On a mound twenty miles away from Jinyang Pass, Yun Chen and Yao Qingzhu looked up into the distance with solemn expressions.

In the distance is the place where the Jin people are heavily stationed.

"Zhu'er, I'm leaving." Yun Chen took Yao Qingzhu into his arms and took a deep breath of the scent of her hair.

"Go, no matter what happens, I will wait for you at home!" Yao Qingzhu did not shed tears this time, because she knew that her husband was going to do something upright and important.

"If I can't come back, you will..." Yun Chen pursed his lips.

"Shut up!" Yao Qingzhu blocked her husband's mouth: "There must be no problem!"

Yun Chen laughed, nodded, and rode away.

When there is little coldness, a strong man goes out.

On this bitingly cold winter day, Yun Chen entered Jinyang Pass with one man and one horse under the close supervision of Jin soldiers.

Inside the General's Mansion at Jinyang Pass

Wanyan Aguda was holding several military newspapers and looking at them. Some of them were news about the Northern Liang Army outside the Pass, and some were about the battle situation far away on Pinghan Road. Although Wanyan Aguda's expression was very calm, some clues could still be seen from his brows.

sad.

Sitting beside Wanyan Agu was naturally his son Wanyan Bi. This arrogant and talented young man was also dull and silent.

It has been a month or two since the army confronted Beiliang at Jinyang Pass. The Beiliang army has not laid siege to the city, nor has it launched a large-scale attack, but Wanyan Bi is still very unhappy in his heart.

This was the first time he had encountered a situation like this, where he was cowered in the city and did not dare to fight. He originally expected to gain military glory through this battle and succeed his father as marshal. Now it seems that everything has turned into nothing.

Bubble.

"Alas." Wanyanbi became more and more sad as he thought about it, and sighed unconsciously.

"Stop being so depressed, Bi'er, you have to know that on the battlefield, you have to assess the situation." Wanyan Agu said without raising his head: "Right now, my main focus, Daikin, should be on the direction of Pinghan Road, waiting for His Majesty to capture Pinghan.

He said, 300,000 troops are marching westward, but we still don't pay attention to this mere Beiliang, so we are not in a hurry at this moment."

"My child, I remember." Wanyanbi nodded silently.

"There hasn't been any new news from the Beiliang Army in the past few days, right?" Wanyan Agu interrupted the topic.

Wanyanbi said softly: "Everything is normal. The walls of Jinyangguan City are strong and the supplies are sufficient. Even if the Beiliang Army forcibly attacks the city, it will not gain much advantage. What's more, we now have a total of 80,000 troops. The Beiliang Army attacks

Not coming in."

Since the defeat in the Qilian Mountains, Wanyan Aguda retreated to Jinyang Pass with his remaining 40,000 people. He immediately mobilized all the garrison troops in Yunzhou and continued to send people to take in the soldiers who retreated from the Qilian Mountains. Finally, Wanyan Aguda retreated to Jinyang Pass.

Aguda gathered a total of 80,000 soldiers in Jinyang Pass.

These 80,000 people were all the Jin people's troops in Liaodong. Yunzhou behind Jinyang Pass was already empty. If the Beiliang Army really wanted to capture Yunzhou, it would be easy.

However, both sides know that it is meaningless for Beiliang to capture Yunzhou now. It is just a waste of troops and lengthening the supply line. The final showdown between the two sides will still be under Jinyangguan City.

"Well, you should remember to visit the tower more often and cheer up the soldiers." Wanyan Aguda said softly.

"promise!"

While the father and son were talking, a sturdy military general walked in.

"The last general, Heihangu, paid homage to the prince and met General Wanyan." The middle-aged general shouted in a deep voice.

This Heihangu is the Beijin garrison at Jinyang Pass. Because Jinyang Pass has a relatively important terrain and is located at the junction of Yanzhou and Yunzhou, the status of Heihangu is almost equal to that of Pucharong, the chief general of Yanzhou.

Guaranteed to be comparable.

And there has been no trouble in Jinyang Pass for so many years, so Heihangu is also a quite capable general.

"General Heihangu is here, what, what's the matter?" Wanyan Aguda slowly put down the military report in his hand.

Heihangu said bluntly: "Your Majesty, a Northern Liang general has come to surrender. I want your Majesty to see him."

"What?" Wanyanbi exclaimed with astonishment on his face: "General Beiliang surrendered? General Heihangu is probably joking."

The calm Wanyan Aguda also frowned. The Liaodong war had been going on for almost a year, and they had never encountered a surrendered Beiliang army, not even one alive.

Now, wouldn't it be strange if a Beiliang general suddenly came to surrender?

Heihangu whispered: "Strictly speaking, he is not a general of Beiliang. He was just forcibly included in the Beiliang army."

Wanyan Aguda's curiosity became more and more serious, and he said softly: "Please tell me carefully what the situation is."

Heihangu then began to talk about Yun Chen's surrender:

"The man who surrendered is named Yun Chen. He turned out to be the leader of a group of horse bandits near Jinyang Pass. He has about a thousand people under his command. I have fought with him many times over the years, and we have hurt each other. According to him

According to his theory, after the Beiliang Army arrived near Jinyang Pass, they killed many of his brothers and incorporated all his men into the Beiliang Army, giving him the position of a nominal general, so he felt resentful.

, so he wanted to come and seek refuge with us."

"Is there such a thing?" A suspicious expression appeared on Wanyanbi's face: "Isn't it a fraud to surrender at this time?"

Wanyanbi's first reaction was that something was going on! Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Beijin was at a disadvantage now, not to mention that Yun Chen was a native of Liaodong, so how could he surrender at this time?

Heihangu lowered his head and said: "I can't make up my mind either, so I came here to ask the prince to make a decision, but he said that he has important information about the Beiliang Army, which can be used as a basis for entry."

Wanyan Agudaxu narrowed his eyes, leaned on the back of his chair, and said softly: "General, have you ever dealt with him? What kind of person is he?"

Heihangu thought for a while and said: "The general has just met him today, but his horse bandits have caused us a lot of trouble before. They are the kind of thugs who want money but not their lives.

They are familiar with the terrain, and they are elusive and difficult to deal with. In order to stabilize the security of Jinyang Pass, I tried to recruit him to surrender many times, but they were all rejected."

"So that's it, he is also a character." Wanyanbi said with a chuckle.

"Did you ask him what information he wanted to provide us?" Wanyan Agu opened his mouth and asked.

"I asked, but he insisted on meeting the prince before he would tell me." Heihangu replied.

Wanyan Aguda tapped her fingers lightly on her hand, frowning and saying nothing.

"My lord, do you see me?" Heihangu asked cautiously, "Or should I just kill him with a knife?"

A fierce look flashed across the face of the Jinyang Pass guard.

"See you!" Wanyan Aguda finally nodded: "Let's see what tricks he has up his sleeve. He is in the city now? Bring him here."

"No!" Heihangu shouted and retreated.

Wanyan Bi said with some worry: "Father, I think something is not quite right."
