Chapter 198 The road to life is under your feet, and the light is ahead (6k)

The Ever-Victorious Army and the Jin Army were strong in combat, but the Song Dynasty had left a large number of troops stationed in Hebei. Although he could not defeat two powerful armies in the wild, he could rely on the strong city for defense.

On December 14, Olibu sent troops south from Yanjing. They were resisted by the defenders in Baozhou, Dingzhou and other places, so he decisively took a detour and continued southward, switching from a surface attack to a line attack.

The number of defenders in Hebei who surrendered was mixed, and battle reports from various prefectures poured into Tokyo like snowflakes, but Zhao Ji and his court officials could not think of a good solution.

December 18th, dusk.

Zhao Ji ended the court meeting for the day, and the ministers left the Wende Hall in a line, but his favorite minister Cai You deliberately stayed behind.

Cai You worked in the Privy Council, which was equivalent to the Ministry of National Defense in later generations. There was no shortage of knowledgeable military talents among them. Recently, he passed by and discussed the situation with his subordinates. He thought the analysis made sense, so he deliberately stayed behind to offer advice.

After the ministers slowly finished walking, he followed them to the small hall at the back of the palace with small steps, and reported to Huizong in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the emergency reports from Hebei are piled up in the Privy Council. Although soldiers from many places are fighting hard, there is no favorable terrain to stop the enemy. If Wulie doesn't bypass the cities that cannot be conquered and goes all the way south to drink from the Yellow River, then Tokyo will be in danger. You must make plans early."

"Bypass?"

After listening to the analysis for a few days, Huizong went from being a layman to knowing a little about military affairs. He then asked Cai You, "The Art of War says, 'Before the troops move, the food and fodder must be sent first.' The battle line along Hebei is so long, and Oliburu frequently bypasses the city. What will his soldiers eat? Will they drink from the Yellow River and march to Tokyo? It's too early to say!"

"Your Majesty, the Jurchens are different from us. They are horse-riding peoples who are good at fighting to support the war. Hebei is vast and populous, and there are too many places for the Jin soldiers to resupply."

"hiss"

Before Cai You finished speaking, Song Huizong felt a chill on his back. He immediately perked up and asked excitedly, "Since you have come to offer advice, do you have a good plan?"

"The Jin army will definitely come to Tokyo. I suggest that you call on all the soldiers in the country to come to the king. But Your Majesty should leave the capital first to avoid the attack. Once you defeat the Jin army or successfully seek peace, it will not be too late to come back to govern the country."

Cai You lowered his head after he finished speaking, fearing that Huizong would be angry and scold him. However, Huizong became interested at this time and asked, "You really have a good plan, but the world is so big, where can I move to?"

"Guanzhong is strategically located, and the most capable Western Army is also nearby. Moving to Chang'an is one option. The next option is to go to Jiangnan. The Jin people are a horse-riding people and are not good at naval battles. There is the Yangtze River as a natural barrier."

"But there is Fang La in Jiangnan."

"Fang La has been worn down by Song Jiang. Although Liu Yanqing and Zhang Shuye failed to complete the mission, they also successfully recaptured Suzhou. Your Majesty can temporarily move to Runzhou (Zhenjiang), where you can retreat to the north of the Yangtze River at any time, and it can also boost the morale of the soldiers on the front line. The most important thing is that Jiangnan is richer than Guanzhong."

"Let me think about it."

Zhao Ji was a man who loved to enjoy himself. He thought that most of his close ministers seemed to come from all over the south of the Yangtze River, so he finally decided to sneak away to Runzhou to avoid disaster.

While his ministers were still fighting, the emperor was ready to escape.

This is obviously not a glorious thing, and he cannot just walk away. Careful arrangements need to be made before leaving.

First, we need to find a reasonable excuse. Secondly, Tokyo needs to keep people to give orders. Finally, Jiangnan needs to arrange personnel in advance.

The three things were arranged from difficult to easy. Huizong, according to Cai You's suggestion, "demoted" his brother, Minister of Rites Cai Huo, to the position of governor of Runzhou, paving the way for the emperor's trip to the south in advance.

Secondly, he arranged for the governor of Tokyo to stay behind. Historically, when the emperor led the army in person, he would leave the crown prince to govern the country and handle government affairs. Huizong wanted to escape but did not want to hand over power, so on December 20th, he appointed crown prince Zhao Heng as the governor of Kaifeng (this position was not permanent, and only Taizong and Zhenzong had held this position before they succeeded each other as emperors).

The most difficult thing was to find an excuse to leave the capital. Huizong could not ask outsiders for advice explicitly, and his confidants such as Cai You could not come up with any solutions. He could only ask court officials for solutions in a tactful way. Later, based on Yuwen Xu Zhong's suggestion, he issued the "Edict of Confession of Sins" expressing his intention to eliminate malpractices and summon troops from various towns to the capital to defend the king.

The deployment before the escape was one link after another.

However, there were smart people in the court. They told Zhao Heng that it was not legitimate to be the governor of Kaifeng. The Imperial Censor Wu Min made a remonstrance to him on the same day, and the Junior Minister of Rites Li Gang wrote a memorial in blood the next day, demanding that if Huizong wanted the crown prince to guard Tokyo, he must abdicate the throne to the crown prince.

At that time, Tong Guan had returned to Beijing for many days, but he did not dare to report the declaration of war and the proclamation of war from the Jin Kingdom. It was not until Huizong issued the "Edict of Confession of Sins" that Prime Minister Li Bangyan presented it to the emperor in person.

After reading the declaration of war and the manifesto, Huizong realized how serious the situation was. He then agreed to the suggestions of Wu Min and Li Gang and formally abdicated the throne to Crown Prince Zhao Heng, who became Emperor Qinzong.

This father and son who lost their country were not kind to each other.

At least from Qinzong's perspective, Huizong gave him too much pressure and injustice, and after he came to power he was faced with Huizong's restoration.

The father and son then engaged in a fierce internal struggle, which also accelerated the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, because of Yang Chang, there are too many variables in this era.

We will leave Huizong's abdication and his escape plans aside for now.

The conversation continued to the Hedong area where Yang Chang was.

On December 27, Lou Shi, a general under Nianhan, led 60,000 Jin soldiers out of Shiling Pass and headed straight for Taiyuan, an important town in Hedong.

Before this, on his way back to Tokyo from Taiyuan, Tong Guan sent someone to ask the Privy Council to dispatch the Western Army to assist in the defense of Hedong. Zhe Keqiu and Liu Guangshi were the first to respond.

Zhe Keqiu sent troops from Linzhou, which borders Western Xia. Because Liu Guangshi's 40,000 troops did not arrive in time, he fought a fierce battle with Lou Shi in Jiaocheng County, Taiyuan Prefecture. In the end, he was defeated by Lou Shi and almost his entire army was wiped out.

Liu Guangshi sent troops from Yan'an Prefecture, and the journey was much longer than Zhe Keqiu's. After crossing mountains and rivers, he just arrived in Xizhou when he received the news of Zhe Keqiu's defeat.

Seeing that he was alone and outnumbered by the Jin army, Liu Guangshi had no choice but to retreat to Yan'an.

Liu Guangshi inherited Liu Yanqing's Western Army after his father was demoted. He was promoted to Chengxuanshi because of his military achievements and served as the deputy general manager of the cavalry and infantry army of Yan'an Prefecture. He was reluctant to use the soldiers he had trained as cannon fodder.

Soon after, Huizong issued an edict to assist the emperor, and Liu Guangshi returned to Beijing with the Zhong and Yao armies.

The reinforcements around Taiyuan were eliminated one by one, leaving only Sun Yi's 3,000 men who withdrew from Shuozhou.

In the first half of the year, Tong Guan took back Shuozhou. The court appointed Sun Yi, the Right Military Official and the Inspector of Xiangzhou, as the Governor of Shuoning Prefecture. However, he lost the city due to the rebellion of the Yisheng Army. He then gathered the remnants along the way and fled to Taiyuan.

Since Tong Guan left Taiyuan, news continued to come from the north that the Yisheng Army had rebelled and the garrisons of various states had abandoned their cities and surrendered.

Later, Sun Yi led his troops to the city. Zhang Xiaochun was worried that Sun Yi had surrendered to the Jin army and was trying to take over the city, so he refused to let him in despite his repeated pleas.

Jin general Lou Shi surrounded Yangqu with a large army, making it impossible for Taiyuan's only reinforcement to advance or retreat. Sun Yi could only lead his troops in a bloody battle with the Jin army for five days under the city in front of the Taiyuan defenders. All 3,000 soldiers were killed in the battle and no one survived.

Zhang Xiaochun had no choice. He had learned too many lessons before and he didn't dare to gamble with Taiyuan. In the end, he had to hold on alone.

After besieging Loushi for several days, they saw that the defenders were sufficient and tenacious, so they began to clean up the surrounding towns and waited for Marshal Nianhan to come and take charge.

This kind of cleanup mainly involved plundering food from the people and capturing men to serve as laborers in the army. When food was scarce, these men could also be eaten.

The Jurchens' tactics came from hunting, and they also learned the techniques of hunting in groups of wild beasts. They were not bound by ethics and morals like the Song army, so they fought more freely, which was very much like the law of the jungle.

The Jin army looted Taiyuan on a large scale, intending to turn the capital Yangqu into an isolated city.

As a result, the surrounding people fled to Pingzhou, Qinzhou and Fenzhou in the south in the cold winter, carrying their elderly and children.

Yang Chang was well-known for his benevolence at this time, and Qinzhou attracted tens of thousands of refugees from Taigu and Qixian, which put pressure on Qinzhou's finances and security.

The grain stored in Qinzhou over the past two years was intended for use in subsequent resistance against the Jin army and rebellion. However, most of the stored grain would be used to settle the tens of thousands of refugees who suddenly arrived.

Due to the large number of refugees, Yang Chang was worried that spies would mix in and cause chaos, so he gave up reuniting with his family for the New Year and personally stayed in Nanguan Town.

If the Gukou checkpoint is the first checkpoint, then Nanguan Town where Yang Chang is located is the second checkpoint. He has the [Eye of Insight] to enhance the "scanning" function, which can basically prevent spies from sneaking in.

It was freezing cold in the first month of the year. Hu Sanniang and Zhao Fujin stayed in Tongdi to guard Yang Huang, while Qiu Qiongying accompanied Yang Chang on his outings.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month in the first year of the Jingkang reign (Qinzong had already ascended the throne and changed the reign title), Yang Chang took a nap in the Zhenbei Watchtower due to overstraining his eyes.

Qiu Qiongying, who was helping him keep an eye on the enemy, suddenly saw a familiar figure below. It turned out to be the secretary Yang Jian who came over, and he seemed to be holding a few books in his hands.

Yang Jian rushed here from Tongdi, there must be some important matter that he could not decide.

Looking down, she saw Yang Chang sleeping soundly. Qiu Qiongying couldn't bear to wake him up and went downstairs alone.

As soon as she landed on the ground, Yang Jian came to meet her.

"Sister-in-law, is my brother here?"

"He has been watching us day and night. He just got tired and fell asleep against the wall. Uncle, is there something important here? If it's not urgent, let him sleep for a while."

"what?"

Yang Jian thought about it, scratched his head and smiled foolishly: "I'm not in a hurry."

"Uncle, wait a moment. I'll go find a stool."

"I don't want to trouble you, sister-in-law. I'll just stand there for a while."

"Why be so polite?"

The uncle and his wife were pushing and shoving each other under the tower when they suddenly heard footsteps on the floor. It turned out that Yang Chang had followed them down the tower.

The guy was sleeping soundly, but he was instantly woken up by the calls of uncle and sister-in-law coming from downstairs in the tower.

When Yang Chang first came into this world, he first heard Wu Song and Pan Jinlian call each other that way. The impression he had at that time was so deep that he had a conditioned reaction whenever he heard it.

"Brother?"

"Why is Brother Jian here? Is there something wrong?"

"Well, brother, please look at this first."

Yang Jian took the opportunity to check the account book. This was the expenditure of money and grain in the Qinzhou treasury, which he had calculated for several days and Xiao Rang had reviewed. He calculated that there was enough surplus grain to last until the summer harvest, but if the number of refugees continued to increase, the rate of consumption of stored grain would accelerate.

"That's pretty careful calculation."

Yang Chang muttered to himself as he flipped through the account book. Finally, he closed the account book and looked at Yang Jian and asked, "What decision do you want me to make by bringing this here?"

"I have consulted Brother Xiao. If the food and fodder are insufficient to cover the expenditure, there will be chaos. It is better to temporarily reject the remaining people, or send some of them to Luzhou in the south."

Yang Jian saw that Yang Chang had a serious face and his voice became lower and lower towards the end, and he was worried that he might have said something wrong.

Yang Chang held the account book with his hands behind his back, looking at the sparse figures in the wheat field in the distance, and turned to ask Yang Jian: "Do you know what they are doing?"

"what?"

Yang Jian was stunned when he heard this and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

"The wheat is overwintering, and the people who are digging for food in the fields are weeding. Have you ever worked in the fields since you and your uncle moved out of Liangshan?"

"Well, I planted rice for one season in Shijie Village, but I didn't have time after I came to Qinzhou."

"Since you've come to Qinzhou to work for me, you really don't have time to work in the fields. Are your uncle and aunt still doing farm work?"

"Well, they can't stay idle."

Hearing what Yang Jian said, Yang Chang turned around and said seriously: "People should not forget their roots, and should not forget kindness. This is what my uncle taught me, and I believe you will not forget it either."

"I am doing this for the overall situation of Qinzhou"

"I know."

Yang Chang patted him on the back and reminded him earnestly, "It is often said that he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Since we want to do great things, we should think of ways to overcome difficulties and provide a stable life for the people under our rule. As long as we are willing to work hard like your father, there is no way we can't survive. Turning people away or throwing away difficulties is not the way to achieve great things."

'I'm just worried'

"Don't worry, there are always more solutions than problems. If the government warehouses don't have enough food, we can reduce the food distribution to the refugees. We are not a charity. We need to take care of both safety and food. If you want to have enough food, learn from your father and dig in the fields yourself."

"But there is not much vacant land in the state. There are only some marginal mountainous areas or wasteland. Besides, now is not the time to plant."

Hearing Yang Jian say this, Yang Chang handed the account book back to him.

"The vacant land and wasteland that have not been distributed in the counties, or the abandoned land that the people cannot cultivate, should be directly distributed to the families first. Why should outsiders be so picky? I will send troops to work in various counties and towns, so that wealthy families or families with insufficient labor can help these Taiyuan refugees one-on-one, and let them help the government pay for their food rations."

"That's a good idea!"

"I just said that there are always better solutions than difficulties."

"Yes, yes, I'll go back to Tongdi now."

Watching Yang Jian leave happily, Yang Chang nodded to Qiu Qiongying and said meaningfully, "Let's go, sister-in-law."

"Hmm? Great."

Qiu Qiongying gave Yang Chang a pink punch, and the two climbed up the watchtower side by side.

It had been about an hour, and there were no refugees passing by in sight.

The guy stretched and yawned, then went back to the corner and closed his eyes.

"Ok?"

Qiu Qiongying remembered the nonsense this guy was talking under the tower, so she just did a "Yuan Ying spin" and sat in the man's arms.

"hiss"

Yang Chang opened his eyes in shock, held Qiu Qiongying's waist, frowned and said, "My lady, be gentle."

"I thought there was a war to fight, but I didn't expect to be a sentinel every day."

Qiu Qiongying pouted her lips, turned around, put her hands around the man's neck, and started to act coquettishly: "My dear, when you wake up, don't sleep, chat with me."

"Okay, okay, Xiaoke, besides chatting with my wife, you can do something else."

"Hey, it's broad daylight, let's talk about something serious."

As Yang Changshun climbed up the pole, Qiu Qiongying became shy and changed the subject, saying, "The master was so harsh to my uncle just now that his face turned pale."

"Brother Jian has a good character, but he has been dealing with officials for a long time and has gradually become detached from the people. As his elder brother, I must spur him on."

"Just now you told me not to forget my roots. How many government affairs has your uncle blocked for the official? It's better to be polite to him. After all, he is your only sworn brother."

"Haha, he's not called sister-in-law for nothing."

After Yang Chang finished joking, he added, "Because you are my only brother, I have to help my uncle to discipline him strictly. After all, we are going to rebel and establish our own country. We all like to charge into battle. For the time being, I only have Huang'er, so I need the help and care of the Yang family in the rear."

"That's it"

Qiu Qiongying suddenly realized, and then complained: "Huang'er is very lonely, my lord, please work harder at night, I really want to help you give birth to a son."

"I wonder if it's the wrong time. Should we try more during the day?"

"Ah? You shouldn't be here. Someone might pass by at any time."

Yang lost his sleepiness and his hands became restless, which frightened Qiu Qiongying so much that she hurriedly tried to stop him.

"It's nice here, you can see far from where you stand."

"What? Wait, there's the sound of horse hooves!"

"Hmm? It seems to be true."

Qiu Qiongying broke free and jumped to the window. Yang Chang followed closely behind her. Sure enough, he saw the sound of horse hooves in front of him. They should be scouts under Shi Jin's command.

Is there something wrong with Taniguchi?

The couple walked down the watchtower together, and the scout followed them on horseback.

"Observation, Jin soldiers are slaughtering civilians in the valley, Commander Shi, please tell us whether we should attack?"

"how many people?"

"According to the description of the refugees who just arrived, there should be only about a hundred people."

"Only a hundred people? Beat him!"

Qiu Qiongying had just finished speaking excitedly when she realized that she shouldn't say too much and immediately took half a step back.

"The troops guarding the valley entrance must not move without authorization. I will go and handle it myself."

"Yes!"

When the scouts got on their horses and left, Yang Chang patted Qiu Qiongying on the shoulder and reminded her with a smile, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and put on your armor. Your husband will take you out to have fun!"

"An? Okay."

Qiu Qiongying was stunned at first, but then she reacted and happily prepared to put on her armor.

Of the three women Yang Chang married, two had experience of accompanying the enemy alone to kill them, but Qiu Qiongying was the only one he had never met. So she strongly requested to go along this time, and she didn't expect to get the chance after only four or five days.

Soon, the couple dressed in their armor and rushed to the Gukou outpost, while Xuan Zan was ordered to stay in Nanguan Town.

In less than half an hour, Shi Jin met him in front of the sentry post.

After briefly understanding the situation, Yang Chang immediately made a decision and said, "The official road in the river valley ahead is dozens of miles long. There are many places where ambushes can be set up along the way. It is really not suitable for a large group of troops to enter. I will go with my wife."

"I have nothing else to do. I want to go with you?"

Lu Zhishen patted his chest and was eager to try, but Shi Jin was a little slow to speak, and Yang Chang saw all of this.

"Forget it. Just the two of us are enough. A hundred soldiers are no match for me. Besides, it's freezing cold now. If you walk too fast, you'll slip easily. You don't have a good horse, and your body is quite heavy."

"Okay, I'll stay and accompany Shi Dalang."

"Uh-huh"

After hearing this, Shi Jin smiled awkwardly and thought to himself, "Master, I am not that heavy. I haven't done anything since I came to Qinzhou. I really want to go."

It was noon at that time. Yang Chang bid farewell to his brothers at the outpost and entered the valley with Qiu Qiongying.

After they had walked about six or seven miles, they saw people fleeing in panic.

Yang Chang immediately stopped a man and asked, "Are the Jin soldiers ahead?"

"Yes, they are just seven or eight miles away. They are killing people at will."

Seeing the refugee's gloomy tone, Yang Chang stared at him warily and asked, "Then how did you escape?"

"If you have food and money, you can buy a cheap life. If you don't have it, you will be killed like an animal and then thrown into the river. Alas."

"These beasts!"

It was not until Qiu Qiongying came over, cursing, that the refugees saw that the two of them were fully armed. They immediately reminded them, "Are you scouts of the Qinzhou government troops? Don't go with two people."

"Haha." Yang Chang smiled lightly, pointed to the south and said, "Hurry up and go, we have our own plans."

"oh oh."

Seeing that the refugees responded timidly, Yang Chang waved his hand and Qiu Qiongying mounted their horses.

The couple was about to leave on horseback when the man suddenly called them back.

"Master Jun."

"Anything else?"

"I heard that there is a way out if we reach Qinzhou?"

"The road to life is right under your feet. Go ahead and don't look back. The light is ahead."

In order to be cautious, Yang Chang stopped people to ask questions every few steps and used modern recruitment lying techniques to confirm that the refugees were not bribed by the Jin people.

One mile away from the first target, Yang Chang saw through his [Eagle Eyes and Owl Vision] that twenty-three Jin soldiers were surrounding more than a hundred refugees and "extorting" them, while the frozen valley water nearby was already covered with the gleaming corpses of abandoned people.

"My lady, follow me and prepare for a fight. There are twenty or thirty small fish."

"it is good."

"drive."

The two white horses were racing against each other, but the Night Jade Lion was faster.

Yang Chang held a phoenix-wing gilded halberd in his hand and passed by the stream like a white rainbow.

When the two Jin soldiers on guard mounted their horses and drew their swords, one of them had his head chopped off and the other was split in half, including his horse and man.

The first move he made was ruthless.

Especially when it came to both man and horse, Yang Chang had no control over his strength at all and gave full vent to his anger.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

This group of Jin soldiers stopped the refugees from "making money" until the heads of their comrades rolled down in front of them, and then they realized that danger had come.

They had just killed the Han people like slaughtering animals, and now they were slaughtered like animals by Yang Chang and his wife, and in a moment they all fell in a pool of blood.

A Jin soldier on the periphery tried to escape, but Qiu Qiongying took out an egg-sized pebble from her cloth bag and hit him with it, causing his brains to burst out.

Qiu Qiongying took the [Promotion Bear Pill] and insisted on strength training every day. Now her strength has greatly improved and she can throw flying stones even better than in the original.

The refugees who were controlled nearby saw the two men slaughtering the Jin people like cattle and sheep, and they mistakenly thought they were gods who had descended to earth, and immediately knelt down to worship them.

"Gods, please leave your names. We will work like slaves to repay you."

"We are not gods. It is dangerous here and we should not stay here for long. You should pack up and get on the road. You will be safe when you reach Qinzhou."

After Yang Chang finished speaking, he raised his hand, walked straight to the body and began to touch it, but the refugees still insisted on asking.

"If they are not gods, we will set up a longevity tablet"

"There's nothing to hide. My husband's nickname is Guangming Tianzun."

"Alright, that's enough, let's go!"

Before Qiu Qiongying could finish her words, Yang Chang stepped forward and stopped her. He thought there was no need to explain too clearly, and they had to move forward after picking up the bodies.

The refugees were given the title of Guangming Tianzun, but when they arrived in Qinzhou they found out that it was Yang Chang's nickname. At that time, they were so happy that they could not express it in words. This is a story for later.

Qiu Qiongying supervised the refugees to leave, and Yang Chang moved quickly to pick up the corpses. The drops of these Jin soldiers and small fry were basically a combination of swords, guns, sticks, hunter experience, and inherent murderous aura.

After picking up the thirty-two bodies, Yang Chang squatted on the ground and muttered to himself: "No, why are there so few?"

Qiu Qiongying listened curiously and leaned over with a puzzled look on her face.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, wait a moment and see if there are any survivors on the ice."

The Jin soldiers only dropped 1 to 3 points of murderous aura, which was obviously inconsistent with Yang Chang's previous understanding, but he could not tell Qiu Qiongying the truth. In order to save money and not waste, he ran to the ice to pick up the bodies of ordinary people.

[Gain farmer experience, which can improve farmer skill proficiency after use. Please choose to use or discard. ]

[Gain farmer experience, which can improve farmer skill proficiency after use. Please choose to use or discard. ]

As expected, the items dropped were picked up by Yang Chang before he left. He then continued to chase the Jin army. The same scene was repeated three or four times. In total, he killed more than 200 Jin soldiers and picked up more than 400 items dropped by the victims, most of which had already exceeded the time limit.

Rushing on the road, killing people, picking up corpses.

Before I knew it, the sky darkened.

They were less than three miles away from the northern exit, and Yang Chang was still picking up corpses on the ice, while Qiu Qiongying was keeping watch for the men.

Although all the Jin soldiers in the valley were killed, there was a lookout post set up by a Jin general on the mountain near the north exit.

The information that Yang Chang and his wife had killed the Jin soldiers was soon passed back to the ears of the Jin army general outside the valley, who happened to be stationed in Pantuo Town in the north.

This person was none other than Wanyan Huonu, the son of Wanyan Loushi, the first general of the Jin Dynasty. He had joined his father in the fight against the Liao Dynasty with Aguda when he was only seventeen years old. Now he had become a veteran of the Jin army and also Loushi's most important assistant.

Upon hearing the urgent report from the front of the valley, Wanyan Huonu ordered three hundred personal guards to gallop towards the valley on horseback.
