In the early morning of the next day, Duan Jingzhu and others came to the royal tent of Hebul Khan again. This time Duan Jingzhu directly asked about the arrival of the Jurchens, but Hebul Khan only said that the Jurchens came to force them.
Handing over cattle and sheep to supply the Jin Kingdom made Duan Jingzhu a little suspicious. If the Jin Kingdom was the most powerful, such a thing would not be impossible, but now that the Jin Kingdom is weak, how could they do such a thing again?
What happened? You must know that the Qiyan tribe, as the most powerful tribe on the grassland, is not that easy to bully!
"The Great Khan's intentions are unpredictable. It seems we must get information from other herdsmen or tribal leaders!" That night, when everyone was discussing, Duan Jing said. --
Everyone was convinced by Duan Jingzhu's words. In the next few days, these people in Liangshan kept asking for information. Unexpectedly, the information they obtained was that the Qiyan Department was extremely friendly to them, whether they were tribal leaders or ordinary people.
The herdsmen all showed extraordinary friendship, which puzzled Duan Jingzhu and others, and their nervous mood gradually relaxed.
"It's not good for us to stay in the Qiyan tribe all the time. Why don't I go to other tribes to have a look and find out what other tribes are saying." They had been staying in the Qiyan tribe for five days, Tian Chengguan said.
"The tribes on the grassland are far apart. Master Chengguan, I will accompany you!" Lu Junyi thought for a while and said.
"Okay!" Cheng Dian nodded. He rarely came to the grassland. If he didn't have acquaintances to follow him, he might not be able to find other tribes.
So Duan Jingzhu continued to stay in the Qiyan tribe, while Chengguan and Lu Junyi went to the Naiman tribe, Tatar tribe and other places. The grassland area was huge, and a thousand-man team led by Wanyan Sagai also went to various tribes.
They kept wandering around, but the two sides never met. Several times, just after Wanyan Sa Gai left, Cheng Guan and others had already arrived. Cheng Guan and others knew that the Jurchens had come, and they were even more worried.

The grasslands in winter are extremely cold, and it is equally cold in the northwest!
The north wind was howling, and at this moment, there were hundreds of Jurchens riding towards the front in the Gobi Desert in the northwest. These Jurchens were all wearing thick leather clothes, and when the strong wind blew, they even had to dismount and hide for a while before continuing to set off.
"My father asked us to go to the northwest to visit Zhongshi Dao first. He said that Zhongshi Dao is a knowledgeable figure among the Song people. He will definitely cooperate with us to deal with Liangshan! As long as he agrees, it is equivalent to the entire Western Army agreeing.
! Then let Zhong Shidao introduce us to Tong Guan, and then Tong Guan will introduce us to the emperor of the Song Dynasty. I believe that the emperor of the Song Dynasty will cooperate with us." said the leading young man.
"If the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the emperor of the Song Dynasty will definitely agree." The young man was Wanyan Zongfu, the son of Wanyan Aguda, and beside him was a general named Wanyan Feng, a Jurchen general.
"The Han people in Liangshan have developed to such an extent, we never dreamed of it before." Wanyan Zongfu sighed softly and said.
"Yes, no one could have imagined that they would become our formidable enemies! Then Yelu Dashi went to the west to contact the Khitan tribe, and I wonder what happened?" Wan Yanfeng frowned and said.
"Even if we contact those Khitan tribes, it is of no use! The Khitan tribe in the western desert has a very small population, and you don't know what the Khitans are like. No matter how many they are, they are not as good as us Jurchens! Moreover, the Song people
It’s nothing, then the Western Army’s combat effectiveness is probably very limited.” Wanyan Zongfu sighed again.
"The main reason for contacting the Song people is to borrow food, not because they have any fighting power. When we enter the Song Dynasty, we will immediately display the banner of our Jin Kingdom. The Song people will definitely come to welcome us." Wanyan Fenghe said.
said one voice.
"This is not possible! If the people in Liangshan know about it, they may stop us in the northwest." Wanyan Zongfu said.
"That is the territory of the Western Army. There will be no Liangshan army." Wan Yanfeng said.
"Liangshan's power is too strong, we'd better be careful. If it were us Jurchens who would definitely dare to operate in the enemy's territory, Liangshan's army is no worse than our Jurchens. We must understand this!" Wanyan Zongfu said.
Until now, there are still some people in the Jurchen army who think Liangshan's victory was a fluke or luck. Wanyan Feng in front of him is one of them, which makes Wanyan Zongfu feel a little difficult! Wanyanfeng is indeed not convinced, but Wanyan Zongfu is
Prince, he just doesn't want to continue arguing with Wanyan Zongfu.
Hundreds of them headed towards Jingyuan City in the northwest, passing through several prefectures and counties along the way. The soldiers at the gates of these prefectures and counties all looked lazy. Several times they passed by the Western Army's barracks, and the barracks were deserted.
Sometimes there was not a single soldier in sight. Later, after they inquired on the road, they found out that all the soldiers of the Western Army had returned home in winter. This made Wanyan Zongfu secretly frown. The Western Army was so lax, and such an army
What’s the point of union?
"Why isn't the Western Army training?" Wanyan Zongfu asked with some confusion.
"What the prince doesn't know is that the Western Army has been slacking off for a long time! Normally, the general would not dare to let the soldiers train hard. If the general urges the soldiers too hard, I'm afraid the soldiers will camp!" said a Han man next to him. This Han man was in the army at the time.
A student from Northeast China took refuge with the Jurchens. Over the years, he worked wholeheartedly for the Jurchens and had already gained the Jurchens' trust.
"It's really a strange thing in the world." Wanyan Zongfu couldn't believe it.
"Actually, the soldiers in Jingyuan City are trained quite hard. They are a direct line army with a strong sense of mastery, which is extraordinary! There are also tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Tong Guan's hands. The Western Army relies on these elite soldiers to fight!" Then
Sheng said again.
"Their strength is still too weak! If their strength is strong enough, then if we join forces, Liangshan should be able to be subdued!" Wanyan Zongfu frowned.
"I hope Lord Sagai can unite the Mongols. Although the Mongols are barbarians, they are also extremely powerful!" Wan Yanfeng said.
Although the Jurchens themselves are also barbarians, since the founding of the Jin Kingdom, they have regarded themselves as a "superior country". In their eyes, the Mongols are obviously uncivilized barbarians.
"Let's go! Come to Jingyuan City quickly, I want to see Zhongshi Dao first! No matter whether their army is weak or strong, I have to rob the army of food first!" Wanyan Zongfu said.
A few days later, they finally arrived in Jingyuan City. At that moment, they headed towards Zhongshi Dao's Jingluezhi Yamen, but here they were stopped. Please come and watch the first release without advertisements--
