On the 19th, Zong Wang and Zong Han received a letter from the Marshal's Mansion of Yanjing...

The letter was sent from Yanjing on the 15th. Wanyan Gao told them that the Marshal's Office had made a mistake in judging the situation of the Daibei war, and that the real purpose of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army was to capture Daibei.

The development of the Daibei War coincided with Zong Han's judgment, but the Marshal's Office believed that Wanyan Yu and Wanyan Loushi were able to defend Daibei, so Wanyan Gao asked them to immediately send an army north to join Wanyan Olu to attack Taiyuan, thus forcing the main force of the Tiger Lie Army to withdraw from Fengshengzhou.

Zong Han was a little disappointed, but he understood that Wanyan Gao had greater responsibilities and would not order the withdrawal of troops from the Central Plains unless he had no choice. Now if the main force of the Jin army was to withdraw from the Central Plains and do his best to support the Daibei battlefield, unless the Huanglong Mansion issued an imperial edict, it would be difficult for Huanglong Mansion to reach an agreement on this matter. Not to mention that the Huanglong Mansion has many conflicts, even the emperor Wu Qimai himself would not agree to withdraw troops. Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao, Zong Wang wanted to conquer Bianjing. This achievement would bring great benefits. In addition to the Great Jin Dynasty, which could unify the Yellow River Basin, it would be more conducive to the emperor's further control of authority. This temptation was too great that Wu Qimai could not resist.

Zong Wang devoted himself to the battle against Bianjing, he now

He even considered how to attack Luoyang after conquering Bianjing. He admitted that the situation in Daibei was very critical, but equally, for Li Hu, the situation in Taiyuan and Central Plains was also critical. If either of these two places lost, it would push Li Hu and the Huli Army into danger.

"Li Hu is gambling with his wealth and life, and the same is true for us. Whoever wins the bet will be the first to gain the advantage in the three-point pattern in the world." Zong Wang waved his arm and was as imposing as a rainbow. "When today, no one can stop my Jurchen cavalry, we will win this battle."

Zong Han wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Zong Wang, he was full of confidence and firm will, and hesitated for a long time, still closed his mouth. At this time, Zong Wang had only Bian Jing in his eyes, and he could not listen to any objection.

"According to the orders of the marshal, I led my army north to attack and attack Taiyuan." Zong Han said, "I will set off tonight."

Zong Han was very worried about Dai Bei and Li Hu's layout. Cleverly, he deceived everyone after a sudden move. If Dai Bei was a game, then Wanyan Gao was outside the game and he could see through the scam after observing for a while. However, Wanyan Yu and Wanyan Loushi were in the game. They would not be able to see the situation clearly for a while, and they were very likely to fall into the trap. Once they were defeated, the troops on both sides would be over.

With a huge gap, the Jin army would be driven out of Daibei. By then, there would be no more rescue plan, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

The only way now is to gather heavy troops to attack Taiyuan. At this moment, the main force of the Tiger and Li Hu are in Daibei, and Li Hu himself is fighting in the Central Plains. Taiyuan has weak troops, which is the best opportunity to attack it. As long as Taiyuan is captured, the Jin army will immediately control the entire battle situation. Going south can cooperate with Zong Wang's army to fight Guanluo, and going north can be used to attack Datong with the Jin army of Daibei and Youyan. It doesn't matter if Wanyan Yu defeated the battle in advance. Under the attack of the Jin army, the main force of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army can only abandon Datong and defeat Shaanxi. In this way, the Jin army still won and can quickly unify the Yellow River Basin.

To this end, Zong Han proposed to withdraw all 60,000 Western Tent Army and take them all to attack Taiyuan.

Zong Wang immediately objected.

The opponent of the Jin army in the Central Plains battlefield was Li Hu, and Li Hu could only reach a 100,000 army by himself. In addition, more importantly, this battle was arranged by Li Hu. The reason why he commanded the battle in the Central Plains was because the main forces of the Jin army were in the Central Plains, and the dynamics of the Jin army on the Central Plains battlefield would directly affect the victory or defeat of this battle. Therefore, if Zong Han took all the Western Tent Army and the Jin army would withdraw, the Jin army would attack Tai with heavy troops.

The original intention must be exposed, and Li Hu must come up with corresponding countermeasures.

"On the 13th day, Li Hu gathered and formed a large army in Shahe Town. Afterwards, the purpose of attacking was very obvious, which was to restrain my main force. At this time, if you retreated from Banqiao and the flanks of our army were exposed, Li Hu could immediately kill the city of Bianjing. The difficulty of my conquering Bianjing will increase exponentially, and the time for conquering Bianjing will be delayed. Once Li Hu opened up the connection with Bianjing, Bianjing will receive the support of food and weapons, the next battle will be even more difficult."

Zong Wang's eyes were as sharp as a torch, his tone was stern and aggressive, "The Marshal's Office insisted on conquering Bianjing, which shows that this battle should be dominated by conquering Bianjing, and the troops could not be reduced. Wanyan Olu had already begun to attack Taiyuan on the 14th. He had 70,000 troops, and this troops were enough, so I suggest to draw 10,000 troops north to support it, and I think you should stay in the Central Plains, and the Central Plains battlefield needs you even more."

Zong Han shook his head and disagreed, but he did not want to argue with Zong Wang. Zong Wang stayed on the front line day and night to command the battle, and he worked hard, his health was getting worse and worse, and his condition was getting worse. Zong Han really needed to stay, but Zong Han was even more worried about Dai Bei and the overall situation was out of control, so he decided to rush to Taiyuan to command the battle himself.

"Tiger

The martyrs began to attack Fengshengzhou on the ninth day of the 11th, and occupied Juyongbei Pass on the 11th. It has been fighting for ten days so far. The situation of the Daibei battle is definitely not optimistic." Zong Han said, "We made a wrong judgment and slow reaction. This battle is already at a disadvantage. If we want to reverse the situation, we must make a breakthrough from the Taiyuan battlefield. When we go to Taiyuan, the horse army gallops day and night, which will take at least eight days. Eight days later, the Daibei battlefield may have decided the victory and loss, and the main force of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army can also go south to support Taiyuan at any time. At that time, the number of troops will directly determine whether we can take Taiyuan and turn the situation around in one fell swoop."

"Do you think Wanyan Yu can't defend Dai Bei?" Zong Wang asked coldly.

Zong Han smiled bitterly and speechless. After a few arguments, Zong Wang became more and more excited, blushed and coughed more and more violently, as if he was about to tear his lungs. Zong Han couldn't bear it and gave in, "I will lead 30,000 horse troops north and ask Yelu Yuji to lead 30,000 horse infantry troops to stay in Banqiao and continue to confront Li Hu. How about it?"

Zong Wang knew that Zong Han had decided, so he had no choice but to agree.

On April 20th, in the early morning, Li Hu was woken up from his sleep by the wilderness.

"The chief commander and the scouts urgently reported that a large group of Jin troops were crossing the Bian River north."

Li Hu closed his eyes and said in a daze: "Are you changing the defense normally?"

"The scouts are all horse soldiers, and a large amount of food and weapons are placed on the horse's back, so it is obvious that they have to march for a long distance."

Li Hu suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up, "How many people? Is there any movement in Banqiao?"

"It is said that there are tens of thousands of people." Yuanye looked heavy and his tone was very rapid. "The Jin army in the direction of Banqiao is normal, and there are no signs of withdrawal. However, the Jin army crossing the river is only more than twenty miles away from Banqiao. It must be Zong Han's horse army. General Commander-in-Chief. I suspect Zong Han is going north with his army. I don't know whether he will attack Taiyuan or return to Yanjing directly."

Li Hu stared at his eyes and thought for a long time, then fell straight onto the bedding, and said with a smile: "Zong Han is using fraud. Ignore him and ask the scout to continue investigating."

"Make a fraud?" Yuanye blinked in confusion, "Master General, you doubt it

Is this Zong Han’s plan to lure the enemy?”

"If he wants to go north, he must have hidden it from us. How could he make a big fuss?" Li Hu said, "Besides, if the Jin army wants to return to Yanjing, he will withdraw all the troops. If he wants to divide his troops to attack Taiyuan, he will have to draw at least 50,000 or 60,000 troops, so that they can take Taiyuan after they meet Wanyan Olu. If you are Zong Han and Zong Wang, you will naively think that you can capture Taiyuan by taking 100,000 troops? Doesn't I, Li Hu, know that the safety of Taiyuan is related to the outcome of the entire battle?"

Yuanye felt that Li Hu's analysis was reasonable, "So, Zong Han's move may be to lure us to rob his camp. Once we defeated and fled back to Luoyang, the Jin army could divide the troops to chase him. This was too urgent for the plaintiff and Guan Luo was also in a hurry, so we had to withdraw our troops from Daibei." He sighed at this point, "I wonder how Daibei's battle was going? It has been ten days since the attack was launched. If Luo Shuai failed to achieve a decisive victory, the following battle would be difficult."

"Planning is up to people, and success is up to heaven. Don't think too much, just fight the war in the Central Plains well." Li Hu shook his hand indifferently, "Even if we can't win this battle, we will not lose and flee to Guanshan. At worst, we can just waste a lot of money."

Yuanye thought about it, so he laughed and turned around and was about to leave.

"Call the scouts to keep an eye on him." Li Hu shouted at his back, "If Zonghan's horse army crosses the Yellow River, we will attack Banqiao and kill him."

April 20th, early morning, Datong.

Tieying received the news from Zhenchuan Fort, Wanyan Loushi withdrew his troops overnight and was speeding towards Baishui.

"I urgently report to Mr. Luo and tell him that Wanyan Loushi had evacuated Datong late at night on the 19th." Tieying immediately ordered, "I asked Gao Yuan to hurry back to Datong immediately, ask Li Meng to take the Fourth Army of Hu Lie to guard Chuan Fort, and ask Xu Dayan to take the Third Army of Hu Lie to guard Datong. Order Mu Taoli to take the First Army of Hu Lie to set off from Qingpi Road overnight and rushed to Shenjing Fort."

"Tie Shuai, where are we? Are we going to the Deep Well Fort?" Wu Xiong asked anxiously. Tan Hongyi, Wu Chitian and Yang Hua, who were standing beside him, were also anxiously looking at Tie Ying.

Tieying stroked her long beard with her hand and frowned slightly, considering whether to use two armies or three armies to guard Datong.

"TieShip, Luo is in the area of ​​Jiming Mountain at this moment. We are also rushing to Shenjing Fort from Qingpi Road. The two roads from Fengshengzhou to Datong were blocked by us. Datong is foolproof." Wu Xiong was anxious to go to Fengshengzhou to fight. Without waiting for Tieying to make up his mind, he would supervise Tieying and lead the remaining two troops to the battlefield.

"Tie Shuai, I'm going to the Shenjing Fort." Wu Chitian shouted at Tie Ying, "This time I finally caught a chance to surround the Pu family slaves, how could I miss it?"

"What if Wanyan Loushi kills a fight back?" Tie Ying was obviously a little worried. He used two main forces to guard Datong, and his troops were too weak.

"TieSupervisor, the Jin army must regain Fengshengzhou and must open up the connection with Yanjing. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for them to defend Daibei, so I can say with certainty that Pu Family Nu and Wanyan Loushi have no intention of fighting Datong again. They will have to regain Fengshengzhou with all their might." Wu Xiong was anxious and urged Tieying repeatedly, "TieSupervisor, it is enough to leave two armies to guard Datong. Let's go to Shenjing Fort overnight."
