As soon as the Son of Heaven gave an order, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops immediately pulled out of camp and pursued towards the north.

Although the Liao army had 100,000 iron cavalry, the defections of Li Jinggao Changgong, Fang Xuanling and Zhang Liao successively dealt a great blow to the spiritual morale of the Liao army, and the loss of Yunzhong City gave them the most fatal blow to their fighting spirit.

Under all kinds of blows, the Liao army was already demoralized at this time, and the army had begun to show bad signs of fleeing without permission and fleeing back to the grassland.

With such a low-spirited army, in the face of the pursuit of the Wei army, Yelu Abaoji did not dare to organize any counterattack at all, so he could only abandon his baggage, bypass Yunzhong City, and flee all the way towards Wuquan Pass.

The Liao army was on the run, and hundreds of thousands of Wei troops were highly moraled, chasing after them, and all the baggage left by the Liao army fell into the hands of the Wei army.

Especially the 200,000 sheep that Yelu Abaoji came from the grassland with great difficulty, after all, they were not as fast as horses, and they could not run as fast as the Liao army, and most of them finally fell into the hands of the Wei army.

That's a bargain potter.

The area in the clouds is already mountainous, and the transportation of grain and grass is inconvenient, and it is not easy for the Wei army to consume many times more manpower and material resources than usual.

These 200,000 sheep are equivalent to 200,000 grain and grass that will move by themselves, and to a certain extent, greatly reduce the burden of grain and grass on the Wei army and facilitate the Wei army's northern expedition.

Within seven days, the Wei army pursued more than 300 miles, and finally caught up with the Liao army on the front line of Wuquan Pass.

Yelu Abaoji's desperate and crazy escape all the way finally paid off, that is, he fled to Wuquan two days earlier than the Wei army.

After arriving at Wuquan, Yelu Abaoji immediately ordered the whole army to stop retreating, set up camp in the area of the mountain pass, and rushed to build a barrier, preparing to meet the onslaught of the Wei army.

When the army of potters pursued to the Wuquan line, the Liao army had already built a camp wall that stretched for several miles on the first line of the mountain pass, and put on a posture of fighting to the death.

And it's no wonder.

As soon as Wuquan is broken, the gate to the grassland outside the Saiwai will be kicked open, and the infantry army of the Great Wei will be able to drive straight into the Liao country.

The foundation of the Liao State is in the southern grassland outside the Saiwai Desert.

Since the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, only they grassland people herded horses southward and sacked the Central Plains, and no army from the Central Plains had ever been able to enter the grassland.

And Yelu Abaoji claims to be the greatest king on the grassland, and now if he is killed into the grassland by the Wei army, it will be the first time in decades that a Han person has entered the grassland, which will deal a great blow to the spirit of the Liao people, and what a huge blow to the prestige of his Yelu Abaoji.

What's more, it is now the height of summer, it is the golden season for grazing on the grassland, once the Wei army enters the grassland, the Liao army is defeated and retreats, which means that a large area of grassland will be occupied by the Wei army.

The loss of grassland means that tens of thousands of cattle and sheep will be starved to death, and even if the Wei army retreats, after winter, the grassland will fall into ***.

Losing the land of the Southern Courtyard, it is just a succession of losses and losses, and the situation is even worse, Yelu Abaoji, the emperor of the Liao State, is afraid that he will no longer have to be.

Therefore, no matter what, Yelu Abaoji has no way to retreat, and he must defend Wuquan Pass.

Of course, the potter is also very aware of this, and knows the importance of Wuquan Pass to Yelu Abaoji, and he is also determined to win this strategic place.

The reason is very simple, the ultimate goal of the pottery merchant's northern expedition was not only to relieve the siege of Jinyang, nor to recapture the northern counties of Jin, but also to enter the grassland in one go, completely destroy the Liao State, and destroy Yelu Abaoji.

Within a few days, more than 400,000 Wei troops gathered in the north of Wuquan Pass, and the camp was ten miles away, and the camp was overwhelming.

For the capture of Wuquan Pass, the potters were not worried at all.

The mountainous area around Wuquan was not conducive to the cavalry deployment of the Liao army, but was conducive to the large number of infantry of the pottery merchants, and he had an absolute advantage in terms of troops, troops, and morale.

Then, he still has a sage like Bodhidharma, even if the Liao people have Mozi's help, the four empty arrays are enough to crack the non-offensive array.

All the potters had to do was to wait for the army to be assembled, the soldiers had eaten and drunk enough, rested, and regained 100% of their strength, and then launched a general attack in one go.

……

Liaoying.

The whole battalion, 100,000 Liao soldiers and soldiers, were immersed in an atmosphere of low morale and panic, and the mood of defeatism circulated in the camp like a plague.

The Imperial Tent.

The breath of anxiety also filled the big tent.

Yelu Abaoji's face was pale, and he sat on it in a daze, holding the half leg of mutton in his hand, he didn't bite a bite in his hand for a long time, and his eyes were full of annoyance and anxiety.

"Khan, the Wei army of more than 400,000 troops has been assembled and can attack us at any time, we still have to plan early." Sima Yi reminded Yelu Abaoji.

The voice fell, and before Yelu Abaoji could say anything, Yan Liang said loudly: "Although the army of pottery thieves is numerous, we still have an army of 100,000 people, and it doesn't matter if we can't attack the pottery thieves, can't we defend a mountain pass." ”

"That is, the terrain of Wuquan Pass is narrow, as long as we have a deep ditch and a high base, I don't believe that the pottery thief can break it." Yelu also shouted confidently.

In the big tent, except for the Li family's father and son, all the generals seem to be quite optimistic about holding the camp.

Li Yuan's father and son glanced at each other, Li Minmin frowned, and glanced at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was helpless, so he had to cough a few times, and arched his hand: "Khan, it's not the younger brother who hits everyone's morale, the younger brother must remind the Khan, there are sages like Bodhidharma in the Wei army, a four-dimensional empty magic array, and even Mozi's non-offensive magic array can be broken. ”

Sage Bodhidharma!

The Four Void Arrays!

Li Yuan's words immediately caused a commotion in the tent, and the generals discussed it for a while.

"I said the king of the Southern Courtyard, what kind of Dharma is that, is he really so godly?" Yan Liang questioned loudly.

Yelu Abaoji also frowned and said, "Brother Yuan, is this Dharma really as powerful as you said?" ”

Li Yuan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "How dare the subordinate brother lie to the Khan, that Dharma is indeed a great achievement, otherwise the subordinate brother would not have been defeated to the pottery thief in Tongguo City in the first place, with this person, it is indeed a great threat to us." ”

Yelu Abaoji's brows furrowed even deeper, and he muttered: "In this way, the battle of Wuquan is really a bit tricky." ”

In the big tent, the mood of the generals was lowered.

Na Yelu Dashi hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Khan, if Na Dharma is really so good, this Wuquan Pass will not be able to hold it no matter what, rather than waiting to be broken by the Wei army, it is better to withdraw——"

"Shut up!"

Before Yelu Dashi could say the word "withdraw", he was interrupted by Yelu Abaoji, which startled him.

Yelu Abaoji's face was gloomy, his eyes were resolute, and he said sharply: "Wuquan Mountain Pass must not be lost, Ben Khan will never let the pottery thief step into the grassland half a step, who dares to retreat again, and blame Ben Khan for curing him." ”

Yelu Dashi shuddered in fright and didn't dare to squeak again, and the rest of the Liao civil and military forces didn't dare to mention the word retreat again for fear of angering Yelu Abaoji.

In the big tent, there was a deathly silence.

At this moment, the guards outside the tent walked into the tent and arched their hands: "Qiqi Khan, there is a person outside the camp, who claims to be Mozi, an old friend of the king of the Southern Courtyard, who has come to help in the war and wants to ask to see the Khan." ”

Mozi is coming!

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, his spirits lifted, and he hurriedly said: "I didn't expect this Mozun to appear in time at a critical time, Khan, this Mozun's ability is not trivial, Khan invite him in." ”

Yelu Abaoji's expression perked up, and when he was about to speak, Yelu Chucai said: "Didn't the king of the Southern Courtyard say that even this Mozi is not the opponent of Bodhidharma, even if he comes to help, what use can it be." ”

"This ......" Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, and had to say: "Having said that, this Mozi is a sage after all, and it is better to have his help than nothing." ”

Yelu Abaoji nodded, brushed his hand and said, "Then invite this Mozun in." ”

The order was handed down, and the guards hurried away, and after a while, Mozi, dressed in coarse cloth, walked into the tent with a big grin.

When he saw Yelu Abaoji, he didn't kneel or salute, but just arched his hand slightly, and said casually: "I've seen the Khan." ”

This is quite rude.

Yelu Abaoji was just employing people, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so he forcibly squeezed out a dry smile and said: "Ben Khan has admired Mozun's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to be able to see it today, it's really a blessing." ”

Mozi didn't eat his set, but he grabbed his neck and said with his hands: "Okay, we don't have to say these polite words, I'll get straight to the point, I'm here to help you resist the attack of the Wei army." ”

Yelu Abaoji was in high spirits, and before he could speak, Yelu Xian preemptively disdainfully said: "What kind of Mozun did I say, didn't you also help the king of the Southern Courtyard at the beginning, but that Dharma broke your magic circle, and it can be regarded as a defeat of other people's subordinates, why do you help us resist the attack of the Wei army?" Do you want to be humiliated by that Dharma again? ”

Yelu Abaoji frowned, and was about to reprimand his subordinates for their rudeness, but the words came to his mouth but swallowed back.

He did have doubts about this Mozi, and wanted to see how Mozi responded, if this person was still just relying on some non-offensive magic array, then there would be nothing to count on. ”

In the face of Yelu Xuan's almost humiliating questioning, Mozi did not feel half annoyed at all, neither embarrassed nor ashamed, and did not even have a trace of emotional fluctuations, completely treating Yelu Xuan's words as air.

After he picked his neck for a while, he flicked the scroll of his fingertips away, and said lightly: "You guys are too underestimating my Mozi, do you think that my Mozi only has that ability?" ”
