They traveled for another day, passing through Baoji, Fengxiang two major towns were also occupied by the Jin State, the Yellow Dragon flag on the city tower fluttered in the wind, the flag was embroidered with the surnames of the generals, the most eye-catching was the flag on the Baoji City with seven bushes of white hair, embroidered with the word "Finish the face" of the apricot yellow handsome. Yue Yun said: "There seems to be the prince of the Jin Kingdom in Baoji City, and eighty percent of it is the completion of Yan Wushu." Luo Tianchu said: "How does Brother Yue know?" Yue Yun said: "The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom has nine bushes of white hair on his handsome hair, and the prince has seven bushes. Jiang Feiyan said: "Look, those big flags are tied with white cloths, and the soldiers defending the city also wear white belts around their waists, as if they are all mourning. Luo Tianchu said: "Could it be that they are mourning for Wanyan Zongwang?" Yue Fei nodded and said: "It is very likely, we have made a detour and delayed a lot of time, the messenger of the Jin Kingdom must have sent the news of Yanjing as early as possible, Wanyan Zongwang is a prince, he has a high position and power in the Jin State, and his death has a great impact, and Wanyan Wushu has been stationed in the army, which must have something to do with it." ”

After Baoji and then go forward is the Wei River, this position is in the middle reaches, the riverbed is wide and shallow, there are more sandbanks, the opposite bank is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the soldiers of the two countries are stationed on both banks. When the Jin garrison stationed on the east bank saw them galloping towards them, they shouted, "What man!" He spoke with a pure northern accent, but he was a Han Chinese. You must know that the Jurchen people have a total of only 670,000 and only 150,000 troops, although they are elite divisions that can conquer and fight, but with the expansion of the territory, the army has long been insufficient to dispatch, so the Han people, Bohai people, and Khitan people have enriched the army, among which the Han soldiers are the most, commonly known as the signing army, the number is ten times that of the Jurchen soldiers, but the status is the lowest, and the hard work is done by them.

Yue Yun held the red gun of Zhang'er, took the lead, and said: "The river in front is shallow, let's rush directly across the river." Seeing that they had no intention of stopping, the Han soldiers led by him drew their sabers and shouted: "Brothers, copy the guys, stop the ......" Before the words fell, they were hit by Yue Yun as an arrow in the chest. Yue Yun took advantage of the chaos to kill the enemy group, danced the red spear, and shouted: "Everyone is a compatriot, why bother me to wait, and don't let the road die." Seeing that Mouke was dead, the Han soldiers had no desire to fight, so they retreated one after another and let them cross the river. At the beginning of Luo Tianchu, they rushed down the Wei River, and the river flooded the belly of the horse, and the march was not fast, but fortunately, the enemy did not release arrows, and let them cross smoothly.

When the Song soldiers guarding the other side saw that there was a riot on the other bank, they had already been waiting for them, and when they saw them crossing the river, they bent their bows and arrows one after another, and the black-faced commander led by them shouted: "Who are you waiting for! As soon as Yue Yun landed ashore, he flew off his horse and bowed his hand and said, "Yue Yun has seen the general under 'Bao Yilang'. The black-faced commander was shocked: "Are you Yue Yun of the Yue Family's army?" Yue Yun said: "It's just me." The black-faced commander exclaimed: "No wonder the two hundred golden soldiers on the other side can't stop you." I don't know what General Xiaoyue is doing here?" Yue Yun said: "The last general and his companions have something to meet Wu Jingluo. The blackface said, "No problem, I can take you there, just in case I have to confiscate your weapons and tie your hands." Just because you are strong in martial arts and have never been masked, don't blame you for catching up with this extraordinary period. ”

Yue Yun frowned slightly, and was about to speak, Xu also suddenly said: "What a military man who doesn't know anything, do you dare to tie up the Great Song Emperor!" The black-faced commander and the soldiers were all in the same place, and said in surprise: "The Great Song Emperor?" At the same time, he turned his head to look at the only woman, Zhao Huanhuan. When she set foot on the land of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Huanhuan was no longer the little woman who was vain and wronged, trembling, and hardworking, although her hair was unkempt and her face was torn, she could not hide her lofty and inviolable aristocratic temperament. The black-faced commander only glanced at her, then believed seven or eight points, and immediately led the crowd to kneel down and said: "I don't know how offensive the emperor is coming." The last general dared to ask, not His Royal Highness, which emperor is it. Xu was still about to be reprimanded, Zhao Huanhuan waved his hand at him, dismounted and picked up the black-faced leader, and said: "This palace is the twentieth daughter of the official family of the Hui Sect, and Emperor Roufu is." Jingkang went to the north with the 'two saints', and this time he was rescued by the righteous to return to his homeland. She wept with joy and shed two lines of tears. The black-faced commander hurriedly knelt down again and said, "I actually cried the emperor in anger, it is really a crime that deserves death." Zhao Huanhuan burst into tears and laughed, mixed him up again, and said: "It's not about the general, this palace just didn't expect to return to the Great Song Dynasty in his lifetime, it's just too excited." ”

The black-faced commander swore an oath: "Don't worry, Emperor Ji, I will swear to live and die together in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and never let Emperor Ji suffer again." Yue Yun praised: "Well said!" The black-faced commander asked Jiang Feiyan and Luo Tianchu again: "I don't know the names of these two strong men. Jiang Feiyan said: "Blood Knife Castle Jiang Feiyan, Luo Tianchu is." The black-faced commander said in awe: "It turns out that Your Excellency is also the hero of the Blood Sword Castle! Disrespectful, disrespectful! If it weren't for the fact that your military division led 20,000 sons to come to help, I am afraid that this Chen Cangdao has been occupied by the Jin soldiers." The two of them were overjoyed and asked, "Where is the Gongsun military division now?" The black-faced commander said, "He Yuan is working with Wu Jingluo on the fortifications." The last will show you the way. He asked a small colonel to report the news first, and introduced himself, his name is Cao Wu, a person from Baoji, who joined the army at the age of fifteen, and is currently the deputy lieutenant of Xuanjie, who is brave in combat in peacetime, and has won the trust of Wu Jie and Wu Lan.

"Historical Records" has said: "The Qinling Mountains are a great obstacle in the world." "Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan stretches and falls, the weather is majestic, the mountains are majestic, and the mountains are magnificent. However, the road of heaven and earth, Qinling is not a complete piece, the continuous mountain is interrupted in the Dasanling, and the Longshan Mountain from the west forms a pass, which is the Chencang Road connecting Bashu and Guanzhong. Dasanguan is the first dangerous pass on Chencang Road, it is an important barrier to guard the gateway of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the monk principle is the barrier of Dasanguan, it is higher terrain, very close to Dasanguan, standing in the monk can take in everything in the pass, its strategic importance is self-evident. If the monk is lost, the great dispersion is in danger. In addition, the monk was originally only a hundred miles away from Fengxiang Mansion, holding Shukou, which could be attacked and defended, and was the first position in the Sichuan-Shaanxi War.

Chencang Road is surrounded by mountains on all sides, mountain waves and peaks, layer upon layer, and the sky is boundless and endless. The Qinling Mountains are mostly composed of solid granite, and the simple yellow color is matched with the steep mountains like staggered and axe-like chopping, which adds a magnificent and magnificent spirit to the mountains. I don't know how many celebrities will create the cause of kingship along this mountain road, and the eternal mountains and rivers and ancient trees seem to be telling the legendary stories of that period. Everyone walked out of the three miles, and an empty stone town suddenly appeared in front of them, which was quite strong, but empty. Cao Wudao: "This is Yimen Town, although it is built strongly, there is no danger to defend, and the people in the town have moved to Hanzhong for refuge." After ten miles of travel, he heard the murmuring of water, and when he turned a mountain col, he saw a shallow river ten zhang wide flowing eastward like a jade belt, and the water was crystal clear and paved with colorful pebbles. Cao Wu said that this is the Qingjiang River, the largest tributary of Weishui, and also the source of water for the whole army. As soon as the Qingjiang River crossed the horse's leg, everyone rode their horses to the opposite bank, and saw that the road ahead suddenly narrowed, and the three mountains were arranged in a zigzag pattern. The name of this place is 'Shencha', it is also a key and dangerous pass, it is near the river in front, the mountain in the back, the road is twisted nearby, the mountains are steep, even if you want to bypass it, it will take a lot of effort.

There is a camp built between the three mountains, stuck in the narrowest place, and the enemy can only attack one side of it, which is difficult to surround. The camp is 80 zhang long on each side, and is built with local red birch, which is very strong. The fence is more than a foot high, and there are rows of earthen bags piled up in front of the fence facing 'Qing Jiang He', as well as the whole wolf skin, cowhide, and pig skin, all of which are to defend against the rockets of the Jin Army. Dozens of repulsive horses full of spearheads lined up, and even if the cavalry attacked it, they would have to pay a heavy price. There were 3,000 Song troops stationed in the village, and they were neatly dressed and their weapons were bright. The three hundred military tents were arranged in a regular manner. The arrangement of the military tents was divided by the arms, with the infantry in the front, the archers in the center, and the cavalry in the back. The ground in front of all the tents was clean, the discipline was strict, and the soldiers were not lazy. The camp also has two mud granaries and stables, both guarded by soldiers. Yue Yun secretly admired it when he saw it, thinking that Wu Jie's real general was also talented.
