The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 338 Hard bones
When Jingli heard this, she didn't have time to elaborate, so she wanted to go back with Huang Biao.

But he was grabbed by Tantai Lin: "I'll go with you!"

Jing Li interrupted him and said: "Lao Beishan is not far from Chang'an. If there is something that I can't handle, I can inform you in time."

"Chang'an is in chaos right now. You have to stay and stabilize the situation. As long as Chang'an is well, Lao Beishan will be safe!"

When Jing Li said this, she looked at Tantai Lin steadily and said, "Tantai Lin, I am a person without ambitions. All I want is a peaceful and healthy life for my family!"

"But there is no room for peace in this world, so I have to fight for it to give my family peace and stability."

"And if you choose me like this, you can't do whatever you want like before, do you understand?"

Tantai Lin stroked the girl's broken hair and said with a smile, "Go ahead. I'll come find you after I take care of Chang'an!"

Then he gave all the Blood Wolf Guards behind him to Jing Li: "You used to obey General Geng, and you will still obey General Geng in the future."

Then he said to General Geng who came to greet him: "From now on, your master will be the princess. From now on, you will obey your master wholeheartedly and there will be no second thoughts. Do you understand?"

General Geng was stunned for a moment, then he bowed to Jing Li and said, "I have seen my master before you, general!"

Jing Li glanced at Tantai Lin with a complicated expression. He just casually gave the blood wolf guard he had trained to himself. What about himself?

Tantai Lin gestured to her: "Go quickly, I will come to find you after I finish this work!"

Jing Li no longer hesitated, and headed to Laobei Mountain with Huang Biao, Shen Zhiming and the Blood Wolf Guards.

Jing Li, Huang Biao and others galloped all the way and arrived at Laobei Mountain before dark. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, there was an angry shout: "Who is that person?"

Jing Li looked up and saw Tian Gengzi and Wang Jinlong on the observation deck.

"Brother Jin Long, I'm back!"

Wang Jinlong was startled at first, and then shouted happily: "Ah Li, Ah Li is back, we are saved!"

After Jingli entered the village, she felt a little strange. Why was there no one in the village?
"What about people?"

Baoziniang, who was delivering the message at the entrance of the village, hurriedly replied: "The Liao people are coming to attack us now, so the old man took us all into Wubao!"

At this time, in Wubao, the entire village and the group of relatives and friends from outside were busy fighting against the enemy.

Mrs. Ge and the others were busy cooking, and dozens of large pots were steaming hot and smoking.

Mrs. Fan squinted her eyes and picked out the whole-grain steamed buns one by one, and called to Xiao Su and the others: "Come on, give them to the people on the corner tower first!"

Xiao Su led a team of women's soldiers and delivered baskets of steamed buns and hot porridge to the corner tower.

On the turret, Dalang and the two sons of Wang Youcai's family started a new round of firing. The crossbow bed was designed to be very powerful and could shoot accurately from hundreds of steps away.

The Liao people had been attacking for five days, but they were still unable to reach the shore. There were corpses floating on the Beishui River. The bright red blood stained the river water, and it was washed away by the rushing river water, and slowly returned to normal.

The leader of the Hutu tribe on the other side of the Beishui River was upset and angry: "This damn village is just a run-down village. Why can't it be captured in a few days!"

"You bunch of losers, did you try your best to attack?"

Yelumengtu changed his route and went to the Western Regions, and Hutubi, who was ambitious, took refuge in Empress Xiao.This time, it was Empress Xiao who heard about the changes in Chang'an and hurriedly sent him here, hoping to go ashore from the Beishui River and penetrate directly into the heart of Chang'an, thus establishing the situation of settling in the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

Originally, he thought that although the Beishui River was a bit more turbulent, there was no one on the other side to defend him, so he could just spend some time and build a pontoon across it.

I heard that the fields in that village are very fertile, and the locust plague this year has not affected them, and the food harvest is bumper.

Hutubi didn't bring much food rations, so he went into battle lightly, planning to fight and plunder all the way. After fighting through the county town and entering Chang'an, he wouldn't have everything.

I never expected that after five days of attacking such a small and broken village, many soldiers were killed. Seeing that all the food was exhausted, they could not even get to the shore.

At this moment, Hutubi seemed to understand why Yelu Mengtu went to the Western Regions with an aggrieved look on his face even though he had the army in hand. At that time, he even laughed at Yelu Mengtu for not being a member of the royal family, and how courageous he was.

Only now do we know why Yelu Mengtu was so timid. He clearly saw the situation clearly and knew how hard it was to crack the bones on the other side of the river!

"How much food do we have?" Hutubi asked the quartermaster, pulling his hair.

The quartermaster said uneasily: "Sir, we have no food. Even tonight we can only make porridge!"

Hutubi was so angry that he cursed: "Why didn't you tell us in advance that there was no food?"

The quartermaster whispered: "I told your Excellency three days ago, Your Excellency said."

On that day, he said that there would be less than three days of food and grass, but Hutubi still said firmly that he could cross the river tomorrow. As long as the army crosses the river, everything will be available, so there is no need to worry too much about food and grass.

Unexpectedly, one tomorrow after another, the soldiers were buried at the bottom of the river one by one, but they could not even touch the other side.

Hutubi's blood surged, and he felt a bit fishy and sweet in his throat. He couldn't help but cursed: "Since we know that there is a shortage of food and grass, why can't the tribes not far from here ask people to collect food!"

The quartermaster looked helpless and said: "Sir, I've already been there, just those tribes."

"If you have something to say, what do you mean by being timid?" Hutubi looked at the quartermaster's appearance and was so angry that he resisted the urge to kill.

The quartermaster boldly said: "Those tribes are now headed by the Mohu tribe. The leader of the Mohu tribe, Mohuzi, bluntly said that there was a locust plague this year and the forage was damaged. Even the life of the people in the tribe was difficult. There is no extra food to support us!"

Hutubi cursed loudly: "What the hell, I don't know about the grassland in the north. I harvested the fodder in advance and there was no disaster at all. Has Mohuzi forgotten his origin?"

Then he called his subordinates: "Go to Mohu Zidu and tell him what I said, and ask him to send food quickly. If he doesn't send it!"

"Humph!" Hutubi said with a ferocious expression: "I can't beat the river, why can't I kill him back and destroy his tribes?"

At this time, Master Yuan of the Mohu Department was trying to persuade Mohu Zidu: "Touman, do you think I am thinking about Dafeng Chao?"

"I'm thinking about our tribes!"

Mo Huzi was becoming more and more domineering now, and he said casually: "Oh, I don't know. Mr. Yuan did not educate the prairie people well, but he was influenced by my prairie people?"

Lord Yuan ignored Mohu Zidu's sarcasm and waved his hand: "Mohu people don't need to provoke me like this. Although I was sent here, I also know my identity. I just don't know if the leader knows my situation? "

Mo Huzi didn't take it seriously and said, "Sir, why don't you tell me, what's my situation?"

Master Yuan said with a sad look on his face: "Headman, you are in a critical situation!"
