More than ninety miles south of Helong Mountain, a mountain called Fengtai Mountain stands tall. To say it stands tall is actually a bit exaggerated. After all, the highest peak of Fengtai Mountain is only more than 600 meters above sea level. But compared with Helong Mountain to the north,
, which is quite a bit higher.
At this moment, a huge cavalry horse was marching south along the wilderness on the east side of Fengtai Mountain. The early summer sun was shining overhead, and the temperature was very hot. The knights on the horse were already in low spirits, and the weather
The heat makes everyone tilt their heads and feel extremely depressed.
This soldier and horse are the Jurchen army who escaped from Helong Mountain and were surrounded by floods. They have been walking from Helong Mountain for a whole day and a morning. The soldiers and horses are exhausted and exhausted. What if this
At that time, even if an army of only ten thousand people suddenly attacked them, the army of more than one hundred thousand people would probably collapse immediately, without any fighting power.
Ahead was a small valley with dense tree shade. Wanyan Aguda, who was at the front of the team, accepted the advice of his subordinates and decided to let the soldiers and horses rest here to escape the high temperature at noon. After the order was issued, all the Jurchen soldiers felt like they had been granted amnesty.
, all rolled off their saddles and dismounted, lying on the ground in a mess, breathing with their mouths wide open. The Jurchens who have lived in and around the Changbai Mountains in the ice and snow for a long time have a strong ability to withstand the cold, but they do not seem to have much resistance to the heat. In addition,
They all had empty stomachs, so they all became extremely decadent.
"Feed and water the horses." Wanyan Agu gave the order. Someone began to feed the horses with beans and rice. The Jurchen soldiers watched eagerly as the horses chewed the food. They all swallowed dryly and wanted to rush up and get rid of them.
The horses grabbed a few bites from their mouths. However, the big leader had already issued a strict order that all food should be left to the horses, because they had to rely on horses to travel, and horses were much more important than people at this time.
At the edge of a forest ahead, Wanyan Agu drank all the water in his skin, wiped the sweat from his forehead and frowned at the undulating wilderness terrain ahead, with a very serious look on his face.
"How far is it from Andezhou? Logically speaking, we should be there soon. Didn't the news sent by Hai Dongqing not long ago say that they have crossed the Xiaoling River in Yue? Why is there no trace?" Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice.
He said, seeming to be talking to himself, and also seeming to be asking the people around him.
"Big Chief, are we going the wrong way? We should go from the wilderness to the east. We shouldn't listen to the Zhou people named Lin. Marching from the mountain side, maybe we missed Princess Jinhua and the others.
It's unknown." General Hulu said solemnly from the side.
Wanyan Aguda turned his head and glared at Hulu with a stern look. Hulu quickly shut up. Wanyan Aguda frowned and looked into the distance for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Go and invite Lin Jue."
Lin Jue arrived not long after, his cheeks were bulging, and he was obviously eating something. The Jurchens' lack of supplies had nothing to do with Lin Jue and the others. Lin Jue had plenty of supplies on hand. There were also a lot of compressed sugar cakes.
So Lin Jue didn't have to go hungry with them.
However, you have to be careful when eating. You cannot eat openly in front of the Jurchens, otherwise you are afraid of causing dissatisfaction with the Jurchens. When they just ordered a rest, Lin Jue and others were hiding in the woods to eat dry food. At this moment, it was obvious that
The solid food has not been swallowed yet.
Lin Jue swallowed the sugar cake in his mouth and bowed to Wanyan Aguda. Wanyan Aguda said with a smile: "Lin Jue, where are we? Something seems wrong. Logically speaking, we should have arrived at An
It’s Texas.”
Lin Jue waved his hand, and Wanyan Agu agreed and handed the sheepskin map in his hand to Lin Jue. Lin Jue spread the map on a tree stump, looked at it for a moment, pointed to a location and said: "Big Chief, currently we are
It is located on the southeast side of Fengtai Mountain. Ande Province is in the southeast direction. If my sister's marching speed is not affected, they should be able to meet up soon."
Wanyan Agu was overjoyed and said, "Seriously? That's great. We didn't go the wrong way?"
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "We did not go wrong, this is a shortcut to Ande Prefecture. But I don't know if my sister has encountered any trouble. You know, although Ande Prefecture is a small state capital, it is also a city of the Liao people.
.Previously, I asked the chief to tell my sister not to alert the Liao army defenders in Ande Prefecture, but to only cross the Xiaoling River from the north to the east. I don’t know if they ever did so. If not, if they were entangled by the Liao army in Ande Prefecture,
That would be a bit troublesome."
Wanyan Agu was shocked and said: "How can that happen? What if we get entangled by the Liao defenders in Ande Prefecture, wouldn't it be terrible?"
Lin Jue pondered: "It's not that bad. How many soldiers and horses can be stationed in Ande Prefecture? Didn't your sister bring 30,000 people to escort the supplies and grain trucks? The Liao army in Ande Prefecture does not have the ability to pose a threat to them. However,
The delay is bound to happen."
Wanyan Aguda nodded slightly and looked back at his soldiers and horses. He was actually very anxious. The delay was actually fatal. His soldiers and horses had already walked for three and a half days from the east side of Helong Mountain.
The time has passed, exceeding the expected three days. The soldiers only ate three meals, one meal of soup and two thin pancakes every day to barely maintain the strength to ride. If they can't join the girl's supporting troops and horses, I'm afraid they will just
You can kill a horse and eat it.
Lin Jue looked at Wanyan Aguda's face and thought to himself: Wanyan Aguda is nothing more than this. In this situation, he was also panicked and his mind was not clear. After a few words of his own, he believed it.
"Don't worry, Chief. I can guarantee that your sister will not encounter any entanglement from the Liao soldiers and horses." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Wanyan Agu frowned and said, "How can you see that?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's very simple. The last time your sister contacted the big leader Yi Hai Dongqing was an hour ago."
Wanyan Agu nodded and said: "Exactly, what does that mean?"
Lin Jue smiled and pointed to the sky in the southeast direction: "Look, Haidongqing's messenger is here again. He flew back and forth in an hour, which shows that your sister and we are not far apart. Haidongqing's flight
I don’t know how fast they are traveling, but I estimate that your sister and the others are already twenty or thirty miles away. They will be able to meet up soon."
Wanyan Agu looked in the direction of his finger. Several small black spots in the sky in the southeast were approaching quickly. It was Haidongqing's messenger arriving. Wanyan Agu whistled loudly, stretched out his right arm, and said three times:
A piece of sea blue fluttered and landed on Wanyan Aguda's arm. Wanyan Aguda couldn't wait to untie the bamboo tube, took out the letter, glanced at it a few times, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, they are here, just thirty miles southeast. Brothers, our food and supplies are all here, hahaha."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, and came to inquire one after another. Wanyan Agudao said: "Brothers camped on the spot. My smart girl knew that we were too exhausted to walk, so she asked us to camp here and wait for them. They will soon come
Arrived, arrived in less than an hour. Hahaha."
When the news came out, everyone cheered and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Wanyan Agu simply wrote a reply and gave it to Hai Dongqing to fly out. He turned around to talk to Lin Jue, but found that Lin Jue was no longer around.
"Hey, where is Lin Jueren?" Wanyan Agu asked.
"I've already left and gone to the woods." Yarubuhua said in a deep voice.
Wanyan Agu looked into the woods and saw Lin Jue's back walking away gracefully. He smacked his lips and said softly: "This Lin Jue... is not simple. He didn't see the content of the letter. Just based on Hai Dongqing's speed and speed.
I guessed the situation from the time interval, it’s not simple, it’s really not simple.”
General Yalu Buhua nodded slightly and said: "Yes, this person... is very powerful. I don't know why, I think he is... very powerful. There is such a person in Zhou Dynasty. Chief, don't you have some thoughts in your mind?"
Wanyan Agu frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Yalu Buhua didn't say anything, but General Hulu on the side said for him: "This guy is so capable, I'm afraid it will be a disaster to keep him."
Wanyan Agu's body trembled, and he turned to look at General Hulu. Hulu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Big leader, don't be angry, that's all I said."
Wanyan Agu stared at Hulu for a long time, then suddenly a smile appeared on his face, he reached out and patted Hulu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm not angry, and I don't blame you either. You are right, why should I be angry?
Wouldn't such a person in Dazhou be going to ruin my major affairs in the future? However...if such a person is used by me, wouldn't it be even more powerful for my Jurchen army? We are short of such people."
Yalu Buhua nodded and said: "The big leader really has lofty thoughts. If such a person is recruited and used by us, it will be of great benefit to our Jurchen army. We must recruit him."
Wanyan Agu stroked his beard and smiled. Hulu said casually: "What if he refuses?"
Wanyan Agu's big smile faded, and he pondered for a moment and said: "If he is not of any use to me, then I will kill him. If he refuses, he will die."
