Chapter 282: Out of the wolves and into the tiger's den
"Huohuo, now the Huanglong Mansion is in danger. Take my Xiao family's female family to leave first, hide, and come back after pacifying the Jurchens!"
Xiao Wei said in a serious expression: "First, the incense of the Xiao family was kept, and the other is that these female relatives are the choices of the future clans, which is also the hope for my Xiao family to continue!"
At this time, there was a mess in Huanglong Mansion City. The east gate of the mansion had been broken. The Jurchen method was to surround three quarries and one, and there were only the south gate without Jurchen soldiers.
"These trash!" Xiao Huohuo said with a look of despair, "Dad! If I don't leave, I can lead troops to fight with the Jurchens. You can ask your elder brother to take them away! My sister and niece will follow my elder brother!"
In fact, the Jurchens did not have so many troops. The main force was at the East Gate, and only a small number were at the West Gate and the North Gate. Unfortunately, the remaining soldiers of the Liao Kingdom lost the courage to break through, and everyone rushed to the South Gate.
"Don't talk nonsense! Your elder brother wants to protect the car!" Xiao Weiyin yelled urgently. He also wanted to escort him along with him. Xiao Huohuo just kept a backup plan and roared angrily: "Go away quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Xiao Huohuo had no choice but to turn over the horse and take the carriage of the important female family of the Xiao clan, heading eastward, preparing to pass through Huolonggou, where one of the few maritime forces in the Liao Kingdom and the power of the Xiao family.
No one from the Liao Kingdom expected that the little Jurchen Wanyan tribe, which had only tens of thousands of people, would have grown so strong in half a year. Relying on surrounding areas to attack and help, they ate the troops of the surrounding prefectures.
However, the largest army in Liao Kingdom, the Huanglong Army was firmly restrained by Dayan. Until the Huanglong Mansion was destroyed, Yelu Yingbi sent only 50,000 people back once, and no more troops were sent.
Then the Jurchen soldiers began to attack cities and land in the northern part of the Liao Kingdom, occupying all the territory in the northern part of the Liao Kingdom. More Jurchen tribes came to surrender, and the Jurchen soldiers alone reached 50,000. In addition, the Liao soldiers who surrendered one after another, had an army of nearly 200,000.
This time, the Jurchens were known as 300,000 troops and came to the capital of Huanglong Mansion again, but this time was different from the last time. In just half a month, they broke into the city!
After the Huanglong Mansion was destroyed, the royal family and nobles of the Liao Kingdom abandoned the city and fled in panic, preparing to go to Xiangping to use it as their new capital. At this point, the Liao Kingdom had lost one-third of its territory, and the Jurchens were still growing.
"Uncle, where are we going?" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl pulled Xiao Huohuo, who was in a daze, blinked with her big, smart eyes as bright as water, and said, "We can't go to Dayan, are we?"
"It's Guanyin! Actually, I haven't figured out where to go yet. Take one step at a time!" Xiao Huohuo looked confused and looked at Xiao Guanyin, saying, "But don't worry, my uncle will definitely protect you!"
My niece has been familiar with classics, history, and collections since she was a child. She has been able to write poems and lyrics since she was ten years old. She is also proficient in music and is especially good at playing the pipa. Now she is beautiful at the age of fourteen and has been known as the number one beauty in the Xiao clan.
According to the customs of the Liao Kingdom, she had already engaged to the prince of the Liao Kingdom. She would get married late when she was only sixteen years old. As long as nothing unexpected happened, she would definitely be the candidate for the next queen and be the top figure of the next generation of the Xiao family.
"Uncle, why don't we go to the East China?" Xiao Guanyin is introverted and delicate, but her words make people feel like spring breeze. She only heard her tell her reasons and said: "We must not go to Dayan. I think that it will be Jurchen territory soon. The South China Sea is too far away and it is inconvenient to go back and forth."
Seeing Xiao Huohuo frowned and pondered, he continued, "Then, we can only go to the East, what do you think, uncle?"
It turned out that she was hesitating when Xiao Huohuo was afraid that other women would worry when they found out, because she came over and deliberately gave advice when Xiao Huohuo was in a daze alone.
"Dongyang?" Xiao Huohuo looked at the endless sea, then looked firm and said, "Let's go to Dongyang!"
"General, it's not good!" A messenger came to the deck in panic and shouted: "There is a ship from Crescent Island ahead to come here!"
Xiao Huohuo was stunned: "What Crescent Island?"
The messenger remembered that this was his first time going to sea, and he had never heard of the reputation of Crescent Island. He hurriedly said: "Crescent Island is the largest force in the East China Sea. Our fleet originally had more than fifty ships. It is because of them that the ten people are left now!"
"Ah?" Xiao Huohuo said in surprise: "Is it a pirate?"
"It's not a pirate, but it's almost done!" The messenger smiled bitterly and said, "They have control over the maritime trade affairs of various countries in the East China Sea, but I, the Great Liao, are not allowed to participate. It is said that because they are Yan Guo people!"
"Then we fight with them! We thousands of soldiers are still afraid that a pirate will not succeed?" Xiao Huohuo was furious. He had just been broken into the city by the Jurchens and had no choice but to escape. But he met the Yan people on the sea. Are you still afraid that they will not succeed?
"General, not to mention thousands of soldiers, even tens of thousands of people are definitely not the opponent of Crescent Island on the sea!" Seeing that he didn't understand anything, the messenger explained: "Their ships are equipped with divine objects that can emit thunder and fire, and our previous fleet was gone!"
He sighed in despair and continued, "I survived the encounter. Fortunately, I was near the sea. I was well dependent on the water and swam far away. They disdained to chase me, so I survived. After that, our Liao fleet was around them!"
"Can you get around them now?"
Xiao Guanyin's gentle voice sounded, which made the messenger feel a little calmer. He explained with a wry smile: "They should be cruising and found us and couldn't escape. Their ship is much faster than ours, so why don't they!"
He stood up and pointed behind the two of them, saying, "It's there!"
The two of them looked in the direction he pointed, and saw more than ten large ships in herringbone shapes, breaking through the waves, extremely oppressive. The flags hung on the ship were faintly popping up with crescent moons and whips, fluttering in the wind.
"Uncle, do we want to jump into the sea to avoid being humiliated!" Xiao Guanyin looked at Xiao Huohuo with a firm look.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a rough voice from afar: "Listen to the Liao people on the ship! We are the Crescent Fleet. If you give up resistance, you can save your life. Otherwise, don't blame our firearms for being ruthless and let you bury them in the sea!"
"Don't be afraid of Guanyin!" Xiao Huohuo grinned, as if smiling, looked at Xiao Guanyin and said sarcastically: "I have been arrested. If you have experience, I will definitely take you back!"
Under the surprised gaze of Xiao Guanyin and the messenger, Xiao Huohuo walked to the side of the ship, gathered his hands in a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly: "I am the uncle of the Great Liao Kingdom, the queen's brother Xiao Huohuo! I want to see your leader!"
