Chapter 2, Section 8, The Heart of Ice 132

It seems that the camp has returned to calm, but secretly there are messengers coming and going, and Dadu, the envoy of the king of Zhengnan, and the flying spies sent to the imperial capital, are stubble after stubble; the big tent is lit up all night long, and the danger in the territory of Dajin is quite serious.

Ren Tianqi was restless, and hurriedly summoned the generals to report the current situation of all parties.

From then on, General Ren Songyi took 3,000 old troops to return to Renjiabao in Guangling to strengthen the prevention in the wall;

Ordered General Yuan Ren to lead 2,000 infantry troops, 2,000 fast horse troops to stay in the Huai River camp, and the three camps were combined into one to guard the pontoon bridge passage on the Huai River.

Wen Tingyu, the lieutenant general, immediately prepared emergency food and grass to prepare horses, and prepared dry food to be easily carried and distributed to individuals;

The former general Gong Ming went to Pengcheng Longkemu to give an order: the five thousand spare military horses and civilian fire oil should be sent to the Huaihe camp within three days;

It was reorganized into an army, and the army that planned to go north was:

3,000 Golden Ironclad Army;

4,000 Mongol soldiers;

Three Thousand Tiger Guards;

2,000 heavy archers, 1,000 light archers, 1,000 gunners;

2,000 heavily armoured troops,

Two thousand fast horse troops, a total of eighteen thousand, one horse army, plus six thousand spare horses.

On this day, it was drizzling, and the camp was silent, and the sergeants sat in their tents in silence.

The tranquility before the Great War is even more oppressive, tense, and frightening. In the camp, there was a lot of wine and meat for several days, and the sergeants were very heavy.

Ren Tianqi was in the big tent to persuade Dongfang Bai to go back or go to Suzhou He Zhixia to stay for a while before the big war. The Oriental girl just didn't agree. Aunt Hui was also anxious on the side.

The three were silent.

After a moment, Ren Tianqi gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Little sister, it's not that the foolish brother doesn't understand your sincerity, and the foolish brother Ping Suri also misses the little sister at night." But now, before the war, less than 20,000 of me, who went north to King Qin, lived or died, and no one could predict how many of them would come back alive. The little sister is docile and virtuous, versatile, why bother to risk such a wind!. What's more, the foolish brother is already a person with family children, it is already inconvenient, and the heart is also at ease with the little sister, if I cheat the little sister for a lifetime, how can the foolish brother be safe?"

Dongfang Bai was silent, tilting his head and cocking his mouth.

Aunt Hui also sighed again and again, and persuaded: "I said Miss, it is not unreasonable for my uncle to be sincere and hardworking, Miss must also know it, so I will listen to my aunt, I will go back first or go to Miss He to live for a while, and then I will decide when my uncle comes back, okay?"

Although Dongfang Bai is a weak woman, she is also a person who dares to act, as soon as she heard this, she turned around and said hurriedly: "Aunt Hui, you can go back." I just want to accompany the prime minister to the north, watch him, guard him, and then I will grit my teeth and go back, this is not good, I can't sleep, and my heart is not steady! I am already like this, and I don't care about the name!"

Aunt Hui has been protecting her before and after Dongfang Bai since she was born, and watching her grow up, she knows the stubbornness and stubbornness of the young lady, bows her head for a long time, and gets up to give a deep salute to Ren Tianqi.

Ren Tianqi was startled when he saw it, hurriedly got up and flashed, and stretched out his hand to hug each other.

Aunt Hui said: "I said uncle, the old body has something to ask for, and I hope you don't shirk it." ”

Ren Tianqi said repeatedly: "Aunt Hui, please talk about it, it's okay, just agree." ”

Aunt Hui said: "Miss and I have been here for a few days, my uncle is going to lead the troops to the north, and it is inconvenient for the two of you to live separately, since you two cherish each other, the old body will be the master of my old lady, so that the two of you will get married immediately, how about it?"

The East girl was stunned for a moment, and then when she heard the meaning of the words, she blushed and was ashamed, and lowered her head to glance at Ren Tianqi from the corner of her eye.

Ren Tianqi was stunned when he heard this, his heart was seven up and down, he glanced at Dongfang Bai, and liked it very much, but he thought of the county lord Dongxue He and his two daughters, and thought of the arduous rescue of King Qin in the north, and his heart couldn't bear it, so he didn't say anything for a while, and looked at Dongfang Bai in a daze.

Seeing that Ren Tianqi was silent, Aunt Hui sighed and returned to her seat.

Dongfang Bai hurriedly said: "Xianggong, you will be like a little sister and sister, when you come back from the north, the little sister will voluntarily go to Suzhou to accompany Sister He, and she will never step into Renjiabao and Juxianzhuang!"

Ren Tianqi saw that Dongfang Baiyan was sincere, her apricot eyes were full of tears, she shook her head, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, it won't be like this, my little sister is as kind to me as a mountain, and it is unforgettable." Then, then ask the second brother Wen Tingyu and Aunt Hui to be the masters. ”

Dongfang Bai nodded.

So the two became married overnight in the camp.

The next time, the two newcomers had not yet gotten up, and Gong Ming had already said in a loud voice outside the tent: "Master, get up quickly, the royal order of Pegasus has arrived!"

Ren Tianqi hurriedly got out of bed and dressed and came to the front tent, and saw that Gong Ming was accompanied by a messenger who was covered in mud and water and was exhausted.

Ren Tianqi hurriedly took the sealed letter with fire paint, and after carefully checking that the seal was not damaged, he opened the sealing mud and took a list of the letters, which was to the effect:

When the imperial uncle Wanyan Fubi's family took advantage of the time when they led the troops to Jiaodong to quell the rebellion, they returned halfway to lead the troops to rebel, and were approaching the imperial capital from the Cangzhou area of Dezhou. There were about 150,000 rebels in the north and south.

The Holy Lord appointed Tianqi as the general of the expedition to the north, Ke said to lead the troops to Beijing, and as a general, he controlled and commanded all the border garrisons along the way, and had the power of life and death to the local officials, without reporting to the imperial court, and all follow-up grain, grass, horses, soldiers, and ordnance replenishment had their own full dispatch and supply of the king of the south;

The Holy Father ordered that he must go to Beijing to relieve the siege within ten days.

The Huaihe estuary camp is more than 2,000 miles away from the emperor's capital, and there are many dangerous passes in the middle, the time is urgent, the situation is critical, the messenger has been gone for two days, and there are only seven days left. Ren Tianqi immediately ordered all the military horses to go north immediately.

Suddenly, the drums and trumpets in the camp sounded in unison, and the shouts were loud, and a group of soldiers rushed out of the tent and lined up in the barracks to stand by. The drums sounded three links, and the northbound army had assembled in front of the big camp, the flags fluttered in front of the big camp, the horses neighed constantly, the swords and guns were bright, the black pressure was overwhelming, and the murderous spirit was soaring.

Ren Tianqi returned to the tent with his armor on his head, carried a spotted bamboo sword at his waist, and carried a Fang Tian halberd in his hand, and came to the front of the army on his horse, accompanied by all the generals.

Ren Tiantian came to the front of the formation, galloped back and forth, rode his mount, waved the halberd in his hand, and said loudly: "Generals, brothers of Xuzhou soldiers, soldiers of Jinguo, my opportunity to conquer the world of Xuzhou soldiers has come." Now the Holy Lord of the Jin Kingdom is in trouble at the moment, I will go to the rescue with righteousness, and the Holy Lord has named me the general of the Great Jin State to conquer the North North, control all the military horses along the way, and have the right to cut first and then play. After the matter was completed, the Holy Lord promised to give Huaiyin and Xuzhou to my Xuzhou soldiers. The time has come for my Xuzhou soldiers to become famous all over the world, and my Xuzhou soldiers are about to become the most elite town in the four seas. The General hereby hereby promulgates six articles:

First, those who have meritorious service will be promoted to the third level of official status, and the fertile land will be 100 hectares;

Second, all those who can return here are promoted to the first level, and the fertile land is 20 acres;

Third, all seizures on the way to this place belong to the individual, and wherever he goes, he is not controlled.

Fourth, those who retreat from the battle will be killed;

5. Whoever refuses to obey the order will be killed

Sixth, whoever has a different heart will be killed. ”

When the sergeants heard this, they shouted the general's divine martial arts, which shocked the earth.

Ren Tianqi whistled, reached out and took out the mask from his bosom and put it on.

The soldiers were stunned, and the white eagle stood up immediately, raised his sword and shield, and shouted loudly: "Black Water Ghost, Black Water Ghost!"

Only then did the generals wake up to the fact that the black water ghost who intimidated the [***] horses in the world was actually their own commander, which greatly enhanced the confidence of the sergeants. The soldiers were like crazy, raising swords and guns, beating drums, waving flags and shouting long live the general and long live the ghost of the black water.

Dongfang Baiye was also surprised by the armor he was alongside, and he didn't expect his husband to be so brave.

Ren Tianqi heard the sound of drums, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to abandon the drums and the battalion, abandon the unnecessary naan, and all of them were lightly armed and wanted to rush north at full speed.

With a wave of Ren Tianqi's halberd, the army opened, rolling up like a raging storm, raising smoke and dust in the sky. In the past, it was said that the ghost thirteen horses, missing Lu Qian and Ren Mingquan, but made up for Tianbao, Ma Ben Qingtian Muzuo Dongfang Bai four people, a group of fifteen people in front of the army to open the way.
