Chapter 248: Soldiers are coming to the famous city

"Southeast?" Liu Qi asked suspiciously.

"The Jin army's marching route is a bit strange, why did you retreat?" Vice Admiral Left said suspiciously.

"In my opinion, this must be the Jin Army's suspicious strategy, its purpose is to confuse our army, in fact, the Jin Army has already fled to the north now!" The right lieutenant also stood up and said at this time.

"It's a possibility." The left deputy general nodded and said: "In this case, there is indeed no reason for the Jin army to retreat south. ”

"Your Majesty once said that the army led by Yue Fei in front has already crossed over, and it is impossible for Wanyan Zongbi to break through Yue Fei's defense line, if they retreat to the south, it will be normal if they are calculated in this way." Liu Qi said softly.

"Could it be that the Jin army has already received the news that Yue Fei was intercepted in front, so he will retreat south in a hurry?" Vice Admiral Left asked suspiciously.

"It stands to reason that even if the Jin army knows that there is an interception of our army in the north, it is impossible to turn back to the south, after all, the Jin army to the north still has 200,000 troops in the famous city as support, if you go south, it will be a lone army, and when the lone army goes deep, there is no backup, no supply, Wanyan Zongbi must have gone crazy." The right lieutenant general analyzed at this time.

Liu Qi took a deep breath, and at this time he was faced with this difficult choice, whether to continue to the north or turn back to the south.

In the southeast, there are traces left by the Jin army, which looks like traces of retreat that have been dealt with in a hurry, while the north side is flat, not like the traces of a large army.

"Going south, it may be the Jin army's suspicious strategy, if we catch up, if we don't find the trace of the Jin army, it will be a waste of time, general, and according to the time calculation, if the Jin army really fled to the southwest, even if we chase it, it will be useless, they must have entered the primeval forest." The left lieutenant general analyzed.

"General, the military order given to us by Your Majesty is to let our army pursue the Jin Army to the north, and join Yue Fei and General Zong Ze under the Daimyo City, if it is now because of such a trace, we will turn back to the south, and it is very likely that we will delay the meeting with Yue Fei, Zong Ze and others." The right lieutenant general also said next to him.

Hearing the opinions of everyone on both sides, Liu Qi also understood it, that is, the two of them did not support pursuing the Jin army in the southeast direction in their hearts, after all, even if they caught up at this time, it would be useless.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Qi ordered the army to continue north.

After arriving here, Liu Qi finally discovered Yue Fei's great reputation in this place.

Along the way, I often saw that some of the banners raised by the rebels were all from the Yuejia army, and these people did not care whether the Yuejia army recognized their existence or not, but they all rose up, holding high the banner of the Yuejia army, and for a time the flags flying near the entire Daimyo City were very spectacular.

Outside the Daimyo City, it has now been completely surrounded by the Song army, Yue Fei led an army of more than 100,000 people, and Zong Ze led an army of more than 60,000 people, surrounding the east, west, and south sides of the Daimyo City.

The famous city is the capital of the puppet Qi, but it is a small city, the population of the city is not more than 600,000 people when the victory is complete, and later Liu Yu established the puppet Qi, the capital of the puppet Qi was built in this place, but the population of the puppet Qi not only did not increase, but decreased a lot, and now the population in the city can not even reach 500,000 people.

Wan Yan Zonghan, Wan Yan Chang and others gathered together.

"Now that the Song army has besieged the Daimyo City on three sides, there is no siege of the army all the way to the north, and the Song army seems to be not planning to fight with our army, but has opened an opening in the north." Wan Yanchang said softly.

"Oh, do you have to thank the Song army for their kindness, even if they want to besiege, then they have to surround it, they Song people have an ancient saying, called three times the enemy can attack the city, the number of the Song army is comparable to our army, if you want to besiege the city, that is beyond your strength." Wanyan Xiyin snorted coldly and said.

"The current situation is not worried about the siege of the Song army, but our army should consider the next step, whether to abandon the Daimyo City and retreat north, or to have a big battle with the Song army in the Daimyo City?" Wanyan Zonghan said softly.

"Although the Song army has no way to surround the famous city, but each of the four city walls has sent a large army to defend it, and when the time comes, there will be a siege but not an attack, and the grain and grass of our 200,000 army will not last long." After a pause, Yan Zonghan then added.

Wanyan Zonghan's words are reasonable, this is an army of 200,000, and the food and grass just eaten every day is a large expense, and the famous city is a small land, and they can't afford it in this place.

"Then you mean the retreat of our army?" Wan Yanchang asked.

"I don't mean anything, isn't this discussing this with everyone?" Wanyan Zonghan did not give a positive answer, at this time, the decision to withdraw the army was not so easy to make, after all, after the withdrawal, this famous city would definitely not be able to hold it.

"There is another question, if you decide to withdraw the army, what should Liu Yu do?" Wan Yanchang threw out another question.

"An emperor, what do you care about his life or death? During his reign, he didn't do anything good, and the people in this famous city poked his backbone and scolded him, even with our army. Wanyan Zonghan said lightly.

"It's like this kind of despicable villain, just kill it directly, it's not a pity to die!" Wanyan Xiyin also said coldly, it can be seen that Liu Yu's personnel should be extremely poor, after he hugged Wanyan Zongwang's thigh, he ignored these generals, and now Wanyan Zongwang is dead, his master is gone, and naturally the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing.

"It's still not appropriate to kill him, it's better to escort him to Shangjing, if he is killed, I'm afraid it will make the people of the Song Dynasty who want to belong to our army fearful, but it will not be conducive to the future rule of our dynasty." Wanyan Zonghan shook his head and said.

"Then as you said, escort this person back to Beijing." After a pause, Wanyan Xiyin continued: "Since there is no point in staying in this place, it is better to hurry up and leave, after all, we are not very clear about the situation in the capital now, and we can't afford to wait here all the time." ”
