Chapter 281: The Red Lady in the Beacon Years

***

In view of the seriousness of the situation, Azig urgently sent people to the north to hide outside Wu Sangui's camp, and sure enough, he caught a Qin army spy who came from crossing the water, and found a handwritten letter from Qin Mu to Wu Sangui from the spy.

From the tone, it is not difficult to see that this is a reply letter from Qin Mu to Wu Sangui.

In the letter, Qin Mu agreed to many conditions proposed by Wu Sangui, one of which was even Qin Mu's promise to give his concubine Dong Xiaowan to Wu Sangui;

The two sides agreed that after winning the world in the future, Guanzhong would be ceded to Wu Sangui as a fief. He also asked Wu Sangui to act immediately after receiving the letter and go around behind the Qing army to flank him.

Reading this letter, Azig was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, Wu Sangui had promised to surrender Li Zicheng, and when he heard that his favorite woman was robbed, he immediately turned to the Qing Dynasty in anger, which shows that it is possible for Wu Sangui to rebel for a woman, not to mention that there is an agreement to cede Guanzhong as a fief, which is the point.

If this matter is not discovered by his own people, I am afraid that he will die without a place to be buried.

Enraged, Azig even wanted to withdraw his men and attack the Guanning army from behind.

Meler Zhangjing Tong Dai hurriedly dissuaded: "Lord, I can't help it, our side suddenly stopped attacking for no reason, Wu Sangui must be suspicious, if we don't get it right, we still have to face Wu Sangui and Qin Mu from both sides." ”

Fan Wei also hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Wang, don't worry, we have robbed Qin Mu's letter, Wu Sangui has not received the letter, it is impossible to know that Qin Mu has agreed to his conditions." However, Qin Mu didn't see the messenger return, and he would definitely send someone else to contact Wu Sangui, and the prince might as well lure Wu Sangui over on the grounds of discussing the war, and restrain him first, so that things would be much easier. ”

Azig listened to the persuasion this time, and said fiercely: "Okay, just do it, Agtu." You go and call Wu Sangui, wait, even Feng Peng calls over, be careful, don't show your feet. ”

"Wow!" One of Azig's guards responded and hurried towards Wu Sangui's big tent.

"Tong Dai, slow down the offensive first, just let Toji make a show, you let the other centaurs be prepared, go quickly."

"Wow!"

Shortly after Qin Mu sent out the room of death. The attack of the eastern Tartars began to weaken, and the Qin troops who were fighting bloody battles were secretly relieved. Qin Mu immediately realized that this time the combination of anti-intermittent and dead-to-death was working.

"My lord, Azig weakened the offensive, but did not withdraw his troops immediately, this is only one possibility, he is afraid of alarming Wu Sangui."

Huo Sheng, Su Jin and their generals all pressed to the front line to command the battle, and Qin Mu only had two servants Yue Zhongliang and Wu Jimin around him, and Wu Jimin was the first to speak.

Yue Zhongliang also immediately said, "Not bad. The reaction of the Tartar is in line with Wu Yanshi's speculation, as the saying goes, shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king first. According to the normal situation, Azig most likely wanted to control Wu Sangui first. Then take the next step. ”

Qin Mu immediately said: "No matter what Azig plans, immediately deploy troops to strengthen the counterattack in the north, and at the same time shout to the Guanning army, whether they believe it or not." There will be some suspicions, as long as there is something abnormal on their side, Azig must not be able to wait. Either withdraw, or strike first. After saying that, he habitually slapped a few small tables with his hand, but forgot that there was a wound on his hand, hiss!

"Are you alright, sir?"

"It's okay, it's okay, go quickly."

As a result of the Azig slowing offensive, the Qin army was able to send thousands of men and horses from the eastern front to the northern front to join the battle against the Guanning army.

As soon as these people rushed in, they shouted at Guan Ningjun: "Don't fight, don't fight, the Han people don't fight the Han people, Azig let the Tartars withdraw, and our Han people and Han people are still beating a fart!" Although they shouted so, they were not idle at all in the bloody battle array.

It should be correct for the Qin army to say that Azig withdrew, otherwise it is unlikely that the Qin army would have drawn troops from the Eastern Front. All along, Azig always let the Guanning army rush ahead desperately to weaken the Guanning army, and the soldiers of the Guanning army were already dissatisfied with this, and when they heard that the Tartars had withdrawn first, they were even more unhappy.

"Brother Guan Ningjun, don't be stupid, don't work for the Tartars, you are Han people, be lackeys for the Tartars, this is something that even the ancestors are ashamed of, tell you, most of the troops in the east of the Tartars have been withdrawn, leaving only a small part to make a show, they are secretly preparing something, it seems to be against you, I don't believe you can send some people over to investigate."

This scene is extremely weird, in the night firelight, the two armies are fighting desperately, and the soldiers of the Qin army are waving their swords, but they are persuading them bitterly.

This matter soon reached the ears of Guo Yunlong, Hu Shouliang and others, the generals of the Guanning Army, who were not like ordinary soldiers, who thought that this was the Qin army spreading rumors, because Wu Sangui had just been sent by Azig to call him.

If it was just to ask Wu Sangui to go alone, after all, it was normal for the military situation to be discussed, but now that the two armies were fighting, Azig then even called the deputy general Feng Peng, in case there was any sudden change in the battle situation, the main and deputy commanders were not there, wouldn't they be killed?

After listening to Qin Jun's words, Guo Yunlong and Hu Shouliang hurriedly discussed, and felt that it was indeed necessary to send someone over to inquire about the situation on Azig's side, and at the same time to inquire whether Wu Sangui and Feng Peng were okay.

Inevitably, they also ordered the Guanning army to slow down the offensive

*********

Yangzhai Town Luowu Mountain.

Under the faint moonlight, the mountains are like a giant beast lurking on the ground, and the red lady looks at the mountains under the moon, and her eyes are gradually covered with a faint layer of sentimentality.

After he got the weapons, grain and grass provided by Qin Mu, he rushed back to Wuyang Pass, but he was still a step too late.

The men who held Wuyang Pass even ran out of arrows, and there was no food, although Wuyang Pass was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the Tartars had artillery. When Wuyang Pass was lost, the 2,000 Qin troops who rushed from Suizhou in the west to reinforce were still seventy miles away from Wuyang Pass, and they could not be saved.

When the red lady rushed back, she saw that more than 20,000 old and weak women and children were almost slaughtered by the murderous Tartars, and even the babies who were waiting to be fed were not spared.

Xing Lao Qi and Ghost Sanyue with the remnants of hundreds of horses, were chased by the Tartars in embarrassment, panicked, the red lady with two or three hundred people suddenly killed, and finally rescued Xing Lao Qi and them, but the weapons and grain they brought were also lost.

Now they are forced to retreat to this Luowu Mountain, asking for food but not food, weapons but no weapons, and half of the five or six hundred people are wounded.

In the night, listening to the painful moans from time to time, thinking of the corpses of the old and weak women and children who had paved all the way, the red lady felt that she had never been so fragile, and the moonlight still reflected her face, which looked so cold.

She rebelled from the flag when she was a teenager, and later joined Li Zicheng's rebel army, opened a warehouse, let go of grain, and there were tens of thousands of people under her command at the most.

In the blink of an eye, six or seven years have passed, the once eventful years have gone, Li Zicheng is dead, the Dashun army is also scattered, Henan's hometown is occupied by the Tartars, the entire Central Plains is occupied by the Tartars, the road to the south is also blocked by Luckdhun, and the hundreds of remnants of their own soldiers are trapped in this Luowu Mountain, with no way out.

At this moment, the red lady felt that she was so dazed, looking at the vague moonlight, she asked herself over and over again, what should I do?

After so many years of fighting, those stormy years, those once familiar faces, those people who fought side by side, where are they now? In a trance, everything has become so far away, is it really the end of the road today?

Moonlight was cold and silent. The night wind penetrates the body, the night black in the mountains cries from time to time, like people whimpering, and the night sky is full of stars, but it seems that the world is so empty.

Looking at the vast and lonely night sky, she unconsciously remembered the little song that Qin Mu hummed: This shijie is so wide, let loneliness be so slow. A wolf in the wilderness, for whom does it wander? Loneliness is a kind of wave, drilling into my heart, hearing myself shouting; Look at the sky, so I cut out the moonlight and shoot it at the place of my hometown. The night is as dark as ink, which star is named Mulan? Let me take my memories as dinner and swallow the acid of these many years. Love and hate are the desert in the palm of your hand, the story was forgotten by the point, many years ago I wore time and walked against the wind through Yanran Mountain.

A soft sigh drifted through the night wind

Qin Mu once said that she was the flower Mulan of the world, she also thought that she was a woman, who had been fighting on the battlefield since she was a teenager, and had experienced those magnificent years, but at this moment of destitude, she realized that she was nothing, and she couldn't do anything in the face of the remnants of the old and weak women and children everywhere.

Look at the sky, so I cut out the moonlight and shot it at my hometown, the red lady felt that the word was so unfamiliar, and she almost forgot where her hometown was.

Love and hate are the desert in the palm of your hand, have you ever loved? How come there are only those fiery memories left in my mind.

Just when the red lady fell into a state of drowning, a night bird suddenly flew up in the forest, and she stood up in shock.

"Sister Hong, it's me, Jing Laoqi, Sister Hong, the Tartars have withdrawn, withdrawn."

Jing Laoqi's voice was full of excitement, as if he had just picked up a life, and hurried up from the forest.

"Really withdrawn?" The red lady couldn't help but show joy.

"Really, they all withdrew, most of them went south overnight, and about 1,500 people returned to the direction of Wuyang Pass."

"What? South? ”

"Yes, Sister Hong, what's wrong? No matter where the Tartars go, we can just go down the mountain, the brothers lack food and clothing here, and they don't even have medicine for their injuries."

"It's not good, Jing Laoqi, you take your injured brother to the west, go to Suizhou to find Qin Mu's men and horses, and ask them to provide some help."

"Sister Hong, what are you going to do?"

"I've got to go after Luckdhun, he's going south to pick up Azigna, I've got to hold him back." At this moment, the red lady suddenly seemed to be a different person, no longer sad, only anxious.
