Although Zhao Ta was reluctant to surrender at the last moment, he made a good start and set an example for those wavering Jurchens, which was far greater in political significance than in military significance, so he still praised him. Sali drank the title of Marquis of Jinyang, added the title of General of the Left Guard, awarded the rank of lieutenant general, rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold, and 100 hectares of fertile land; Wanyan Nie Er was named the Marquis of Xing'an, and he was crowned the general of the right guard, awarded the rank of major general, rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold, and 50 hectares of fertile land. As for the 30,000 gold troops who surrendered with Sali, Zhao Tan also spared no money and rewarded them lavishly.

On the question of how to deal with the surrender of troops, Zhao Yong thought that they should be disarmed and sent to the interior for resettlement in order to prevent changes. However, Zhao Ta thought that among the 30,000 surrendered troops, only the 6,000 cavalry led by Wanyan Nie Er was composed of Jurchens, and the rest were all Khitan, Xi and Han troops, and most of them would not be loyal to the Jin State, and if they were all sent to the interior, it would cause them to panic. So Zhao Ta organized the surrendered army into an army, gave the army the name 'Guiyi', and still took Sasa Lijiu as the capital commander, Wanyan Nie Er as the deputy capital commander, and distributed food and salary according to the standard of the forbidden army.

Sa Liyu was very surprised by this arrangement, he had participated in the two southward attacks on the Song Dynasty, and it can be said that he had a great enmity with the Great Song Dynasty. And Emperor Zhao Ta of the Song Dynasty also ordered that the Jin army that entered Bianjing should not accept surrender and should be annihilated, so Sa Liyu had deep concerns about the surrender of the Song Dynasty and refused to express his attitude. After reluctantly surrendering, he thought that the army he led was disbanded, or incorporated into other armies, and at most he was given a false title, given some money, and became a rich man like Sairi, never expecting to be made a marquis and lead the army.

What moved Sa Liyu and others even more was that after they decided to surrender, Da Song immediately moved all his family members to a safe area. He was on his way to Xizhou to reunite with them. This shows that the Great Song Dynasty had already controlled their family members and did not use them to threaten him in negotiations with them. This move is far from the legendary Zhao Er's unscrupulous deeds, and he will repay him. On the contrary, it was his own people who conceived it in every possible way and wanted to put him to death.

Emperor Song's tolerance and benevolence made Sa Liyu and others feel that they had finally met the Ming Lord. So he asked the emperor for war and was willing to be the vanguard of the army. Of course, Zhao Ta is willing, with the 'Leading Party' will save a lot of things, just like when Zhang Fei won Chengdu and got Yan Yan, so he gave war horses, armor, wine and meat to reward the three armies. And the sa li drink did not live up to the emperor's grace, along the way even persuaded and frightened, along the way states and counties surrendered, even Tanzhou, Lizhou, Yonghe, Ande, Anchang and other states and counties.

With the help of Sali Drink, the Song army was able to drive straight in, not only successfully approaching the city of Jinzhou, but also opening up the passage with Dading Mansion. Connecting the two theaters of war. The Gao Pet Corps came first, and the battle situation also changed from the west and south roads to each other's horns, and they went hand in hand, fighting together into the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom......

…………

The defense line of the boundary trench was completely breached, and the strategy of defeating the Song army first and then taking Changchun Prefecture was a complete failure, and now he fled into the grassland like a lost dog, wanting to join the reinforcements who were still hovering on the edge of the grassland to prevent the Song army from raiding Huining Mansion. But with the arrival of late spring, the ice in the upper reaches of the Duck River also begins to thaw. The river is full of large and small ice floes rushing down with the flowing water, this situation is impossible to build a bridge, and their ancestors handed down the 'floating horse crossing the river' stunt does not dare to use, as soon as the water is hit by the ice raft to pieces.

Think about a few months ago. He led a large army to defeat the Tatar tribe, crossed the Duck River to pursue him into the Song Realm, and cut off the head of the Wuzhen, but now he can only look at the river and sigh. Shed two heroic tears. However, he knew that this place could not be stayed for long, and after wandering by the river for two days, he turned to the depths of the grassland. He was worried that Song Jun would catch up, and he had no choice but to jump into the river.

After finding a hidden place, there were only more than 20,000 people left in the remnants of the army. Fortunately, they were all cavalry, and the slow-running infantry was either killed or captured. But he doesn't know if he can keep this little capital, he has lost all his baggage along the way, and the grain and grass he brought with him will also be exhausted, and there is no wild thing to hunt on the grassland at this time. Even if there were, tens of thousands of people would have to eat all of them in less than two days. Going farther away and fearing that the scouts of the Song army would find out and expose the camp, a group of people had no choice but to kill horses to satisfy their hunger, although they knew that no horses were equivalent to killing themselves, but they couldn't take care of much.

Tadashi now experienced the Tatars' desperate feelings, and realized how hasty his decision to turn against them for that little pose, and to kill them on impulse. Thinking about how Zhao Er helped the Mughurs in their most difficult moments, but after they grew stronger, they began to ignore them, but Zhao Er did not turn his face against them because of this, but how open-minded and far-sighted he was to help the Mughurs again when they fell to the brink of extinction, what he did was really a thousand miles worse than it.

But at this time, it is useless to regret it, and the servant is loyal to the hope that the cold river can freeze at night, and the warm ice row in the sky during the day is completely melted. In the days of the year, he finally waited for the news that the Duck River had been completely thawed and he could cross the river. He urgently ordered the three armies to immediately move towards the river, and the soldiers who had been trapped for more than ten days were thunderous with joy, these days they couldn't eat or drink, and they were worried about being discovered by the Song army.

Unlike the elated army, he was worried. The remnants of the army that have experienced the loss of the boundary trenches, the fiasco of the battle, and the desperate breakthrough have become frightened birds, and they have no heart to fight. Now there is no avant-garde, no rearguard, and no scouts, all of them are rushing forward in a swarm, if they encounter the enemy, they will have no power to fight back, and it is extremely dangerous to rush to the ferry.

Now that he is also a difficult brother in the same boat, Wanyan Yulie feels that he should let go of the past disputes, or should he remind the handsome. Servant Zhong Yi may have been frustrated because of his succession, but this time he did not refute his suggestion, but accepted it humbly. After reorganizing the people, he ordered Wanyan Yu to lead the men and horses of the headquarters as the forward, arranged the guard, he led the Chinese army to take care of the front and back, and sent reconnaissance cavalry to patrol the left and right.

Things are often good spirits and bad spirits. The scouts sent out soon came to report, they only went five miles to the left flank before encountering the Song scouts, and after getting rid of them, they ventured to probe again, and found that there was a dust storm in the distance, and it was suspected that a large group of men and horses were walking in the same direction behind the flank; Then the scouts who searched southward also rushed back and forth, and the right flank also found a large group of Song troops marching, and they were at most ten miles away; At this time, the rear army also sent people to report that behind them there were several lines of soldiers and horses approaching them, and the nearest was only five miles.

"How far is the river bank ahead?" Susan Zhongyi asked anxiously.

"Dashuai, there are still about thirty miles ahead!" The scout replied.

"Order the advance to speed up to the river, look for shoals for the army to swim over, and at the same time set up formations to protect the ferry, and the whole army will speed up its advance without stopping." He didn't expect the Song army to come so quickly, and it must have been too late to build a pontoon bridge, so he could only hope to cross the river before the Song army......

In fact, when he was always concerned about the changes in the weather, Zhao Li, who was resting, was not idle, and specially sent people to monitor the changes in the river water. After receiving the report that the ice floe was decreasing, he immediately ordered the three armies to enter the grassland. The grassland area is vast, and it is not easy to find the hiding place of the Jin army, especially when the action is dispersed, it is often difficult to lose the other side and annihilate it. But this couldn't help Zhao Li, he remembered the 'wolf pack' tactic used by the emperor when he pursued the Chage army for thousands of miles in the river.

Zhao Li ordered the Dragon Wing Army on the left flank, the Krup Army on the middle road, and the Lion Wing Army on the right flank, separated by five miles of each dragoon brigade, and spread out a search with a width of more than 50 miles to advance eastward. Wherever the enemy is found, the signal is quickly given, and the adjacent armies move closer to this route; The closest army to the enemy either launched an attack or tried to hold back the enemy according to the situation, waiting for the various armies to come and gather and annihilate the enemy. Of course, this tactic also has weaknesses, it is only suitable for pursuing and crushing the enemy, and the communication between the armies is smooth, otherwise the lone army may be severely damaged in the enemy's counterattack.

Zhao Li's regiment moved a day earlier than the Jin army, because there was no radio at that time, and it was impossible to report its position at all times, and it was inevitable that it would be fast and slow. In the early morning, the troops searched eastward according to the plan, and the Jin army was discovered by the rangers sent by the third brigade of the Lion Wing Army, who quickly sent a signal to guide the main force to come, and after further determination, the commander of the three brigades sent a message to the neighboring friendly troops that they had found the enemy's traces, and for a time all the armies wanted to gather here.

After receiving the report, Zhao Li, who was dispatched in the center, ordered the 3rd Brigade of the Lion Wing Army and the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Krüd Army, which were closest to the enemy, to form the Central Route Army, which was commanded by Zheng Ping, the pacification envoy of Dading, to follow and pursue; The 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Lion Wing Army threatened the enemy for the right army and squeezed northward; The three dragoon brigades of the Dragon Wing Army and the three brigades of the Krup Army moved closer to the south for the left army. The Third Route Army formed a U encirclement to drive the enemy to the east, and if the enemy army was found crossing the river, it would immediately attack the first route.

The standard configuration of the Song army's dragoon was one person and two horses, and the march could be speeded up by changing horses. And the Jin army has also been like this for a long time, it is said that they want to run away desperately, and the Song army may not be able to catch up. But the problem is that Zhao Li is bad, and God doesn't want to see him, so Jin Jun starved on the grassland for a long time.

Some of the war horses of the Jin army were filled with military rations, thinking that people could not eat enough, the horses must have long run out of nutrients, and the rest could only be filled with hay, which led to a serious decline in the physical strength of the war horses. But the Song army is different, their logistics and baggage system is perfect, not only can ensure that the soldiers are well fed and well-fed, but the treatment of the war horses is not bad, and they are served with good grass and good fodder all day long. Compared with the two compartments, the Jin Army gradually fell behind in the long race...... (To be continued......)
