Suddenly, Hu Jichen felt discouraged and sat on the ground. The eunuch immediately helped him up and shouted, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

He was shouting, Bai Mingjing, who was half-dressed on his body, ran over, was stunned when he saw this situation, and said to the eunuch: "Your Majesty, what's going on?" ”

"The slave didn't know that His Majesty fell to the ground the moment the shout of killing sounded just now." The eunuch said.

"No matter. Suddenly there was an enemy attack on the east side of the camp, about a hundred people, if we were not opponents in normal times, but most of us woke up today when we heard the shouts of the sentries, and they were definitely no match for them. ”

"You quickly retreat from the south with Your Majesty on your back, and I will lead the soldiers to resist for a while and catch up." Bai Mingjing said.

As soon as the eunuch agreed, he would pick up Hu Jichen and escape. He is strong and strong, and even if he carries Hu Jichen on his back, he can walk like a fly in the mountains and forests.

But at this moment, Hu Jichen suddenly said: "Slow." ”

"What is Your Majesty's will?" Bai Mingjing asked immediately.

"Let the soldiers lay down their arms and no longer have to resist." Hu Jichen said.

"This, Your Majesty, why is that?" Bai Mingjing stood in place and was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and asked loudly without caring about the humility of the upper and lower levels.

"This is providence." Hu Jichen explained vaguely, and then said: "Send someone to tell the mourning people who came to attack that the emperor of Dayu is here, if you send me to the people of the Ming Kingdom, you can get a thousand taels of gold; These Dayu soldiers are also people who are wanted by the Ming Kingdom, and they can get a reward for silver in the hands of the Ming people, so that they must not cause harm. ”

Bai Mingjing heard this, looked back at the mourning man who was killing, and then looked at Hu Jichen, who was sitting on the ground with a peaceful face, gritted his teeth, and said: "You Hu family's country, I don't want it anymore, what do I care about!" ”

Then he turned around and shouted to all the soldiers: "Your Majesty's will, lay down your arms and surrender!" ”

The soldiers who heard this were stunned for a moment, and some of them who did not fight with the mourners laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground; The people who were fighting with them could not put down their weapons, and continued to fight with the mourners, but they were also quickly killed.

Bai Mingjing took a breath, threw the knife on his waist and the longbow on his back to the ground, took out a dagger and gently placed it on a bamboo basket, raised his hands and walked in front of the person who looked like the leader, and said in the language of the Ailao people: "Bai Mingjing, the commander of the guards in front of the Imperial Guard of the Lower Dayu Kingdom, has seen the general of the Ailao Kingdom. My Majesty the Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom is here, if you send him to the hands of the Ming people, you can get a thousand taels of gold, please don't harm him; All the soldiers are also wanted by the Ming Kingdom, and they can get a reward for sending them to the Ming people, and the general is also asked to be careful. Then he repeated it again in Vietnamese.

The leader looked puzzled and opened his mouth to say a word.

Bai Mingjing was stunned again. He didn't hear what the man was saying, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that the man spoke Chinese!

The man saw that Bai Mingjing was in place, and said again with some puzzlement: "Why, you don't know Chinese either?" Then, as if thinking of something, the man took out a piece of moon-white cloth and a piece of charcoal from his waist, and wrote something on it to show Bai Mingjing. It was written in Chinese characters: "Can you write Chinese characters?" ”

……

……

Hu Jichen sat on the cover with his hands folded, muttering something to himself with his eyes closed. If you listen closely, you can hear: "Govern the country with righteousness, use troops with oddity, and take the world with nothing." How do I know that? In this way: there are many taboos in the world, and the people are poor; The people have many sharp weapons, and the country is faint; There are many people and tricks, and strange things arise; There are many thieves. Therefore, the sage cloud: I do nothing and the people are self-reliant, I am quiet and the people are self-righteous, I have nothing to do and the people are self-rich, I have no desire and the people are simple, I am ruthless and the people are self-purifying. ......" He was reciting the Tao Te Ching.

He was chanting when he suddenly heard a voice from in front of him: "Your Majesty." ”

Hu Jichen opened his eyes, saw Bai Mingjing standing in front of him, and said, "Are the mourners willing to send me to the hands of the Ming people?" ”

"Your Majesty, they are not mourners, they are Ming people." White name Kyodo.

"Ming people?" Rao is Hu Jichen was already like water, and he also made slight waves: 'How can the people of the Ming Kingdom appear here? ’

Before he could say this, he saw a man in tattered clothes come over, his eyes measured himself and the eunuch beside him, and then said to him: "In the Ming Dynasty, Luo Shenzhen, the commander of the elephant guard, has seen His Royal Highness the monarch of Annan. ”

"I've seen Commander Luo." Hu Jichen stood up and saluted.

"Your Highness, our army does not have any sedan chairs or carriages and horses, so we can only grieve Your Highness. In order to prevent His Highness from escaping, we will tie His Highness up, tie a stretcher with branches, and carry His Highness on a stretcher to Ng'an. If any of His Highness's subordinates knows the route to Yi'an that is closer and will not pass through the city that is not occupied by my Ming Dynasty, please let him tell him. ”

"Please also ask Your Highness not to think about things that you shouldn't have. At the critical moment, he will definitely kill His Highness first. Luo Shenzhen said very calmly.

"I know." Hu Jichen nodded, and then changed his words: "But I am a little curious, dare to ask Commander Luo why did he come here?" ”

……

……

After Luo Shenzhen lost consciousness that day, according to the intention of the commander of the Annan general, he stabbed all the corpses present again, in case there were people who pretended to be dead. But at that time, Hu Hancang was in a hurry to return to the city, and it was already dark, so he ordered the soldiers to quickly throw the corpses in one place, and then lit a fire to burn the corpses.

But not long after the fire was lit, it rained heavily, so Hu Hancang ordered all the soldiers to return to the camp and burn the corpses again tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, Luo Shenzhen woke up and found himself in the pile of corpses, limping out of the corpses everywhere despite the sharp pain from the wounds, and hiding in the nearby forest.

The reason why he wanted to hide in the forest was for safety and for healing. He had a lot of wounds on his body, and many arrows were still in his body, and he urgently needed to find medicinal materials that could heal his wounds, and at the same time find a quiet place, and it was better to find a Langzhong from Annan to take out the arrows for him. As for the danger in the middle, it can only be regarded as non-existent.

What he didn't expect was that in the jungle, he actually met a mountain soldier from Taiwan Town.

It turned out that the barbarian soldiers who fled into the forest that the general Na Annan said at that time were the mountain soldiers. Dar Ludao, the leader of the mountain soldiers, somehow felt that this battle was not easy to fight because of the day before the landing, and he kept an eye on it during the battle, and when he saw the plan of the army, he immediately made a decision, led more than 300 of them to flee into the mountains and forests, and led nearly half of them to escape after a fight with the Annan soldiers.

Darrudao did not dare to come to the sea easily, so he wandered the jungles of Annam, picking wild fruits and hunting for a living, intending to come out of the jungle after learning that the Ming army had landed again. Fortunately, the latitude of Annam and Taiwan is close, and the flora and fauna in the jungle are not far apart, and they can still survive.

Occasionally, he would meet the common people or soldiers of Annam who came to hunt in the jungle, and he would take such a person into captivity, and if he could not speak Chinese, he would be killed immediately; If you can speak Chinese, ask and then kill them. Because there are many poisonous snakes and beasts in the jungle, no one can imagine that there are still many Ming troops among them, and no one will search for them.

On this day, Darrudo wandered closer to the place where the battle had been fought that day, and saw the town of Roshen, who was also hiding in the jungle. Darrudao wanted to kill him directly, but suddenly found that the shoes on his feet were in the style of the generals of the Ming army, so he captured and inquired about his origin. Dar Rudao felt that saving a general of the Ming army should be a credit and could be rewarded, so he left him behind, and also captured an Annan Langzhong who went into the mountains to collect medicine to treat his injuries and take out the arrow.

But then, somehow, the Annamite people suddenly searched the mountains and forests again, and they had to move westward. Because they were not very familiar with this place after all, they gradually left Yi'an and came to Ha Jing.

They had been spending the night in a nearby cave last night, but the man who had returned from picking wild vegetables told Darrudao and the town of Rashen that they had seen people in the jungle who were also picking wild vegetables.

Darrudo thought that it was an Annan soldier who had gone into the mountains to search for him, and he was about to withdraw at that time; Luo Shenzhen inquired carefully, and felt that they were not like them, so he secretly leaned over with a few people to take a look, and followed them all the way to the camp, confirming that they should be Annanites who fled after a fight.

Luo Shenzhen felt that they should know what the current battle situation was, and decided to lead troops to raid them early tomorrow morning, and capture a few questions; Darrudao learned that there were only more than eighty people, so he agreed.

……

……

In the face of Hu Jichen, of course, he would not explain in such detail, but he just said it roughly, but it also surprised Hu Jichen and Bai Mingjing who heard this.

Hu Jichen couldn't help but show an emotional look and said: "It's really a coincidence that this is really providence." Looking at Bai Mingjing's face, he also agreed with Hu Jichen's words. If it weren't providence, how could it be such a coincidence?

"Since you don't know the current battle situation, why did you take us to Yi'an City?" Hu Jichen asked again.

"Most of you fled here in embarrassment, most of them escaped from Yi'an City, so I thought that Yi'an City had been captured and wanted to lead you there." Luo Shen Town Road.

"Now it is true that Yi'an has been captured by He Rong, but I did not escape from Yi'an City. If you don't say this, you will also ask Commander Luo to escort me to Yi'an City and hand it over to General He; These soldiers of my great peace also ask your lord to send them over. Hu Jichen said.

But at this moment, a scream suddenly sounded from all sides, Hu Jichen turned his head and saw that Darrudao was leading people to slaughter the Annan soldiers present; Luo Shenzhen's words also sounded in his ears: "Your Highness, if so many people make noise on the way, we will have to work hard to suppress them, so let's let them settle down here." ”

Hu Jichen closed his eyes, and said after a while: "That's it, sooner or later, you have to go to the ground for peace, and there is no difference." But he also asked Luo to bury them, and then send me to Yi'an City. ”
