In the two battles, only the Goryeo army fought alone, and the Song army had been standing by and did not participate in the battle, which made Wushu have a delusion, thinking that the Song army was not sincerely aiding Goryeo, and came here to prevent the expansion of the situation, and now that the Datong River has been frozen and can bypass Xijing, at that time to capture the Kaijing and capture the lord of Goryeo, the Song army will choose to retreat, so he stepped up the siege of the city and sent scouts to find the road, while ordering the country to send reinforcements as soon as possible to open the road. But after waiting for more than ten days, Wushu did not wait for reinforcements, but waited for the emperor's holy decree ordering him to quickly withdraw his troops and return to China.

It turned out that after the winter, the forbidden army and the local state army under the Yanjing Zhenfu Division of the Song Army assembled in the direction of Yingzhou for winter military exercises. Although this kind of routine exercise was held every year by the Song army, the Jin army immediately strengthened border control and increased vigilance, because the Song army had a history of launching surprise attacks in the name of military exercises, so it did not dare to be careless.

The Jin army soon discovered that the Song army's military exercise was different from previous years, the assembled troops were multiples of previous years, and a large amount of grain and grass were transported, far exceeding the needs of the military exercise, and its scouts had secretly crossed the temporary border between the two countries several times and penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Jin country to carry out reconnaissance, and the army also carried out practical exercises with the main content of breaking through the border defense line. And an even more disturbing news is that the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Er, left Beijing to worship the ancestral tomb and dispatched a huge army of guards, which is very different from the young Che Jian.

The imperial mausoleum is the burial place of the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, so there is a special mausoleum guard, itself is heavily guarded, after the arrival of the emperor, the entire mausoleum area is blocked by the guards, even an ant crawls through here to accept a strict check, so the spies can not enter at all. There is no way to know what is going on, so they can only monitor the vicinity and bribe peripheral personnel to obtain the movements.

Late one night, the Jin State spies found a team of 1,000 people quietly leaving the mausoleum area and heading north. Although the men were wearing the armor of the Tomb Guards, the experienced spies could tell from the weapons and horses they were equipped with, and recognized the team as the guards of the Great Song Emperor. They followed all the way and found that the team's whereabouts were secretive, day and night, and the local garrison arranged camping and eating everywhere they went, without alarming the local state capital. After entering Pingzhou City, there was no trace. The town guard department yamen sent troops to block all the roads near the palace, and the residents moved out, prohibiting all people from entering and leaving.

There are all kinds of signs that this mysterious team that left the mausoleum area and arrived in Pingzhou must be shouldering an important mission. Or maybe there's a big guy in it. Given the current situation and the signs of anomalies. The spies of the Jin Kingdom determined that it was the Great Song Emperor Zhao Er who secretly came to the front line. He wanted to start a war on the occasion of the Jin army's conquest of Goryeo, and the military exercises that were now taking place were smoke bombs to cover the Song army's invasion.

The information was quickly sent to China, and Emperor Jin was shocked. At this time, all the elites of the Jin State were transferred to Goryeo, and Taishi Wushu asked for more troops, and all the troops of Xindianji were concentrated in Liaoxi to prepare for Goryeo, and the domestic troops were almost exhausted. After consulting with the ministers who remained in the country, Wan Yan ordered most of the new army sent to western Liaoxi to be transferred to the border of eastern Liaodong, and ordered Wushu to return to the army immediately to prepare to resist the invasion of the Song Dynasty......

"Prison Army, the emperor ordered us to return to the army quickly, what do you think?" Wushu received the holy decree urging him to withdraw his army one after another, and he was naturally reluctant in his heart, but it was not a trivial matter to resist the decree, so he asked him to leave and discuss.

"Taishi, my subordinates think that it is best to withdraw the army according to the order!" Sa Li sighed slightly, he had said earlier that he was ready to withdraw the army, but after two victories, Taishi changed his mind, and he had a dream of conquering the whole of Goryeo, which already made him dissatisfied.

"Now the situation is very favorable to our army, once the army is withdrawn, the previous achievements will be lost!" Wushu listened to Sa Li's answer, and said calmly, he originally hoped to get his support, but he didn't expect the old subordinate to sing against him.

"Taishi, Zhao Er's use of troops is unpredictable, although Goryeo's attempt to besiege our army was killed and retreated, but the Song army did not move a single soldier, isn't it too strange, his subordinates think that Zhao Er did it deliberately, in order to contain us in Goryeo and take the opportunity to invade my Dajin!" Sali hurriedly explained.

"Then Zhao Er's deployment of troops to make it look like he wants to attack Liaodong, it may also be to reduce the pressure on the Goryeo side, and implement the plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, if the withdrawal of troops is his treacherous plan!" Wushu snorted coldly and said, "And Zhao Er likes to use strange soldiers with soldiers, so putting on a big attack is not in line with his way of using soldiers, I thought that all the way was a bluff." ”

"Taishi, it is precisely because it is difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction that we have to guard against it!" Sa Li said with a drink, secretly scolding in his heart that if you can really see through Zhao Er's thoughts, you will not even lose the battle and lose the Central Plains, but you only dare to say this in your stomach.

"Those wastes can't even find out Zhao Er's whereabouts, and use some vague words to deceive the emperor, if we hurriedly withdraw our troops and return to China and just make a false alarm, we won't let Zhao Er laugh and lose his big teeth!" Wushu also understood that what he said was true, but he was not sure that his guess was correct, so he could only vent his anger on those spies and scold.

"Taishi, do your subordinates have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" Seeing that Wushu showed signs of annoyance and anger, Sa Li thought about it and said, if you can't persuade each other bluntly, then let's take a detour!

"You and I have been brothers for many years, what can't you say, just come!" Wushu knew that there were not many cronies he could rely on, especially those who could lead troops to fight, and he didn't want to turn his face with Sali and pretend to be affectionate.

"Although the emperor has been in power for many years, he is young and ignorant of political affairs, and he is entrusted to the Taishi. After the Taishi's dedication over the years, he has been assisting him wholeheartedly, eliminating traitors, repairing internal affairs, and increasing his national strength, but some people can't see the Taishi's contribution to my big gold, but they think that the Taishi has bad intentions in controlling the military and politics without authority, and before sending troops, his subordinates had heard that someone advised His Majesty to overturn the case for Wanyan Xiyin and provoke the relationship between you and the emperor! Sali leaned into the Wushu ear and whispered.

"Nonsense, I am loyal to Dajin and His Majesty, and I am dedicated to the country, how can those villains be framed in a few words!" Wushu said angrily when he heard this.

"The subordinates also know that the Taishi will not be like this, those people have said too much, His Majesty is young and will inevitably listen to and believe partially, and now the Taishi is leading the troops outside, if he sees the order and does not return, will he not fall into the hands of those villains. And some people in the court are trying to take advantage of the defeat of the naval army to attack the Taishi, and if they resist the decree and do not return, it will be more likely to provoke the tongue, and the emperor will inevitably be distracted. Although he has missed the opportunity to level Goryeo now, the Taishi is ordered to withdraw his troops, and others can't say anything, so don't ......go back," Sali couldn't help but shake his head and said.

"Traitors and traitors to the country, withdraw troops!" Wushu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said dejectedly. He knew that Emperor Lu Dao had been tossing and turning for the past few years just to take power personally, and he was dissatisfied with his usurpation of military and political power through civil strife, and it was difficult to say that it was not a temptation to order him to withdraw his troops at this time. If he really doesn't return, it will aggravate the emperor's dissatisfaction with himself, coupled with the demagogy of those people, the emperor may really take advantage of the fact that he is not in the country to seize his power, even if he flattens Goryeo, it will be worth the loss, and he has no choice but to withdraw his troops.

"Master Vision!" Sali saw that his plan was effective, and he was happy in his heart, he was always uneasy in his heart since the water army was annihilated, and the ominous premonition lingered, he didn't believe that the Song Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of troops just to run here and make trouble with Goryeo, there must be some attempt, how could he not be happy when he saw that Wushu had finally made up his mind to withdraw his troops!

It was decided to withdraw the troops, and the question of how to go was brought up again, and it was gratifying that on the way back, most of the Goryeo army was wiped out, and the defense line in front was in a state of defense and no soldiers......

…………

Zhao Yong received an urgent report from the Marine Brigade stationed in Baozhou at the mouth of the Yalu River, and more than 30,000 people of the Jin Army took advantage of the opportunity of the freezing of the river to cross the river to besiege Bao and Yuanerzhou, and the offensive was fierce, and the defense of the Third Brigade Ma Yicheng thwarted the two large-scale attacks of the Jin Army. Based on this, he judged that this was a signal that the Jin army was preparing to open a road to meet the withdrawal of the Wushu Division, and immediately sent an early warning to Bochuan to step up combat preparations, intercept the retreating Jin army, and at the same time send scouts to monitor the movements of the Jin army's camp.

The scouts who went out to reconnoiter for several days found that the Jin army camp sent soldiers up the mountain every day to collect wood, dig ice and fish, or go to the surrounding states and counties to loot grain and grass, and often returned after dark, and did not find any signs of the Jin army's withdrawal, but seemed to be preparing winter supplies and planning to spend the New Year here, and the Bochuan direction also reported that no large group of Jin troops passed by. Zhao Yong was confused now, could it be that the emperor's suspicious tactics did not work, and he planned to fight them here if he didn't return.

"Report to the marshal, the Goryeo Marshal's Mansion sent an urgent report, the brigade of Jin troops suddenly appeared under Xichuan City, and there was a fierce battle between the two sides, asking for reinforcements!" Just when Zhao Yong was puzzled, a soldier came in and reported.

"The Jin army has arrived in Xichuan?! How many people are there, and which one is it called? Zhao Yong couldn't believe it, and spread out the map to find it while asking.

"Marshal, it is reported that there are about more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they are fighting the general banner of the former army!" Joining the army report.

"It's really strange, they didn't take the main road of Bochuan, and the path leading to various places also has our scouts, did the remnants fly over!" Zhao Yong touched his beard and said to himself puzzled, this is not the infiltration of a small army, but how can tens of thousands of people escape the eyes of the scouts and suddenly appear more than two hundred miles away?

"Marshal, although we are closely monitoring all roads, will the Jin army pass through the Datong River?" Join the army reminded.

"Huh?! Confused, now the river is frozen, and it is smoother than the road, they went out of the camp in the name of picking wood, fishing, but took advantage of the darkness of the night to hide most of the people in the mountains, and returned to the camp with great fanfare, deceived our scouts, and then went north along the river to Xichuan! As soon as Zhao Yong was reminded, he immediately figured out the key ...... (To be continued......)
