Chapter 35: Parting ways

Although there was a conflict with Mu Yi and others outside the valley, Zheng Yanqing did not feel much disgusted with Mu Yi.

He also knew why Mu Yi made things difficult for him, so he didn't take it to heart.

When Mu Yi said righteously, "Eat the king's fortune and relieve his worries", Yan Qing developed a little affection for him. A real man should serve the country! There is no mistake at all... But the problem is that Zheng Yanqing does not want to stand up and act as a hero.

In Liaodong, what is the current situation?

Yanqing, who is in the heart of Goguryeo, is unknown.

But if you go to Liaodong at this time, you will face a catastrophe. Yan Qing did not want to win, but in this war, he was powerless. He could not control Emperor Yang of Sui, nor could he control his own power. Even for a period of time, he could not control Zheng Hongyi. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Zheng Hongyi not to rush too far, but in the end, Zheng Hongyi did not listen.

Mu Yi was furious, "Zheng Yanqing, you should be punished as a traitor!"

Cui Shanfu frowned, as if he was not very satisfied with Zheng Yanqing's attitude. "Person Zheng, according to your words, will he not pursue the humiliation of today's miserable defeat?"

"I knew you were a coward."

Feng Zhidai said with a sarcastic meaning, and then said to Zheng Hongyi and Xie Ke: "What about you? Do you still have to follow the coward's ideas?"

Zheng Hongyi's tone was calm, "I don't know if Yan Qing is a coward. I only know that he didn't have to fall into this damn mountain, but in order to save me, he killed from Nanshui and fought for a night. Not only did he save me, but he also saved many people. He saved my life. I will support him regardless of what Yan Qing chooses... And you, you are also worthy of his power, and you are not qualified to accuse him of what to do."

Choi Shanfu was silent.

Mai Zizhong's face was very awkward.

Feng Zhidai opened her mouth and finally didn't speak again...

Mu Yi stomped his feet hard, "Since that's the case, we go our separate ways and go our separate ways.

You are a hero, so let me leave here. Let’s go towards Liaodong, and as long as we join the army, we can avenge our today.”

He spoke to the people in the valley.

Because from the surface, more than 200 people in the valley had already had a full meal and recovered from the defeat last night. Although Mu Yi had more than 300 people under him, he had just escaped from the battlefield. He was hungry and his morale was low, and he was just in need of the new force to join.

Zheng Yanqing sat back in the distance and used a fire stick to stir up the bonfire.

He said calmly: "If you want to make achievements, please follow Mu Duwei and others; but if you want to go home, I will take you back."

He was not angry or hissing.

At this time, you can save a little effort, so you can save a little effort.

Dozens of people stood up from the Guzhong army. Hesitantly walked to Zheng Yanqing, intervened in salute, and retreated behind Mu Yi.

Yan Qing seemed to have not seen him, but Zheng Hongyi was extremely angry.

He was about to get up to scold Mu Yi, but Zheng Yanqing grabbed him.

"I won't stop you from building achievements.

If you want to leave, I wish you a great journey... But if you stay, you should not be distracted. Although I promise to take you back, if I change my mind halfway through, I don’t mind leaving you in this foreign country. Where to go, do your best to make plans and don’t repent.”

Dozens of people stood up, saluted Yanqing, and retreated behind Mu Yi.

Yan Qing's side originally had three hundred people. But two groups of people left one after another, and only more than one hundred people were left, almost half of them. Fortunately, none of the tiger guards under Yan Qing's command left. Xiongkuohai Kan Ling leaned against the edge of the valley, closing her eyes to rest.

Mu Yi glared at Zheng Yanqing hatefully, "Person Zheng, what you did today, I will report the truth in the future."

Yan Qing raised his head and smiled, "Master Mu, go all the way."

Report to the court?

You should go back alive first... I vaguely remember that in the history books, hundreds of thousands of Sui army participated in the war in Liaodong. Except for Wei Wensheng's army with more than 3,000 people, the rest of the troops were almost wiped out. The history books say that the Sui army only fled back from Liaodong. It may be a bit exaggerated... But the losses are heavy, but there is no doubt that from Pyongyang to Liaodong, it is necessary to break through the numerous encirclements, which is extremely dangerous. Whether you can reach Liaodong alive is a question. If you can really reach Liaodong, you are capable.

Mu Yi was furious and turned around and left.

Cui Shanfu hesitated for a moment and bowed, "Take care of Mr. Zheng."

"Brother Cui, take care of yourself."

Mai Zizhong walked forward and stared at Zheng Yanqing quietly for a long time.

"Mr. Zheng, Erlang's words just now are offensive, so please don't blame me. I don't know why you didn't go far to Liaodong to join the army to clean up the humiliation today. However, I know that you are not afraid of life and death, but you must have a hidden secret.

Mai is grateful for your life-saving grace. However, if I cannot wash away my shame today, I will never be able to stand in the world in the future... I am really sorry that I cannot fight side by side with Master Zheng. I wish Master Zheng a smooth return home and greet me on my behalf."

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Zheng Yanqing suddenly called him.

"Shen Guang, bring the yellow horse over."

Shen Guang hesitated for a moment and turned around and left. After a while, he led the yellow horse and handed the reins to Zheng Yanqing.

Yan Qing handed the horse to Mai Zizhong.

"Young Master Mai, you are also a hero. No matter what misunderstandings we had in the past, we will erase them today.

If you want to make achievements, I can't stop you. Everyone has their own ambitions... But the saint said: If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. You need to travel thousands of miles from Pyongyang to Liaodong. If you don't have good foot strength, I'm afraid that even if you go to Liaodong, you will find it difficult to make a difference. This yellow horse is also a good horse in the BMW, and it would be a pity to stay with me. I am giving you a gift to you. I wish you can make achievements."

If a general does not have good foot strength, it is like breaking his feet.

Maizizhong lost his weapons first in Pyongyang and then died, and he was about to find a good horse.

He was not polite, and took the Huang Pima and bowed to Zheng Yanqing to say goodbye. Feng Zhidai followed him and left. Feng Guo hesitated for a moment, took off the deer-skin bag on his body, walked slowly to Zheng Hongyi, and whispered: "Person Zheng, there is a golden medicine in this bag, you can take it with you. Remember, changing the medicine every three days will be done soon... You will remember your life-saving grace.

If there is a chance, see you again.”

In Pyongyang City, Zheng Hongyi fought to the death for his love for the chariot. As for Feng Guo, it was indeed a life-saving grace.

Zheng Hongyi took the bag and whispered: "Feng Guo, take care of yourself."

Feng Guo had a pretty face and showed a bright smile.

"Young Master Zheng, take care of yourself."

After saying that, he turned his head and took a few steps, and soon caught up with Feng Zhidai and Mai Zizhong. Looking at his departure back, Zheng Hongyi felt a little sad for some reason.

Zheng Yanqing walked to Zheng Hongyi and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hongyi, you eat something and rest for a while. After midnight, we will set off."

Zheng Hongyi was stunned and blurted out: "Can you leave so quickly?"

"Fast?"

Yan Qing smiled, "I'm afraid someone will be faster than us!"

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Zheng Hongyi, but ordered everyone to count the number. After more than 100 people left, there were 158 people left in the valley. Among them, there were more than 40 crossbowmen and more than 40 tiger guards. The rest were mostly platoons and sailors.

There are about seventy or eighty horses, which is enough to use.

After discussing with Xie Ke for a while, Yan Qing decided to include the cavalry under Zheng Yanqing's command. The crossbowmen, the platoons and the sailors were dispersed and divided into two teams.

Xie Ke led a team of men, and Dou Xiaowen led a team of men.

Chen Guang was responsible for taking care of Zheng Hongyi, Kan Ling and Xiong Kuohai, and followed Zheng Yanqing.

After such division, it was refreshing. Whether it was Section Chief Xie Yu Zhijun, Dou Xiaowen also went from Huozheng to the current brigade coach, with rich experience. They knew how to lead the troops. As for Qing's Hu Guards, they mainly used maneuvering, removed all heavy armor and replaced them with light cavalry to attack. Although the impact force was not as good as the previous armoured riding equipment, the maneuverability and flexibility were greatly increased.

The distance from Pyongyang to Silla is also not close.

For long-distance raids, mobility and flexibility are essential. Zheng Yanqing does not feel sorry for the impact of the armor-dressing riding equipment.

After the Xu hour, Feng Guo entered the valley again.

"Young Master Zheng, Young Master Mai asked me to tell you that we are ready to set off!"

Zheng Yanqing didn't find it strange, and smiled slightly, "Take care all the way."

Feng Guo handed a roll of cowhide map to Zheng Yanqing, "Young Master Mai said, if you go to Silla from here, you will be in trouble if you don't have a map. This is a map issued by the army. Although it may not be accurate, it is hundreds of times better than the map you used before. Mr. Mai also asked me to tell you that although the Silla people have a covenant with our dynasty, the Silla Jin family is a capricious person, so you must be careful."

The Silla King family is also the Silla royal family.

Now the king of Silla, named Jin Bojing, is the 26th generation king of Silla. He had previously had many alliances with the Sui Dynasty, intending to attack Goguryeo. In the 18th year of Kaihuang, Silla again submitted an alliance with Emperor Wen of Sui. However, after Emperor Wen of Sui took action, Jin Bojing was reluctant to launch troops. Later, due to various reasons, Emperor Wen of Sui finally failed to use troops to Goguryeo again, but the capriciousness of Silla made Emperor Wen of Sui and even the successor Emperor Yang of Sui felt very disgusted.

Yan Qing nodded, "Please thank Mr. Mai on my behalf."

"So goodbye!"

Feng Guo hurriedly left, Zheng Yanqing stood there and opened the map.

The path to Silla was clearly marked on the map. After Yan Qing read it, he felt more or less confident.

Regardless of whether you can succeed through Silla, it is the most appropriate way at present.

After all, there are not many levels along the way from Pyongyang to Silla, and all the attention of the Goguryeo people is betting on Liaodong, so they may not be able to take into account the movements of Silla. However, Yan Qing still wrote down Mai Zizhong's words, and Silla Jinshi cannot believe them all...

It’s not just because the Silla people once said nothing.

In fact, the Silla people were the ancestors of the kangzi in later generations. Many people in later generations believed that the Goguryeo were kangzi, but it was not.

In terms of bloodline, the Goguryeo people were just an ethnic minority living in Liaodong, composed of the Bang and Fuyu people. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, they entered the Korean Peninsula from Liaodong. However, the Korean indigenous people retreated to the eastern part of the Korean Peninsula, and later gradually formed Silla and Baekje, and stood in a three-legged relationship with the Goguryeo people. Yan Qing had no good impression of the extremely shameless nation of Bangzi.

But now, it is undoubtedly the safest way to borrow from Silla.

He watched Mu Yi, Mai Zizhong and others leave, and looked at the sky, and it was already past midnight.

So he woke everyone up and lined up in the valley. Yan Qing stepped on his jade hooves, held a heavy spear, and glanced at the three teams of people, feeling a lot of emotion.

I don’t know how many of these 158 people can return to the Central Plains alive?

He took a deep breath and showed a bright smile. He raised his horse spear into the air. The head of the spear shone with a deep cold light in the bright moonlight.
