Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The journey of the few days before crossing the Baigou River in the south can only be said to be smooth sailing.  Contrary to Xiao Yan's expectation, Guo Rong did not fight with him.  She also really took on the task of leading the escort of the fake delegation returning to the Song Dynasty. She arranged the camping, vigilance, forward scouting, and all kinds of marching affairs in an orderly manner.  With the real responsibility on her shoulders, she no longer looked like the noble lady that Xiao Yan did when he first saw her.  He also walked hard and fought hard, just like Guo Dalang back then.  Every day before it gets dark, you can see her out sentry with a few horses. When everyone is having breakfast, she hurriedly returns with dew.  She had already found out what the road ahead was like, where there were far-reaching sentries from the Liao army, and whether the original route was still inaccessible. After everyone had eaten their dry food, they could form a queue and hit the road.  During the march, Guo Rong always shuttled back and forth between the front and back of the team, taking care of everything.  Occasionally, he would give a few brief orders, and his subordinates would obey them sternly.  It can be seen that this kind of leader outing is not the first time for Guo Rong.  Among Yaoshi Guo's subordinates, she, the eldest lady, also has a very high prestige.  After the team set up camp, Guo Rong was the last one to rest.  After patrolling around and looking around, watching all her men finish eating, the mules and horses running away, and the night sentries being posted everywhere, she hurriedly took a few bites of food.  There was no tent set up at all, just a cowhide blanket lying on the ground and clothes next to the fire. The bow and arrow bags, and two straight knives, one long and one short, were all placed within arm's reach.  If anything happens at night, she can stand up, draw her sword and bow, and resist!  ¡°For such a tough girl, I would never even think of attacking her bed at night.  Guo Rong gave Xiao Yan and the others the best treatment. With so many people, only Xiao Yan had a one-person tent.  But what Guo Rong said to Xiao Yan and the others was just a few words, business was business.  After saying that, turn around and leave without any entanglement.  If we say that in Zhuozhou, around her father and elders, Guo Rong occasionally behaved like a child and behaved willfully.  But when she was leading the troops alone, all these demeanor had completely faded away from her!  One early morning on the way, when the sky was still dark, Xiao Yan suddenly felt urgent to urinate. He stood up and carefully moved away from the little mute who was curled up and sleeping at his feet, and went out of the tent to take a look.  You can see that in the silence, Guo Rong has already stood up. There is a slight morning light in the distance, and she is stretching her body in the direction of that light.  Every turn of her body showed off her slender waist and long legs.  The morning breeze was still gently blowing the soft hair on the back of her girl's neck, and she had already carefully put on two straight knives and a step bow, walked to a high place, and looked around vigilantly.  At that moment, Xiao Yan had only one feeling: this girl belonged to this Yan land.  It belongs to this troubled era of killing and displacement In my own time, there was no such girl with such a unique temperament.  ¡­¡­¡­It¡¯s just too tough.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~ "The Baigou River is ahead! Miss, on the other roads, there are Liao people who are blocking the sentries We want to go there, but we can only pass through the battlefield. Tens of thousands of people died, Yin Qi  It's so heavy that even the sentinels from the far barrier won't go deep The river hasn't risen much, so people and pack boys can get across with a cowhide rope!" Several sentinels from the front came back and pointed.  of drawing the situation on the ground.  Around the simple picture on the ground, Guo Rong, Xiao Yan and the others formed a circle, silently bowing their heads to take a closer look.  The team finally reached the Baigou River at the junction of Song and Liao.  As a boundary river, there is no obstruction around it.  The Liao people's brigade shuttled back and forth here, with tens of thousands of people pressing on the front line of Xiongzhou. Even if they could harvest grass and grain, there was still a lot of stuff to be transported forward and back.  The Liao people's sentry scouts from far away were originally one man and two horses, with super maneuverability. They spread out along the Baigou River who knows how wide it is.  Yelu Dashi is a famous general of the generation. Now the Liao people are holding the enemy camp in front of the enemy camp with their inferior force. Although they have the upper hand, the most feared thing is that they will be cut off from the retreat due to such a natural barrier. Otherwise, everyone will not be able to retreat.  There is no retreat!  If you are not careful, you will be forced into the Baigou River to drink water!  Guo Rong sent out several teams of sentinels, and he personally led a team to explore the road along the river for twenty or thirty miles to see if there were any unguarded places far away, so that he could cross the river at night.  However, you can always see the shadows of the far-reaching sentry detectives. Guo Rong's team almost broke out into a conflict with them. Fortunately, they stopped quickly and these far-reaching sentry detectives did not catch up.  If you can't avoid the sentinels far away, you won't be able to cross the river.  When a team of nearly a hundred people was halfway across the river, as long as these powerful Yuanbazi cavalry could gather dozens of cavalry, they could inflict devastating damage on this small team!  We are not afraid of the dead, but what we are most afraid of is being killed alive among the Liao army. Then Medicine Master Guo will be in trouble!  No one expected that Yelu Dashi would turn out to be exquisite.It¡¯s reached this point!  "It is impossible to take a detour. Who knows how many miles we have to go around."  And Guo Rong can't let Master Guo hang around for too long. Since he has decided to join the Song Dynasty, such a big thing should be settled as early as possible.  If something happens on the front line, Yelu Dashi will have to send his troops as Xiao Yan said. If the Song army goes north early but fails to contact them, then they are really passive to the extreme.  If you want to put forward conditions and have a future status, you must take advantage of the time when the Yelv Stone is still pressing down on Xiongzhou and everyone in the Song army is frightened!  The rough situation on the dirt has been mapped out by the sentinels. The main battlefield of Baigou River occupies a large area.  It stretched four or five miles from east to west. On both sides of the main battlefield, the Liao people set up four or five pontoon bridges. No matter day or night, there were vehicles and horses passing by.  Across the river from here, there are rolling hills, which can hide traces, and the straight line from Xiongzhou is the shortest, only a hundred miles can reach the front of Xiongzhou.  As long as you can cross the river, if you want to risk sneaking across like now, you have to go to the Liao army camp before Xiongzhou.  Guo Rong grabbed a branch, knelt on one knee, looked at the situation map on the ground seriously, and just pondered there.  Xiao Yan was standing behind her. From his angle, he could see the girl's delicate and slender neck.  After several nights of hard work in the field, the exposed skin was already dusty and stained with sweat.  Guo Rong raised her eyebrows and murmured to herself: "I can't get through" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows but said nothing. Yue Fei was calm and didn't speak.  Niu Gao, who was standing behind Yue Fei, raised his eyebrows: "Can't get through? Didn't we come here? We have gone so far, to Zhuozhou where Zhi Niang is!" Guo Rong dropped the branch and gave Niu Gao a cold look:  "You southerners, you have not lost this battle unjustly! How can a team of nearly a hundred people compete with six of you? There are so many pack horses and pack mules. Once they are discovered during the half-crossing, how will they go and how can they avoid it?"  What should I do if a man or horse falls into the hands of Yuan Lanzi? If you don¡¯t think about my father, I will think about it!" Xiao Yan just pondered and said slowly: "Let these pack horses go back first, select the elite, and narrow the target.  How about crossing the river at night and going straight to Xiongzhou?" Yue Fei gave a high-five: "That's the idea!" But Guo Rong still looked at Xiao Yan coldly: "Without wealth, how can you southerners value my father?  It¡¯s love of money, I¡¯ve been told it for a long time" Xiao Yan interrupted Guo Rong decisively: "No matter what, in my heart, the Great Song Dynasty, no wealth can compare with this young lady!  Don¡¯t worry! As long as the master¡¯s record is there, as long as the master¡¯s daughter is here, it will be a priceless treasure to the Song Dynasty!¡± At this time, the only thing he could do was to flatter Yaoshi Guo unreasonably.  Isn't it just to buy two months when I risked my life to kill the Jurchen envoy in Zhuozhou?  If you go back, there will be nothing to talk about.  I have already come this far, how can I back down?  Since he killed the Jurchen messenger with his own hands, Xiao Yan found that he became much more courageous.  If you want to survive in this troubled world, you must treat your life as no longer yours!  Guo Rong listened to Xiao Yan's words with disbelief, then raised her head and thought for a while: "There are about a dozen war horses, and there are almost the same number of dead soldiers who can charge into the battle That's enough  " She paused suddenly and pointed behind her: "The team can go back, but what about her? Do you want her to go back too?" Xiao Yan looked back and saw the little mute emerging from the tent.  When setting up camp and waiting for frontline scouts, he was the only one who had such a treatment.  Except for marching, the little mute stayed in this tent on weekdays, sorting out Xiao Yan's things, and rarely appeared in public.  The closer we get to Baigou River, the harder it is for the little mute to come out.  Sometimes when Xiao Yan was bored and teasing her, she would get distracted.  Now that Guo Rong has ordered the packs to be loaded, the tent will naturally be evacuated.  Only then did the little mute come out.  She was wearing a robe with a fur collar, but her figure still looked so light.  I just kept gesticulating and asking others if they were going to leave soon. ????????????? What the hell, what should I do about the little mute?  Xiao Yan suddenly thought of this problem. For him, it seemed that he was already accustomed to having the little mute by his side and seeing those big bright eyes every time he turned his head.  Only now did he think that he could take this risk - he chose this path anyway, and the little mute couldn't take this risk with him!  He subconsciously looked back, and Wang Gui, the most experienced person in the team, raised his hand: "My equestrian skills are really not that good. I can just follow the march, but charging into the formation will be difficult. Sir, why don't you let me protect the little Sir, your maid, return to Zhuozhou and wait?"  " Wang Gui is indeed the most suitable candidate. He is only in his early twenties. I don't know if life in the countryside was the most difficult at the beginning. He looks like a man in his thirties.  Among them all, Yue Fei is the leader. Needless to say, Wang Gui is the most mature one.  ImportantHe was really worried about Zhang Xian's pretty face Xiao Yan closed his eyes and nodded silently.  "I'm going to tell the little mute Miss Guo, we are eager to return to the south, and so are you! You and I both know that since we have chosen the southbound route, if we miss the opportunity, I am afraid that it will be harmful to everyone.  Your Majesty, it¡¯s an unexpected disaster! Yelu Dashi will withdraw his troops to the north at any time. If we, the Song Dynasty, don¡¯t respond in time, can Sir Guan be able to suppress the two famous generals Yelu Dashi, Xiao Qian and his ministers with one person?¡± Guo Rong sneered:  "It's not a good thing you did! Don't worry, I will protect you and return to the south! The children of Yan are determined to die without hesitation, unlike you southerners! How can dad and I not know the importance of this? The sky is so clear  Hei, let's go separate ways, you better go and convince your little mute first! Only you southerners can do that when you go into battle with a woman!" As she said that, she took a long step.  He walked towards his own tribe, selected the dead men who would accompany him across the river, and explained the matter of return.  Xiao Yan looked at her long, slender legs and strode with elasticity. He wanted to scold her, but he held it back.  You are not a woman yet?  Forget it, I have nothing to argue with a tough girl like you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To persuade the little mute, Xiao Yan can only do this job himself.  Everyone knows that this cute and well-behaved girl is attached to Xiao Yan.  Xiao Yan himself also knew that every night the little mute had to hold one of his legs to fall asleep.  One night, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a surge of passion and wanted to hug this sweet and soft girl and do something he shouldn't do.  But then he gently held her in his arms, but he didn't know what the little mute was dreaming about. He suddenly started to tremble violently in his arms, and tears came out of the corners of his eyes. His small voice made him extremely frightened.  Shouting!  That night, Xiao Yan could only hold her with her eyes open until dawn, looking at a certain part of himself that looked so proud and crying silently.  But he could feel the little mute gradually calming down in his arms, hugging his neck and snorting warm breath into his ears.  ¡°But I feel that the feeling of being relied on wholeheartedly by a little mute is not bad¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­The little mute has nightmares like this almost every night.  Almost every night, he had to hold the little mute and sleep for a while before she could calm down.  But whenever I really woke up, I would always see the little mute kneeling on the bed with a pair of starry eyes, just looking at me quietly.  The eyes are full of attachment.  "When the little mute's parents died, she was alone in a village full of dead people in this troubled time, which gave her a rare warmth.  And I came to this era alone. When I was invisible for thousands of years, why didn't the little mute give me the same warmth? ???????????????????????????????????? Oh, damn, what should I say to the little mute?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Two updates today, above.
