Chapter 046: Preparations on the eve of the battle
Because it was dark, Dora did not want to linger any longer, so he led his horse out of the courtyard, but he still remembered the woman's voice.
If it weren't for the fact that his father was trapped and his sister was seriously ill this time, he would definitely stay here for a while and talk to the two women. Although there were only a few words between each other, and there were not many words, Doro thought that if they could get acquainted, they must be people who could get acquainted with each other slowly.
He even secretly wondered in his heart whether that woman had the same heart as him, but he didn't know if he would have another chance to meet in the future?
Doro thought as he walked. Then he followed the path inside, groping for the way he came, and after a while, he saw the carriage of Temur and his sister.
He saw Temur standing outside, leaning against the handle of the carriage, and was about to fall asleep.
Hearing the voice, Temur was alert and saw Doro walking towards him lightly, but he did not react.
It wasn't until Doro walked to Temur's side that Temur spoke to him.
"Your horse has the sound of Dada's hooves, and you have footsteps when you walk, do you want to come quietly and make an ambush?"
Doro saw that Temur was in a good mood and became relaxed.
"Yes, I wanted to give you a sneak attack, but thinking that the weather is so cold, and you are still standing outside and keeping vigil for your sister, I am not in a hurry to sneak attack."
Doro's personality is calm, and he seems to be more gentle when he speaks.
"I'm not keeping a vigil for your sister, I'm keeping a vigil for her, I can go to the carriage, I'm waiting for you."
Temur looked at him and shook his head helplessly.
"What are you waiting for me to do? There are no more than ten miles in here, and you can't hear what is going on? ”
"Even if the wind blows, it will take a quarter of an hour to save you. My sister was worried about you and couldn't sleep, so I told her that I would wait, and slowly she fell asleep. ”
Doro handed the coarse bread in his hand to Temur.
"That's it, it's too late, I'll go around tomorrow to see if there's any mutton or something?"
"Mutton may not be found, but young women, there must be no shortage here."
Temur held the coarse bread in his hand and whispered a word.
"Wow, you're stalking me? No wonder, I always felt like there was someone behind me, so I hurried back. ”
"I don't follow you, and I don't feel comfortable letting those followers follow. I'm in charge of your business, and I'm going to take care of your sister's business. ”
Temur said with a smile.
"And Father!" Doro looked at Temur's face, but he was about to stand there, distracted!
"Don't panic, we'll go meet Gru tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several tall figures appear in the dark shadows in front of them, hurrying towards this direction, and Temur and Doro immediately became alert.
The people in the surrounding carriages also immediately took out their sabers and waited for them.
"Don't be afraid, I'm Gru, and you're the prince of Temur and Doro!"
Hearing the names of the two people accurately called, the hand holding the saber suddenly stopped.
The visitor gradually approached, and his body was very tall with a broad and thick shoulder, and a thick felt hat was worn on his head.
"I'm Gru, you?"
He glanced at the two of them quickly.
"The young one must be Prince Dora, who has seen Prince Doro."
The man saluted Doro and looked at Temur.
"You must be Temur!"
"Yes, I am Temur."
Temur looked at the dark-faced Gru, "How do you know we are?" ”
"General Baoli asked us to meet you here, because this time is in the ice and snow period, this is the closest way back to the desert, you come with me to the house to warm up."
Then he was going to take them with him.
"The princess is still in the car."
"Princess? The princess is back? ”
Gru seemed to be very happy when he heard this.
"I didn't expect the princess to come back with you this time, so let's ask the stables to come with us, go back to eat and drink first, and then we have to discuss the affairs of the desert quickly, General Baoli is very anxious now!"
Dora had seen Gru in the Desert Palace, so he had heard of him as a person, and he turned his gaze to Temur.
Temur nodded, and Doro was relieved.
When Temur returned to the car, he saw that Princess Sura was still asleep, so he did not wake her.
Soon, they followed Gru to a place where the yurt was tied.
Gru called his attendant Bada, and brought a lot of mutton and beef, all freshly cooked.
Princess Sura had now been invited into the tent, and she leaned on a long mat while drinking mare's milk wine, while Temur tore off the roasted mutton and handed it to her.
"I, Gru, naturally don't like to shoot horses, so the Great Khan doesn't necessarily like me. But now that the Great Khan is in trouble, since my tent is outside the palace, I can't leave it alone this time. It's not that it doesn't matter, and it must be saved from the Great Khan. ”
As soon as everyone heard this, their confidence increased for a while. Coupled with the cold winter, I just ate some roasted mutton and drank some wine, and I suddenly felt full of strength.
"All the soldiers and horses in Shah Banner now add up to 8,000 people."
Temur and Doro couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Don't worry, although I don't have many people, most of them are from the cavalry battalion. These people were all in tents near the king's palace, driven by the Great Khan. It was only later that these people were gradually squeezed out by Saktu or other banner people, and finally these people all came under my name, and I was a tribal camp exiled from the palace. ”
Doro looked at Gru and couldn't help but say.
"Unexpectedly, it was you people who came in handy at a critical moment."
"Prince Dora, don't say these things again, it's a shame to say it. The king is willing to follow the Great Khan to the death. Since the day I was born in the desert, I have only known one king in the desert, and that is the Great Khan, and no matter what others say about me, I am the person of the Great Khan. ”
Temur looked at him and nodded.
They gathered around an oil lamp, and Gru picked up a few pieces of sheep's head and placed them in different places.
"You see, this is the palace of the king of Kmur, and on the left is the soldiers and horses of the Samu banner, two hundred li. On the right is the soldiers and horses of Khan Yi Guoqing Geldtai, who gathered 30,000 people. The palace was besieged from the west and from the north. Less than fifty miles in front of the palace of the king of Kemur was a river, which was now frozen, but in front of it was a high mountain. Inside and outside the palace, there are only about 15,000 soldiers and horses, and General Baoli was stopped outside the encirclement by Qinggeltai, and he couldn't enter at all. ”
"What about the east side?" Doro asked.
"To the east is an endless grassland, where the soldiers and horses of Qinggeltai have long been ambushed."
"The only way we can go now is through the mountains, right?"
Gru nodded. "Yes. We checked there, and there were no soldiers and horses in ambush in Qinggeltai, because their soldiers and horses were limited after all. ”
"This can give us a chance, but time is tight, can we make it?"
"If you set off at night, it is estimated that you will be able to rush to the palace early the day after tomorrow."
"In that case, what are you waiting for?"
At the moment, Doro seems to be impatient, completely opposite to his usual personality.
"I know the feelings of Prince Dora, this is the only way, if you decide to go, you have to think about it. Because the road is very difficult, you may not reach the palace before you can reach the palace, and you will fall halfway there. Because the road is very dangerous, and there are many rivers, now that everything is frozen during the ice and snow season, it is even more difficult to lead a horse on it. ”
"Don't hesitate, let's go immediately, I think the state of the palace may be worse than ours here, just Princess Suluo?"
Temur looked at Princess Suluo not far behind him: "And her body, I'm worried." ”
Temur sighed unconcernedly.
"I'll leave this matter to General Baoli, I think it's most appropriate for General Baoli to send someone here to pick up the princess. So, where is Princess Sura's next destination? ”
"Zhongyuan, she was poisoned in Samuqi, and she needs to go to Zhongyuan for treatment, where there are people who can help her heal."
"Okay, Temur, Doro follow me, and go up the hill with a group of men, leaving a small group of men, and attack from the east, and lead away another group of men and horses of Qinggeltai, and cut off their retreat. As long as we can open a gap, General Baoli arrives with his men and horses, and we can hold Qinggeltai hostage, and at that time, even if he inserts his wings, he will not be able to escape. ”
Gru seemed to see the light in front of him. The coming war has turned him almost into a lion.
"I was born to fight, when there is no war, I don't have any energy, now it's okay, I'm going to call Qinggeltai and his tribe to learn how powerful Gru is."
Gru clenched his fists as he said this.
Doro and Temur nodded.
After several people discussed and confirmed, Temur walked up to Princess Suro's side and asked in a low voice.
"Princess, did you hear what we just said?"
Princess Suro nodded.
"I know, you must want to go with us, but the way to go is very dangerous, and taking you with you will also affect our itinerary, then we will be separated for a while, and when the crisis in the Kemur Palace is resolved, I will immediately take someone to the Central Plains to pick you up, what do you say?"
In fact, Princess Su Luo heard all those words just now, and he knew that the danger of these people was a hundred times more difficult than her.
This time, Princess Suro didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Don't worry, I will wait for the good news from you, I also want to live well, cure the disease as soon as possible, wait for you to return from victory, and never be a lamb to be slaughtered in the future."
"I believe that one day, Princess Suluo will also be able to lead soldiers and horses to fight on the battlefield."
Princess Suro looked at Temur and smiled softly. Although she knew that the smile was a little early, she seemed to see hope in Temur's eyes.
