Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 242 News from the Army
Liu Yifu and Kuai En were desperately fighting for time for the Song army to evacuate, and at this time Liu Yizhen's troops finally joined forces with Xie Hui's troops.

When Liu Yizhen saw Xie Hui from a distance, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

The same is true for Xie Hui on the opposite side.

Seeing Xie Hui's appearance as a beautiful woman in Jiankang before, Liu Yizhen joked bitterly: "Xie Shizhong's appearance today is a bit more fireworks."

Seeing that Liu Yizhen still had the mood to pay attention to his appearance, Xie Hui couldn't help laughing, so he responded, "It must be because of the smoke and fire on the battlefield, even the gods in the nine heavens cannot escape the dust of this world."

Liu Yizhen laughed, came to Xie Hui's side and looked behind him: "Where's my elder brother?"

"His Royal Highness Chu and General Kuai En are in the rear to rectify the army and come in batches. His Royal Highness Qin does not need to worry."

Only then did Liu Yizhen feel relieved and asked someone to take Xie Huibu to have a good rest, and Xie Hui was finally able to relax a little after a few days of running around.

After another half day, when the sky was about to be completely dark, Liu Yizhen faintly saw fires surging in the north.

"It must be my elder brother."

The tone of Liu Yizhen's words was finally no longer tense as before.

As long as they make peace with the Shangdang army, they can naturally withdraw to Luoyang and rely on Dahe to deal with the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After waiting for the main force of the Song army to come back from Hedong, this battle can be called a victory!
Counter-offensive is unlikely to counter-offensive.

The news of Liu Yu's death has not yet spread, but paper cannot contain the fire, and those soldiers in the army will get the news sooner or later.

There are also some forces in the southern court...

Stabilizing the country is the most important thing, rather than worrying about the gains and losses of a city and a place now.

Knowing that those Song soldiers in the distance approached.

Liu Yizhen tried his best to look for Liu Yifu's flag with his eyes wide open.

But soon his face turned pale.

No!

But how could there be no flag of the general in the army?
Liu Yizhen thought it was too dark and his eyes were dazzled, but when he searched again, he still couldn't find it!

It wasn't until the current commander of this army, that is, Kuai En's deputy general, came that Liu Yixin's insistence was completely broken.

"His Royal Highness King Qin and General Kuai En... take the initiative to stay behind and buy us time."

Immediately, it was like a bucket of cold water poured directly from the top of Liu Yizhen's head, giving him a chill.

Liu Yizhen reacted quickly, and he yelled towards the camp: "Zhu Chaoshi! The hundreds of cavalry in the army should go with Gu now! Fan Daoji! Prepare your horse! Hurry up!"

There was a sudden commotion in the army, which also disturbed Xie Hui who was resting.

When he got out of the military tent and saw Liu Yizhen was already wearing armor and riding his beloved horse Mianmian, he realized that something was wrong.

"Why is His Royal Highness King Qin doing this?"

Liu Yizhen told Xie Hui the news that Liu Yifu and Kuai En left behind, Xie Hui only felt his eyes darkened, and he couldn't even stand firmly.

He looked around, looking for a war horse to go with Liu Yizhen and others.

"Thank you servant for staying in charge of the camp!"

The current troops in the camp are all the Shangdang Song army. After a few days of forced marching, they are already exhausted, and the morale of the army is already unstable. Liu Yi really wants to keep Xie Hui in the camp.

Xie Hui could only agree at this time, otherwise the nearly [-] Song army would fall into chaos.

It was too late to arrange too many arrangements, Liu Yizhen, Zhu Chaoshi, and Fan Daoji took the hundreds of wives and cavalry that Zhu Chaoshi had saved and rushed northward with torches.

Marching in the dark inevitably stumbled. Except for Cotton, who never fell due to his excellent balance, the others more or less fell once or twice, and the speed was still unable to pick up.

It wasn't until dawn that the cavalry led by Liu Yizhen returned to normal speed and ran towards the north after the sight became clear for a few minutes.

Until noon, Fan Daoji beside him suddenly pulled the rein in Liu Yizhen's hand.

Fan Daoji raised his chin slightly, signaling Liu Yizhen to be careful.

Liu Yizhen frowned and raised his head, only to find that it was a Northern Wei scout.

It's just that this team of scouts is different from other teams. They seem to be carrying a few heavy carriages, so they look quite strenuous.

Liu Yizhen called the cavalry behind him to divide into two teams to encircle from both sides, and check whether there are other enemy troops ahead.

At this time, the Northern Wei scouts on the opposite side also spotted the cavalry in Song Army uniform. Seeing them encircling from both wings, they hurriedly shouted: "The leader of the Song Army ahead! I am here to return the relics of the Song Army to you by the order of the emperor of our country! Don't hurt us!"

After shouting, before Liu Yizhen could respond, they untied the connection between the horse and the carriage, and fled northward immediately.

"His Royal Highness, do you want to chase after him?"

"No, no need."

Although the Chinese spoken by the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty had a strong accent, Liu Yizhen still understood it.

When he heard the word "relic", his heart constricted suddenly, as if he had guessed who and what was in the carriage.

Liu Yizhen rode his horse to the side of the carriage, and the surrounding Song Army cavalry immediately formed a circle for vigilance.

After getting off the cotton, Liu Yizhen stepped on the shaft of the carriage and boarded the carriage, and raised the curtain of the carriage with a bit of fantasies.

"boom!"

Liu Yizhen's complexion turned pale in an instant, and his figure staggered so much that he almost fell off the carriage.

"His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Fan Daoji hurriedly took a step forward to support Liu Yizhen, and at the same time looked uncontrollably towards the inside of the carriage, just this one glance made his eyes tear open.

Liu Yizhen covered his dizzy and painful head and squatted on the shaft of the car, wondering what he was thinking...

Qingfeng Yanque hovered over the head of the carriage with a few wisps of dust, and refused to leave for a long time.

The sun finally broke free from the mountains on the left and right, and came to the top of the crowd.

Feeling the warm sunshine, Liu Yi really stood up again.

"His Royal Highness King Qin..."

Fan Daoji didn't dare to look Liu Yizhen in the eyes at the moment.

There were no tears on Liu Yizhen's face, and there was no sadness in his eyes, only peace.

It was as calm as the dead sea before the storm.

The calm is frightening.

"Let's go, go back."

Liu Yizhen's voice also became flat, without any emotion.

Zhu Chaoshi and Fan Daoji followed Liu Yizhen back the same way.

Back in the camp, Xie Hui saw that there were no figures of Liu Yifu and Kuai En in the team, and his eyes became dim when there were only two carriages.

"Thank you servant... for sending the carriage back to Jiankang."

"Then contact the army in Hedong as soon as possible."

The different tone from yesterday made Xie Hui feel as if he was in an ice cave when he faced Liu Yizhen again, and he didn't dare to shake his wits with Liu Yizhen again, and hurried away under orders.

And Liu Yizhen never took a step after entering his military tent.

It wasn't until the third day that Xie Hui came to Liu Yizhen's army's tent with a worried face and whispered: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang, the Hedong army...we have contacted you!"
