The slanting sun sprinkled on the river surface to the south, 10,000 points of golden light sparkled with the waves, and the willows on the bank were misty, swaying with the wind, like a bride in the sunset.

After a heavy rain, the river becomes even more flat, and the water is bright and the shore is flat.

The red lady in a red dress sat cross-legged on the bluestone by the river, at first glance it looked like a touch of sunset by the river, and the wind could not blow.

Such a sitting posture will not appear on Li Xiangjun and them, but it feels very natural when it appears on the red lady.

Qin Mu changed into plain white civilian clothes, and his big sleeves were blown sideways by the river breeze, adding a bit of an elegant feeling.

Half of the red sunset had sunk into the mountains in the west, and the red lady didn't look at him, and asked casually, "Are you okay with the injury on your hand?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a flesh injury."

The red lady took out a finger-sized iron cylinder from her bosom, handed it to him and said: "This thing can fire three poisonous needles at a time, although it is not as harmful as your rainstorm pear flower needle, but it can be fired three times in a row, it can kill people within five steps, and it can be reloaded after use." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Qin Mu took it curtly, there was still the body temperature of the red lady on the small tube, and he couldn't help but subconsciously look into her arms, but when he saw Shuangfeng's angry confrontation, his clothes were about to tear

The red lady's face was slightly red, and she said coquettishly: "Little thief, you are looking for death!" ”

"What is this thing called, and how do I use it?" Qin Mu pretended that nothing had happened, and began to study the small tube in his hand.

"Don't move." The red lady hurriedly came up and taught him hand in hand, "This small mechanism here, first move it to the left when launching, then push it forward into place, and then press it down, press it and launch it once, remember." It can only be fired three times in a row, and it will only work within five steps. ”

"You did it yourself? What is it called? ”

"You don't care what you like to call it."

Qin Mu choked for a moment, he didn't care about it, but this was a good thing.

"Anything else?"

"It's gone."

Qin Mu put away the things with some pity, Qiao'er's girl always likes to run out, such a haode thing, if only she could get one more for Qiao'er to defend herself.

"What are you going to do next?" The red lady sat back on the bluestone slab, looked at the red glow and asked.

"The soldiers are tired and need some rest. Reinforcements should be sent from the direction of Chizhou to block the Tartars from the Jiangxi portal, and the north should also recapture Wuyang Pass as soon as possible, so as to prevent the Tartars from driving straight into again. ”

"I think you're busy annexing the Dashun Army."

Qin Mu did not deny it: "The morale of the rest of these Dashun troops is low, and they are afraid of the enemy, if they are not immediately reorganized, I will be killed by them sooner or later, if it is not for Liu Fangliang's hesitation this time, Azig will definitely not be able to escape." I worked hard and used my own bait, but Zuihou fell short. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. It is imperative to rectify these people. ”

"I don't care about this, I just want to know when you will go back to Henan, and I will personally kill that beast of Luckdhuun." Thinking of the 20,000 old and weak women and children who were slaughtered under Wuyang Pass, the red lady was full of hatred.

"Hatred can be the motivation to defeat the enemy. It can also make people do a lot of stupid things. As a general, if he is swayed by hatred, sooner or later he will kill the three armies. ”

"How stupid am I? Duoduo is attacking Gangnam. The Tartars did not have many troops in Henan, and it was a good time to counterattack Henan. ”

"You only saw the enemy's situation, but you didn't see your own situation clearly, Azig has been beaten into a water dog by me, Liu Fangliang is still afraid of the enemy, can they win by ordering them to go north to Henan?"

"Where's your centaur?"

"My men and horses are not iron-clad, and they also need to rest, not to mention that the eastern front is in danger, and the eastern front must be stabilized first, otherwise I will pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons, how can this work? Besides, have you ever thought about it, the Tartars are mostly cavalry, and the flat terrain of Henan is extremely beneficial to them, and the Tartars must first do a thorough jihua to compete for Henan. ”

The red lady said with some disbelief: "Isn't it on the plains this time, aren't you just as capable of defeating Azig?" ”

"These are completely two concepts, although the east bank of the water is a plain, but the radius is not more than 100 miles, and our army is still fighting on the inside line, the movement of troops, the transportation of grain and grass, and the supply of weapons, there are no problems. Once the north out of Henan, it is a completely different situation, the battle line is stretched thousands of miles, our army is mainly infantry, in the face of the highly mobile Tatar cavalry, how to ensure the safety of the logistics supply line is a big problem, if there is no careful combat Jihua, rashly march into the flat terrain of Henan, the victory or defeat is unpredictable. ”

The red lady stopped talking, with his strength, his men and horses should not have been defeated so badly, it was precisely because of poor mobility and lack of food, grass and weapons that he fell into the field where almost all the army was wiped out. Her failure has actually confirmed Qin Mu's words.

Qin Mu sighed: "It seems that you are indeed blinded by hatred, originally I planned to let you lead thousands of men and horses after the reorganization, forget it, look at you like this, handing over the army to you will only be killed by you." ”

"You" the red lady was very annoyed by him, but Zuihou couldn't resist the temptation and asked, "Are you really willing to give me a few thousand people." ”

"What do you call it? It is for you to lead, provided that you must obey military orders, otherwise you will be subject to military law. ”

"Listen to orders, listen to orders, the army has no jokes, if you agree, you have to give me thousands of men."

"It's the king's joke, the king's king."

"Whatever he is, you just need to give me the centaurs."

Qin Mu suddenly asked, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Gao Guiying, right?" ”

"Why are you asking this?"

The sunset has completely set down the mountain, and the scope of the sunset has also shrunk a lot, leaving only a corner of the western sky, and the rest of the sky has turned into a light ochre and pale blue color, the red lady stretched out her slender legs, seeing that Qin Mu had not answered for a long time, she couldn't help but look at him, but saw that he was staring at herself.

"What do you say, you little thief, what are you looking at me?" The red lady straightened her face and shaved him fiercely.

"This shijie is so wide, let the lonely be so slow, the wolf in the wilderness, who does it wander for"

"Don't be foolish, you're the wolf."

"Hehe, I didn't say you were, what are you anxious about? By the way, do you know where Yanran Mountain is? ”

"I don't know." The red lady shook her head, and unexpectedly remembered the zuihou sentence of this song: Many years ago, I wore time and walked against the wind through Yanran Mountain.

"Yanran Mountain is in Mobei, there are still three thousand miles from the north of Datong, and the wolf is in Xu, and the stone is Yanran. The great achievements of the predecessors are desirable, but since the Han and Tang Dynasties, we Han people have not been to Yanran Mountain, thousands of years, how many Han people still remember Yanran Mountain? ”

"What do you mean by that?" The red lady asked hesitantly.

"I want to go to Yanran Mountain to see, would you like to go with me? One day, let's take 100,000 armor and go on an expedition to Yanran together, clear the northern border troubles, and let the people live a peaceful life, and then let's also climb Yanran Mountain together, Le Shi to remember the merits, and set an example for future generations, do you say okay? ”

"Good!" The red lady looked fascinated, her eyes were shining, she blurted out a reply, and hurriedly closed her voice.

"Even if we agree, if we don't realize this dream, no one can give up, okay?"

"Don't keep asking if it's okay, just say it if you have something to say."

"Ahem, to realize our common dream, we must first destroy the Tartars, we have to fight a lot of battles, and if we want to fight, we have to recruit soldiers, distribute food, and it takes a lot of money to pay soldiers."

"What do you want to do?" The red lady suddenly looked vigilant.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, for our common dream, we must work together"

"You think beautifully, I can figure it out, you originally wanted to swallow the surplus wealth of the Dashun army, I just said, why are you so kind, give me thousands of men and horses in one go, it turned out that you wanted me to persuade Queen Gao to surrender, you are so good that you will annex it with people and wealth, this calculation is very loud."

"Don't go, don't go, don't go"

"You let go" The red lady snorted and shook her hand suddenly, but Qin Mu grabbed it too tightly, and her sleeves "Huh!" With a bang, it was rotten, revealing a jade arm, and she was so angry that she whipped it.

"I'm a wounded!" Qin Mu shouted urgently, in order to avoid a whip on the head, the red lady didn't expect him to be a scoundrel, and he was caught off guard and fell to the grass by him.

"Thief, you are looking for death"

"Don't shout, be careful of being seen by others, my reputation will be ruined."

"I'm going to kill you, huh?"

**********************************************

PS: It's been very tiring these days, and it will probably take a few days to finish sweeping the tomb. On the first day of sweeping the tomb here in my hometown, I swept nine generations of ancestors, and I finished sweeping the dinner of thousands of people. The next day, eight generations of ancestors were swept away, and 500 people had a large dinner. On the third day, seven generations of ancestors were swept away, and three hundred people had a dinner in short, one by one, and Zuihou swept to his great-grandfather's generation. Haoyuan's grandfather was an expeditionary force back then, probably sacrificed in Burma, and there has been no news for decades, and now there is not even a well-dressed tomb, alas!.
