Beiliang Pass.
Snow fell all over the sky with the wind, and the ground was already covered in silver and white.
Compared with other places, the snow in Beiliang is naturally heavier and the weather is much colder. The snow covering the ground is now more than a foot thick.
At the pass, the tiger and leopard riders cut down dead wood from the surrounding forests. Each man carried a bundle of wood on his horse and carried it to the military camp.
Yue Fei wore a silver helmet and looked at the vast land outside the pass with a deep expression.
Although the ground is relatively flat, the snow on the plain is not smooth. Under the snow are the imperial army horses that were killed not long ago.
Although he won a great victory in that battle and defeated the imperial army and killed many of them, Yue Fei didn't feel much joy in his heart at this moment.
As a veteran who has commanded troops for many years, in the previous battle, he could see that although the imperial army had a large number of soldiers, they were all a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers. The military discipline was loose during the battle, and there was not much structure in the fight.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a fight.
And this shows that this imperial army was hastily assembled in a short period of time and was not well integrated. It was a miscellaneous army.
Even if you win against such a miscellaneous army, it won't bring you much sense of accomplishment.
After that battle, Yue Fei knew that although the enemy army was defeated, it did not mean that they would stop fighting. In fact, it was just the opposite. After that battle, they already roughly knew the number of soldiers and horses in their hands.
This means that they will gather more soldiers and horses next. Not only will they have more soldiers and horses, but they will also be more capable of fighting!
Thinking of this, Yue Fei's eyes showed a trace of worry.
Before the Lord left Beiliang, he had entrusted himself to guard the Beiliang Pass here. For this reason, he defeated the enemy army and did not chase them out.
But now, after so many days, the imperial court is probably gathering more troops. When they attack next time, will the less than 50,000 troops in their hands be able to hold on successfully?
What strategies will the enemy come up with to attack Beiliang?
In addition, the lord is in Xijing, and how far is the war going? Did Tu Yuan's army repulse them?
But soon, Yue Fei smiled and shook his head.
He raised his head, looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh:
"This snow is really getting heavier and heavier."
——
Under the sunset, in the glow.
A group of cavalry galloped along the mountain forest trail.
At this time, a mellow voice from the team sounded:
"My lord, I just listened to what Dian Wei said. My lord first destroyed Huma and then attacked Tuyuan. By doing these two things, it can be said that he has made an immortal contribution. This people is naturally loved by everyone."
"And the Jin family that is in charge of the imperial court is ignorant and ignorant. It is so obvious that everyone else in the world should revolt like the lord?"
The speaker was none other than Zhang Liao, who had been chatting with Dian Wei all the way.
Qin Ze's face was covered with a black scarf. After hearing his words, he opened the mask, exhaled a breath, and then said lightly:
"We all understand the truth, but not everyone will oppose it. Some people don't dare to rebel, and some people don't want to rebel."
"The kind of people who are unwilling to rebel are the beneficiaries of the Jin family's regime. They are sitting in glory and wealth, holding power, and the people will not suffer the same hardships as them."
"These people who are unwilling to rebel are controlling most of the people. If so, how many people can and dare to rebel?"
"Now that I am revolting, I am afraid that many of those who are unwilling to rebel will try to suppress me and seize more benefits, either for fame or profit."
"Most people have much greater ambition than strength. Don't you know that they are just puppets of the Jin family?"
"From Huang Longguan to the general of Zhenguo, it is not a matter of Jin Fengling's word that he should be eradicated, but even so, there will still be people who will continue to pounce on him, haha."
After the words fell, Dian Wei laughed:
"These messes are nothing in front of our army!"
Qin Ze smiled slightly and said, "That's right."
"What we have to do is to smash all the messy things, overthrow them completely, and start from scratch!"
"I will kill Hu Ma and Tu Yuan. Anyone who blocks my way next, huh, no need to show mercy, just kill them."
"These people have killed a lot. From now on, this big job will be clean for a while."
Hearing this, Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows and asked, "A period of time?"
Qin Ze's eyes were deep and he said calmly: "While I'm here."
Just as he said this, a man came from the front on horseback.
It was one of Yanyun's eighteen riders, Wang Yang.
"My lord, the road ahead is safe and deserted. The next step is a flat road. Zhang Lu and Liu Bao have set up a shelter five miles away. It gets dark early, so you can rest early."
"It's not far from Beiliang Pass. We can reach it in a few days."
Qin Ze nodded slightly and said calmly: "Isn't Tongwei City closer than Beiliang Pass? Just take down Tongwei City."
"Let Zhixiong and Taobao set off first tomorrow. After arriving at Tongwei City as soon as possible, they can disguise themselves and go in to see how many soldiers and horses there are."
"Yes, my lord!"
As Qin Ze's eyes flashed, the points panel appeared in front of his eyes.
[60.48 million, growing...]
It has been seven days since he left Xijing. There have not been many twists and turns along the way, and his points are steadily increasing, which makes Qin Ze feel confident.
When he left Xijing before, he had thought that the journey might not be safe, and there was no guarantee that Jin Fengling would send troops to monitor the important roads outside Xijing.
But it is a pity that although there are people stationed on some roads, most of these people are lazy and slack, and the defense is not strict at all. It is simply in name only.
And on some trails, they are completely unattended.
This is no accident.
Both Xijing and Beiliang are border areas of Daqian. The people here are so lazy, which just shows that Daqian is full of ills now.
The Jin family centralized power and handed over all important positions to their own family members in the capital, monopolizing all the top-level resources. In this way, how could those officials from ordinary backgrounds perform their duties to the best of their ability?
Without a way to rise, one can only live day by day, or take advantage of the poor.
The big trunk is corrupted from the inside and gradually affects the whole country, just like a tree that is rotten from the inside. The main trunk is broken and the outer branches and leaves are also covered with borers.
Qin Ze knew in his heart that given time, even if he did not revolt, the tree would either collapse on its own or be chopped down by those with axes.
Huma, Tuyuan, these chaos are confirming the death of this tree.
Thinking of this, Qin Ze's face became darker and darker.
But the points panel in his eyes was still beating.
The strings of blue numbers are growing little by little and becoming more and more.
"This is hope."
Whispering to himself, Qin Ze led everyone and ran forward in the afterglow of the setting sun...
