The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 515 Zhang Wang Waiting
Not to mention how Xin Xingzong and Guo Yaoshi intrigued, but also said that there was also an internal struggle at the Liao army camp in the far north at this time.

It turned out that Yelu Yanxi was timid again when he saw the Jin army coming in large-scale, and the tribes along the way couldn't stop him, and he felt like running away.

It's just that this time when he put forward this suggestion, he was strongly opposed by the ministers headed by Yelu Dashi. The most surprising thing is that even Yeluding, the king of Qin who used to be obsequious, also sang the opposite tune this time, which made everyone excited. Eye-popping.

But they didn't think about it, the reason why Yelvding stood up to fight against his father was purely because of his pride.Thinking that he has been reduced from a dignified prince of the empire to a bereaved dog, the psychological gap is already huge, but his father is still not resting, and every time he sees the enemy, he will run away at the wind, which makes him unable to bear it anymore.

"Father, we fled all the way from Shangjing to this place. When is this the end? According to my son, we might as well fight the Jurchen barbarians!"

Yelu Yanxi was immediately annoyed by his son's rebuttal, "You are clearly a child's opinion, those Jurchen savages are so fierce, how can we be their opponents?"

Ye Lvding also went all out, and responded bluntly, "Where can we escape now, the emperor's actions are worthy of the ancestors?"

"You bastard! How dare you talk to me like that, someone..."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. His Royal Highness King Qin was just impatient, and did not intend to disobey his father."

Seeing that his nephew was in trouble, Xiao Feng couldn't sit still anymore, so he hurriedly stood up to smooth things over. He first persuaded Yelu Yanxi, then gave Yelvding a wink, and said, "Your Highness, don't plead guilty to His Majesty! Even if His Highness Worried about your father's safety, you shouldn't be so impatient."

The moment Yelu Yanxi got angry, Yeluding had already regretted it. Seeing that his uncle had sent him the steps, he hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, knelt down and worshiped.
"Father forgives the sin, the son-in-law did not intend to resist the order, but we have nowhere to go right now, we can't hide in Mobei, right?"

At this moment, Yelu Yanxi finally announced his agreement with Mu Xu, and he said with a smug expression on his face, "It's okay, I have an agreement with that kid Mu Xu, if something goes wrong, we can hide." Go to the territory of Yundi to avoid misfortune. Thinking about the Great Wall Fortress as a screen, those Jurchen savages are helpless!"

Looking at Yelu Yanxi who was full of complacency, Yelu Dashi shook his head in his heart, and couldn't help pouring cold water on him, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to send someone under the fence. If Mu Xu has a slightly different heart, what can I do then?"

"Don't worry too much, kid Mu is my son-in-law, so why would he tie me up and offer it to Wanyan Ah Gu?"

"Your Majesty, don't forget that although he will not be associated with the Jin people, he is a minister of the Southern Dynasty and also the son-in-law of the Song Dynasty emperor."

"This..." Hearing this, Yelu Yanxi couldn't help comparing it in his heart, and found that his father-in-law only had a false name at present, and he seemed to be really inferior to Zhao Ji.

Thinking of this, he suddenly hesitated, so he subconsciously went to see Xiao Fengxian, wanting to hear his idea.

Xiao Fengxian understood, and quickly suggested, "Your Majesty, this matter is easy to handle, how about a compromise?"

"Prime Minister, tell me quickly."

"Yes, I think so. Your Majesty can retreat to the vicinity of the Dushikou Fortress first, and wait there to watch the changes. If the Jin people are unstoppable, then go to the cloud to hide, otherwise, come back. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

As soon as this remark came out, Yelu Yanxi immediately clapped his hands, and couldn't stop praising Xiao Fengxian for being mature and prudent, while Yelu Dashi was in a hurry, thinking that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, so he said,
"Your Majesty, who should lead the troops to resist the Jin people?"

Yelu Yanxi was stunned for a moment, his eyes naturally fell on Yelu Dashi's face, and when he was about to speak, he didn't want Xiao Fengxian to say, "I suggest that General Xiao Ping be the commander, and Lin Ya Dashi be the deputy."

But Xiao Fengxian suddenly remembered that there were rumors that Yelu Dashi might have the will to stand on his own, so he hurriedly spoke to stop it.

Yelu Dashi felt great hatred in his heart, and secretly scolded Xiao Fengxian for being troublesome.

Sure enough, after Yelu Yanxi heard Xiao Fengxian's words, he immediately changed his mind and appointed his pro-army commander Xiao Ping as the commander-in-chief, and Yelu Dashi as his deputy, to fight against the Jin people.He himself packed up his gold and silver belongings, took his concubines and children, and close officials such as Xiao Fengxian, and under the protection of two thousand personal guards, he fled straight to the side wall of Yundi.

It is said that after Yelu Yanxi left, Xiao Ping immediately beat the drums and gathered the generals, wanting to discuss with his subordinates how to proceed, but when they heard that they were going to fight the Jinren, all the generals talked about him, none of them Willing to volunteer.

Seeing this, Yelu Dashi's thoughts came alive again, and he said at the right time, "The Jin people are coming aggressively this time, and with the Song army as their accomplices, they are invincible. It is better to avoid their edge for the time being. other."

Xiao Ping thought for a moment, but he had to admit that his words were reasonable, and said, "Lin Ya can explain in detail!"

Yelu Dashi talked eloquently, "At present, the enemy troops come from two routes, although there are only [-] Jinmen on the east route, everyone knows how powerful these barbarians are, let alone that Wanyan Aguda personally leads the army this time.

Therefore, this official suggests that we only need to send a partial division as a suspect to hold back the Jin army, so that they cannot support the Song army, and they cannot threaten His Majesty's safety.The remaining main force quickly went south, waiting to defeat the Song army, and then returned to the division to fight the Jin people. "

Xiao Ping hesitated, "Is Lin Ya underestimating Song Jun too much? I heard that they have nearly [-] troops here this time."

"General Xiao, don't worry, I have been in Nanjing for many years, and I know the Song army's combat power very well, and I have a strategy to defeat the enemy. If the general doesn't believe it, a certain family can issue a military order!"

Seeing Yelu Dashi's swearing, Xiao Ping was finally moved by him, and immediately said, "Okay, since Lin Ya said so, the general will not ask you how to defeat the enemy, just wait and see."

After all, Xiao Ping divided the army into two parts. He himself led more than [-] people to contain the Jin army, and the remaining nearly [-] elite were handed over to Yelu Dashi, who was responsible for solving the threat of the Song army.

In this way, although Xiao Fengxian was in the way, because he forgot to tell Xiao Ping before he left, Yelu Dashi was still superior in skill, and after some tricks, he still took most of the military power into his hands.

Fortunately, at this time, Yelu Dashi still did not give up on the old place of Daliao, so he did not choose to go west. Instead, he led the troops to the south as he said, and at the same time sent a messenger to contact Xiao Qian. .

……

Turning his gaze back to the pass, he said that Xin Xingzong commanded [-] soldiers and horses, and in order not to miss the time agreed with the Jinren, he ordered the whole army to march all the way.

After leaving Gubeikou on July [-], the army marched northwest.

On the way, Pharmacist Guo made several remarks, reminding Xin Xingzong that the grasslands outside the pass were not dangerous to defend, and it was extremely unfavorable for the infantry to advance.

It's a pity that Xin Xingzong harbored resentment towards Guo Yaoshi, so he didn't care about what he said.In addition, in his opinion, the Liao people are now just a trapped beast, and it is difficult to defend against the Jin people, so how can they send troops and horses to take the initiative to cause trouble?

It is precisely because of this mentality that Xin Xingzong only sent scouts to detect more than [-] miles around the army, and did not continue to investigate the periphery. This also laid the groundwork for the subsequent defeat of the Song army.

Because Xin Xingzong never expected that when he led his army out of Gubeikou and entered the grassland for more than a hundred miles, he would be targeted by Yelu Dashi's spies.

After careful observation, it was found that the Song Army did not send many scouts during this march, Yelu Dashi was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the army to spread out in front of the Song Army like a big net, and sent another Jingqi circled to the rear, intending to completely cut off his way back once he received Xiao Qian's message.

As time passed day by day, the Song army was so defenseless, stepping into the ambush circle of the Liao army little by little.

On the seventh day after leaving customs, that is, on the evening of the fifth day of the eighth month, Xin Xingzong had dinner and was about to rest when he suddenly heard the sound of horns in a hurry outside.

After distinguishing that this was a warning signal, Xin Xingzong turned pale with fright, hurriedly put on his armor, and walked out of the tent in three or two steps with his weapon in hand, but he saw that the camp was in chaos at this time, and the soldiers were all in disarray. run down.

Seeing this scene, Xin Xingzong's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't care about rectifying military discipline. He grabbed the soldiers who ran past him one by one, and asked sharply, "What happened?"

The soldier replied tremblingly, "I don't know, I just heard that there are enemy troops attacking the camp..."

"A bunch of waste!" Xin Xingzong pushed away the soldiers, cursed, and then found the herald and ordered him to pass down the order to make all the generals under his command prepare for war.

But there was still no time at this time. The incoming Liao army was originally cavalry, and they were on the endless grassland. The speed can be imagined. Kill special kill, set fire everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, the Song army's camp was ablaze, and there were soldiers running away like headless chickens everywhere. Some generals also ran away when they saw that the situation was not good.

This is even more serious. Originally, the Song army was only in chaos in the front battalion, but the back battalion still had the power to fight, but it was rushed by the rout of the army, and the entire camp was in chaos. It was really defeated for a while .

Another important reason why Song Jun was so powerless to fight back was that the timing of Yelu Dashi's selection was extremely ingenious.

As we all know, because the Han people in the Central Plains seldom eat meat, many people do not eat enough protein, and they go blind when they open their eyes at night.

Yelu Dashi is a caring person. Although he doesn't understand this pathology, he has seen many such examples in his many years of living in Han, and using it today, it really has a miraculous effect.

Facing the tide-like attack of the Liao army, Xin Xingzong couldn't hold on after organizing resistance for a period of time, so he could only leave the army and flee.

Among the fleeing crowd, Song Jiang was also on the list, but the direction of escape was different from Xin Xingzong. When the army collapsed, Song Jiang fled south with his troops.

It turned out that it was Wu Yong who persuaded, "Brother, the Liao people came here today obviously, if they flee the way they came from, nine out of ten they will encounter obstacles. In Xiaosheng's opinion, we should go south. It’s best to return to Yanjing through the cloud.”

Hearing this, Song Jiang immediately refused without thinking, "Yundi is Mu Xu's territory, and he has a lot of quarrels with us. If we go rashly, will his people turn us away?" outside?"

Wu Yong said with a wry smile, "At this point, I have no choice but to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I hope that Mu Xunian will give us a hand for the sake of being a Song official, otherwise, on this vast grassland, we will be killed by the Liao army's iron cavalry." If we catch up, we will be wiped out."

After thinking about it, Song Jiang still couldn't let go of the power he had worked hard for for many years. He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Then go to Yundi, it's better than going east."

In this way, at Wu Yong's suggestion, Song Jiang led his men and horses to break away from the fleeing large troops of the Song Army during the turmoil, and ran all the way towards Dushikou under the cover of night.

In fact, Wu Yong was not the only smart person in the Song Army. Han Shizhong, who was serving under Xin Xingzong's tent at this time, also thought of this. Flee south.

Just like this, Song Jiang and Han Shizhong's troops joined together, and while the Liao army was chasing the main force of the Song army, they fled to Yundi, thus escaping a catastrophe.

As for the Song army left by Xin Xingzong, they did not have such good luck. On the vast grassland, they were chased by the Liao army with no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

Except for a small number of cavalry who escaped from the encirclement of the Liao army relying on the strength of their horses, most of the cavalry were either trampled to death at night, or died under the Liao army's sword, or became prisoners of the Liao army.

It was night, and the Song army suffered an unprecedented defeat.At dawn the next day, Xin Xingzong and Guo Yaoshi, who escaped from the sky, rounded up the defeated soldiers. After some calculations, they found that there were only about [-] remnants left.

At this time, Xin Xingzong didn't care to say goodbye to Guo Yaoshi, and after a short rest, he invited him here to discuss how to deal with the aftermath.

When Guo Yaoshi saw Xin Xingzong, he wished he could tear him apart. In his opinion, if he hadn't acted arbitrarily and refused to listen to good advice, how could he have ended up in such a situation?

The words of accusation came to his lips, but Guo Yaoshi held back. After all, this is not the time to investigate who is right and who is wrong. Thinking about the pursuit of the Liao people who may come at any time, how to get back safely is the most important thing at hand.

"Marshal, in this situation, what else is there to say, the most important thing is to find a way to escape back first."

"I just want to discuss with you how to escape the follow-up pursuit of the Liao army. If I don't think of a way, I'm afraid I will die outside the pass."

Guo Yaoshi is not stupid, he heard Xin Xingzong's implication, he looked around, saw no one else, then asked in a low voice, "What does the commander mean, to keep someone out?"

Xin Xingzong nodded slightly, and replied in a low voice, "That's right, we are outside the pass now, we have lost all our supplies, and there is no danger nearby. To Yandi!"

　It has been edited, and I apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone here.
