After the news of He Chongbao's defeat and capture was transmitted back to Youzhou, the lord of Liao was almost frightened, and he immediately summoned Zhongzhong to gather in the main hall.

After gathering hundreds of civil and military officials, the lord of the Liao State looked at the left prime minister Youxi Xiaojin, the right prime minister Chu Jian, the general of the unified army Wu Yan and the other civil and military officers in the main hall and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that General He Chongbao has also been defeated, I don't think this place in Youzhou is safe, in my opinion, let's withdraw to Shangjing.

In the past, we moved the imperial capital here, because the Song Kingdom was weak in the past, and we can wave our troops south at any time when we sit in this Youzhou land.

went to seize the flowers and rivers of the Song Kingdom, but now the situation is different, since the Song Kingdom came out with a God of Martial Wealth, their country has developed too fast.

Now that the Song State is strong and strong, we no longer have the strength to attack them, and now it is useless for us to stay in this Youzhou.

Not only is it useless, but according to the current situation, it will be very dangerous for us to stay here, and I am afraid it will not be long.

The Song army will arrive here, so let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible while this place is not yet surrounded by the Song army. ”

As soon as the words of the lord of the Liao State fell, all the civil and military officers looked at each other. mixed up with them to this point, in addition to the military generals, there are a few civilian officials who are not afraid of death.

And although those generals are not afraid of death, they don't dare to persuade the lord to change his mind, after all, it is indeed too dangerous here in Youzhou.

They were not afraid of death, but they did not necessarily have the confidence to let the lord of the country stay in such a dangerous place to face the Song army with them.

The Wuyan Commander stepped forward and said: "The wolf lord is wise, the minister will take everyone to protect the lord of the country back to Shangjing first, and wait until you are escorted back to Shangjing safely, wolf lord."

The minister must personally lead my Da Liao warriors to fight to the death with the Song army. After listening to the words of the Wuyan commander, the lord of the Liao State finally relieved his heart.

He looked at the Wuyan commander and said approvingly: "With General Wuyan escorting me, then I can rest assured, I believe in the bravery of General Wuyan."

I will definitely be able to escort me back to our old capital to Beijing safely. It's not that I don't want this Youzhou City, it's just that we've been fighting with the Jin Kingdom for many years.

And in this land of Yanyun, each state and county needs to divide troops to defend it, and now it is really impossible to draw out extra troops to protect Youzhou.

General Wuyan wants to escort us back to Shangjing, and this Youzhou City will be cheaper for their Song people. Without further ado, let's get going. ”

After finishing speaking, the lord of the Liao State directly packed up and saluted, and took the civil and military officials under the escort of the Wuyan commander, and directly abandoned the city and fled.

The Liao army abandoned Youzhou and fled, and Lu Junyi naturally would not be polite. He directly led the army into Youzhou City.

The Song army occupied Youzhou, and the first thing was to go out and appease the people. Immediately, Lu Junyi called Wu Ming again.

Tell Wu Ming that Youzhou has fallen into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty. Ask Wu Ming what to do next, is to continue to pursue the lord of Liao.

Or do you want to rest your troops in Youzhou City, let everyone relax and relax, and then attack the rest of the Liao Kingdom?

After listening to Lu Junyi's report, Wu Ming directly told Lu Junyi that there was no need to pursue the lord of Liao, since the Taizhen horse of Xiongzhou dared to bring troops over to disrupt the situation when you attacked Youzhou.

Then they have to be prepared to be retaliated against, originally Wu Ming did not plan to attack the other state capitals in the sixteen states of Yanyun.

After all, according to Wu Ming's marching route, Danzhou, Jizhou, Bazhou, and Youzhou, this is a straight line, after defeating these state capitals.

You can go directly to the administrative center of Liao, and go to Beijing. As for the other state capitals, it's not that Wu Ming doesn't want to fight.

It's that Wu Ming didn't have too many generals to lead this time, and Wu Ming didn't want to divide his troops to occupy those cities that didn't go way.

For every additional city occupied, an additional general and a part of the soldiers had to be assigned to defend it, which was a serious waste of resources.

Doing so is not only a waste of resources but also a waste of time, it is better to smash Huanglong and take Shangjing in one go, as long as Shangjing is taken and the lord of Liao is captured alive.

Wu Ming didn't believe that the lords of the Liao State had been captured alive, so the remaining guards from all over the country would not surrender, and at that time.

Even if there are only a few who do not surrender, it will have little impact on the whole, and Wu Ming will send troops to destroy the generals who refuse to surrender.

The generals who were willing to surrender directly replaced the defensive places and continued to let the Liao people manage the Liao people, but they changed from officials of the Liao people to officials of the Liao County of the Great Song State.

Although Wu Ming's plan is like this, the plan can never catch up with the changes. First, Yan Yun eighteen rode lightning to shoot.

directly took Suzhou as a gift for them to defect to Wuming, followed by Lu Junyi when he led his troops to attack Youzhou.

Xiongzhou's Taizhen Horse led the troops out to make trouble for Lu Junyi, for such a thorn, Wu Ming would definitely not get used to them.

Wu Ming didn't take the initiative to attack them, but they took the initiative to jump out to make trouble for Wu Ming, for Wu Ming, this initiative jumped out of the chicken that killed the chicken and set an example for the monkey.

First clean up this chicken that doesn't know whether it is alive or dead, and see which state guard's guard will jump out and make trouble after cleaning up this model.

Wu Ming gave Lu Junyi an order to let Dadao Guan Sheng and the urgent vanguard Suo Chao lead 10,000 horses to go to Xiongzhou to defeat Taizhen's horses.

In Wu Ming's opinion, there are only 20,000 Liao troops under Xiongzhou Taizhen's horses, and these 20,000 Liao troops are not all elite like Liangshan's rebellion.

The 10,000 horses he sent out were definitely worthy of the defenders of Xiongzhou, but what Wu Ming didn't expect was.

Taizhen seemed to be completely frightened by the Liangshan rebel army, when Guan Sheng and Suo Chao led the men and horses to just arrive at the city of Xiongzhou.

The Xiongzhou guard Taizhen Horse and his deputy General Li Jinwu abandoned the city and fled with his men, but this Taizhen Horse was more vicious.

Although he escaped, in order to prevent the Song army from pursuing him, he had his men set fire everywhere in Xiongzhou City before he escaped.

Guan Sheng saw Xiongzhou City on fire everywhere, and he had no choice, or the safety of the people's lives and property was important.

In order to help the people put out the fire, Guan Sheng could only watch Taizhen escape with his horse, but he couldn't pursue it.

If he didn't care about the life or death of the people of Xiongzhou, and directly led the troops to pursue the arson culprit Taizhen Concubine, he would definitely be able to catch up with them.

However, if this is done, the fire in Xiongzhou City will be due to the shortage of manpower to fight the fire, and the people of Xiongzhou will suffer greater losses.

Guan Sheng has been following Wu Ming for a long time, and he naturally knows how to make a trade-off in such a situation. For Wu Ming.

The safety of the people is the most important thing, as for Taizhen Pony, he will flee if he escapes, anyway, he can't be caught this time.

And next time, there are so many opportunities, and now you can't afford to lose a big thing.
