Wanyan Yong didn't know what was going on, so he ran back with doubts and asked what was going on.

Wuyan Pu Luhun said the court urgently to Wanyan Yong with a worried look on his face. After reading it, the content of the summoning order shocked Wanyan Yong for a whole year.

"How could this happen? What happened to the Nanzheng? Hundreds of thousands of troops were actually defeated by the bandit army?"

Wanyan Yong did not collapse at that time, with a confused look on his face, and he didn't know what was going on. The two of them stared at each other for a while before they gradually came back to their senses and realized that the court was very dangerous now and they had to send troops to rescue them, otherwise the Jin Dynasty's central government would have to take the Liberation Army into a pot.

If the imperial court gives people a slaughter, what is the difference between it and the destruction of a country?

No, that is the destruction of the country!

At that time, Wuyan Pu Luhun's illness had not yet recovered, so he appointed Wanyan Yong to lead his troops back to the rescue. Wanyan Yong took the order and rectified 20,000 troops to prepare for quick action, but it was still one step slower.

Wanyan Yong's army had just finished rectifying the food and fodder, and before he could even go out, he got news of the fall of Yuguan.

The two of them were really scared now.

I didn't pay attention to it in the past because Liaodong and Yanyun were both territory of the Jin Kingdom and there was no risk of being cut off by others, so Yuguan, which exists as a throat, is indeed not easily valued.

But now the situation is different. Yanyun is in danger and Liaodong will also face danger. The importance of Yuguan, which is an important breakthrough point at the junction of the two, suddenly becomes extremely prominent.

On one side are mountains and on the other side are the sea. The narrow section of the road in the middle is the lifeblood of the army's advance. Yu Pass is located in it, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Without this Pass, you can either take a mountain road or a water road, and you can't think of it by land.

Let alone the waterway. The Restoration Army destroyed the Jin army's naval army. The Jin army had no naval army, no warships and ships, and they could not go through the waterway at all.

Mountain roads are not good either. Once the number of large soldiers is large, it is very inconvenient to attack Yanyun around the mountain road or the grassland. The road is long and the logistics cannot keep up. It is okay to fight the autumn wind, but it is difficult to fight for a long time, cannot stop, and cannot achieve a strategic offensive.

So no matter what, you must go to Yuguan. If you don’t go to Yuguan, you will not be able to use more troops to compete with the Restoration Army for Yanyun.

Taking a step back, even if the Liberation Army is powerful and awesome, Yan Yun is taken away, Yuguan cannot be lost.

Without Yuguan, the Jin army could not attack Yanyun with a large army. Without Yuguan, the Liberation Army could not develop its power to Liaodong smoothly. With Yuguan in hand, Liaodong was at least safe.

So the two immediately reached a consensus that even if Yan Yun could not save him, they had to launch troops to attack Yuguan and take Yuguan back.

Wuyanpu Luhun immediately arranged a strategy.

"You lead the troops to attack Yuguan first, and strive to be able to fight. It doesn't matter if you can't fight for the time being. I will lead the troops and then support it. In short, you cannot let the bandit army gain a foothold in Yuguan. You must take Yuguan back no matter what!"

"I know!"

Wanyan Yong had a tight face and looked extremely solemn.

The critical moment of life and death is coming.

On February 19, Wanyan Yong led 20,000 troops to marches all the way to Laibin County, Zongzhou. It was February 23, and then he discovered that Haiyang County in Zongzhou had been occupied by the Liberation Army.

The Restoration Army is stepping up the construction of Haiyang City Wall, laying out defenses, and setting up important defensive fulcrums.

Wanyan Yong secretly shouted something wrong, so he set up camp here and sent troops forward to observe the city defense.

After occupying Yuguan, Su Jue expanded his living space everywhere, not only went west, but also continued to move forward east, and captured Haiyang County as the defensive outpost of Yuguan.

At the same time, along the way, Su Jue observed the narrow and long terrain of this area along the way, and also the situation of being close to the mountains and facing the sea. He suddenly felt that this place was a very excellent military location.

While being happy, Su Jue felt a little dissatisfied, so he said to his deputy general Lu Tang: "I asked Alang what was the east end of the Great Wall before. Alang told me that it was in the Goryeo land, and he also said that the Great Wall was built into the sea of ​​Goryeo.

Now I see that the terrain here is surrounded by mountains and sea, which is an excellent defensive terrain. If there is only one Yuguan, it is a bit unstable. If you can build a Great Wall along the mountains and build it all the way to the sea, it will be enough to make the Liaodong Jin thieves sigh at the city and never dare to cross it again."

Lu Tang nodded in agreement.

"What the general said is reasonable. The terrain here is indeed very suitable for building a pass city and building several great walls at that time. If the Jin thieves want to attack Yanyun, they will either take mountain roads or water roads. Anyway, they will not want to walk on the spacious avenue."

Su Jue laughed loudly.

However, there is no Great Wall to use here, so Haiyang County can only be used as a front post to defend Yuguan, so Su Jue handed over the task of guarding Haiyang County to Lu Tang.

So according to Su Jue's plan, two defense lines were established along the Yanshan Mountains and the sea. From Haiyang County to Yuguanguan City, the two defense lines were enough to cope with the attack of the Liaodong Jin army.

If they really would come.

On February 24, Lu Tang learned the latest information and knew that a group of Jin troops had approached Haiyang County. He immediately led people to the east of the city to observe the situation of the Jin army himself.

When he found that the number of Jin soldiers approaching was large, he immediately sent someone to tell Su Jue about this matter and asked Su Jue to prepare early.

On February 25, the Jin army began to tentatively attack Haiyang County, and the offensive and defensive battle in Haiyang County began.

Lu Tang led more than 4,000 Liberation Army to defend the county. With the support of sufficient food and guarding weapons, he launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle with the Jin army. Even for six days, Wanyan Yong did not get a advantage.

When Wanyan Yong attacked Haiyang County, he also sent people to explore the way forward. When he learned that the Restoration Army in Yuguan was very strict, he felt a headache.

But he had to launch a quick attack in order to retake Yuguan as soon as possible.

On the one hand, I thought that if I had time, I could go and save Zhongdu.

On the other hand, it's...

Wanyan Yong only said to his uncle Li Shi, who was following him as a counselor.

"I don't know if Zhongdu is still possible to save it. If it doesn't work, in the worst case, Zhongdu's entire army will be wiped out and Yan Yun cannot be reinvented by me. Then I must take Yuguan and take it down no matter what.

It is March now, and the water volume of Yushui is not abundant. If it is delayed for a long time, in summer, the water volume of Yushui will increase sharply, and Yuguan will be even more difficult to overcome. We don’t have much time, and at most two months, we must win Yuguan!”

As time went by and the Liberation Army seized Yuguan, Wanyan Yong concluded that the other party had masters planned the action and had already made plans for the Jin army to enter Yanyun to rescue Zhongdu from Yuguan.

In this case, even if Yuguan is taken, it is likely that he will not be able to gain a foothold in Yanyun.

Zhongdu is in trouble, and the destruction of the central hub of the Jin Kingdom is right in front of you.

But no matter what, Yuguan has changed from an enterprising route to a safety valve. If you cannot master Yuguan, the Restoration Army can enter Liaodong at any time to show off, and he will shrink his hands and feet.

Li Shi followed Wanyan Yong to investigate the tightly guarded Yuguan. After watching for a while, he suddenly had some idea.

"We have never thought about the great power of the thief army, but Wulu, did you think that this is not just a crisis, but also an opportunity for you."

"opportunity?"
