To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 265 Volume 5 8 Sounds of Ganzhou

From winter to spring, the ice and snow along the way have melted. You Miao thought that in his lifetime, he really didn’t want to run away for the third time. The two trips to the south were really exhausting. However, this time with Nie Dan and Li Zhifeng, he was more lifeless than the last time. , the situation of running one step less and dying is much better.

The three stopped and stopped on the road, and when they came to Languan, they finally met the person who answered them.

"Lord You, General Li, General Nie!" The man saw the three riders entering the pass, and immediately said: "You guys must go to the Yellow River immediately, the troops of the Tartars have already moved south!"

"What?!" You Miao's face changed: "Impossible! Are they going to declare war?"

The ten-year contract has not yet expired, and there has been no rumors before Spring Hunting. Why did you declare war so rashly?

"How many people are here?" You Miao asked.

"I don't know." The lieutenant said, "Your Majesty will send someone to send a message along the way, so they can intercept your words and let you hurry to the Yellow River."

Nie Dan said, "General Lin is still guarding along the Yellow River?"

The captain said: "Now His Majesty has ordered Hebei to strengthen its defenses, waiting to take back the three."

You Miao's head got dizzy when she heard it, and she asked, "What else did he... His Majesty say?"

"Only this sentence." The captain said: "The news says that Batu Khan of the Tartars is going 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 idleness Batu had, so he ran to the Yellow River, so he had to mount his horse in a hurry and gallop all the way.

On the banks of the Yellow River, the river is rushing eastward, and the former Central Plains area is now full of desolation.

A few years ago, after Nie Dan led his army to defeat He Mo Tie'er, the Yellow River was used as the boundary between the two sides. The Tatars retreated to the north, while the Han people retreated to the south.An official once proposed to move back to Gyeonggi, but was unanimously opposed by courtiers.Firstly, the battle lines were too close, and secondly, the capital had been burned to ruins by the Tatars, and it would take a long time to rebuild the capital.It costs too much.

The two sides have lived in peace for several years, but now, looking at the past, there are many flags of the Han army on the banks of the Yellow River.Opposite is the Tatar barracks.There are not many people on both sides, and they seem to be waiting for reinforcements, and they don't seem to come here for a war.

As soon as You Miao entered the boundary of the Yellow River, someone led a group of soldiers to greet him in a hurry. Three cavalry descended from the hillside, and nearly a hundred Tianqi soldiers came forward to meet them, which was very conspicuous.However, in a short while, the news of their return alarmed the Tatar army stationed on the other side of the plain. The opponent blew their horns and spread them all over the bank of the Yellow River in the north wind.

Ping Xi rushed to them, and before he could say a word, he and You Miao stopped on the horse, and turned their heads to listen to the sound of the other party's horn.A galloping horse passed through the Tatar barracks and ran towards the Han army.

What's the matter?You Miao's heart skipped a beat, is it because of He Motie'er's death that Tianqi is going to hand him over?Or go to war?Will Zhao Chao hand over the three of them?Certainly not...not to mention Nie Dan was there.

In the own barracks, Li Yan came on horseback, You Miao's expression changed, even Li Yan came?

"Come to negotiate a 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 correspond three days ago. I don't know what he means."

Li Yandao: "Go back and talk about it first?"

Nie Dan said: "Let him come to the center of the plain, each with 50 people, if you want to see them, just meet them."

Nie Dan used to be above Li Yan and Ping Xi, and no civil or military man in the Manchu Dynasty dared to disobey him. Now that he opened his mouth, Li Yan had to go back and make arrangements immediately. Are you with General Nie?"

"I ran into it by accident." You Miao replied in a low voice.

Ping Xi: "You guys made a big fuss this time..."

"I killed He Motieer." You Miao whispered, "If the Tatars send people to negotiate, you must stand firm and protect us..."

"I know." Ping Xi said: "A few days ago, everyone has signed a joint letter. Your Majesty will not make things difficult for you. He also wants to march north this year, but he..."

The second round of horns sounded in the distance, and Batu's Wang Qi had come out of the camp. Li Yanlai reported back and forth: "The other party wants to see you by name."

You Miao said: "Then see you."

Taking a quick glance, You Miao saw his own soldiers carrying the general flag of "Zhao". He expected that he had no soldiers here, Nie Dan had already handed over his military power, and Li Zhifeng had no relatives, so he used Zhao Chao's name as his own. I don't care too much.

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 incident just after he came back. He didn't even give him time to think, and went directly to his own team. Nie Dan and Li Zhifeng guarded the rear and led fifty Apocalypse soldiers to the plain.

"Don't get too close later." A man dressed as a school captain rode over and said to You Miao.

You Miao was surprised, it was Zhao Chao!

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Hush—" Zhao Chao moved slightly, and said, "I'm afraid Batu will take you away."

"It doesn't matter if Li Zhifeng and elder brother are here." You Miao whispered to Zhao Chao, the two rode side by side, and whispered a few words, Zhao Chao turned around and saw Nie Dan.

"Brother." Zhao Chao whispered.

Nie Dan nodded slightly, and said no more, Zhao Chao then retreated a little behind You Miao, and You Miao took the lead and came to the middle of the plain.

The wind blows, the yellow sand is chaotic, and behind him is the torrential Yellow River, rushing endlessly.

You Miao looked around, the gray sky was pressing above his head, the mountains and rivers were vast, and solitary birds flew by.Military flags fluttered.

At that moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling. Behind him were three sworn brothers and half of the Southern Dynasty!Life is like this, so what do you want?Suddenly a sense of arrogance arose, and he smiled into the distance: "Batumo!"

Batu came out out of the crowd, stationed in the horse plain, and galloped towards You Miao unhurriedly.

"If we attack now." Zhao Chao whispered to Nie Dan, "Can you bring him back?"

"Impossible." Nie Dan replied in a deep voice: "Even if he is killed now, Tatar will still have a prince who can succeed him. Tatar will not fall apart."

Zhao Chao looked into the distance and just sneered.

When Batu got close, he said, "I led my army to chase you for three days and three nights, but I still couldn't catch you."

You Miao is not without shame in his heart, after all, he lied to Batu, and Batu once regarded him as a friend, but Batu regarded him as a friend, and You Miao also saved his life, so everyone is even.

"I have my position." You Miao said: "There is no way."

For such a matter, You Miao still felt that Batu was too tender and too young. It might be better if Batu didn't chase him out.

"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 taken aback, and Batu smiled and said, "I've always wanted to ask you this question, because that day, when He Motie'er asked someone to put you outside the school grounds of Baishibao, and wanted to cut you into five horses, I stood there. On the tower. I wanted to let you go while He Motie'er was away, but later, Xanadu came."

"At that time..." You Miao couldn't help muttering.

"I was very young at that time." Batu said: "Only 11 years old."

You Miao said: "So you have seen me."

Batu said: "I almost didn't recognize you. I didn't think of you until the night you went to White Wolf Mountain when you mentioned the south."

You Miao smiled sadly and said, "Fate is really a wonderful thing. You chased me thousands of miles, not just to tell me this."

Batu said: "It's not just for this, you promised me to send me a letter to your emperor. Why did you leave before my letter was finished?"

You Miao said: "It's my fault, have you written your letter yet?"

Ba Tuce came up immediately, and You Miao also rode up, and the two riders were close together. At that moment, all the soldiers on both sides became tense, like a taut string.

You Miao's fists were clenched tightly. He knew that he could draw out the dagger at this moment, and with just one dagger, he could wipe Batu's throat.However, he didn't do that, but just took a letter from Batu.

"There will be a period later." Batu said with a smile.

"There will be a period later." You Miao said: "I will definitely forward this letter to His Majesty."

You Miao turned and left, and the two riders with Batu escaped into the vast wind and sand, and each returned to their own camp.
