Da is a new arrival, his mother is an elite composed of Khitans and Jurchens, and has not yet made an inch, and immediately said: "Langjun, the Southern Dynasty is counterattacking in western Beijing, they obviously want to take Xuzhou, I and tens of thousands of people have no way to return, and now we have to go all the way forward and take down their line." 『』――”

"If Xuzhou is lost, we will be in danger, or we will divide our troops to rescue the living girl." Uyan Pruhun was a little shaken, his views were more conservative, but he was very safe.

Alupu nodded, got up and said, "Langjun, Xuzhou can't afford to lose, and you have to hurry up to rescue." ”

Seeing that Li Qiong didn't say anything, Wushu's expression was uncertain, and asked, "What do you think the national treasure should do?"

Li Qiong was originally inconvenient to say more because of her identity, but she seemed to be staring at him, and she couldn't help but secretly call him unlucky. He is not a person without scheming, seeing that most of the generals of the Jin Army have not said anything about withdrawing the troops, the implication is self-evident, and the intention of withdrawing the troops could not be clearer.

He thought about it for a while and said cautiously: "There is a big river in front and a tiger and wolf in the back, it is time for Lang Jun to make an arbitrary decision."

The corners of Wushu's mouth moved slightly, and he glanced at Li Qiong approvingly, the smart man's answer, both sides were not offended, and he said his opinion, and immediately stared at the generals.

Originally, this southern expedition was a strategy of attrition, and almost all the main elites of the Jin Army were under his command, and the defeat of the tart was expected. Breaking through Jingdong is too fast, the main force of the Song army has not been eliminated, but there is time to gather, it doesn't hurt to do that in peacetime, the most fatal thing is that when he is blocked, it can be described as a front and back attack.

If Xuzhou is lost, he will fall into the embarrassing situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back, although there is still a way for the Huaiyang army and Yizhou to retreat, but it will be much more difficult.

Fortunately, most of the goal of the southern expedition has been achieved, and what we need to do now is how to retreat decently without being seen as a defeat, which is an absolutely important part.

"If you want to withdraw, you must also wait until Shuliesu and Lulu replenish the army, and the last general is willing to raise troops to destroy the barbarian reinforcements."

Wushu was interrupted by Helusuo's loud voice, his eyes were like torches, he looked at Helusuo tightly, shook his head and said, "You don't need to extinguish them, you just need to hold them back for a few days, and the guards of Wulie are temporarily under your control." ”

Even their own guards were given to Heluso, and everyone's hearts were as bright as mirrors, which was to buy enough time for the army to retreat, after all, there were too many treasures plundered in this campaign, and the speed of the Han army's foot escort was too slow.

However, when he was finally able to return home, there was an inexplicable joy in everyone's hearts.

"Okay, you guys hurry back to the village to prepare, and take Zhongli down."

Li Qiong got up with everyone to say goodbye, but he couldn't help but reveal desolation in his heart, and the confusion that had been suppressed in his heart finally opened his mouth, and he had completely become a traitor who could not turn back.

Although he was already doomed from the time he submitted his book to the vultures, it was only at this time that he seriously thought about the past and the future, and really faintly regretted what he had done.

The high-level made a decision, but the battle must still be fought, the gains and losses of Xuzhou are still unknown, and the Wushu must also defeat the reinforcements of the palace front division, and take Zhongli down, this is a matter of face, and it has nothing to do with victory or defeat.

On the third watch, a small courtyard grass house outside Wuqing County, Cangzhou.

A black-clad masked man anxiously walked in the middle of the house, and the door of the grass hut rang twice, and the masked man stopped and said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”

A young man in a blue homespun cloth shortcoat and about twenty-seven or eighteen years old quickly pushed the door in, bowed down and said, "I've seen my lord." ”

"Has the county lord of Xin'an arrived" The black-clothed masked man stared coldly at the young man who came in with a pair of eagle-like eyes, and his tone of voice was also cold.

"The county lord is already on the boat outside, please show me."

"Good, well done." The black-clothed masked man stretched his brows, his gaze softened, and he laughed softly, "Get on board." ”

The black-clad masked man and the young man went out of the courtyard, and when they saw that there was no one on the left and right, they went straight to a large fishing boat moored by the river.

Several men dressed as fishermen saluted him, and the masked man in black entered the cabin, and saw a beautiful woman of twenty-seven or eighteen years old sitting in the corner of the cabin with a frightened face, and a pair of beautiful and tired eyes, looking at the uninvited guest in horror.

The black-clothed masked man simply sat down and said lightly: "The county lord doesn't need to panic, he is the envoy of the Privy Council, and the cabin is inconvenient to salute, I hope the county lord will forgive the sins." ”

The beautiful woman of the "Speed Division" had a frightened look in her eyes, obviously extremely unfamiliar with the official title, and very jealous of the masked man.

"The identity of the envoy must be kept secret, if it is not for the county lord, he will never be in danger. I have a lot of fate with the county lord in the next, but I didn't expect to meet the royal nobles, so I simply rescued the county lord. The masked man in black didn't care about it.

Speaking of which, the face of the county lord of Xin'an is a little better, and he believes that the other side is his own person.

His face calmed down a little, believing that he had indeed escaped and ascended to heaven, and said sadly: "Thank you for saving me, but why didn't you rescue Yun Wudi Zongji?"

The black-clothed masked man's eyes were gloomy, and he said in a stiff tone: "For the sake of the county lord, the next brother was martyred, and now that the north and the south are fighting, I have done my best to bring the county lord out." ”

The county lord of Xin'an was uncertain, bowed her head and was silent, and there was still sadness and sadness in her expression, she was a little unfamiliar with the title of the county lord, but she also knew the meaning.

The black-clothed masked man seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "At this time, you have not escaped the danger, the three officials outside will protect you from leaving, if the wind is favorable, you can go all the way to the sea and endure for a few days, and you can reach the territory of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

The county lord of Xin'an heard this, his eyes were slightly wet, and his expression was a little sudden, and he said weakly: "Kaifeng, can I really go back to Kaifeng?"

"The imperial court has moved south, cherish it all the way, and say goodbye here." Faced with the tragic situation of the county lord of Xin'an, the black-clothed masked man also sighed softly.

"Alas, I don't know if the adults have a big name, and they can repay each other in the future." The face of the lord of Xin'an County was slightly red.

"Duty, take care of the county lord." The black-clad masked man smiled faintly, and he had already exited the cabin.

As he watched the fishing boat disappear into the dark river from the shore, he whispered to the young man, "Remember, our duty is to spy on the military, and every envoy is precious, and no one you meet, there can be no woman's kindness." ”

The young man stared at the black-clothed masked man and said hesitantly: "My lord, these royal daughters are really pitiful, they are trafficked around. ”

"Shut up." The black-clothed masked man had sharp eyes and scolded: "Your duty and I are to seek information for the imperial court, how can we cause losses to the nobles in distress, what you have done is too reckless, if there is a next time to deal with it according to the law, we will not tolerate it." ”

At this point, he paused again and said in a low voice: "Even if you encounter these fallen clan girls, you can pretend to be a merchant and buy them, and you must not risk breaking into your chief's mansion." ”
