A group of light horsemen came out of the naturalization pass and followed the Jurchens.

But it was this group of light horsemen who went out of the customs until night, until the next morning, and no one came back to report. It was apparently wiped out by the Jurchen scout rangers scattered in the rear.

Hu Yanzhuo sent several groups of light horsemen out of the pass to chase the next day, at this time, but Hu Yanzhuo was helpless, at this time it was an excellent choice to lead troops to save Datong, but Hu Yanzhuo was afraid that he would lead troops to save Datong, and the Jurchens turned around and broke the naturalization pass.

Defensive warfare is always less advantageous than offensive warfare. This time, the Jurchens were all cavalry outside the pass, and they were full of mobility. The location of the attack was completely under the control of the Jurchens.

Hundreds of young men who were willing to Han and Su Han had already encountered the Jurchens outside the gate and fled. But the Jurchens did not send troops to chase after them, and the horses flew away from Datong.

The lightning-fast Jurchen cavalry has already approached the city of Datong.

Wang Yu and his son Wang Xun stood on top of the city, looking at the more than 10,000 iron armor under the city, frowning, constantly calming his nervous emotions, Wang Xun was running around, arranging the city defense.

But the Jurchens did not dismount, but galloped around the city wall, and there were countless feathered arrows on the city. But these Jurchen men didn't pay attention to it, so they beat their horses and galloped around the city.

Wanyan Lou Room, it seems that he didn't think about attacking Datong City at all, Wanyan Lou Room wanted to go east, bypass those passes, and go straight behind Zheng Zhi.

Even Wanyan Lou didn't believe that the defenders in the city dared to go out of the city to fight the Jurchens. As long as the defenders in the city dare not go out of the city, this Datong City will be like a fictitious one. Entering Yan Yun's Wanyan Lou room, he no longer thinks about the way back, and now Yan Yun is here to fight to the death, and he is here to disrupt Zheng Zhi's deployment.

In this battle of the Jurchens, victory and defeat determined the life and death of the Jurchen clan. No matter what the danger is, Wanyan Lou has to risk his life, fight against the water, and never think about any retreat or anything like that.

"Father, I went around the city to the east and entered Yanyun..." Wang Xun was shocked in his heart, and what surprised him was that these Jurchens wanted to insert themselves into Yanyun so much regardless of Datong City, and they didn't want to worry about it at all.

Outside the city, there were hundreds of Jurchens who were shot down, but these Jurchens did not fight back and went straight away. This is also something that the father and son did not expect.

Wang Yu frowned, pacing the city, and Wang Yu could already see the situation in front of him clearly.

"Father, are the Jurchens trying to lure us out of the city to fight?" Wang Xun opened his mouth and asked again.

This father and son are both martyrs in history, and if they defend the city, they are determined to defend it. But it was this time to go out of the city to fight with the Jurchens, and Wang Xun really didn't dare to have this decision in his heart.

Wang Yu's face was entangled, the Jurchens went east like this, they must be to copy Zheng Zhi's back road, how could Wang Yu not know, but it was a difficult choice for Wang Yu to go out of the city or not to go out of the city. Going out of the city, it is natural to be able to slow down the pace of the Jurchens, so that Zheng Zhi has more time to react, and if he does not go out of the city, Yanyun's soldiers are all in various passes, and within Yanyun, where can there be anyone who can stop the Jurchens.

This team of Jurchen horses will inevitably be like a bamboo, and they will go straight to Yanjing and other places. Zheng Zhi's back road is about to go wrong.

After being entangled for a moment, Wang Yu put the iron helmet on his head and shouted: "Niang Xipi, follow me out of the city, His Royal Highness King Yan went thousands of miles to Jiangnan to rescue us and others, and today we should also repay this favor for His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

Although Wang Yu is a native of Kaifeng, he has been an official in Jiangnan for many years, and he scolded a swear sentence about Zhejiang. With a hideous face, he had already gone down to the city.

Wang Xun frowned and followed, the big pu knife in his hand was on his shoulder, and he wanted to step forward and say a few words, but he still held back. Horses were found, the city gate was opened, and more than a thousand soldiers with horses came out of the east gate with three or four thousand foot soldiers, and went to chase the Jurchens.

To the east of Datong, it is Changqing City (Yanggao South), and the road that can run the horse is the avenue, which is mostly official repair. The avenue only leads to the city, and since ancient times, only one city and one pool can be attacked, because the road can only lead to the city. If the city is not broken, there must be no way out, if you go around the city like the Jurchen, there is no way back, only the lonely army goes deep, and the face is still a city one by one.

Evergreen City is not big, it is also in disrepair, there has been no war for nearly two hundred years, and now it is under the jurisdiction of Zheng Zhi, and there are not many soldiers in the city, only two people, less than three hundred. It is only used for the purpose of guarding the town and guarding against thieves.

At this time, more than 10,000 Jurchen iron armor rushed on the official road, and even the city gate was too late to close.

The Jurchens rode away, and the empty city did not enter.

Wang Yu had already fought with the scouts of the Jurchen rear team a few times, but he didn't look back to fight after Yan Lou's room, and ran all the way.

The ultimate goal of Wanyan Lou's room is to enter Yanjing in a hurry, stick to the city, block the north-south passage, and Zheng Zhi will naturally suffer from the enemy. At this time, if you meet people and horses, you will fight, which will inevitably drag down the progress, and I am afraid that there will be variables.

Wan Yan Lou also knew in his heart that Zheng Zhi at the Gubei Pass would inevitably receive the news of his entry into the customs in a short time, and racing against time was the victory.

At the naturalization pass, a team of fast horses galloped over, Hu Yanzhuo had already received the military order, but Hu Yanzhuo opened the official document, still had doubts in his heart, and asked the person who gave the order: "Why did King Yan reply to the naturalization in two days?" ”

Lingbing didn't say much, but said: "General Huyan will know after reading the official document." ”

Hu Yanzhuo opened the official document in confusion, only to see the official document: ordered Hu Yanzhuo to quickly lead people and horses into Huai'an City, blocking the way of the Jurchens, if the Jurchens do not attack the city, immediately lead the troops out of the city and fight. A certain relative led 15,000 cavalry into Fengshengzhou, and within a few days he was naturalized, and arrived at the city of Huai'an within three days.

Under the official document, Zheng Zhi, the king of Yan, wrote it himself, and the seal was stamped.

Hu Yanzhuo breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Please return to Your Highness quickly, and say that the last general will definitely drag the Jurchen under Huai'an City." ”

Zheng Zhi came in person, this was an anger that no one expected, even Hu Yanzhuo didn't expect it. At this time, when the Gubei Pass was fighting, Zheng Zhi personally led the troops out of Gubei and went west to block the Jurchen who entered the Pass. Now that Gubei has lost its backbone, no one thought of such a risky approach.

Even Wanyan Wu begging outside Gubei Pass didn't expect it. Even the vast majority of the generals under Zheng Zhi didn't know.

It is no wonder that the soldiers under the command of Wu Song and Sun Shengchao have to go out to drill twice a day, which is to cover up the lack of 15,000 people in the army. It's no wonder that Zheng Zhi lived in the army in front of him, and no one cared much about disappearing for two or three days. At this time, Zheng Zhi had disappeared for five days.

Ming Xiu plank road darkness Chen Cang. Although the Jurchens entered the customs, they were the Jurchens who entered the customs, and the transmission of military information had been blocked by this pass, even if the Jurchens were good at crossing mountains and mountains, but the news transmitted by crossing mountains and mountains would lag much behind the normal transmission.

This is the weakness of the Jurchens. The lack of information gave Zheng Zhi a gap to operate.

At this time, the Wanyan Lou room, who entered the customs, wanted to pass on the military information to Wanyan Wu begging outside the Gubei Pass, and ordered the soldiers to cross the mountains and mountains, and they could not reach the Gubei Pass for more than ten days. If it were to return the original way, it might have taken a few days soon, but it was such a lonely army, and it would not be realistic to return the original way.

Evergreen City, to the east Tiancheng City (Tianzhen), and then to the east is Huai'an, after Huai'an (Huai'an South) is naturalization. Naturalized and went south through Fengsheng and went straight to Yanjing.

A battle is about to begin. If the Yan Lou room is destroyed, the Jurchens will have no means but to fight hard. Fighting hard above the pass is what Zheng Zhi is willing to see.

Northwest Qinzhou.

Zhe Keqiu and Liu Zhengyan broke up unhappily. Today's Northwest is no longer what it used to be. In the past, the party was on the side every year, and there were countless big wars and small battles.

The people of the entire Northwest Army are united in their determination to resist the enemy.

Now that the trouble in the northwest has been calmed, it is the northwest that has begun infighting again.

Zhe Keqiu suddenly became extremely concerned about Yan Yun's war, Zheng Zhi's victory or defeat, Zhe Keqiu cared more than anyone else, and even sent people to travel thousands of miles to Hedong and Shanxi, just to inquire about the situation of the war.

Shanxi to Shaanxi is not far away, and Shaanxi to Qinzhou is not far away. The delivery of the message is all on the fast horse.

Zhe Keqiu seems to be waiting for something, maybe waiting for the military news that is unfavorable to Zheng Zhi.

In the next ten days, Liu Zhengyan and Zhi Keqiu never met again. Each of them is doing their own thing in the yamen.

The recruitment of troops outside the city gate is also going on separately.

Qinzhou people are soldiers, so they are naturally more willing to go to the Zhe family, if the treatment is the same, Liu Zhengyan will not be able to recruit a few people at all. It is impossible to improve the treatment again.

At this time, Liu Zhengyan knew that in Qinzhou, he and the influence he could ask for were obviously not the same thing. Even if he has the reputation of the envoy of Naxi River Lanhuang and Qin Fenglu, there is still a big gap between the two.

In the past, Tong Guan was an official and had never interfered in the affairs of Qinzhou, even if the teacher was here, he also relied on a lot of help. Liu Zhengyan wanted to compete with Zhe Keqiu in Qinzhou, but it was not a clever move.

In this way, Liu Zhengyan was even more angry, and he always went to find trouble first, but he didn't know where to start.

The two of them were in such a stalemate for more than ten days, but they suddenly came to meet Liu Zhengyan.

The news of the land of Yanyun has not yet come back. Zhe Keqiu came to meet him at this time, and obviously had plans.

I saw Zhe Keqiu bowing with a smile on his face, and said in his mouth: "Meet Liu Xianggong, these days, after thinking about it, I always feel that there is some misunderstanding between you and me, and between Xiaguan and King Yan, I am afraid that there is also some misunderstanding." Thinking of this time, I couldn't sleep all night when I came in, so I had to come to the door to disturb Liu Xianggong. ”

Liu Zhengyan looked puzzled when he heard this, looking at the posture in front of him that suddenly lowered his face, and he didn't know why, and after returning the salute, he replied: "I don't know what the prince said?" ”

But he didn't answer first, and raised his hand to take the initiative to ask Liu Zhengyan to sit down.

After Liu Zhengyan sat down, he suddenly opened his chest, revealing the scar on his chest, and said with a smile: "Liu Xianggong, maybe this misunderstanding started from this arrow, at that time, outside Nanfeng City, the lower official was hit by this cold arrow, and the blood did not stop, and the medical officer also said that nine deaths and one life, this matter is really not fake." But he didn't want me to go back to the northwest and come back to life again. This made His Royal Highness King Yan suspicious, thinking that the subordinate wanted to support the army and respect himself, and the misunderstanding was big. Xiaguan thought about it for many days, before he thought through these things, Xiaguan really didn't have any idea, King Yan was fighting hard in Yanyun about this matter, if King Yan was summoned again, Xiaguan was willing to lead his soldiers to Yanyun to help King Yan. ”

When Liu Zhengyan heard this, he was half-convinced, his eyes were fixed on Zhe Keqiu, and he also looked at the scar on Zhe Keqiu's chest, and said nothing.

Zhe Keqiu slowly put on his clothes, and said: "Liu Xianggong probably thought that the subordinates recruited troops and horses to support the soldiers and self-respect, and just now the subordinates thought through this time, and had already ordered the recruits outside the city to withdraw to the camp, so as to prove the innocence of the subordinates." ”

I can ask for this, not for anything else, just to stabilize Liu Zhengyan first and wait for the situation to change. This Liu Zhengyan is nothing in the eyes of Zhe Keqiu. But the pressure on Zheng Zhi is too great, and he can't afford to compromise and be cautious.

Liu Zhengyan's face was slightly relaxed, and he asked: "Then why do you have to get along with me in front of your head and embarrass me in person?" Behind the scenes, there is still a calculation? ”

Zhe Keqiu smiled even more and said, "Eh. . . Liu Xianggong, it's all a misunderstanding. Before you entered Qinzhou, you blindly embarrassed me, and I don't know why, that's why it's like this. If you had figured out these joints earlier, how could you be embarrassed by Liu Xianggong. It's all a misunderstanding... ”

Liu Zhengyan still looked at the fold and begged, and he was still skeptical in his heart, but he saw such a gesture of fold and begging, and his suspicion inevitably decreased a lot. nodded and said, "I can't decide whether the matter is true or not, so I'll wait until I write to King Yan." But in this army, you should be cautious, do not transfer privately, it is better for you to hand over the great seal of the military talisman, so that I can believe you. ”

Liu Zhengyan is not stupid, if he wants to control the fold, he naturally has to let the fold ask for it first, and he can't dispatch troops at will.

I didn't want to ask for it, so I nodded again and again, and replied: "This is the right way, I will hand over the talisman and the big seal to Liu Xianggong later, and wait until His Royal Highness King Yan has made a decision." ”

Zhe Keqiu is not afraid in his heart, as long as Liu Zhengyan is still in Qinzhou, everything seems to be under control. How Zheng Zhi decides, it is not a moment and a half to come and go.

Even if Zheng Zhi has a decision, I believe that this decision is not as good as asking the people he sent to find out the news to come back quickly. is to stabilize Liu Zhengyan first, and everything depends on the changes in the situation.
