Zhao Chao said: "All of them must be dealt with, or everyone will fight back here, protect the second sister and the female relatives to cross the river, and die vigorously.
"No!" You Miao said decisively, "Don't give up until the last moment."
Pingxi, who went to explore the road, took care of the female relatives and finished crossing the river. He rode back and said, "There is a broken temple in front of you."
Zhao Chao and You Miao looked at each other and had an idea in their hearts.
"Using the broken temple to ambush." Zhao Chao said: "We still have arrows in our hands, and we hardly waste it along the way."
You Miao almost hit it off with Zhao Chao, he replied: "I'll take someone to set up an ambush, you take someone to wait in the backyard. Let's set up another trap and pretend that we and our people are killed."
"That's a good idea!" Zhao Chao said immediately: "Let's arrange it separately and try to catch them all in one go."
Fifteen to fifty.
You Miao did not have the courage to fight head-on. Fighting with physical strength, the Han people were innately unable to fight against the Tatars who had been trained outside the Great Wall. But the soldiers are always deceitful, and the Tartars have no brains.
To fight a war is actually to deceive others. If you deceive the enemy or even deceive him, you will win yourself.
There were rolling hills and terrain ahead. They walked along the road and mountains, paying attention to the terrain as they walked. Both roads were woods, making it easy to ambush. You Miao said: "Here is a place to lay down a horse rope, and then ambush five archers."
Zhao Chao said: "Yes, who is going to deceive?"
You Miao said, "I'll go."
Zhao Chao's expression changed: "No! You let Li Yan go. He is injured, and the Tatars are more likely to believe it."
At this moment, someone above shouted: "His Royal Highness! Come and see!"
You Miao and Zhao Chao climbed up the high ground. At nightfall, a purple light shone on the horizon toward the mountains. At the creek they had just crossed, the Tartars fought with someone unknown. Some were killed and their bodies fell. In the river, dye the water a dark color.
"It should be the Hu people who came after us." Zhao Chao said: "Have you found it? There were nearly a hundred Tatars who were chasing us at the beginning, and there were fewer and fewer people along the way, and most of them were killed by the Hu people."
You Miao frowned and said, "But aren't the Tatars and the Hu people an alliance?"
Zhao Chao: "The relationship between several tribes outside the Great Wall is not reliable, and some have formed feuds. After so many years of killing and killing, it is difficult to tell the grievances."
You Miao asked, "Go and help?"
Zhao Chao said: "Don't, if it falls into the hands of the Hu people, it will never be easier. Let's take a look first, what if you don't have to fight? Look! Another dead!"
They watched for a while. The light was so dim that they couldn't tell which side was killing people, nor could they see the specific battle process, until night fell and the stars rose in the sky, and they could no longer be seen.
"How many people are there in the end?" You Miao asked.
Zhao Chaodao: "There are less than twenty, I can't remember, it's great! We have a good chance of winning now!"
You Miao murmured: "I hope they run away, but forget it... the battle is over."
The Tartar pursuers chased here, thinking that it would be impossible to give up, Zhao Chao discussed with You Miao for a moment, canceled the previous plan, and let everyone rest in the ruined temple for a while, build a fire for the night, and then pass the must-see outside the ruined temple. Buried archers on the road.
They had eaten all their food, and when the cold spring came, the weather was a bit gloomy and gloomy, and the teenagers shrank beside the fire and shivered.
"Where's Li Yan?" You Miao sat down and found that Li Yan was gone.
"Going to dig the mouse hole." One person replied, "Looking for something to eat."
You Miao waited for a long time, there was no signal from Zhao Chao outside, I was afraid that the Tartars would not go up the mountain tonight. He was leaning against the wall, his stomach growling with hunger, he had been fleeing for several days, and he had no time to hunt.
Zhao Chao came back, threw down his helmet, his body smelled sour, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I might not come tonight, I left two people to watch, let's sleep first."
You Miao nodded, thinking about finding some bark to eat, so that he could act tomorrow, but he was hungry and cold, and didn't want to get up... Forget it.
In the middle of the night, he smelled some aroma—in the ruined temple, several teenagers gathered around one place, cooking in broken bowls. It was fine without food, but as soon as the aroma came, You Miao felt like she was about to die. After a while, Li Yan's voice said, "To the third highness."
A bowl of rice soup was brought over, Zhao Chao glanced at it and asked, "Where did you get the rice?"
Someone replied, "Li Changshi took it out of the rat's nest."
Zhao Chao took it, more than thirty people, and there was only such a bowl to eat. He turned his hand and handed it to You Miao, saying, "Eat, you can kill when you're full."
You Miao swallowed her saliva, took the bowl, and was watched by everyone, so she had to take a mouthful of porridge, but as soon as the porridge entered, You Miao forgot everything in the world, came back to life immediately, and gulped it down. nearly half. When the warm rice porridge passed through his throat, he felt a sense of resurrection. You Miao felt that in all these years, he had never encountered anything better than this bowl of porridge.
He drank half the bowl and handed it to Zhao Chao, but Zhao Chao shook his head, patted the back of his hand, and motioned him to look.
You Miao glanced at Li Yan and the others looking at them. The eyes were very complicated, and when You Miao saw it, several people turned their heads away.
"Ziqian." Zhao Chao whispered: "You remember it for me."
"What?" You Miao asked blankly.
Zhao Chao: "I am sincere to you."
You Miao shook for an instant, Zhao Chao patted him on the shoulder, got up and said, "I'll take a look, if I can beat a rabbit and come back to eat."
Zhao Chao left, and You Miao understood the meaning of his words. Both Zhao Yong and Zhao Yan were taken away by the Tartars. Now the Zhao family can really speak, and only Zhao Chao is qualified. If you return to the south, and the noble family who fled south has not yet established a new emperor, then Zhao Chao will do his part and be the emperor!
what does that mean
No, now the war situation is worrying, and Jiangnan is still in danger, but along the way, You Miao gradually discovered that Li Yan and others' attitude towards Zhao Chao has changed a lot. Maybe he was the only one who realized this problem at last. If everyone is safe and sound and returns to Jiangnan, he will really be under one person and over ten thousand people.
It's hard to say whether he can survive, You Miao couldn't help laughing at himself. Country, mountains and rivers, home, and his Jiangbo Villa... If he was asked to change it, he would rather use Jiangbo Villa and his career in exchange for Li Zhifeng's company. However, the land in the north was devastated, and if he followed Li Zhifeng back to the Quanrong at this time, he would have put tens of millions of people at a time when the country was destroyed, and the country would be ignored.
He was willing to give up glory and wealth, but he was determined not to sit back and watch his homeland be trampled by the iron hooves of the Tartars.
The fire crackled and burned, and You Miao gradually became sleepy. He leaned against the corner of the ruined temple. When he woke up, he found that Zhao Chao had returned from patrolling and threw several cloth bags on the ground. Inside were the mutton jerky and leather bags carried by the Tartars. liquor.
