Chapter 498 Closure

The loss of Shanhaiguan is definitely fatal news for Jin Guo.

"Shanhaiguan lost? When did it happen? Wan Yanliang glared at his eyes and said with a roar.

"Your Majesty, when the defenders of Shencheng wanted to enter the customs, they were blocked by Shanhaiguan, but they still made a detour to the sea to pass on the news!" The herald said to Wan Yanliang.

Hearing the news, Wan Yanliang's whole person was about to explode.

"So the defenders of Shanhaiguan surrendered to the Song Dynasty?" Wan Yanliang had a cold face, as if he was going to kill someone.

The herald lowered his head and said, "My subordinates don't know. ”

How could a small herald know about such an important matter.

"Your Majesty, Shanhaiguan is very important, and it must be in the hands of our army, otherwise we will be passive." At this time, Shanhe stood up and said.

Wan Yanliang naturally understands one of the truths, Shanhaiguan is the only way for the Jin army to enter the customs, and of course it is also the only way to retreat, out of Shanhaiguan, that is, the base camp of the Jin country, even if the Jin country is defeated on the front line, he can return to the base camp at any time for repair.

But now, Shanhaiguan has been lost like this, and the most important thing is how this Shanhaiguan was lost, and how many Song troops there are in the city, they don't know at all.

Wan Yan Liang felt that the whole person was not good, and ordered: "Check, give me a thorough investigation of the situation at Shanhaiguan, and in addition, send an order to the Wanyan Hall of the Shencheng garrison, let him gather a large army, and he must take Shanhaiguan back." ”

Shanhe hesitated for a moment, and said to Wan Yan Liang: "Your Majesty, the Song army took the initiative to occupy Shanhaiguan, and with 30,000 soldiers and horses led by General Wanyan Hall, I am afraid that it will not be able to take Shanhaiguan." ”

Wan Yanliang took a deep breath, why didn't he understand this truth, but in this situation, the Song army had already pressed up, did he still have to divide his troops to attack Shanhaiguan?

Wan Yanliang suddenly regretted a little, he moved the capital so rashly, it was really too hasty, and now that the back roads have been cut off, how can he fight with Song Jun?

In fact, they still have an advantage in numbers, but they have fallen behind in weapons, and now that the back road has been cut off, then he really has no advantage at all.

"Pass on my military order, block the news, and don't disclose the news of the loss of Shanhaiguan to anyone." Wan Yanliang gave the death order and said, he was really worried that the news of the loss of Shanhaiguan would disturb the morale of the army after it spread.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late." At this time, Wu Qing, the head of the household, said to Wan Yanliang.

"What do you mean by that?" Wan Yanliang frowned and said to Wu Qing.

"Today, when the minister went to the early court, I heard someone talk about this incident on the road, but at the time I heard it as a joke, thinking that the Song army deliberately hit the morale of our army, and now that I think about it, I am afraid that someone has already spread the news." Wu Qing said to Wan Yanliang.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Prime Minister Zuo Cheng stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, there is an old saying in the Song Dynasty that the outside must first be safe, and now at this time, we must still take back Shanhaiguan first." ”

Wan Yanliang listened quietly and did not speak.

Zhan Xian continued: "Now Your Majesty has asked General Wanyan Hall to lead an army of 30,000 to attack from the north, and another general will be sent here to attack from the south. ”

Wan Yan Liang summed up the feasibility of this matter in his mind.

It seems that this can only be done at this time, otherwise if the army knows that Shanhaiguan has been lost now, I am afraid that the army's morale will change again, and it will be a big trouble.

And now in this situation, the Song army has powerful arrows, they have no countermeasures in a short period of time, and it is impossible to take the initiative to attack at this time, and it is a good choice to recover Shanhaiguan.

"Mountains and rivers receive orders!" Wan Yanliang said to Shanhe.

Shanhe hurriedly knelt down.

"I have appointed you as the general of the conquest, leading an army of 100,000 troops, and marching to the Shanhaiguan in a hurry, and I must take the Shanhaiguan back at all costs."

Unexpectedly, Wan Yan Liang actually sent out 100,000 people directly, Shanhe was stunned, and then hurriedly said to Wan Yan Liang: "The last general will not disgrace the mission!" ”

Leading an army of 100,000, in Heshan's opinion, this is absolutely foolproof, but he doesn't know what he will face next, Yue Fei, and the most elite Feiyu army under Yue Fei's command.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Youzhou City, saying that Heshan is leading an army of 100,000 and is heading in the direction of Shanhaiguan." Han Shizhong came over and said to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan heard what Han Shizhong said, nodded, and said, "Pengju acted quickly enough this time, I thought I would wait a few more days." ”

It was also at this time that Han Shizhong learned that Yue Fei was not at home by Zhao Huan, but went to Shanhaiguan, and now Shanhaiguan was held in the hands of the Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the Jin army.

"Your Majesty, Pengju only brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, and now the 100,000 troops of the Jin Army have passed, plus the army from the capital, when the time comes, the two sides will be in danger." Han Shizhong said worriedly.

In this regard, Zhao Huan was not worried at all, and said: "Unless Wan Yanliang withdraws all the troops, otherwise, they will not want to break through the Shanhai Pass guarded by Pengju." ”

Han Shizhong didn't know where Zhao Huan came from, but seeing that he actually said this, it must be foolproof to come to Shanhaiguan, so he nodded and didn't say anything more.

Zhao Huan thought for a while and said to Han Shizhong: "We can't be so idle here, since the Jin army wants to go to Shanhaiguan, let's add some material to them, pass on the order to Liu Moyu, and let him lead people to ambush the Jin army in Tongzhou." ”

"I'll do it." Han Shizhong took the order and left.

"Wait!" Zhao Huan continued: "Tell Liu Moyu and let him point to the end, the purpose of this time is just to kill the Jin army, and there is no need to completely annihilate them, don't let him miss the king's big thing." ”

Han Shizhong agreed and left from Zhao Huan's tent, no wonder Zhao Huan had such thoughts, after all, Liu Moyu was completely crazy when he started fighting, and sometimes he was in a state of not dying, and Zhao Huan's purpose this time was to harass him.

Liu Moyu went, took away fifty arrows and 50,000 troops, and ambushed them in Tongzhou, while Zhao Huan also led the remaining 250,000 troops to Youzhou City.

The army of 250,000 surrounded Youzhou City in three directions, east, west and south.
