Although it is close to the mission, it naturally looks like the camp of the Third Prince of Wala is separated by a barrier.
In the middle, there is a large tent tightly guarded by the guards.
"Third Prince, they have imposed martial law!"
"It must be those idiots from Yachaha who exposed their whereabouts!"
Prince Bahamu of Wala frowned and relaxed after a while: "It doesn't matter, even if they find out now, it's already too late.
According to my guess, the people from the Yachaha tribe should arrive today."
"Third Prince, do you think their people can capture the princess of Wei? After all, in the previous plan, we did not expect that when Wei arrived here, there would be so many officers and soldiers to protect her.
As far as I know, the Yachaha are the most arrogant tribe among the Tatars. If they underestimate the enemy, or there are too few people, they cannot capture the princess of Wei in the first time...
If the commotion becomes too big and people from the Great Khan discover it, won't we fail in our efforts?"
Hearing the concern of his subordinates, Bahamu smiled slightly.
"It's just right. This prince is temporarily cooperating with that old bastard Yachaha, just for the sake of my big plan on the grassland!
Father Khan is really old. Because he is afraid of Tatars, he is willing to bow to Wei all the time!
But I am different.
Now the Tatars are plotting against the Wei State and want to unite with us and the small countries in the west to annex the Wei State.
With such a grand plan, even if we cannot help, at least we should not hinder it. After all, compared to the Wei State, we and the Tatars at least belong to the same lineage, and we are both descendants of the Great Mongolia.
There is a saying in their country of Wei, which is: 'Those who are not of my race will have different minds'.
For us, it's the same.
Father Khan has always been attached to the Wei State, but he is just timid and seeking the skin of a tiger.
But what I want to do is different! I want to cooperate with the Tatars, first destroy the power of the Wei State, and then take advantage of the situation when both the Tatars and the Wei State are harmed to unify the grasslands, and then go south to attack the Wei State and recreate the grandeur of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty!
Now the opportunity is right in front of me, and no one can stop me, including my father."
The third prince had a huge ambition for power in his eyes, because only by launching a war that would frighten the people in the royal court could he have the opportunity to gain more military power and defeat his elder brother and the second king in the battle for the throne.
Brother, he finally realized his long-cherished wish to rule the world!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"It's best for the idiots in Yachaha to underestimate the enemy, so they can use these Wei people to weaken their strength.
Anyway, these Wei people have become turtles in the urn, and it is only a matter of time before they are caught. If all the people in Yachaha can be lost in the hands of these Wei people, that would be better. By then we may be able to bypass Yachaha
Ha, it would be more beneficial to me to talk directly to the Tatar person... that way.
As for Father Khan, don't worry, I have blinded their sight and they don't know that the Wei people are here yet. Even if they notice in the end, we can definitely blame the second brother Wang.
Whoever calls the eastern defense line is guarded by his people. If so many Tatars break into our hinterland, even if Father Khan is angry, he will only vent it on him...
Do you know what this is called? In the words of the Wei people, this is like killing many birds with one stone!"
"The third prince is wise. We are willing to follow the third prince to the death and help the third prince to wipe out the Tatars, pacify the Wei Kingdom, and create the Great Mongolia again!"
…
"What's going on outside?"
In Princess Zhaoyang's phoenix tent, the maid obediently brought a stool for Jia Lian to sit down. Jia Lian thanked her and explained the situation.
After Princess Zhaoyang heard this, she asked: "General, do you think something will happen?"
Jia Lian frowned deeply, "Since leaving the customs, in order to ensure the safety of the princess, I have sent out scouts every day to explore forward in a fan shape.
The target is twenty to thirty miles, and the time limit is one and a half hours. There has been no abnormality in the past few days, but today...
In addition, the theory is that the person responsible for the reception in Wala should arrive after we leave the customs. It has been ten days since we left the customs, and there is still no one in the royal court of Wala to greet the princess of the Celestial Dynasty.
Based on this, I feel that for the safety of the princess, it is not appropriate to move forward.
It’s better to wait until the situation becomes clear before making the next step.”
Princess Zhaoyang did not show a worried look on her face, but smiled and said: "With the general guarding me, I am not worried about my safety at all.
It’s rare to see such a look on the general’s face…”
Princess Zhaoyang's smile dropped after meeting Jia Lian's calm eyes, and she immediately changed her words: "General, here you are, but do you have any other plans, or do you need me to cooperate with the general? General, just tell me, Zhaoyang will decide
Full support to the general."
Hearing what Princess Zhaoyang said, Jia Lian finally felt a lot more comforted. After all, his Shangfang sword could suppress the people underneath, but it was useless against Princess Zhaoyang.
If Princess Zhaoyang goes against him, he will be in a bit of a dilemma.
"I do have something to ask the princess for help with."
Jia Lian explained his thoughts to Princess Zhaoyang in detail. After listening, Princess Zhaoyang's indifferent expression finally dissipated, and she was a little puzzled: "Do you doubt the third prince?"
After Princess Zhaoyang finished speaking, she saw Jia Lian's hesitation, and after a moment's thought, she understood why Jia Lian was in trouble.
After all, the third prince Nawala was her future husband and the consort of the Wei Dynasty. Without evidence, Jia Lian was not even qualified to make casual suspicions. What's more, it was in front of her.
Suddenly I felt cold in my heart.
She didn't know whether Jia Lian really didn't know his position in her heart or was pretending not to know.
"minister……"
"General, there is no need to explain. I trust the general's judgment. Later, I will follow your wishes and call him over to test him together."
Jia Lian raised his head and glanced at Princess Zhaoyang. The way Princess Zhaoyang looked at him was full of light. It was trust, unconditional trust, which made him feel extremely heavy in his heart, just like that night at Ganning Pass...
Just as the two of them were talking to each other, there was a huge commotion in the distance outside.
A guard ran quickly to the Feng tent and shouted loudly: "Princess, General Jia's people said that the spies reported and found a large number of Tatar cavalry, which is less than twenty miles away!"
"Wow!"
Jia Lian, who was already wearing armor, immediately stood up and said to Princess Zhaoyang: "I go out and take a look!"
Princess Zhaoyang's expression also became serious. Seeing that Jia Lian had left the Feng tent without waiting for her instructions, she looked around and said seriously: "Come here, change your clothes."
…
For the cavalry, twenty miles is only the time of one meal.
What's more, the distance between the enemy and the enemy was already less than twenty miles from when the scouts discovered it to when the news was sent back.
Therefore, Jia Lian and others had no time to make any further arrangements. They were startled by the rumble of horse hooves and had to get up and go to the highest point of the river beach to observe the situation.
Four or five miles away, dark enemies lined up in a row appeared.
They were all cavalry, high-spirited horses and armored soldiers arrayed on horseback. The coercion and murderous aura exuded by the crowd made the maids, eunuchs and others who saw it from a distance and had never been on the battlefield shudder.
They immediately looked at the Wei soldiers who were also arrayed outside, and found that their number was obviously greater than the other's, and they felt a little relieved.
A commander of the Beijing camp said: "Your Majesty, we haven't had time to build the fortifications yet, and we don't have enough defensive equipment. We are afraid that we will suffer a loss when facing the Tatar cavalry!"
As soon as these words came out, the civil servants in the mission suddenly became frightened.
They had all heard about the power of the prairie cavalry, and had no idea how to deal with the cavalry. When they heard that they might not be able to defeat the cavalry, they immediately started panicking and shouting.
Xiang He said: "The number of enemies is unknown. For the safety of the princess, why don't we go forward and ask the other party's purpose of coming. If we can discuss it..."
"The enemies have come to the door, and they are still talking about a hammer!
You guys without eggs, are you so scared?
I have seen much bigger scenes than this, with more Tatar cavalry, and I don’t know how many of them cut off horses with my own hands!
Besides, it’s not much, there are only a thousand people at most, let me, Old Zhu, lead the people and kill them all.”
Zhu Dahe first despised all the civil servants, and then as if Jia Lian acquiesced, he called his guards to go into battle to meet the enemy.
Jia Lian originally wanted to stop him. Xiang He was right. The enemy's situation was unknown, and if he dared to rush in front of him in such an encirclement, he must have someone to rely on.
But then I thought about it. Although the men and horses he brought out from Beijing were all strong and strong, it was hard to say how much combat effectiveness they could show when facing the ferocious Tatar cavalry. Let Zhu Dahe first demonstrate how to fight against the prairie cavalry.
, it would be good to give them some confidence.
By the way, let's also test the enemy's strength.
However, the enemy seemed unwilling to give Jia Lian a chance to test.
After a short pause, the Tatar cavalry started from the middle and rushed over in a herringbone formation!
When Jia Lian saw this, his brows furrowed even more deeply.
He had dealt with cavalry before, and the other party's charge-style attack obviously left no way out!
It seems that he is really here for Princess Zhaoyang.
This is not difficult to guess. The Tatars penetrated deep into the hinterland of Oara and appeared here again. This is the only possibility.
Without any time to hesitate, Jia Lian drew his sword and shouted: "Commander Jiang and Commander Qiu, I order your cavalry to form two wings to assist General Zhu in killing the enemy!"
Commander Qian, lead all the soldiers and horses under your command to guard the beach. Do not allow the enemy to get even half a step closer to Princess Feng's tent! No one is allowed to leave without the general's orders!
Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
As Zhu Dahe was a brave and capable general, Jia Lian did not mobilize or intervene in his troops at such an emergency.
In fact, his arrangement was as if he was using people from the Beijing camp to assist him.
So Zhu Dahe, who had just mounted his horse, turned around and glanced at Jia Lian. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian had no intention of competing with him for credit!
"Thank you very much for trusting me, Lao Zhu, the imperial envoy. Just take a look!"
As he spoke, he had already charged forward on his horse. Behind him, the soldiers under his command were like arms, following him like a shadow. Accompanied by the thunderous shouts of killing, the momentum that exploded in one moment was even greater than the opponent's thousands of cavalry.
Be enough!
Jia Lian narrowed his eyes and saw that Wu Shiwei had indeed not lied to him and had indeed given him the most elite troops.
If this is the case, there should be no problem in dealing with the enemies in front of us.
only……
Jia Lian's face did not show the slightest trace of relaxation.
The imperial court had made perfect arrangements for this trip, but unexpectedly something happened.
Why can these Tatars appear here so suddenly?
This place is at least five hundred miles away from the effective sphere of influence of the Tatars!
If the Tatars sent so many cavalry, it would be impossible for Wala to get no information. But he did not receive any reminder from Wala.
No one contacted the King of Wala, and Jia Lian's mood suddenly became extremely solemn.
Could it be that the Oara and the Tatars have secretly formed an alliance, and this alliance and marriage with the Wei Dynasty is just a cover and a delaying tactic?
