Chapter 496: The Battle of Xu Hong (1)
Although Tolando was deep in the palace before, he had heard some ridiculous things from others to the point of being abusive. This kind of abuse of his wife is very common, especially in those women who are married under the golden branch.
Zhao Dongting was shy and angry at Tolando, but he was just spreading his hands innocently, "What I said is the truth, it's useless to be angry."
"snort!"
Princess Mingzhu snorted coldly, "I don't believe in Dali and dare to go against the will of Grandpa."
Zhao Dongting chuckled, too lazy to say anything more.
Before, he was not sure whether Dali had the intention to rebel against the Dayuan and restore the country, but now he is very sure.
The Yuan Dynasty did not even make a hot air balloon, but Dali was made. If they hadn't had ulterior motives, how could they have been so active in learning the technology of the Song Dynasty so much?
Even with the idea of helping the Yuan Dynasty destroy Song, we should present the method of making hot air balloons to the Yuan Dynasty, right?
Zhao Dongting knew that the world would be more complicated in the future than before. Dali, Shu, Yuan Dynasty, and the Western Xia, which is likely to be independent from the Yuan Dynasty.
But these words, he naturally had no need to say to Turando.
"If you believe it or not, you can't escape anyway."
After Qingpiaopiao said this, Zhao Dongting's eyes fell on the books again. This made Tulando roll his eyes.
This person was very confident just now, but he refused to even say a reason. What is this?
But she did not realize that after saying these few words to Zhao Dongting, although she felt resentful towards Zhao Dongting, her original worries and sorrow disappeared.
When a person is in a very depressed mood, it is impossible to make pretty moves like rolling his eyes.
As the night became darker, the smell of fennel floated again in the air. However, the scent and bloody smell entangled, making people feel so strange.
This is by no means a good smell.
Zhao Dongting endured a little discomfort in the dragon chariot and barely finished the meal. But Tulando, who had never seen such a scene, looked pale when he just opened the curtains. How could he eat?
There are completely different scenes when the army fights and after the fight.
When fighting, the scene is often chaotic, and it is difficult for people to pay attention to the corpses on the ground in the sword light and shadow. But after fighting, there are corpses lying on the ground, so how can it not be terrifying?
Because people are born with fear of death, they usually feel palpitations when they see corpses, let alone corpses all over the ground.
The night wind whistled, as if it was still accompanied by the sorrow and cry of the dead.
Tulando hugged pitifully in the innermost corner of the dragon chariot. Even if there were oil lamps inside the chariot, the dim light of the oil lamp could not dispel her fear of the outside.
Just thinking about the darkness outside now and the countless corpses were still there, she couldn't help but tremble all over.
But what she probably didn't expect was that now in the wilderness outside the dragon chariot, it was not as quiet and terrifying as she imagined.
There were countless corpses lying on the ground, but among the pile of corpses, there was a bonfire burning like a star fire. The soldiers watching the night watch were drinking, bragging, and talking about the ladies in the brothel.
They used this method to drive away the fear in their hearts, and at the same time they also brought a little bit of anger to this wild grassland.
The next day it was dawn.
The soldiers of the Song army continued to clean up the battlefield, and some people began to clean up their tents and prepared to rush back to Haikang.
Before they lined up, Mrs. Xu, Su Liuyi and others had already led tens of thousands of She people to arrive.
The flags fluttered in the wind, and more than 10,000 She people riding horses in front and behind were tens of thousands of She people with different clothes. Their clothes were still very different from Hanfu.
Mrs. Xu, Su Liuyi and others sat on the horse's back and walked at the forefront of the army, just letting the war horse walk freely without whipping the whip.
This is a normal marching. When a large army advances, it is impossible for the horse army to get away from the infantry behind. Most of the time, the horse army is even more staggered in the infantry.
It was not until he saw the crowds of Song soldiers in front that Su Liuyi couldn't help but wave the whip and urged the horse to go forward.
Seeing the Song army flag clearly, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
However, this smile gradually solidified as he got closer and closer to the place where the army ahead was.
Of course he could feel something was wrong.
There is a smell of blood in the air!
There is still blood on the ground!
There are broken flags, weapons, dead horses everywhere. Moreover, there are many pits that are bombarded by thunder.
Have you fought with the Dali Army?
The whole night passed, but it was unable to dispel the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield.
"Emperor! Emperor!"
Su Liuyi whipped the horse's butt with a few whips and rushed towards the army ahead in panic. As for the sincerity and acting on his face, it is unknown.
Anyway, in this era, no minister would not do anything.
No soldier dared to stop Su Liuyi, who was wearing fine armor and holding command arrows. Not long after, he arrived in front of the dragon chariot.
When Zhao Dongting heard his shout, he walked out of the dragon chariot and chuckled, "Deputy Su's military order is here."
Su Liuyi was crying and turned over and got off the horse and knelt in front of Zhao Dongting, "Emperor, I want to kill you... It's good that you are fine, God bless me..."
Zhao Dongting: “…”
After a while, Mrs. Xu brought several respected elders from the She people's branches to Zhao Dongting's dragon chariot by soldiers.
The She people are a minority, and the tribes are led by elders. Although they obey the king, they still follow the orders of the elders in the tribe.
In other words, the She people usually listen to the court, but the premise is that the elders in the clan do not take the lead in causing trouble.
As for the current She people's power in the south, Mrs. Xu and these elders, Zhao Dongting will certainly not neglect. What's more, Mrs. Xu himself is also the thirteenth best-seller in Bai Xiaosheng's ranking.
Seeing several old men wearing robes walking towards the dragon chariot, Zhao Dongting asked Su Liuyi, "Mr. Su, is this Mrs. Xu and all the She people elders?"
Su Liuyi nodded, "The emperor is indeed very keen."
“…”
Zhao Dongting didn't know how to deal with Su Liuyi's flattery, so he pretended not to hear it and greeted Mrs. Xu and the She people elders.
When he approached, Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu, elders, I have worked hard. I thanked me here."
Although he did not salute, as the emperor, being able to come forward to greet him in person and even speak hello first is a rare honor.
How many people in the world can be treated like this by the emperor?
Even Mrs. Xu showed a little surprise on her face, and the other elders were so excited that their faces turned red.
