Chapter 500 Opportunities for Wanyan Yong
Wanyan Yong didn't know what happened, and ran back with doubts to ask what was going on.

With a worried look on his face, Wuyan Puluhun showed Wanyanyong the urgent summons from the court. After reading it, the contents of the summons shocked Wanyanyong for a whole year.

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

Wanyan Yong didn't collapse at the time either. He was confused and 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 imperial court was now very dangerous and they had to use troops. Go save, otherwise the center of the Golden State will give the Restoration Army a pot.

What is the difference between the dignified court and the subjugation of a country?
No, that's subjugation!
At that time, Wuyan Puluhun's illness had not recovered, so he appointed Wanyanyong to bring troops back to aid quickly. Wanyanyong led the order and rectified [-] soldiers and horses to prepare for quick action, but the result was still a step behind.

The army led by Wanyan Yong had just finished arranging the rations, and before they were dispatched, the news of the fall of Yuguan was received there.

The two were really frightened now.

I didn't notice it in the past, because Liaodong and Yanyun are both territories of the Jin Kingdom, and there is no risk of being cut off by others, so Yuguan, which exists as a throat, is indeed not easy to be taken seriously.

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

There are mountains on one side and the sea on the other. The long and narrow road in the middle is the lifeblood of the army, and Yuguan is located in it. Don't think about it.

Not to mention the waterway, the Restoration Army destroyed the Jinjun navy, and the Jinjun had no navy, no warships and transport ships, and could not walk by water at all.

The mountain road is also not good. Once the army is large, it is very inconvenient to go around the mountain road or the grassland to attack Yanyun. The distance is long and the logistics cannot keep up.

So no matter what, you must go through Yuguan, and if you don't go through Yuguan, there will be no way to use more troops to compete for Yanyun with the Restoration Army.

Taking [-] steps back, he said that even if the Liberation Army was powerful and powerful, and Yan Yun was taken away, Yuguan could not be lost.

Without Yuguan, the Jin army could not use a large corps to attack Yanyun, and the Liberation Army would not be able to successfully develop its forces in Liaodong without Yuguan. With Yuguan in hand, Liaodong would at least be safe.

So the two immediately reached a consensus-even if Yan Yun couldn't save them, they would still have to attack Yuguan and take them back.

Uyanpuluhun immediately laid out a strategy.

"You lead your troops to attack Yuguan first, and strive to be able to defeat it. It doesn't matter if you can't defeat it temporarily. I will lead troops to support it later. All in all, you can't let the bandit army gain a firm foothold in Yuguan, and you must seize Yuguan no matter what. return!"

"I know!"

Wanyan Yong's face was tight, and his expression was extremely solemn.

The critical moment of life and death is coming.

On February 23th, Wan Yanyong led an army of [-] troops to rush all the way to Laibin County, Zongzhou. It was February [-], when they discovered that Haiyang County in Zongzhou had been occupied by the Restoration Army.

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

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

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

At the same time, going all the way, Su Jue observed the long and narrow terrain in this area, and the situation of leaning against the mountains and facing the sea, and suddenly felt that this was a very good military powerhouse.

Su Jue was delighted, but also felt a little dissatisfied, so he said to his lieutenant Lu Tang: "I asked Alang where the east end of the Great Wall is, and Alang told me that it was in the land of Goryeo, and he also said that the Great Wall was built to the sea of ​​Goryeo. inside.

Now I see that the terrain here is close to the mountains on one side and the sea on the other side. It is an excellent defensive terrain. If there is only one Yuguan, it will be slightly unstable. If you can build a Great Wall along the mountains, it will also be built into the sea. Sigh, never dare to go beyond. "

Lu Tang nodded in agreement.

"What the general said is right, the terrain here is indeed very suitable for building a wall, and then building a few Great Walls, if the golden thief wants to attack Yanyun, either take the mountain road or the water road, anyway, don't think about taking the spacious avenue. "

Su Jue laughed.

However, there is no Great Wall to use here, and Haiyang County can only be used as an outpost 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 lines of defense were established along the Yanshan Mountains and the sea. From Haiyang County to Yuguan Pass, the two lines of defense were sufficient to cope with the attack of the Jin army in Liaodong.

If they do come.

On February 24th, Lu Tang received the latest information that a Jin army was approaching Haiyang County, so he immediately took people to the east of the city to personally observe the situation of the Jin army.

When he found out that there were a lot of Jin Jun approaching, he immediately sent someone to tell Su Jue about it, so that Su Jue could make preparations early.

On February 25, the Jin Army began a tentative attack on Haiyang County, and the offensive and defensive battle for Haiyang County began.

Lu Tang led more than [-] Guangfu troops to defend the county town. With the blessing of sufficient food supplies and guard weapons, they launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle with the Jin army. Even for six days, Wanyan Yong did not gain any advantage.

When Wanyanyong attacked Haiyang County, he also sent people to explore the way forward, and he felt a headache when he learned that the Restoration Army was heavily guarded in the direction of Yuguan.

But he had to quickly launch an attack in order to retake Yuguan as soon as possible.

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

On the other hand...

Wanyan Yong only spoke to his uncle Li Shi who was a counselor by his side.

"I don't know if it is possible to save Zhongdu. If not, in the worst case, Zhongdu will be wiped out, and Yanyun will not be able to be recovered by me, then I have to take Yuguan, no matter what. to take.

It is March now, and the water volume in Yushui is still not abundant. If it is delayed for a long time, the water volume of Yushui River will increase greatly in summer, and it will be even more difficult to cross the Yuguan Pass. We do not have much time, at most two months, we must win the Yuguan Pass! "

With the passage of time and the actions of the Restoration Army to seize Yuguan, Wanyan Yong concluded that the opponent had a master plan to act, and had already made a plan for the Jin army to enter Yanyun from Yuguan to save the Central Capital.

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

The central capital is in danger, and the collapse of the central hub of the Golden Kingdom is just around the corner.

But in any case, Yuguan has changed from an aggressive line to a safety valve. If Yuguan cannot be mastered, the Liberation Army can enter Liaodong at any time to show their strength, but he will shrink.

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

"We never imagined that the thief army is so powerful, but Wulu, have you ever thought that this is not only a crisis, but also an opportunity for you."

"opportunity?"

Wanyan Yong looked at Li Shi puzzled: "When the country is in danger, what chance do I have?"
