The next day, after getting permission from the King of Yu, the Red Lady set foot on the road to the audience through thick frost with only a pair of personal guards.
As the mist began to dissipate and the chill began to rise, the Red Lady turned around and ordered: "King Yu is from a royal family after all. Unlike King Chuang, he attaches great importance to rules. You must obey everything."
"Yes!" Dozens of female guards agreed without hesitation. The tiger girl had the loudest voice and the greatest shaking.
A checkpoint has been set up thirty miles outside the city, and a large number of cavalry are constantly patrolling, exploring, and looking for suspicious persons.
The Red Lady was not afraid at all. She had no hostility in the first place and looked around openly, wanting to know what Prince Yu's strength was.
Did he really defeat a tiger named Li Guo and Zhang Xianzhong?
However, as expected, the rules were very strict, and more than three people checked their waist badges along the way.
The battalions on the road are stationed not far apart. Once something is discovered, they can support each other in a blink of an eye.
"General, the armor in King Yu's army is really quite high."
The tiger girl rode side by side, turned her head and whispered: "I'm afraid it's about 40 to 50%. Among intruders, this is only a treatment in the old camp."
"Not bad!" The red lady nodded and looked at it carefully with her beautiful eyes: "It's just that this armor is a bit strange. It's too thin and stiff."
"However, even if it is just a piece of iron, it will provide great protection to the soldiers."
The forging of armor not only requires a large number of craftsmen, but also an extremely large amount of iron. In this troubled world, the value of iron is comparable to food.
This is also what Chuangying lacks. A large number of its armors come from captured Ming troops, so that the robes of the two are almost identical.
After spending half a day, the group arrived at Xiangcheng, a steep city leaning on Funiu Mountain.
At the gate of the city, a large amount of supplies were pouring in, and there were so many mules and horses that there was no time to clean up the excrement accumulated on the road.
However, it is mixed but not chaotic, and the few people who come and go freely and live and work in peace and contentment give people a feeling of chaos.
"General Hong Ginseng?" At the gate of the city, the guard looking at the badge said softly: "His Royal Highness is at the county government office. You can go there on your own."
"As for the personal guards, they need to confiscate their weapons and wait outside the city. Don't worry, the corresponding wine shops have been prepared."
As he said that, the red lady followed his instructions and saw that there was a large wooden shed set up under the city wall not far away, where many people dressed as soldiers were eating and drinking.
"Go!" the red lady ordered softly, and then swaggered into the city.
Tigress could only nod, and the slightly swollen part shook, leaving the guard stunned.
"Have you never seen a woman?" Tigress snorted coldly.
Entering the city, what you can see is that there is a sentry every three steps, a post every five steps, and patrolling soldiers everywhere. It can be said that it is airtight.
The pressure in her heart gradually increased, so she bit the bullet and came to the county government office.
"Are you the red lady?"
We entered smoothly and met His Highness Prince Yu.
The King of Yu is well-dressed, has a majestic appearance, his eyes are like stars, his nose is as straight as a distant mountain, his lips are slightly thick, and he looks somewhat heroic.
A short beard on the chin makes him look handsome and handsome.
"Why is a general so handsome?"
It's a pity that the red lady doesn't care much about this and is even a little disappointed.
Compared with the imaginary strong general with big arms, round waist and beard, King Yu is really far different.
"Red Lady is your real name?"
King Yu looked at the female general inquiringly, and couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.
I saw that she was wearing a suit of armor and a red cloak, and she was walking fast and furiously.
He has red phoenix eyes, a straight nose, thin lips slightly pursed, and a faint hint of fierceness between his brows and eyes, giving him a shrewd and capable look.
His temperament is similar to that of Qin Liangyu, but he is more fierce. He has no rouge and his skin is wheat-colored, like an unruly rouged horse.
"The appearance can only be considered average!"
Zhu Yixi thought in her mind that besides Qin Liangyu, she was the only woman with such a masculine temperament.
"The last general's maiden name is Zhao. She was born as a sideshow, loves the color red, and travels all over the country, so she is called the Red Lady."
The red lady lowered her head and responded.
"Mr. Li Zhao?" Zhu Yixi murmured: "Forget it, let's call you Red Lady!"
Glancing at her resolute face, Zhu Yixi said businesslikely:
"You are Li Yan's wife, and you have a bloody feud with Li Zicheng. This time, you are going to Henan from Gubei to not only beat Li Zicheng, but also the slaves."
"Your subordinates must obey orders and will not tolerate any wanton behavior. Otherwise, do you understand that you will engage in military law?"
"As long as the general takes revenge, he should obey military laws and orders."
The red lady raised her head and solemnly promised: "As long as I can get revenge, I will be broken into pieces, no matter what."
"Go down!" Zhu Yixi nodded, waved his hand, and said: "I will have enough food and supplies for you. You will not be short of it. Do your best. I look forward to a female general soldier."
"Yes!" The red lady relaxed a little, then turned and left.
Looking at her waist and round buttocks, Zhu Yixi shook her head and held back her thoughts.
At this time, it is not advisable to grow extraneous branches.
As the red lady walked out, she always felt a burning sensation on her back, which made her feel strange.
…
At this time, Luoyang City was also under military control.
Liu Zongmin sat down boldly, eating a large piece of mutton in his mouth, and his face was covered with oil stains.
Two rows of generals sat cross-legged, drinking strong wine and eating meat and wine, feeling very happy.
After a long time, it seemed that he was done eating. Then Liu Zongmin glanced at him and said in a deep voice:
"Brothers, the battle at Shanhaiguan was really aggrieved. Wu Sangui was unethical, communicated with outsiders, betrayed His Majesty and us, and caused a great defeat."
"Now, my foot injury has healed, and the army has been almost integrated. Your Majesty went to northern Shaanxi to fight Azige and Wu Sangui. We are here to deal with Duduo who went south."
After Liu Zongmin talked, he felt a little thirsty. He took a sip of wine and continued: "In Henan, this is our territory. We must severely dampen his spirit and take revenge."
"revenge!!!"
When this was mentioned, the generals were filled with anger. They were chased and blocked along the way, and half of the gold and silver they received from Beijing was lost. It was so irritating.
However, he still felt a little guilty as he spoke.
The Manchu and Qing Dynasties were so powerful that I felt a shadow in my heart.
"How should we fight?" Li Laiheng couldn't help but ask: "We have 100,000 people in our hands, and we can't defeat them without cavalry."
Liu Zongmin heard this and said in a deep voice: "We brothers are not afraid of fighting in the field, but we are at a disadvantage with the cavalry, but we still have to fight hard."
"The emperor's intention is to gradually reduce the spirit of establishing slaves starting from Luoyang."
Liu Fangliang couldn't help but said: "We also have soldiers and horses in Huaiqing Mansion. The slaves must attack Huaiqing Mansion before they can cross the Yellow River and move south."
"There are 20,000 people in Huaiqing Mansion, it's not that easy to break!"
