Chapter 309: Wanyan Zongyi was defeated and retreated

Wanyan Zongyi was silent for a moment, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He glanced back at the chaotic battlefield, then at the black hole in the city tower, and finally sighed helplessly and nodded.

"Pass the order, the whole army retreats!" Wanyan Zongyi ordered loudly.

As the order was delivered, Wanyan Zongyi's army began to retreat in an orderly manner.

When Wanyan Sosuke on the castle tower saw this scene, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that the victory in this battle was already theirs.

On the way to retreat, Wanyan Zongyi and Wanyan Zongmei walked side by side.

The two were silent for a long time, and finally Wanyan Zongyi broke the silence: "Brother Huang, you are right. We attacked too hastily and were not well prepared. Next time, we will definitely be fully prepared to win Yanjing City in one fell swoop! ”

Wanyan Zongmei nodded, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Yes, Imperial Brother." ”

After repelling Yan Zongyi's fierce attack, Wan Yan Zonghan did not slack off in the slightest, and when the war was interrupted, he immediately summoned the courtiers for an urgent discussion.

In the council hall, the lights were bright, and the courtiers were talking about it, with a little joy and excitement on their faces.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in today's battle, our army won a big victory, but Wanyan Zongyi's strength should not be underestimated." Wanyan Zonghan sat on the dragon chair and said with a solemn expression, "Although he is defeated now, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not come back." I want to hear from you, how do we deal with it? ”

The courtiers exchanged heads and ears, and the voices of discussion came and went. Soon, an old minister stood up and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that we should take advantage of the victory and pursue and not give Wanyan Zongyi any respite. Now that he has returned from a defeat and his morale is low, it is a good time for us to destroy him in one fell swoop! ”

"What the old man said is very true! We should immediately send troops to pursue the remnants of Yan Zongyi's army. Another young and vigorous general chimed in.

Wanyan Zonghan nodded slightly and agreed: "Indeed, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Chuan I ordered that the troops stationed in Anding, Datongfu and other places should gather in Yanjing, and we must completely wipe out Yan Zongyi's forces with the momentum of thunder! ”

The ministers should be in unison, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

However, Wanyan Zonghan did not relax his vigilance because of this, he knew that Wanyan Zongyi was not an idle person, and he must be fully prepared. So, he added: "At the same time, I also ordered all the troops along the way to snipe Wanyan Zongyi's army to prevent it from returning to Shangjing. We want to make him have nowhere to run and completely cut off his back road! ”

After Yan Zongyi retreated all the way, the dust on the edge of the sky flew with the pace of the army.

They did encounter attacks by local armed forces belonging to the Jin Imperial Court along the way, but the strength of the men and horses in these places was not strong, although they brought some trouble to Wanyan Zongyi's army and caused minor casualties, but they did not pose much threat to them.

And the 100,000 elite cavalry of the Jin Imperial Court, which was stationed in Anding, immediately received the order, and immediately 50,000 elite cavalry galloped all the way north like thunder and lightning, and their goal was Yuguan, intending to intercept Yan Zongyi's army there and cut off their return route back to Shangjing.

Wan Yan led these 50,000 elite cavalry, and they surged to the north like a torrent, and they were unstoppable.

However, just passing by Yanjing, an urgent imperial order was passed into the hands of Wan Yan Kang. Wanyan Zonghan strictly ordered Wanyan to return to settle quickly to defend against the approaching Song army.

Wan Yan looked at the imperial order in his hand, and his face was solemn. He looked into the distance, where their original goal was, Yuguan.

He took a deep breath, then turned to the generals beside him and said, "The emperor has an order, we must return to stability and resist the attack of the Song army." ”

The generals looked at each other, and one of the generals frowned: "But, what about Yan Zongyi's army?" If we turn back now, won't it be easy for them to escape? ”

Wan Yan shook his head and said, "The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and the threat of the Song army cannot be ignored. We must first ensure the safety of stability. He paused for a moment and continued: "As for Wanyan Zongyi, I believe that the imperial court has its own arrangements. ”

So, the army turned around and galloped south, leaving behind dust along the way.

At the same time, in the Jin court, an emergency court meeting was underway on how to deal with Wanyan Zongyi and the Song army.

"Wanyan Zongyi's army is retreating towards Yuguan, and we must make a decision as soon as possible." An important minister said anxiously.

"What about Song Jun? Where are they now? Another minister asked.

"According to the spies, the Song army is already on the way, and their goal is likely to be stable." One of the generals replied.

"We must divide our troops into two routes, one way to intercept Yan Zongyi, and the other way to settle down and meet the Song army." Emperor Wanyan Zonghan of the Jin Kingdom said decisively.

"But do we have enough troops?" A Wenchen asked worriedly.

"That's all there is to it." Wanyan Zonghan sighed, "We must act as soon as possible, Wanyan Zongyi can ignore it, but the Song army must pay attention to it, once it is captured and stabilized, the next target is Yanjing." ”

As a result, Wanyan Zonghan divided the only 100,000 garrisons in Yanjing into two parts, one part pursued Wanyan Zongyi to the north, and the other returned to Anding to prepare to meet the Song army.

Outside the Great Song Dynasty Hall, sunlight shines through the hollow window lattice, mottled on the bluestone floor.

In the court, the bead curtain shook gently, the fragrant wind gusted, and Her Royal Highness the princess Zhao Yingluo sat on the soft couch, revealing a trace of heroism between her eyebrows.

When she heard the news that Yan Zongyi led the army to attack Yanjing, she frowned lightly, pondered for a moment, and then said to the courtiers: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the civil strife in the Jin Kingdom? ”

When a military general heard this, he immediately bowed down and reported in a loud voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, after Yan Zongyi enters Yanjing this time, the Jin Imperial Court will inevitably panic." The last general thought that our dynasty should take this opportunity to send troops from Xingzhou, directly take stability, and then besiege Yanjing. In this way, you can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop and revive the heroic style of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly echoed the voice. However, Taishi Zongze had a worried face, he walked slowly to the princess, bowed down and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess, the old minister thinks that this move needs to be thought twice. Wanyan Zongyi's lone army is deep, the rear is unstable, if he rashly attacks Yanjing, I am afraid that he will fall into the Jin State surrounded by heavy troops, once Wanyan Zongyi loses, the Jin State will be able to free up his hands to deal with the Great Song Dynasty, then the two countries will be a protracted war, even if the Great Song Dynasty wins, it will definitely be greatly consumed national strength. ”

Zhu Shengfei, a member of the Privy Council, also made a report: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, what the Taishi said is very true. Although Wanyan Zongyi entered Yanjing, the Jin court must have taken precautions. If I act rashly, I am afraid that I will incur unnecessary losses. ”

When Princess Zhao Yingluo heard this, she nodded slightly, and her lips opened lightly: "The two Aiqing are reasonable. Pass on the order of the main palace, strengthen the border defense, and pay close attention to the movements of the Jin country. At the same time, he sent a fine work to infiltrate the court of the Jin State to find out the truth. ”
