Poor Family Chapter 691

  Chapter 691

In the southeast of Tangyin County, a Song army composed of more than a hundred people is heading south along the Yongji Canal. This army is a township soldier in Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, led by Yue Fei, a regiment trainer from Xiangzhou. The training of two thousand township soldiers in Xiangzhou.

After Kang Wang Zhao Gou became the defense envoy of Xiangzhou, Yue Fei and his local soldiers were incorporated into the Xiangzhou army. Yue Fei's family was poor and unable to bribe the chief officer. Qing made Yue Fei have no backer. After being squeezed out by many parties, Yue Fei was appointed as a partial school and commanded three hundred township soldiers in Tangyin County.

   This time Yue Fei was ordered to act as a temporary scout to go to Kaide Mansion to investigate the movements of the Jinbing soldiers on the East Road.

   "Yue Tuanlian, the golden soldiers should come from the north, isn't it a bit of a retreat when we go to Kaide Mansion?" Yue Fei's deputy Xu Qing asked loudly.

Xu Qing is also from Tangyin. He is about the same age as Yue Fei. He has a wealthy family and has a horse for him to ride. Yue Fei himself is not qualified to equip a war horse. However, after Li Yanqing gave Yue Fei his white horse Xueying, it has always been Yue Fei. private horse.

  Yue Fei said with a smile: "Not all the golden soldiers may come from the north, they may also come from Bozhou along the Yellow River. The eastern and western golden soldiers converge in Liyang County. There is no problem for us to go to Kaide Mansion to investigate information."

   "Actually, I am worried that we will leave our hometown. What will our family do if the golden soldiers come from the north?"

  Yue Fei sighed and said: "The country is broken, how can the family survive alone? When a man lives in the world, he should put the country first and then the family. We are soldiers, so we should put military orders first."

   "Yue Tuanlian is right, I just don't understand the meaning."

Yue Fei laughed again: "It's not that you don't understand the righteousness. Everyone has family members. It's human nature to worry about the safety of family members. You can't say that you don't care about your family when you take care of the country. You also need to take care of your family. What I mean is, which one comes first? For the last question, we have completed the military order, and of course we can take care of our family, which is understandable!"

   All the soldiers said one after another: "Yue Tuanlian is more considerate, let's finish the task early, and then rush home to take care of the family!"

   "We speed up!"

  Yue Fei gave an order, and everyone speeded up and trotted away to the south

The official road along the Yongji Canal was crowded with fleeing people beyond sight. Among them were people from Xiangzhou and Cizhou, as well as people from Zhendingfu and Zhaojun. With meager property and a little food, everyone's face is panic-stricken. They are eager to escape the Yellow River and go to the capital or further south to escape the military disaster.

  Yue Fei sighed in his heart, where would there be boats along the Yellow River at this time? But he couldn't say that that would cut off everyone's hope, so they accelerated their march.

On the afternoon of the next day, Yue Fei and his party arrived at Linhe County in Kaide Prefecture, which is still more than 80 miles away from the prefecture of Puyang County. As soon as they entered the territory of Puyang County, the situation changed. They saw overwhelming numbers of refugees fleeing from the east. Everyone was terrified.

  Yue Fei and Xu Qing looked at each other, could it be that the Jin soldiers really came from the east?

   "Old man, I have a question!"

  Yue Fei grabbed an old man and asked loudly, "Did the Jin soldiers come from the east?"

   "I don't know, everyone is running for their lives, I have to run for their lives, young man, run away! If you are caught up by the golden soldiers, you soldiers will definitely not be able to survive."

  The old man broke free from Yue Fei's hand and fled into the team with his family. Xu Qing asked, "Should we go back?"

  Yue Fei shook his head, "After finding out the situation clearly, where did the Jin soldiers go? How many people are there? Otherwise, we won't be able to go back and report."

  Leading the army, Yue Fei continued to run eastward for about 30 miles. At this moment, Yue Fei suddenly heard someone calling him among the fleeing refugees, "Brother Yue!"

  Yue Fei hurriedly reined in his horse and looked around, only to see a dozen people running out of the crowd, all panting, the leader Yue Fei knew, turned out to be Tang Huai's uncle Tang Zhengzong.

  Yue Fei was taken aback. He quickly got off his horse and went up to meet him, "Uncle, why are you here? Didn't you leave long ago?"

Tang Zhengzong got Li Daqi to give him two boats, and went back to his hometown to pick up several Tang family members who moved south. He originally planned to take Yue Fei's mother, wife and children with him, but Yue Fei's wife, Liu Shi, wanted to go with his parents, so he didn't. Go with the authentic soup.

Tang Zhengzong sighed and said: "Don't mention it, our boat was forcibly confiscated by officers and soldiers in Weizhou and drove us off the boat. There is no ferry boat by the Yellow River. We heard that there is a boat crossing the river in Puyang, so we rushed to Puyang again, but we just arrived in Puyang , Jinbing came from Bozhou along the Yellow River, and we had to turn around and flee to Weizhou."

   "Uncle, where did the Jin soldiers go? How many troops are there?"

   "Now it's time to kill Puyang. I heard that there are 20,000 to 30,000 people who burned, killed and looted all the way. It's too miserable. You should leave quickly! The whole city of Puyang has already fled."

Tang Zhengzong shook his head and wanted to leave, but Yue Fei quickly grabbed him, "Listen to me, uncle, the golden soldiers are all cavalry, and they can only walk along the official road. You should stay away from the official road, and you'd better escape to the mountains. It's safe, and we can find food, and there must be no boats along the Yellow River now."

   Tang Zhengzong suddenly came to his senses and nodded repeatedly, "You are right, you are going to escape to the mountains, Brother Yue, we will meet later!"

  Yue Fei stuffed Tang Zhengzong with all his dry food, and pointed him to a small path, and Tang Zhengzong took his tribe and fled to a hilly area.

   At this time, Yue Fei commanded the soldiers to guide the refugees on the official road, "Fathers and folks, it is impossible to escape to the mountains. Jinbing can't go to the mountains, everyone, please go to the mountains!"

  Under the repeated instigation of the soldiers, the inescapable team gradually accepted their opinions, formed a mighty fleeing team, and fled to the mountains.

Yue Fei didn't go east anymore, he took the soldiers back to Xiangzhou quickly, and the next morning, they finally arrived at Tangyin County, at this moment, they saw countless defeated soldiers fleeing south along the official road, and everyone They were all stunned.

   Xu Qing stopped an officer and asked, "What happened?"

  The officer was full of bitterness, shook his head and said: "The main force of the Jin army has come from the north. Last night they broke through Anyang County. The whole army was defeated and more than half of them were killed. Brother, run for your life!"

  Yue Fei and everyone were shocked, Xu Qing said urgently: "Yue Tuanlian, since the army has been defeated, our intelligence is meaningless, why don't we go home and help our families, please be kind to Tuanlian!"

   "Please practice Enzhun!" Everyone begged one after another.

  Yue Fei also knew that their information was meaningless, so he nodded, "Everyone, go home!"

  Everyone dispersed and returned home. Yue Fei turned his head and saw that there were still more than a dozen people following him, so he asked, "Why don't you go home?"

  Everyone bowed together and said: "Our family members have all gone south, and Xiangzhou has no burden. We are willing to practice with the regiment!"

  Yue Fei thought about it and agreed, "Okay! Come home with me and have a look, and then make a decision!"

  Yue Fei was also worried about his mother, wife and children, so he turned his horse and led a dozen people along the Yongji Canal to Tangwang Village.

Half an hour later, Yue Fei arrived at Tangwang Village. The village was empty and there was no one in sight. Most of the villagers went south with Tang Wang's family. Yue Fei's family never went south because his father was seriously ill. , It was not until their father died of illness a few months ago that they began to consider going south. Unexpectedly, Jin Bing came so fast that they were caught off guard.

Yue Fei ran to the front of his house, only to see that the door was locked, and his family members were gone. He turned around and went to his father-in-law's house in the east of the village. Unexpectedly, the father-in-law's family also went to the room to be empty.

   When he was at a loss, someone suddenly called him, "Brother Yue!"

  I saw a middle-aged man running over. He was the neighbor of Yue Fei's family. His surname was Zhang. Yue Fei quickly asked, "Uncle Zhang, where did my father-in-law's family go?"

   "Are you asking about your father-in-law's house, or your own?"

  Yue Fei was startled, "Didn't they go together?"

  The middle-aged man shook his head. Your father-in-law and his family went to Daming Mansion to join their son. Your mother and brother didn't want to go with them. They fled with other people in the village yesterday.

   "What about my wife and children?" Yue Fei asked anxiously.

   "Of course they were with your mother? We were going to go together, but I had some things at home to get, and I came back."

   "Where did they go?"

   "I don't know, but your mother said that she seems to be going to take refuge in the mountains."

  Yue Fei nodded. This is what he told his mother. If everyone is scattered, it is best to escape to the mountains. It seems that his mother followed his advice. Thinking of his brother Yue Fan, Yue Fei let go of his heart a little.

  At this moment, the soldiers asked, "Tuan Lian, where are we going?"

  Yue Fei thought for a while and said, "Let's go north!"

  He simply took out the dozen or so donkeys that his father-in-law's family hadn't had time to take away, let the soldiers ride them, and they all turned around and headed north.

  When he was about to arrive at Tangyin County, he saw Xu Qing galloping towards him on horseback. Yue Fei hurriedly called out to him, "My dear brother!"

   "Yue Tuanlian, I'm going to find you!"

   "Where's your family?" Yue Fei asked,

   "They've already left, I haven't found them, Tuan Lian, I heard that there's fierce fighting in the north, should we go and have a look?"

  Yue Fei nodded, "That's exactly what I mean!"

  He and Xu Qing ran to the north with a dozen soldiers.
