Fenghou

Chapter 372 Retreat
After a day and a night of snowing, the snow finally stopped, but the big golden tent in the distance disappeared. After waiting all morning, there was still no movement.

Wu Jie was puzzled, so he sent two soldiers to investigate, and soon the soldiers came back to report that there were no golden soldiers in Tingguchang and Xiaoguan in front of them.

Wu Jie, who is cautious by nature, was still a little worried. Could this be the strategy of Jin Bing, who pretended to retreat to deceive himself to go north, and then seized Jianmen Pass?

Because Jin Bing did not show signs of morale failure, based on his understanding of Wanyan Wushu, Wanyan Wushu was not such a person who would easily admit defeat.

Wu Jie did not dare to declare victory, but was still waiting cautiously. At this time, Wu Ling came from behind.

"Brother, someone is here to deliver the letter, and it's Chen Qing's subordinate!"

"Chen Qing's men?"

Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, isn't Chen Qing in Baling County?

"Where are the people?"

Wu Ling quickly brought the person up, Wu Jie knew the person, it was Chen Qing's scout commander Hu Yanlei.

"So it's General Huyan, why did you come from Bashu?"

Hu Yanlei stepped forward, cupped his fists and bowed: "The humble job is to enter Bashu from the Three Gorges Road, and I will deliver a letter to Wu Dutong under the order 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 family's Dutong should be in Fengxiang now. He led more than [-] troops from Xiangyang to the north and entered the pass."

Wu Jie was stunned. He suddenly realized something. He quickly opened the letter and read it carefully. Then he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Jin soldiers withdrew. The general's family members are all in Fengxiang!
He lifted up his spirits and handed the letter to his brother Wu Ling. Wu Ling read the letter and said with a smile: "So Wanyan Wushu has to withdraw the troops!"

"Yes!"

Wu Jie sighed: "I said a long time ago that as long as Chen Qing is on the periphery and I guard the pass, the Jin soldiers will never even think about entering Hanzhong!"

Wu Ling thought for a while and then said: "Could it be that Wanyan Wushu will follow his plan and retreat deliberately, luring us to go north?"

Wu Jie said with a smile: "It's possible, but it's okay, as long as we are prepared, we won't be afraid of him pretending to retreat!"

Wu Jie immediately divided his troops into three groups, ordered Tian Sheng to be the vanguard, and led [-] troops to go first. He himself led [-] people as the central army, and then went north, while Wu Ling continued to lead [-] people to guard Jianmen Pass.

Two days later, Wu Jie entered Hanzhong and found that the Jin soldiers had indeed withdrawn to the north. He immediately divided his troops into several routes to reoccupy various passes, including Raofeng Pass and Ziwu Valley, and blocked all the loopholes.

Wanyan Wushu led the army back to Fengxiang, at this time, Chen Qing's army had already retreated westward.

Outside Fengxiang County, Wanyan Mouyan showed his upper body and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"The ineffective defense of the city caused the loss of Mei County and the capture of family members. The crime of humble duty cannot be pardoned. Marshal Du please punish him!"

Wanyan Wushu asked coldly: "Mei County has fallen, can you send someone to rescue?"

"The humble official sent Zhang Zhongfu to lead [-] troops to Mei County for support, but Chen Qing was too cunning and set up an ambush on the way, and the entire [-] army was wiped out, and Zhang Zhongfu was unfortunately killed."

Wanyan and Lisa said anxiously: "Those allied troops are rubbish, how can you send them to attack, why don't you send Jurchen cavalry?"

"Marshal Qi, I really don't know the details of the enemy army, and I don't even know that it is Chen Qing's army. If it is a small Song army, there will be [-] people, and Zhang Zhongfu is also a famous general!"

Wanyan Wushu nodded, "This time you really did dereliction of duty, you should have been severely punished, for the sake of your active rescue, felony can be avoided, you will be demoted to commander-in-chief, and you will be beaten with thirty army sticks, are you convinced? "

"Plead guilty!"

"Come on! Drag it down and hit the Thirty Army Sticks!"

Some soldiers stepped forward to hold Wanyan Mouyan down.

Wanyan Wushu also put on a show, gagging Wanyan Helisa's mouth.

Why didn't Wanyan and Lisa understand, he said coldly: "My family, the families of hundreds of generals are finished like this? Fourth Prince, it's your suggestion to bring the family to Fengxiang!"

At this time, Fan Gong came up and said, "Marshal Ye Lisa, don't worry, the family will definitely come back!"

Although Wanyan and Lisa had always looked down on Fan Gong, but at this time he didn't care about the discrimination, and asked quickly, "Why did the military commander say that?"

Fan Gong took out a letter and handed it to Wanyan Wushu, "This is Chen Qing's autographed letter to the fourth prince, there should be an explanation, I dare not open it without permission!"

Wanyan Wushu received the letter, only to see on the cover that it said, "Great Song Capital Commander, Jing Guogong to Jin Jun Wushu Capital Marshal." '

"Jing Guogong!"

Wanyan Wushu snorted, this must have been exchanged for the bones of Jurchen soldiers!

He immediately opened the letter, read it for a while, his face gradually turned livid, and he put away the letter without saying a word.

Wanyan and Li, who was next to him, became anxious, and quickly asked, "What did you say in the letter?"

"He said that he can let people go, but they have to exchange!"

"In exchange for what?"

Wanyan Wushu's eyes turned dark and cold, and he said coldly for a while: "He wants to exchange the concubines, concubines, and maids who were looted in Fengxiang City one by one."

After finishing speaking, he urged his horse to walk into the city. Wanyan Helisa 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 concubines.

This is a big trouble now, will Wanyan Wushu agree?
Wanyan Drinking Lisa's heart became heavy.

In the big tent, Wanyan Wushu went into a rage and overturned all the paperwork and utensils on the table to the ground, and knocked down all the weapon racks beside him. He didn't curse, but he could see the resentment in his heart.

No man is willing to hand over his woman, and Wanyan Wushu is no exception.

At this moment, Fan Gong came in and helped him gather up the documents on the ground.

"The fourth prince calms down, there is a solution."

"What way?" Wanyan Wushu turned around and glared at Fan Gong.

"There are still many concubines and concubines in the laundry yard of Youzhou Imperial Palace. It seems that there are two emperor concubines. Just go and take them over and replace them. In fact, the humble job has calculated that there are only about [-] people who really need to be redeemed." , Fengxiang City can take out more than [-] people, and the rest can be picked from the laundry yard."

The anger in Wanyan Wushu's eyes gradually dissipated, he pondered for a moment and said: "This method is feasible, but I don't sacrifice a little, and it's hard to explain to the wolf master. I can take out five concubines, Zhao Yuanzhu is impossible, she is My second wife has given birth to a son for me."

"Excuse me, Marshal Du, where did Chen Qing's letter say to exchange?"

"Oasis Castle!" Wanyan Wushu said sullenly,

Fan Gong was stunned, but Chen Qing went back anyway.

Wanyan Wushu sighed, "In the battle of Fuping, Chen Qing led a thousand people to cover Wang Yan's retreat, and he broke out from the cavalry formation. I was wrong at that time, who knew he would grow so fast , In just three years, it has become my confidant's serious trouble."

Fan Gong hesitated for a moment and said, "This time Chen Qing attacked Fengxiang, the Dujian Army actually knew about it, but he didn't inform us!"

Wanyan Wushu's eyes widened, "How do you know?"

"I wrote to ask Li Cheng to send troops to support Fengxiang, but he said that he had sent [-] troops to Shangluo to encircle Chen Qing and enter the pass. Obviously, Chen Qing had come out of Ziwu Valley, but Li Cheng didn't know it, but it didn't matter. The most important thing is, who actually informed Li Cheng to send troops to Shangluo to intercept Chen Qing's army?"

Wanyan Wushu was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, "Tatlan dares to bully me, I'll sue him in front of the Wolf Lord!"

Fan Gong said slowly: "I suggest sending someone to send a letter to Chen Qing first, expressing his willingness to exchange, first stabilize him, and then Marshal Du will return to Beijing to deal with it."

Wanyan Wushu nodded, "Yes! Change him back first, and deal with him later."

Wanyan Wushu immediately picked out five concubines that he didn't like very much from his twenty or so concubines, together with the eighty-two people in the city, a total of eighty-seven people, and ordered the deputy Sima Xiao Dongsheng to be the envoy, and a group of soldiers Escorting more than [-] ox carts to Ganquan Fort.

Wanyan Wushu immediately ordered Wanyan Mouyan to lead [-] troops to guard Fengxiang Mansion, while he and Wanyan Helisa led the other army and their families back to Youzhou.
