The golden soldiers went south, the iron hooves shook, and the flow of people was like a tide.

The first thing to bear the brunt of is the land of Youyan, the soldiers and horses come and go like the wind, the light cavalry sentry probes out in all directions, and the states begin to clear the wilderness again.

When the cold wind warms up, the people and soldiers in the north are mentally prepared that the Jurchen Tartars will definitely go south.

Now that they had finally moved, the Jurchens had not been idle for half a year, and their few territories had given them sufficient supplies of money, food, and soldiers.

Under the city of Danzhou, Han Shizhong's eyebrows frowned slightly, looking at the secret letter from the sentinel in front of him, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.

The people and vassal armies driven by the Jurchen Tartars actually rushed to the forefront this time, which is a bit strange and does not conform to the style of the Jurchens. They were the ones who were besieging the city, and they would drive these people to die in front, and the Jurchens would be in front of them when they were marching, because they were confident enough to win the encounters in the wilderness.

What's even more strange is that the pioneer who went south this time turned out to be Yelu Yujian, a Khitan general. And generals like Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Lou did not come to be this pioneer, and Wan Yan Lou did not even move in Zhongjing Mansion.

Han Shizhong pondered for a moment and said to the soldiers beside him: "Send someone to Juyong Pass and tell Zong Ze that this Jurchen southern expedition is likely to divide the troops again, so that he can also prepare there." ”

This pro-soldier is also a veteran of the Western Army, and when he heard this, he said: "Han Shuai, this Jurchen person doesn't still want to gnaw on the hard bone of Juyongguan, right?" You must know that the last time they suffered at Juyong Pass, Ah Guda led the army to Juyong Pass, which gave Yizhou a chance. ”

Han Shizhong shook his head, simply didn't want to think about it, and said: "Don't worry about it, the soldiers will block it, the water will cover it, and Youyan will be a success if you don't lose it." ”

"Can't we just get out?" The soldier asked.

Han Shizhong laughed in his heart, the generals were a little tired of fighting, but he didn't expect the soldiers to be ambitious and want to fight the Great Wall. He rubbed his hands and said, "You still go and tell Zong Ze, be careful and make no mistakes, the Jurchens are used to dividing their troops, so you have to be careful this time." ”

Juyongguan got its name, from the Qin Dynasty, according to legend, when Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, the prisoners, soldiers and forcibly recruited people resided here, taking the meaning of "migrating to the Yongfu".

The situation here is dangerous, connecting Lulong and Jieshi in the east, and Taihang Mountain and Changshan in the west, which is the danger of the world. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers. It has two passes in the north and south, the south is called "Nankou", and the north is called "Juyong Pass".

Xiongguan is stacked, the fortresses are connected, the terrain is high, the valley is deep, the soldiers and horses are full of it, it is really the west gate of Youyan, the model of easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zong Ze is here, gathering the heroes of Yandi, recruiting Yanmin, and practicing day and night.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the young man who was carrying the wooden rolling stones upwards, Zong Ze twisted his beard and smiled: "You go back and tell Han Shizhong, let him rest assured, unless the enemy chief does not go to Juyong Pass, they will not return." ”

After finishing speaking, Zong Ze turned his back and looked at the mountain range and said in a low voice: "Seriously, I hope they will come to fight Juyong Pass, Han Shizhong's subordinates have been recruiting from Qin Long, it has been four years, right?" In the past four years, they first conquered Tibet, and then guarded Youyan, non-stop, and left their hometown. After so many vicious battles, it is inevitable that there will be fatigue. Especially those generals, they are all originally depressed people in the Western Army. Now that the Xia thief is dead and Qin Long is stable, these people haven't had a chance to go back and take a look, right?

My soldiers and horses are different, they are all Youyan men, guarding the land is not only guarding the family, but they are just Jurchen Tartars, and in the past 100 years, Yandi He has been born for a day. Moreover, these soldiers and horses are not the only sons in the family, or have brothers, or have lost both parents, have no bonds, and are bent on making meritorious contributions. ”

The soldiers who came to pass the word were a little sour when he told him about the matter, but he said: "The sect general should not underestimate us Qin Long soldiers, we haven't fought enough in this battle." ”

Zong Ze didn't think it was a pestle, laughed, and said: "If you fight enough, you have to continue to fight, and now that the army is pressing, it's too late to retreat." After repelling the Jurchens, let's wait for the dispatch of the imperial court, Yang Shaozai is a person who loves soldiers, and he will definitely not let you wait for all the bones to be buried in a foreign land. ”

Originally, there was a bit of a disparity in the identities of the two sides, but Zong Ze had a lot of interest in talking today, and Xiao Bing had the courage to continue to ask: "Sect General, how can you say that you have repelled the Jurchens, don't you think that we can fight the Great Wall and go straight to Huining Mansion?" ”

Straight to Huining Mansion? Zong Ze shook his head and said patiently: "Freezing three feet, it is not a day's cold, the Great Song Dynasty has been suppressed by the northern alien race for so many years, and it is not something that can be changed overnight." Lost this Xiongguan and the big city, and went to the north to fight with the Jurchens in the ice and snow? Hold on this time, guard again, maybe it's time to get out of the jam. ”

Zong Ze still has something to say in his heart, that is, Yang Shaozai's new policy, this kind of thing cannot be discussed with the border soldiers.

Zong Ze Jinshi was born and has 20 years of experience in local county politics, so he can certainly see what the new policy is. It's simply earth-shaking, if you can really use iron-fisted means to spread the new deal all over the world, then the Great Song Dynasty may really be able to reproduce the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

In Bei'anzhou, the Jurchen army struggled to move forward on the road from the melting of ice and snow.

Many people, because they were stuck in the mud, were slapped by the Jurchen cavalry.

The Jurchens treated these people as inappropriate, not to mention their clothes, and not to mention their food. They themselves are well-fed and energetic, and they are human beings, even the treatment of war horses is far better than these raw mouths.

Most of the Tartar soldiers were each equipped with two horses, one horse carrying people, and one horse carrying dry grain and cheese wine.

In the area of Huining Mansion, because of the efforts of Yang Pu and others, the Jurchen nobles began to establish laws to alleviate the abuse of local alien people.

But when they arrived on this side, they reverted to their former ferocity, even though it was still nominally the territory of the Kingdom of Jin.

Wherever the Jurchen soldiers and horses passed, there were almost no complete villages, and the roadside was full of naked corpses. Their bloodstained clothes were stripped off by the Jurchens and wrapped around their horses.

Fortunately in the wilderness, once passing through the village, there are Jurchen Tartars galloping back and forth, driving the slaughter as a play, and from time to time there is a rough laughter.

This place is close to Youyan, with the Han and Khitan people as the majority, I don't know how many people cry and scream, struggling. The men were taken captive to work as coolies, the bodies of women and children were left on the side of the road, and under the billowing wolf smoke rising from every pillar in the sky, there was a village being burned.

The Jurchen generals turned a blind eye to it, because when they were Jurchen fighting, especially when attacking cities, they needed a large number of raw mouths to be sent to death in front.

In the past, they used to plunder locally, but after the Great Wall, the Han people began to clear the wilderness, and often not a single living person could see it within a radius of dozens of miles.

So they can only use this way to get raw mouth, carry it on weekdays, and be cannon fodder in wartime.
