Chapter 1298: Reality

Lin Jue sighed, "I know you're going to ask this question, but in fact, we don't have much choice. From the perspective of our own safety, saving the Jurchens is tantamount to saving ourselves. Of course I don't want to help them, but if they are trapped here, will we get out alive? From the overall situation, the Jurchens and the Great Zhou are still allies who joined forces to attack Liao, if the Jurchens are trapped here, and then surrounded and annihilated by Yelu Zongyuan because of the lack of food, then the Jurchens will be completely defeated, and the Liao people will be able to deal with the imperial court soldiers and horses. That kind of outcome is not what we want to see. The reason why we helped Yang Jun in the south a few times was not precisely because we were worried that the defeat of the imperial court would lead to the result of the backlash against the Great Zhou itself? If Yelu Zongyuan eases up, he will definitely report the Great Zhou, and the people of my Great Zhou will be devastated. So judging from the current overall situation, in fact, helping the Jurchens is helping the people of the Great Zhou. Don't let the situation get out of balance in an instant. Of course, this is not a wise move in the long run. The Jurchens are by no means good, and I firmly believe in this at the moment. However, the situation is already like this, and Da Zhou has been embroiled in this unwise war, which is irreversible. We can only take one step at a time, and at least eliminate the visible dangers. The future will have to be done in the future, and if we don't do it now, I'm afraid we won't even see the future. ”

Sun Dayong, Gao Muqing, Bai Bing and others nodded secretly. Indeed, the situation is too complicated to be on the right side. It seems wrong to help anyone, but it also seems wrong not to help. As Lin Jue said, everything has entered a wrong track, the imperial court has made a wrong decision and intervened in this wrong war, so everything that follows can only go down this path. It is wrong to help the Jurchens, and it is also wrong to help the Liao, so is it right to help Yang Jun? At this moment, I am afraid that the position adopted can only be to help myself. Again, however, this seems wrong for the bigger picture.

They could feel Lin Jue's entanglement and helplessness, and they couldn't be like this in their own hearts.

The entire Jurchen army immediately took action, and the whole army began to pack up. In less than half an hour, the Jurchen army had already walked in the valley to the south and began to head to the land of Shannan.

Helongshan is high in the north and low in the south, presenting a long and narrow terrain from north to south. The mountain is steep and difficult to navigate at first, but the further south you go, the steeper it gets. The main peak is only about 500 meters, not to mention these peaks in the south, most of them are about 2300 hills, continuous and soothing. After a few hours of difficult trek at first, by the evening the march of the Jurchen army had become less difficult. Although it cannot be said to be easy, this kind of mountain march is not too difficult for the Jurchens who are accustomed to the high mountains and deep valleys of Changbai Mountain.

The sun will set and the stars and moon will rise. The fall of night could not stop the march of the Jurchen army. Because he wanted to buy time as much as possible, Wanyan Aguda gave the order to march overnight. So in the starry night, a long dragon of torches lit up the mountains, and the army traveled like a flowing river of flames through the rugged and difficult mountains.

The night's arduous trek finally came to an end at the beginning of the rising sun. Ahead was the last hill, for there was no longer a hill on the other side, and from the valley there was already a faint view of the verdant green plains in the distance.

Although the Jurchen generals and soldiers had only eaten one meal all day yesterday and all night last night, they were all hungry and dizzy, sweating profusely, and tired as if they were about to fall apart. However, by this time, everyone was still in good spirits. Because the truth is about to be revealed, whether the land south of the mountain is an ocean, or the situation as Lin Jue demonstrated, no one knows, everyone wants to know.

Wanyan Aguda's heart was also apprehensive, and he rushed up to the last hill surrounded by dozens of generals. Look to the mountains

Look down. Immediately laughed happily, and admired Lin Jue in his heart.

Beneath the hill, on either side is a vast ocean of land several miles long. Garbage trees everywhere, a mess. Apparently the flood has hit here. In between, however, more than two miles wide, was a green wilderness. Obviously, the flood has reached the end of the crossbow. As Lin Jue demonstrated, the flood did not close at the foot of the mountain, but stopped there, leaving a way out of the mountain. This is the way for everyone to escape.

When a large number of Jurchen soldiers arrived at the top of the mountain, they all shouted and laughed, sang and danced. This path means getting out of trouble, it means getting out of the siege of this damned flood as soon as possible, and the danger of annihilation is lifted, which is certainly worth rejoicing. At the same time, everyone also admired the southerner surnamed Lin. Nanren still has some ability, and he was actually right by him. If it weren't for him, the army wouldn't know where to go.

Wanyan Agu ordered to rest here for a while before going out of the mountain, and everyone also ate a little to quench the hunger in their stomachs. Wanyan Aguda personally brought a small pot of spirits to express his gratitude to Lin Jue. His attitude towards Lin Jue has also become much more enthusiastic.

"Oh, I really didn't expect you to be so capable. I've heard someone say early in the morning that some of you southerners have some skills, what you know about the world without leaving home, what you take advantage of the east wind, strategize in the middle, and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. I didn't believe it at all, I always thought you were talking nonsense, just to scare people. But now, I'm afraid I'm going to change my mind. You have proved right under my nose what it means to win a thousand miles away, and the situation is exactly as you say, as if you saw it with your own eyes. Admire, admire. A glass of wine to you, done! ”

Lin Jue smiled and raised his glass of wine, but there was not much pride in his heart. It is really unwilling to save the Jurchen army from difficulties, but at this moment, it can only be like this. I hope it's not my own trick. In fact, Lin Jue has been thinking about whether this time if the Jurchens are wiped out because they are trapped here, whether it means that the torrent of history that he has been worried about will inevitably happen will be diverted and annihilated, and whether it means that a catastrophe in the Great Zhou has been avoided. If this is the case, then is it the best thing to do to sacrifice one's life to perish the Jurchens here? But Lin Jue finally figured out the final answer to this question in the early hours of the morning.

If the general trend of history is irreversible, and like the parallel world, the Great Zhou will inevitably experience a catastrophe, then the Jurchens may not be the initiators of the catastrophe, but may also be the Liao. Although the historical process of this world is very similar to the real history, there are many differences in the details. And the general trend of history does not refer to the process, but to the result. If the general trend is inevitable and the Great Zhou will experience a catastrophe, then who is the initiator of this catastrophe is not the most important. There may be a pair of invisible hands controlling all this, and the providence in the underworld is just for Da Zhou to endure this calamity. The Jurchens were destroyed, and the Liao people were the initiators of the catastrophe. The Liao State was destroyed, and the Jurchens were the culprits, which should be the correct answer to the so-called historical trend. Therefore, helping the Jurchens get out of trouble is actually not a move to help the Jurchens commit abuse, because the uncertainty in this process is the only point that can be determined, and the final result is the so-called historical inevitability.

Thinking about it like this, although I feel relieved, but I feel powerless. If all this is inevitable, then what role can you play in it? What is the purpose of running back and forth by yourself? Seems to be in vain? If so, there is no point in trying. This decadent and powerless idea made Lin Jue entangled.

But Lin Jue is not a decadent person after all, and at the beginning of his rebirth in this life, he made a vow to reverse the fate of his personal and family life.

And now, all this has risen to the fate of the country and the people. Lin Jue believes that even if manpower is like an ant, it cannot stop the torrent of history, and he cannot be negative because of this, but should work hard to reverse it. Just like their own teachers, the real countrymen are truly respected and remembered by history, and they will not deliberately care about success or failure. Even if there is only one hope, or even no hope, as long as you think you should do it, you must do it.

This idea of knowing that it cannot be done was abandoned by Lin Jue a long time ago. But now Lin Jue, after experiencing countless baptisms of wind and rain, Lin Jue has abandoned his previous ideas. He himself found that he was getting closer and closer to Fang Dunru's solemn and solemn people in thought and behavior. Discovering this made Lin Jue feel unhappy, but made Lin Jue feel happy. Lin Jue really believes that this is his own growth, the closer he gets to and understands the thoughts of those people who look up to the mountains, and understands the original incomprehension, the more because he has been sublimated and self-promoted, which others cannot really understand.

Of course, Lin Jue didn't want to be like his predecessors, and he would have a wordless and regretful ending. Because after all, there are still some things changing, after all, I have reversed the outcome of some things in this life, and reversed the fate of some people. This is like a few fireflies in the dark night, although it is not dazzling, but it is a glimmer of hope. It's like the dark curtain has been torn open with some small openings, or even just needle-like holes. Although the curtain is still there, it at least shows that it is not indestructible, it can be torn apart, it can be pierced. This is the driving force in Lin Jue's heart.

Do it knowing that you can't do it, and if you can do it, you need to do it even more.

……

A few black dots flew into the sky at the beginning of the morning sun, and they flew quickly and landed steadily on Wanyan Aguda's arm. This is the third wave of Haidongqing messengers who flew in on the march.

Before that, the two groups had already sent the news that Wanyan Mingyue, who was left behind in Liaoyang Mansion, had prepared supplies and soldiers and horses and began to face west, and reached Wanyan Aguda. This third wave brings even more good news. In just one day and one night, Wan Yan Mingyue and her rescue soldiers and horses had already crossed Kaiyi County, south of Haibei Prefecture, at the junction of Tokyo Road and Zhongjing Road. That meant that they had entered the wilderness southeast of Nakyo-do. At this rate, they should be able to reach the territory of Daliao Andezhou, south of Xingzhong Province, within two days. And Ande Prefecture is in the southeast of Helongshan, less than 140 miles away from here.

According to this route and progress, in two more days, the Jurchen army will be able to meet Wanyan Mingyue's rescue soldiers and horses in Ande Prefecture and be rescued.

Don't mention the joy in Wanyan Aguda's heart. Things went so smoothly that the crisis of destruction that had loomed over us before was swept away. Wanyan Agu secretly thanked Changshengtian for his protection, and at the same time, he was also grateful to Lin Jue and his sister. He immediately wrote a reply, setting a place for the meeting and the quickest route to reply to his sister. At the end of the letter, Wanyan Aguda hesitated for a moment, but still wrote two sentences.

“…… This time, the sister has made a great contribution and is grateful to her brother. My brother has also brought you a gift, which you will like, and you will be grateful for it when the time comes. Reciprocate, you and my brother and sister depend on each other, and the things you like are brothers, and I will get them for you no matter what......"

After the rest was over, the army drove down the mountain and rushed out of the mountain along the narrow passage. Once a war horse sets foot in the wilderness, the speed of the march is naturally extremely fast. Wanyan Aguda issued an order that the men and horses must not rest at will, and they must rush to Andezhou within two days. More than 100,000 troops marched forward and swept away.
