“What do you guys think about that?” Tong Guan looked at Yuwen Changling and Fan Boring.

“Sir, or let’s stop moving forward and retreat to Jiyin City to hold on to help. Although Jiyin City is not big, it is only a county seat. However, there is a city to protect. Yuwen Changling suggested.

“Yes, my lord. With the 100,000 troops in our hands, if we hold the city, we should be able to withstand the attack of the Liangshan thief army. If the lord can pray to the imperial court again and ask the imperial court to send reinforcements. Then we can hold out until reinforcements arrive. He even cooperated with reinforcements inside and outside to defeat the Liangshan thief army in one fell swoop. Fan Boring also put forward his own opinion.

There is no doubt that such an approach is feasible.

However, what made Tong Guan very dissatisfied was that.

He had just led the army on expedition, and as a result, he suffered heavy losses. He also immediately requested reinforcements from the imperial court. What does this make Song Huizong think of him? At that time, even if the battle is won, I am afraid that there will be nothing to lose. Perhaps, it will be messed up.

Needless to say, Tong Guan could be sure that Gao Lian would definitely seize this opportunity and wantonly slander him in front of Song Huizong.

As soon as he thought of this, Tong Guan was very depressed.

Originally, I thought that suppressing the Liangshan rebels this time was a good errand to obtain military merit.

But I didn’t expect that this is clearly a huge pit!

“Sir, you can’t hesitate any longer! The soldiers were already exhausted. If you are in such a state again, if you fight with the Liangshan thief army. I’m afraid it’s hard for us to win. At that time, if we fail again, the situation will really get out of control. Yuwen Changling saw that Tong Guan was a little hesitant, and quickly persuaded.

“The Liangshan thief army ate Song Chuan’s 25,000 cavalry, what about its own casualties? If they have suffered more casualties, wouldn’t we have a chance? In the end, Tong Guan was still unwilling.

Yuwen Changling and Fan Bor, hearing Tong Guan say this, couldn’t help but feel a little moved.

If the Liangshan rebels really had lost a lot, then they might be able to seize this opportunity and defeat the Liangshan rebels in one fell swoop.

Even if Han Chuan’s 25,000 cavalry were lost, under the cover of victory, all this was no longer a problem.

“My lord, or let’s move on. At the same time, scouts were sent to investigate the situation of the Liangshan thief army. If the Liangshan thief army suffers heavy losses, then we will not hesitate to attack. If the Liangshan thief army does not lose much, then we will return to Jiyin County to defend without saying a word. Fan Bo suggested.

“My lord, this is a good idea! That way, we won’t misjudge. Yuwen Changling also quickly nodded in agreement.

Tong Guan thought about it, but he had to nod.

“Okay, so let’s do it!”

So, the 100,000 foot army of the Song army continued to advance. However, groups of scouts were sent out to investigate the falsehood of the Liangshan rebels.

But unfortunately, these scouts could not get close to the Liangshan rebels at all.

The cavalry units of the Liangshan rebels effectively intercepted these scouts. And hunt them down.

So much so that the scout troops of the Song army suffered heavy losses and did not bring back much useful news.

An hour later, Tong Guan realized the seriousness of the situation and had to order his troops to stop advancing.

“Sir, we simply can’t figure out the reality of the Liangshan Thief Army now. However, what is certain is that the Liangshan thief army is very powerful and difficult to deal with. If you continue to move forward, I am afraid that you are taking risks. Yuwen Changling suggested.

“Yes, my lord. At present, the best way is to immediately return to Jiyin County and hold on. We ask the imperial court to give us more support. Fan Bo also suggested.

Tong Guan knew that now he had no other choice.

If you keep going, it’s all about risk. If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. He himself, except for being defeated and killed, will not end up at all.

If he retreats to Jiyin County and waits for help, it will certainly make Song Huizong extremely angry, and he will even be seriously injured by a villain like Gao Qiang.

However, he was able to save his own life.

Even, if he can get the support of reinforcements and defeat the Liangshan thief army in one fell swoop, he may be able to keep his official position, which will not have much impact.

“Okay, the rear team of the whole army changes to the front team and returns to Jiyin County! This official then wrote a note to the imperial court, imploring His Majesty to send reinforcements to reinforce us! Tong Guan finally made a decision.

“Yes, my lord!” Yuwen Changling and Fan Boring both couldn’t help but be happy.

After Tong Guan made such a choice, the hearts that the two of them had been hanging could finally be put back in their stomachs.

Anyway, Tong Guan is the manager, and all decisions are made by Tong Guan.

Even if he has to bear responsibility in the end, it is Tong Guan who bears the main responsibility. At most, they are assuming some joint and several responsibility, which is harmless.

The 100,000 infantry troops of the Song army, after receiving the order, looked at each other one by one.

Even many people broke their mouths and cursed.

The rush that has come for several days has long made them miserable.

Now, let them return to Jiyin County, isn’t that playing with them?

But while they complained, they had no choice but to follow orders.

If they disobey the order, even if they are killed on the spot, no one will do justice for them.

Next, the 100,000 Song troops began to retreat to Jiyin before they encountered the Liangshan rebels.

This made Wu Song and the high-level officials of Yiganliangshan, who had been paying attention to the movements of the Song army, couldn’t help but be stunned.

“What’s going on? How did those Song army infantry run away? Could it be that you are frightened? Lu Zhishen asked.

“It seems that we ate the 25,000 cavalry of the Song army in one bite, which scared Tong Guan Laoer. So, the retreat began! Lin Chong was also a little speechless.

The current Song Army seems to have become even more incompetent than before!

However, this is good news for the Liangshan rebels.

The more incompetent the Song army, the lower its combat effectiveness.

The more likely it is that the Liangshan rebels will defeat them. In other words, the more likely it is that Liangshan will overthrow the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.

These people will not be killed for failing to rebel.

On the contrary, it is very likely that because of the success of the rebellion, he will become a hero of the founding of the country.

At that time, there will be endless glory and wealth!

And isn’t all this exactly what they crave?
