Chapter 51: The Great Dispersal Pass
"You are Wu Jie, please get up quickly!" Zhao Chen looked at Wu Jie's appearance, and inexplicably felt a little more good in his heart! Maybe it's because of Wu Jie's great name in history, or because his appearance is too similar to the personable "Zhou Yu" in his mind! Therefore, although they had just met, Zhao Chen's voice was already a little more cordial!
"Your Highness has come all the way from Kaifeng here, it's really hard!" Wu Jie stood up, he was also looking at Zhao Chen, and after a while, he smiled.
In his opinion, this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also different, although he is fleeing, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still does not lose his demeanor, he does not look like a fleeing, but like a turbid prince who traveled here and came here!
"Fleeing all the way, that's also a last resort, what do you have to say if you work hard or not!" Zhao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "General Wu, when I was in Kaifeng, my father also mentioned your name!" ”
Since he had just attributed the name of Wu Jie to Song Qinzong, Zhao Chen had a change of heart at this moment and started talking about this topic again.
"Oh, Your Majesty once mentioned the name of the last general?" Wu Jie was also incredulous, and said: "The last general is just a deputy general, and he can actually reach the heavens?" ”
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Although General Wu is a deputy general, he has a good way of governing the army, and my father called you a rising star in the Western Army, thinking that you are not under Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others!" ”
"This ......" Wu Jie stayed there, and after a while, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty really said that?" ”
Zhao Chen said: "I'm the prince, can I still deceive you!" ”
Wu Jie was stunned for a while, laughed, and said, "Your Majesty actually thinks so highly of the last general, and the last general will naturally not disappoint Your Majesty!" Today, the last general is here to assure His Highness that there is a last general in the monk Yuan, and the golden soldiers will never take a step forward! There is a last general, and His Highness will no longer have to flee! ”
Regarding Wu Jie's words, Zhao Chen was skeptical, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll believe you!" General Wu, although you and I are meeting for the first time, I have a sense of familiarity at first sight, don't let me down! ”
Wu Jie said: "This is nature, I will never let His Highness down!" Your Highness, in front of you is the main position of the monk Yuan, and I will meet the Jin soldiers there! Although I only have a few thousand men and horses, the Jurchens connived at 100,000 soldiers and horses and did not want to pass from the front! The position in front is unusually steep, it is dark now, and it is a little difficult to go up, Your Highness, why don't I send someone to escort you to Dasan Pass first, you will wait for the good news of the defeat of the Jin soldiers at the Dasan Pass! ”
This Wu Jie's personality is different, and his words are full of confidence! Zhao Chen knew Wu Jie's name, and he didn't feel anything in his heart, while Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and the others next to him stayed there, they really didn't expect this Wu Jie's arrogance to be so arrogant!
Imagine that Wu Jie's men only have 5,000 soldiers and horses, and tens of thousands of Jurchen troops are chasing behind! The Jurchens are invincible, let alone tens of thousands? Even the real generals of the Western Army, such as Chongshi Dao, Yao Gu, and Zhe Keqiu, are not the opponents of the Jurchens, how can he be so virtuous, how can he talk about the war so simply, and he is so confident, how is this possible?
At this moment, Li Gang and Li Ruoshui have already regarded Wu Jie as another Zheyan quality, and even in their hearts, Wu Jie's quality is not as good as Zheyan's quality! Zhe Yan is from a family of generals, and he brought 50,000 Zhejia troops to meet the Jurchens, while Wu Jie only had 5,000 new troops in his hands! The Zhejia army is a well-known faction in the Western Army, which once fought against the Western Xia and defeated the Western Xia army, while the new army of Wu Jie has just been trained for less than two years, and I am afraid that it is not much stronger than the ordinary people's bravery! In contrast, Wu Jie's quality is far inferior to Zheyan's!
"General Wu, we won't delay here! Your Highness's status is precious, we will immediately take Your Highness to Dasanguan and say goodbye! Li Gang arched his hand and said.
Wu Jie naturally didn't know Li Gang's identity, but he was able to follow Zhao Chen's side, and he was definitely not an ordinary character! At that moment, Wu Jie also arched his hand, with a smile on his face, and said, "Your Highness is waiting for the news of the last general in the Great Dispersion Pass!" In addition, my brother Wu Lin is also in the Great Scatter Pass now! When we came here from Sichuan that day, we knew that this Dasanguan would determine the safety of Shaanxi, and after learning the news that the Jin soldiers were about to march westward, I came to the monk yuan with 4,000 people, and my brother Wu Lin led 1,000 people to guard the Dasanguan! Now that the Zhejia army has arrived, please inform my brother and let my brother come to Shangyuan! This is a big scattered pass, we will teach the Zhejia army! ”
Zhao Chen smiled and nodded, at this moment, it was inconvenient for him to continue to talk to Wu Jie, and then he continued to move forward with people! Along the way, I passed by the main position of the monk Yuan, and found that this place was really unusually steep, and there was only one path to pass through the main position! After passing this path, the road finally smoothed out!
*** ***
"This Wu Rank is really arrogant to the extreme! Your Highness, you must not believe his lies! He will definitely not be able to stop the Jin soldiers, we must defend the Great Scattered Pass well! At this moment, Li Gang spoke.
"For some reason, I just believed in him in my heart." Zhao Chen shook his head and said.
"Your Highness, people are self-aware! Zhi Yanzhi had no self-knowledge, and led 50,000 Zhejia troops to meet the Jurchen cavalry, but was defeated by the Jurchen cavalry effortlessly! Now this Wu Jie, who is not self-aware, is just a deputy general, with only thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and he is delusional to block the tens of thousands of Jurchen troops! Your Highness, do you say this is possible? Li Ruoshui next to him.
"We'll see!" Zhao Chen also had some doubts in his heart, it was really because the number of soldiers and horses under Wu Jie's command was too small, and it was too difficult and difficult for these soldiers and horses to block the tens of thousands of Jurchen troops! However, Wu Jie's reputation in history is too big, and he has almost no defeats in history! He was the first in the Southern Song Dynasty to be named the festival envoy because of his military exploits, and in the end his military exploits were too outstanding, so he was named the festival envoy of Fengning and Baoding military towns, which is rare in the entire history of the Great Song Dynasty! He and his brother Wu Lin were crowned king at the same time because of their military exploits, with their two brothers, the Jin soldiers always went south to defeat Guanshan, and it was difficult to realize the strategic plan from Guanshan to Shuchuan, from Shuchuan to Jiangnan!
Such a peerless general who can be compared to Yue Fei in history, conniving at his subordinates only has thousands of soldiers and horses, Zhao Chen has to believe him!
However, Yue Fei is upright, loyal, and a little rigid in doing things, and Wu Jie is very different from him in this regard! Wu Jie's personality is active, he has a good relationship with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and he has enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth!
"Let's go, hurry up and get to Dasanguan!" Zhao Chen said while recalling Wu Jie's deeds.
It wasn't until the sky was dark that they saw the big scattered pass ahead!
This Dasanguan is the same as Tongguan, located in the mountains! From a distance, the mountains are steep and steep! Here and Tongguan is also the same as "a husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open", it guards the Guanzhong, Sichuan traffic arteries, since ancient times for the throat of Shaanxi, naturally it is also a place where soldiers must fight!
"Your Highness, we have sent someone to inform the defenders in the Great Scattered Pass, and the gate will be opened soon!" came to the bottom of the Great Scattered Pass, Li Gang said.
Zhao Chen nodded, and after less than half a quarter of an hour, the door was wide open, and countless soldiers came out of the Dasan Pass and knelt down in front of Zhao Chen!
The leader of these people is Wu Jie's brother Wu Lan, this Wu Lan is somewhat similar to Wu Jie's chief, both are full of elegant temperament! These two brothers were both scholars back then, and when the Tangut invaded, they had to join the army, and until now their temperament as scholars has not diminished slightly! Historically, Wu Lin's official position surpassed that of his brother, and later Wu Lin was named Taifu, and after Wu Lin died, he was posthumously named Taishi! These two are both outstanding military achievements!
"General Wu Lan, your eldest brother is waiting for you in front of the monk Yuan, you will take the soldiers and your eldest brother to round now! As for this big scattered pass, leave it to the Zhejia army! Zhao Chen said.
"Yes, the last general will lead the troops to the monk plain!" Wu Xuan nodded without hesitation.
To be honest, Wu Lan is also worried about his brother's safety! The two brothers have trained a total of more than 5,000 soldiers, and because they have to defend the Dasan Pass, they have divided more than 1,000 soldiers to him, which makes Wu Ling very worried that Wu Jie's troops are insufficient!
Now that he received the order of the crown prince, Wu Lan immediately integrated the army and led his army in the direction of Monk Yuan!
"This army is very powerful! I came here from Xiangzhou, and all the armies I've seen along the way can't compare to this one! Yue Fei said fiercely.
"It seems that there is something different, in just a quarter of an hour, they have already lined up and headed towards the monk Yuan! If it is a broken army, it is impossible to have an hour of time! At this moment, Li Gang also made a surprised voice.
"These two people are both famous generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, how can they be bad?" Zhao Chen said secretly.
"Your Highness, let's enter the Great Scattered Pass!" Li Gang said.
They finally entered the gate of the Great Scattered Pass, and when they arrived here, they finally stopped and did not continue on their way!
Zhao Chen, Li Gang and the others have not rested for several days, and they are all exhausted at the moment, but the Jurchens are not far from the north, and now is not the time to rest! Zhao Chen and the others first prepared food, and after eating, they continued to discuss the battle situation! Although Zhao Chen is extremely confident in Wu Jie, the number of soldiers and horses under Wu Jie's command is too small, and he can't help but think about what they should do if Wu Jie's defeat is over, and whether they can hold the Dasan Pass!
At this time, there was no news from the monk Yuan, and it seems that the Jurchens have not yet arrived!
It's just that at night, there was a lot of noise under the Dasan Pass, and countless soldiers poured to the bottom of the Dasan Pass, and it was the soldiers and horses of the Zhejia Army who arrived!
