Xia Kingdom, Wurahai City.

After several burns by the Mongol army, the walls of Wurahai City are gone. The military camp built for the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division in the past is only ruined.

According to the peace treaty drawn up between the Xia Kingdom and the Mongols a few years ago, the city of Wurahai could not be garrisoned by male soldiers. In order to prevent arousing the suspicion of the Mongols, there was no need to set up the disabled Montenegrin Weifu Military Division.

Therefore, it has only been three or four years, and the city of Wurahai has been reduced to a ruined city.

In fact, if it is well managed, Wurahai City can also be regarded as a prosperous commercial city. Because this is a rare plain in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. In an agrarian-based economy, the Houtao Plain, where the city is located, is a good place for farming.

Since the Han Dynasty, counties have been set up here. However, after a long period of war, it gradually fell into disuse. Later, the Liao State was established, and the Xia State was entrenched in Hexi. With Montenegro as the dividing line, the Xia State occupies the back set, and the Liao State occupies the front set, and it has become a border pass.

The border between the Jin State and the Xia State, which inherited the mantle of the Liao State, has not changed!

The Hetao Plain is still divided into two and becomes a border pass. At the same time, it is also close to Mobei, and there is no danger to defend! When the enemy in the north is strong, it is more likely to be a nuisance.

Originally, when the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro was still there, some fields were developed here to supply the army and the merchants. But after the military division was withdrawn, the place was completely turned into a wasteland. Not to mention people, even pheasants and wild dogs are rare.

But in the past two days, the figure of army scouts has gradually appeared on the boundary of the Wurahai.

"Further on, it's Montenegro. Beyond it, it was the land of the Mongols. Gilasyi spread out a simplified version of the marching map and headed for the Turgan Road, which was riding slowly ahead.

After the battle of crossing the river, the Yuan army did not fight a hard battle. It has been smooth sailing all the way and has occupied the entire Xia Kingdom. But the top brass of the Yuan army knew that the current success was just that the Mongol army had not yet reacted.

When he has an idea, he will definitely not watch Da Yuan annex the entire Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, the great battle in the future must be in the north.

Therefore, soldiers and horses were sent to the north to inspect in advance, and in case of an accident, it was better to let the high-level of the Yuan army know in advance.

"Is this Montenegro? Why isn't it dark at all? Turgan looked at the lush mountains in front of him, a little puzzled.

In fact, Montenegro is not a mountain, but a collective name for a mountain range. In later generations, its name was Yinshan. Starting from the west, there are Wolf Mountain, Wula Mountain, to the central Daqing Mountain, Gray Tengliang Mountain, the south is Liangcheng Mountain, Huashan Mountain, and the east is Dama Mountain.

It is about 1200 kilometers long, with an average altitude of 1500~2000 meters and an altitude of 2000~2400 meters at the top of the mountain. Because it is located on the boundary between the monsoon and non-monsoon regions, the climate on the east and west sides of the mountain range is very different.

The eastern part is relatively humid, with forests and grasslands. The western part of the country has less water vapor and is perennially dry. The stone has weathered over a long period of time, revealing a black-brown surface, giving it the name Montenegro.

Jila Siyi looked at the black mountain and quipped, "Look at this mountain is so dark, isn't it the Black Mountain?" ”。

"I heard that the east used to be the Xijing of the Jin Kingdom?" , one of the team members who followed them spoke.

"That's a pretty rich place, isn't it?" ，

"So what? Hasn't it also become a ranch for the Mongolian barbarians? ”，

"I heard from the clerk's class that Jin is a big country in the east, and its population is a hundred times more prosperous than Mongolia. Why is it so unbeaten? Several people discussed as they approached Montenegro.

"What's the use of thriving? Armament is slack, and it can only be beaten! Jila Siyi thought of Xia Guo and said loudly.

"I heard from my ancestors that Da Liao was once driven to the west by the Jin Kingdom. Now that Jin Guo seems to have no way out! Turgan sighed a little.

Sometimes I have to sigh that the world is impermanent!

When the Liao State was still there, there were always people in the imperial court who mentioned the return to the east and the restoration of the country. But that's more of an empty slogan, just talk, and no one really takes it seriously.

But now, in his lifetime, Turgan has really returned to the east. It's a pity that he didn't come back as a Liao Min!

However, he finally met the enemy who had driven away Da Liao, Dajin.

But now this enemy is weak, and on the iron hooves of the Mongols in the north, he has suffered defeat after defeat. He now felt that even if the Jin Kingdom was attacked by the Mongols, it would not be surprising that the Kingdom would be completely destroyed.

While he was thinking about this, one of the team members suddenly said urgently: "Shhh Listen, there seems to be movement. ”。 Now the Houtao Plain is completely undefended wasteland, and if the Mongols have any arrangements, they do not know.

Therefore, their mission this time is more like a pathfinder.

Fortunately, along the way, there were no traces except for abandoned villages and decomposing corpses, and they walked to the border between the two countries of Xia and Jin unharmed.

At this time, hearing the reminder of the team, Turgan also listened attentively.

At first, I didn't hear any movement, but soon, I seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves. Correspondingly, there are also shouts.

"Run! Run! ”，

"Chasing! They're after it! ”，

Turgan was wondering who it was, when a group of figures suddenly appeared in a mountain road ahead. It was a bunch of ragged beggars, unkempt and unkempt, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

When they saw Turgan's cavalry attire, the group immediately stiffened. As if thinking about what to do, the sound of horses' hooves behind the mountain road came close again.

"Run!" Seeing Turgan they slowly drew their bows, and a beggar said loudly. Then the men ran in both directions, but Turgan did not pursue.

Then a troop of horsemen appeared where the beggars had been standing.

Just looking at the armor, Turgan recognized the other party as a native of Jin. However, the braids on his head are obviously Mongols again.

"Shoot!" , Turgan they have long drawn the bow to the full, vigilant. As soon as he saw the figure of the other party, he immediately loosened his hand.

With no intention to win with heart, the opponent's team of eight people was immediately shot off the horse. Turgan divided four more men, in groups of twos and twos, to chase after the fleeing beggars.

Then came to the group of Mongolians wearing Jin Guo armor, and some team members dismounted to investigate the live mouth. A few of those who had been shot wounded but could not die for a moment were dragged to Turgan and Gilasyi.

"Ask them in Mongolian, where are you from, who are you chasing?" , Turgan said to a team member who had fled from Mobei to Dayuan in the early years.

At first, these Mongolian soldiers were quite tough, but after wiping the necks of two people in full view, the two Mongolians who were still alive told everything they knew.

According to them, they were a small tribe on the eastern side of the Black Mountains that were dependent on the Wangu tribe. The population is not large, and it used to live on the border between Wanggubu and Jinguo. However, as Temujin broke the defense line of Xijing Province, the people of Jin Province living in Xijing Province became herdsmen of various tribes.

These men chased the fleeing herdsmen to the west of Montenegro.
