The accurate archer forced Zhao Huan back. In order to rescue Shu Huhu Lu, he put the bow on his back, picked up the two-handed long knife from the ground, bent down and rushed towards this side quickly.
Because he was wearing light armor, he was very fast, and he was next to Shu Huhu Lu in a blink of an eye.
"Lord Mou Ke, we can no longer take down Zhao Huan."
"Our heavily armored soldiers are almost wiped out by the daredevils, so retreat quickly."
Shu Huhu Lu covered his bleeding armpit with his hands. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had to accept the reality. He had already lost this encounter.
If there are only brave warriors, then even if Shuhuhulu can't win, he will definitely not lose.
After all, the dare warriors are bulky, and he can even use the infantry archers to slowly wear down the dare warriors.
But the problem is that in addition to the brave warriors, there are also a large number of royal soldiers at the scene.
This battle can no longer be fought, and Shuhuhulu can only decisively choose to stop losses.
"withdraw!"
Following the order, Shu Huhu Lu retreated towards the pass under the guard of his subordinates.
As he retreated, Shu Huhu Lu stared at Zhao Huan, his eyes mixed with anger and admiration.
"Zhao Huan, if you don't die, you will be a serious problem for our Kingdom of Jin."
"We have a long way to go!"
Although Zhao Huan won the battle head-on, due to lack of pursuit ability, he could only watch the Jin invaders retreat and was unable to retain them at all.
"My lord, are you okay?"
Wang Ben led the brave warriors back to Zhao Huan. He saw Zhao Huan standing proudly in front of him with Bu Shan in his arms, and there were many Jin Kou light-armored soldiers lying beside him. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, not only has excellent commanding ability, but he is also so brave even when he goes into battle in person. No wonder General Yue admires you so much."
Zhao Huan did not pay attention to Wang Ben in a hurry. He was sure that Jin Kou had gone far and would not come back again, so he breathed a long sigh of relief.
He sat down directly on the ground and while removing his armor, said feebly: "You are so brave, I am almost exhausted."
"This group of Jin Kou is well-trained. Even an ordinary infantry archer is the elite among the elite."
"If we hadn't brought the divine arm crossbow, we might have ended up here."
"Such elite and powerful enemies roaming the territory are indeed a big trouble."
Zhao Huan's worries are by no means groundless. Even if nearly half of the opponent is lost, the remaining 100 people can still pose a huge threat to any military and civilian facilities.
I'm just afraid that if they... fail to kill the king, they will implement the three-guang policy and harm the local people.
Even Wang Ben, who had experienced hundreds of battles, spoke highly of this group of golden bandits.
"The opponent only has 20 heavy armors, but they can hold us back for so long and are difficult to defeat. This shows that they are experienced veterans."
"And during the fight, the other side was yelling curses. I heard several languages."
"In addition to the Jurchens, there should be Khitans and Bohai people."
"Also, I vaguely heard that the opponent's general was called Shu Hu or something."
Shuhu?
Zhao Huan suddenly frowned. No wonder he was so good at fighting. He was originally from the Shuhu tribe.
There were many tribes in the Kingdom of Jin, and one of the tribes that impressed Zhao Huan the most was the Shuhu tribe, because this tribe was full of fierce men.
The Shuhu Gaoqi who defeated the 30,000 Southern Song Army with two thousand troops came from this tribe.
The enemy general regarded Zhao Huan as a serious threat, and Zhao Huan also wanted to get rid of the people of the Shuhu tribe quickly.
Zhao Huan immediately said coldly: "From now on, if you see anyone named Shuhu, kill every one you see!"
Feeling the evil aura suddenly emanating from Zhao Huan, Wang Ben was both in awe and admiration.
Wang Ben was suddenly full of confidence in the future of the Song Dynasty. Today's encounter was enough to prove the importance of Zhao Huan in the hearts of the Jin people.
As long as Zhao Huan still stood on the land of the Song Dynasty, the Jin people would be afraid of him.
Zhao Huan did not know that thousands of miles away in Huining Mansion, Wanyan Sheng, the Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom, had summoned his ministers to "study" Zhao Huan.
Nowadays, the name Zhao Huan is like thunder in the Jin Dynasty court.
All the ministers expressed their opinions one after another.
"Your Majesty! Zhao Huan first destroyed the friendship between the Jin and Song Dynasties, destroying the 920,000 Guansui coins he was about to receive, and severely damaged our military expenditure."
"In Yizhou Prefecture, he killed Gao Tuoshan, which greatly boosted the morale of the Song Dynasty's border troops."
"This man has become a serious problem for us in the Kingdom of Jin. We must do everything possible to get rid of him."
"As long as Zhao Huan dies, the remaining soft bones of the Song Kingdom are not worth mentioning at all. They will kneel down under the iron hoof of our Jin Kingdom and bow their heads."
Wanyan Sheng asked lightly: "Do you mean to focus on Yizhou?"
As soon as this statement came out, the officials immediately rejected it.
"Your Majesty, don't let Zhao Huan affect the entire war deployment."
"The strategic importance of Yizhou is far from comparable to that of Taiyuan."
"Zhao Huan just lured us to attack Yizhou. If we really go, wouldn't we fall into his trap?"
"And it is best to get rid of Zhao Huan before launching troops, otherwise the Song army will definitely fight back under Zhao Huan's call."
"The Song army is very capable of fighting, but what they lack is a qualified commander."
"If Song Taizong hadn't been eager for quick success and instant gain, the two commanders of the East and West Squadrons, Fu Qian and Kong Shou, would have directly defeated the Liao soldiers guarding Youzhou."
"The civil servants of the Song Dynasty claimed to be proficient in the art of war, but they were all embroidered pillows. If they were asked to command the Song army, no matter how well-equipped the equipment was, it would become useless in their hands."
"And now that Zhao Huan suddenly appears, I'm afraid the Song army's combat power will increase by more than a little."
The Jin Dynasty court has already reached a consensus that Zhao Huan is not only a die-hard hawk, but also proficient in command strategies. The battle of Yizhou is the ironclad proof.
When encountering such an opponent, you can only outsmart them and not force them, otherwise you will suffer big losses.
Of course Wanyan Sheng understands this, but it is also the most difficult point.
"If it were anyone else, Song officials would have eliminated this serious problem for us."
"But Zhao Huan is different. Song officials have nothing to do with him."
"He is the most powerful eldest son in the history of the Song Dynasty. Even the emperor of the Song Dynasty had to avoid him."
"If you want to get rid of people like this, external force alone is not enough."
"The right path is to let him be deposed by his own people like Di Qing, the nirvana general during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty."
Wanyan Sheng's mind was very clear. If he attacked the Song Dynasty head-on, he would definitely suffer huge losses. If he could expand the territory at the minimum cost, this was what a qualified emperor should consider.
Zhao Huan is the biggest obstacle in front of Wanyan Sheng. If possible, he is even willing to use the remaining nine states of the Song Dynasty in exchange for Zhao Huan's head.
Jiuzhou is lost and can be regained. The initiative lies in Wanyan Sheng's hands, but it is even more difficult to kill Zhao Huan.
It is difficult to shake Song Yi, but it is difficult to shake Zhao Huan...
The plan to exchange Kyushu for King Ding was carried out in an orderly manner under Wanyan Sheng's control.
