More than 200 war horses galloped at high speed in the field, and its momentum was also quite spectacular.

The Song army camp behind him has completely disappeared, along the foot of the two mountains of Phoenix and Peach Blossom, a sheep intestine path that cannot be called a road, Ye Qing, who is wearing a black fur coat flying in the wind, led his own army, and slowly slowed down in a recess of Phoenix Mountain.

The loud whistle slowly slowed down with the more than two hundred of them, like the chirping of a goshawk hovering in the sky, ringing in the ears of Ye Qing and the others.

"Be on guard." Jia Shi didn't wait for Ye Qing to speak, and immediately pulled out the bow and crossbow on his waist, and tightly surrounded Ye Qing in the center: "You go forward, you go up the mountain, you occupy the high ground and look at ......." ”

"It's okay, it's your own people." Ye Qing listened to the intermittent whistle in the air, and his face showed an easy-going smile that had been rare for a long time.

"Your Excellency......." Jia Shi held a bow and crossbow.

Without waiting for Jia Shi to continue speaking, he saw that from the recess leading to the back mountain, the sound of hurried horses' hooves mixed with several fast war horses was rushing towards them.

"Protect your lordship." Jia Shi said dutifully again.

Ye Qing didn't stop him this time, but calmly looked at his front, and instantly moved sideways to protect his own soldiers, one by one holding bows and crossbows, aiming at the few war horses that were running over quickly in the distance.

"The last general, Zhong Silkworm and Mo Xiaobao, have seen Lord Ye." The two looked at the soldiers on the horses in front of them, raised their bows and crossbows one by one, and immediately slowed down and shouted loudly on horseback.

"Zhong Silkworm...... Mo Xiaobao ......? Jia Shi muttered these two familiar names in surprise.

Since following Ye Qing's side, he has often heard these two names, especially in Ye Qing's mansion, he has heard them more often, and through the conversation between Tao Qian and others at the beginning, Jia Shi also knows that these two people are Lord Ye's real right-hand men, but they have never had the opportunity to see the true face of Lushan.

After Jia Shi motioned to the soldiers protecting Ye Qing in front of him to put down their bows and crossbows, they began to look intently at the dozen or so riders wearing sheepskin jackets like dirt buns.

The two people at the head were about twenty years old, or about thirty years old, one by one with unshaven beards, each of them had a dark complexion, and there were even "red spots" on the cheeks of the people of the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms that they rarely saw, only the "red spots" that appeared on the cheeks of the people of Western Xia and Liao.

But from the appearance of the two of them sitting on horseback, as well as the tacit understanding with the war horse under the crotch, Jia Shi couldn't help but respect Zhong Silkworm and Mo Xiaobao, especially after the two of them got closer, although the body wrapped in a thick sheepskin jacket still gave him a feeling as if he was as strong as a cheetah.

Seeing that the two people in front of him were about to reach Ye Qing, and then dismounted cleanly and saluted Ye Qing, and then the two turned over and got on the horse, that kind of unity of people and horses, that kind of natural feeling, made Jia Shi even more shocked in his heart.

"Not bad." Ye Qing looked at the two people who turned over and got on the horse, and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, I haven't seen each other for more than two years or three years, and I am mature and a man." ”

"Just look at the beard, you don't know, Zhong Silkworm has been thinking about letting me shave off my beard with him for the past two days, but I think it's more masculine and more majestic." Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm, one left and one right, protected Ye Qing, and began to walk towards the back mountain.

And the dozen or so horses brought by the two of them, after Ye Qing and them passed, also disappeared on both sides of the foot of the mountain, and then, their dispatch was to be highly vigilant around, not letting anyone know the secret of this back mountain.

As the temperature in the mountains drops, the river that flows through the back mountains from the depths of the mountains becomes clearer and clearer.

Mo Xiaobao and others, who were already running around like on the grassland, looking for grasslands and water sources, would now be in this back mountain for more than two months.

Like a village that has fallen into the grass, the simple living facilities have been made decent by these 5,000 people, Jia Shi is alone in the back mountain, looking at this big "village", and his heart is more and more shocked and surprised.

No wonder Lord Ye chose to camp in Taoshan, no wonder Lord Ye dared to have a battle with the Jin people in such an open area, with 30,000 people as the main force.

Obviously, these five thousand talents are Lord Ye's killer weapon, and they are also the sword that Lord Ye has secretly arranged to use against the Jin people.

In the narrow tent, Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm were still sitting on both sides of Ye Qing on the left and right, looking at the tea that Ye Qing brought, their eyes lit up instantly, and they immediately ordered someone to boil water to make tea, after all, in the past two months here, they have only seen outsiders sent by Dong Chao to send them grain and grass, and Dong Chao's guy didn't prepare tea for them, so that some time ago, they who ate too much meat wanted to use leaves as tea to drink.

Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm's excitement when they saw Ye Qing had not completely passed, and they had been looking at Ye Qing with a smile, as if they had seen their parents.

Compared with Zhong Silkworm, Mo Xiaobao has followed Ye Qing for a longer time, from a beggar living on the street to a general who is now leading 5,000 people.

Just when the two of them were scrambling to tell Ye Qing about the things on the grassland over the years, including Yeluyue, Temujin, Sangkun and others, they had now set off from Tai'an Prefecture and arrived at Wanyan Shoudao in Qufu, and were announcing to the people that a grand memorial to Confucius would be held in Konglin tomorrow.

Starting from Jinan Mansion, Wan Yan Shoudao, who has been frowning and constantly sending scouts to investigate the news of Ye Qing's army, has the will from the imperial court in his hand, in addition to letting them pay tribute to Kong Lin, it is very possible...... Wan Yanjing wants to go to Jinan Mansion to guard it personally.

For the Jin army led by Wanyan Shoudao, he suddenly felt a huge pressure.

Rather than saying that Yan Jing wanted to personally guard Jinan Mansion and increase their morale, it was better to say that because of Wan Yan Jing's move, Wan Yan Shoudao, Mou Yan, and Qi Shilie were forced to the point where they had to win against Ye Qing.

Including Wanyan Shoudao, he did not believe that Wanyan Jing's arrival was to boost morale and win people's hearts, on the contrary, they tasted Wanyan Jing's desire to win this battle from the will of the imperial court.

In other words, Wan Yanjing really wanted to win this battle, and then be able to meet Ye Qing, the defeated, as a winner.

The four words of capturing Ye Qing alive in the will are extremely dazzling at this time, but Wanyan Shoudao has a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment.

Although he had not really confronted Ye Qing's army yet, the mutual encounters and confrontations between the scouts had already made Wan Yan Shoudao feel that the Song army he was facing now could even be compared to Yue Fei's back-to-back army.

In Wanyan Shoudao's view, now Ye Qing has been wandering around Jeju City, ignoring the defenders of Pizhou and Jeju, although he is suspected of bluffing, but because he chokes the choke point and Tengzhou's containment, Ye Qing is like a fish in water in the area of Peach Blossom Mountain, waiting for their arrival with ease.

And after Yan Shoudao is now, there is no better way, if you want to recapture the city captured by the Song army, then you must pass the hurdle of Ye Qing, you must fight with Ye Qing, and even a battle that can determine the fate of the two countries.

This was not the result he wanted, and in his opinion, as the army he led moved south, the Song army should either seize the time to continue the siege, or send a small force to harass their advance, not as it is now, and actually have a hard-to-face battle with them in the wilderness.

"The Song people lack horses, and they are mainly heavy-step, this is just before." Wanyan Shoudao put down the will in his hand, twisted his eyebrows and continued to analyze: "Since Ye Qing dares not to hide the whereabouts of his army without hiding it, and puts on a position to fight with us, he must have relied on it, but now, ...... Our scouts still don't know how many cavalry and infantry there are in the army led by Ye Qing. ”

"General......." Mou Yan looked at Wan Yan Shoudao, who was a little worried, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Otherwise, I will personally take the scouts to investigate tomorrow?" If it is really as Jeju Defender Zhang Zhongyan said, Ye Qing's army has been active in the area of Peach Blossom Mountain, then we are now only a distance of more than 100 miles and less than 200 miles away from Ye Qing's army. ”

"What do you mean...... Will Ye Qing sneak up on us? After Yan Shoudao glanced at Qi Shi Lie, who had never spoken, he raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The imperial court ordered the general to pay tribute tomorrow, I'm afraid we can't be distracted from the march, but if we all stay in Qufu, the general is worried that it will give Ye Qing the opportunity to ambush us on the way to Jeju." Mou Yan explained.

Wanyan Shoudao looked at Mou Yan without speaking, and was about to open his mouth to ask Qi Shi Lie Zhizhong, when he heard Qi Shi Lie Zhizhong stand up and say: "When Ye Qing was in the Xia Kingdom, he used to do something desperate, in addition to ambushes, this Ye Qing also has a secret weapon in his hand, and he can pass through Yang in a hundred steps without fail. Listening to the eldest brother of the general, when the Xia Kingdom was in chaos, Ye Qing relied on this weapon to instantly shoot Ren Dejing, the king of Chu in the Xia Kingdom, so that the Xia Kingdom army outside the city had a chance to break the city. Therefore, the ambush that General Mou was worried about was also what the last general was worried about. ”

"A sharp weapon to pierce Yang in 100 steps? Can't be good at riding and shooting? "When Wan Yan Shoudao was in Yanjing, he had heard Yan Jing tell him personally, but because he had never seen that weapon, even Wan Yan Jing only knew its power, but he didn't know what it was.

"Definitely. At the beginning, Ren Dejing, the king of Chu in the Xia Kingdom, was killed by an "arrow", and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had personally investigated his wounds, but did not find arrows and other objects, but only found a blood hole in his chest, I don't know what caused it, but it was almost exactly the same as when Ye Qing sent me to the Great Jin Kingdom, and the death of Wan Yan Ren and Wan Yan Xian was almost identical. It is precisely because of this that it was determined that Ye Qing had a weapon in his hand that should be more powerful than our bow and arrow, bow and crossbow. Qi Shi Lie said.

Wanyan Shoudao nodded thoughtfully, he naturally knew about what happened in Xishan back then, but because it involved grievances between the royal family, so while everyone was secretive, this matter was not investigated to the end, so it was over.
