    It was the ninth day of the second lunar month in the sixth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty.  ??Above the Yingzhou City Fortress, there is a scene of clearing up after snow.  Guo Rong, wearing a thick fox fur and a pair of long legs, was doing routine inspections on the city fortress.  Several generals, headed by Tang Huai, followed her, and Meng Nuan was also among them.  The generals who came from Diao Mao Capital or the Shenwu Changsheng Army were obviously a little alienated from Meng Nuan, but Meng Nuan stood among the generals with his sword in hand, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, neither deliberately getting close nor pretending to be pretentious.  People have to sigh that in troubled times, there are always people who are polished out. In a remote place like Yingzhou, a former horse thief leader is actually such a figure!  Guo Rong was in Yingzhou, so of course she didn¡¯t just hug pillows and talk in her sleep all day long.  Guo Rong knows very well the importance of Yingzhou's overall layout in Hedong and even the Yunnan states.  As long as this small but strong fortress is defended, the passage southward for the Jurchen army in the Datong Basin will be blocked.  With this as a barrier, the distribution of Yunnei Zhuzhou and Hedong Road will have a huge space for maneuver.  " Guarding here is to protect Xiao Yan's overall plan and not to cause any major changes because of the Jurchen army and horses!  Guo Rong also knew that Xiao Yan would definitely have a decisive battle with the Jurchens.  This Yingzhou fortress will also be an excellent bridgehead and departure base for the northward journey in the future.  No matter from which angle you look at it, you have to keep this place safe!  Guarding here, despite the howling wind every day, the weather is dripping with ice.  The place is remote and there are few people around.  All that can be seen are armored sergeants and homeless horse thieves.  But Guo Rong was not impatient at all. Together with Tang Huai and other generals, they selected the best soldiers, prepared garrison equipment, collected grain and fodder, and repaired the city defenses.  Every day, he patrolled the fort and defended it without hesitation.  This is Xiao Yan¡¯s career, which seems to be much more important than Guo Rong¡¯s own career.  On the city wall, the soldiers on duty bowed and saluted from a distance when they saw Guo Rong.  Staying in Yingzhou City, there is also Longshou Village, which Yingzhou relies on behind.  There are about a thousand soldiers and about the same number of auxiliary troops.  Guo Rong himself brought about 70% of the troops, and the remaining 30% were from Meng Nuan's old troops.  After all these days, the military is still quite divided.  Even if the two divisions are separated and put together to command, these soldiers who are in the same team will have little to say to each other unless they are of the same origin.  This is not a time of war.  The sergeants on duty on the city wall must guard their positions, and any rebels will be killed.  The sergeants from the two families gathered together spontaneously, warming themselves by the fire, talking and laughing in low voices.  They didn't even bother to say hello to each other.  Guo Rong, Tang Huai and others are not immortals, nor are the generals from Diao Mao and Shenwu Changsheng Army.  A short time.  Under no circumstances can two armies with such different origins be brought together.  Zhen Liuchen and others went south in a hurry and entered the Song Dynasty. At that time, they rashly transferred Meng Nuan and his confidants away from their hometown in Yingzhou, which would inevitably lead to changes. However, the urgent task at that time was to stabilize Yingzhou as soon as possible so that they could act freely.  That's why this situation was created in Yingzhou.  It turns out that these military men followed Meng Nuan and acted arrogantly in Yingzhou City, above others.  Now that it's like this, how can they be convinced so quickly?  Such a scene.  Guo Rong, Tang Huai and others were familiar with it every day and didn¡¯t say much.  "These generals selected to go north are all people with long experience in the army.  Even Guo Rong grew up in the military.  To deal with these people who have recruited surrenders and rebels, if you do not break them up first and act rashly, you may cause changes.  And now everyone wants to manage the territory of the Yunnei states, and the powerful people in the Yunnei states are all the powerful men of Wubibao Village. Meng Nuan surrendered to Kaicheng without a fight.  But they used high-pressure measures against him and his old subordinates.  But what do these powerful people think?  I am afraid that the Fu Liao Army will truly become an isolated army and will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the Yunnan states!  ¡°It¡¯s freezing cold anyway.  When it is not time to use large troops, there is still some time.  Let's wait until the situation between Yunnei Prefectures and Hedong Road is settled before making any further calculations.  However, since Guo Rong, everyone has been wary of Meng Nuan and the others. If chaos breaks out, there are many plans to deal with it in advance.  It is a good thing that Meng Nuan and the others are sincere in their service, and there will definitely be good arrangements for Meng Nuan in the future.  If Meng Nuan and his subordinates wanted to die, that would be up to them, and it would save them a lot of trouble in being vigilant.  After patrolling for a while, Guo Rong stood at a section of the city wall in the south, her pretty face flushed by the wind.  She rubbed her cheeks slightly worriedly.  In the past, Guo Rong didn't care what her appearance and skin looked like, but now that she has her little daughter on her mind, she is a little worried.  She raised her fox fur collar, covering most of her pretty face, and asked Tang Huai, who was standing silently behind her: "Brother Tang, when will the news from the south come?" Tang Huai replied sternly: "Every ten days.  "It's only seven days now." Guo Rong felt a little inexplicably irritable, her riding boots creaking against the snow under her feet., I don¡¯t know who I am stepping on.  " Even if the news comes, it's not interesting at all Why is there no movement at all over there? How annoying!" The generals looked at each other in pairs, without saying a word.  Things have been going smoothly in the Yunnei Prefectures and Hedong Road recently, and no major changes have occurred. Because of the so-called invasion of the Song Dynasty, the Fu Liao Army also made great efforts and expanded its strength smoothly.  Wang Gui is already in Wuzhou presiding over the selected Yunnei elites to organize and train the new military.  There is no news about Bianliang. Everyone is fighting to death in the ice and snow for that guy. Who knows whether his position in Bianliang is stable?  Why haven't you sent me a few words yet?  "But this is a private matter between Xiao Xianmo and the Guo family's wife. The Guo family's wife's youngest daughter's thoughts and complaints about Xiao Xianmo are ignored by everyone.  Someone else pointed out to Guo Rong that besides everyone, there was also Meng Nuan who was not embarrassed or embarrassed.  Princess of Shu, don¡¯t let all the important things slip!  At any rate, Guo Rong also knew the importance. She bit her lips bitterly, put on her riding boots made of Haotan sheepskin and stepped on the snow on the city wall even harder, crushing it even harder.  The generals couldn't help but feel a little frightened as they watched.  The Guo family's wife is free and easy and generous, without the pretentiousness of her daughter's family, which is very suitable for these generals.  The Northland lives and dies together, and there is more close affection.  But sometimes, this temper is too strong.  How could Xiao Xianmo bear it Suddenly Guo Rong raised her head suddenly, as if feeling something in her heart, and looked south.  The generals were attracted by his gaze and looked south.  But I didn't see any name.  But Guo Rong still stared southward for a long time.  Then he saw Yiqi appear in his sight.  The horse I came to ride was a tall and strong horse, but at this time it was already emaciated.  The horses' heads were hanging down, and they seemed to be struggling with every step.  The knight on the horse tied himself tightly to the mount and staggered around on the horse with his head lowered.  He was carrying a triangular flag inlaid with flaming teeth indicating the identity of the Fu Liao Army's passing cavalry.  I don¡¯t know what kind of serious military situation it is that makes this knight rush to Yingzhou without sleep!  The horse struggled for a few more steps, whined, its hooves gave way, and lay down in the snow.  The knight on the horse also fell down, leaning to the side, his legs still tied to the stirrups, twisted into a strange appearance.  Guo Rong lifted her cloak.  Turning around and going down to the city, he said loudly: "Bring him in! Something big must happen in the south!" All the generals also knew the power, and followed Guo Rong down the city with a sullen face.  Meng Nuan also stood sideways among the generals, his face as dark as water, and no one could tell what he was thinking in his heart.  In an instant, the southern city gate of Yingzhou opened.  Several riders rolled down the mountain road like the wind, and untied the passing rider and sent him into Yingzhou City.  Guo Rong walked around and waited in the city gate, her fingers turning white.  "Xiao, you don't have anything to do in Bianliang.  The great storms and waves of the Yan land are coming. Can those Song people who only know how to play tricks on you be able to deal with you?  You promised me!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~ In the high mountains not far from Yingzhou City, nearly a thousand Jurchen troops and horses are hiding in a valley.  Yingzhou is originally stuck on the southern edge of the Datong Basin, surrounded by steep and rolling mountains.  After the war.  Even more so in winter.  There are no traces of birds in thousands of mountains, and there are no traces of human beings on every footpath.  Nearly a thousand Jurchen soldiers and horses, hiding day and night, finally sneaked into Yingzhou without showing any trace.  With this kind of weather and this kind of terrain, we have to climb over dangerous places and travel all the way.  These Jurchen soldiers and horses have suffered enough.  When we set out, we were equipped with three horses, but now one person and two riders are not enough.  And no one can suppress the auxiliary troops and follow them.  One should march to take care of the mount.  All the Jurchen soldiers and horses have to do it themselves.  But now the Jurchens¡¯ military power is at its peak.  Such a difficult march.  Such a harsh environment.  These nearly a thousand Jurchen troops and horses were at ease.  Set up camp in this valley, send out sentries, and raise horses.  They may not even eat hot food, but only eat dry food and cold water to satisfy their hunger and quench their thirst.  At night, when he was not on duty, he would wrap himself up in a few skins and fall asleep.  For hundreds of years, people have fished and hunted in the white mountains and black waters, and chased animal tracks in the ice and snow.  The toughness and fierceness he has honed has not diminished at this moment.  After the destruction of the Liao Dynasty, the fine armor and soldiers obtained from this country of iron and steel made the beast's fangs even sharper.  ??In the cold winter snow, the lonely army goes deep and fights thousands of miles.  In this era, any army would probably have collapsed.  But these Jurchen war horses, when facing the battle, can still plunge into the battle with unparalleled ferocity!  Yin Shu can sit on a big rock, with a dozen Jurchen generals standing beside him who are either fiercely defending or trying to defeat him.  Yin Shu can hold a sword and draw the surrounding mountains and rivers on the snow.  It was all discovered by him personally when he led the personal guards last time. ?????????????????Crossing the dangerous terrain, we traveled all the way to the vicinity of Yingzhou.  Yin Shu did not get any preferential treatment in the army. He also ate dried meat, chewed ice and snow, dozed on horseback at night, and led the horse through dangerous places.  When sleeping, there is no more skin than others.  Yin Shuke has lost a lot of weight, and the beard on his face is long and messy. The deep scar across the bridge of his nose looks even more ferocious.  Every time he said a word, the scar was affected, and the bridge of his nose tilted in the direction of immobility.  If you put it in Bianliang, those talented ladies would faint just by looking at it.  "Na Hai, take your Pu Liyan and dried meat and watch here. Don't light a fire! If Yingzhou moves, you can see it. Don't rush to fight, just endure it like Haidongqing.  Wait for them and wait for the group to come, do you understand? " "The sentry is further away, and the men will bite the bullet again. If they encounter anyone, kill them all and let the leader go.  I cut off my head and sent it to someone here. Wasn't it just a matter of sleeping in the snow for a few days? Just a few years ago, when we were hunting bears for the Emperor of the Birds, why didn't we stay in the forest?  A month or two? " "Zong Han led our troops on the west route to chase Yelu Yanxi, and they were all circling in remote places, but the troops on the east route filled the tents with valuables and children.  . After wiping out the Shuoyingwu and Wei states, the Southern Dynasty will be in front of us! What will those Yahai on the east road do?" Silver skills can be used to issue orders or incite.  All the Jurchen generals responded loudly.  These are Jurchen generals who are at their peak in terms of energy, physical strength, battle experience, fighting ability, and even innate ferocity.  Everyone looked eager to give it a try, and they did not care at all that the march along the way would be difficult and that they would go deep alone against the superior enemy.  It seems that as long as Yin Shuke gives an order, they can hit the Yingzhou city wall with knives in their mouths!  What kind of enemy is worthy of being crushed under their hooves!  There was a sudden noise outside, Yin Shuke and the general turned their heads to look, and saw the sentinel sent out galloping towards a knight covered in snow and mud.  After running close to the horse.  The knight turned over and dismounted, his feet were already stiff, and he fell down into the snow with a cry of winter.  Yin Shuke laughed: "Aliyin, is there no one under Lou Shi? Why did I send you here? As a Jurchen man, your legs and feet will become stiff after riding a horse for a few days. Have you used too many of those women on the grassland?"  ¡± The surrounding generals.  It was all a laugh.  The Jurchen soldier who can be called Ali'in by silver skills jumped up as soon as he turned over and pulled out the sword from his waist: "Who is laughing? I rode for four days without closing my eyes. Who will challenge me?  Cut his throat!" After Zong Han left Datong, although the general power was handed over to Yin Shuke, there was another general in the West Route Army, none other than Wanyan Loushi.  Before winter, Wanyanlou led his troops deep into the west.  Not only did they subdue the barbarians on the grasslands, they also made them pay tribute to thousands of horses, mules, cattle and sheep.  He even led troops to approach the Xixia Heishan Weifu Army, killing and plundering fiercely and shocking them.  As early as before winter, Xixia expressed its willingness to make Jurchen its suzerain leader to Zong Han.  Wanyan Loushi then led the army back.  After traveling thousands of miles, there was no rich loot, nothing more than horse, mule and animal skins.  This time, Yin Shu could make a decisive move and go south, sweeping across the Yunnan states and defeating the rising Fu Liao army.  Captured the princess of Shu from Liao Dynasty.  We even had a glimpse of Da Songhe East Road.  Wanyan Loushi's approval was immediately obtained.  With the exception of Zong Han, each Jurchen army has their own confidant, Meng An.  The upper and lower classes are not very clear. Silver Technique is the most trusted person and can be pulled out at any time, that is, there are only a few fierce soldiers and more than a thousand regular troops in front of them.  It is precisely because of the support of Wanyan Lou that Yin Shuke can mobilize thousands of Jurchen troops.  And Yin Keshu can rest assured that Wanyan Loushi will sweep across Shuozhou and other places, and he will lead a force to seize the most important Yingzhou and open the most important passage south to Datong Prefecture in Xijing.  Yin Shuke has a good relationship with Wanyan Loushi. Back then, Wanyan Aguda fought with Liao general Yelu Yiliduo in Daru City. Yelu Yinliduo had more than 30,000 Pishi troops under his command, and a large number of tribal troops as their wings.  Yin Shu can stand side by side with Wan Yan and Lou Shi, leading only dozens of cavalry to kill nine times among thousands of troops!  Destroy the front and break the formation, kill the general and capture the flag.  Yelu Yiliduo's army actually collapsed in front of such a small army as Yin Shuke and Wanyan Loushi!  Wanyan Aguda took advantage of this victory to successfully conquer Huanglong Mansion, and Baima Li easily wiped out the remnants of Yelu Yili Duo, who had already been defeated by Yin Shuke and Wanyan Loushi.  Although the relationship between the two is good, Zong Han obviously values ????silver skills more now.  Naturally, their subordinates are also somewhat competitive.  Yin Shuke raised his hand to silence his trusted general, and asked Aliyin: "What did Lou Shi say?" There is still little writing in the Jurchen army, and military exchanges are mostly oral.  Aliyin glanced at the generals behind Yin Shuke and said blankly: "Lou Shi is already sweeping Shuozhou. He said that within seven days, we will definitely??Xia Shuozhou.  Within ten days, we will go deep into Wuzhou, and within twenty days, we will reach the border of Southern Dynasty!  Lou Shi asked Yin Shuke, when can he capture Yingzhou and capture the Liao princess?  "The general behind Yin Shuke suddenly cursed loudly. Ali Yin also looked at them proudly, without any fear. Yin Shu Ke pondered for a while, then waved his hand and ordered: "Ali Yin, eat some dried meat and take a rest.  Then he told Lou Shi that he didn't need to worry about the Yingzhou matter, and just let him fight in the south.  When the time comes, I will take the Liao princess to join him, and then I will show Mr. Lou a new woman!  " Aliyin snorted, saluted Yin Shuke, turned around and got on his horse: "I have my own dry food, so I don't need to rest!  Yin Shu Ke, Lou Shi is waiting for you in the south.  Shuozhou doesn't get much food and grass, and it's hard to find anywhere else If Yingzhou can't be conquered, and it can't connect with Datong Prefecture in Xijing, we don't want to have to walk back over the mountains and ridges!  " Amidst the shouts and curses of Yin Shuke's generals, Ali Yin rode away. Several knights who came with him picked him up, picked up the snow dust, and flew away. " There was a general beside Yin Shuke.  He frowned and said, "Will Yingzhou's army and horses come out?  Is that barbarian named Meng useful?  Are you just waiting here?  Yin Shuke sneered: "Wait for two more days, and the news from the south should reach Yingzhou."  But there is no need to hope that the Liao princess can be lured out If they don't come out, we will force her to go up.  Seeing the power of the Jurchen army, and seeing what use the barbarian surnamed Meng can put to Even the barbarian surnamed Meng is of no use. Even if he bites it with his teeth, he will chew down the Yingzhou City Fortress!  " After some categorical words, Yin Keshu looked around at the generals with a majestic look in his eyes: "Why, can't you stand still in this ice and snow?  " "No, I can do silver skills!"  " "Are you scared to death when you see that the fortress of Yingzhou is strong?  "    "no!  Silver skills are great!  " "Do you think there are too many items in the account, but Yahai and Yahaizhen are missing?  "(Jurchen language, meaning male slave and female slave) "No!  Silver skills are great!  Yin Shuke laughed ferociously: "Then follow me to capture Yingzhou, and then invade the Southern Dynasty!"  The world is big, but no one can stop the Jurchen warriors!  "The generals responded with a bang, and dispersed to act according to Yin Shuke's previous orders. Yin Shuke sat down on the big rock again. He frowned and never relaxed. "It's not that you are worried about the war in Yingzhou. As a veteran general,  Yin Shu knew that all plans before the war were likely to change. As a general, he would find opportunities to take advantage of the ever-changing battle situation. He would never hesitate to devote all his strength.  He was worried that he would not be able to defeat Yingzhou, and he did not doubt the combat effectiveness of his subordinate Erlang. How much trouble could he make if he was just a remnant of the Liao people? He was just thinking about Zong Han. At this time, he finally found out.  , the generation of heroes who led the Jurchen tribe to rise and destroyed the Liao Kingdom, Wanyan Aguda has passed away. Zong Han hurried back to Beijing, offering prisoners in name only, but in fact, he was fighting for power.  Zong Han was with the group that advocated an early attack on Song Dynasty. Can Zong Han gain enough status during this trip to Beijing? And he led his army out in winter to attack Yun Nei.  A glimpse of the Southern Dynasty. Can it still get enough support? In the past, Yin Shu never worried about how many troops he had, and how many troops the Southern Dynasty could put together were able to suppress the Southern Dynasty.  Even the Liao Dynasty could defeat the elite Northern Expedition troops of the Southern Dynasty. But since the battle with that little bird Xiao Xuanzan, Yin Shu could always feel the pain of the scar on the bridge of his nose. With this person around, the Southern Dynasty could not take it lightly.  Who knows how many such figures there are in the Southern Dynasty? Only by gathering all the power of the Jurchen can we defeat the Southern Dynasty, and this small tribe of Jurchen will have a legacy that can be passed down to all generations! Zong Han, it¡¯s time for you to return to Xijing!  ps: It's the last few days, it's time to sell the monthly tickets you saved Motivation, motivation.
