Chapter three hundred and seventy third withdrawal
The snow that had been falling all day and night finally stopped, but the Jinbing tent in the distance disappeared. After waiting all morning, there was still no movement.
Wu Jie was confused and sent two soldiers to investigate. Soon the soldiers came back to report that there were no more golden soldiers in Tingguchang and Xiaoguan in front.
Wu Jie, who was cautious by nature, was still a little worried. Could this be Jin Bing's plan to feign retreat to deceive himself into heading north, and then seize Jianmen Pass?
Because Jin Bing did not show signs of demoralization and defeat, based on his understanding of Wanyan Wushu, Wanyan Wushu was not someone who would give up easily.
Wu Jie did not dare to declare victory and was still waiting cautiously. At this time, Wu Gao came from behind.
"Brother, someone is here to deliver the letter, and it's Chen Qing's men!"
"Chen Qing's men?"
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment. Isn't Chen Qing in Baling County?
"Where are the people?"
Wu Gao quickly brought the man up. Wu Jie knew the man who was coming. He was Chen Qing's scout commander Hu Yanlei.
"It turns out to be General Huyan, why did you come from Bashu?"
Hu Yanlei stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted, and said: "I am here to enter Bashu from the Three Gorges Road, and I am here to deliver a message to Wu Dutong on the orders of my family's Dutong!"
He took out a letter and presented it to Wu Jie. Wu Jie took the letter and asked, "Where is Chen Dutong now?"
"Reporting to Wu Dutong, my Dutong should be in Fengxiang now. He led more than 10,000 troops from Xiangyang to the north and entered Guanzhong."
Wu Jie was stunned. He suddenly realized something. He quickly opened the letter and read it carefully. He suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Jin soldiers withdrew. It turned out that Chen Qing used the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao and directly attacked Wanyan Wushu's lair.
The general’s family members are all in Fengxiang!
He felt refreshed and handed the letter to his brother Wu Gao. After reading the letter, Wu Gao smiled and said, "So Wanyan Wushu has to withdraw his troops!"
"yes!"
Wu Jie sighed: "I have said long ago that as long as Chen Qing is on the periphery and I guard the pass, the Jin soldiers will never even think of entering Hanzhong!"
Wu Gao thought for a while and then asked: "Could Wanyan Wushu have taken advantage of his plan and deliberately retreated to lure us north?"
Wu Jie smiled and said: "It's possible, but it doesn't matter. As long as we are prepared, we won't be afraid of him feinting to retreat!"
Wu Jie immediately divided his troops into three groups and ordered Tongzhi Tian Sheng to be the vanguard and lead an army of 3,000 people. He personally led 8,000 people as the middle army, and then went north, while Wu Kuo continued to lead 5,000 people to guard Jianmen Pass.
Two days later, Wu Jie entered Hanzhong and found that the Jin soldiers had indeed withdrawn north. He immediately divided his troops into several groups and reoccupied various passes, including Raofeng Pass and Ziwu Valley, blocking all loopholes.
Wanyan Wushu led the army back to Fengxiang. At this time, Chen Qing's army had already led his army to withdraw westward.
Outside Fengxiang County, Wanyan Mouyan exposed his upper body and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
"The inability to defend the city due to humble duty resulted in the loss of Xi County and the capture of family members. The crime of humble duty is inexcusable. Please punish the marshal of the capital!"
Wanyan Wushu asked coldly: "Xixian County has fallen, can you send someone to rescue it?"
"The humble official sent Zhang Zhongfu to lead an army of 12,000 people to Yi County for support, but Chen Qing was too cunning and set up an ambush halfway. The entire army of 12,000 people was destroyed, and Zhang Zhongfu was also unfortunately killed in battle."
Wanyan shouted anxiously: "Those Congjun troops are rubbish. How could you send them to attack? Why not send Jurchen cavalry?"
"Marshal Qi, the humble post committee really doesn't know the details of the enemy's army, and they don't even know that it is Chen Qing's army. If it is a small Song army, 12,000 people are a lot, and Zhang Zhongfu is also a famous general!"
Wanyan Wushu nodded, "You did derelict in your duty this time. You should have been severely punished. For the sake of your active rescue, the serious crime will be exempted. I will demote you to the rank of captain of a thousand and give you thirty military sticks. Are you convinced?"
"
"Plea for your humble duty!"
"Come here! Drag him down and beat him with thirty army sticks!"
Some soldiers stepped forward and took Wanyan Mouyan down.
Wanyan's Wushu was just a show, blocking Wanyan's mouth.
Why didn't Wanyan Jiulisha understand? He said coldly: "My family members and the family members of hundreds of generals are ruined like this? Fourth prince, this is your suggestion to bring your family members to Fengxiang!"
At this time, Fan Gong came up and said, "Don't worry, Marshal Heli Sa, your family will definitely come back!"
Although Wanyan Helisa had always looked down on Fan Gong, at this time he did not care about the discrimination and asked quickly: "Why did the military advisor say this?"
Fan Gong took out a letter and handed it to Wanyan Wushu, "This is an autographed letter from Chen Qing to the fourth prince. There should be an explanation. I don't dare to open it without permission!"
Wanyan Wushu took the letter and saw on the envelope it was written, 'The Governor of the Song Dynasty, from Duke Jing to Marshal Wushu of the Jin Army.'
"Dong Guo Jing!"
Wanyan Wushu snorted, this must have been obtained in exchange for the bones of the Jurchen soldiers!
He immediately opened the letter, read it for a moment, his face gradually turned livid, and he put the letter away without saying a word.
Wanyan, who was standing next to him, became anxious and asked quickly: "What did you say in the letter?"
"He said he could be released, but in exchange!"
"In exchange for what?"
Wanyan Wushu's eyes became sinister, and he said coldly after a while: "He wants to exchange the imperial concubines, palace concubines, palace maids, etc. who were taken away from Fengxiang City on a one-for-one basis."
After saying that, he urged his horse to walk towards the city. Wanyan Jiulisha suddenly understood why Wanyan Wushu's expression was so ugly. There was another emperor in Fengxiang City, and that was Wanyan Wushu's concubine Zhao Yuanzhu.
Several concubines are basically palace concubines.
Now the trouble is big. Will Wanyan Wushu agree?
Wanyan drank from Lisa and her heart became heavy.
In the big tent, Wanyan Wushu became furious and overturned all the paperwork on the table to the ground. He also pushed down all the weapon racks next to him. He did not curse, but the resentment in his heart could be seen.
No man is willing to hand over his woman, and Wanyan Wushu is no exception.
At this time, Fan Gong came in and helped him pack up the documents on the ground.
"Fourth Prince, calm down, there is a way to solve it."
"What can I do?" Wanyan Wushu turned around and glared at Fan Gong.
"There are still many concubines and maids in the laundry room of Youzhou Palace, and there seem to be two emperors and concubines. Just go and pick them up and replace them. In fact, I have calculated that there are only about 350 people who really need to be redeemed.
, Fengxiang City can provide more than 80 people, and the rest will be picked from the laundry yard."
The anger in Wanyan Wushu's eyes gradually subsided. He pondered for a moment and said: "This method is feasible, but if I don't sacrifice anything, it will be difficult for the Wolf Lord to explain. I can come up with five palace concubines. Zhao Yuanzhu is impossible. She is
My second wife has already given birth to a son for me."
"May I ask, Marshal Du, where did Chen Qingxin say in his letter to exchange?"
"Ganquan Castle!" Wanyan Wushu said gloomily,
Fan Gong was shocked, Chen Qing went back anyway.
Wanyan Wushu sighed, "In the Battle of Fuping, Chen Qing led a thousand men to cover Wang Yan's retreat, and he actually broke out from the cavalry formation. I was wrong at that time. Who knew he would grow up so quickly?
, it has become a serious problem for me in just three years.”
Fan Gong hesitated and said: "This time Chen Qing attacked Fengxiang secretly. The Imperial Guard Army actually knew about it, but he did not inform us!"
Wanyan Wushu's eyes widened, "How do you know?"
"I wrote a letter asking Li Cheng to send troops to support Fengxiang, but he said that he had sent 30,000 troops to Shangluo to block Chen Qing from entering Guanzhong. Obviously, Chen Qing had come out of Ziwu Valley, but Li Cheng didn't know, but this is not
What’s important, what’s important is, who informed Li Cheng to send troops to Shangluo to intercept Chen Qing’s army?”
Wanyan Wushu was so angry that he punched the table, "How dare you dare to trick me? I will sue him in front of the Wolf Lord!"
Fan Gong said slowly: "I suggest you send someone to send a letter to Chen Qing first, expressing his willingness to exchange, and stabilize him first, and then Marshal Du will return to Beijing to deal with it."
Wanyan Wushu nodded, "Okay! Change the person back first, and deal with him properly later."
Wanyan Wushu immediately selected five concubines that he didn't like very much among his more than twenty concubines, together with the 82 people selected from the city, a total of 87 people, and ordered Deputy Sima Xiao Dongsheng to be the envoy and a group of soldiers.
Guarding more than twenty ox carts heading to Ganquan Fort.
Wanyan Wushu immediately ordered Wanyan Mouyan to lead 10,000 troops to guard Fengxiang Mansion, while he and Wanyan Helisa led other troops and family members back to Youzhou.
