Chapter 1233: Who knew the plan would fall into the trap, and a dragnet would come
After hearing this, Zhao Ling became happy.
As for whether his imperial brother would disagree, Zhao Ling wasn't worried at all. At worst, he just ran out with Brother Shen. Could the imperial brother really lock him up for the rest of his life?
"I don't know how Brother Shen is doing now or when he will come back!"
Zhao Ling said in a low voice, "Those Goryeo barbarians are really hateful. They must fight at this time! Otherwise, Brother Shen can stay here with us."
"It shouldn't take long!"
Xiang Ling responded, "Although my husband doesn't bring many soldiers and horses, those people from Song Kai are extremely powerful. They can't even hurt our husband from the Koryo Kingdom! Let's wait here obediently. It won't take long."
My husband has returned."
Zhao Ling smiled and nodded, reaching out to hold Wanyan Yue, "Sister Yue'er, let's go back quickly and continue. When Brother Shen comes back, we will ask him to bring the clothes we knitted for him personally..."...
On the edge of a barren mountain on the south bank of the Yalu River, several figures cautiously walked out of the mountain.
These figures are none other than Takujun Kyō and Minamoto Yoritomo who escaped in the first place.
Originally, Takujun Jing gathered his troops and fled south after returning to the camp, but Minamoto Yoritomo had an extra thought.
Let the main force move forward first, and they fall behind. It would be best if there is no obstruction in front. Once there is an ambush by the Jin people in front, they can quietly break away from the large group of troops and directly enter the barren mountains to escape.
Sure enough, not long after the soldiers and horses in front ran out, news came that there was a Jin cavalry blocking them in front.
Under normal circumstances, the two of them would have organized their troops and fought with these Jin men. After all, their number was only about a thousand.
However, when they thought of the terrifying troops and horses behind them, they lost the courage to fight.
Immediately, the two of them urged the soldiers to come forward to fight, while they themselves took a few followers and ducked into the barren mountains nearby.
Although they entered the barren mountains and were temporarily out of danger, they could not stay here for a long time.
There are many tigers, leopards and wolves in this barren mountain, but there are only a few of them, and they don’t carry any food rations with them! If time passes, I’m afraid they will all be lost in this mountain.
Therefore, while the two of them hid in the mountains, they sent a few personal followers to check the movements around the barren mountains.
After all, the news of their escape could not be hidden from the Jin people, who would definitely search for them.
After two days of exploration, as expected, all the main roads and alleys around the barren mountains where they were located were patrolled by Jin soldiers and horses, except for a few roads to the north. Although there were occasional patrols, they were obviously much less relaxed.
"General Tuo Junjing, could this be the enemy's plan?"
Minamoto Yoritomo looked at the path ahead, his brows furrowed. He always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know whether it was groundless worry or a samurai's intuition.
"Do not worry!"
Tuo Junjing shook his head, "The Jin people's camp is only twenty miles north, and they never thought that we would go to a more dangerous place.
Therefore, the inspection of the northern road may not be intentional but they could not guess that we were not going south but north."
"As long as we cross the river and bypass their camp, we can go directly to Posu Road City, where many Korean people go and do business. By then, it will be easy for us to return to Korea! This time, although the Jin Kingdom
We won, but as long as you and I can return safely, it doesn't matter.
It’s just that we damaged thousands of soldiers and horses. When we return to Kaijing, I can mobilize more soldiers and horses to the imperial court."
"As for you, there is no need to worry. This time, all your troops and horses were damaged, but I remembered your friendship! After I return, I will mention it to the king and personally lead the troops back to Japan with you to help
You take back the power from the Ping clan."
"The Ping clan's rebellion just happened to seize the opportunity. As long as our army goes forward, they will definitely not be our opponent."
Minamoto no Yori nodded, and felt a lot more relaxed.
This time, the only elite warriors he had were lost, but it would be worthwhile if he could get the support of Goryeo.
After waiting for a while, a spy from the front returned quickly.
"Sir, we have already inspected it. No one passed by on the road ahead, and no trace of Jin soldiers and horses was found!"
"good!"
Tuo Junjing nodded happily. He had suffered a lot in this barren mountain for the past two days! If he stayed here any longer, he would really have no courage.
Now he just wants to return to Kaijing safely. By then, he will still be the general of Goryeo and can continue to enjoy his glory and wealth.
"Let's go forward ten miles, then sneak across the river and turn east! If we are fast, we can enter the city early tomorrow morning."
After that, a few people hurried out of the barren mountain and ran towards the less traveled road in front of them.
Although they did not have horses, their speed was not slow. In a short time, they had covered several miles!
"We will soon reach the river ahead!"
Tuo Junjing said, "How to cross the river depends on you!"
Minamoto Yoritomo nodded with a bit of pride, "Don't worry, it's just a small trick. What's difficult for you is easy for us!"
In fact, there was a trestle not far from them that they could pass through. However, just in case, they bypassed the trestle and directly found a narrower place to cross the river.
However, just when they were about to reach the river bank, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared in front of them!
Tuo Junjing and others were shocked. They really didn't expect that they would knock down Jin Bing here.
"You guys, stop them!"
Takujun Jing and Minamoto Yoritomo spoke to the guards beside them without hesitation. After giving the order, they turned around and headed towards the way they came from. However, as soon as they turned around, they saw a figure.
A stalwart and slightly old old general appeared in front of them with an army of soldiers and horses.
"Tsk, tsk, I was really unlucky before and was defeated by such a person!"
Who is this person if he is not He Shi Lie Zhining?
Although there seemed to be no patrols in the north direction, there were countless informants. Tuo Junjing and others had just left the barren mountain, and Heshi Liezhining got the news.
In order to personally see the person who defeated him, he couldn't wait to lead his troops and horses to rush over in person, and successfully blocked the two of them here.
"Come on, take it down for me, I want to live!"
The soldiers and horses around him immediately stepped forward with big nets in their hands. Tuo Junjing and his two men had no way to go to the sky or to the earth!
