[Text] Chapter [-] The Spy

------------

The palaces here are beautifully built. Although they are not as majestic as Shangjing or Yanjing palaces, they have a different kind of elegance.

However, due to years of fighting, this place has basically been abandoned, the palace is full of weeds, and the utensils in the palace also look a little old.There should have been a large number of palace people here, but now there are very few.

Yelu Dashi, Wanyan Zongwang and others are well-informed, and they have seen many similar palaces, so they don't think there is anything special here.On the other hand, the two brothers from the Mongolian Kelei tribe stood there blankly at the moment, admiring the beautiful scenery here.The two brothers were even imagining what kind of enjoyment it would be if they could live in such a palace.

Seeing the sluggish appearance of the two brothers, Yelu Dashi, Wanyan Zongwang and others couldn't help laughing.

"This is really a good place! We are on the Mongolian grasslands, and we can only live in yurts, and we can't live in such a place." Gaitar murmured.

"Is this 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 asked in surprise.

"In Bianliang City, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, he spent 20 years with all the power of the world, and made a big effort to build a Genyue next to Bianliang City. The palace there is the ultimate in the world. In addition to the well-built palace itself, the interior layout 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 more than half of the famous tombs in the world, and took out all the treasures inside. Hehe, you will definitely miss it when you get there." Yan Zongwang said while smiling.

What Wanyan Zongwang said was not a lie. Song Huizong also dug up all the famous tombs in the world while he was engaged in Huashigang, for the sake of all kinds of cultural relics and treasures inside, and for the purpose of building the perfection in his heart. Gen Yue in the world.Later, when the Jin soldiers captured Bianliang, Genyue was also destroyed, and the treasures in Genyue were either destroyed or transported to the north. In addition to these vulgar objects, the number of court ladies in Genyue also reached 2. , All of them are stunning in the world, and all of them were transported to the northern Kingdom of Jin, where they became the playthings of the Jin people.

The two Mongolian brothers stood there blankly, imagining what a beautiful scene it would be.After a while, Getar suddenly said: "Could it be that the emperor of the Han people is crazy? Why does he use all the power of the world to do this? Doesn't he know how weak Song Bing is? He has such strength and strength. wealth, why not build an army?"

Wanyan Zongwang laughed loudly, and said: "The emperor of the Han people is completely confused, that's why the country of the Han people is getting weaker and weaker!"

Yelu Dashi, Guo Yaoshi and others also laughed. Wanyan Zong looked down on these Liao generals, feeling disdainful in his heart. He looked down on the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and he also looked down on the emperor of the Liao Kingdom.Although Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Kingdom did not engage in Huashigang, his stupidity was 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 to hunt. He didn't have the slightest idea or thought about military and state affairs. Such an emperor is also a king of subjugation.

"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, and everyone walked outside, Yelu Dashi walked asked.

"We have an army of hundreds of thousands. This kind of war is not difficult at all. Just press it up! It's just going to Yanjing from here. There are many hills and peaks along the way. Be careful in those places Some." Wanyan Zongwang thought for a while and said.

"Hills and mountains? Those places are not good for us cavalry to fight?" Yelu Dashi frowned and said.

He has been thinking about this question these days. If Liangshan came to those hills and peaks, the advantage of their cavalry would be greatly reduced. On the contrary, Liangshan's army is all infantry. Such a battle is extremely beneficial to Liangshan's army.

"It's not good for the cavalry to fight, 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 so far. I think their main force should be in Yanjing City?" Yan Zongwang said.

"What the second prince said makes sense." Yelu Dashi nodded and said.

He said so, but he felt that the Liangshan army might not be in Yanjing City. He had a faint feeling 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! Starting today, all armies will send a large number of spies, and then pass all the news to me." Wanyan Zongwang said.

After several people returned to the army, they did not take the army away immediately, but 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 investigate the situation ahead.

In the Xixia Army where Shi Xiu was, his boss Li Da was in a very bad mood because he was assigned to a reconnaissance mission.

At this moment, he was a little sad when he was riding on the horse, but Shi Xiu, who followed Li Da, was in a better mood at the 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. Now that it is all right, it is time to go out.

"Why are you still smiling, kid?" Seeing Shi Xiu's happy expression, Li Da snorted coldly.

"General, staying in the army these days is really boring. Now I can go out for a walk, I think it's good." Shi Xiu laughed.

"What do you know? We're not going out for a walk, we're going to the front to be spies! This is an extremely dangerous mission. If we encounter enemies in front, we may not be able to come back!" Li Da said in a gloomy tone.

"Don't worry, general. We are all riding on horses. As long as we see the enemy from a distance, we will turn around and leave immediately. It is impossible for the enemy to catch up with us." Shi Xiu said.

"That's the only way to go! Damn, I really don't want to give my life to the Khitan people!" Li Da said a little indignantly.

Their team changed from whole to zero, and they galloped forward.After walking for more than a hundred miles, there was no trace of Liangshan's army.Shi Xiu wasn't anxious either. This was still a grassland area, far away from Yanjing, and it was impossible for Liangshan's army to show up here.

After walking for a few more days, although they did not encounter the Liangshan army, they encountered many deserters from the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. These deserters kept bringing some bad news, including Shunzhou, Ruzhou, and Tanzhou. There was news that other lands were constantly being conquered, and some soldiers even said that the emperor of Daliao had been captured, but the soldiers were not very sure about this news.

With all these news, the soldiers of the Liao army became more and more impatient, and gradually the soldiers of the Liao army ran to the forefront, 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 Mongols' team is slightly better, and the Jurchen's team is extremely neat. Their team gives people a feeling of overwhelming mountains. With a majestic momentum, although they followed at the end, they brought the most 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 is the Jurchen's scout soldier. On this day, he and several Xixia soldiers went forward and entered the high mountain ahead.According to his guess, this place should belong to Qilaotu Mountain, and further south is Nulu Erhu Mountain. These are the words of the Khitan people, and there are no specific names for these two mountains in Chinese.After passing through these two mountains, further south, there is the Yanshan Mountains.

The mountains and forests in summer are lush and green, and the roads in the mountains are not easy to walk. There are branches blocking the way everywhere. Sometimes they have to get off their horses and split the branches in front of them with a knife before they can move on.

Xixia soldiers cursed one by one. After walking for dozens of miles, everyone didn't want to go any further, so they jumped off their horses, squatted on the ground and began to rest.Someone has found a slightly dry place and is lying there, looking comfortable.

"Li Xiu, why are you still on the horse?" The leading corporal asked in surprise when he saw that Shi Xiu hadn't dismounted.

Li Xiu is Shi Xiu's pseudonym. "Li" is the most common surname in Xixia. According to legend, this is the surname bestowed on Xixia people by the former emperor of Tang Dynasty.In addition to the surname Li of the Xixia royal family, many ordinary people in Xixia also have the surname Li.

"There seems to be a wild deer in front, I'll go ahead and have a look." Shi Xiu said.

"Oh? There are wild deer?" The corporal suddenly became excited.

"I'm going to catch that wild deer, and we'll also have a tooth-beating ceremony, you wait here for me." Shi Xiu laughed.
