Chapter 852 The court has come
Although most of the more than 1,000 people led by Ye Qing were mainly the old Beiwei Army, these people were more ruthless and steady and comprehensive than others who grew up in the war.
With a few loud whistles hovering over Guguan, the Huahua family army, who had just entered the city, immediately launched a massacre-style offensive on the spot. The Xia soldiers of Guguan who were caught off guard had no time to react to what was going on, and they were already in different places.
Some Xia soldiers even stood up and asked: What are you doing after seeing their companions being cut off by the Song people?
Then, facing the Song people who sneered and brought the sword over, they didn't know how to draw the sword and fight back, but turned around and looked at the gate of the Guanying camp, wanting to report to their garrison Li Ren that the Song army had killed someone.
But before he could report, no one would respond to his words, he flew lightly and effortlessly. His eyes were filled with innocent and questioning, as he rolled out a long way as his head rolled out, and he seemed to be still asking stupidly: Why should I kill me?
The head was kicked around by the legs and feet that were trapped in chaos. At this time, Xia Bing entered the yin Cao's mansion with many questions and ignorance until his death. The Song army obviously knew what he needed to attack Guguan.
No one shouted and ordered, but everyone started to fall into chaos and fight. The warning sounds of each person in the camp were all performing their duties, killing people, chasing people, chasing people, and chasing people, looking for the beacon tower. The crossbow in his hand instantly picked up the trigger without mercy, and the arrows entered Xia Bing's heart.
In just a short period of time, when Ye Qing, under the escort of Jia She and other personal soldiers, entered the pass camp, there were already a sound of fighting, crying, and screaming in the entire pass camp.
The spear in Jia She's hand was raised high, and Li Ren's head was covered with blood. From time to time, he was bleeding on the trajectory of the spear he waved: "See clearly who this person's head is! Don't surrender!"
Jia Shezhong roared with great enthusiasm, but all he could hear was Xia Bing who was fighting with him. The chaos in the attic or the camp in the distance continued without hesitation.
Next to the beacon tower not far from Guandaying, the bodies of Xia soldiers fell from a high altitude. The wolf smoke that had just been lit had not yet come out of black smoke, and the soldiers rushed over from the Huahua Army carried buckets to extinguish them. Even a stream of blue smoke did not allow it to rise into the air.
The resistance of the Xia soldiers continued. Jia She had to follow Ye Qing's order, and under the protection of dozens of soldiers, holding a spear and running around with her head, running and roaring: "Li Ren is dead, why don't you surrender quickly!"
As Jia She said, especially Li Ren's head picked on his spear, was recognized by Xia Bing, so almost where Jia She and others passed, Xia Bing put down his weapons in disbelief or gave up resistance.
The sound of iron hoofs sounded outside the camp again, causing the entire camp to tremble. After Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can led the others into the camp, Ye Qing immediately began to hand over Mo Xiaobao, and then led the first thousand people to continue to the next gate.
"Sir..." Mo Xiaobao looked around and saw that there were only intermittent fighting screams left, and said, "Although Dazhen Pass is the second level of Guanlong Road, it has always been guarded by heavy troops. This time the number of people is definitely not a small number..."
Ye Qing shook his wrists, looked at the time, and then looked up at the sun above his head habitually, and said lightly: "It's just the way to do it. What's more, I'm going to go on a rush now, and it will be sunset when I arrive at the Great Zhen Pass, which is also in line with our itinerary. As long as the news here is not leaked, it's not difficult to enter the Great Zhen Pass."
"Fit inside and outside!" Mo Xiaobao nodded, looked at Ye Qing's faint but determined expression, and finally gave up persuading Ye Qing to replace him with the leader.
"Assing orders." Ye Qing patted Mo Xiaobao on the shoulder, turned around and took the reins handed over by Jia She and turned over the horse, then suddenly turned around and said, "There is no psychological burden, right?"
Mo Xiaobao revealed two rows of white teeth: "It might have been there before, but now it won't."
"That's good." Ye Qing also smiled easy-goingly, and began to lead his troops out of Guguan and head towards the next stop of Dazhenguan.
It was completely expected that it would be easy to break through Gu Pass, so no matter Ye Qing or the more than a thousand people behind him, they did not seem excited. On the contrary, after leaving Gu Pass, the momentum of the entire army seemed a little colder in the sun, and was also filled with unprecedented solemn smell.
Whether it is Jia She or the Huahua Army behind them, they are no longer rookies and novices on the battlefield, so they all have their own judgments and know that the easier the war begins, the more tragic and difficult the war will be.
This time they can successfully attack, but they may not be able to successfully attack next time. On the battlefield, they speak with their strength. Those who have always believed in good luck have long been a pile of bones on the battlefield.
Jia She sneered, slowing down Ye Qing's troops and passing the order to rest on the horse's back, and then he said to himself next to Ye Qing who was frowning: "Since the Xia people want your life, they should pay the price. If it were me, I would never be merciful. I will not let go of Xia Bing in Guguan."
Ye Qing glanced at Jia She, then smiled and said, "Okay, I know what you think. Mo Xiaobao is different from you. He is a child who has lived on begging on Lin'an Yujie Street. Although he is sometimes kind, he knows the importance of it at critical moments. Being able to become a general of the first army from an orphan in Yujie who everyone wants to bully, and always be kind to the world. This is Mo Xiaobao's uniqueness. So don't worry, he doesn't like bullying the weak, but it doesn't mean he is willing to let the weak hurt himself."
Jia She smiled embarrassedly. Indeed, when Ye Qing explained to Mo Xiaobao, he felt a little unstable. Compared with Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can, although Mo Xiaobao was extremely sarcastic in leading the army to fight, the cruelty and ruthlessness of Mo Xiaobao's body was a little worse than Zhong Can't.
So when Ye Qing asked Mo Xiaobao that he would not have any psychological burden, Jia She thought of reminding Ye Qing that he might as well leave this matter to Zhong Can, instead of Mo Xiaobao who was a little kind in his heart.

There are only more than a thousand Xia soldiers guarding the pass. With the death of the defending general Li Ren, so to be on the safe side, the Xia soldiers should not be allowed to spread the news of Guguan outside immediately, or if they were learned by the Great Zhenguan in front of them, there was only one way to wipe out the entire way.
The sun hung high in the air. As the flower-planting army in Guanlongdao continued to move forward, and as the bloody smell above Guguan became stronger and stronger, it had already unknowingly turned westward. The afterglow of gold turned into a set sun like blood, making Guguan particularly bleak and weird. The entire Guan camp was quiet without any sound.
Similarly, in the hall of Jingzhaofu Road Office, Yu Yunwen, Lao Liutou, Zhao Qier, Poli San, Li Heng, Li Zhongfang, and Tian Lin were all frowning and their faces were solemn. I don’t know what to do next.
It has been nearly half a month since they were unable to contact Ye Qing, and the latest news about Ye Qing was the news that Ye Qing gave them a little peace when he was about to arrive at Xingqing Mansion. Since then, the frontiers of the Xia people and Song Realm have completely entered a state of war, and everything has been isolated.
The solemn and dull atmosphere was broken by the rapid footsteps outside. The Wu Jue Shen was solemn, but he walked in with a little joy. Before he could speak, Yu Yunwen and the other seven people stood up at the same time: "How is Ling's injury?"
"It's okay, but I'm still a little weak. Lord Ye is probably already entering Guanshan now, but Wu Lian doesn't know which pass by the pass and enter Jingzhao Mansion. The order given to him is to give him three days to find out who is preparing to respond. Lord Ye's original words to Wu Lian were: I'll give you three days, I want to know how many people there are in Yu Yunwen now, and I also need to know whether Old Liu, Li Heng, Wu Jue, and Jue Wu are all in Jingzhao Mansion..." Jue Wu said with a bitter expression.
"So, Wu Lian is like annihilated? Only others escaped?" Old Liu frowned and sighed, "Didn't Wu Lian say when Lord Ye plan to set off?"
Judge Wu shook his head and said, "According to Wu Lian's intention, Lord Ye should wait for his news before setting off, but Xingqing Mansion obviously won't let him stay for a long time. Now it has been two days since the deadline for Lord Ye to give Wu Lian, so I guess, Lord Ye may have guessed that Wu Lian had encountered an unexpected situation, so..."
"So Lord Ye is already at a certain pass in Guanshan at this time. He cannot continue to stay in Xingqing Mansion in order to wait for news from Wu Lian. Judging from Lord Ye's military use, he will never let Xingqing Mansion notice it. He has roughly known their plans and thus lose his only advantage." Yu Yunwen said with a long sigh.
"But does he really have to choose to shake Guanshan? The two Guanshan roads, whether it is Qinjiayuan Road or Guanlong Road, one has five passes and the other has six passes. However, no matter which one, there are Xia people stationed troops to guard. If it is a pity, the five thousand people he led is tantamount to hitting stones with eggs." Poole Li San frowned deeply, looked at the people in the hall, and continued: "But even this method is tantamount to sending death, it is very likely that he would be the way he chose to take risks, and it is also the only way to break through the pass under his situation."
Yu Yunwen frowned. No matter how he guessed, he could only guess now, and he could not know what Ye Qing was planning. Moreover... Even if Ye Qing beat Guanshan hard, there were two official roads in Guanshan. Which one would Ye Qing choose?
"General Liu, General Li, you are the most familiar with Lord Ye, especially Lord Li. He was sent to the Shenjin Army with Lord Ye back then. So based on your understanding, if Lord Ye beat Guanshan, which official road would he choose to go?" Yu Yunwen asked with a frown.
Although he has known Ye Qing for many years, when it comes to familiarity and understanding, he still has to be the best of Lao Liu and Li Heng.
Old Liu and Li Heng looked at each other, and then almost said in unison: "We should be on Guanlong Road."
"Why?" several voices, including Yu Yunwen and Wu Jue, asked together.
Li Heng glanced at the Wu Jue Wu, who knew it immediately and quickly picked up a map from the corner and spread it on the ground. So the generals of the fifth route of the North Land squatted in the center of the hall like farmers.
Li Heng cleared his throat, then pointed to Guanshan, and said, "In terms of my understanding of Lord Ye, I, Li Heng, are almost the same as all of you. Although I was in the Shenjin Army, we all obeyed orders at that time and had no chance to make a choice by ourselves. The reason why I think Lord Ye would go to Guanlong was not my guess, but my wife, Lord Liu's daughter, Lan'er, guessed."
Li Heng looked at the head of Old Liu squatting beside him with some concern, and then continued, "Since he met Lord Ye, Lan'er has been trusted by Lord Ye, and I will not hide it from you. When Lord Ye was only sent by the Imperial City Department, he regarded Lan'er as his confidant. Sometimes he saw more important than me, Li Heng. Even when Lord Ye was on the Jin Dynasty, many things about Lin'an City were my..."
Li Heng, who said this, was even more guilty at this time, because it was also at that time that as Lao Liu and Ye Qing went to the Jin Kingdom, his relationship with Liu Lan'er made rapid progress. So it is conceivable that he was able to finally get together with Liu Lan'er, and then take action, which was completely taking advantage of the loophole that Ye Qing took away Lao Liu'er.
Old Liu snorted coldly, and when he knew that it was not a concern, he kept his head shut and said, "Continue talking."
"Yes, Lord Liu." Li Heng shouted Lord Liu guiltily, and then continued: "A lot of the secret chess in the Imperial City Department at that time, even today's umbrellas, were actually to put it bluntly. The prototype was completely based on Lord Ye's instruction. Lan'er's efforts made it today's scale. Therefore, Lan'er believes that Lord Ye would definitely choose Guanlong Road. The reason is that Guanlong Road is flat and open, and suitable for cavalry to sprint. Although the disadvantage is that it will be difficult to shake the pass, especially the great earthquake and the two passes of the red deer.
For example, the road of Shu is difficult, but it is precisely because everyone knows the degree of suffering that they will inevitably have a certain psychological relaxation, so this may be Lord Ye’s only opportunity. As for why not choose Qin Jiayuan Dao, which has a bumpy road and fewer guards than Guanlong Dao, Liu Lan'er believes that the Xia people will definitely focus most of their attention on Qin Jiayuan Dao, because they will think that Lord Ye must choose Qin Jiayuan Dao. Therefore, Lord Ye will inevitably go to Guanlong Dao, and there is another reason, that
It's Malu Pass."
"Malu Pass?" Yu Yunwen followed Longcheng eastward, and then pointed at the Malu Pass and said: "It is easy to defend and difficult to attack here, and it is even possible that the Jin people will block here. Why has it become the place where Lord Ye wants to pass?"
"The Changning Post on the south side of Malu Pass can reach the Qinjiayuan Road. Lan'er believes that although the road between Changning Post and Malu Pass is difficult to walk, there are many stone steps, the mountains are steep, and some places can only accommodate one horse, it is also the most suitable terrain to lure the defenders of Malu Pass out of the pass and annihilate the enemy. The Hua family army led by Lord Ye only has 5,000 people, and they do not have the advantage in terms of military strength, but they are extremely victorious because they are experienced in many battles. If they can form an encounter with the Xia and Jin people in a terrain suitable for their offensive and defense, rather than a siege, it will at least ensure that they will not be attacked in a short period of time." Li Heng said as he gestured at the various passes of Guanshan.
Li San frowned and said nothing, suddenly knocked Li Heng's hand, followed Guguan, and pointed eastward, saying, "If Lan'er's guess is right, then Ye Qing must pull out Guguan, Dazhenguan, Anrong, Fu Hanping, and Laoyeling five gates one by one, even if they can be successfully captured, how many days will it take? And how can we ensure that under the situation of winning these levels, we will not be known by Qin Jiayuandao and the Xia soldiers of Malu Pass?"
"Lan'er said, let it go." Li Heng smiled sadly and said, "This is Ye Qing's only chance. If he can't pass those five levels, there will be no future. If he can pass... it depends on whether Lord Yu Yunwen will send troops to help."
Everyone's eyes followed Li Heng's words and looked at Yu Yunwen who was bowing his head and pondering.
In the eyes of Li Heng and others, although Jingzhao Mansion Road was also under the jurisdiction of Ye Qing, the governor of the Five North Routes, Ye Qing did not directly participate in the recovery of Jingzhao Mansion Road, nor did he send one army and one soldier to help. Instead, he was recovered by Yu Yunwen and his men.
Although Ye Qing gang Yu Yunwen withstood all the pressure from the court, allowing Yu Yunwen to "go lightly" when he regained Jingzhaofu Road, there is no need to consider the resistance and pressure from the court. Moreover, even after the war, the court focused all the attacks on Ye Qing alone. For him, Yu Yunwen, he was rewarded from afar, and then from afar.
Moreover, just two days ago, when Yu Yunwen had not returned to the court for many years, the court did not take any grudges at all. He suddenly issued an order to show his goodwill again, and moved Yu Yunwen to the Pacification Envoy of Jingzhao Prefecture, and was in charge of the affairs of the Privy Council, and was granted the title of Duke Yong.
Such a series of rewards from the court have made everyone gathered on Jingzhao Mansion Road feel a little uneasy. What is even more uneasy is that in order to show their importance to Yu Yunwen, the court said that it had sent a minister to come to Jingzhao Mansion Road in person and delivered all rewards to Yu Yunwen except his official position.
As for what these rewards contain, no one knows, but everyone knows that the rewards given to Yu Yunwen by the court are definitely not light, and even there is some flavor of transactions.
"If Ye Qing could not pass the five passes, and Lord Yu sent troops to help, he would inevitably be considered a rebellion by the court afterwards. Then all the glory and wealth of Lord Yu would probably be in vain. But if Ye Qing could pass the five passes and Lord Yu did not send troops to help, I think the court's reward to Lord Yu might be more generous." Po Li San stared at the map and said in a deep voice: "Of course, it is possible that no matter whether Ye Qing could pass the five passes, but as long as Ye Qing died in the mountain of Guan, it would be the end of the court's love for Lord Yu at that time, right?"
The meaning of stolen Li San is already very obvious. Yu Yunwen was valued and rewarded by the court not because he regained the achievements of Jingzhao Mansion, but was determined by Ye Qing's life and death. But no matter what, as long as Ye Qing dies, you, Yu Yunwen, will never have a good end. But if Ye Qing can still come back alive, the court may not value you, Yu Yunwen, more.
"In this way, wouldn't it mean that Ye Qing seemed to die in the hands of Xia and Jin people, rather... died in the hands of our own Song people? In this case, how is this different from Marshal Yue back then?" Old Liu sighed with a long sigh.
"Of course it's different. Marshal Yue was the one who was the Song people himself, but this time the court learned to learn intelligence and knew how to kill people with a knife. But then Lord Yu's situation would be even more embarrassing. No matter how Lord Yu explained, I'm afraid everyone in the world would think that he did not rush to help Ye Qing, which caused Ye Qing to be trapped in Guanshan and died of help. The court would also follow the public's opinion, and then first dismissed Lord Yu, then took back the rewards, promotion documents, etc. Lord Yu would... " Zhao Qi'eryin said coldly with a smile.
"The court was a trick of killing two birds with one stone..." Li Heng immediately said: "Just just like Marshal Yue was guilty of false charges and eliminated the great troubles for the Jin people, this time, it was through our own people that not only eliminated the great troubles for the Jin people, but also brought Lord Yu..."
"Borrowing the soldiers of Jin and Xia people, and my Yu Yunwen's power in Jingzhao Prefecture, finally left Lord Ye Chang, who had recovered the five routes of the northern land, in Guanshan, which also made me Yu Yunwen eventually ruined his reputation and became a treacherous minister like Qin Hui. In the end, the court repaired the situation with Jin court and resumed contact with Xia, and no longer launched a war." Yu Yunwen stood up and looked at the few people still squatting on the ground and said, "Yu Yunwen is not sure about the purpose of the court's division and annihilation. As for why he has never decided to send troops, but... we cannot judge the best time. The Xia people took the initiative and cut off all our contacts with them. Lord Ye's actions in Xia Kingdom are now unaware of the actions of Lord Ye. If it is too early, it will only make the Xia people more prepared and attack Lord Ye. It is too late... Even if I, Yu Yunwen, will avenge Lord Ye."
"The most urgent task is that we need to know the exact whereabouts of Lord Ye, where he has arrived, and whether he can overcome the five levels. If we cannot pass the five levels, what should we do? Should we restrain the enemy or attack Xia with all our strength..." Po Li San also stood up and said, looking at the door of the hall.
Yu Yunwen turned around and saw an official standing at the door of the hall, with a nervous face saying, "Sir, the people sent by the court have arrived at the gate of the city."
