Therefore, the problem in front of the Jin army now is very simple: if he stays in place to prevent the Song army from continuing to build Lingbao, Huang Jie will attack and advance; If you go to Liaoyang Mansion to fight Huang Jie, you can't stop the Song army from continuing to build Lingbao in the direction of Liaoyang Mansion.

And the division of troops is absolutely impossible, because the Song army will not fight any mobile warfare with the Jin army at all, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it.

Since the establishment of the Jin Kingdom, it has been more than ten years, and even if the Wanyan Jurchens who followed Ah Gu to fight at the beginning were a little kid, they are at least a mature young man today, not to mention the elite generals who are now under the account of Wanyan Zongwang, who is known as the second prince of the Jin Kingdom's god of war, so after listening to Guo Yaoshi's explanation, everyone is suddenly enlightened.

To put it bluntly, the so-called three-day covenant, that is, Huang Jie calculated that Zong Wang had to go back to Liaoyang Mansion to fight him in a decisive battle after seeing the situation.

After Huang Jie counted Zong Wang's army to Yaozhou, he would find that the plan to cut off the grain route of the Song army would be an impossible task, and if he did not return to find him for a decisive battle, then he would not be able to stop him from continuing northward, and the losses of the Jin State would only be greater at that time.

You must know that although the Jin army of the pure cavalry unit runs fast, Huang Jie's chariot force is not slow, and Liaoyang Mansion already has a thoroughfare road to Shenzhou, and if the cold land freezes today, the road surface has already been frozen solidly, and the distance between Liaoyang and Shenzhou is only less than one hundred and fifty miles (the straight-line distance is less than sixty kilometers), if Zong Wang is dragged in Yaozhou and does not intercept it, Huang Jie is likely to be able to kill from Liaoyang Mansion to Shenzhou City in one go in two days.

Even, Huang Jie didn't need to spend any time building a siege camp under Shenzhou City, he just put the chariot away from the camp, and then set up a cannon to bombard, I was afraid that it would not take half a day to break the wall of Shenzhou.

Therefore, when Guo Yaoshi solved the dumb riddle he had played with Zong Wang before, the question of whether the whole army should follow Huang Jie's meaning and go north to Liaoyang Mansion to find him became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Although Zong Wang was the marshal of the Jin Army, the Jin Army still adhered to the customs of the Jurchens and never made a single statement on the issue of war, so Zong Wang also let go of the discussion.

Because the poison gas bomb released by Tangchi Fort yesterday was too terrifying, not long after the discussion began, the generals reached a consensus that it was not wise to stay and besiege Lingbao.

Moreover, not to mention that there are no ready-made siege equipment in hand now, even if there is, it is not certain whether it will work or not, what if the Song army releases poison gas mines again? This kind of poisonous gas can't even be solved by urine!

As for returning to Liaoyang to fight Huang Jie, it is obviously a big pit, not to mention that Huang Jie has a car and a cannon, how powerful it is, everyone has seen it in Linqing City, and who dares to guarantee that he will have no gas bombs in his hands? What if you just send your sons and daughters to the city of Liaoyang, and he throws away the poison gas bombs?

The result is that the more we discuss, the more I feel that the pit is big, and it is also a pit to go to Liaoyang, and it is also a pit to stay in Yaozhou. The generals gradually divided into two factions and argued fiercely, one faction thought that it was important to save Shenzhou, and would never let Huang Jie drive straight in, since it was not to block him, and it would not be possible if he was not blocked, so he simply returned to Shenzhou and fought a battle with the Song army to defend the city, could it be that the Song army still had a way to throw poison gas bombs over the three-zhang high city wall of Shenzhou?

The other faction thinks that although it is indeed blocked, it is not possible to block it, so it is simply the old method of fighting with the Liao people back then, dividing the 50,000 army into two armies, leaving one army to attack the Song army in Yaozhou, always calling him unable to build a city, and the other army is cruising between Liaoyang and Shenzhou, Huang Jie does not go out of Liaoyang, as long as he comes out of Liaoyang, he will attack him, and it will always make it difficult for him to make the trip.

However, just when everyone was discussing fiercely, they saw a panting herald soldier suddenly running in outside the tent, kneeling on the ground and reporting: "Report! Marshal, the former army sentinel has just discovered that tens of thousands of Song troops are coming north in the direction of Yundao! ”

Zong Wang's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, so he got up and shouted, "Explore again!" ”

Guo Yaoshi immediately exclaimed: "Yesterday, the Song army on Cloud Island has already sent 20,000 horses to station in front of the bluestone fort, and today it has sent tens of thousands of reinforcements, could it be that they are looking for our army to fight a decisive battle?" ”

Zong Wang didn't say anything, just looked at the map, but also saw that Yundao and Qingshi Fort and Tangchi Fort were connected in a line, and the distance between the three was a full twenty miles, if it weren't for the Song army on Yundao were all foot soldiers, otherwise the distance of forty miles would be half a day's work for the cavalry.

But he didn't know what Zong Wang was thinking, but at this time, he heard someone outside the door report coming urgently: "Report!" Marshal, wolf smoke rose from the stone fort of the Song army one after another, and the Song army stationed in front of the bluestone fort was marching towards Tangchi Fort. ”

As soon as he heard the news, the people in the tent couldn't sit still, and he also saw a general suddenly get up and say to Zong Wang loudly: "Han Lu Bu, allow me to take 3,000 men and horses, come forward and take a good look!" ”

Zong Wang turned his head to look, then nodded and said: "Tie Ulu, please take a thousand light cavalry to test and find out whether the Song army is coming to aid the stone fort, or to find out whether our army is coming for a decisive battle, go back quickly!" ”

When Tie Ulu heard that he was only given a thousand people, although he had some resentment on his face, he still agreed, and when he turned around, he was about to leave the account, when the two generals who looked a little younger who were originally sitting next to Tie Ulu also got up together and said, "Brother, I'll go with you." ”

Tie Ulu was about to agree, but he heard Zong Wang say: "Tong Ulu, I promise you to lead a thousand people, go east and detour to Cloud Island to spy and see how many Song people are still on the island, and how to take precautions!" Yin Ulu, you also take a thousand people, and immediately send them to Liaoyang Mansion, pass my words to Huang Jie, and ask him to wait for me for one more day. ”

The two young generals were stunned when they heard this, but when they saw Tie Ulu and him staring, they could only agree, and they went out of the tent together to order the soldiers and horses.

After the three brothers of iron, bronze, and silver Ulu left, Zong Wang also strode out of the tent, and then said, "Okay! Let's go and see why the Song people are here today! ”

Out of the handsome tent, Zong Wang also led everyone to get on the horse and out of the camp, and looked in the direction of Tangchi Fort and Qingshi Fort, but saw that at this time, the wolf smoke on Tangchi Fort was close to five miles away, but the smoke column was intermittent, which was quite incomprehensible. As for the bluestone fort twenty-five or six miles away, it is naturally impossible to see, but from a distance, you can see that similar wolf smoke has also risen on the horizon of the sky, and the smoke column is also intermittent.

Zong Wang looked at it for a while, and then suddenly smiled inexplicably: "Okay! Good way! ”

All the generals were puzzled, but only Guo Yaoshi stroked his beard and said, "Not bad! What a good idea! In the past, I only knew that wolf smoke was burning, but I didn't know that wolf smoke could be used in this way. ”

Just as the two of them were talking, they also saw the four gates of the golden camp open, and the three cavalry teams roared out, hurrying out in the north, east, and south directions with their respective tasks.
