The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 368 Happy New Year
Mo Yu nodded, and said to Wan Yanchang: "That's true, but at this time, we can only respond to changes with the same, and there is no better way."

Wan Yanchang nodded, and said: "Order the whole army, hurry up and go back to Shangjing as soon as possible."

Mo Yu led the order to go, but was stopped by Wan Yanchang.

"By the way, is there any news about Wanyan Zonghan?" Wanyanchang asked softly.

Mo Yu shook his head, and said to Wanyan Zonghan, "Not yet."

Wan Yanchang nodded and said, "Okay, I see. If you have any news, report it to me as soon as possible."

Mo Yu nodded and went to convey the order.

As if feeling Wan Yanchang's chanting, Wanyan Zonghan sneezed and looked at the frozen Yellow River ahead. The red flag fluttered across the river, and Wanyan Zonghan frowned tightly.

To be honest, Wanyan Zonghan was really strange in his heart. Although it was not the first time he went south to attack the Song Dynasty, to be honest, he still didn't understand this country until now.

At the beginning, Wanyan Zonghan felt that the Song Dynasty was a kingdom of heaven, and he respected the Song Dynasty in his heart. After all, he had a preconceived impression of the Tang Dynasty. Wanyan Zonghan was cautious when he saw the Song Dynasty for the first time.

But later, with the deepening of contact and increasing understanding, Wanyan Zonghan found that things had changed. The people in the court of the Song Dynasty were all selfish people. They didn't care about the life and death of the common people below. , do not think about making progress, only know how to exploit, have great power, but have little ability.

After having such an understanding, Wanyan Zonghan could no longer respect this country, so the Kingdom of Jin began to move south to attack the Kingdom of Song, and easily occupied the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun that had been returned to the Song Dynasty. In this way, the Song Dynasty became even weaker in Wanyan Zonghan's heart.

Everything is developing according to the expected situation. When the Jin army went south, it directly surrounded Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty. At this time, even the emperor of the Song Dynasty was about to abandon the city and flee. All the officials along the way directly opened the city and surrendered. .

It stands to reason that the annexation of the Song Dynasty should be just around the corner.

But at this critical moment, a person suddenly appeared, that is, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, and that person named Zhao Huan was abdicated to become the emperor.

Since this person came to the throne, the first siege of Kaifeng ended without a problem. I thought it was just a coincidence, but I didn't expect that everything started from that moment. It was like opening Pandora's magic box. Everything began developed in an unfavorable direction.

The Kingdom of Jin lost time and time again, and even the capital was breached. This time, 30 troops were assembled, and they wanted to avenge their shame and destroy the Kingdom of Song. Unexpectedly, it turned into the current situation. The number of people lost has exceeded half, and it is really unknown whether the more than [-] people under my command can survive.

"General!" Zhao Tang saw Wanyan Zonghan's stunned look, and couldn't help but come over and say softly.

Wanyan Zonghan woke up, retracted Piaoyuan's thoughts, and said to Zhao Tang: "What's wrong?"

"The spies came over just now to spread the word that the Yue family army led by Yue Fei is less than ten miles away from our army..." Zhao Tang said softly.

Wanyan Zonghan took a deep breath and said to Zhao Tang: "They came really fast enough."

Zhao Tang nodded and said to Wanyan Zonghan, "General, what should we do now?"

Wanyan Zonghan looked at the opposite side of the Yellow River. Although the flags were fluttering on the opposite side, at this time, he couldn't stop moving forward.

"Do we have any other options?" Wanyan Zonghan said softly.

Zhao Tang shook his head, and said to Wanyan Zonghan, "It seems not."

Wanyan Zonghan nodded and said to Zhao Tang: "That's it. Only by rushing through can we have a chance of survival. If we can't rush through, then we will die."

"Call the whole army, I have something to say." Wanyan Zonghan said to Zhao Tang.

Zhao Tang nodded, and said to Wanyan Zonghan, "I'll get the whole army to line up right away."

Soon, Jin Jun stood in line.

Wanyan Zonghan looked at the group of soldiers in front of him, and it can be said that he was filled with emotion.

"Brothers, are you afraid?" Wan Yan Zonghan said to the more than [-] people in front of him.

A group of Jin Jun looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they were afraid in their hearts, no one answered. They didn't know what Wanyan Zonghan wanted to express.

"I know you are afraid? Death, who is not afraid?" Wan Yan Zonghan saw that no one answered him, and continued at this time.

"Since you are afraid of death, you must work hard to keep yourself alive and not die!" Wanyan Zonghan continued.

"But how can we not die?" a voice whispered.

"Why don't you die? That's a good question." Wanyan Zonghan pointed behind him and said, "Do you know what's behind this?"

There was another silence, and then one of the Jin soldiers boldly said: "The ones behind are the pursuers of the Song army."

"You're right. The Song army's pursuers are behind us. As long as we are caught up by them, we will be killed!" Wanyan Zonghan said softly.

"General Wanyan Tang, you all know that he is a warrior of our Kingdom of Jin, a hero of our Kingdom of Great Jin, but now he has stayed in Licheng forever, and he was killed by those Song soldiers Yes." Wanyan Zonghan continued.

Wanyantang's prestige in the army is still very high. After all, in this country where martial arts are respected, people with high combat effectiveness still have a high status in the army. Hearing what Wanyan Zonghan said at this time, all the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay. There is always a sense of empathy.

"Now, look in front of us again, what is that?" Wanyan Zonghan said immediately.

"The Yellow River is ahead." A soldier replied in a low voice.

"That's right, the Yellow River is ahead. As long as we cross the Yellow River, we will be safe." Wanyan Zonghan continued.

"Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and cross the river." Another voice rang out from the crowd.

"Good question, what are we waiting for? But have you noticed that on the north bank of the Yellow River, flags are fluttering at this moment, and many people are holding the banner of the Yue Family Army to prevent us from crossing the river. At this time, you tell me, What are you going to do?" Wanyan Zonghan shouted vigorously, ensuring that his voice could be clearly transmitted to everyone.
