A charcoal basin had risen in the warm tent, which was wrapped in cowhide and made of snowcoat wood, and although the cold wind was raging outside, it was tight here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"It's a good place, maybe it's still the residence of the Jurchen prince." Shen Ao put on a fur coat, his cheeks were a little red, he sniffed, and thought comfortably.

The air is still filled with blood, but after being out of the customs for so long, there are seven or eight tribes attacked, and there are many people killed, so there are no so many taboos, Shen Ao sat in front of the charcoal basin, tightened the robe on his body, and listened to the doctor report the casualties of the battle.

In this battle, 3,143 Jurchen people were killed, which shows that the scale of this clan is not small among the Jurchen tribes, and most of them will exceed 5,000 people in their heyday, but in this desert, the men have gone to fight, leaving only women and children, otherwise victory will never come so easily.

The losses of the cavalry of the Navy Division are not small, at least Shen Ao thinks so, although there are only six killed in the battle, but there are more than 100 people injured, and now these people are being treated, except for a few who are seriously injured, most of them are not seriously injured.

Such a record is enough in the eyes of the princes of the court, but Shen Ao is not satisfied, he knows in his heart that the cavalry of the Navy Division has been very different after days of fierce battles, and after years of harsh training, coupled with the tempering of the corpse mountain and sea of blood, this cavalry can be described as unparalleled in the world. can be compared with him, the five clans of Hengshan are counted as half, the abducted horse army of the Jin country, and the Tiefutu army are counted as two. Such a tiger wolf, against a group of old and weak women and children of the Jurchens, was outnumbered by the crowd, but the casualties exceeded three digits, which made Shen Ao very dissatisfied.

After a while, the generals who had settled the camp arrived one after another, and Shen Ao asked the cavalry camp officer, "Have the scouts been sent out?" ”

The battalion officer said: "All ten scout teams have been dispatched, and if there is any wind and grass within a radius of 100 miles, there will definitely be news." ”

Shen Ao nodded and said, "That's good, after a few days of traveling, everyone is tired, let the soldiers have eaten, and rest immediately." Shen Ao tiredly hooked the charcoal basin with tongs, and continued: "Rest for a few days, and recuperate enough, I'm afraid that in a while, there will be a tough battle to be fought, let's assemble from Suzhou and Hangzhou, Quanzhou, and go to sea from Penglai, for this battle, success or failure depends on these few days." ”

Everyone said yes, Shen Ao was a little tired, leaned on the chair and took a nap, who knew that this sleep had been sleeping until the early morning of the next day, Zhou Heng was excited to call him for dinner, and saw that he was sleeping soundly, so he didn't dare to disturb. When Shen Ao woke up, he called someone to ask what news there was, Zhou Heng said: "There is no news at all, the ten scout teams came back early this morning, and there is no sign of the Jurchen military horses moving nearby." ”

Shen Ao nodded, thinking in his heart, when they usually attacked the tribes on the grassland, the Jurchens could often receive the news within five hours, and they could come in about ten hours, but today they couldn't even see a ghost.

Shen Ao pondered and said, "Explore again." ”

Zhou Heng went down to give the order, the Jurchens still didn't have any news, as if they didn't care about the life and death of the tribes of the five countries, the sailor cavalry rested here for two days, and they were already in good spirits, and at this time, a knight in Jurchen costume came on a flying horse, and bumped into the patrolling ranger along the way, and the ranger saw this person's Jurchen attire, and immediately became vigilant, and pulled out their long knives and rode their horses to meet them.

As soon as he made contact, before he could make a move, the other party had already said in proficient Chinese: "Where is His Royal Highness King Pingxi?" Jinyiwei Beijing Road 100 households have important things to report, without further ado, take me quickly. ”

After a closer look, I found that although this person was wearing Jurchen braids, a warm hat on his head, and a fur coat on his body, this face was full of Han Chinese, his eyes were dark, he must have not slept well for a long time, and there was a thorough tiredness all over his body.

This brocade guard hundred households from the waist to untie a waist card, throw it to the rangers to see, a ranger officer took it, and can not tell what is the waist card of the brocade guard, but this waist card carving is good, if this person is really a Jurchen, may not be able to have this level of craftsmanship, then said: "Come with us." ”

Beat the horse all the way back to the camp of the five tribes, and when he arrived at the Yuanmen, he asked the hundred households to dismount, and asked someone to report on the one hand, and checked and disarmed his weapons on the other hand, until the news came out from the Chinese army and let the hundred households in, and then let the people into the big tent.

"Humble Beijing Dao Hundred Households, Hundred Households, Qiu Zhen has seen His Highness." As soon as the hundred households entered the big tent, they bowed their heads, raised their eyes, and saw Shen Ao with a certain fanaticism in their eyes.

The duties of the Jinyi guards in Beijing Province are the most important, and they are in the desert, the difficulties can be imagined, they are scattered all over Beijing Province, some pretend to be Jurchens, some pretend to be merchants, and some even enter the Jurchen aristocratic mansion as slaves and servants, but everyone remembers their own identity and their duties.

One of the most important reasons why they can be so desperate is that Shen Ao, the king of Pingxi, His Royal Highness the King of Pingxi is a very popular minister, with great martial arts, and no one in the world is afraid of it, and no one is dissatisfied. Although they were in the desert, they could still hear Shen Ao's name from time to time, and whether it was the Jurchens or the people of all ethnic groups in the desert who said his name, their tones trembled.

In the eyes of the Jinyi guards, it is a great honor to serve under the command of King Pingxi, so although they have encountered all kinds of setbacks and hardships, they still have hope, and they believe that one day, His Royal Highness the King of Pingxi will be useful to them.

And now, the time has come to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them.

Shen Ao smiled and bowed his head towards Qiu Zhen, and said in a gentle tone: "No need to be polite, stand up and speak." ”

Qiu Zhen stood up on his knees and said: "Beixia came in a hurry, to urgently report a news, Beixia's identity in Beijing Dao is a merchant, stationed in the grassland tribe east of Linhuang Mansion to inquire about the news, from the intelligence collected from everywhere, these days the Jurchen cavalry has been frequently moved, it is said that even the Jin army of Linhuang Mansion has been transferred out of thousands, it seems that the Jin army of all walks of life is assembled in the area of the Niuwang Tent. ”

Shen Ao didn't dare to slack off, behind him, there was a huge map hanging, he turned around, looked for the location of the Niu Wang Tent, looked at it for a long time, and finally found this place fifty miles west of Linhuang Mansion, he looked at the map, and said, "You go on." ”

Qiu Zhen said: "Not only that, but there are also many rumors in Linhuang Mansion, and it seems that a large number of enemies have appeared in the west of Linhuang Mansion. ”

Shen Ao said: "Can you confirm it?" ”

"I don't dare to confirm it, but the transfer of the Jin army is not wrong, and I dare to guarantee it with a head."

Shen Ao suddenly laughed and said, "Li Qing and Ghost Zhihuan are here!" ”

"Ah......" Qiu Zhen was puzzled for a while.

Shen Ao said lightly: "The decisive battle is about to start, Qiu Baihu, your news is very good, this king has been thinking about it for the past two days, why did this king kill the Jurchens here, but the Jurchen cavalry did not move, and now it seems that it should be the king's Xixia iron cavalry." ”

The mobilization of the Western Xia Iron Cavalry was an order given by Shen Ao a long time ago, but Shen Ao couldn't imagine that the Western Xia Iron Cavalry would come so quickly.

Shen Ao dispatched 10,000 cavalry troops to assemble with the Western Xia Iron Cavalry in the area of Linhuang Mansion, and work together to fight a decisive battle with the Jin Army in the area of Linhuang Mansion.

Shen Ao looked back and said to Qiu Zhen: "Qiu Baihu must be tired, go down to rest first, Zhou Heng, gather the generals." ”

Qiu Zhen retired, and the battalion officers of the cavalry also came one after another, and the officers and doctors stood sideways in the big tent in two shifts, and Shen Ao stood at the top, looking forward to it, revealing a little nervousness.

The Western Xia Iron Cavalry and the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty had 110,000, and the number should be twice that of the Beijing Daojin Army, and Shen Ao led the Sailing Division Cavalry to attack and harass everywhere, the Jin Army was miserable and exhausted, and the Jin Army in the area of Linhuang Mansion did not have the elite of the Jin Army like Kidnapping Horse and Tiefutu, and the Song-Xia Coalition Army had obvious advantages with more strikes and fewer blows. However, the relationship between this battle is very great, and if you win, you will go straight to Linhuang Mansion, and the world will be shaken. But once defeated, the pattern of the world is only afraid to be different again.

Shen Ao was inevitably a little nervous, he was silent for a moment, a trace of resoluteness flashed in his eyes, he stood up, his deep eyes swept over the faces of every general, and said lightly: "One hundred thousand Xia troops have arrived in Linhuang Mansion, and from today on, the sailor cavalry will fight side by side with them!" ”

Between Song and Xia, they have long abandoned their previous suspicions, Xia Jun is Shen Ao's left hand, and the water master is Shen Ao's right arm, in the heart of the water master, there is no difference between the water master and the Xia army. Before leaving, Shen Ao only said that he would go straight to Linhuang Mansion, and did not reveal the news of the Xia army's exit, but now the sudden arrival of 100,000 Xia troops made the officers of the Navy Division feel refreshed and their morale was also high.

Shen Ao continued: "This battle is related to the well-being of the people in the world, and even the survival of my Great Song Dynasty. Shen Ao paused, a hint of arrogance flashed in his eyes, and said, "Who is Wanyan Aguda?" The chieftain is just a chief, and he dares to be the emperor? Today, this king will go straight to the lair of the Jurchen chieftain, and he will take all his relatives and relatives captive and kill his clan! ”

"Kill!" Everyone excitedly agreed.

Shen Ao's tone softened, and he said, "Pass on the order of the king, after an hour, the whole army will set off and go to Linhuang Mansion. ”

Everyone shouted murderously: "Go to Linhuang Mansion and sleep with the woman who is beaten by Yan Agu." ”

Shen Ao raised his arms and shouted: "Wanyan Aguta's daughter is left to this king." ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Zhou Heng also raised his arms and shouted: "The daughters of Wanyan Aguda are all escorted to the Pingxi Palace to be slaves and maids for the princess!" ”

When Shen Ao heard the words of the princess, he poured a basin of cold water on his head, and immediately laughed: "This is a joke, don't take it seriously, let's go and prepare!" ”

Everyone snickered and dispersed, and several people seemed to be muttering in a low voice, as if to say: "It is really a burden to take your brother-in-law on the expedition, everyone must remember this lesson, Your Highness has set an example for you and me, and you must not repeat his mistakes again." ”

Several of the others nodded their heads in a peck, agreeing.
