Tong Guan was so scared that he took off all his armor and threw it away. Liu Wei, Yue Fei and more than a dozen people protected Tong Guan and could not escape.

When Tong Guan escaped back to Zhending, Yao Hua had just reorganized the troops of Changche Camp.

"Close the city gate! Everyone climbs the city to defend the enemy! Yao Pingzhong leads his troops out of the city to fight!" Tong Guan, who was still in shock, could no longer speak, and Liu Wei issued an order on his behalf.

Yao Pingzhong and his men stood outside the city and refused to set up a trap for a day and a night, but they did not see the shadow of the Liao army.

On the second day, Tong Guan and Liu Wei realized at the same time that the Liao army's real goal was not to attack Zhending Mansion, but to eat up all three troops of the Song army. Now that Tong Guan's headquarters' supplies and some documents have fallen into the hands of the Liao army, the Liao army will of course use it.

"Send someone to recall Mr. Zhong and Xin Xingzong! I will tell you that the two armies will return to Zhending Mansion to repair it!" Tong Guan shouted hysterically, and the messenger rolled out and got on the horse and ran wildly to the two places of Mr. Zhong and Xin Xingzong.

After all, it was still too late. Three days later, Zhong Shidao and Xin Xingzong fled back with their remaining soldiers.

"A hundred thousand army? It disappeared in less than ten days? There were less than 30,000 enemy troops? How did this battle be fought?" Tong Guan began to roar.

Zhong Shidao took off his helmet "Tai Shi, my troops were already slow, because they were afraid that the enemy would have tricks, but first a messenger came to urge me to advance. Then a messenger took your handwritten document and his seal was stamped on it to send me a command to let me stand by in Baigou! As a result, what was waiting for was the enemy's attack on all sides!"

"I also received an order from here to wait for the Grand Tutor. Behind me, the soldiers of our army came to ask for help with the Grand Tutor's golden helmet, and asked me to go to Baigou to rescue the Grand Tutor. I didn't want to ambush halfway!" Xin Xingzong said and cried loudly. Master Zhong finally brought back thousands of people, but Xin Xingzong only fled back with dozens of personal soldiers.

Tong Guan knew in his heart that it was his five thousand surprise soldiers who were taken first, and then the Liao army used his objects to deceive Zhong Shidao and Xin Xingzong with surrendered soldiers. However, facing so many generals and officials, it was impossible to say that he, the commander, was wrong. "Take the old general Zhong and General Xin down to rest first! In my general's opinion, there must be a Liao people in Zhending Prefecture doing a detailed job and tell the Liao people about our attack route and deployment, otherwise how could our army be hit one after another? We must investigate strictly!"

Liu Wei remained silent. Yao Hua had not figured out what was going on. The 100,000 troops were gone for more than ten days, and they were trapped one after another. Is there really a spy or the Song army too weak?

Yang Keshi was a little gloating at this time, "Tai Shi, in addition to strict investigation, we also have to give the court an explanation! The Northern Expedition has been decided, and once will not work, there will be a second time!"

Tong Guan glanced at Yang Keshi, "The Yang Du Zheng is right! I really want to give the court an explanation! Your Du Zheng Yang is greedy for merit and reckless this time and does not listen to orders. If there is no punishment, I am afraid others will say that I favor you!"

Yang Keshi was so angry that he was not angry that Tong Guan's eyes had already shown murderous intent, so he had to bow his head and say yes.

After suppressing Yang Keshi, Tong Guan's expression was slightly better. "The old general missed the opportunity to fight. He thought that he had made many great contributions to the country in his old age, so he was relieved of his current position. He still stayed in the army to serve as the commander of his subordinates and made meritorious contributions! The governor of Xiongzhou He Guan encouraged our army to advance recklessly, and there was a suspicion of colluding with the enemy and selling the country. Take care of it first! Hou Yi, who was responsible for the investigation this time, was also suspected of colluding with the enemy and must be interrogated strictly!"

Everyone didn't say anything, knowing who would be convicted if they spoke.

Yao Hua remembered that there was another person who had not come back, that was Zhong Zhiming, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

After Tong Guan finished his discussion, he continued to go south to the capital. Yao Hua hurriedly went to find the escaped person to inquire about Zhong Zhiming's whereabouts.

Even Zhong Shidao, who had always been inconsistent with the Yao family, also bowed to the account and said good things to inquire about Zhong Zhiming's situation.

The answer Zhong Shidao gave him was that he could not know all 100,000 people on the battlefield. Except for those who escaped, most of them died in Baigou.

I continued to ask others, either they didn’t know Zhong Zhiming, or they said that Zhong Zhiming died in Baigou.

Yao Hua was very disappointed. Zhong Zhiming was considered a master to him. Although he was disgusted with Zhong Zhiming's life and wisdom, he had to admire this person.

Yao Hua felt that Zhong Zhiming would not die. How could a person as smart as him not think of a way to escape? His skills are not bad.

Before he could even mourn Zhong Zhiming too much, Liu Wei came to the door here.

There was a spy from Zhending Mansion, and Yao Hua, who stayed in Zhending Mansion, was naturally responsible. Yao Hua was very calm. "I accept it whether it was dismissed or exiled to the army! I would like to listen to the dismissal of General Liu!"

Liu Wei snorted, "Hmph, if something happens, you want to leave. You are so beautiful! Your official position is inevitable, and you don't need to be a military force. Your task is to find out the detailed work that leaks military information in Zhending Mansion!"

Yao Hua looked at Liu Wei, "If you really do a detailed job and can reveal military information, your official position will definitely be above me. If you can participate in the promotion of the account, I have the lowest official position!"

"That's not necessarily the case. The army actually divided into four teams, three teams attacked, and one team stayed behind. It is also possible that the generals like you are not strict, so they let their subordinates find out the news and then ran to report the news to the Liao people! So, you must check the military and civilians in Zhending Mansion!" Liu Wei believed that it was the locals who intended to collude with the Liao people.

Yao Hua took a deep breath and investigated the entire Zhending Mansion. Not to mention that it took time, the most important thing was that it would inevitably disturb the people, the morale of the army, and make people panic and suspicious of each other.

"Old General Liu, my subordinates think"

Before Yao Hua finished speaking, Liu Wei interrupted him, "Do you think I'm going to do this now? This is what Master Tong told me before returning to Bianjing! I know your thoughts, but it's useless to say them! I'll send Yue Fei to do this with you! You have to know that there must be some detailed work, but we are in the light and they are in the dark, so it's a last resort to alert the snake!"

After Liu Wei said this, Yao Hua saluted him, "Thank you for the advice of the elder General Liu! I will do my best!"

Liu Wei looked at the stars in the sky, "Looking northwest, shooting the sky wolf! The country is unfortunate, and it depends on you young people to work hard! I hit you before to test your concentration and ability. You will definitely be able to accomplish great things in the future! Yue Fei comes out!"

Yue Fei jumped off the tree next to him, "Mr. Yao, we're meeting again! Please give me some advice!"

Yao Hua searched for Yue Fei for a few days, but he couldn't find it. It turned out that Liu Wei had specially put it away. He was about to ask Yue Fei for information about the front line.

Yao Hua realized at this moment that he had been arranged by Liu Wei again. Liu Wei was waiting for Yao Hua and Yue Fei to study the failure of the battle from the perspective of officers and soldiers.

When Yue Fei told him that he was protecting Tong Guan and broke out of the Liao army's siege, Yao Hua felt a little disappointed, "You have saved him, but he didn't mention it at all, and he didn't give you any reward! No wonder we have defeated the war, there is such a thing."

"Master Yao is careful! It is my duty to save Taishi Tong! It is not for the sake of reward! But from my perspective, it should be the officials involved in the matters in front of Taishi Tong's tent! The Liao army has completely understood all the intentions of our army, which is not something that ordinary meticulous works can do!" Yue Fei expressed his opinion, his eyes full of anger.

"Well, if you say so, you have to start checking up from me!" Yao Hua nodded.

"But we don't have the authority to investigate other adults directly, so we have to do it lightly and secretly. Openly investigate and set up levels will also have some effect. We secretly send people to monitor them, and even sneak into their rooms to find evidence. Yue is willing to listen to Lord Yao's orders!"

Yue Fei's idea is indeed good, but the difficulty lies in the fact that except for Yao Hua and Yue Fei, it is neither reliable nor safe to find others to monitor these officials.

"Brother Yue has a good idea, but only you and I can do it here, so I'm afraid it'll only disturb the people!"

Yue Fei held Yao Hua's hand, "If Lord Yao can trust me, I can summon my brothers from the world to do this! And it will not arouse suspicion!"

Yao Hua's eyes lit up, "Of course I can trust it. This matter is done by people in the martial arts world. Even if it is accidentally exposed, it doesn't matter. Moreover, people in the martial arts world can be more relaxed without any scruples!"

Yue Fei and Yao Hua's plan had just begun, and the imperial court's decree was demoted to the General of the Right Guard to resign; He was demoted to the Deputy Envoy of the Tuanlian of Bozhou, and moved to Yunzhou to be resettled; Hou Yi was demoted to the governor of Haozhou. After checking the matter in detail, the court also stopped. Many people had already written letters to impeach Liu Wei and disturbed the people in Zhending Prefecture.

The first time they collaborated, Yao Hua invited Yue Fei to drink with him. The two of them drank until late at night, and were already a little drunk when they returned to their residence.

The two walked along the streets and alleys to the city and were meeting four soldiers dragging a girl. Yao Hua was about to interrogate him, and Yue Fei shouted, "You are destroying military discipline like this, and I, Yue Fei, will do my best to heaven!"

Yue Fei soared into the air and stretched out his legs and swept over, sweeping over two of them on the spot. The other two were lost and wanted to run away, but Yue Fei picked up and smashed them against the wall by his left and right hands.

"Brother Yue, just teach a lesson! As long as the girl is fine!" Yao Hua stepped forward to pull Yue Fei, how could he hold it back.

Yue Fei took advantage of the alcohol to beat the four people to death and laughed. Yao Hua covered the eyes of the woman who was trembling with fear.

Yue Fei turned around and said, "Mr. Yao, what are you going to do? Could you also commit crimes? Yue Fei, I, the most despised thieves who bully the people!"

Yao Hua quickly let go of his hand, "Girl, I'm drunk too much! Brother Yue! Brother Yue!"

Yue Fei was drunk at this time and he was shaking his head. Fortunately, Yao Hua was prepared and quickly went to the side. The woman was still trembling on the ground.

Seeing that Yao Hua could not persuade Yue Fei, he had to lead Yue Fei away and run wildly.

Fortunately, Yue Fei chased him for a while and then fell asleep in the corner. Yao Hua escaped and disappeared when he went back to find the woman.

Yao Hua couldn't find the woman, so he had to carry Yue Fei back to his tent. The next day, Yao Hua was so confused that he heard the crowds of people outside before he got up.
