"Husband, what's wrong? Are you having a nightmare?" Gao Muqing moved to sit on the pine needles next to Lin Jue and asked softly and with concern.
Lin Jue nodded in panic and said hoarsely: "Yes, what a terrible dream."
Gao Muqing smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand to hold Lin Jue's head in his arms, and said softly: "Husband, don't worry, it's just a dream."
Lin Jue closed his eyes and leaned weakly in Gao Muqing's soft embrace, letting out a long sigh. Gao Muqing and Bai Bing looked at each other with a wry smile, thinking in their hearts: Who would have thought that a person like my husband could be so weak?
At that time, the husband in front of others was always upright, full of intelligence, and confident. I am afraid that only the people around him could see his weak and decadent appearance at this moment. But it is also because of this that the husband is more like a person of flesh and blood, and more...
Make people like and pity you.
Lin Jue's weakness did not last long. Soon he sat up straight, looked out at the mottled scenery of the setting sun penetrating the woods and said, "What time is it? How long have I been asleep?"
"It's just past midnight, and my husband has only slept for half an hour." Bai Bing handed over the kettle and said.
Lin Jue took a few sips, hung the kettle on his waist, stood up and said, "Has Sun Dayong been here? Is there any news about the Jurchens down the mountain?"
Gao Muqing shook his head and said: "No, I guess there is no news. I'm afraid the Jurchens are also in shock. They shouldn't just wander around in the mountains."
Just as Lin Jue was about to speak, he suddenly heard a sound in the forest, and someone was running towards him. Bai Bing and Gao Muqing grabbed the weapons at their waists at the same time, but saw the slanting sunlight beam dimming in the forest, and a tall figure appeared from the side of the path.
It was Sun Dayong who appeared on the scene. The two women released their hands holding the weapons.
"Sir, are you awake?" Sun Dayong shouted in a low voice, his face covered with hot sweat.
Lin Jue walked out of the shack and said, "Brother Sun, what's wrong?"
Sun Dayong hurriedly raised his hands and said: "I have seen you, sir. There is movement among the Jurchens. There are hundreds of Jurchens crawling along the hillside towards where we are. Their movements are very fast. I am afraid they will arrive in half an hour. I don't know.
What is your intention? I humbly ask you to tell me."
Lin Jue was stunned, frowned and pondered. Gao Muqing rushed out of the shack and frowned: "How can the Jurchens climb up the mountain? The flood has not entered the valley, so why are they climbing up the mountain? Could it be that they have really discovered our traces? Come and find us.
Our trouble? We have to be prepared."
Sun Dayong nodded and said: "I also feel strange, but now that we are here, there is no need to be afraid. I have already asked the brothers to prepare for the enemy. Once they approach the slope below the forest, I will kill them all."
Gao Muqing nodded and was about to speak when Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "Don't do this. Brothers, please retreat deep into the forest immediately and don't provoke them. I don't think they are here to cause trouble for us, and they don't know about us at all."
it's here."
"Why do you see them? Then what are they doing here? They came specifically in our direction." Sun Dayong asked with a frown.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "If they find us, do you think they will only send a few hundred people here? I think they come here because of the terrain. Like us, they value this and the height of the North Peak of Longshan. They also
I want to see what the situation is like outside. Mu Qing is right about one thing. These Jurchens are very afraid now. Although they escaped the flood, they are trapped here and Longshan.
I don't know what to do. Why should we disturb them? Just leave this place to them."
Everyone was doubtful. Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "Immediately give the order to retreat to the woods on the north side. There is no need to tangle with them."
Sun Dayong left after receiving the order, and more than a hundred Luoyan Army guards quickly gathered and quietly retreated to the northern hillside. Bai Bing was ordered to go to the edge of the forest to monitor the movements of the Jurchens. Soon after, she rushed back to report to Lin Jue, but the Jurchens did not even see the forest.
Went in and headed directly towards the cliff. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently Master Lin's guess was correct.
…
Lin Jue's judgment was basically correct. Wanyan Aguda got the information in time and led his troops to escape into Helong Mountain. At the mountain pass, he saw the torrent rolling in and rushing past the mountainside, and he felt in his heart
I was both frightened and grateful.
When Wanyan Agu thought about this, he couldn't help but admire Yelu Zongyuan's determination and cruelty. He would rather break the embankment and risk the lives of his people than stop himself there. It's really shocking. End
Yan Agu did not think there was anything wrong with what Yelu Zongyuan did, but he admired Yelu Zongyuan very much. As the saying goes, those who do great things do not stick to trivial matters. Although Yelu Zongyuan's behavior seems inappropriate, if he succeeds,
, then his army of hundreds of thousands will be buried in the flood, then he will have won the victory. His army of hundreds of thousands is the entire Jurchen tribe. If the entire army is annihilated here, he will no longer have the power to fight.
Now you can sit back and relax.
While admiring him, Wanyan Aguda wanted to laugh again. Because he had learned the information in advance, he had escaped this catastrophe. Otherwise, he and his hundreds of thousands of brothers would have been corpses in the quagmire, as the vultures said.
It was rotten flesh. However, after laughing, I felt that I couldn't laugh anymore, because although I had escaped, hundreds of thousands of troops were now trapped in Helong Mountain, which was probably not a good thing.
Originally, the army's supplies only lasted for three days. In this situation, there is fear of flooding outside, and I don't know when it will subside. More than 100,000 people are completely trapped in Helong Mountain. What should we do?
I have to find a way out, otherwise everyone will starve to death here? Although the Jurchens are capable of catching prey in the mountains, there are hundreds of thousands of people here, and this is not a big mountain like Longshan. I'm afraid
There aren't any large beasts. Even if all the hares and pheasants in the mountains are eaten, it won't be enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.
In view of this, Wanyan Aguda decided to find a way out and make a decision. Of course, he couldn't just wander in, he had to know the situation outside first, so he locked the highest peak in the north, where he should be able to see a large area of the mountain, so
Then in the afternoon, he went with hundreds of followers and dozens of generals.
Soon, Wanyan Agu and the generals climbed to the top of the cliff. It was the setting sun at this moment, and the sunlight was shining on the water in the country below the mountain, reflecting dazzling light. The air was filled with the smell of putrefaction, and there were waves of
The hot wind laden with stench blew up to the top of the cliff, making people almost suffocated.
The tragic situation in the flooded land made Wanyan Aguda and his generals smack their lips and frown.
"Yelu Zongyuan, this thief, is really ruthless and has no regard for the lives of the people of Liao. Hehe, he is desperate to annihilate us. If this thief dares to do this, is he not afraid of divine punishment? He is the emperor of the world.
I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. If God tolerates him, I'm afraid the people of the Liao Kingdom won't tolerate him either." Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice.
"The funny thing is that we were unscathed. His methods harmed the Liao Kingdom themselves. This great flood will probably kill many people in the Liao Kingdom. It is really miserable for the people of the Liao Kingdom. Their emperor is like this
What hope is there for them?" Jurchen general Ali Bai said solemnly.
"Hmph! There is no good thing in these Liao dogs. They will die when they die. Isn't it worth regretting? In the future, when leader Wanyan seizes the country of Liao, and our Jurchen tribe's superior officers and soldiers, these Liao dogs will all be reduced to
I'm afraid we have to kill a large number of slaves to prevent them from gathering and causing chaos. Yelu Zongyuan killed a group of them for us first, so that we can do it ourselves in the future." Yalu Buhua snorted coldly.
The generals nodded one after another. In everyone's opinion, it doesn't matter if hundreds of thousands of people in the Liao Kingdom died. These people deserved to die. Yalu Buhua's words represented the aspirations of the generals. They did not care about the life and death of the people in the Liao Kingdom. In the long run,
Their hatred and oppression made the Jurchens full of hostility towards the entire Liao Kingdom and even ordinary people.
Yelu Zongyuan didn't want to get involved in this topic. He actually had his own plan in mind. If he took over the country of Liao and became the emperor, then these people of Liao would also become his own subjects. How could he go there?
Kill at will? However, at this moment, he did not explain this. He needed his soldiers to remain hostile to the Liao people, so that it would be easier to fight.
"Everyone, we don't care what Yelu Zongyuan does, but now we are in trouble again. The dry food we brought can only last for two days. Although Yelu Zongyuan's treacherous plan did not succeed, we did not receive any warning from the flood.
No harm at all, but we are trapped here at the moment. Look at the west. I thought that the west of Xingzhong Prefecture would not be affected by floods, but from here you can see a land more than ten miles to the west, a vast expanse of white covered with floods.
.The Daling River has been washed away, and there must be a vast country to the west of this mountain. My original plan to use this trick and go directly west to cross this mountain will also come to nothing." Yelv Zongyuan said in a deep voice.
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Yelu Zongyuan. Indeed, there was a vast ocean on both sides of the Daling River heading west. When the flood poured into the Daling River, the surge of water broke down the embankment of the Daling River. It was not a flood now.
The problem of overflow is that the banks of the Daling River have been damaged in many places, causing the water of the Daling River itself to overflow. The water has been gushing out on both sides, causing the flat land at the foot of the mountain west of Xingzhong Mansion and even west of Helong Mountain to be covered with water.
The floods are coming.
Yelu Zongyuan originally wanted to come here to check whether the west of Helong Mountain had been hit by floods. If the west of Helong Mountain had not been hit by floods, then he could just pass through Helong Mountain at this moment and directly enter the area west of Xingzhong Prefecture. Attack at will.
Supplies can be obtained from just a few cities. But now, visual inspection shows that the situation west of Helong Mountain is not optimistic.
Although he cannot see the situation dozens of miles away and can only make inferences based on the visual distance of more than ten miles, Yelv Zongyuan cannot take risks now. His army only has more than two days of dry food reserves. If this precious
Two days of material consumption were spent on crossing Helong Mountain. If we arrived at the western pass of Helong Mountain and found a vast ocean outside, we would run out of ammunition and food and there would be no room for maneuver. It would be a huge crisis. We were not defeated by Yelu Zongyuan.
He drowned in the flood, only to be trapped alive in this mountain. That was a big joke.
"What the big leader said is absolutely true. It's a pity that we don't have eyes from the sky, otherwise we would know the situation outside Helong Mountain. The current situation is really tricky." Yalu Buhua said with a frown.
All the generals frowned and said nothing, feeling a little worried in their hearts.
Wanyan Agu didn't want everyone to lose their military morale because of this. He waved his hands and said: "Don't worry too much. Can a living person be suffocated to death? We still have time. Maybe the flood will be rapid in the past two days because of the strong sun.
There’s no telling if it will subside. We can even escape the flood, which shows that the Changsheng Heaven is protecting us. What are we afraid of? Let’s go back to the bottom of the mountain first, and then we can make a long-term plan.”
All the generals nodded and said: "Yes, with the protection of the Immortal God and the great leader here, there is nothing to worry about."
