Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 525
Jiang Min walked out of the tent and looked at the snow-white ground under the dim light of the sky.The cold wind howled, and the fine snowflakes were sandwiched between them, hitting people's faces with pain.The surrounding mountains and forests are mottled, some places are white, and some places don't even have a single snowflake.

Wang Gan followed up and said: "The weather in August, if it is in the Central Plains, it is still extremely hot, but here it is already snowing. People say that Hu Tian is snowing in August, it is true. This kind of place is different from the Central Plains, and it is not right to do things." easy."

Jiang Min said: "What Hu Tian and August Feixue said is not here, but further north. Although it is colder than the Central Plains, it is still the Central Plains."

Wang dared to say: "What the system said is true."

Jiang Min looked up at the sky, and said to Wang Gan: "Call the others up. Eat early, and we will leave early."

Wang dared to promise and went back to call others.

In this kind of place, Wang Xiao's hunting army usually brings millet pancakes with fried noodles as military rations.The soldiers quickly boiled the water, and everyone ate breakfast with the hot water.When the first twilight of the morning glow falls, line up on the flat ground.

Jiang Min stepped forward and said: "After the Jin army was defeated by us, they fled to the mountains in this area. We chased it for two days, and when we came back yesterday, we finally caught the Jin army's trail. It will be today if it is early, or the day after tomorrow. We will catch up with the Jin Army. This battle is our first battle with the Jin Army since we entered Hedong! No need to say anything, we must wipe out the enemy army!"

All the soldiers proclaimed the promise together, with a majestic momentum.

Jiang Mindao: "I was ordered by the Commander-in-Chief to come to Hedong to fight against the Jin army. One is to unite heroes from all walks of life in Hedong and expel the Jin army. The other is to establish a base area and build a team that can fight under command. Follow me It turns out that the road has gone through a lot of hardships. When you get here, you have to forget everything else, follow orders, and complete these two tasks. The task is very difficult, and we all work hard together.”

After speaking, Jiang Min looked up at the mountains.Said: "The Jin army fled into the Yangjiao Mountain in the south, and it is estimated that they want to cross the mountain to Yicheng County and Jiangzhou. Let's work harder and wipe out these Jurchens in this mountain!"

The generals promise.Under the leadership of the guide, head towards the mountains.

Jiang Min was ordered by Wang Xiaolie to leave Xiangyang and come to the mountains on Hedong Road to develop his power.With Liangxing in the east and Li Songchen in the west, Jiang Min chose Jinzhou in the middle.Although the road was not smooth, there was Ruzhou in the east and Lushi County in the west. Jiang Min was not alone.

The Jin army guarding the East Road is Wanyan Yinshuke of Taiyuan Mansion. There are not many soldiers and horses, only [-] people.[-] gold soldiers can cross all roads in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is not enough to defend the place.Many prefectures and counties on Hedong Road are only nominally compliant with the Jin Dynasty and are governed by local autonomy.

Jiang Min chose Shenshan County as his base.Here is among the mountains, you can go to Jinzhou to the west and Jiangzhou to the south, so the transportation is convenient.Although the place is relatively barren and cannot support a large population, it is still suitable as a base.

Coming to Hedong Road, Jiang Min's relationship with Li Songchen and Liang Xing was not easy to handle.In principle, Li Songchen was the recruiter of Hedong Road.Although this position is a false position in the eyes of everyone, it is an official position after all.Liang Xing was the leader of the Taihang Mountain Rebel Army. Although his official position was not high, he had a high prestige on Hedong Road.When Jiang Min came, it was difficult to deal with whether she was below or above the two of them.

Wang Xiaolie didn't make it clear either.He just appointed Jiang Min as the appeasement envoy of Jinzhou and Jiangzhou to develop the forces behind the enemy.

In the enemy-occupied areas such as Hedong, Hebei, and Shaanxi, all kinds of official positions are not considered real.Send someone, any position.What really matters is the relationship with the rear.In this sense, Jiang Min has an advantage.

Shenshan County was originally governed by a local tycoon, Lu Yan. He was very happy to hear that Jiang Min had arrived.A cow was deliberately slaughtered to catch up with Jiang Min.Since then, Shenshan County has the background of Wang Xiaolie behind, who dares to underestimate it?

During his three years in Xiangyang, Wang Xiao hunted south and north and fought against the Jin army. He was never defeated, and his reputation in the north was extremely prosperous.In the East Road area, even Shenshan, a small county in the mountains, knows Wang Jieshuai who is thousands of miles away.

Everything was supposed to be going well.Unexpectedly, a slave in Lu Yan's family went to Jinzhou to inform him because he was greedy for wealth and honor.The Jin army sent more than 100 troops to attack the city, killed Lu Yan's family, and occupied Shenshan County.

Jiang Min is not in the city.He chose a flat land on the bank of Dishui at the foot of Yangjiao Mountain, twenty miles away from the county seat, as his base.After receiving the news that the Jin army was attacking the city, Jiang Min led people to counterattack overnight and defeated the Jin army.

In a small county like Shenshan, the population is sparsely populated, and the county seat has no city walls.After defeating the Jin army, more than 20 people fled into the mountains, and Jiang Min led people to chase them all the way.Today is the third day, chasing into the mountains.

It was already late August.The weather in the mountains is changeable. In some places, the ground is full of fallen leaves and the trees are bare.Some places are still lush and lush, a scene that has just entered autumn.

It snowed last night, and the place facing the wind is cold and windy. I don't know when it turns to the place leeward, and it is warm like spring again.Most of Jiang Min's subordinates are from the Central Plains, and they are extremely uncomfortable with this kind of weather.

By noon, many people were out of breath and kept panting.Jiang Min had no choice but to order to rest and let everyone eat to replenish their strength.Rest for half an hour, and then continue to chase.

Sitting on a big rock, Jiang Min gnawed on pancakes and looked at the stream in front of him.After chasing for a day, I still haven't seen Jin Jun's appearance, which really makes people anxious.It is said that Jin Bing can endure hardship, and today I finally saw it.

Wang Gan came over and said: "Control, I think many people in the army can't hold on anymore."

Jiang Min was silent for a while and said: "If you can't hold on, you still have to chase. ——At night, if someone really can't hold on, then send someone to stay and gather them, and choose a place to wait. When we return to the teacher , go back together."

Wang Gan hesitated, and said: "Controlling, when we lead troops to fight, we are most afraid of dividing our troops. Some people can't hold on to them, and others will see them, and they can't pursue them. In my opinion, we should not care about life and death. You must follow the army to pursue the Jin army. Or the whole army will return and stop chasing. Dividing the army here is not good for the army's morale."

Jiang Min said in a deep voice: "The army is moving in a hurry, and it's normal for some people to be unable to keep up. Forcing them is not only bad for their health, but also slows down the speed of the entire army. It is the right time to divide the troops at the right time and gather them with special personnel. If this disturbs the morale of the army, it means that there is a problem with the morale of the army. We are here to go deep into the enemy's rear and fight the Jurchens in the enemy's territory. Such an army is unusual, and the morale of the army must be stable! If this Sometimes, some people are greedy for pleasure and deliberately don't leave. Hmph—"

Jiang Min didn't continue, but his eyes suddenly became sharper.

Wang Gan couldn't help but tremble in his heart, he didn't dare to say any more, he said yes.
