After Dong Chao fed hot water last night, let Ye Qing take a comfortable hot bath, and after soaking her feet for half an hour, Ye Qing felt as if she had finally come back to life.

Although the clothes he brought were old, they were still cotton. I can't tell you the material, but at least it was much dry and warmer than his clothes soaked in snow.

Ye Qing was already extremely comfortable in the chef's firewood house. Naturally, he was also concerned about Jia She who was still outside the pass and Xu Han who didn't know where he was now.

He naturally knew how hard it was to feel on a snowy night, and even more so how cold and hard it was when the wet military uniforms and cotton clothes were at night.

You can neither ignite the fire in the mountains to keep warm, nor take off all your baking clothes. You can only clean out a snow-free place, and then gather the war horses together, and hide in it to avoid the wind and cold.

"Is there a way to get on this city wall?" After changing into Dong Chao's clothes and his beard on his face, Ye Qing was completely a farmer at this moment.

"I'm afraid it won't work now. It's about the same in another hour." Dong Chao helped Ye Qing bake his original clothes, lowered his head and continued: "The Jin people patrol the pass is basically in the morning, afternoon, and before the sun is about to set, at night, there are defenders stationed at the beacon tower, and there are guards at the enemy building."

Ye Qing sighed slightly. Although he was worried about Jia She, Xu Han and others outside, he still needed to know more about Yanmen Pass. He also needed to wait for his own guess to be verified in a short time.

"Is there anyone with umbrellas outside the pass?" Ye Qing asked again.

The reason why Yanmen Pass is called the first dangerous pass is not only because of its military role, but because of the importance of Yanmen Pass, the importance of Shuozhou, Yingzhou, Huanzhou and Yunzhou outside has become much smaller. The sixteen states of Yanyun belong to the Great Wall, but the reason why Yanmen Pass was punished outside the Neiguan Pass was entirely because Yanmen Pass was also within the circular Great Wall at this time.

This means that in addition to the fortresses built according to natural barriers, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun also have the undulating Great Wall as the first line of defense, defending the entire Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and will not be seized by the Mongolians in a short period of time.

"There are all in all states, but now it is difficult to contact the last general because of heavy snow." Dong Chao said helplessly.

Although he was just an inconspicuous friend in Yanmen Pass, since Ye Qing put him in the Jin Dynasty, Dong Chao has been operating in this area for many years. Even a few years ago, Dong Chao's identity as a merchant here has a great influence.

However, after Ye Qing began to attack the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Dong Chao had to remove himself from his identity as a merchant and personally entered the four prefectures headed by Yanmen Pass.

Looking at Ye Qing's slightly sigh, the keen Dong Chao asked unconsciously: "Sir, but if there is something to do, I need to be the last one..."

"The news from Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can, Xin Qiji, even Lao Liutou, Zhao Qier and others was also because of the heavy snow. It was difficult for me to judge where they were now. What's more,..." Ye Qing slowly stood up and looked at the earthen wall of the woodshed, as if the map of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that had been engraved in his mind was already hung on the earthen wall. After a moment of pause, he said in a deep voice: "Not only do you have no idea about your own news, but now we are also lacking in the news of the Mongols and Jin people. If you want to take down Yanmen Pass, it is naturally impossible to attack."

Ye Qing was already discouraged at this time. Even though he had only one-sided understanding of the tip of the iceberg of Yanmen Pass last night, Ye Qing had already clearly realized that it was almost impossible for him to conquer Yanmen Pass with more than 10,000 people outside the pass.

And where Xu Han is now, whether he has lost his direction in the mountains and ridges, and whether he has met with Jia She is unknown.

"Before the last general entered the pass, it is certain that the Mongols and the Khitan Liao people had already contacted each other." Dong Chao said firmly. Besides, he had also informed Ye Qing of this matter in time. Of course, he also knew that Ye Qing now wanted to know how far the Mongolians and the Khitan Liao people have developed and how much pressure the Jin people have put on, but he also didn't know about these.

Whether it is Yanmen Pass or the four prefectures of Yunzhou, which are fifty or sixty miles north of Yanmen Pass, and the farthest is only a hundred miles away, their troops are still very complete at this time. They did not go to Yanjing or other places to help the Jin court because of the support of the Khitan Liao people in the Mongols.

So this naturally made Ye Qing, who was blinded, began to feel a little worried. He didn't know whether the rebellion of the Khitan Liao people continued with the support of the Mongols, or whether... it had been pacified by the Jin people in a short period of time.

After entering Yanmen Pass, Ye Qing was like a modern person who lost his mobile phone in later generations. He suddenly felt as if he had completely lost contact with the outside world. Especially when he saw that Yanmen Pass was so majestic and solid, Ye Qing began to feel a little anxious.

Dong Chao was very familiar with the entire Yanmen Pass. Although he was just a little kid now, he neither had to cook for the Jin people nor report to anyone. He discussed various things with Ye Qing in the Chai House.

Since last night, Dong Chao began to tell Ye Qing about all the things he had in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun over the years, Ye Qing then realized that although Dong Chao is just a small man, he is a man with a wide connection in this area. Although he is still unable to be a Jin general of Wanyan Zhang, Dong Chao is now extremely confused among some low-level Jin generals.

What surprised Ye Qing even more was that although Yunzhou is still under the control of the Jin people, if Ye Qing could take down Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop, Yunzhou would immediately surrender to him as soon as possible.

Yunzhou is the farthest from Yanmen Pass, about a hundred miles away, while the rest, such as Yingzhou, Huanzhou and Shuozhou, are almost a short distance from Yanmen Pass. Standing on the city wall, you can see clearly the appearance of these three passes.

At this time, under the leadership of Dong Chao, Ye Qing silently looked at Dong Chao's seemingly inexhaustible and endless sleeve bags, and when they climbed the Yanmen Pass wall, Dong Chao was stuffed some soldiers, and he even felt a little funny.

Who would have thought that Dong Chao, who was a bandit, still looks inconspicuous now, is actually a talented person.

Standing on the wall of Yanmen Pass, feeling the fierce cold wind blowing through your face. At this time, looking at the entire Yanmen Pass and the snow-covered mountains in the four states is completely different from the scene you saw when you were struggling through the mountains and ridges.

What you can think of at this moment is the scenery of the north, which is frozen thousands of miles away and snow falling thousands of miles away. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there are only the vastness.

After looking at the enemy building not far away and the beacon tower not far away on the other side, and patting the brown city wall with his hand, Ye Qing finally said with emotion: "The people outside Yanmen Pass do not raise mulberry silkworms or plant hemp. There is no pear and jujube tree for a hundred miles, so how can you get peach and apricot blossoms in the third spring? In June, rain over the snow on the hillside, and the strong wind blows yellow sand everywhere. He said he doesn't believe it to the people in Jiangnan, so he wears fur coats early and wears gauze in noon."

When Dong Chao heard this, he nodded and said, "No, in the case here, if you talk about the wine bags that Lin'an would be given, you probably wouldn't know what the lord said."

As he spoke, Dong Chao's expression became solemn. Looking at the mountains that were stretched out in front of him, he continued: "Although the north is difficult, I have to say that only in such a harsh environment can a good iron army be honed. Just like when the adults put the flower planting army on the grassland, I really admired the adults' vision, and I saw through all this at that time."

"There are many of the baby soldiers in your hands in the flower family... now there are many of them." Ye Qing looked sad. He promised Dong Chao that he would not have to worry about food and drink, and could still make a living by relying on military merits. But now... one-third of the thousands of people who had died in battle at the battlefield.

"Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven, so you don't have to mind. If it weren't for the support of you back then, we would have starved to death on the mountain. Even if we survived by chance, how many people could be as proud as today? All this is given by you, Dong Chao will never forget it in this life." I don't know if it was because the wind on the city wall was too strong or other reasons, Dong Chao's voice was a little choked at this moment, and his eyes looked a little red.

"After fighting this battle, whether it is you, me, or these soldiers who follow me to fight, can rest well." Ye Qing raised his head. Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures was the territory he dreamed of taking over. Only after taking over Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures would he feel that he is worthy of his identity and the great civilization of the Chinese nation's long-standing history.

If he can't take over the Sixteen State of Yanyun, not only will he not be able to sleep peacefully, but he will also feel sorry for his identity as a prophet. In the same way, no matter how big the official position or the honorable title he is given, he will not feel at ease.

Now even though he is called a slander in the court and a hero in the north, Ye Qing is firmly aware of what he is insisting on and what he is insisting on.

He doesn't care about the infamy, infamy, or crime he bears, but he hopes that his life and his children can live in a truly peaceful world, rather than a world that is swaying under the iron hooves of nomads.

"Sir, look over there." Dong Chao suddenly looked shocked, and he quickly pointed to a mountain in Xiangyang outside the city wall and said.

Under the sunlight, it is difficult for people to look directly at the snow-white mountain in Xiangyang at this moment, but even so, Ye Qing still squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Dong Chao's finger.

"Sir, do you look like it?" Dong Chao asked in surprise, looking at the snow-white mountain.

Ye Qing hurriedly walked a few steps to the other side of the city wall, hoping that it would be more realistic, and a crooked r was faintly drawn on the mountain.

"Yes, it's the signal Jia She gave me." Ye Qing also felt excited and confirmed in his heart.

When parting with Jia She, Ye Qing made an agreement with Jia She that once he approached Yanmen Pass, he would find a clear mountain and write a lowercase r, but if he had the chance to connect with Xu Han, he would write a capital r.

So now, when Ye Qing saw the capital r, he was naturally very excited.

This is enough to show that Xu Han was not lost in the mountains and ridges, but actually had already met with Jia She.

There is a huge difference between capital and lowercase, not to mention that Jia She didn't know at all, and he didn't know what the letter meant, so it was impossible to write it incorrectly. Although it was ugly on the mountain, he even thought it was not covered by snow at first, but he wouldn't have noticed it if Dong Chao hadn't reminded him.

The heart that had been worried about Xu Han and Jia She was finally able to put it back in his stomach. Ye Qing, who had originally looked depressed, became energetic at this moment. While walking under the city wall with Dong Chao, he began to plan how to get close to the core position of the Yanmen Pass defender and get the exact position of Wanyan Zhang.

And just as they walked down the city wall, deep in Yanmen Pass, the sound of horns and war drums suddenly sounded.

Ye Qing hurriedly looked up at the beacon towers that he could see. At this time, no wolf smoke rose from it. He couldn't help but look at Dong Chao next to him in confusion.

"I'll go inquire. Sir, please rest in the woodshed." Dong Chao immediately said to Ye Qing without waiting for Ye Qing to speak.

Dong Chao of Yanmen Pass is more familiar than Ye Qing. Moreover, the incident of climbing the city wall just now can be seen that Dong Chao is still quite at Yanmen Pass. At least he can walk around at Yanmen Pass without anyone coming forward to interrogate.

After nodding and asking Dong Chao to be careful, Ye Qing walked towards the woodshed, and the two hundred personal soldiers who had been infiltrated with him now had gathered in front of the cow pen.

Unlike Ye Qing who also had the treatment of spending the night in a woodshed room, the personal soldiers could only spend the night in a weed shed full of forage and air-flowing on all sides last night.

But even so, Ye Qing's personal soldiers were already satisfied. After all, there were more people outside who wanted to spend this difficult night after night in the snow.

Obviously, the two hundred personal soldiers were also gathered by the sob sound of horns and war drums. When they saw Ye Qing coming, a few immediately walked towards Ye Qing, while the rest either walked into the hay shed as usual, or pretended to feed the cows and horses in front of the cow pen.

"Don't panic, it's not that we've discovered us, otherwise we'll have been surrounded. And..." Ye Qing signaled the few personal soldiers in front of him to look at the beacon tower on the city wall not far away, and continued: "The beacon tower has not been rising, which means that it is not an invasion of foreign enemies."

"Sir, you should be careful..." the personal soldier whispered.

After Jia She was missing, these people became the main guards in front of Ye Qing. In Jia She's words, even if you die, you must not let Lord Ye be injured at all.

He reached out and patted the guards in front of him with a serious look. Ye Qing smiled relaxedly and comforted: "Don't panic. In my opinion, there should be something wrong with the Jin people. Maybe it's a good thing for us."

The smile on Ye Qing's lips gradually began to become solemn. Rather than pointing straight to Guanshan, just to lead more than 10,000 people outside to attack Guanshan, it would be better to say that he was waiting for this moment in Yanmen Pass.

He led his troops to advance towards Yanmen Pass, Yelu Yue led an army of 30,000 to attack Niangzi Pass, Zhong Can, Mo Xiaobao, and Xin Qiji launched an attack on the Jin people from Hebei East Road. Lao Liutou, Zhao Qier and Poli San walked on the water route to the Zhigu Ferry, pointing directly to Yanjing, which was only two hundred miles away.

At the same time, on the Wujing Road north of Yanjing, Yelu Liuge and Yelu Sibu had already risen up and wanted to rebel. In such a severe situation of internal and external difficulties, how could the Jin people still be able to have sufficient troops everywhere?

According to Dong Chao's observation, the military strength of Yanmen Pass has never decreased, which is enough to show that either the Khitan Liao people on the Wujing Road were quickly pacified, and Mo Xiaobao, Lao Liutou and others encountered the tenacious resistance of the Jin people, so that the Jin people did not have to mobilize troops from various passes.

But will the Jin Dynasty have such good national destiny? The support of the Khitan Liao people was from the Mongols. Ye Qing had been planning for a long time, so the worst case mentioned above would never happen. This only shows that due to the heavy snow, the Jin people were able to dispatch troops to Yanmen Pass to Yanjing today.

The Jin soldiers at Yanmen Pass suddenly became busy, but this made Ye Qing, who was originally anxious, finally let go of the big stone in his heart.

His initial anxiety came from his ignorance of the external situation. Now, since the Jin soldiers at Yanmen Pass have been in motion, it is enough to show that the original plan was not curbed by the Jin people. On the contrary, the Jin people may be unable to resist on both sides.
