My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 552 The beginning of the intertwined story

One day has passed since the siege.

The smell of blood still lingers at the top of the city, and the chilling atmosphere has long since dissipated. On the city wall, the female soldiers of the Yelan Kingdom are supporting and bandaging each other. The people recruited in the city are walking among the corpses, searching for foreign barbarians, Ugoli, and Jukan. The injured soldier of the country was attacked, and then he stepped forward to give the opponent a finishing blow and kill him.

The female soldiers of Yelan Kingdom are no worse than men in this regard.

Xia's reinforcements were in the Gobi outside the city and fought two battles with the barbarians until the barbarians withdrew their troops. During their breather, they found an opportunity to regain control of the city.

Even though a day has passed, the city is still noisy, and the encouragement of victory is passed on to each other among the female soldiers. Occasionally, there are horses galloping on the Gobi outside the city. They are the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom.

At this moment, the female soldiers of the Yelan Kingdom were completely relaxed. They looked at the Xia Kingdom's cavalry roaring outside the city and paid attention to them, watching them coming and going on the Gobi.

The foreign barbarians have not yet left, and the defense of the city wall does not dare to be taken lightly.

Bainani stood behind the wall. Her armor was still the same as Ruori's. Although it had been cleaned, there were still blood stains in many places that were difficult to erase.

She looked at the dust rising from the Gobi desert and the Xia cavalry running past.

After entering the royal palace, Queen Itas stood up from the throne, dragged her long tulle skirt and slowly walked down the carpet-covered royal steps, welcoming her beloved concubine and commander of the guards, Bainani, who came in.

Thinking that the opponent's general was about to enter the city this afternoon, he turned around and took the few remaining soldiers down to the top of the city, mounted his war horse and returned to the palace.

As the king of a country, she had to take everything into consideration, so she was naturally worried that the Xia cavalry reinforcements would have other thoughts.

By this time, the other party should already be on the way.

"Everything is as usual, except that many soldiers have been injured or killed this month, and everyone is in a bad mood. I have sent people to comfort them in the city."

After all, the Xia Kingdom swept through the six countries and annihilated hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates overseas. It had to be dealt with carefully. The opponent came from a world where men were respected, which was completely different from the Yelan Kingdom. It was hard to say whether the opponent would act randomly.

"Mobilize the people in the city to help consolidate the city wall... Stay vigilant. The barbarians to the west, including Ugoli and Jukan, have not gone far and may come back at any time... I will return to Her Royal Highness first."

Yesterday, Itas took a quick look at the opponent's battle on the city wall, but she didn't have much impression, or she didn't understand much.

After listening to Bainani's words, she suddenly felt her face burning red. If the other party wanted Yelan Kingdom, there was no need to rescue her. They would just wait until the war was coming to an end and the Western barbarians showed signs of fatigue before they came out to fight.

As for the Xia cavalry's strategic goal in the Gobi yesterday, which forced the barbarians away from the west, the whole city's morale suddenly boiled.

After returning to the palace afterwards, Bai Nani explained to her that the control of the two Xia cavalry generals over the battle situation and the operational capabilities of their cavalry were rare in the world.

Today, Itas inspected the city, appeased the people in the city, and then sent a messenger to the Xia army's camp outside the city.

However, in the past month, the fighting behind the city wall had made her almost unable to feel life and death... It was hard to imagine that the Xia army had been fighting from the ground to the sea a few years ago until now.

Itas was still wary of the possibility that the Xia army might suddenly seize the city.

How did the Xia Emperor train such an army...

Fortunately, everything was over, Yelan Kingdom was saved, and the 170,000 people in the city were also saved and would not become food.

When Bainani thought of this, she had already arrived at the palace.

Bai Nani is naturally happy, but as one of the few remaining generals of the Yelan Kingdom, she will still remain vigilant about every move of the Xia Kingdom's cavalry.

Itas looked deep, "By the way, are there any other actions by the Xia army outside?"

"...How about the other side of the city wall?"

Fortunately, I heard that the other party was camping outside the city, forming an angle with the city, and constantly sent out scout teams to monitor every move of the western barbarians.

The two talked for a while, and a guard came in from outside. She was a stout female guard, standing on one knee outside the palace door.

"Queen Qi, the generals of Xia Kingdom have entered the city."

The two of them looked at each other in the main hall, and immediately asked the palace servants to prepare for the banquet. No matter what, it was a fact that the other party had solved the crisis in Yelan City.

Just when Itas ordered to go down, the general of Xia Kingdom they mentioned was already in the vigilant sight of the Yelan Kingdom female soldiers on the city, and entered the city gate with only a few riders.

Lu Bu looked at the mottled ax marks and knife marks on the city gate, and the remaining blood stains at the foot of the wall. It was hard for him to imagine that these women from the Yelan Kingdom, who were not tall, could withstand the Western barbarians for a month. attack.

On horseback, he looked around at the exotic scenes unique to the women of the Western Regions on both sides. Although he heard when he came that the women here were in charge, standing in the male-dominated world, Lu Bu felt a little pitiful when he saw them.

After all, when a woman goes to the battlefield and faces a powerful enemy, she can't help but think of her daughter Lu Lingqi.

'Let Lingqi go to the battlefield less often! '

On the Yelan Kingdom side, the women of all sizes on the street looked at the generals of the Xia Kingdom riding red horses and wearing armors, walking majestically through the streets. They were not as reserved and shy as the women in the Xia Kingdom. He stared at Lu Bu with burning eyes.

Most of the women have basically never left the Yelan Kingdom, and they only stay in Jukan and Ugeli for men from the outside world. When they suddenly saw the men of the Xia Kingdom, they were still so tall and powerful, their hearts could not help but beat wildly.

The bold one even whistled directly at Lu Bu, giving the impression that he was teasing a good family.

"I'm afraid Dong Zhuo and Li Jue will never want to leave here!" A female general from the Yelan Kingdom who was leading the way also frequently looked back at the Xia Kingdom general. It was obvious that every aspect of him was attracted by her aesthetics.

After arriving at the palace, she even quietly told Lu Bu the location of her mansion, hoping that Lu Bu would be able to find her at the mansion at night after he finished talking to the queen.

He even said infatuatedly that the position of the wife of the family will be reserved for Lu Bu from now on...

Lu Bu: "..."

The few soldiers who followed the general gritted their teeth and suppressed their smiles. They had never seen the brave and invincible general galloping on the battlefield want to be married by a woman.

“Just think about it if you want to laugh!”

Lu Bu turned over and dismounted with a sullen face, and strode towards the not-so-lofty city gate in front of him.

As the royal palace of the Yelan Kingdom in the Western Regions, although it is one of the established powers in the Western Regions, the scale of the imperial city and palace does not show the luxury it should have.

The surrounding palace walls are also made of simple rock carvings, without even paint or paint.

It looks rough and simple, but from the appearance of the building, there is another sense.

When we arrived at the palace of Queen Itas, it seemed a little more powerful, but it was much dbbier than the palaces Lu Bu had ever seen.

Not talking about the original world, just talking about the current world, even the imperial palace of the Yue Kingdom is stronger than it, let alone the Wei Palace in Luyang in the Central Plains and the Wu Palace in Shengkang.

Along the way, the maids around were all women. Apart from the palace maids, there were no eunuchs, and they were probably of no use.

Thinking like this, across from his vision, Bainani had been waiting outside the hall for a long time. The latter, also dressed in military uniform, stepped forward and offered her hand to Lu Bu using the etiquette of the Xia Kingdom, and then invited Lu Bu to enter the hall.

At this time, Lu Bu also regarded these women as men.

He took off his cloak and handed it to a palace maid at the entrance of the palace. Wearing only the chain armor and holding the ring-headed sword on his waist, he walked through the middle of the hall at a snail's pace, looking at the end of the red carpet with burning eyes. A man in a thin dress , a woman wearing a crown sits on a royal chair made of gold.

"I've seen the Queen of Yelan Kingdom!" Lu Bu stopped and stood still. He raised his hand slightly and arched it forward. He had already observed the furnishings and moving figures in the hall with his peripheral vision.

"General Xia, no need to be polite." Itas didn't speak Chinese, so every word she said was translated and conveyed by Bainani next to her.

Later, someone brought a chair and placed it on one side below the imperial steps to show respect for Lu Bu.

"Let's get down to business." Lu Bu glanced at the chair placed in front of him on the right side. There was no expression on his face. He just wanted to finish talking about business and leave as soon as possible. The atmosphere here made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Early this morning, the Western barbarians sent a letter, asking a certain family to deliver it to my Majesty, intending to seek peace!"

When Bai Nani heard this, her expression changed. After Itas looked at her with doubtful eyes, she hesitantly conveyed Lu Bu's words exactly as they were.

Sure enough, Itas's face also looked a little ugly. She pinched her gauze skirt and looked directly at Lu Bu.

"Then what did the general do?"

Lu Bu laughed loudly: "Of course I will hand it over to the Emperor of Great Xia! This is a rule! But..."

What he said next made Bainani and Itas feel relieved.

"It is not the Western barbarians who have the final say on peace negotiations."

After Lu Bu said this, without looking at the expressions of the two women on the imperial steps, he turned around and walked away. He took the cloak handed by the palace maid and tied it on the back. His voice followed the figure as he walked out of the hall, and his heroic words spread. come over.

"Wugeli and Jukan will be destroyed soon. Queen of Yelan Kingdom, you have to be well prepared. Don't wait until my son comes in the summer and you are still hesitant!"

The figure disappeared outside the hall.

"Then you'll be asking for death!"

……

The light of day faded to the southeast, and thousands of miles away, a mighty army of horse and foot approached Changkang and Tiele from the east.

A large flag with the word "Xia" written on it and a flag with a white dragon pattern on a black background fluttered in the wind, roaring.

Su Chen stood on the chariot, and the scenery of the Western Regions came into view.

At the end of October, we arrived east of Tiele. Night was falling, and the envoys from the barbarians from the west brought letters with them and two sneaky people caught by Xia Kingdom scouts.

Both sides entered the camp almost at the same time.

Those two people were Li Chaofu and Zaha. It was not that they were caught by the scouts, but they came forward on their own initiative. He wanted to meet the Emperor of Xia and inform him about the news about the Imperial Advisor Zhang Jiao.

Take the opportunity to avenge Zaha’s family!
