From Zouping and Changshan to Beiqinghe, the terrain gradually becomes low and flat. The remaining veins of Changbai Mountain extend across the open plain, like loose silk with three parallel pleats running east to west.
The southernmost Jinling Mountain has a hill nearly a hundred feet high. When we reach the northernmost Tieling, it is only more than ten miles long and four to five feet high. Rather than a hill, it is more like a naturally stacked dam after a certain flooding of the Beiqing River.
To the west of the hillock, the trees are lush. Even though the branches and leaves are falling in the autumn air, they are still lush and green. To the east, there are several terraces connected to each other, under which reeds and sagebrush grow thickly, and wild birds occasionally fly around.
The figure that Li Quan noticed was Wanyan Weirong, who was looking around on the platform.
Wanyan Weirong has broad shoulders and broad arms, and is very tall. He was wearing heavy armor and a covered iron helmet. From a distance, the armor's light was very eye-catching.
He walked twice along the edge of the platform and asked the general in charge of vigilance and sentry: "Is there any unusual movement near or far?"
"Nothing."
"I just saw infantry walking to the east?"
"Come on, those are our patrol archers. They sent out from here to the east swamp, and then turned back to the north. A total of six teams were arranged, one for half an hour, and they just walked over. Each team of archers was carrying rattling arrows, but there was something wrong with it. , cast immediately."
"I see."
Wanyan Weirong narrowed his eyes and looked in that direction again.
The arrangements for the general were very appropriate. Wanyan Weirong was a powerful general from the clan, and he might not be familiar with such senior generals in terms of military camp details. But he vaguely felt that the situation was a bit tense and that this arrangement must not be enough. But he visited several times, but he didn't know where the tension came from. Perhaps it's because the Pusan Propaganda Envoy is about to negotiate with Nading Navy Guo Ning?
Wanyan Weirong had never dealt with Ding Haijun. When Guo Ning went on a killing spree in Zhongdu City, Pusan Anzhen made a long bet, so Wanyan Weirong led some of the Pusan family's private soldiers to stay at the Xishan camp the whole time, following Shuhu Gaoqi. department.
Therefore, he was not afraid of Ding Haijun, and was even a little disdainful, thinking that these people were just bastards who took advantage of the chaos.
But how scornful he was before, how shocked he was after hearing the news of Heshi Lieyawuta's death.
In Yidu Fucheng, Heshi Lieyawuta, who was killed by Guo Ning, was a fierce general who was the leader of the guards together with Wanyan Weirong. Although Wanyan Weirong had once won a sword fight with Heshi Lieyawuta, he also knew that in terms of the deterrence and destructive power of a fight, Heshi Lieyawuta's hammer was really powerful and could kill thousands of people. In the army.
When Heshi Lieya Wuta led his troops to set out, Pusan's envoy had ordered him to stay in Yidu for a month. Wanyan Weirong felt that if he had a thousand soldiers accompanying him, and if he drove thousands of Li Quan's men, it would not be a problem to hold on for half a year.
But the result? Heshi Lieya Wu Pagoda failed so easily. It is said that it only lasted one day.
Some spies reported that Dingjun destroyed the city wall of Yidu with thunderbolts. This was of course nonsense. Wanyan Weirong had seen iron artillery, thunder and the like before, but he had never seen one that could deal with the city wall.
According to the news released by the navy, Heshi Lieyawuta led his troops in a fierce battle with extraordinary bravery; Nayidu changed hands mainly because of Li Quan's subordinate Liu Qingfu's misdeeds.
This is somewhat true. But no matter how you say it, your own army's elite soldiers, coupled with a big city like Yidu Prefecture, can last for one day? Even if Liu Qingfu was a paper general, how could the battle be fought like this?
This strong impact made him a little too cautious on the hill.
He had asked several generals the same question, but he still felt that he could not be completely reassured.
Seeing that everything was about to go to the other side, he caught up a few steps and said in a deep voice: "It's best to send more sentries to explore further!"
Na Dujiang frowned and said: "There are six teams on the east and west routes, and more than 200 people have gone. If we send more people, I'm afraid there won't be enough people to accompany the envoys up and down Tieling."
"Then send someone with my silver medal to find Pusanliujia and ask him to send more Qingqi! To the south and east are large reed swamps. At a glance, we can't see our people. I really can't Comfortable!"
Wanyan Weirong raised his voice and shouted: "We can't let those guys take advantage of it!"
"Ahem..." All of a sudden he coughed again and again.
Wanyan Weirong was wearing a face-covering helmet, and his field of vision was quite restricted. He was stunned for a moment before turning around hastily.
Behind him, Guo Ning's guard leader Zhao Jue sneered repeatedly: "Han'er? Is there any gap you can take advantage of?"
"You guys, what are you laughing at?"
Zhao Jue ignored him and took his subordinates to walk around the platform. As he walked, he pointed at where to put a team of people here and where to put a team of people. Following Zhao Jue's instructions, groups of Dinghai navy soldiers strode into position, their swords at war.
In the blink of an eye, the two armies became scattered. The originally complete array of Jin Army soldiers stationed here was suddenly cut into seven or eight pieces.
Are these Shandong people trying to scare us?
All the Jin Army generals were furious, and Wanyan Weirong couldn't bear it.
He strode forward, ready to push Zhao Jue hard and cause some trouble, when suddenly he heard someone chuckle on the mountain road below.
Immediately, Anzhen's voice sounded: "What is Ambassador Guo Xuan laughing about?"
The man who chuckled before stopped talking.
After a while, an extremely tall young man strode onto the platform.
At this time, all the soldiers of the Ding Navy held their breaths, and the servant San Anzhen who came up beside him called out: "This is my attendant leader Wanyan Weirong. Zi Zhu, you have come to see Ambassador Guo. "
So this person is Guo Ning?
Following the introduction of Pusan Anzhen, Guo Ning's eyes were focused and majestic. Wanyan Weirong couldn't maintain the ferocious posture he had just summoned, so he quickly bowed and saluted.
Guo Ning also waved to Zhao Jue and introduced him to Pusan Anzhen.
After Zhao Jue bowed slightly and saluted, Pusan Anzhen originally thought that he was going to leave and leave time for the two Xuanfu envoys to talk secretly. Unexpectedly, Guo Ning continued to ask: "Did you see any tricks?"
Pusan Anzhen was stunned for a moment.
Zhao Jue raised his hand and said, "Dong Jin is here, he can see clearly."
Guo Ning waved to Dong Jin: "Come, let's talk."
Dong Jin is only fifteen, but he likes to appear calm. He stepped forward, bowed first, and then said loudly: "Every year in mid-September, migratory birds from the north continue to go south. From the mountain canyons of Changbai Mountain to the large wetlands at the mouth of Beiqing River, they are all the resting places for migratory birds. . Just like that piece, handsome, please take a look."
Sure enough, it was in a swamp south of Tieling, with sparkling water and flocks of birds.
Some birds of different species are floating on the water, playing in the water and pecking, and some are hiding in the reeds and saltgrass. From time to time, they stick out their long necks, turn left and right to look around, and make cooing sounds.
There are hundreds of birds, and their cries are heard one after another. Even if you are on the mesa, you can hear them clearly.
"Further south and in the reed marshes to the west, the situation is almost the same. Among these birds, there are hawks, swans, and wild ducks, all of which arrived one after another last night."
"Then what?" Guo Ning asked with a smile.
Dong Jin pointed to the area close to Tieling Terrace in the east: "Jie Shuai, but it's very quiet there."
Guo Ning looked there for a moment and sighed: "It's not easy to be able to manage an army like this, and you are already a talented general!"
He waved his hand: "Go down."
Zhao Jue and Dong Jin retreated ten steps to stand guard.
Wanyan Weirong is still confused, but Pusan Anzhen is a third-generation general and an expert who is familiar with all kinds of military tricks.
Guo Ning said a few words, and he understood the mystery behind it. His face suddenly turned pale and he looked in that direction: "Who is there?"
Pusan Anzhen's voice was stern, but Guo Ning changed the subject: "Pusan Envoy, what do you think of the Mongolian army?"
By the way, there are really a lot of reeds in this place and there are acres of wetlands. Then, migratory birds begin to arrive at this time of year, and more and more birds will arrive in two months.
