Chapter 1117 National thieves, military chaos eight

"What? Tens of thousands of iron cavalry and ten thousand talisman flags? Wu, Wu, Wu Hao has come from ancient times!?"

Yelu Yanxi was restless when she was sleeping with the beauty last night. She dreamed that Wu Haogu sent troops to attack Datong City. Her family was defeated and captured. She was captured and was captured and became a king in Kaifeng Prefecture. She ate, drank and had fun all day, and she had no power. This seemed to be a nightmare, right? But at this time, Yelu Yanxi didn't expect that his fate would be worse than a nightmare!

I woke up early in the morning and was still in shock, and bad news came.

I don’t know what’s going on. Tens of thousands of Youzhou troops appeared on the road on the west bank of the Fen River in the south of Taiyuan City!

Why is it the Youzhou Army?

Oh, it was all caused by Wanfuqi.

The Hexi Army also used the Wanfu flag, which was a black Wanfu flag on white background, which was different from the black Wanfu flag on red background of Youzhou Army. However, the Liao people still couldn't tell the difference. They only saw the Wanfu flag and saw a brigade of iron cavalry with one man and two horses passing by the official road on the opposite bank of the Fen River, singing generously and amazingly. I took it for granted that it was Wu Haogu's soldiers coming!

Is this so great?

Wu Haogu's soldiers are full of advantages and disadvantages! The Liao army suffered all the losses under their command, and it was a bloody and tears story.

"Your Majesty," Xiao Fengxian was also afraid, and immediately replied, "It's better to lift the siege of Taiyuan first, retreat to Dongshan, and block the vicinity of going down the village. Then let Xiao Gan go down the village at Sanjiaokou to block the Song army's way north."

The current Taiyuan City is a terrain surrounded by water and mountains. The Fen River to the west and Dongshan to the east. The danger of Dongshan is famous in later generations. Dongshan is not a mountain, but a highland, where you can see Taiyuan. At the foot of Dongshan, in the northeast of Taiyuan City, there is a three-way intersection called Sanjiaokou. If you block Sanjiaokou, the army on Dongshan can retreat to Xinzhou at any time.

Therefore, Xiao Fengxian's deployment can be said to be a complete solution.

The only omission is that it was not Wu Haogu, but Zhang Zhuo and Su Zhihuan's army.

"Okay!" Yelu Yanxi is now too timid and dares not fight head-on with Wu Haogu. He immediately ordered the troops surrounding Taiyuan City to move to Dongshan and Sanjiaokou.

More than 100,000 Liao soldiers, and the hula-la-shaped formation was naturally hidden from the Tong Guan and Cai Anchi who were trapped in Taiyuan City for many days.

"Has the Liao soldiers retreated?"

"I retreated and went to Dongshan... Some reinforcements have arrived! It seems that there are still quite a few, otherwise the Liao soldiers would not have gone to Dongshan!"

"Thank God, the court finally sent troops! Xuanfu, we are the two of us now!"

"I can finally make some contributions to the court and do not disappoint the emperor's favor for our family..."

On the top of Taiyuan City, Tong Guan, who was retreating with Cai Anji, was still having a great dream of spring and autumn! He thought he had made contributions to defending Taiyuan, but he didn't think that he could come from the Song army at all, but the rebels.

The worst thing is that this rebel was hired by him!

"Supervisor Xuan, the vanguards of reinforcements are all horses, with about ten thousand cavalry, and those who walk in front are all armored cavalry!"

A subordinate of Tong Guan, who was wearing a telescope, reported their discoveries loudly.

"It's the Iron Cavalry of Hexi!" Tong Guan smiled, "It was our family who recruited him from Hexi, called the Changsheng Army."

Is he confessing his crime?

"Callant, can we prepare some reward money? Let's take them with us?"

"Okay, okay," Cai Anji escaped from death and was no longer stingy. He immediately agreed, "I have asked someone to prepare 200,000 taels of silver to Xuanfu."

Now that there is even evidence of the crime, Tong Guan can't even wash it even if he jumps into the Fen River!

After about three hours, Zhang Zhuo and Su Zhihuan, who felt inexplicable, had already led 5,000 troops outside Taiyuan City, on the west bank of the Fen River.

At this time, they had already discovered Tong Guan's honor guard on the other side of the river.

"Teacher, is that Tong Guan?"

"It should be right? What does he want to do? So many people, and they are carrying many boxes... Are you going to run away?"

"It's probably going to escape... The Liao soldiers retreated to Dongshan for some reason."

"Teacher, why don't you find a few small boats to pick up Tong Guan? He has been in Shuofang for many years. With him, he might be able to win over Shuofang's army."

"Okay! Just do that."

Tong Guan wanted to hear Zhang Zhuo and Su Zhihuan's words and would turn around and return to the city... Even if he died in Taiyuan, he would not be kidnapped by two traitors. But how could he think of so many tricks from the court and Zheng Juzhong?

So I didn't think much about it. Seeing a boat coming from the other side of the river, I took a few guards and got on the boat by myself, going to the other side of the river to find Lu Qian, Su Zhihuan and Fengming Mountain.

"Zhang Shiwulang? Why are you here?"

As soon as Tong Guan got off the boat, he saw Zhang Zhuo smiling and waiting on the shore, surrounded by a group of Hexi Army knights.

"Uncle, my nephew was anxious when he heard that his uncle was in danger in Taiyuan, so he came to Hedong, thinking about how he would save his uncle from danger."

Zhang Yuan and Tong Guan have a very good relationship, so Zhang Zhuo called Tong Guan by his uncle.

"That's really hard for you." Tong Guan nodded with a smile, "But that's good. Removing the siege of Taiyuan is a great achievement! Shiwulang, you have a bright future!"

"Uncle was joking, how could I have the ability to escape the Taiyuan siege?" Zhang Zhuo said, "I only have ten thousand people, and there are at least 100,000 Liao soldiers besieging Taiyuan. I don't know why they retreated to Dongshan?"

"Only more than ten thousand?" Tong Guan was stunned, "The court did not send reinforcements?"

"Sent," Zhang Zhuo said, "they are all useless mobs. Moreover, there were traitors in the court, who wanted to ced the four routes of Hexi, Shuofang, Anxi and Beiting to give the Khitans in exchange for the Khitans to retreat from Hedong!"

"What!?" Tong Guan was startled, "Whose idea is this? Hexi, can Shuofang cut it just by cutting?"

These two pieces of land do not belong to the court 100%! The court has at most a little shares, so how can it be cedeed?

"That's right!" Zhang Zhuo said, "Hexi is the territory of the Great Educational Group, and Shuofang is shared by your elders and the Gao family (Lingzhou also belongs to Shuofang).. How could the court cede? Why?"

"Shiwulang, you guys now..." Tong Guan looked at Zhang Zhuo, knowing that something was wrong.

"We are going back to Hexi now." Zhang Zhuo said, "It's just passing by Taiyuan. Uncle might as well go with us."

"Go together?" Tong Guan stared at her eyes, "Where to go?"

"Go to Shuofang!" Zhang Zhuo said, "My uncle still has many old friends in Shuofang. He happened to stand up together to denounce the traitors and defend the country!"

This is to ask Tong Guan to engage in separatist rule in Shuofang!

How could Tong Guan agree? He wanted to go back to Taiyuan City at that time, but since he had crossed the river, he couldn't help himself. Even if he refused to rebel with him, Shuofang Army would always give him some face. So Tong Guan himself, plus the reward of 200,000 taels of silver, returned to Zhang Zhuo together and headed northwest together in a daze.

When they ran along the Fen River, Cai Anchi, who was in Taiyuan City, didn't know that he was still waiting in his own grain corps to greet the reinforcements. After waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for anything. He sent someone to Tong Guan's Xuanfu Department for inquiries. As a result, the people who came back told him that Xuanfu Department had been in chaos and Tong Guan had abandoned the city and fled.

"What? Tong Guan ran away?" Cai Anji couldn't believe his ears, "How is it possible? All reinforcements are coming..."

"Report to the transport envoy, the reinforcements also ran away..."

"The reinforcements ran away?" Cai Anchi was stunned. What are they doing? Is this a war? First, the Liao people were scared away, but now the reinforcements who rescued Taiyuan City also ran away, and Tong Guan, the Xuanfu envoy who guarded Taiyuan, ran away together.

"The envoy, why don't we run away too!" Cai Anji's aide stepped forward and suggested, "You are the envoy, and you have no responsibility to defend the territory. Tong Guan escaped at the battle and Taiyuan will be trapped. All the sins are his!"

"Didn't the Liao people retreat?" Cai Anchi had not figured out the situation yet.

"The Liao people just retreated temporarily, retreated to Dongshan, and even strangled the Sanjiaokou. If they found that our reinforcements had retreated to the northwest, they would definitely come back. Now that Tong Guan left, the hearts and morale of the people in the city were in chaos. If the transportation envoy did not leave, they would probably fall into the hands of the Liao people."

After hearing this, Cai Anzhi was so stupid. What happened? He clearly got rid of the siege, why did the city fall when he returned? This change was too fast, right?

Also shocked, Yelu Yanxi, who had just climbed up to the East Mountain at noon, received reinforcements from the Song army. Taiyuan City was in chaos and everyone was scrambling to escape. He was also preparing to escape!

It turned out that he felt that he could not fight with Wu Haogu as soon as he went up the mountain, not only because he could not defeat him, but also because he was threatened by Wu Haogu's back. Once Wu Haogu sent troops to Datong, the Liao army that invaded Hedong would have no way back.

In order to keep his return, his army must not be stranded near Taiyuan. At least retreat to Yanmen, and at most leave troops to guard Xinzhou, which is safer.

But just when he decided to retreat to Yanmen, there was a long rush to report that the Song army's reinforcements retreated northwest along the Fen River, and there was chaos inside and outside Taiyuan City, and there was signs of retreat.

"Wu Haogu's cavalry went northwest? No matter what Taiyuan City?" Yelu Yanxi was a little confused.

What does Wu Haogu want to do? Do you want to drive the cavalry to Linfu Road and then encircle Datong from Linfu Road? This circle is too big, right?

"Your Majesty," Xiao Gan, who was summoned to the East Mountain, reported at this time, "Taiyuan is a strong city, and it will always be beneficial if it can be held in our hands."

This is true!

Yelu Yanxi nodded, and Xiao Gan said again: "After we get the Taiyuan City, our army will only have 10,000 troops stationed in Taiyuan City, 3,000 troops stationed on the Dongshan Mountain and 3,000 troops stationed at Sanjiaokou. We will be able to hold the capital of Hedong firmly in our hands! Your Majesty's soldiers can retreat to Xinzhou, Yanmen and other important places. In this way, our army will have a victorious position in Hedong, with a high-level view, can attack and defend, and will be invincible!"

"Okay! What an invincible one!" Yelu Yanxi stroked his hands, "I want to see what Wu Haogu can do to break my invincible place!"
