Volume 1 Chapter 129 Yue Shenqiang Returns to Beijing
Swish, swish, swish!
Tens of thousands of people will draw their swords.
Bows and arrows were drawn and aimed at the guards in front of the palace.
The faces of the guards in front of the palace changed drastically.
"This is the Emperor's decree!"
"Do you want to disobey my order?"
The leading palace guard roared.
He was also desperate at this moment. After all, he had received the emperor's secret order. If he could not bring back Yue Divine Spear, the Emperor of the Great Zhou would confiscate his property and exterminate his entire clan.
Although he admired Yue Shenqiang in his heart, compared with the lives of his entire family, he could not be blamed.
Although he was facing a huge army, he had the emperor's order on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had no way to retreat.
He simply showed the emperor's gold medal in an attempt to intimidate Yue's army.
He even took out the chain from his waist and put it around Yue Shenqiang's neck.
Marshal Yue can be said to be the soul of the entire Yue Family Army.
Moreover, this time, Yue Shenqiang led the Yue Family Army and almost destroyed the Northern Liang Dynasty. It can be said that he made an unprecedented contribution to the Great Zhou Dynasty and the people of the Great Zhou.
It would have been fine if the emperor didn't reward Marshal Yue, but he actually stripped him of his post and brought him back to the capital to be punished. What kind of logic is this?
These soldiers who have followed Marshal Yue in battles for many years are all very passionate. When they see such unfair treatment, their eyes are red at this moment.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
One roar after another came out from his throat.
The soldiers were angry.
The god of war in their eyes was actually humiliated in this way, and every soldier in Yue's army felt a touch of grief and indignation.
Suddenly, a general of ten thousand men rode forward and slashed at the leader of the guards in front of the palace with a knife.
“You dare!”
The guard in front of the palace shook the gold medal in his hand and shouted angrily: "I am the emperor's envoy!"
"It's you, Ma!"
The general burst out cursing. He was originally an orphan. It was Yue Shenqiang who rescued him from a pile of dead bodies and taught him martial arts and military tactics.
Only then could he follow Yue Shenqiang and achieve great things together. Now he is also a dignified third-rank military general with many wives and concubines and a pair of children.
In his heart, Yue Shenqiang is like a teacher and a father!
How could he allow these people to humiliate his benefactor like this!
Seeing that the leader of the palace guards dared to be so presumptuous, he raised the sword in his hand without saying a word and chopped it down directly.
The leader of the guards was so frightened that he almost died. He stepped aside and tried to block the attack with his hands.
Just a "puff" sound was heard!
The sound of a steel knife cutting into bones was heard.
One arm was chopped off directly.
The leader of the guards screamed like a pig being slaughtered, rolled on the ground holding his broken arm, and his blood instantly dyed the ground red.
The remaining guards in front of the palace retreated in fear, and did not even dare to care about the guard commander, leaving him struggling and screaming on the ground.
The general pointed his sword at all the guards in front of the palace and shouted, "Whoever dares to arrest Marshal Yue, I will chop him in half immediately!"
The soldiers in the rear raised their weapons and shouted in unison.
"Who dares! Who dares! Who dares!"
Wave after wave of questioning rang out among Yue's army, scaring the guards in front of the palace so much that they broke out in cold sweats. Some of them even dropped the chains in their hands and threw their swords on the ground.
Only now did they witness the bravery and courage of the soldiers at the front!
What does it mean when a scholar meets a soldier? He can't explain his reason clearly.
They are not scholars, but when faced with this group of killers, there is no way to reason with them.
Finally, the guards in front of the palace knelt down in front of Yue Shenqiang, crying and saying:
"General Yue, we don't want to arrest you!"
"This is the Emperor's order!"
"We are just following orders!"
"If we fail to invite General Yue back to the capital, our family will be confiscated and our clan will be exterminated!"
"Marshal Yue, please have mercy on us!"
As they spoke, these people banged their heads against the ground frantically, leaving their heads covered in blood.
Marshal Yue clenched his fists so tightly that his fingers were about to dig into his flesh. As long as he gave the order now, the Northern Liang Dynasty could be destroyed.
In this way, we can build achievements for the Great Zhou and expand the territory!
But at this critical moment, the Emperor of the Great Zhou not only asked him to withdraw his troops, but also wanted to punish him!
Yue Shenqiang knew that if he went back this time, not only would his lifelong dream of expanding the territory be shattered, he might even be thrown into prison.
He was extremely unwilling in his heart, not because he was going to be held accountable by the tyrant, but because his dream was going to die here.
Finally, Yue Shenqiang sighed, threw away the weapon in his hand, and said to all the Yue Family Army: "Obey the emperor's order, and retreat!"
"General, you can't do that!" someone spoke up immediately.
The general who had just killed the guards in front of the palace shouted:
"General, as long as you give the order, we can destroy the Northern Liang Dynasty right now! Don't worry about what that tyrant says. As long as we have the merit of destroying the country, can he still kill us?"
"General, if you give up attacking Beiliang, you will definitely suffer a lot if you return this time!"
"General, you can't give up!"
The tens of thousands of generals nearby tried to dissuade them, and even the soldiers shouted in unison, demanding an attack on the capital of Beiliang.
Yue Shenqiang laughed miserably, suddenly jumped off his horse, and all the Yue Family soldiers behind him knelt straight down.
His action startled the soldiers in the rear, who didn't understand what Marshal Yue was going to do.
I only heard Yue Shenqiang say miserably:
"Today, I, Yue Shenqiang, have let down all the soldiers!"
"How many soldiers fought bloody battles, how many soldiers were buried in a foreign land, I wanted to lead you to achieve great things, to be famous in history, to be promoted to higher positions, to have your wives and children be honored."
"But now, everything is in vain!"
"I, Yue Shenqiang, have no face to face you again, let alone my brothers who died in the battle!"
"My fellow soldiers, please forgive me for bowing to you, Yue Shenqiang. Thank you for believing in me, respecting me, helping me, and assisting me for decades!"
"If there is a next time, if there is an afterlife, I, Yue Shenqiang, will definitely fight with you all again in Jiuzhou! To achieve great things!"
As he spoke, Yue Shenqiang bowed deeply to the army behind him.
This bow shattered all of Yue Shenqiang's dreams.
This bow made Yue Shenqiang realize that he would not be able to fulfill his promise to his soldiers in this lifetime.
This bow was his last farewell to the battlefield where he had fought for many years!
When Yue Shenqiang stood up again, his entire body seemed to be drained of energy and spirit. His face was as pale as gold paper, and he laughed miserably and said:
"I, Yue, will go back to Beijing with you now!"
As he spoke, Yue Shenqiang picked up the chain on the ground, put it directly on his head, and strode towards the direction of Da Zhou.
"General, General!"
"You can't go back. If you go back, you will be killed!"
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers roared in unison.
“This is my life!”
Yue Shenqiang sighed and continued to move forward. No matter how they tried to stop him, they could not stop Yue Shenqiang. Finally, the crowd parted and left a path for Yue Shenqiang.
The soldiers dismounted and saluted Yue Shenqiang.
I watched the undefeated god of war in my heart leave the battlefield sadly.
Maybe this is the last time I see the general.
Many people felt so sad that they wanted to cry and threw their helmets to the ground.
"Hey! How great it would be if Yue Shenqiang was my Beiliang general!"
The Northern Liang State Master sighed softly.
Although he was the one who reached an agreement with the Emperor of the Great Zhou, as an enemy, he also had great respect for Yue Shenqiang.
Such a talent could not gain the trust of the Emperor of Zhou, and was even used as a bargaining chip by the Emperor in exchange for his path to immortality.
Even the Northern Liang State Master felt that Yue's Spear was not worth it.
The guards in front of the palace watched Yue Shenqiang finally leave. Hundreds of thousands of troops carefully led Yue Shenqiang's horse, then bowed and chased after him.
They dared not be as arrogant as their leader. What if they were hacked to death by these people?
After they received Yue's Spear, they rode at full speed to the capital.
They knew that a bloody storm was about to begin.
