The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 498
The fall of Shanhaiguan Pass is absolutely fatal news for Jin Guo.

"Shanhaiguan fell? When did it happen?" Wan Yanliang stared at his eyes and growled.

"Your Majesty, when the defenders of Shencheng wanted to enter the customs, they were blocked by the Shanhai Pass, and they still took a detour to the sea to pass on the news!" The messenger said to Wan Yanliang.

Hearing this news, Wan Yanliang was about to explode.

"So the defenders of Shanhaiguan surrendered to the Song Dynasty?" Wan Yanliang had a cold face, as if he was about to kill someone.

The messenger lowered his head and said, "This subordinate doesn't know."

How could he, a mere messenger, know such an important matter.

"Your Majesty, Shanhaiguan is very important and must be in the hands of our army, otherwise we will be passive." At this time, Shanhe stood up and said.

Wan Yanliang naturally understands one of the truths. Shanhaiguan is the only way for the Jin army to enter the pass, and of course it is also the only way to retreat. After leaving Shanhaiguan, it is also the base camp of the Kingdom of Jin. Even if the Kingdom of Jin suffered a defeat on the front line, He can also return to the base camp for repairs at any time.

But now, Shanhaiguan was just lost, and most importantly, they didn't know how Shanhaiguan was lost and how many Song troops were in the city.

Wan Yanliang felt that the whole person was not well, and ordered: "Check, give me a thorough investigation of the Shanhaiguan situation, and in addition, send an order to the Shencheng garrison Wanyan Hall, let him gather an army, and definitely take Shanhaiguan back to me." .”

Shan He hesitated for a moment, and said to Wan Yanliang: "Your Majesty, the Song army took the initiative to occupy Shanhaiguan. General Wanyanting alone will lead [-] troops, and I am afraid that they will not be able to take Shanhaiguan."

Wan Yanliang took a deep breath, why didn't he understand this truth, but in the current situation, the Song army was already watching and pressing, so why should he divide his troops to attack Shanhaiguan?
Wan Yanliang suddenly regretted it. He moved the capital so hastily, it was a bit too hasty. Now that his back road has been cut off, how can he fight Song Jun?

In fact, they still have the advantage in terms of numbers, but they have already fallen behind in terms of weapons. Now that the back road is cut off, then he really has no advantage at all.

"Pass my military order, block the news, and don't disclose the news of the fall of Shanhaiguan to anyone." Wan Yanliang issued a death order and said, he was really worried that the news of the fall of Shanhaiguan would disturb the morale of the army.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late." At this moment, Wu Qing, Minister of the Household Department, said to Wan Yanliang.

"How do you say that?" Wan Yanliang frowned and said to Wu Qing.

"Today, when I was in the morning court, I heard people talking about this matter on the road, but I took it as a joke at the time, thinking that the Song army deliberately hit our army's morale. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid someone would have already The news has been spread." Wu Qing said to Wan Yanliang.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Prime Minister Zuo stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, there is an old saying in the Song Dynasty that if you want to fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. At this time, we still have to take Shanhaiguan back first."

Wan Yanliang listened quietly without speaking.

Zhanxian then continued: "Now Your Majesty has General Wanyanting lead an army of [-] to attack from the north, and another general here will attack from the south. When the time comes, we will attack back and forth. It will not be difficult to take back Shanhaiguan."

Wan Yanliang calculated the feasibility of this matter in his mind.

It seems that this is the only way to do it at this time, otherwise if the army knows that Shanhaiguan has fallen, I am afraid that the morale of the army will change again, and it will be a big trouble again.

Moreover, under the current situation, the Song Army has powerful arrows and artillery, and they have no countermeasures in a short period of time. It is impossible to take the initiative to attack at this time. Recovering Shanhaiguan is a good choice.

"Shanhe accepts the order!" Wan Yanliang said to Shanhe.

Shanhe quickly knelt down.

"I appointed you as the Conqueror General, leading an army of [-], marching quickly to Shanhaiguan, no matter what the cost, I must take Shanhaiguan back to me."

Unexpectedly, Wan Yanliang sent out 10 people directly, Shanhe was stunned, and then hurriedly said to Wan Yanliang: "The last general will lead the order, and I will not disgrace the mission!"

Leading an army of [-], in Heshan's view, this is absolutely foolproof, but he doesn't know when he will face Yue Fei next, and Yue Fei's most elite Feiyu Army.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Youzhou City that He Shan is leading an army of [-] troops, heading towards Shanhai Pass." Han Shizhong came over and said to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan nodded when he heard what Han Shizhong said, and said, "Pengju acted fast enough this time, I thought I'd wait for a few more days."

It was also at this time that Han Shizhong realized that Yue Fei was not left at home by Zhao Huan, but went to Shanhaiguan. Now Shanhaiguan is held in the hands of the Song Dynasty, which is equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the Jin army.

"Your Majesty, Pengju only brought [-] soldiers and horses. Now that the Jin army's [-] troops have passed, plus the army from Shangjing City, the two sides will attack back and forth. I'm afraid Pengju will be in danger." Han Shizhong worried. Said.

Zhao Huan was not worried about this at all, and said: "Unless Wan Yanliang withdraws all the troops, otherwise, they will never break through the Shanhai Pass guarded by Pengju."

Han Shizhong didn't know where Zhao Huan's self-confidence came from, but seeing him say that, thinking that Shanhaiguan must be safe, he nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Zhao Huan thought for a while, and said to Han Shizhong: "We can't just be idle here. Since Jin Jun wants to go to Shanhaiguan, let's add some materials to them, and send an order to Liu Moyu, asking him to lead people to generals in Tongzhou. Ambush the Golden Army."

"The last general will do it." Han Shizhong took the order and left.

"Wait!" Zhao Huan went on to say, "Tell Liu Moyu, let him click to the end, this time the purpose is just to kill the Jin army, there is no need to completely annihilate them, don't let him miss this king's important event .”

Han Shizhong promised to leave Zhao Huan's camp. No wonder Zhao Huan had such thoughts. After all, Liu Moyu was a lunatic when he started a war. harassment.

Liu Moyu went, took away fifty arrows and 25 troops, and laid an ambush in Tongzhou, while Zhao Huan also led the remaining [-] troops to Youzhou City.

An army of 25 surrounded the city of Youzhou in three directions, east, west, and south.
