Chapter Twenty-Five: In the Mongolian Camp

In the early morning of the second day, the woman in white got up and pushed open the door, and Zong Zheng fell on the lap of the woman in white.

It turned out that Zongzheng leaned against the door all night, and fell asleep by leaning on it.

The woman in white had a gloomy face for a while, and then kicked Zong Zheng with her foot, right at the wound where she was beaten yesterday.

Zong Zheng convulsed in pain, quickly woke up, and was about to say that this woman, after thinking about it carefully, he held back again, and quickly stood up when he saw that the sky was already bright.

The woman in white didn't pay attention to Zongzheng, but went straight downstairs with her baggage, and Zongzheng silently followed behind.

After the woman in white put down a piece of snowflake silver on the counter, she simply walked out of the door, Zong Zheng chased after her, and wanted to ask where to go, but after walking less than ten steps, she was suddenly stopped by a group of Mongolian soldiers behind and said, "You two stop." ”

Zong Zheng heard the loud cry, and immediately stopped, but the woman in white continued to step forward, ignoring the group of Mongolian soldiers behind, and scolded Zong Zheng in her mouth: "Why are you stunned, go, they told you to stop, you stop! It's really useless!"

Zong Zheng was already resentful of the woman in white, so he replied casually: "I was originally Mei Yong." ”

The Mongolian soldiers behind saw the woman in white continue to walk forward, very angry, the Mongolian man led by him flew forward, only a somersault jumped in front of the woman in white, and a dozen people behind immediately arrived, drew a scimitar and surrounded the two.

The Mongolian man shouted, "Why do you two continue to go forward?"

"We want to go and go, how can we stop because of your words, what a joke. The woman in white replied coldly, but she had no fear, and her words were not polite at all.

"Bold, look at you wearing a veil, at first glance, it is the fine work of the Southern Song Dynasty. Enraged, the Mongolian man reached out and lifted his cloak.

I saw that the woman in white immediately clasped the Mongolian man's hand with a sword in her left hand, and instantly took out a golden token engraved with Mongolian characters with her right hand and held it up in front of the Mongolian man.

The Mongolian man's face suddenly changed after seeing it, and after letting go of his hand, he only stepped back and apologized: "No offense, please atone." ”

The woman in white scolded, "Don't get out of here yet." ”

After saying that, the Mongolian man led a group of people to leave quickly, which was very different from his previous arrogant attitude.

"Wait, go and get me two horses. Suddenly, the woman in white shouted again, and a sentence floated from behind her.

The Mongolian men and the others obediently came back to receive orders and left behind.

Zong Zheng saw that these Mongols were so afraid of the woman in front of him, and guessed in his heart: "This woman must be a powerful character on the Mongolian Tartar side." When I was a child, I knew that Mongolian Tatars would kill people when they saw them, but they were not easy to provoke, so I thought I should find a chance to slip away!"

After a while, the group of Mongolian soldiers brought two horses, the woman in white jumped lightly on the horse's back, Zongzheng had never ridden a horse, it was not easy to climb up, he tightly held the reins, the woman in white saw that Zongzheng had already got on the horse, so she galloped on the horse, Zongzheng's horse also galloped, Zongzheng's horse also galloped, Zongzheng staggered, held the rope tightly in his hand, and kept screaming in his mouth, looking very awkward. The two rode their horses all the way west.

In the evening, Zong Zheng was a little tired, he had never ridden a horse, he just held on to the reins tightly along the way, and after walking for a while and gradually getting used to it, he felt that his body was tired and tight, so he asked: "Girl, where are we going? It's getting dark, let's find an inn to rest!"

When the woman in white saw Zong Zheng's embarrassed appearance, she felt bad in her heart, and finally rectified Zong Zheng, and tortured him a lot. Although there was some stealing joy in his heart, he couldn't reveal it, so he said sharply,

"There are wars nearby, and there are no inns within a radius of ten miles. ”

"Then we have to stop and eat something!" Zongzheng was a little hungry and couldn't help but say, almost pleadingly.

"I will run for half an hour to arrive at our military camp, and when the time comes, you will naturally be fed. ”

After the woman in white finished speaking, she immediately sped up, and Zong Zheng sighed, and had to follow again.

Half an hour passed, and after walking a section of stone mountain road, a large area of fire was faintly revealed in front of me.

After a few more walks, Zong Zheng saw a grand scene, the Mongolian tent stretched endlessly, and there were soldiers and horses everywhere. Where did he grow up in the mountains see this battle, it was a large battalion of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!

Zong Zheng couldn't help but regret and said: "Oh, I'm so stupid, why did I follow her to the Mongolian Tatar barracks, there are so many people, it's hard to be afraid at this time." Zong Zheng lowered his head and followed behind the woman in white.

There were four soldiers guarding the entrance, all armed with swords, and they were extremely cautious when they saw them approaching.

Seeing the two of them, the leader hurriedly stopped and asked, "Who is it?"

The woman in white took out the token, and the man took a closer look at it, and immediately let the person in, without the slightest embarrassment.

When the two men entered the camp and stopped their horses, two guards stepped forward to take the horses, and when they had dismounted, the woman in white said to one of the guards, "Take this man down to eat and rest." Then he walked in the direction of the middle camp.

The camp in the middle was the tent of Möngke Khan, which was brightly lit, as if a figure was shaking, and a few words of Mongolian were floating from time to time.

In the big tent, Meng Ge was in the front, and there were military generals on both sides. A plan to attack Diaoyu Castle is being discussed.

Meng Ge's face was sad, and he said in a heavy tone: "Our army has captured many cities in a row, but we don't want tens of thousands of troops to fall into Diaoyu City, what are your best strategies to break the enemy?"

Pioneer Wang Dechen is nearly fifty years old, but still old and strong, outstanding, he is a civil and military general, in the early years he followed Ogedai Khan in Sichuan to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, is the military division of Ogedai Khan, this time again to attack Sichuan, he was naturally present.

Wang Dechen saw the current situation very thoroughly, and he analyzed,

"Diaoyu City guards the Jialing River, there are dangerous mountains as a barrier, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are a considerable number of defenders in the city, which is really difficult to break. After our army entered Shizishan in February, it attacked continuously for more than a month, suffering numerous casualties, and all of them were repulsed. ”

Meng Ge was a little impatient, and before Wang Dechen finished speaking, he interrupted: "Ben Khan doesn't want to hear this, Ben Khan just wants to hear the good plan to break the city." ”

Qianhu General Baritu said: "We previously thought that Yizi City and Zhenxi were the weakest points of Diaoyu City, so we concentrated all our efforts to attack these two places, and the enemy also knew this, so we would strengthen the defense of these two places, we might as well attack Yizi City and Zhenxi, Dongxin, Qisheng, Huguo and other city gates on all fronts, regardless of priority, so that the Song army was tired to deal with, as long as there was a breakthrough, we could quickly concentrate reserve forces to attack with all our strength." ”

Meng Ge responded: "Well, this plan is good, but since our army entered the winter, the supply of grain and grass has been insufficient, and a rotation system has been implemented in the deployment of troops, and the attacking troops are divided into several batches to attack in turn to save military rations.

Hearing this, Wang Dechen felt that he could give it a try, and then said: "Great Khan, we can step up the supply of grain and grass on the one hand, and try to attack for a few days on the other hand. ”

Möngke pondered for a moment.

"Okay, you guys do a good job of deploying your troops, and from tomorrow onwards, attack on all fronts. ”

The generals obeyed in unison: "Yes, Great Khan." ”

The generals then left the horde.

As soon as the generals left, a chamberlain came in.

"Great Khan, there is a woman who has come to see me with the Great Khan's order. ”

"Call the man in. Möngke commanded.

The woman in white walked in, took off her cloak, revealing a white face, her eyes were black and round, and she saw the Great Khan with Mongolian etiquette.

"Zhu Yunshi, why are you dressed like this, and why are you here this time?" asked Meng Ge,

"The rhyme came from the border of the Southern Song Dynasty, so he dressed up to avoid the ears and eyes, and came here to be the national teacher Namaya has something important to play. Zhu Yunshi replied,

"What's the matter with him? Didn't he tell you not to come out without permission, and you must stay in the Juxian Pavilion to practice?" Meng Ge scolded harshly,

Zhu Yunshi hurriedly explained: "This matter is very important, and the national teacher is not worried about letting the messenger convey it, so he appointed me to come in person and ask the Great Khan to atone for his sins." ”

"Say! what's the matter?" Meng Ge was only focused on attacking Diaoyu City, and didn't seem to care about the news brought by Zhu Yunshi.

"A few days ago, the national teacher watched the celestial phenomena at night, and saw that the king star was dim, and the two partial stars on the side of the king star were bright, so he speculated that the Great Khan might be in danger in the near future. Knowing that the Great Khan was in a stalemate in Diaoyu City, the national teacher hoped that the Great Khan would return to Helin as soon as possible, just in case something really happened. Zhu Yunshi solemnly replied,

"I have never believed in astrology, only the faint monarch of the Southern Song Dynasty would believe in the group of astrological people in the Qin Heavenly Prison, now is the critical juncture of my achievements, Ben Khan will not give up easily. Tomorrow our army will coincide with a change in tactics, you stay for one more day, and when I see the siege effect tomorrow, I will let you bring some news to Asutai and Ali Buge. ”

Zhu Yunshi saw Meng Ge's stubborn appearance, so he no longer advised.

"Yes, Great Khan. Uh, in addition, "Zhu Yun's poetry wants to speak and stops."

"Anything else?" said Möngke, impatiently.

Zhu Yunshi took out a book from her sleeve.

"Great Khan, this is something that Nanluo Xing ordered me to transfer to the king, saying that it will help you to attack the city. ”

When Meng Ge heard that it was helpful for the siege, he immediately took the book from Zhu Yunshi's hand and instructed Zhu Yunshi,

"You've been running all the way, you're lucky, go down and rest!"

Zhu Yunshi put on her cloak and walked out of the tent.

After eating, Zongzheng was taken to a camp by a guard.

I stayed bored for half an hour, and then I saw Zhu Yunshi enter the tent.

When Zong Zheng saw this fierce god, he didn't want to ask more, but just sat on the mat without saying a word.

"Tomorrow will be the third day of your slave, and after tomorrow you will be free. "Zhu Yunshi seems to have suddenly become a little humane.

Zong Zheng was naturally surprised by such a reaction, so he stared at Zhu Yun and asked, "Will you let me go?"

"I mean what I say. Well, I'm tired. So saying, he took off his cloak and lay down on the bed in the big tent.

Zong Zheng looked over and saw that the woman had a pair of dark round eyes, two strands of delicate curly hair glowing with a yellowish light on both sides, and her skin was pale.

The first time Zong Zheng saw this woman, he felt that this feeling was completely different from the feeling of seeing Xian'er for the first time.

"Xian'er gives people a cool and refreshing feeling, and this girl is not of my own race at first glance, and at first glance she looks charming and charming. Zong Zheng secretly compared.

Just as Zong Zheng was pondering, Zhu Yunshi looked at Zong Zheng's motionless eyes and suddenly said, "Look at what? Believe it or not, I gouged out your eyes." ”

Zong Zheng immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, it's a lot of offense." ”

Zhu Yunshi was a little tired and didn't care anymore, but said: "There's a blanket over there, you take it out and put it on the ground, just sleep on the ground for one night!"

Zong Zheng was puzzled, and secretly thought to himself: "The day before, this woman was still dead and alive and didn't let people lift her veil, but today she took the initiative to take off her cloak in front of me, and yesterday she said that lonely men and widows should not be in the same room, but today let me sleep in the tent." It's weirdly tight. ”

Zhu Yunshi saw Zongzheng's doubts and said, "I know what you're thinking?"

Zong Zheng naturally didn't believe that he could read his own thoughts, so he asked, "Then tell me, what am I thinking?"

Zhu Yunshi said: "I am a foreign woman, and my concept is naturally different from yours. Lonely men and widows are not allowed to live in the same room, and there is no such rule in our country. I put on my cloak to complete the mission and avoid unnecessary troubles. Now that the task is complete, it is natural to take off the cloak. ”

Zong Zheng couldn't help but exclaim, "How do you know the doubts in my heart?"

Zhu Yunshi said: "Where do you have so many problems? I'm tired, let's rest early!" and closed his eyes.

Zong Zheng took the blanket from the ground and spread it on the ground, and then lay down on the blanket.

After running around for a day, after lying down, Zongzheng felt that his bones were about to fall apart, so he hurriedly closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Zhu Yunshi lay on the bed and thought to herself: "How can this man's demeanor and even appearance be so similar to what my mother said, that is, the age difference is more than 20 years. But how can it be so similar? No, this person's surname is Mei, and the person my mother said is surnamed Zong, and he is very wise. This man is dumbfounded, how can he compare with that man. Forget it, after a day of riding, I don't want to think about it, let's rest. ”
