By the time Meng'an Qijin led his men and horses to arrive, the Mongol army had already fled without a trace, and the corpses of the Jin army were lying on the ground, and all the vehicles were burning.

Meng'an beat his chest on horseback, only hating himself for being a step late, not for saving the food team. I had to hurriedly order the soldiers to put out the fire and rescue things, but at this time the fire was out of control and could not be extinguished at all. Meng'an was helpless, so he had to order the soldiers to try their best to rescue things that had not yet been burned, and how much they could grab.

Fortunately, the Jin army had too many chariots, and it was impossible to completely burn them out for a while, and the Jin soldiers were also numerous, so everyone worked together to try their best to rescue them, and they were smoked one by one, and finally rescued more than 5,000 stone of grain, more than 1,500 stone of forage, and 685 pieces of cotton clothing. At the same time, more than 300 Jin soldiers who had been killed and scattered by the Mongol army saw the arrival of reinforcements, and they also gathered over again.

When Meng'an returned to Jinying with the rescued food and supplies, it was the fourth watch. Both Fusan Zhongyi and Fushi Lie Zhining were awakened from their dreams, and after learning the news of the robbery of the grain transportation team, the two of them suddenly fell asleep and immediately got up and came to the camp to visit. Seeing such a little material that was rescued by Meng'an Qijin and still exuded a strong smell of burnt hu, both of them had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

After listening to Meng'an's seven catties and the remnants of the grain transporting the whole thing, he went to the fifth watch. Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining had no intention of sleeping again, so they had to sit together and discuss their next steps. Tonight, the climate suddenly turned cold again, and now the grain and grass in the barracks are almost exhausted, and the rescued supplies can only last three or four days at most, and the nearby villages have also been looted by the Jin army, and no more supplies can be found. And Yanzhou City is still unbreakable, the morale of the Jin army is low, and there is no food to sustain, it seems that now there is no other way but to withdraw the army.

After the two discussed and decided, they only waited for the emperor to wake up at dawn, and immediately went to report to the emperor, and this time the emperor must be persuaded to withdraw from the army.

That knew that Yan Yungong accompanied a few beauties to drink and have fun last night, and he was so drunk that he only rested when he entered the shift, and in the early morning of the next day, he still fell asleep and couldn't wake up. The two did not dare to alarm the emperor, so they had to wait outside the imperial camp.

Today, the sky is dark, the wind is biting, and the temperature is much lower than yesterday. The few pieces of cotton clothes that were rescued had already been distributed, but there were too many monks and little porridge, so there was not enough to divide at all. Most of the soldiers who came and went outside the camp were still wearing single clothes, shivering in the cold wind, and could only shrink their bodies into a ball as much as possible, while the soldiers who had no task tried to hide in their tents and wrapped all their blankets and sheets around their bodies.

However, Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining are both leading generals, and they have long brought cotton clothes, and they have been heavily furbed, so that they don't feel cold, but when they see the soldiers frozen like this, they don't feel good, and they only feel that the entire Jin Army seems to be full of depression.

When the hour passed, Wanyan Yungong got up, and after freshening up, he was eating breakfast, but the two of them, Susan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining, couldn't wait, and immediately asked to see, but fortunately, Wanyan Yungong heard that they had an urgent matter to see, and also recruited them in. After the two entered the account, they reported the news of the robbery of the grain transportation team to Wan Yan Yungong.

Wan Yan Yungong was eating breakfast, and when he heard what the two of them said, he immediately became furious, overturned the breakfast table, and then immediately ordered the two to bring the main general of the grain transportation team to see him, and he must be punished.

Fusan Zhongyi had no choice but to tell Wan Yan Yungong with a wry smile that the main general of the grain transportation team, Da Shidu, was killed in battle, and only more than 300 soldiers came back in the entire grain transportation team. Wanyan Yungong was still angry, and immediately ordered that all the more than 300 soldiers be beheaded.

After the emperor lost his temper, he said: "Your Majesty, now that our grain and grass have run out of warps, and the weather is getting cold, and the soldiers have no cotton clothes, this battle can no longer be fought, according to the minister's opinion, it is better to withdraw immediately!" ”

Wanyan Yungong was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "I have raised troops this time to rescue Western Xia, and now I have only arrived in Yanzhou, and the Song army has not retreated, if we retreat, won't we give up halfway?" And won't the whole world laugh at my incompetence? ”

"But now that the army is running out of food, and Yanzhou City is difficult to capture, if you don't retreat, won't you be here to be killed?" ”

Wan Yan Yungong said: "How many days is the remaining military ration enough?" ”

Su Shi Lie Zhining said: "It's enough for about ten days." ”

Wanyan Yungong nodded and said: "That's enough, within five days, we can capture Yanzhou, and some food should be prepared in Yanzhou City, and when the time comes, we can join the men and horses who attacked Weizhou, and the shortage of military food can be solved." Why quit the army? ”

Looking at Wanyan Yungong's confident appearance, Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining couldn't help but be stunned, and Fusan Zhongyi said: "Your Majesty, in the past five days, where did the capture of Yanzhou start?" ”

Wan Yan Yungong smiled: "Are the two ** Qing so difficult to forget?" When we first sent out our troops, we were blocked under the city of Yinzhou, and we couldn't attack the city for more than ten days. Later, I decreed that if I couldn't capture Yinzhou, I would behead all the soldiers who participated in the siege. As a result, the next day, the soldiers really didn't care about life and death, fought to the death, and captured Yinzhou in one fell swoop. And the art of war: put it to death and follow in the footsteps. It can be seen that the soldiers still have to force, and only by forcing them into a desperate situation can they fight hard. Therefore, an order was immediately issued that starting tomorrow, within five days, if Yanzhou could not be captured, all the besieging soldiers would be executed. will definitely be able to capture Yanzhou. ”

When Fusan Zhongyi and Fushi Lie Zhining heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and couldn't say a word. You must know that when attacking Yinzhou, it was the Jin army that had just sent troops, and the momentum was sharp, so after the order was given, everyone was naturally desperate, and now the Jin army thought that the division veterans were tired, demoralized, and lacked food and grass, and the army was unstable. But after seeing Yan Yungong's appearance, the two also knew that it was useless to persuade them, so they had to retreat.

After Yan Yungong's order reached the whole army, it immediately caused an uproar in the whole army, although the soldiers did not say anything, but in their hearts everyone was full of resentment towards the emperor.

However, the Jin army was afraid of whatever he wanted, and that night, it snowed heavily, and it did not stop until the next morning. The snowflakes were as big as goose feathers, and the snow was more than half a foot thick overnight, plating the mountains, rivers, land, cities, and camps with a layer of silver white. It seems that it is impossible to attack the city today, and just last night, forty-three people froze to death in the camp of the Jin army, as well as more than two hundred war horses. Therefore, there were even more complaints in the barracks, and many people said words to reproach the emperor.

When Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining learned that the army's heart was unstable, they couldn't sit still, and planned to continue to persuade Yan Yungong. But this time, the two of them also learned wisely, and they didn't go directly to see Yan Yungong. Instead, he first found Wanyan Baisa and Shuqi Gaohu, because these two people were Wanyan Yungong's henchmen, and if they wanted to persuade Wanyan Yungong to agree to withdraw the army, they had to have the help of these two people. Therefore, Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining understood the two of them, moved them to benefit, and persuaded the two of them to agree to withdraw the army.

Shuqi Gaohu was originally a military general, although he was not a general, but he was not a mediocre material after all, and he could also see that at this time, the Jin army was in a great predicament, not to mention what was it to rescue the Western Xia, defeat the Song army, and be able to safely withdraw to the Jin State It is all right.

And Wan Yan Baisa has always been pampered when he lived in Zhongdu, and he suffered from this march there. Although his living conditions in the barracks were far better than those of other soldiers, they were far inferior to the brocade clothes and food in the palace in Zhongdu. And now the climate is getting cold, and it is snowing heavily, although his sleeping tent is thickened with tent cloth, and there is a stove in the tent, it can't withstand the cold wind, and he still feels cold. Therefore, in Wan Yanbaisa's heart, he actually wanted to withdraw the army for a long time. It's just that after seeing Yan Yungong's attitude, he was still very firm, and he didn't dare to persuade him easily.

Now that Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining came to persuade the two, Wanyan Baisa and Shuqi Gaohu were also in the middle of it, and they agreed in one bite. So after the four of them discussed, as soon as they arrived to see Yan Yungong, Chen said that it was very powerful, and urged Yan Yungong to rush the troops as soon as possible.

In fact, Wanyan Yungong is not a stupid person, yesterday it was only because he couldn't get over his face and couldn't get off in one breath that he resolutely did not withdraw the army, but gave a death order to continue attacking Yanzhou. But after a night, Wanyan Yungong's tone calmed down a lot, and at the same time, he also thought about what to do if he gave a death order and still couldn't capture Yanzhou, so he couldn't really kill all the Jin soldiers. Moreover, it snowed heavily overnight yesterday, and when I got up today, I saw that there was white everywhere, and I knew that I could not attack Yanzhou again. Therefore, there is some activity in the heart. It's just that yesterday I was too full of words to take it back.

It was at this time that Fusan Zhongyi, Fushi Lie Zhining, Wanyan Baisa, and Shuqi Gaohu jointly came to see Wanyan Yungong and persuaded him to withdraw his troops. Wanyan Yungong also happened to borrow the ladder to go down the wall, first deliberately reluctantly, and under the repeated persuasion of the four people, he pretended to be forced to agree to withdraw the army.

Seeing that the emperor finally agreed to withdraw the army, a big stone in the hearts of Fusan Zhongyi and Su Shi Lie Zhining finally landed. Since the monarchs and ministers have all agreed on their opinions, then do not hesitate, and immediately send an order to the battalions, so that the soldiers are ready to pack up today, and from tomorrow onwards, they will withdraw their troops one by one back to Dajin.

After this order was given, the soldiers were finally happy, and their resentment against the emperor was slightly reduced, and everyone was like arrows, so they were busy packing up.
