The world of film and television begins with Ning'an as a dream

Wang Yue saw that Lin Xie was still guessing about the situation in the capital, so he said helplessly, "General, the worst thing you did on this expedition was to bring Xiao Shu with you. If you and your son died together, the Red Flame Army would no longer exist.

Now is not the time to get to the bottom of things. We still have to think about what to do next. It is impossible for our 3-strong army to be stationed here. If we wait for Xie Yu to recover and let Xia Jiang mobilize troops from other places, we will not be able to escape even if we want to.

Moreover, if the Marshal or Xiao Shu cannot return to the camp in time, those auxiliary troops may be taken over by others with just an imperial decree."

Lin Shu also realized that those auxiliary soldiers were not veterans of the Red Flame Army, and their loyalty was not that high. He said excitedly, "Father, we have two urgent things to do.

First, someone must go to the capital to tell the Crown Prince what happened here. The Red Flame Army must not be labeled as traitors.

Second, the Red Flame Army must survive, so that our Lin family will have hope."

Of course Lin Xie knew that what his son said was absolutely right. However, if his dozen deputy generals had not died and he had not been injured so seriously, he could immediately return to the Chiyan Army camp, let Xiao Shu return to Kyoto, and let other generals lead the 30,000 troops. But what should he do now?

Lin Xie looked around and found that most of his generals had died or been injured in order to protect him and Xiao Shu. Now the one with the highest position and the best prestige was Wang Yue, a captain who did not participate in this operation.

He had a very deep impression of Wang Yue's determination to leave last time, and felt that even if he wanted Wang Yue to take up the banner of the Red Flame Army, he must leave Wang Yue with no way out.

He thought for a moment, then said to Lin Shu seriously, "Xiao Shu, you lead 3,000 cavalrymen all the way east, bypass Nanyang and go through Jiangxia back to the Jingzhou camp. I guess Xia Jiang and Xie Yu's sneak attack was definitely not publicized, and you will not be intercepted along the way. After you settle the troops in the camp in Jingzhou, go and see the situation in Kyoto. It would be great if you can get your mother to the palace to find the Queen Mother. Only the Queen Mother can protect our Lin family."

Of course Lin Shu also knew about it. He didn't think that the prince would be in trouble, but he also understood that the emperor would not listen to anything the prince said at this time. Only by letting the empress dowager pressure the emperor with filial piety could the Lin family survive.

But he was still a little hesitant, so he asked uncertainly, "I know what will happen to you and the Red Flame Army after I leave?"

Lin Xie smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "I'm not dead yet, am I? And your big brother Wang is here, so there will be no problem. If it weren't for big brother Wang saving us, we would never have escaped."

Of course, it’s not that Lin Shu doesn’t trust Wang Yue, but Wang Yue came from a poor family and was not influenced by him since childhood, so he might not know much about military tactics.

He was worried that Wang Yue originally only commanded more than 3 soldiers and horses, and now he suddenly had an army of more than and he would not be able to control it.

However, all the old generals who followed Lin Xie died one by one, and Nie Feng and others who followed him were also seriously injured, so he couldn't find a suitable candidate.

If Wang Yue were allowed to return to Kyoto, it would probably have no effect. He might even be killed by Xia Jiang and not be able to enter the Lin family.

He could only stand up and bow to Wang Yue first, then said to Wang Yue very seriously, "Brother Wang, everything here depends on you."

Wang Yue quickly stood up and returned the greeting, solemnly assuring, "Xiao Shu, just rest assured. I dare not boast about anything else. If you can come back within a month, I will definitely hand over the remaining 30,000 troops of the Lin family army to you intact."

Seeing that Wang Yue spoke so seriously and did not exaggerate, Lin Shu felt relieved. He hurriedly gathered the war horses, selected three thousand strong soldiers, and had two horses each, and headed east.

After Lin Shu had been gone for a day, Lin Xie knew that he could not catch up with him, so he called Wang Yue to his side again. He tremblingly took the seal of command from his arms, and placed it solemnly in Wang Yue's hand, saying very solemnly, "Xiao Yue, the future of the Red Flame Army is entrusted to you."

Wang Yue looked at the heavy seal and said hastily, "Marshal, what are you talking about? You should take care of yourself and wait for Xiao Shu to come back and give him the seal."

Lin Xie shook his head with difficulty and said helplessly, "Things are not that simple. I didn't finish what I said to Xiao Shu just now. Something must have happened in the capital. Maybe the Lin family and even the prince's mansion have been sealed off.

I asked Xiao Shu to take 3,000 cavalrymen to stabilize the camp, just to seek a glimmer of hope. As for Kyoto, I'm afraid it will be too late for Xiao Shu to rush there after he stabilizes the camp.

If the worst comes to the worst and even the main camp is occupied, Xiao Shu can also take his troops to the Yunnan Palace, but as long as the troops in our main camp are still there, there is still hope of a turnaround.

However, it is probably difficult for us to survive with more than 30,000 soldiers here, and this is the most difficult thing. "

Wang Yue was speechless. He understood that Lin Xie wanted Lin Shu to take people to Prince Mu's Mansion for help if something happened in Jinling.

If successful, Emperor Liang might compromise in the face of Prince Mu's Mansion and the public opinion, and the 30,000 soldiers here might still have a chance to survive.

If Lin Shu could not meet the Empress Dowager, or even if the Red Flame Army camp had been taken over by someone else, then their 30,000 troops would definitely be destroyed by Emperor Liang.

Therefore, Wang Yue was left to shoulder the heavy burden of the 3928888 wounded soldiers, while Lin Xie and Lin Shu could go into battle without any worries about the future of the Red Flame Army. .

Chapter 67 Go south or north?

Now that Wang Yue understood the whole story, he calmly took over the command seal. He looked at Lin Xie seriously and asked, "What instructions do you have for future actions?"

Lin Xie didn't know that Wang Yue had seen through his plan, and he continued his performance. He shook his head bitterly and said, "I know my body. If I can find a doctor in time, I may be able to live for another two years. But the current situation is that I don't have time to recover in the army.

Therefore, I plan to take a small group of people to Yaowang Valley to seek medical treatment. After my injuries have stabilized, I will go to Jinling to meet His Majesty.

But my father and I are gone, and the other generals are dead, so please command the army to protect Xiao Shu and me."

Wang Yue opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. This made him a target to attract the attention of Xia Jiang and Xie Yu.

But at this time, he had no way to refuse. After all, he was originally a member of the Red Flame Army. The fact that he came to rescue would definitely be discovered afterwards, and it was impossible for him to keep himself out of it.

Wang Yue had no choice. He knew it was going to be difficult, but he could only bite the bullet and ask, "When will the Marshal set off?"

Seeing that Wang Yue remained calm despite receiving such a heavy task, Lin Xie was very impressed.

But he couldn't promise Wang Yue anything now, so he had to assure him that life was the most important thing, and as long as he was alive, everything could still be saved.

He could only harden his heart and say, "Before you and Xiao Shu come back, I have already made arrangements. I will take the remaining guard battalion away later. You should hurry up and arrange the next plan."

At this point, he felt that he was too cruel, and added with a guilty look on his face, "Xiao Yue, I owe you such a heavy responsibility this time. In the future, no matter whether it is me or Xiao Shu, we will definitely repay you a hundredfold."

Wang Yue was not interested in such nice words at all. If he had not been in Ning'an's dream, he would have been a young marshal from a military family and very familiar with leading troops in battle. Facing today's situation, he would have been powerless to change anything and could only die.

You have to know that there were only more than 20,000 people who escaped from the valley. There were not many cavalrymen, and even fewer who were not injured.

Lin Shu took away three thousand elite cavalrymen at once, which was equivalent to draining all the cavalrymen's combat power, and the remaining cavalrymen were more or less injured.

Lin Xie was planning to take his personal guard battalion with him, which was equivalent to drawing out another two to three thousand elite infantrymen. Wang Yue could tell with his eyes closed that the people being taken away would still be healthy and elite.

What about the rest?

Except for the 10,000 troops brought by Wang Yue himself, most of them were intact, and the rest of the troops were basically all injured. If these people could not be treated in time, they would not only fail to form a fighting force, but also become a burden.

Wang Yue thought that Lin Xie was plotting against him, so he sighed and thought that after this rescue, he had finally fulfilled his comrades-in-arms.

However, he was not discouraged at all. He was very experienced in rebellion, and he was not without a way out.

However, before making any decision, you must first thoroughly understand your own strengths so that you can respond effectively.

Another day passed in a flash. Lin Xie used this day, despite his heavy injuries, to communicate with all the surviving captains.

Then he gathered the Chiyan Army and formally promoted Wang Yue to deputy general in public. After he left, Wang Yue took command of the Chiyan Army.

Through the rescue and ambush, most of the soldiers were convinced by Wang Yue, and since this was the order of the Marshal, no one objected.

Early the next morning, Lin Xie left with his personal guards. Looking at his desolate back, one always had a feeling of the whistling wind and the cold Yishui River.

Wang Yue sent Lin Xie away, and when he returned to the commander's tent, he solemnly asked his fellow villager Wang Jing, "Xiao Jing, how are the injuries of the remaining people being treated?"

Wang Jing certainly knew the current situation. The Marshal and the Young Marshal had already taken their men away. Although he was not sure where they had gone, he still understood that the rest of them had been abandoned in disguise, and Wang Yue was the new commander-in-chief.

He felt a little depressed when he thought about how he had worked so hard to come to the rescue, but was left here. He said in a muffled voice, "The lightly injured have been bandaged. As for the seriously injured, I'm afraid..."

Wang Yue knew what he meant. He patted Wang Jing on the shoulder and said calmly, "Just tell me how many people are still able to take action?"

Seeing Wang Yue so calm, Wang Jing felt more at ease, so he said solemnly, "After the Marshal and the Young Marshal left, except for the people we brought with us, all the remaining people were injured. There were 12,000 people with minor injuries, 5,000 people with serious injuries who could still move, and more than 1,000 people who could not move."

Wang Yue was delighted when he heard the report. This was much better than he had imagined.

But after a little thought, he understood the situation. In a desperate escape situation like today's, very few people could escape with serious injuries.

Now including the people he brought with him, there are still more than 20,000 combat-ready soldiers. Wang Yue suddenly felt that Lin Xie might not push him into a desperate situation. He was a little too judgmental.

However, this is also true. If Lin Xie wants to push Wang Yue into a desperate situation, firstly, it is not in line with his character, and secondly, there is no way to buy time for them father and son.

Of course, Wang Yue was absolutely certain that Lin Xie brought three thousand troops to Yaowang Valley not only to see a doctor, but also to send three thousand infantrymen to Lin Shu.

Considering that Lin Shu originally had two horses on his own, after the two sides joined forces, Lin Shu would have 6,000 elite cavalry in his hands. This was probably Lin Xie's real purpose.

After all, with these six thousand soldiers, if the situation in the capital was irreparable and the Red Flame Army’s garrison was wiped out, Lin Shu would be guaranteed a place to stay no matter where he went.

Wang Yue was really sighing now. Lin Xie had considered all the escape routes for Lin Shu. He could only sigh that his own father Yan was not around.

He calmed himself down and asked Wang Jing to organize the team while he studied the map himself.

Now, less than two days have passed since the end of the battle between the Chiyan Army and Dayu Meiling, so it seems that there is room for maneuver.

The current location of Meiling Mountain actually corresponds to Qinling Mountains. They are now out of Qinling Mountains and are in the northeast of Qinling Mountains.

However, Xie Yu's pursuers were still in the mountain road of Qinling Mountains, and the exit was blocked by the Chiyan Army, so they could not get out for a while.

If they wanted to take a detour, it would still take several days to get there, and there would be no time to chase and intercept them. The only way was to let the troops stationed near Xianyang City block their way so that they could encircle and kill the Chiyan Army.

But this is not an easy task. Not to mention that it is not easy for the messenger to come out from the mountain road, the fact that the Chiyan Army has rebelled has not been announced to the whole country, and the garrison in Chang'an will not take action against the Chiyan Army at all.

After all, no matter who the prefect of Chang'an was, he could never have imagined that the Chiyan Army, which had just defeated the Dayu Imperial Army, would be regarded as a rebel!

This is not logical!

Wang Yue needed to take advantage of this time difference to rest in Xianyang for two days and arrange for people to send the seriously injured by water through Tongguan, along the Yellow River all the way west to the sea, and then go to Taizhou.

He still has family there, as well as old friends from the Lin family. He has been running the business for more than half a year, so maybe he can still gain a foothold. 39288115.

Chapter 68 Ambush!

If it really doesn't work, Wang Yue feels that he can seek refuge in Nanchu in Taizhou, unlike in Meiling, where there is only a dead end.

It's not that Nan Chu in the south is better than the several countries in the north. It's just that the Red Flame Army's leader is so powerful. He established his prestige by using the three kingdoms in the north and killed countless enemies. That's why he has his current reputation.

The hatred between the two sides is as deep as the sea. If they knew that the Red Flame Army was in its current situation, they would definitely step on them ruthlessly and would never truly accept them.

Just like the Liao and Song dynasties, the two countries had deep hatred for each other. The Song dynasty knew that the Jin dynasty was also a hungry tiger, but in order to destroy its old enemy, it was willing to sacrifice its own resources and destroy the Liao dynasty.

It is because Wang Yue sees this clearly that he leans more towards the south.

However, before escaping, he still needed to guard against Xie Yu's pursuit. He planned to lead the troops himself to cover the rear, and let Wang Jing lead the remaining troops, taking the lightly and seriously wounded, to Chang'an City first.

Although he was not prepared to defect to Dayu and Beiyan, he could still confuse the enemy and make them unaware of the movements of the Chiyan Army.

After Wang Yue made a plan, he said to Wang Jing very seriously, "Xiao Jing, you lead the 3,000 people we brought with you to escort the nearly 7,000 seriously injured to Chang'an first. I will guard here for a day and a night, and set out to catch up the day after tomorrow. We will meet outside Chang'an City."

Wang Jing didn't expect that Wang Yue would go to Chang'an instead of Nanyang, which would make the way home even longer. But he thought that Wang Yue always had a plan in mind, and he must have his own meaning for doing so, so he didn't refuse.

But he still had some doubts, so he hesitated for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Brother Yue, if there is no transfer order, I'm afraid we can't enter Chang'an City, right?"

Wang Yue saw that Wang Jing didn't know the ins and outs of this, so he told him, "After you bring your men to the city of Chang'an, ask to enter the city to rest. The governor of Chang'an will definitely not agree. You can take a step back and say that the soldiers you brought are only seriously wounded and you can stay outside the city, but they must provide a few days of food and medicine. Now the news of the Western Border Army's attack on Meiling has not spread yet. Everyone thinks they are still fighting with Dayu's troops. The Red Flame Army is here to support them, and they will definitely not refuse."

Wang Jing thought about it and it made sense. After all, they were reinforcements, so it was only right to give them some food and supplies.

The Chiyan Army still had to deal with the seriously wounded, and the army also needed sufficient food supplies. He also knew that the situation was urgent and his mission was very important, so he did not waste time with Wang Yue and took the seriously wounded away with peace of mind.

After the seriously injured were escorted away, Wang Yue immediately took his men to make the remaining pottery jars into land mines and buried them in the mountain road, while also ambushing on both sides of the road.

He knew that he had to repel another wave of attacks, and then Xie Yu would think of other ways to pursue him, which would also give the Chiyan Army enough time.

……

When Xie Yu finally reorganized his troops and horses and was ready to continue the pursuit, he encountered the fleeing 10,000 cavalrymen he had sent ahead.

The cavalry commander rode up to Xie Yu and cried bitterly, "General, we chased to Wanjia Town near Tangluo Road and found the Red Flame Army's attack. Their gunpowder was very powerful. The explosion frightened the horses. Thousands of soldiers rushed out from both sides of the valley at the same time. At the same time, Lin Shu led his men back. Our army was defeated and almost wiped out. Only a few people followed me back to report the news!"

When Xie Yu heard that they had lost another 10,000 cavalrymen, he was so angry that his teeth were itching. He originally had less than 60,000 soldiers and horses, and now he had lost another 10,000. His advantage over the Chiyan Army was getting smaller and smaller. How could he destroy the Chiyan Army?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He drew his sword and shouted, "Damn it!"

No one knew who he was referring to when he shouted "damn it", but the unlucky one was the lieutenant general who came to report and lost his life for no reason.

Looking at the heads rolling on the ground, the surroundings fell into silence. When they came, they had an army of 100,000 strong, but now there were only 40,000 people left, which made them feel a little sad.

What’s more, they simply didn’t understand why the Chiyan Army, which had just defeated the Dayu troops, had become rebellious?

Xia Jiang also noticed that the morale was not right, and he couldn't help but frown. Their Xuan Jing Division had seriously failed in their duty this time. They had no idea that the Chi Yan Army had so much gunpowder. Even when they were escaping, they had enough gunpowder to set an ambush. He knew that he would have to take a bigger blame this time.

He saw that after Xie Yu killed the general, he still had no intention of taking further action. He was afraid that Xie Yu would think of other ways out, such as taking Qinzhou and offering it to Dayu or Yeqin, which would also allow Xie Yu to be granted a title of nobility and a general.

Xie Yu can do this, but Xia Jiang can't. He must make Xie Yu follow his will.

So he hurriedly persuaded them, "I heard from this general that the gunpowder explosion scared their horses, which is why the Chiyan Army succeeded in its surprise attack. So the Chiyan Army was running low on gunpowder.

We should hurry up and chase them. After we wipe out the Red Flame Army, we should hurry back to Kyoto. Princess Li Yang is still waiting for you in Jinling."

What he said was based on facts. When Wang Yue led his men to launch a sneak attack, the power of the explosion of thousands of gunpowder cans could be described as earth-shaking.

If the Red Flame Army had enough gunpowder, it would be impossible for any of the 1 pursuing cavalrymen to successfully escape.

At the same time, he was also reminding Xie Yu that if he defected at this time, Xie Yu and the Princess Li Yang, whom he had finally obtained, would no longer be together.

Xie Yu certainly understood what Xia Jiang meant. With Xia Jiang's reminder, he seemed to see the hope of wiping out the Chiyan Army again.

He quickly called his personal guards and sternly ordered, "Take my order and go to Qinzhou to mobilize another 20,000 cavalrymen. Have them rush here overnight."

The guard was stunned after hearing this. The Qinzhou camp was the main force to defend against Ye Qin. Most of the troops had been mobilized for this operation. If another 20,000 cavalry were mobilized, the camp would have less than 10,000 troops.

If Ye Qin sent troops to attack, Qinzhou would have no power to resist and the entire Guanzhong area might be lost.
