In Youzhou, Yelu Hongji's face was full of joy, and he was asking the ministers: "Yelu Zhao has any news?" ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, there must be good news coming from Yelu Zhao. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiao Lu was happy on his face, and he was busy reporting: "The southerners are really bold, they dare to go deep into the realm of Da Liao to plunder, although they caught Da Liao off guard, but they forgot that in the hinterland of Da Liao, that is, they cast their own nets, and Da Liao can open the net of heaven and earth and clean them up." ”

When these words came to Yelu Hongji's heart, he couldn't help but nod.

A group of ministers were busy offering flattery: "Marshal Yelu led the Zhuozhou army to exterminate these southerners, and it will definitely be successful!" ”

"The Zhuozhou army is the elite of my Great Liao, and it can recruit good fighters, one top ten, and the southerners are opponents."

"The southerners were about to flee when they saw the shadow of the Great Liao warriors, they were as timid as mice, and they did not dare to fight with the Great Liao Zhuozhou Army. If you run slowly, you'll be gone. ”

The news of Yeluzhao's defeat had not yet come, and the ministers still judged according to their previous experience that in their imagination, the Song army was lost, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, foaming at the mouth, and arrogant.

"Haha!" Yelu Hongji was still relieved of Yelu Zhao, and listening to the words of the ministers, his heart was also happy, and he couldn't help laughing: "That's good!" Wait and hear the good news. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and asked the ministers, "You say, if Zhao Ji knew that his new army was completely destroyed, what would he think?" ”

"Zhao Ji's face will definitely turn green!" Xiao Lu was busy talking: "Give it green!" ”

"If Zhao Ji's new army were completely destroyed, his face would not be green, and he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. That's his hard work, if it's gone, can he not vomit blood? ”

"Vomiting blood is a trivial matter, and the opposition parties such as Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gongzhu will definitely jump out and denounce Wang Anshi, and the new law implemented by Zhao Ji will die. Since then, no one in the Southern Dynasties will mention the old and the new, and the Great Liao will never have to worry about it! ”

The more the ministers spoke, the more joyful they became, their voices higher and higher, and their words more and more profound.

"That's right!" Yelu Hongji deeply agreed, and said: "Zhao Ji has the kindness of a woman, he doesn't dare to kill, and he still wants to implement the new law, how can it be so easy. In all dynasties, how can the opposition be in power, and the reform of the old and the new successful? Shang Ying changed the law and opened the way with severe punishment, although it was brutal to later generations of nerds, but in fact, he understood the mystery. If Shang Ying does not practice strict punishment and strict law, how can those ministers who oppose the change of the law be turtles with shrunken heads, they will definitely be like Sima Guang's generation, making noise all day long, winning over the ministers to consolidate themselves, although the name is not above the court, in fact, his words can control the emperor. ”

A pair of eyes full of wonderful stars, his voice turned high, and said: "If Zhao Ji suffers a big defeat this time, Sima Guang and they will definitely jump out, and their opposition will be extremely fierce." When the battle of Xiongzhou was critical, they wanted to fight back, Wang Anshi took the lead, and the good news arrived, and Wang Anshi's fate was good. This made Sima Guang and them hold back the fire, this opportunity, I made it for them, let them make trouble. The more ferocity they make, the better! ”

Although Yelu Hongji's words are a bit exaggerated, they are the truth, if the Song army fails in this captivity, the impact will be very great, and it will change the situation of the dynasty, and Sima Guang will fight back.

"When the time comes, let them go to infighting, and Da Liao will come to add fuel to the fire, which will definitely make Zhao Ji unable to cope, and Da Liao will be able to calmly enter the Central Plains." Han Ju concluded with a smile.

"That's right, that's right!" Yelu Hongji couldn't help but nod.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Zhuozhou...... "A leather room army came in quickly and reported to Yelu Hongji.

"Say! Did Jerozhao win? He annihilated the Song army? Yelu Hongji was very anxious at this moment, interrupting the words of the leather room army, with a look of hope.

He was originally a steady person, but this matter is too much to do, and the compliments of the ministers are also true, if the Liao State annihilates the new army of the Song Dynasty, it will cause a political earthquake in the Song Dynasty, and the new law will die completely.

"Yes, yes, yes, it was Jeluzhao who was defeated." The Leather Room Army cautiously reported.

This matter is too important, and the leather room army is very scared, and he stammers.

As soon as he said yes, the ministers were overjoyed, and their faces were full of red light, and they wanted to compliment him. When they listened to the words of the leather room army, their faces were incredulous, and they didn't believe that this was true at all.

"Nonsense!" Yelu Hongji also did not believe it, and rebuked: "Have you bothered to find out the news? Yelu Zhao can fight well, and the Zhuozhou army is the elite of Daliao, how can it be defeated? ”

The Song army plundered the Liao border, although the Liao army was taken by surprise, and the risk was also very large, that is, the Liao State had the advantage of "home field", and it was completely possible to mobilize a large army and arrange a net of heaven and earth. In addition, Yeluzhao is a good general and can fight well, even if the combat power of the Song army has improved, it is impossible to defeat Yeluzhao.

This was pure fantasy for the Yelu Hongji monarchs, who would rather believe that the sun came out of the west than believe that it was true.

"Your Majesty." Another leather room army hurriedly came in and reported: "The southerners defeated the more than 40,000 Zhuozhou troops of Yelu Marshal with 20,000 men, and all of them were killed except for three or four thousand who fled back. ”

"Twenty thousand against forty thousand?" The ministers exclaimed in surprise, with a look of shock on their faces.

In the hundreds of years of the Song-Liao War, the Song army had low combat strength and could often only rely on the superiority of troops to protect itself. If it encounters 40,000 Liao troops, the Song army will have to mobilize 60,000 or 70,000, or even more, in order to be invincible.

The defeat of 40,000 Liao troops with 20,000 Song troops and the defeat of many with few has never happened in the Song-Liao War for hundreds of years.

"Impossible!" The news was so shocking that Yelu Hongji roared.

When the coins were robbed, the combat power of the Guixin army shocked the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State. However, there were only 2,500 people, and no matter how powerful they were, they would not cause much harm to the Liao State. At the moment, there are 20,000 people, and that is a large army fighting, which is an extremely dangerous signal.

There are 80,000 people in the Song army entering the Liao realm this time, which means that these tens of thousands of people have such combat power, so what's the point? This is a heaven-shaking event, and its shock is more powerful than a landslide and tsunami.

However, the answer to him was a report from the leather room army: "Your Majesty, after the defeat of Marshal Yeluzhao, he rushed back to Zhuozhou." The Song general Zhou Wei chased after him and called for battle under the city. ”

"Damn Southerners!" Yelu Hongji roared continuously, and roared loudly: "Is Yelu Zhao ready to fight?" ”

"Your Majesty, Yeluzhao is guarding the city." This leather room soldier can still speak, and did not answer directly.

"What a coward." Yelu Hongji was still praising him for being able to fight well, and it was only a while before he started scolding.

All the ministers did not dare to come out, only lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, at this time, it was the time when Yelu Hongji was angry, and if anyone spoke, it would be a bad head.

However, there is really someone who touches this mold, and this person is Han Ju. I only heard him say loudly: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger." When you are not angry now, you should seize the opportunity and send a large army to pursue. In any case, the Song army cannot be allowed to return to the Song realm. ”

As long as Song Jun is still in the Liao Realm, there will be a chance, his words reminded Yelu Hongji, took a long breath, calmed his mind, and couldn't help nodding and said: "What Han Aiqing said is that when he is not angry at this time, he should pursue the southerners. Someone came, spread my will, and the Great Liao warriors south of Youzhou immediately dispatched to pursue the Song army. I want to personally lead the leather room army to hunt down and kill the southerners. ”

At the suggestion, Yelu Hongji hurried out, and not long after, he led the leather room army from Youzhou and rushed south.

The leather room army poured out of the nest, and the sound was terrifying, and the smoke and dust were like an angry dragon, rolling towards the south.

xxxxx "Brother Wu, we are really proud this time, and the harvest is so great that it is unexpected." Zhou Wei smiled and shouted at Wu Ji: "Brother Wu, do you know? I called for battle under the city of Zhuozhou, and Yeluzhao was too frightened to fight, and I made his face green with anger. Looking at his green face, I was overjoyed! ”

Recalling the incident in Zhuozhou, Zhou Wei was overjoyed. This kind of thing is rare in the hundreds of years of Song-Liao wars, and he can't be happy if he doesn't rejoice.

"Order, class teacher!" Wu Ji frowned and ordered loudly.

"Brother Wu, we can't withdraw so quickly, we have to fight a few more battles." Zhou Wei hurriedly stopped and shouted: "I haven't had a good time yet." ”

"If you don't withdraw, you won't have a chance." Wu Ji was very calm, and analyzed: "We defeated Yelu Zhao, as soon as the news reaches Yelu Hongjier, he will definitely mobilize a large army, and even he will personally come and fight with us." ”

"Alright, let's fight again. Defeating Yeluhongji, it is best to kill the Pi Room Army, that is a great victory. Zhou Wei was overjoyed.

"It's good to kill the Pi Room Army and defeat Yelu Hongji. However, this is not what we can do right now. Wu Ji couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You know, we have been out of the division for a long time, and some of the soldiers are tired, and it is time for the class to be the teacher." Moreover, if Yelu Hongji comes in person, it will be a rush to the nest, although our combat strength is strong, but we do not yet have the strength to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army. If we let Yeluhongki catch up, we will suffer heavy casualties. There is a saying that if we stay in Qingshan, we are not afraid of running out of firewood, as long as we retreat, the next time we come back, there will be more troops. ”

Although Zhou Wei was unwilling, he also knew that Wu Ji was right: "Okay! Let's withdraw! Unwilling, unwilling! ”

At present, although the Song army fought smoothly, it did not have the strength to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army, and if Yelu Hongji caught up, the losses would be great. Withdrawing in time, avoiding a decisive battle, and preserving strength are the first priority.

In this captivity, the Song army captured a large number of war horses, and after returning, a new army could be formed. The next time he comes to Liaojing, the Song army will not be 80,000, it will be more than 100,000, and at that time, it will be best to fight the Liao army again.

The order was handed down, and the Song army began to retreat according to Wu Ji's deployment.

The people of the land of Yanyun helped the old and the young, and came to see each other off, with tears in their eyes, and they were very reluctant. The Song army was also unwilling, the situation was like this, if he didn't withdraw, he had to withdraw, so he had to say goodbye with tears.
