    In the wilderness, Tian Qiong squatted on the snow, staring at the snow line in the distance opposite.  At the end of the snow line, there are vast mountains covered with white snow, which is the road leading to Yingzhou.  It is early in the morning and the weather is cold.  Wanyan Loushi had more than 3,000 Jurchen soldiers, thousands of auxiliary soldiers, and nearly 10,000 war horses and pack horses.  Suddenly appeared in the west of the Yunnei states, and after sweeping through Shuozhou, the movement seemed very strange.  ?According to common sense, such thousands of troops and horses together with so many livestock.  Coming over the mountains is already extremely difficult.  How much luggage can be carried, unless all the Jurchen Tatars wear their underwear outside.  For such a large army and horses, the number of people eating horse chews every day is a huge number. No matter how brave the Jurchens are, they must be full before they can show their full potential.  Thousands of people deployed their troops deep into the dangerous area, and the passage behind them was cut off by Yingzhou.  If they could not plunder enough food, grass and luggage, they would be starved to death.  Although Lou Shi and the others took advantage of surprise, they swept through the Wubi Fort near Shuozhou and even captured several county towns.  However, the Yunnei states have suffered considerable damage from war and fire in recent years, leaving them sparsely populated, desolate and dilapidated.  And Guo Rong and the others went deep into the clouds, searched again, and transported a considerable number of people.  Even a few cities are almost abandoned.  Even if they seize some reserves, it will not be enough to support the Jurchen army through this winter of ice and snow, let alone fight a decisive battle with Yunnei's troops.  The normal action they should take is to continue to lead troops eastward.  Sweeping through Yunnei as much as possible and seizing more reserves will have the capital to establish a foothold in the states in Yunnei. In the future, whether it is advancing or retreating, it will be very comfortable.  ??In one sentence, the Jurchen army is trying to fight quickly, which is not conducive to lasting war.  But the movements of this Jurchen army horse that penetrated deeply into the clouds were completely different.  After sweeping Shuozhou.  He also never established a position in Shuozhou.  Instead, the army was moving northward, assuming a posture of isolating the Yunnei states from Yingzhou.  It seems that he is going to fight Yingzhou.  According to common sense, taking Yingzhou and opening up the backup channel is also a normal method of using troops.  But right now, it¡¯s hard to figure out.  The rest of the Yunnei states are in dilapidated condition, with no strong city to rely on.  The only one that can be used is Yingzhou City Fortress.  The Jurchens are already famous all over the world for their field battles, but their siege skills are not that good.  Turn around and go to Yingzhou.  With little savings and no support, they were locked in a stalemate in the ice and snow for a little longer. No matter how strong the Jurchen Army was before, it would become a weak force that could not be attacked.  Unless something happens in Yingzhou!  Wang Gui, who was in charge of military affairs in Wuzhou, also thought of this.  Yingzhou is of course the key to Yunnei's layout.  Not only is it stuck at a critical point on the south access road to Datong Prefecture in Xijing.  Moreover, Guo Rong is still in charge of Yingzhou!  If there was something wrong with Guo Rong, how would Wang Gui explain it to Xiao Yan?  Although he had no idea why the Jurchen army and horses were so confident in heading north towards Yingzhou, Wang Gui immediately adjusted his deployment after discovering such movements of the Jurchen army.  Originally, the whole army was divided into various places, the walls were fortified and the fields were cleared, and all the grain and grass materials that could be collected were concentrated in the strongest dock wall fortress, preparing to rely on the stubborn defense to contain the Jurchen army and horses.  Waiting for the main force of Hedong Shenwu's ever-victorious army to come for reinforcements.  Now it is necessary to concentrate the troops and move northward, still maintaining contact with the Jurchen army, and at the same time trying to contact the direction of Yingzhou.  ??Inside the ice and snow.  The troops and horses under his command have been scattered, and it is not easy to gather them all at once.  Moreover, a large proportion of Wang Gui's troops and horses were newly recruited from the Yunnan states.  These military horses allowed them to defend their hometown with the support of Wubi Fortress without any problem, and they were quite useful.  But they have to be transferred out to fight in the field.  That's another story.  Several days after the military order was passed down, we still didn't collect much.  Going north is even further away.  Wang Gui was so anxious that dozens of hairs turned white.  If you can¡¯t count on the newly recruited army, you can only count on the old foundation brought from the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army.  Wang Gui organized as many elites as possible and headed north to find out the movements of the Jurchen army. At the same time, he could go straight to Yingzhou and establish contact with Guo Rong and the others.  As long as Yingzhou is still there, it will not collapse that day!  If anything happens in Yingzhou, we must ensure that Guo Rong can escape safely no matter what!  Tian Qiong was born in a mink hat, and he fought with Xiao Yan several times, so he was truly his direct descendant.  Naturally, he was mobilized from Wang Gui's side and led a group of elite light cavalry, each with two horses, carrying enough luggage, and prepared to forcefully enter Yingzhou.  If Yingzhou is fine, find out the Jurchen military strength and report back.  If Yingzhou is in danger, these dozens of cavalry can be considered a fighting force!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~ The place where Tian Qiong is isOn a small hill.  A sheltered place at the bottom of the hill behind him was where the twenty or thirty elite light cavalry under his command temporarily camped for the night.  Dozens of horses were tied to dead trees, and their bodies were covered with dead grass collected through hard work.  Tie a horse to a dead tree and pull a rope out, with a whole piece of cowhide facing up, and it becomes a small single-person tent in the shape of a slope.  Of course, comfort is out of the question, but fortunately, I can get some protection from the wind and cold, and I am with my mounts, so I can know their movements at any time. If I'm cold or hungry, I can take care of them as soon as I stand up.  If you encounter an enemy, mount your horse and cut off the rope to fight.  There was a light snowfall last night, and there was a lot of white accumulation on the tent.  Dozens of horses chewed dry grass and snorted lowly from time to time.  Some sergeants had already stood up, stretched their frozen muscles, and began to open the bags to feed the horses.  He took off the felt he had put on the horse for the night, and prepared to lead it for a walk to revive the horse's vitality and muscles.  The smoldering bonfire last night was ignited again, and several knights were boiling water and making tea after returning from walking their horses.  The smoke rises faintly and mixes with the snow dust blown by the cold morning wind. If you are a little farther away, you can't distinguish it.  Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps stepping on the snow behind Tian Qiong. When he looked back, he saw a subordinate carrying a can of hot tea and saying hello from a distance: "Du Tou, when did you get up? Please come early."  If you blow it, your intestines will freeze into a ball. Just drink a hot bowl to warm yourself up." Tian Qiong stood up with a sigh, and the snow powder on his shoulders began to fall.  When the subordinate saw it, he suddenly said: "My head, have you not slept all night? Even if we can endure the hardships by fighting, we can't go through it like this, and we still have to give up our lives?" Tian Qiong shook his head: "That's right.  I also slept for an hour. At night, the sentinels went out to look out for the way. I couldn't let go, so I got up and waited for them to come back I am a thick body, how can I be so valuable? If I just close my eyes for a little while, can it be done?  Are you going to die?" As he said that, he took the pot of hot tea without using a bowl.  He scooped out a large spoonful with a wooden spoon and poured it into his mouth.  The hot tea was mixed with salt and cheese, mixed with something unknown, and cooked into a sticky mass. After drinking it, I felt my whole body warm up, and I couldn't help but sigh in comfort.  Seeing him like this, his subordinates couldn't help but speak again: "That boy Shisan. He is smart with his hands and feet, and is skilled in bow and horse. Even in our army, people like him don't have much ability. No matter what he encounters, Shisan  The three will definitely turn bad luck into good luck, why do you need to worry about him, Dutou?" Tian Qiong smiled but said nothing.  Putting down the wooden spoon and wiping his mouth, he shook his head and said: "The taste is always wrong. Along the way north, I didn't see many Jurchen Tatars. It seems that they all rushed north. With a false shot in Shuozhou, our army was defeated  Turn away. Immediately turn to the north. The Jurchen Tatar soldiers are really useful!" His subordinates curled their lips and shook their heads: "Is it useful for them? I heard from the brothers who came down from the north that the Yingzhou city is very strong.  It's no worse than the Three Passes. There are thousands of people stationed there and they can't defeat them. How long can the Jurchen Tatars survive there even if they fight against the cold?  Clean them up Thirteen is even more safe in Yingzhou City. If Dutou still can't let go, if he goes to Yingzhou to see it with his own eyes, he will know that I am not lying  Boss, let me say one more thing. Since I care so much about Thirteen, this time, I will accept him as my son. Life and death will not be the same if we marry a daughter-in-law and have a son.  , with Thirteen here, there is always someone holding a basin and holding flags, right?" Tian Qiong immediately slapped him: "You have such a mouth, you have to be willing to let you be a prisoner when the time comes.  Give me a hug and a flag! You bastard, it¡¯s so hard to hear a good word from a dog like you!¡± While laughing and scolding, Tian Qiong kept his worries deep in his heart.  He is also an old soldier, his status is slightly higher, and he knows more inside information.  The brothers who came down from the north brought news. In addition to the impregnable fortress of Yingzhou, they also said that Yingzhou had hundreds of newly annexed troops and hundreds of surrendered troops. Only 30% of them were direct descendants of their old family!  Normally speaking, for a strong city like Yingzhou, the time bought by thousands of Jurchen troops and horses by feinting in Shuozhou is not enough to capture such a strong city.  But what if something happens in the city?  You must know that when General Wang Gui sent his family north to contact Yingzhou, after explaining the military orders in person, he repeatedly said that nothing should happen to Yingzhou City!  With just a few dozen riders, can we get to Yingzhou in time?  Even if we get to Yingzhou, how useful will this little power be?  When will the Hedong army be able to move north?  Xiao Xianmo has now become the King of Yan in the Song Dynasty, with all the glory and wealth, and the power of Bianliang.  Have you forgotten those rough guys like us who fought with him?  These words can only be hidden in the bottom of my heart and can no longer be spoken out. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?When he was thinking wildly, he saw his subordinate suddenly jumped up and pointed to the north: "He's back, the thief is back! Isn't it Liang Hou who is leading the way? That guy is on horseback, his waist is always slumped,  With its sharp mouth and cheeks, it looks like a monkey!" Tian Qiong turned his head fiercely and saw several black shadows jumping between the snow lines in the distance. His brothers were all used to seeing them.  From a distance, you can tell that they are the knights who were sent out to scout at night.  Immediately, Tian Qiong went down the hill and climbed onto a horse. He pressed his legs together and urged the horse to fly up to meet him.  Soon the two sides met.  The faces of several knights who went out to scout at night were blue and white from the cold, and they were so tired that they could not straighten their waists on horseback.  The sergeant in front of him, who had the shape of a three-quarter monkey and was nicknamed Lianghou, was unable to say hello to Tian Qiong for a long time with his trembling and frozen mouth.  Tian Qiong handed over a bag of strong wine. Liang Hou shook his hands and drank a long gulp before he felt better. He said hello: "Tou Tou, we are back!" Tian Qiong turned around with them and asked, "How is it?" Liang Hou  The monkey wanted to laugh, but his face was frozen and he couldn't laugh: "I saw a Jurchen Tatar night patrol on the passage, but the thieves blocked the north passage to death! But with these birds, the Tatars can't catch them.  We We have become quite familiar with the roads in Yunnei in the past few months. When we sneak across them at night, we, dozens of people, can't even catch a feather from the Jurchen Tatars!" Tian Qiong smiled!  Patting him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay! Go back and sleep for half a day. As soon as the sun sets, we will leave." Liang Hou hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but speak again: "Touhou, the Jurchen Tatars are showing this  Do you really want to capture Yingzhou? Otherwise, according to the Jurchen Tatars' abilities, they shouldn't be desperate for death These thousands of Jurchen Tatars, I don't want to lose my prestige.  If there is no help, we will not be able to eat it. We have to count on the Hedong army! When will the Hedong army come up? " Tian Qiong was silent for a moment, then laughed and said: "I am sending a Dutou, and my official status is also the eighth grade.  What kind of bird officer is he? How can he know about the military affairs? Just rush into Yingzhou and find out the situation there. There is nothing wrong with it. According to what the old man Xianmo said when I was around him, there is nothing wrong with him.  Are your balls aching from being idle?" Liang Hou fell silent and dozed off little by little on the horse.  Tian Qiong couldn't help but think about it.  Hedong army, the vanguard should have arrived at this time, right?  Who should be the leading general?  According to Yue Wudi's character of taking the lead, if he can't escape, then it's just General Yue who is the leader?  If he leads the army, the morale of the entire Yunnei will be greatly boosted!  If Xiao Xianmo, who should be called King Yan now, can come in person again.  The whole army would pounce on the overwhelming Tatars with red eyes!  Thinking of this, Tian Qiong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.  "I hope it's still in time and nothing unexpected happens in Yingzhou."  If Yingzhou is not protected, then this war will be in big trouble!  Thirteen, there¡¯s nothing wrong with you kid.  I also hope that you will hold a basin and hold flags for me in the future!  (To be continued)
