Beneath the hill, Wanyan Agu Dazema stood on the dark hillside. In front of his eyes, the torches were heading north like a river, and the river of torches composed of hundreds of thousands of troops was still magnificent. I think that back then, when Wanyan Agu raised an army, there were no more than 1,000 Jurchen cavalry in his hands, how could he have imagined that one day he could have an army of more than 100,000 and such a huge number of soldiers and horses in front of him. If Wanyan Agu had so many soldiers and horses at that time, he would have laughed out loud even if he dreamed.

However, at this moment, Cema was under the starlight, and Aguda's mood was extremely low and gloomy. That's because he once had an army three times more than the soldiers and horses in front of him, and that was why the sky was as overwhelming as the endless forest on Changbai Mountain, like a dark cloud covering the wasteland. He led hundreds of thousands of troops southward and swept through the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, like a bamboo. He once thought that he could get the splendid country of the Great Zhou without much effort. But in the last two months, he has experienced a nightmare series of blows. This series of blows shattered the dream in his heart, and he had to make a new choice.

Although the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in front of him are still huge, they are no longer enough to complete the great cause in his heart. No matter how unwilling he is, he must make a wise choice.

Yesterday evening, he received the last thing he wanted to hear. His 60,000 elite cavalry, led by his two most trusted and most important right-hand men, Yalu Buhua, led by Alibai, plus Lu Zhongtian's 10,000 cavalry. A total of 70,000 elite cavalry. It actually folded in the Fangcheng Pass.

Yalu Buhua and Ali Bai hid in the mountains, and only a few thousand remnants of the defeated army were left, and they had no choice but to send a message from Hai Dongqing, recounting the battle, and asking themselves to rescue them.

The moment he received the news, he was almost spurting blood. He couldn't figure out how the 70,000 army was trapped at the pass of Fangcheng Mountain. The defeated generals of the Northwest Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty actually rushed from the distant Taiyuan Mansion to the Fangcheng Mountain Pass and completed the final blow. Wanyan Agu couldn't believe that this news was actually true. If it weren't for the letter sent by Hai Dongqing from Ali Bai and Yalu Buhua, he even thought it was a big joke.

After scolding Yalu Buhua and Ali Bai for being incompetent, Wanyan Aguda finally realized what the problem was. Everything originated from the letter from Lin Jue, who was intercepted by himself. The letter was a decoy. Now that I think about it, what an obvious flaw in a letter, what an obvious bait, and yet I fell for it. I was tricked by Lin Jue, or I actually took the bait voluntarily. Lin Jue used a straight hook to fish, and he actually took the bait. It's just incredible. What did you think at the time? How did you fall for this? It's just stupid.

Wanyan Agu remembered Li Guoqiu's words at the beginning, and he was disdainful of his words at that time, and even ridiculed him. Now that I think about it, Li Guoqiu's words are completely correct. Not only is he inferior to Lin Jue, but even Li Guoqiu is inferior. I think I am eloquent and resourceful, but in fact, I think it is all my own, in fact, I am an ordinary person or even more ordinary

People have to be stupid stupid. Realizing this made Wanyan Agu even more lost and painful. This loss and pain is even worse than the annihilation of his own army of 70,000. That is tantamount to revealing the fact that he is not actually the chosen one, but just a self-righteous fool. What a terrible fact this is.

Of course, Wanyan Aguda must not admit that he was deceived, and when he summoned the generals to tell them the bad news, Wanyan Aguda decisively put the responsibility on the two good brothers. Yalu Buhua and Alibai really couldn't clear their name, first of all, it was an incredible thing that their 70,000 army failed to take the pass before the other party's reinforcements arrived. Later, when they realized that they had set up an ambush, they abandoned their mounts and were incredibly stupid. It is said that it is to protect the soldiers and horses and lead the army out of danger as soon as possible, but this move directly led to the end of the entire army, which is irrefutable.

All the Jurchen generals were shocked and almost dropped their jaws after learning the news. Such a result was something they simply did not expect. The Great Chieftain blamed the incompetence of Yaru Buhua and Alibai, and of course they thought it was certain. Because their big leader did not tell them the whole truth, Wanyan Agu told the generals not to set up an ambush in advance of the Luoyan army, but to rescue Lin Jue and others who were trapped on the ten-mile long post, and the remaining Luoyan army in Funiu Mountain took the initiative to dispatch, and happened to encounter Yalu Buhua and Alibai at the pass of Fangcheng Mountain. It's actually an encounter. Yalu Buhua and Alibai could have eaten each other with superior forces, but they failed to do so, and instead made frequent tricks and were annihilated by the other party. According to this argument, the responsibility is not Yalu Buhua and Alibai, who else can be?

Wanyan Aguda used lies to cover up his stupidity, he knew that once his generals knew the truth, his image as a wise and martial artist, the Chosen One sent by the Immortal Heaven to rule the world, would completely collapse, and he would completely lose everything he had worked so hard to manage.

In the letter from Yalu Buhua and Alibai, the great leader was expected to send troops to save him, which was absolutely impossible. Even if there were no other considerations, purely from a military point of view, it was impossible for Wanyan Aguda to send another army of soldiers and horses to the rescue. Judging from the descriptions in Yalu Buhua and Ali Baixin, there are now 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses in the area of Fangcheng Mountain that have converged with the Luoyan Army and the Northwest Army, which cannot be solved by casually sending tens of thousands of horses. Besides, once Yalu Buhua and Alibai come back alive, then the lies they weaved will be revealed to the world, and it will not be possible. Although these two are his right-hand men and his brothers for many years, it is absolutely impossible for Wanyan Aguda to rescue them at this moment. It can't be saved militarily or interests, these two good brothers have only one way, and that is to die there, and there is no choice.

The problem facing Wanyan Aguda is extremely serious. The defeat of Yalu Buhua and Alibai led to extremely serious consequences. The 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses assembled by the other side will definitely come after a great victory. Now there are only 180,000 soldiers and horses besieging the hill, and once the other side's reinforcements arrive, the strength is almost the same, and the other side has terrifying firearms and higher combat effectiveness. Once the inside and outside should join forces to launch a large-scale war, since

There is no chance of victory. Lu Zhongtian has some soldiers and horses in his hands, but Lu Zhongtian is unreliable, and it can be seen from his move to withdraw his troops back to Bianliang under the pretext that this old fox is completely unreliable. With his own soldiers and horses, even if he wins this battle, how many soldiers and horses can he have left in the end? If one's own strength is greatly weakened, the consequences will be catastrophic. His ambitions are still shattered, and he will not be able to gain a foothold in the territory of the Great Zhou. What's even more terrifying is that once his strength is weakened, he will not be able to control the Liao State. The drawbacks of rushing to attack Da Zhou at the beginning became apparent. When their own soldiers were strong, the Liao people were naturally obedient and willing to be their allies, providing a large amount of manpower and material resources to themselves, because they did not want to offend themselves and did not want to lose their country. And it was precisely by using their last hope that he was able to kidnap them and exhaust his manpower and material resources as a support base for his southward journey.

In fact, all the power he had before came from having powerful soldiers and horses. Once this is lost, everything is in the air. It doesn't matter if the Great Zhou can't gain a foothold, and the northern land will not be able to gain a foothold, and the Liao people will ruthlessly destroy themselves, which is simply certain.

Therefore, at this moment, Wanyan Aguda must make a difficult choice. Is it a desperate fight, or give up their dream of dominating the world, retreat to the next best, and preserve their strength. In fact, the reason why this choice is difficult is more because of the inner struggle, and anyone with a little intelligence knows how to make a choice. Retreat and preserve their existing strength, in the current situation, not only can the Liao people still dare not turn their faces, but also can occupy the northeast of the Great Zhou with nearly 200,000 troops. Then look at how the situation develops and decide how to turn it around next. If we stabilize the current trend of decline and stabilize the hearts and minds of the army, we will still have a chance.

Of course, Wanyan Aguda chose to withdraw his troops, and he did not hesitate to withdraw his troops, and he withdrew his troops immediately. He ordered the generals to secretly prepare the camp after dark, and quickly evacuate at the same time after the third watch. The army quickly assembled and headed north, without any entanglement or lingering. Even if the Falling Goose Army on the hill knew, they wouldn't have time to stop it. In fact, they are powerless to stop it.

Standing on the hill, Wanyan Agu looked gloomy and depressed. But it is reassuring to know that his plan to withdraw troops has not been thwarted in any way. The Falling Goose Army did not make any pursuit movements. Wanyan Agu looked back at the hill not far away, the hill was not tall and steep, but he was trapped for more than a month, and finally he couldn't take here. Wanyan Aguda knew that it was all because there was a person named Lin Jue on that hill, and this person was the same as this hill, looking sharp and easy to conquer, but under his weak appearance, there was a fierce strength like a lion, a cunning wisdom like a fox, and a bottomless ability like a deep pool.

"Lin Jue, Lin Jue, all this is thanks to you, don't worry, our contest is not over yet, you won a game, but who is the final winner is not yet known."

Wanyan Agu thought coldly in his heart. Suddenly, he shouted, whipped his horse, and rushed down the mountain. The mount merged into the torrent of billowing torches and headed north.
