The palaces here are beautifully built. Although they are not as majestic as the palaces in Shangjing or Yanjing, they have a different kind of elegance.
However, due to years of fighting, this place has been basically abandoned. The palace is covered with weeds, and the utensils in the palace also seem a bit old. There should be only a large number of palace residents here, but now there are only a few.
Yelu Dashi, Wanyan Zongwang and others are all well-informed. They have seen many similar palaces, so they don't think there is anything remarkable here. On the contrary, the two brothers from the Mongolian Kelie tribe are standing there blankly at this moment.
Admiring the beautiful scenery here, the two brothers were even imagining what it would be like to live in such a palace.
Seeing the dull look of the two brothers, Yelu Dashi, Wanyan Zongwang and others couldn't help laughing.
"This is such a wonderful place! We can only live in yurts on the Mongolian grasslands, and we can't live in a place like this." Gaitar murmured.
"Is this considered a good place? As far as I know, the palaces of the Han people are much better than this!" Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said.
"Better than here?" Getar said in surprise.
"In Bianliang City, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty spent 20 years and spent all the power of the world on Huashi Gang to build a Genyue mountain next to Bianliang City. The palace there is the best in the world.
In addition to the palace itself being well built, the interior decoration is also extremely luxurious and exquisite. The best treasures in the world are there.
Including flowers, birds, insects, stones, gold, silver and jade, as well as treasures left by the Han people for more than a thousand years. I heard that in order to transport these treasures to the palace, the emperor of the Song Dynasty dug up most of the famous tombs in the world and filled them with
Take out all the treasures. Hehe, you will definitely be reluctant to leave when you get there." Wanyan Zongwang said with a smile.
What Wanyan Zongwang said was not a lie. While Huizong of the Song Dynasty was carrying out the Huashi Gang, he also dug up all the famous tombs in the world for the various cultural relics and treasures inside, in order to build the perfection in his heart.
Genyue in the world. Later, when the Jin soldiers captured Bianliang
, Gen Yue was also destroyed, and the treasures in Gen Yue were either destroyed or transported to the north. In addition to these common objects, the number of palace maids in Gen Yue also reached 20,000, all of whom were the most beautiful in the world.
All were transported to the Jin Kingdom in the north and became the playthings of the Jin people.
The two Mongolian brothers stood there blankly, imagining what kind of beautiful scenery it would be. After a while, Gaitar suddenly said: "Is the emperor of the Han people crazy? Why does he have all the resources in the world to do this?
Doesn't he know how weak the Song soldiers are? With such strength and wealth, why not build an army?"
Wanyan Zongwang laughed loudly and said: "The emperor of the Han people is so ignorant, that's why the Han people's country will become weaker and weaker!"
Yelu Dashi, Guo Yaoshi and others also laughed. Wanyan Zongwang turned aside these generals of the Liao Kingdom and felt a burst of disdain in his heart. He looked down on the emperor of the Song Dynasty and also looked down on the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Kingdom
Although I don’t do flowers and stones
Gang, but his mediocrity is not inferior to that of Zhao Ji. The only thing Yelu Yanxi likes is hunting. When the Jurchens started in the north, he still did not forget hunting. He had no ideas or thoughts about military affairs. Such an emperor would also lose his country.
The king.
"Second prince, how do you think we should attack the Liangshan army?" Several people stayed in the palace for a while. Except for the Mongolian brothers, they all felt that the place was too deserted. Now everyone walked outside, Yelu Dashi walked away
asked.
"We have hundreds of thousands of troops. Such a war is not difficult at all. We can just press on when the time comes! Just from here to Yanjing, there are many hills and peaks along the way. Be careful in those places.
Some." Wanyan Zongwang thought for a while and said.
"Hills or mountain peaks? Those places are not good for our cavalry operations?" Yelu Dashi frowned and said.
He has been thinking about this issue these days. If Liangshan comes to those hills and mountain peaks, the advantage of their cavalry will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, the Liangshan army is all infantry. Such a battle is extremely beneficial to the Liangshan army.
"It's not good for cavalry combat, so we can get off the horse! Besides, the Liangshan army may not be there. As far as I know, the Liangshan army has not captured Yanjing City yet. I think their main force should be in Yanjing City now?" End
Yan Zong looked at it.
"What the Second Prince said makes sense." Yelu Dashi nodded.
He said this, but he felt in his heart that the Liangshan army might not be in Yanjing City. He vaguely felt that the Liangshan army was waiting for them in the mountains north of Yanjing.
"Okay, no matter where they are, we can send some spies to investigate the situation ahead! From today on, all armies will send a large number of spies and then pass all the news to me." Wanyan Zongwang said.
After the few people returned to the army, they did not leave immediately with the army. Instead, they let the army rest here for a whole day before continuing to set off. This time they sent a large number of spies to carefully explore the situation ahead.

In the Xixia army where Shi Xiu belonged, his boss Li Da was in a very bad mood because he was assigned to a reconnaissance mission.
At this moment, he was looking a little sad while riding on the horse, but Shi Xiu, who followed Li Da, was in a better mood at this moment. He was about to find a way to leave the Xixia Army, and then told the Liangshan Army about the situation of the army here. It's better now.
Just in time to go out.
"Why are you still smiling?" Seeing Shi Xiu's happy expression, Li Da snorted coldly.
"General, I'm really bored staying in the army these days. I think it's good to be able to go out for a walk now." Shi Xiu said with a smile.
"What do you know? We are not going out for a walk, we are going to be spies at the front! This is an extremely dangerous mission. If we encounter the enemy at the front, we may not be able to come back!" Li Da said in a gloomy tone.
"General, don't worry. We are all riding war horses. As soon as we see the enemy from a distance, we will turn around and leave immediately. The enemy will not be able to catch up with us," Shi Xiu said.
"That's the only way! ***, I really don't want to work for the Khitans!" Li Da said with some indignation.
Their team changed from a single unit to a scattered one, and they headed forward on horseback. After walking for more than a hundred miles, they did not see any trace of the Liangshan army. Shi Xiu was not anxious at all. This was still a grassland area, and it was not far away from Yan State.
Beijing is extremely far away, and it is impossible for the Liangshan army to appear here.
After walking for several days, although they did not encounter the Liangshan army, they did encounter many deserters from the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. These deserters continued to bring some bad news, including Shunzhou, Ruzhou, and Tanzhou.
There were constant reports that the area was being conquered, and some soldiers even said that the emperor of Daliao had been captured, but the soldier was not very sure about this news.
As this much news came, the officers and soldiers of the Liao army became more and more impatient. Gradually, the officers and soldiers of the Liao army ran to the front, while the Xixia people, Mongols, and Jurchens followed behind the Liao army.
Looking at this army from a distance, the Liao army is the most chaotic, followed by the Xixia army. The Mongolian team is slightly better, while the Jurchen team is extremely neat. Their team gives people the feeling of being overwhelmed by a mountain.
With majestic momentum, although they followed at the end, they brought the greatest pressure to people.
Some hills gradually appeared on the grassland, and several high mountains could already be seen in the distance.
Shi Xiu's identity at the moment was a scout for the Jurchens. On this day, he and several Xixia soldiers went forward and entered the mountains ahead. According to his guess, this place should belong to Qilaotu Mountain, and further south
It's Nuruerhu Mountain. These are the words of the Khitan people. There are no specific names for these two mountain ranges in Chinese. After passing through these two mountains, going south, there is the Yanshan Mountains.
The mountain forests in summer are lush and green, and the roads in the mountains are not easy to walk. There are branches everywhere blocking the way. Sometimes they have to get off their horses and use a knife to split the branches in front of them before they can continue forward.
The Xixia soldiers were cursing one by one. After walking for dozens of miles, no one wanted to go any further, so everyone jumped off their horses and squatted on the ground to rest. Some people had already found a slightly dry place and lay there, looking like
Comfortable look.
"Li Xiu, why are you still on the horse?" The leader of the team asked Shi Xiu in surprise when he saw that Shi Xiu had not dismounted.
Li Xiunai is Shi Xiu's pseudonym. "Li" is the most common surname in Xixia. Legend has it that this is the surname given to the Xixia people by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. In addition to the Xixia royal family's surname Li, many ordinary people in Xixia also have the surname Li.
The surname is Li.
"There seems to be a wild deer ahead. I'll go ahead and have a look." Shi Xiu said.
"Oh? Are there wild deer?" the team leader suddenly became excited.
"I'm going to catch that wild deer, and we'll also have a tooth ceremony. You guys wait for me here." Shi Xiu said with a smile.
