After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

After the "Pinggu Assassination", Han Ming, Zhou Qian and others split into two groups again. One group went straight to the final destination, Jingzhou, while the other group struggled to cross the Wuzhong Mountain and entered Jizhou City.

Originally, Han didn't want to go through so much trouble, but in order to get rid of the killer who was chasing him, he had to have some fun with this group of followers.

After the "Pinggu Assassination" failed that day, the news was passed back to the Imperial Palace in Xijin Prefecture. Yelu Hongji, who had long since regained consciousness, was reviewing memorials with a pale face.

He was accompanied by Xiao Guanyin, Yelu Wulitai, Yelu Liang and Yelu Yixin.

"Please sit down!" Yelu Hongji rubbed his temple with a tired look, as if the arrow wound had not healed yet.

"This is the news from Pinggu County. Take a look."

Xiao Guanyin took the initiative to take it, glanced at it roughly, and looked solemn. After several twists and turns, it finally fell into Yelu Liang's hands.

"Tell me, what exactly is this Marquis Han planning now?"

Xiao Guanyin and the other three looked at each other. Frankly speaking, they had set up a series of traps this time in order to completely kill Han Ming.

Whether it was Xiao Guanyin's letter of credence, Yelu Yixin's hint to Du Jiyang, or the meeting between Yelu Wulitai and Han Ming, they were all part of the plan.

What Yelu Hongji wanted was to trick Han Ming out of Xijin Prefecture and then completely defeat him.

However, ever since Han Ming went north to Liao, the killers at all levels of "Long Xijin" have completely lost their usual powerful methods and have failed repeatedly, allowing Han Ming to escape.

"There is only one purpose for going east - to go to sea!"

Yelu Yixin looked at Yelu Liang, who looked a little gloomy, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and took the initiative to answer the emperor's questions.

"Go out to sea?!" Yelu Hongji paused, then waved to Yelu Liang, who immediately took out a map of the vast sea area east of Xijin Prefecture.

Looking at the crisscrossing waterways above, Yelu Hongji slowly exhaled, and the entire hall fell into a silent and depressing atmosphere.

"Then which direction is he most likely to choose to sail out to sea?"

This time, Yelu Liang regained a bit of composure and began to point out the corresponding route to Yelu Hongji.

"Judging from the circumstances of the 'Pinggu Assassination', Han Ming's first choice was to take a boat south from the Beihe River, passing through Sanhe and Xincang, and then entering the Jiyun Canal and heading out to sea. This was the shortest route."

"The second route is to cross Wuzhong Mountain and enter Jizhou City, then go south along the Ji Canal."

"The third route is the farthest, passing through Qianxi, Lulong, and Luanzhou, and directly out of the Luan River estuary into the sea."

Yelu Liang quickly marked out Han Ming's route one by one, waiting for Yelu Hongji's questions.

"Just tell me what you think." Yelu Hongji waved his hands with a headache and chest tightness.

"Normally, Han Ming and his group would have taken the Beihe River route for the fastest route; however, based on my guess, he's most likely to choose the Luanhe River area!"

No one thought that Yelu Liang's statement was impossible despite it being so unusual.

After all, in their eyes, Han is a person who does not act according to common sense. If anyone wants to measure the other party with common sense, he will definitely fail.

"Then don't think in the usual way. Since Han Jingyuan likes to think out his tricks, we can go ahead and declare martial law in all the cities along the Luan River!"

Yelu Hongji slammed the table hard and made a plan to block the Luan River.

"At the same time, martial law will be imposed along the Beihe River and the Jiyun Canal. I would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one go."

"Ah Su, I have never been disappointed since I handed 'Long Xijin' to you. I hope this hunt for Han Ming will also have a good result..."

Although Yelu Hongji sounded hopeful, he was actually giving Yelu Liang a final ultimatum.

As for Yelu Liang, he also understood that the tolerance of his immediate superior, the Emperor of Liao, had reached its limit.

"I obey your order. This time, Han Ming and his party must be kept within the territory of Liao!"

Yelu Liang bowed, slowly walked out of the hall, and went to the office outside the palace.

"Yixin!"

Yelu Hongji lay on his back on the dragon throne and shouted with a tired look on his face.

"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Yelu Yixin immediately stood up and bowed.

"Order the troops heading south to launch an all-out attack to capture Song territory. Remember, ruthlessly defeat the current Song army and advance your troops to the Yellow River area."

"I will personally watch as the Emperor of Song surrenders, halts reforms, cedes cities, and increases 'annual tribute'!"

Yelu Hongji suddenly swung the sleeves of his imperial robe and lowered his body forward, like a tiger out of the cage, ready to devour its prey, pressing down with great power.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will immediately send orders to the front line."

A hint of bloodthirsty excitement flashed across Yelu Yixin's eyes, but he hid it well and turned to walk out.

"Royal brother..." Yelu Wulitai did not expect that after more than ten years, a full-scale war between Song and Liao would break out. This reminded him of the bad memories when his father was alive.

"Worita! I know what you are going to say, but there is no turning back between Liao and Song."

"Unless they stop the New Deal reforms and hand over Han Ming, no one can stop this battle—!"

Yelu Hongji's domineering aura permeated the entire hall for a long time.

Xiao Guanyin and Yelu Wulitai on the side frowned slightly, sensing something unusual and feeling deeply worried.

"I don't believe Han Jingyuan has any divine blessing. I only believe in myself..."

. . . . . .

Just when Yelu Hongji and others were preparing for a full-scale attack on the Song Dynasty, Han Ming and Yong Zeng passed through Jizhou City in one breath and ran to Shimen Town from the north gate.

Seven days later, the two passed through Shimen Town and entered Jingzhou, where they met up with Zhou Qian and others who had been waiting there early.

Before the two sides had time to thank each other for their hardship on the journey, Zhou Qian started to scold Han, leaving him stunned.

"My Lord, something terrible has happened! The Liao army has marched south to invade Song. Captain Cheng and Lord He are trapped near Rongcheng!"

"Also, the contact of the 'Assassin' in the Jingzhou area informed us that Yelu Liang is personally leading all the personnel of Xijin Prefecture under 'Long Xijin' eastward, preparing to completely encircle and annihilate us!"

Hearing Zhou Qian's somewhat anxious voice, Han Ming pressed his swollen temples helplessly.

"It seems that Yelu Hongji is getting anxious. We can't wait any longer."

"Pack your bags immediately and move eastward along the Inner Great Wall."

Han Ming didn't even give himself a chance to catch his breath. He hurriedly took Zhou Qian and others out of Jingzhou City and slipped eastward along the northern Longshan range.

"My Lord, if we take the Luan River, I'm afraid the middle and lower reaches will be blocked by the enemy..."

It seems that Zhou Qian was not idle during his stay in Jingzhou. He carefully analyzed Han Ming's planned route and believed that the Marquis of Anyang was preparing to go to the sea from the Luan River.

“Don’t go along the Luan River!”

Han Ming directly interrupted Zhou Qian's thoughts and words and stated his final destination.

"Such an obvious move, Yelu Hongji and the others are no fools, they will definitely see it, so I never thought of taking the Luan River!"

"We will directly penetrate along the Inner Great Wall, break through the waters between the Luan River and Qianxi, go to Anxi, then to Funing, cross Linyu Mountain, pass Yuguan, and go out to the sea from the Yu River!"

Han Ming's mouth curled up uncontrollably. This time he even fooled his own family, and the other party was not fooled by him.

"Ah this?!"

Faced with such a complicated route of action, Zhou Qian and others were so shocked that they were speechless.

They originally thought that Han Ming just wanted to escape the pursuit of Yelu Liang and others, and then quickly return to the country. Now it seems that this gentleman really has other ideas.

"Now that we know, don't tell anyone yet. When we get back to the border, we'll give Marquis Gu and the others a surprise!"

Han Ming smiled slightly, showing his heroic character.

. . . . . .

At the end of December, all the members of the 'Long Xijin' belonging to Xijin Prefecture rushed to the eastern Jizhou area and began an unprecedented large-scale search operation.

In such a chaotic situation, the Liao army on the border launched a military conflict to invade the Song Dynasty, and the entire Nanjing Road area was instantly in danger.

In such a situation, Yelu Hongji and others were still dreaming of taking down the Song Dynasty and Han Ming in one fell swoop. Little did they know that Han had already escaped the encirclement of "Long Xijin" and rushed towards Yumen Pass for his life.

This Yuguan Pass will have a magnificent name that will resound throughout the world in the future. It will be praised as "the best pass in the world", "the throat of the border counties, and the guarantee of the capital" - Shanhaiguan!!!

Looking at Yumen Pass, which had not yet been completely completed, Han Ming and everyone else felt completely relieved and smiled towards the sky.

"This round is another victory for me!"
