Chapter 61: Looking North (2)
Chapter 61: North View (2)
"The front is Gubeikou!"
The guide leading the way just pointed at the undulating pass in front of the mountains and said to the knight behind him with a trembling voice.
In front is the winding Yanshan Mountains that are separated from the outer border and the Youyan land. On the towering and undulating mountains, the ancient Great Wall is just hovering on the top of the mountain. Qin bricks and Han tiles are just standing coldly in the mountain wind.
The Liao people were defeated so badly that even here, there were no one to guard them. Along the way, even for key military states like Tanzhou, the Liao people's ruling system had already collapsed. Local tyrants had occupied Tanzhou and only wanted to protect themselves. Ma Kuo and his group passed by Tanzhou, and some dry food and wine were placed far away on the city as a reward for the army. The local tyrants did not belong to either side, they just waited and watched whoever could occupy the land of Youyan in the future, they would obey who would obey!
The Liao Kingdom is over, just waiting for the last blow. Who will belong to this Youyan land?
Ma Kuo sat upright and watched the dangerous passes that had not changed for thousands of years appear empty, and he felt infinite emotion in his heart.
More than a hundred years ago, under the leadership of a hero Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan tribes broke through the pass and marched south from here, traveled south by Youyan, and even reached the south of the Yellow River. This land was their world. Shi Jingtang, who had been in danger for thousands of years, gave the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitans. In a blink of an eye, it was a hundred years. The Khitans had even lost the ability to place defenders at such a critical pass, and they were alone in Yanjing and survived. Will there be more vicious enemies, carrying the cold wind outside the frontier, sweeping out from here again until the world overturned?
Beside him, the young Yue Fei also stood up, looking at the scene in front of him, and he could not hide his excited expression on his face. Over the past century, this is the first time that the Han soldiers came to the great defense line built by their ancestors, facing the clouds in the north!
Fang Teng followed up panting, and he was walking fast all the way. There were many people suffering from Bianliang. Needless to say, his legs were worn out, his face was also a black and thin, and his lips were full of cracked holes, but he was very energetic. Looking at the winding mountains in front of him, Fang Teng stroked his chest and smiled: "A man can have no regrets at this point!"
Yue Fei sighed: "It's a pity that Xiao Xuanzan was not leading me here..."
Ma Kuo glanced at Yue Fei and smiled and said, "It's enough for us here! Xiao Xuanzan is eager for Yanjing, which is also justified. I insisted on going north, which has caused him a lot of trouble. Xiao Xuanzan's situation is the most clear. Although the scenery is so glorious, it is actually the wind sword and frost behind it. Only by taking down Yanjing can he completely stabilize his position... but I can't help him! After passing Gubeikou, not far north is Bei'anzhou where the Jurchens stationed their troops. The Jurchens were going to break in, and the greatest possibility is at Gubeikou... We only have 200 people, Yue brothers, don't you regret it?"
Yue Fei smiled faintly: "Xiao Xuanzan will come to pick us up..."
Ma Kuo looked at Yue Fei, smiled bitterly, and turned his head over. Fang Teng looked at Yue Fei with great interest: "Why are you so confident? Xiao Xuanzan will come?"
Yue Fei pursed his lips and pondered for a moment before saying lightly: "When the entire army was defeated and he dared not look north, it was Xiao Xuanzan who saved this kind of luck. If the Jurchens went south and brought about a major change in the situation in Yan, Xiao Xuanzan would also turn the tide! I have this feeling, Xiao Xuanzan appeared in front of us because of this war!"
Fang Teng laughed loudly and just pointed at Yue Fei and nodded: "What a loyal subordinate of Xiao Xuanzan!"
Ma Kuo was beside him and looked at Fang Teng: "Senator Fang, why are you here with us again? If the Jurchens don't come, that's Wan'an. If the Jurchens come, we are going to die here......Senator Fang Jinming's people, why should they suffer such hardships and take such risks with us Qiu Ba? Now, Senator Fang has seen it. It's not easy to get here. I'll arrange several riders to send Senator Fang back..."
Fang Teng smiled unabated, but he just shook his head slowly: "I came here to see... I want to see if the Jurchens went south, how should Xiao Xuanzan deal with it... The Song Dynasty was just as flowers were blooming and the fire was cooking oil, but I don't know how many people could see the holes under this skin? I don't know where the person who saved the world was, I can't find it in Bianliang, I can't find it in the Xuan Zheng Office, and the ministers of the Western Army, but I don't know if I can find a person who saves the world in the Youyan War? The victory of the Zhuoyi War is really incredible. What's even more rare is that the person who created this miracle has no entanglement with the various forces in the Song Dynasty... I just want to see, can he create another miracle?"
In the Wuthering Mountain Wind, Ma Kuo just listened to Fang Teng's words quietly. Some of the words were too heartbroken. Ma Kuo was not good and could not interfere. From the beginning to now, he just wanted to be a simple soldier.
If you can serve as a barrier to the defense line established by your ancestors, if there is a wind and thunder coming south, you can stand on the front line to fight to the death, ensure that the army will win, and ensure that someone can recover Yanjing. No matter whether it is life or death, success or failure, there will be no regrets in your life. The land of Youyan has been dreaming of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years. If you can work hard to die like this, why should you think about anything else?
He nodded to Fang Teng and smiled: "Since Senator Fang is willing to do this thankless job with us, then the same person is here! I only believe that as long as you are a man, you will never regret it regardless of life or death!"
He and Yue Fei no longer turned around and looked south, but looked north: "Brothers, head north! We will guard this Great Wall, so that Xiao Xuanzan can safely defeat Yan Yun and make us the first Great Song army to arrive here in the past century!"
