"Kill!"

With the appearance of the Liao army, with the big camp as the center, countless Liao soldiers appeared on war horses and pounced on the Song army.

"Retreat!"

At this moment, Tong Guan had already panicked.

The beautiful fantasy in my heart collapsed in an instant, and was replaced by panic and panic.

After giving the order to retreat, Tong Guan didn't care about the life or death of the army, and ran away first.

Leaving behind an army of 400,000 men, in the enemy's ambush circle, crying out in despair.

"The handsome man has run away, let's run away!"

was already in ambush, and the Song army was already demoralized.

Tong Guan took the lead in running away, and the Song army's military formation was suddenly chaotic.

Countless soldiers fled for their lives one after another, and the front collapsed in an instant.

"Master Wu, you are still smart, and it was decided early in the morning that Tong Guan would lead the army to attack the camp."

On the distant hillside, Yelu Liufeng admired Wu Yong very much.

It was Wu who determined that Tong Guan would steal the camp tonight, and the Liao army could achieve a big victory so easily.

Shaking his head, Wu Yong said lightly: "Tong Guan's eunuch has no ability to lead troops at all, the only thing he can do is to slap the horse, in order to make meritorious contributions, no matter how stupid things are, he will do them." ”

"What you said is really reasonable, let's feint to attack Xiongzhou for a few days, that Tong Guan really thinks we are afraid of him. If it weren't for the fear that he would not be able to completely annihilate the Song army, this king would not have been able to use a scheme against him. ”

Yelu Liufeng looked at the collapsed Song Jun with a disdainful expression.

"These 400,000 troops are the main force of the Song army, and if they are all annihilated, our army will be able to go straight to Yanmen, and as soon as Yanmen is reached, it will be able to reach Bianjing, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty."

Wu Yong interrupted Yelu Liufeng's boasting and pointed out the key points directly.

"Such earth-shattering achievements were jointly made by Wu Junshi and this king. Once the Song Dynasty is destroyed, the two of us will be the eternal siege of the Great Liao, and our name will go down in history. ”

After Wu Yong finished speaking, Yelu Liufeng sighed excitedly.

That night, the main force of the 400,000 Song army could not steal the camp, but fell into the trap of the Liao army.

The Song army was defeated, and the Liao army pursued and killed for hundreds of miles.

The 400,000-strong army was almost wiped out, and Tong Guan only survived.

After the news reached Bianjing, the whole country was shaken.

Emperor Zhao Ji almost fainted.

Wu Tongguan, who knew that he had made a mistake, did not dare to face the saint, so he had to be naked, covered with thorns, and plead guilty to Zhao Ji.

"Tong Guan, you still have the face to come back, why didn't you die in the Liao army camp with 400,000 soldiers!"

After seeing Tong Guan, the culprit, Emperor Zhao Ji was once again aroused, and directly smashed the teacup in his hand to Tong Guan, who was kneeling and begging for mercy.

"The official family, the ministers don't want to, but the Liao army bullied me and no one in the Great Song Dynasty, and even insulted His Majesty as a woman on the spot, and the ministers were angry, so they thought of sneaking up on the enemy camp at night, but where did they think of it, where did they think of ......"

For the teacup thrown by Zhao Ji, Tong Guan didn't dodge at all, and directly met it, and was accurately hit on the forehead, and the blood flowed.

"Hmph, I didn't expect it to be wiped out!"

Zhao Ji looked at Tong Guan hatefully, and said: "Do you know that after this battle, the Liao army has taken advantage of the situation to take Xiongzhou and approach Yanmen, and my Great Song Dynasty has already lost the country." ”

"Weichen deserves death!"

Tong Guan ignored the blood on his forehead, knelt at Zhao Ji's feet, and cried bitterly.

"Alright, you have made such a great mistake, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. Temporarily remove you from the post of privy councillor and demote you to the rank of squire of the military department, can you be convinced? ”

Looking at the blood on Tong Guan's head, and thinking that Tong Guan was not humiliated for himself, Zhao Ji's heart softened for no reason and let him go.

"Thank you for the grace of the official family not to kill, long live the official family, long live the official family!"

For Zhao Ji not to kill himself, and also retained the position of the squire of the military department, Tong Guan was immediately overjoyed and immediately thanked Zhao Ji.

"Get out!"

Since Tong Guan's defeat, Zhao Ji was in an extremely bad mood and scolded directly.

"Yes."

Tong Guan was afraid that Zhao Ji would punish him, so he dared to stay in the palace for a long time, so he quickly retreated.

"What should I do, the 400,000 army has been wiped out, and the Liao army has arrived in Yanmen, is the Great Song really going to die?"

As soon as he thought that he would become the king of the dead country, Zhao Ji looked up to the sky and sighed.

"By the way, I still have Wu Zhi! pacified the Liangshan bandits, who have always used soldiers like gods, and may have the ability to block the Liao army. ”

After thinking about it, at the most critical time, Zhao Ji could only pin his hopes on Wu Zhi.

Without hesitation, he immediately issued a holy decree and ordered the attendants to go and deliver the decree.

"Weichen Wuzhi pays a direct visit to Your Majesty."

The news that Tong Guan's army was defeated and ambushed, and the 400,000 army was wiped out, reached Wu Zhi's ears early in the morning.

As soon as Zhao Ji's holy decree arrived, Wu Zhi just glanced at it casually, then followed the chamberlain into the palace and met Zhao Ji.

"Wu Aiqing, do you know about Tong Guan's defeat?"

Seeing Wu Zhi, Zhao Ji didn't have the slightest hidden thoughts, and directly pointed out the theme.

"The minister has heard of ......"

Listening to Zhao Ji's words, Wu Zhi nodded.

Now that Tong Guan's soldiers and horses have been defeated, it is naturally his turn to make a move.

"As long as the official family is sent, even if it is up the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, Wu Zhi will definitely not frown."

The meaning of Zhao Ji's words, Wu Zhi naturally understood, and immediately took the initiative to speak.

"Well, I really didn't mistake you!"

Seeing that Wu Zhi not only did not retreat at the moment of crisis, but instead had the intention of stepping forward and taking the initiative to take command, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be very happy.

At the same time, I regret it in my heart.

I knew that Tong Guan was so useless, no matter what, I should have let Wu Zhi lead the army to the battle.

"Wu Aiqing listened to Feng, I saw you as a general, you can open a mansion and build a government, form soldiers and horses, and from now on, you should recruit soldiers to meet the Liao army.

"Yes, obey the orders of the official!"

Wu Zhi took the position very happily.

then asked Zhao Ji to resign and left the palace.

Wuzhi himself has the position of a lieutenant and a palace marshal, and now he has been crowned a general, and his power is better than before, and he has the ability to influence the government.

It was precisely because the Liao army captured the entire territory of Xiongzhou that Wuzhi did not stay long, and the recruitment order and recruitment order were launched that night.

In one day and one night, a total of 70,000 soldiers and horses were received.

plus the 30,000 old subordinates of the forbidden army, a total of 100,000 troops.

In addition to the 70,000 recruits recruited, what made Wu Zhi happiest was the recruitment of three generals.

They are Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Liu Guangshi.

In addition, Yue Fei, who took refuge in Wuzhi one step earlier, is the four generals of Zhongxing who resounded in the Southern Song Dynasty.

After there are soldiers and generals, Wuzhi has no intention of staying.

In the eyes of Song Huizong and Zhao Ji, it is no wonder that he swore to go and kill to the north.

After the Liao army wiped out 400,000 Song troops, it attacked the city all the way and harvested the land of Xiongzhou.

As the Liao army moved south again, Wu Zhiqi marched north, and the two met at Yanmen Pass.

The difference is that one is inside the city and one is outside the city.

The two started a long-term confrontation around Yanmen Pass.
