Zong Han wanted to withdraw his troops, and he had a strong premonition. He had a premonition that the Western Tent will encounter a severe setback this time and the Western Tent will encounter a severe setback. The entire battle situation is very unfavorable to the Jin army and is even more dangerous to the Western Tent.
The reason why it was very unfavorable to the Jin army was that the Yanjing Marshal's Office made a mistake in judging the situation of the Daibei War and his misunderstanding of the intention to attack Li Hu, and this mistake would lead to the failure of the Jin army across the board.
"Li Hu's main force must be in Daibei. Li Hu's purpose is to replace the north completely. Our loss of Daibei means that we have lost strong control over the southeast of the desert. When Wugu, Dili, Shiwei and Zubu people see that we are defeated by Daibei, they will inevitably fall into the alliance, and the consequences are unimaginable." Zonghan was very excited and kept gesturing on the map. "If we lose Daibei, we will not be able to connect with the Dangxiang people, which makes our alliance with the Dangxiang people very fragile, and the idea of joining forces to attack Li Hu was shattered. What's more terrifying is that Youyan and Hebei are directly under the threat of the Tiger Lie Army. We need to use heavy troops to guard the garrison. In this way, we are blocked from going south to the Yellow River and going north to the desert is even more difficult. We will therefore fall into a dilemma of being difficult to take into account both the beginning and the end. The Great Jin Kingdom will be shackled, unable to move, and difficult to develop."
Zong Wang looked at the map intently, silent. He had a different view. He thought Zong Han was too far in the battle.
Pessimistic, and the reason why Zong Han is so pessimistic is that the Western Treasure Army fights on three battlefields at the same time. Daibei and Hedong need the Western Treasure Army to attack at all costs. After this battle, the Western Treasure Army will inevitably suffer heavy losses and greatly reduce its strength, which will directly affect the authority of the Western Treasure Force in Huanglong Mansion. Zong Han exaggeratedly, because he wanted to withdraw his troops quickly and preserve the strength of the Western Treasure Army to the greatest extent.
"How sure is Li Hu to replace the North?" Zong Wang's tone was plain, and it was obvious that he was very confident in the battle situation in Daibei. "Wanyan Yu and Wanyan Loushi have a hundred thousand troops. How many troops do Li Hu need to use to eat them? Take a step back, even if Li Hu makes a desperate bet and throws all the main forces into the Daibei battlefield, gaining an advantage in military strength, but Wanyan Yu and Wanyan Loushi get a trap at the meeting and take the 100,000 troops to fight the Tiger Lie Army?"
"Let's talk about Yanjing. Even if Juyong Pass is broken, the Tiger Lie Army surrounded Yanjing. With the strength of Yanjing's garrison and solid defense, how long will it take for the Tiger Lie Army to conquer? Dading Prefecture, the troops from Pingzhou Road and western Liaoning can arrive in Yanjing within ten days. Can the Tiger Lie Army conquer Yanjing within ten days?"
"The Marshal defended Yanjing and held the leader of the Huliwei Army. What should I do if the Huliwei Army is on the Daibei battlefield? Li Hu doesn't want Datong? Don't want Taiyuan?" Zong Wang sneered, "Li Hu is on Daibei University."
The attack was huge, but the purpose was actually very simple, which was to lure us out of the Central Plains." He looked up at Zong Han with an angry face, "You can't help but look up to Li Hu. We fought with Li Hu for ten years. If he had the powerful strength you imagined, why would he be at a loss in the battlefield of the Central Plains today? Why couldn't he defend Bianjing City and could only hide on the Guanluo line?"
Zong Wang's words were unanimously agreed by the generals in the tent. Not only were the generals of the Eastern Army firmly supported, but even the generals of the Western Army also spoke with each other, believing that they should concentrate their efforts to attack Bianjing at present. As long as Bianjing is taken down, the Jin army can attack Luoyang and Chang'an. In this way, the entire battle situation will be firmly controlled by the Jin army and the Yellow River Basin can be unified within several months.
Zong Han wanted to persuade him again, but he was pulled by Gao Qingyi. Gao Qingyi leaned over to Zong Han. He whispered a few words in his ear. Zong Han's face changed and he couldn't help but sigh in secret.
What are the generals in the tent fighting on the battlefield? The great cause of unification is the crown. In the grand scene, what these people really need is power and wealth, and power comes from outstanding achievements, and wealth comes from war and plunder. However, in recent years, the Western Tent Army was blocked by Li Hu in Daibei. They had no record of war and no wealth, and they all had complaints. In contrast, since Zong Wang led his army south, they first swept Youyan and then swept Hebei.
Even the soldiers surrounded Bianjing, and now they have been surrounded Bianjing twice, and the city is about to be destroyed. The generals of the Eastern Tent need to be successful and wealthy. If they take Bianjing this time, they will make a lot of money. The generals of the Western Tent finally got a chance to make both achievements and make money. They suddenly wanted to withdraw their troops and return empty-handed. Who would like to agree? Which one can agree? The generals of the Eastern Tent have long planned how much wealth they would rob and how many women they would rob after entering the city. They woke up laughing in their dreams all night. Is it possible that you tell them to retreat at this time?
Of course, Zong Wang was unwilling to withdraw his troops, not only because he wanted merit and wealth, nor because he wanted to take the opportunity to attack Zong Han and the Western Tent. But based on the current situation, the Jin army did not need to withdraw quickly. On the contrary, as long as he captured Bian Jing as soon as possible, the entire battle situation would be completely reversed. The same is true for Daibei and Hedong battlefields. If Taiyuan Suo was in a hurry, the main force of the Tiger Lie Army would return to aid, and the crisis on Daibei battlefield would be gone. Similarly, if Daibei battlefield was in a deadlock and the main force of the Tiger Lie Army could not start the situation for a long time, then Taiyuan would be in danger. Therefore, from the analysis of the entire battle situation, the Tiger Lie Army's chances of winning are too small. The Tiger Lie Army not only had to defeat the Jin army in Daibei, but also had to defeat the Jin army before Taiyuan Suo was in a hurry. This was too difficult and could not be completed.
Zong Han no longer insisted. Zong Wang had sufficient reasons, and the proposal to withdraw troops and return to aid was immediately abolished.
Zong Wang returned to the letter to the Marshal of Yanjing, informed him in detail of the reason for not withdrawing the troops, and asked Zong Han to sign. Zong Han refused. Although he no longer insisted on withdrawing the troops and was willing to continue to fight on the Central Plains battlefield, he was unwilling to bear the responsibility for failure. Once this battle was defeated, the Western Treasures suffered a heavy blow and his status would be in danger. He did not want to ruin his future because of this.
Zong Wang understood Zong Han's thoughts and did not make things difficult for him. He just laughed it off. Since you can take the overall situation into consideration and stay, there is no need for me to get involved with you in these small matters, so you can keep your opinion.
Zong Han reported to Yanjing Marshal's Mansion and Huanglong Mansion overnight, presenting the reasons for withdrawing troops from Hebei and rescuing Daibei, hoping that the Marshal's Mansion or Huanglong Mansion could order the withdrawal of troops as quickly as possible.
In order to save the crisis, Zong Han offered advice to the Marshal of Yanjing and begged Wanyan Gao to agree to lead his army to retreat back to Hebei quickly and attack Taiyuan with Wanyan Olu to resolve the danger of the north. Now Zong Wang has strong troops and has the help of the Southeast Song court. Li Hu's army in the Central Plains is vulnerable. His tens of thousands of troops in the Central Plains would have no big impact on the entire Central Plains war situation. On the contrary, if he was transferred to attack Taiyuan, it would have a decisive impact.
Gao Qingyi was very unaware of Zong Han's insistence, "Deputy Commander, since you are willing to stay, why do you still write this memorial? If Zong Wang wins in the end and the Jin army wins all over the board, you will suffer a lot because of this memorial and your status is also in danger."
"The reason I am willing to stay is purely to take into account the overall situation." Zong Han smiled bitterly, "If Zong Wang and I break up, and now lead the army to retreat to Hebei, which will lead the army to chaos, how can we fight the Central Plains war? Who is Li Hu, do you know, how can he miss our chance of internal strife? The reason I wrote this memorial is because I have a premonition that something will happen in Daibei. Once Pu's family and Lou Shi defeated Daibei and lost Daibei, do you know what the result will be? At that time, my memorial can not only save myself, but also save the entire Western tent."
Gao Qingyi couldn't figure it out, but he really couldn't figure it out, "Deputy coach, why do you think something will happen to us in Daibei?"
"Do you believe Li Hu will abandon Taiyuan and disregard all the main forces to Daibei for battle?" Zong Han asked.
Gao Qingyi shook his head, "How is it possible? He is not an idiot? Don't he know that Taiyuan was lost, even if he won a battle in Daibei, he would be defeated?"
"You don't believe it, right?" Zong Han asked, "You all think that Li Hu did not transfer all the main forces to Daibei. He is a plan to surround Wei and save Zhao, and wants to force us to withdraw from the Central Plains, right?"
"Yes, I think Zong Wang insists on not withdrawing his troops, and this is why." Gao Qingyi said, "Although the Marshal's Office tends to withdraw troops, he sent Olu to attack Taiyuan, which is obviously hesitant, and this is the reason."
"But I believe that Li Hu will transfer all the main forces to Daibei to fight." Zong Han said, "If I were Li Hu, I would do this. As long as I take back Daibei, the world will be mine. This temptation is too great, and I will definitely bet. Li Hu has always been a gambler and has been on the brink of danger. He can have the strength today because he dares to bet. He has nothing, he can afford to lose, and others dare not gamble or lose. This is why Li Hu wins repeatedly."
Gao Qingyi suddenly thought of something, and his face changed suddenly, "If the Pu family's submission is the same as Zong Wang's idea and he thinks that Li Hu dare not take a single gamble, then he will inevitably be deceived."
Zong Han nodded, looking sad, "Pu family slave?Pu family slave?Pu family back then
It was his shame and his fatal weakness that the slave had lost a battle in killing Hukou. It was too easy for Li Hu to seduce him into a trap.”
"Why don't you tell Zong Wang? If Daibei is lost, we will inevitably retreat across the board. Once the Taiyuan battlefield suffers another heavy blow, even Youyan and Hebei may lose it again." Gao Qingyi's face looked ugly, and his eyes showed deep fear. He now believed in Zong Han's judgment, because only Zong Han knew Wanyan Yu's most fatal weakness.
"How many people can listen to me calmly now? Zong Wang can't calm down, and others can't do it." Zong Han shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, God has always favored me, Jurchens, and maybe today they are also favored by the Great Jin Kingdom, so that we can continue to create miracles." Tears suddenly burst out from Zong Han's eyes, and his voice trembled, "Pu family slaves, don't be fooled, don't be trapped."
