(Fengqi Wutong 626, it's so fierce! Every day, it's so powerful!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the moment he received the news that Wu Shu's 50,000 army was destroyed, Wanyan Zongfu knew that his political and military career was over. Not only him, but also his Great Jin Kingdom, from now on, he could never continue.

From the peak of the three years of Tianhui to the eighth year of Tianhui (1125-1130), the peak of the golden five years, shedding horses every year, and gaining all the wealth of the Han family.

Fifty thousand army! Nearly half are purely the elite soldiers of the Jurchens, the essence of the entire Eastern Army. There are also the princes of the Great Jin Kingdom and the four war-produced Tomo-level generals, all submerged in a winding river.

inside!

Huang Tiandang! Yangtze River! Han Shizhong! Tianbo Master!

Wanyan Zongfu's mind was tossing and turning, and his head was as painful as an explosion.

The lobby was in a mess: the military newspaper was crumpled into pieces of debris, the paper scraps were spilled all over the floor, the table was chopped into pieces, the jujube and wood chairs were spoiled... Wanyan Zongfu sat in this place like a garbage dump with his head in his arms,

Don't speak for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, Hezha’s careful question came from outside the hall: “Second coach, can you clean it up?”

Without answering, Heza was in a dilemma and was in a clear voice from behind: "Cleaning it quickly, the deputy commander is about to be promoted to the tent."

Hearing this voice, Wanyan Zongfu finally moved and slowly raised his head. In just half a day, Zongfu's head had a few strands of silver threads. His beard was black and white, and the typical round cake face of the Aguda family.

It actually stretched out to a pig's waist, and its eyes were covered with bloodshot.

"I'm so lazy... You're back, how many soldiers are you bringing back?" The first thing a deputy marshal who was in charge of tens of thousands of troops asked when he saw his generals was this. He was really shocked.

Those who hear it feel sad.

The visitor was covered with thick armor, covered with a thick layer of loess, which covered the original color of the armor. The gold would be very young. Despite the dust and the hair and beards, it was still obvious that he was a young man in his twenties.

.

The young Jin Jiang bowed a long time, and his voice was slightly choked: "Yes. Wanyan Yanying is back. The troops of his troops are 4,000, and there is no major damage. The plundering of property is indefinitely. Please rest assured."

This young Jin general was the son of Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Yanying, nicknamed Talan. Sixteen joined the army, from destroying Liao, destroying Taiyuan, attacking Dongping Prefecture, chasing the Song Lord, and taking over Jingnan.

He fought all the way east and west and made great contributions. He is only twenty-four years old and is already the youngest general in the Jindong Route Army.

When Taizu Aguda Shang Jian was aware of this Wanyan Yan Ying. Wanyan Zongfu's ability in commanding operations may not be as good as that of several brothers, but he still has some insight in identifying people. He entrusted the important tasks of Wanyan Yan Ying, which made him

Lead the army alone and plunder Jingnan.

Wanyan Qiying did not disappoint his high expectations and attacked all the way. When the Jin army was blocked in Tanzhou, when Changwu was in Changwu, he defeated thousands of troops with hundreds of cavalry, and the Song army fled. Just as he was driving his troops to go deeper into the south, he received the right deputy marshal.

The mansion urgently ordered the army to move the troops immediately. Wanyan Qiying was far away from the main battlefield in Jiangnan and had not yet learned about the destruction of the Wushu army. He believed that it was a routine end to the Nanluo from summer to autumn. He was now full of plunder along the way and returned with a full load.

However, when Wanyan's army was passing through the Jianghuai River, they heard rumors of the Huang Tiandang Battle. Wanyan's army was shocked and realized that something was wrong, so they hurriedly accelerated their march and were the first to rush back to Kaifeng.

Wanyan Zongfu didn't want to lose his composure in front of his subordinates and juniors, so he reluctantly cheered up and nodded: "Just bring the troops back intact. In a few days, I guess the 30,000 troops of the Left Supervisor Army and the 5,000 troops of Ulindatai, and

There are scattered Jianghuai, and the troops from all over the west of Beijing will also be gathered together... It's time for us to go home."

Wanyan Qiying was a little disbelief: "The battle between Huang Tiandang, including the Fourth Prince, was wiped out by the entire army... seriously?"

Wanyan Zongfu said mutely: "If it were the Song army, it would be impossible; but there is nothing impossible for the Tianzhu army..."

Wanyan Qiying clenched her fists and said, "This Tianzhu Army really wants to fight with me! My Mama's hatred..."

Wanyan Zongfu looked at the young and sharp general with his eyes and said indifferently: "Silver Technique is my rare long-time general. He has almost no defeat in his life, but he died overnight when he reinforces Taiyuan...

, You are still young and it is good to have a sharp spirit, but you must not underestimate the enemy impulsively."

Wanyan Qiying said anxiously: "But, we are defeated like this? I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the Central Plains next year! Why not take advantage of the opportunity of the gathering of the army and launch troops to Luoyang, attack Tongguan, and see the true sign with the Tianzhu Army? At this time,

If it is not eliminated, it will be a problem for my Dajin confidant in the future."

Wanyan Zongfu sighed and said, "The Tianzhu Army has long been a problem with my great Jin confidant. Xi Hu is too late... From now on, the offensive and defensive momentum is easy, and our army is no longer able to launch a strong attack on the Tianzhu Army. The Tianzhu Army is in Beijing

The mansion, on Yongxing Army Road, has gathered more than 60,000 troops. With my 80,000 long battle with the tired army, how can I confront the elite troops who are in danger and waiting for their hard work? I dare say, if we do this, Di

Liezheng couldn't get it."

The ideas of Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Yanying represent the current dilemma of the Jin army: whether to fight! Or withdraw!

Battle! With the long-lasting army of the Jin army's southern expedition, they are very happy to return home, and with midsummer approaching, this kind of fighting method that is good at the right time, place, people and people are not in trouble. The chances of winning against powerful opponents who are waiting for their work are too low.

Maybe if you pay the Wushu army, you have to pay the entire Eastern Army. As the commander of the Eastern Army, Wanyan Zongfu cannot afford this risk or this responsibility. Wushu army is over, Wanyan Zongfu's military affairs

His life is over; if the Eastern Army is over, his life in Wanyan Zongfu can be explained here.

Withdraw! I am afraid I will never be able to set foot in the Central Plains again. Even the two rivers, Zhending, Zhongshan, and Yanjing have to give up - the territory doesn't matter, the Jin Kingdom is big enough, and I don't care about this plain, the most

The main thing is that I can't swallow this breath! I was drowned by the enemy and killed 50,000 people, killed a prince, captured and killed several generals, and destroyed the essence of the Eastern Army... I just left it like this, how about

Explain to the court? How to explain to the soldiers of the Eastern Route Army? How to explain to the women in China who are looking forward to bringing back a large amount of spoils and slaves as before?

Fight or withdraw? This is really a problem.

On the first day of March, after nearly a month of convening, most of the Jin troops in the Nanluo area, which were spread across Jingdong and Jianghuai routes, returned to Kaifeng one after another, or were on the march.

In the Kaifeng Prefecture Yazheng Hall, Wanyan Zongfu convened generals of the army to discuss the issue of whether to fight or withdraw.

I have to say that Wanyan Zongfu was a very cautious person. Although he occupied the ancient capital of the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zongfu was in the Kaifeng Prefecture Office, whether he was building the right deputy marshal's tent, or gathering and discussing matters.

Left behind the palace. In the imperial palace that is close to the close, you will never stay overnight except to visit the palace to avoid being caught.

The senior generals scattered in the Southern Dynasties, except for the dead and missing, almost all of them were present - Marshal Left Supervisor Wanyan Chang, Henan Deputy Chief Wanyan Balisu, and Yangzhou Chief Wulin Datai

, Zhenzhou governor Wanyan Yanying...

Wanyan Zongfu looked at the few generals and the empty seats. He couldn't speak for a moment.

Half a year ago, how many elites from the Eastern Army gathered here: Wushu, Xiemao Ali, Chizhanhui, Wuyanpu Luhun, Yelu Mawu, Han Chang, Wanyan Saili... But now...

"Are Saili and Olu still there?" Wanyan Zongfu's opening remarks began by asking about the whereabouts of these two generals.

"No..." Ba Lisu looked heavy, "I will be incompetent, I will investigate for several months, exhaust all my skills, but there is still no news yet..."

"Forget..." Wanyan Zongfu helped his forehead and sighed. The collective disappearance of a hundred people bothered him for three months and it was still unsolvable. He had also suspected that the Tianzhu Army, but Junzhou was indeed from Shangzhou.

It is unlikely that there is a Dengzhou in the middle. If you want to cross the enemy-occupied area to carry out such a beheading operation, how high should the intelligence accuracy and operational ability be? It is far beyond the execution of military soldiers in this era.

The ability is completely unimaginable.

This is actually due to Di Lie's good confidentiality measures. So far, no one in the Jindong Route Army has known that it was him, the commander of the Tianzhu Army, commanding a battle of Huang Tiandang. He would not know that he would leave after the battle.

He ran overseas to capture the dragon. If Di Lie's whereabouts were leaked, Wanyan Zongfu just had to use his brain to draw out his southward route and travel time on the map, it would be not difficult to infer the real murderer of this headless missing case.

Unfortunately, Di Lie's whereabouts were still a mystery to the Jin army, so Wanyan Zongfu could only continue to be confused and had no solution.

The Jindong Route Army scattered in the Southern Dynasties, and there are still two main forces that have not moved: one is the Jin army of Henan Prefecture who can drive Lisu, and the other is the more than 10,000 baggage troops who can move Gu.

The 20,000 troops who drove Lisu were ordered by Wanyan Zongfu, and were on standby on the spot, and were not allowed to leave without leaving. They had to defend against the enemies of Shaanxi, Guo and Jingzhao Prefecture. The more than 10,000 troops who had assassinated Gu were Wanyan.

Chang left behind.

After conquering Qingzhou, Dongping Prefecture and Xuzhou, the logistics supply base of the Song army in Jiangnan, Wanyan Chang seized a large amount of supplies. The harvest was more than Wanyan Zongfu, who occupied Tokyo and Wanyan Saili, who captured Henan Prefecture, and second only to

The capture of Wushu Army. Most of the supplies are concentrated in Taizhou. If you bring this huge amount of supplies on the road, the road will be muddy and difficult to walk during this rainy season. I guess you may not be able to reach Kaifeng by mid-March. Therefore,

Yan Chang led 20,000 troops to the road lightly, leaving more than a thousand regular soldiers and more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, and slowly transporting supplies from behind.

Since the robbers of the Shoutou Lake fled overseas, Zhao Li died in battle in Chuzhou, Shao Qing's remaining troops were defeated, and the Jin army occupied Chuzhou again, the Huaibei area was already the world of the Jin army and was safe. Therefore, Wanyan Chang would be relieved to lead the main force first.

Go north and let Zhizhao Gu clean up his hands behind him.

At this point, the main generals of the Jin army and 40,000 troops have been concentrated in Kaifeng. In addition to the 20,000 troops of the Lisuo, there are still about 20,000 troops, and they are ready to go on the road or on the road. The northward retreat is carried out in an orderly manner according to Wanyan Zongfu's plan.

Then, now we have to see whether we leave directly or fight and leave.

Wanyan Zongfu told the generals one by one the results of the battle between Huang Tiandang. After a long period of pain, Wanyan Zongfu seemed much calmer and returned to his usual calmness.

Most of the generals here know this news, and Wanyan Chang almost participated in the battle, so he was the first to receive the news of his defeat. Only Balisu, the farthest from the main battlefield, can only listen to it

It is the first time I have heard of the rumors and the truth.

Balisu was once a general under Wushu's tent, and he was the first Jin general to reach Yangzhou. He never thought that, in just a few months, the coach and robes who were riding together that day, fought together and fought.

Both of them were destroyed and even destroyed 50,000 troops. Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, how could there have been such a crushing defeat?

After being shocked and hated, Balisu said decisively: "Fight! Fight must be fought! If you don't fight at this time, our army will meet the Tianzhu army again in the future, and I am afraid that we will no longer have the courage to fight decisively. From then on, we can only shrink north of the Great Wall and wait

The Tianzhu Army will fight if you want, and leave if you want. In this way, the Great Jin Dynasty will be in danger!"

Balisu is a veteran, and he cannot not know that the Jindong Route Army is in poor condition and has a great loss of strength. It is not appropriate to fight continuously at this time. However, he still insists on fighting one battle, and it makes sense.

All the generals present are long-standing generals and generals who have been through battle formations and have a deep sense of concern about Ba Lisu. After suffering such a big defeat and losing so much, they just fled back to their country with their tails in their arms. In the future, they will not be able to continue to do so.

The question of whether the army can enter the Central Plains is whether it dares to confront the Tianzhu Army. If an army loses the courage to draw swords at the enemy, it will be over. The Jurchens who emerged from the white mountains and black waters are more important than

Everyone understands this truth.

However, among the generals here, I'm afraid only Wanyan Zongfu truly understands how terrifying the opponent is. Since the fifth year of Tianhui's attack on Taihang, Wanyan Zongfu has been dealing with the Tianzhu Army, and all the generals under his command have fought with the Tianzhu Army.

All of them, basically no one has ever won, and there are not too many losses in the army. He knows the terribleness of this army. Three years ago, when this army was just a tiger cub, it made the enemy bite so hard that it hurt. Now it has

How can the Jin army grow up to be a roaring tiger and like a wolf?

Fighting may not necessarily restore morale to the army; but if you don’t fight, you may really have the extremely bad situation mentioned by Balisu.

Beat or not? It’s so entangled!
