In this late autumn twilight, half a mile outside Yingchuan City, Tan Yinghai and Princess Yongqing pretended to be master and servant, and they were coldly watching a lot of refugees and volunteers outside the city, and they seemed to rush into the city before the door closed. The two of them changed their faces at the same time, one old and one young. On the way from Jiangnan to Mongolia this time, she clamored to go to the place where the war was going on to take a look, but Tan Yinghai only took her to a mountainside half a mile outside the city to watch.

"As things stand, the rebel army here will be able to gather between 40,000 and 50,000 men in less than three months. However, it is useless, when you meet a Jurchen or a Mongol, you will be beaten in a blink of an eye. The gap in combat effectiveness is too great. ”

looks like an old man in his twilight years, but Tan Yinghai, who has straightened his waist, still reveals a sense of strength and majesty all over his body. Princess Yongqing beside him was dressed as a child, and when she heard Tan Yinghai's analysis, she couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Will there be too many people, and it will cause food shortages."

"There's no way, Jiangbei is already in chaos now, but the situation will change in a few months."

"Hey, hey, hey... As you know, most of them are women refugees who only know how to eat and have no combat skills. Sheltering them will only increase the problem of food shortages, but those who want to save the people can't turn them down. It's just that in the face of this kind of rebellion to attack the city, the imperial court will soon react, and if I am not mistaken, they will send the top cavalry regiment to try to wipe out the rebel army as soon as possible. ”

Princess Yongqing bowed her head to show that she understood. The Jurchen legion was dominated by cavalry, while the infantry was mostly played by Han Chinese. To quell the rebellion, the most reliable is of course the Jurchens themselves. Moreover, the iron hooves of the Jurchen cavalry had trampled on countless lands inside and outside the fortress, and fought countless strong soldiers, facing a small Yingchuan city with weak defense, a rabble with empty numbers but insufficient training and equipment, they would not pay attention to it at all.

Tan Yinghai saw Princess Yongqing's cute demeanor and performance in her eyes, and showed a malicious smile on her face, gently put her arms around her and hugged her, and at the same time found that she liked to play tricks on this girl more and more.

"You don't have to be so tight, in the Jin country, they are proud of it, and it is decades ago that they regard it as the invincible Jurchen cavalry that dominates the world. The new generation of Jurchen soldiers had no experience in fighting at all, and even if they were equally good at riding and martial arts, they had been pampered for a long time, and it was unknown whether they really knew how to fight.

On the side of the rebel army, although it was a rabble, there was still a well-trained elite left over from the original Song Army and the Western Army. Moreover, the Jurchen cavalry was accustomed to not carrying grain and grass, and only maintained by plundering and tuntian. But the harvest was over, and it was early winter by the time the imperial court sent troops to the time the soldiers arrived. In the northeast there is neither grain to plunder, nor beasts to hunt, nor fields to hunt, so what do they eat, do they eat their own mounts? But if after a season, 40,000 or 50,000 troops are afraid that they can be trained and defend the city with 40,000 or 50,000 usable soldiers, are they still afraid of this group of newborn calves?

Or maybe you didn't notice it, princess, that the Jin Kingdom actually has their own difficulties. Now there are uprisings everywhere, and if the imperial court mobilizes too many troops, there will be a danger of being attacked by other forces at any time. Therefore, as long as the rebel army breaks the first round of the Jin government's offensive, they naturally have enough capital to ignite the rebel army in Jiangbei, launch a nationwide offensive, calmly clean up the land in all directions, and cooperate with the personnel to greatly alleviate the food problem. ”

Princess Yongqing, who was leaning on the crook of his arm, finally showed a relieved expression, but then gave him a blank look, apparently realizing that he had deliberately teased and scared himself just now. Although she is still dressed as a child, her eyes are still smart and cute when she doesn't have to hide it.

The so-called launching an offensive is a good thing to hear about the uprising and the restoration of the Han Dynasty. But what is unpleasant is actually the tactics of inciting forces to push the common people to be ants, and they exchange their lives with the Jurchen iron cavalry warriors. Regardless of whether he successfully repelled the Jurchens in the end or seized the Central Plains, he could also foresee that the sacrifice of human lives would definitely be in the millions. And this is well known to everyone in power.

Politics is always about results, and there is no difference between white and underworld.

The reason why Tan Yinghai wants to avoid the plug is that he is actually unwilling to witness the history of the river of blood with his own eyes.

Princess Yongqing finally discovered Tan Yinghai's stupidity, and he returned to his usual hearty and free smile and said:

"There will be no fighting anytime soon, and we will be late if we don't leave. Little princess, get moving

bar. ”

Princess Yongqing smiled lightly, and the two of them got up and turned over the back mountain.

After leaving Jiangnan, the two walked along the official road, and because the closer they got to Bianliang, the more peaceful they became, so they didn't have to worry about it, but it was a bit like a trip to the mountains and rivers. Tan Yinghai, who has been doing his own thing most of the time, is the first time in his first half of his life that he has traveled with a girl who is so much different in age. Fortunately, Princess Yongqing does not have the laziness and temper of ordinary daughters, and she does not need to be taken care of by him, but can serve him and make him happy in turn, especially since this woman has hung up a name tag and is his "personal" servant, which is a new and interesting experience for him.

After a pleasant journey of seven days, the two of them had arrived at the official road leading to the capital in the suburbs of Youyan, and just as Tan Yinghai was about to rush into Yanjing before it went dark, a sound like a bird and beast came from the nearby dense forest. The two of them glanced at each other, and the chirping of birds and beasts was long and long, and from their experience, they assumed that it was the sound of a group of masters rounding up their prey.

Tan Yinghai can deduce the depth and number of these masters from their voices, but more importantly, they can calculate their refined tacit understanding and organization from their coverage of nearly three miles.

Who is so bold and so blatant in the confines of Bianliang?

The frequency of the message sent somewhere two miles away suddenly became urgent, and Tan Yinghai immediately launched a quick look at the dense forest after giving Princess Yongqing a look.

Breaking into the woods more than two miles away from the official road, Tan Yinghai watched the situation from a distance. In this hidden forest, more than 20 big men are surrounding a woman. The woman knelt down on one knee and supported the ground with her sword, and her body had been overwhelmed

"Strange, why are there so many masters surrounding her?"

Princess Yongqing's eyesight is high, and she can see at a glance that the group of twenty-one people dressed as bandits are all strong in martial arts, and it seems that any of them is enough to be a figure with more than a thousand horsemen, how can they be ordinary bandits. And Tan Yinghai felt strange on the other hand, with this group of people who were stronger than that woman, why did they still stay and work together to subdue her? And she has been missing for more than ten days, how can she escape sniping?

Tan Yinghai didn't take any action, and Princess Yongqing didn't bother to pay attention to it, and there was a sneer that seemed to be gloating at the corner of her mouth.

"Jurchen Eagle Dog."

Tan Yinghai, who had no reason, spit out this sentence in the mouth, and Princess Yongqing couldn't help but be curious. The Jurchens dispatched this terrifying force, and they also pretended to be ghosts and horses just to catch this woman?

Tan Yinghai began to carefully analyze the situation of the two sides, and after carefully observing the other party's personnel, he knew that although the other party only had twenty people, his personal force and the total combat power combined by the group was enough to be worth two trained hundred-person elite regiments, and his strength was indeed ridiculously hard.

Secretly look at your own state, if you fight head-on, even if you can win, you may not be able to save the woman. But they still have two advantages, the biggest one is that they are in the dark, and they can use clever tricks to outwit them.

Whispering in Princess Yongqing's ear, she immediately lifted her spirits, obviously she also wanted to find this group of people to sacrifice the flag, and she couldn't help but smile more and more sweetly, but Tan Yinghai knew that her smile was so sweet that it could melt all men was actually a life-threatening talisman. The two had a heart-to-heart connection, and they gently stepped back hand in hand.

"Huh!!" A big man lifted the spear in his hand and stabbed it straight at the woman's vest, and the dust he brought up rolled up even more momentum. At the same time, another knife wielder danced with a murderous sword aura and slashed straight at her. From the time and the length of the weapon, the coordination of weapons all shows extraordinary tacit understanding and organization, even the combat power of a single individual also shows great power, and it is indeed not something that bandits can do.

The gleam in the woman's eyes flickered, and the long sword in her hand was pulled from the ground and turned to the head of the sword-wielding man beside her. The sword-wielding man could clearly see in the woman's eyes her terrifying and resolute look of no return, determined to die together, and the long sword in her hand was held open and high in the middle, and her speed and momentum were not inferior to his. With a blow that gave her all the strength of his body, he knew that there was absolutely only death and no injury, so he sighed secretly, and finally gave up and retreated.

It was as if he had known it in advance, and with a loud shout, the sword that was originally slashed at the sword-wielding man was still split, but after cooperating with the turn and strange footwork, the long sword turned into a sharp attack on the throat of the sneak attacker in the back and thrust it straight into the throat with all his might.

The same thing happened to the gunman this time, and he was just as helpless as he retreated to avoid him.

After the two retreated, the woman knelt down again, as if she had not moved her hand, and as if she was waiting for the next person to come up and die.

The tall man who presided over the encirclement and suppression frowned, since they sniped this girl more than ten days ago, they actually let another girl sacrifice herself to cover her escape with full confidence. Until she finally caught up with her again just now, but her whole person looked like she was crazy, but after careful observation, she seemed to be still a little sober. Several times they worked together to encircle and suppress, she would always burst out with surprising potential in an instant of life and death, but the most terrifying thing was that she used that potential not to break through, but to use it in the tactics of killing the enemy.

Faced with a battle strategy of not survival but death, he was still encountered for the first time in his life. Although they overwhelmingly sealed off all her escape routes, all her companions knew that she was certain to die today. But people are not grass and trees, and it is not easy for them to besiege and kill such a pathetic and pitiful little girl with twenty-one men with powerful martial arts.

None of the companions beside him were injured, but their faces were not good-looking. It's a simple matter to kill her, but you have to see if any of you are unfortunate enough to die with her.

The presiding officer was about to give an order, even if anyone was unlucky enough to accompany her on the road, he would kill her on the spot, when heavy footsteps came from outside the forest.
