Chapter 41 The military situation has changed, and the army is advancing into Longde House!
Yao Gu and Zhang Hao had just drunk a fight with Wanyan Sali, and the number of casualties was quite serious. So when Wanyan Lou's room rushed over, they retreated to Longde Mansion, intending to recuperate in Longde Mansion for several days before attacking.
Zhao Huan was listening to the report of Yao Gu, Zhang Hao and Wanyan Sali.
After finishing his speech in one breath, Zhao Huan nodded secretly. What Mr. Zhong said was basically consistent with what he heard from the Imperial City Guard spies.
It seems that the reason why he died 10,000 and was injured by 5,000 was because Yao Gu was arrogant and greedy for merit, and he was ambushed by Wanyan Sali. Fortunately, the Song army had an advantage in terms of numbers, otherwise he would have suffered a crushing defeat in this battle.
This is the frontal attack of both sides after Zhao Huan traveled over, and the emperor was in charge of the army, so he would not be defeated, otherwise the morale he had just raised would inevitably be severely hit.
Zhao Huan was furious: There are always some arrogant and greedy guys who want to kill me at critical moments!
But after all, Yao Gu won another battle, so it’s hard to punish him directly, which is painful!
Zhao Huan asked, "How is this person Wanyan Loushi?"
Zhong Shidao said: "Your Majesty, this man is known as the most powerful general of the Jin Kingdom. Although Wanyan Agu once defeated Liao, he fought from the northeast to the northwest, and drove straight in, leaving Liao Kingdom with no power to fight back!"
"Zhong Qing thought Yao Gu and Zhang Hao had a chance of winning?"
Zhong Shidao was slightly silent, but was taken first by Yao Pingzhong. Yao Pingzhong said: "Please allow me to lead 10,000 warriors and Yao Shuai to attack the dog thief in Wanyan Loushi. I will dedicate his head to Your Majesty!"
When Zhao Huan heard this, he said, "Oh? You are rarely so determined!"
Master Zhong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, no!"
"Zhongqing, what are your opinions?"
Mr. Zhong stood up and suddenly bowed: "Old minister, please come to Longde Mansion in person!"
Yao Pingzhong quickly opposed: "Ship Zhong, our strategy is that after Shuai Yao and Shuai Zhang take over Liaozhou, His Majesty will come in person. Now Wanyan Loushi, after all, Longde Mansion. If you ask Your Majesty to go to Longde Mansion in person, wouldn't you put the emperor in a dangerous position?"
Zhong Shidao said: "The army is inconsistent and the water is inconsistent! Your Majesty, our army and Wanyan Sali have already won the battle. It was the time when morale was greatly boosted. However, Yao Gu and Zhang Hao had to retreat to Longde Mansion, which shows that our generals were very afraid of Wanyan Loushi, which is a sign of a defeated army! However, the battle with Wanyan Loushi was related to Taiyuan's rescue and Hedong's energy. I can't afford to lose at all in the Song Dynasty. I would like to ask Your Majesty to visit Longde Mansion in person to boost our army's power!"
Yao Pingzhong on the side said, "Your Majesty! Just give me 10,000 people, I will definitely bring the head of Wanyan Loushi to see you!"
Zhong Shidao said angrily: "Xiyan, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. Our generals are already afraid of the enemy at this moment. It is definitely not possible to solve the problem with the additional troops!"
Of course, Yao Pingzhong did not accept the statement of Zhong Shidao. Zhong Shidao was only pointing at Yao Gu's nose to scold him for being afraid of the enemy and retreating. This was the biggest insult to the general.
Yao Gu is his adoptive father, so he naturally doesn't want Yao Gu to be called a cowardly enemy!
Yao Pingzhong wanted to say something, but he had been interrupted by Zhao Huan. Zhao Huan said: "I also have this intention! In this battle, the Song Dynasty only allows victory but not defeat!"
Seeing that the emperor said this, Yao Pingzhong didn't dare to say anything more. Anyway, they were going north to support Longde Mansion. At that time, the commander of the reinforcements would be Yao Pingzhong who would lead the troops.
On that night, the scouts in front rushed into the night to sweep the road for the emperor's main force. At night, the vanguard troops had already begun to set off. In the second half of the night, the emperor woke up from his sleep and the central army began to head north.
During this period, Zhao Huan received news that Zhe Keqiu divided his troops into two groups, heading south separately, and the left side was responsible for restraining Wanyan Zonghan and might send Jin troops to intercept him, while he himself ordered 30,000 elite troops on the right side to pounce on Longde Mansion at full speed.
Wanyan Loushi's dispatch can be said to have immediately stimulated the Song army. The emperor almost smashed all the elite troops that Hedong could mobilize to Longde Mansion, and it was Wanyan Loushi who would have to kill him.
The emperor's central army's marching speed was forcibly increased by the emperor, at least twice that of usual. From time to time, the emperor would ride a horse and run back and forth in the army, and personally inspect the marching situation.
When the soldiers saw the emperor, they worked so hard, and each of them seemed to have been injected with chicken blood.
About the next afternoon, the dull sun was hanging in the sky, and the water of the Fen River was slowly flowing, and some places were frozen.
At this time, Zhe Keqiu had arrived at the Fen River. There was a city called Pingyang opposite the Fen River. It was occupied by the Jin army a month ago. According to spies, there were about five thousand gold troops in the city.
Zhe Keqiu said: "When you arrive in Pingyang, you will use Pingyang's Jin army to sharpen your knife! Brothers, take Pingyang before the sun sets!"
The generals shouted: "Yes!"
It has to be said that the Zhe Keqiu's Zhe Army was indeed the most capable elite in the Song Dynasty. After enduring in Fencheng for more than a month, the combat effectiveness it showed at this moment was definitely unpredictable.
Even in such a cold weather, the Zhe family army took Pingyang for an hour. Of course, this is inseparable from the people in the city that they heard that the Song army was coming and they cooperated with Zhe Keqiu.
After conquering Pingyang, Zhe Keqiu did not stay for much and continued to advance towards Longde Mansion in the southeast.
Originally, he had agreed to arrive in Liaozhou at the agreed time, but now the situation of the war has changed. Obviously, he cannot go to Liaozhou anymore, and should go to Longde Mansion. He also wanted to kill Wanyan Loushi's guy to death immediately.
Wanyan Zonghan finally stopped drinking and eating meat. The Taiyuan City was surrounded for two months but not captured. Later, he simply surrounded Taiyuan City completely, cut off all contacts between Taiyuan City and the outside world, and planned to trap the city to death.
So when I had nothing to do in the camp, I drank alcohol, ate meat and played with women, but now the information reported by the spies made people sit up and frown.
The Zhe family army has left Fencheng and advanced southeast. He can even think of it as he goes to Longde Mansion with his butt!
But such an important military information was not transmitted back until evening!
In a rage, Wanyan Zonghan beheaded the spy's boss Jin Weiyan!
What was the situation at this time? The right side led by Zhe Keqiu had already left Pingyang with his front foot, while the information of the Jin spies was that the Zhe family army advanced southeast.
Wanyan Zonghan shouted angrily: "Who would like to lead the troops to take the Zhe, please ask someone to come to see me?"
Immediately a general stood up. This person was Wanyan Pu's slave. He said, "Marcenary, I am willing to take the order!"
"Okay! I will give you another 10,000 troops. You and Wanyan Loushi will lead the army in Longde Mansion. I will wipe out the entire Song army!"
"I will never let down the marshal's trust!"
But Wanyan Pu's slave ordered another 10,000 troops to move southeastward overnight until Zhe Keqiu captured Pingyang, which was in the second half of the night. Wanyan Zonghan felt something was wrong. The Song army was notoriously weak, but this time it seemed that it was extremely strict and powerful in action, and it actually concealed its spies.
In fact, this matter cannot be entirely blamed for the killed Jin Weiyan. After all, when Zhao Huan decided to fight in person, he gave Sima Jun a death order, first cutting off half of the Jin army's scouts in Hedong.
