In the third year of Qingyuan, when Lin'an City and all walks of life were happily living a lively and noisy Yuan Day, and looking forward to and planning how to live a more enjoyable Yuan Festival, Beidi was still in the midst of a tragic war.

Some people don't know what year it is in the north, and the reason why the battle after the Yuan Dynasty is described as tragic is because Yeluyue endured great pressure and casualties in Niangzi Pass, and the begging stone martyrs were full of anger and hatred after being ambushed, and finally relied on Niangzi Pass to vent to the Song army.

Niangzi Pass was broken, the Song people suffered heavy losses, less than 30,000 soldiers, under the steep city wall of Niangzi Pass, piled up corpses all over the place, more than 10,000 people died here, so that the Xia generals looked at those stiff corpses, looked up to the sky and roared that they must break the corpses of the begging stone martyrs into thousands of pieces, and cut them with thousands of knives!

In this battle, the Xia soldiers were almost killed and wounded, and the Song people and the Liao people also suffered heavy losses, especially the Song people, who took the lead in the last battle to break through the Niangzi Pass, and completely adopted the method of fighting to the death with human lives in exchange for the pass, and it was precisely because of the strong attack of the Song people that the Niangzi Pass was finally taken by Yeluyue at sunset, and the gods and slaves of Qishilie with less than 3,000 people fled to Zhending Mansion in a hurry.

For nearly seven days, Yeluyue was always on top of her armor, even if she took a break in the tent, she was still wearing cold black armor, and now the armor that was originally black and shiny was now quite embarrassed in the mud of the snow.

Niangzi Pass was finally captured, but the begging stone lie gods and slaves abandoned the pass and fled, so this battle could hardly be called a victory for the army under Yeluyue's command.

The thick smell of blood wafted at the end of Yeluyue's nose, and the frowning Yeluyue sniffed hard, and her originally exhausted expression instantly became a little angry, and she called Yelu Yixue several times in a row, but no one responded, and the soldiers outside the tent looked at Yeluyue who came out in a hurry, and involuntarily lowered their heads.

"What the hell is going on?" Under the setting sun, Ye Luyue's expression became more solemn, and she faintly questioned her own soldiers with an uncontrollable anger.

The smell of blood in the cold air was even stronger, and from time to time she could hear screams coming from a distance, and she didn't even have time to turn around and go back to the camp to get her own knife, and she pulled out the waist knife of the guard next to her, and rushed down the wall of Niangziguan.

The guards hurriedly followed Yeluyue, and rushed to the gate of Niangzi Pass, and at this time, not only Yelu Yixue was here, but even many generals such as the Song people and the Liao people gathered here at this moment, and the strong smell of blood made Yeluyue feel like nausea.

"Get out of the way." Yeluyue, who was holding a waist knife, pointed to the general in front of her, and as the general parted to the sides, Yeluyue continued to move forward quickly.

Yelu Yixue was standing in front of a huge pit at this time, and all around, those captured Jin people knelt around the pit for a full circle at this time, and there were soldiers holding waist knives behind them, with Yelu Yixue's order, I saw that in the cheers of other onlookers, the soldiers behind the Jin captives quickly raised the waist knives in their hands, and Yelu Yue's voice was instantly drowned.

The golden captives who knelt in front of the pit fell into the huge pit with the hands of the soldiers behind them, like a chain reaction of dominoes, and fell into the huge pit while spraying blood from their necks in an instant, and the severed heads also rolled down to the depths of the pit with the cheers of the soldiers.

The blood stained the entire dirt pit and the edges of the surroundings, looking at the extremely cruel scene in front of her, Yelu Yue's face became more and more pale, she stumbled under her feet and almost fell to the ground, pushed away the quick guards behind her, staggered and rushed to Yelu Yixue, and the waist knife in her hand was instantly on Yelu Yixue's neck.

At this time, the soldiers who were cheering around the pit stopped cheering instantly when they saw this scene, and the whole scene suddenly became quiet.

Although there were heavy casualties in the first battle of Niangziguan, it has to be said that Yeluyue's actions of not disarming her armor for seven days and nights, and the army has been sticking to the siege, still made her prestige in the army higher and higher, and she has won more and more trust and admiration from all the soldiers.

Yelu Yixue turned his head stiffly, and when he saw Yelu Yue with a murderous face, he was also shocked, he naturally knew what he had done wrong, and after Niangzi Pass was breached, Yelu Yue warned him that we must not massacre prisoners because of our heavy casualties in this battle.

But Yelu Yixue finally disobeyed Yelu Yue's order, after all, the soldiers who survived the catastrophe had already accumulated resentment and anger against the Jin people in their hearts during the seven days of fierce fighting.

In the past seven days, every futilely tackling key problems will make the generals have a little more hatred for the Jin people who hold on to Niangzi Pass, not only the Xia generals who suffered the most serious damage, but also even Yelu Yixue, every time they are repelled by the Jin people on the city wall, they will swear fiercely in their hearts that once they break through Niangzi Pass, they must be repaid with blood and blood, and redouble their revenge.

This kind of resentment and anger accumulated in the tragic battlefield of life and death will not disappear at all with the destruction of the Niangzi Pass, and the hatred and anger for the enemy in the heart naturally still need to go through a more inhumane bloody massacre

to calm down.

Like many slaughters and killings, although this heinous act was already thought of by Yelu Yue, and even reminded Yelu Yixue, when all this happened, Ye Lu Yue's whole person was already trembling with shock by the scene in front of him.

Just like Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi of that year, after breaking through Taiyuan, he ordered Taiyuan to be burned because of his resentment of Taiyuan's sworn resistance, and then diverted water to irrigate Taiyuan, which eventually made Taiyuan razed to ruins, and three years later, he had to rebuild a new Taiyuan Mansion in the north of the city.

"Your Highness......." Yelu Yixue's title for Yeluyue has always been different from anyone's, and this is like his exclusive title for Yeluyue: "All this is the fault of the last general, it is the last general who disobeys the military order, and the last general ......." ”

"Don't kneel yet." Yelu Yue put away her sword, her cold gaze moved away from Yelu Yixue, and began to look around at the soldiers gathered in front of the pit, as well as the rest of the Jin soldiers who were waiting to be beheaded.

The lady has long lost the joy when she just broke the pass, with Yelu Yue's eyes looking around, all the soldiers involuntarily lowered their heads in an instant, especially those Xia generals, at this time one by one unconsciously shrunk their necks, but their hearts were praising Yelu Yixue for his righteousness, this time he disobeyed the military order, he actually carried it alone.

"Your Highness, the last general is willing to accept any punishment, but ......." Yelu Yixue knelt in the snow, lowered his head and continued: "But please also ask Your Highness to allow the last general to wear the crime and make meritorious service, and after the last general takes the Zhending Mansion and captures the begging stone and the gods and slaves alive to avenge the soldiers, His Highness will never say anything about killing or killing the last general." ”

The Song generals and Xia generals who were surrounding them, after hearing Yelu Yixue's words at this time, instantly began to kneel down and ask Yelu Yue for their guilt.

In the buzzing plea, Yelu Yue couldn't help but sigh helplessly, as the so-called law does not blame the public, not to mention Yelu Yixue, who has always followed him, if he really cut off his head, not to mention the next attack on Zhendingfu, I am afraid it will also make the hearts of the soldiers present cold.

"Capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be avoided. He received a hundred rods and was punished, and he immediately set out to attack Zhending Mansion early tomorrow morning. After Ye Luyue finished speaking, she threw down the waist knife in her hand, turned around and walked towards the Niangzi Pass.

The rest of the Jin Soldier captives, who originally thought that they were dying, unexpectedly picked up a life in the end, and instantly sat in the snow, and even some people had begun to howl and cry.

Yelu Yue's voice, who had just turned around and walked a few steps, sounded again, and the painful Jin soldiers captives who were happy to be alive instantly stifled their cries: "If any of you is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I, Yelu Tieyi, promise...... I will never dare to oppress you in the army, and as for those who still want to serve the Jin Kingdom, which is already in the general trend, I will not stop you, and once you arrive at the city of Zhending Mansion, I will immediately release you. ”

The Jin captives looked at each other instantly, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, and they began to think about how to make a choice at the moment.

After the Song generals left after Yeluyue finished speaking, he smiled and said to the Jin soldiers captives: "You have thought about it, the iron-clad general is merciful, and he wants to let you live, but have you thought about it, when you arrive at the city of Zhending Mansion, how many of the beggar gods and slaves dare to accept you captives?" ”

"Think about it, when my army is preparing to attack Zhending Mansion, will the begging stone martyrs open the city gate and let you in? I'm afraid that before you get close to the city gate, the arrows on the city wall will already shoot you into hedgehogs, let alone trying to live, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave a whole corpse. ”

Just after Yeluyue left, the soldiers under his command began to persuade those Jin captives to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, Meng Gong led 20,000 people from Kaifeng Mansion through Taiyuan Mansion and began to march towards Yanmen Pass.

Taiyuan Mansion is now under the appeasement of Yelu Chucai and Li An'an, as if Taiyuan Mansion has become a post station in a short period of time, after Meng Gong just led 20,000 people north to Yanmen Pass yesterday, today they once again ushered in reinforcements from Anbei Protectorate, Sima Jian's 20,000 Anfeng army, Hengqiao's 30,000 Guanghua army stationed in Taiyuan Mansion together.

Sima Jian and Hengqiao were also traveling lightly, so just like Meng Gong only collected grain and grass in Kaifeng, after stopping in Taiyuan Mansion for a day and bringing enough grain and grass, they began to rush to the direction of Niangzi Pass.

Hengqiao led the army to aid Yeluyue first, Sima Jian followed closely with grain and grass, and Meng Gong was in the Yanmen Pass when he arrived, he was already waiting impatient Yu Yunwen pulled into the Yanmen Pass, after a simple handover procedures, Yu Yunwen left Meng Gong who had just come to the Yanmen Pass, and led the army to Wuzhou.

Meng Gong began to take over the passes around Yanmen Pass, Yu Yunwen set off to Wuzhou to join Ye Qing, and Heng Qiao and Sima Jian chased after Yeluyue, so that the entire Jingzhao Mansion and Hetao were about to be empty.

And when Yu Yunwen advanced to Wuzhou, Ye Qing had already chased the retreating Jin people to Shunzhou, which was already one step away from Yanjing, but at this time there were only 3,000 kinds of Huajia army under his command, and as for Xu Han's 10,000 horses, they were handing over Wuzhou with Yu Yunwen.

From the beginning of the capture of Yanmen Pass, Ye Qing's northward trip to Wuzhou or southward to Yanzhou was extremely smooth, not so much by fighting

Zhuzhou, it is better to follow the footsteps of the Jin people to retreat, and all the way to these important gateways to the Central Plains and Guanwai.

Ye Qing was surprised by the retreat of most of the Jin soldiers at Yanmen Pass, and when Wuzhou also won without a fight, Ye Qing realized that the Jin people might not be able to take care of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun at this time, but what was their purpose in withdrawing such a large area of troops, and even abandoning such an important Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?

Could it be that the Jin people have been completely defeated? Ye Qing didn't believe it very much, the scouts were even able to catch up with those retreating Jin soldiers, and there was not much panic in those retreating Jin soldiers in an orderly manner, which was enough to prove that Yanjing was actually still under the control of the Jin people, and even the turmoil on Wujing Road should not have made the Jin people hurt their bones, so Ye Qing was still a little unclear now, what was the real purpose of Wan Yan Jing's sudden abandonment of the sixteen states of Yanyun in such a large area.

Ye Qing, who has been in the mountains and mountains, although he can already get news from the outside world through Dong Chao's eyeliner in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures over the years, he still knows very little about the news of Wujing Road, and naturally, he doesn't know that when he arrived in Shunzhou and was only one step away from Yanjing, Wan Yanjing had already prepared everything for the imperial expedition.

As for Yanjing, he still handed it over to Wanyan Shoudao and the begging stone lie gods and slaves who were retreating from Zhending Mansion.

At this time, the Beijing Road in the Wujing Road had been completely lost under the joint efforts of the Mongols and the Khitan Liao, Wanyan Chengyu and Wanyan Heda were defeated and retreated to Zhongjing Road to join the Weishao King Wanyan Yongji, and another Jin general Puxian Wannu and his family were captured by the Khitan Liao.

At this moment, in the golden tent of the Mongol Great Khan, while listening to the report of his subordinate Chen Nayan, the face of a woman kept coming to his mind, that is, the wife of Puxian Wannu, who was captured by Yeluliuge's men, Li Xian'e, the wife of Puxian Wannu.

This was inadvertently seen among the Jin captives when Temujin personally arrived in Dexing Mansion to accept the surrender of the Khitan Liao brothers Yelu Liuge, and officially conferred on them as the kings of Liao, allowing them to establish the state on Xijing Road, Beijing Road, and Shangjing Road.

And it was precisely because of that glance that Temujin could still clearly recall the panicked, as if looking at his face as if he was begging for help, so helpless and weak, that Temujin's heart instantly rose to the idea of wanting to take it for himself and protect that woman.

"Find the woman and let Jeruliuge deliver it to my tent." Temujin suddenly spoke and said to Chen Nayan.

Chen Nayan was stunned for a moment, what he had just reported was Yeluliuge's refusal to be the emperor, not the Great Khan who asked him to inquire about the matter named Li Xian'e.

"Great Khan, although Yelu Liubu and other subordinates of Yelu Liuge have already advised Yelu Liuge to be the emperor and take Liao as the name of the country, but Yelu Liuge has always insisted on calling himself the king of Liao, and has no intention of being the emperor." Chen Nayan was stunned for a moment and continued.

"Does Yelu Gobu want to be the emperor?" Temujin asked lightly.

It is true that the Jin country is in a state of decline, but now Temujin does not plan to annex the three roads that the Yeluliuge brothers now occupy, in addition to his concern for Ye Qing, who is now in the Jin territory, he is worried that once he turns against the Yeluliuge brothers, it will make the Yeluliuge brothers turn to Ye Qing, and finally form a pincer attack with Ye Qing and kill the Jin country.

In this way, Ye Qing and him are not only passive defenses, but can completely use the power of the Khitan Liao people in the Wujing Road of the Jin State to insert a sharp blade behind his Great Mongolia that he needs to scruple at all times, so that his plan to continue the eastward crusade against Khorezm will naturally be restrained by Ye Qing because of this, and it is even likely to attract Ye Qing's covetousness of the grassland.

If he still looked down on Ye Qing's ambition in the past, then now, he really realized that Ye Qing's ambition was not as long as Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Ye Qing's ambition was completely to restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties step by step, so that whether it was the grassland or the Western Regions, or this Liaodong would become the territory of the Song Dynasty.

So no matter what, he had to support a puppet, a puppet like the Yelu Liuge brothers, to help him deal with Jin Ren and Ye Qing.

"I'm afraid Jerugobu ......." Chen Nayan pondered Temujin's words, thought for a while, and said, "Yelu Gobu must want to be the emperor ....... ”

"Then give him the Golden Tiger Talisman to test whether Yelu Liubu has the ambition to be the emperor, as for Yelu Liuge...... He didn't want to be the emperor, so he just gave it to his younger brother. Temujin thought for a moment and said, he naturally had a bargaining chip in his hand to blackmail Yeluliuge, if Yeluliuge was not willing to be the emperor himself, nor did he want his younger brother Yelugobu to be the emperor, then what he had to do was to support Yelugobu to become the emperor.

Chen Nayan nodded yes, and planned to turn around and leave, but was suddenly stopped by Temujin, and told again: "Let that woman come to my tent, that woman named Li Xian'e." ”

"Okay, the last general will go and tell Yeluliuge." Chen Nayan hesitated slightly and said.

Temujin smiled at the corners of his mouth, and the face of a weak woman named Li Xian'e reappeared in his mind from time to time.
