The Escape of the Fifty-One Golden Army (II)

And Wanyan Yungong and the two of them have different views, of course, he also knows that it is impossible to march at present, and can only return to the Jin State, but Wanyan Yungong is unwilling to let this military operation to rescue the Western Xia end in failure, his plan is to return to the central capital, immediately re-recruit people, still to continue to send a large army into the Western Xia, and must be with the Song army to divide the victory and defeat before giving up. Therefore, he thought that his party could return to the Jin State, but the currently occupied city of Western Xia could not be abandoned, and he still had to send heavy troops to garrison it to prepare for the next march into Western Xia and the decisive battle with the Song army.

Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining did not praise Emperor Cheng's opinion, because the current defeat of the Western Xia is certain, and when Dajin re-recruits men and horses and prepares, I am afraid that the Western Xia has already been completely wiped out by the Song Dynasty, and the Jin army is newly defeated, and the Song Dynasty is using troops against the Jin State in the Jianghuai area, so in a short period of time, the Jin State is also unable to remobilize the army to compete with the Song Dynasty for the Western Xia, even if it is to keep troops stationed in these places, it can only be broken by the Song army one by one. The remaining 100,000 Marco elite soldiers, as long as they are slightly repaired, reassembled, and morale restored, they are still an army with combat effectiveness, and they cannot be consumed in Western Xia in vain, so it is better to withdraw all of them to the territory of Dajin. On the one hand, the defense around Jingzhaofu was strengthened, and on the other hand, the troops in Nanjing and Shandong were reinforced to deal with the attack of the Song army.

But Wanyan Yungong felt that giving up Xixia like this was really a little difficult to get over in terms of his own face, and the Jianghuai front line naturally had to increase its troops, but Xixia must not give up easily, and the face lost here must be recovered here.

And other Wanyan Yungong's henchmen, such as Wanyan Baisa, Shuqi Gaohu and others, all agreed with the proposition of Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining, they did not consider the overall situation, but because they were afraid of the Song and Mongolian coalition forces, they really did not want to fight with the Song army in Western Xia. Since it is Shuqi Gaohu but heart, if according to Yan Yungong's opinion, leave troops to garrison in Western Xia, what if he leaves himself? Wouldn't it be his own life? It's just that they oppose it in their hearts, but they don't dare to say it openly in their mouths, so they can only infer that they don't understand military affairs, and then they don't say a word.

However, after the help of a few of them, Wanyan Yungong is also lonely, and in terms of the main reason, he can't say that he can't say that he is loyal and Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining, but he is not willing to give up, so he has been discussing for several days, and the New Year has passed, and there is no final decision.

On this day, when the monarch and several others were arguing again, they suddenly saw a person stumbling into the temporary line, kneeling in front of Wanyan Yungong, and crying loudly: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. Nanking...... Nanjing......"

The people present were very surprised, and they recognized the person who came as Sushi Liehu Shahu. Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining couldn't help but beat a drum in their hearts, Hu Shahu was a left-behind envoy in Nanjing, how did he run here, could it be that Nanjing Yijing was broken by the Song army? But it's not right, because even if Nanjing is broken by the Song army, Hu Shahu should retreat to the central capital, just send someone to send a letter here, there is no reason for Hu Shahu to report the news in person. Could it be that something bigger has happened?

Although Wanyan Yungong didn't think as much as the two of them, he also knew that something bad must have happened in Nanjing, and immediately said: "Hu Shahu, tell me quickly, what happened in Nanjing?" ”

Hu Shahu took a few breaths before he said: "Wanyan Chang's gang rebelled with Wanyan Chen monk and occupied Nanjing. Now Shandong and Nanjing have reversed the scriptures. ”

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, and everyone present was stunned. Servant Sanzhong hurriedly said: "Hu Shahu, what the hell is going on, you can tell me carefully." ”

Hu Shahu, of course, he will not say that he was defeated by the Song army, nor will he say that he let himself go. A rhetoric on the road to the scriptures to think about it, only said that he led the army in Chenzhou to resist the Song army, the two sides fought fiercely for several times, each other won and lost, is not able to hold the time, the result of Yan Changzhi took advantage of the false attack to take Nanjing, he had to give up Chenzhou, led the army back to rescue Nanjing, how do you know that Yan Chen monk led the army from Shandong to help Yan Changzhi, he was attacked by two people, the people and horses were defeated, he fought to the death, and finally killed a bloody road, alone out of the encirclement. Because he was afraid that telling the guards of other state capitals would shake people's hearts, he rushed to Western Xia alone to report to Wanyan Yungong.

After listening to Hu Shahu's words, Wanyan Yungong jumped up from the seat, pointed at Dongfang and scolded: "Wanyan Changzhi, you traitor, I should have put you to death in the first place, so as not to have a rebellion today." After I catch you, I will definitely break you into thousands of pieces in order to relieve the hatred in my heart. As he spoke, he was still angry, drew his sword again, and slashed at the table and chair.

At this time, Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining also came back to their senses, although Wanyan Changzhi's rebellion was bad news, but now what to say, what to lose his temper is also useless, so it is just right to take this opportunity to persuade the emperor to withdraw his troops back to Dajin, thinking of this, Fusan Zhongyi immediately gave Wanyan Bai a look.

Wan Yan Baisa will come to his senses immediately, in fact, he has long wanted to persuade Wan Yan Yungong to withdraw from the army, but he has been suffering from the lack of a proper excuse, which is a good reason, so he immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, please take a break from the anger of the thunder and listen to the minister." ”

Wanyan Yungong stopped his hand and said angrily: "Bai Sa, what do you have to say?" ”

Wan Yan Bai said: "Since ancient times, the outside must first be safe, and the internal troubles are not in addition to the outside." Now that there is a rebellion against Yan Changzhi, then we can't sit idly by, and ask Your Majesty to immediately order the abandonment of the land of Western Xia, return to the army and Dajin, destroy the rebels, and clean the opposition. ”

Wanyan Yungong calmed down, thought about it carefully, and finally nodded, and said, "Okay, then it's up to Qing and the others." Then he turned his gaze to the east and said hatefully: "After the face is long, I will never spare you." ”

Seeing that the emperor finally agreed to withdraw the army, Fusan Zhongyi, Fushi Lie Zhining and others were also relieved, so they told the emperor to retire and began to arrange the plan for the withdrawal of the army.

Su Shilie Hu Shahu came out with them, and then asked: "Prime Minister, Pingzhang, how is the war going in Western Xia?" I'm not sure it's going well, right? ”

Fusan Zhongyi nodded, Hu Shahu was also an important general of the Dajin army, and he was the emperor's confidant minister, so he didn't have to hide anything from him, so he explained to Hu Shahu the defeat of Yanzhou and the current situation of the Jin army.

On the way to Western Xia, Hu Shahu also heard that the Jin army's war in Western Xia was not going very well, but he did not expect that he would be defeated so badly in the first battle of Yanzhou, and he lost 100,000 people before and after. After listening to this, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Seeing Hu Shahu's face embarrassed, he thought that he was worried that after the defeat of the Jin army, it would be difficult to defeat the rebels of Wanyan Changzhi in the country, so he comforted him and said: "Hu Shahu, you don't have to be careful, although the middle route army was defeated in Yanzhou, there are still more than 100,000 people, but they have lost some baggage equipment, and the north and south roads have not suffered any major losses, and the two roads have a total of nearly 100,000 horses, plus the defenders of Jingzhao Mansion also have nearly 100,000 horses, so as long as we return to Dajin, there are enough troops of about 300,000 troops." However, the total number of men and horses in Nanjing and Shandong was only 1670,000, and they had to deal with the attack of the Song army, so they would inevitably suffer from the enemy on their backs, and it would not be difficult to put down the rebellion. ”

After Hu Shahu heard this, he also nodded and said, "Pingzhang is right." ”

At this time, the servant said loyally: "Hu Shahu, you must be very tired all the way to deliver the letter, go and rest first, and you will be indispensable if you return to China to quell the chaos in the future." Then he ordered a room for him to rest.

After Hu Shahu left, only the two of them were left, they glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but sigh, don't look at what Su Shi Lie Zhining said to Hu Shahu just now, in fact, both of them understand in their hearts that the current situation is ruined, Wanyan Changzhi and Wanyan Chen Monk are both famous generals of Dajin, not only holding heavy troops, but also having prestige in the military. And proficient in the art of war, can be used to war, and there is a strong general with a hundred battles, once the flag is raised, it must be carefully planned.

Not only that, Wanyan Changzhi's father-in-law, Wanyan Fushou, was one of Emperor Sejong's favorite ministers, and served as the ruling minister for many years, and his power was deep-rooted. And the father-in-law of Monk Wanyan Chen, Na Yan Ming'an, is the secretary of the household department and is in charge of the national finances, which cannot be ignored. Moreover, Wanyan Fushou and Na Yan Ming'an were originally close relatives, so if these two pairs of Weng sons-in-law join forces, the power will definitely not be small. Even a real change of dynasty is not impossible.

What's more, this kind of opportunity will never be missed by the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Southern Song Dynasty will use troops to the north from the Jianghuai line, once Yang Yanping destroyed the Western Xia, he sent troops from the west, and attacked Dajin from both sides, and even Mongolia fought from the north, Dajin was really in danger of losing the country. Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to withdraw the troops as soon as possible and rush back to Daikim, and quickly put down the rebellion, so as to have a chance to preserve Daikim.

Therefore, the two immediately reorganized their men and prepared to withdraw their troops. It's just that the Jin army's baggage and scriptures have all been lost, and they don't even have food to supply back if they want to withdraw the army. Now I can't take care of a lot, and I immediately ordered that all the materials that were missing were mobilized in Hongzhou City, which was actually a robbery, anyway, the city was not wanted, and it was useless to stay in the Song army.

As soon as the Jin army left Hongzhou, Yang Changpeng and Li Haoyi led the Song army to arrive immediately and captured Hongzhou without a single soldier. Standing on the top of the city, you can even see the figure of the golden soldier.

Li Haoyi couldn't help but say: "Yang Dutong, is it difficult for the Jin Army to go back so easily?" ”

Yang Changpeng smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, right? Yang Shuai has his own arrangements, and if he wants to withdraw the army so easily, there is no such good thing. ”
