Chapter 143: Touched and excited
"Check it out." Zhu Di raised his chin.
Li Qing shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, you are more important." ”
"They don't dare." Zhu Di was extremely confident, "Even if they really come at me, they can't hurt me." ”
Li Qing was silent.
It is true that as long as Tatar does not show off his brains, he will never attack Zhu Di, but ...... What if.
Li Qing didn't dare to bet on this kind of thing.
"You're getting bolder." Zhu Di scolded, but he was not really angry, and said with emotion: "You are also too old!" ”
"No, the emperor's daughter, how can he easily get into danger?" Li Qing's answer was very official.
Zhu Di sighed and lay down: "There are many grassland tribes, and the forces are complicated, and it is impossible to suppress them all;
Yesterday there was a big break in Warat, and today there are Tatars, and even if the Tatars are broken today, there will definitely be new forces rising tomorrow;
Just like this green grassland, the wildfire can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows! ”
Li Qing deeply agreed, although the total population on the grassland was less than one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty, but in this vast grassland, it was not easy to kill them all.
"One day, there will be a family inside and outside the gates." Li Qing was a little distracted, "At that time, Han and Mongolia will drink together at the same table, like brothers." ”
"Inside and outside the family, drink at the same table......" Zhu Di was also a little distracted, yearning, longing, and regret, "It's a pity... I can't see it after all! ”
After a moment of silence, Zhu Di sighed lightly: "One life is too short. ”
"Some people think it's too short, while others think it's too long." Li Qing said softly.
"Hehe......" Zhu Di smiled and sighed again.
After a while, when Zhu Di didn't speak again, Li Qing looked intently, only to find that he had fallen asleep.
Time is like a knife, and no matter how big a hero is, he will grow old.
Li Qing picked up the blanket and covered him, got up and walked out of the sedan chair.
~
The fighting was not fierce, and as soon as the battle began, there were already signs of its end.
The formation of the Ming army was closed, and the ironclad was solid.
The momentum of the Tatar attack was not strong, and it was only two quarters of an hour before and after the Tatar attack, and then it was gone.
Obviously, there is no intention of stumbling to the death.
Seeing this situation, Li Qing became more and more sure of Zhu Di's speculation.
- The Tatars are attracting the attention of the Ming army and buying time for the attack on Warat.
……
Early morning.
Zhu Di woke up, stepped out of the car and asked about the battle report: "What are the casualties of the enemy and me?" ”
Zhu Zhanji arched his hand, "Our army lost 362 people, wounded 590 people, killed 457 enemies, and captured nearly 500 people. ”
"Is there any interrogation?" Li Qing asked.
"It has been reviewed, but the authenticity of the information is not guaranteed." Zhu Zhanji said.
"Leave this alone for now." Zhu Di waved his hand, "Zhanji, don't you want to fight, this time grandpa will give you a chance." ”
Zhu Zhanji perked up and knelt down to listen to the holy saying: "Please show the emperor's grandfather." ”
"I will give you 20,000 elite soldiers, and immediately rush to support Warat." Zhu Di said seriously, "As the coach, don't let me down." ”
"Grandson's order." Zhu Zhanji's blood was boiling, and after several Northern Expeditions, it was the first time for him to take on such a big job, "Sun Er must do his best to give Tatar a head-on blow." ”
"Okay." Zhu Di was very pleased, "Li Qing." ”
"The minister is here." Li Qing was convinced: the commander of the real flowing water, the iron-clad overseer.
"You're the overseer."
“…… Obey the order. Li Qing reluctantly surrendered, "By the way, the emperor, what should you do here?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Di didn't care and said, "The Tatars have a clear goal, concentrate on fighting Warat, and they don't dare to come to me before they unify and become bigger." ”
After a pause, "It's better to come, I can just move my muscles and bones." ”
Li Qing was a little hesitant, but when he thought that there were still 30,000 elite soldiers here, as well as 100,000 late-stage supplies, he felt that he was thinking too much.
Zhu Di is old, but the sword is still sharp, and his combat quality does not retreat but advances, even if the Tatars really attack in a big way, they can't get cheap.
——
Eighty percent of the 20,000 soldiers came from the Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion, and there was only one request, which was to ensure that Wara was 'immortal'.
Now Warat has been completely put into the arms of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the tea and horse trade, the garrison is fully open to the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming army had a clear goal and marched quickly.
"Li Jianjun, you go to find out the situation first." Zhu Zhanji said softly, "It is far better to rush into support without communication than to notify Warat in advance and attack the Tatars from both sides." ”
You really don't take Qingbo's life seriously...... Li Qing nodded helplessly: "I'm okay with this, it's mainly you, the emperor asked me to be a prisoner, the main purpose is to ensure your safety......"
"Don't worry, I'm no longer the hairy boy I was back then." Zhu Zhanji said, "I have a great responsibility, even if I don't think about myself, I can't help but think about 20,000 soldiers, and I won't be reckless." ”
"Cheng," Li Qing didn't talk nonsense, "Then I'll go." ”
"Wait a minute." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "You just go alone?" ”
"Xia Guan is willing to go with Li Shangshu." Not far away, Yu Qian heard the conversation between the two and turned his horse's head forward.
Li Qing refused: "No, it's easy to make mistakes when there are too many people, and I can do it alone." ”
Yu Qian said: "There is a high probability that there is already a war there, Li Shangshu, it is too dangerous for you to go alone." ”
"That's fine." Li Qing said with a smile, "Although Warat is weak, it will not fall so quickly, I just need to be careful." ”
Yu Qian wanted to say something more, but Zhu Zhanji agreed first, asked people to take the prepared Yuanren clothes, and advised: "Remember, safety first." ”
"Hmm." Li Qing took it, "Let's go." ”
"Why don't you put it on first?"
"Don't you take off your mask?"
Zhu Zhanji and Yu Qian said successively.
"I'm thin-skinned." Li Qing said perfunctory words and drove away.
Looking at Li Qing gradually moving away, Yu Qian's brows furrowed deeply, "Imperial grandson, Li Shangshu he... They are all over sixty years old, and it is not appropriate to carry out such a dangerous mission. ”
Zhu Zhanji glanced at him and snorted, "You don't know anything about his skills. ”
"......" Yu Qian had some complaints in his heart, but it was not easy to attack.
Putting aside the identity of the emperor's grandson, just being the commander in the army does not allow him to be questioned by Yu Qian.
Zhu Zhanji had a good impression of Qian, and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, he can't have an accident, people like him can't suffer anywhere, he is shrewd." ”
……
Camp Warat.
The beard that took off his sorrow was a lot thinner, and the strong suppression of the Tatars made him breathless.
In the handsome camp, many of his subordinates, as well as Ah Lost Timur, were all full of sadness, worried about the current situation and the future.
"I can't beat it, I really can't beat it," a man with a shirtless body and showing his muscles got up, "The pass ahead can't hold out for long, and now we have no way to retreat, and we have to call for help." ”
"Asking for help?" Dehuan is weak, "Who do you ask?" ”
Ah Lost Timur continued: "Da Ming! ”
"They wish there was no more fighting on the grassland, where would they be willing to send troops to help?" Tuhuan saw it clearly, "Increasing trade is already their limit, and it's not like I haven't asked for help, but the Ming court doesn't send troops at all." ”
Speaking of this, there was a sadness in his eyes: "Take a step back and say, even if Ming Ting agrees, it's too late in time?" ”
The crowd was silent.
Indeed, there is no rush in time.
"So what now?" Ah Lost Timur asked: "If we retreat, the cattle, sheep, women and children will have to be handed over, and if we lose these, will our people still follow us?"
I'm afraid I can't immediately throw myself into the arms of the Tatars! ”
Ah Lost Timur said solemnly: "You can't retreat, if you retreat, there will be nothing." ”
He looked at Tuhuan sincerely, "Fight hard, the Han people have an old saying: put it to death and then live, this is the case for us at present, there is still a glimmer of life in fighting, and if you don't fight, you will definitely lose." ”
The Uliangha had already existed in name only, and if Asha Timur wanted to restore his former glory, he could only hope that Warat would inflict a heavy blow on the Tatars.
Anyway, he has nothing to lose, it is better to go into the water with Avara, he will not lose if Varat loses, if Varat can inflict heavy damage on the Tatars, then he will earn blood.
"Let's fight!" Ashi Timur bewitched, "Warriors of Warat, you are all heroes of the steppe, and you are all ......."
Balabala......
Tuhuan knew the purpose of this guy, so he naturally wouldn't be bewitched by it, but he had no other way.
Even if he surrenders, he will not be able to fall well, and the Tatars can let go of his subordinates, but they will not let him go.
"The Tatars deceived people too much, and the order ......"
"Report ——!"
A pro-soldier outside the tent came in: "Report: A Han man who claims to be the secretary of the Ming court's military department asks to see him." ”
"The Ming Court's military department is still in the book?" Tuhuan was stunned, "What does it look like?" ”
"He's wearing a mask and can't see his face."
"Mask-wearing......" Tuhuan remembered, and suddenly his spirits were lifted, "Invite him in, no, you will come with me to greet him." ”
~
Li Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to say any more: I drop, the book of the Ming Army, do you understand?
When he came, he thought of everything, but he forgot about the language barrier.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet someone who could understand Chinese, otherwise he could only use force to break into the Warat camp.
It's not a bad thing to master one more language...... Li Qing secretly decided that after going back, he would learn the language of the grassland.
Not to mention proficient, at least to be able to communicate.
Just thinking about it, he suddenly saw a crowd of people, and a group of people escorted a few people over, Li Qing stopped thinking and looked ahead.
After a while, the guards spread out a road, and the leaders of the various departments of Warat, led by Tuhuan, came in a few steps.
"It's really Li Shangshu." Tuohuan was surprised and delighted, and arched his hand and said, "Xiao Wang is polite." ”
"Shunning Wang Shaoli." Li Qing's voice was gentle and straight to the point: "My Ming Xiongshi is here, and the emperor is personally recruiting." ”
When he heard this, it was as if he had come from hell to heaven all at once, and his soul was sublimated, and he was so happy that he almost cried with joy.
"Li Shangshu, please." Dehuan suppressed excitement and joy, politely with respect.
Li Qing was also not polite, and walked ahead without giving up.
and entered the tent.
Tuhuan and the generals of the various ministries bowed down and bowed: "Ministers Ross Tuohuan (ministers), respectfully ask for St. Ann." ”
"St. Bow." Li Qing's voice was clear and full of majesty.
Then, his tone changed, and he said gently: "Everyone, please get up, the emperor is very worried when he hears that Warat has been hit hard by the Tatars, and he has sent elite soldiers here to help, we are not too late, right?" ”
"It's not too late, it's not too late," Tuohuan shook his head, moved and excited, "The minister bowed to thank His Majesty the Ming Emperor for his heavenly grace." ”
At the time of life and death, the kindness of helping hands is undoubtedly the greatest, and Tuhuan was really moved this time.
He didn't expect the Ming court to really come to help him, and besides, it was the emperor himself!
