Jiang Min walked out of the tent and took advantage of the glimmer of light in the sky to see the ground white. The cold wind whistled, with fine snowflakes, hitting people's faces and causing pain. The surrounding mountains and forests were mottled, some were white, some were

There is not even a single snowflake in the place.

Wang Dan followed forward and said, "If the weather in August is still extremely hot, it is already snowing here. People say that the sky is like August, and it is really true. This kind of place is different from the Central Plains, so it is not enough to do things.

easy."

Jiang Min said: "Hu Tian, ​​August Feixue, is not talking about here, but it must be further north. Although this place is colder than the Central Plains, it is still considered the Central Plains."

Wang Gan said: "What the ruler says is."

Jiang Min looked up at the sky and said to Wang Gan: "Call the others up. Have dinner early, we will set off early."

Wang Dankan promised and went back to call others.

In such places, Wang Xiaoliu’s army usually brings millet pancakes and mixes fried noodles as military rations. The soldiers quickly boiled water, and everyone ate breakfast with hot water. When the first smear of morning glow was sprinkled, they lined up on the flat ground.

Team.

Jiang Min stepped forward and said, "After we were defeated, the Jin army fled to the mountains in this area. We chased for two days. When we came back yesterday, we finally caught the traces of the Jin army. As early as today, we will be the day after tomorrow.

We will catch up with the Jin army. This battle is the first battle we have with the Jin army after entering Hedong! Needless to say, we must wipe out the enemy army!”

The soldiers and soldiers made a promise together and made a great reputation.

Jiang Min said: "I am hereby the order of the commander of Jie Zheng and come to Hedong to fight the Jin army. First, we must connect all the heroes from Hedong to expel the Jin army. Second, we must establish a base area and establish a team that can obey commands and fight. You can follow me.

From Zhongyuan, I have experienced a lot of hard work on the road. When I get here, I have to put the rest behind me, obey orders, and complete these two tasks. The task is very arduous, so everyone work hard together.”

After saying that, Jiang Min looked up at the mountains and said, "The Jin army fled into Yangjiao Mountain in the south. I guess I wanted to climb over the mountain to Yicheng County and go to Jiangzhou. Everyone should work harder and take these Jurchens.

Eliminate in this mountain!”

All the generals expressed their promises and headed towards the mountains under the guidance of the guide.

Jiang Min left Xiangyang under the order of Wang Xiaowei and came to the mountains of Hedong Road to develop its forces. There was Liang Xing in the east and Li Songchen in the west. Jiang Min chose Jinzhou in the middle. Although the road was not smooth, the east

With Ruzhou's support and Lu's County to the west, Jiang Min is not alone.

The Jin army guarded Hedong Road by Wanyan Yinshuke of Taiyuan Prefecture. There were not many soldiers and horses, only ten thousand people. Ten thousand Jin soldiers could travel across Jiangnan, but it was not enough to defend the place. Many prefectures and counties on Hedong Road

, it is just nominally following the Jin Dynasty and being governed by local governments.

The base area that Jiang Min chose was Shenshan County. It is located among the mountains, and you can reach Jinzhou to the west and Jiangzhou to the south, which is convenient for transportation. Although the place is relatively barren and cannot support much population, it is still suitable as a base area.

When he arrived at Hedong Road, Jiang Min's relationship with Li Songchen and Liang Xing was not easy to deal with. In principle, Li Songchen was the Hedong Road Punishment Envoy. Although this position is a false position in the eyes of everyone, it is an official position after all. Liang

Xingze was the leader of the Taihang Mountain Rebel Army. Although his official position was not high, his prestige on Hedong Road was very high. When Jiang Min came, it was difficult to deal with whether he was below or above the two.

Wang Xiaoli did not make it clear. He just appointed Jiang Min as Jinzhou and Jiangzhou to recruit pacification envoys, and develop forces behind enemy lines.

In the occupied areas such as Hedong, Hebei, Shaanxi, etc., various official positions should not be real. Send individuals to arrange positions at will. What really works is the relationship with the rear. In this sense, Jiang Min has an advantage

.

Shenshan County was originally managed by the local wealthy family, Lu Yan. He was very happy to hear Jiang Min's arrival. He specially slaughtered a cow to greet Jiang Min. From then on, Shenshan County had the background of Wang Xiaohunting in the rear. Who dared to underestimate it?

In Xiangyang, Wang Xiaohuo fought south and north, and never lost his battle with the Jin army. He was very famous in the north. Hedong Road, even in the small county of Shenshan, knew that Wang Jieshuai was thousands of miles away.

.

Everything went smoothly. Unexpectedly, a slave in Lu Yan's family ran to Jinzhou for wealth and reported. The Jin army sent more than 100 troops to attack the city, killed Lu Yan's family, and occupied Shenshan County.

Jiang Min was not in the city. His base area was chosen as a flat land on the shore of the dripping water at Yangjiao Mountain, twenty miles away from the county town. After receiving the news of the Jin army's siege, Jiang Min led his men to counterattack overnight and defeated the Jin army.

Small counties like Shenshan have sparse populations and no walls in the county. After defeating the Jin army, more than 20 people fled into the mountains, and Jiang Min led people to chase them all the way. Today is the third day, and they chased into the deep mountains.

.

It was already late August. The weather in the mountains changed unpredictably. In some places, leaves were all over the ground and the trees were bare. In some places, they were still lush and green, looking like the scenery that had just entered autumn.

It snowed last night, and the wind was cold and cold. I don’t know when I turned to the leeward place, and it was as warm as spring. Jiang Min’s men were mostly from Central Plains, so they were extremely uncomfortable with this kind of weather.

By noon, many people were already exhausted and kept breathing. Jiang Min had no choice but to ask for a rest and let everyone eat to replenish their energy. After resting for half an hour, then chase after him.

Sitting on a big rock, Jiang Min gnawed pancakes and looked at the stream in front of her. She had been chasing her for a day, but she had not seen the appearance of the Jin army. It was really anxious. It was said that the Jin soldiers could endure hardships, but today they finally saw it.

Wang Dan came over and said, "I think many people in the army can't hold on."

Jiang Min was silent for a while and said, "If you can't hold on, you have to chase after me. - Wait until the night, if someone really can't hold on, then send someone to stay and gather them, choose a place to wait. When we return to the army,

, go back together.”

Wang dared to hesitate and said, "For the rule, we lead troops to fight, and we are most afraid of dividing the troops. Some people can't hold on and stay, and others see it, and they won't chase after them anymore. In my opinion, either don't care about life or death,

We must follow the army to pursue the Jin army. Or we will return and stop chasing. The division of the army here will be unfavorable to the morale of the army."

Jiang Min said in a deep voice: "It is normal for a large army to move in a hurry, and it is normal for someone to keep up. Forcing them to take them will not only be in bad shape, but also slow down the speed of the entire army. It is necessary to divide the troops into place at the right time and gather them with a dedicated person.

The meaning is. If the morale of the army is disturbed, it means that the morale of the army is already very problematic. When we come here, we are going deep behind the enemy and fighting the Jurchens on the enemy's territory. Such an army is unusual and requires the morale of the army to be stable! If this

At that time, someone is greedy for pleasure and deliberately refuses to leave. Hum--"

Jiang Min didn't continue to say anything, but her eyes suddenly became sharp.
Chapter completed!
