Chapter 503: A surprising detour

The thick fog dissipates, the sun rises, and everything in the world becomes clear again.

The mudflats at Wangjia Ferry Crossing on the south bank of the Wei River were filled with broken arms and limbs. The bloody corpses seemed to be still telling how tragic the war was not long ago.

A group of crows hovered back and forth in the air, making shrill screams. If they hadn't been afraid of the Han soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield below, they would have rushed down to plunder delicious food.

Fang Jing lay on the ground and gasped heavily. After the disaster, he felt that today's sunshine was particularly warm, and it was indescribable to sprinkle on his body. It seemed that even the pain from the wounds everywhere was blocked by this comfort.

"Person Fang, Captain Fang, I tell you where Captain Fang has gone. It turns out that he is lying here to bask in the sun. This makes it easy to find Feng." Feng Chong turned over and dismounted, walked to him and said with a smile.

Fang Jing stood up with difficulty, clasped his fists and said, "I have met General Feng."

"Hey, Captain Fang is injured, so there is no need to be too polite. Come on, let's sit down and talk." Seeing that a wound on his body was still oozing blood, Feng Chong waved his hand and helped him sit on the ground.

Fang Jing said: "It should be. If the general had not come to help in time, Bei Yi would have been loyal to the country. I would never forget my life-saving grace. After Bei Yi's injury heals, I will definitely thank you for the big week."

"It's all my brothers, so Captain Fang doesn't have to be so polite."

Feng Chong refused, and then sighed: "Oh, General Qi and I thought it was too late. If we had discovered the Wei army's treacherous plan to support him earlier, Wang Jiadu would not have sacrificed so many robes."

"The general does not have to blame himself. This fact is because the Wei thieves were too treacherous and the help of the fog made them lucky to hide the scouts from coming here to launch a raid. Although our troops lost more than half of their losses today, it is worth keeping the ferry without losing anyway."

Having said that, Fang Jing thought of the arrangement of more than 500 people in his hand, and now there were only more than 100 people left, and he couldn't help feeling sore. In an instant, the tiger's eyes were filled with tears and he almost burst into tears. But then he remembered that Feng Chong was still beside him, so he held back his tears.

Feng Chong couldn't help feeling sad when he saw Fang Jing's appearance. He patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, the great man will not forget these loyal ministers who sacrificed their lives for the country. When the entire war is over, the envoy Yang will definitely put the spiritual positions of the fallen soldiers into the Zhongyi Temple, so that their heroic spirits will be sacrificed by the world forever."

After the first Northern Expedition, Yang Qing suggested to Zhuge Liang that he chose a place to build a Zhongyi Temple on the north bank of the Mianshui River to worship the spiritual throne of soldiers who died for the country, so as to inspire morale and gather the morale of the army.

Although this suggestion was opposed by some pedantic scholars who adhered to the etiquette system, Yang Qing finally successfully requested the court to pass it with the support of Zhuge Liang.

The Zhongyi Temple was completed at the end of last year. At that time, the second Northern Expedition was over. Zhuge Liang returned to the court to stay in Hanzhong and wrote the four words "Zhenyi Qianqiu". Hanzhong Prefect Ma Su immediately ordered people to make plaques and hang them on the lintel of the main hall of Zhongyi Temple.

Of course, since Ji Han founded the country, the soldiers who died in wars have also begun to enter the Zhongyi Temple to receive incense and worship from the world. Once this move was implemented, it immediately boosted the morale of the entire Han army. All the soldiers were grateful, and as a result, everyone died and their combat power increased greatly.

The reason why the defenders at Wangjia Ferry today are all brave and fearless and fight to the death is inspired by the Zhongyi Temple to worship the spiritual seat. When Fang Jing heard Feng Chong's words about this, he felt much more relieved and his grief was relieved.

The two of them talked for a while, and suddenly a horse rushed to the front. The scout above tied the reins, turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and said, "General, the Wei army on the other side has set off."

"Oh? Which direction did they go?" Feng Chong asked.

The scout replied, "I've gone west, and it seems that I'm going back to Taipingdu Camp."

"Well, this is probably the case. You continue to monitor and report any abnormal movements from the bandits." Feng Chong said.

The scout bowed and replied, "No." Then he turned over the horse, turned his head, and galloped away.

"General Feng, since the Wei army is going to withdraw from Taiping Ferry, should we send someone to notify General Qi so that he can prepare?" Fang Jing said.

Feng Chong said: "I want to notify you, but there is no need to send someone here, because General Qi is probably about to arrive at the Wang Family Ferry."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud sound of horse hooves coming from behind. Feng Chong stood up and looked back, but he saw hundreds of riders galloping towards him, and Qi Hu was the one who led him.

"Person Fang, look, General Qi and the others have arrived." Feng Chong pointed at the cavalry team that was getting closer and closer and said with a smile.

Qi Huchi went nearby and turned over and went down to the ground. Then he threw the reins to the guards next to him. Then he walked quickly towards Feng Chong and the others, while saying with lingering fear: "Oh, Brother Feng, this battle in the morning was really dangerous. We almost came to Yan and that guy's words."

"Yes, if the Captain Fang and his friends had not fought to the death, I'm afraid the Wang family ferry had already fallen into the hands of the Wei army at this time. This battle was really thanks to them, otherwise our army would be in danger." Feng Chong said.

Seeing that he praised his subordinates so much, Qi Hu felt both sad and proud. He looked at Fang Jing, who was covered in wounds and said with relief: "Well, you did a good job and did not embarrass us Wudang Feijun. When you meet Yang Envoy later, you will ask you for merit in front of him."

"The reason why Bei Zhi dared not take credit for this battle was mainly because General Feng and his team reinforcements were promptly. If they came a little later, Bei Zhi would never be able to stop the thief army." Fang Jing said.

Qi Hu nodded and said, "Well, General Feng and the others have made great contributions. If Brother Feng had not prepared in advance, added a few more whistle cavalry and shortened the time for military information transmission, reinforcements would not have come so quickly."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha, brother, I am also a blind cat, and I have encountered a dead mouse. How come I have prepared in advance? This is really a gild on my face."

Feng Chong smiled and said modestly, and then said seriously: "I just heard from my brother that I would see Yang Envoy later. Why, the envoy is here?"

"Yes, General, isn't Yang Envoy leading troops to attack Chang'an now? How can we come to us?" Fang Jing also reacted at this time and asked in confusion.

Qi Hu said: "I don't know the specific situation. I just came to reinforce the army and suddenly received an order from Yang Envoy, saying that he had led his troops to the south bank of the Wei River, asking us to hold the Yan He tribe in front of us, and wait for the main army to detour to the north bank and attack the Wei army together."

"So that's it. The commander's use of troops is indeed a natural and unexpected!" Feng Chong couldn't help but exclaim.

Fang Jingqi said: "Since the envoy led his troops to this place, does that mean that Chang'an will not fight? I wonder if there is any army restraint in Chang'an. If not, Cao Zhen and others in the city will be out of trouble."

"This is not something we are considering. You have his own purpose in doing this. We can execute military orders without too much speculation." Qi Hu said.

"Yes, I understand."

Qi Hu asked again: "By the way, what is the situation of the Wei army now?"

"Just just about to inform me that the scout had reported that the Wei army had retreated to the west. I guess they wanted to return to Taipingdu Camp to rest."

"It should be like this. We are tired of defending after a fight, and they are also tired of attacking. It is believed that Yan and this guy dare not fight again in a short time." Qi Hu said.

Feng Chong said: "But just in case, we should still rush back to Taipingdu camp as soon as possible. After all, we must strictly order us to monitor the movements of the Wei army, so we can no longer be careless."

Qi Hu nodded and said, "It's not too late. Brother Feng, let's go back to Taipingdu to keep an eye on the Wei army and prevent them from using tricks."

"good."
