Chapter 537: The Beginning of an Intertwined Story
A day has passed since the siege.
The smell of blood still lingered at the head of the city, and the atmosphere of slaughter had long since disappeared, and the female soldiers of Yelan Kingdom on the city wall supported and bandaged each other, and the people recruited in the city were walking among the corpses, searching for the wounded soldiers of the foreign barbarians, Ugoli, and Jukan Kingdom, and then stepped forward to make up for each other and kill them.
The female soldiers of Yelan Country are no worse than men in this regard.
Xia reinforcements fought two battles with the barbarians in the Gobi outside the city, until the barbarians withdrew their troops, and they found an opportunity to regain control of the city in a respite.
Even if a day has passed, the city is still noisy, the encouragement of victory is passed on to each other among the female soldiers, and occasionally, there are war horses running on the Gobi outside the city, which is the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom.
At this moment, the female soldiers of Yelan Kingdom completely relaxed, looked at the Xia State cavalry roaring forward outside the city, and saluted one after another, watching them come and go up and down the Gobi.
The foreign barbarians have not yet left, and the defense of the city walls does not dare to take it lightly.
Bai Nani stood behind the battlements, her armor was still the same, although it had been cleaned, there were still many places where the blood had formed a bloody scale, which was difficult to erase.
She watched the dust raised on the Gobi and the Xia cavalry rushing past.
Thinking that this afternoon, the other party's main general was about to enter the city, he turned around and took the few remaining soldiers down the city, rode back to the palace.
"Mobilize the people of the city to help fortify the walls...... Keep vigilant, the barbarians in the west, as well as Ugo and Jukan, have not gone far, and they may be killed back at any time...... I'll go back to Her Royal Highness first. ”
For yesterday's Xia cavalry to complete the strategic purpose on the Gobi and force the western barbarians away, the morale of the whole city suddenly boiled.
Bai Nani is naturally happy, but as the few remaining generals of the Yelan Kingdom, she will still maintain a vigilant attitude towards every move of the Xia Kingdom's cavalry.
After all, the Xia Kingdom swept through the six countries, and the arrogance of annihilating hundreds of thousands of Japanese robbers overseas in one fell swoop had to be dealt with carefully, the other party came from a world where men were respected, and it was completely different from Yelan Kingdom, and it was hard to say whether the other party would mess around.
However, in the past month, the battle on the city wall has made her almost unable to feel life and death...... It is hard to imagine that the army of the Xia State has been fighting from a few years ago to the present, from the ground to the sea.
How did the Emperor of Xia State train such an army......
Fortunately, everything survived, Yelan Kingdom was saved, and the 170,000 people in the city were also preserved, and they would not be reduced to food.
Thinking of this, Bai Nani has already arrived at the palace.
“…… How's that over there? ”
Entering the palace, Queen Itas got up from the throne, dragged her long tulle skirt and slowly walked down the stairs covered with blankets, and greeted the concubine and the head of the guard, Bai Nani.
"It's business as usual, but there have been many casualties since this month, and the mood is not good. I have sent for pacification in the city. ”
Itas's expression was dark, "By the way, the Xia army outside, can there be any other moves?" ”
As the king of a country, she has to take everything into account, and naturally she will also worry about the reinforcements of the Xia cavalry, and she will have other thoughts.
However, fortunately, he heard that the other party was camping outside the city, forming a horn with the city, and constantly sent scout teams to monitor every move of the Western barbarians.
Yesterday's battle on the other side, Itas hurriedly glanced at the city wall, and did not have much impression, or not too much understanding.
Afterwards, when she returned to the palace, Bai Nani explained to her that the two Xia cavalry generals showed control of the battle situation, and the operational ability of the cavalry under their command was rare in the world.
Itas was also wary of the possibility that the Xia army would suddenly seize the city.
After listening to Bai Nani's words, he suddenly felt that his face was burning red, if the other party wanted Yelan Kingdom, he didn't need to relieve her at all, and when the war was nearing the end, the Western barbarians showed their fatigue, and then they would kill her.
Today, Itas inspected the city and pacified the people, and sent messengers to the camp of the Xia army outside the city.
At this time, the other party should already be on the way here.
The two talked for a while, and a guard came in from outside, a stout female guard, standing outside the temple gate, kneeling on one knee.
"Queen Qiyu, the generals of the Xia Kingdom have entered the city."
The two glanced at each other in the main hall, and immediately, they immediately asked the palace attendants to prepare for the banquet, no matter what, it was a fact that the other party solved the danger of Yelan City.
Just when Itas gave the order, the generals of the Xia Kingdom in their mouths were already in the vigilant sight of the female soldiers of the Yelan Kingdom in the city, and only a few horses entered the city gate.
Lu Bu looked at the mottled axe marks and knife marks on the city gate, and the remaining blood stains at the foot of the surging wall, he could hardly imagine that these women of the Yelan Kingdom, who were not tall, could actually withstand the attack of the Western barbarians for a month.
On horseback, he looked around at the exotic customs unique to women in the Western Regions on both sides, although when he came, he heard that the women here were in charge, but standing on the world of men, Lu Bu felt a little pitiful when he looked at them.
After all, letting a woman go to the battlefield and face a strong enemy can't help but think of her daughter Lu Lingqi.
'In the future, let Lingqi go to the battlefield a little less! ’
And on the side of Yelan Kingdom, the women of all sizes on the street looked at the generals of the Xia Kingdom riding red horses and wearing armor, walking through the streets majestically, not as reserved and shy as the women in the Xia Kingdom, staring at Lu Bu with hot eyes.
Most of their women basically did not leave the overnight Lan country, and for the men in the outside world, they only stayed on the two countries of Jukan and Ugo, and suddenly saw the men of the Xia country, who were still so tall and mighty, and their hearts couldn't help but beat suddenly.
The bold one whistled directly at Lu Bu, and he had the illusion of being a disciple molesting a good family.
"Dong Zhuo and Li Dao are afraid that they will not want to return here!"
A female general of Yelan Kingdom, who led the way in front, also looked back at this Xia country general frequently, obviously the other party grew up in her aesthetics everywhere.
After arriving at the palace, she even quietly told Lu Bu the location of her mansion, hoping that after Lu Bu finished talking with the queen later, he could find her in the mansion at night.
even said infatuated that the position of the main wife in the family would be reserved for Lu Bu in the future......
Lu Bu: "......"
A few of the soldiers who followed the main general, gritted their teeth and held back their laughter, they had never seen a brave and invincible general galloping on the battlefield, and he wanted to be married by a woman.
"If you want to laugh, you can think about it!"
Lu Bu turned over and dismounted with a calm face, and strode towards the not majestic city gate in front of him.
As the imperial palace of the Yelan Kingdom in the Western Regions, although it is one of the old powers in the Western Regions, the scale of the imperial palace in the imperial city does not show the luxury it should have.
The surrounding palace walls are also simply carved from rock, and there is no paint or paint water.
It looks rough and simple, but from the exterior of the building, it has another sense.
When I arrived at the palace of Queen Itas, it seemed a little more powerful, but it was much more humble than the palace that Lu Bu had seen.
Not to mention the original world, just this world, even the palace of Yue is stronger than it, not to mention the Wei Palace in Luyang in the Central Plains and the Wu Palace in Shengkang.
Along the way, the surrounding maids are also women, except for the palace maids, there are no eunuchs, and they are probably not needed.
Thinking like this, he looked at the other side, Bai Nani had been waiting outside the main hall for a long time, and the latter was also dressed in military uniform, and stepped forward to bow his hand to Lu Bu with the etiquette of Xia Guo, and then invited Lu Bu into the hall.
At this time, Lu Bu also looked at these women as men.
He took off his cloak and handed it to a palace maid at the entrance of the palace, wearing only a chain of armor, pressing the ring head knife at his waist, walking through the middle of the hall, looking at the end of the red carpet with burning eyes, a woman wearing a thin dress and a crown sat on a royal chair made of gold.
"I've seen the Queen of Yelan Kingdom!" Lu Bu stopped and stood still, raised his hand slightly and arched forward, and Yu Guang had already observed the furnishings and walking figures in the hall.
"This general of the Xia Kingdom, don't be polite." Itas didn't know Huaxia, and every word she said was translated and relayed by Bai Nani next to her.
Subsequently, someone brought a chair and placed it on the side below the imperial staircase to show respect for Lu Bu.
"Let's get down to business." Lu Bu glanced at the chair placed in front of him on the right side, there was no expression on his face, he just wanted to finish talking about business and leave as soon as possible, the atmosphere here made him extremely uncomfortable.
"In the early hours of this morning, the Western barbarians sent a letter, asking a certain family to pass it on to my Majesty, intending to sue for peace!"
When Bai Nani heard this, her face changed, and after Itas looked at her suspiciously, she hesitated to convey Lu Bu's words as they were.
Sure enough, Itas's face was also a little unsightly, she pinched the gauze skirt and looked straight at Lu Bu.
"And what did the general do?"
Lu Bu laughed: "Of course, hand it over to my Great Xia Emperor!" It's the rule! But ......"
His words later reassured Bainani and Itas.
"The matter of peace negotiation is not for the Western barbarians to say."
After Lu Bu said this, he didn't look at the expressions of the two women on the royal steps, turned around and walked away, took the cloak handed by the palace maid, and when he tied his back, his voice walked out of the hall with his figure, and the heroic words came.
"Ugo Li and Jukan will soon perish, Queen of Yelan Kingdom, you have to prepare for your life, don't wait until my summer comes, you are still hesitating!"
The figure disappeared from the temple.
"When the time comes, you will kill yourself!"
……
The light of day went to the southeast, thousands of miles away, and the mighty army of horses and infantry approached Changkang and Tiele from the east.
The big banner with the word "summer" written on it, and the flag painted with a white dragon pattern on a black background are waving in the wind, hunting and whistling.
Su Chen stood on the chariot, and the scenery of the Western Regions had come into view.
At the end of October, arriving east of Tiele, night was falling, and the messenger from the western barbarians carried a letter and two sneaky people caught by the scouts of the Xia Kingdom.
Both sides entered the camp almost simultaneously.
Those two were Li Chaofu and Zaha, not that they were arrested by the scouts, but they took the initiative to step forward, he wanted to meet the Emperor of Xia and inform the other party of the news about the national teacher Zhang Jiao.
Avenge Zaha's family by the way!
