Chapter 228 Retreat
General Pei got what he wanted, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, while his hands dropped weakly.
Jun Moye's fingers trembled slightly as he held the tiger talisman, as if carrying endless heartache.
He pursed his lips tightly, a trace of deep sorrow in his eyes, and reached out to hug General Pei.
"General Pei, I'm sorry, I should have been faster."
This was not the time to be sad, and Jun Moye quickly calmed down.
"Tao Zhiwen, you and Li Xiao will escort General Pei to the provincial capital."
He took Qinggu and continued to rush towards the border city wall. He was already familiar with these places on the border.
The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, so the defense is very long. City towers are built on the border. The closest to the city tower is Caozi Village, followed by Biwa Town, and then Guanping Village and Banshan Village. Then, further towards the imperial city is the provincial capital.
As far as I know, there are not many people in Biwa Town because of the fear of war, so the place with the most people is Weiluo Town where Guanping Village is located. Therefore, business transactions are basically conducted in Weiluo Town, which is the town where Yuelailou and Yuemanting opened their first branches.
In addition to the defense of the city tower in the northwest, there is a canyon between Biwa Town and Guanping Village, with cliffs on both sides. It can also be used as a line of defense. The enemy is outnumbered, so I must first notify the soldiers in the front to retreat, and then discuss a strategy to capture them.
Jun family.
Su Hanchu also gave urgent instructions.
"Ping'er, the young master is now in your care and the nurse's care. Follow the women of the Su family and go to the farm on the other side of the provincial capital. If our town is lost, we will be the first to suffer. The farm on the other side of the provincial capital is remote and hidden. Even if something happens, the enemy won't be able to find it in a short time."
Ping'er was holding several packages, all of which belonged to Jun Chuchen.
"What about you, ma'am?"
Su Hanchu spoke.
"Of course I'm going to look for Jun Moye. Ping'er, you're thoughtful and thoughtful, and the person I trust the most. The young master and my mother will be taking care of you. Let's go. Liu Shan has prepared a carriage outside."
Ping'er knew the seriousness of the matter. Taking good care of the young master at this time would be the greatest help she could give to the lady.
"Please rest assured, Madam. Ping'er will definitely take good care of the young master and the Su family."
After settling the children and the women of the Su family, Su Hanchu also rode his horse towards the city wall. Since the spies ahead knew that the city wall had fallen, Jun Moye and his father would definitely rush over, so he also had to rush over as soon as possible.
Loquat Town.
Yang Fengxiao, who was rushing to the city wall with 20,000 soldiers, also bumped into Jun Moye. Yang Fengxiao spoke with hostility.
"Who's ahead?"
Jun Moye naturally recognized that these were soldiers from the northwest, and the leader should be the third-rank general Yang Fengxiao. He was probably going to temporarily support the front, so he immediately took out the bloodstained tiger talisman.
"My name is Jun Moye. I've been entrusted by General Pei to come and fight alongside you. I believe this person must be General Yang."
Yang Fengxiao looked at the bloody military token in his hand and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Mr. Jun, may I ask General Pei..."
Jun Moye's eyes were filled with sorrow.
"General Pei's body has been sent to the provincial capital. General Pei made this urgent request before his death. I hope General Yang will consider General Pei's kindness and let us fight this battle together."
General Pei is dead, and things like the military token have been entrusted to others. I’m afraid the war situation will be very serious, Yang Fengxiao said sadly.
"Then let's go and provide support. I wonder what's happening with General Wei and General Song?"
He immediately gave the order.
"Speed up and rush to the city wall."
Jun Moye hurriedly spoke up to stop him.
"Wait, General Yang."
Yang Fengxiao spoke unhappily.
"What do you mean, Master Jun?"
Jun Moye didn't care about his attitude, but spoke in a deep voice.
"General Yang, according to what General Pei said, it's too late to save the city wall now. I've studied the terrain along the way, and it's most appropriate to have our soldiers ambush at Lianghe Cliff.
According to custom, if it's a fight to the death, we'll try to leave behind an important person to hand over the battle situation and report the news for support. General Yang, take a few hundred warriors with you. We'll quickly go and meet the messenger. We need to temporarily abandon the city wall and prepare for the second battle."
Yang Fengxiao did not agree with his opinion after hearing this.
"Master Jun, fighting depends on actual combat, not just theoretical strategy. Being timid before even entering the battlefield is not the style of a man of blood. Master Jun, if you are afraid, just leave. I will lead the soldiers to the tower. This tower in the northwest must be defended."
Then he gave the order again.
"Walk."
The people brought by Yang Fengxiao naturally regarded his order as an imperial decree and immediately started on their journey.
Young Master Jun rode his horse to stop in front of Yang Fengxiao and took out the dragon pendant.
"General Yang, if you still feel that this tiger talisman in my hand is not enough to stop you, then is this jade pendant in my hand, which is like my personal presence, enough to stop your army?"
Yang Fengxiao looked at the dragon pendant in front of him. He naturally knew what it meant for the emperor to be present in person, and his face turned ugly for a moment.
"Master Jun, if we delay and the tower is lost, how will you be held responsible?"
Jun Moye looked at the stubborn Yang Fengxiao and spoke in a cold voice.
"General Yang, General Pei was brought back at the risk of his life. He was only able to breathe his last breath before he was hastily entrusted to me. If the city wall is still there, would General Pei have returned as a corpse?
If General Yang doesn't believe it, then you can have the soldiers hide at Lianghe Cliff, and you can take a team with me to investigate. If I really make a mistake, then I will let General Yang deal with it."
General Yang pondered for a moment. Time is more precious than gold now. Any delay will have a huge impact.
Finally, he looked at Jun Moye.
"I hope that Master Jun has made no mistake in his judgment."
Then he gave the order.
"Five hundred cavalrymen will follow me. The rest of you will lie in ambush at Lianghe Cliff."
Seeing that he had finally persuaded the man, Jun Moye clamped his legs around the horse's belly.
"Thank you, General Yang, hello..."
Lingchang.
After confirming that Shen Luoxue would continue to live with Sun Xiucai, Shen Luoyun also prepared to return to the northwest. He had not seen his biological mother for more than a year and missed home.
"Qingmei, start packing up everything. We'll be heading back to the northwest in the next two days. We've been out for over a year, it's time to go back."
Qingmei showed a hint of joy after hearing this, because she also had to go back to the northwest to see her family.
"Yes, this servant will pack it up as soon as possible. We are finally going back."
Then he spoke again worriedly.
"Miss, but the Madam is still here. If we leave, what if something unexpected happens to the Miss?"
