【Chapter 335】An Ran Returns to Zhenyuan Pass
[Chapter 335] Safe to Zhenyuan Pass
(0335)
After simply packing up the things, Xu Xingxia and the others rushed to the road overnight. There were only four people leaving Pearl Hainan, Xu Xingxia, Wang Xia, Mao Shisan, Tessina, and Tessina could also ride a horse alone. Within the range of the Black Feather Arrow, Xu Xingxia was definitely not worried about her escaping unless she really wanted to die. As it turned out, she didn't want to die.
Lin Danhan's pursuer was behind, and Xu Xingxia could even feel his breath. Lin Danhan has always believed that he was a hero of the prairie. Three women including Tesna, Wuyunna, Namuzhong should be his forbidden body. Now, Tesna has been snatched away, and this is a real slap in his face, and he will definitely not give up easily. Speaking of which, Lin Danhan is also in his twenties, and he is just when he is full of energy and is angry for the beauty.
If it were someone else who chased him to Zhuhai, he would probably not have the intention to continue chasing him. Zhuhai is thousands of miles away from Guihua City. As the leader of the Tumot tribe, it is very inappropriate to lead troops to such a distance. However, Xu Xingxia believed that with Lin Danhan's personality, he would definitely continue chasing him until Zhenyuan Pass. Therefore, after they left Zhuhai, they could not slow down.
The four people set out overnight, crossed the desert, crossed the Gobi Desert, and headed south all the way. Three days later, Zhenyuan Pass was finally in sight. About 150 miles north of Zhenyuan Pass, Xu Xingxia met the White-clothed cavalry unit heading north. The four troops mixed together, with a total force of more than 1,200. They received the order from Xu Xingxia to go north to pick up Xu Xingxia. After the two sides gathered together, they returned to Zhenyuan Pass together.
When he saw Zhenyuan Pass, Xu Xingxia's heart was finally completely let go. His dangerous mission was finally completely over. He returned to his territory and returned to the embrace of the White Army. To be honest, there is no safer place in this world than Zhenyuan Pass.
With five thousand white-clothed troops and solid fortifications in Zhenyuan Pass, Lin Danhan would not have anything to fear even if he led 50,000 iron-spun cavalry to catch up with him. If Lin Danhan came to attack hard, he would not mind let Lin Danhan make a mess here and retreat in shame. With more than one thousand white-clothed troops, he could severely damage tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry. Now the number of white-clothed troops has increased by five times. What else is there to fear?
Of course, if the fierce war can be avoided, it should be avoided as much as possible. After all, Zhenyuan Pass is still in a tense construction and has not been fully completed. Only a small number of fortifications can be seen. Most of the other fortifications have just begun to lay the foundation. If a large-scale war breaks out and the war lasts for a long time, it will definitely delay the construction progress of Zhenyuan Pass. This is completely unnecessary.
Lin Danhan's old nest is in the distant city of Guihua, almost two thousand miles away from Ningxia Town. Lin Danhan will definitely not be able to stay for a long time at such a long distance. What he has to do is to let Lin Danhan retreat and take refuge in the occurrence of a large-scale war. Now Lin Danhan is so angry that he has a stubborn mind for a while, and has a stubbornness that he has made such a rash move. After he calms down, he will find that it is absolutely unsafe for him to stay here.
In addition, the relationship between Xu Xingxia and Lin Danhan is also relatively subtle. Lin Danhan is different from other Tartar leaders. Overall, Lin Danhan is more intimate and clear-minded. His ideal is to unify the entire prairie. For this reason, he actively cultivated the relationship with the Ming court. The Tumote tribe under his jurisdiction and the Ming army are also relatively harmonious. For the Ming court, it is also necessary to establish a good relationship with Lin Danhan. After all, no one wants to see the war on the border? Wars cost money and people are killed. It is better to avoid it as much as possible!
More importantly, Lin Danhan also shouldered the important task of deterring the Later Jin Tartars. The most important strategy for the rise of the Later Jin Tartars was to win over the top Korqin tribe. In real history, the Later Jin Tartars had their strength greatly enhanced after they formed a comprehensive alliance with the Korqin tribe. Without the cavalry and war horses of the Korqin tribe, the Later Jin Tartars, who were born in a fishing and hunting nation, would not have been able to control Liaodong in such a short time.
According to Wang Qinian's information, the Korqin tribe was quite disobedient. For some reason, this tribe hated Lin Dankhan quite a bit. The Korqin tribe showed considerable cooperation in the win over the wild boar skin Tartars. If it were not for Lin Dankhan's pressure, the Korqin tribe might have turned to the Later Jin Tartars in all respects. If he beat Lin Dankhan down, the benefit would definitely be the hateful Later Jin Wild Boar skin.
For this reason, he could not beat Lin Dankhan too hard. Before the strength of the White Army could not intimidate the Korqin tribe, he had to use Lin Dankhan's hand to block the rise of the Later Jin Tartars. If he traveled to this world, he would continue to rise, continue to defeat the Ming court, and even finally entered the Central Plains, causing the land of China to sink for three hundred years. He, a time traveler, would have been too failed. This would definitely not happen.
"Sir, where have you been? Why did you leave quietly without saying anything?" Yu Lijun and others asked with concern. Xu Xingxia left quietly, which made them very worried. As the core pillar of the White Army, if Xu Xingxia had any accident, the entire White Army would be ruined, and everyone who relied on the White Army would be ruined.
"I'll catch her." Xu Xingxia pointed at Tesna and said calmly.
"Who is she?" Yu Lijun and others looked at Tesna with squint eyes, very confused. They had heard of Tesna's name, but none of them had seen her. No matter how they thought, they could not connect Xu Xingxia and Tesna.
"Little girl Tessna, I have seen you all." Tessna actually tried hard to pretend to be gentle and said softly in pure Chinese. After special practice, her Chinese language is a little stiff when she speaks, but her pronunciation is very standard.
"What? Are you Tesna?" No matter how gentle Tesna's response was, no matter how pure her Chinese was, when she spoke, the people around her were frightened. In fact, her name alone was enough to surprise everyone around her. God, Xu Xingxia actually went deep into the prairie and captured Tesna! They would not be naive, thinking that Tesna and Xu Xingxia were invited back to visit, so they must have used force in the middle.
"Your Qianhu, you are traveling thousands of miles to Lanxing Gorge and invite me to Zhenyuan Pass to visit. It is hard to refuse, so I can't refuse, so I have to follow you." Tesna deliberately pretended to be pitiful and obedient in front of Xu Xingxia, and spoke softly and softly, without the condescending and arrogant appearance of the former priestess.
The large group of white-clothed military officers around them all looked at me and I looked at you, with a look of confusion on their faces. I don’t know which was going on between her and Xu Xingxia. Logically speaking, after being captured by Xu Xingxia as Tesna, even if they don’t want to die, they should at least behave like a non-violent and uncooperative attitude! After all, both sides are enemies, and they will be beaten to death when they meet! How could they surrender so easily?
However, now looking at Tesna's appearance, she looks like a young wife who came to her door, gentle and well-behaved, and dependent on others. If Xu Xingxia and she had not shown that she was Tesna, many people would have an illusion that she was a Han woman. But Xu Xingxia seemed to have no reaction to Tesna's warm voice. He understood that Tesna was deliberately seducing him, so he would not be fooled, so he pretended that she had not seen anything.
Xu Xingxia waved to Wang Qinian to come and asked him to arrange Tesna's residence. Tesna's identity is very special and cannot be regarded as an ordinary prisoner. There is no suitable place for her in the military camp of the Black Mountain Camp. Only the Jinyiwei is capable of dealing with her. With the Jinyiwei's ability, everyone can naturally be placed. I guess Tesna can't play any tricks.
"Sir, I'm leaving! When I'm not by your side, you have to take good care of yourself! I'll come to see you again when I have time!" Tesna did not forget to say goodbye to Xu Xingxia Yiyi before leaving. Her successful illusion is that her relationship with Xu Xingxia has become more familiar than ordinary friends. If she is not a Tatar priestess, senior officers of the White Army would probably misunderstand whether she is the future mistress.
Yu Lijun couldn't help but say, "Sir, you're too risky to do this."
Xu Xingxia nodded and said sincerely: "Yes, it's indeed a bit risky. When I set off, I didn't feel that on the way back, I deeply realized that running a thousand miles is indeed not something that ordinary people can do. I won't be so hasty next time."
Yu Lijun wanted to say something but stopped. Xu Xingxia had already admitted his mistake so sincerely, and he had nothing to say. It was definitely a good thing to be able to catch Tesna back. With his thinking, he could also understand Xu Xingxia's purpose. Catching Tesna would be equivalent to having a comprehensive understanding of the situation in the prairie. The situation Tesna mastered was much more comprehensive and accurate than Wang Qinian. Of course, the premise was that Tesna had to tell the truth and not make trouble in it.
After a slight pause, Xu Xingxia said, "Lin Danhan is still chasing behind."
Yu Lijun's face changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Lin Danhan? How many people are there?"
Xu Xingxia thoughtfully said, "The specific number of people is not clear yet, and it is estimated that it will not be less than 3,000. In fact, he and I, one in front and the other in the back, have never met. However, I can be sure that he is coming to Zhenyuan Pass now."
