The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 536 Escape to Mobei
Wu Gang left the place he had guarded for more than ten years, went far away, willing to become an ordinary person.Then, the generals from the other two states also came to Tanzhou to meet Zhao Gou. The choices of the two of them were strikingly similar to those of WISCO, and they were unwilling to continue fighting on the battlefield.

Moreover, the two of them left in the same direction as WISCO.It can be said that the three of them walked in the same place at the same time as if they had already negotiated, and the most important thing was the friendship between brothers, which Zhao Gou had to admire.

"The last three prefectures have been recovered, so the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are completely in the hands of Da Song!" Zhao Gou was elated, and his long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled, "With the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun as a barrier, it is considered a golden soldier The southward invasion also has to be weighed. As long as the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are always in the hands of Song Dynasty, it will be difficult for Jin soldiers to attack Song Dynasty."

Zhao Yougong smiled and said: "The current Yanyun sixteen prefectures must become the best barrier of the Song Dynasty, so it will be safe."

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "It's still close to being safe. You must know that after the Khitan is destroyed, the Jurchens will definitely not let it go. Now that the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are all in our hands, if we want it to become a monolith, we have to increase the border. defensive force."

"I have already asked my father for an order so that the army does not have to return to the Central Plains, and all stay in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. As for the place guarded by Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others, the place guarded by four people has been confirmed, and the next is the city guarded by other generals."

Zhao Yougong frowned, and said: "Ninth brother, if you let all the generals guard the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, I am afraid that some people in the court will object. After all, most of the generals who will fight with the army this time are under your command. Come on, someone will say that you are 'king from the north', and such words will be of great disadvantage to you."

"Second brother, you don't have to worry about this!" Zhao Goufeng smiled lightly and said, "The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are the last wishes of our ancestors, and they have been fulfilled now. The emperor will definitely treat Yanyun ten The six states are paying attention, so don’t worry even if someone says it again, but this time we need to keep a low profile when we return to Beijing.”

"Does the tree attract the wind?" Zhao Yougong whispered, Zhao Gou also nodded.

Now that the Yanyun sixteen prefectures have been recovered, the next thing is for the class teacher to return to the dynasty.However, Zhao Gou did not return to Beijing immediately, but continued to stay in Tanzhou because he was waiting for an opportunity.If the troops were withdrawn at this time and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were not settled properly, they might lose what had been captured with great difficulty.

It is a great achievement that Zhao Gou led the army to capture the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and even the soldiers who went out with him must be reused by the court.However, this is the case in the officialdom. The greater the credit, the more low-key is needed. If it is high-profile, it may cause taboo.

Even Song Huizong's favorite, even the prince, must act in a low-key manner.After all, Bianjing City is at the foot of the imperial city, so one should not act recklessly, nor should one be proud of one's credit, so as not to overwhelm the master.Moreover, the crown prince Zhao Huan is still here, so I'm afraid that things will not be so simple in the future.

Zhao Gou was also thinking about this matter, and he always felt that something was wrong, as if something big would happen.Because these days, he has been paying attention to the situation in Bianjing, and still can't see any changes.Neither the court ministers nor the crown prince had any troubles. The only strange thing was that the crown prince appeared in court again after the new year.

The Lunar New Year has passed, Zhao Gou gave himself the gift of Yanyun Sixteen States, and Song Huizong did the same, smiling happily.At this moment, Song Huizong's face was full of complacency, and the domineering arrogance of the king's presence appeared on him.

"Second brother, how is the battle between Khitan and Jurchen going?"

Zhao Yougong replied: "You can't be optimistic!"

Zhao Yougong explained the news of the spies' report in detail. Just as Zhao Conceived, the battle between Liao and Jurchens was a one-sided situation. Liao had no chance of winning, while Jurchens were sure to win.

After Zhongjing's Dading Mansion was breached, the Jurchen army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and they attacked all the way to the outside of Emperor Tianzuo's imperial city, which made Emperor Tianzuo very worried.Emperor Tianzuo, who was still drinking and having fun, didn't have that kind of thought at this time, he was afraid.

Emperor Tianzuo was afraid of losing everything, and even more afraid of losing his life.In front of life, everything else is external.

Therefore, Emperor Tianzuo issued an imperial decree, ordering all the troops to gather together and must guard the last barrier.Strange to say, even the Jurchens were a bit unbelievable at the Khitan's explosive fighting power at the last moment. The battle lasted for half a month, and the two armies were at a stalemate.

Emperor Tianzuo, who had never fought an enemy before, appeared on the front line for the first time, and he was unwilling to come. However, after the ministers persuaded him and thought twice, he still came.

Because Emperor Tianzuo appeared in the army, he was inspiring and boosted the morale of the Liao army, blocking the offensive of the Jin soldiers one after another.

At the same time, the Song army had completely recovered the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, which made Wan Yancheng furious and anxious. He directly ordered an all-out attack, and no matter how much the price was paid, he must take the head of Emperor Tianzuo and completely destroy the Liao Dynasty. .

In addition, Wanyan Sheng even ordered that whoever kills the head of Emperor Tianzuo will be directly crowned king and granted land; the head of the king of Beiyuan will be promoted to three ranks in a row, rewarded with gold and silver, and even a mansion and other rewards.

Under the heavy reward, the fighting power of the Jin soldiers increased greatly, which caused the Liao army to retreat steadily in the following battles, and finally retreated to guard in the imperial city.However, the Jurchen army followed closely, killing all the way, as if with the help of a god, all the soldiers seemed to have inexhaustible strength, rushing forward one after another, in order to take down the head of the Minister of Liao, and then get the reward.

Wanyan Sheng was not a person who broke his promise, he fulfilled his promises one by one, which caused the Jurchen army to boil up and down, rushing forward one after another, regardless of life or death.

"My dear ones, what should I do now?" Emperor Tianzuo looked at the crowd worriedly, hoping for good advice from them.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and lowered their heads one after another, no one was willing to speak.With the current situation, Daliao is doomed to perish. Even if they don't want to admit it, they have to admit that this time they are really desperate.

"Your Majesty, the situation has become clear!" The minister didn't make it clear, but they understood what they meant. Everyone was silent, and he continued: "Let the green hills remain, so we don't have to worry about running out of firewood! Your Majesty, it's better to retreat! "

"Retreat? Where can I retreat!" Emperor Tianzuo smiled wryly. Now that the Jin soldiers are coming, if the Yanyun Sixteen States are still there, they can retreat temporarily. However, they have already lost, and there is really no way to retreat.

"If you really retreat, there is only one way to go, retreat to Mobei!" Another person said in a deep voice, "Mobei is the northernmost part of Daliao. The Jurchens are not familiar with this place. Only we know the route. They don't know where to go." Where to pursue; and our army can also retreat first, and then make a comeback later.”

Emperor Tianzuo thought it was okay when he heard it, and Mobei seldom went there.That place was originally the former position of Daliao. The Jurchens were not familiar with it, nor did they know how to find it.

Therefore, Emperor Tianzuo decided to 'retreat' to Mobei and make a comeback in the future.
