"Ninth brother, did you really let the four of them guard the border pass? Why don't you use veterans in the DPRK, such as: Lao Zong, Zongshuai! ”

Zhao Yougong really doesn't understand why Zhao Gou did this, if it is said that the four of them are Zhao Gou's people, Zhao Gou wants to use power for personal gain and cultivate his own power, Zhao Yougong still believes it a little. However, he felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought.

If it is a veteran of the battlefield such as Seed Master Dao and Zong Ze, Zhao Yougong can still understand. As for Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Yue Fei and others, Zhao Yougong is still a little skeptical. After all, the older the person who fights on the battlefield, the better, and the more experienced, the better.

Sufficient combat experience is more beneficial for the victory of the army. However, Zhao Gou did the opposite, not only did he not appoint veteran generals to command the army, but instead let these people assist, these things made Zhao Yougong really a little puzzled.

Zhao Gou smiled and said, "Second brother, look at how beautiful the sunset is!" ”

"I'll ask you something, why are you still in the mood......" Zhao Yougong didn't fight, but his eyes followed Zhao Gou's fingers, the sunset is indeed very beautiful, but it is just a matter of day and night, which can indicate that the weather will be fine tomorrow.

"The sunset is infinitely good, it's just near dusk!" Zhao Gou said lightly, "There are many old commanders in the army, but they are like this sunset, and they will disappear one day." If only veterans are used and no attention is paid to successors, then tomorrow morning will still be so good? ”

"Some things seem reasonable, but in reality, they are not. Because it is reasonable, it is the most dangerous on the battlefield; It can also be said that the more the enemy does not know about the talent, the safer and the more beneficial it is for us. ”

"After many years of fighting on the battlefield, they should not be allowed to continue to serve the Great Song Dynasty. There must be many scars on their bodies, and these scars are all merits that have been paid for with their lives and their own blood and sweat. If there is no successor, then no matter how strong the future Great Song is, it will not help. ”

"They're like the sunset, you don't know when they're going to disappear. In that case, it is better to look forward to tomorrow morning than to miss the twilight at this time. Because of the future of the Great Song Dynasty, I handed it over to the four of them, and I believe that they will not let me down, with them guarding the border passes, the Jin soldiers will not appear on the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and the four of them will also be famous for a hundred years. ”

"This is just the beginning, as long as the sixteen states of Yanyun are recovered, the situation can be completely changed at that time, so that all the people who covet the Great Song Dynasty can put away their thoughts that they shouldn't have. If anyone doesn't know how to provoke the Great Song Dynasty, then I will let them bear the wrath of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"If you want others not to covet it, then you have to be strong. If you are not strong, it is inevitable that you will be narrowed by others. ”

"Then it's time to reclaim the last three states!" Zhao Yougong understood Zhao Gou's mind and could understand it, so he didn't ask more, but set his sights on the situation in Danzhou and other places.

"There are Wuwei troops in Danzhou, there are naturalized troops in Shunzhou, and Qingping troops in Yanzhou, and these three Liao armies are also the last line of defense in the sixteen states of Yanyun!" Zhao Gou said in a low voice, "The three armies are only tens of thousands of people, and their generals have long been frightened and dare not fight our army head-on, so they retreat in the city and refuse to fight. Now that Jizhou is occupied by our army, they must regret it very much! ”

Zhao Gou's guess was right, and the commanders of their three armies were all remorseful. If it weren't for the fear of the Song army's deception, he would have missed the best opportunity. Now they want to attack the Song army, and they have completely lost their advantage.

Originally, the Song army sent half of its troops to attack Jizhou, which was their best chance to break out of the encirclement. Now that Jizhou has been captured by the Song army, it has cut off their retreat.

They are like turtles in an urn, they can't escape with wings, and there are only two ways in front of them, one is to open the city gate and surrender, and the other is to fight with the Song army.

Half a month later, the generals of the three armies of Danzhou, Shunzhou, and Fuzhou gathered together, and each of them had melancholy, sad faces, frowns, and was silent.

"General Wu, half a month has passed, and the Song army is still standing still, besieging but not attacking, this is trying to trap us to death!"

"Our grain and grass in Danzhou are also about to run out, if there are no more supplies, I am afraid that the Song army does not need to attack, and we will have already been defeated. If there is food and grass, it doesn't matter if it drags on any longer, but the soldiers can't bear it anymore, and the whole army is full of complaints, afraid that if it drags on for a long time, there will be changes in the army. ”

"General Xiao, the same is true for you in Danzhou?" The general of Yanzhou also sighed, "General Wu, let's discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible, after a long time, I'm afraid that the army's morale is unstable, and it will really be over at that time!" ”

Wu Gang, the general of Shunzhou, sighed, "Two generals, the same situation is true in Shunzhou!" In addition, there are some deserters in our army! Alas! ……”

The three of them all sighed, they all admired the ability of the Song army, besieged but did not attack, and let them mess with themselves. If it weren't for the enemy army, they really wanted to talk about a good plan, but they were in it, and there was really suffering.

There were some deserters in all three armies, demoralized, and they themselves were all sad, as if everything was dark and there was no hope of victory.

"General Wu, why don't we descend!"

The words of the Danzhou general were like thunder on the ground, which made the two of them stunned and speechless, they didn't think about it, but no one was willing to pierce this layer of window paper. If they really opened the gates and surrendered, they were a little worried.

However, the Song army's overwhelming offensive has rarely been defeated since the battle in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Moreover, Daliao was already precarious and isolated, which made them worried.

It is precisely because of these things that they have trouble sleeping. Now to fight against the Song army, they can only rely on their existing strength. However, before the two armies could fight, the Song army had already gained the upper hand, and the Liao army had already been defeated.

The confrontation between the two armies is not only a confrontation of strength, but also a duel between generals, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of momentum. These are all greatly beneficial to the Song army, they know that these generals have been lost, and subconsciously think that the Song army is invincible and has no way to retreat.

Now there are only these two paths, either a battle of life and death, or the surrender of Kaesong, and there is no other way to retreat. Because the way to retreat was also cut off by Zhao Gou, there was no way to retreat.

"Is there really no way back?" Wu Gang was disappointed, and said dejectedly: "Let me think about it again!" ”

Everyone nodded, they all needed time to think. After all, it's all about themselves, and if they surrender, they will betray the Great Liao and take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty.

The three agreed to decide on their own answers in three days, and then they went back, leaving Wu Gang alone, he sat motionless in his chair, and his old style came to mind, but now he was lingering.

After a while, Wu Gang sighed deeply, then got up and left the Shuai Mansion and strode out.

At this moment, goose feathers and heavy snow fell in the sky, and Wu Gang was wrapped in thick clothes, walking forward step by step, and the footprints of his footsteps were quickly covered by the snow and disappeared.
