The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 356 The Great Army Near Haikang

Dozens of miles north of Haikang County.

The sky was full of yellow dust, and tens of thousands of troops marched forward.The horse army in front startled countless yellow dust.

Zhao Dongting personally led an army of nearly [-], and now he is finally close to Haikang.

The Qiongzhou Army, Tianxian, Tiankui, Tiangang and other 2000th Army, and the Xinli Tianjie Army of the Beggar Clan with thousands of soldiers and Song Bitao's [-] soldiers make the total number more than [-].In addition, there were more than [-] soldiers from Mengto, and more than [-] soldiers from Tuoheer, Wang Lei, and Yang Fan. More than a thousand.

The army is only a few thousand away from a hundred thousand.

The army spread out with no end in sight.

The cavalry in front opened their mouths, and the infantry followed behind.The Song army and the soldiers were staggered to prevent the soldiers from mutinying.

With this level of military strength, it is entirely possible to ignore the [-] Dali troops.But it is a pity that the soldiers of the Yuan army obviously cannot bear great use at this time.

Although Monto has surrendered to the Song Dynasty, who can be sure that he will not take advantage of the confrontation between Dali and Song Dynasty to turn against him again?
If he can help the Dali army destroy the Song Dynasty, then his previous mistakes can be offset.Undoubtedly, Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, had to reward him heavily.

Ever since, in the Great Song Army, whether it was Zhao Dongting, or Wen Tianxiang and others, they all kept their guard against these soldiers.

The ghost Qin Han is already extremely dreadful. If Mengto turns his back on him again, then they are really likely to capsize in the gutter.

Zhao Dongting has tasted the bitterness of surrendering and defecting twice.

When the army marched, the soldiers were guarded by the Song army with sharp knives at all times, without armor, they only shared the task of escorting the luggage.

Sitting in the dragon chariot, Zhao Dongting still couldn't help turning his head back from time to time, for fear that the soldiers behind him would rebel.

It's just that occasionally when I look back, I will look far to the north, thinking, I don't know if Le Wuhui An Ran will send Le Chan back to Baicao Valley at this time.

Monto galloped at the same pace, following beside the dragon chariot.

In the dragon chariot, apart from Zhao Dongting, there are also Wen Tianxiang, Hong Wutian, and Turandot, the pearl princess of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting did not intend to kill Turandot. After torturing her in Xiujiang Town, Zhao Dongting was actually quite polite to her. He even let her sit in the carriage while the army was marching, and did not let her suffer from the bumps of the war horse.After all, Turandot is still of great use. The agreement between him and Li Wangyuan is entirely based on this Pearl Princess.If Princess Mingzhu died, it would be difficult to say whether Li Wangyuan would raise troops to help Song Kangyuan.

Princess Mingzhu gradually regained her temper, and often couldn't help opening the curtains on the dragon carriage.

But after opening the curtain, she just yelled at Monto who was riding a horse outside, dog slave, cheap slave and so on.

Monto's surrender to the Song Dynasty undoubtedly made her, the princess of the Yuan Dynasty, very angry.

And Monto, often can only blush, unable to say anything.

After all, he still cared about the relationship between master and servant.Otherwise, I am afraid that Princess Mingzhu will be scolded bloody.

If it wasn't for her idea of ​​assassinating Emperor Song, if she didn't succeed in the assassination but was captured by Le Wuzhi, why did Meng Tuo fall into such a situation?
Even, if it wasn't because of her being captured that the Yuan army was wary and delayed the war opportunity, the Great Song Dynasty might have existed in name only, right?
Monto was not angry with Turandot in his heart.It's just that, considering the age, it's not easy to argue with Turandot.

Zhao Dongting was in the chariot, and he felt at ease when he heard Turandot angrily scolding Monto from time to time.

If Monto couldn't help scolding the Pearl Princess back, then he really wanted to pay Monto some attention.

He had no choice but to Jiang Song, but if he still scolded Turandot, it would only show that he didn't have much loyalty in his heart.

Loyalty is the cutest characteristic of people in this era, and it is also what Zhao Dongting cares about the most.If he didn't even have a heart of loyalty, then no matter how many Yuan troops Meng Tuo led to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Dongting would not take him seriously.Because people without loyalty will only be fools on the wall, and it is very likely that they will surrender to the Song Dynasty today and continue to return to the Yuan Dynasty tomorrow.

The sun is gradually moving towards the west, and the sun is no longer so glaring, and it quietly turns yellow.

The army rests every half an hour, and now it is closer to Haikang.The pawns behind finally stopped sweating profusely.

The coolness seemed to gradually spread across the land.

In front of the army, dozens of horses rode back suddenly, and went straight to the side of Zhao Dongting's dragon chariot.

The leader is Yue Peng.

After arriving beside the dragon chariot, Yue Peng shouted into the dragon chariot: "Your Majesty, there is a canyon a few miles ahead, shall we camp here?"

His suggestion to camp here is naturally well-founded.The canyon is often the most suitable place to ambush.

As for the Dali Army, they don't know where they are now.

Zhao Dongting pondered for a few seconds after hearing the words, opened the curtains to look at the sky outside, and said, "Have you sent scouts to investigate?"

It should be some time before dark, but he doesn't want to camp here in the canyon.

What if the Dali army arrived on this day and night, and then ambushed on both sides of the canyon?

At that time, even if they know that the Dali army is in ambush there, it will not be easy to destroy the Dali army or rush through the canyon.

Yue Peng was stunned for a moment, and then realized Zhao Dongting's thoughts, and quickly replied: "The general will send someone to investigate."

He reined in his horse and galloped towards the army again.

The army still moved forward slowly.

Soon, dozens of riders rushed out of the army, and the fast horses headed forward.

Ten minutes later, the army was only two miles away from the canyon.Looking from a distance, you can see two high mountains separated from each other like door gods.

Dozens of scouts also finished exploring the way at this time, and rushed back to the army again at this time.

After Yue Peng hurriedly asked about the situation, he galloped to the side of the dragon chariot again, "Your Majesty, there is no Dali army ambushing on both sides of the canyon."

"It seems that the Dali army should not have arrived, or perhaps, they did not choose to ambush here."

Zhao Dongting's voice came from the dragon chariot, "Order the army to speed up, pass through the canyon before sunset, and set up camp again."

He had already discussed this matter with Wen Tianxiang.Wen Tianxiang also felt that it was better to pass through the canyon earlier to avoid accidents.

Yue Peng galloped forward and shouted: "The emperor has ordered that the army speed up!"

The yellow dust rose again, and Ma Jun took the lead in speeding up his pace.

The pawns at the back began to trot, and the dragon chariot also began to shake.

Zhao Dongting was full of enjoyment, and suddenly said to Turandot: "Little girl, how about I let you go back to Dadu?"

Turandot almost lashed out.

Apart from those closest people, who would dare to call her a little girl?

And Zhao Dongting himself is still so immature.

But thinking of Zhao Dongting tying her to a big pillar in Xiujiang town and not giving her food.She didn't dare to show any face to Zhao Dongting in a daze.

The bitterness of those few days has already made Princess Mingzhu, who is known for being unruly and willful, feel a deep fear of Zhao Dongting.

Who tortured her like that before?

And after the anger flashed in her heart, her eyes shone brightly, "Are you willing to let me go back?"

"No ah."

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "I just asked you, but I didn't say that I really want to let you go back."

Turandot suddenly lost his temper, and leaned against the window again, listless.

This hateful guy actually played tricks on her again.

However, she has lost even the interest in glaring at Zhao Dongting.Or rather, dare not stare anymore.

Who knows what kind of words this guy will use to stimulate her?
These days, although Zhao Dongting didn't torture her again, his words often stimulated her.It made Turandot feel numb.

She couldn't speak against him, couldn't scold him, she just felt that her previous arrogance had been crushed by the Song emperor.

People under the eaves have to bow their heads regardless of reason.Now Princess Pearl finally tasted this helplessness.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Dongting felt bored, "Why didn't you talk? Maybe I will change my mind again?"

Marching is extremely boring, but Zhao Dongting is not a person who can bear loneliness.Therefore, we can only have some fun from Turandot.

But unfortunately, Turandot seemed to make up his mind to ignore him, but he just opened the curtain and scolded Monto as a dog slave to vent his anger.

The army moved slowly across the valley.

The field of vision opened up again.After passing these two mountains, there is a flat grassland in front.

In the barren grassland, the official road stretches into the distance, as if it can directly lead to the place where the sun sets.

The horse army in front of the army has already immediately guarded the surrounding area, ready to set up camp.

When Zhao Dongting's dragon chariot was hundreds of meters away from the canyon, Yue Peng, who was in front of the army, shouted loudly: "The army camps by the river!"

This order was conveyed layer by layer.

The soldiers who had been running around for days and days, as if they had received an amnesty, marched in groups to the river in the yellow grassland not far away.

But no one noticed that there were several people hiding in the grass, and when they saw the Song army arriving, they quickly crouched towards the shadowy side of the mountain range on the right.
