So many prisoners of war were suddenly sent back, and they were all relatively high-status people in the Xia army, and some were Western Xia nobles, this nobleman was slightly different from the nobles of the Central Plains Dynasty, not only real nobles, but also the immediate family members or descendants of some major clan chiefs, as well as some generals in the army.

Everyone didn't dare to stop it, but someone hurriedly reported Liang Yi to bury it.

Liang Yibury was also at a loss, why did the Song Dynasty release these people together.

He came up with this idea because these people were mainly prisoners of war from Yele Town, Gyeongju City and Malyeongcheon, in these three battlefields, Western Xia was one-sided, and the Xia army did not penetrate deep after the war, so cleaning the battlefield had nothing to do with the Xia army. Whether those generals were killed in battle or captured, Liang Yi buried it is not clear.

But after these people were screened, one spoke, and the latter spoke together, and less than a quarter of the prisoners of war were really stubborn and did not surrender. In fact, it is equivalent to releasing it all.

The very few "loyal ministers and martyrs", where does Liang Yi know.

He immediately summoned these prisoners of war together, and there were quite a few of them, nearly 200 of them here alone, and Liang Yiburi inquired about what happened.

Because of a buffer time, these prisoners of war also learned that Song Ji had indeed returned, and continued to plan for Liang Yi. Song Ji doesn't matter, what else do they have to do with it?

So they answered one by one, basically according to what Wang An taught them.

"It's still the same reply, Western Xia can't win at all, but Wang Ju doesn't want to fight either, so let these people come back and persuade Western Xia to withdraw their troops. But there is one difference, that is, this withdrawal, Wang Ju did not guarantee anything.

In addition, it is different in three ways. First, more than 90,000 Song troops participated in the war. Same as what Song Ji said. The second is unexpected. But the Song Dynasty learned in advance that it was the same. The difference is the third one,

Song Ji said that the Liao State dispatched soldiers and horses on the desert to press behind the mountain, and it may not be long before the army will come to Fulin Road or Hedong Road. But the statement of these prisoners of war is that Wang Ju said that the Liao State could not be so stupid and would not send troops to help, but only perfunctory Western Xia. It's good to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

However, this difference will lead to very different results. Song Ji screamed sharply, "You lie! Generals, they all became spies of the Song Dynasty. ”

"You are the spy of the Song Dynasty."

"You killed so many soldiers, you were the one who harmed them."

These people are also different, but some of them do have a certain background, who is afraid of whom, at least there are so many of us, we will not be afraid of you, Song Ji.

"Don't make any noise, go down and rest together." Liang Yi said with a gloomy face.

He received the news of Dong Yu's attack on Hexi before Wang Ju. The Song army dispatched to Tiandu Mountain. burned down Tiandu Village and the Imperial Palace, but he was later than Wang Ju. Just got this message. However, there is no feedback from China.

That's when he's in a bad mood.

Just when he was depressed, Rindo Zero Ding rode over.

is to release prisoners of war, there is also a difference, the first release is the prisoner of war of the part of Ren Duo Lingding, and then the prisoner of war buried by Liang Yi and Liang Yongneng. This Ren Duo Ding didn't pay attention to it, but he paid attention to it, and guessed that it was the result of the distance.

He walked in and said, "Liang Xiangguo, Song Dingyan is lying. ”

"I didn't, it was these people who were bought by the Song Dynasty, and then that kid was released back to deceive people." Song Ji said slyly.

"Yes, that kid didn't have a good heart when he let them come back, and he didn't have a good heart when he let you back. I only want to ask you, after the Liao State sent troops to the mountain, the Song army had more than 90,000 soldiers and horses, and where did the private salt merchants hear the news that we will send troops to Gyeongju, did that kid tell you, or did you hear about it? ”

Renduo Lingding also knew that Song Ji was Liang Yi's henchman, and even Du La's death was mostly related to this Song Ji. However, for the survival of hundreds of thousands of troops, Song Ji had to be offended.

"General Nito, what do you mean?"

"I want you to tell the truth, or hundreds of thousands of troops will be buried in you lying."

"I'm telling the truth."

"Really?"

"Seriously."

"Xiangguo, the Song people released a group of people to your account, they used to send troops to Gyeongju City with Song Dingwu, can you summon me to ask."

"Ren Duo Lingding, if you have anything to say, you can say it."

"The enemy also released nearly 100 people, and when they returned to my tent, I summoned them for questioning, and found that they were similar to what Song Dingyan said, and the difference was whether the Liao State had sent troops."

"I'm not lying."

"Song Dingmi, you didn't lie about this, Guan Jian is these three pieces of news, where did you get it."

"Say!" Liang Yi shouted, he also woke up to the fact that something was wrong.

"If you don't say it, I know what happened. It happened that you sent troops to Gyeongju that day, and I sent people to bring grain over, and those grain officers stayed in your camp that night. Then you fled despite the three armies, and two of them fled with you. Then he was captured by the Song army, and the kid from the security army also looked at you, and said a word, and took you back to Gyeongju City and locked up in prison. Then he led the three armies to kill Yele Town. It just so happened that those two grain officers, along with others and some generals, were also put in prison with you. On the way, you were so frightened that you didn't say a word to Song Jun at all. The others were also scared and did not dare to talk to Song Jun. Where did you hear about it? Could it be that from the jail's mouth, they can know so much inside information? ”

It's a prison guard, that's impossible, there are dozens of cells in Gyeongju, so many prisoners of war are locked up, that cell is not full, if you check carefully, you can still find out, did Song Ji ask the prison guard.

Song Ji's face was like ashes.

"Song Dingxuan, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. One is from you, and the other is the security army's kid who intentionally sued you, the nature is different, do you understand? This is not the time for you to lie! ”

"Renduo Lingding, can you make it clearer."

"Daxiangguo, there is a reason why Wang Ju released people like this. He was a sign of weakness so that we would not withdraw our troops from Gyeongju. But if we don't withdraw our troops, what can we do with the Song people? Look at where Yonghe Village is, and then look at Rouyuan Village. As long as the Song people have the heart to defend. Don't say Gyeongju City. Even ordinary forts are not easy for us to overcome. But drag it out. We are getting more and more strained. It is precisely because of this delay that the main force is dragging in Gyeongju, and Dong Yu is now easily plundering in Hexi. ”

"General Rindo, go on."

"Even he has calculated, and when we see his peace letter, we are not willing to retreat, so we will start to find a way to solve it from other aspects, so we can only transfer cavalry from Tiandu Mountain. just made Tiandu Mountain's troops empty, and then used his relationship with Cai Ting to let Cai Ting send troops to Tiandu Mountain. This is not what I am worried about, the food is getting more and more scarce, and when there is really no food and grass in the hands, if you retreat, the three armies will inevitably panic. Also, since that kid can let Cai Ting send troops to Tiandu Mountain, why can't he let Hedong Road join forces with the officers and soldiers of Fuzhou and Yanzhou to send troops to Yinzhou Xiazhou. Two states and one break. Hundreds of thousands of troops are losing ground here, and our Great Xia is in danger. ”

It won't be as easy as Rindo Zero Ding says. Cai Ting's surprise attack on Tiandu Mountain, expensive is strange, and now the Song Dynasty wants to plot against the two states of Yinxia again, and the cities of these two states are built with tall city walls, which are so easy to break.

Moreover, after a kind of trickery, the people were poor, and coupled with the consumption of this war, the Song Dynasty did not have the financial support to fight the scale of the war as it grew.

"Also, Song Ding's contempt for the country is not shallow, please behead the Great Xiangguo, in order to calm the army's heart, if he told the truth at the beginning, we got these are all that the kid sued him, then we can still think carefully, we will not let the situation deteriorate to this point, and even withdraw the troops in advance, Tiandu Mountain will not lose."

"That Liao ......"

"It is impossible for the Liao State to send troops, if they do send troops, several days have passed, and the scouts will have been able to come back long ago to report the news. It was precisely because they did not send troops that the scouts continued to unwillingly probe in the Liao Realm, so they delayed time. ”

"But why did that kid release so many people?"

"Maybe they want us to continue to delay."

"Withdrawing troops?"

"Withdraw immediately."

"What about the Tibetan side?"

"On the way, I also thought that due to the terrain, although our army has a numerical advantage, it cannot devote all its forces to the attack. Yonghe Zhai is not Rouyuan Village, but it is better than Rouyuan Village. Besides, I heard news from the front that the Song army besieged the Tibetan Fortress with only about 10,000 troops, so where are the more than 10,000 people under Wang Ju's tent. In addition, if the siege of the Hidden Mountains cannot be resolved tomorrow, as long as the Song army shouts and the three armies are depressed, they will surrender one after another. ”

Speaking of which, Renduo is very miserable.

Obviously, there are still a lot of troops in the hands of Western Xia, and most of them are cavalry, but they are fighting like this.

Liang Yi was also miserable, he also heard about the situation in Yonghe Village, and even if he killed the horse and took meat to eat tomorrow, would he eat raw meat.

"Therefore, I immediately went back and gathered the three armies of Huai'an Town, and rushed to Xiguqi and even Yonghe Village overnight. Tomorrow will attack for one day, if you can save it, you will save it, and if you can't save it, you will immediately retreat from Malingchuan the day after tomorrow. As for the Great Xiangguo, you will immediately let the officers and soldiers of Donggu immediately withdraw to the side of Rouyuan Village overnight, and withdraw back to the country from the Xinjiang Ballast Fort early tomorrow morning. There was no room for delay, and the boy had some moving troops under his tent, and they were faster than the cavalry with the help of that skateboard. If you are not careful, even if you retreat, you will have a lot of casualties. ”

And the road of Anjiang Fort is small, if they all retreat from the road of Anjiang Fort, they will have to retreat until that day.

Therefore, Rindo and Zero Ding divided their troops and retreated.

Of course, he also had a fluke mentality, in case he could rescue Zang Kui, after all, it was more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, if it wasn't for such heavy casualties in front, in the past, it was more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it would have been painful to death.

However, there was one thing that was also overlooked.

These prisoners of war were released, and they couldn't be released in the Song Dynasty, they killed people, and most of them were people with status.

But these people have also made a confession, and no one is allowed to divulge the truth of their confession.

In addition, they made an appointment again, and they couldn't ask about Tiandu Mountain and Dong Yu in front of Liang Yi Bury Ren Duo Ling Ding, otherwise Liang Yi Bury Ren Duo Ling Ding would be suspicious.

But this was a thorn in their hearts, so when they went back to rest, the soldiers around them came to talk, and some of them asked vaguely with loose mouths.

These two pieces of news are only known to the upper generals, and the soldiers below do not know, they asked in vain, one by one did not know, and in turn asked them where they learned about it, and that dared to say. Some people were timid, and when they asked about grain and grass, the food became more and more scarce.

These people just confirmed, but there was a stalemate, and news of successive fiascos came one after another, and some people even didn't dare to sleep at night for fear that the Song army would attack the camp again. So the news spread quickly through the three camps.

This dealt an even more fatal blow to morale.

Liang Yibury hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "Just according to General Renduo's wishes." ”

The three armies ordered a retreat, the first to retreat was the main battalion of Renduo Lingding, which withdrew to Xigu, followed by the Xia army under Donggu, which withdrew to Rouyuanzhai. Bring the troops closer together overnight, otherwise it will be difficult to let the Song army divide the troops and eat them.

However, they were retreating closer, and the news soon spread to Gyeongju City.

"Yay!" Wang Ju clenched his fists and shouted happily.

After so many days, only Zhang Qi knew how much pressure Wang Ju was under.

But for the sake of the stability of the three armies, Wang Ju will not show it outside, and he looks like the clouds are light and the sky is high.

Han Jiang whispered around the wood stove: "It's finally a little lang (Xiao Lang, a child)." ”

Wang Jucai is not a child, but he is too happy. (To be continued......) R1292
