chen, Li Gang and the rest were all shocked! The Home Breaker Cavalry soldiers beside them had already charged forward to welcome them!
"What happened? Could the Nvzhen be in front? " Zhao Chen said.
"That's impossible! Unless the Nvzhen has wings, they won't be able to charge in front of us! " Li Gang said.
After a while, the sounds of weapons clashing stopped, and a few Home Breaker cavalry soldiers led their group over.
The one leading them was one of the Home Breaker s, the Kang An that Zhao Chen had seen before!
At this moment, Kang An had already rushed to the front of Zhao Chen and the rest. He jumped down from the horse and knelt down, and said: "Your Highness, we have met reinforcements!"
Zhao Chen was startled, he immediately got down from the horse. He first pulled Kang An up and said: "You are in the army, carry out military affairs, and do not kneel! Tell me, where did the reinforcements come from? "
He pulled Kang An up, and Kang An's heart was extremely grateful! In the past few days, when he had interacted with Zhao Chen and the others, he had already felt Zhao Chen's amiability. In his heart, he was already very close to the crown prince, and this feeling of intimacy was even stronger!
Kang An immediately said, "Ahead of us is the Twelfth Lieutenant General of Jing Yuan Road!"
Zhao Chen was startled, he naturally knew of the path of origin, it was a famous faction of the Western Army! Once upon a time, the path of seed teachers was to guard the separated source. After the path of seed teachers, the Curved End would guard the separated source! There were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the Curved End.
"Twelfth Lieutenant General?" What's his name? " Zhao Chen said.
However, he found the position of "Twelfth Lieutenant General" extremely interesting! In the past, he had heard of assistant generals and deputy generals, but he had never heard of deputy generals and deputy generals who had suddenly reached the twelfth rank! It seemed like this person was of a very low status in the Pingyuan Army!
"This lowly general doesn't know his name either!" Kang An said.
"How many people are there? Have all the soldiers from the Pingyuan Army arrived? " Zhao Chen said with some expectation.
If all the Pingyuan troops were to arrive, it might not be impossible to stop the Jin Army!
"Your Highness, how could all the soldiers from the Pingyuan Army be here? If they were in Jingyuan City, they probably wouldn't have heard about the fall of Tongguan or Chang An! It was said that the Twelfth General only belonged to the Pingyuan Army in name, but he was actually a high-ranking officer of Shu. He did not know why he had come here! "This high-ranking officer of Shu has at most a few thousand troops under his command!" Kang An said.
"Thousands of soldiers and horses?" Zhao Chen was disappointed! If there were only a few thousand of them, it would have been impossible to stop the female Genuine Soldiers!
"Your Highness, they're here!" Kang An pointed to the back.
The group of people behind them had already arrived, they were also wearing the clothes of the Song Army, so it was obvious that they already knew Zhao Chen's identity!
This group of people walked over to Zhao Chen and knelt down!
Zhao Chen helped them all up and smiled. "Which one of you is the twelfth vice general? I would like to thank you all for coming to our rescue! "
The leader of the group was a middle-aged general. When this middle-aged general looked at Zhao Chen, his eyes revealed a mixture of fanaticism, excitement and excitement! Seeing the look in his eyes, Zhao Chen immediately understood that this man was a loyal general like Yue Fei! In this era, other than generals like Zhe Keqiu and Liu Guangshi, who had committed heinous crimes, there were also generals like General Yue Fei who viewed "loyalty" as the most important thing! In the hearts of these loyal generals, loyalty was the foundation of their character, and loyalty was to the Emperor. If the Emperor was not present, then that meant loyalty was to the Crown Prince! In the hearts of these people, Zhao Chen, the current crown prince, was a symbol of the nation, representing this country! To be loyal to the Crown Prince was to be loyal to the country!
Seeing this gaze, Zhao Chen was overjoyed. No matter what, he had met a loyal subordinate here!
"General Yang Congyi greets His Highness the Crown Prince! This lowly general is not the Twelfth General of the Road, he is this lowly general's superior! " The leading middle-aged general actually knelt down again, and said.
"Get up! It seems that from now on, I will abolish the military's kneeling ceremony! If you were to march and fight, you would kneel down at any moment, how much of a waste of time would that hold you up? " Zhao Chen laughed.
"Your highness cherishes your subject, this is your fortune!" However, gifts must not be wasted! " The middle-aged general said after he stood up.
Zhao Chen laughed, he knew that this man was as stubborn as Yue Fei! As for the name Yang Congyi, Liu Ming did not know why, but he felt that this name was quite familiar. It seemed that he might have seen this name in the modern era! To be able to leave his name in the history books, he had to be someone extraordinary in this era. At the very least, he had to be someone outstanding. It seemed like this Yang Congyi was not a simple person!
However, he did not know that Yang Congyi was a military general in the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty. After that, he managed the area, and he set up schools and constructed water conservancy. He had quite a bit of reputation amongst the people.
"Who's your boss? "How many men and horses did you bring?" Zhao Chen said again.
"My superior is Wu Jie, he was training in Sichuan, and when he heard that the Jin Army could go south, he brought us north! We have over 5,000 people under our command! " Yang Congyi said.
"Wu Jie!" Zhao Chen was instantly stunned!
