In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, if there was one person whose achievements could be compared with Yue Fei, then this person must be Wu Jie!

Although Wu Jie was not one of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, he has made outstanding contributions. He has defended Sichuan and Shaanxi for decades, making it difficult for the Jin soldiers to go south! He defeated Jin Bing many times, and often turned the situation on the battlefield by himself! Among the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, except for Yue Fei, the combined achievements of Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun are not as good as his alone! In addition to Wu Jie, Wu Jie's brother Wu Lin also made outstanding contributions, and Wu Lin also surpassed Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun!

Zhao Chen never dreamed that the "twelfth general" on Jingyuan Road turned out to be the famous Wu Jie in history! He has never heard of Yang Congyi's name, but he definitely knows Wu Jie's name!

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Zhao Chen staying there, Yang Congyi asked in surprise.

"Wu Jie, does he have another brother called Wu Lin?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Not bad!" Yang Congyi nodded.

"It seems that he is undoubtedly... Where is he now?" Zhao Chen said.

"General Wu Jie is at Heshangyuan, forty miles ahead, and General Wu Lin is at Dasan Pass behind!" Yang Congyi said.

"Very well, we are going forward, why don't you go forward with us!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Highness, General Wu ordered us to resist the Jin soldiers here!" Yang Congyi said.

"Resist the golden soldiers here? Your general Wu only has 5,000 troops in total. How many people did you bring? There are 100,000 troops behind us. If the 100,000 troops cannot resist the golden soldiers, how can you resist?" Zhao Chen said.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we are different from the Zhejia army! Before we left, General Wu ordered a plan, and we will definitely be able to stop the Jin soldiers!" Yang Congyi said.

"But your troops are too few!" Zhao Chen shook his head.

Yang Congyi wanted to argue with Zhao Chen over there, but Li Gang was already on the sidelines and said, "His Royal Highness, time is running out now, it's not the time to talk! The golden soldiers are getting closer, we have to leave first!"

Zhao Chen nodded, and he also knew that now is not the time to talk, so he said a few more words to Yang Congyi and the others, but Yang Congyi and the others still insisted on staying where they were, so Zhao Chen could only say: "If you can't resist the Jin soldiers, then Just retreat to the pass behind! Don't be reckless, you must protect your life!"

He just ordered casually, but Yang Congyi burst into tears with gratitude! A loyal minister like him can't stand the Lord talking like this! Originally, he thought that the prince was superior, but who knew that the prince was so friendly! Knowing that the golden soldiers are behind, the prince actually told them not to be reckless, and told them to protect their lives!

Zhao Chen didn't stay any longer, he got on his horse and headed forward with Li Gang, Yue Fei and others. Yang Congyi looked at the backs of Zhao Chen and others and didn't speak for a long time!

When Zhao Chen and others walked away, Yang Congyi looked at the surrounding soldiers and shouted: "We are all sons of the Song Dynasty, and His Royal Highness is right in front! His Royal Highness belongs to the country and the people of the world. Even if we all die, we can't fight!" Let people hurt His Highness the Crown Prince, do you understand?"

The surrounding soldiers nodded one after another, and one soldier said: "General Yang and General Wu didn't tell us to go all out, we still have to act according to General Wu's plan!"

Yang Congyi nodded and said, "It's natural. General Wu uses his troops like a god. I will naturally follow his plan! But, if we really need to sacrifice, we must not cherish our lives!"

After saying this, the soldiers around nodded again. Seeing the soldiers nodding, Yang Congyi showed a satisfied smile on his face. He led the soldiers towards the hidden place in the distance, not to mention!

Zhao Chen and the others continued to move forward. At this time, they had already reached the mountains, and the road gradually became more difficult!

"Your Highness, the Qinling Mountains are ahead, and we are now at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains! This place is called Shencha, the road is difficult, and the road ahead is Heshangyuan, and the road to Heshangyuan is even more difficult! After Heshangyuan, there is Dashan Pass. We are safe now!" Kang An of the Zhejia Army, who had been following Zhao Chen and the others, said at this moment.

Zhao Chen nodded. He has been with Li Gang these days and listened to Li Gang explaining the terrain of the Great Song Dynasty. He has already understood the importance of the Great Sanguan!

This Dasan Pass is the only dangerous pass in the southwest of Guanzhong, and it is also the pass with the most strategic value in the southwest of Guanzhong! After Dasan Pass is Hanzhong. If Dasan Pass is lost, Hanzhong will become dangerous! Losing Hanzhong, it is almost impossible to regain Guanshan! With the Dasan Pass, you can send troops from Hanzhong to attack the enemies all over Guanshan at any time, and recover Guanshan!

It can be said that this Dasan Pass is an important pass that determines the survival of Guanshan! Historically, there have been more than 70 battles of all sizes that took place here. This time, the battle that will determine the future of the Song Dynasty will also take place here!

"Monk Yuan, Dashanguan..." Zhao Chen recalled these place names in his heart, and felt that these place names were very familiar!

He suddenly remembered that in history, Wu Jie defeated Jin Wushu here! Now they actually came here, and Wu Jie is really here! It's just that the soldiers and horses in Wu Jie's hands are really too few. A mere 5,000 people may not be able to stop the Jurchen soldiers who are as fierce as tigers!

Historically, it was several years after Wu Jie and Jin Wushu fought. At that time, Wu Jie was no longer just a lieutenant general, but a general with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses! Now it is the second year of Jingkang, the disaster of Jingkang has just happened, Wu Jie's strength is low, can he resist the golden soldiers?

"It's really not possible, let Wu Jie also retreat to the Dashan Pass! In the Dashan Pass, we should be able to stop the golden soldiers!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

For a moment, his thoughts were like a wave!

"Your Highness, the soldiers under Yang Congyi's command just now are no small matter!" At this moment, Yue Fei suddenly said aside.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen was taken aback, and said, "Those soldiers don't look much different from the soldiers of the Zhejia Army. Why do you say they are no small matter?"

Yue Fei said: "Your Highness, those soldiers look calm, with a faint murderous look on their bodies! They don't have the decadent temperament of Zhejia soldiers, nor are they timid! They are neat and tidy. Order, these are not seen in Zhejiajun! So, I say those soldiers are no small matter!"

"Wu Jie, you really deserve your reputation!" Zhao Chen nodded secretly.

The sky is getting dark, and the road ahead is getting more and more difficult! There are no longer formed roads here, only some rocky trails! After arriving here, Zhao Chen and others could only get off the horse and lead the horse forward!

The snow is still falling and the road is smooth. Even with Zhao Chen's martial arts, he has to be careful at this moment. As for Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and others, they are moving forward with the support of Yue Fei, Wang Gui and others!

"The road here is so weird, if you set up an ambush here, you will definitely be able to defeat the golden soldiers!" Li Gang said.

"Although the road here is weird, it's flat and there's not much room to set up an ambush!" Yue Fei shook his head and said.

The soldiers in front held torches in their hands, but the light of the torches was extremely weak, and they couldn't see far away! Only Yue Fei, whose martial arts are extremely strong, can see the distance at this moment!

Although they had traveled for a long time, everyone didn't dare to stop and rest at this moment. They only hoped that they could get out of here quickly and come to Dasan Pass!

It's just that the road is too difficult, and they still haven't walked out of Monk Yuan until midnight!

At this moment, there was a faint light of fire in front, and Zhang Xian had already gone to inquire about the news! After a while, Zhang Xian came back and said, "Your Highness, that General Wu Jie from Jingyuan Road is just ahead, and he has already brought people to visit His Highness!"

"Wu Jie?" Zhao Chen was overjoyed and said, "Quick, let's go see him!"

He strode forward, the excitement on his face couldn't be concealed! Li Gang next to him was secretly surprised, and said, "Your Highness, have you heard of Wu Jie's name?"

At this time, Wu Jie was only a lieutenant general. Except for Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and others had never heard of his name.

Zhao Chen was taken aback, nodded after a while, and said with a smile: "When I was in the palace that day, I heard my father mention this person's name! He is a rising star of the Western Army, comparable to Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others. !"

Li Gang frowned slightly, disapproving of Zhao Chen's words! Although Song Qinzong was the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Song Qinzong didn't seem to have much talent. Li Gang looked down on Song Qinzong faintly in his heart. He thought that the talents Song Qinzong liked might not have much ability! Second, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others are highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in strategy. They are the most outstanding young generals of the Western Army in recent years. He doesn't think that Wu Jie can surpass Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun! When he thought about it, His Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be a little reckless. Why would such a lieutenant general be so excited to meet him!

Zhao Chen didn't see Li Gang's expression, he just strode forward! Gradually, the fire ahead was getting closer and closer, and a group of hundreds of people were also walking forward with torches!

Those people were getting closer and closer, and Zhao Chen finally saw the face of the leading general!

It was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old. Although he was wearing armor, he gave off a refined temperament, as if he was a scholar!

Zhao Chen froze there for a while, and the two words "Zhou Yu" suddenly appeared in his mind! The image of the young general in front of him is exactly the same as that of Zhou Yu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

"Could it be that this person is the famous Wu Jiecheng in history?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.

Although he knew that Wu Jie was a famous general in the early Southern Song Dynasty, he didn't know that Wu Jie was originally a scholar in the Northwest! Later, when a war broke out between the Song Dynasty and Xixia, Wu Jie gave up his pen and joined the army! After that, Wu Jie made many military exploits and became the deputy general of Jingyuan Road! After that, Wu Jie went south to Sichuan to form a new army in Sichuan! At this moment, he is leading thousands of new troops under his command to the north. It turned out that he wanted to go to King Qin of Kaifeng. Now that he heard the news of the prince, he naturally came to rescue the prince!

The young general was getting closer and closer to Zhao Chen, and when he came to Zhao Chen's side, he knelt down abruptly and said, "The last general, Deputy General Wu Jie of Jingyuan Road, sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
