"Dream Back to the Great Song"

In the last years of the Song Dynasty, there were many wars! The small "Jin Kingdom" in the northeast was in turmoil, disturbing the stability of the imperial court. Emperor Song sent the general "Ruijin" to resist. The entourage, including the princess, had a total army of 300,000! In the middle of a great river, they confronted "Jin" left and right!

The Jin army was brave and good at fighting! Most of them were horsemen, and they were stationed on the south bank of the river. The Great Song army led by General Ruijin, with a total of 300,000 troops, including the princess, camped on the north bank of the river.

The princess of Song was beautiful and empathetic, and General Ruijin sent his general "He Yongqi" to protect the princess's safety and set up camp in the left rear of the Great Song army. This time, the Jin State invaded the border of our Great Song Dynasty, and the situation was critical! Song Tianzi specially sent the great general Ruijin to guard it. In order to show the importance that the emperor attached to this expedition, Emperor Song ordered the eldest princess to go with the army, and the safety of the princess represented the face of the Great Song Dynasty, and General Ruijin did not dare to slack off! He ordered his subordinate general He Yongqi to swear to protect the princess's safety to the death. I encamped with the princess on the left rear of the army. The princess's attendants consisted of six people, and the maid Curan was brought from the palace by the princess, and she was in charge of the princess's daily life. The princess is more attentive to this war with Jinguo! Every day, she will observe the enemy situation with me.

My mission is twofold: the first task is to protect the princess's safety, and the second is to keep an eye on the enemy troops stationed on the other side of the river to ensure the princess's safety. From the princess's barracks, you can see the barracks of the Jin army and our Great Song army, and such a confrontation lasted for six months.

At first, I didn't notice anything unusual, but after six months, the two armies faced each other, and slowly changed!

One day, I was looking across the river outside the princess's barracks and found a Jin army camping on the other side of the river at the princess's barracks, when the tide of battle changed. General Ruijin, who was responsible for confronting the enemy forces of the Jin State along the river to prevent them from attacking, concentrated the main forces of both sides in one place. This time, the main force of the Jin army sent an elite army to camp across the bank from the princess's barracks, which shows that they have a new trend. The Jin army wanted to avoid the battle with the main army of the Great Song Dynasty, and they wanted to attack from the flank and take the camp of my Great Song princess first. As a guard general who guards the safety of the princess, I faintly feel a trace of danger in my heart.

The Jin army stationed on the other side of the princess's barracks was not very numerous, about 200 people! Wearing dark armor and spears in hand, they lurked on the other side of the river, and I don't know when they chose to cross the river.

I don't have many soldiers under my command, only thirty. This is the left rear of the main force of the Great Song Dynasty army, and it is much safer here! But this tranquility has now been broken, and the enemy Jin army has a small detachment, and now it has touched the other side of the river here. The Princess's safety was threatened! I informed Her Royal Highness about this, and the princess asked me, "What is the plan of Second Lieutenant Ho?" I said, "We must first inform General Ruijin and wait for him to make a decision!"

Subsequently, I informed General Ruijin that there was a small detachment of the enemy army that had been stationed across the river from the princess's camp.

But strangely, General Ruijin did not reply to the order for a long time, and I was anxiously stationed in the princess's barracks, and did not dare to take it lightly for a moment.

The days passed day by day, and it was a long time! My nerves were also tense and I was careful everywhere, the safety of the princess was not child's play.

I had suggested that General Ruijin should send an army from the main force to guard against the Jin army on the other side of the princess's barracks, but General Ruijin was slow to send troops, and I don't know why he didn't send troops to reinforce him. Could it be that General Ruijin doesn't pay attention to the life and death of the princess?—— no.

General Ruijin had two considerations: First, the main army of the Jin State and the main army of our Great Song Dynasty are now facing each other in the middle of the river! The main duty of our main force is to resist the enemy's crossing of the river; if we send more troops to protect the princess's camp? In this way, when the enemy's main force crosses the river, our ability to resist will be very limited, and once the enemy's main force successfully crosses the river, it will be very difficult for our Great Song army to resist! In this case, we will be in a passive situation. Relying on the imperial court to increase troops? Time is pressing, and it is too late! Therefore, General Ruijin chose that the main force could not move, and then said, "The princess's camp is in the left rear of the main force, and a small detachment of the enemy army will not play a role."

General Ruijin thinks well, but as me, a captain who guards the princess's safety, I am always worried and vigilant.

Here, the Jin army may also have a consideration, they want to borrow an elite army of 200 people to camp on the opposite bank of the princess camp, so as to force the main force of the Great Song army to come to help. By doing so, the Jin army could disperse the military strength of the main force of the Great Song Dynasty, which would be conducive to the forced crossing of the river by the Jin army. From this point of view, the sneak attack on the princess's barracks was just a cover, and the real intention was to disperse the main force of the Great Song army. However, as the captain who guards the safety of the princess, I need to be on guard everywhere.

On the one hand, I had to observe the movements of the enemy's main force from outside the princess's barracks every day, and on the other hand, I had to watch out for the small detachment of the Jin army stationed on the other side of the river in the princess's barracks.

The princess was beautiful, generous, and understanding, and she also had great respect for me! She also often visited the enemy with me and talked about the war situation. The princess's character, in addition to being beautiful, generous and empathetic, is also very independent in her thinking. The princess has her own opinions, and she will exchange opinions with me. In terms of armament, the princess is more obedient to my arrangement, which also makes me feel gratified!

In the later period, due to the tense war, I took the princess and fled to the capital of the Great Song Kingdom. Slowly, I also fell in love with the princess......

On the way back to the capital, the princess was much haggard! She sat in the carriage with a sense of loss......

We sat in the same carriage, and when I looked at her face, my heart ached! Everyone was exhausted! I was so tired that I wanted to sleep peacefully...... The flight and bumps along the way, tiredness was written on everyone's brow!

I was so tired that I sat opposite the princess in the carriage, and I was sleepy, and I did not dare to sleep, and closed my eyelids for a moment, and immediately opened my eyes to look at the princess. When the princess saw that I was sleepy, she said, "Captain He, you are relatively safe now!" You don't have to worry too much about me! I am very grateful to you for taking care of me along the way. If you are sleepy, you should sleep for a while, and I will wake you up again if there is something urgent! When I heard the princess's words, I wanted to refuse politely, but I was too sleepy! I said to the princess, "All right, the last general will take orders!" After that, I fell asleep against the wall of the carriage......

I don't know how long time passed, and a bump woke me up! The princess saw that I had woken up, smiled at me, and said, "Captain He has worked hard all the way!" I said: Protecting the princess is the mission of the last general, and the princess does not have to worry about it, this is my duty. After saying that, the princess stared into my eyes for a long time, and I looked into her eyes! I could see the helplessness in the princess's heart, and the princess realized that I was looking into her eyes, and she was embarrassed, and moved her eyes out of the carriage window......

The princess's maid, Curran, sat in a row with the princess, and she also slept......
