Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 667 Planning to Return to the North
Dazhang is a newcomer, and his Temu is an elite group of Khitans and Jurchens. He has not made any achievements yet, and immediately said: "Mr. Tens of thousands of people have nowhere to go, and now they can only move forward and take their place."

"If Xuzhou falls, we will be in danger. If we don't divide our troops to rescue the living girl." Wuyan Puluhun was a little shaken, his views were relatively conservative, but they were very safe.

Alupu nodded, stood up and said, "Mr. Lang, Xuzhou cannot afford to lose anything, and has to rescue quickly."

Seeing that Li Qiong didn't make a sound, Wu Shu asked, "What do you think of the national treasure?"

Originally, Li Qiong was inconvenient to say much due to his status, but Wu Shu seemed to be eyeing him, and couldn't help calling it unlucky.He is not a person who has no intentions at all. Seeing that most of the generals of the Jin army said no one to withdraw the army, the meaning behind the words is self-evident, and the intention of withdrawing the army is very clear.

He thought for a while, and said cautiously: "There is a big river in front, and tigers and wolves in the back. It's time for Lang Jun to make his own decisions!"

The corner of Wu Shu's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at Li Qiong approvingly. The wise man's answer was not offending either side, and he expressed his own opinion, and immediately stared closely at the generals.

Originally, this Southern Expedition was a strategy of attrition, and almost all the elite of the Golden Army were under his command, so Taran's defeat was expected.It was too fast to break through Jingdong. The main force of the Song army was not wiped out. Instead, it had time to gather. It would be okay if it was in normal times.

If Xuzhou is lost, he will fall into the embarrassing situation of being attacked by the enemy. Although there are still retreats for the Huaiyang Army and Yizhou, it will be much more difficult.

Fortunately, most of the goals of the Southern Expedition have been achieved. What needs to be done now is how to retreat decently without being seen as a failure. This is an absolutely important part.

"If you want to withdraw, you have to wait until Shu Liesu and Er Lu make up for the army. At the end, the general is willing to raise troops to wipe out the barbarian reinforcements."

Wushu was interrupted by Helusuo's loud voice, his eyes were like a torch, he looked at Helusuo closely, shook his head and said: "You don't need to destroy them all, as long as you can hold them for a few days, Wulie's The guards are temporarily under your control."

Even their own guards were given to Helusuo. Everyone's hearts were as clear as a mirror, and they bought enough time for the army to retreat. After all, too much money was plundered in this battle, and the escort of the Han army was too slow.

However, they were finally able to return home from the north, and everyone felt an inexplicable joy in their hearts.

"Okay, everyone, hurry back to the village and get ready, and take Zhongli down."

Li Qiong got up to leave with the crowd, but he couldn't help but feel desolate in his heart. The confusion that had been suppressed deep in his heart finally let go. He had completely become a traitor who could not turn back.

Although he was already doomed from the time he wrote Wushu, but only at this moment did he seriously think about it, and truly regret all that he had done.

The high-level officials made a decision, but the battle had to go on, Xuzhou's gains and losses were still unknown, and Wushu had to defeat the Dianqian Division's reinforcements and take Zhongli down. This is a matter of face, not a matter of victory or defeat.

In the middle of the night, a thatched cottage in a small courtyard outside Wuqing County, Cangzhou.

A masked man in black was anxiously walking in the house, the cottage door rang twice, the masked man stopped and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

A young man about 27 or [-] years old, wearing a blue homespun short jacket, quickly pushed the door open, bowed and said, "I've seen you, sir."

"Has Princess Xin'an arrived?" The masked man in black stared coldly at the young man who came in with eagle-like eyes, and his tone of voice was also cold.

"The princess is already on the boat outside, please show me."

"Okay, well done." The masked man in black stretched his brows, his eyes softened, and he said with a soft smile, "Get on board."

The masked man in black and the young man went out of the yard, seeing no one around, they went straight to a larger fishing boat moored by the river.

Several people dressed as fishermen saluted him, and the masked man in black entered the cabin, and saw a 27-year-old beautiful woman with a face of fear, sitting in the corner of the cabin, with a pair of beautiful and tired big eyes, terrified and uneasy staring at the intruder.

The masked man in black simply sat down and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, don't panic, I am the envoy of the Privy Council's Speed ​​Division, and the cabin is inconvenient to see the ceremony. I hope the Princess will forgive me."

"Machine Speed ​​Division?" The beautiful woman's eyes were full of fear, she was obviously very unfamiliar with official titles, and she was very afraid of the masked man.

"The identities of the envoys must be kept secret. If it weren't for the princess, I would never be in danger. I have a good relationship with the princess. I didn't expect to meet the royal nobles, so I simply rescued the princess." The masked man in black was shocked. Don't care about being authentic.

Speaking of this, Princess Xin'an's complexion improved a bit, and he believed that the person on the other side was one of his own.

Only then did his face become calmer, and he believed that he had indeed escaped and ascended to heaven, and said sadly: "Thank you for saving me, my lord, but why didn't you rescue Yun Wudi Zongji?"

The black-clothed masked man's eyes were dim, and his tone was blunt: "For the sake of the princess, the next brother will die for the country. Now the north and the south are fighting each other. To be able to bring the princess out alone, I have done my best."

Princess Xin'an looked uncertain, bowed her head in silence, and there was still sadness in her expression. She was a bit unfamiliar with the title of princess, but she knew the meaning.

The masked man in black seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said again: "You are not out of danger at this time, and the three officials outside will protect you to leave. If the wind is favorable, you can go all the way to the sea and endure for a few days before you can reach the territory of Song Dynasty."

Princess Xin'an's eyes were slightly wet when he heard the words, and his expression was stunned, and he said weakly: "Kaifeng, can I really go back to Kaifeng?"

"The imperial court has moved to the south, cherish all the way, and I will leave here." Faced with the tragic situation of Princess Xin'an, the masked man in black sighed softly.

"Sigh, I don't know your lord's surname, but I will report it to you in the future." Princess Xin'an blushed slightly.

"It's your duty, princess, take care." The masked man in black smiled faintly, and he had exited the cabin.

When he watched the fishing boat disappear into the dark river on the bank, he said to the young man in a deep voice: "Remember, our duty is to spy on the military situation. Every envoy is precious. No matter who we meet, we cannot There is the benevolence of a woman."

The young man stared at the masked man in black, and said hesitantly, "My lord, these royal family daughters are really pitiful, they have been trafficked here and there."

"Shut up." The black-clothed masked man's eyes were sharp, and he scolded: "You and I are responsible for obtaining information for the imperial court, how can we cause losses for the nobles in distress, you guys are too reckless, if you do it next time Deal with it, never tolerate it."

Having said that, he paused and said in a low voice: "Forget it! When you meet these troubled clan daughters, you can pretend to be a businessman to buy them, and you must not take the risk of breaking into the mansion of the noble chief."
