1143 Yuguan

What Ye Lu Yue asked was exactly what Ye Qing was worried about. With Wanyan Jing's ability, he could not compete with Temujin. Even if the civil servants and military generals in the court could help him give him advice, at this moment, after Yelu Liuge and others rebelled, Wanyan Jing wanted to cut the mess quickly and rely on his own imperial command to quell the rebellion in a short period of time. There was almost no possibility.

But if the Jin Kingdom disappears and is controlled by Temujin or Yelu Liuge, this is obviously not what Ye Qing wants to see. He even imagines that once Temujin defeats Wanyan Jing, Wanyan Jing will be like Li An and Yelu Yue in his hands, which will allow Temujin to use Wanyan Jing's influence to cause trouble for himself, and even bewitch the Jin people behind his back to attack him.

Whether it is due to the only friendship between teachers and students, or the future stability of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Ye Qing cannot allow Wanyan Jing to be completely defeated by Wujing Road or completely destroyed the country.

He still needs Wanyan Jing and his remaining funds to help him serve as a strategic buffer against Mongolia and to help him recuperate. Even if Wanyan Jing is only hostile to him and even will form an alliance with the Mongolians, no matter what, any result will be more beneficial to him than letting the Jin people destroy the country.

The sky gradually became darker, and the slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie finally entered Yanjing alone. The Song army behind him gradually lit torches outside the tent of a white ocean, like stars in the night sky, and countless numbers were countless.

The Song army did not attack when the Qi Shilie's Gods slaves entered Yanjing City, but instead continued to camp outside the city, maintaining the sense of oppression that they should have against Yanjing.

Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can have begun to reorganize the army outside the city, and Sima Jian and Heng Qiao's army have also prepared to attack the city tomorrow at another city gate. In this way, the only city gates that can be left for Wanyan Shoudao and others to leave the city to go to Zhongjing Road, as well as the Jin prisoners who were imprisoned by the Song people and tens of thousands of war horses. At this time, they were quietly waiting for their masters, just like a gift from Ye Qing to the Jin people.

Standing outside the tent, feeling the dry and cold air. Even though it was already mid-February, the weather in the north was still extremely cold in the morning and night.

Yelu Yue stood next to Ye Qing. Now that she has removed her armor and restored her women's clothing, she has become the only highlight in the entire camp.

"Do you think the slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie can convince Wanyan to stop the Tao?" Yelu Yue asked with some concern.

The war started at the end of October last year, and although it has only been three or four months now, Yelu Yue’s body and mind are exhausted, especially the massacre led by Yelu Yixue at Niangziguan, which even made her tired of the war.

"It should be no problem." Ye Qing looked at the towering Yanjing City wall under the night. The scene when he first went to the Jin Kingdom to come to Yanjing City was as if it had happened yesterday. Whether it was the closed city gate or the city wall, he was so familiar, but also so unfamiliar: "What's more, I have another bargaining chip in my hand. If Wanyan Shoudao didn't want to be defeated, he should have abandoned the city and surrendered."

Wanyan Shoudao's two sons, Wanyan Gui, who was guarding Taiyuan Prefecture, were finally found on the night of breaking Taiyuan Prefecture, but his head was cut off by the soldiers. Wanyan Zhang, who was guarding Yanmen Pass, was kept by Ye Qing and kept by his side. It was not intentional, but it was really useful at this moment.

Holding Ye Qing's hand full of frostbite, looking at the terrifying cracks, gently caressing it, looking up and asking, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's better sooner or later, but when it's warm during the day, it feels particularly uncomfortable. It's extremely itchy, making people want to chop it up or pull it into a hole to let it bleed." Ye Qing looked at his other hand, which was also swollen.

Frostbite will get better quickly after spring, but the process is also extremely painful. Compared with the Liao people such as Yelu Yue, who have long been accustomed to the cold weather in the north, Ye Qing, like more soldiers, is still suffering hard.

While chatting with Yelu Yue in a casual manner, or listening to Yelu Yue telling all the interesting things she encountered along the way, or the Xia generals disobeying military orders that happened in the army that had happened in the army, Ye Qing would occasionally recall the question Yelu Yue asked him during the day, if Wanyan Jing was really defeated and was really captured, what should he do?

He put Ye Qinghong's swollen hands beside his mouth with some pain and heated up. However, he saw Ye Qing quietly looking at the city gate in the distance. At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up. As the fire became bigger and bigger, he realized that it was a man and horse carrying lanterns and rushing towards them.

However, before the single-handed lantern approached Ye Qing's camp, it was stopped by the Huahua family army in front of him.

"Go and bring Wanyan Zhang here." Ye Qing broke his hand away from Yelu Yue's hand, then took a few steps forward, and explained to Jia Shu who heard the news.

Yelu Yue quietly looked at the thin Ye Qing, led a war horse and turned over, and ran towards the front of the camp.

After joining Ye Qing, Yelu Yue handed over the full power of military power in her hands to Yelu Yixue, so now she is like a bystander in the camp with a tense atmosphere and a sense of depression, as if everything has nothing to do with her, and she can look at the problem from the perspective of an bystander.

That indescribable comfort and the joy of seeing Ye Qing made Yelu Yue, who was deeply exhausted after leading the troops for several months, feel more and more tired of physically and mentally, like this state of being idle and extra relaxed.

The nearly 200,000 army has now been reorganized by Ye Qing into three armies, Sima Jian and Heng Qiao's army, Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can's army, and Yelu Yixue's army alone. The camp under the city of Yanjing where she and Ye Qing are now is completely under the responsibility of the Zhuanghua Family Army.

Yelu Yuedang

However, he also knew that Ye Qing gave Yelu Yixue the right to stand alone because of her Yelu Yue's face. It was precisely because of this that Yelu Yue's heart was filled with a deep sense of satisfaction and happiness when he looked at the back that had faintly merged into the night.

I looked up at the night sky unconsciously and prayed silently in my heart: I hope there will be no more war after this war.

Qi Shilie's Gods slave sat upright on the horse's back, and opposite him was Ye Qing who had just arrived. In just a while, behind Ye Qing was under the illumination of several torches, and the sound of rapid footsteps came.

Wanyan Zhang was brought to him by Ye Qing's people, and even a war horse followed him. Obviously, Ye Qing already knew his purpose of leaving the city again.

"The Old General Wanyan sincerely invited Lord Ye to enter the city to speak." Qi Shilie's god slave looked at Wanyan Zhang with a listless expression, and felt a little mixed in his heart. If he hadn't lost Yanmen Pass carelessly, the Great Jin Kingdom might not have fallen into the current predicament so soon.

Ye Qing looked at the Qi Shilie's Gods Slave with a calm expression and couldn't help but smile: "You don't have the ability to lie, let alone this strategy of asking you to get into the trap is useless to me at this moment. You have also seen that if this army of nearly 200,000 people are all over the mountains and fields, if they want to attack the city tomorrow morning, it will only take one day. I believe that by this time tomorrow, Yanjing City will still be taken down by me. The difference is just to die more or fewer people."

Qi Shilie's Gods Slaughter sighed helplessly. This was the most familiar place for them. Even though the city of Yanjing has not been lost and has not surrendered yet, the familiar feeling has disappeared without a trace as the Song people's troops arrived at the city.

When he entered Yanjing City not long ago, everything he had already become stranger in his eyes, as if he was not entering Yanjing City, which he was usually familiar with, but a strange city that he had just arrived.

Even the terrain outside Yanjing City should be particularly familiar to him. But looking at the Song army covered with the entire world in front of him, all this made him inexplicably feel a deep sense of distance from this land, as if... he had never belonged to this place, but this place should belong to the Song people.

"You will let all our captives go with me?" Qi Shilie's Gods slave confirmed.

"Look there, you have already prepared it after you enter the city. More than 20,000 prisoners and 10,000 war horses have all been prepared for you. The morning of the morning is right. If you have not been able to surrender, then you don't have to come out to surrender again. I will take this city by myself." Ye Qing's figure sitting on the back of the horse became tall instantly, especially the domineering finger of the Yanjing City behind the Qi Shilie Gods Slave, which was quite a bit of guidance and a look of looking down on the world.

"Where are the weapons?" asked the slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie.

"There are only waist knives, bows and arrows, and only wait for you to arrive..." Ye Qing said lightly.

"But if we leave the city, you set up an ambush on our must-pass road..." The slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie felt like they were bitten by a snake for ten years and were afraid of the ropes. Since they were ambushed by Yelu Yue, their tone has not been smooth even now.

Moreover, in his fight with Yelu Yue, he had the upper hand only in his initial encounter. Then, he started to fight with Yelu Yue, and was at a disadvantage in every battle with him. He was even beaten by Yelu Yue with a perfect ambush, forcing him to escape east in a very embarrassed manner.

Whether facing Ye Qing or Yelu Yue, the Gods Slave Qi Shilie had never taken any advantage, but when fighting with others, the Gods Slave Qi Shilie had never been as powerful as facing these couples, and they were almost equivalent to having no power to fight back and only being passively beaten.

Ye Qing and Yelu Yue almost became the source of bad luck for the slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie, so even at this time, they were ready to surrender, but for some reason, they still felt in their hearts that this insidious and cunning couple would indulge him again.

Of course, Ye Qing heard Yelu Yue proudly telling herself more than once how she beat the Gods slave Qi Shilie to a perfect ambush.

He shook his head helplessly, looked at the gods of Qi Shilie and said, "I care more about Wanyan Jing than the life and death of you and Wanyan Shoudao. I will let you go without any obstacles because I don't want to see Wanyan Jing defeated Temujin."

"Okay, I believe you." Qi Shilie's Gods slaves paused, turned their heads at the same time after Wanyan Zhang stepped on the war horse, and suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Qing and said, "Once we quell the rebellion, we will regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun again. You will be defending, and our Great Jin Kingdom will give a try. I also want to see if you can defend the city as well as you are sieging the city."

"Then I might as well advise you more to give up Yuguan, because no matter whether you give up or not, I will conquer Yuguan and drive you out of the pass completely, making it difficult for you to step into the Central Plains in the future!" Ye Qing's eyes flashed with the reflection of the torch, and at this moment it actually gave people a strange feeling.

Qi Shilie's Gods Slave opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but thinking that he was about to abandon the city and surrender, he was not qualified to argue with Ye Qing here, so he had to snort, "Then let's go and see."

Looking at the departure of the Gods slaves of Qi Shilie and Wanyan Zhang, Ye Qing's originally easy-going smile gradually turned into a murderous sneer.

"Let Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can, Yelu Yixue, Heng Qiao, and Sima Jian come to the Central Army to discuss matters." Ye Qing said to Jia She next to him, and then turned his horse's head to go deep into the camp.

There was no saying about Shanhaiguan at this time, but only after the Ming Dynasty built the pass and established the guards, the Shanhaiguan was said to be more called Yuguan now, which is extremely strange to the Song people. After all, this is them

A place I've never been to.

But for the Liao people, especially Yelu Yue and Yelu Yixue, although they are also unfamiliar, they are still full of blood that their ancestors have lived outside the pass. For everything outside the pass, they are at least emotionally closer than those of the Song people today.

The five people summoned to the central army tent looked at each other because no trace of Yelu Yue was found in it. After all, Yelu Yue is one of the commanders under Ye Qing's current command. Even after meeting with Ye Qing, he handed over the army to Yelu Yixue for disposal, but he should be present at this time, right?

"What are you looking for? Yelu Tieyi has handed over the full power of the Wujiang Army to Yelu Yixue. She will not lead troops to fight in the future. If Wanyan Shou said that he would leave the city and surrender tomorrow, Yelu Yue will deal with other matters in Yanjing City." Ye Qing looked at the five people stretched their necks and looked around, and couldn't help but say coldly.

After watching the five people shrink their necks unconsciously, Ye Qing opened the map on the desk, and his fingers continued from Yuguan by the sea from the intermittent Great Wall to the vicinity of Xingqing Mansion. Then he looked at the territory south of the Great Wall and said, "Now there is only one gap left. As long as you take Yuguan, you can completely drive the Jin people out of the pass."

"So what I mean is... Let's set off for Yuguan immediately?" Zhong Can glanced at the map, then calculated it in his mind and said, "This is at least five or six hundred miles away, right?"

"The Dading Prefecture is also nearly five or six hundred miles away from Yuguan. From Yanjing, through Jizhou, heading north to Dading Prefecture, and straight east to Yuguan, Jizhou is the gateway to Yanjing, and Yuguan is the gateway to Jizhou. Once Yuguan is lost, the iron cavalry outside the pass can threaten Yanjing within ten days. Therefore, the Jin people will never have few troops in Yuguan at this time."

Looking at the five confused faces, Ye Qing bit his lip and continued, "I was thinking that Wanyan Jing might think that I would ignore Yuguan, so as to retake the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and leave a passage for him. At first I was wondering what was the reason why Wanyan Jing abandoned the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun so simply. The rebellion of Wujing Road may be an important reason, but it is not ruled out that he might think that I would ignore Yuguan, or maybe he still had a large number of troops stationed here in Yuguan, so he dared to abandon the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun so simply."

"Just just now when I saw the Gods Slave Qi Shilie, before he left, I deliberately mentioned Yuguan. Although the Gods Slave Qi Shilie looked quite calm, his eyes were obviously filled with panic. Yanjing is almost equal to the Dading Mansion, and now Wanyan Jing is in Dading Mansion, so it is probably difficult to take care of Yuguan..."

"Sir, let's go." Yelu Yixue suddenly interrupted Ye Qing's words and looked at Ye Qing and asked for his order.

The eyes of Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can, Heng Qiao and Sima Jian instantly gathered on Yelu Yixue, and the four of them were more or less surprised.

Yelu Yixue's identity was originally a general under Yelu Yue's command. Even now, he has never changed. This is also his impression in everyone's hearts.

Although Yelu Yue has handed over the Wujiang Army to him,... no matter how many times the mixed army of Song, Xia and Liao people have been merged to varying degrees through this battle, there is still a vague difference between the generals.

Ye Qing also looked at Yelu Yixue. Unlike the unconcealed surprise on Mo Xiaobao and the other four, Ye Qing's expression was extremely calm and calm, as if the one who just asked for the appointment was not Yelu Yixue, but other more confidant Song generals.

"How many people do you need?" Ye Qing looked straight at Yelu Yixue and asked calmly, both in his expression and tone.

"Fifty thousand troops are enough." Yelu Yixue said firmly.

"I will give you 70,000 people. Except for the Huahua Army, you can choose all the troops." Ye Qing's calm eyes were full of encouragement for Yelu Yixue at this moment, which made Yelu Yixue feel a little moved in his heart.

When he spoke, he felt a little regretful, especially when Mo Xiaobao and the other four looked at him, he wanted to take back what he had just said.

When Ye Qing slowly raised his head and looked at him, although Yelu Yixue looked calm, he was already nervous as if he was surging. He didn't know how Ye Qing would decide, and he even felt that his words had put Ye Qing in a dilemma.

Although there were only five people in the tent, no matter which of Mo Xiaobao and the other four seemed to be more qualified to ask for a fight in front of Ye Qing than him.

"Except for the Wujie Army, the rest of the generals are willing to listen to the orders of the Lord." Yelu Yixue could feel that the words he said were trembling at this moment.

"The Wujiang Army has 20,000 people. Mo Xiaobao, you four will be transferred 10,000 people to Commander Yelu Yixue, and the other 10,000 people will be responsible for the supply of food and grass, and they will also be allocated from the army of four of you. How about?" Ye Qing's tone was full of unquestionable.

"Yes, sir." Mo Xiaobao and the other two said in unison.

After receiving the four people's answers, Ye Qing continued to look down at the map and said slowly: "Let's go tomorrow at the hour of the day, and now you will go hand in hand."

As the five of them stood up, they were about to turn around and leave, and when they looked down at Ye Qing, who looked at the map, they suddenly said lightly: "Don't embarrass Yelu Tieyi, Yuguan can't take it, you Yelu Yixue will still be punished by military law."

"Yes, sir, I will definitely not disappoint you." Yelu Yixue's originally trembling tone was now full of trembling excitement and joy.
