Chapter 343: Stone Forest Encounters Enemies

Duan Heng's mind kept thinking, looking at me opposite from time to time, as if I appeared out of thin air and would disappear at any time, the previous emperor of the Great Song Dynasty broke his promise, and the next generation of emperors was in danger, just this courage made Duan Heng admire, if he was himself, he really wouldn't dare to wade into this danger,

Dali's desire to restore the country with the failure of the relics has been frustrated, as I just said, there will be no more opportunities in the future, in the past ten years, although Duan Heng has never left the Tianlong Temple, but the situation in Dali is well understood, with the second Duan Shi became the second governor of the Dali region, plus the original officials in the Dali country have become the Tusi of various places, still powerful, at least in the hearts of the Dali aristocracy, has accepted the indisputable fact that the Mongols ruled Dali,

If you cooperate with the Song Dynasty, there will be a glimmer of opportunity, in this world, after all, only the Song Dynasty has the strength to fight with Mongolia, but if you want to get this opportunity, Duan Heng can no longer have the idea of recovering the country.

Time passed little by little, a drop of sweat appeared on Duan Heng's forehead, and in the face of my silence, Duan Heng only felt that there seemed to be an invisible pressure, which made him breathless,

Fortunately, after more than ten years of practice, otherwise maybe he would have gone mad, Duan Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead with his clothes, seeing that the time was coming, if there was no conclusion, it meant that he had given up the choice, that is, he had nothing, he could only accompany the ancient Buddha with green lanterns, for the rest of his life, Duan Heng thought while wiping his sweat, it is better to have a chance than nothing, Dali Country, Dali Autonomous Prefecture, with the help of the Song Dynasty, first find a place, get rid of Duan Shi, a traitor, and then find a way to develop strength, if there is a chance in the future, Just expel the Song people,

As soon as he thought of this, Duan Heng suddenly felt relaxed,

I know that Duan Heng is constantly thinking, but I don't know Duan Heng's flowery thoughts,

This quarter of an hour seems to be a long time,

Duan Heng said: "Your Majesty." ”

"What, have you figured it out?"

Duan Heng nodded, then knelt down and kowtowed three times and said, "Subordinate Duan Heng sees the emperor, and his subordinates have already thought about it and are willing to obey the emperor's will." ”

"Okay, Duan Heng, since you have made your choice, then I will not treat you badly."

"The subordinates understand, the emperor, what the subordinates should do at the moment."

"Secretly develop anti-Mongolian personnel, hoard strength, let Duan Donglou gather the remaining strength, occupy the mountains in the remote mountainous areas, and rely on the countryside to establish their own base areas, but do not forcibly attack any towns, and do not have a large-scale confrontation with the Mongols, so as not to attract a strong counterattack from the Mongols or Duan Shi, I will use the Wuhe Village on the east bank of the Huangni River as a contact point, if there is anything, you can let people contact the Hongyuan Great Wizard in the village, and when the time is ripe, I will order the Guangnan Military Region to march into Dali, At that time, we will gather the strength of you and Duan Donglou and expel the Mongols from Dali in one go. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, your subordinates will act according to your orders."

"Duan Heng, on the way to Shanxi, I heard from the Miao people that Duan Donglou is hiding in Xikou Mountain north of the Stone Forest, is that so?"

"Your Majesty, it's true, but it seems that the news has leaked recently, according to the last message from the East Tower, Duan Shi's army was found near Xikou Mountain, so they are preparing to move north."

"Duan Heng, the next time you meet Duan Donglou, you must remember to tell him to adopt the strategy of encircling the city from the countryside and going to the enemy's weak place to develop his forces."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

I then asked, "How many people do you still belong to Duan Donglou?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are more than 2,000 people who followed Duan Donglou into Xikou Mountain, led by Duan Donglou and his three disciples Duan Tianyang, Ji Mu and Jin Zhenyuan, and the rest are more than 3,000 people scattered all over the place."

"Duan Heng, the decisive battle between Song and Mongolia will not be too long, I estimate that there will be two years at most, so there is not much time left for me, Kublai Khan, and you, seize the last two years, make all preparations, and meet the battle of life and death."

"Your Majesty, what do you think is the chance of winning?"

I smiled: "Duan Heng, although the military strength of my Song Dynasty is slightly weaker than that of Mongolia, the overall comprehensive strength is not weak, and I am the true dragon son of heaven who inherits the mandate of heaven, so I think that the victory rate should be above sixty percent, and now my Great Song Dynasty has the help of Mr. Duan, I think, seventy percent of the victory rate is not too much at all." ”

Duan Heng whispered: "Seventy, it's a lot." ”

"Okay, Duan Heng, this place is occupied by the Mongols after all, it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, so as not to dream too much at night, in addition, you also need to be more careful, if you find anything wrong, immediately leave Tianlong Temple, go to Wuhe Village on the east bank of the Huangni River, keep your surname first, remember, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood."

"Yes, Your Majesty, your subordinates understand."

The last sentence I said moved Duan Heng's heart for a while, career is important, but surname life is more important, which obviously reflects the emperor's care for his subordinates,

When I walked out of Tianlong Temple, I saw Hong Sheng wandering alone in front of the door.

Tian Xiuyan said: "Son, Brother Hongsheng has really mixed in. ”

"Well, the hour is not early, call Hongsheng and hurry out of the city."

There was nothing to say all the way, and when we walked out of the Shanxi city gate, we breathed a long sigh of relief,

Leaving the city gate, Hong Sheng first spoke: "Childe, I inquired in the city, and I also asked someone I know, most of the garrisons in the city have gone to Shilin Xikou Mountain, it seems that the rumor that the relics are hiding in the Xikou Mountain is really true, but I don't know if the relics can escape this catastrophe." ”

"Don't worry, the relics are still long, we don't need to pay attention to it, I have already done the matter of Tianlong Temple, and after meeting everyone in Changshui Village, I will immediately set off to return to Wuhe Village."

"Yes, Childe."

Ten years later, the historical relics rebelled again, and were victimized by the mixed annihilation.

Yuan Thorn and the others responded in unison, and then hugged me and walked quickly in the direction of Changshui Village, at the moment of leaving, I saw Yuan Thorn also wiped his sweat a little, and said in his heart, with Yuan Thorn's cultivation will be the same, it seems that he is indeed too nervous.

When I returned to Changshui Village, it was already evening.

As soon as Fang Ling and the others, who were waiting at the entrance of the village, saw us, they immediately greeted us.

"Ling'er, we're all right, it's okay here."

"Brother, it's okay."

"Okay, inform everyone, go back the way you came."

After a short rest in Cannes Yi Village, we said goodbye to Xiao Dan, the head man, and gave Xiao Dan all the goods prepared for us by the great wizard of Hongyuan, and then embarked on the journey back to the east.

The original way back, that is, refers to the stone forest, we pass through the stone forest area called the small stone forest, relative to the large stone forest, the small stone forest is more sparse, elegant, the so-called stone forest, is a kind of forest-like karst landscape, this kind of stone forest karst is in the crustal movement, tectonic fissures, biological action and soil erosion with the cooperation of carbonate rock by surface water and groundwater dissolution to form a variety of stone pillar combinations, the surface of the stone pillar dissolution form is rich, the stone pillar form is diverse, the shape is peculiar, the combination is complex, anthropomorphic like, the form is thousands,

It's just that we all have no intention of pausing to enjoy the wonders of this world, silently walking through the stone peaks of various postures,

Near noon, when we had just turned a rocky peak and came to a relatively open area, we heard a sudden sound of horses from the north.

Hong Sheng hurriedly jumped off his mount, leaned down against the ground, and after listening, he said: "Childe, it seems that there are hundreds of people, and the direction is exactly where we are. ”

My heart suddenly tightened, and I said secretly, "Could it be that I was discovered." ”

Yuan Jian and Fang Ling were guarding me tightly on the left and right, Fang Ling's soft whip was already in his hands, Zhang Quanyi and Tian Xiuyan stepped forward slightly, blocking my diagonal front, Shen Mo and Wen Zhang rode forward, and the rest of the people, under the command of Zhang Zijian, Yun Zhongfei and Hong Sheng, immediately gathered together and guarded around me in a circle,

After a while, we saw a bald monk in a gray monk's robe and a mask that covered half of his face rushing towards us, followed by hundreds of knights in military uniforms about thirty meters away, the monk held a bow in his hand, and from time to time turned back and shot a feather arrow, each feather arrow shot, a knight must fall under the horse, and then be crushed by the horse team,

Yuan Jian said: "Childe, this person is skilled in archery, and he still maintains a hundred shots in the escape. ”

The gray-clothed monk was also shocked when he saw our group suddenly appear in front of him, and after seeing our clothes clearly, the gray-clothed monk hurriedly shouted: "Brother Miaoren, leave quickly, the Mongols behind me are chasing and killing me, it's none of your business." ”

Hong Sheng, who was behind me, said: "Childe, judging from the military uniform, half of the people chasing behind are the Mongolian army, half of them are Dali's army, the number is about three hundred, but the monk in front doesn't know who it is. ”

I heard Hong Sheng say that the enemy was only 300 people, and when I relaxed a little, I heard Hong Sheng mention the "monk", and my heart moved, and I said loudly: "Save people." ”

Zhang Zijian, who was standing at the forefront with Shen Mo and Wen Zhang, had already held his bow in his hand, listened to what I said, and shot four feather arrows without hesitation, accompanied by the sound of feather arrows cutting through the air, the four Mongolian knights who rushed to the front fell off their horses in response, and just before the Mongols had time to react, Zhang Zijian fired a salvo of eight arrows, and the eight Dali soldiers in front of him fell under the horse in response,

I praised, "What an eight-armed ape." ”

Yuan Jian also said: "Well, this eight-arrowed archer kung fu is indeed brilliant, even in the Mongolians who are good at riding and archery, it is enough to be called 'Jebe'." ”

At this time, the gray-clothed monk had already come to the front, and when he saw us helping, he hurriedly grabbed the reins and said: "Miao brothers, thank you for your help, but there are too many enemies, you should leave quickly, and the poor monk will report after such a great favor." ”

Shen Mo was about to speak, when he saw a Mongolian general who looked like a general in the opposing army's formation stepped forward and shouted loudly: "You wait for the Miao people, you dare to help the rebels shoot our army, don't you know my Mongolian Tianwei, why don't you quickly tie up your hands and sacrifice the rebels, this general Rao Er will not die." ”

Yuan Jian said: "Childe, fight quickly." ”

I nodded and said, "Kill." ”

Fifty selected imperial guards, among which there are super masters like Shen Mo and Wen Zhang, against three hundred ordinary soldiers, they are in control, the imperial guards are the elite of the entire Great Song Dynasty army, the total number is only one thousand, and the two hundred guards I brought out were carefully selected by Lan Yu, Shen Mo and others, all of them are masters, and the fifty people who finally entered the territory of Dali with me are the masters of the masters, and one is not a problem at all,

If I have a royal guard of 30,000 or 50,000 formations, then I can completely ignore the Mongolian iron cavalry, even if it is two or three times the size of my cowardly army, it will not be the enemy of our army.

Of course, this can only be a dream, where there will be so many masters,

Fifty guards and thirty Wuhe warriors shouted in unison: "Kill." ”
