Yue Fei led five thousand soldiers and pursued Wanyan Zonghan non-stop.

Wanyan Zonghan led the remaining more than 20,000 Jin troops all the way to the east, borrowing the road to the north.

"How far is the Song army from our army?" Wanyan Zonghan asked his own guard standing next to him and said.

"Returning to the general, the distance between the Song army and our army is no more than twenty miles, and they bite us very close." The guard replied.

The distance of twenty miles is too close, this is like a sharp arrow hanging high over people's heads, which makes Wanyan Zonghan feel like he is stuck in his throat.

"It's just that I didn't expect that General Wanyanhuo was not able to resist the soldiers and horses of the Song army." Zhao Tang said softly.

"No, Lord Zhao, it's not that General Wan Yanhuo didn't resist the soldiers and horses of the Song army, but that the Song army has now divided its troops, and Yue Fei left half of the people to encircle and suppress General Wan Yanhuo, and now he personally leads five thousand elites to pursue our army!" The guard replied.

"What? Do you mean to say that our 20,000 people were pursued by the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Song army? Zhao Tang asked suspiciously.

The guard nodded, though he didn't want to admit it, but it was an indisputable fact.

"General......" Zhao Tang looked at Wanyan Zonghan in front of him, and said without saying anything.

Wanyan Zonghan smiled bitterly and said to Zhao Tang: "I understand everything you want to say, but to be honest, the variables of going south this time are too big, and I don't dare to take this risk." ”

Zhao Tang naturally understood Yan Zonghan's concerns, Yue Fei dared to come over with 5,000 soldiers and horses to pursue the 20,000 soldiers and horses on his side, if there was nothing to rely on, it would be impossible.

Although Yue Fei is not very old, Wanyan Zonghan has to admit that Yue Fei is an extremely difficult opponent, not to mention using soldiers like a god, but his military attainments are definitely extremely talented, he can use 5,000 soldiers and horses to pursue his more than 20,000 people, he must want to bite his more than 20,000 people firmly, and when the time comes, he will buy time for the army behind, and then he can eat all these people of his own.

There are more than 20,000 people on his side, and there are only more than 5,000 people on the other side, it stands to reason that the ratio of such a number of people has reached a ratio of five to one, and it is really trivial to swallow Yue Fei's soldiers and horses, but Wanyan Zonghan does not dare to take this risk at all.

The process of fighting with Yue Fei in the past has made Wanyan Zonghan deeply realize the terrible thing about this little general, although the other party only has 5,000 people, but the combat power exerted will definitely not be worse than the combat effectiveness of 10,000 people on his side, as long as the 5,000 soldiers and horses behind him swallow the 2,000 people of the death squad they left behind, and catch up, his side will really be bitten.

"The new monarch of the Song Dynasty knows how to make good use of it!" Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this time, and the worry in his heart was even worse.

Once upon a time, Jin Guojue's Song Dynasty was a superior country, the Song Dynasty was highly civilized, and it has always been a model worthy of learning from the Jin Dynasty, so at the beginning of the Jin State and the Song Dynasty's maritime alliance and the discussion of jointly resisting Liao, the Jin State has always implemented the gift of the Song Dynasty, including the subsequent war, the Jin State is also very friendly to the Song Dynasty.

But then I had more contact, and many Jin generals found that things were not the same thing at all, maybe the civilization of the Song Dynasty was very developed, but the officials of the Song Dynasty were all like fools, arrogant and arrogant, only knew how to fight in the nest, in fact, the outside was strong and the middle was dry, and it was too simple to destroy such a country.

Therefore, Wanyan Wu Qimai ordered everyone to go south to attack the Song Dynasty, and it was very victorious, directly taking the original Song Dynasty's Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and then there was a way to the south, directly taking the capital of the Song Dynasty, Bianjing.

When he thought that the matter was going to end like this, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was really scared, and kept writing letters to Wu begging for forgiveness from the Wanyan Wu of the Jin State.

But at that time, Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai was such a wise person, naturally he would not make such a mistake, and he had only one goal, that is, to destroy the Song Dynasty.

Everything seemed to be going very smoothly until the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, the current Emperor Zhao Ji, was so frightened that he was ready to flee south at this time, and gave up the imperial throne to his eldest son, the crown prince Zhao Huan.

For this point, Jin Jun didn't take it to heart at all, after all, in their opinion, such a thing would not have a big impact on them, no matter who was the emperor of the Song Dynasty, it didn't matter in the eyes of Jin Guo, this historical civilization country was already full of holes at this time, and he was already rotten from the inside out.

But they have forgotten what Emperor Taizu of the Jin Kingdom said before, the Song Dynasty is a sleeping beast, once he wakes up, it will be a major disaster for us.

It turned out that Wanyan Zonghan just listened to this sentence as a joke, but now that I think about it, it is still Emperor Taizu who is the most far-sighted.

Thinking of this, Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling a sense of self-deprecation.

"General, what are you thinking?" Zhao Tang looked at the uncertain expression on Yan Zonghan's face, and couldn't help but ask.

Wanyan Zonghan didn't have any concealment of this idea at this time, so he told Zhao Tang what he had just thought of.

After hearing this, Zhao Tang smiled bitterly and said, "Emperor Taizu is really eloquent, he must have expected today's situation a long time ago." ”

Wanyan Zonghan nodded and said, "Yes, it's only now that we understand this, but it's a little late to think about it, the court is still fighting for power and profit, and how many people have already realized that the sleeping beast of the Song Dynasty has woken up?" ”

Zhao Tang took a deep breath and said to Wanyan Zonghan: "General, don't blame yourself, this matter is not to blame you, and it is not something you can decide, I think that after I go back, the format in the court should also change, and the new monarch will succeed to the throne, and the first thing should be to report this matter to the new monarch." ”

Wanyan Zonghan nodded and said, "What you said is good. After a pause, he smiled bitterly again, and said to Zhao Tang: "Forget it, it's still unknown whether we can go back, it's really too early to think about these things now." ”。

Zhao Tang knew Yan Zonghan's worries, and he said encouragingly: "General, you must be confident, you must firmly believe that we will definitely be able to return to Shangjing." ”

Wanyan Zonghan knew that Zhao Tang was comforting himself, but at this time when his confidence was seriously lacking, Wanyan Zonghan needed this kind of comfort.
