Chapter 56 - Wu Jie returns
The Home Breaker's soldiers were defending the Dazhang Pass, but when they saw Wu Jie, Wu Lin and the rest below, the soldiers above immediately let out exclamations! Not long after, countless rocks and wood were pushed up, and more and more Home Breaker Soldiers arrived at the top of the city walls, ready to fight!
Below, Wu Jie, Wu Lin and the rest were all extremely shocked. Wu Jie said in a clear voice, "I am the vice general who stood guard over the Monk Yuan, Wu Jie. We have already forced back the Jin Army! Open the gate and let us in! We pay our respects to the crown prince! "
"Nonsense! You only have a few thousand people, how can you defeat Jin Army! In my opinion, you all have not been defeated by the Jin Army, but were instead recruited by him! Now, all of you want to use tricks to open the city gates, and let the Nvzhen in! " One of the deputy Generals appeared, the deputy general said harshly.
It was no wonder why this deputy general did not believe Wu Jie's words. In his opinion, a few thousand people would definitely not be able to defeat a genuine army of tens of thousands! From his point of view, Wu Jie had definitely surrendered to the Jin Army, and this was the only explanation for Wu Jie's survival!
Hearing the voice from above, Wu Jie and Wu Lin were stunned. They had defeated Jin Army with so much effort, but the people from above did not believe them?
"I'll try again." Wu Jie said.
He thought for a while and said, "Go ask the crown prince to come down here. I want to personally report the military situation to his highness!" Since we are here, we will naturally know if what we say is true or false! "
The deputy general sneered and said, "Who are you? With your status, if you want to meet the crown prince, that is just a dream! "
No matter how Wu Jie and Wu Lin explain it below, the higher ups will only doubt it! At this point, Wu Jie and Wu Lin could only laugh bitterly!
"Big Brother, I have an idea!" Wu Lin said after a long while.
"What idea?" Wu Jie said.
"Let's cut off those dead female barbarians and bring them down to the Dazhang Pass. I don't believe that they won't believe us!" Wu Lin said.
"Not bad, that's a good idea!" Let's do it now! " Wu Jie laughed loudly.
When the two brothers brought their subordinates away, the Home Breaker soldiers above finally heaved a sigh of relief! Soon after, the whole place became a mess, with many Home Breaker Soldiers lying in the corners, lazily staying still. Some of them were even playing cards, not mentioning anything at all!
At this moment, in the Dazhang Pass's City Lord's Mansion, Zhe Keqiu was talking to Zhao Chen.
"Your Highness, the Nvzhen is just to the north of the Dazhang Pass. We should leave this place as soon as possible! " Zhe Keqiu stared at Zhao Chen and said.
Zhao Chen still did not speak, his body was still trembling, as though he was extremely afraid of the word "Nvzhen"!
"Master Fold's words are wrong. If Nvzhen wanted to come, he would have come a long time ago! Since the Nvzhen is not here, it means that there's no other problem within the Nvzhen! " Li Gang said from the side.
"What kind of problems will occur inside the Nvzhen? Heh, Li Gang, what is the meaning of your insistence on letting His Highness stay here? Did you only feel satisfied when you saw your highness the crown prince being captured by the Nvzhen? I'm afraid that you are the same as Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan, and are also a scoundrel against a thief! " Zhe Keqiu coldly snorted.
After he finished speaking, Li Gang's face was flushed red, but Li Ruoshui beside him said: "Don't argue, the shouts and shouts that came from nearby were definitely due to Nvzhen attacking the monk from before! But Nvzhen had not reached the bottom yet, which meant that Nvzhen was blocked there! Looks like this Wu Jie really has some skills, it was not in vain for His Highness the crown prince to praise him! "
"Do you think it's possible to block tens of thousands of people with just a few thousand people? Do you think that I, Zhe Keqiu, am a fool? " Zhe Keqiu said with a mocking smile.
"Whether this is real or fake, we just need to send someone to investigate!" In the past few days, the few guards beside the crown prince had wanted to go check on Shang Yuan, why are you unwilling? " Li Gang asked.
"There is no need to check these things. Nvzhen must have already taken down Monk Yuan! Now that we have to evacuate Dazhang Pass, what's the point in discussing all this? " Zhe Keqiu seemed to have been angered as he said coldly.
The room became silent for a moment, and no one spoke anymore. Zhe Keqiu and Li Gang looked at each other, their eyes filled with a cold light! Li Ruoshui stood by the side and frowned! Zhao Chen was still "trembling all over"!
Zhe Keqiu was so angry that he was unwilling to stay in a dangerous place like Dazhang Pass. After a while, he finally stood up and said, "Your Highness, I have already ordered the soldiers to prepare! We're leaving here this afternoon! If Master Li Gang and Master Li Ruoshui are not willing to leave, then we will stay in the Dazhang Pass! His Highness the Crown Prince needs to leave this place with this lowly general! "
At this time, Zhao Chen also frowned slightly. He finally spoke, and said: "Let's wait for news from Wu Jie first! Back then royal father said that he was the new rising star of the Western Army, maybe he really can block the Nvzhen! "
He looked in the direction of Monk Origin, feeling extremely helpless. He did not understand why there was still no news from Wu Jie and Wu Lin even though several days had passed. Could it be that these two had really been defeated or even killed by Nvzhen? Was he really wrong to place all his hopes on them?
It was at that moment that a loud noise suddenly came from outside the room!
Everyone in the room subconsciously stood up, Zhe Keqiu looked outside and asked: "What happened?"
A faint trace of expectation appeared in Zhao Chen's heart as he said, "Let's go out and take a look!"
Immediately, Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Zhe Keqiu and the rest headed outside, and at the same time, they could see that countless of Home Breaker Soldiers were also heading towards the direction of the walls of the Dazhang Pass!
When Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Zhe Keqiu and the rest arrived at the top of the city wall, they saw the shocking scene below!
Below, there were countless Nvzhen heads!
The heads of the Nvzhen s piled up against each other, almost turning into a small mountain!
The Home Breaker Soldiers cheered loudly. They knew that the Nvzhen had lost, and that the Nvzhen had withdrawn! They cheered because they had escaped with their lives. They no longer had to fight with Nvzhen!
"This... How can there be so many female true barbarian heads? " Zhe Keqiu said in disbelief.
"It must be General Wu Jie who defeated Jin Army! These must all be Nvzhen s he killed! " Zhao Chen said with an excited smile on his face.
He looked into the distance and saw Wu Jie, Wu Lin and a few thousand of his subordinates standing by the side, both of their faces had excitement written all over their faces! With so many heads of the Nvzhen placed here, no one could doubt that they had defeated the Nvzhen! One must know, this was the female true head of tens of thousands of people. Since the Nvzhen entered the Central Plains, there had never been such a large number of casualties! In this era, the Nvzhen had just come out of the deep mountains. Their appearances were very different from those of the people of Central Plains. Everyone could tell that this was a genuine female head, and it was definitely not a genuine female head that they casually killed!
Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and the rest were all stunned. After a long while, Li Gang finally said excitedly: "Monk's original General Wu has indeed defeated Nvzhen! That's great! General Crop, what else do you have to say? "
Zhe Keqiu's expression was complicated, he looked at Wu Jie, Wu Lin and the rest below, and could not believe what he saw! It was impossible for thousands of people to defeat a true female army of tens of thousands! He could not think of a way for these people to defeat the true female army no matter how hard he tried! Apart from the doubts in his heart, there was a complicated look of jealousy on his face! He, Zhe Keqiu, was a great general of the Western Army, and had a lofty position within the Western Army. Now that his teacher, Liu Yanqing and the others were dead, he was now the strongest person in Western Army! But as the number one of the Western Army, he could only flee as fast as the wind when facing the Jin Army. His hundred thousand plus thousand Home Breaker s did not play even the slightest role in battle! But Wu Jie was just a deputy general below, and he only had five thousand men under him, yet he defeated Jin Army and obtained such a great victory, how could he not be jealous?
"Since the Jin Army has already been defeated, we naturally do not need to leave the Dazhang Pass anymore!" After a long while, Zhe Keqiu said.
"General Crop, Wu Jie and the rest have achieved such a great victory, are you still not going to let them go?" Zhao Chen said.
Not long after, the city gates opened, and Wu Jie and Wu Lin brought their thousands of men to enter the Dazhang Pass! At this point, they received even more cheers! Although the Home Breaker was Zhe Keqiu's private army, they respected the heroes, and Wu Jie and the others were undoubtedly the heroes in their hearts!
Wu Jie, Wu Lin and the others who were being led by a few guards had already reached the city walls, and very quickly, they saw Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Zhe Keqiu and the rest who were standing there!
Wu Jie and Wu Lin immediately knelt down, and then greeted in unison: "Greetings, Your Highness, Crown Prince!"
Zhao Chen anxiously stepped forward and helped the two of them up, then laughed: "The two of you have defeated the Jin Army, and killed over ten thousand of your enemies, making yourself famous throughout the world! I want to thank you all for protecting my life! "
Wu Jie and Wu Lin were so excited and happy that there was no need to say anything more. Wu Jie said, "It is only natural that I protect your highness the crown prince! His Highness the Crown Prince has gone too far in saying the word 'thank'! "
Li Gang, who was at the side, looked at Wu Jie and Wu Lin, his heart also abnormally happy. He originally thought Wu Jie was arrogant, but he actually said so many big words! But at this moment, he finally knew that Wu Jie was truly talented! He had to help the crown prince win over a truly capable general!
Li Gang immediately said: "Your Highness, General Wu has obtained such a great victory, how can he still hold the position of a mere deputy general? In this humble subject's opinion, a rule cannot be lacking! "
The Overseer was already a high ranking official in the army of the Song Dynasty, and was only second to the Overseer and Overseer! Hearing this, Wu Jie became even more joyous! Defeating the enemy in a single battle and becoming famous in the world was a benefit to their reputation. If they could obtain the position of 'Overseer' now, it would be a true advantage! These two brothers were different from Yue Fei. Although they were equally loyal, they were definitely not as stubborn as Yue Fei. They were also abnormally eager to get an official position!
Zhao Chen nodded his head, he was just about to open his mouth to bestow the two of them a position, when Zhe Keqiu suddenly spoke out: "General Wu's contribution is indeed worthy of a position, but in order to bestow a position, only His Majesty has the authority! Now that His Majesty has been captured by the Jin Army, we can only wait until His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future before bestowing this position to General Wu! "
With his words, Zhao Chen, Li Gang and the rest were unable to refute him! Indeed, although Zhao Chen was the crown prince, the crown prince did not bestow any authority to him! He had yet to register officially, so he couldn't break the rules! The Song Dynasty valued laws and regulations the most, if Zhao Chen, the crown prince were to do it, it would be hard for him to accept everyone!
Wu Jie was also somewhat depressed in his heart, but when he thought about it again, Zhe Keqiu was right! Now that Zhao Chen was the crown prince, he did not have such authority!
"General Wu must have worked hard. You should enter the Dazhang Pass to have a good rest first! Then we'll discuss the strategy for the next step! " Li Gang laughed.
Wu Jie nodded his head, these past few days had indeed been extremely tiring! On the battlefield, he had many things to think about. These past few days, he hadn't slept at all! In addition, the supplies they brought to Monk Origin were limited. This morning, they did not have any food, and in the morning, they had almost no food. Now, they were extremely hungry!
Someone then brought Wu Jie, Wu Lin and the rest to rest first, leaving Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Li Ruoshui, Zhe Keqiu and the others to rest!
Zhe Keqiu looked around at the chaotic situation of the Home Breaker, frowned, and said: "Crown Prince, everyone, I need to take care of the military affairs first! Tomorrow morning, we will discuss what to do next! "
After he finished speaking his goodbyes and leaving, Zhao Chen looked at his back, and only after he had disappeared did Zhao Chen say: "Teacher, for Wu Jie to have such a great victory, it can be seen that his ability is extraordinary! Do you think we can rely on Wu Jie to fight against him? "
