Chapter 360: Ma Cong is trapped

It seems that the overall situation has been decided, and he cannot be allowed to refuse. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhu Youzhu furrowed his brows tightly, and with a wisp of incongruous tenderness in his dark eyes, he looked back at Li Mu'er who was staring at him.

Come to think of it, isn't that why he values her?

Pulling the corners of his mouth, he said an uplifting sentence in a calm tone: "Okay, I am proud of such loyal subjects as Youer, thank you so much for coming, let the Tartars see how powerful and unyielding my people are, and work together!" ”

"The emperor is serious, and the ministers will live up to the emperor's expectations!"

As soon as Li Mu'er's words fell, Mu Bin, who had not intervened for a long time, also knelt on the ground and gently called "Your Majesty......"

Zhu Youzhu was stunned and whispered to him: "Go ahead, protect the female bachelor." ”

"Yes!"

There was no superfluous politeness and verbosity, and everyone immediately divided into three ways: Xiao Jing escorted Zhu Youzhu back to the palace, Feng entered the Songhui Xihe faction to gather the people, and Li Mu'er went to Ningxia with Mu Bin and a small team of men and horses.

……………………

Speeding up all the way, Li Mu'er could feel that the people at the border were very sensitive to outsiders, especially those like them who were in a hurry and carried weapons.

She had been imprisoned with captives in Tatar, and she knew that the people here would tremble because of the Mongol infestation.

Nomads need agricultural products, and they are natural cavalry, with the motive and conditions for robbery. The Ming government sent a large army to conquest, but it did not succeed for many years. On the other hand, thousands of miles along the border, the slightest omission will be plundered, and it is impossible to prevent it. And Ningxia belongs to the north of ancient Yongzhou, "the Yellow River surrounds its east, Helan towers its north, the northwest is solid with mountains, and the southeast is at risk with the river", since ancient times, it is the border between the agricultural culture of the Central Plains and the nomadic culture of the grassland outside the Saiwai, and it is also the shield of Guanzhong, and the throat of Helong. After abandoning the Hetao Plain in Inner Mongolia and retreating to Ningxia, the former dynasty lost its defensive buffer zone. Ningxia Town, especially the Yanchi and Lingwu areas east of the Yellow River, bore the brunt of the situation and became a breakthrough for the nomads to go south.

Now Batu Mengke has unified the major tribes of Mongolia, and his power is dominant, becoming the great khan of the steppe in the true sense. The people's hearts are excessive, and what he has to do next must be to try in vain to devour the territory belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and follow this breakthrough to become stronger. In addition, Ma Wensheng has repelled him many times, and when they meet again this time, they will naturally be more and more reluctant to give in.

If Ma Cheng is really besieged, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck.

Li Mu'er wanted to subconsciously overturn this fear, but all this was ruthlessly confirmed after she finally rushed to the border to meet Ma Wensheng.

“…… In order to save the old man, after going through this hurdle, he was finally outnumbered and besieged by the enemy. ”

Li Muer stood aside and listened to Ma Wensheng and Mu Bin describe the situation. When she saw Ma Wensheng's finger pointing at a certain place on the map, her heart was pinched fiercely like Mu Bin's expression.

"This is north of Huamachiying, bordering the Mongolian Etok Qianqi, and this piece is a vast desert. Chun'er has never been into the desert, but the other party is an authentic Mongolian wilderness, and the current situation is not clear. ”

Li Mu'er admired Ma Wensheng very much, and now he can calmly analyze the battle situation for them. In such an anxious situation, he didn't have time to ask why they came, but he didn't mess up his sense of proportion as the commander.

Even if the striker in danger is his own son.

And she and Mu Bin obviously don't have such a high-spirited festival - "God-damned Tartar!" Master Ma, why don't we lead our troops to save him? ”

Ma Wensheng shook his head, "Rashly sending heavy troops to the rescue, firstly, the forces defending the city will be greatly weakened, and secondly, there are dangers everywhere in the desert, in case even the army is trapped, how can it be compensated for the loss?" ”

Li Mu'er glanced at Mu Bin when she heard this, and she could hear that Ma Wensheng felt more uncomfortable than anyone else at the moment, and his tone was full of helplessness and embarrassment.

But it also happens to show that they came at the right time.

Ignoring past grievances, Li Mu'er arched her hand and said to Ma Wensheng: "Master Ma has a great responsibility to defend the border city!" Leave the matter of Brother Cong to us. ”

Mu Bin also immediately said: "Yes, Master Ma! Even if you risk your life, the younger generation will save the horse from fire and water! ”

Mu Bin is okay, Li Muer is willing to help him rescue Ma Cong today, Ma Wensheng was somewhat emotional, his eyebrows were silky, he raised his hand and patted Mu Bin's shoulder, but said to Li Muer: "Girl, thank you." ”

……………………

"The origin of the plug is not a happy land, and there are many repulsions in the city. There are 20,000 households in the four guards, and they are arrogant. When Li Mu'er chanted this poem in his mouth, he had already joined the three thousand Xihe sect members, on the way to the desert compound.

The wind and sand were blowing on everyone's faces, and Rao was wearing a headscarf, and he could feel that his skin was beaten. The more sinister the environment, the more anxious Li Muer was. It had not been a day or two since Ma Cheng had been trapped, and whether or not there was an armed fight with the enemy, the harsh climate alone was enough to make people feel miserable.

It's no wonder that Ma Cong was trapped here, they brought a few local experts with them on this trip, so they were barely able to avoid the quicksand and dust storms and not lose their way.

But that's not all.

Searching for people in the desert is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, no matter how high their fighting spirit is when they set off, they have no clue after a few days of wind and dust, and they are somewhat lost.

"Master, when will we find it if this continues? Look at this wind and sand, it buries the footprints of our road in an instant, and there will be no clues left, which is really difficult! ”

Difficult! How could Li Mu'er not know? But no matter how difficult it is, you have to bite the bullet, Li Mu'er received the inquiring look from Feng Rusong, sighed, and was noncommittal.

The water bag in her hand dripped out obliquely because of her distraction, and "tick-tock" fell into the sand, so shocked that Li Mu'er hurriedly straightened it and did not waste any life-saving water.

Water...... That's right! Li Mu'er suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Dao Chief, what do you think is the most indispensable thing to survive in the desert?" ”

Feng Rusong frowned, looked at his water bag and said, "Naturally, this is it." ”

After speaking, I realized: "Miss means ......"

Li Mu'er nodded emphatically, "Well, we might as well change our thinking, don't blindly look for them as a group, but think about where they might be?" ”

"Got it!" Mu Bin realized it later, "Chung has been trapped in the desert for so many days, I'm afraid that the water he brought has long been exhausted, so he will definitely try his best to find a water source!" ”

After speaking, several people looked expectantly at the locals leading the way.

Someone immediately replied: "Water sources can generally be found around the area where there are grasses. I also knew that there was a riverbed with two mountains and a ditch, and if there were enough people, digging down might be able to dig up water. (To be continued.) )
