Wanyan Zonghan wanted to delay it forever, and also wanted to delay it for another month by cutting off the food for each meal of the soldiers.

This mentality is just like buying stocks. I see myself going down, but I just don’t sell. Maybe it will go up tomorrow.

This is a gambling mentality.

His bettor is Zhao Ning.

Maybe tomorrow someone will jump down from the wall of Bianjing City in despair.

Maybe the Dog Emperor won’t be able to bear it next month!

Shi Liai said: "Marshal, we don't have much food and grass. If we want to retreat, we must take action now."

Shi Liai even planned the retreat strategy with Wanyan Zonghan.

There are hundreds of thousands of Song troops on the north bank of the Yellow River, and Wanyan Wushu is playing tricks on the north bank again.

Is Wanyan Wushu playing tricks?

That's right, Wanyan Wushu is playing tricks.

In fact, he deliberately did not engage in a large-scale frontal battle with the Song army.

If his kidnappers really wanted to fight the Song army, they wouldn't have been without results for so long.

Up to now, many senior generals within the Jin Army want to withdraw their troops, but they just don't say it out loud.

Wanyan Wushu wanted to use this method to force Wanyan Zonghan to withdraw his troops.

Wanyan Zonghan's withdrawal of troops must have had an impact on Wanyan Zonghan's prestige in the Jin court.

And politics is a zero-sum game.

Not only Wanyan Wushu had this little thought, why didn't Wanyan Zongwang do the same?

He didn't even try to persuade Yan Zonghan, so he spent the whole day drinking and sleeping with women in his marshal's camp, showing off his attitude of "I'll just wait for you to issue the order to withdraw the troops."

Therefore, it is difficult to lead a team!

No matter how powerful a team is, there are still gaps within them that cannot be closed.

From this point of view, Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Zongwang are both from the Zhuhe sect?

No, no, no, Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Zonghan were both strong-willed to destroy the Song Dynasty.

The fourth prince in history was not a good person.

The iron pagoda and the kidnapping horse frightened the Song army.

People in the Song Dynasty called him "Jin Wu Shu".

Since Wanyan Wushu is a tough sect that destroys the Song Dynasty, why is he trying to be careful now?

They say politics is a zero-sum game.

The Great Song Dynasty was also a stock market. If he beat me, I wouldn’t have to beat him. The cake was just that big.

Political struggle is nothing more than two words: interest.

Wanyan Zonghan thought for a moment and said, "How about holding on for one more month and withdrawing in early May?"

Shi Liai glanced at Gao Qingyi aside, obviously hoping that Gao Qingyi would also say something.

Both of them were ministers of the Liao Kingdom. After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Kingdom, they surrendered to the Jin Kingdom and were highly used by Wanyan Zonghan.

Especially Gao Qing, who was born in the Bohai Gao family, was quite famous, and was proficient in Jurchen and Chinese. In the first few years, when the Jin Kingdom quickly conquered the Liao Kingdom, this person played a big role in the process.

Gao Qingyi said: "Marshal, if we delay for another month, I'm worried that the situation in Hebei will change. It's not that we won't be able to go back. I'm afraid we will have to pay a certain price to successfully withdraw, which will be detrimental to the marshal."

The "unfavorable to the marshal" he said refers to the political disadvantage to Wanyan Zonghan in the court.

War is an extension of politics and must be linked to politics.

Wanyan Zonghan was suspected of being superior to his master, and Wanyan Wu Qibian secretly wanted to weaken him.

Moreover, at this time, there was also a dispute over the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, and Wanyan Zonghan supported Wanyan Gao.

Wanyan Gao is the younger brother of Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Wu.

However, Wanyan Wu Qingbuy actually wanted to pass the throne to his son Wanyan Zongpan.

Wanyan Zongpan got close to Wanyanchang's people again, and Wanyanchang got close to Wanyanzongwang again, so the two sides did not deal with each other.

In the final analysis, now is the most appropriate time to withdraw troops, and the losses will naturally be minimal.

Wanyan Zonghan thought for a moment and said: "If you persist for another month, I don't believe that Bianjing will not be able to finish all the food! Besides, even if Bianjing does not open its doors after a month, I am afraid there will be very little food left. Even if we retreat, for a while

Bianjing will not be able to receive sufficient food supplies, and there will be internal chaos!"

"I can't capture Bianjing, and I won't make it easy for Bianjing!"

Shi Liai and Gao Qingyi looked at each other and said nothing. Shi Liai said: "Then the division of troops to advance towards Daming Mansion should continue?"

"Wait until half a month before the troops are withdrawn."

"yes!"

What he said about dividing his troops and advancing towards Daming Prefecture was to raid Zhao Gou in Daming Prefecture and attract Zongze to rescue him, thus allowing the main force of the Jin Army to withdraw all the way north from Huazhou.

Zongze is difficult to deal with. Isn't it enough to beat other Song troops to distract Zongze?

In this strategy, the Jin army had already set the Song army in Daming Prefecture into a group of stupid pigs that were about to collapse at the drop of a hat.

Time flies so fast, one day has passed in the blink of an eye!

Just when Wanyan Zonghan was making his final resistance, a piece of news suddenly came, making him instantly have the urge to flip the table.

What news has come?

An army of King Qin appeared in the south of Tokyo City!

King Qin’s army from the south has arrived!

The army of King Qin of the South, headed by Chen Gui and others, arrived in the Zhuxian Town area and fought several battles with the Jin army there.

This made Wanyan Zonghan remember another name: Chen Gui!

By now, Wanyan Zonghan has memorized three names of the Great Song Dynasty: Zhang Shuye who broke into the border in a bloody battle, Zongze who dominated Huazhou, and Chen Gui of Zhuxian Town.

How come there are so many capable Song generals at this critical moment?

I guess this person is Chen Gui...

Can I fight?

He can really fight!

However, he prefers defense and troop formation. He is a technical expert in the military field. He also loves the art of war. As a civil servant, he has read many military classics.

The first tubular musket in human history was invented by this guy.

Burst gun!

Range 230 meters!

Chen Gui was not as open and calm as Zongze, suppressing the situation in the northern part of the capital like a needle in the sea, but he was able to fight steadily and deal with the Jin army south of Kaifeng Mansion.

This can already satisfy the battlefield well.

This broke Wanyan Zonghan's idea of ​​continuing for another month.

After repeatedly confirming that King Qin's army from the south had arrived, Wanyan Zonghan immediately sent an order to Wanyan Wushu, asking him to quickly move eastward to attack Daming Mansion.

At the same time, Wanyan Yinshu was ordered to start from the right and advance into Daming Mansion.

Then he sent an order to Wanyan Lou's house in Tongguan to wait for the withdrawal of troops.

At this time, Zhao Gou had no idea that he had suddenly become the target of the Jin army.

After Wanyan Wushu received Wanyan Zonghan's order, he guessed that Wanyan Zonghan was going to retreat.

Of course he was willing, and immediately moved from Huazhou and Kaide Prefecture to the Daming Prefecture in the northeast.

On April 9, Zongze received intelligence that a large number of Jin Army cavalry withdrew from this area.

In order to prevent the Jin army from committing fraud, Zongze immediately sent Yue Fei to lead a small group of cavalry as scouts to quickly investigate the enemy's situation.

On April 12, Yue Fei sent someone back to report that the Jin Army's cavalry had arrived at Daming Mansion, three hundred miles away.

At this time, Zhao Gou was still figuring out the current situation in the Grand Marshal's Mansion, and he had already placed Zongze under his command.
