Chapter 180 Jin, Meng'an Mouke
Who? Who else took advantage of the situation and participated in the battle of Yumen Pass?

A series of murderous glances were directed at Lai Huer at the same time.

Of course, this murderous intent was definitely not directed at the general who had survived a life-and-death experience.

They rushed towards the enemy who attacked.

Needless to say, the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty.

But the other forces or countries that took advantage of the situation are undoubtedly more hated.

Of course, the people in the field are all military generals.

Naturally, he had some understanding of the basic terrain and surrounding conditions of the Sui Dynasty.

After confirming that other countries had intervened, several people had already made some estimates in their minds.

To the northwest of the Sui Dynasty, there were mainly three countries.

Needless to say, the Mongols had long become the main threat to the northwest of the Sui Dynasty.

On the left and right sides of the Mongols, there are two other countries.

On the left is the Song Dynasty in the west.

On the east right side is the Western Turkic Khanate.

The ones who intervened in the matter of Yumen Pass must be from these two countries.

Or both countries are more or less involved.

Needless to say, the Western Turks were the northern enemy of the Sui Dynasty.

Moreover, the reason why the Turks split was mainly due to the Sui Dynasty.

There has always been a feud between the two sides.

Before the Mongols continued to expand and bordered the Sui Dynasty, the Eastern and Western Turks were the biggest threats to the Sui Dynasty.

As for the Song Dynasty.

Normally, no one would have the courage to participate in such a battle.

But some things often cannot be reasoned with normal logic.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty court sometimes does things that are difficult to understand.

Although up to now, Lai Huer has not said the word "Song Dynasty".

But the few people on the field are all experienced generals.

Just the introduction just now is enough to reveal many problems.

The sudden breach of Jinji Ridge was certainly due to Luo Fang and Xue Liang.

But where did the Yuan army come from? This is obviously a question.

After all, Jinjiling is close to Xiangfan in the Song Dynasty. After crossing Jinjiling from the Sui Dynasty, it is Song territory, not the Mongols.

And now the Yuan army can appear so strangely in Jinjiling.

There are only two possibilities. Either the Yuan army invaded Song territory and reached Jinjiling directly, and the Song Dynasty knew about it but did not report it. Or the Song Dynasty gave way and even directly cooperated with the Mongols.

Thinking of this, several people in the field had fire in their eyes.

You know, although Yang Lin's march this time was to guard against the Mongols, his troops stationed in Yumen, close to the Song Dynasty, also provided side support to Xiangyang.

But now, the Song Dynasty has turned around and helped the Mongols.

How can such behavior not make people hate it?

Gao Changsheng, on the other hand, did not show much emotional fluctuation.

He had already anticipated that something unexpected would happen in the Song Dynasty.

Xin Qiji took the initiative to help Nanjing and even went to meet Gao Changsheng in person.

There must be some reason behind it.

The only thing that could make Xin Qiji do this was undoubtedly the Song Dynasty behind him.

From this point alone, we can conclude that the Song Dynasty must have made some small moves in the Battle of Yumen Pass.

There is no doubt that Xin Qiji knew some inside information, or received direct orders from the Song Dynasty.

It's like trying to please someone after doing something bad.

This is also in line with the style of the Song Dynasty's fence-sitters.

However, from this point of view, the Song Dynasty should not have sent troops directly.

If we send troops directly, we will be mortal enemies with the Sui Dynasty.

Any flattery is completely useless. Even if the Emperor of Song Dynasty was a fool, Xin Qiji would understand it and would definitely not do such useless work.

And just when everyone was thinking about it.

Lai Huer's shrill voice also rang out.

And the first word he uttered was beyond many people's expectations.

"gold."

"Golden State?"

Luo Cheng couldn't help but exclaimed.

Of course the Jin Kingdom knew about this.

In real history, Liao, Jin, and Yuan were all enemies of the Song Dynasty to the north.

The Liao Dynasty conquered the Jin Dynasty and then rose to power, and the Jin Dynasty conquered the Yuan Dynasty and then rose to power. They were countries that rose one after another.

But in this world, several countries exist at the same time.

From left to right they are arranged to the north of the Song Dynasty.

When the Jin Dynasty was prosperous, it once defeated the Liao and Song Dynasties and made them unable to raise their heads.

It was the Jin Kingdom that destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, captured half of the Great Song Dynasty, and caused the Jingkang Shame.

However, with the rise and advancement of the Mongols, the Jin Dynasty slowly declined, just like real history.

Of course, it was not just the Jin Dynasty. Almost all the ethnic minority countries in the north suffered from the invasion of the Mongols.

But relatively speaking, the Jin Dynasty suffered the greatest impact.

Relatively speaking, the Liao Kingdom, which had been suppressed by the Jin Kingdom, got a chance to catch its breath during this period and showed some signs of revival.

And that's why everyone was so surprised.

It’s because the Jin and Yuan countries were mortal enemies among mortal enemies.

Most of the Jin Dynasty's original territory had fallen into the hands of the Mongols.

Given the style of the Mongol army, one can imagine what happened after these lands were captured.

It can be said that the hatred between the two countries is engraved in their bones.

And now, the Jin Dynasty would actually cooperate with the Mongols, which can be said to be extremely incredible.

Another point is that the Jin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty also did not share a border.

Looking at the map, to the north of Xiangyang in the Song Dynasty is the Mongols.

The Jin and Liao countries, from right to left, are located on the northwest side of Xiangyang.

It’s just that the Mongol Yuan Dynasty had a vast territory, extending northward and westward like a pocket, covering the Song, Jin, Liao and other countries.

Therefore, if the Jin army wanted to invade the Sui Dynasty, it had to pass through the territories of several countries.

This is obviously extremely unreasonable.

Even if Temujin could use sweet words to gain cooperation from the Jin Dynasty.

The people of the Jin Dynasty are not fools. How could they do something that has absolutely no benefits?

Although their territories are not adjacent to each other, it is still a powerful country like the Sui Dynasty.

That was completely using one's own army to benefit the Mongols.

Some people even wondered if Lai Huer's injuries were so severe that his memory was affected.

After all, from any perspective, the Jin Kingdom should not be present in this battle.

Even the Song Dynasty sending troops was more reasonable than theirs.

Just when everyone was doubting it, Lai Huer repeated it again.

"That's them."

The hatred in the voice has already shown that the Jin Kingdom did send troops, and must have played an important role, not just a formality.

"Jin Kingdom, which army is it?"

Ding Yanping spoke in a cold voice.

Compared with Luo Cheng and other young men, Ding Yanping's emotional control is undoubtedly much stronger.

"If I remember correctly, the once-powerful Iron Pagoda and Crooked Horses of the Jin Dynasty were already crippled by the Mongols in the past few years?"

"Could it be the newly rising Zhongxiao Army?"

It was the Iron Pagoda and the Crooked Horse tribes that defeated the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty.

However, he was first defeated by Yue Fei, and then encountered the rise of the Mongols.

Due to continuous wars, the two armies no longer existed.

As for the Zhongxiao Army, it is a force that appeared in the Jin Dynasty in the past two years. It is said that it is extremely powerful and even defeated the Mongols several times. However, its number is not large and it did not pose much threat to the Yuan army.

"No, it's not."

"The one who appeared in the Jin Kingdom was Meng'an Mouke!" Lai Huer said in a deep voice.

"What? Is Jin Guo crazy?"

Even Ding Yanping was instantly shocked when he heard it.

"Meng'an Mouke? What is this?" Luo Cheng looked puzzled.

"You haven't heard of Normal. This unit hasn't appeared for a long time." Ding Yanping shook his head.

"But you must have heard a saying: if there are less than 10,000 Jurchens, they are invincible if there are 10,000."

Luo Cheng and others nodded at the same time.

"This refers to the Meng'an Mouke. This unit was created by Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zonghan and others. It was the founding army of the Jin Dynasty and also the strongest army."

Ding Yanping narrowed his eyes:
"This can be said to be the greatest asset of the Jin Dynasty. It has always been guarding the capital of the Jin Dynasty. For so many years, even in the face of such great pressure from the Mongols and the continuous loss of territory, the Jin Dynasty did not use this army."

"This is also the reason why Temujin did not destroy the Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop."

"They are afraid of the Jin Kingdom's final desperate attack."

"After all, threats are the most intimidating when they are not yet revealed."

Several people nodded at the same time, but the doubts in their eyes became stronger.

The troops that had not been used during the crisis in their own country were sent to the Sui Dynasty at this time.

This can simply be described as crazy.

"what about others?"

Gao Changsheng spoke again, interrupting the shock of several people.

"There are also Western Turks and Shatuo cavalry."

Lai Huer spoke.

"Meng'an Mouke, Shatuo Iron Cavalry, plus the Qiexue Army, there are already three military soul troops."

Even Ding Yanping couldn't help but take a breath.

Military soul troops, how rare they are.

Any one of them has the ability to change the entire situation of the battle.

Like the previous Battle of Xiangyang, a Beiwei army of several thousand people had defeated the Mongols and made them unable to raise their heads.

If it weren’t for Temujin’s Keshig who were also the soul of the army, the army would only have relied on the incomplete thirteen wings.

Temujin might not be able to threaten the defense of Xiangyang city, and there was no need for Wang Yangming to help from afar.

In fact, although Kyushu is vast, countries are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

But there are actually not many countries that can truly possess military soul troops.

To a certain extent, possessing a military spirit is also a sign of being a great power.

Like Goguryeo which was destroyed before.

After destroying Silla and Baekje, in terms of land area, population size, and even military strength.

In fact, it is already no less than many countries.

But whenever Goguryeo is mentioned, many people still describe it as a small country.

One of the biggest reasons is that they have not developed their own military soul troops.

Another similar example is Liyang. Liyang has a large land area and a large number of troops, even more than Beimang.

But over the years, Li Yang's name has never been prominent and he has been suppressed by Bei Mang.

One of the reasons was certainly the chaotic domestic situation and the discontent of the kings.

But the bigger reason is this: the Zhao family of Liyang does not have its own military soul force.

Of course, compared with Goguryeo, Liyang is still much stronger.

Because there is a Beiliang in Liyang, and under the command of Xu Xiao of Beiliang, there is a large snow dragon cavalry.

In name, Beiliang is still a subordinate of Li Yang after all.

So to be precise, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry can be regarded as Li Yang's military soul unit.

But to anyone with a discerning eye, the situation in Beiliang and Liyang is something that needs no explanation.

Otherwise, Beimang would not have always ignored Liyang and only regarded Beiliang as the biggest threat.

"The three kingdoms of Yuan, Jin and Turkic, three military souls, and Temujin's thirteen wings of elite troops."

"No wonder, no wonder Yumen Pass was breached and King Kaoshan was defeated."

Luo Cheng muttered to himself.

"Do not."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lai Huer suddenly shook his head.

"The prince was not defeated at Yumen Pass."

As soon as these words fell, everyone raised their heads.

According to Lai Huer's account, Yang Lin's Sui army had been surrounded at Yumen Pass.

Why did you say again that it’s not Yumen Pass?

Lai Huer slowly raised his head.

"Your Majesty, the Shatuo cavalry of the Western Turks were spotted in the east."

"Adding the Jin army, it has been confirmed that at least three countries have joined together."

Wei Wentong stood in front of Yang Lin and reported in a deep voice.

"But we have the Jade Gate Pass, and the peerless bravery created by the nine masters of the Great Sui Dynasty. We are definitely not inferior to any opponent."

"Even if the three military souls and the three kingdoms unite, we won't know the outcome until we fight."

Wei Wentong's voice was sonorous and powerful.

But Yang Lin did not respond immediately. He just raised his head and looked quietly towards the south.

That is the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Now, under the cover of night, everything is quiet and there is no sign of chaos.

But everyone present knew that the foreign cavalry had already entered the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

The cavalry of the Mongols, Turks and even the Jin Dynasty may be galloping freely.

"This king is not prepared to defend Yumen Pass to the death."

Yang Lin suddenly spoke.

But his eyes did not move, he kept looking up into the distance.

No one knew what he was looking at, whether it was the fallen Dunhuang, the distant Daxing, or the entire Sui Dynasty.

"what?"

The two people on the field were obviously shocked by Yang Lin's words.

Temujin obviously came prepared. He secretly united the two countries, gathered three military soul units, and surrounded them here.

The other party's purpose is self-evident.

And now their biggest advantage is undoubtedly the majestic Yumen Pass.

The time, the place and the people are all right, but they only have the advantage of the place.

And Yang Lin's intention was to give up this advantage, which they certainly couldn't understand.

But Yang Lin did not answer them.

It is just irrefutable:

"I have decided that the entire army will break out, with 70,000 brave warriors as the spearhead. There is no encirclement in the world that can stop us."

"I obey your order." The two men bowed at the same time.

"Although this move is unusual, the enemy would never have guessed it."

Wei Wentong spoke in a deep voice:
"We can take advantage of the enemy's lack of foothold to catch them off guard, or even recapture Dunhuang."

"South?"

"This king is going to go north."

Yang Lin shook his head indifferently.

"why?"

Wei Wentong came to Huer and exclaimed again.

"No need to ask, this is the king's military order."

Yang Lin waved his hand decisively, interrupting the two of them.

He turned his eyes again and swept across the faces of the two men.

"Come and protect my son."

"The end will be here."

"Early tomorrow morning, I will mobilize my entire army and march out of Yumen to attack northward."

"You don't have to go with the army. I have another mission for you."

"Please, please give your orders, Your Majesty."

"With all the troops out, the enemy's attention will be on me, and there will inevitably be loopholes in the encirclement."

"You lead a group of light cavalry and break out to the south."

"Although I am here to attract attention, this trip is still a life-threatening one."

"Also, I cannot give the Xiaoguo to you. Xiaoguo is powerful, but if you take them with you, the interception you will encounter will increase tenfold, and it will be impossible to break through."

"Your Highness, I..." Lai Huer raised his head suddenly and was about to refuse, but Yang Lin's voice rang out again.

"Why, you want to disobey orders?"

"General, I obey your order."

"Very good, take this. If you can get out, you don't have to go to Daxing. Go directly to Gao Changsheng and give this to him."

"Your Majesty, do you have anything I can tell the Duke of Qi?" Lai Huer's voice had begun to tremble.

"No need, Gao Changsheng will understand."

……

"Why!"

Lai Huer's words had just fallen.

There were cries of surprise in the field.

They obviously couldn't understand Yang Lin's choice.

Only Ding Yanping suddenly lowered his head, and his hands unconsciously exerted force to tightly grasp the gun.

"brush."

It was at this moment that Gao Changsheng suddenly stood up from his seat.

All the sounds in the field disappeared in an instant, and all eyes fell on Gao Changsheng.

Since Lai Huer broke through, it was obvious that he had no idea what happened next.

"Send a message again, tell Song Que on the western front, and Li Shimin and Yang Xuangan on the southern front, that I will see them in Nanjing in two days."

"Yes."

Everyone was silent at the same time.

At this time, no one dared to raise any objection.

"General Ding."

Gao Changsheng turned and looked at Ding Yanping again.

And heard this.

This Ninth Master, who had long since retired and no longer cared about court affairs, actually bowed slightly.

"Stamp this order and send a message to Daxing."

"Prepare for war."

Gao Changsheng raised his right hand, and the royal decree stained with blood appeared before everyone.

The red blood light carried a strong murderous aura.

"Wu Jianzhang, Shi Wansui and others should be here."

"How to coordinate or where to transfer troops is not my business."

"I have only one request. The Sui army must appear on the northwest front in the shortest possible time."

"Whether the Yuan army moves or not, they must hold the Qilian Mountains in advance and prevent the Yuan army from crossing the border."

"Yes."

Ding Yanping spoke in a deep voice.

"Luo Cheng."

"The end will be here."

"Deliver this letter to King Beiping and tell your father that this is not a request, but an order." Gao Changsheng spoke coldly, without any sign of easing because of Luo Cheng.

"Yes."

"Lieutenant General Li."

"The end will be here."

"Have you heard any news about Lord Gao Tang from Hou Wei?"

"No."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Changsheng and Ding Yanping frowned almost at the same time.

According to previous news.

Yang Lin had already sent a message to Yu Juro, asking him to go to Yumen Pass for support.

But according to Lai Huer's narration, Yu Juluo never appeared in Yumen Pass from beginning to end.

And there was no news of Yu Juluo in Daxing City.

This is clearly not a normal situation.

"Everyone go down and get ready."

Gao Changsheng waved his hand and didn't ask any more questions.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The drums of war in Nanjing City continue to beat.

And the voice became more and more intense and louder.

The rumbling sound made everyone feel frightened.

And in the city of Nanjing, all the soldiers were ready for battle.

Great Sui, Northwest.

In the camp at the center of the fallen Yumen Pass.

Tiemu Zhenzhen, with a gloomy look on his face, sat high up at the top.

Almost all the generals standing beside him were injured, and some even had broken arms.

In front of them stood a man trembling all over.

"Yang Xuyan, you are really lucky. You went through such a tragic battlefield and managed to survive unscathed?"

"Why, after watching the entire battle, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Xuyan's body swayed even more violently.

His pupils twitched violently, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scene of the earth collapsing that day.
