"In this battle, Li Hu fought against us on three battlefields at the same time with his strong national strength, but we did not have such national strength. We could only gather the main force in the Central Plains and try to succeed in a battle, but we were defeated... We were not defeated by force, but by national strength."

"We were not defeated." This time, even Wanyan's mother couldn't listen. "The situation of the Daibei War is still in a stalemate. Zong Han personally committed suicide to Taiyuan. We have an absolute advantage in the Central Plains. However, because of negligence, Li Hu was just allowed to eat Yelu Yuji and the 30,000 army. What is this defeat? The battle has not ended, and we still have a chance of winning. Why is the deputy general so depressed? Before this, wasn't the deputy general full of confidence? Why did the deputy general's view on the entire battle situation be reversed overnight? Could it be that Li Hu suddenly summoned more than 100,000 army to eat Yelu Yuji?"

Zong Wang smiled bitterly. He could not blame Wanyan Talan, Wanyan? Mother and others could not accept his views. Before this, he had the same ideas as Wanyan Talan and others, but Yelu Yu's defeat made him suddenly wake up. It turned out that the battle was doomed to fail before it even began. No wonder Zong Han insisted on withdrawing his troops after hearing about the accident in Daibei. After all, Zong Han had the clearest view of the general trend of the world, the clearest mind, and the most accurate analysis and judgment of the situation. In comparison, he was still inferior to Zong Han, and it was not that the old emperor was the first to treat him.

It is very favorable. Unfortunately, the death of the old emperor, the Huanglong Mansion split, and Zong Han and himself parted ways, which has caused immeasurable losses to the Great Jin Kingdom.

"Yelu Yu saw the great defeat at Banqiao was the turning point of this battle."

After Wanyan Talan finished speaking, Zong Wang continued to explain, "We always thought that Li Hu had limited troops in the Central Plains and was vulnerable, but suddenly, he assembled more than 100,000 troops. Where did these troops come from? The war in Shaanxi should have ended soon, and the Northwest Army could not have arrived at the Central Plains so quickly. There is only one explanation, national strength, Li Hu relied on his strong national strength to recruit troops to expand his troops in a short period of time, and quickly expanded his army."

"It can be concluded that Taiyuan will definitely have enough defensive troops, otherwise Li Hu would never ignore Taiyuan in this battle that concerns the fate of Middle-earth. In other words, Zong Han and Wanyan Olu have joined forces with 100,000 troops but still cannot conquer Taiyuan. On the contrary, they were dragged to Taiyuan by Li Hu."

"Taiyuan, like Bianjing, is a trap set by Li Hu. Li Hu predicted that Yanjing could not directly rescue Daibei, and transferred the Hebei army to attack Taiyuan nearby. The Hebei army arrived in Taiyuan and was immediately dragged down, but the Huli Army on the Daibei battlefield was obtained.

We spent more time on combat. On the contrary, our troops in the Daibei battlefield were limited and it was difficult to resist the attacks of the main force of the Tiger Lieutenant Army. Yanjing placed his hope of rescue Daibei on attacking Taiyuan. This happened to be Li Hu's treacherous plan, and Daibei might be lost. The later we rescued, the greater the possibility of Daibei being lost."

"The loss of Daibei means we have lost control. The southeastern part of the desert, Wugu, Dili, Shiwei and the collapsed ridge Zhufan will take the opportunity to get rid of our control. When the Zhubu people attacked them, they can choose to form an alliance with us or form an alliance with Li Hu. If we defeated this battle and Li Hu becomes the strongest overlord in Zhongtu, they will inevitably form an alliance with Li Hu, and Li Hu can choose to help the Zhubu people unify the desert or help Wugu and other Fans fight against the Zhubu people. However, no matter which ending, Li Hu's influence on the desert will exceed us, and we will become the target of Li Hu's joint attack with the desert."

When Zong Wang said this, Wanyan Ta, Lan and others' faces changed suddenly. If the situation was as Zong Wang expected, the Great Jin Kingdom was in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

"We have deserts to the north and Li Hu to the south, and they are attacked from both sides. "Zong. I sighed with pain," In addition, our connection with the Dangxiang people was cut off, and the strategy of forming an alliance with the Dangxiang to attack Li Hu will be affected.

to severe impact.”

"On the contrary, after occupying Daibei, Li Hu firmly controlled the situation in the north and formed a restraint on us. At this time, he could sweep the southeast before the Southeast Song Dynasty had formed a force to compete with it. The Southeast is rich and wealthy. If Li Hu got the Southeast, his national strength would double, and we are not an opponent. For time, we can only let him slaughter."

Wanyan Talan and others stopped talking. Zong Wang's analysis made them realize that the current situation was much more serious than they thought.

Zong Fu remained neutral in this debate, but after hearing Zong Wang's words, he immediately made a decision, "Second brother, since Daibei is so important and the situation is so serious, we will listen to you, withdraw our troops quickly and quickly go north to support Daibei."

Zong Bi followed and also expressed his position and supported the withdrawal of troops.

Liu Yanzong and Guo Yaoshi were a firm withdrawal faction, and of course they supported Zong Wang.

Wanyan Talai and Wanyan? The mother is still hesitating. She cannot see the crisis described by Zong Wang at present, and the army is about to conquer Bianjing, so it will be fine soon.

In order to turn the situation around, the withdrawal of troops was a failure and he was unwilling to accept it.

Zong Wang said he was tired and was exhausted, so he slowly closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes again and whispered: "Now the battle situation in the Central Plains is controlled by Li Hu, and we can no longer withdraw our troops calmly. The hasty withdrawal will definitely be defeated by Li Hu, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Wanyan Ta's lazy eyes suddenly widened, his face turned red, and he was full of anger. More than 200,000 troops were here, and if they wanted to retreat, why should Li Hu threaten the safety of the army? Didn't Li Hu wipe out Yelu Yuji at Banqiao? Could it be that this battle destroyed Zong Wang's courage?

"Deputy Commander, this is too alarmist, right?" Wanyan's mother couldn't help but show sarcasm.

Zong Fu sneered, "Yelu Yuji and his 30,000 army are elite Khitans, all of which are war-protected soldiers. Zong Han left him in the Central Plains, and he was attracted by the strength of this army. My second brother let him stand alone in Banqiao, and believed that this army was enough to resist Li Hu, but Li Hu wiped him out overnight, which shows that Li Hu had at least four to five times the force. Li Hu did not have more than one hundred thousand

The army dares to surround Yelu Yujian? We always thought that Li Hu only had tens of thousands of troops, and it was a vulnerable army, but today's result of the Battle of Banqiao made us finally see Li Hu's true strength."

"This cunning thief has been lying to us." Zong Bi said hatefully, "If Yelu Yuji had known that Li Hu had such strength, he would never have fallen into the trap."

"But we have more than 200,000 troops..."

"We don't have so many troops." Liu Yanzong didn't wait for Wanyan's mother to say that, and immediately refuted it. He listed in detail the number of garrison troops in various places in Shandong, Hebei and the recent casualties of each army, and finally came to a conclusion that the current troops on the battlefield in the Central Plains are less than 200,000, of which the Southern Barbarians in Shandong, Hebei and Shandong are less than 70,000, and the troops under the Dongguan account are about 130,000.

Zong Wang's Eastern Tent Army suffered two major casualties. One was in the Battle of Puyang, where more than 40,000 people were killed in the battle of Guo Yaoshi, and the other was in the attack on Bianjing, with more than 50,000 people killed in the battle.

Then Liu Yanzong exhausted the soldiers of the army for a long time. The foreign army had been in Central China for a long time and missed their hometown. The Southern Barbarians were unbearable.

With one blow, Yelu Yu saw the morale sluggish caused by the great defeat... and many other unfavorable examples. Finally, I concluded that such an army will definitely be defeated when it encounters the tiger army that is gathering energy at this moment.

"Li Hu has been planning this war and has been deliberately deceiving us in the Central Plains. This man is vicious and good at using bad tricks behind his back. It is extremely difficult to deal with. If he does not die, it will definitely become the biggest obstacle for us to attack Middle Earth." Liu Yanzong also gritted his teeth when he said that Li Hu. Back then, Li Hu rushed into Yanjing, dug three feet into the ground, and looted all the Han tribes of Youyan. Liu Yanzong's family was the leader of the four major families of Youyan. After robbing Li Hu, he almost lost all his fortune and had a deep hatred for each other.

Wanyan is lazy, Wanyan's mother is completely speechless this time. Although she may not agree with everything in her heart, what Liu Yanzong has brought out is facts and can't find a place to refute.

Zong Wang raised his hand with difficulty and signaled Zong Bi to bring the map over.

"We missed the best opportunity to withdraw. If we retreated in a hurry and Li Hu took the opportunity to attack, the first one to be defeated was the Southern Barbarian Army. The Southern Barbarian Army collapsed and the entire army was in chaos. Li Hu took the opportunity to cover up the killing, and we would definitely be defeated.

.At that time, even if we withdraw back to Hebei, after the main force suffered a severe blow, we must not only defend the Yellow River defense line and quickly support Daibei, but we will definitely lose sight of one thing and the Yellow River defense line will be difficult to defend. Once the Yellow River defense line is lost, Li Hu will rush his army to the north and will inevitably drag all the main forces of our army on the battlefield in Hebei and have no time to support Daibei. The result will be a disaster."

Everyone listened quietly, Wanyan Talan and Wanyan's mother saw that the withdrawal of troops had become a fait accompli, and she no longer got entangled.

"So, we have to consider another more terrible consequence, that is, what should we do if Daibei is lost."

When Zong Wang said this, he was a little excited, breathing rapidly, and his voice began to tremble.

"Daibei is lost, Li Hu's army attacks Youyan from Hebei, and Daibei's Hulien army leaves Juyongguan and directly attacks Yanjing. The situation will inevitably be overturned, and our army is very likely to be unable to support it and retreat to Liaodong. In the long run, the loss of Daibei will greatly restrict the development of our Great Jin Kingdom."

Liu Yanzong and Guo Yaoshi seemed to have seen the most terrifying scene, and looked extremely nervous. Zongfu, Zongbi, Wanyan Talai, Wanyan? The mother disagreed and thought Zong Wang was probably sick.

Because of the intensification of love, it was too pessimistic. Even if the Jin army was defeated and left the Central Plains, they would still be able to defend Hebei and Youyan with ease.

"Therefore, this retreat is not only a retreat, but also a severe attack on Li Hu and prevent Li Hu from crossing the river north, thus ensuring that our Great Jin Kingdom firmly occupies Daibei, Youyan, Hebei and Shandong. As long as we defend Hebei and Shandong, we can restrain Li Hu in the Central Plains, support each other in the Jianghuai and the Southeast Song court, and prevent Li Hu from attacking Jiangnan."

"If Li Hu can't get the Southeast, his strength development will stagnate; with our support, the Southeast can develop rapidly, thus forming a force of attack from the north and the south with us and further curbing Li Hu; and we can obtain the money, food, weapons and other materials needed through the alliance with the Southeast Song court to further develop. In this way, we have gained the initiative in the three-part pattern of the world and have a significant advantage."

Liu Yanzong showed admiration, while Wanyan Talai was impatient. He asked anxiously: "How to severely damage Li Hu?"
