The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Since Yingchun's riding skills were still not proficient enough to control the horse's head and turn freely, and the three Miss Li didn't dare to do it directly when they first arrived, so the four of them strolled until dark without passing the designated place. After waiting for a whole day, not to mention nothing, I had to rush back to the woods with a torch to fight a few wild boars and hares.

The cost of wasting a whole day was that for the next two days, both of them were immersed in hunting, and could no longer think about anything else.But I found out afterwards that even thinking about it was useless. After the successful "strike-up" experience of the three Miss Li on the first day, all the girls who are interested in taking up the noble profession of the princess's sister-in-law are full of energy and start with a variety of tricks Talk to Yingchun.

It's not good for Yingchun to refuse these invitations. Regardless of her current identity, there are many girls here that she has known from the past - when she was the eldest lady of the Ning family, she made quite a few girlfriends, and many of them have treated her since then. The eldest brother has "unreasonable thoughts", and now that people come to her to renew their relationship, how can she be ashamed to overthrow it all at once?Such things as bullying are not something that the shy Yingchun girl can do.

Daiyu also received a lot of harassment, some girls who couldn't squeeze in front of Yingchun flocked to her, and there were many who directly spoke acid words to her.Although Daiyu is unwilling to take offense, but facing so many expensive girls, especially with powerful fathers, grandfathers, uncles, uncles, uncles, elder brothers, etc. standing behind them, Daiyu really doesn't have much confidence Go back.Everyone knows that, as an orphan girl, she was able to obtain the status of the clan only because she was on good terms with Yingchun. Even after all members of the Jia family were sent to prison, many people secretly expressed that if she hadn't made friends with Yingchun early in the morning, Daiyu's life would have been better. He will probably be imprisoned soon, or if he does not go to prison, he will have to live on the street and find a dilapidated temple nunnery to shelter him from the wind and rain. At least, he will not have such a noble and leisurely life today.

Inferiority and arrogance about her background and family background are always entangled in Daiyu, which has been with her for many years and cannot be completely cured. Daiyu, who is unwilling to listen to gossip and has no way to fight back, has to go out for a walk frequently.It just so happened that Yingchun couldn't get away for a while, and Xin Yi could serve her wholeheartedly. From time to time, the two of them walked farther and farther, frequently visiting the border of the two hunting grounds.

On the border, Ning Shan was also riding a horse with Jia She. As the emperor, he could not always be at the forefront. In fact, except for warming up and setting an example on the first day, Ning Shan The one who has been idle and quite boring can only wait to see the harvest.Seeing this, Jia Amnesty took the initiative to invite his eldest son to walk his horse with him, and he took the initiative to take a walk in the small paddock of the female relatives, with the inexplicable idea that the ghost knows what he was thinking.

Although the Supreme Emperor had to bow three times and nine times when he arrived, it was His Majesty the Emperor who everyone really welcomed.In just half a day, Ning Shan has seen more ladies and Xiaojiabiyu with jade faces and red faces than the sum of what she has seen in the past 20 years.However, Yingchun's control was not bad. Everyone was watching, but none of them really rushed to the horse to introduce themselves. They were all trying their best to make the two majesties notice themselves from a distance.

Jia Amnesty originally wanted to take advantage of the time when he was out hunting and the rules were not too strict to find a few more wives for his future grandson, but after a brief look around, all the girls he could see were not as beautiful and charming as Yinghua in the palace.Marrying a wife and a virtuous person, accepting concubines and beauty, but the problem now is that the empress who is the mother of the world is so beautiful, it is really difficult to find someone who is more beautiful than her.There was no other way, so Jia Amnesty had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and find a few similar people who wanted to fool the eldest son into getting along with them—maybe their tempers and temperaments could be compatible with each other.Otherwise, it would be good to choose a few who can handle palace affairs and go back to help.

The three young ladies of the Li family were the first to be targeted by Jia She because they were proficient in horse bows and horses, had obvious characteristics, and were all born with first-class good looks and good figures.However, although Ning Shan had a cordial meeting with them as Jia Amnesty wished, the content always revolved around the life in the border town, the spirit of the soldiers, the assembly of the commander-in-chief, daily drills, etc., and there was no topic of tenderness at all.Jia Amnesty was drowsy after hearing this, but Ning Shan said that this kind of meeting was quite good, and she could learn about the living conditions and mental outlook of the soldiers in the garrison from the side.

Jia Amnesty, who continued to work hard, focused on the girls from the families of the generals who came out from Beijing. As a result, the time taken to be interviewed by His Majesty was not as long as the three ladies of the Li family. After all, it is impossible for a girl who does not follow the army to know anything. A topic that Ning Shan is interested in, and these so-called tiger girls, in fact, they are so soft and weak that they can fall down when the wind blows, and they really can't make Ning Shan look sideways-in terms of weak and slender delicacy, who can compare Where is Lin Daiyu, Princess Kangping?

All the candidates selected by Jia She failed, and he was not familiar with the civil servants' family, so he couldn't make arrangements right away.Depressed, the Supreme Emperor simply called his daughter and niece away: "You two girls have nothing to do! You have nothing to do to go for a walk with me. I didn't see that your emperor brother wanted to interview and question one by one. Don't stand in the way here. In a fit of anger, the Supreme Emperor dumped the two sons in the small paddock, and took away the only two girls who could not be included in the concubine selection—Jia Lian's daughter-in-law was not loved by Jia She, and the most important thing was Having dominated his son for many years but could not give birth to a grandson, taking the opportunity to give his second son two concubines is better than nothing.Anyway, his wonderful plan can't just die halfway!

The Taishanghuang took the eldest princess and the imperial princess on a trip, and the team that followed was so vast that the leader could not be seen at a glance.Such an eye-catching large number of people will naturally attract the attention of the grassland tribes who are trying to find a good opportunity to rob the border towns of the Central Plains.

The hunting ground is less than ten miles away from the border city. A large number of garrisons came out from the border city, and the three floors inside and three floors outside guarded the border. The barbarian horse scouts are also quite capable. Xia still found out that it was not the generals of the border towns who came to hunt this time, but the royal family who came out of Beijing to relax.

Manbu is overjoyed!

If you can capture members of the royal family, it is more useful than how many generals you capture.Think about it, with the emperors of the Central Plains in their hands, they can get what they want, and even force the emperor to abdicate and become self-reliant. It is simply the dream of every generation of tribal leaders. Now a great opportunity is in front of them. It is a rare opportunity in a hundred years. If you miss it, who knows if there will be a next time.

Pitiful to these people of different races, they inquired and inquired, but they did not ask who is the new emperor who changed the dynasty?If someone could kindly tell them that His Majesty the newcomer was the Central Plains "God of War" who threw away their armor and ran away with their heads in their arms, they would definitely consider more carefully how to retreat without a trace.However, they don't know such important strategic information, and the consequences of the tragedy can basically be predicted from now on.

On the afternoon of the third day of the hunt, when everyone was ready to return to the camp with fruitful results and satisfaction, and at the same time exhausted physically and mentally, and began to relax, the grassland tribes suddenly launched a joint attack—the target was directed at the shining The golden tent.

The generals did not relax as a whole. Apart from those who participated in the hunting, there were also a large number of troops stationed in the border towns who were on alert.The tremors of the enemy cavalry rushing out of the camp were reported to Ning Shan immediately, and His Majesty the Emperor sat on a high throne with a gentle smile: "It's just right, let me review the formation of troops again."

General Li, who had succeeded his father and was promoted to the Marshal of the Frontier City Army, sent his two sons and three nephews here to obey His Majesty's dispatch.Ning Shan didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered: "Li Kepu, take your Huben camp and block the carriages transporting luggage in front."

The youngest of the Li family led the way, moving quickly, but in the blink of an eye, large and small carts and carriages were lined up in front of the formation, and they had to be dense and dense, wide and thick.

Ning Shan then ordered: "Li Kezhao, let the archers prepare." The fourth son of the Li family flew away, and [-] archers lined up in response, one row squatting, the other row kneeling, alternately lined up, each covered with quiver Coiled, the strong bow was tightened, the tip of the arrow pointed obliquely at the sky, and waited with bated breath.

Wrapped in a big cloak, Jia She also sat aside with his helmet and armor on, watching and studying humbly: "Shan'er, what are you doing?" Ning Shan was busy setting up the formation and didn't have time to pay attention to him, so she waved her hand to others to answer. .

The second son of the Li family said proudly: "This is the first formation that the general created when he was stationed in the northern border. The barbarians are good at riding and shooting, and they are accustomed to charging with heavy cavalry. Our army is easily dispersed, so the general came up with this method. The chariots and horses blocked their first wave of charge. In order to clear the obstacles, they had to dismount. Once the cavalry dismounted, they were infantry, and the infantry, who were still heavily armored and unable to move, were simply easy targets for archers. So One round of blocking can weaken more than [-]% of the strength of the barbarians without a single soldier."

Taiping Wang Jialian, who was born in the household department, was naturally sensitive to money. Hearing the words, he shouted: "It doesn't cost a single soldier? But the food, grass and supplies blocked can no longer be used!"

Li Keguang, the boss of the Li family, said with a smile: "This is not our business. If there is a need, we have to fight with gold to pave the way. Therefore, fighting is not only about the morale and ability of the soldiers, but also the reserve resources."

Jia Lian began to settle accounts with a sad face, while Jia She was ready to watch the battle with great interest.

The first batch of barbarians who rushed to the front really got off their horses one after another. Originally, they were charging on their backs, but when they were blocked by these things, the war horses couldn't run at all.When Ning Shan delineated the paddock, she noticed that the terrain here had a slope. Although she didn't plan in detail what the slope could do at that time, but now that the location is so favorable, it would be a pity for God's arrangement not to use it.The archers of the Dugu Dynasty spent their time standing on the slope and shooting arrows down. The nomads were not good at fortifications, and the shields they made were not very defensive, and they were not distributed to everyone.The dense rain of arrows shot down, and with a crackling sound, the first few rows were basically cleared.Those who hid behind the shields would inevitably not be hit by the arrows. Although they were not fatal, they were also seriously injured.

If the old King Khan who led the army to attack this time has fought against Ning Shan many times, he should decisively go back when he sees this formation.It's a pity that the old King Khan was crushed by Ning Shan, and he had already given up his position to the young new leader-the inheritance rule of the nomads was the opposite of that of the Central Plains. Instead of the eldest son inheriting the family, the youngest son kept the stove.It is conceivable that the young new Khan has never seen the heroic appearance of their greatest enemy leader, and the spirit of forging ahead is worthy of the enemy's tears of sympathy for him.

After losing nearly [-]% of the soldiers, the barbarian coalition forces basically cleared all the obstacles blocking the road, and then their morale was boosted, and they were preparing to reorganize their formation and meet again.But Ning Shan didn't give them a chance at all. Just as the roadblock had just been cleared, the archers blocking the front parted from the middle, and each retreated to the two sides, revealing the Xiaoqi Battalion behind them who were ready to go.

This time it was the turn of the boss of the Li family to go into battle, the herald waved a small flag, Li Keguang drew his sword in his hand, and rushed down at the head of the horse, closely followed by [-] cavalry.Without the passionate shouts that should have been in Jia She and Jia Lian's barren imagination, the ground was shaken by the trampling of the horses' hoofs, and fifty thousand fast horses swooped down the narrow terrain. As soon as the fight started, it was knocked into the sky, dancing and screaming in the air, and then fell down.If you are lucky, you can fall on the heads of your own people or on the back of your horse. If you are unlucky, you will fall directly on the ground and be trampled by tens of thousands of horses. Of course, some will fall on the enemy's body. .

The first few rows were basically pushed into the sky by the impact force, and the next few rows were brought down by fast horses, and they were simply unnecessary victims trampled under by their own people who rushed up from behind.At this time, everyone who flew into the sky also began to fall down, like throwing stones, and many of our own people fell down.

The young King Khan who held the battle at the end was stunned: "When did the underdogs in the Central Plains become so powerful?" The two armies clashed, and he lost nearly half of his men, while the opponent had only a few accidentally injured. As soon as the fight started, the morale of one's own side dropped.

The two armies fought, and the shouts of killing gradually arose. At first, the phalanx formed by fifty thousand cavalry swooped into the enemy's formation with the momentum of thunder. The small pieces gradually disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

Jia Amnesty looked terrified: "Oh, oh, what should we do now? I'm going to rush up! I'm going to go up!!" His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, who grew up in the warm fragrance of nephrite jade, has never seen such a bloody real scene , It has exhausted his greatest perseverance to be able to sit on the chair without passing out.Especially when Jia Lian, who was weaker than him, stood aside for comparison, Jia Lian, who had a pale face and straight eyes, had already slipped under the chair, but that was good, at least it would not affect the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Ning Shan ignored the two people who were about to faint, and waved out the fourth order: "Li Keming, lead the second team up."

Li Keming rode his horse and rushed to the front of the formation, waved his hands and shouted to the second group of cavalry: "Follow me to charge." Another phalanx of [-] cavalry, brandishing long swords and short spears, swooped down with a hoarse roar.Their joining appropriately injected new strength into the first batch of comrades who had been exhausted, and the Dugu Dynasty's offensive strengthened again.

Wei Ruomei's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and she took the initiative to invite Ying Ying and said, "Your Majesty, let the last general join the battle."

Ning Shan said: "You are the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, do what you should do."

Wei Ruomei was taken aback for a moment: "Please show me, Your Majesty."

Ning Shan said: "Send the Supreme Emperor and the Second Prince back to the city, they will be in the way if they stay here any longer." Jia Amnesty's spirit of insisting on going forward and retreating with the eldest son is commendable, but this behavior is quite disappointing. Hands down.

Wei Ruomei responded, and led a thousand imperial guards to carry Jia She and Jia Lian to the carriage, and quickly retreated to the border town behind them.

Inspired by the guards, the leaders of the Beijing camp also clamored, eager to serve the king.

Ning Shan glanced at Yunhai who was also eager to try, and asked, "How is your training in the Beijing camp?"

Yunhai replied loudly: "I dare not say that it is comparable to the comrades who have been fighting for a long time in the border city, but I will never be held back." The two deputy commanders echoed loudly, eager to join in.

Ning Shan fully encouraged the fighting spirit of his subordinates: "In this case, the two deputy commanders each lead [-] soldiers to protect the two wings of our army and prevent the enemy from making a sneak attack." Winning the Ten Thousand Years Ship, Ning Shan never underestimated the enemy tactically.

The Beijing camp got the order and rushed out like a wolf like a tiger.Yun Hai jumped anxiously: "Your Majesty, what about the general? What does the general do?" Let the deputy commander lead the army to protect the wings, so what does he, the orthodox commander, do?

Ning Shan glanced at him sideways, then turned her head to look at Changge's border city wall, Yingchun and Daiyu had retreated to the city with all the old, young, women and children who could not participate in the battle, and now Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were also sent there.With no scruples, it's time to let go and kill.

Standing up proudly from the dragon chair, Ning Shan said in a deep voice: "The navy special training team arrived at the border town three days ago." Yun Hai heard this, his eyes lit up, the navy special combat team is definitely the strongest individual combat capability in the entire Dynasty He helped Ning Shan to train the team.This group of brothers came, and the barbarians were unlucky.

Sure enough, Ning Shan gave the last order of the day: "Take your men, go straight to the enemy's center, and take down the enemy's commander."
