In the desert, dozens of large carts left their marks on the grass, and hundreds of Jurchen warriors rode tall horses, patrolling around with wolf-like eyes.

A large cart in the center is very luxurious, with more than a dozen burly Jurchen knights guarding each other. The knights are energetic and ride tall horses, and their eyes are like wolves patrolling the end of the grassland.

The person sitting in the car was obviously a woman. She was about 60 years old, with a little distorted body, her face was very plump, and she was well maintained. If you look closely, you can easily imagine that she must have a good appearance when she was young. However, at this time, she was old and no longer showed her appearance back then.

The old woman lay drowsy in the car. When she woke up, she asked in a muffled voice: "Where is it?"

A Jurchen knight said respectfully: "Report to the Queen Mother, after crossing the Li River, you can reach Licheng. Do you want a slave to report a letter to Liwang first and ask Liwang to welcome him?"

The old woman said lightly: "No need, my younger brother is not young, so don't bother him." She sighed and said: "The water plants here are more plump than Qijin Mansion. It would be nice to be enfeoffed here." A look of relief appeared on her face.

This old woman was the biological mother of the empress dowager Wanyan Aguda in the Jurchen Kingdom. At first glance, she was only sixty years old, but in another year she would be seventy. Her body gradually became a little unwell, so she begged Wanyan Aguda to let her come to her brother's house to take a look. She was so tired that she was about to reach Licheng, but she couldn't help but blushed on her face and she felt a little better for a moment.

The convoy crossed a river that was not deep. It was better to say it was a river than a stream. Most rivers on the grassland were like this. After a drought, there was no trace of any trace. Even if there was water, grass grew in the riverbed. A half-man-high water grass formed a strange landscape in the water. A tent and building in the distance were already far away. It was said to be a city, but it was completely different from the city blocks in the pass. There was no moat here, only a half-man-high mound. Outside were the tents and cattle and horses of herders and cattle and sheep. There were some sparse buildings inside the mound, which were lived by princes and nobles.

Compared with Qijin Mansion, this place is really in the sky and the earth, but the empress dowager was very excited and said a few good words. In her opinion, the place where her tribe was located was truly miserable. The water plants were not abundant, and the weather was cold and the ground was frozen. Even the cattle and sheep were not too thin, just like skin and bones. Now the water plants here are half a person tall, and countless cattle, sheep, horses, and cowhides tents were connected together. Apart from Qijin Mansion, where is there such a good place to go?

At this moment, there was movement in the city. An old man came out with dozens of young pegasus. The old man saw the convoy from afar and couldn't help but burst into tears. He quickly got off the horse and walked over quickly. When he arrived in front of the car, the empress dowager had already got off the shaft. The old man said, "I received a few days ago from Qijin Mansion. I realized that my sister was coming. I waited day and night, and finally saw it."

The old man with white hair and hair is Li Wang Nuerchi. He is not young, but his skeleton is quite large. He is one head taller than others and has a tough body. He holds the empress dowager's hand and the two continue a lot. Only a dozen young people behind him come to pay tribute to the empress dowager. These people are big and small, and they are all sons and nephews of Li Wang.

When the empress dowager saw them, she said a few good words, and was supported by everyone and walked towards the city.

Along the way, the Empress Dowager held King Li's hand and said, "It is said that it is not peaceful here, that Wanyan Tutu..." The Empress Dowager's face seemed to have frost, and she snorted coldly: "I always say that she is a warrior, but she was defeated by the Xia army. I believe Qijin Mansion has received this news. I have learned about this from the herdsmen along the way."

Nurchi stroked his beard and sneered, "It's very peaceful here, five or six hundred miles away from Xixia. Even if they use their great courage, they dare not come here. My sister has heard that warriors from the desert have entered the pass and washed the southerners, but have you heard that the southerners have come out to wash and sweep the desert?"

After Nurchi said this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing: "Sister is worried about you. Your fiefdom is good everywhere, but it's closer to the border. If it's really not possible, why not talk to Aguda and change the place to graze our tribe members."

Nurchi waved his hand quickly and said, "Where can I find such a good place in the desert?"

After entering the city and staying in the Li Palace, the empress dowager was willing to give her younger brother and brought dozens of carts of rewards. The Li King Nurchi was also very attentive and the guests and hosts were all happy.

On the second day, a news came, saying that the Xia cavalry attacked everywhere and swept the herdsmen outside the pass. Most of these herdsmen were from Licheng and belonged to the tribe under the jurisdiction of Liwang Nurchi. Nurchi got up early in the morning and heard the report from a herdsman who fled back, and was furious for a moment.

Standing beside him was Nurchi's eldest son, named Coconut Shu. Coconut Shu frowned and said, "Father, will Xia Jun come to us to leave the city?"

Zhunuerchi thought for a while and shook his head, "They don't have the courage, I don't understand them." After that, he said angrily, "After all, it's still Wanyan Tutu's fault. He died, but he was not at ease when he was implicated in my pasture."

Coconut Shu said contemptuously: "When Wanyan Tutu entered the army, he passed by Licheng, and his father invited him to drink a few bowls of wine. Who knew he was a coward. We Jurchens dominate the world, but 30,000 warriors were defeated in his hands. It was really disheartening."

Nurchi said lightly: "What are you saying these words? But when the Queen Mother arrives at Licheng, be careful of what you always want. You and a few brothers will patrol the neighborhood with some warriors. According to my estimate, when His Majesty gets the news, a army of Majesty should be transferred to assist in the defense here."

Coconut Shuji nodded, put on a piece of leather armor, and asked hundreds of warriors from the tribe to go out of the city and patrol nearby.

When the coconut technique came out, it was noon. The sun was very bright at noon. The water plants half a man were swaying in the wind. The endless grass seemed to be connected to the sky, and there was no end. He rode his horse and walked aimlessly west.

However, in their opinion, the chances of the Xia army appearing here are very slim. After all, even from the border of Xixia to this place, it takes two days to reach it. The troops alone went deep into the desert. I guess the people of Xixia do not have the courage.

Coconut Stories led hundreds of people to walk west dozens of miles. Seeing that the sky was dim, they no longer had the intention to move forward. They plucked the horse and were about to lead the team back.

It was at this moment that he suddenly felt the earth trembling, and he couldn't help but look strangely in the direction of the west clouds. In fact, at this time, he was not too nervous. Some herders who were herding horses should return to their tents at this time. It is common for hundreds of strong horses to gallop on the grassland to appear.

On the horizon, black dots appeared one by one, more and more densely. The coconut technique had not yet reacted, but when the black shadow approached, he realized that there were still people, one... two... hundreds and thousands...

"Not good!" Coconut Shu's heart beat wildly. This was not the herdsmen who were herdering horses, but the cavalry. There were a large number of cavalrymen, with a large number of people below five thousand, and more and more, vast and endless, with no end to see.

Ten thousand horses were galloping, and the mighty cavalry suddenly appeared. The forward horse team had already discovered Coconut Shu and others. They accelerated the horse speed without hesitation and rushed over quickly.

"Escape!" Coconut Shu was so scared that his face was pale and he was about to leave. At this time, a warrior from the clan who came with him said, "Your Highness, they are not from Xixia."

Coconut Art looked over suspiciously, and the sky gradually became gloomy, making his vision blurry, but when he closed his eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief. The rushing knight was wearing the armor of the Jurchen cavalry. Nothing wrong, it was the leather armor unique to the Jurchen cavalry.

"Is it the defeated soldiers who fled back from the Xixia border? It's just that there are too many people."

Coconut Technique hesitated for a moment, his face calmed down, thinking to himself that it might be a defeated soldier. Although Wanyan Tutu was defeated, it was impossible for so many warriors to escape from no one. It was just five days after the Jin army was defeated. Why did they come back at this time?

Another question arose in his mind. Just as he was wandering, the cavalry was getting closer and closer.

It is absolutely impossible to be wrong. They are indeed wearing the Jurchen leather armor, and the weapons in their hands are the same as those in the Jurchens. They just don’t cast a flag, so they must have abandoned it when they retreated.

After confirming Coconut Art again, he began to calm down and turned his horse back. He couldn't help thinking: I was really worried just now. The warrior of the Jurchen tribe was almost scared by his own people and ran away. If this matter was spread, wouldn't it be said that Coconut Art is a coward as timid as a mouse? Fortunately, I looked carefully.

He believed in his heart that the people of Xixia would never dare to go deep into the desert, so he was completely relieved. When the opponent's horse team rushed to a hundred feet away, he shouted loudly: "Whose subordinates are you? Why come from the direction of Qilian Mountain?"

The other party said nothing, but the leader rushed out with a horse and rushed out. The cavalry of the back team was divided into two routes, surrounding the left and right. Before Coconut Shu and others could react, they had already appeared behind Coconut Shu and others, blocking their retreat.

Then everyone raised their spears, and the stormy spear emitted a strange cold light in the afterglow of the sunset. The north wind blew on their faces, and everyone pressed down their eyebrows and closed their eyes slightly.

Coconut Scholar only realized something strange at this time. He suddenly shouted: "No, these are Xixia people, Xixia people pretended to be our young masters..." He moved down the anxious horse and wanted to escape, but the retreat had been blocked. The Xixia cavalry with bows and arrows on both sides of the left and right wings, and in front of them, the iron cavalry that was pressing over like dark clouds rushed over from the horizon.

Coconut Technique hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Get out."

Hundreds of Jurchen warriors pulled out the scimitars at their waists and followed the coconut technique to break through in the direction of the city.

Where could the Xixia cavalry, who were surrounded by their back team, let them go easily? A row of thick cavalry raised their spears and let out a low roar. Then, the two cavalry teams accelerated their horse speed on the grassland at the same time, and launched a sprint in the opposite direction...
