Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 254 Great loss
Guo Jing and Earl Ying laughed for a long time, and Guo Jing gradually stopped smiling.

He pointed to the other side of the wall and said: "The war should have started again. Brother Ying, do you think the Song Dynasty has a chance of winning?"

Earl Ying shook his head, frowned and said: "It's really an unknown number. It's impossible to determine what the Song Dynasty's chances of winning are. Anyway, who will win in the end, nothing is known yet."

Guo Jing shook his head and smiled wryly: "To be honest, in fact, I asked His Majesty to give me 770 people in the court that day, and let me go to the city to do it, purely because I didn't know what to do."

"You can only long for a miracle. Brother Ying, you know the strength of our Song Army better than anyone else. Compared with their Jin Army, the Great Song Army General is really not enough."

"Once the decisive battle breaks out, tell me, won't the Jin army be enough for us to drink a pot?"

Only then did Earl Ying realize why Guo Jing, a demon, had his brain so short-circuited that he could come up with such a bad idea.

In history, once the demon Guo Jing adopted this strategy, it directly led to the Jingkang Incident, the destruction of Bianliang City, and the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the past, Earl Ying could never figure out how Guo Jing's brain grew.

Now that Guo Jing was telling him this, he finally understood that in fact, the reason why Guo Jing came up with such a bad idea was purely due to the extreme reaction of a person who was forced to have no choice in a desperate situation.

Earl Ying patted Guo Jing's shoulder lightly and said, "Brother Guo, many things are difficult to handle, but as the saying goes, who can make mistakes without being a sage?"

"You don't have to think too much. Anyway, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Maybe the Song Dynasty will win this battle."

Guo Jing naturally understood that in this decisive battle between Song and Jin, the winning rate of both sides could actually account for 50.00%.

But right now he is being held in a big prison, and he may die here tragically at any time.

He clearly wanted to participate in the decisive battle between Song and Jin, but he couldn't find a way.

At the same time, outside Bianliang City, there was Yucui Lake.

Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu joined hands here to wait for the Jin army to attack. As of now, a full hour has passed.

There was still no sign of Jin Jun. Han Shizhong had already said that an hour ago when Zhao Gou and Yue Fei led the army to leave Yucui Lake.

He said that he would stay at Yucui Lake for an hour. If he could not see Jin Jun, he would go to the next stop to meet them.

Now that an hour has passed, Han Shizhong realizes that there may be no point in staying at Yucui Lake.

So he ordered the seven thousand old and weak soldiers under his command to prepare to set off for the next stop.

It was very late at this time, Han Shizhong rode on the horse and looked at everything in front of him.

Those dense jungles, those withered flowers, everything seemed so dangerous.

Han Shizhong's subordinates told him that on the way from Yucui Lake to the next stop, it was best not to take secluded roads, but only broad roads.

Because the Jin army was insidious and their combat skills were several times higher than that of the Song army, if something unexpected happened, they would be intercepted by the Jin army secretly.

Then, the Song Army could not escape from the clutches of the Jin Army no matter what.

Han Shizhong listened to this man's opinion, so he led his troops and horses on the only broad road in the Yucui Lake area and hurried on.

In order to reach the next stop as quickly as possible, Han Shizhong specifically ordered his men not to rest at all times, let alone stop.

Along the way, if there is stagnant water, go through it, and if there is a mountain, go around it.

Even if there is a broken giant tree lying in the middle of the road, jump over it if you can.

If he couldn't jump, he cut off the giant tree and moved it to the side of the road.Fortunately, Han Shizhong was never intercepted by the Jin army along the way.

Zhao Gou and Yue Fei encountered a massive siege by Jin Wushu, King of Liang of the Jin Dynasty, in the area of ​​Green Willow Villa at their next stop. They exhausted all the strength of nine cows and two tigers, and finally recovered it under the protection of the Song Army. A small life.

This breakout battle really caused Zhao Gou's Eastern Route Army to be greatly damaged and suffered unprecedented damage.

At this point, the Eastern and Western armies and horses of the Song Dynasty have been reduced by half. The number of troops was originally small. After these two sudden changes, only five-tenths of the Eastern and Western armies and horses are left.

However, at this time, the distance war broke out, and only five hours had passed.

The sky was completely dark, and Zhao Gou and Yue Fei fled southward panting.

Soldiers followed closely behind him.

Seeing that there is a moat in front of them, if they continue to run forward, then all the places behind them will be occupied by the Jin army.

By that time, the Eastern Route Army had almost declared defeat.

After all, the moat is the last barrier of the inner city of Bianliang, no matter whether you stick to this place on the south side of the moat, or stick to this place on the north side of the moat.

In any case, once the moat is lost, the Jin army will completely attack the inner city of Bianliang, and it will be like entering an uninhabited country.

Zhao Gou and Yue Fei were deeply embarrassed, and it seemed that they had to stay where they were now, waiting for the last desperate battle with the Jin army here.

The final result is nothing more than death for you and me.

Anyway, if I die, the Eastern Route Army will be completely wiped out. I will only wait for the Jin Army to completely capture the moat of the inner city and capture the inner city of Bianliang in one fell swoop.

The tense and suffocating air filled the heads of the Eastern Route Army led by Si Zhaogou, and everyone was trembling with fear.

The sudden battle just now made everyone confused. It is conceivable that if such a defense battle happens again, the Song Army is determined to finish it off.

At this moment, Zhao Gou and Yue Fei coincidentally heard bursts of rapid footsteps coming from the west.

The two of them hurriedly turned back to take a closer look, and saw three men wearing Song Army armor running towards this place quickly.

Zhao Gou's expression froze and he quickly asked his subordinates to investigate.

Soon, the subordinates brought the three people over.

Zhao Gou pointed at the three of them and asked sharply: "Who are you? Are you deserters?"

When the three of them saw that they had arrived in front of King Kang Zhao Gou, they burst into tears and reported Sun Qingshan's betrayal of the Song Dynasty to the Jin army.

Then he reported to Zhao Gou the fact that Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang led his troops to escape from death.

Zhao Gou and the following people had mixed feelings in their hearts after listening to the three people's stories.

There is both deep hatred for Sun Qingshan and deep pity for Li Gang.

Everyone knows the strategic deployment of the Western Route Army of the Song Dynasty. In order to ensure that this battle was foolproof, Emperor Huizong specially appointed Sun Qingshan and Li Gang as the general admirals of the Western Route Army.

The two men had equal rights in the West Route Army.

Not to mention Sun Qingshan, everyone knows how loyal Li Gang is.
