Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 405 Return to Great Qin

"How long did it take you to get here from the Peacock River?"

Having made up his mind to return to Daqin, in order to prevent any accidents, Song Yuan asked immediately, just to estimate the distance.

The commander immediately responded, "Your Highness, it took us about an hour to get here!"

After hearing this answer, Song Yuan immediately made an estimate in his heart. In one hour, at the speed of a warhorse, the distance traveled was about fifty miles.

However, the guards of Mohai City had slowed down their speed in order to be wary of the surrounding environment.

In this way, this place is no more than 30 miles away from the Peacock River!

At Song Yuan's current speed, it would only take 4 hours at most to reach the Peacock River!

Because there are many wounded people in the team, which greatly slows down everyone's progress, we should be able to arrive safely before dark.

As long as we cross that river and return to Daqin, we will be completely safe!

Thinking of this, Song Yuan felt much more energetic. He waved his hand and immediately ordered everyone to rush at full speed towards Mohai City!

However, even though the finish line was only a stone's throw away, Song Yuan still didn't dare to relax at all.

It is better to send out a large number of scouts to guard the surrounding areas.

A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. Now that he was about to escape to heaven, he could not capsize in the ditch no matter what.

On the way thereafter, the general who came to meet him was very excited and came to Song Yuan's side as soon as possible.

Thinking of the harvest that Wei Da had brought before, a light seemed to appear in the general's eyes.

"Your Highness, if I were to say, we've really made a fortune this time!"

"With so many cattle and sheep, I'm afraid we won't have to worry about food for the whole winter!"

"What are these things? If you believe in me, sooner or later, we will definitely get more cattle and sheep!"

Seeing that his men looked like they had never seen the world, Song Yuan couldn't help but curl his lips and immediately spoke to encourage them.

In Song Yuan's memory, his achievements were nothing compared to someone in his previous life!

That was the legendary Fenglangjuxu, and the cattle and sheep he plundered from the grassland were more than a million.

This is just a small achievement, but you must not be complacent. There will be tremendous wealth waiting for you in the future!

After encouraging his men, Song Yuan hurriedly asked about the previous injuries.

At that time, he asked Huo Jianchuan to follow Situ Jing and carry out a surprise attack on orders. Presumably, General Huo should have returned by now!

"How were the injuries sustained by those returning from the border town? Are they in good condition now?"

"Your Highness, this time our casualties far exceed the total of our previous losses. Not only that, even General Huo was seriously injured!"

"However, after a few days of recuperation, his life is no longer in danger. I'm afraid he'll be back to full strength soon."

At this point, the generals' faces showed a bit of sadness. They were all veterans who had followed Song Yuan, and they remembered his previous achievements vividly.

Everyone followed Song Yuan and developed a bad habit.

Every time I look at the losses, even if I win in the end, I just feel like I’ve been defeated!

Song Yuan looked the same, his face darkened with a hint of regret.

But the next second, Song Yuan's eyes suddenly revealed a hint of ruthlessness. Strictly speaking, these accounts should be counted on the head of General Wei!

Since I have successfully escaped danger today, I must settle this score with the other party no matter what!

"By the way, how many of the 1,000 cavalrymen led by Huo Jianchuan finally returned?"

With a bit of heartache, Song Yuan continued to ask questions.

"Your Highness, of those one thousand cavalrymen, only one in ten survived, and only a very small number were able to return!"

Hearing this answer, Song Yuan clenched his fists fiercely. The people led by Huo Jianchuan were the elite among the elite, and he had spent countless resources to cultivate them with great difficulty.

Now this battle has completely exhausted everyone.

Song Yuan’s investment in these people alone is a figure that cannot be ignored!

Although he had expected this answer, now that it was confirmed, Song Yuan felt extremely heartbroken.

He clenched his fist fiercely and cursed inwardly, "General Wei, that bastard, I'm going to have to deal with him sooner or later!"

In Song Yuan's opinion, those generals who died in battle were really innocent.

If it weren't for the betrayal of Wei, how could it have ended like this?

As the culprit of the whole incident, General Wei must use his own blood to wash away the humiliation of his brothers.

I must use General Wei's head to comfort the souls of my brothers in heaven!

Such details also prove one thing: sometimes the most terrifying thing is not the enemy, but your own companion!

Filled with grief and indignation, Song Yuan finally managed to meet up with Wei Da before dark.

After crossing the Peacock River and returning to the territory of the Qin Dynasty, they finally escaped from danger.

……

The next day, Song Yuan led everyone back to Mohai City, but did not dare to delay for a moment.

After visiting Huo Jianchuan, he immediately took Wei Da and headed straight to Zhenbei City!

At this moment, Song Yuan was extremely anxious and wished that General Wei would pay the price immediately.

Wei Da beside him was also furious, and he kept shouting, "Don't let this old bastard fall into my hands, or I will skin him alive first!"

"Then I'll cut off his head, hang it on the city wall, and then use a whip to completely beat him into a pulp. Only then will I be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

The two men, along with the cavalry behind them, galloped at full speed. In just half a day, they met the logistics troops ahead.

What Song Yuan didn't expect was that he would actually meet an acquaintance here. He saw Zhou Shen leading the way, and the carriage behind him was filled with jars of alcohol!

It turned out that after Situ Jing successfully broke through, she immediately sent a message to Mohai City. Zhou Shen remembered Song Yuan's previous instructions and then transported the alcohol to the camp by the Peacock River.

With something like this to treat wounds, maybe we can save a lot of lives!

"When we get there, you must warn the brothers not to drink this wine. If anyone dares to touch a drop, I'll kill him!"

Thinking of the effect of alcohol, Song Yuan quickly spoke and warned Zhou Shen.

Wei Da, standing by, frowned slightly: "Brother, you sent me wine but didn't let me drink it. Isn't that just asking for my greed?"

"Brother Wei, my wine is not for drinking, but for saving lives!" Facing Wei Da's curious look, Song Yuan patiently explained the difference between alcohol and wine.

"Brother, you are really awesome!"

Hearing that this thing could actually save lives, Wei Da couldn't help but sigh sincerely. Looking at Song Yuan again, there was already a bit of sadness in his eyes.

The two are destined to go their separate ways. Perhaps, after dealing with General Wei, it will be time to say goodbye!
