Extra Chapter 31: Regret for the Mountain Easy, Regret for the Difficulties of the Gao Family! Ask for a Monthly Pass)

In the night, several fire dragons advanced side by side on the plain between Liyang County and Dali Mountain, and rushed southward in a mighty manner.

The terrain of Liyang is roughly flat, but it is not without any danger. Otherwise, it would not have become a place where military strategists must fight for!

There are three dangers in Liyang, one is Liyang City. Liyang City is located on the edge of Yongji Canal. Before the Yellow River diverted northward, the convenience brought by Yongji Canal was followed by the convenience brought by Yongji Canal. Liyang City is not only a transportation hub between the north and south of the Yellow River, but also a grain transport and storage center in Hebei. The famous Liyang Cang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was located in the Liyang County.

The second danger in Liyang is of course Dalishan. Although this mountain is not high or big, it is definitely a commanding height in a place like Junzhou, and it is also next to the Yellow River.

The third dangerous place in Liyang is the ten thousand-year-old new embankment of the Yellow River!

At this time, the Yellow River has long been a hanging river. What is a hanging river? It means that the river bed is higher than the ground, and the river water passes over the head, and it looks like the hanging river!

This kind of suspended river depends entirely on the large embankment to constrain the water flow so that the water will not flood Jinshan. Therefore, the dam of this bunch of water must also be much higher than the ground. To bind a large river like the Yellow River, the dam must be built very high and thick.

The Yellow River embankment in Liyang, known as the Wannian New Embankment, was built during the Zhenghe period when Zhao Ji was in power. At that time, it was the heyday of the Northern Song Dynasty's national strength, and it was also a face-saving project personally led by the treacherous minister Cai Jing. Of course, it would not cut corners. The embankment was built high and thick, very sturdy, and it was definitely a dangerous place!

According to the news that Guo Yaoshi told Wanyan Wushu on the evening of the third day of the first lunar month, the 100,000 three imperial guards led by Gao Qiu, the Grand Marshal of Song State, have now occupied the two dangerous places, the Wannian Dike and the Dali Mountain, and have strangled the throat of the Jin soldiers going south.

If these two places cannot be almost captured as soon as possible, the army of more than 100,000 of the Dajin East Route Army will be blocked north of the Yellow River!

Although it was very successful to hit the north bank of the Yellow River, Kaifeng Prefecture, the richest city in the world, is just a hundred miles away. You can see it at a height, but you can't eat it. How uncomfortable it feels?

So, Wanyan Wushu, who received the report, sent people to Wanyan Jiemu and Wanyan Zongwang in the rear, and asked them to lead their troops quickly. While immediately targeting the 20,000 troops under his command, he had to rush to the battlefield before completing the defense on the Dali Mountain and the Yellow River embankment!

Wanyan Wushu believed that as long as his 20,000 army arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River, Gao Qiu's 100,000 army would not be able to make good arrangements on the Dali Mountain and Wannian New Dike.

As long as Gao Qiu cannot complete the defense, when the main force led by Wanyan Jiemu and Wanyan Zongwang arrive, even if Gao Qiu has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to rely on only 100,000 three Bianliang soldiers to block the Dali Mountain and the Yellow River embankment.

Once the Dali Mountain and the Yellow River embankment are obtained, a situation of confrontation between the river can be formed.

Moreover, the Yellow River does not flow into the sea in the east, but into the north of the Juma River. The Yellow River is in Junzhou, and the territory of Guide Prefecture east of Huazhou will turn north! Although it is difficult for the Jin soldiers to cross the Yellow River between Sanshan Floating Bridge and Guangwu Mountain, it is not difficult to cross the river in Daming Prefecture to the north.

At that time, the Jin soldiers can still take a detour toward Kaifeng Prefecture!

Of course, if you don’t take down Dalishan and the Yellow River embankment, the Jin soldiers can also take a detour, but Gao Qiu, who just stationed troops in Dalishan, must not stop watching!

There is a army of 100,000! And it is quite capable. In one battle, it beat Guo Yaoshi's more than 4,000 people to only a few hundred. Even Guo Tiannu's little girl broke her skin into her long legs, breasts, and face. Maybe she was cheaper, Gao Qiu, that bad old man. It's such a pity!

Thinking that Guo Tiannu may have fallen into Gao Qiu's clutch now, Wanyan Wushu couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, he suddenly heard his brother Wanyan Alu (Zong Xian) shouting: "Wu Shu, look ahead!"

When Wanyan Wushu heard this, he thought there was a big pit or a mud wall in front of him, so he quickly pulled the reins and wanted to "block" a Jurchen horse under his crotch. The horse was running happily, but suddenly someone pulled the reins hard. Of course, he was not happy. Xi Liu neighed and raised his front hooves high, standing with only two hind legs.

After the horse stood up, Wanyan Wushu, who had already lowered his head and thought that Guo Tiannu, had a higher vision, and he saw a bright light in the night ahead at some time!

"This is"

When the war horse under his crotch hit the ground again, Wanyan Wushu had already stood up in the stirrup with a big frown, and Guo Yaoshi and Wanyan Alu also drove the horse closer together.

When Guo Yaoshi heard Wu Shu’s question, he immediately replied loudly: “The Fourth Prince, there is Dali Mountain, the area of ​​the Wannian Dike and the bridgehead of Tiancheng Bridge.”

Wanyan Wushu said: "Have Gao Qiu settled into a Ming camp?"

Wanyan Alu next to him said: "This camp doesn't look too big, can it squeeze into a 100,000 army?"

Yaoshi Guo felt a little guilty after hearing this. Just as he was thinking about how to explain to Wanyan Wushu, a shout suddenly sounded in the Song army camp in the distance!

"Long live! Long live! Long live"

The cheers were loud, at least tens of thousands of people shouting in unison, and the momentum seemed extremely high!

Under the night, Wanyan Wushu's face was already a little pale. What was the Southern Army doing? He was still yelling when he didn't sleep at night, and his morale was so high. Didn't they see the torches being beaten by the Great Jin Tianshang?

So many big Jintian soldiers came, they should be afraid! But they were so happy, what does this mean? Are you looking forward to going to war with the big Jintian soldiers?

Just because of this morale, Taiwei Gao can be called a famous general today! He must be careful when fighting such an opponent!

Thinking of this, Wanyan Wushu said to the left and right: "I ordered the entire army to speed up before dawn. We must rush to 10 miles north of Dali Mountain, and then set up a radius formation!"

The cube and circumference formation is to take the defensive first!

Wanyan Wushu felt that this Taiwei Gao's army seemed very powerful, and the number of people might be 100,000, so he had to be more cautious, first set up a defensive position, and then try to make progress.

"Long live! Long live! Long live"

The cheers almost broke Zhao Kai's eardrum!

The cheering was the more than 20,000 Song soldiers who were digging soil to build a "overnight shift" and these soldiers were so loyal and brave. They were not only not afraid of bleeding, but also not afraid of sweating.

This is not afraid of death or hardship, and they are talking about it!

Standing on the Wannian Dike, listening to the cheers of the soldiers below, and watching the scene of more than 20,000 people working enthusiastically, Zhao Kai was a little moved.

The female slave Guo Tiannu who was following him was even more shocked and stunned. These Song soldiers were too fickle, right? A quarter of an hour ago, when they saw several "fire dragons" appearing in the night, they were still panicked. And the handsome official said something, and his morale was immediately overflowing!

Well, that's right, it's just one sentence!

Zhao Kai’s words are worth ten thousand words, no, they are worth ten thousand words!

What he said was not "The rise and fall of the Song Dynasty, and in this battle, all the soldiers worked hard", but "guarded the three mountains, returned to Beijing and divided the houses in Kaifeng City, each person and a house, and lived and worked in peace and contentment!"

One person and one house in Kaifeng Prefecture City, the house is still the same as the one with a yard, each person is divided into one place!

From now on, there will be a house-owned class in Kaifeng Prefecture!

That is the house in Kaifeng Mansion, the world's number one. Anyone who can bring a yard is worth more than ten thousand yuan!

Not to mention joining the army, even the ministers in the court have to work hard to embezzle them, and they cannot be caught by the Censorate to be able to afford it!

And if these soldiers are in the army, they can save dozens of stakes of copper coins a year, they can already save a house of 10,000 stakes since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, and they have not been able to save it until now!

Moreover, the houses in Kaifeng Prefecture are increasing year by year!

A few dozens of stakes a year after being a soldier, while a ten thousand house can increase by hundreds of stakes a year!

This house is something that they are so powerful that they will never make in their lifetimes.

Now, as long as you keep the Three Mountains floating bridge, you will be alone after returning to Beijing. This is a golden word! Can the emperor’s promise be fake?

So these soldiers are no longer jealous, but their eyes are shining!

If Wanyan Wushu had arrived at the battlefield now, he might have seen 40,000 shining eyes

After cheering, the 20,000 Song soldiers who were working overtime all felt that they had endless strength, and they all worked hard, and everyone was working like crazy.

The speed of building the city was suddenly increased. At the foot of Dali Mountain, at the head of the Tiancheng Bridge, a castle was built up at a speed visible to the naked eye!

When Wanyan Wushu led more than 20,000 people arrived 10 miles away from the bridgehead of Dayi Mountain and Tiancheng Floating Bridge on the morning of the fourth day of the first lunar month, a castle surrounded by trenches was already in his sight.

"This, this, how is this possible? How could such a mighty city be built overnight?"

Before Wanyan Wushu could say anything, Guo Yaoshi was already screaming.

"What? overnight?" Wanyan Wushu looked back at Guo Yaoshi, "You mean when you came yesterday, this castle did not exist?"

"Of course it doesn't exist!" said Guo Yaoshi, "This, this city blocks the entrance to Tiancheng Bridge. If it exists, the Heavenly Girl will not lead 2,000 people to Tiancheng Bridge!"

Wanyan Wushu frowned and whispered: "How many people are needed to build such a large castle overnight?"

"This" Guo Yaoshi thought about it, "I'm afraid there are 200,000 people!"

"200,000" Wanyan Wushu took a deep breath and whispered: "I regret the easy mountain, I regret the difficult situation of the Gao family army."
