The rain in May and June comes as soon as possible. It was clear and dull just now, and it was so hot that people sweated heavily. Soon, dark clouds were covered with lightning, thunder and cold wind came from the southeast, and the air became cool instantly.

After a while, under the dark sky, the rain curtains pulled over from the hills in the distance, and soon, raindrops as big as beans fell around me.

The soldiers were excited instead. The summer rain was not cold, but could withstand the scorching heat.

At this time, the central army happened to arrive in front of Qigou Pass, and Li Xingzhou, surrounded by everyone, climbed up to the building at the entrance of Qigou Pass to shelter from the rain.

The sound of the raindrops became louder and louder, and the sultry heat dissipated. A burst of coolness was heard. The army continued to march in the rain, striving to arrive at Yanshan Prefecture within tomorrow.

He stood at the top of the city and looked at the surrounding terrain. It was actually not dangerous. The hillsides on both sides of the pass were not very steep. However, Qigou Pass was the gateway to the south of Yanshan Prefecture. After passing Qigou Pass, Yanshan Prefecture, the capital of China in later generations was exposed.

Except for the former commander Yan Shen, everyone else was around, but they didn't understand their feelings.

Because in this life, Qigou Pass was just a pass that was not so dangerous and not so famous. However, in later generations, the 200,000 troops of the Northern Song Dynasty were defeated here, and tens of thousands of dead fell apart. From then on, it even affected the Northern Song Dynasty's foreign strategy, national ideology, etc. in the long run.

It can be said that if it weren't for him, this place would be an extremely important place. The destiny of the country in the south and the situation in the north would all be decided in the battle of Qigou Pass.

But because of his arrival, Yanshan Prefecture was broken, and without the battle of Qigou Pass, this place was not so conspicuous, but rather mediocre.

Li Xingzhou felt for the first time that he might have changed history, and it was true that in the long river of history, he had already stirred up his first wave.

He set foot on Qigou Pass, which was the gateway of Yanshan Mansion, and was filled with passion. He couldn't help but say: "The road to the majestic pass is as iron as iron, and now he takes a step back!"

The teacher's words and sentences have always been magnificent and full of heroic desolation. This sentence has expressed his passion in his heart, giving him a sense of pleasure.

"The prince is so talented." Wei Yubai smiled beside him, "but it seems that it is not just talent..."

Li Xingzhou laughed and looked at the rain curtain outside: "Even talent is not mine. This is the word from an elder, and I chanted it casually."

However, he immediately thought that this poem was written by the teacher after the most critical victory in the Four Crossings of the Chishui River.

What Li Xingzhou thought of was crossing the Chishui River four times, with the national army 400,000 to 30,000, but as a result, Mr. Jiang was almost killed by himself. This kind of battle now looks like a god's operation, and it is too fake to be criticized in yy novels.

Four hundred thousand, I can drown 30,000 people in one mouthful of saliva!

But this is indeed a reality, or a battle that is fought when there are planes in the sky to detect the enemy's movements and the armies can use radio stations to contact and command.

It is not an exaggeration to the teacher's actions that shock the world and the earth.

This also reminds Li Xingzhou that war is not a certainty, and excellent commanders can turn decay into magic and impossible into possibility.

Moreover, he did not think that he had the same talent as a teacher, nor did he have such talent, so he had to make up for it with seriousness and caution.

His weapons and equipment have an advantage, but after so many wars in the Jin Kingdom, there must be experienced generals. If he was careless, he would not be able to be ready to escape at any time like Mr. Jiang. In such an era, once he fell into death, he would not be able to save the gods.

On the eaves, the rain in the trench ditch began to leave, and the water curtain was pulled out, and Li Xingzhou's expression became serious.

"What's wrong? Look at your nobleman's face is wrong." Wei Yubai asked.

"Haha, I'm just thinking about the people in Jin Dynasty who can fight. They all say that knowing yourself and your enemy will never win a hundred battles, but in the past few months we seem to be too focused on our own development and forgot to learn more about Jin Dynasty." Li Xingzhou said.

"Your Highness, your subordinates actually have this feeling, so they have been asking about the Jin Kingdom a few months ago, and now they know a little about it." Shen Lin bowed and said.

Li Xingzhou turned around and looked at the middle-aged scholar in surprise, then laughed: "Hahaha, you are so arrogant. I think you are a very good person. I have been thinking about it for several months more than me.

Tell me, what do you know."

Chanlin smiled, not afraid of favor and disgrace, nor was he anxious to bow his hands. Instead, he thought about it and spoke up: "Prince, if you want to talk about war, there are so many people in the Jin Dynasty. In the past few years, they fought from Liaodong to Shangjing, and then to Shanhaiguan. They fought thousands of miles of territory. The soldiers were elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and the generals and schools were all capable of fighting talents.

And the most noteworthy of these people is their Liao King Wanyan Zongbi."

"Wanyan Zongbi, I know this person." Li Xingzhou said, he was Wanyan Wugunai's younger brother.

"Yes, he almost conquered half of the Jin Dynasty. He was the younger brother of Jin Taizu. At first, when the Jurchens started the army from Liaodong, there were not many powerful generals who charged in the battle. Gradually, they became more and more popular.

After the Jin Kingdom captured Shangjing and established the country, Wanyan Wugunai had many things to deal with as the king of the country, so the army was actually commanded by his younger brother Wanyan Zongbi, and his troops were invincible."

Li Xingzhou nodded: "A such an opponent has to be taken seriously. He should be the head coach of the Jin army. He is both the brother of the late emperor and has a high prestige in the army." He pondered a little. Whoever wins in the war. The veteran is 450,000 and is still fooled. At this time, the value of the general is reflected.

"Wanyan Zongbi..." Li Xingzhou silently recited the name and wrote it down in his heart.

His troops did not have more advantages, and he could only be 50% higher than the Jin Kingdom. The new army's firearms had advantages, but he could not be careless. Compared with people like Wanyan Zongbi, he had too little experience in war.

Later, Chanlin told him some more detailed situations in the Jin Dynasty, such as the Jurchen tribes and their relationships.

As I was talking, in just half an hour, the rain stopped and a beautiful rainbow hung in the distance.

Li Xingzhou went downstairs and continued to rush north. However, after hiding from the rain, he became more cautious in his heart.

After passing Qigou Pass, Yanshan Prefecture will be immediately, which is the front line adjacent to the Jin Kingdom.

Yan Shen's front army should have arrived in Yanshan Prefecture at this time and set up camps for the army.

A large amount of supplies were transported from sea to Yanshan Prefecture for storage. As a strategic material for the army, everything can be said to be ready. As long as the rear army arrives at Yanshan Prefecture, a hundred thousand troops will be fully ready.

.........

On the last day of May, Li Xingzhou's central army headquarters arrived at the city of Yanshan, and Wei Chaoren personally led the guards and officials out of the city to greet them.

When we met again, Wei Chaoren seemed to have grown much older.

Li Xingzhou helped him up: "Thank you for your hard work, if you don't have you in Yanshan Mansion, the Jin people might have gone south at this time."

"Your Highness is too rewarded. What the old minister does is all his duties. He can die for the country and the country. I dare not say anything about hard work or not."

After some greetings, Li Xingzhou led his men into the city, and Liu Ji, Shen Lin, Yang Hongzhao and Wei Yubai commanded the army and set up camp outside the north gate of the city.

Flags were waving and dust was everywhere. The front and central troops were connected to each other outside the north gate, spreading dozens of miles from west to east. Fortunately, the terrain outside the city was flat and wide, so the camp did not stretch longer.

Now that we are waiting for the rear army, and when the rear army arrives, the camps of a hundred thousand troops will cover more than Yanshan City itself. Even if the new army is well-trained, it will take at least ten days to complete the entire camp.

Li Xingzhou is not in a hurry, and it is the first priority to stabilize his position.
