Suddenly, Hu Ji Ya felt despair and fell to the ground. The eunuch immediately helped him up and shouted: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
As he was shouting, Bai Mingjing, who was half-dressed, ran over. Seeing this scene, he was stunned and said to the eunuch: "Your Majesty, what is going on?"
"My servant didn't know it, but His Majesty fell to the ground the moment the shout of death rang out," the eunuch said.
"Never mind. There were suddenly enemies attacking the camp in the east, with about a hundred people. Normally we might not be our opponents, but today most people only woke up when they heard the shouts of the sentries, so they are absolutely no match for them."
"Hurry up and retreat from the south with His Majesty on your back. I will lead the soldiers to resist for a while and then catch up." Bai Mingjing said.
When the eunuch agreed, he would carry Hu Jiya on his back and run away. He was strong and strong, and he could walk quickly in the mountains and forests even if he was carrying Hu Jiya on his back.
But at this moment Hu Jisao suddenly said: "Slow down."
"What is your Majesty's decree?" Bai Mingjing asked immediately.
"Let the soldiers put down their weapons and stop resisting," Hu Jisao said.
"Well, Your Majesty, why is this so?" Bai Mingjing stood there stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He asked loudly, regardless of his superiority or inferiority.
"This is God's will." Hu Jiya explained vaguely, and then said: "Send someone to tell the incoming Ailao people that the Emperor of Dayu is here. If you deliver me to the hands of the Ming people, you can get gold. Thousand taels; these Dayu generals are also wanted persons by name in the Ming Dynasty. If they are delivered to the people of the Ming Dynasty, they will be rewarded with silver, so that they will not do any harm."
After hearing this, Bai Mingjing looked back at the Ailao people who were coming to kill him, and then at Hu Ji Yao, who was sitting on the ground with a peaceful expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "You Hu family If I don’t want my country anymore, what do I care about!”
Then he turned around and shouted to all the soldiers: "Your Majesty's decree, lay down your arms and surrender!"
The soldiers who heard this were stunned for a moment, and some of them who were not fighting with the Ailao people put down their weapons and knelt on the ground; those who were fighting with them could not put down their weapons and continued to fight with the Ailao people, but they were quickly killed. Kill them all.
Bai Mingjing took a breath, threw the knife on his waist and the long bow on his back to the ground, took out a dagger and placed it gently on a bamboo basket, raised his hands and walked to the person who looked like the leader. , using the language of the Ailao people, he said: "I, Bai Mingjing, the commander of the Imperial Guards of the Dayu Kingdom, have met the general of the Ailao Kingdom. My Majesty, the Supreme Emperor of the Dayu Kingdom, is here. If you deliver him to the hands of the people of the Ming Dynasty, what will happen?" I have obtained a thousand taels of gold, so I ask the general not to harm him; all the officers and men are also wanted persons in the Ming Dynasty. If you deliver them to the people of the Ming Dynasty, you will be rewarded with silver, and the general please be careful to deal with them." Then he used again. Yue repeated it.
The leader showed a puzzled look and opened his mouth to say something.
Bai Mingjing was stunned again. He didn't hear clearly what the man said, but it wasn't important. What was important was that the man actually spoke Chinese!
Seeing Bai Mingjing stunned on the spot, the man said again with some confusion: "Why, you don't understand Chinese either?" Then the man seemed to have thought of something, and took out a piece of moon-white cloth from his waist. A piece of charcoal. What was written on it was shown to Bai Mingjing. What was written on it was Chinese characters: "Can you write Chinese characters?"
…
…
Hu Ji-yao sat on the bed with his hands clasped, muttering something to himself with his eyes closed. If you listen closely, you can hear: "Rule the country with justice, use troops with magic, and conquer the world with nothing. How do I know this?" From this: There are many taboos in the world, but the people are poor; there are many sharp weapons among the people, and the country is in a state of coma; there are many people with clever tricks, and strange things are everywhere; there are many dharma things, and there are many thieves. Therefore, the sage said: I do nothing and the people become themselves. If I love tranquility, the people will be upright; if I have nothing to do, the people will be rich; if I have no desires, the people will be simple; if I am ruthless, the people will be pure..." He was reciting the Tao Te Ching impressively.
As he was chanting, he suddenly heard a voice coming from in front of him: "Your Majesty."
Hu Jiya opened his eyes and saw Bai Mingjing standing in front of him, and said, "Ailao people are willing to deliver me to the people of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty, they are not from Ailao, they are from Ming Dynasty." Bai Mingjing said.
"People from the Ming Dynasty?" Even though Hu Jisao's heart had calmed down, he was also slightly confused: "How come the people from the Ming Dynasty appeared here?"
Before he could say these words, he saw a man wearing tattered clothes walking over. He looked at himself and the eunuch beside him, and then said to him: "I am Luo Shenzhen, the commander of the Ming Dynasty Elephant Guard. I have met His Royal Highness Lord Annan."
"I've seen Commander Luo." Hu Jisao stood up and returned the courtesy.
"Your Highness, our army does not have any sedan chairs or carriages, so we can only treat Your Highness. In order to prevent Your Highness from escaping, we will tie His Highness up, tie a stretcher with branches, and put His Highness on the stretcher and carry it to Yi'an. If His Highness is Someone among my subordinates knows the route that is closer to Yi'an and does not pass through the city that is not occupied by our Ming Dynasty. Please let him tell me."
"Please, Your Highness, please don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. In a critical moment, I will definitely kill Your Highness first." Luo Shenzhen said very calmly.
"I know." Hu Jisao nodded, and then changed the topic: "But I am a little curious, dare to ask Commander Luo how he came here?"
…
…
After Luo Shenzhen lost consciousness that day, he followed the command of General Annan and stabbed all the corpses present to prevent anyone pretending to be dead. But at that time, Hu Hancang was eager to return to the city and it was already dark, so he ordered the soldiers They quickly threw the corpses in one place and lit a fire to burn them all.
But not long after the fire was lit, it started to rain heavily, so Hu Hancang ordered all the soldiers to return to camp and burn the corpses again tomorrow.
In the middle of the night, Luo Shenzhen woke up and found himself among a pile of corpses. Enduring the severe pain from his wounds, he limped out from the corpses everywhere and hid in the nearby forest.
The reason why he wanted to hide in the forest was firstly for safety, and secondly to heal his injuries. He had many wounds on his body, and many arrowheads were still in his body. He urgently needed to find medicinal materials that could heal the wounds, and at the same time, he was looking for a quiet place. It would be best to find a doctor from Annan to take out the arrow for him. As for the danger in the process, he can only treat it as if it is gone.
What he didn't expect was that in the jungle, he encountered Gaoshan soldiers from Taiwan.
It turned out that the barbarian soldiers that General Annan was talking about at that time were the high mountain soldiers. The leader of the high mountain soldiers, Dal Rudo, felt that the battle was not easy to fight because of some reason the day before the landing, so he always kept an eye on it during the battle. After seeing that the army had fallen into a trap, he made a prompt decision and led more than 300 of them to escape into the mountains and forests. After a fight with the Annan soldiers, he led nearly a centaur to escape.
Darudo did not dare to come to the beach easily, so he wandered in the jungle of Annan, picking wild fruits and hunting for a living, planning to wait until he learned that the Ming army had landed again before coming out of the jungle. Fortunately, the latitudes of Annan and Taiwan are close,
The animals and plants in the jungle are not far apart and they can still survive.
Occasionally, he would meet Annan people or soldiers who came to hunt in the jungle. He would capture such people. If they couldn't speak Chinese, they would kill them immediately; if they could speak Chinese, he would inquire about them before killing them. Because
There were many venomous snakes and beasts in the jungle, and no one could have imagined that there were many Ming troops among them, and no one came to search for them.
On this day, Darrudo wandered close to the place where the battle was fought that day, and saw Luo Shenzhen, who was also hiding in the jungle. Darrudo wanted to kill him directly, but suddenly found that the shoes he was wearing were Ming Dynasty shoes.
He had the appearance of a general in the Ming army, so he captured him and asked about his origins. Dalludo felt that rescuing a general of the Ming army should be a credit and could be rewarded, so he kept him and captured a
Dr. Annan, who went into the mountains to collect herbs, treated his injuries and took out the arrowheads.
But then, for some reason, the Annan people suddenly searched the mountains and forests again, so they had no choice but to move west. Because they were not very familiar with this place after all, they gradually left Nga An and came to Ha Tinh.
They were spending the night in a nearby cave last night, but the people who came back from picking wild vegetables told Darudo and Luoshen Town that they saw people who were also picking wild vegetables in the jungle.
Darludao thought they were Annan soldiers who were searching in the mountains, and was about to withdraw at that time; Luo Shenzhen inquired carefully and felt that they didn't look like them, so he took a few people and sneaked over to have a look, and followed them to the camp to confirm that they were
They should be Annamites who escaped after losing a fight.
Luo Shenzhen felt that they should know the current situation of the war, so he decided to lead troops to raid them early tomorrow morning and capture a few of them alive. Dalludo agreed because he learned that there were only eighty people.
…
…
When facing Hu Ji Yao, of course he would not explain it in such detail. He just gave a rough outline, but it also surprised Hu Ji Yao and Bai Mingjing who heard this.
Hu Ji Yao couldn't help showing emotion and said: "It's such a coincidence that this is God's will." Looking at Bai Mingjing's face, he also agreed with Hu Ji Yao's words. If it wasn't God's will, how could it be such a coincidence?
?
"Since you don't know the current war situation, why did you take us to Yi'an City?" Hu Jisao asked again.
"You fled here in embarrassment. You probably escaped from Yi'an City, so I thought that Yi'an City had been captured and wanted to lead you there." Luo Shen said.
"Now Yi'an has indeed been captured by He Rong, but I did not escape from Yi'an City. Regardless of saying this, I would like to ask Commander Luo to escort me to Yi'an City and hand me over to General He. These are my generals of Dayu.
Please also ask your Excellency to send them there." Hu Jiya said.
But at this moment, screams suddenly sounded from all directions. Hu Jiyou turned his head and saw that Darrudo was leading people to massacre the Annan soldiers present; Luo Shenzhen's words also rang in his ears: "
Your Highness, if so many people make a noise on the way, we will have to work hard to suppress them, so we should let them bury them here."
Hu Jisao closed his eyes and said after a while: "That's all, they will be buried sooner or later, it doesn't make much difference. But I also ask Commander Luo to bury them and then send me to Yi'an City."
