When they arrived at a three-way intersection, the soldiers asked Shi Jianu: "Lang Jun, there are two roads here, one to Fengzhou and the other to Dongjiazhai, which one shall we take?" There is no shortage of money and food in Dongjiazhai, but I am afraid that there will be Song troops stationed, and one is not good-"

When Shi Jianu heard this, he scolded him: "Go to Fengzhou, get farther and farther away from the Yellow River, go deep into the territory of the Southern Dynasty, where do we still have a way to live!" Go to Dongjiazhai! Gather some grain and grass there and go home along the Yellow River! ”

The soldiers promised and muttered a little in their hearts. The Song army occupied Tanglong Town, and Dongjiazhai must be heavily defended, and it must be dangerous to go. Dongjiazhai is not only the backing of Tanglong Town, but also the gateway of the volcano army, and the Song Dynasty has always guarded it tightly. As soon as he turned around, he saw a few figures flashing on the mountain, and he hesitated and said to Shi Jianu: "Lang Jun, there are scouts behind us, I'm afraid that they will come out of Tanglong Town." If there are soldiers and horses following behind, we will collide with the ambush soldiers of the Southern Dynasty head-on in front, but it will be a fatal situation. Shall we go back and fight again? ”

Shi Jianu shook his head, and with a gloomy face, he just urged forward.

When he left Tanglong Town and headed south, Shi Jianu found that Song Jun was following behind. Yesterday, I sent fifty elite cavalry, but I didn't want the Song army scouts to see it from afar, so I turned around and fled. The Khitan soldiers stopped, and the Song army scouts also stopped, chasing and leaving, and following if they didn't chase.

The Khitans were experts in this style of play, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they hurriedly returned. This style of play is like flying a kite, with a string tied far behind you, so you can't run. If you follow the line, you will either not be able to catch up with anyone, or you will encounter a large army in ambush, and if you are not careful, the whole army will be wiped out. This situation is already very dangerous, and Shi Jianu knows this, how can he waste his efforts.

There is no need to doubt that there will be a large group of pursuers behind the scouts. The Song army's tactics are obvious, that is, they are far behind, bullying the Khitans far from the rear, without support. Wait until the Khitans are exhausted, come up and easily reap the fruits of victory.

What to rob Dongjiazhai, Shi Jianu is now full of how to escape back.

In the fourth year of Qingli, when the Khitan forces entered Tanglong Town, Fan Zhongyan proposed that the Volcano Army support the Xiaofan tribe on the other side of the river. Otherwise, when the Khitans plundered and pursued them, it would be easy to cross the river and enter the Song realm, and there would be conflicts. He made this suggestion in view of the geographical situation in the area around Tanglong Town. Tanglong Town is located in an open valley, the Khitans attacked from the north, and the Tibetan people went south along the valley, and it was inevitable to cross the Yellow River and enter the volcanic army. At this time, Shijianu took this route, and he will go to the other side of Dongjiazhai tomorrow.

Shi Jianu had no choice, and after the failure of the attack on Tanglong Town, he would starve to death when he returned to the north, so he could only go south to eat. As for what it will be like when you arrive in Dongjiazhai and encounter Song Jun, that's another matter, it's a big deal to survive.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Wang Kai's soldiers and horses were camped by the river and were guarding the mouth of the valley. Since the defeat of Shijianu to the south, Tanma has reported every two hours the distance between the Khitans and here.

Wang Kai stood on the top of the mountain on horseback, quietly looking at the valley in the north. Su Jing, the deputy general beside him, said: "Deployment, it is not good for the Khitans to attack Tanglong Town, and the soldiers are tired from afar." We might as well take advantage of the unpreparedness, set up an ambush in front of us, and decide the outcome in a battle! ”

Wang Kai shook his head: "No need, the Khitans have no supplies, as long as we hold on and don't let them cross the river, we will inevitably mess up." Also, Zhang Jian of Tanglong Town came to write a letter, saying that he brought 300 cavalry and embellished behind the Khitans. We held on, and we had Zhang Du to monitor the flank. ”

Hearing this, Su Jing didn't speak again. In the face of the Khitans, the Song army was still very cautious and did not take the initiative to attack as a last resort. In the decades since the founding of the country, there have been few victories in the battle against the Khitan, so everyone must not be cautious. It's already a complete victory, so there's no need to take any chances.

Shi Jianu sat on his shoulder, and the pain in his leg injury came, and he couldn't help frowning. At this time, he was extremely remorseful, and this time he came out to loot too much Meng Lang. Although it is not possible to rob it, it is not necessary to go to Tanglong Town, grab the small Fan outside and barely survive the winter.

At this moment, a fast horse arrived in front of him, and the soldier turned over and fell off the horse, and said with a forked hand: "Lang Jun, there is a Song military camp in front of the valley!" ”

Shi Jianu was upset when he heard this, and scolded: "Where are the soldiers and horses!" I can't see the shadow of Song Jun for hundreds of miles, but now I am blocked in front of me every day, what a ghost! Find out where the soldiers and horses are and how many people there are! ”

The soldier said: "Hui Langjun, the banner of the Song army in front is clear, it is the Linfu Road Army Horse Division, deploying Wang Kai's military horses." ”

Shi Jianu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and secretly said that he was unlucky. Wang Kai is well-known for leading soldiers and fighting tough battles, and his remnants of the defeated army will run into him, is it still necessary to fight this battle?

Watching the scout cavalry go away, Shi Jianu said to the soldiers around him: "You go and order all the troops of the border army, and confront the Song army after leaving the valley." If they don't attack first, order them to hold on. This is the territory of the southern country, and it is difficult to explain when it comes to fighting. ”

The pro-soldier promised, thought about it and asked Shi Jianu in a low voice: "Lang Jun, then we-"

Shi Jianu said weakly: "Not far from the valley mouth, there is a mountain road to the north, which can go back to Yongbian Prefecture. Let the border army block the Song army, we brought grain and grass and quietly escaped from the mountain road. This battle can't be fought, and those border troops can only settle their own destiny. ”

The soldiers understood and hurriedly passed the military order.

Most of the border soldiers were Fanhu, even if they clashed with the Song army, they were killed and captured, it was an insignificant matter. If these three hundred Khitan soldiers fall here, it will be completely different things. The Song army should have known this, so it has not taken the initiative to attack. However, only God knows how many of the 300 people will survive to go back by walking back on the mountain road.

Ten miles away from the soldiers and horses of the Shi family, Zhang Qi sat on the ground to roast the fire, and the three hundred cavalry under his command gnawed dry food to satisfy their hunger.

Tanma came over and said to Zhang Qi: "Eunuch, the Khitan people in front of them divided their troops before leaving the mountain, and most of them went to the valley mouth, and there were two or three hundred people who walked the mountain path and went to the east, looking to escape." ”

Zhang Qi was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "I'm going to escape." Needless to say, it was the Xiecong border soldiers who went out of the valley, and the Khitan soldiers fled into the mountains. The siege of Tanglong Town was frustrated, and some soldiers and horses were broken, and the courage of these Khitans has been lost. For two or three days, they had no food and grass to replenish, how much strength did they have to fight? ”

Li Hao, the deputy general next to him, said: "What the capital prison said is good. So what should we do? Wipe out the Khitans in front of them together with the deployment, and let those regular soldiers leave? In this way, we can win a big victory, and it is also convenient for us to fight a lawsuit later. ”

Zhang Qi shook his head: "Since the Khitans are here, how can they do it without suffering some hardships?" Regardless of the Khitans out of the valley, we only chased and fled into the mountains! Remember, you don't have to attack them, just make them not go fast and can't grab food and grass. I'd like to see how long they can hold out for hundreds of miles. These Khitans starved to death themselves, but it's none of our business. ”

Li Hao understood and nodded again and again. Now that the Song Dynasty and the Khitan are on good terms, can they not tear their faces or not. Since the Khitans sent most of them to the front to take the blame, there was no need for the Song army to deceive people too much. But it is not okay to just swagger away like this, where will Zhang Qi swallow this breath. As long as the Khitans are retained in the back, so that they can't go fast, and at the same time keep the small Fan on the road from being robbed, it will depend on the creation of the Khitans in the future.
