Wu Dalang: I really don't want to be an emperor

Chapter 36 The Ambush

"Kill!"

With the appearance of the Liao army, with the camp as the center, countless Liao soldiers appeared on horseback and rushed towards the Song army.

"retreat!"

At this moment, Tong Guan had already panicked.

The beautiful fantasy in my heart collapsed in an instant, replaced by fear and panic.

After giving the order to retreat, Tong Guan would not care about the life and death of the army, so he ran away by himself.

Abandoning the 40-strong army, they screamed in despair in the enemy's ambush.

"The commander-in-chief has run away, let's run away!"

Already under the ambush, Song Jun's morale was already low.

Tong Guan ran away first, and the Song army's formation suddenly became chaotic.

Countless soldiers fled for their lives one after another, and the front line collapsed instantly.

"Mr. Wu, you're still smart. It's done early in the morning. Tong Guan will lead the army to attack the camp."

On the distant hillside, Yelu Liufeng admired Wu Yong very much.

It was Wu's material that Tong Guan would steal the camp tonight, so the Liao army could win such an easy victory.

Shaking his head, Wu Yong said lightly: "The eunuch Tong Guan has no ability to lead troops at all, the only thing he knows is flattery, in order to make meritorious service, he will do no matter how stupid things are."

"What you said really makes sense. We pretended to attack Xiongzhou for a few days, and Tong Guan really thought we were afraid of him. If it wasn't for worrying that we would not be able to wipe out the Song army, this king would not be able to use tricks against him."

Yelu Liufeng looked at the collapsed Song Jun with disdain.

"These 40 troops are the main force of the Song army. If they are completely wiped out, our army can go straight to Yanmen. Once Yanmen is reached, we can reach Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty."

Wu Yong interrupted Yelu Liufeng's bragging and directly pointed out the key points.

"Such astounding feats were made jointly by Wu Junshi and this king. Once the Song Dynasty is destroyed, we will be the eternal siege of Daliao, and our name will go down in history."

After Wu Yong finished speaking, Yelu Liufeng sighed excitedly.

At night, the main force of the 40 Song army failed to steal the camp, and instead fell into the trap of the Liao army.

The Song army was defeated, and the Liao army chased and killed them for hundreds of miles.

The 40 army was almost wiped out, and Tong Guan only returned with his body.

After the news reached Bianjing, the whole country was shocked.

Emperor Zhao Ji almost fainted from anger.

Wu Tongguan, who knew that he had made a mistake, did not dare to face the saint, so he had to plead guilty to Zhao Ji with a thorn in his chest.

"Tong Guan, you still have the face to come back, why didn't you die in the Liao army camp with 40 soldiers!"

After seeing Tong Guan, the culprit, Emperor Zhao Ji was aroused again, and directly threw the teacup in his hand at Tong Guan who was kneeling and begging for mercy.

"I don't want to be an official, but the Liao army bullied me into having no one in the Song Dynasty, and even insulted His Majesty as a woman on the spot. I was so angry that I thought of sneak attack on the enemy camp at night, but where did I think of it, where did I think of it... "

Tong Guan didn't dodge the tea cup thrown by Zhao Ji, but faced it directly. He was accurately hit on the forehead, causing blood to flow out.

"Hmph, I didn't expect the entire army to be wiped out!"

Zhao Ji looked at Tong Guan bitterly, and said: "Do you know that after this battle, the Liao army has taken advantage of the situation and captured Xiongzhou, and it is approaching Yanmen. My Song Dynasty has already lost its country."

"The humble minister deserves death!"

Regardless of the bleeding on his forehead, Tong Guan knelt down at Zhao Ji's feet, crying bitterly.

"Okay, you made such a big mistake, you can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape the death penalty. Temporarily dismiss you from the post of privy envoy and demote you to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, are you convinced?"

Looking at the blood on Tong Guan's head, and thinking that Tong Guan was trying not to be humiliated, Zhao Ji felt soft for no reason and let him go.

"The guilty minister is grateful for the grace of not killing the official family, long live the official family, long live, long live!"

Tong Guan was overjoyed that Zhao Ji didn't kill himself and retained the position of Minister of War, and immediately thanked Zhao Ji.

"get out!"

Ever since Tong Guan was defeated, Zhao Ji was in a bad mood and scolded directly.

"Yes."

Tong Guansheng was afraid that Zhao Ji would punish him, so he didn't dare to stay in the palace for a long time, so he quickly retreated.

"What should I do? The 40 army has been wiped out, and the Liao army has already arrived at Yanmen. Is it true that the Song Dynasty is really about to perish?"

When Zhao Ji thought that he would become the king of his country, he looked up to the sky and sighed.

"By the way, I still have Wuzhi here! To put down the bandits in Liangshan, he has always used soldiers like a god. Maybe he has the ability to stop the Liao army."

After thinking about it, at the most critical moment, Zhao Ji can only pin his hopes on Wu Zhi.

Without hesitation, he immediately issued an imperial decree and ordered the servants to deliver the decree.

"The humble minister Wu Zhi pays his respects to Your Majesty."

The news that Tong Guan's army was defeated and the 40 troops were wiped out reached Wu Zhi's ears early in the morning.

As soon as Zhao Ji's imperial decree arrived, Wu Zhi just glanced at it casually, followed the servants into the palace, and met Zhao Ji.

"Wu Aiqing, do you know about Tong Guan's defeat?"

Seeing Wu Zhi, Zhao Ji didn't have any hidden thoughts, and directly pointed out the theme.

"The minister has heard a little bit..."

After hearing Zhao Ji's words, Wu Zhi nodded.

Now that Tong Guanbing was defeated, it was naturally his turn to make a move.

"Wu Zhi will never frown as long as the official orders him, even if he is going up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of ​​fire."

Wu Zhi naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Ji's words, and immediately opened his mouth.

"Okay, I sure didn't misread you!"

Seeing that Wu Zhi not only did not retreat in the critical moment, but actually stepped forward and took the initiative to take command, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be very happy.

At the same time, I regretted it in my heart.

If he had known that Tong Guan was so useless, no matter what, he should have sent Wu Zhi to lead the army.

"Wu Aiqing listened to the letter, I see you as a great general, you can build a mansion, build a government, and form an army. From now on, you should recruit brave soldiers to meet the Liao army.

"Yes, follow the orders of the officials!"

Wu Zhi took over the position very happily.

Then he resigned to Zhao Ji and left the palace.

Wuzhi himself had the positions of Taiwei and Dianshuai, and now he has been named a general, with more power than before, and the ability to influence the government.

It is precisely because the Liao army captured the entire territory of Xiongzhou, Wuzhi didn't stay for long, and the recruitment order and recruitment order were launched that night.

In one day and one night, a total of [-] troops were received.

Together with the [-] old subordinates of the Forbidden Army, there is a total of [-] troops.

Apart from the [-] recruits recruited, Wuzhi was most pleased with the recruitment of three generals.

They are Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi respectively.

In addition, Yue Fei, who had joined Wuzhi one step earlier, became the four ZTE generals who resounded throughout the Southern Song Dynasty.

After he had soldiers and generals, Wu Zhi had no intention of staying.

In the eyes of Song Huizong Zhao Ji, he swore to his teacher and left, killing to the north.

After the Liao army wiped out 40 Song troops, they attacked the city and pulled out the village all the way, and harvested the land of Xiongzhou.

As the Liao army went south again, Wu Zhi raised his army to go north, and the two met at Yanmen Pass.

The difference is that one is inside the city and the other is outside the city.

The two started a long confrontation around Yanmen Pass.
