On the fourth day of the lunar month, the battlefield in Wanting was very quiet... The Tiger and Lieutenant Army did not launch an attack, and the Shandong Jin army did not engage in a breakthrough battle, but the atmosphere on the battlefield was extremely tense, and the soldiers on both sides were ready to fight at all times.

Before afternoon, the Huli Army took the captured Jin army in Hebei to the two armies and asked a Jin army officer to rush to the Jin army camp with letters of persuasion to surrender.

Wanyan Talan was shocked when he heard that Zong Bi's 20,000 reinforcements were wiped out, and his confidence was immediately hit hard. It was not until this moment that he realized that he had mistakenly estimated the strength of the Tiger Lie Army, and this mistake caused him to fall into the Tiger Lie Army's trap and was losing the chance to escape.

Wanyan Talan refused to surrender. The Jin army officer returned to the Tiger Army with Wanyan Talan's message.

After a little thought, Wang Yuan ordered the troops to escort the prisoners, and asked the prisoners to hold the battle flag of the Jin army in Hebei and shout loudly around the Jin army camp, so as to shake the morale of the Jin army in Shandong and to attack their morale. Then, Wang Yuan ordered the crossbowmen of the army to shoot the Jin camp and persuade the Jin army to surrender, especially the Han army in Shandong. As long as they surrender, they would be released immediately and would not be held accountable for the crime of surrendering to the enemy and traitoring the country.

Inspired by the inspiration, Xin Xingzong immediately asked his subordinates to raise the battle flag of the Southeast Song Army and speed back and forth in front of the two armies. This was equivalent to telling all the soldiers of the Shandong Jin Army that the Southeast Song Army had formed an alliance with the Tiger Lie Army, and the combined forces of both sides far exceeded that of the Jin army. There was no possibility of breaking through at all. It was better to surrender as soon as possible.

The morale of the Jin army soon became chaotic, and the morale was even more fatal. Most of the soldiers of the Jin army had no idea about the entire battle situation. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the Shangguans must block the news, but the Hu Lie Army exposes their lies. Wanyan Talan and the commanders of the various armies were shocked and hurriedly remedy them. However, their lies were captured by the Jin army in Hebei and seemed very pale and powerless in front of the battle flag of the Song army in the Southeast. After several days of fighting, the lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers knew that they were surrounded. Now they saw evidence that the two reinforcements of their sides no longer existed. Of course, they would not believe the lies of the Shangguans anymore. So a desperate mood quickly spread and soon infected the entire army.

Wanyan Ta was lazy and anxious. That night, he urgently summoned the commanders of each army, intending to break through tomorrow.

The Hu Lie Army deployed heavy troops on the northern and eastern lines of the battlefield to prevent the Jin army from breaking into Hebei and Shandong, while the Guangji Canal on the southern line, breaking through from this direction is equivalent to seeking death, so in the end there is only one breakthrough direction left. That is to go west, fight towards Kaifeng, and break through the siege of the Hu Lie Army from this direction.

Wanyan Talan believed that as long as he broke out of the siege of the Tiger Lie Army, the main force could definitely retreat to Hebei safely. The implication was that he planned to abandon the infantry army. The infantry was slow and he would definitely not be able to escape under the pursuit of the Tiger Lie Army. The Ma army was very sure of escaping with the advantage of speed. Liu Yu, Huo Shi, Wu Lihai and others immediately agreed to this method. There is still hope for breaking through the siege. After a long time, the morale of the army was completely gone, so they had to wait to die.

However, on that night, the Han army began to flee. The Tiger and Lieutenant Army's attacking heart took effect. The Chinese did not attack the Chinese, the Song people did not attack the Song people. The Shandong Han people with the same roots and origins escaped thousands overnight, and several battalions (commanders) turned against each other as a whole.

The news reached Wanyan Tailang's ears, which made him almost crazy. The breakthrough strategy had been conveyed. No one could guarantee whether the matter was leaked. For safety, Wanyan Tailang had to abandon the original breakthrough plan and continue to hold on to the army. At the same time, he began to purify military discipline and severely punish escaped soldiers. Unfortunately, the morale of the army had been shaken, and the escaped "dam" had collapsed. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he could not stop the army from collapse.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, Zong Fu led 30,000 Hebei Jin troops to approach the Wanting battlefield and stopped about sixty miles away from Wanting.

The Jin army scout went south to investigate. Wang Yuan asked the scouts of his headquarters not to stop them and let the Jin army scouts approach the battlefield, so as to convey a message to the Jin army in Hebei. The Tiger Lie Army was waiting for the troops. If you want to come, you will not be able to escape the disaster of destruction.

On this day, the Huli Army tasted the sweetness of attacking the mind, pulled out the Jin army captives again, asked them to shout in front of the formation, and tried their best to persuade them to surrender. The possibility of the British soldiers surrender was slim. After all, the hatred between them was too deep, but the Han soldiers were different. They hated the French people, and the reason why they came to this battlefield was forced, of course they were willing to surrender and go home.

Wanyan Talai had a premonition that the Han army would become a disaster, but he had no choice but to watch the situation deteriorate gradually.

Liu Yu and his men tried their best to control the Han soldiers to prevent them from continuing to escape, but the situation of the war has developed to this point. Even Liu Yu had to consider his own way of retreat. That night, Liu Yu's son Liu Lin walked into the tent of the commander and solemnly warned his father to consider the way of retreat. Judging from the current situation, the Jin army basically had no possibility of breaking through.

"What other way can I consider?" Liu Yu smiled bitterly, "Even if I surrender, Chang'an will not let me go."

"If you make meritorious service and help the Tiger Lie Army encircle and annihilate the Jin army, will Chang'an still kill you?" Liu Lin advised, "Let's take a step back and say, even if Chang'an is unwilling to forgive you, they will definitely forgive our Liu family."

Liu Yu understood what Liu Lin meant. Although his son's words were ugly and harsh, it was true. Of course, he had to bear the blame for betraying the Song Dynasty. However, it would be too unworthy to let the entire Liu family let those innocent descendants suffer with them. Then Liu Yu thought of the cruelty of the Jurchens again. If... if Wanyan Talai successfully broke through and returned to Shandong, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the Liu family would be slaughtered by Wanyan Talai.

Seeing that his father was hesitant, Liu Lin hurriedly advised him, "Do you think Wanyan Talan has the possibility of successfully breaking through?"

Liu Yu looked at his son and remained silent. He didn't know how the situation of the war would develop, or he was unwilling to admit his fault. In short, he had no choice but to make a decision. However, considering that the Jin army in Hebei was coming quickly, he still held a hint of luck, and he hoped that Wanyan Talan could fight out.

"Didn't you see those Jin army prisoners?" Liu Lin was anxious and his voice became louder before he knew it. "Did you see that the Southeast Song army has joined forces with the Hu Lie Army? Wanyan Talan was surrounded by several times of his troops, so how could he be killed?"

"Hebei Jin army is coming to support." Liu Yu whispered, "Hebei Jin army and Shandong Jin army have hundreds of thousands of people. Two large armies attacked from north to south, and Wanyan Talan may be able to fight out." Liu Yu's voice became smaller and smaller, and obviously he had no confidence.

"Don't think about it anymore." Liu Lin shook his head in frustration, looked at his old father, and sighed helplessly, "If the Jin army in Hebei arrives in full bloom, what should Hebei do? What should we do with Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River defense line? Wanyan Zongbi's entire army was wiped out, which was bad news for the Jin army in Hebei. Zong Fu could not come to rescue again, otherwise once he was trapped here, Hebei might be lost."

Liu Lin's words stabbed Liu Yu's heart like a sharp sword, causing the only trace of hope he had left shattered in an instant. Liu Yu slowly lowered his head, felt his body getting colder and colder, his face gradually pale, as if he had suddenly lost his soul.

"Wanyan Talai was defeated, Shandong was lost, and the Jurchens could still save Hebei with the Yellow River defense line. But if Zong Fu was also defeated, the main force of Hebei suffered a severe blow in this battle and Hebei could not defend it, which would be a terrible disaster for the Jin Kingdom." Liu Lin continued, "With Zong Fu's ability, can't he tell the importance of this?" After a pause, Liu Lin still felt that he was not enough and added, "Zong Fu might come with reinforcements, but how long can the Tiger Lie Army and the Southeast Song Army jointly fight against the Jin Dynasty? When Zong Fu faces his opponent several times his own, he still dares to attack? Aren't he afraid of this? Isn't he afraid of Hedong, the Tiger Lie Army of Daibei taking the opportunity to attack Hebei, seize his retreat, and cut off his vitality?"

Liu Yu thought for a long time, and finally sighed to the sky and said something that Liu Lin had been looking forward to for a long time, "What are you going to do?"

"I plan to help the Huli Army kill Wanyan Talan and make contributions to my father and our Liu family." Liu Lin leaned into Liu Yu's ear, lowered his voice and said carefully, "This is our only chance to escape. If it succeeds, my father can use it to clear the charge of surrendering and colluding with the enemy, and our Liu family can use it to survive, wash away all the guilt and live with confidence."

"If..." Liu Yu hesitated for a long time, with deep fear in his eyes, "What if they don't agree? If they go back on their word..."

"Father, don't think too much." Liu Lin knew what his father was afraid of. His eyes turned red and tears came out involuntarily. "We are Chinese. If we want our descendants to live like individuals, we must do our best this time and there is no way out."

Liu Yu had no choice. His son had already said this. What else could hesitate? He sighed sadly and finally made up his mind, "You go to see Yue Fei in person. As long as you get Yue Fei's promise, we will get Li Hu's promise, and then the Liu family will still have hope of living."

On the night of the fifth day of the lunar month, under the surveillance of the Jurchens, the Han army's escape momentum was forcibly curbed, but in the early morning of the sixth day of the lunar month, Liu Lin and dozens of people quietly escaped from the camp.

In the early morning of the sixth day of the lunar month, Yue Fei was awakened by Sun Ge in his sleep. In a daze, he heard Sun Ge say something, "Wanyan Ta is finished lazily, it's completely finished."

Yue Fei was shocked, turned over and jumped up, and asked anxiously: "What did you say? What happened?"

Sun Ge was very excited, grabbed Yue Fei's arm and shouted: "Duan, miracle, miracle, Liu Lin is here, Wanyan is lazy."
