Chapter 534

So many prisoners of war were sent back suddenly, and they were all more prestigious in the Xia army, some of which were the Western Xia nobles. This noble is slightly different from the nobles of the Central Plains dynasty. Not only are there real nobles, but also some direct relatives or descendants of the patriarchs of major tribes, as well as some generals in the army.

Everyone dared not stop him, but someone quickly reported to Liang Yi.

Liang Yi was also confused, why did the Song Dynasty release these people together?

He had this idea because these people were mainly prisoners of war from Yele Town, Qingzhou City and Malingchuan. In these three battlefields, Xixia was one-sided, and the Xia army did not go deeper after the war, so cleaning the battlefield had nothing to do with the Xia army. Liang Yi was not sure whether those generals were killed in battle or were captured.

But after these people identified it, one of them spoke, and they spoke together. Less than one-quarter of the prisoners of war who were truly stubborn and did not surrender. In fact, they were all released.

How could Liang Yi bury the very few "loyal ministers and martyrs" know?

He immediately summoned these prisoners of war together, and there were quite a few people, and there were nearly two hundred people here alone. Liang Yibang asked about the incident.

Because there was a buffer time, the prisoners of war also found out that Song Ji was indeed back and continued to plan for Liang Yi. Song Ji had nothing to do, what else did they have to do?

So they answered one by one, basically according to what Wang An taught them.

≥Chang≥Feng≥Wen≥Study,@◇√t is still the same reply. Xixia cannot win at all, but Wang Ju doesn’t want to fight, so he asked these people to come back and persuade Xixia to withdraw his troops. But there is one difference, that is, Wang Ju didn’t guarantee anything this time.

The other three are different. The first is that more than 90,000 Song troops participated in the war. It was the same as Song Ji said. The second is unexpected. But the Song Dynasty learned in advance, and the same is true. The difference is the third,

Song Ji said that the Liao Kingdom dispatched troops from the desert and pressed against the mountain, and they might soon be on the Fulin Road or Hedong Road. However, the statement of these prisoners of war was that Wang Ju said that the Liao Kingdom could not be so stupid and would not send troops to help, but just perfunctory Xixia. It is easy to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.

However, this difference will cause completely different results. Song Ji shouted sharply: "You lie! General, they all became spies of the Song Dynasty."

"You are the spy of the Song Dynasty."

"You killed so many soldiers."

These people are also distinguished, but some of them do have certain backgrounds. Who is afraid of whom? At least so many of us will not be afraid of you, Song Ji.

"No quarrel is allowed, you can go down and rest together." Liang Yimai said with a gloomy face.

He received the news that Dong Wen attacked Hexi before Wang Ju. The Song army dispatched Tiandu Mountain and burned Tiandu Village and the palace, but he received the news later than Wang Ju. But he received the news just now. However, no matter how you look at it in China, you have not received any feedback.

At this time, he was in a bad mood.

Just when he was depressed, Rendoring came over on a horse.

There are differences in the release of prisoners of war. The prisoners of war from Renduolingding were released first, and then Liang Yi buried the prisoners of war under Liang Yongneng's tent. Renduolingding didn't pay attention, but he just paid attention, and guessed that it was caused by the distance.

He walked in and said, "Liang Prime Minister, Song Dingmei is lying."

"I don't have them. They were these people who were bought by the Song Dynasty, and then the boy was released and deceived people." Song Ji said in a cunning way.

"Yes, that boy has no good intentions to release them, so he has no good intentions to release you. I will only ask you one thing, after the Liao Kingdom sent troops to the mountain, the Song army had more than 90,000 troops, and where did the private salt merchants find out that we were going to send troops to Qingzhou. Did that boy tell you, or did you find out?"

Renduolingding also knew that Song Ji was Liang Yi's confidant, and even the death of Dora's death was mostly related to Song Ji. However, for the sake of the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops, Song Ji had to be punished.

"General Rendow, what do you mean?"

"I hope you tell the truth, otherwise hundreds of thousands of troops will be ruined by your lying."

"I'm telling the truth."

"really?"

"really."

"Prime Minister, the Song people released a group of people under your tent. They used to send troops to Qingzhou City with Song Dingmi. Can I summon me to ask?"

"Renduoling Ding, just say anything."

"The enemy also released nearly a hundred people. When I returned to my tent, I summoned them to inquire and found that they were similar to what Song Dingmei said, and the difference was whether the Liao Kingdom sent troops."

"I'm not lying."

"Song Dingmi, you didn't lie about this. The key is these three messages, where did you get them."

"Say!" Liang Yimeng shouted, and he also realized that something was wrong.

"I know the passage if you don't say it. That day, you sent troops to Qingzhou, and I sent someone to escort grain. The grain escort officers stayed in your camp that night. Then you fled regardless of the three armies, and two of them also fled with you. Then they were captured by the Song army. The boy from the security guard looked at you and said, taking you back to Qingzhou City and locking them up in the prison. Then he led the three armies to kill Yele Town. Just so happened that the two grain escort officers and some other generals were also locked in the prison. On the way, you were so scared that you trembled all over and didn't say a word to the Song army. The others were also afraid and did not dare to talk to the Song army. Where did you learn the news? Could it be that they knew so much insider from the prison guards?"

Even if there are prison soldiers, it is impossible. There are only dozens of prison cells in Qingzhou, and so many prisoners of war are locked up. That cell is not full. If you check it carefully, you can still find out whether Song Ji asked about the prison soldiers.

Song Ji's face was ashamed.

"Song Dingmi, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. One was what you inquired about, and the other was what the security guards deliberately told you. The nature is different. Do you understand? This is not the time when you can lie!"

"Rendu, can you explain it clearly?"

"The great prime minister, there is a reason why Wang Ju is so relaxed. He is expressing his weakness in order to prevent us from withdrawing troops from Qingzhou. But if we do not withdraw troops, what can we do with the Song people? Look at where Yonghe Village is, and then look at the Rouyuan Village. As long as the Song people are determined to defend. Not to mention Qingzhou City, we are not easy to conquer even ordinary forts. But if we drag down, our food and grass are getting more and more tense. It is precisely because of this drag that the main force is dragged in Qingzhou, and Dong Wen is now easily plundering in Hexi."

"General Rendo, continue."

"Even he has calculated it. When we saw his peace agreement, we were unwilling to retreat, so we would start from other aspects to find a solution. Then we could only transfer cavalry from Tiandu Mountain. Just make Tiandu Mountain empty, and then use his relationship with Cai Ting to let Cai Ting send troops to Tiandu Mountain. This is not what I am worried about. The food is getting more and more tense. When there is really no food or grass in my hand, if we retreat, the three armies will inevitably panic. Also, since that kid can let Cai Ting send troops to Tiandu Mountain, why can't Hedong Road join forces with the officers and soldiers of the Prefecture and Yanzhou to send troops to Yinzhou Xiazhou. Once the two states are broken, hundreds of thousands of troops are out of control here, and our Daxia is in danger."

It would not be as easy as Ren Duolingding said. Cai Ting attacked Tiandu Mountain in surprise, and the importance of it is strange. Now the Song Dynasty wants to plot against the Yinxia states. Both cities have tall walls, which is so easy to break.

Moreover, after Zhong Yan worked it out, the people were in trouble, and coupled with the consumption of this battle, the Song Dynasty did not support the war as the scale of the war became larger and larger.

"Also, Song Ding was very despised by the country and asked the prime minister to behead the army to calm the morale of the army. If he told the truth at the beginning, we got all the things that the boy told him, then we can still consider carefully and not let the situation worsen to this point, and even withdrew troops in advance, and there would be no loss in Tiandu Mountain."

"That Liao Kingdom..."

"The Liao Kingdom cannot send troops. If they really sent troops, several days passed and the scouts would have been able to come back to report the news. It was precisely because they did not send troops that the scouts continued to inquire in Liao territory and were reluctant to let it go, which delayed the time."

"But why did that kid release so many people?"

"It's a mystery, maybe they hope we will continue to delay."

"withdraw troops?"

"Retreat immediately."

"What should I do with Wang Zangbu?"

"I also thought on the way that due to the pressure of the terrain, our army had the advantage in numbers, but could not put all its forces into the attack. The outside of Yonghe Village was not Rouyuan Village, but it was better than Rouyuan Village. Besides, I heard news from the front line that the Song army besieged Wang Zangbu only had 10,000 troops, so where were more than 10,000 people under Wang Ju Treasure? Also, if the siege of Wang Zangbu cannot be solved tomorrow, as long as the Song army shouted, the three armies were depressed, they would surrender one after another."

Speaking of this, Renduo is extremely miserable.

Although Xixia still has a lot of troops in its hands, most of them are cavalry, they are fighting like this.

Liang Yi was also tragic. He also heard about the situation in Yonghe Village. Even if he killed horses and got meat tomorrow, would he eat raw meat?

"So I will gather the three armies of Huai'an Town and rushed to the Xigu Fort overnight, and even Yonghe Village. I will attack for one day tomorrow. If I can save it, I will rescue it. If I cannot save it, I will retreat from Malingchuan the day after tomorrow. As for you, the Grand Prime Minister, immediately let the officers and soldiers of the Donggu Fort retreat to Rouyuan Village overnight and retreat from the Xinjiang Fort tomorrow morning. This matter cannot be delayed. The boy still has some movable troops under the tent, and they use the skateboard, which is faster than the cavalry. If you are not careful, even if you retreat, you will suffer a large number of casualties."

Moreover, the road in Anjiang Fort is small. If you retreat from the road in Anjiang Fort, you will have to retreat to that day.

Therefore, Renduo divided his troops to retreat.

Of course, he was also lucky. What if he could rescue Wang Zangbu, after all, there were more than 10,000 soldiers. If there weren't such heavy casualties in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that more than 10,000 soldiers would have been lost, it would have hurt to death.

However, Ren Duoling Ding also neglected one thing.

These prisoners of war were released and could not release people in the Song Dynasty. They should kill people, and most of them were people with status.

But these people also made an appointment to confess, and no one was allowed to disclose the truth about their confession.

In addition, they made an appointment again. They could not ask about Tiandushan and Dong Fei in front of Liang Yi, otherwise Liang Yi would be suspicious.

But this was a thorn in their hearts, so when they went back to rest, the soldiers around them came to talk, and some of them asked in a vague way.

Only the upper-level generals knew about these two messages, and the soldiers below did not know them. They asked in vain when they asked them. They didn't know them one by one. They asked them where they learned about them, and they dared to say that. Some people were timid and asked about food and grass again. As expected, the food became increasingly tight.

These people just confirmed it, but they were stalemate, and news of repeated defeats came one after another. Some people even feared that the Song army would attack the camp again at night, so they did not dare to sleep. Therefore, the news quickly spread among the three camps.

This has had a more deadly blow to morale.

Liang Yi hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "Just follow the general Renduo's intention."

The three armies ordered the retreat. The first one was Rendaolingding's main force, retreating to Xiguzhai, and then the Xia army under Dongguzhai, retreating to Rouyuan Village. They moved the troops together overnight, otherwise the Song army would be divided and eaten away if they were not done well.

However, they were retreating and getting closer, the news soon reached Gyeongju City.

"Yeah!" Wang Ju clenched his fists and shouted happily.

After so many days, only Zhang Feng knew how much pressure Wang Ju was under.

But in order to stabilize the three armies, Wang Ju would not show it outside, and he looked as if the clouds were light and the sky was high.

Han Jiang whispered around the wood stove: "It's finally a little boy (a little boy, a little boy)."

Wang Jucai is not a child, he is just too happy. (To be continued...)
