Late at night on the 18th, Wanyan Gao received a letter from Zong Wang and Zong Han...

Zong Wang insisted on conquering Bianjing, and he believed that he could definitely take down Bianjing within this month, and then sweep Guanluo and occupy the Yellow River Basin. If this goal could be achieved, the Great Jin Kingdom would be the best in the world, and the unification of China and foreign countries was just around the corner. This temptation was too great, and Wanyan Gao could not refuse it.

Zong Han did not insist on withdrawing his troops, but he obviously opposed continuing to attack Bianjing, which can be seen from his own memorial. In addition, his analysis and judgment of the situation in the Daibei War coincided with the Marshal's Mansion. He also believed that the purpose of the Huli Army's attack on Juyongguan was not to force the Jin army to return to aid in the Central Plains, but to occupy Daibei, thereby giving the Jin army a fatal blow.

On the fifteenth day, Wanyan Gao wrote to Zong Wang and Zong Han, asking them to be sure to mobilize an army north to attack Taiyuan. Zong Han also made the same request, but judging from Zong Wang and Zong Han's letters, Zong Han took the overall situation into consideration and followed Zong Wang in decision-making, which shows that Zong Han had no absolute confidence in his judgment. The current development of the northern war situation in the era has confirmed that Zong Han's guess is very correct, but Zong Han's request is to withdraw from the Central Plains, and then he led the Western Tent Army to join Wanyan Olu to attack Taiyuan. In this way, Zong Wang and Zong Han will inevitably have conflicts.

Wanyan Gao invited Yelu Yidu, and the two discussed how to send Zong Han and Zong Wang to reply.

"Zong Wang said that he will definitely be able to go to Bianjing this month, and he will not withdraw his troops; Zong Han hopes to withdraw his troops and plans to personally lead his troops to attack Taiyuan; the order issued by the Marshal's Office on the 15th was to transfer an army north to support Wanyan Olu to attack Taiyuan, so as to force the Baibei Tigers' Filipino army to return to the aid." Wanyan Gao frowned and sighed, "Zong Wang and Zong Han must compromise with each other for the sake of the overall situation, that is, Zong Wang continues to attack Bianjing, and Zong Han mobilizes a part of the army north to attack Taiyuan, but from the situation in Daibei, the situation is very critical. I have 30,000 yuan.

The army failed to conquer the key pass of Beiguan when it came to Juyong Pass. It can be seen that the Tiger Lie Army must have fought fiercely with Wanyan Yu and Wanyan Loushi in Fengshengzhou. There are 100,000 Jin troops in Daibei, more than 30,000 of which are Wugu, Neli, Shiwei and Louling Fan troops, and more than 30,000 surrendered to the Liao army. In other words, there are only more than 30,000 people who are truly determined to work hard for the Great Jin Kingdom. If the main forces of the Tiger Lie Army are all on the Daibei battlefield, there will be at least 200,000. More than 200,000 troops will face the 30,000 real Jin warriors, and the outcome will be clear at a glance."

Yelu Yidu's face was a little pale. You could even see a little panic in his eyes. He was a Khitan, and he was the deputy left behind in Shangjing. After surrendering to the Jurchens, he was highly valued. In recent years, the Jurchens were defeated, and the Great Liao Kingdom was defeated, so he had nothing to do.

I had the idea of ​​it, and I honestly work hard for the Jurchens and continue to enjoy wealth and glory. However, if this battle is defeated, the power struggle in Huanglong Mansion will inevitably become more complicated. As the marshal of the capital, Wanyan Gao must take responsibility and be implicated, and he will be sad in the future.

Yelu Yidu shook his head, threw away all the messy thoughts, took Zong Wang, and Zong Han's letter for a long time, and finally said flatly: "Retract the troops, immediately order Zong Wang, Zong Han to withdraw the troops, and then ask Zong Han to lead the troops to attack Taiyuan and Zong Wang to guard Hebei. In this way, even if something happens in Daibei, we still have a chance to take them back."

Wanyan Gao understood Yelu Yidu's meaning. The two armies of Zonghan and Wanyan Olu had a combined 100,000 troops, which was enough to defeat Taiyuan. At this time, even if the Daibei Jin army was defeated, the Tiger Lieutenant Army was unable to sweep Daibei and could only quickly return to Taiyuan. Zong Wang could take the opportunity to go north from Juyongguan to meet Wanyan Yu and then take back Fengshengzhou. This is a conservative strategy. First, no matter how the Daibei battlefield was fighting, first attack Taiyuan with all its strength, take back the initiative on the battlefield, and then protect Daibei.

"Give up Bianjing?" Wanyan Gao was very unwilling to accept it. Although he knew that once the Daibei Jin army fought with the main force of the Tiger Lie Army, there was little chance of victory, Wanyan Yu and Wanyan Loushi also knew about this situation.

They may not have fought a decisive battle with the Tiger and Lieutenant Army. They would also guess that a series of decisions made by the Marshal's Office, such as the mobilization of troops to attack Taiyuan, may stick to the front line of Baishui and Yuanyang, waiting for reinforcements and waiting for the best opportunity to regain Fengshengzhou. As long as the main force of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army returns to Taiyuan, they can recover Fengshengzhou. If the situation in the Northern War develops like this, then it would be wrong to rush to order the withdrawal of troops from the Central Plains, and they missed the opportunity to capture Bianjing.

Wanyan Gao explained his thoughts, and he suggested drawing 50,000 troops from Central Plains to attack Taiyuan.

Yelu Yi didn't dare to speak anymore. Wanyan Gao's decision first started with the needs of the power struggle of Huang Longfu. If Wu Qimai wanted to gain greater power, Wanyan Gao would first have military achievements to ascend to the position of deputy governor of the Crown. The conquering Bianjing and unifying the Yellow River Basin was the greatest military achievement, which was a great achievement. Therefore, Wanyan Gao always held a little lucky mentality and was worried about gains and losses. In the end, he still couldn't bear to leave Bianjing, was unable to bear to make great achievements, and was unable to leave his position as deputy governor of the Crown.

From Wanyan Gao's mind and principles, withdrawing troops from the Central Plains is obviously a downside. Once the situation of the Northern War was not as bad as expected, then his hastily ordered the withdrawal of troops from the Central Plains to become his fault and the best reason for his opponent to attack him. Perhaps he will lose the opportunity to win the title of Chief Secretary and lead to Huanglong Mansion.

The power struggle is even more intense.

"What about your opinion?" Wanyan Gao saw Yelu Yidu lowering his head and pondering for a while, and then asked.

Yelu Yidu hesitated for a long time and decided to follow Wanyan Gao's wishes. God has been favoring the Jurchens, and Wanyan Gao may be able to overcome this difficulty.

"Li Hu led his army to attack continuously. Although he was defeated repeatedly, he fought repeatedly and was extremely tenacious. If 50,000 troops were drawn from the Central Plains battlefield to attack Taiyuan, then there would be fewer troops to attack Bianjing, which would inevitably affect the situation of the Central Plains." Yelu Yidu said, "If he drew 50,000 troops from the Central Plains battlefield to attack Taiyuan, it would be better to draw 10,000 troops from Yanjing to Juyongguan nearby, forming a force of attacking north and south with the Daibei army, thus forcing the Tiger Lie Army to withdraw from Fengshengzhou." After a moment of pause, he said again, "The army in western Liaoning has arrived in Jizhou, and it is still four days away from Juyongguan. When they arrive at Juyongguan, Juyongguan will have more than 50,000 troops, which is enough to capture Beiguan."

"Do you mean to follow our fifteenth-day decision?"

Yelu Yidu nodded, "If

The marshal must mobilize troops from the Central Plains battlefield to attack Taiyuan. I think 30,000 people are enough, because even if we fight, if the main force of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army is released, we still cannot defend it. The purpose of attacking Taiyuan is to surround Wei and save Zhao, so there is enough advantage in military strength."

Wanyan Gao pondered and said nothing. He couldn't contact Wanyan Yu now and could not know how the situation of the Daibei War was developing. If it was developed according to the worst situation and Wanyan Yu retreated Yuanyang, how could he remedy it? He could only remedy it from the Taiyuan battlefield. If Zong Wang seized Bianjing as scheduled and killed Luoyang directly, he could also remedy it in the Central Plains battlefield.

"Okay, I'll send a letter to Zong Wang, Zong Han, explain our considerations about the entire battle situation clearly. Please ask Zong Wang to continue to attack Bian Jing, and ask Zong Han to lead 30,000 main forces to attack Taiyuan. The speed must be fast." Wanyan Gao made the final decision, "See a way to send scouts into Fengshengzhou and contact Wanyan Yu and Wanyan Loushi to tell them that Yanjing is not worried, please save their strength, and do not fight the main forces of the Tiger Lie Army for the time being, and wait for the Taiyuan battlefield and the Central Plains battlefield to achieve results. After the situation is beneficial to our army, try to regain Fengshengzhou."

At the early morning of the 19th, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army launched an attack on the Jin army.

The Jin army fought for six days on Qingpi Road, and then withdrew for three days and walked for a rush of more than 400 miles. The fierce battle a few hours ago was even more thrilling, and tens of thousands of soldiers were exhausted.

The main force of the Tiger Lie Army was on the ninth day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 1

Luo Qinghan did not give the Jin army time to rest at all. The encirclement was completed. After the army entered the combat position, they immediately started attacking.

Wanyan Yu concentrated his army in a hilly area about five miles away. The area is high and undulating, and is not suitable for horse battles. However, the Jin army's horses can form a horse formation and effectively block the attack of the Tiger Lie Army. Wanyan Yu's purpose is to drag and drag it to Wanyan Loushi for rescue, and then the two armies attacked and opened Duanyun Ridge, retreated to the Deep-Asc Fort or directly retreated Yuanyang Ridge, and preserved their strength first. As long as the 100,000 troops are in hand, Daibei cannot be lost, but if the army is finished, Daibei will definitely be lost. Wanyan Yu regrets attacking rashly now. If he had known that the Tiger Lie Army would ambush him in Duanyun Ridge, it would be better to stay in Deep-Asc Fort and wait for Wanyan Loushi,

Then the two armies will attack south again.

Wanyan Yu's idea was indeed good, but unfortunately Luo Qinghan did not give him a chance. Luo Qinghan asked the army to attack fiercely in the night to squeeze the Jin army to the limit. After dawn, they covered it with arrow formations, used stone throwers, and firearms to attack wildly, and forced them to surrender. There were not many real Jurchens in this Jin army, most of which were Han and Fanren people in Daibei and Yunzhong, that is, the troops of the Liao Kingdom Southwest Road and the Zhaoyaosi and Xijing Road in the past, and some were the Fans at the collapsed ridge. These troops were not the same as the Jurchens, and they would definitely surrender when they reached the critical moment of life and death.

The Khitans dismounted and fought, and the Bohai people also dismounted and fought. The Black Mountain Army, the Resentful Army, the Shenlong Army, and the Thunder Army all entered the battlefield and started a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Jin army in the hills and woods.

The Jin people were too tired, their morale was too low, and their morale was extremely dispersed. They were no match for the Tiger and Lieutenant Army and retreated one after another.

It was around four o'clock in the morning and it was dawn.
