Only then did Xin Xingzong realize that the problem was serious. But he was still very calm. He knew very well that the Tiger Lie Army had only a force of more than 100,000 on the battlefield in the Central Plains, and these tens of thousands of people had to deal with the attacks from Hebei, Shandong and Jianghuai at the same time. In other words, the Tiger Lie Army had no advantage in military strength in any direction.

Miao Fu hurried over at this time and asked about the next countermeasures, whether to withdraw from Xiangyi or stay in Peicun, waiting for Zhang Jun and Wang De to meet.

"What does the Tiger Lie Army mean?" Xin Xingzong thought for a long time and suddenly asked, "They want to guard the Yellow River defense line and block the Shandong Jin army in the front line of Jeju and Xingren Prefecture. How many troops do they have to use to attack us?"

"In my opinion, this is the Huli Army's plan to shake the tiger, and I want to scare us away." Miao Fu said dismissively, "We don't want to fight this battle at all, so why not take this opportunity to withdraw our troops."

Xin Xingzong agreed with Miao Fu's suggestion, "There is no way to retreat now. The Tiger and Lieutenant Army attacked us from three sides. If we forcefully retreat, we will definitely be chased by its horse army, which will cause us major casualties."

"Then are you going to stick to the aid of help?"

Xin Xingzong nodded, "Don't retreat for the time being, see what the Tiger Lie Army will do next."

"Wang De and Li Qiong have limited troops and will not come to support him. On the contrary, they will take the opportunity to retreat." Seeing Xin Xingzong's plan to stand firm and wait for assistance, Miao Fu was anxious and hurriedly advised, "Zhang Jun is just a scholar. He has never fought any wars, and he has no experience in commanding such a war. He can't count on him at all. Xin Shuai, for safety reasons, let's retreat."

Xin Xingzong did not agree. The horse army of the Tiger Lie Army was too powerful. Most of his 50,000 troops were recruited recruits. Although these people had fought several battles in the Central Plains, their strength was limited and they had no experience in fighting the horse army. Based on his guess, as long as the Tiger Lie Army rushed over with a huge overwhelming force, the army would most likely be defeated and fled, so he refused to take this risk. He firmly believed that the Tiger Lie Army did not have the strength to surround him and this move was just a threat, and it was not worth worrying.

It was dawn, and Wang Ju received a letter from Song Jiang and learned that Xin Xingzong did not break through. Instead, he held his support and ordered the attack to stop.

Yue Fei's intention was very clear. He wanted to drag the rebels to the battlefield. If he fought too hard, scared the rebels away and retreated early. Then the Shandong Jin army would definitely retreat after receiving the news. Therefore, the attack rhythm of this battle should be flexibly grasped, and the principle is to show the enemy to be weak, drag the rebels to stop them, and do not let them retreat, which will achieve the purpose of the attack.

Wang Ju stopped the attack and hid Wang Dazhong's front army, showing that although he could not fight, he didn't want to give up. He even wanted to shoot a book to Wang De and Li Qiong and talk to two northwestern people.

Wang De was overjoyed and immediately ordered to retreat.

This time, Li Qiong did not dissuade him. Since the Hu Lie Army was determined to drive him away, he would be an idiot if he didn't leave. As for the fate of Xin Xingzong and the 50,000 army, he was not worried. Anyway, the purpose of the Hu Lie Army was to force the Southeast Song army to leave. I think it was not strong enough to surround Xin Xingzong, so Xin Xingzong would definitely be able to break through and intercept and return to Xiangyi safely.

Wang De and Li Qiong hurriedly retreated with the army, making Wang Ju, Liu Xi, Zhang Jun and Wang Dazhong overjoyed.

The development of the battle was completely unexpected. No one expected that this army would retreat quickly regardless of the safety of Xin Xingzong. Once they retreated, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army could concentrate their efforts to surround and kill Xin Xingzong with all their hearts. This battle was probably considered a sure victory.

After Yue Fei received this news, he urgently sued the head commanders of the front-line army, stayed vigilant, and was wary of the main rebels' counterattack, and prevented Xin Xingzong from breaking through suddenly.

On this day, Lin Chong and Han Shizhong continued to retreat and retreated to Dingtao City, the Guangji Army's Government.

Wanyan Talai led his army to pursue him, and he pursued him very quickly. For him, he had to speed up and approach Kaifeng City quickly. In this way, he could use the lack of combat forces on both sides of the Tiger and Lie Army to quickly advance to Kaifeng City when the war was insufficient. The strength of the Southeast Song army was limited and there was no desire to attack. The farther the Jin army was from Kaifeng, the greater the possibility of this army withdrawing in the middle, but when the Jin army got closer and closer to Kaifeng, it could attract more Tiger and Lie Army. This helped the Southeast Song army continue to attack northward, thereby effectively helping the Jin army.

Lin Chong and others did not understand Wanyan Talai's idea, and thought that the Jurchens were arrogant and were very happy to see that the Jurchens were chasing faster and faster, so they urgently reported to Yue Fei.

Later that day, Zhang Jun received a letter from Wang De. At this moment, he had already led his army out of the city. After obtaining the latest development of the war, he was shocked and severely scolded Wang De and Li Qiong, and ordered them to turn around immediately and attack Pei Village, and meet Xin Xingzong at all costs.

Zhang Jun knew that his order had no effect, but could stop Wang De and Li Qiong from retreating, so he accelerated the marching speed.

At noon on the 27th, Zhang Jun, Wang De and Li Qiong met. Zhang Jun ordered to attack Pei Village immediately.

Wang De suggested camping on the spot and fighting again tomorrow, so that the soldiers could rest for one night. Zhang Jun ignored him and ordered him to immediately kill Yuxiang and break through the blockade of the Tiger Lie Army.

Wang De had no choice but to push to the yuxiang, beat the drums and drums and then to make a few more strides. He finally ended until dark, and finally stopped the army and set up camp to rest.

Zhang Jun was furious and asked Wang De and Li Qiong to attack overnight.

"Zhang Xuanfu, in my opinion, don't fight tonight, let them take a break." Lu Yi had to come forward to dissuade him, "Wang De fought for a few hours last night and another hour in the afternoon. The soldiers were tired. If they fought again overnight, they might be defeated by the Tiger Lie Army."

"Xin Xingzong is surrounded and in danger, how can I not save him?" Zhang Jun was very excited, blushed and almost roared.

Lu Yi sneered. When he was in Xiangyi, we advised you not to attack. If you don’t listen, you have to be the dog of the Jin people and listen to the command of the Jin people. What is the result? But this kind of complaint cannot be said, so you can only analyze the battle situation for Zhang Jun patiently. In the end, Lu Yi concluded that the Tiger Lie Army had only so many troops. Now that you are fighting on two battlefields at the same time, it is impossible to surround Xinxingzong, and at most it is to confront Xinxingzong.

Zhang Jun reacted very quickly and immediately realized that he was deceived by Wang De and Li Qiong. In order to cover up the crime of escaping the battle, these two people who were greedy and fearful of death deliberately exaggerated their words and deliberately deceived themselves.

"I can't spare them." Zhang Jun was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "After this battle, I will submit a report to the court and punish him severely."

Lu Yi sighed, not wanting to get entangled with Zhang Jun on this matter. He continued to analyze the situation of the battle, "Xin Xingzong confronted the Hu Lie Army in Pei Village. We are constantly attacking here so as to meet with him as soon as possible. In this way, we are equivalent to helping the Jin army delay a large part of the Hu Lie Army. The most urgent task is to urge the Jin army to speed up the attack speed. As long as Wanyan Talai fights to the city of Kaifeng, the Hu Lie Army will naturally retreat, and our attack purpose will basically be achieved."

Zhang Jun nodded repeatedly and immediately wrote to Wanyan Talan. At the same time, he asked Lu Yi to go to Yuxiang to supervise the battle to ensure that Wang De and Li Qiong fight with all their strength tomorrow.

Late at night that day, Lu Yi arrived at the front line and warned Wang De and Li Qiong not to fight openly and secretly with Zhang Jun. Military generals and civil officials will be in trouble in the end. Now in this world, military generals have no status. If they win the battle, they will be the commander of civil officials. If they lose, they will blame the generals. In short, military generals are the fate, and there is no way to endure it.

Lu Yi went down to rest, but Wang De and Li Qiong couldn't fall asleep. After that, their future was over, and Zhang Jun would definitely not be able to spare them. No matter how hard they worked, the final result would be the same. Either demotion or dismissal from office. If it was not done well, it would be possible to go to jail.

"If we stayed in the northwest, we would be at least a third-rank official now." Li Qiong sighed to the sky, very depressed.

"Third rank? More than 3rd rank? Look at Wang Yuan, they are all left behind in Tokyo now. Which of the boys Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, and Zhang Jun is not the third rank? They are all third-rank officials. You can imagine other people, such as Yang Keshi, Yang Weizhong, Yao Pingzhong, and others, who will destroy Xixia, and such contributions will not only be the third rank in the future?" Wang De looked envious, "Li Hu will become the emperor sooner or later, and Li Hu will become the emperor. These people are founding fathers, and their descendants can enjoy wealth and honor, and we..." His eyes showed despair, and he couldn't continue to feel sad.

"If we lose, if Li Hu unifies the world, we will be traitors." Li Qiong looked at him and sneered, "Are you willing to be a traitor?"

Wang De heard Li Qiong's voiceover, he hesitated for a moment, shook his head, "I have been fighting for life and have countless military achievements. How could I accept such an ending?"

The two of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and their eyes gradually became firmer.

"You have decided?" Li Qiong asked.

Wang De nodded, "Did you send someone overnight?"

Li Qiong thought for a moment, "In extraordinary times, you must make a quick decision, otherwise you will suffer."

Late at night, Wang Ju was thinking about offensive and defensive strategies in the coach's tent. Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and Zhang Jun rushed in, "Ship Wang, someone is coming from the other side."

"Really?" Wang Bi asked in surprise, "Did my letter work?"

"Ship Wang once killed the enemy side by side with Li Qiong, and his robe was deeply in love. Of course, that letter would work." Zhang Jun smiled, "Li Qiong sent someone to come, right outside the tent."

"Please." Wang Ju was quite excited. He never expected Li Qiong to respond so quickly.

The visitor was Li Qiong's confidant, and he was very familiar with Wang Ju. After the two sides met, all the conditions were quickly agreed. Wang De and Li Qiong's conditions were not high, they were just high-ranking officials and generous salaries, which was nothing to Chang'an.

"You go back and tell Shuai Wang and Shuai Li that I will send someone to report to the Yue Dutong overnight and you will get a definite answer tomorrow morning." Wang Ju told the man, "In order to ensure the smooth progress of things, tomorrow's battle must be fought. We can only have a tacit understanding. At this moment, you must not let Zhang Jun be suspicious, so as not to ruin the big thing."
