When I came back from my hands and found that the carriage was empty, I turned around and found Changning standing in the ranks of soldiers on foot. He hadn't grown any longer, and was even smaller in it, and went over and asked him why he didn't go to the carriage. He first subconsciously looked around, as if he was afraid of being heard, and then whispered, "I'm not going to ride the carriage, just walk with everyone." ”

"You're not a soldier, what are you doing with them?"

He bowed his head and replied to me awkwardly: "I asked the lieutenant marshal, and he allowed me to walk with the soldiers." You...... Don't worry, I used to walk a lot of way at home to mow the grass and herd the sheep, and I could keep up with the speed. ”

I didn't say anything when I heard what he said, I turned around and left, and I didn't go to find Ah Ping. only blocked Yan Qi and asked with a smile: "Are you good at horseback riding?" Yan Qi didn't understand why I asked this, and habitually talked to me: "Then you still need to say?" Naturally, it's very powerful. I nodded: "That's very good, Changning will ride the same horse with you." After speaking, I got into the carriage, and when I lowered the curtain, I heard Yan Qi complaining to Ah Ping: "Childe, did you see it, she bullied me again." ”

However, Ah Ping's arms have always been turned inward, and only two words were thrown to him: "Bear." ”

can imagine Yan Qi's iron-blue face, and he couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth and smile in the carriage. However, Yan Qi still listened to my words and called Changning to teach him how to get on the horse and how to control his body balance on horseback.

Changning's comprehension is very high, and he has already mastered the essentials after only a few moments of teaching. Yan Qi also laughed: "You kid is not stupid, unlike someone who doesn't even dare to try." Obviously this "someone" was referring to me, but I just thought it was blowing in my ears and it was gone.

If you want to learn to ride a horse, you don't have to rush at this time, and when you settle down, let Ah Ping teach me.

A whole army marches during the day and is stationed on the spot at night to rest, the speed of the march seems to be very fast, but it is actually slow, I don't know how Zhu Di led the troops, but I think if he wants to pursue the Northern Yuan to Kaifeng to save the king of Zhou, then he must win in speed. So the most likely thing is that he ran overnight, but he unexpectedly fell into the ambush of the Northern Yuan.

On the other hand, Ah Ping's leading troops was not as smooth as Zhu Di's, and the generals under him came to ask for a rest at dusk. Ah Ping frowned and agreed. I could see clearly from the sidelines, and there was a flash of dissatisfaction in Ah Ping's eyes, but he didn't raise any objections.

I thought that was the end of it, but in the middle of the night he suddenly came in and woke me up. Ignorantly, he asked, "What's wrong?" His face couldn't be seen clearly in the darkness, and he could only hear a faint voice coming: "It's time to leave." I was stunned and cheered up: "Oh, is it going to dawn?" But he said, "Not yet, it's ugly." ”

When it's ugly? Morning? "Why did you leave at this point?"

"The soldiers are very fast, if you want to save Uncle Wang, you must hurry up and catch up, otherwise we will only have time to collect the corpse when we arrive."

I thought to myself, "Then will you sit in too?" He shook his head, "No, it's my proposal to travel overnight, and it will be difficult for me to convince the public if I don't set an example." I came in just to say hello to you, lest you be frightened when you notice the carriage moving. ”

At very different times, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him, so I had to nod my head and say, "Then you should be careful." He chuckled softly: "Don't worry, daughter-in-law, my horseback riding skills are very good." I glared, "Do you also learn from Yan Qi to laugh at me?" ”

"How dare you? I'll teach you how to ride a horse when I'm free, okay? ”

I didn't think it was going to be in my heart before, but learning to ride a horse in this barracks is a necessary skill. I said, "I was going to tell you about it." He chuckled again, and seemed to be in a better mood, and when I saw that he was about to turn around and get out of the carriage, I grabbed him and quickly imprinted a kiss on his forehead, but he was dissatisfied: "Daughter-in-law, your kiss is too perfunctory, let the husband teach you how to kiss." When the words fell on my lips, I was gagged, full of boarding, without any slurring, and kissed me darkly, and by the time he came back he had patted his ass and left, leaving me alone in the carriage gasping and gritting my teeth.

After a day and a night of hurrying down, I, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't bear it, and I opened the curtain to look outside, and the soldiers were all tired. They are all soldiers raised in the capital, and some may have fought before, but most of them should be new soldiers, and they are really inferior to soldiers who often fight outside in terms of combat ability. I don't know how Ah Ping persuaded the generals to agree to rush in the middle of the night, but it can be like this for one day, two days and three days, and I am afraid that even the soldiers in the barracks will complain without the general's opinion.

It's not a way to go on like this, you have to find a compromise.

When the fire started at noon, I pulled Ah Ping aside and raised the doubts in my heart. He frowned and pondered for a moment, then said to me: "I have also considered this question, and it stands to reason that in my opinion, this noon stove can be avoided, and dry food will be used to satisfy hunger for the time being. It is to take into account the fatigue of the march, rest for an hour before hurrying. ”

"I'm afraid it's not good to go on like this for a long time, and before we can rush to rescue the Yan army, there may be contradictions within our army."

Ah Ping was also worried: "Then how can we break this situation?" ”

I'm heading over there to lead the ring

glanced at it, his heart moved slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "Ah Ping, are there any people you trust among these generals?" He looked at me suspiciously, "What?" I said, "If there is, then if the general is allowed to select elite soldiers from our army to go to the rescue of the Yan army first, do you think it is feasible?" ”

Ah Ping didn't respond immediately, his eyes looked at me fixedly, and I couldn't understand the ghostly light that flashed between his eyes, and asked with some apprehension: "What?" Am I saying something wrong? ”

"Nope." Ah Ping's palm tightly grasped my elbow and said word by word: "Lan, you are really my lucky star." ”

Then he went with one of the generals to the woods to confer a secret meeting, and when they came out, he summoned all the generals to announce their plan. I listened carefully, and it was in accordance with my proposal just now, that the general who made Ah Ping trust was named Li Jinglong, and his prestige in the army seemed to be very high, and after listening to his plan, none of the generals objected, and immediately went down to select elite soldiers.

Within an hour, an elite force of 5,000 men had been mobilized. Li Jinglong led the troops, and set off towards Kaifeng first, while the rest of us also gathered up and continued to set off. In this way, it is only necessary to follow the established route and arrange the itinerary day and night properly, so that the soldiers will not be too tired.

It's just that I thought of the possibility of the soldiers being tired and complaining, but I didn't expect that the situation suddenly changed, and the Northern Yuan army would surround us quietly. Originally, it was impossible to trap us with the strength of the Northern Yuan, but because Mengcheng was a fortress, Ah Ping left 50,000 elite soldiers in Mengcheng before the march, and only led 50,000 troops to Kaifeng to rescue the Yan army. Before, Li Jinglong was asked to take away 5,000 people, and now there are only 45,000 soldiers left, and according to the report, the Northern Yuan army surrounded ten miles away is huge, and it seems that there are 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Knowing that in ancient times, the number of people prevailed in wars, and if the enemy had more troops than his own, even if the commander was brave and good at fighting, it would be useless, after all, there were few examples of winning more with less, and it also relied on geographical environment and excellent timing to win.

At this time, no one would listen to me even if I wanted to make a suggestion, and besides, I was not a person who was familiar with the art of war, and my previous life was a peaceful era. Therefore, I can only wait for Ah Ping and the generals to discuss countermeasures and let the arrangements be made, and what I can do is to try not to cause any more trouble. When Ah Ping came back, I knew that I had made a decision by looking at his eyebrows.

Before he could speak, he asked, "How?" ”

"It is very likely that we have fallen for the plan of the Northern Yuan, they don't mean to Kaifeng, but still Mengcheng. deliberately pretended to attack Kaifeng, first led the Yan army to the rescue, and then secretly set up an ambush to ambush the Yan army to lead us out of Mengcheng. The real purpose of the Northern Yuan is actually us, I discussed with the generals to come up with a countermeasure, here is only twenty miles away from Yaoguan, and later a vanguard will be able to fight a bloody road, and then you will break out of that mouth with the army, there is my Ming garrison over there, and I can meet you at that time. ”

I didn't sound right, "What do you guys?" You're not going with me? ”

Ah Ping was silent, the emotion in his dark eyes made me feel flustered, and he grabbed his arm, "What decision did you make?" Why did I break through with the army and go out of Yaoguan? What about you? ”

The flickering light in his calm eyes made my heart sink, and I heard him say in a calm tone: "I am the deputy marshal, and I am the biggest if the commander is not there. Lan, don't worry about me, I still have a plan after you break out, and I will be able to meet you in Yaoguan soon. ”

I opened my mouth and didn't make a sound, wanting to say that if he didn't go, I wouldn't go, but the thought that had just turned around was rolling in my head—if it couldn't help him, at least don't make a mess.

I finally realized how painful it is to forbear. I gritted my teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement." He clearly saw that Ah Ping's eyebrows were relieved, and then he went to arrange and arrange.

I kept my eyes on him, not missing a moment of his turn of face. Keep comforting ourselves, it is impossible for me and him to have an accident now, the time has not come, this time we will definitely be able to save the day. This is one of the reasons why I immediately agreed with his decision, this is the first time I am glad that I know the fruit, but there is a bit of sadness in this happiness.

When I was scheduled to go on the road, I couldn't help but be shocked, Ah Ping, he was crazy! I actually arranged all the brocade guards to go with me, and I didn't even leave Uncle Mu! What is he going to do? Do you want to send me away and put yourself in danger?

I stood in front of the carriage and resolutely refused to get up, Ah Ping helplessly glared at the green lotus on the side and scolded: "Green lotus, don't send your master to the carriage yet!" You are also with you in the carriage for your protection, and if there is any trouble on the way, you do not have to come back to me. ”

As soon as Green Lotus heard his order, he really wanted to take me, and I was furious and shouted: "Who dares to touch me!" Not only Green Lotus paused, but even Ah Ping was drunk by me, and he looked at me with a worried face, "Don't be stubborn, time is pressing." ”

I shook my head, stared at him word by word, and said, "Zhu Yunwen, if your calculation is to sacrifice yourself for me, then I advise you to dispel this thought." In any case, Uncle Mu must stay, otherwise I will never leave. You could have told them to knock me unconscious and send me away, but you can try to do so, and see if I ignore you in the future. ”

At this time, I don't care about the same eyes as others, he has his faith to keep when life and death are at stake, but not sacrifice. Uncle Mu has to stay no matter what, and only by keeping Uncle Mu by his side can I leave with a little peace of mind.
