87 Yellow Maple Mountain

"Slow down the sails, lower the oars, turn around," Guo Song ordered.

The vast fleet turned around one after another and began to move south. However, when we came to Qingshui City against the current and against the wind, it was already afternoon. But we cannot ignore their contributions. If we were not calm and snatching ships under the enemy's noses, the enemy troops in Qingshui City would not relax, and those behind would not be able to seize the city so easily.

Niu Wei General once asked Liu Xiu, what would Liu Xiu do if it weren’t for them?

Liu Xiu's answer was very simple. If there were no one, he would do this. However, with fewer prisoners of war, the ships would free up more space, and at most seize a few ships, and set the rest to fire. The speed was fast, so there would be no need for so many people on the ship, so that more troops could be drawn and used for the battle to seize the city.

Despite this, the casualties will be severe and will not be as relaxed as yesterday's second half of the night.

There are countless boxes next to the dock.

There are also many chefs who forced out of the city, using various cooking utensils to make various exquisite delicacies. After they are finished, they try them, and then wrap them in oil paper and put them in different wooden boxes.

Liu Xiu looked at the ships and said, "Let's share the reward."

General Song Wei took out half of the spoils, including various gold, silver and jewelry, precious utensils, some precious spices, medicinal materials, and Yuanshi, and gave them all together. Even the few wounded soldiers who were lying and unable to move were also given some spoils.

Then, a team of Tang soldiers escorted a large amount of food outside the city and burned them with a fire. However, when Liu Xiu ordered, he retained some compassion and confiscated the property and food of the middle-aged and above families. The poor families did not move the Tang army.

How much food can these families have? However, the food in the area around Qingshui River can barely be supplied. After slaughtering autumn, all of them will be alive. But if the King of Yongluo conscripts again, it will force many people to be desperate.

The rest were moved to several ships one by one.

Liu Xiu came to the front of a large group of prisoners of war.

Not only were there prisoners of war, but also some of the "Venice"'s family members arrested together, with more than 10,000 people.

"Let the women, young and old, release them."

It is not entirely benevolence and righteousness, but the ship cannot squeeze out at all.

Large groups of women, elderly and children were released one by one.

There were many people, Liu Xiu stared at them and said, "Follow me to read each sentence, say it three times loudly. As long as I finish reading it, I will let you go home."

It seemed very simple, Liu Xiu began to say: "Yongluo King Luosuo is an ungrateful villain."

What consequences will be after pronounced by this sentence? Anyway, it was Tangren who forced him to read it three times.

"Yongluo King Luosuo is a treacherous villain."

Basically, I read it all.

"Yongluo King Luosuo is the dog of Xuefan."

Some people hesitate and never think about it.

Liu Xiu did not care and continued, "I am willing to make a vow to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty for life, and to take it as his own responsibility to remove the family of Luo Suo, the king of Yongluo, and testify, and make an oath in the underworld!"

This is not a contract, and it seems that there is no big problem to not obey after making the oath, but the heaven and the underworld have come out, and many people hesitate. They immediately regret it. They were following and Tang Jun was staring at them. Anyone who recited it loudly three times came out one by one and untied the rope. Even if it was the Venerable, they took off the forbidden ring and released them.

There were more than 3,000 people left. Liu Xiu said, "Just let you read a few words, you will release you. You will not read them. This shows your loyalty to Luo Suo. But we have said that if the surrendered ones do not kill you, they will still not kill you.

But you are so loyal, Luo Suo will definitely find a way to rescue you. The people from Qingshui City will listen. If Luo Suo, the King of Yongluo, sends someone to come and give him a word for me, Cang Hai will also imprison some Tang army prisoners of war.

Let Luo Suo arrange personnel and take them to the Tang realm, exchange them one-on-one."

There are many Tang army prisoners of war in Canghai, but until now, there are probably not many people left. If it is exchanged, then it will be replaced and thousands more people will be saved and they will go home.

If there is no exchange, it means that these people are not as important as a prisoner. King Yongluo will gradually become disinterested in Qingshui City.

After saying that, Liu Xiu asked everyone to take these prisoners of war onto the ship one by one, and there were several witch doctors and their family. They were not banned, but semi-forced. If they didn't follow, they would die. If they followed, they would take out a lot of wealth and gifts to them, and go north with the army and head north to the Tang Kingdom.

There were not many casualties in this battle, but there were always some casualties. Moreover, there were a large number of wounded people on the ship. With more doctors, more people would be able to save them.

"Go on the boat."

The Tang army boarded the ship one after another. If it included Dadu Gorge, it would be equivalent to three battles and three victories, and each person would also be given a lot of spoils. Thinking about the panic in Dadu Gorge, many soldiers sang war songs happily while boarding the ship.

"Let's go."

The sailors untied the ropes and sailed northwards. This time they really left.

…………

King Yongluo has been a little annoyed these days.

The Tang army went to Hulu City and successively joined some garrisons from Buffalo City and Hulu City, with more troops. The King of Yongluo let 10,000 front troops hang, not because he hoped that 10,000 front troops could defeat the Tang army.

Because it is hung, it can give the tribes behind Wumeng more courage, set up ambush along the way, and other functions. For example, in order to withdraw quickly, Xian Yu Zhongshu puts the small families on the boat and lets them evacuate from the water.

Due to the Wuhe River, the ship is not big and lacks guards.

If these tribes are braver, they can attack the women and weak on the ship. If they encounter misfortunes, serious divisions will inevitably occur within most of the Tang army. For example, when the Tang army approached Hulu City, it was not entirely an ambush. At that time, the sheep had not arrived yet. The main reason was that the tribes in that area were very unfriendly, and Xianyu Zhongshu was afraid of accidents.

But... first there was a battle in Wuling Mountain.

The next day, the Tang army entered Hulu City. Like the Buffalo City, they first "make small grudges", but Hulu City has always been the base camp of the Tang army before. Xianyu Zhongshu did not use any tricks, and the burned grain was far less than the leftover food. Then they instructed the people and households to hide the food and goods. If there are relatives, please leave the city immediately and join relatives or related tribe members in the countryside.

After the arrangements were made, the army was dispatched.

The tail behind was not cleared, but he did not dare to hang too close. After half a day, they all entered Hulu City, but they neglected that this was the base camp of the Tang army. In fact, the Tang army had not completely withdrawn. Taking advantage of many people to escape from Hulu City, when the troops were in chaos, Xianyu Zhongshu left five thousand elite soldiers and generals lurking in Hulu City.

Just when these cavalrymen wanted to take over Hulu City, they suddenly amassed all over. After the two sides were entangled for an hour or two, the Tang army used the seized war horses to form a more than 3,000 cavalry, and these cavalrymen came again. The two cavalrymen left behind nearly 3,000 bodies and fled in disgrace.

As a result, the number of the Tang cavalry quickly grew to more than 5,000, and the remaining Yongfan cavalry no longer dared to approach. Moreover, with this fast army in hand, the Wumeng tribes fell silent again and did not dare to move.

After cleaning the battlefield, the two people with a small head rode together, and the rest were one horseman. Although the speed was not fast, they were a little faster than the infantry. They caught up with the army and continued to retreat north.

At this time, King Yongluo also squeezed out some food and the army went east. No matter what, if he occupied Hulu City first, the Wumeng tribes would not believe that the Tang army had been defeated. But he knew in his heart that the food and grass had been tense and had lost so many cavalry troops, it was difficult to catch up with this Tang army. At this moment, he received news of the loss of Qingshui City.

The key is that this Tang army's troops were not as strong as he imagined. There were only six or seven thousand people, including prisoners of war, which means that there were only three or four thousand people when they attacked Sanhe Town. Of course, although Qingshui City was lost, it had little impact on the situation, but some things outside the situation made him feel heartbroken.

If the Tang army commander was not Xian Yu Zhongshu, but the Tang army commander, what would this battle be?

…………

Niu Wei General was funny, but many people in the actual army were funny.

After leaving Qingshui City, Liu Xiu continued to see a doctor, but now there are much fewer wounded people than when he left Sanhe Town. Several more witch doctors have been added. Although they are not as good as Gao Kezhi, they are all witch doctors with more famous witch doctors in Qingshui City.

There was also a shortage of doctors in the army, so they respected them more. The few of them calmed down and began to treat everyone seriously. Although they left their hometown, it seemed good to live in Tang Kingdom.

So Liu Xiu only revolved on the injured boats during the day three days to see a serious illness.

But during the day, after getting on the ship, he asked for a separate ship owner's cabin. This was fine. At least he was still the commander of the three armies and began to practice at night. Three days later, even the seriously injured were almost handed over to other doctors to see, and then stayed in the cabin and did not come out.

At this time, how many people in the army didn’t know Liu Xiu’s cultivation level?

Thinking about Liu Xiu's wisdom and his talent for cultivation, many people feel more and more funny when they think about it.

Okay, work harder and strive to become a warrior... but just want to laugh. After the Battle of Qingshui City, Liu Xiu's prestige reached its peak among this group of people. Not to mention General Zhang Wei, even General Song Wei wants to take down Liu Xiu, there may be mutiny in the army.

General Zhang Wei was also well-behaved, and after getting on the boat, he began to become very honest.

"Huangfeng Mountain has arrived." Song Weijiang said.

Huangfeng Mountain is not a mountain, but more than a dozen mountains. The mountain is covered with a large number of yellow maple trees, a beautiful ornamental tree with orange and yellow leaves.

So Liu Xiu gave them this name, which had no other meaning, just regarded it as a landmark.

After passing this Huangfeng Mountain, Jiaolong Lake is not far ahead.

"Don't worry, it's a while before we can arrive. Call Deputy General Lu and wait for my order at any time."

Liu Xiu came to the bow of the boat and looked at the mountains on both sides.

General Niu Wei asked in a low voice: "General Song Wei, whose son is it?"

Although Liu Xiu's cultivation and his hard practice are funny, other aspects, including demeanor, are first-class.

"Ping Yong Qingzhi, Liu Xiu is the most beautiful, and the second son of Duke Hou."

"No wonder he is getting close to Li Yi... It's wrong, age!"

"He has a rare heavenly meridian that runs through his body from the Tianmen to the Earthly Oste. He should have the highest cultivation qualifications. However, his Yuan meridian was injured in his childhood and Duke Hou Guo did not heal. The key is that the Yuan meridian gradually became turbid and his life was not long.

Therefore, after Duke Hou died, he came to Mengnan alone and was forced to explore the way by Luo Bo. He came out alive by chance. Not only did he bring the bracelet of King Yongluo and the inheritance of King Meng Tian, ​​but he also found an imperial Gu whose life was about to end and signed a life sharing contract with it. In this way, he tried to raise a Gu with people, raise people with Gu, and forcibly break through to the Qihai Realm to protect his life."

At this time, there is no need to hide it, at least there is no need to hide it from Niu Wei. Anyway, when you return to Da'an City, most of the truth will be disclosed.
