The Song army was defeated, and it was completely defeated. Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ.

Two battles and two defeats, the first battle was lucky to lose 6,000 people, and in the final defeat, nearly 30,000 forbidden troops followed Ye Liangchen to rush into Zhending City - caught in the urn.

Only 4,000 people from Wu Song's headquarters remained, plus the thousands of forbidden troops who escaped, the total number was less than 10,000.

Among the 10,000 people, there are still a few thousand people under Wu Song, and the rest of the forbidden army has fled and scattered when they see that the general trend has gone.

Wu Song took the four thousand headquarters and circled around Zhending City, and found that the 'gates' of the Sifang City were tightly closed, and he couldn't find the slightest chance to enter the city for rescue.

Moreover, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to attack the city with his small number of people, I am afraid that if he stays for a while, the 'chaotic' army in the city will solve the forbidden army, and tens of thousands of horses will be killed, and Wu Song and them will not be able to protect themselves.

The forbidden army in the city and Ye Liangchen and other generals were wiped out, the general trend has really gone, Wu Song immediately ordered the remaining troops to retreat to five miles outside the city to look, until not long, the killing sound in the city gradually dissipated, and after determining that the forbidden army in the city really did not have any chance to break through, Wu Song gritted his teeth and led the remaining remnants of the defeated army to Taiyuan Mansion in the west of Zhending Mansion.

In the evening of the same day, the spies came with specific news in Zhending City-

Half of the nearly 30,000 forbidden troops who rushed into the city were surrounded and annihilated, and the rest of the troops, under the leadership of the commander Ye Liangchen, had surrendered to the 'chaotic' army.

Including the commander and the senior generals, the 'chaos' army captured more than 15,000 people of the Song army!

After Wu Song, who rushed to Taiyuan Mansion, integrated the army, he also learned that most of the thousands of people who escaped from the forbidden army were shield soldiers and crossbowmen who moved slowly, and the 20,000 cavalry with the most 'fine' equipment and the largest investment rushed into the city, and none of them escaped.

…………

The Song army fought this great defeat that made people sigh, and when the war report was still on the way to the imperial court, it had already spread among the common people in Hebei, Shandong and other places.

Hearing such news, the people are no longer calm, as soon as they mention this stubble, they scold, even the aunts in the neighborhood and village who are most indifferent to the affairs of the family and the country, will be full of disdain and ruthless "bah", and scold the north in a rough voice, "Xiong Banjun, the leader of the loser!" ”

This kind of news does not need to be deliberately processed and exaggerated by folk rumors, and newspapers everywhere just report according to the documentary reports of war correspondents, which has already caused an uproar among the people, and the literati have been 'aroused' by the masses!

If it's just that the strength of the army is not good, it's okay, the most hateful thing is this kind of obviously winning the battle, but the scourge of Ye Liangchen ruined the entire good war situation!

It's really not enough to succeed, more than enough to lose!

…………

In addition to regret, Wu Zhi's mood was more solemn and uneasy.

dignified because he knew that Ye Liangchen was the nephew of Wang Huang, the vice minister of the DPRK, in this defeat report, Ye Liangchen was undoubtedly the culprit, and he also took the lead in surrendering, even if he was rescued safely in the end, according to military law, he should be cut with a thousand knives!

However, there is Wang Huang in the court, and he is likely to reverse black and white, and even push the black pot to the head of Wu Song, one of the only main generals in the battle who was not captured.

The reason can also be found, because on the battlefield, Wu Songyi did not follow and rush into Zhending City, nor did he stop the boss from rushing into the city in time, as long as it is slightly exaggerated and smeared, these two reasons are enough to put Wu Song in danger.

What's more, Tong Guan is still in charge of military affairs in the court, once Wang Hao colludes with him to frame Wu Song, then even if Murong Yanda helps the court speak, it will be useless.

- The truth must be spread in Bianjing before they do.

Fortunately, Wu Zhi has the Bianjing Daily in his hands, and at the first time after the end of the war, the specific war records have been tied to the 'legs' of several carrier pigeons in batches and flown to Bianjing.

Now the Bianjing Daily has been completely popularized in every corner of Bianjing, not only the common people and ministers of the court and the central government must read it every day, even the emperor also subscribed to a copy, every morning as soon as the newspaper was printed, a big eunuch came to fetch a basket of "hardcover" newspapers and brought them into the palace.

In addition to the emperor and the princesses of the palace, the newspapers have become tribute.

With this layer of protection, it is difficult for Wang Hao to do any 'tricks' in front of the emperor.

………

And the factors that make Wu Zhi uneasy are much more serious.

Because, according to the intelligence of the secret group, until the news of the disastrous defeat of the Hebei Forbidden Army spread throughout Bianjing, the Northwest Army still did not show any signs of preparing to transfer troops, and now Wu Zhi is almost certain that Tong Guan does not plan to 'draw' the Northwest Army to quell the 'chaos' this time.

And the consequences of the defeat of the forbidden army this time are far from being as simple as the loss of personnel and materials.

Recently, there was news from the front, after the 'chaos' army fought this great victory, its reputation rose, and countless Khitan refugees poured from the Jin country to join their army, and now the Hejian Mansion in the east of Zhending Mansion has also been garrisoned by the 'chaos' army, and the two prefectures echo each other, and when the Song army quelled the 'chaos' again, there is no longer the advantage of besieging the city to win!

Not only that, this victory made the leader of the 'rebellious' army, Yelu Dagri, recognize the weakness of the Song Dynasty, and also fueled his ambitions, he began to order his troops not to loot the people of Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion, restore the production of the people, and began to face the people to levy troops and collect taxes!

This is no longer a simple robbery of the 'chaotic' army, it is like the rhythm of establishing a political power in the Great Song Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Wu Zhi shuddered for a while, damn, the Northwest Army has not yet gone out to quell the 'chaos', does it really have to wait until the 'chaos' army is established? Once the 'chaotic' army is founded, Hebei will be lost, and Shandong, which is adjacent to Hebei, will also be 'affected' by the flames of war, and maybe even Shandong will not be protected!

The imperial court can't count on it, and now, Wu Zhi has to take urgent measures!

————

Half a month has passed since the defeat, and the forces of the 'chaotic' army have really grown a lot, and now they are gathering troops in Zhending Mansion - they are going to take the initiative to attack!

The target is the Taiyuan Mansion where Wu Song is located, Taiyuan, Zhending, and Hejian are the three major towns in Hebei, and they are each other's horns.

At the beginning of the defeat, Wu Song did not return to the Daimyo's Mansion, but chose to go to Taiyuan Mansion, which is the defense, but now Taiyuan Mansion plus Wu Song's troops, there are only more than 10,000 people, and if the imperial court does not gather troops to support, Taiyuan Mansion will be captured sooner or later.

According to the news that Wu Zhi got the day before yesterday, the imperial court is still chattering about the war, and there is no result for a while.

Although the Liao side also hates the 'chaotic' army, they can't count on them, and now they are being beaten by the Jin people, and they can't protect themselves!

…………

In the study room of Qingzhou Wu Mansion, Wu Zhi was sitting behind the desk, and 'Hua' Rong, Zhu Wu, Yang Zhi and Wu Yong were sitting on both sides.

Each of them has a very solemn face, and their eyes are 'gloomy', but they are 'revealed' with determination!

Since the imperial court does not give strength, Wu Zhi can only rely on his own forces to fight the 'chaotic' army, everyone has finished discussing, and tonight the 'Hua' Rong will take the lead, organize all the troops of the Qingzhou battalion, and secretly go to Taiyuan Mansion overnight to meet with Wu Song and others.

Only a few weak soldiers were left to garrison the camp to cover people's eyes and ears.

Since Wu Song's rectification and increase of troops, the Qingzhou battalion has the largest number of troops in the eastern Zhulu Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty, and its combat effectiveness is also the strongest.

The total number of people who were secretly transferred to support Wu Song this time was about 8,000, and with the nearly 4,000 people on Wu Song's side, the size of the Qingzhou Army had reached 12,000.

'Privately' mobilizing 12,000 troops, but it is a big crime, once the matter is 'revealed', not only Wu Zhi's net worth's 'life' is not guaranteed, but 'Hua' Rong, Zhu, Wu, Yang Zhiwu, and these people involved are also unforgivable, and even Wu Song will be involved.

But now I can't control so much, and the skin will not have 'hair'!

For the Qingzhou army, Wu Zhi specially instructed that after this army arrived in Hebei, it would act independently, and no matter what generals the imperial court sent later, it should not be mixed into their military operations!

Completely rely on the strength of the Qingzhou Army to fight the 'chaotic' army!

This is also a last resort, the combat effectiveness of the Song army is not good, and the commander is so wasteful, cooperating with them can only be dragged down by them. If it is done alone, the 12,000 Qingzhou army may not be afraid of the tens of thousands of 'chaotic' troops!

After Ye Liangchen's lesson, even Zhiduoxing Wu Yong and Shenji Military Master Zhu Wu were deeply impressed by Wu Zhi's high-risk move.

…………

After Wu Zhi and the others finished discussing, they were about to go back to prepare for the meeting, when the 'door' of the study was suddenly pushed open, and Shi Qian broke in with a nervous face.

"What's the matter?"

Wu Zhi frowned, he was already in a depressed mood.

"Great official, Bianjing urgent!"

Shi Qian raised the letter scroll in his hand in fear.

Wu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and there were no outsiders in the study at the moment, so he ordered: "Say!" ”

"The imperial court's military affairs report: Today's court discussed the war in Hebei, Wu Song has quite a lot of military achievements, and he is not 'chaotic' in danger, and he is the mainstay of the army. Specially appointed Lieutenant Zhaowu, he was appointed as the commander of the East East Road of Beijing, and concurrently served as the commander of the East Hebei Road, West Hebei Road, and Hedong Road, in charge of the soldiers and horses of the four roads, and the battalions of the state capitals were recruited and transferred. ”

In the end, Shi Qian's voice was already trembling slightly, and he continued: "In addition, the imperial court has also allocated 20,000 soldiers and horses from the Tianwu Battalion of the Forbidden Army to Hebei for the second master to drive!" ”

After Shi Qian finished speaking, Wu Zhi and the others were already speechless in surprise, they were just about to fight hard in the cauldron, and such good news came, happiness came too suddenly, Wu Zhi and they were at a loss.

"Is the information reliable?" Wu Zhi took a deep breath and asked.

"Reliable, the five flying pigeons in Bianjing are all this news! Moreover, the appointment of the imperial court has been sent to the second master of Taiyuan Mansion for hundreds of miles! It will be delivered in the evening! ”

Listening to Shi Qian's words of affirmation, Wu Zhi's 'flower' Rong Zhu Wu Wu couldn't suppress them anymore, and 'revealed' the 'color' of surprise.

What a surprise!

Wu Song's promotion this time not only became the commander of the 'chaos', but also became the commander of the five routes of soldiers and horses, including Jingdong East Road, where Qingzhou is located, and the soldiers and horses of Hebei and Shandong in the Great Song Dynasty were all called by Wu Song! This military power is not small, enough to be called a prince.

In fact, if you think about it, these five roads were originally the commanders, but now they have all become prisoners of the 'chaotic' army, and now they are naturally cheaper than Wu Song.

"Haha! Now we can transfer troops to Taiyuan Mansion openly! ”

The always serious 'Hana' Rong couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha!"

And after Wu Zhi's surprise, he calmed down first, the imperial court valued Wu Song so much, it would definitely not be for no reason.

"When I was old, this time the imperial court was willing to reuse Wu Song, was it recommended by Brother Murong?" Wu Zhi asked.

At present, Wu Zhi's relationship with the top power level in Bianjing is only Murong Yanda, as for Ling'er Li Shishi, not to mention whether they can influence the government at this level, even if they can influence, they don't know the situation of the Qingzhou Army at all, and it is definitely not them.

After thinking about it, only Murong Yanda could do it.

"Yes!" "Lord Murong strongly recommended the second master to be the boss of the 'chaos' when he was in the court!" ”

Hearing this, Wu Zhi was relieved, he didn't expect that Brother Murong was so good, he had just arrived in Bianjing, and he had such a great influence.

The high-level government of the Song Dynasty is very democratic, and most things need to be agreed upon by the monarch and ministers, that is, one thing is not only the emperor nods, but the main ministers must also agree.

However, the officials of the two systems are under the control of the prime ministers, so it can be seen that the imperial court generated an order to appoint Wu Song, not only the emperor agreed, but also the prime ministers of the two provinces and the ministers of the ministries should have no objections.

You can see the difficulty here!

"But ......"

As soon as the conversation changed, Wu Zhi became suspicious again.

"But what?"

"However, in the end, the reason why the court's officials and even the ministers unanimously chose the second master is mainly because one person also strongly supports the second master!"

"Who?"

Wu Zhi and the others asked in unison.

"Be a captain of the court, Tong Guan!" 79
