After the defeat at Zhegao Town, the Jin soldiers quickly retreated in the direction of the Purple Mountain.

In line with the idea of chasing after the poor Kou, Zhang Jun did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but reported the good news to Lin'an as soon as possible, and then went to recover Luzhou, an important town that was no longer guarded by enemy troops.

Emperor Gaozong was overjoyed when he heard the news and issued a commendation.

The reward of the imperial court was still on the way, and Zhang Jun felt that the list of winners should be considered.

Now is the time for him to establish his authority and win over people's hearts, so he naturally has to spend more thought.

Although Wanyan Wushu lost the battle first, he was still in Huaixi, and the war was likely to continue; And the Yue family army has already crossed the Huaishui and approached here, and it is about to participate in the next battle.

This is clearly going down the mountain to pick peaches. Now there are more than 130,000 soldiers waiting to be fed, do you want to give Yue Fei half of the credit for no reason?

Based on this thought, Zhang Jun sent a letter to Yue Fei, telling him to stay where he was, and not to think about getting close to take advantage.

Oh, it turns out that this is the ins and outs of Zhang Jun's official letter

After receiving Zhang Jun's official letter, Yue's army did not approach the battlefield again, as Zhang Jun thought, but stationed in Shuzhou (today's Qianshan, Anhui).

This was an extremely rare high-quality performance in military circles at that time.

In the face of others raising ripe peaches, being able to hold back and not stretch out their hands is something that most of the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, including Wu Jue and Han Shizhong, can't do.

Could it be that Yue Fei was afraid of Zhang Juncheng?

Of course not. Zhang Jun is the commander, and Yue Fei is also the commander; But if he really wants to fight, he Zhang Jun will definitely not be able to withstand a round under Yue Fei.

It's just that Yue Fei is a little disheartened now.

At this time, Yue Fei received a letter from Emperor Gaozong. The theme is only four words: "Ensuring Safety"

We must keep the fruits of our current victory. Don't take risks lightly.

For such an emperor. What else is there to say!

In addition, Yue Fei also had a hunch: although the Huaixi Army won first, it was the result of Wang De, Yang Yizhong and Liu Qi's joint discussion and command; Now that Zhang Jun has arrived at the front line and taken back the command, at his level, no matter how good the cards are, they will only be smashed by him.

Yue Fei believes that the current situation is not yet the final result of the war. He, Zhang Jun, will definitely lose a big battle.

The best is yet to come

Because Tian Shizhong refused to order the attack before, this "Zhegao Victory" still has a trace of regret for Zhang Jun; Taking advantage of the victory, Commander Zhang naturally wanted to win one more battle, a victory commanded by himself.

According to the soldiers' reports, the Jin soldiers are not what they used to be, and they are even weaker than the previous Daqi soldiers. In this case, it is time for me Zhang Jun to make a grand appearance and perform well.

Based on this idea, after the Jin soldiers had retreated for many days, Zhang Jun ordered to pursue the victory.

But something strange happened again. Zhang Jun couldn't find Jin Jun's whereabouts again.

After it took him several days to recover Luzhou and rest the army. Re-commanded the Huaixi Field Army to pursue in the direction of the Purple Mountain, only to find that the Jin Army had disappeared without a trace.

Although Wanyan Wushu was defeated for a while, there were still tens of thousands of people who lost their traces on the land of Huaixi, which made Zhang Jun feel terrified.

Although Zhang Jun's strength was to escape, although he avoided battles many more times than he faced battles, as the oldest soldier in the Southern Song Dynasty, he knew very well that this was the most fatal on the battlefield.

You don't know how the enemies disappear, which means you don't know when they'll suddenly jump out and bite you in turn.

So, Zhang Jun re-used his "Meteor Horse Scout" and desperately collected all kinds of news

Among the many news, Zhang Jun finally confirmed that Jin Bing was near Haozhou.

Haozhou is located directly north of Luzhou, and it is the only way for the Jin soldiers to retreat in the direction of Huaishui. Long before the Battle of Zhegao, Haozhou had been besieged by the Jin soldiers, and at this time it was on the main trunk line of the Jin army's retreat, so the credibility of this information was very high.

In fact, this piece of information was not collected by the "Meteor Horse Scout", but a letter of help from the officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty stationed in Haozhou.

According to the accounts of the defenders of Haozhou, the situation is now urgent, and the Jin army has sent heavy troops to besiege it since the beginning of the war.

In this letter asking for help, Zhang Jun saw that Jin Bing was in a hurry.

Dogs can also jump over the wall in a hurry, so now is not a good time to pursue the golden soldiers; As for slaughtering the city or not, does this have anything to do with him Zhang Jun?

So Zhang Jun ordered to probe again, and the whole army stood still.

A few days later, the news came again, saying that the siege of Haozhou had been lifted, and the Jin army passed by here, joined the besieging troops all the way to the north, had crossed the Huaishui, and entered the Henan boundary.

As if to verify the reliability of the news, several Song soldiers who had fled from the Jin army camp swore that they had seen the Jin army cross the river with their own eyes.

It turned out that Jin Bing was scared, Commander Zhang sneered and ordered to pursue at full speed!

Before the pursuit, Zhang Jun also made two arrangements:

First, inform the Yue family army not to follow, and I will have the final say on the Huaixi battlefield; Second, he ordered Liu Qi to withdraw his troops to the south as soon as possible and return to Taipingzhou, where he was stationed, and the pursuit task was completed by himself, Wang De, and Yang Yizhong.

Hold Yue Fei and kick Liu Qi away, so that he can keep the credit in the palm of his hand.

Zhang Jun's abacus crackled. Since Yue Fei and Liu Qi can win a big victory in the Battle of Zhegao, why should I let them join in this time and share my credit.

Zhang Jun didn't know that in the Battle of Zhegao, although Liu Qi did not have time to join the battle group, there were 20,000 eight-character troops to suppress the formation, and there were many fighting methods that Wanyan Wushu did not dare to use. Otherwise, after Yang Yizhong failed in the first round of sprints, how could he rearrange the formation so easily.

Since Zhang Jun wants to take the credit alone, why did he bring Wang De and Yang Yizhong?

Wang De is the most capable general under Zhang Jun, without Wang De, do you want Zhang Jun to go to the front line by himself? What's more, although Wang De's temper is a little impatient. It's basically obedient.

As for Yang Yizhong. He was a popular man at the emperor's side. Bringing him with him can be regarded as an investment, not to mention that Yang Yizhong's force value is still quite good

In this way, the pursuit of the Huaixi army began.

Zhang Jun, Wang De, and Yang Yizhong, the three bigwigs, happily chased forward, thinking about how to "recover" Haozhou, and the soldiers were in Huaishui and showed off the border.

What a glorious thing it is!

That's not all, the most important thing is that now that the Jin soldiers have retreated. Zhang Jun and the others only need to walk a circle of horses on the border line with bright armor, and they can report to the top that they have driven the enemy outside the country, and after returning to Lin'an Mansion, they will have another chance to be promoted and make a fortune.

What a good deal, what a bargain!

It's just that after only running for a day, the latest battle report suddenly came from the front, saying that the Jin army suddenly appeared in the Haozhou area and began to attack the city again.

This made Zhang Jun immediately break out in a cold sweat and stopped-

There is a situation, chase Liu Qi back. Let him go to war.

Liu Qi, a law-abiding young man, immediately carried out the order and rushed up again.

The four generals joined forces. The Huaixi Army had a neat lineup and fought together towards Haozhou City, and when there were still sixty miles away, there was a battle report from the front, and Haozhou had fallen.

In the face of this bad news, the four generals have their own opinions.

Zhang Jun and Liu Qi found that the Jin army's actions this time were too treacherous and uncertain, and they must be treated with caution; Moreover, Haozhou has fallen, and it makes little sense to rush over.

Wang De abstained, his strength was to charge into battle, and he obviously lacked confidence in strategic planning.

For the cowering of the bigwigs of the Huaixi Army, Yang Yizhong became angry.

What this royal forest army boss means is to take advantage of the fact that the Jin army has just captured Haozhou, based on the undecided opportunity to fight back with all his might, not only to recapture the city, but also to save the people, take the opportunity to expand the victory, and fight a battle more brilliant than the battle of Zhegao!

Looking at the emotional Yang Yizhong, Zhang Jun didn't know what to do for a while.

Logically, it is definitely impossible to win, and Yang Yizhong has a special identity, and Zhang Jun is also worried that he may make a small report at any time.

In this way, under the leadership of Yang Yizhong, Zhang Junxin reluctantly followed, preparing to start a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers and recapture Haozhou City

Yang Yizhong led the Imperial Forest Army to take the lead in attacking Haozhou from the east gate.

No, it is correct to say to enter, not to attack, because there is no one to defend at the west gate.

Yang Yizhong was overjoyed.

You see, the Jin soldiers didn't even have time to arrange, and they weren't caught off guard.

The joy in Yang Yi's center didn't last long before he fell silent because he noticed that something was wrong.

In a Haozhou city in Nuoda, no one can be found, whether it is Jin Bing or local residents of various ethnic groups; Not even a single dog could be found.

According to the records in the "History of the Song Dynasty", the current Haozhou is "unheard".

"Empty City Plan", there is an ambush in it!

Yang Yizhong came to his senses, and when he was about to withdraw his troops, there were ambushes all around, and the Jin Guo heavy armored cavalry rushed in from the north gate.

Yang Yizhong was shocked, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to retreat in the direction of the south gate.

Why retreat to the South Gate?

Yang Yizhong's idea was that since he entered the city from the east gate, Zhang Jun and the others were bound to wait at the east gate, and if they retreated to the original road, they would inevitably collide with them, so going to the south gate was the right way.

Yang Yizhong didn't expect that his idea just collided with Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun's army came to the south gate like a ghost and met the royal forest army.

"There is no discipline in Nanben"

Even the basic formation could not be maintained, and as a result, the Song army was defeated for a while, retreated ten miles, and confronted the Jin soldiers.

At this time, Zhang Jun didn't want to retreat, but he didn't dare to retreat.

A large corps of more than 100,000 people, whether it is advancing or retreating, is a big thing; If you retreat rashly, once you are chased and attacked from behind by the Jin soldiers, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Although Wanyan Wushu used the "empty city strategy" to fight a beautiful ambush battle, he got back a little face. However, a very serious situation suddenly arose in his rear, which forced him to divide his forces to deal with it...... (To be continued......)
