1290 Dilemma

"Husband, what's wrong? Do you have nightmares? Gao Muqing sat on the pine needles beside Lin Jue and asked softly with concern.

Lin Jue nodded in panic and said in a dumb voice: "Yes, what a terrible dream." ”

Gao Muqing smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand to hold Lin Jue's head in his arms, and said softly: "Don't worry, husband, it's just a dream." ”

Lin Jue closed his eyes and leaned weakly into Gao Muqing's soft arms, and let out a long sigh. Gao Muqing and Bai Bing glanced at each other with a wry smile, and thought in their hearts: Who would have thought that a character like Fujun would also be so weak. The husband in front of people is always upright and wise, and he is confident, I am afraid that only the people around him can see him so weak and decadent at the moment. But it is precisely because of this that the husband is more like a flesh-and-blood person, which is more liked and pitied.

Lin Jue's weakness didn't last long, and soon he sat up straight, looked at the mottled scene of the slanting sun outside penetrating the woods, and said, "What time is it?" How long did I sleep? ”

"It's just over half of the time, and my husband has only slept for half an hour." Bai Bing passed the kettle.

Lin Jue took two sips, hung the kettle around his waist, got up and said, "Has Sun Dayong been here?" Is there any news from the Jurchens under the mountain? ”

Gao Muqing shook his head and said, "No, I don't think there is any news." The Jurchens are also frightened, and they should not be able to wander in the mountains casually. ”

Lin Jue was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the forest, and someone rushed over. Bai Bing and Gao Muqing vigilantly grabbed the blade on their waists at the same time, but when they saw the slanting sunlight pillar in the forest, a tall figure appeared from the side path. It was Sun Dayong who came. Only then did the two women let go of their grips on the blades.

"Your Excellency, are you awake?" Sun Dayong lowered his voice and shouted, his face covered with hot sweat.

Lin Jue walked out of the shack and said, "Brother Sun, what's wrong?" ”

Sun Dayong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I have seen my lord, the Jurchens have moved, there are hundreds of Jurchens crawling along the hillside towards where we are, their movements are very fast, and I am afraid that they will arrive in half an hour." I don't know what the intention is, so I ask the lord to show me. ”

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, frowned and groaned. Gao Muqing came out of the shack and frowned: "How can the Jurchens climb the mountain?" And when the flood did not enter the valley, what did they do to climb up the mountain? Could it be that we have really found our traces? Trouble with us? We need to be ready. ”

Sun Dayong nodded and said: "I also feel strange, but since I am here, I don't have to be afraid, I have already asked my brothers to prepare to meet the enemy." As soon as they approached the slope below the forest, they killed them all. ”

Gao Muqing nodded and was about to speak, when Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "Don't do this, the brothers immediately retreat to the depths of the forest, don't provoke them." I don't think they're here to trouble us, and they don't even know we're here. ”

"How so? So what are they doing here? And specifically in our direction. Sun Dayong asked with a frown.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "If they find out about us, do you think they will only send a few hundred people here?" I think they came here because of the topography, and they valued the height of the north peak of Yongshan Mountain, just like us. They also wanted to see what was going on outside. Mu Qing is right about one thing, these Jurchens are afraid of it now, although they escaped the catastrophe of the flood, but they were trapped in this and Longshan, and they didn't know what to do. Why should we bother them? Let them be given here. ”

Everyone was skeptical, and Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "Immediately order, retreat to the forest on the north side, and don't have to entangle with them." ”

Sun Dayong was ordered to leave, and more than 100 guards of the Luoyan Army quickly gathered and quietly withdrew to the northern hillside. Bai Bing was ordered to go to the edge of the woodland to monitor the movements of the Jurchens, and soon after she rushed back to report to Lin Jue, the Jurchens did not even enter the forest, and went directly to the direction of the cliff. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, obviously Lord Lin's guess was correct.

……

Lin Jue's judgment was basically correct. Wanyan Aguda received the information in time, and led the army to flee into the Helong Mountain in time, and at the mountain pass, he saw the monstrous torrent rolling in and washing over the side of the mountain, and his heart was both frightened and happy.

Wanyan Agu thought about this matter, and couldn't help but admire Yelu Zongyuan's decisiveness and cruelty, and would rather break the embankment, disregard the lives of his own people, and let himself stop here, which is really staggering. Wanyan Agu didn't think there was anything wrong with Yelu Zongyuan doing this, but admired Yelu Zongyuan very much. As the saying goes, those who do big things are not informal, although it seems inappropriate for Yelu Zongyuan to do this, but if he succeeds, his army of more than 100,000 will be buried in the flood, then he will be equivalent to victory. His army of more than 100,000 is all the people of the Jurchen tribe, if the whole army is annihilated here, there will be no more strength to fight, and he can rest easy.

In addition to admiration, Wanyan Agu Da wanted to laugh again. Because he learned the information in advance, he escaped the catastrophe. Otherwise, now I am afraid that I and hundreds of thousands of brothers are already corpses in the quagmire, carrion in the mouths of vultures. However, after laughing, I felt that I couldn't laugh anymore, because although I escaped a catastrophe, now that hundreds of thousands of troops are trapped in this and Longshan, I am afraid that it is not a good thing.

Originally, the supply of the army was only less than three days, but now in this situation, I am afraid that there will be floods everywhere outside, and I don't know when it will subside. More than 100,000 people are completely trapped in this and Longshan. How good is that? You have to find a way out, otherwise everyone will starve to death here? Although it is said that the Jurchens have the ability to catch prey in the mountains, but this is more than 100,000 people, and this is not a big mountain with Longshan, I am afraid that there are no large beasts, even if the hares and pheasants in the mountains are eaten up, I am afraid that it will not be able to feed more than 100,000 people.

In view of this, Wanyan Agu decided to find a way out and make a decision. Of course, he couldn't just break in, he had to know the situation outside, so he locked on the highest peak in the north, where he should be able to see a large area of the situation under the mountain, so in the afternoon, he went with hundreds of relatives and dozens of generals.

Soon, Wanyan Agu and his generals climbed to the top of the cliff. At this moment, it is the time of sunset, and the sun shines on the surface of the water under the mountain, reflecting a dazzling light. The air was filled with the smell of fishy decay, and the hot wind with the stench was blowing up the cliff top, making people almost suffocate their breath.

The tragic situation of the flooded land made Wanyan Aguda and his generals smack their lips and frown.

"Yelu Zongyuan, this dog thief, is really ruthless, and he completely disregards the lives of the people of Liao. Hehe, he's desperate to annihilate us. If this dog thief dares to do this, is he not afraid of God's damnation? I'm afraid he won't be able to do the position of emperor. God tolerates him, and the subjects of the Liao State are afraid that he will not be allowed to do so. Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice.

"The funny thing is that we are unscathed, and his methods have harmed them themselves. This great flood is afraid that many people of Liao will die. As a citizen of Liao, it is really miserable. Their emperors treat them like this, what hope is there? The Jurchen general Ali Bai said in a deep voice.

"Humph! How can there be a good thing in these Liao dogs. If they die, they will die, is it worth regretting? In the future, the Wanyan leader will seize the Liao country, and my Jurchen soldiers and superiors, these Liao dogs will all be reduced to slaves, and I am afraid that they will have to kill a large number of people, so as not to cause them to gather and cause chaos. Yelu Zongyuan killed a group for us first, and we will do it ourselves in the future of the province. Yaru snorted coldly.

The generals nodded one after another, in the eyes of everyone, the death of hundreds of thousands of people in Liao is nothing, these people should have died. Yalu Buhua's words represent the voice of the generals, they don't care about the life and death of the people of Liao, and the long-term hatred and oppression make the Jurchens full of hostility towards the Liao and even ordinary people.

Yelu Zongyuan didn't want to get involved in this topic, he actually had his own plans in his heart. If he seized the country of Liao and became the emperor himself, then these people of Liao would also become his own people, so how could they be slaughtered at will? However, at this moment, he did not explain this, he needed his soldiers to maintain hostility towards the Liao, so that it would be easier to fight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we don't care what Yelu Zongyuan did, but now we are in trouble again. The dry food we brought with us was only enough for two days, and although Yelu Zongyuan's treacherous plan did not succeed, and we did not receive the slightest harm from the flood, we are trapped here at the moment. If you look at the west, I thought that the west of Xingzhong Mansion would not be affected by the flood, but from here, I can see that more than ten miles to the west is full of floods. The Daling River has been washed away, and the west of this mountain must be a Ze country. I had planned to go west through this mountain, but I am afraid that it will also fall through. Yelu Zongyuan said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Yelu Zongyuan, and indeed, there was an ocean on both sides of the Daling River to the west. When the flood water poured into the Daling River, the swelling water broke the embankment of the Daling River. Now it is not a problem of overflow, but the embankment of the Daling River has been damaged in many places, so that the water of the Daling River itself overflows. The river continued to gush out on both sides, causing the flat land west of Hexingzhongfu and even the foot of the mountain west of Helongshan to flood.

Yelu Zongyuan originally wanted to come here to check whether the west side of Helongshan had been flooded. If the west of Helongsan had not been hit by floods, then it would have been possible to cross Helongsan and go directly to the area west of Heungjungfu. Attack just a few cities to get provisions. But now, the situation in the visual inspection and west of Yongsan is not optimistic.

Although he can't see the situation dozens of miles away, he can only infer it based on the visual distance of more than ten miles, but now Yelu Zongyuan can't take the risk of betting. His army only has more than two days of dry food reserves, and if he spends these two precious days of material consumption on crossing Helongshan, if he arrives at the west pass of Helongshan and finds an ocean outside, then he will run out of ammunition and food, and there will be no room for maneuver, it will be a huge crisis. It was a big joke that he was not drowned by the flood of Yelu Zongyuan, but he was trapped alive in this mountain.

"What the big leader said is extremely true, it's a pity that we don't have the eye of heaven, otherwise we can know the situation outside Longshan, and the current situation is really tricky." Yaru frowned.

The generals frowned and were silent, and they all felt a little worried in their hearts.

Wanyan Aguda didn't want everyone to be fluctuated because of this, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't worry too much, can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?" We still have time. It is not known whether the flood waters will quickly subside after the sun has been shining in the sun for the past two days. We can even avoid the flood, which shows that the Immortal Heaven blesses us, what are we afraid of? Let's go, go back to the bottom of the mountain first, and then think about it in the long run. ”

The generals nodded one after another and said, "Yes, with the protection of the Immortal Heaven and the presence of the Great Chief, there is nothing to worry about." ”
