The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 261 Decided to Withdraw Northward
Wanyan Zonghan waved his hand and said: "The reason why Song Jun did this is to anger our army. If our army goes out now, wouldn't it be just a trap of Song Jun!"

The golden general guarding the city heard what Yan Zonghan said, and said angrily: "It's just that the Song army insulted my majesty, the last general really can't swallow this breath."

"Okay, if you continue to rush forward when you know that the other party is in an ambush, aren't you taking the lives of soldiers to die?" Wan Yan Zonghan said with a frown.

The golden general said helplessly: "Even so, it's better than suffering this kind of uselessness here!"

This golden general naturally has that kind of straightforward temperament. Even though he knew that Song Jun did it on purpose, he still felt a little hard to calm down the anger in his heart. I am afraid that the golden general guarding the city is not the only one who has such thoughts. .

"Don't be rude!" Wanyan Xiyin reprimanded: "This is the critical moment of the decisive battle between our army and the Song army. If our army loses its position at this time, it will inevitably suffer defeat!"

The golden general was reprimanded, but he didn't dare to refute, but Wan Yan Zonghan couldn't help but feel worried at this moment, after all, the golden general's thoughts at this time also reflected the thoughts of some members of the golden army.

"What should I do?" Wanyan Zonghan asked the generals in front of him after returning to the imperial palace in Daming City.

"Either fight, or retreat, or defend, these are the three situations, but in the current situation, defending is probably impossible, so there are only two situations of fighting and retreat." Wanyan Xiyin said softly.

"War is not the best strategy. Our army is forced to fight. The Song army must hope that our army will go out of the city to fight. Our army does not have to be afraid of the Song army. However, if the two armies are stalemate, then the time to return to Beijing will definitely be different." It will be postponed later." Wan Yanwen said softly.

"The time to return to the capital has already been postponed. We must not delay any longer. I don't know the situation in the upper capital yet. The morale of the army is not stable. It is really disadvantageous for our army to fight the Song army!" Wan Yanchang said at this time Said, once the emperor and the courtiers, at this time the Jin Kingdom has changed hands, and the generals are away, it is impossible to say that they are not in a hurry to go back.

"In that case, let's withdraw the troops!" Wanyan Zonghan said in a deep voice.

"If the troops are withdrawn, then this famous city will definitely fall. Could it be that this famous city should be given to the Song Army for nothing?" Wan Yanhai said unwillingly.

"I think that the Emperor Taizu gave the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures to the Song Army back then. What was the result? So what if this famous city was given to the Song Dynasty? Could they be able to defend it?" Wanyan Xiyin said indifferently.

This sentence is true. The Song and Jin alliances resisted the Liao Dynasty. It was originally agreed that the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures occupied by the Liao Kingdom would be returned to the Song Dynasty after the Liao Dynasty was destroyed. However, the Song court at that time was weak and incompetent, and could not capture the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures by its own strength.

Even so, the State of Jin treated the State of Song with great respect at the beginning. Wanyan Xiyin was sent as an envoy to the Song Dynasty at the beginning. It was agreed to give the Sixteen States of Youyun to the Song Dynasty, but since then, he has completely looked down on the Song Dynasty from the bottom of his heart.

"It's just that today is different from the past. In the past, the emperor of the Song Dynasty only knew how to run away, and the treacherous ministers in the court were in power. Now the new emperor of the Song Dynasty is a man who is capable and capable, and he is not the same!" Wanyan Zonghan said softly.

"Defending peace and fighting is not the best strategy. A small and famous city is lost as soon as it is lost. Don't we even have the courage to take it back?" Wanyan Xiyin said with some pride. He is the oldest among them, but he is the most proud one.

"That's right, as long as our army is still there, there is no need to worry about returning the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures to the Song Dynasty!" Wan Yanwen said in agreement.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally reached a consensus to abandon the famous city. Moreover, according to the current situation, it is unnecessary to leave the defenders to defend the city. After all, there are 20 troops from the Song Dynasty outside. Thirty to fifty thousand people have no way to resist the impact of the Song Dynasty's army. Instead of leaving soldiers to die here, it is better to preserve their strength.

After the decision was made, the army of the Kingdom of Jin began to act intensively, preparing for the retreat. Of course, the main thing was to transport away all the wealth that Liu Yu collected in Daming City. Although Liu Yu was the emperor of the puppet Qi It's not long, but there are quite a lot of people's fat and people's ointment to be searched. Every year Liu Yu pays a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to the Kingdom of Jin, but even so, Liu Yu's warehouse is full of food and gold, silver and jewelry at this time It's no wonder that everyone said that the puppet Qi under Liu Yu's jurisdiction at that time was three thousand miles away and uninhabited.

Now Liu Yu has been abolished, but his gold, silver and jewels cannot be kept. As soon as the guns are fired, the gold will be tens of thousands of taels, and the Jin army will come from thousands of miles to attack the Song Dynasty. This huge expenditure always needs someone The person who came here for reimbursement originally hoped to rob the Song Dynasty, but this time he kicked it on the iron plate. Now the puppet Qi has to pay the bill.

After dinner, Wan Yanchang went to meet a man, the puppet Qi's son emperor Liu Yu!
Of course, Liu Yu at this time is no longer a false emperor, he has been abolished by the Kingdom of Jin, and he is locked in a prison at this time.

After Liu Yu saw Wan Yanchang, he wept bitterly, knelt in front of Wan Yanchang, and kept repenting for himself.

"General, in the past, villains had eyes but no eyes, and this is why you contradicted the general. General Wanwang doesn't remember the faults of villains. From then on, I am willing to be the master of the general, and obey the command of the general in everything." Liu Yu knelt on the ground. In front of Wan Yanchang, there was a look of sincerity.

Wan Yanchang kicked Liu Yu away, and said coldly: "A despicable and shameless villain like you, do you think I will still trust you?"

Liu Yu naturally knew that Wan Yanchang no longer trusted him at this time, but in this situation, if he could not get Wan Yanchang's forgiveness, his good life might be coming to an end, so he could only desperately ask Wan Yanchang for help. Yan Chang begged for mercy, if he couldn't finish being Yan Chang's son, then he would finish being Yan Chang's grandson.

It's a pity that Wan Yanchang has completely looked down on Liu Yu. He came here at this time, but he just wanted to make Liu Yu regret it. Seeing Liu Yu's expression at this time, his heart was greatly satisfied. and go.

Letting a person who once held grudges regret is the happiest thing in life.

The Jin army originally planned to withdraw the army to the north in three days, but what happened next made the withdrawal speed of the Jin army much faster.
