    The surrender of Wanyan Ling and Wanyan Feng undoubtedly gave Xia Bolong a reassurance.  In today's Dragon Empire, the three armies under the command of Han Shizhong launched a fierce attack on Dading Mansion. The newly succeeded left wing marshal Wanyan Loushi was forced to break out and fled north to Linhuang Mansion.

    Han Shizhong did not stop and responded quickly. He ordered Zhang Jun and Li Liangfu to lead their troops eastward to attack Liaoyang Mansion, while he himself led the army to pursue Wanyan Lou's house and attack Linhuang Mansion. In this way, the Long Army was like a  Like pliers, they surrounded Ning Mansion, the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom.

    The Jin army first failed in a fierce battle in the northwest, and more than 300,000 elite troops were exhausted. Then they mistakenly focused on defending the Song army, causing more than 200,000 soldiers to gather on the Yanjing line, leaving all the troops outside the Great Wall.  There are only a few hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Dajin territory.  In addition, the foundation of the newly occupied Liao Kingdom's homeland was not stable, and such an attack by the Dragon Empire triggered a civil uprising. Many old officials of the Liao Kingdom raised troops to respond to the call of Yelu Dashi, the Prime Minister of the Dragon Empire.  The Kingdom of Jin, which was once glorious for a while, was already riddled with holes. Except for the homeland of the Jurchens, which had a deep foundation, all other places were lost.

    Just as the Jin army outside the Great Wall was fighting hard with the Dragon Empire's army, Marshal Wanyan Zonghan, who was guarding the Yanjing area, was also besieged by hundreds of thousands of Song troops. After more than a month of hard fighting, Wanyan Zonghan was forced to withdraw from Yanjing.  Beijing, led the remnants of more than 20,000 people to flee eastward.

    The Spring Festival of 1129 was different. The entire northern land was filled with a serious smell of gunpowder. On New Year's Eve, Xia Bolong and his men stayed in the small Yuguan City. He did not go to occupy Lulong, Funing, and Qian'an.  , Changli and other places, but chose to stick to Yuguan City.  Because he knew that even if he occupied it, it would be returned to the Song Dynasty, and if Wanyan Zonghan wanted to retreat, this was the only way to pass.

    Ancient wars did have their drawbacks, that is, the transmission of messages was not very fast, and troops could not be commanded remotely. This is also the difference between ancient wars and modern information-based wars.  For Xia Bolong, this time was very beneficial because he intercepted Wanyan Zonghan's letters from Yanjing City to Huining Mansion, and bribed the messengers to deliver the message for him, telling Wanyan Zonghan about Yuguan  There are tens of thousands of Jin troops in the city, which can resist the Song army's attack and can respond to Wanyan Zonghan.

    On the first day of the first lunar month, there was no trace of the New Year in the whole New Year. Yuguan City was very small and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses could not be accommodated in the garrison. Xia Bolong could only station his troops in the east of Yuguan City to reduce the crowding of soldiers.

    In the hunting wind, the banner of the Kingdom of Jin was still fluttering on Yuguan City. Xia Bolong stood on the tower, looking at the snow-covered wilderness in front of the pass, but felt melancholy in his heart.  The front of the pass is about to become the land of the Song Dynasty, and the back of the pass is the Dragon Empire. This small Yuguan has become the watershed between the two great countries.

    "Your Majesty!"

    A loud voice came from behind Xia Bolong. He did not turn around. When he heard the voice, he already knew who it was. He immediately said calmly: "Are you here?"

    "As soon as I received your Majesty's order, I hurried here. Your Majesty summoned me so urgently, did you have something important to give me?" The person who spoke was Wan Yanling. He lowered his head and clasped his fists, saying very humbly.

    Xia Bolong nodded and said: "I promised you that I would rescue Wanyan Zonghan. I just received a report that Wanyan Zonghan escaped from Yanjing and has arrived in Yuyang, but he is still followed by the Yue Family Army. You also know  , I have signed an alliance with the Song Dynasty, and I cannot rescue it as the Dragon Empire. Therefore, I am going to let you and Wan Yanfeng go. You take your old troops to tell the story of Wan Yan Zonghan being rescued here. What happens after that?  Leave it to me."

    Wan Yanling immediately thanked him and said, "I obey your order, thank you for your kindness!"

    "Well, go ahead and leave now. Together with Wanyan Feng, we will rescue Wanyan Zonghan and bring him here. I will not embarrass him. If he is willing to surrender, I will surrender. If he is not willing to surrender, I will let him go back to Huining Mansion.  The Yue Family Army is really powerful, you must not be too eager to fight, lest you get entangled with it," Xia Bolong said.

    Wanyan Ling said: "I understand that I and Wanyan Feng can only bring three thousand light cavalry. We will return immediately after rescuing Wanyan Zonghan."

    "Well, don't let Wanyan Zonghan know that Yuguan City has been occupied by the Dragon Empire. I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it for a while and will commit suicide!" Xia Bolong said.

    Wan Yanling said: "I understand, I will resign!"

    After finishing his words, Wanyan Ling turned around and climbed down the city wall. After gathering three thousand Qingqi at the barracks, he and Wanyan Feng left Yuguan City and headed west quickly.

    Xia Bolong stood on the city tower, watching Wanyan Peak and Wanyan Ling leave, and said to himself: "I hope Wanyan Zonghan can arrive smoothly and subdue these Jurchens, which will be of great benefit to the development of our Dragon Empire."

    Liu Chengzong walked up from the tower, came to Xia Bolong's side, and said: "Your Majesty! The general is reporting urgently!"

    Xia BolongliQuan, let him lead troops into the city to appease the people.  Wanyan Zonghan is a formidable enemy, we can't let him run away, chase him!  "

    As soon as the words fell, Yue Fei led the five thousand cavalry at the front of the Yue Family Army and quickly chased them out.

    Wanyan Zonghan led the remaining troops to retreat eastward, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind. They ran quickly for a distance. When he looked back, he felt that his troops were getting fewer and fewer. He couldn't care less at the moment.  If you have more, you can take away as much as you can.

    In the evening, Wanyan Zonghan's 20,000 remnant army only had 6,000 cavalry on horseback. The infantry had long been left far behind, waiting for them to either surrender or be captured.  kill.

    "Stop!" Wanyan Zonghan reined in his seat and dismounted, shouting loudly from behind, "I've been running for a day, let's rest first. The horse is tired as well as the man."

    So, six thousand cavalrymen dismounted one after another, taking advantage of the darkening sky to hide behind a hillside.  They did not dare to light a fire, fearing that the light would attract the attention of Yue Jiajun.

    Not long after everyone sat down, they heard a chaotic sound of horse hooves running quickly from the front. The sound was getting closer and closer, which shocked everyone's heart: "Could it be that the Yue Family Army has surrounded them?"  ?¡±

    "The whole army is on horseback, ready to fight!" Wanyan Zonghan immediately got on his horse and responded quickly!

    Six thousand cavalrymen mounted their horses almost at the same time, holding cold weapons in their cold hands, but there was a trace of despair in their eyes.

    At this moment, a scout ran over, with a face full of joy, and came to Wanyan Zonghan. He immediately reported: "Marshal, he is one of our own, soldiers and horses of Wanyan Peak in Pingzhou, and Wanyan Ling."

    Wanyan Zonghan's face was full of joy. As soon as the scout finished speaking, he heard Wanyan Feng and Wanyan Ling running over with three thousand cavalry, shouting loudly: "Marshal! Marshal!"

    Wanyan Zonghan was very happy and rode his horse to meet them. When he saw Wanyan Feng and Wanyan Ling, he hurriedly asked: "Why are you here?"

    Wan Yanling said: "My two brothers heard that the marshal was breaking out, so they hurriedly brought their light cavalry to meet the marshal. Marshal, please follow the general. Thousands of horses have been prepared over there. Please change your horse quickly and retreat."  Go to Yuguan!"

    "Okay! You guys came just in time!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

    After the order was issued, Wanyan Zonghan's remaining 6,000 men transferred to the horses brought by Wanyan Ling and Wanyan Feng, and followed Wanyan Feng and Wanyan Ling to rush to Yuguan non-stop.

    Yue Fei was chasing after him. When he led his troops in pursuit for a long time, he suddenly spotted thousands of war horses behind a hillside. He immediately knew what had happened and looked back at the overworked soldiers.  Then he ordered to stop and said: "The whole army rests where it is. It seems that Wanyan Zonghan will not be captured this time!"

    "Generalissimo, can this be the end of it?" Niu Gao asked.

    Yue Fei said: "Wanyan Zonghan was assisted by someone and changed to a war horse. Our army went deep alone. The crazy pursuit has reached its limit. There are tens of thousands of Wanyan Feng's troops in Pingzhou ahead, so we can't rush in easily. You follow me.  Let Shuai rest in a nearby village and wait for reinforcements before advancing in force!"

    So, Yue Fei led the Yue Family Army to find a village nearby. When the villagers heard that Yue Fei's Yue Family Army had arrived, they were all overjoyed, and the Yue Family Army settled in the village.

    Wanyan Ling and Wanyan Feng took Wanyan Zonghan and nine thousand soldiers and walked forward non-stop, stopping and going. It took them two days to finally reach Yuguan.
