057. Boundless Spring
After a while, Yue Peng and Su Quandang ran to the Political Consultative Hall happily.
The two had a holiday before, but after two major battles, their relationship is now quite good. They can always hone their lives on the battlefield.
When Yue Peng entered the hall, he shouted: "Emperor, great victory, great victory, all the enemy troops have been killed! Haha!"
Zhao Dongting looked at him with blood and was still amused and laughed and said angrily: "When will your impetuous personality change? Learn more from General Su."
When Su Quandang heard this, he was immediately quite proud.
Yue Peng scratched his head and muttered: "Isn't this happy..."
Zhao Dongting naturally wouldn't be really angry with him, and asked, "Can our army's casualties be counted?"
Yue Peng scratched his head again.
Su Quandang bowed and replied, "Emperor, more than 1,800 people were killed in the five thousand imperial guards I led, and more than 1,200 injured. Those surrendered soldiers of the Yuan army should have mutiny, and there has not been any statistics yet."
When Yue Peng heard this, his face suddenly turned red and he hurriedly said, "I'll go and count it."
Then he hurriedly ran outside the Constitution Hall.
The ministers in the palace looked at it and couldn't help but smile.
Afterwards, generals came to report on the post-war situation.
Wen Tianxiang asked for an order to lead the army to clear the battlefield, but Zhao Dongting did not keep him, so he asked all the ministers to help, and he also left the Political Consultative Hall.
The battle was over and Leizhou got it, but he felt a little calmer, but he felt a strong fatigue sweeping over. He had not had a good rest for many days.
Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were much better luck than Ge Lijun. They found the warships of the original escort army by the sea and fled from Benzhou Island with hundreds of remnants.
In the evening, with the help of Zhang Shijie, the mighty army was completely destroyed, and the commander Qi Shu was captured by Liu Hongyi.
Zhang Shijie had a good impression of Liu Hongyi, who was loyal and righteous. As soon as they met, they praised him for his unparalleled loyalty and righteousness, and then said, "General Liu will come with me to meet the emperor. I will ask for me for the contributions to General Liu!"
Liu Hongyi thanked him, but said, "Thank you, Lord Zhang for your kindness, but the last general needs to lead his troops back to Leizhou. Let's talk about this later!"
Zhang Shijie was surprised when he heard this. Seeing Liu Hongyi covered in blood and exhausted, he asked, "What are you going to do when you are back in Leizhou?"
Liu Hongyi held back his sadness and said, "My wife's body is still in Gelijun's mansion, I..."
Before he finished speaking, he could no longer say anything.
When the Flying Army soldiers beside him heard Liu Hongyi say this, their eyes were red and they knelt down on the ground: "General!"
"this……"
Zhang Shijie was slightly stunned, then sighed: "General Liu's mourning."
He hurriedly said to the commander beside him: "You can quickly lead two hundred elite soldiers and follow General Liu to Leizhou Prefecture!"
Then he looked at Liu Hongyi, "Madam Zun sacrifices his life for justice. I will report to the Lord and ask the Lord to build a temple for her."
He knew that Liu Hongyi's surrender this time would definitely be valued by the emperor in the future, so he deliberately took advantage of this opportunity to make friends with him and give him favors.
Liu Hongyi was moved and bowed deeply, "I will thank you again, but Leizhou is in danger, so I will lead my confidants to come."
"Ha ha!"
When Zhang Shijie heard this, he said in surprise: "Who told you that Leizhou is dangerous?"
Liu Hongyi was a little puzzled. He didn't know that Wen Tianxiang took over Leizhou.
Zhang Shijie saw him like this and said, "The emperor's clever tricks have already asked Prime Minister Wen to lead his army to help. Now all counties along the coast of Leizhou Prefecture are under the control of Prime Minister Wen's army. I sent my personal warships to send you there because I am worried that the Prime Minister's soldiers do not recognize your banner and mistakenly regard you as a Leizhou soldiers. That would be bad."
"What happened?"
After being surprised, Liu Hongyi stopped insisting, "Then I'll bother you."
Then he entrusted his soldiers to Zhang Shijie for custody, and followed Zhang Shijie's personal army to board the ship and headed to Leizhou Prefecture.
Soon, they arrived at the Xiliu Ferry. As soon as they got off the boat, they were surrounded by Wen Tianxiang's soldiers.
Liu Hongyi showed his identity and left Zhang Shijie's personal army at the ferry, and sent several Wen Tianxiang's soldiers to Haikang County.
On the way, Liu Hongyi was sad. Although he had a great victory, his wife's death made him unable to be happy at all.
He was worthy of the king and the people and the Song Dynasty, but he was sorry for his beloved wife.
The fast horse arrived at the prefect of Haikang County. Before the fast horse could stop, Liu Hongyi hurriedly turned over and got off the horse and ran to the prefect.
The soldiers guarding the door were about to stop him, but were stopped by the soldiers escorted him.
Liu Hongyi ran to the mansion with tears in his eyes.
When we arrived at the courtyard of the palace, many families and servants of the prefecture were gathered here and were taken care of by Wen Tianxiang's soldiers.
There are still some corpses on the ground.
Liu Hongyi rushed to the corpses like crazy, looking for the remains of his wife.
The soldiers escorted him quickly explained the situation to the soldiers in the yard.
The centurion guarding soldier pondered: "Everyone in the mansion is here, General Liu's wife..."
When Liu Hongyi heard this, his burly body shook slightly, and his face suddenly disappeared without blood, and he almost fell to the ground.
He only felt that this news had drained all his strength, and even the last trace of hope was gone.
But when he saw all the corpses, he did not see his wife, and he had never seen Xiyi and the maid's corpse.
He turned around with red eyes, "Why didn't my wife see me?"
The centurion was stunned and then said slightly: "When we captured the prefecture, many people escaped while the chaos was in the chaos. Could it be that your wife also escaped while the chaos was in the chaos?"
"Is that Ge Lijun lying to me?"
Liu Hongyi felt a force gushing out of his body, and he didn't even bother to say anything, so he ran out.
His eyes were full of anxiety and hope.
When the soldiers who were escorting him chased him out of the mansion, he had already rode to the streets, but he could not catch him.
The wind whistled towards him, and Liu Hongyi was unaware of it, his eyes staring at him, and tears blurred his eyes again without realizing it.
He and Huier have been with each other for many years. Although they have no children, they love each other and have already integrated their lives into each other's hearts.
If it weren't for the Song Dynasty and the hope in his heart, Liu Hongyi might have committed suicide by wielding a knife after killing Ge Lijun on the island of Benzhou.
The horse under his crotch was running hard, and it seemed that he could feel that Liu Hongyi was anxious.
When he arrived at the door of the house, he shouted: "Hui'er! Hui'er!"
The man rolled down and got off his horse, jumped up in one go, and ran into the house. The burly general who was unstoppable to the centuries on the battlefield seemed so helpless at this time.
However, the room was empty. His shouts were rippling around the room, and no one answered.
Liu Hongyi fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands, "Hui'er... Hui'er..."
If Huier really fled from the prefecture, how could she not be at home?
Liu Hongyi couldn't help but wonder whether his wife had been secretly executed by Ke Lijun.
He did not regret it, but he hated himself, so why didn't he send Huier and the others away early?
"master!"
At this moment, an excited shout suddenly sounded outside the door.
Liu Hongyi was stunned and turned around to look. The man outside the door was that boy Xiyi.
Xiyi ran over and said, "Master, you are back! The war is over?"
Liu Hongyi's eyes burst into brightness and he grabbed his wrist tightly, "Where is Madam? Where is Madam?"
Xi Yi was pulled in pain and replied, "I hid my wife in Kangding Escort Agency."
"Okay, okay!"
The tears tense in Liu Hongyi's eyes could no longer help but burst out into his eyes. He raised his head and laughed like a devilish mania, "Hahaha..."
Xi Yi said again: "Mrs. and I were taken to the prefect of the prefect by Ge Lijun. I didn't know what happened last night, but it was suddenly in chaos outside. I took the opportunity to knock out the servants who were guarding us. I took the wife out of the prefect with the prefect. I was afraid that the soldiers would come to arrest us, so I took the wife to the Kangding Escort Agency and hid it there. Then I thought, if you come back, you can't find us, you will be worried, so I secretly ran out of the house to hide it, and wait for you to come back."
"well."
Liu Hongyi said repeatedly, looking at Xiyi with gratitude and admiration, "Let's go, take me to the Kangding Escort Agency quickly."
When he learned that his wife was not dead, he just wanted to fly to his wife immediately.
Xi Yi nodded and helped Liu Hongyi up, with a happy face, "Master, was the army that broke into the prefecture last night the emperor's army?"
Liu Hongyi did not let go of Xi Yi's hand and let him support him. His face was still surprised and he gasped, saying, "That's Prime Minister Wen's army."
After fighting all night, he experienced such great sorrow and joy, he had no strength in his body.
Seeing that the master was so tired, Xi Yi didn't ask any more questions. He helped Liu Hongyi outside and helped him get on the horse. Then the two of them went to Kangding Escort Agency.
At this moment, Liu Hongyi only felt that even the wind was sweet, not laughing loudly.
Xi Yi turned his head and looked around, thinking in his heart, "Master, are you crazy, right?"
He was still too young. I wonder what Liu Hongyi felt at this moment when he experienced hope, disappointment, despair and surprise in this short period of time.
In Liu Hongyi's eyes, the whole world was filled with spring at this moment.
