Chapter 6 Soldiers Arrive in Yehe
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and there is an army stationed on the outskirts of Tieling City, which is mighty and mighty, and it looks majestic and domineering in the dark night. Red, white and blue flags fluttered in the tents. The inside and outside of the city were silent, but the commander's tent was brightly lit, and the guards guarding the camp did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and every pair of eyes were bright and vigilant.
The crown prince of the Kingdom of Jin, Ai Xinjue Luo Daishan, sat in the position of the coach, and there were four young people in the seat. Listening to his son-in-law's report on the battle situation in Tieling, Dai Shan occasionally nodded and chuckled. Dai Shan's natural benevolent eyebrows and good eyes, a pair of eyes are particularly modest, a warm face like jade with a bookish and elegant temperament, just like a humble gentleman of the Han family, if you have not seen Dai Shan bravely kill the enemy on the battlefield, it is difficult to imagine that he will be the Jurchen Guying Baturu.
"Amma, Tieling has been taken, and now that the army is recuperating for many days, we should also take advantage of the victory to pursue and smash Huanglong." Du Class, who has just turned twenty years old, has already won several cities in a row, and the whole person is inevitably a little arrogant.
Seeing his impetuous appearance, Dai Shan did not look displeased, glanced at Du Xiang dotingly, and sneered: "You think that the Ming Dynasty has been a hundred years old, and if you say that you can defeat it, you can defeat it." ”
"Brother Daishan, it's rare to hit here, we won't stop there, so we are unwilling." Zilharang followed the topic of Du Zhi closely, but Du Zhi only glanced at him, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, raised the teacup with one hand, and held the lid of the cup on the teacup with the other hand and snapped softly, but he didn't take a sip of tea.
"Uncle, there are a lot of people dispatched this time, could it be that we have other plans?" Du Du saw that the two of them didn't get to the point, in this operation, Hetuara City dispatched a large army, and even Marfa personally took command of the battle.
Dai Shan was still mild-eyed, chuckled slightly, looked at Du Du and Zierharang, turned his head and looked at Du Zhi again, the three of them were puzzled and expectant, and suddenly their hearts were shocked, and their eyes were full of Yue Tuo, who was sitting behind Du Class, only to see that he was expressionless, playing with the lid of the cup in his hand, and it seemed that such a big thing as conquering the city had nothing to do with him. Dai Shan frowned and sighed in his heart.
"The Han people have suffered a big loss this time, and if we press forward step by step, then they will desperately fight against us, and we will probably lose more than we gain. So we don't go south anymore, we go north, we go straight to Yeh. Dai Shan raised the teacup in his hand, picked up the lid of the cup with one hand, stirred the tea leaves floating in the cup, brought it to his mouth, and blew it gently. Raising his eyes, he carefully examined the expressions of the four people.
"Yehe."
"Yehe."
"Yehe."
The three of them unsurprisingly spoke in unison. Although Du Zhi was surprised, his surprise flashed, and when he saw that Yue Tuo was still sitting firmly, he obediently sat back in his original position. Du Du was full of disbelief, and soon there was a layer of joy. Yehe, Yeh has nothing to do with him, but the death of his Amma has nothing to do with Yehebel. can destroy Ye He, he must have hated it for a long time. Zilharang was even more happy, as long as he attacked the city and plundered the land, he didn't care which city to attack and what kind of forces were involved. As for Yue Tuo, Yue Tuo just raised his eyes, looked at the excited three people lightly, and then picked up the teacup in his hand and gave him a sip of tea.
Dai Shan's heart was a little cold, this time to attack Yehe, Khan Ama had already told himself that it was Yue Tuo who proposed it. At this moment, Dahan's plan was announced, which was exactly what he wanted, but he was still expressionless, unhappy or angry. Dai Shan even hoped that before he said that before attacking Ye He, Yue Tuo would come and talk to him about this proposal. But it's been a few days since the meeting, and his eldest brother hasn't even mentioned half a word. Just seemed to be respectfully waiting for his instructions from this Amma. This son, he really can't see more and more clearly. Shaking his head, he said lightly:
"The will of the Great Han, we will attack Yehe." Dai Shan suddenly lost interest in attacking Ye He, not to mention that Ai Xin Jueluo and Ye He Nala simply broke bones and tendons. The battlefield is always bloody, but in this war, each other is enemies, but they are also relatives.
Dai Shan's tone was obviously a little colder, and he said seriously: "It's not early, let's go back and clean up early, and we will go north to attack Ye He early tomorrow morning." ”
The four of them didn't say much, but got up and saluted at the same time, and turned to leave.
"Yue Tuo." The tone was much softer than when he had just given the order.
Hearing this name, Yue Tuo and Du Zhi both stopped, Du Zhi had some expectations in his eyes, but Yue Tuo just looked back casually, looking at his own Ama with faint eyes, the gentle gentleman in the eyes of others, but in his eyes he was cold and strange.
"Since the army converged, I haven't had a chance to say a few words to you, Amma knows that you are brave and resourceful, but alone, it's still too risky......" Dai Shan felt that his words were stiff and embarrassed, cleared his throat, looked at his son, and decided to think about the wording again.
"Amma, don't say anything, don't say much." Yue Tuo didn't wait for Dai Shan to speak again, replied lightly, performed the etiquette of his subordinates, and walked straight out of the tent. Du Zhi opened his eyes wide and gasped, frowned, didn't dare to look at Dai Shan's face, and followed.
In fact, Dai Shan's face was okay, at least not iron gray, with a sad and bitter smile on his face, and he sighed softly. The four young people who had just walked out, the younger brother of the uncle's family, Zilharang, although they belonged to the blue flag, followed him in and out, and he was even more submissive to himself. Du Du, the nephew of his relatives, has been by his side since the death of his Ama Chuying, but he is the only one. Du Du's white flag is simply under his command. There is also a class that belongs to the red flag, he is both a son-in-law and a nephew, and he is still a little childish in front of him, and occasionally jokes with himself, but he will not disobey half a point in major matters.
However, Yue Tuo, Dai Shan sighed deeply, his eldest son, his own relatives, was not half close to him. I never paid attention to him, but now when he caught his attention, he couldn't control him anymore. He made a battle in the red flag and let himself see it. When the news of his meritorious service came, the mood at that time, I still remember it at this moment, I will be just as surprised and excited. It was only when he saw Yue Tuo's cold eyes that Dai Shan's heart sank, and at that moment he realized that this son was too strange to him.
"Yue Tuo, you wait, wait."
Yue Tuo stopped and looked at the sky, there were not many stars, but they were shining.
"Yue Tuo, he's also your Amma. You should change your temper ...... too."
"Isn't it because he's my Amma?" Yue Tuo's voice was as cold as frost, and he turned his head to look at the tent he had just walked out of, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"Yue Tuo......" all the people frowned. I want to comfort a few words, but I don't know what to say.
"Since I want nothing from him, don't expect me to be patient with him." The two looked at each other, both surprised but also clear, Yue Tuo's cold and disappointed heart for him Ama was not a day's cold, so he had to shake his head helplessly.
"Big brother, big brother, have Ama finished talking to you?" Sakhalin ran to Yueto with a whole piece of fur in his hand and a smile on his face.
"Amma is alone, you can go in." Yue Tuo put away the coldness just now, still expressionless, but his tone was a little more relaxed after all.
"What good did you steal?" Du Zhi walked over, lifted his fur and took a look, and his face returned to his old smile.
"What is taken, Ama has long ordered not to slaughter the city, this is all I have hunted myself in the past few days." They all looked at Sakhalin's innocent smile, and they laughed even more wantonly. Sakhalin is also Dai Shan's sister-in-law, Yue Tuo's half-brother, if you talk about appearance, it is better than Yue Tuo, mainly because it is a little less cold. With fair skin, a pair of bright and soft eyes, and a smile on his face, he is kind to everyone and makes people willing to be close.
"Big brother, brother-in-law, then I'll go in first, and I also have yours, I'll send it to you later." Sakhalin grinned and walked over.
Both nodded at the same time. As his figure faded away, his face became solemn again.
"Shuoto is two years older than Sakhalin, not to mention bringing it out for training, Ama is really eccentric." Du Zhi shook his head, looked at Yue Tuo, and sighed lightly.
"It's okay, Shuoto has me." Yue Tuo threw down a sentence and prepared to go back to his tent. When he raised his eyes, he saw Du Du standing not far away, looking straight at himself, not dodging or dodging.
Seeing that Yue Tuo saw him, Du Du hesitated, lowered his head, frowned, and finally stopped in front of Yue Tuo with a single step, settled down, and looked at Yue Tuo with a straight face. Asked softly:
"Xi'er...... How's Xi'er? ”
"She's fine." Yue Tuo's voice was very soft, and there was no joy or anger. His eyes were also faint, looking at Du Du. But he didn't say anything more.
Seeing that Yue Tuo didn't say anything, Du Du still nodded with satisfaction, bowed to Yue Tuo and thanked him, and turned away.
"He was embarrassed to ask Xi'er, when the rumors were flying all over the sky, I heard that he didn't even dare to open the door and didn't dare to see Xi'er." Du Zhi looked in the direction Du Du left, staring at his eyes, looking uneven.
"He also has his helplessness. It's not that you don't know. Yue Tuo looked at Du Du's back, they were cousins in the end, even if they were not close enough, they would not add a little hatred.
"Yes, he Ama has fallen, he is the eldest grandson of Marfa, what is he afraid of." Du Zhi still stared at his eyes angrily.
"The eldest grandson," Yue Tuo repeated softly, sneering, "You yourself said that he Ama has fallen, that is the eldest son of Marfa, what is this eldest grandson." There was helplessness and sadness in his cold eyes.
As soon as these words came out, neither of them spoke. Yes, the eldest son of the eldest son was all taken by Marfa, not to mention their grandsons and grandchildren. Just like this Ye He, there are countless people in the family who are connected to him by blood, and they will fight when they are not supposed to fight. Although Du Zhi understood this truth, he still shouted indignantly:
"You're quite understanding. Naturally, we won't care about him, how are you going to deal with Xi'er's matter? It's up to you to look at you, right? Du Zhi glanced at Yue Tuo. Seeing his firm eyes, he shook his head, Yue Tuo, Yue Tuo, can you not carry everything on yourself. You're only twenty years old. Du Zhi suddenly remembered that Eniang felt sorry for Yue Tuo, and he couldn't bear it, sighed lightly, said no more, and walked to his tent.
Yue Tuo looked up at the sky, the stars were shining, dazzling and brilliant, he raised his hand and touched a thin chain around his neck, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Xi'er, today's stars are so beautiful.
"Gege, let's go back, the sun has already set, and the princess told us to go back to the house before sunset." Synnie looked at the sun in the sky, gradually losing its light, and looked at Gege in front of him carefully and anxiously, wanting to say more, but not daring to say more.
"Gege." Hindi cautiously shouted an unresponsive word again.
"The sun sets over the long river. Look, Hindi, the sun is red, giving off its last rays, how beautiful it is. ”
"Yes, Gege, the sun has set, if Gege likes it, we'll come back tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow is another day. Lan Xi'er sighed lightly.
Hinnie didn't dare to answer again, since Gege came back, it was different from before, Gege used to like to laugh, and he laughed sweetly, Hinnie thought it looked very good. That kind of life that is held in everyone's hands is what all girls yearn for. Although Hinni is a slave, he is also very envious. It's just that Hindi wasn't by Gege's side before, and it was only after Gege came back recently that the princess arranged to take care of Gege. But now Gege doesn't like to laugh anymore, and often is alone in a daze, either looking at the sunset or looking at the starry sky. Or come to this river in a daze, as if you are waiting for something, as if it is not.
When she came back, the Han had gone on an expedition, Ama had gone on an expedition, and her uncles had also gone on an expedition, and the whole city of Hetuara was extremely quiet, and if it weren't for E-Niang's ecstasy, she even felt that she had gone out for a visit, and her aunts and aunts did not mention that she and her relatives had returned. Enthusiasm for her is still as good as ever.
It's Yue Qi, it's not as close as before, she is now a kind of concubine, and the Aixin Jueluo family can be regarded as the best person to marry, and it is inevitable that she will be a little arrogant. Lan Xi'er didn't want to care about this. She thought that she would never see these people again, and now that she can come back, it can be regarded as God's will to favor her, and many things are not important.
"Synny, do you think this river can flow to Yeh?" Lan Xi'er looked at the direction in which the river flowed, and looked farther and farther, following the military camp with red flags until the end of the river.
"If you go back to Gege, the slave doesn't know."
"Gege, let's go back, it's really going to be dark." Hinney's eyes looked innocently at his Gege. She really didn't know what to say.
Lan Xi'er turned her head to look at Xingni, trembling, and smiled lightly.
"Okay, let's go home."
After speaking, his eyes looked at the river again, and his face was expressionless.
Hinney was relieved, and happily summoned a carriage and a team of guards not far away.
Yehe, Ula, Huifa, and Hada are collectively known as the Haixi Jurchens, and they exist side by side with the Jianzhou Jurchens in this white mountain and black water. In this world, it has always been divided for a long time, and it must be together, and it must be divided for a long time. The tribes fought with each other and annexed each other. The Ming Dynasty only tried its best to maintain the balance of power among the Jurchen tribes. Without much intervention, the Jianzhou Jurchens, under the leadership of Aixinjue Luo Nurhachi, either allied with various tribes or annexed them, and gradually formed a new force, which can resist the Ming Dynasty today. During this time, Yehe Jurchen became the only remaining part of the four Haixi tribes.
The Yehenara clan and Aisin Jueluo can be called flesh and blood. Heavenly Khan Nurhachi was covered with the blood of the Yehnara clan. Between the two surnames, harmony leads to marriage, and discord leads to war. I'm afraid that the people of the Ming Dynasty are already commonplace. In the third year of the Mandate of Heaven, the Ming Dynasty sent an army of 400,000 to besiege Jianzhou, and Yehebel Jintai Shiqin led his troops to participate in the war to help the Ming Dynasty.
After several bitter battles, the Ming Dynasty was defeated, and Nurhachi was even more friendly with the Ming Dynasty, and a team sent relatives to Tieling and other places as existing when they went deep into the interior of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty lost its territory and suffered a great loss of vitality. Yeh knew that his isolation was not enough to resist Nurhachi, so he hurriedly retreated. Nurhachi no longer connived at Yehe this time, took the two blue flags, and converged with the two red flags of Daishan and the white flag of Dudu halfway, holding the flag of "If you don't beat Yehe, you will not return to the division", and went straight to Yehe.
Yeh was divided into two cities, east and west, and the gates were closed at the moment. Inside the city is Ye He's banner, and the mighty team outside the city is floating with the red, white and blue banner of Aixin Jueluo's family, which is already an ambush on ten sides for Ye He City.
Nurhachi stopped his horse in front of the city gate, turned his head to look at the army and his children and grandchildren behind him, raised his head arrogantly and looked at the word Yehe on the banner of the city gate, and snorted coldly in his heart. The emaciated figure, the beard has turned white, at first glance it is an old man, but sitting on the horse, there is no dross, the spirit is introverted, a pair of amber eyes are bright, not angry and self-assured, obviously have seen everything in the world. Glancing at the city gate, he looked back at Dai Shan, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a few words: "Set up camp." ”
After saying that, he rode away.
Dai Shan looked at the city gate and grinned, this city gate, he is either here to marry, or to fight, and after a few exchanges, it should be broken. Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he ordered to pass on Khan Amma's orders, and rode away.
"What is this, when you get to the city, won't you fight?" The reckless Gul Taibel, who was in the blue flag, had always been short-tempered, and looked at the city gate with a curse, and then looked at the direction Khan Ama had left.
"Oh, let's go, it's not a retreat, Dahan and Brother Daishan are gone, let's go too." Amin Bel, who was decorated with a blue flag, dragged Mang Gultai, and the two rode away one after the other.
"Could it be that you said it again, Marfa really won't attack?" Du Zhi squinted at Yue Tuo. He looked at Marfa in the distance. Take a look at the Yeh Twin Cities.
"Caged bird, why bother attacking, let's go, there is a time for you to be happy." Yue Tuo glanced at the city gate, raised his hand and whipped his whip, and prepared to leave.
"If you don't attack, what's the fun, you said that those two goods won't surrender, right?" Du Zhi frowned, looking left and right between the east and west cities with great disdain.
"Two goods? That's our uncle. Yue Tuo looked at Du Class, snorted coldly, and stared coldly at the word "Ye He" on the city wall with a pair of eyes.
"Don't, don't count me, my uncle is from the Aixin Jueluo family, and my uncle from Fujin is also from Hadanara, and he has nothing to do with Ye He." Du Tuo's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly looked at Yue Tuo: "You, you Fujin is Ye He's ......" Seeing Yue Tuo's sudden heavy face, he also knew that he was speechless, so he hurriedly changed his words.
"However, it's been a year, and Ye He has nothing to do with you."
"yes, it's been a year." Yue Tuo's eyes drifted into the distance, and his voice became softer and softer. glared at Ye He's words and rode away.
The army encamped on the hillside opposite the twin cities of Yehe, and as the sun set, smoke rose inside and outside the city walls, and the picture was rare in peace and quiet.
