Chapter 1426: Greed for Merit

Jiutai Beach, Wanyan Zongbi stood on the city wall, slapped it down, the mud splashed on the city wall, which made him extremely unhappy, but Wanyan Yu next to him was lazily standing on the side, just looking at the big camp in the distance, flashing with a trace of red light, faintly bloody.

"What, unwilling?" Wan Yan said with a lazy smile.

"Hmph, it's just lost now, and it's not lost forever." Wanyan Zongbi said indifferently. Wan Yan Sheng's holy decree made Wan Yan Zongbi have to obey it, and of course, more importantly, he thought that Wan Yan Sheng's plan was feasible.

"So what are you waiting for? Retreat! Wan Yan Yu said lazily.

"Then leave overnight, otherwise, Brother Xiao Wei will definitely not be fooled." Wanyan Zongbi made up his mind fiercely, and said: "You lead the soldiers and horses first, get here, and then bypass Brother Xiao Wei's back, I will go and wait for Brother Xiao Wei, and when I fight with Brother Xiao Wei, you will kill immediately, our number of soldiers and horses is above Brother Xiao Wei, and if you attack suddenly, you will definitely be able to defeat the other party." Brother Xiao Wei will definitely think that our rear has been attacked, there is not enough food and grass, and we retreat in a hurry, this is our chance, as long as Brother Xiao Wei is defeated, the entire grassland of Datang will be ours. ”

"He would never have thought that although Boyan had a lot of soldiers and horses, he had been dragged by His Majesty." Wanyan Yu lazily raised the whip in his hand and said: "Your Majesty is still wise and martial, let Li Jing be proud for a while, let him send troops and horses south to destroy the Song Dynasty, and Your Majesty himself personally led the army westward to seize the grassland." ”

"That's nature." Wanyan Zongbi's eyes flickered, but he was shocked in his heart, and he had to admit that he underestimated Wanyan Sheng, and thought that the war was naturally Wanyan Agu's strength, but now it seems that Wanyan Sheng's guy also has a hand in fighting, just this move, Mo said that Li Jingyuan didn't know in Jiangnan, even he was kept in the dark, until Wanyan Sheng's army blocked Boyan, and he didn't get the news, which shows Wanyan Sheng's forbearance.

"Then I'll withdraw the army first, although you just leave, hehe, if you knew this, don't build this Great Wall." Wan Yan Yu lazily looked at the city wall in front of him, revealing a trace of irony, it was because it was difficult to resist the attack of the Tang army that he would let the construction of this Great Wall, but he didn't expect that after the Great Wall was built, he actually came to this trick, and what was even more terrifying was that such a plan was actually agreed to by Wan Yan Sheng.

"It costs hundreds of thousands of taels, if you can defeat Brother Xiao Wei's 100,000 army and control the entire grassland, this money is still very cost-effective." Wanyan Zongbi thought about it carefully, his face was solemn, such an emperor is not something that anyone can calculate, and it is not a simple matter to get anything from him. Soon, he put this thought behind him, and the most important thing now is to solve the problem at hand.

Although Xiao Wei was suspicious of the Jin people's retreat, he quickly put this doubt behind him, because he thought that Boyan had won a victory in the rear, and the Jin people would retreat because of their own food and grass.

"The Jin people are probably retreating because of the grain and grass, and it seems that General Boyan has made a contribution." Deputy General Chen Ren said with a smile: "Now our side is also relieved, after the Jin people retreat, the entire grassland will return to before, at least there will be no danger before the snow melts." ”

Brother Xiao Wei's gray beard trembled, and his eyes flashed with a trace of unwillingness, and said: "The Jin people have retreated, this is an excellent opportunity, General Boyan and Lu Shisang will definitely block in front, if we follow closely, we will definitely be able to defeat the other party and leave Wanyan Zongbi on the grassland, what does General Chen think?" ”

"No, although the Jin people retreated, but the strength is still there, the strength is slightly more than ours, if we force an attack, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, the last general thinks, at this time, it is better to be careful, wait for Your Majesty to go north next year, and it is best to attack the enemy in one fell swoop." Chen Ren dissuaded. As a guard of Yanmen Pass, he is still more cautious by nature.

"General Chen is too cautious, my Tang soldiers and horses are strong, the soldiers are sharp, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in front of him to chase and intercept, Wan Yan Zongbi will definitely not dare to compete with our army at this time, and he is bent on escaping, the last general believes that at this time, General Boyan and General Lu Shisang will definitely block the return of Yan Zongbi in front, and this time is the best time to attack." Xiao Yan knew his father's thoughts, and retorted on the side: "It would be a pity if we gave up the opportunity at this time, General Chen, look at my generals of the Tang Dynasty, General Boyan swept across the grassland, General Gao Zhong and General Lin Chong expanded the land for the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions for thousands of miles, and became famous all over the world, at this time, if we don't work hard and spread it to the imperial court, wouldn't it make the world laugh?" "This is a good opportunity, not only Brother Xiao Wei thinks so, but also Xiao Yan.

"Wanyan Zongbi is insidious and cunning, even if he retreats, he will be cautious, let's be careful." Chen Ren thought for a while and said: "The last general thinks that it is better to advance slowly, we are far away from General Boyan and General Lu Shinang, and we don't know the situation ahead, it is better to wait for a while, wait for the news from the secret guard, maybe the chance of success is greater." ”

Chen Ren is against this kind of greedy merit, it seems that he should be attacking at this time, but in fact, he always feels that something is inappropriate, if the Jin people are so easy to be defeated, then they are not Jin people. will not be regarded as a fierce rival by the Tang Emperor. At this time, rash attack, if you don't get it right, it will have a bad effect, after all, the soldiers and horses under Brother Xiao Wei are not absolutely dominant.

"If General Chen is worried, he can stay in Wuchuan." Brother Xiao Wei took a deep breath and said: "Such an excellent opportunity, you must not miss it, even if you have a heavy loss, you must defeat Wanyan Zongbi, once Wanyan Zongbi loses a lot, you will definitely not be able to escape the blocking of General Boyan and General Lu." ”​

"General." Chen Ren's face changed, and he couldn't help but say: "It doesn't matter if Wuchuan is guarded by the eldest prince, but the last general thinks that this matter should be considered more, at the very least, we also need to get in touch with General Boyan before making a decision." ”

"No need, the military situation is urgent, if you wait until that time, Wanyan Zongbi may have fled, I think at this time, Wanyan Zongbi has insufficient food and grass in his hands, and our army has been attacking for a long time behind him, and there is a shortage of food and grass, at this time, it is the best moment for us to attack." Brother Xiao Wei refused without thinking about it, he glanced at Xiao Yan and said: "Xiao Yan, lead 30,000 troops as the forward, after chasing Yan Zongbi tomorrow, this general will lead 50,000 troops for the Chinese army, Xiao Shi will lead 10,000 troops for the rear army, as for General Chen, lead 20,000 troops to sit in Jiutaitan!" ”

"Yes." Xiao Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly responded.
