"You are Wu Jie, hurry up!" Zhao Chen looked at Wu Jie's appearance, and inexplicably felt a little more favorable in his heart! Maybe it's because of Wu Jie's famous name in history, or because his appearance is too similar to the handsome "Zhou Yu" in his mind! Therefore, even though we just met, Zhao Chen's voice already has a touch of kindness!

"Your Highness came here all the way from Kaifeng, it's been hard work!" Wu Jie stood up, and he was also looking at Zhao Chen, and after a while, he said with a smile.

In his opinion, this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also different. Although he is fleeing from disaster, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still maintains his demeanor. He doesn't look like he is fleeing, but rather like a good young man in a chaotic world who came here on a trip!

"Fleeing all the way, it was a last resort, so what's the point of hard work!" Zhao Chen smiled wryly, and said: "General Wu, when I was in Kaifeng, my father mentioned your name!"

Since Song Qinzong had already attributed the name of hearing Wu Jie to Song Qinzong, at this moment Zhao Chen changed his mind and started talking about this topic again.

"Oh, Your Majesty ever mentioned the name of the last general?" Wu Jie couldn't believe it, and said, "The last general is just a mere lieutenant general, yet he can go to heaven?"

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "Although General Wu is a deputy general, he manages the army well. Father said you are a rising star of the Western Army, and he thinks you are not inferior to Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others!"

"This..." Wu Jie stayed there, and after a while, he said excitedly, "Your Majesty really said that?"

Zhao Chen said: "I am the prince, how can I still deceive you!"

Wu Jie was stunned for a while, laughed loudly, and said: "Your Majesty thinks highly of the last general, and the last general will not disappoint His Majesty! Today the last general is here to assure His Highness that there is a young general in the monk's place, and Jin Bing I will never take another step forward! With the last general here, His Highness will never have to run away again!"

Zhao Chen was skeptical about Wu Jie's words, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll believe you! General Wu, although it's the first time we meet, I feel like old friends at first sight. Don't let me I am disappointed!"

Wu Jie said: "Naturally, I will never let His Highness down! Your Highness, the front is the main position of the Monk Yuan, and I will meet the Jin soldiers there! Although I have only a few thousand soldiers under my command, the Jurchens have 100,000 soldiers! Don't even think about passing through the front! The front position is extremely steep, and it is dark now, and it is difficult to go up. Your Highness, why don't I send someone to escort you to Dashan Pass first, and you will wait for the last general at Dashan Pass. Good news for the defeat of the golden soldiers!"

This Wu Jie has a different personality, and his words are full of confidence! Zhao Chen knew Wu Jie's name, but he didn't feel anything, but Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and others next to him stayed there. They really didn't expect Wu Jie to be so arrogant!

Just imagine that Wu Jie has only 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the Jurchen army of tens of thousands is chasing after him! Jurchens are invincible, let alone tens of thousands? Even Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu, Zhe Keqiu and other real generals of the Western Army are no match for the Jurchen. How can he describe the war so simply and be so confident? How is this possible?

At this moment, Li Gang and Li Ruoshui already regarded Wu Jie as another Orihiko, and even in their hearts, Wu Jie was not as good as Orihiko! After all, Zhe Yanzhi was from a family of soldiers and generals, and he brought 50,000 Zhe family troops to meet the Jurchens, while Wu Jie only had 5,000 new troops! The Zhejia Army is a well-known faction in the Western Army. It used to fight against the Xixia Army, and also defeated the Xixia Army. Wu Jie's new army has only been trained for less than two years, and it may not be much better than the average Minyong! Comparing the two, Wu Jie is far inferior to Zhe Yan!

"General Wu, we don't want to delay here! Your Highness is precious, and we will take His Highness to Dasan Pass immediately, so we bid farewell!" Li Gang cupped his hands and said.

Wu Jie naturally didn't know Li Gang's identity, but he was able to follow Zhao Chen's side, so he must be no ordinary person! At that moment, Wu Jie also cupped his hands, with a smile on his face, and said: "Your Highness, wait for the news of the last general in Dasan Pass! Besides, my brother Wu Lin is also in Dasan Pass now! We came from Sichuan that day. When I got here, I knew that Dashan Pass decided to close Shaanxi, and after learning the news that the Jin soldiers were about to march westward, I brought 4,000 people to Monk Yuan, and my brother Wu Lin led 1,000 people to guard Dashan Pass! The Zhejia Army has arrived, Your Highness, please inform my brother, so that my brother can also come to Monk Yuan! We will teach the Zhejia Army this big clearance!"

Zhao Chen nodded with a smile. It is inconvenient for him to continue talking with Wu Jie at this moment, so he will continue to move forward with his people! Passing by the main position of Monk Yuan along the way, I found that it is indeed extremely steep, and there is only one small road to pass through the main position! After passing this small road, the road finally gradually became smoother!

*** ***

"This Wu Jie is really arrogant to the extreme! Your Highness, you must never believe his lies! He will definitely not be able to stop the Jin soldiers, we must defend the Dasan Pass properly!" Li Gang said at this moment.

"I don't know why, but I just believe him in my heart." Zhao Chen shook his head and said.

"Your Highness, you are worthy of self-knowledge! Zhe Yanzhi has no self-knowledge, and led an army of 50,000 Zhe to meet the Jurchen cavalry, but was defeated by the Jurchen cavalry effortlessly! Now this Wu Jie also has no self-knowledge, just a lieutenant general, There are only a few thousand soldiers and horses under him, and they even try to stop the Jurchen's tens of thousands of troops! Your Highness, do you think this is possible?" Li Ruoshui said beside him.

"Let's wait and see!" Zhao Chen also had some doubts in his heart. It was really because Wu Jie had too few soldiers and horses, and it was too difficult, too difficult for such soldiers and horses to stop the tens of thousands of Jurchen troops! However, Wu Jie's reputation in history is too great, and he has almost no defeats in history! He was the first person in the Southern Song Dynasty to be named Jiedushi because of his military achievements. In the end, his military achievements were so outstanding that he was named the Jiedushi of the two towns of Fengning and Baoding. There are very few in the world! He and his brother Wu Lin were crowned kings at the same time because of their military exploits. With their two brothers around, the Jin soldiers went south to conquer Guanshan, and it was difficult to realize the strategic plan from Guanshan to Shuchuan, and from Shuchuan to Jiangnan!

Such a peerless general who can be compared with Yue Fei in history, conniving at his subordinates with only a few thousand soldiers, Zhao Chen has no choice but to believe him!

However, Yue Fei is upright, loyal, and somewhat rigid in doing things. In this regard, Wu Jie is quite different from him! Wu Jie has an active personality, and he has a good relationship with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and he has enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth!

"Let's go, hurry up to Dasanguan!" Zhao Chen said while recalling Wu Jie's deeds.

It wasn't until the sky became dark that they saw the Great Sanguan in front of them!

This Dasan Pass, like Tongguan, is located in the mountains! Looking from a distance, the mountains are steep and there are many mountains! Like Tongguan, it is also "one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it". It guards the main roads of Guanzhong and Sichuan.

"Your Highness, we have sent people to inform the defenders in Dashan Pass that the gate will be opened soon!" Li Gang said when he came to the bottom of Dashan Pass.

Zhao Chen nodded, and less than a quarter of an hour later, the door was closed and opened, and countless soldiers came out of Dasan Pass and knelt down in front of Zhao Chen!

The leader of these people is Wu Jie's brother Wu Lin. This Wu Lin is somewhat similar to Wu Jiechang's, and they are full of elegance! These two brothers were scholars back then, when the Xixia people invaded, they had to join the army, and their scholarly temperament has not diminished even now! Historically, Wu Lin's official position was even higher than that of his elder brother. Later, Wu Lin was named Taifu, and after Wu Lin died, he was posthumously named Taishi! Both of them are outstanding military achievements!

"General Wu Lin, your elder brother is waiting for you at the monk in front, you should take the soldiers to fight with your elder brother now! As for the big clearance, leave it to the Zhejia army!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, the last general will lead the troops to Monk Yuan!" Wu Lin nodded without hesitation.

To be honest, Wu Lin was also worried about his brother's safety! The two brothers trained a total of more than 5,000 soldiers. Because they had to defend Dasan Pass, they assigned more than 1,000 soldiers to him. This made Wu Lin very worried about the lack of troops at Wu Jie!

Now receiving the order from the crown prince, Wu Lin immediately integrated the army and led his troops towards the direction of Monk Yuan!

"This army is very powerful! I came here from Xiangzhou, and all the troops I have seen along the way are not comparable to this army!" Yue Fei said fiercely.

"It seems to be a little different. It's only a quarter of an hour. They have already lined up and headed towards Monk Yuan! If it's the Zhejia army, it's impossible without an hour!" At this moment, Li Gang also issued a message. Surprised voice.

"These two are famous generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, how could it be so bad?" Zhao Chen secretly said.

"Your Highness, let's enter Dasan Pass!" Li Gang said.

They finally entered the pass city of Dasan Pass. When they arrived here, they finally stopped and did not continue on their way!

Zhao Chen, Li Gang and others have not rested for several days, and they are all exhausted at the moment, but the Jurchens are not far from the north, and now is not the time to rest! Zhao Chen and others first asked people to prepare food, and after eating they continued to discuss the situation of the battle! Although Zhao Chen has great confidence in Wu Jie, but Wu Jie has too few soldiers and horses, he can't help but think about what they will do if Wu Jie is defeated, and whether they can hold the Dasan Pass!

During this day, there was no news from Monk Yuan. It seems that the Jurchens have not arrived yet!

It's just that at night, there was a lot of noise from below the Dashan Pass, and countless soldiers rushed to the bottom of the Dashan Pass. It was the Zhejia Army's brigade who arrived!
