"The deputy commander rashly attacks Taiyuan Prefecture, what should we do? The Prime Minister is still in Tokyo."
Wanyan Xiyin looked at Wanyan Zongjun and asked, their status is not enough to influence the overall situation, but Wanyan Gao is different, the status of the Prime Minister of Jin is enough to become a hostage.
"Didn't I be sent to protect my uncle?"
Wanyan Zongjun said.
Wanyan Xiyin still wanted to speak, but Wanyan Gao waved his hand to tell him to stop.
"It's not that there's nothing we can do about it. We can use the failure of the Juyongguan attack as an excuse. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to destroy Qi."
Wanyan Gao said that every time Zhao Ji summoned him during this period, he always asked about the war situation in the north. From his words, it was clear that Zhao Ji was urgent. The more anxious Zhao Ji was, the more proactive they were.
Wanyan Gao was still a little dissatisfied with Wanyan Wu Qimai's sudden change of plan. He was in Tokyo, and Wanyan Wu Qimai was disregarding his life and death by doing this.
But Wanyan Wu begged to send Wanyan Zongjun. Wanyan Zongjun was the fifth son of Wanyan Aguda, but Wanyan Zongjun also had another identity. He was the eldest son of Wanyan Aguda. His mother was Tang Kuo, Queen of Shengmu. Aguda's Yuan Fei had a status far above the other brothers.
Wanyan Zongjun was actually sent here to calm Wanyan Gao's heart.
"Prime Minister, I'm afraid there are capable people in the Song Dynasty!"
Wanyan Xiyin said, although Zhao Song was in a state of decay, there were still some capable people in the court, and it was impossible not to see the purpose of the Jin Kingdom.
"So what if someone sees it? As long as the emperor agrees, what can those ministers do?"
Wanyan Gao smiled nonchalantly and said, Zhao Ji is very easy to fool. At this point, he could only find a way to fool him.
"Shengguo, don't leave the embassy recently. To prevent any unexpected events, you and these warriors must stay hidden!"
Wanyan Gao looked at Wanyan Zongjun and said.
"Uncle, don't worry, I know!"
Wanyan Zongjun saluted.
…
In the north, Juyongguan.
"Taoist Master Ma, what is the enemy doing now?"
Lin Chong asked, looking at Ma Ling who had just returned.
"The enemy has divided their forces. Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan led 40,000 troops towards Daizhou!"
Ma Ling said.
"Daizhou? Hedong Road!"
Lin Chong's expression changed slightly. Daizhou was the northern gateway to Hedong. The enemy was heading towards Daizhou. It was obvious that they wanted to enter Hedong.
"Are you going to start a war with the Song Dynasty? Once you pass Yanmen Pass, it will be a smooth road, and you can go straight into the Central Plains and Guanzhong!"
Yang Zhi said, the Yang family fought against the Liao Kingdom here, so they naturally knew the importance of Hedong.
"Then what are you waiting for! Let's kill him too!"
Li Kui shouted. He was tired of waiting at Juyong Pass. The enemy never came, and now he even went to Daizhou.
"Tieniu, don't be impulsive. How do we get to Daizhou from here?"
Lin Chong pointed to the vast mountains ahead. If they wanted to go to Daizhou, they would have to cross the Taihang Mountains. This journey was not easy, and the enemy had already controlled them along the way.
"Then let's fight out! What's the point of waiting like this? You've all lost the land of Kyushu!"
Li Kui pointed at Lin Chong and others and said angrily. He was not convinced that Lin Chong and others gave up Jiuzhou in Shanbei. How could Da Qi give up its own territory?
"Tieniu, we have moved all the soldiers and civilians into Juyongguan, and there is no loss! We will fight back in a few days!"
Li Yan said.
"Nothing to lose! Face lost! How many people stabbed the spine!"
Li Kui jumped up and yelled, what he cared about most was face.
"You Iron Bull! War is not a child's play. Who else are you going to show off to? Reduce losses and kill more enemies. This is the most important thing."
Yang Zhi looked at Li Kui and said.
"As a general, you can't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place!"
Lin Chong also spoke.
"I don't care so much. Anyway, Qi can't be defeated again. If the enemy comes, I will kill myself!"
Li Kui saw that everyone was against him and said regardless.
"Report, the enemy is attacking, sixty miles away!"
A soldier pointed at the beacon fire and smoke in the distance and shouted.
"Here we come! Boys and men, get ready!"
Li Kui was overjoyed when he heard this and yelled at the soldiers in the pass.
Lin Chong and others could only shake their heads helplessly.
"General Lin, are you just going to let Tieniu make trouble?"
Yuan Lang looked at Lin Chong and asked.
"This terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so let Tieniu go out and fight for a while."
Lin Chong said.
The Jin army marched meanderingly between the mountains. The Jin army maintained its military formation and marched along the Sanggan River.
"This march is too slow!"
Wanyan Zongwang frowned as he looked at the slowly advancing army.
"What's the rush? Even if we reach Juyongguan now, we can't attack the city directly!"
Wanyanchang pointed to the remaining veins of the Taihang Mountains in the distance and said, it was here that Wanyan Yinshu Keke suffered a big loss last year.
"This Juyong Pass is located between mountains, guarding the gateway to Hebei. There are more than thirty miles of ravine from the mountain pass to the pass. There are high mountains on both sides. The ravine is narrow, making it the best place to set up an ambush!"
Wanyanchang said slowly that after last year's defeat, he had carefully asked Wanyan about the details of Yinshu's battles, and finally found that Juyongguan was really difficult to fight.
"Let's kill directly. After passing Juyong Pass, we can reach Xijin Mansion."
Wanyan Zongwang said.
"Don't be impulsive! Why do you think His Majesty sent people to attack Taiyuan? It's because Juyong Pass is difficult! We can enter the Central Plains from the land east of Hedong!"
Wanyanchang said, Wanyanwu suddenly changed his plan this time because he didn't want to fight Juyongguan.
One day later, the Jin army arrived at the outskirts of the ravine at Juyongguan.
"These braided dogs are finally here!"
On top of the Great Wall, Li Kui looked at the slowly approaching enemy with a ferocious expression.
"Tieniu, don't show your head, be careful to be seen!"
Bao Xu quickly held down the complacent Li Kui.
"What's this? The enemy will definitely send people to investigate, and they will be discovered sooner or later!"
Li Kui didn't care. The enemy was not a fool. He would definitely send scouts to investigate before entering the mountain.
"It's only a moment that can be hidden!"
Bao Xu said.
"This is the north entrance of Juyong Pass? This Great Wall is as shabby as the ones outside!"
Wanyan Zong looked at the north entrance of Juyongguan with a smile. The Great Wall above had become a ruin.
Wan Yanchang waved his hand, and a group of scouts headed towards the north entrance.
"Twenty people!"
Xiang Chong took off two throwing knives from his back and laughed.
"Get ready!"
Li Gun also took off the two javelins and ordered.
The Jin Kingdom sentry cavalry approached the North Entrance Pass carefully. Seeing that there was no movement on the pass, the scouts rode directly into the North Entrance.
"kill!"
Xiang Chong and Li Gun gave orders and threw throwing knives and javelins at the same time. The other soldiers also fired with hand crossbows. Twenty people were killed on the spot.
"Cleaned up!"
Seeing that the battle was over in an instant, Bao Xu directed his soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Everything was calm again, and no one seemed to have come in.
"Um?"
Wan Yanchang waited for a long time but did not receive a report from the scout, so he frowned and thought.
"You didn't go directly to Zhongguan, did you?"
Wanyan Zongqian said.
"Impossible, I just asked them to explore the mountain pass! It's still more than thirty miles away from Zhongguan!"
Wan Yanchang immediately denied this possibility. It was impossible for a scout to run that far without an order.
