Chapter 127 [I Owe You]

The joy on the grassland has not stopped, and the killing field is already filled with gunsmoke. Xiao Yan, the king of Liang, in the name of the Marquis of Dongdu's lack of skill, brutality, and wanton killing, the crusading army that increased its appeal with the "Qing monarch's side" has moved south again, capturing Xinye and Nanyang one after another, and the front is approaching Yongzhou. In March of the following year, Xiao Yan, Shen Yue, and Fan Yun led troops to fight against the Northern Wei army, and were surrounded by tens of thousands of iron cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Dengcheng, northwest of Yongzhou, lacking grain, grass and guns, and fell into a siege for a while-

The sun sets, the glow is spreading, the remnant sun is like blood, and the drops are still crying. Xiao Yan climbed to the top of the city and saw that the soldiers outside the gatehouse surrounded the gatehouse on three floors and three layers outside, but no one moved, only listened to the leading general of the Northern Wei Dynasty who was persuading him to surrender.

Shen Yue saw Xiao Yan coming, and hurriedly saluted, "Lord Wang, after counting, now our grain and grass can not last for a few days, and if it drags on like this, I am afraid that if the Wei army does not come to attack the city, we will starve to death here first.........

"On the eve of the war, the king has sent Sima Zhangji of the left army to escort the grain and grass." Xiao Yan looked outside the gatehouse and asked, "How sure can you be if you break through?"

"I'm not sure at all." Fan Yun also walked over and hurriedly said: "The surprise attack of the Wei army is unexpected, we have not the slightest preparation, and Sima Zhang Ji of the left army has not arrived for a long time, and the morale of the soldiers has gradually decreased, not to mention that Jiuyi is not around the prince........."

Xiao Yan suddenly looked stunned, stared at Fan Yun and Shen Yue, and smiled at each other tacitly, "Jiuyi is looking for her, only by sending Jiuyi can we get her back.........."

Under the afterglow of the sunset, only the memories of the past poured out of the brain like wisps of afterglow, when I was in school—

"Mo'er, the soldiers and horses here are concentrated in the six battalions of Xiao Cavalry, Forward, Guard, Infantry, and Jianrui."

"I really haven't studied the art of war or anything like that, our soldiers and horses are really brave and invincible..........

"Bring my military book, military book, military book.........." Ru Mo opened her eyes, sat up, turned her head to see Tuobatao's cold and indifferent face, and tried to open her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say a word with trembling lips.

Tuoba Tao picked up a book of soldiers and threw it to Ru Mo, "You don't want to give birth to children for me in this yurt, you want to go to the battlefield?"

Ru Mo didn't hear Tuoba Tao's previous sentence in a trance, only heard the latter sentence, and said unwillingly giving up the opportunity: "From the current point of view, Rouran's threat to the Northern Wei Dynasty is the greatest, if we continue to send troops south to harass us, it will cause great damage to Liu Song's Southern Yan, Xu, Yan, Henan, Qing and Hebei Prefectures, in such a confrontational situation, are you sure to destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty and unify the whole country?"

Tuoba Tao hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "In this treacherous and changing political situation, there is no safety anywhere, and no one can put their safety in the hands of others, so don't think about it, maybe we are still the safest here, you just have to be my queen in peace, don't worry about anything else, a woman, shouldn't participate in political affairs, fighting is a man's business, it doesn't belong to you." ”

Ru Mo pondered for a long time, shook her head and said: "Over the years, Xianbei people have lived a nomadic hunting life, and have exercised a strong physique, a fierce personality and superb riding and archery skills. The army, especially the cavalry, was an important tool for defeating the enemy in the Northern Wei Dynasty. But on the other hand, if the Northern Wei Dynasty joins forces with Liu Song, Xia, Northern Yan, and Northern Liang, or the Northern Wei Dynasty annexes Great Qi, what should you do at that time?"

Tuoba Tao frowned when he heard this, "You finally got to the point, what you are afraid of is not that the Northern Wei Dynasty will attack Rouran, but that the Northern Wei Dynasty will attack Daqi, right?" Have you ever thought that as long as I let you go, maybe one day it will not be the Northern Wei army that will attack me first, but the soldiers and horses of Daqi?"

Ru Mo nodded, but shook her head again, and only muttered: "No, I won't let this happen, the terrain of the Northern Wei Dynasty is not good, if Daqi and Rouran join forces, it will not be a problem to destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty, then we will have a glimmer of life." ”

Tuoba Tao sighed lightly and said with concern: "Now my soft situation, is based on the efforts to ease the contradictions with the hostile regime through envoys, tributes, marriages, and establish friendly relations, once such a relationship is broken, it is a person, can swallow me up softly, a hundred years later, will there be my Tuoba Tao's descendants in this land?"

"Yes, I promise you, I will keep little Fuluo safe for the rest of his life." Ru Mo's words were extremely straightforward.

Tuoba Tao murmured, "Why don't you want to stay and be my queen?" We can watch Fu Luo grow up together, and we can help him destroy foreign enemies and build a peaceful and prosperous ........."

"I have to go back, if I don't go back, one day, Xiao Yan will come and destroy Rouran, I'm afraid, I can't let that happen." Ru Mo used enough reasons to convince herself.

Tuoba Tao smiled coldly, "It's really wrong, you obviously want to rush back to send him grain and grass, why do you say such a lot of reasons?" Women, they can't pass the word 'love'. ”

Ru Mo hugged the military book in her hand tightly, sweat beaded between her sideburns, and she said with tears: "I can't watch him have something, can't, can't, can't......... If you don't give me bread and grass, I'll run back.........."

Tuoba Tao wrinkled his eyebrows and was silent, and after a while, Fang shouted: "Come on, prepare grain and grass, and escort the queen out of Rouran to the Central Plains." Then with a smile, he looked at her, "Since you gave me 'Suhexiang wine', I owe you, now it's okay, I can finally pay it back!"

In the first battle of Dengcheng, Xiao Yan first ordered Fan Yun to lead his troops to surround Yongzhou, and killed Dengcheng Duwei to assassinate Shi, and then divided the troops into three routes, one route to Shen Yue in the city, and one route to the Pingbei general Wang Guangzhi to command, and collected a large number of officials and prisoners, captured and guarded; On the other hand, Ning Shuo's general Pei Shuye led 3,000 forward troops to join up with 2,000 Jianrui troops.

Pei Shuye led an army of 5,000 and stationed in the barracks outside the city gate, and when Xiao Yan's order was issued and the team was ready to enter the city, he was unexpectedly surrounded by the Northern Wei army. But Pei Shuye quickly reached an agreement with Xiao Yan and prepared to lead his troops to evacuate early. After having the backbone, the Qi army launched a hatred, but there was a fierce spirit, and they defeated many Wei troops with a strong formation.

In the gold-armored cavalry group, he is always different - the jewels on the crown are shining, the tall and handsome figure, and the riding horse is even more solemn, awe-inspiring and noble.

The gold-armored army, the sword and the banner, the white robe and silver armor, the five dragons and the crown of the rising sun, such an army, such a main general, only swept like the torrent of steel, rushing away all the obstacles in front of them.

Xiao Yan ordered the herald to restrain military discipline on the one hand, and on the other hand encouraged the soldiers: "The rear of the enemy soldiers has collapsed, as long as we take advantage of the situation to attack, we will definitely be able to take down the leader of the Wei army." ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers instantly became an elite who was not frightened, the chief general of the Wei army, seeing his soldiers fall like a mountain, hurriedly waved his hand, so that the soldiers were evacuated to the periphery, and wanted to join the rear.

Xiao Yan was surrounded by a hundred personal soldiers, accompanied by Shen Yue and Fan Yun, and temporarily lived in the palace in the city. There was a strange killing coldness flowing under the moonlight, he held the talisman in his hand, and said with a smile: "The cavalry must be withdrawn tonight, and the herald soldiers are ordered to shrink their positions, as for Wang Guangzhi, let him answer outside the city." ”

Shen Yue calmed down and said in a panic: "The prince is so desperate, isn't he afraid of the enemy's surprise attack?"

Fan Yun couldn't help but smile, and said with victory in his hand: "Don't be afraid, I have led a team of horsemen out of the city from the side and outflanked the enemy's rear camp. ”

"Now that the Wei army is in chaos, the soldiers and horses of the two armies will continue to stalemate, if they charge into battle during the day and kill the remnants of the army at night, it will not only have little chance of winning, but also too delay, so since Emperor Wei has come to fight with us for this city, it is better for us to invite the king into the urn." After Xiao Yan added, he directly ordered: "Let the word go out and tell the general of the Wei army that there is a leader inside and a besieger outside, if he is willing to surrender, this king can spare his life." ”

Fan Yun raised his eyebrows and praised: "Okay, the prince is going to force the main general of the Wei army to be urgent, let him gather soldiers and horses to attack the city, by that time we have already withdrawn from the city, come to it to close the door and beat the dogs, happy, happy!"

"No." Shen Yue said uneasily: "Although the Wei army is now entangled by our soldiers and horses, it can't be delayed for much time, the spies I sent back came back and said that the Wei cavalry outside the city has made a desperate attack, and it can support until this time, which means that their pass is also difficult to break, so it is difficult to ensure that when we go out of the city, we will not be besieged, the minister does not care, I am afraid that the prince will have a golden body, if there is a mistake, how can I explain to my sister?"

Fan Yun's face couldn't help twitching, and he said with a loss of color: "No, the prince has Jiuyi's protection, and it must be foolproof." ”

Xiao Yan sighed slightly, and the room was immediately silent. Shen Yue couldn't bear it, took a step forward, and couldn't help but say: "Everyone is dead, why should the prince lament for Ru Mo, now that the big thing is now, the prince must not be distracted, I believe that my sister's spirit in the sky will also bless the prince to get what he wants." ”

"She's not dead!"

"She died, my godsister Ru Mo died, she died in the coffin of the golden silk nanmu that the prince personally prepared for her."

"This king said that she is not dead, so she is not dead."

"Why haven't you heard from you for so long? Where can she go?"

"Someone said they saw her........"

Since the miscarriage, Ru Mo's health has not been good, and when she came to Rou, she not only fell seriously ill, but also fainted at every turn, and her physique was extremely weak. On this day, she felt more comfortable, and she was a little bored in the yurt, so she decided to go out for a walk.

The air on the grassland is always much better than that in the Central Plains, and as soon as Ru Mo sat on the ground, she saw a woman dressed in a riding costume coming towards her.

Ru Mo glanced sideways at the glamorous woman beside her, and smiled slightly at the visitor, "The princess's equestrian costume is five-colored and spelled, and it cannot be shaped, look at it in detail, it is eye-catching, and it is a grand ornament ........"

"Oh? Does the queen recognize me?"

"I heard Xiao Fuluo mention that his mother likes to wear riding clothes very much, and there are almost no people who dare to wear them like this on this grassland, so I guess you must be Princess Luzuo." Ru Mo smiled decently, and invited Princess Lu Zuo to sit down.

Princess Luzuo looked at Ru Mo, her eyes faintly flashed a mixed smile, and said lightly: "King Khan has not been crowned queen since he succeeded to the throne, since I gave birth to Fuluo, he is extremely fond of Fuluo, he said that among the many children, only Fuluo is the most like him, I thought that the queen's position was none other than my Luzuo, I didn't expect you to come, you, a woman from the Central Plains, suddenly captured the heart of our Khan King, and let him canonize you as the queen so quickly........ I've always been curious about you, and when I saw you today, I had to admit that you were more than smart, but not good looking. ”
