More than ninety miles south of Helongshan, a mountain named Fengtai Mountain stands tall. It is actually an exaggeration to say that it stands tall, after all, the highest peak of Fengtai Mountain is only more than 600 meters above sea level. But compared to the Helong Mountain to the north of it, it is also a step higher.

At this moment, a huge cavalry soldier and horse were marching south along the wilderness on the east side of Fengtai Mountain. The early summer sun was shining overhead, the temperature was very hot, and the knights on the horse were already in low spirits, and the weather was hot, and they were even more depressed.

This soldier and horse was the Jurchen army that had fled from the flood from Helong Mountain. They had been walking for a whole day and a morning from Helongshan. The soldiers and horses were weary and exhausted. If at this time, even if there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses suddenly attacked them, the army of more than 100,000 people would collapse and disintegrate immediately, without any combat effectiveness.

Ahead was a small valley with dense shade, and Wanyan Aguda, who was at the forefront of the procession, accepted the advice of his men and decided to let the soldiers and horses rest here to escape the midday heat. After the order was given, all the Jurchen soldiers rolled their saddles and dismounted, lying on the ground with their mouths wide open and gasping. The Jurchens, who have lived in and around the Changbai Mountains for a long time, have a strong ability to resist the cold, but they do not seem to have much resistance to the heat. In addition, they are all on empty stomachs, so one by one they become extremely decadent.

"Feed and water the horses." Wanyan Aguda gave the order. Someone began to feed the horses with beans and rice, and the Jurchen soldiers watched the horses chew their food, swallowing their saliva one by one, eager to rush up and snatch a few mouthfuls from the horses' mouths. However, the great chief had decreed that all the food should be left for the horses, for they had to rely on them to get on the road, and the horses were much more important than men at this time.

At the edge of a forest in front of him, Wanyan Agu drank all the water in his skin, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and frowned at the undulating wilderness terrain in front of him, his expression was very serious.

"How far is it from Ander? It stands to reason that we're supposed to be there. Didn't the news sent by Hai Dongqing not long ago mean that they had already crossed the Xiaoling River this month? How is it gone? Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be asking the people around him.

"Great Chief, are we going the wrong way? We should go from the wilderness to the east. You shouldn't have listened to the words of the Great Zhou man surnamed Lin. Marching from the side of the mountain, maybe with Princess Jinhua they missed it is not known. General Hulu said in a deep voice.

Wanyan Agu turned his head and glared at Hu Lu with a stern gaze, and Hu Lu hurriedly shut up. Wanyan Agu frowned and looked into the distance for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Go and invite Lin Jue." ”

Lin Jue arrived not long after, his cheeks bulging, obviously eating something. The lack of supply for the Jurchens has nothing to do with Lin Jue. Lin Jue's supplies on hand were still sufficient. There were still a lot of compressed sugar cakes, so Lin Jue couldn't afford to starve with them. only

However, you have to be careful when eating, and you can't eat openly in front of the Jurchens, otherwise you are afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the Jurchens. When Shi Cai ordered to rest, Lin Jue and the others hid on the side of the woods to eat dry food, and it was obvious that the dry food had not been swallowed at the moment.

Lin Jue swallowed the sugar cake in his mouth and bowed to Wanyan Agu. Wanyan Agu said with a big smile: "Lin Jue, where are we here?" Something seems wrong. It stands to reason that we should be in Anderland. ”

Lin Jue waved his hand, finished his face, and handed the sheepskin map in his hand to Lin Jue. Lin Jue spread the map on a stump, looked at it for a moment, pointed to a place with his finger and said, "Great Chief, we are currently on the southeast side of Fengtai Mountain. Andora is just to the southeast. If Ling Mei's marching speed is not affected, it should soon converge. ”

Wanyan Agu was overjoyed and said, "Really? That's great, we're not on the wrong track? ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "We're not wrong, this is a shortcut to Andezhou." But I don't know if Ling Mei is in trouble. You must know that although Andezhou is a small state capital, it is also a city of the Liao people. Before that, I asked the big leader to tell Ling Mei not to alarm the Liao defenders in Andezhou, and only cross the Xiaoling River from the north to the east, I don't know if they have done so. If this can't be the case, if you are entangled by the Liao army in Andezhou, it will be a little troublesome. ”

Wanyan Agu was shocked and said, "How can you be born then?" If you are entangled by the Liao defenders in Andezhou, wouldn't it be bad? ”

Lin Jue muttered: "It's not bad, how many soldiers and horses can be stationed in Andezhou?" Didn't Ling Mei bring 30,000 people to escort the food truck? The Liao army in Andezhou did not have the ability to pose a threat to them. However, there is a certain amount of time to procrastinate. ”

Wanyan Agu nodded slightly, looked back at the appearance of his soldiers and horses, and was actually very anxious in his heart. The delay was actually very fatal, and it had been three and a half days since his soldiers and horses set off from the eastern side of Helongshan Mountain, which exceeded the expected three days. The soldiers ate only three meals, and a thin meal and two slices of bread a day barely maintained the strength of the horse. If you can't meet with the sister's response soldiers and horses, I'm afraid you can only kill the horse and eat.

Lin Jue looked at Wanyan Aguda's face, and thought to himself: Wanyan Aguda is nothing more than that, in this situation, he is also panicked, and his brain is not bright. He said a few words, and he believed.

"Don't worry, big leader, I dare to pack a ticket Ling Mei must not have encountered the entanglement of the Liao army." Lin Jue said with a smile.

Wanyan Agu frowned and said, "How can you see it?" ”

Lin Jue smiled: "It's very simple, the last time Ling Mei contacted the big leader Yihai Dongqing was an hour ago." ”

Wanyan Agu nodded and said, "Exactly, what does that mean?" ”

Lin Jue smiled and pointed to the sky in the southeast direction and said, "Look, the Haidongqing messenger is here again. An hour flew back and forth, indicating that Ling Mei and we were not far apart. Hai Dongqing's flight

I don't know how fast it is, but I guess Ling Mei and they should be twenty or thirty miles away. Soon they will be able to converge. ”

Wanyan Aguda looked in the direction of his finger, and a few small black dots in the southeast sky were rapidly approaching, it was the arrival of Haidongqing's messenger. Wanyan Agu whistled loudly, stretched out his right arm, and the three Haidongqing fluttered and landed on Wanyan Aguda's arm. Wanyan Aguda couldn't wait to untie the bamboo tube, took out the letter, and only glanced at it a few times, and then laughed.

"Hahaha, here they are, thirty miles to the southeast. Brothers, our food and grass supplies have arrived, hahaha. ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and they came to inquire one after another. Wanyan Agu Dao: "The brothers are camped on the spot, my clever sister knows that we are too sleepy to walk, so let us camp here and wait for them, they will arrive soon, and they will arrive in less than an hour." Hahaha. ”

When the news came out, everyone was thunderous with joy and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Wanyan Agu simply wrote a reply letter and handed it to Hai Dongqing to fly out. turned around and wanted to talk to Lin Jue, but found that Lin Jue was no longer around.

"Hey, what about Lin Jueren?" Wanyan Agu asked.

"I'm gone, I'm going to the woods." Yalu said in a deep voice.

Wanyan Agu looked into the woods, saw Lin Jue's dashing back, smacked his lips and said softly: "This Lin Jue...... It's not simple. He didn't see the content of the letter, and guessed the situation just by Hai Dongqing's speed and time interval, it's not simple, it's really not simple. ”

General Yalu Buhua nodded slightly: "Yes, this person...... It's amazing, and for some reason, I think he's ...... It's amazing. There is such a person in Da Zhou, big leader, don't you have some thoughts in your heart? ”

Wanyan Agu frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Yalu didn't speak, but General Hulu, who was on the side, said for him: "This guy is so capable, I'm afraid it will be a disaster to keep him." ”

Wanyan Agu's body was shocked, and he turned his head to look at General Hulu. Hu Lu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be angry, the big chief, I'll just say that." ”

Wanyan Agu stared at Hu Lu for a long time, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and he reached out and patted Hu Lu's shoulder and smiled: "I'm not angry, and I don't blame you." You're right, why should I be angry? Such a person in the Great Zhou, will he have to do great things for me in the future? But...... If such a person is used by me, will my Jurchen army be strengthened? We don't have people like that. ”

Yalu Buhua nodded and said: "The big leader is really thinking high, if such a person is recruited for our use, it will be of great benefit to my Jurchen army." Gotta recruit him. ”

Wanyan Agu stroked his beard and smiled. Hulu said, "What if he refuses?" ”

Wanyan Agu smiled and muttered for a moment: "If you don't use it for me, then kill him." If he refuses, he must die. ”
