Soldiers and horses galloped across the land in June, sending up bursts of dust that covered the sky and the sun.
"Miss Minghua."
Several sentinels walked through the dust and smoke to Li Minghua's location.
If it weren't for his petite stature, Li Minghua would be no different from a soldier now. He had thrown away his splendid Luo Yi long ago and was wearing an ill-fitting military robe. He had removed his gold and silver hairpin and even the earrings. His hair was tied into a soldier's cap. He had been a boudoir for seventeen years. Her delicate skin turned gray, her mouth was dry and her lips were chapped, but her eyes were getting darker and brighter.
"How is it?" Li Minghua asked urgently.
"Jiangling Mansion has not been lost yet." The sentinel told the good news.
Li Minghua's hand holding the reins loosened slightly. It was great. He could still catch up. On the way, he heard that the Pengcheng army was defeated and fled. The other four guards retreated. The war was unfavorable. Jiangling Fucheng was short of soldiers and horses. People's hearts were bound to be turbulent. The rebels were fierce. , Jiangling Fucheng is probably lost.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that they actually defended it.
The general¡¯s expression was a little surprised but more of admiration.
"But precisely because Jiangling Fucheng was not captured, Chengqing, who was originally going to the southeast, came over." The sentinel told another bad news.
The atmosphere around him was a little stagnant. There was no need to say how many soldiers the rebels had, just Cheng Qing's name.
"In the past, generals were able to stabilize the border through one foreign campaign after another, just like the governor." The general said solemnly, "But now these people rely on cruelty and madness."
"This is a troubled world, and demons are everywhere.
The general held the long sword: "Jiangling Mansion is in danger."
The sentinel opened the map of Jiangling Prefecture and said: "Pengcheng Camp has all the materials and is in a unique position. We can divide our troops to capture Pengcheng Camp. This can not only cut off Chengqing's food and grass, but also create an encirclement and pincer attack. Even if we cannot repel the rebels for a while. Army, hold the Pengcheng camp to confront Chengqing, and wait for reinforcements from the Huainan Road in the mountains."
The general and deputy general nodded around the map. Without further ado, they looked at Li Minghua: "Miss Minghua, we are about to march in a hurry. If you can't keep up with us, we will leave you with twenty people."
Li Minghua said: "Leaving five people with me is enough. Please go quickly."
There were five people, and the general hesitated: "Now there is chaos in all directions, bandits are infested, it will be very dangerous."
Li Minghua said: "There is no place more dangerous than Jiangling Mansion. If Jiangling Mansion is not protected, I will not survive."
The old city fell and her relatives were separated. She, a little girl, could not survive even if she had dozens of soldiers and horses in this land occupied by the rebels.
The general no longer hesitated, and clasped his fists in response to Li Minghua. As expected, only five people were left, and the whole group removed their armor and abandoned their food and grass and walked away quickly.
Li Minghua did not follow immediately and asked five soldiers to collect the scattered armor and food: "Find a few cars and let's take them away."
She is not stingy and reluctant to part with the food and grass, but she just feels that instead of keeping up with the soldiers and horses as quickly as possible, it is better to bring food, grass, armor and weapons to keep up.
"Even if you five soldiers and horses keep up, it won't be of much use." Li Minghua said, "It's better to have more food, weapons and armor, maybe it can help."
The five soldiers responded and divided three of them to search, leaving two to pack up. Li Minghua rolled up her sleeves and helped. She couldn't move the food and grass, and the armor was heavy, so she could only organize the weapons. Although these soldiers listened to her command, but she guessed they were a little confused.
If the people are gone, what¡¯s the use of armor and food?
She also thought about this, she didn¡¯t know, maybe she thought she might be able to find someone who could wear armor and weapons and continue fighting.
It¡¯s just that there¡¯s no one there now
A sharp roar pierced the sky. Li Minghua had already recognized this alarm, and two soldiers had surrounded her to protect her.
"Miss Minghua, mount up," they said.
Li Minghua grabbed a knife and got on his horse. The three of them were about to leave without saying a word, but they were still a step too late. The sound of horse hooves came from behind, left and behind, and there were bursts of dust and smoke, as if there were thousands of horses galloping.
Li Minghua and three others were surrounded.
The two soldiers showed no fear in their expressions and were preparing for battle. Li Minghua also tightened his grip on the knife in his hand.
The smoke and dust dispersed, and both sides saw each other clearly. What was coming was not soldiers, and what was galloping was not thousands of horses
"There are only three people! And there is a woman!" A thin man holding a knife on his head and a leaf hat tied around his waist shouted with excitement, "It's a waste of our branches and hurting our horses."
He raised his hand and cut off the horse with a knife.The branches tied to their crotches were followed by others. What they were most concerned about at this moment was their own horses. The three people surrounded over there didn't need to care at all.
"I knew there wouldn't be so many people here."
"There are so many things!"
"Move the food and grass first!"
"I want to wear a suit of armor!"
"I want that knife, no one can take it from me."
It was noisy with shouts, laughter and arguments.
This is a group of bandits. In troubled times, what people fear most is bandits besides rebels. Bandits are everywhere. If you can escape from the rebels, you may die at the hands of the bandits the next moment.
"We are the guards of Jiannan Road." A female voice shouted loudly in the noise, "The imperial guards are ordered to suppress the rebellion. No one can stop us."
The girl¡¯s voice is as gentle as an oriole. Even though it is a little tired, hoarse and trembling, it still sounds very pleasant.
The noise suddenly died down, everyone looked over, and the next moment they burst into laughter, as if they had heard what a ridiculous joke.
Li Minghua tensed up and turned a deaf ear to the laughter.
"The Jiannan Road Guards are suppressing the rebellion. Anyone who dares to stop them will be treated as a traitor and not killed." She shouted loudly, raising the long knife in her hand.
Thieves are afraid of officers and soldiers, whether in peaceful times or troubled times, but there is a difference in fear. For bandits in troubled times, fear depends on the situation.
Previously, they were afraid when a large number of soldiers and horses passed by, so they did not show up. Now there are only a few soldiers and horses left. Of course, they are not afraid, so they show up.
Since they dared to show up, they wanted to kill the guards. Now two or three guards said they wanted to kill them. This is really ridiculous.
"What kind of guard is this? Why are there girls?"
"Jiannan Road Guards? I heard that there is a boy leading the army in Jiannan Road. It turns out there are women."
"Hey, you Jiannan Road guards, what are you doing in Jiangnan Road? You are disobeying orders!"
Laughter, shouting, ridicule, and questions rang out randomly.
The two soldiers were not angered by the words, and neither was Li Minghua. The three of them straightened their backs, as if there were thousands of troops behind them.
"Jiannan Road rushed to the rescue at the request of Jiangling Mansion. The Jiangling Mansion rebels are in critical situation." Li Minghua said loudly, regardless of whether anyone listened to these chattering and noisy bandits, she struggled with the noisy laughter with the loudest voice, " Not only the guards of Jiannan Road, but also the Qi Governor of Southeast Road and the Lady of Chu State of Huainan Road all came with reinforcements"
As she said this, a louder voice jumped out from the noise and interrupted her.
"What? Are there so many soldiers and horses? That's really scary! Let's run away."
As soon as he said this, the noise died down, and the surging bandits gave way to a road. At the end of the road, there was a young man riding a horse with his chest and back exposed. He had a handsome face under the sun and a sassy demeanor. He was holding a knife in one hand and a knife in the other. with a piece of barbecue.
After saying this, he took a bite of meat and chewed it hard.
I don¡¯t see what¡¯s scary about it
Whether what he said was a taunt or a tease, Li Minghua didn't think about it, and said loudly: "Yes, there are many guards from Jiangnan Road coming to help, you should get out of the way quickly."
The bandits were thinking very seriously, and they all looked at the man. The men standing closest boldly asked: "Brother, do you want to run away?"
The elder brother¡¯s voice was muffled with meat in his mouth: ¡°Run away!¡±
Those men gritted their teeth and waved their hands at the bandits: "Escape"
The bandits who were laughing earlier had strange expressions on their faces, but they all urged their horses to turn around
What's the meaning? Li Minghua and the two soldiers were on guard, with a trace of confusion flashing in their eyes. Before he could react, he saw the meat-eating man swallowing the meat, raising the knife in his hand, and shouting clearly: "No, we can't escape." ."
So it¡¯s cat playing with mouse? Li Minghua tightened his grip on the knife.
The bandits all breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, preparing to roar and threaten.
"There are so many soldiers and horses coming from Jiangnan Road, can we escape?" the man said, pointing at Li Minghua with the meat and bones in his hand, "Miss, if we also kill the rebels with you, your guards will You won¡¯t be held accountable for our crimes, right?¡±
Li Minghua looked at the bandit in front of him and couldn't hold on to the breath he had been holding.
It¡¯s such a troubled time, and the things and people I see are so strange. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
