Chapter 24: A Desperate Gap
Yun Zheng swallowed his saliva, but still walked out of the tent, and the two maids guarding the door ran into the tent, looked at the neatly dressed princess and said with a smile: "That young man is stupid, a beauty like the princess doesn't know pity." ”
Princess Kui Ming touched the heads of the two maids lying on her lap and said lonely: "This is a good person, a good person who is not willing to take advantage of others, but in this world, good people are destined to live shorter than bad people."
In fact, I really want to escape from Yinzhou and live an ordinary life, without having to get married, we live happily behind closed doors, reading, embroidering, and planting flowers, all of which are the lives I yearn for very much, and I hope to decide my own destiny! ”
"What then? That good-looking boy will be beheaded when he arrives in Yinzhou! ”
Princess Kui Ming smiled and said, "You can all see the prospects, I don't believe that person will not be able to see it, why does he have to go to our Western Xia?" We want to escape, but he has a good life and doesn't know how to cherish it, or he has his own ideas! ”
Thinking of returning to Western Xia, the three masters and servants couldn't be happy anymore, and they didn't know what kind of crisis they needed to face after they returned.
After seeing Yun Zheng come out of the tent, Han Lin's face became gloomy, Princess Kui Ming is the only talisman for his people to enter Western Xia, if Yun Zheng can't completely subdue this Western Xia woman, he doesn't have much hope for this trip to Western Xia.
Yun Zheng knew what he was thinking when he saw Han Lin's expression, and said with a smile: "Do you think that after sleeping with a woman, you can make her obedient?" Forget it, do you, a veteran who has been lonely all your life, understand the relationship between men and women?
Princess Kui Ming is a princess, she is not an ordinary Han woman, once her chastity is taken away, she will follow the man with all her heart, marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog is not applicable to the Xixia people, the flesh is just a means to envelop people, do you really think that I am so handsome that I can let a princess see a day and throw herself into her arms?
Wake up, dealing with the princess unless there is a common interest goal, if not. Even if it is a pillow person, she will betray and abandon anytime and anywhere, don't take herself too seriously, she is now lonely and desperately needs someone to protect herself. Now she thinks that this person is me, and she thinks that she can control me, so let's let her control it, when Princess Kui Ming becomes the leader of this caravan, we are natural Xixia people, and we can also leap into the community of Xixia nobles in one step, is there anything better in the world than this?
These days, I have to pretend to be stupid, pretend to be fascinated by other people's princesses, don't move around, sue the monkey and the cow. Peng Jiu and Liang Ji will be fine, Steward Lu will take 300 people to follow Peng An back to Chengdu, and 200 of us will break into the Longtan Tiger's Den in Xixia! ”
A smile appeared on Han Lin's wrinkled face, patted Yun Zheng's shoulder and said, "Okay, the envoy who killed the Tangut people has made you famous all over the world." If you can get out of the whole body, the encouragement to the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty will not be a little bit, and I also have a good man in the Great Song Dynasty! If necessary, you don't have to care about the life of the old way, and you are willing to be your pawn for you to drive! ”
Yun Zheng said indifferently: "I want to see the battle between Jiao Guluo and Wu Zang Pang." It will be very helpful to look at the way the steppe people fought and to summarize the way gunpowder was used in this way of fighting. ”
"You're no longer a civil servant?"
"I dreamed of it, but when this matter came back to Bianliang City, Tokyo, I thought that my dream of being a civil official would probably go down the drain, and I wanted to be a civil official who wanted to be the icing on the cake. I'm afraid it's hard to ......."
Unconsciously, the two of them no longer discussed the life and death of this trip to Xixia, and began to arrange their dreams and lives in the future......
Ge Qiuyan watched Yun Zheng keep coming in and out of Princess Kui Ming's tent with ill intentions, with a hint of frivolous mockery on the corner of his mouth, it had been three days. Yun Zheng should know the taste of marrow, right?
The Buddha's will was in his arms, and at the same time, there were six Bliss Pills sent over, calculating the time Yun Zheng should beg herself for Bliss Pills, she really wanted to see Yun Zheng kneeling in front of her like a dog.
The feeling of holding the power of life and death made Ge Qiuyan very happy, no matter what Yun Zheng was doing, he would only make a wedding dress for the Holy Sect in the end, and Ge Qiuyan had no doubt about this.
Miaochuan City began to strengthen preparations, a team of cavalry came from afar, and then through Miaochuan City continued to march towards the river, the knights on the horse did not have any sense of panic, but each was full of interest, Qingtang's exploits are the most abundant, as long as there is a big war, this is Qingtang herdsman's favorite activity to collect money.
Peng An took Ali Gu away, and also took Yun Zheng's caravan, and the two hundred people who stayed were all armed into cavalry by Yun Zheng, but this cavalry is obviously not comparable with the Qingtang cavalry, at most it can only be counted as infantry on a war horse.
Yun Zheng's cavalry stood on the side of the road to accept the ridicule of others, a lot of Qingtang cavalry came out of the team like the wind, and the war horse galloped to Yun Zheng's team before holding the reins, so that the front hooves of the war horse were raised, and the soldiers of the Jiazi Battalion on the horse fell from the horse and became a mess.
Yun Zheng didn't think it was wrong, he looked at this scene with a smile, and let his soldiers be provoked and humiliated by others, which is normal in Yun Zheng's opinion, the smart warriors on the battlefield are the kings and the masters of the battlefield, they have the right to be proud, and they have the right to show their strength to anyone, unless you can knock him off the horse, or defeat him completely, otherwise, you can only silently accept the humiliation, on the battlefield, the weak don't even have the right to life, what dignity do you mention!
Yun Zheng said these words to every subordinate that these two hundred people are actually the elite of the elite in the Jiazi battalion, and only by letting them be tempered in this harsh struggle will they have an army like an arm and a finger in the future.
Because of the words of the general, every sergeant of the Jiazi Battalion held back his anger, and was made to fall off the horse, so he climbed onto the horse, and was knocked off the hat by others, so he jumped off the horse and picked it up and buckled it on his head, and then got on the horse, Yun Zheng was very satisfied with this ceremony.
Princess Kui Ming doesn't see it this way, in her opinion, this is a bloodless appearance, and unconsciously her evaluation of Yun Zheng is a notch lower, in Western Xia, those who are as arrogant as Li Yuanhao can only kill the warriors, but not humiliate the warriors, she ignores the huge gap between the Xiang army and the elite cavalry of Qingtang.
When Jiao Guluo came over, he said lightly to Yun Zheng Leaving Qingtang, he was surrounded by guards and marched towards Hehuang, his words were orders, at least in Miaochuan.
Dong Yu and Qingyi Ghost Zhang were both wearing thick leather armor, and their faces were also shrouded in helmets, Dong Yu looked at Yun Zheng and said: "Come back alive, I always feel that you will be my biggest opponent in the future!" I don't want you to die before I defeat you! ”
Yun Zheng replied very seriously: "It's hard to say whether it's an opponent or not, but I will definitely come back alive!" Dong Yu nodded and rode forward, Qingyi Ghost Zhang laughed and beat Yun Zheng's chest with his hand and said: "It must be very interesting to fight with you, I can't wait, but don't worry, as long as I catch you, I will definitely not kill you until I subdue you and fight you in fear!" ”
Without waiting for Yun Zheng to speak, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and slapped it in Yun Zheng's hand, laughed and left, and disappeared into the long queue in an instant.
"In the future, if you and I really meet on the battlefield, spare you three times without dying!"
After silently saying this, Yun Zheng turned his horse's head and shouted at his team: "Go!" Target Xixia Yinzhou! ”
Princess Kui Ming, who was riding on the horse, was stunned for a moment, because Yun Zheng's words shouted with a heroic meaning, which was very different from her previous obscene demeanor!
The whip in Sun Qizhi's hand shook and exploded a whip on the top of the mule's head, and the mule cart led by him immediately rushed eastward, Lang Lige's body and the war horse seemed to have been integrated, with the bumps of the war horse up and down, the reins in his hand were loose and loose, but the war horse naturally followed the team unhurriedly, and his horse did not need to be more controlled.
As long as Hanlin can ride a horse, he will never ride a horse, Yun Zheng has seen Hanlin riding a horse, no less than the Qingtang cavalry, but this old guy would rather sit in the carriage and secretly look at everyone in the team than gallop freely on horseback.
Cavalry, that is, riding out on horseback, this is what Hanlin said, and Princess Kui Ming also said so, so Yun Zheng plans to sit on the horse for three hundred miles in a row, and then he needs to rush to Kaluo River earlier, where there is no battlefield that is preset by Pang and Jiaoluo, and the small-scale battle has begun, Yun Zheng really wants to see what kind of scene the ancient battle of 100,000 people is like across the Yellow River.
The battle between the Western Xia and the Jiaoguo Luo had happened more than once, and the two sides were too familiar with each other, and they were already familiar to the point where the strategy was useless, and after a large number of small-scale trials, the two sides invariably chose a large-scale battle, both of which were semi-agrarian and semi-nomadic peoples, and they simply could not afford a protracted war, and Karochuan was the only place that could accommodate 100,000 people to fight.
Riding a horse for three miles is a kind of enjoyment, riding a horse for thirty miles is a burden, riding a horse for three hundred miles is definitely a huge pain, no wonder the ancients said that those who travel a hundred miles will be a general, from sunrise to the evening but only walked one hundred and fifty miles, this is already a turtle speed, it is dark early in winter, the time of sunshine is only a short five hours, this speed is not much faster than walking, the strong Qingtang horse can still insist, but the cavalry on the horse, has been crumbling.
Yun Zheng is okay, although his thighs are numb, he can still hold on, save his face as the general, of course, the best demeanor is Lang Lige, this guy ran for a hundred and fifty miles as if he didn't feel it, and then he came down to count Princess Kui Ming and her two maids, although they were also tired, it seemed that they could still hold on after running another fifty miles.
When he heard Princess Kui Ming say that he had run one hundred and eighty miles a day with his uncle's army, Yun Zheng almost gave up training his cavalry, he was an army of tens of thousands of people, and he was a team of two hundred people, and the difficulty was impossible to calculate.
