Qin Gan is also one of Tong Guan's most trusted confidants. He is the most calm and careful. He may not be a good player in charge, but he can always handle some emergency affairs in the army in an orderly manner. Tong Guan has never seen anything that can make him difficult.

But today, Qin Gan was asked by his head coach and showed a sense of dismay: "Ship Tong, this matter is indeed quite strange. Half a month ago, the last general was ordered to send someone to Yanmen Pass for inquiries, but there was no reply. After that, I sent people a few more times before I got the news the day before yesterday that there was a strong enemy behind my army."

Tong Guan frowned slightly, but did not rush to speak. Sure enough, Qin Gan said again: "Because the matter is of great importance, I took people to see it early yesterday morning. I found that there were traces of fighting a hundred miles away from the rear. More than ten bodies of our soldiers from the Song Dynasty were buried underground. In other words, during this period, our rear was being attacked, and the food channel had been cut off by this unknown military force."

"Has I really guessed it?" Tong Guan's face suddenly became gloomy. He rubbed a jade pendant on the desk with his hand, and his eyes flashed: "What is the food on Yanmen Pass for? It made the enemy appear for no reason and cut off my food route. No one has come to report it yet?"

"It should be...the person who reported the news was also intercepted by them." Qin Gan tried to explain.

"How is this possible?" Tong Guanbuxin shook his head: "How can it be intercepted by hundreds of miles behind? Can't even a person who reports the news be blocked so easily?"

Qin Gan said it hard this time, so he could only remain silent. Tong Guandao did not make much trouble in this matter, but just said, "In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

"The General of the United States thought that it was necessary to find and annihilate the enemy troops as soon as possible. No matter who they were, it was a big problem for us. However, as the war was about to be imminent, once the elite troops were drawn to the rear, I was afraid that the war would be unfavorable. But if only a few people were allowed to return south, I was worried that it would not be enough to find and annihilate the enemy troops. Also, the General of the United States really couldn't figure out where the enemy troops came from?"

"Yes, since this enemy has done such a thing, it must be the Liao army. But now the enemy and our side have become a confrontation, and they will never hide it from us and throw an army of thousands behind us. If they really have such ability, they will only throw tens of thousands of people into our backs and then suddenly attack, and they will be afraid that we will definitely lose."

After expressing their doubts, the generals and the generals fell into silence. Because they really couldn't get an answer to this question even if they wanted to break their heads. This is not that they were expelling themselves, but that's the case.

Sun Tu and Tian Boyuan, who were in Yanmen Pass, did not know the front line, but they knew very well. Not to mention thousands, even hundreds of people, it was impossible to go around Song Jun. They would inevitably be discovered and then they would have a way out. But now, the facts are in front of them, which is so uneasy.

"Unless they did not come from the Liao army camp, but from our side and back..." Speaking of this, Qin Dan shivered violently. If this is true, the subsequent war will be in danger. The forces on the back side and back have never been determined, and the Song army has been fighting for it, but once it is true that they say, the result is not what they are willing to see.

"How is this possible? They were rebelling against Liao and were so capricious, wouldn't they be afraid of being liquidated later?" Tong Guan's brows were locked tighter, and he was uneasy in his heart, and he was stroking the jade pendant faster. But he and Qin Gan couldn't answer this question for a while, and what's even more serious was that he couldn't find more people to discuss this matter.

The situation in the Song army is more complicated than what outsiders see. Anyway, it is just a word. Once the news of the food supply road being cut off from the rear spread, the battle will be defeated before it is fought. And once such a result comes, Tong Guan will definitely bear 80% of the blame. When he returns to Tokyo, he will be idle and scattered, and there will be no power to speak of. This is a result that he will not accept no matter what.

So after pondering for a while, Tong Guan finally said, "If you give you 20,000 elite soldiers, can you clear the rear within ten days and keep the food route safe?"

Qin Gan was also shocked. He knew very well that this was an extremely difficult task. After all, Tong Shuai said just now that there was a few hundred miles in the back. If the other party really wanted to hide it, it would be difficult to find it. Ten days is really too tight.

But he knew better that the military situation was like fire, and the war could begin within half a month, and any omission could make hundreds of thousands of Song soldiers doom. Therefore, this matter could only be successful, and it must be done by himself! With a decision in his heart, Qin Gan crossed his hands and stepped forward: "I will do my best to live up to Tong Shuai's trust."

"It's not that you're going to do your best, you must do it!" Tong Guan looked straight into the other party's eyes and said in a serious tone: "I want you to issue a military order!"

"The last general will obey the order!" Qin Gan responded loudly without hesitation.

"Tomorrow morning, you will lead your troops south, find them, and annihilate them!"

"Here!" With this last crossed hand, Qin Gan accepted this extremely difficult military order with his life as a guarantee.

At this time, there were still people in the Liao army camp, which was far away from the Song army camp, who had not yet rested.

Yelu Dashi, although he had just come from Youzhou, had no sign of fatigue on his face. He was sitting with Yelu Xiongge, listening to the other party explaining in detail the battle between the Song and Liao sides this year.

In fact, although the two sides have fought several times this year, they are all small-scale tests. However, everyone can clearly feel that the real decisive battle is not far away. Only by the daily movement of troops on both sides can we see many clues.

After listening to this narrative, Yelu Dashi couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "Thank you really is the best king."

"Hey, what's hard work or not? This is the duty of my ministers. But the north is the problem of my Great Liao. I heard that the Jin people are becoming more and more arrogant now. They have seized more than ten of our cities, and they even shouted that they would capture me in a few months!" As they spoke, Yelu Xiongge's face became a little ferocious: "If we had known this, we would have completely destroyed the Jurchen clan, otherwise we would not have been as big as today!"

Yelu Dashi smiled bitterly, but did not answer his words. In fact, as the Jin people grew bigger in the past few years, many people in the court have said the same thing, but what's the use? There is no regret medicine in the world. Who made the Liao Dynasty raise tigers and finally let the Jin people rise rapidly from the white mountains and black waters?

All he could do was to take care of the present moment. At the moment, he saw him look solemn: "King, because there is a strong enemy rising in the north, we must win the battle in the south, and there must be a big victory. Only in this way can we inspire the morale of our country in the Great Liao Dynasty and turn back to quell the rebellion of the Jin people. Only in this way can the Song people not dare to offend our dynasty again, and at least not dare to go south for ten years."

"I naturally know that this battle is related to the rise and fall of my Great Liao, but..." Yelu Xiongge looked puzzled. Even if it was him, he did not have much confidence in it.

It’s not that he just felt that the Liao army was no match for the Song army, but that he wanted to win such a big victory at the lowest price. There were hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides spread across the Baigou River. Once the entire line was really confronted, the casualties would naturally be extremely serious. Even the victorious side would probably pay a heavy price.

Yelu Dashi laughed at this moment: "Don't be discouraged, the emperor is here to win this opportunity for us to win."

"Do you have a good idea? Dashi, don't coax me with such words!" Yelu Xiongge was so energetic that he was excited when he heard this, his body straightened a little, staring at the colleague in front of him with burning eyes.

"How dare the officials speak freely in the military? I have two strategies. As long as one of them is done, I will be able to win an absolute victory this time."

"What a clever plan?" Yelu Xiongge asked anxiously. He had never been as anxious as he is today.

Yelu Dashi raised his lips and then he slightly lowered his voice and said the arrangement he had made earlier, but these words made the other party dumbfounded: "You... have you arranged everything long ago? Even there..."

"Haha, otherwise why would the five thousand elite cavalry suddenly disappear for no reason? Fortunately, the king trusted me enough and did not hold me accountable for this."

"Huh... Dashi Linya, you are worthy of being one of the few talented talents in the Great Liao Dynasty today. You had expected that today was a few years ago. In this way, I will be relieved. As long as there is a real change in the rear of the Song army, they will be defeated in this decisive battle!"

"But we should be prepared but we can't relax. Then there are still powerful figures in the Song army." Speaking of this, he thought of the appearance of a young man in his mind. This made him laugh a little. Although Sun Tu was powerful, he heard that he had already deprived some of the powerful officials in the Song court. How could he appear in front of him again? Besides, this person was young after all. After all, he was young and really on the battlefield, how could he become his strong enemy?

What is really worth noting is the veteran general in the Song army and the brothers of the Chong family in the Western army. They are the famous generals who have truly emerged from the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Yelu Xiongge has his own opinion on this concern: "Don't worry, there are many unstable things in the Song army now, and Tong Guan and the brothers of the Zong family are not united. As long as your clever plan is achieved, they will only quickly become a mess and destroy the enemy, which is a difficult task."

"I hope so." Yelu Dashi nodded, but he still had reservations about this. At least before the final result of this battle occurs, he should be careful, especially in the latter move, and there is no gap.
