Chapter 331: Ma Yu Mountain

"The plan to occupy Yanyun?" Zhang Zongyan was taken aback.

At that moment, Wu Jue handed over the official document to Zhang Zongyan, and Zhang Zongyan also read it carefully.

"Where is Wanyan Zongbi now?" Liu Qi turned around at this moment and asked the soldiers beside him.

"The news we got yesterday is that Wanyan Zongbi has led his 180,000 troops to the Gaozhou area, and will soon go to Enzhou!" A pro-soldier beside him hurriedly said.

"Gaozhou, Enzhou! It seems that Wanyan Zongbi's army is not very far from Zhongjing! Liu Qi said.

The Zhongjing he is talking about is the Zhongjing Dading Mansion of the Liao State and the Zhongjing of the Jin State now.

Originally, two months ago, Yue Fei and Liu Qi had already gone north, and they wanted to block Jin Wushu on the grassland, but Jin Wushu led his troops to Shangjing, which was once Liao, to stop the Khitan rebellion in Shangjing, Liao. It was only now that the Golden Vulture came in the direction of Zhongjing.

"Where has Wan Yanchang's army gone?" Liu Qi said again.

"Wan Yanchang's army is also coming in the direction of Zhongjing! Wan Yanchang has a large number of infantry, so the marching speed is a little slow, and I am afraid it will take more than ten days to reach Zhongjing! Wan Yanchang seems to have known the news of our arrival, and he wants to surround us with the Golden Vulture Technique! "The pro-soldier said.

"He wants to encircle us? Hmph, I'm afraid we're going to destroy the Golden Vulture first! Liu Qi sneered.

"General, we only have 40,000 soldiers and horses, and we need General Yue's cooperation to be able to deal with Jin Wushu! General Yue doesn't know if he can survive Ma Yu Mountain? If General Yue crossed Mayu Mountain and suddenly attacked Jin Wushu from the rear, Jin Wushu would definitely not be our opponent. Zhang Zongyan had also finished reading the official document at this moment, and said.

"With the ability of General Yue and the forbidden army, they will be able to come out of Mayu Mountain! The order is given, and the whole army is heading north! We're going to have a big battle with the Golden Vulture Technique! Liu Qi said.

At that moment, tens of thousands of cavalry began to head towards the north, and there were still 30,000 cavalry not far from Liu Qi, and at this moment, these 30,000 cavalry also began to go to the north after receiving orders.

******

The Inner Mongolia of the Song Dynasty was completely different from the Inner Mongolia of later generations.

During the Song Dynasty, it belonged to the Khitans, not the Mongols.

It's not all grasslands, there are countless forests and countless cities.

In the 200 years since the establishment of the Khitan state, there are a total of "five capitals", namely Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, Zhongjing Dading Mansion, Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion, Xijing Datong Mansion, Nanjing Xijin Mansion, the Khitan people have established five huge urban agglomerations with Wujing as the center, and Shangjing Linhuang Mansion and Zhongjing Dading Mansion are in the direction of Inner Mongolia now. The rise of the Jurchens also occupied these places, which are still well-known cities in the world. After the rise of the Mongols, it was all destroyed in the hands of the Mongols, and Inner Mongolia really turned from a prosperous place to a barren land, a place for the Mongols to graze, and there were no more cities.

To the west of Zhongjing in the Liao Kingdom, here is the Mayu Mountain Range on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, which is also the birthplace of the Khitan people.

Legend has it that the ancestor of the Khitan people was a hunter in the Mayu Mountain, he was hunting in the deep mountains, and met a fairy who came from the Tianshan Mountains on a white ox, and the ancestors of the Khitan people married this fairy and gave birth to eight sons, and these eight sons are the ancestors of the Khitan Eight Divisions.

The area around Mt. Mayu is forested, and it is more than 800 miles from west to east.

After more than 200 years, the Khitan people have also changed from primitive to civilized. In the middle and late stages of the Liao Kingdom, even the Khitans did not dare to enter the depths of the forest, this was already a place of death, and it was difficult to come out if they entered it.

At this moment, in this boundless forest, countless cavalry are trekking inside.

There were trees everywhere, and they couldn't ride their horses at all, and most of them had already dismounted from their horses and led them forward.

At the front of the line, hundreds of soldiers were clearing the way.

They had to cut down the smaller trees, they had to cut down the thorns in front of them, and they had to build bridges if they touched a river.

There were no other human figures in the woods, only countless animals.

At night, when the soldiers rested, they were all at risk of being attacked by beasts.

Here they could not distinguish the road, and only the warriors could point out the approximate direction by climbing up the trees and watching the sun from the top of the trees.

There were 40,000 people, and they were just trekking here......

In the center of the procession, an unusually ordinary-looking man was leading his horse forward, and his clothes turned out to be the generals of the army.

Behind him were two generals and more than a dozen personal soldiers, who were also leading their horses forward.

"Brother Yue, do you really let Yun'er be a soldier who opens the way?" The general next to him suddenly spoke.

"Not bad!" The ordinary-looking man nodded.

"But Yun'er is born with divine power, not much worse than me, it's a pity to let him be a small soldier who opens the way!" The general next to him said.

"Humph! I didn't kill him on the spot, it's already cheap! The ordinary-looking man snorted coldly.

It turned out that this ordinary-looking man was Yue Fei, the commander of the forbidden army, and the general next to him was his fellow countryman and subordinate Dong Xian.

The "Yun'er" they are talking about is Yue Yun, the son of the famous Yue Fei in history!

Yue Fei left Xiangzhou with Zhao Chen and came all the way to Hanzhong, and then Yue Fei was named the envoy of Henan and went to Henan and Hedong. Yue Fei took the opportunity to return to his hometown and brought his wife and son to Hedong, and they were also among the Hedong rebels.

The ancients married very early, and Yue Fei was no exception, he had Yue Yun at the age of fifteen.

Now Yue Fei is twenty-nine years old, and Yue Yun is fourteen years old.

Over the years, Yue Yun has been staying in the Hedong Righteous Army and has not heard from him for a long time.

This time Yue Fei attacked Datong, and then he led the army to the grassland, but when they were on the grassland, they suddenly ran into Yue Yun, who had joined the army.

Yue Fei was immediately furious, in his opinion, Yue Yun had been in the Righteous Army for a while, and now he was a member of the Righteous Army, how could he leave rashly, this was a violation of military law, he was going to kill Yue Yun immediately, or Dong Xian stopped Yue Fei. Dong Xian said that Yue Yun was only fourteen years old, and the military law of the rebel army was not as strict as that of the regular army, so there were many cases of those rebel soldiers leaving suddenly.

Although Yue Fei did not kill Yue Yun on the spot, he ordered Yue Yun to go to the front and open the way with some of the rest of the soldiers. In the army, the task of opening the road is extremely difficult, and sometimes you will die if you are not careful.

At this moment, Dong Xian was persuading Yue Fei.

"Yun'er is strong in martial arts, you can seal him an official position first, and let him make contributions." Dong Xian said again.

"After anyone joins the army, they must first become a small soldier, and then slowly rise up, and my Yue Fei's son is no exception! He is my son, and I must be even more strict, so that others will not say that I am bending the law for personal gain. Yue Fei said coldly.

"Brother Yue, as the saying goes, a virtuous person does not avoid relatives, Yun'er can be outstanding, why do you have so many scruples?" Dong Xiandao.

"I'm a military commander, and I don't know how many people have their eyes on me on weekdays! Only when I do things impartially can I win the hearts of the army and be qualified to lead the army to fight against the enemy! If I do things unjustly, and the soldiers will disobey me in the first place, how can I win the battle? If Yue Yun really establishes meritorious deeds and is convincing, I will naturally promote him! Moreover, as my son, he has already taken a lot of advantages, and the generals in the army have taken care of him, if I take care of him again, what kind of system will I become? Yue Fei said.

Dong Xian shook his head and said no more.

The 40,000-strong army marched forward with difficulty, they had been walking for more than ten days, but they still did not get out of this wood.

Their food was gradually insufficient, and under such circumstances, Yue Fei ordered that they should continue to march at night, and that they should not rest for more than two hours every day.

On the night march, the task of the soldiers who opened the way in front of them was even more arduous.

It was not until the morning of the eighth day of the fourth month that the army was marching, when suddenly the forest seemed to come to an end, and endless mountains appeared in front of it.

There is also countless snow at the top of the mountains!

It's cold in the north, and even in April, the snow on the top of the mountain still hasn't melted, and maybe the snow on the top of this mountain will never melt.

After seeing this continuous mountain range, there was a cheer in the army.

Everyone knows that as long as they cross this mountain, they will be able to come to the other side of the mountain, which is not far from Zhongjing.

Now the army picks up speed and heads towards the mountains.

The terrain gradually became higher, and in the afternoon I came halfway up the mountain, and at this moment I could already see scattered snow.

By dusk, the snow was already getting more and more, the wind was howling, and the temperature was extremely low.

But there are still enough clothes for the forbidden army! They left Datong at the beginning of February, and it was snowing heavily that day, and then they still carried those clothes along the way, and now these clothes finally worked.

They walked forward in thick clothes, and at this moment, Yue Fei and Dong Xian also came to the front of the army.

The road was extremely difficult, Yue Fei and Dong Xian began to worry about the situation ahead, and when necessary, they both had to open the road in person.

"Dashuai, I ran into a mountain pass in front of you! But that pass is hard to get through! Two of our soldiers went to open the way, but they were buried in the snow and couldn't get out! At this moment, a soldier ran up to Yue Fei and said loudly.

"What? I'm going to see for myself! Yue Fei said hurriedly.

At that moment, Yue Fei strode forward, and after walking for a short time, the snow became thicker and thicker!

The snow almost buried Yue Fei's legs, and after a few more steps, he saw the soldiers who were opening the way, and also saw a fourteen-year-old boy among them.

Although the boy was his son, he was much more handsome than he was, and seemed to have inherited the appearance of his wife. Although Yue Fei is average, he has outstanding skills, his wife is virtuous and beautiful, and she is a famous beauty in Xiangzhou.

Yue Yun didn't greet him at this moment, he just lowered his head, and didn't even want to look at Yue Fei.

Yue Fei didn't pay attention to him, just glanced at him and said, "What about the two soldiers?" Why don't you save them? ”

An adjutant stood up and said, "Dashuai, we have been looking for a long time, but we can't find them at all. ”

Yue Fei frowned, he lifted the silver spear, and walked towards the snow in front of him alone.

"Be careful, big handsome." Yue Yun next to him gritted his teeth and said suddenly.

Yue Fei nodded slightly, feeling a little warm in his heart, and moved forward cautiously at the moment.
