He turned back in the middle of the night, and Zong Bi arrived early in the morning and finally met halfway.

"Fifth brother?"

Seeing Sosuke riding a horse approaching, Sobi was dumbfounded and almost speechless.

It is recorded in the history of Jin that Zongfu forgives humanity, is good at charity, is honest, and dignified, and people are afraid of him. That is to say, he is a dignified-looking, tall and mighty, and has a calm personality, so he is praised by the people of the time.

At this time, Zongfu in front of Zong Bi's eyes had tattered robes on his body, stained with blood that had turned black and brown, and his face was black, but there were a few wisps of tears that fell straight down undisguised, which was obvious at a glance.

In addition to this embarrassment on the outside, the whole person was extremely decadent, and when he saw Zong Bi stepping forward, Zong Fu only raised his eyelids slightly, and then lowered his head and said nothing.

Zong Bi first felt sad, and then he was furious.

He waved his hand to summon his personal guards, asked for a towel, handed Sosuke to dry his face, and then ordered Sosuke to be brought into the city to rest.

But he stayed on the spot, summoned a few generals who went to battle with Zongfu, and asked with a blue face: "What's the matter with you, you are so embarrassed, how many enemies are there?" Didn't you say that they rode 20,000 people, is it a disguise, read the whole text of the novel, all there. ('N. Literature.'s website lured you into battle, and you were defeated by the horses?) ”

Several Jurchen generals looked at each other, and when they saw Zong Bi's eyes swept over, their eyes were blazing and they looked directly at themselves, but everyone had to bow their heads and remain silent, not daring to reply.

Zong Bi was even more furious, he was not angry when the army was defeated, on the contrary, these generals in front of him, together with the demeanor of his fifth brother Zongfu, were obviously beaten off their confidence, and everyone was depressed, like a lost wild dog, which made him really unbearable.

He shouted angrily, "Are they all dead? What's the stake in a losing battle? Since the beginning of the army, none of you has been experienced in a hundred battles, we have won many battles, but there are also defeats, and losing a battle is like this. Shame is not ashamed! ”

Everyone was still speechless, but the Khitan Wanhu Yelu Yu saw that it was not a problem, so he had to step forward by himself, and said carefully to Zong Bi: "Back to Marshal, the enemy is indeed only 20,000 cavalry. ”

"What?" Zong Bi originally sat cross-legged on the horse, but when he heard it, he couldn't help but jump up.

He twisted the collar of Yelu Yujian's shirt and shouted angrily, "Are you serious? ”

Yelu Yu saw that he was twisted and coughed violently. His face turned red, Zong Bi saw him like this, first let go, and then looked around at the Jurchen generals on the left and right, and saw that everyone was depressed and bowed their heads, silent, he only felt shocked and frightened in his heart, and he was speechless for a while.

After half a ring, Zong Bifang came back to his senses and looked at Yelu Yu and said, "Tell me the details." How this battle was lost. ”

Yelu Yujian was originally a high-ranking general of the Liao State. He once commanded more than 100,000 troops, and his power was for a while, but at this time he was reprimanded by Zong Biru as a slave. I was quite unhappy in my heart, but I had to bow my head in the low eaves, so I had to cheer up and replied: "More than 20,000 people of our army first trapped the enemy's sentinel and probed the forward the night before yesterday, trapped the enemy and did not attack, waiting for the enemy's help. Early yesterday morning, the enemy's main force and all divisions really came to help, and the two armies began to fight, from morning to dusk......"

Speaking of which. Yelu Yu also began to show shame, in his subconscious, the Song army and the Liao State had not taken advantage of the war for a hundred years, so he also despised the Song army very much in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that 20,000 against 20,000 would fight in a dignified manner, and the elite cavalry of the Jin and Liao countries would be defeated, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.

Seeing that Zong Bi's face was like sinking water, Yelu Yu saw that the pig's liver was also like a swollen face. Finally said: "From morning to dusk, the two armies are bloody battles and do not retreat, but in the evening, our army can not support it first, began to rout, the formation is scattered, although the soldiers are loyal and brave, but the enemy seems to be fine cavalry this time, as soon as the opportunity can be taken, it will be commanded by generals at all levels, although the number of people on both sides is equal, but everywhere there are more fights and less, so that we can no longer support it, and finally defeated." ”

After he finished speaking, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and let out a long sigh.

Zong Bi didn't jump as everyone expected, but his face was contemplative, he stroked his chin and asked, "Is the Song army really the leader of Zhao Huan?" ”

Yelu Yu nodded and responded: "It is indeed Emperor Zhao Huan of the Song Dynasty, with his banner, when the war is tight, we also rushed to his vicinity, many people can see clearly, it is indeed him who is right." ”

Zong Bi sneered and said to himself: "Back then, Zong Wang and they surrounded Tokyo, and Zhao Gou came to camp, his expression was as usual and he was not afraid, and he was very good at shooting arrows, and they all said that this prince was not an ordinary person, and he needed to be careful." Later, this man became an emperor and behaved very ordinarily. It was Zhao Huan, who went to the camp for peace talks that day, his face was flustered, and he did not look like a unified person. ”

What he said was that the Eastern and Western Route Army surrounded Tokyo that year, first let the prince in the city negotiate peace, and then let the Song Emperor personally go out of the camp to negotiate peace.

"But no, I stood beside Zhao Huan back then, staring at him, an ordinary Song person, looking at me with eyes and glaring at him, my feet were weak, but now I am so brave. In my opinion, we lost this battle, most of them were lost in the Song Emperor's personal expedition, and those Song riders were fierce as if they didn't want to die, if they had fled before! ”

Zong Bi shook his head and said, "This is just one of them. They dare to fight like this, but they are also sure that our soldiers are tired, the horses are thin, as long as they resist our attack, after a long time, we will be defeated. However, it is really rare for Zhao Huan to be able to calculate this point accurately, and dare to come up and personally lead the troops with the respect of the emperor. ”

Speaking of this, Zong Bi was anxious, stood up, rode on his horse, and looked at the defeated army that was constantly returning in frustration, only to see that everyone was embarrassed one by one, and he felt very anxious in his heart.

In this battle, the golden soldiers died only more than 2,000 people, although most of the remaining were injured, but it was not the key to the problem, but the golden soldiers in this battle were all beaten across the spirit, from the morning to the twilight continuous impact, the result is that the opponent's position is not chaotic, but their own side can not support it, such a heavy psychological blow, even many senior generals can't stand it, not to mention these ordinary soldiers, in this way, this army that has fallen to the ground, it is difficult to use it in a short time.

As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly ordered that these defeated soldiers did not have to enter the city, but to be stationed in several nearby states and counties to recuperate, and then issued his marshal's order in succession, so that the garrisons in the Song Dynasty's western Beijing and Hebei hurriedly assembled, ready to deal with the Song army's attack, and in a hurry, even the puppet army of the puppet Qi began to order the mobilization of a group to come, but for fear of another defeat in the field, it would be difficult to protect Tokyo, so that when he returned to the Shangjing Conference, the doubts of those brothers and nephews, he and Zongfu must not be able to deal with it.

The Jin soldiers deployed the troops, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses that had just been evacuated slowly gathered and gathered in the direction of the Luoyang battlefield, and at the same time, Zong Bi's emergency documents were also hurriedly sent to Shangjing, Chen said the battle situation, and because of the defeat of Luoyang, he asked for the guilt again, after the defeat of Zongfu, the spirit stepped away, and the slightly injured body was unable to support, although the winter in the Central Plains was also very cold, Zongfu was homesick, only thinking about the white mountains and black waters of his hometown, so he decided to struggle regardless of his body.

Zong Bi was anxious about the movement of the Song army, and because he and Zong Fu were brothers in the end, although the relationship between the two was not very good, and they needed to get by in terms of face, so they had to run to take care of it, and they were busy and impetuous, and they were really happy when they heard that Zong Fu was leaving.

This day is close to the end of the month, soon if it is the Lunar New Year of the Han people, the Jurchens are not used to celebrating the New Year, and the people under their rule have no time to take care of it because of the war.

Seeing that he had already sent more than ten miles away, Zong Fu first talked to Zong Bi without a match, but at this time, he was silent.

After rushing to Lixu Road again, Zong Fufang leaned over and said to Zong Bi: "I'm back in Shangjing, you are careful here." ”

Zong Bi was full of military strategy, and sending Zong Fu was just a false response, the other party was so procrastinating, he was impatient in his heart, and when he saw him speak, he knew that the separation was imminent, so he hurriedly replied: "I can save this, you can rest assured." ”

Seeing that he couldn't speak, Zongfu shook his head and sighed, endured it for a while, and finally said: "Fourth brother, I always feel that the current competition between Song and Jin is not the same as in the past. The other party's arrangement and reaction are all exquisite, we have an invincible hero, but there is always nowhere to start, and the other party can always grasp our weak points and fight back. ”

"Oh? You are a patient, don't think too much about these things, you can give birth to a good body, and when the time comes, you will be able to defeat the enemy in one battle, and Luoyang will be defeated, and you can't do anything. ”

Zong Fu smiled bitterly, knowing that the other party was now alone, and he was full of energy to establish Shuyun and defeat Zhao Huan, because no matter how hard he spoke, it was useless.

It's just that his words are in his mouth, but he doesn't vomit or be unhappy, he cheers up at the moment, and says strongly: "Tongguan is not fighting military, it is the response of the Song people, and Luoyang is also not military. You are here to dispatch troops, in fact, I lay on the bed, thinking in my heart that Luoyang fought with horses against horses, even if they won, they will suffer a lot of losses, and the original plan to take the opportunity to seize Tokyo is bound to give up. But it will not be easy to withdraw the troops, which will inevitably put pressure on us and make us tired. If my expectation is good, the mobilization of soldiers here, Taiyuan will definitely fight in the spring, and at the same time, the Jianghuai area, will also use soldiers, they have many people, we have few people, so if we continue to consume, we will inevitably consume them. ”

Zongfu is worthy of being the best among the Jurchen nobles, and in a few words, he has already said the national policy set by Zhao Huan, although he has not spoken about the core, but it is not far behind.

It's just that Zong Bi is rough and belligerent by nature, where to affirm his admonition to heart, although he is only promising at the moment, he is obviously perfunctory.

Zong Fu sighed silently, so he had to say goodbye to Zong Bi, and he made up his mind in his heart that after returning to Beijing, he would definitely find a way to make a move to Zhao Huan from outside the battlefield.

Zong Bi left, the carriage began to speed up, and when it was bumpy, Zong Fu just thought about the expedition: "Is it wrong to not allow Zong Wang to negotiate peace with the Song people back then, and still let Zhao Ji take power......?"
