Chapter 278: A False Shot

The weather changes very quickly, after a cold snap, the river has begun to freeze, if you don't evacuate, when the river is frozen, Haizhou sailors have to stay in Xijing for the New Year. Fortunately, they did not wait for a long time, and on the third day after the night attack of the Jin army, news came from Pusan that the Myeongju Navy Division had escorted the material transport fleet to the port of Busan, and was now escorting the Tiger General to the mouth of the Yalu River, and ordered the Haeju Navy Division to rendezvous......

"Marshal, all the naval forces have evacuated Xijing, and the number of troops has been sharply reduced, can we hold Xijing?" Looking at the Haizhou Navy Fleet sailing away, Jin Fushi said with concern that several successive battles were fought with the Navy as the main force, and the troops accounted for as much as half, which can be described as a great loss of strength.

"The river is about to freeze, and the navy has to evacuate, otherwise they will be trapped and die on the Datong River!" Zhao Yong said that now the joint command of Song and Goryeo has been established, and he has become the commander of the coalition forces of the two countries, but he has always had reservations about the Jin battle plan, not because he is too careful, but because Goryeo has surrendered to the Jin State for many years, and there is no shortage of pro-Jin people in the government and the opposition.

"Yes, but the lord of the country hopes that we can repel the Jin army as soon as possible and restore the country, and he has already issued an edict to me several times, and he also asks the commander to retreat from the enemy as soon as possible!" Jin Fushi said that he was dissatisfied with the Song army's only defense and not attack, and was appointed as a deputy position, and was very dissatisfied with a military general. However, due to the relationship between the two countries and the will of the lord of the country, he could only reluctantly accept it for the sake of Goryeo, but after all, he felt uncomfortable.

"Huh. The lord and the lord understood the meaning of the lord and the lord very well, but when the aid was sent, things were hasty. The amount of grain and grass carried was limited, and it was not enough to support a big war. Now that the convoy has arrived at the port of Busan, please organize the transportation of the convoy to Xijing as soon as possible, so that we can make a decision again! Zhao Yong said with a smile, but he was also very angry in his heart, in the past, he never had to worry about this kind of eating, drinking, and Lazar, and the affairs of the outer ditch and the inner link, the emperor had already arranged it properly, and his own officials were responsible, so he just had to find a way to fight a good battle. But now he needs to come forward to coordinate.

"What the marshal is very worried about is that the old man has ordered the state capital along the way to recruit the husband and send troops to escort him, and he is already on the way!" Jin Fushi said, saying yes in his mouth, but he was uncomfortable in his heart, this excuse made him unable to speed up the war anymore.

"It's best, but your army still needs to speed up the march and get to Xijing as soon as possible, this commander thinks that the withdrawal of the Wushu Navy will definitely launch an attack when our troops are weak. We need to prepare as soon as possible, and we still need to rely on adults! Zhao Yong said that he didn't want Goryeo to be just a bystander and watch him fight the Jurchens to the death, but to be like the Khitans in another Xijing. Let them also have the blood of the Jurchens on their hands, and break off the idea of making peace with the Jin State, and they can only follow the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

"The marshal already has a strategy to break the enemy?" Jin Fushi and Zhao Yong went down to the city together to return to the government. asked.

"The situation is not optimistic now, and the vultures are not in vain. He was also in charge of the military and political power, and at this time he attacked Goryeo and mobilized 100,000 elite soldiers. There are nearly 1,000 large and small warships of the navy, and the number of troops is no less than 70,000, which can be said to be inevitable. And I came from far away in the Great Song Dynasty, and it was difficult to mobilize more troops to come for a while, and the supply of baggage and heavy supplies was all by sea, and it coincided with the arrival of a cold winter, when the seaport was frozen, we would not be able to obtain domestic support, and our naval army had to retreat. Zhao Yong knew that Jin Fushi was exploring his hole cards, if he didn't say anything, it would cause his suspicion and not be conducive to future cooperation, so he simply shouted bitterness to him first, so as not to make him think that victory came too easily.

"Well, the Jin army is menacing, and it is difficult for me to resist Gaoli, so I have to invite the marshal to come!" Goryeo was beaten into this cowardice, how did he not know that the Jin army of Lu Dao was powerful, so he could only echo Dao.

"Although the Jin army sent troops to Goryeo, it was backed by the country, and the supply was convenient, and the army could be reinforced. Our army is on an expedition away from the country, so we must choose the right time to hit the country, drive the Jin army back to the country, restore the border, and hold it according to the danger, otherwise it will become a protracted war, and the consumption cannot be replenished, and the Jin army only needs to increase the siege and drag us to death in this winter! Zhao Yong helped Jin Fushi to go down to the city, and then analyzed.

"The marshal is really a master of the art of war, a few words will make the old man suddenly, please give me any orders!" Zhao Yong just helped Jin Fushi out of inertia, but the old man's self-esteem was greatly satisfied, and the angel took the initiative to help him go down to the city in front of everyone's eyes, what a big face, even if the lord of the country saw him, he had to greet him in person, and his attitude changed greatly!

"Although our army is heroic, it still depends on the support of your army here, and your army is not unable to fight, the most important thing at the moment is low morale!" Since the old man spoke, Zhao Yong was not polite, and directly pointed out the low combat strength of the Goryeo army.

"How do you think the boss can revive morale?" Jin Fushi knew that what Zhao Yong said was true, after the border pass was lost, the whole army retreated, and the morale was fearless and the enemy was like a tiger.

"At this time, it is already the time for the survival of the country, first of all, the lord of the country should face it together with the army and the people, and there should be no luck to escape; Second, I heard that the court and Kim were discussing peace, and some people said that they would expel our army and show goodwill to Kim, and the monarchs and ministers were uncertain, and how the soldiers were willing to use their lives; In addition, I can't see the whole city together, some people are elbowing, and I am worried that when the big war is together, some people will do unfavorable things. The time, the place, the people, we have all three, we have been defeated before the battle, so these still need to be mediated by adults! Zhao Yong tactfully expressed his worries.

"Yes......" Jin Fushi nodded, silent, he knew that what Zhao Yong said was good, and if these things were not resolved, he could not rush to war......

The Jin army returned from two sorties, although the loss was not large, but the morale was greatly affected, so that the camp withdrew from the rumors, so that the Wushu also had to reconsider the current situation, and now the Song Dynasty naval army has become an insurmountable obstacle for them, not to mention trapping the Song naval army, can drive them away and chant Amitabha. If it really can't be done, it can only withdraw the army.

"Taishi, the Southern Korean naval army has withdrawn!" Just as the vulture was thinking hard about breaking the enemy, he broke into the tent with a drink.

"What?! The naval forces of the South Korea were withdrawn? Wushu suddenly stood up and said in disbelief.

"Taishi, it is indeed withdrawn, since the early morning, all the Song Dynasty naval forces have been evacuated, not even those in the city have been left, even those who robbed the water village have withdrawn with the boat!" Sali said with great certainty.

"For what, why do you think they will suddenly withdraw?" Wushu glared at Sali and asked in a deep voice.

"It's because the weather is getting cold, they must be worried that the river will freeze and be blocked in Xijing City!"

"Is that because Song Jun and Goryeo fell out?"

"Is it because there is a shortage of food in the city and it is impossible to support so many people, so the Song army can only withdraw......" Sa Liyu said several reasons in a row, but Wushu still looked at him steadily, making him only furry in his heart.

"By the way, it's because the Taishi is strategizing, and the Song Army and the Naval Division fought twice, so they couldn't resist the wind and fled!"

"Well, exactly!" Wushu finally showed a smile on his face and nodded, "Pass on my handsome order, reward the big tart and all the warriors, report to the emperor for their merits, and issue an edict to seal it!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand, go and do it immediately!" Sali drank Shi Lidao, and only wiped the sweat from his forehead when he got out of the handsome tent, he was scared enough just now, but after the end, he finally guessed the mind of the vulture.

The army was blocked from moving forward in Xijing for nearly a month, and was defeated by the Song Dynasty reinforcements, and the face of the marshal could not be hung up. And the Song army happened to withdraw at this time, and he just took advantage of this to Zhang Guan Li Dai to get back some face, who would really think that the Song fleet would suddenly withdraw. At the same time, with the help of this incident, he can also gag other people's mouths, indicating that he has not gained nothing, and publicizing that the Song army has been beaten so that he does not dare to fight again, which also just boosts the declining morale and facilitates the re-fighting, so he does not hesitate to do such a despicable and presumptuous thing......

…………

The battle reports about Goryeo were full of Zhao Ta's bookcases, and he read them all, but there was not a single word of instruction, and for the purpose of issuing any instructions, all of them were placed there as if they had never been moved, which made Jianxi and others very strange.

"Hehe, this false shot is used well, and the timing of the withdrawal of troops is also good, that is, the appetite for vultures is hanging, so that he can't get out of the hook, and it has won time for the Haizhou and Dengzhou naval armies to annihilate the Jinshui army, and stabilized Goryeo!" Zhao Ta finished reading the latest battle report and threw it on the pile again.

"Second master, Brother Yong has written several times to ask you about your views on the war in Goryeo, but you have called back to the Privy Council, and Brother Ren does not dare to make arbitrary decisions, this is difficult for us to do!" Jianxi couldn't stand the emperor's behavior anymore, and couldn't help asking.

"The strategy has been decided, I and Zhao Yong have full authority to deal with the war in Goryeo, how to use the army to mediate with the Privy Council, how to do it is their business, they just think I'm not busy!" Zhao said.

"Second master, but they are only afraid that they will not do well, and they still want to listen to your teachings to be practical!" Seeing that the emperor was lazy again, he said with a smile.

"Alas, in the past, I was the prince, they were the head of a general, and it was my duty to personally command every battle. But now that I am the emperor and I am in charge of a country, it is impossible for me to be in the battle all the time. They are no longer just pawns leading the troops into battle, but generals who command 100,000 troops, if they wait for me to make a decision on everything, and don't say anything about delaying the warplane, wouldn't it be for me, the emperor sitting in the palace, to command blindly, and now I don't care about them, isn't it also very good? Zhao Ta sighed and said, as if he was explaining to Jianxi, and as if he was saying it to himself...... (To be continued......)
