There's nothing more painful than finding your enemy gone, as you attack your enemies with all your might.

Wanyan Lou's mobilization here was in full swing, and he said that he once wanted to go to the battlefield with weapons in person, and pull a few arrogant Song people on his back before he died, but at this time, the Song army retreated.

Wanyan Lou Room almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and he hurriedly asked the little soldier who came to report, "When did it happen?" When did the Song army retreat? ”

"Just now, Dashuai!" The little soldier replied: "Yesterday, the Song army retreated five miles, and our army scouts followed up to check, only then they reported that the Song army had begun to retreat!" ”

"Where are they going?" Wan Yan Lou asked again.

Xiao Bing said: "General Yu, if the route estimated by our army scouts is accurate, the Song army should be heading in the direction of Songting Pass!" ”

Wanyan Lou Room breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's okay, it's still in time." The crowd will listen to the order, we will rush! ”

He wanted to rush after Yan Lou's room, but the soldiers under his command didn't want to. There is no way for Song Jun to ride on his face, he is dead on the left and right, so it is better to go out and fight.

But now that the Song army has retreated, why did it run out to die? This makes no sense! So everyone persuaded one after another, and Fang Cai wanted to run out to die wholeheartedly, and at this time he also began to persuade Yan Lou's room.

"Forget it, big boss. If the Song army continues to deploy troops in front of the city, we will fight with them to break the net, which is understandable.

But now, the Song army has retreated, and if we go to pursue it again, won't it only increase casualties? ”

"That's right, Sir. In the process of fighting the Song army, we lost tens of thousands of troops before and after, and the loss of the Song army was only a few thousand.

At present, our main target is still the Khitan people in the west, only after the Khitan people are eliminated, we can go all out to deal with the Song people, the pursuit is not the best strategy, the commander thinks twice. ”

"Yes, Dashuai, what if this is a flaw deliberately exposed by Song Jun? In case they deliberately retreat and lure us into the bait, wouldn't we be in their hands if we pursued them again?

Considering Song Jun's cunning performance before, this possibility is not low! ”

The generals have expressed different ideas in one word, and one word in me, but there is only one core content, that is, don't be impulsive and don't pursue the Song army.

Seeing that all the generals under his command said so, Wanyan Lou had no choice but to give up. sighed and said, "What you said makes sense, it is indeed not a wise move to pursue the Song army."

Since this is the case, then we should not attack, continue to garrison Dading Mansion, and by the way, inform the other states not to send reinforcements over.

But although the Song army retreated, they still operated in the territory of our Dajin country, if they turned around to attack other states and counties, I

What do we do? ”

The generals said that with the ability of the Song army, if they wanted to capture Dading Mansion, it would be a matter of a few days, how could other states and counties resist the Song army?

Beijing Road does not have enough troops to compete with the Song army, and now there is no way to take the Song army, so it is better to turn a blind eye.

So the generals said: "Marshal, the Song army is powerful today, and it is not wise to confront it head-on. Besides, the Song army has been deep into our Dajin country for several days, and it is difficult to supply food and grass, so I am afraid that they will not stay longer.

If they capture the state capital, eighty percent will not occupy it. Since the place is not lost, what does it matter if they win once or twice? ”

Wanyan Lou was aggrieved, when had he ever fought such a bad battle? He really wanted to rush forward with his warriors to fight the Song people to the death, but as he said before, this was not a wise move.

Now Song Jun is like a fly in his mouth, he can't spit it out, he can't swallow it, he wants to fly around inside, and Wanyan Lou Room can only let it go.

So Wanyan Lou finally ordered that the soldiers of the state capitals on Beijing Road should be stationed in the local area, and if they encountered the Song army, they would avoid it.

This led to Tang Ning taking the soldiers back to the Gubei Pavilion all the way unimpeded, and the Zhenguo army walked on the official road of the Jin Kingdom, swaggering and arrogant, but no one came out to intercept on the road, and when they saw the Jurchens or Khitans walking on the road from a distance, they immediately scattered.

The grain and grass were already very tight, Tang Ning himself asked the fire head shift to cook only one meal for him at noon every day, in order not to delay the time, the Zhenguo army went all the way straight and spent four days to arrive at the Gubei Pavilion.

The soldiers of the Song State who transported the grain and grass here immediately delivered the grain and grass, and the Zhenguo army ate the first full meal in this half a month.

This sortie has achieved remarkable results. Not only in the battle of Gubei Pavilion, he severely damaged the headquarters of Yan Lou's room, reducing his strength by half. In the process of encircling Dadingfu to send reinforcements, two more Jin reinforcements were defeated.

There were few casualties in the Pingxia camp, but the casualties caused would not be less than 5,000. Chong Jianzhong beheaded 8,000 of the 30,000 Jin army and captured more than 7,000, which can be described as a complete victory.

The Gubei Pavilion is very close to Danzhou, and the Danzhou Guard, who originally belonged to the Liao State, did not perform out of the ordinary after Juzhou surrendered to the Song State. Considering the problem of governance, and the fact that others have just taken refuge in him, it will always be sweet for a while, and the Song court made an exception to appoint him as the governor of Danzhou and the envoy of Danzhou.

The word right is put into the title of an official in the Song Dynasty, which means temporary generation, but even if it is a temporary generation, in the Song Kingdom, the position of Zhizhou has never used military attachés.

Although the Jiedu envoy is the highest-ranking local official, the Jiedu envoy has no title but no power, and the military and political affairs have always been controlled by the governor, and the finances have also been allocated to the transfer envoy.

Now this Danzhou guard, who originally belonged to the Liao State, has both the official title of the envoy of the festival and the power of the governor. Except for a transfer envoy, the Song court did not appoint any other hand in Danzhou

Powerful officials.

He handled all the local affairs alone, and he could be said to have great power.

Compared with Youzhou, after Liu changed his self-slaughter, the Song State occupied Youzhou. The Song court immediately appointed Youzhou governors, general judges, and transfer envoys, and the regimental training envoys came here to take over the governance of Youzhou.

Later, many local officials were dismissed and replaced by officials of the Song State.

From the comparison between the two, it is not difficult to see that Song Guo has sent a very obvious signal, that is, active and passive, the treatment is worlds apart.

This had to make the rest of the guards of the sixteen states of Yanyun start to think, if the Song State really called, should they continue to finally reach the old master, or should they surrender to the Song State and become the soil emperor of the county of Benzhou?

After returning to the Gubei Pavilion, the Danzhou guard sent a lot of supplies, and Tang Ning naturally expressed his gratitude to him.

The official of the Song State, who is now the governor of Youzhou, does not seem to be very interested in Tang Ning, or the Youzhou transfer envoy came to reward the Zhenguo army with all kinds of materials, and the words implied that Tang Ning was not very happy about the fact that he came with supplies.

He may have wanted to borrow Tang Ning's hand to get rid of his top boss so that he could take the position, but unfortunately, this set did not work on Tang Ning.

From the very beginning, Tang Ning defined himself as an emperor's loyal dog, a general who was ordered by the emperor to fight in all directions.

Therefore, he never interferes in political affairs, which is also an important reason why some people hate Tang Ning, but they can tolerate Tang Ning.

As Tang Ning, he had enough power to dictate the political affairs of the Song State, and he also had the right to put forward his own opinions on every decree issued by the Song State.

But he never did that, nor did he participate in partisanship, let alone join any party. So for most of the Great Song Dynasty officials, Tang Ning is indeed a person who people love and hate.

After returning to the Gubei Pavilion, Tang Ning had a chance to take a breath. I've been fighting outside with a breath in my breath, but when I come back, I'm finally able to rest.

I haven't written a letter for a month, and after Tang Ning was free, he immediately sent a letter to his family and elders to report his safety. After that, he had to write a battle report on the Battle of Dadingfu for Zhao Xu to read.

A few letters were written to Tang Ning for a whole day, and Tang Ning handed over the battle report to Fang La and asked Fang La to write it for him.

After staying in the Gubei Pavilion for three days, Tang Ning withdrew to the territory of Danzhou and headed in the direction of Shunzhou.

His purpose was very simple, after occupying Shunzhou, he would occupy Zhuozhou. In this way, the sixteen states of Yanyun will be divided into two, divided into east and west.

Before going back, Downing also walked around the Great Wall, which was the first time in his life.

It is a pity that today's Great Wall has not been rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, giving Tangning a sense of vicissitudes. Therefore, Tang Ning did not stay on the Great Wall for long, walked casually, and hurriedly led the army away.
