Zhao Bing stayed in Tanzhou for only a few days before embarking on his return journey, but at this time it was no longer the cautiousness of the time he came. He hid and hid. Not only were the more than a hundred guards who came, but also thousands of troops in front and behind him. Although the way he went on, traces of fierce fighting could still be seen everywhere.

The flames of the trees that were overburdened in the valley were still not extinguished, and the blue smoke drenched the clear sky, and the air was filled with an indelible smell of burnt. Arrows, abandoned weapons and supplies could be seen everywhere on the roadside. In a larger valley, a group of weak Mongolian Yuan prisoners threw a body of men and horses into the pit under the supervision of the Song army, and buried layers of soil.

Seeing their large group of people passing by, there were even groups of enemy prisoners who were dejected and avoided. Occasionally, those who dared to look up were empty and unconscious, and their future destiny was no longer controlled by them. Among them, there were those who felt relieved. The outcome of the war had nothing to do with them, and they could only be glad to escape from death.

"Your Majesty, Yan Feng and Luo Datong respectively sent war reports. They led their troops to intersect the two places of Jiaerlingyu and Moshikou yesterday morning to divide the enemy marching brigade. The enemy broke through several times but failed, with heavy casualties and gradually cut off. They are now encircling and annihilation." A messenger reported the war report, and Liu Wenjun saw it quickly and reported to the emperor.

"They interspersed very quickly. They marched more than a hundred miles a day and night in the mountains, blocking 30,000 enemy troops in a valley that is only 30 miles away. If they were allowed to escape from Bohai Village, it would put a lot of pressure on Ni Liang's troops!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"Yes, if Yan Feng had not made a quick advance in the army, this battle would have been a junk rice, and the enemy would not be wiped out!" Liu Wenjun sighed.

"Where is Qian Lin's army?" Zhao Bing nodded and asked.

"About sixty miles ahead of us, they chased and killed them all the way. Thousands of remnants of the enemy's rear avoided the entrance of the Mixtone and resisted stubbornly. Now they are trapped in it, and it is also a matter of time to be annihilated." Liu Wenjun replied.

"I didn't expect that it was just an impromptu work by scouts at first, but now it has turned into a big pursuit. This result was beyond our expectations. I'm afraid that even Gao Mieli might not know the reason, and he was so defeated!" Zhao Bing chuckled.

"It's his Majesty who is wise and powerful. He discovered the fighter's opportunity and made a quick decision to win this battle!" Liu Wenjun said with a smile on his face.

"I dare not take credit. It's all because you have commanded properly. The soldiers can win with their lives. I just sit and watch it happen!" Zhao Bing waved his hands and smiled. Even though he said that, he felt that the battle was full of strangeness. There were many confusions in it, and he could only wait for the war to be resolved one by one.

At that time, Zhao Bing wanted to use the Mongol Yuan to open up foreign traffic to adjust the combat plan, allowing the Danzhou side to fight and retreat and lure the enemy to reinforce, and used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain to seize Juyongguan. However, it was also full of uncertainty. When would the Mongol Yuan enemy who attacked Tanzhou ask for help, or felt that he had no success in fighting for a long time and retreated. Even the Mongol Yuan court sent troops from the city, but Juyongguan remained unmoved, which would lead to the failure of his plan.

Fortunately, the performances of the Tongzhou Daying and Liangxiang Daying were performed well, and the Tanzhou side was really defeated, which led to the Mongolian Yuan side following Zhao Bing's script. But a new problem arose. Whether Ni Liang could discover that the guards of Juyongguan were secretly transferred, whether they could seize the opportunity to launch an attack, and whether they could successfully break the barrier is all unknown.

But by chance, Zhao Bing decided to go to Tanzhou to see Li Zhen off, and the rare ministers did not stop him, allowing him to make a move. It was precisely when they discovered the enemy troops who came out of help from Juyongguan on the way, so that the expeditionary army did not give up Tanzhou, and continued to retreat and lure the enemy, and used this as a stronghold for counterattack.

You should know that once you give up Tanzhou, the expeditionary army will lose its geographical advantage and be forced to build field fortifications in relatively flat areas to block the enemy layer by layer. The enemy can use the staggered road network in hilly areas to intersperse the Song army, making it easier to use cavalry to fight. Forcing the Second Cavalry Division and the 12th Army, which have been in a "hidden" state, to participate in the war in advance, which may expose the battle attempt.

But with city protection, the Song army was in a favorable situation. It not only stuck the only road to the fortress, reduced the defense surface, but also garrisoned grain and stored troops. It also used the advantages of artillery to give greater casualties to the enemy and reduce losses to their own sides, so that they could arrange counterattacks calmly.

After Gao Mieli obtained reinforcements, the enemy attacked fiercely. Of course, he and Zhao Bing didn't understand why Kuokuoqi worked so hard and attacked Tanzhou City day and night without hesitation for casualties. But at this time, Liu Wenjun had already begun to arrange a counterattack. At this time, the war between Juyongguan was incomplete. Since the news was cut off, they could not know. In order to obtain the news, they could only send a large number of scouts to infiltrate in the direction of Juyongguan.

Because the Mongol Yuan enemy along the way was controlled by the Mongol Yuan army, the scouts sent by the Tanzhou side could only cross mountains and ridges to infiltrate Juyong Pass. When they arrived, the imperial guards had already conquered Yuancheng and were bombarding Guancheng. The breaking of the pass was just around the corner. After exploring the details, the scouts quickly returned. Several scouts sent by the Bohai City met here and gathered more than a hundred people.

Thinking of Li Zhen's death here, the scouts were unable to calm down. As soon as everyone discussed and wanted to do something, it would make the rear uneasy. After a team of people were sent back to Tanzhou to report military information, these boys who were not afraid of heaven and earth attacked Bohai City at night. Their numbers were far inferior to those of the enemy defenders, and pretending to be a ghost was the scouts' specialty. They even created the momentum of thousands of troops with hundreds of people, which scared the defenders in the city so that they didn't even dare to go out. They also sent envoys to the front line to report the news and request reinforcements.

So in fact, Gao Mioli and Kuokuochu were more than Zhao Bing and others to know about the news of Juyong Pass's loss, but the two had a dispute over whether to advance or retreat, which delayed the night. The next day, after receiving the news of the attack on Bohai Village, they were suspicious for a long time, and finally decided to withdraw their troops. After a few days, they delayed a day and a night.

In order to confuse the Song army, Ye Gaomili led troops to attack Tanzhou City at night, and asked his master Kuokuo to lead the troops at night to lead the troops first. But what they didn't know was that after the Tanzhou side learned that Juyongguan had succeeded, Zhao Bing and others judged that the enemy troops would withdraw immediately, so as not to be cut off from retreat. They did not expect Kuokuochu to have the idea of ​​fleeing to western Liaoning to become independent.

So Liu Wenjun immediately sent the 12th Army and the First Brigade of the Expeditionary Army to set off, ambush the withdrawn enemy troops behind the enemy on the way. The Second Cavalry Division and the Second Brigade of the Expeditionary Army followed and chased, annihilated the enemy between Tanzhou and Bohai City, preventing him from returning to Juyong Pass or fleeing back to the capital.

At this time, if Gao Mieli and the other two had no disagreement, they immediately withdrew their troops and escaped the interception of the Song army. Even if there were any losses, the entire army would not be destroyed. However, his night attack still made Zhao Bing and others confused, thinking that they had not learned the news of Juyong Pass's loss, and suspected that they wanted to capture Tanzhou and then withdraw their troops, so as not to be chased on the way back.

He even made Zhao Bingsheng give up the city of Tanzhou, pretending to be defeated for dozens of miles, allowing the enemy to enter the hub safely, and then counterattack. Fortunately, he did not act rashly, and he did not expect that the enemy would retreat until dawn. But they still found out after dawn that the enemy had left them an empty village, which had retreated, so he hurriedly sent the Second Cavalry Division to chase after him.

As the saying goes, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. If Zhao Bing really gave up Tanzhou City and pretended to be defeated, Kuokuoqi then insisted on going to western Liaoning. With the second cavalry division and the second brigade of the Expeditionary Army in a hasty manner, it might not be able to stop the Yuan army with 50,000 troops, and let them break through. This history may be rewritten again, allowing Kuokuoqi to be called a Khan in western Liaoning and live the emperor's addiction.

But these coincidences and misunderstandings are the treacherous aspects of the war, and it is also this that makes history full of variables, attracting countless people to the battlefield, intending to show their talents in the war, and make future people sigh for the hero's silence and the fall of the star...

After walking for ten miles, it was almost noon. Liu Wenjun ordered a temporary rest. The war ahead is still going on and there are still remaining enemies who have not been cleared. Naturally, he cannot let the emperor take risks, so he is not in a hurry to rush forward and move forward according to the usual marching speed. With a command, a soldier found an empty place to set up a shed, set up a table and stool, boil water and tea to let everyone rest.

"Your Majesty, why are your hair gone?" Liu Wenjun did not dare to ignore the emperor's safety at all. He personally arranged the warning before coming to see him. As soon as he entered the awning, he was stunned and rubbed his eyes and exclaimed.

When he set off in the morning, the emperor wore a thick felt cool hat with the traditional wide-brimmed and thin felt ink, and no abnormality was found. However, now the emperor's hair was only about an inch long, which shocked Liu Wenjun. Although he was a martial artist, he was also very knowledgeable about literature and writing. Naturally, he also knew the truth that "the body, hair, skin, and his parents dare not damage it." Now that the emperor's hair is gone, wouldn't it be a big taboo?

"What's the point of fuss? I cut my hair short, it's easier!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and touched his head and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die if I failed to serve you well!" Liu Wenjun was even more frightened and quickly apologized.

"Get up!" Zhao Bing helped him up helplessly, "What's so great about cutting my head? Make it shorter, so that it won't be troublesome to cleanse every day, and it won't allow lice to parasitize, and it will be cooler when it's hot!"

"Your Majesty, but this is inappropriate... Why don't you dissuade me?" Liu Wenjun knew that the emperor had an idea since he was a child, but cutting his hair was against the ethics of heaven and earth. He did not dare to blame the emperor, but he was not polite to his followers and pointed at them and said angrily.

"Master, we can't persuade them either!" Xu Hong and Xu Wunan looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and took off their helmets. Yesterday, the emperor had a sudden idea and had to cut his hair short and threaten to raid the house and exterminate the clan. He forced them to surrender. It was not that they didn't persuade them, but that they could not persuade them.

"Why did you shave your hair?" Liu Wenjun was shocked and furious when he saw that they had cut their hair short.

"Since we can't persuade Your Majesty, we can only accept the punishment of heaven with Your Majesty and share some of the burden for Your Majesty!" Xu Hong pointed at the imperial guards and said with a smile.
