The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 244 Troubled
The spy finally rushed back to the camp in a hurry.

Wanyan Zongbi was woken up from his sleep, and he had just fallen asleep. In such an environment, it was impossible for him to fall asleep.

"Has the spy returned? But what happened unexpectedly?" Wanyan Zongbi asked suspiciously.

Brother Shan Yu had already arrived in his tent, he smiled wryly and said to Wan Yan Zongbi: "The situation is indeed a bit strange, the spies who came back from the north said they encountered a ghost twenty miles away."

"Meet a ghost?" Wanyan Zongbi frowned, but he didn't expect such a situation to happen.

"Where's the spy, but he's already returned to camp?" Wanyan Zongbi asked.

"I have already returned to the camp, but the whole person seems to have been frightened. I dare not stay in the tent alone. Now Qingjialu is interrogating him. Do you want to bring him here?" Brother Shanyu asked .

Wanyan Zongbi nodded, and said, "Bring someone over to see me." Along the way, things were too strange, so that he now felt threatened by danger.

"Have the other spies returned? Is there anything unusual?" Wanyan Zongbi asked.

Brother Shan Yu shook his head and said, "The other spies didn't find anything unusual. The Song army chasing from the south has already set up camp, and everything is normal."

Wanyan Zongbi nodded when he heard Brother Shan Yu's words, and said: "Let the spies continue to watch, and then inform the kitchen that dinner will be served at dawn tomorrow, and march immediately after eating. The situation in the north is not normal."

Brother Shan Yu was also a little nervous at this time, and he said to Wanyan Zongbi: "There shouldn't be any major problems in the north, the people sent by our army to ask for help are already on their way, and I believe we can reach Daming City tomorrow morning. Even if there is any unexpected situation in the north, as long as the army overwhelms us at that time, there is no need to worry about the threat of the Song army."

Wanyan Zongbi nodded, and said to Brother Shan Yu: "Of course I understand what you said, but I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, as if I missed something, but what is it? I didn't grasp the place, but I couldn't think of it."

Brother Shan Yu said to Wanyan Zongbi: "General, you are so nervous because you didn't sleep well at night. In fact, we are too nervous. Don't we know what level the Song Army is?"

Wanyan Zongbi shook his head and said: "You can't have this kind of thinking anymore, don't you realize that since the new king of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, during the battle between our army and the Song army, there hasn't been a single victory? ?”

Brother Shan Yu opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he was surprised to find that it seemed to be the case. Every time the Jin army rushed over aggressively, some cities might surrender directly, but these cities that surrendered directly To be honest, there are not many garrisons in it, but thinking about the situation of Jinjun fighting the main force of the Song army, it seems that there is really no victory.

"It seems that there is really no chance of a big victory." Brother Shan Yu curled his lips and said.

"I have observed the history of this nation, and I think that during the Tang Dynasty, the surrounding countries were the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, but after the Song Dynasty, their emperors valued literature over military affairs and were content with pleasure, which caused state affairs. It's deserted, now that their new king appoints virtuous ministers, I'm afraid the national power will flourish." Wanyan Zongbi said to Brother Shan Yu, as the most famous general in the Kingdom of Jin, he has studied the history of the Song Dynasty very thoroughly.

"General, what do you mean we can't win at all?" Brother Shan Yu asked.

Wanyan Zongbi nodded and said: "The Song Dynasty was rich and prosperous, and their papermaking, silkworm, and farming techniques far surpassed ours. This is equivalent to a war between a backward country and an advanced country. Think about how difficult it is."

"But the Song Dynasty was still oppressed by the Liao Kingdom at the beginning, and the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures were brought down by us and given to them, and even if it was given to them, wouldn't they be unable to hold it?" Shan Brother Yu said proudly.

"Didn't I tell you? That was before, and we can no longer look at the problem from the perspective of that time. Let's just say this time, the emperor of the Song Dynasty dared to conquest himself. If they are not fully sure, how dare they Personal conquest?" Wanyan Zongbi said.

Brother Shanyu was silent. Although what Wanyan Zongbi said was not pleasant, it was very practical, just like the Jurchen tribe. Except for Wanyan Agu's rebellion, after Wanyan Wu begged to buy and proclaimed himself emperor, there was no real imperial conquest After that, let's not talk about the later emperors. Wanyan Quan, who has passed away, admired the culture of the Han nationality very much. He thought about reciting poems all day long, and he would not think about the emperor's personal conquest.

But now, the emperor of the Song Dynasty actually came to conquest personally, and he acted vigorously and resolutely.

"General, according to what you say, is there no possibility for us to escape this time?" Brother Shan Yu frowned and said.

Wanyan Zongbi nodded, and said to Brother Shan Yu: "Although it's not so pessimistic, you still have to think a little bit more when encountering things. It's just like what the spies said about the haunted north. It's really strange."

"General, do you mean someone deliberately pretended to be a ghost?" Brother Shan Yu asked.

Wanyan Zongbi nodded, and said: "It's just a guess, it's not sure yet, we still have to wait for a clear question before drawing a conclusion."

As Wanyan Zongbi said, he called a few guards in, gave them some instructions in a low voice, and then those guards turned around and left.

The spy finally rushed over, and after seeing Wanyan Zongbi, he hurriedly said: "General, it's not good, there are ghosts in the north..."

Wanyan Zongbi waved his hand and said to the spy: "Ghost? Did you see the ghost?"

The spy shook his head and said: "That's not true, it's just that the two of us investigated together. Just after we finished talking about the ghosts and gods, the fifth child died, and the voice of the person was sometimes old, sometimes young, sometimes far away, sometimes Near, coming from all directions, that is simply not something a human voice can do..."

After Wanyan Zongbi listened carefully to what the spy said, he nodded and said, "So, you didn't see ghosts at all, but you just heard their voices?"

"General, what the villain said is absolutely true, if there is half a lie, there will be a thunderbolt!" said the spy.
