In fact, at the same time when Zhao Chen and Qu Duan were talking, at Juyong Pass, more than a thousand miles away, the city gate was wide open, and 170,000 troops from Yanyun Military Region came out of Juyong Pass and entered the vast mountains.

The army was moving forward in the deep mountains, and there was no trace of anyone along the way!

At the earliest, the Jurchens set up a lot of spies north of Juyongguan. However, since the beginning of this year, the Yanyun Military Region has continuously sent elite teams into the mountains to clean up all the Jurchen spies! More than half a year has passed, and this place is truly quiet. The Jurchens have no idea what happened in Juyongguan!

The mountain road was rugged, and even the cavalry could only lead the horse forward! However, the speed of the army marched was not slow at all! They did not stop from setting in the morning until the setting sun!

After the sky was completely dark, the 170,000 troops began to rest! Before they set off, they had thoroughly investigated the road here and found a resting place to shelter from the wind!

There is no fire in the mountains, and there are almost no sounds heard in everyone! The mountains are quiet at this moment, as if nothing has happened!

A large army of 170,000 carried military rations with them! This military ration is the most common fried noodles in later generations, which is easy to carry.

They carried special felt on their backs, covering them with them, and countless soldiers squeezed together to keep each other warm.

The next morning, it was dawn and the 170,000 troops were heading north again!

There are still no traces of people on the road!

The army chose the most remote place to march. Almost no one fell behind along the way. Only some soldiers had to stop after they had their feet crutched. The soldiers' faces were full of annoyance! These soldiers would stay where they were, and the militia transporting the baggage would pass here soon. If their foot injuries healed, they would enter the militia team. If their foot injuries were still not healed, the militia would send them back to Juyong Pass.

Until the third day, the army of 170,000 came to Jiugongling!

This is an important stronghold north of Juyongguan!

In history, the first battle between Mongolians and the Jin Dynasty took place at Jiugongling! At that time, the Jin Dynasty gathered 300,000 troops, which were the elite forces of the Jin Dynasty. At that time, Genghis Khan only led 50,000 or 60,000 troops. Genghis Khan and Mu Huali attacked Jiugongling in two groups, and defeated the 300,000 elite troops of the Jin Dynasty with 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry! After this battle, the Jin Dynasty was shocked. No one expected that the unified regime that just appeared on the Mongolian grassland was so powerful!

This time, the Song Dynasty also launched a battle to destroy the Jin Dynasty, but it did not go south from Jiugongling, but from Jiugongling to north!

At this time, the Song Dynasty had just recovered the Central Plains. Yan Yun had strong military strength and high morale, and the strong national strength of the Song Dynasty was far superior to that of Mongolia in history! The Song Dynasty could mobilize so many troops that could not match the Mongolian! The Song Dynasty's cavalry tactics also completely replicated the Mongolian in history! The army was full of confidence in this battle!

After arriving at Jiugongling, the army's speed suddenly accelerated a little!

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the soldiers are rushing to the road in the dark!

They are already very accustomed to such long-distance marching! Starting from Guanshan, the army has been trained endlessly, and they have to train once or twice a month! Such training can not only enhance the physical fitness of the soldiers, but also enhance the will of the soldiers, and can also be used in actual combat. This is a hard training that must be carried out in the infantry exercises! Now they are moving forward as they have been trained in the past. Some soldiers have begun to be tired, but they still follow the large army and prevent themselves from falling down!

It was not until late at night on the seventh day of the ninth lunar month that they finally came out of Jiugongling.

"Bei'anzhou is more than 100 miles east, where there are eight thousand golden soldiers stationed there! We have an army of 170,000 attacking Bei'anzhou, so there will be no mistakes, but I am afraid that someone will escape! Brother Yanxian, you lead 50,000 cavalry to the north, set up an ambush in the Liuzhou Pavilion area, and intercept these eight thousand Jurchens!" Li Xianzhong said.

"Okay!" Li Yanxian nodded and agreed.

Liuzhou Pavilion is a small town thirty miles north of Bei'anzhou. However, if you want to go there, you need to pass through Sixiangling, Shidouling and other places, and the road is also very difficult! It is the only way for the Jurchens to escape!

"I will force these 8,000 enemy troops away, and then set up an ambush on the road to try to annihilate them! This is the first battle to go north, and you must fight beautifully!" Li Xianzhong said.

He spoke, and the terrain around Bei'anzhou seemed to appear clearly in front of him, and the defenses everywhere in Bei'anzhou also seemed to appear clearly in front of him. He was confident that he would annex the eight thousand Jurchens at the lowest cost!

He was the commander of the Song Dynasty after Yue Fei and Han Shizhong during the Southern Song Dynasty. He once cooperated with Yu Yunwen to destroy the hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers led by the monarch Wanyan Liang. At this time, after he defected to Zhao Chen, he experienced countless battles of all sizes and sizes, and his talent in using troops was no longer inferior to the original Li Xianzhong in history! At this moment, he was truly confident!

*******

Gradually, the day passed and it was already late at night.

At this moment, in Bei'anzhou, it was quiet here.

This Bei'anzhou was originally a city built by the Liao people. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Bei'anzhou had become a ruin and was never seen again in later generations. Originally, it was an important city connecting the Central Beijing and Yanjing of Liao Kingdom. It was very prosperous because of the huge trade and trade exchanges. However, now it is empty. When the night comes, a curfew has been imposed here.

Among the prefecture yamen in Bei'an Prefecture, at the end is where Yelu Yun, the garrison of Bei'an Prefecture, lives!

Yelu Yun was born in the Khitan royal family. When the Jurchen invaded, he surrendered to the Jurchens, so he became the Jurchen guard!

The moonlight outside was bright, and Yelu Yun sat in the room and drank slowly.

The weather has become cold and the fire is lit in the house.

A woman dressed in Jurchen walked in from outside and sat next to Yelu Yun. This was Yelu Yun's wife. After he defected to the Jurchen, he had to marry this Jurchen noble woman named Wanyan Jing!

"It's already dark, isn't your husband still asleep?" Wanyan Jing said.

"I'm thinking about something!" Yelu Yun said.

"I don't know what's going on?" Seeing that the wine in Yelu Yun's cup had been drunk, Wanyan Jing picked up the wine pot and poured him another glass of it.

"It's nothing, it's just that Liaodong has not been quiet recently, and the Khitans in Liaodong have actually risen to rebel!" Yelu Yun said.

"After all, they are no match for our Jurchens! Some untold people are nothing to say!" Wanyan Jing said.

After Yelu Yun defected to the Jurchens, he had long regarded himself as a Jurchen, and Wanyan Jing has always regarded her husband as a Jurchen!

"I don't know what these untouchables think? I really don't understand why they rebel? General Zonghan has already negotiated with Yelu Dashi, saying that our Jurchens have cooperated with the Khitan, why are these untouchables still unable to understand? What reasons do they have to rebel?" Yelu Yun said.

"The untouchables are not sophisticated and do not understand the overall situation of the world, so they will naturally rebel." Wanyan Jing said.

But they didn't think that even the two or three million Khitans in Liaodong could not have enough food and countless people starved to death. How could they not rebel under such circumstances?

"The untouchables are indeed not worth worrying. By the end of the year, Lord Yelu Dashi will lead his troops south, and the Mongolian barbarians will lead their troops south, and we will attack the Central Plains again! At that time, it will be the end of the Han people!" Yelu Yun said.

"I wonder if we can defeat the Han people?" Wanyan Jing said.

"No problem! The Han people are actually not strong in strength. They just killed the Second Prince and the others by tricks! If their strength was really strong, they would have come out of Yanyun for more than a year. Unfortunately, they dare not. They are much less courageous than mice!" Yelu Yun said with a smile.

"That's true!" Wanyan Jing nodded.

"It's getting late, so we all rest early! Actually, I also want to participate in the battle to attack the Central Plains, but General Zong Han and others may attack the Han people from Datong, and will not descend from Juyong Pass! Although the Han people are incompetent and timid, Juyong Pass is defending like a turtle shell and is difficult to knock open. It is safest to attack the Central Plains from Datong!" Yelu Yun said.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, and had already stood up. At this moment, a loud noise came from outside.

"What's wrong?" Yelu Yun came outside and shouted.

"General, someone is coming to see you at this time. We said you are already asleep, and they are going to disturb you." A guard at the gate of the yard in the distance hurriedly reported.

"Oh? Who is it?" Yelu Yun said.

"There are some soldiers coming from Jiugongling!" said the guard.

"What do they want to report?" Yelu Yun said.

"They actually said that the Song army appeared in Jiugongling area! It's ridiculous. Who doesn't know that the Song army is timid and cowardly, and never dared to leave Juyongguan. How can it appear now?" the guard smiled.

Yelu Yun frowned and said, "Let them come to see me!"

Soon, more than a dozen soldiers entered the yard and knelt down in front of Yelu Yun and Wanyan Jing.

"How could the Song army appear in Jiugongling area? Could it be that the Song army's small army came out to investigate?" Yelu Yun said.

"General, not a small army, but an extremely large army! There are at least tens of thousands of people, maybe more!" said a soldier.

"Ten thousand people? How is it possible?" Yelu Yun said in disbelief.

"General, this matter is absolutely true. The Song army is about to come to our doorstep. We must be prepared quickly!" said the soldier.

"Impossible! The Song army is timid and will not take the initiative to come out of seclusion! The Song people are most easily satisfied. They got Yanyun and the Central Plains. The only thing they could do was to defend Yanyun and the Central Plains. They would no longer have the ambition to get more places!" Yelu Yun said.

"General, it's so true at this moment!" These dozen soldiers were extremely anxious at this moment!

The enemy's army is coming, and the generals are not prepared yet, how can they not be alarmed?

At this moment, a noisy sound came from outside, and Yelu Yun frowned and said, "What happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thousand-strong leader and several centurions broke in from a distance and said, "General, something is wrong! The Song army is here, and there are a lot of people!"

Yelu Yun was stunned and said, "What?"

The commander of the thousand men said: "General, we are stationed twenty miles away and are attacked by the Han people. Our hundreds of soldiers have been defeated. We can only report to you immediately!"

Yelu Yun said in disbelief: "Are you sure you read it right? The Song army really has the courage to come out of Juyongguan? How is that possible? They are Han people, and they should not have such courage!"

The chief of the thousand-man said anxiously: "General, hurry up and prepare the soldiers in the city!"

Yelu Yun originally didn't believe it, but two groups of people reported it one after another. He finally nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you once for the time being. If the Han people didn't come, I will definitely ask you!"
Chapter completed!
