Things between countries seem very serious most of the time, but there are always times when they feel subtle.

The Song State united the Liao State and the Western Xia State to resist the Jin State, and sent troops to the territory of the Jin State, which caused a certain amount of trouble to the Jin State, so that the Liao State only condemned the affairs of Youzhou and Danzhou, and did not take other substantive actions.

When life and death are at stake, a part of the land becomes less important. As long as the unification can be continued and survived, it is worth losing the land. As long as people are still there, sooner or later, there will always be the possibility of regaining the lost land.

The Battle of Tianling was of great significance to the Liao army. Similarly, for Jin Jun, the significance is also not small.

If the Liao army wins, then the Jin army will be greatly damaged, at least for a long time, the Jin army will no longer be able to take the initiative to attack as it is now, and it will blossom on all sides.

Moreover, the Song, Liao, and Xia kingdoms will definitely not give the Jin State a chance to breathe, and the Jin State will need to shrink its defenses again, and the areas it has just occupied will have to be abandoned.

If the Jin army wins, then the consequences for the Liao army will be even more serious. Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi had already pressed the treasure in this battle, and he sent an army of 300,000 to fight the Jin army in Tianling, along with 50,000 cavalry from Western Xia.

The 300,000 army is already more than half of the regular army of the Liao army, if this battle is defeated, the Liao army will no longer be able to regain its ability, and it will only be slaughtered by the Jin State in the future.

Therefore, the fighting on both sides in Tianling is in full swing, and the three days and three nights of non-stop fighting have made the corpses spread all over the mountains, and for the attack and defense of a special position, it is even more bloody.

When Wanyan Lou heard about it in Dading Mansion, he was also very anxious. He was about to lead the army to help, but he suddenly appeared behind the other party as a surprise soldier, and the other party must not have imagined it. In this way, you can win by surprise and defeat the Liao army.

However, Song Jun's sudden sideways intervention made him have to let go of these messy thoughts and concentrate on dealing with Song Jun.

But he couldn't beat it, so these days, Wanyan Lou's room was very melancholy in the Shuai Mansion.

The recruitment work has been carried out quite well, and with the original 40,000 men, he now has 70,000 under his command to drive. But against the Song army, this number is far from enough.

At least between 130,000 and 150,000 before Wanyan Lou felt that there was a possibility of victory.

Just as he was thinking about how to fight against the extremely powerful weapon of the Song army, a small soldier suddenly ran in.

"Report~! Report to the marshal, our army received information that the Song army has now arrived at Mayu Mountain! ”

"What?!" Wan Yan Lou got up suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "Is the news reliable?!" ”

Xiao Bing swallowed his spit and said, "Back to the marshal, this news is the return of the herdsmen of Mayushan."

said. Their tribe was on the grassland on the western slope of Mayu Mountain, and when it was cold, they lost a few cattle, and when they were looking for them, they saw the soldiers of the Song army.

Later, the Song army captured more than 20,000 of their cattle and sheep and drove them out of Mayu Mountain...... The head man sent a herdsman to ride a fast horse to Dading Mansion to report the matter, and the villain felt that it should not be fake. ”

"! It's all hit to Mayu Mountain, are the defenders of Bei'an Prefecture busy eating?! Wan Yan Lou Room scolded: "Immediately notify the Songting Pass guards and ask them to bring people over to support immediately!" ”

"Yes." Xiao Bing answered, hurriedly left the Shuai's mansion, and rushed to report the incident to everyone. After the soldiers left, the soldiers from Wanyan Lou's room walked in from outside and asked, "Dashuai, but what happened?" ”

"The Song army has arrived at Mayu Mountain!"

"What?!"

The soldiers were also surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, how did the Song army get to Mayu Mountain?" ”

After looking down at the map for a long time, Yan Lou Room said: "The place where we fought with the Song army before was the Gubei Pavilion, I'm afraid that the Song army didn't stay long after defeating us, so they took the road to Homesick Ridge and touched the Douling line to bypass Bei'anzhou."

No wonder the defenders of Bei'an Prefecture did not have a military return, if this is the case, then it makes sense. ”

After saying that, Yan Lou lowered his head and looked at the map. If the information about the Song army is true, then their intentions are already very obvious. That is, to climb over Mayu Mountain and approach Dading Mansion.

After thinking for a while, he felt that he couldn't sit still. So he immediately dispatched soldiers and sent 20,000 cavalry to wait outside the city, and then sent people to Yuzhou, Jianzhou, Enzhou, Huizhou and large and small prefectures and counties near Dadingfu, asking them to send troops to support.

After Yan Lou's room, the first Meng'an in the Jin army was changed to the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the first commander in the army. Now Wanyan Lou has been promoted to the rank of captain, and there are countless people who want to befriend him.

After Yan Lou's room gave an order, there were many followers. Several prefectures and counties gathered a total of more than 80,000 troops, divided into four directions, and marched together towards Dadingfu.

At the same time, Wanyan Lou also sent 5,000 elite horsemen to wait for the Song army near Mayu Mountain. Their task was not to inflict damage on the Song army, they were responsible for biting the Song army, and they were responsible for taking on the task of some scouts, which were specially sent by the Wanyan Lou Room to disgust Tang Ning.

Three days later, the arrangement of Wanyan Lou's room has been completed, and next, it is only necessary to wait quietly for the arrival of Song Jun.

Wanyan Lou's room dispatched troops for three consecutive days, which made the people in Dading Mansion panic. However, Wanyan Lou's explanation for this was just a pale 'drill'.

Nothing had happened so far, but everyone knew that it was nothing more than the calm before the storm.

The Song army arrived

The news of Ma Yushan is not only known to Wanyan Lou Room, you say a word, I say a word, and everyone in the Manda Dingfu will know it.

Some of the people began to flee, and when the Jin army attacked Dading Mansion, they did not flee, but as a result, their wealth was scattered, and they became poor peasants overnight.

Now that life has finally improved, they don't want to go through it again.

Wanyan Lou did not stop this, he wanted to use practical actions to prove to these foolish people that their judgment was so stupid.

Just when Wanyan Lou's room was full of fighting spirit and was ready to welcome Tang Ning's arrival, Tang Ning and the Zhenguo army had already crossed Ma Yu Mountain.

Because when there is no war, the Zhenguo Army often conducts this kind of exercise. For example, running three laps around Kaifeng Mansion and the like is to exercise the soldiers' ability to march long distances.

This kind of exercise is now in handy, starting from the Gubei Pavilion and ending over Mayu Mountain, and the well-trained Zhenguo Army soldiers took only eight days.

This is a very terrifying speed, because the army of 50,000 people is very large. Moreover, it is necessary to carry all kinds of grain and grass, and also lead cattle and sheep, drive chickens and pigs, which has a very obvious impact on speed.

However, a similar situation of the Zhenguo Army had been experienced at least ten times in the previous three years of peace, and everyone had a clear division of labor, and without too many mistakes, the speed increased.

At this time, the cavalry troops of Wanyan Lou Room had not yet arrived at the foot of Mayu Mountain......

After getting off Mayu Mountain, Tang Ning suddenly became interested. Stretched out his hand and pointed to Ma Yushan behind him, and said to the people around him: "Do you know what the story of Ma Yushan is?" ”

Zhao Tong is naturally clear, and Chong Jianzhong also understands. But these two people were not so puzzled, so the two laughed and said nothing, and the rest, such as Xiaoshi and Fang La, shook their heads and said, "I don't know." ”

"This Mayu Mountain is said to be the origin of the Khitan people, and in the legend of the Khitan, it is said like this:

According to legend, there is a god who rides a white horse, from the floating earth river of Mayu Mountain to the east, and there is a heavenly woman who rides a green ox cart from the flat pine forest and the river down. To Konoha Mountain, the two rivers merged, met as spouses, and gave birth to eight sons. Later, the clan gradually flourished and was divided into eight divisions. ’

In the past, every time the Khitan people marched here, as well as the Spring and Autumn Festival, they did not forget to lead the white horse and lead the green ox to show that they did not forget their roots.

Who would have thought that Ma Yu Mountain, which now symbolizes the origin of the ancestors of the Khitan people, has fallen into the hands of the Jurchens. ”

Chong Jianzhong sighed with emotion in a timely manner: "The hometown of the gods has changed hands, and the Khitan trend has come to an end." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that. While it's still early, let's move on, grab more time, and rest near Dading Mansion. ”

"Only."
