That night, Yue Fei once again adjusted his troops to surround the Shandong Jin army with heavy troops, and at the same time gathered 80,000 troops north of Datun to prepare to block the Hebei Jin army.

Yue Fei wrote to Chang'an and reported the situation of the war. According to his prediction, the battle was probably to be fought until the end of September. For this reason, Yue Fei begged Chang'an to find ways to ensure the continuous supply of food, grass and weapons in the army.

Yue Fei hurriedly wrote Li Hu to the battlefield in Kaifeng in detail. Then, Yue Fei wrote a letter to the Iron Eagle in Datong and Dong Zhongsun of Taiyuan, begging them to attack Hebei immediately to support the battlefield in the Central Plains and help the Tiger and Lieutenant Army of the Central Plains finally win the victory of this battle.

After writing these letters, it was already the early morning of the fourth day of the lunar month. Yue Fei walked out of the handsome tent and sucked a few mouthfuls of the late autumn night wind. He felt sore and exhausted. When he was about to go to rest, he saw Wang Yuan standing by a bonfire in the distance and whispering to several entourages.

Yue Fei walked over. Several entourage saluted respectfully, and then walked to the distance to watch. Wang Yuan asked Yue Fei to sit down and asked with a smile: "Do you know who is the commander of this Hebei Jin army that was wiped out?"

Yue Fei really didn't know about this. He had been writing letters, and Sun Ge, Huang Zong and other subordinates did not disturb him. So he had not seen the detailed report of today's battle until now. Yue Fei was very curious and asked, "Who is so unlucky?"

Wang Yuan laughed out loud, "Wanyan Zongbi, this unlucky person is Wanyan Zongbi."

"Wanyan Zongbi?" Yue Fei was very surprised and asked in surprise, "Where is he? Was he caught by us?"

"No, we heard from the prisoners that the commander of this army was Wanyan Zongbi, and immediately sent someone to search for it, but it was not found." Wang Yuan said, "I sent someone to search for the body again, but I didn't find it. I guess he ran away."

"Can he escape under this situation?" Yue Fei was a little disbelief.

"I've inquired, and there are indeed several teams of troops who broke through the siege." Wang Yuan sighed regretfully, "Even if he didn't escape before dark, he still had a chance to escape after dark. At that time, we had too many troops on the battlefield, and it was a little confused at one point. If Wanyan Zongbi was dressed up with Qiao Zhuang, he should have a chance to escape."

"What a pity." Yue Fei sighed, "If you catch him and take him to the Shandong Jin army, you will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Hebei Jin army."

"The governor is right." Wang Yuan suddenly thought of something and said anxiously, "Tomorrow, we can take these prisoners to the front line. This can also give the Jin army a morale blow."

Yue Fei laughed, "Since that's the case, then you will take the prisoners to scare Wanyan Talan tomorrow and force him to go to the battle earlier. He is like a turtle now, and I can't even tell you how to fight."

"Does the governor plan to end this battle earlier?" Wang Yuan asked casually.

"Of course, I'm worried about the safety of Zhe Kecun and Hailasu." Yue Fei said, "We are siegeing and killing Wanyan Talan here. The Southeast Song army will also pursue and intercept Zhe Kecun like us. If he is deeply surrounded, the situation will be extremely passive for us."

When Wang Yuan heard Yue Fei mention Zhe Kecun, the smile on his face disappeared. He was also worried about this lonely army, not knowing how they are fighting now, but once it is certain, Zhe Kecun and others are under the siege of the enemy, the situation is not optimistic, and the main force must go south as soon as possible to meet them.

Both of them stopped talking and silently looked at the red flame swaying in the wind.

Wanyan Zongbi really disguised himself as a disguise and escaped from the siege. He followed Ha Michi's advice, discarded his personal guards, took off his armor, cut off his beard, and then killed several tiger martyrs as they were dark. He put on the clothes of the tiger martyrs and escaped after hardships.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the lunar month, he met Zongfu who came south to support him. Zongfu could hardly recognize Zongbi, especially when he heard that Zongbi's 20,000 troops were wiped out, he was shocked and did not recover from the shock for a long time. Zongbi's 20,000 troops were the main forces of the Jin army, and three thousand of them were Meng'an Mouke. The destruction of this army did give a heavy blow to the Hebei Jin army, because the main forces of the Jin army in Hebei were less than 100,000, and the rest of the troops were recruited by Qian Dinggong. Although the total strength was more than 100,000, the main forces had to guard the Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River defense line. Zongfu could not transfer more troops to rescue Shandong Jin army.

"How many people are there in the Tiger Lie Army in the Central Plains?" Zong Fu suddenly heard the bad news and was too lazy to hold Zong Bi responsible for his defeat. "Did you figure it out?"

Zong Bi sat aside with his head down, without saying a word. He regretted not following Ha Michi's dissuasion, but before he discovered a large number of main forces of the Tiger Lie Army, he did not believe that the strength of the Tiger Lie Army would suddenly expand to such an amazing level.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the total strength of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army in the Central Plains is at least 300,000." Ha Michi thought for a long time and replied carefully.

"How is this possible?" Zong Fu's reaction was exactly the same as Zong Bi before the defeat. He could not believe that the Tiger Lie Army would have such huge strength.

"I can be sure that the Central Plains Tiger and Lieutenant Army has this scale."

Ha Michi was very determined and analyzed it to Zong Fu one by one. Wanyan Talai's Shandong Jin army had 110,000. If the Huli Army wanted to surround and had to surround, it would require at least three times the force, which was 300,000. Judging from yesterday's battle, the Huli Army set up a trap to surround Zong Bi's reinforcements based on the surround of Wanyan Talai and stubbornly blocking. Judging from the situation on the battlefield at that time, the Huli Army had invested at least more than 100,000 troops.

"What are the Southeast Song Army doing? If the Southeast Song Army is attacking and opening the seal and the Tiger Lie Army wants to send troops to block the attack, then wouldn't the Tiger Lie Army on the entire Central Plains battlefield have 500,000?" Zong Fu sneered, "There are 500,000 Tiger Lie Army in the Central Plains? Do you believe it? According to our estimates, all Li Hu's army has no 500,000 in total."

"The Central Plains Tiger and Lieutenant Army does not have 500,000, but what about the Southeast Song army in Yingtian Prefecture?" Ha Michi asked suddenly.

Zong Fu was stunned, his eyes suddenly glared, and the flesh on his cheeks twitched a few times, his eyes were extremely ferocious, "What did you say? The Southeast Song Army? The Southeast Song Army and Li Hu joined forces to fight us?"

"Otherwise, how can I explain it?" Ha Michi said with a wry smile, "I was thinking hard all the way, but I couldn't figure out why the Central Plains Tiger Lieutenant Army suddenly had so many more troops. Later, I thought of the Southeast Song Army. Imagine that if the Southeast Song Army betrayed our alliance, betrayed us, and joined forces with Li Hu to fight us, wouldn't that just explain the sudden extra troops on the battlefield?"

"What's the reason? What's the reason why the Song army in the Southeast betrayed us?" Zong Fu was skeptical, "Li Hu had defeated the Dangxiang people and won Hexi and Shuofang, and his strength was growing rapidly. If the Southeast does not form an alliance with us and join forces to fight against Li Hu, they will soon be swallowed by Li Hu. Such a simple truth. Don't Jiangning know?"

"The problem is not in Jiangning, but in Yingtian Prefecture." Ha Michi said, "Li Hu's strength is getting stronger and stronger. If Zhang Jun and Xinxingzong are bribed by Li Hu and are willing to join Li Hu, then isn't the mystery on the battlefield in Kaifeng today just right? The Chinese are unwilling to split, and Li Hu has the strength to unite. If Zhang Jun and Xinxingzong make a choice for their future, should they continue to work hard for Jiangning without hope, or to the powerful Chang'an? The emperors in both places are surnamed Zhao, and they are both continuation of the great Song Dynasty's destiny. It is reasonable to say who to work hard for. Since that is the case, Zhang Jun and Xinxingzong of course have reason to choose Chang'an, which can bring them more benefits."

Zong Fu suddenly woke up and his face changed immediately. Zong Bi also figured it out and hugged his head dejectedly. Unfortunately, the Jurchens woke up too late and regretted it too late.

"This is a trap." Zong Fu was so angry that his throat became hoarse. "Li Hu deceived us and set a trap for us that he would undoubtedly die."

"We must rescue Wanyan Talan as soon as possible." Zong Bi felt that it was not his responsibility to defeat Datun, and his mood was much better immediately. "The Hu Lie Army and the Southeast Song Army fought one after another, and the soldiers were tired. We should take this rare opportunity to kill again and rescue Wanyan Talan and its army."

Zong Fu shook his hands repeatedly. Zong Bi was defeated once, and the 20,000 army became a sumptuous meal for the Tiger Lieutenant Army. This time he brought 30,000 troops. What problems can the 30,000 troops solve? It is not enough to block the Tiger Lieutenant Army's teeth.

"If this is a trap and Li Hu personally dug up the trap, then Li Hu's target may be more than one Shandong." Ha Michi said that he was not shocking and refused to stop. Then he made another guess, "I think Li Hu is very likely to want to take Shandong and Hebei in one go."

To capture Hebei? Zongfu and Zongbi looked at each other and thought of a possibility that the battlefield of Wanting was bait, and Wanyan Talan and Shandong Jin army were also baits. The Tiger Lie Army relied on this bait to attract the Hebei Jin army to the Central Plains battlefield. In this way, Hebei troops were empty, and the Tiger Lie Army in Hedong and Daibei took advantage of the situation and entered.

Zong Fu's breathing was rapid and he was in a state of cold sweat. Zong Bi's face was pale and he was already sweating because of the shocking words of Ha Michi.

Hebei, perhaps Hebei is Li Hu's real goal. After the war in the Northwest, Li Hu went directly to Daibei and made trouble in Daibei. He must have a purpose. Now he analyzed this to Ha Michi. He was suddenly cheerful. It turned out that Li Hu was sharpening his sword in Daibei and was about to attack Hebei and Youyan.

"What should we do now?" Zong Bi asked, "We just leave Wanyan Talai alone?"

"Then I ask you, can our 30,000 troops rescue Wanyan Talan?" Ha Michi asked, "If we attack rashly, we are very likely to repeat the same mistakes and fall into the siege of the Tiger Lieutenant Army again and be wiped out."

Zong Fu thought for a long time and said slowly: "All this is speculation. At least there is no evidence to prove that the Southeast Song army of Yingtian Prefecture is an alliance with Li Hu. Take a step back and say that even if they form an alliance and are joining forces to fight us, we cannot leave Wanyan Talan, let alone abandon him, otherwise how can we explain to Huanglong Prefecture?"

Ha Michi was shocked and asked anxiously: "What if Hebei is in a hurry?"
