From winter to spring, the snow and ice have melted along the way. You Miao said in her heart that she didn’t want to make another escape for the third time. The two trips to the south were really exhausting. , the situation that one less step is to die is much better.
The three of them stopped and walked on the road, and when they came to Languan, they finally saw the person who responded.
"Master You, General Li, General Nie!" When the man saw the three horses entering the pass, he immediately said: "Several of you must go to the Yellow River immediately, the troops of the Tartars have already moved south!"
"What?!" You Miao's expression changed: "Impossible! Are they going to declare war?"
The ten-year contract has not yet expired, and I have never heard of the wind before the Spring Hunting. Why did you so rashly declare war
"How many people came?" You Miao asked.
"I don't know." The Colonel said, "Your Majesty will send letters along the way, so I can intercept your words and let you rush to the Yellow River."
Nie Dan said, "Is General Lin guarding along the Yellow River?"
The captain said: "Now Your Majesty has asked Hebei to strengthen the defense, waiting for the three to be brought back."
When You Miao heard this, her head froze, and she asked, "He... What else did His Majesty say?"
"That's all." The captain said: "The news said that Batu Khan of the Tartars was heading south, so our court has sent troops to wait by the Yellow River..."
You Miao didn't have time to think about what kind of leisure Batu had, and ran to the Yellow River, so he hurriedly mounted his horse and ran wildly.
Along the Yellow River, the rolling river water rushes eastward. The area that used to be the Central Plains is now desolate.
Several years ago, after Nie Dan led his army to defeat He Motie'er, the two sides took the Yellow River as the boundary, the Tartars retreated to the north, and the Han people retreated to the south. Some officials once proposed to move back to Gyeonggi, but they were unanimously opposed by the courtiers. First, the front lines were too close, and second, Gyeonggi had been burned to ruins by the Tatars, and it would take a long time to rebuild the capital. Cost too much.
Shuangfang passed by so peacefully for several years, but now, looking at the past, the Yellow River is full of Han army flags. Opposite is the Tatar barracks. There are not many people on both sides, it seems that they are waiting for reinforcements, and it seems that they are not here to start a war.
As soon as You Miao entered the boundary of the Yellow River, someone led a team of soldiers to greet him in a hurry. Three horses descended from the hillside, and nearly a hundred soldiers from the Apocalypse came forward to greet him, which was very conspicuous. However, in a short while, the news of their return alerted the Tartar army stationed on the other side of the plain.
Ping Xi arrived in a hurry, and without saying a word, he and You Miao stood on the horse and turned to listen to the other party's horn. A galloping horse passed through the Tatar camp and ran towards the Han army.
what is this? You Miao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that because of He Motie'er's death, he wanted Tianqi to surrender himself? Or go to war? Will Zhao Chao hand over the three of them? Certainly not... Not to mention that Nie Dan is still there.
Inside the military camp, Li Yan came on horseback, You Miao's expression changed, even Li Yan came
"Come to discuss peace?" You Miao said.
Li Yan and Pingxi looked at each other, and Pingxi said, "Batu wants to see you, and he sent someone to communicate three days ago. I don't know what he means."
Li Yan said: "Let's go back first?"
Nie Dan said: "Let him come to the middle of the plain, bring fifty people each, and if you want to meet, just meet once."
In the past, Nie Dan was above Li Yan and Ping Xi, and no one in the civil and military dared to disobey him. At this moment, Li Yan had to go back to make arrangements, Ping Xi took a long breath, looked at You Miao, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing? Are you with General Nie?"
"I bumped into it by accident." You Miao replied in a low voice.
Pingxi: "You guys have made a big deal this time..."
"I got rid of He Motie'er." You Miao whispered: "If the Tartars send people to negotiate, you must stand firm and protect us..."
"I know." Pingxi said: "A few days ago, everyone has jointly signed a letter. Your Majesty will not embarrass you. He himself wants to go north this year, but he..."
There was a second round of trumpets in the distance, Batu's Wang Qi had come out of the camp, and Li Yan reported back and forth: "The other party wants to see you by name."
You Miao said, "See you then."
With a quick glance, You Miao saw that his soldiers were holding the flag of "Zhao". He expected that he had no home soldiers here, Nie Dan had already handed over the right to disarm, and Li Zhifeng had no personal soldiers. I don't even care.
Perhaps, this can be regarded as the first historic direct dialogue between the two kings of the North and the South. I represent Zhao Chao.
You Miao was very nervous. He didn't expect to encounter this as soon as he came back. He didn't even give him the leisure to think.
"Don't get too close later." A man dressed as a school captain came over on horseback and said to You Miao.
You Miao was shocked, it was Zhao Chao!
"Your Majesty you..."
"Shh—" Zhao Chao's expression changed a little, and he said, "I'm afraid Batu will take you away."
"It doesn't matter if Li Zhifeng and eldest brother are here," You Miao said to Zhao Chao in a low voice, the two riders galloped side by side, and whispered a few words, Zhao Chao turned back and saw Nie Dan.
"Big brother." Zhao Chao whispered.
Nie Dan nodded slightly and said no more, Zhao Chao then backed up a little, behind You Miao, and You Miao rode ahead and came to the middle of the plain.
The wind was blowing, the yellow sand was chaotic, and behind him was the surging Yellow River, rushing endlessly.
Youmiao looked around, the gray sky was over his head, the mountains and rivers were wide, and the solitary bird flew by. The flag is flying.
At that moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling. Behind him, there were three sworn brothers and half of the Southern Dynasties! Life is like this, what can I ask for? Suddenly, a sense of arrogance rose, and he smiled and said in the distance: "Ba Tu Mo!"
Batu came out of the crowd, and in the plain of Zhuma, he galloped towards Youmiao unhurriedly.
"If you make a sneak attack now." Zhao Chao whispered to Nie Dan: "Can you take him back?"
"Impossible." Nie Dan replied in a deep voice, "Even if you kill him now, there will still be a prince of the Tartars who can succeed him. The Tartars will not fall apart."
Zhao Chao looked into the distance and just sneered.
Batu got closer and said, "I led an army to chase you for three days and three nights, but I still couldn't catch up."
You Miao was not without shame in her heart. After all, he lied to Batu. Batu once regarded him as a friend, but Batu regarded him as a friend. You Miao also saved his life, and everyone was even.
"I have my position." You Miao said: "There is no way."
Just such a thing, You Miao still felt that Batu was too tender and too young. It might be better if Batu didn't chase after him.
"Is your name You Miao?" Batu asked, "That You Miao who said in front of General He Motie'er that the country can perish, but integrity cannot perish?"
You Miao was shocked, and Batu smiled and said, "I always wanted to ask you this, because that day, when He Motie'er let someone put you outside the school grounds of Baishibao and wanted to dismember you, I would stand there. On the tower. I wanted to let you go while He Motie was away, but then, Sanado came."
"At that time..." You Miao couldn't help muttering.
"I was very young at that time." Batu said: "Only eleven years old."
You Miao said: "So you have seen me."
Batu said, "I almost didn't recognize you. It wasn't until the night when I went to White Wolf Mountain, when you mentioned the south, that I remembered you back then."
You Miao smiled sadly and said, "Fate is really a wonderful thing. You chased me for thousands of miles, not just to tell me this."
Batu said: "Not only for this, you promised me to send me a letter to your emperor. Why did you leave before I wrote my letter?"
You Miao said, "It's my fault, have you written your letter?"
Batu Tse came on horseback, and You Miao went immediately, and the two horses were next to each other. At that moment, all the soldiers on both sides were tense, like a taut string.
You Miao's fists were clenched tightly. He knew that at this moment, he could draw out his dagger, and with just one dagger, he could wipe Batu's throat. However, he didn't do this, just took a letter from Batu.
"There will be a period later." Batu laughed.
"There will be a period later." You Miao said: "I will definitely pass this letter to Your Majesty."
You Miao turned and left, and the two cavalry with Batu escaped into the vast wind and sand, and each returned to his own camp.
