Chapter 238 Han'er

Dong Jin is a young hunter who lives by the Xiaoqing River.He had a big bow slung across his body, a bag full of arrows on his waist, and a big basket on his back.In the basket sat a little baby with round eyes, holding a few cakes in his arms.

He is fleeing with his family.

Standing at the bottom of a steep slope, Dong Jin squeezed out a smile, and deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "Girl, in half an hour, we will arrive at Changbai Mountain... just ahead is the Tianjing Spring! Work hard, the mountain is safe!"

While standing and speaking, he subconsciously looked back at the way he had come. On the other side of the sparkling river, there were wisps of black smoke lingering.

Thinking of the tragic situation in the village this morning, and thinking of so many dead people, Dong Jin felt pain in his heart, and his smile suddenly disappeared.

Dong Jin looks old, tall and strong, and likes to act like an adult in his words, but he is only 14 years old this year.His child bride-in-law, Yuan Zhen'er, who was four years older than him, followed closely behind her husband with a small bag, and touched Dong Jin's face with some concern.

Dong Jin is a well-known hunter in ten miles and eight towns. He can drive a strong bow, use a knife and gun, and can go into the mountains to hunt tigers and leopards.Because of this skill, the Dong family has accumulated more than ten acres of paddy fields in the local area, and arranged for Dong Jin's child bride-in-law early.

Yuan Zhener's body is delicate and soft, not as strong and hardworking as ordinary peasant women, although she cares about her husband.But at this moment, she had trekked for more than 20 miles on the mountain road, and she was so tired that she was about to collapse. It was only because of the thought of running to a safe place that she managed to pull herself together.

Along the Xiaoqing River, it is an important waterway for sea salt to be transported to Jinan.The people along the way farmed on weekdays. In their spare time, they either worked as water dealers or private salt dealers. Sometimes they robbed salt boats and did some shady things.It is also fine to say that they are people, and it is also fine to say that they are thieves.

When the Mongols came before, some of the people fled into the mountains, and some villages surrendered in time. They paid food, fodder, women and young men to the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army did not particularly embarrass them.

But in the past few days, the Mongolian army suddenly turned their backs.The Khitan general Shi Mobodier who was originally stationed in Zouping area of ​​Zizhou, heard that he had just returned from a defeat, but he mobilized hundreds of troops to burn, kill and loot villages everywhere.

At least five or six villages were caught off guard and captured by Shi Mobo Dier.Both men and women were killed, and all money, food and supplies were robbed.

The residents of the village grew up in troubled times, and everyone had some fighting skills, but it was difficult to defeat the army, so they had to flee one after another.Dong Jin led the rest of the villagers and companions to hurry, and finally rushed to the foot of Changbai Mountain with complex terrain, and escaped from the enemy's pursuit slightly.

Yuan Zhener was about to speak, but Dong Jin frowned.

To the south, he could already hear the sound of spring water. It was the Tianjing Spring, which never dries up through winter, flowing along the Chuandao Valley.But in the north, in the whistling wind, there seems to be something else?

Yuan Zhen'er leaned into Dong Jin's arms worriedly, looked nervously at her husband's expression, and then made a silent gesture to the child sitting in the basket.The child nodded vigorously, pursed his mouth, and closed his eyes.

Dong Jin frowned and listened for a while, that's right, the enemy was yelling loudly!

"The people from Shimobodieer, but they came from the top of Mohu Lake and passed by here." Dong Jin said, "It's a coincidence that there is no time to climb over the slope."

Seeing the horrified expression on his wife's face, Dong Jin comforted him, "Everything is up to me."

The couple took their children and hid behind a boulder beside the mountain road.

Yuan Zhener hugged the child tightly in her arms.Dong Jin thought for a while, untied the quiver from his waist, put it in front of his body, took out five more arrows, and stuck them in the mud in front of him.

Not long after, five cavalrymen appeared on the mountain road.Behind each horse, two or three donkeys were led by ropes.Each donkey has a large and small parcel hanging on it.

It can be seen that the large parcels are filled with grain, while the small parcels are filled with other things. Some parcels are torn, revealing the silk or gold and silver utensils inside.Some of the parcels were filled with bright red blood, and as the donkey marched, the blood was sprinkled on the ground little by little.

There were too many and heavy packages, and it was a mountain road, so the donkeys and horses couldn't walk fast.

A cavalryman carefully controlled the horse and sighed: "Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?"

Another cavalryman muttered and said: "Such a ferocious Prince Tuolei, with so many Mongolian cavalry, would lose... Guo Jiedu of the Dinghai Navy is really powerful, he deserves to be a vicious tiger! Have you heard that? The army that was fighting at that time was not Guo Jiedu's headquarters at all, it was the stragglers that his subordinate Guo Zhongyuan gathered temporarily!"

The others were silent for a while.

The previous cavalry sighed again: "A group of stragglers killed General Zhao and General Jiata, killing more than 3000 of us; then Guo Jiedu's headquarters must be several times more powerful, they can kill thousands of Mongols , It’s only natural to catch the fourth prince and drag the thunder... In short, this Shandong territory can’t stay anymore, so it’s good to be able to leave as soon as possible.”

Someone said: "It's a pity that so many brothers have died, it's a waste of time."

Another person responded angrily: "Yeah, it's a waste of work! I haven't grabbed anything in the past few days!"

Some people persuaded: "It's not bad to grab one before leaving! Think about the Mongols, this time they will suffer a lot. How much they have to give away!"

A soldier snapped his fingers and whispered to the others: "For three thousand horses, a strong horse or foal under ten years old that has never been gelded is fine; three thousand cows are also good; one hundred Boul, who is good at raising horses and livestock; [-] households of blacksmiths, [-] households of other craftsmen; by the way, there are [-] men and women. How many living people are there, a specially determined number!"

"There are iron armor, ordnance, and money and food. Have you heard that the money transported from Jinan in the past two days has to be loaded in carts! There are rattling noises along the way! There are also food, hundreds of thousands Shi! Ding Haijun actually sent a fleet, led by a monk, to Jinan to pick it up!"

"The people who ordered the navy went to Jinan to move food? Isn't this the same as hitting the Mongols in the face? Can the Mongols bear it?"

"The fourth prince Tuo Lei's life is in the hands of Ding Haijun! Do you think they can bear it? That is the fourth prince of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, the most beloved son of Genghis Khan!"

"Hey!" Someone said resentfully: "I was captured alive on the battlefield, and I used so many things to redeem it. It's not easy for the Mongolian army to grab these, right? Now it's all given to the Ding Navy... the Tuo Lei After being redeemed, it's hard to say whether he is still the most beloved son!"

"So we have to grab it quickly... We have to sweep through the villages we haven't been to before. If we don't hurry up and save something, how can the fourth prince explain to the Mongolian soldiers? The Mongolians are different from us, and we are also poor. You deserve it, death is a death in vain... the Mongols have power in their hands, and the fourth prince can't easily offend them!"

A cavalryman suddenly became angry: "What? That's not right, aren't these stolen things our own? According to you, they are going to be given away?"

"Nonsense, Master Mongolia's pockets are all empty, do you still want to gain weight? This is a special order from Naminfu Baihu, asking Marshal Shimo to hurry up and gather some other goods and goods. After the fourth prince escaped, he had these on hand, so he could get richer." Good to appease those Qianhu Nayans!"

The cavalryman shouted in disappointment: "If I don't give it, what can they do! I snatched these, they belong to me!"

"It's okay to hide something secretly. If you really dare not give it... the Mongols are rushing in anger. I guess those nobles will inevitably chop off a few heads to vent their anger. Do you think there are any of your heads in those heads?" ?”

The cavalrymen were not very energetic, but they talked a lot. They talked slowly and disappeared behind the mountain road.

When they passed in front of the rock, Dong Jin kept shrinking and crouched in the dark, with his bow and arrow aimed at the chest of the leading knight.

It wasn't until the knights left that Dong Jin retracted his bow and stood up without saying a word.

Yuan Zhen'er let go of her hands covering the child's mouth, and looked at her husband in a daze.

Dong Jin said: "I'll settle you down first, and then I'll go to Laizhou to visit."

　After a great battle, many famous people died, so I have to add something.

What appeared in the last chapter was Yan Shi.

It was Dong Jin who appeared in this chapter.Historically, Dong Jinhui was recruited by Li Quan next year, first as a personal soldier, then as a family general, who accompanied Li Quan in the northern and southern expeditions, often as a vanguard.After Li Quan's death, he also participated in the election of Yang Miaozhen to be the master of military affairs.

In the next chapter, when Monk Luo goes to Jinan, he will also meet some historical figures.
