The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 924 The army retreats
A battle that was originally in the dark, ended abruptly amidst the sudden sound of the New Song Army's golden bell.

The New Song Army retreated northward.

Liu Zijun and the others did not lead the army to chase and kill them, they just stood there and watched suspiciously.

They were not as strong as the New Song Army, and the New Song Army retreated too abruptly. They also suspected whether the New Song Army was cheating.

Although the news of Hengshanzhai's victory had already been received in the Kuizhou Mansion, who would have thought that the New Song Army had just received the news?

The new Song army retreating north was densely packed.

In the army, some generals drove their horses beside the chariot of the deputy palace master of Guigu.

The deputy palace master of Pojun hurried past behind the army and floated directly into the chariot.

As soon as he arrived in the chariot, he turned to the deputy palace master of Guigu and asked, "Why did you withdraw the troops suddenly?"

This is undoubtedly a question.

There was even a slight murderous intent in the eyes of the Deputy Palace Master Po Jun.

The Vice Palace Mistress Guigu picked up the letter on the low table and handed it to the Vice Palace Mistress Pojun, "This is an order from the Emperor, take a look."

When Po Jun's deputy Palace Master received the letter, his expression suddenly changed, "Chi Fenggu, the prince is defeated?"

Even he knew the names of the two great talents of Guigu Academy.

The deputy palace master of Guigu nodded lightly, "The emperor's three-way army attacked the Song Dynasty, and now two of them have been broken. Only Feng Hebi is left, and it is also a lonely army that goes deep, and it is difficult to turn back..."

"How could this be?"

The Deputy Palace Mistress Po Jun frowned, with a look of evil on his face, "Isn't your Palace Mistress sitting in the imperial city?"

"so what?"

The deputy palace master of Guigu asked: "You have seen how powerful the Song army is. How can the palace master plan the strategy, and how can he expect that more than [-] troops will be defeated by a mere tens of thousands of Song troops?"

The Vice Palace Mistress Po Jun was silent.

The surrounding generals were surprised when they heard the conversation between the two.It was also silent at the moment.

Yes.

Who would have imagined that an army of more than [-] troops would be defeated by a mere tens of thousands of Song troops?

Moreover, the [-] troops of Yue Li Chaoke were also wiped out by the Song army.

It wasn't that there was something wrong with the arrangement of the Palace Master of Guigu and the emperor, but that the fighting power of the Song army was really too strong.

If the Song Army had only the same fighting power as the Dali Army, Guangnan West Road would have been taken by the Dali Army at this time.

Only ten seconds later, the Deputy Palace Master Pojun said again: "Even if the emperor sends a message, there is no need to rush to withdraw the troops, right? I want to cut down the flag of the commander-in-chief of the Song army, why not destroy the Song army first?"

The Deputy Palace Master of Guigu looked at the chessboard in front of him, "If the overall situation is lost, what if we destroy these two Song armies, or even capture Kuizhou Mansion?"

He murmured and sighed: "It is better to lose a son than to lose the first... Now our court has already slaughtered two big dragons by the Song army. Even if we slaughter this big dragon here, it will be useless to the overall situation. At this moment Only by returning to Shuzhong can we have a chance to make a comeback. Just like this, it depends on whether the Yuan Dynasty will continue to put pressure on the Song Kingdom... Otherwise, our dynasty will definitely be in a difficult situation..."

The Vice Palace Mistress Po Jun was sad again.

He doesn't know much about military affairs, but he can understand how serious the current situation is for them after listening to the words of the Deputy Palace Master of Guigu.

Under the city of Kuizhou Prefecture.

Liu Zijun arrived first with his cavalry.

No one knows what trajectory the New Song Army is playing. At this moment, entering the city to help defend is the top priority.At this time, they didn't even bother to clean up the corpses of soldiers.

Zhao and Luo stood outside the corridor.

Seeing Liu Zijun galloping towards him, he lightly cupped his hands towards Liu Zijun and said, "Commander Liu, it's been a long time."

The two had met on the battlefield on Guangnan West Road.

Liu Zijun got off his horse in front of the corridor, "Mr. Zhao Jiedu!"

Zhao Yuluo looked outside and said, "It's fortunate that you came in time, otherwise this Kuizhou Mansion would be in danger. On behalf of the people of Kuizhou Mansion, I would like to thank you all."

He bowed deeply to Liu Zijun and the great Song cavalry behind Liu Zijun.

And behind him, the civil servants and generals in Kuizhou Mansion also bowed at this moment.

Just now, Da Song Tieqi was rushing outside, and they all saw it.Especially when the big song cavalry charged under the cannon fire, they watched from the top of the city, all moved.

"Lord Zhao can't do it."

Liu Zijun hurriedly supported Zhao Yuluo, and said, "We are soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and these are our duties."

Then everyone laughed lightly.

After laughing, Liu Zijun asked Zhao Yuluo with doubts, "Lord Zhao, the New Song Army clearly hopes to take this Kuizhou Mansion. Do you know why they retreated like this?"

Zhao Yuluo pondered and said: "I am also puzzled by it. Maybe... it's a trick..."

He looked at the heavily armored imperial cavalry behind him again, "Commander Liu, your soldiers are so good at fighting, it may make them feel pressure. So I want to lure you away with this, and take this Kuizhou after you are killed and retreated." The city is not impossible."

"I thought the same way before."

Liu Zijun frowned and said, "Just thinking about it, the New Song Army retreated in a hurry, and didn't intend to attract us to pursue it. This really confuses me."

Zhao Yuluo shook his head and chuckled, "Then let's not think about it. In short, Commander Liu and your army enter the city, and I am confident that Kuizhou Mansion will not be lost."

Everyone laughed lightly again.

Not long after, Xiao Yulin also arrived with his infantry.

As soon as he arrived at the city, he met Li with Zhao Yuluo and others, and they asked almost the same question.

Naturally, there is still no answer.

Some of the Tianxiong and Tianjie armies entered the barracks, and some went to the top of the city.

When the two armies deployed grenades and sky cannons on the top of the city, it made the Kuizhou Mansion even more like an iron barrel.

Zhao Yuluo and others brought Xiao Yulin, Liu Zijun and others to the government office and hosted a banquet.

It was during the banquet that Zhao and Luo suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed: "I may know why the New Song Army hastily retreated."

Liu Zijun and the others all looked at him.

Zhao Yuluo held up his wine glass and continued: "This officer received a secret letter from the emperor this morning. Our Chaotianji, Tianxian and other troops have won a complete victory in Hengshanzhai. Dali's tens of thousands of troops have been defeated for more than ten consecutive years. Here, the rebel army trampled on them, causing countless casualties. Changsha City is much closer to Kuizhou than Dali Imperial City to Kuizhou, so maybe the New Song Army just learned about Hengshan Village."

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Dali's army was defeated, and Dali and Shuzhong were all empty. How dare these new Song troops continue to deal with our army in this Kuizhou territory?"

Liu Zijun and others were moved.

Xiao Yulin clapped his legs and said: "If we had known this, we should have led our troops to pursue them just now. We just need to entangle them, and when Marshal Yue and his army arrive, they will surely wipe out these New Song troops. By then, New Song, There will be no more troops in Dali to resist our imperial cavalry, and it will not take long for both places to belong to our Song territory. What a pity, what a pity!"

Many generals also showed remorse on their faces.

It's a pity that they didn't know the news about Hengshan Village earlier, otherwise, they wouldn't even have to fight with the New Song Army, they just need to block their way back to Shuzhong.

But at this time, Zhao Yuluo waved his hands with a smile, and said, "Commander Xiao doesn't have to regret it. The strength of the New Song Army is no more than that. When I attack Shu, they will also be hard to resist. And have you ever thought about it?" However, if you push this new Song army too hard and make them jump over the wall in a hurry, it is inevitable that people in Kuizhou will be devastated..."

The generals were slightly stunned, then nodded slightly.

Zhao and Luo were right.

If you really want to drive those new Song soldiers into a corner, if they don't surrender.It is not easy to destroy hundreds of thousands of people.

Moreover, this new Song army is not so easy to deal with. At that time, more people in Kuizhou will always be affected.

After the banquet was over, everyone no longer worried that the New Song Army would return to the carbine.

Most of the city leaders and soldiers went down to the city and returned to the barracks.

The tense atmosphere in Kuizhou Mansion quietly dissipated a lot.

Zhao Yuluo and others sent pigeons to Changsha to report the matter to Zhao Dongting.

As the New Song Army retreated northward, it was probably impossible to return to central Sichuan from Chongqing or Dazhou, and it was very likely to detour through Lizhou East Road.

There should be no more wars in Kuizhou.

As for whether the troops in Kuizhou pursue the New Song Army northward, or rush eastward to aid Jiangling Mansion and other places, these naturally have to be decided by Zhao Dongting.

That day and night, the flying pigeon landed in the Changsha Palace.

When Zhao Dongting was teasing Zhao An and Zhao Ru in the bedroom with Le Chan and other women, Yi Shiyu hurried into the palace.

After Zhao Dongting read the letter, he didn't care to tease the two little guys any more, and shut himself in the room.

He looked at the map hanging on the wall and pondered for a long time.

The retreat of the New Song Army is of course a happy event, but whether the army will pursue it or not requires careful consideration.
