Hongyu's thoughts were all seen by Cui Jie on the side, Cui Jie didn't say anything, revealing a look like he saw through the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
General Jerod ordered the village to be burned and all the supplies available to the village were collected; Some of the villagers were killed by the soldiers during the sweep, and the rest of the able-bodied and able to work were taken away for labor, and some of the wounded and the elderly were beheaded. The old couple who imprisoned Hongyu were beheaded in a cage and died in extreme humiliation.
The army marched towards the kingdom of Jin; The vast army was pitch black, the soldiers walked loudly, and the clash of armor was deafening.
The general gave Red Rain a horse; Hongyu can actually ride a horse, but she can't ride in front of the general, the purpose is to let the general teach her, so that she can have more contact with the general.
During the daytime march, the general always rode at the head of the procession, and at night he set up camp and set up tent, and the general came to spend the night with the red rain.
It's another night.
Hongyu and the general have been getting along for some time, and the general is very fond of Hongyu, which makes Hongyu's temperament change a little, Hongyu is not as restrained as before, and even takes the initiative to lie in bed to encourage the general; The general also loves the temperament of Red Rain very much, and the two of them are like glue every night.
"General, what are your plans after the battle?" Hongyu asked.
"Of course, it's a reward for returning home! As long as this battle is over, you can return to China and be crowned a general. The general said proudly.
"The general is already a general of the whole country, what else do you want to be sealed?" Hongyu said.
"Hahahaha; The general is further up the emperor. The general said.
"Emperor? The general is going to ascend the throne? Hongyu asked.
"It's too early to say that, it's up to the timing." The general sighed.
"Can the general talk to the slave family?" Hongyu wrapped his arms around the general's shoulders and said coquettishly.
"Okay, then I'll talk to you; Shortly before I sent my troops, the first king died, and now the Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao is in power, and there is no monarch yet. The general said.
"Then why isn't there a king?" Hongyu said coquettishly.
"Because the first king had no heirs, the only illegitimate daughter was exiled in the Central Plains, and now a secret force has been sent to find it." The general said.
"In that case, doesn't the general have a competitor?" Hongyu kissed the general on the cheek and said.
"It's not that simple! On the surface, it is to send secret troops to find the princess to take the throne, but can Empress Dowager Xiao give up power so easily? The general said.
"What is the real purpose of the secret force?" Hongyu asked.
"Empress Dowager Xiao made a contract with the Goryeo Kingdom, the two countries are friendly, with the Goryeo Kingdom as an ally, plus the general this time to levy and pay the Jin State, the three countries will be able to level the Central Plains and unify the world; Empress Dowager Xiao's other purpose was to send the princess to Goryeo and her relatives. ”
"Hongyu still doesn't understand, so how should the general ascend the throne when Empress Dowager Xiao is in power?" Hongyu asked.
"This is the purpose of this general's coming out this time, if I can collect the Jin country as an ally, my majesty will definitely be able to win the hearts of the people, and then seize some of the Queen Mother's handles and announce them to the world, so that the Queen Mother can be pulled off the horse." The general said.
"Has the general figured out a countermeasure?" Hongyu asked.
"Of course, I'll talk about the princess; As long as it is announced to the outside world, it is the queen mother who does not let the princess return to the court, then the queen mother will lose the support of the people, and the only Yelu family with royal blood will definitely pick out the person who will inherit the throne, and I am that person. The general said.
"Then there are no other people in the Yelu clan who have the right to inherit and the general to fight?" Hongyu asked.
"Of course there is, that's my twin brother, Yelu Hongliang." The general said.
"Twins? Won't the general's brother fight with the general? Hongyu asked.
"No, my brother has always been at peace with me, and he listens to me, and he will not fight with me." The general said confidently.
"General, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not." Hongyu said with a confused look in his eyes.
"There's something wrong with the girl, but it's okay to say it." The general said.
"After the general returned to China, did he think about marrying Hongyu as his wife?" Hongyu asked.
"Of course, I said that I would be responsible for you, and I will never break my word." The general said with certainty.
"The general can marry Hongyu, I am truly grateful to Dade, Hongyu is willing to be from a low background, and I am willing to serve the general forever as the general's concubine." Hongyu snuggled up to the general's chest and said.
The general saw that the red rain was so enchanting, and it was another storm of clouds and rain when he overthrew the red rain.
The next day, the procession walked through the valley;
The valley is very deep, the peaks on both sides are five or six hundred meters, walking in this valley always feels like being ambushed, and Hongyu is a little scared.
When Hongyu was marching, he sat in the carriage of the Chinese army, and Cui Jie was a coachman and a subordinate for Hongyu.
"Xiaojie......" Hongyu shouted.
"What instructions does the girl have?" Cui Jie replied with a head.
"I always feel that this place is gloomy, will I be ambushed when I walk here?" Hongyu said.
"Rest assured, the marching route was drawn by the general, and there will be no ambush here." Cui Jie said.
"I'm just a little flustered." Hongyu said.
"Rest assured, girl, she will be out of the valley this afternoon." Cui Jie said.
"Come in and talk to me." Hongyu motioned for Cui Jie to get into the carriage.
As soon as Cui Jie got into the carriage, a big stone fell on the place where Cui Jie was originally sitting. With a thud, the carriage was smashed away from the horses, and then another stone hit the carriage, but fortunately it was made of iron, but it smashed into a shallow pit.
"Girl, we seem to have been ambushed." Cui Jie said.
Before the red rain could speak, the sound of stones rolling down from the canyon was heard, followed by the frantic sound of horses and the wailing of people outside; Rolling rocks attacked the army, all the soldiers fled in panic, the cavalry rode their horses and whipped, some rode horses and stepped over the infantry army, and some were pulled off their horses by the infantry to serve as human shields, and the whole Liao army was not united when it was in danger.
General Yelu, who was walking in front of the team, saw the army being attacked, and his first thought was to rescue Hongyu; The general rode his horse to the middle of the procession in search of the carriage.
Hongyu and Cui Jie were trapped in the carriage, Cui Jie gently opened a gap in the window, and saw a chaotic array of soldiers outside;
"Don't go out now, stay here now." Cui Jie said.
Hongyu was a little scared, hugged Cui Jie tightly, and stuck in Cui Jie's arms; Cui Jie also hugged Hongyu tightly.
The general rode his horse and galloped, brandishing his spear to knock down stones that had been thrown at him, while searching for the carriage; The general was very brave, and at this time the general only had a carriage in his eyes, and he did not care about the safety of the soldiers, and the horses knocked down the soldiers many times, and even the horses' hooves trampled past the soldiers' bodies; The ranks of the entire army of 100,000 were in disarray.
At this moment, with the earth-shattering sound of drums, the army of the Jin State came out and attacked the Liao army from both sides of the mountain road at the same time; Before the general could find the carriage, he saw an enemy rushing towards him, so he hurriedly reined in his horse and put his troops in order.
The Jin soldiers' rushing and killing sound was loud, and the valleys on both sides bounced echoes, and the soldiers could not hear the general's shouts at all.
The Liao army that was smashed by the rolling stones was crushed, and almost all the Liao soldiers were slaughtered by the Jin soldiers, and the Jin soldiers and iron cavalry slaughtered the Liao soldiers like the dealers.
General Yelu was wearing a silver-gray armor that was very conspicuous, making Jin Bing look like a general; When all the golden soldiers saw the general, they flocked to the general, wanting to cut off the general's head and receive the reward; A large group of golden soldiers poured towards General Yelu, and the general was outnumbered and thrown off his horse, and the golden soldiers swarmed and tore the general, and with a cry of grief and indignation, the general was beheaded.
The Jin soldiers cut off the head of General Yelu and hung it on their spears to demonstrate and shout, and the Liao soldiers saw that General Yelu's head was cut off, and everyone scattered and fled, most of them were killed by the Jin soldiers, a small part fled to the mountains, and some broke through the Jin soldiers and did not know where to flee.
The carriage in which Hongyu was sitting was smashed into a deformity by rolling stones, but Hongyu and Cui Jie were safe and sound in the carriage, and the two hugged each other and resigned themselves to fate.
Today, the general ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, and the carriage that was simply smashed into a deformed shape was discarded in the valley as rags, and Hongyu and Cui Jie were not discovered by the Jin soldiers.
When Jin Bing retreated and couldn't hear any sound outside, Cui Jie opened the car window and saw corpses everywhere outside.
"We've got to find a way to get out." Cui Jie said.
Hongyu, who was frightened and overwhelmed, said, "How to do it? ”
"Let's just break the piece of iron from the door." Cui Jie said.
"How can you break such a thick iron sheet?" Hongyu said with some sobs.
"Then we have to break it open! Otherwise, we're going to be trapped here. Cui Jie said as he slammed hard.
Cui Jie couldn't break the iron piece at all, and he had to give up after wasting half a day's strength.
"Are we going to be trapped here?" Hongyu cried.
"No, there will be a way." Cui Jie comforted Hongyu.
"I don't know what happened to the general, the general will come to save us, right?" Hongyu said.
"The general will either be captured or return to heaven, otherwise the golden soldiers will not disperse." Cui Jie said.
"Then maybe you escaped? The general will come back to save us, right? Red Rain cried.
The two were trapped in the carriage like this; After the night, they still could not open the door of the carriage, and they did not know that the carriage was crushed by heavy stones.
In this way, Hongyu and Cui Jie stayed in the carriage for three days. Without food and water, the two had collapsed.
"Are we going to die here like this?" Hongyu said weakly.
"Leave it to fate!" Cui Jie didn't have the strength to say.
Hongyu knew in her heart that something must have happened to General Yelu, and her dream of wealth and wealth was shattered again; Let all the unwillingness be entangled in my heart, but I really have no way at all.
"Girl, we may die here, can you serve me once before we die." Cui Jie said.
"What do you say? I'm a general's woman, how dare you hit my idea? Hongyu said angrily.
"What a general's woman, now the general won't come to you, you're just a down-and-out chicken, do you think I can't see your thoughts? Don't you just want to enjoy the glory and wealth through the general? The slave who has been imprisoned by the savages, let you serve me once is to look up to you, I don't think you are dirty, and you dare to refuse me? Kindness? Cui Jie suddenly showed his fierce side.
At this time, Hongyu was frightened by Cui Jie's personality change, could she escape this catastrophe?
