The eldest daughter, Aixi, was six years old when she first returned to her father's palace, and she entered Youzhou in the evening. When Zhang Yingying went to formally meet her mother-in-law Han with many gifts, she slipped out directly and entered the Yeting Palace, where the palace maids lived and worked, and several young palace maids were washing the old woolen thread by the well, and saw a girl quietly squeezing in from the moon gate, and it was a female doll in a white dress and a white skirt who came in.

The palace maids mistakenly thought that the eldest lady who went to Changping Ruiwen was back, and Ruiwen usually likes to come here to play with them, and she can always get everyone's love and love.

When I went up to see it, it was not, it was a pink, cute doll. At this time, Aixi had long black hair that dragged up to her waist, tied with a snow-white ribbon, her face was round, pink and tender, without a little fat powder, but pink white and red.

Ai-hee went into the courtyard and stood in front of the well and looked around blankly, carrying a white bear doll in his white dress, one of the various dolls that his father, whom he had never met, would always send him on his birthday. Under the summer sun, Aixi's face is plated with a layer of gold, exuding an innocent and lovely atmosphere.

She raised her arm to wipe the sweat from her face, and the palace hairdressers noticed that he was wiping the sweat not with his sleeve but with a scented handkerchief, and his graceful movements made a deep impression on them.

Aixi walked to the well and said to Lian'er who was washing the wool thread with some curiosity, "What is this?" Press a few times for what to do. Water will come out of this iron pipe. Could it be a water dragon? ”

Lian'er walked over and took a clean bucket and pressed a bucket of water, and said to her with a smile: "Oh, this, this is a hand-pressed well, after pressing, there will be water squirting out." This water pressure well is very labor-saving, and there is no need to stand on the edge of an open well to draw water, which saves effort. You won't have to worry about slipping on the snow and ice on rainy days. As she spoke, she threw a handkerchief into the bucket, "Look at the sweat on your head, come and wash your face, this well water is cool." ”

Aixi walked to the bucket, but did not take Lian'er's veil, but directly bent down and buried her whole face in the water, her body was bent like a bow, and her face was buried in the water and swayed constantly.

Lian'er said, "Do you want fragrant pancreas?" Ai-hee didn't speak. Lian'er said, "The water is too cold, isn't it?" Ai-hee still didn't speak.

Watching this cute female doll actually bury her face in the bucket for so long and not come out. They couldn't help but be amazed. Lian'er glanced at the other palace maids by the well, covered her mouth and smiled. They guessed that this little girl was the daughter of a relative of King Qin, or perhaps the daughter of a subordinate general who came into the palace with her mother, and heard that the Queen of Korea entered the palace today, and everyone heard that this Queen of Korea was actually a woman of King Qin outside.

Perhaps this little girl is the daughter that the wife of a Qin official brought into the palace when she came to see the queen of Joseon.

At this time, Aixi finally raised her head from the bucket, her face was more striking and delicate after washing, and her two eyebrows were very thin and black, like two willow leaves, curved and slender.

Aixi glanced at Lian'er, "What are you laughing at, if it's in the sea, I can hold my breath longer." ”

Lian'er still smiled and said: "Wow, who are you, you are so powerful, have you ever seen the sea, the little guy is still bragging." ”

Aixi snorted angrily, turned her head, and left the well with her little bear, and after a few steps, she turned around and said, "Who am I, you will know the Tao sooner or later." ”

The next day, everyone in the Forbidden Palace knew that the Queen of North Korea did not come to visit her mother-in-law alone yesterday, and she also brought her six-year-old daughter Aixi into the palace together. At this time, Lian'er and the others realized that the little girl from yesterday turned out to be the eldest daughter of King Qin, and also Ruiwen's sister-in-law, two sisters who had never met, one was the daughter of King Qin, the princess of Yanguo of the Tang Dynasty, and the other was the daughter of the queen of Joseon, the crown prince, and Princess Qinghe.

The next day, Zhang Yingying, who had visited Han, left Yanjing, but left her 20,000 soldiers and horses behind and sent them to the military capital to listen to Hou Li Jing's dispatch, including her most elite maritime legion. In addition, she also kept her daughter.

Yu Youniang, who is now in charge of the palace, arranged Aixi to live in Jiangxuexuan, which is next to Cining Palace, where the Han family now lives, and not far from Yu Youniang's Kunning Palace and Wang Guiniang's Yikun Palace, Wang Haojun's Changchun Palace, Xiao Yulou's Yonghe Palace, etc. Yu Youniang selected a group of capable palace women and palace maids from the Yeting Palace and transferred them to Jiangxuexuan, and Lian'er was arranged to be the personal palace maid in front of the eldest lady Aixi.

The next day, when Lian'er went to Jiangxuexuan, she was timid, and she lowered her head and shouted princess, but Ai-hee had forgotten that Lian'er had collided with her, or that Ai-hee didn't care about what Lian'er had said at all. Aixi changed into a sky-blue skirt that day, with a pair of clogs on her feet, her face was excellent, and she looked just a little silent, as if she had just separated from her mother.

Lian'er was both a little envious of Aixi and a little pity for her. envied her background, as soon as she was born in her mother's womb, she was already destined to be rich and prosperous all her life. But he is pitiful to have such a pair of parents, so that there has been no family reunion since he was a child, and when he was six years old, he had not seen his father.

She pulled Aixi to her side and took a closer look, "Are you reluctant to be separated from your mother?" ”

Ai-hee is carrying a purple cloth monkey in her hand today, and Lian'er has the impression that she will never leave these dolls in her hands.

"Mother said to let Ai-hee stay here, saying that grandmother and father want to see Ai-hee, and grandmother has already seen Ai-hee, but where is father, why doesn't he come to see Ai-hee?"

"His Royal Highness King Qin is fighting in the north, and he will be able to triumph soon, and then he will be able to meet the lovely Princess Aixi." Lian'er chuckled.

At this time, Li Jing had already left the military capital pass, and arrived at the Broken Cloud Ridge Military Village on the edge of the Yanghe River in Xinzhou, from here he went up the river and continued to move forward, which was the boundary of Yun and Weidi, and now the Tiancheng Military City and Qingsai Military City there had been occupied by the Hu people.

Li Jing couldn't wait for the assembly of the follow-up troops, so he immediately rushed out of the pass after Liu Xun left the pass, and personally led 50,000 horses composed of guards, township soldiers, Xuejun and some Wuhu cavalry to go out of the capital first. Keep heading northwest along the Guan River. instead of following Liu Xun's footsteps to Ulzhou.

Military Intelligence Division report. Li Siyuan had not yet died in battle, and had just discovered their whereabouts, and they were trapped at the upper source of the Sheep River, just outside the Great Wall. Since Li Siyuan is not dead, Li Jing does not plan to give up on him. This is not only because Li Siyuan has tens of thousands of horses in his hands, but also because Li Siyuan is a banner that has defected to him in Shatuo, and he can't let Li Siyuan fall like this.

However, if Li Jing wanted to open the passage with Li Siyuan, he must first take the Tiancheng Military City and the Qingsai Military City in the north of Ulzhou, which were blocking between them.

Outside the Great Wall!

Ironwood Thorn and Ghost Chi'er each led 3,000 cavalry. Horses and people are silent, quietly lurking under the hillside, here is one of the two roads that the Shatuo people must pass through to break through on the field outside the road, condescending, through the starlight can barely see the situation several miles down the slope. In the same case, it is difficult to spot the situation on the slope at the bottom of the slope.

The cavalry of the Tatar Alliance, six thousand, spread out in battle formation in the dark night, looked from a distance like two dense trees.

In the calculation of the ironwood thorn. Lone soldiers like Sha Tuo are far superior to many steppe tribes in their character. They will never sit back and wait for death, they will definitely break through. And if you break through, you will either go west or east, north and south will encounter a large army of Hu's army. Therefore, there are only two options left for Shatuo, East or West.

Tiemu Thorn judged that the Shatuo people would go east, because to the east was the territory of the Zhenwu army, which was not only far away from the Zhenwu army, but also sparsely populated, difficult to supply, and easy to be caught up by cavalry. To the west, as long as you can cross the Great Wall, you can enter the territory of Ulju, which is now Li Jing's territory.

To the east, within twenty miles, there is only this one intersection.

No matter how the Shatuo people would break through, they could face the encirclement of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and even if they rushed out, they would only break up and flee. Therefore, when Temuthorn proposed to the besieging tribal leaders that six thousand Tatar confederation tribesmen and horses should be ambushed here, the rest of the chiefs agreed.

They waited here, the purpose was to completely annihilate Li Siyuan's department, and no one was left.

Faintly hearing the shouts of killing on the main battlefield in the distance, it can be imagined that the battle over there is extremely fierce, and both of them can't help but secretly pray, I hope these Shatuo people are not so unlucky, no matter what, they must support them to escape and become their prisoners.

The two of them waited patiently, as if they were hunting on the grassland.

As time passed, the shouts of killing on the battlefield gradually subsided, and for a moment, Ironwood Thorn and Ghost Chi'er even thought that the Shatuo people had been killed. But the sporadic sound of killing has never stopped, but it has made them look forward to it a little more.

Finally, when their patience was about to run out, a storm of iron hooves rushed into their ears, and under the starlight, the black cavalry of the brigade rushed straight forward.

Temura was excited for a while, staring at this Shatuo army. He turned his head to look at the ghost Chi'er, they all belonged to the same tribe in the Tatar Alliance, but this alliance was very loose before it was conquered by the Khitans, let alone the new alliance now. Timber Thorn and Ghost Chi'er are not related, the two are of equal status and status, each leading the warriors of their own tribe, and he is worried that Ghost Chi'er will not be able to resist the impulse and act in advance.

Fortunately, there was no change in the Ghost Chi'er's department, and the iron wood thorn was relieved. Continue to observe the Shatuo army that broke through.

Yes, he had seen that this was a breakout, not a rout. Although it was dark in the night, as long as he listened to the sound and looked at the overall momentum of the team's advance, he could already see that this Shatuo army was still maintaining a strict formation at this time, and their number exceeded his expectations.

At least more than three thousand, possibly around four thousand.

The team had clearly just experienced a fierce cavalry battle, and as they galloped and adjusted their ranks, no one panicked, no one left behind, and no one fled.

Tiemu Thorn had to secretly praise in his heart, Shatuo cavalry, sure enough, the world's elite!

"Li Siyuan is not dead yet!" Tiemu Thorn immediately came to a judgment that if Li Siyuan died in battle, even if it was a Shatuo person, it would never be possible for him to have such cohesion at such a time. Just looking at the momentum of the Shatuo people at this time, he knew that Li Siyuan was definitely not dead, and he was in this army. He couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart, Li Siyuan's head belonged to me. Three thousand Han slaves, plus three thousand war horses, are mine. 3,000 Han slaves and 3,000 war horses, this is the reward that Li Keyong really offered to the tribal leaders to win Li Siyuan's head. Even for a tribal leader like Ironwood Thorn, it was an enticing reward.

Li Siyuan led his horse to gallop on the vast grassland shrouded in darkness, and the summer breeze blew on his face, making him feel a kind of pleasure like unshackling. When he broke out of the encirclement and returned to the wilderness, he had the pleasure of returning to the sea and the tiger entering the mountains and forests.

When they arrived here, they were out of the encirclement, and they Shatuo people would never fear any enemy when they fought alone.

However, Li Siyuan did not dare to relax his vigilance in the slightest, the battle is not over, the danger still exists, in this grassland, there may be enemy troops rushing out at any time!

"To the east, keep going!" (To be continued......)
