The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 247 The dragon enters the sea
The reason why Wanyan Zongbi announced the news to everyone at this time was naturally because he was worried that everyone would be worried and the morale of the army would be unstable.

Now that the army has begun to march, the arrow is on the string and has to be launched. Even if everyone has any psychological fluctuations, they can only continue to move forward at this time.

"But General, if we go south, is there any chance of survival?" A soldier asked in a low voice.

"To the southwest is a dense virgin forest. As long as we enter this virgin forest, even if the Song army wants to find us, it will be impossible. At that time, we can reach the coast of the Yellow River in the south, and we can go north by boat. , to return to Shangjing, you can also continue to the east, pass through this virgin forest and then go north, so you can skip the encirclement of the Song army." Wanyan Zongbi explained to the soldiers.

After Wanyan Zongbi finished speaking, discussions began to ensue.

"General, we trust you, we will go wherever you lead us!" At this time, a soldier said.

After the first soldier finished speaking, many soldiers soon began to respond, and gradually everyone said they believed in Wanyan Zongbi.

After all, this army is Wanyan Zongbi's direct line, and they still trust Wanyan Zongbi very much. Now that they have figured out Wanyan Zongbi's intentions, they all choose to believe unconditionally.

Wanyan Zongbi's army began to march towards the primeval forest in the southeast.

On the other side, after dawn, Song Jun had a full meal and began to pack his bags, the army was ready to set off.

"Is there anything unusual in the Jinjun camp?" Liu Qi asked.

"Reporting to the general, everything is still as usual at the Jinjun camp." The spies replied.

"Everything is as usual?" Liu Qi frowned and said, "It's not reasonable. Isn't the Jin army planning to continue fleeing north? Yesterday they ran desperately for so long, but today they suddenly stopped? This is too abnormal gone."

"If you want to talk about the abnormal place, it should be that the camp of the Jin Army is too quiet." The spy thought about it and said to Liu Qi.

"Ah!" Liu Qi patted his thigh and exclaimed, "No, Jin Jun is about to run away!"

"Ah!" The spies became anxious when they heard this. This time the army is chasing Wanyan Zongbi's army, which is a very good opportunity to make great contributions. It's their dereliction of duty as spies.

"Go and investigate again. You can go deeper. This time, you must investigate clearly the movements of the Jin army." Liu Qi ordered.

The Song Army's spies were also in a hurry, and hurriedly went to the Jin Kingdom's camp to check. The distance of thirty miles was not very far, and they arrived quickly on horseback. At the beginning, the two Song Army scouts did not dare to go deep. It was too close, and I watched it for a long time from five miles away.

"It seems that there is no one in the camp?" one of the spies said.

The other spy nodded and said, "That's true. If there were people, it would be impossible for the Golden Army camp to look like this."

"Look further ahead!" The first spy suggested.

So the two continued to push forward, and soon they were three miles outside the Jinjun camp. At this time, they could clearly see every plant and tree in the Jinjun camp without binoculars.

"Hurry up and report to the general, the Jin army has withdrawn!" Another spy had already confirmed that the camp of the Jin army was empty at this time, so he hurriedly said to another spy.

So the two spies rode their horses and ran wildly, and soon returned to the camp of the Song Army. At this time, Liu Qi's camp had also been cleaned up, and the army was preparing to move out.

"General, it's not good. The camp of the Jin army is empty, and they have fled overnight." The spy said to Liu Qi.

Although Liu Qi was mentally prepared for the news of the Jin army's withdrawal, he was still a little shocked when he heard the news at this time, and hurriedly asked, "Which direction did the Jin army withdraw?"

This question caught the two spies in front of them. After they found out that there was no one in the Jinjun camp, they rushed back to deliver the news without any hesitation. As for where the Jinjun fled, they didn't know I didn't think about it, and, besides fleeing to the north, do the Jin army have other places to go?
"Great... General, the Jin army must have fled to the north, right?" The spy said with a guilty conscience.

"Should? What is supposed? Didn't you investigate clearly?" Liu Qi frowned and said.

"Forgive me, General. The two of us found that the Jin Army's camp had been empty, and came back to report in a hurry, so we didn't seriously investigate the direction of the Jin Army's escape. Moreover, besides continuing to go north, did the Jin Army have other options? Is it the escape route?" The spy hurriedly replied.

"Forget it, I will forgive you this time. If there is another time, this general will definitely punish you severely. The most taboo thing in marching and fighting is taking things for granted. Soldiers are deceitful. You spies, as the leader of the army Eyes, you must report according to the facts, and you must not add your own subjective guesses to the situation you see, this will cause interference to the army, and it will delay the opportunity of the battle, which is a serious sin." Liu Qi taught The two spies in front said.

"General, I will punish you when I am found guilty!" The two spies said to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "You are the first offenders, so I will let you go this time. If there is another time, you will not be so lucky. Now hurry up and investigate again, and the army will continue to move forward. "

Liu Qi let all the spies out to check for Jin Jun's traces. He didn't expect that Jin Jun had already sneaked into his flank in the dark. It was just a cautious character cultivated in many years of marching and fighting.

When Liu Qi led the army to the position of the Jin Army's camp, the Jin Army had already reached the edge of the primeval forest. As long as they went one step further and entered the primeval forest, it would be like what Wanyan Zongbi said, Even if Jiaolong entered the sea, it would be impossible for Song Jun to pursue them.

In the camp of the Jin Army, Liu Qi touched the already cold kettle, shook his head and said, "Based on this time calculation, the Jin Army should have been gone for at least two hours, and we won't be able to catch up in two hours. gone."

"Report, General, did you find the direction where the Jin army fled in the southeast?" A soldier ran in and reported to Liu Qi.
