Chapter 722: Da Song's Old Friend Wan Yanchang

Wanyan Sali's face looked like pig liver when he drank.

He looked at the trembling and frightened farmer in front of him. Originally, this farmer just said a very ordinary sentence, but he always felt that the other person seemed to be laughing at him.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "Continue searching! I don't believe Song Gou can evacuate everyone!"

In the next two days, Wanyan Salihe's cavalry split up and began searching around Taiyuan Mansion.

"Report! Dutong, traces of burning have been found in many nearby villages, including a lot of food!"

"Report! Dutong, all the villages are empty, and the people have left. I heard that some went to Taiyuan City, and some went south!"

"Going south?" Abuhan sneered, "There are so many people in Taiyuan Prefecture. How could the Song Army evacuate all the villages and resettle those people in more than a month?"

"What do you mean?" Wanyan Sali asked.

"These Song people are either in Taiyuan Prefecture or in places south of Taiyuan Prefecture. They will never go too far. This is a conspiracy of the Song people!"

Yeah! Won’t go too far!

This is fucking obviously Jianbi Qingye!

The food was burned, and the civilians were forcibly moved into the city, even if they were not in Taiyuan City, they were also in the small counties around Taiyuan Prefecture.

Then the government mobilized grain reserves.

The cost of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields was very high, but Wu Jie managed to get it right.

Only then did Wanyan Salihe fully realize that he had been led by Wu Jie from beginning to end?

"Have you found any traces of Song Jun?"

"No, Song Jun did not follow."

"This is impossible!" Wanyan Salihe immediately became vigilant again.

After fighting Wu Jie several times, he began to have a shadow in his heart.

Fortunately, he was not afraid when he heard that Wu Jie was following him. However, he found no trace of Wu Jie, which made him feel scared.

He always felt that the Song Army's cavalry had been waiting for a long time in a hidden place around them. As long as they were waiting for him to run out of food, they would jump out and surprise him.

In this way, Wanyan Sali was startled and carefully robbed food in the Taiyuan area.

It’s not that there is no harvest at all. In a small village, you can always dig out a little bit to fill your teeth.

On the seventh day of July, Wanyan Sali complained: "Why hasn't Zhending Mansion replied?"

Abuhan said: "I think we should not stay in Taiyuan Mansion for a long time."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Song army has been prepared for a long time. If our army continues to stay, Wu Jie will not know when to go south. If the war situation enters a protracted state by then, it will be detrimental to our army!"

"Then where to go?" Wanyan Sali asked, "Daizhou is in Wu Jie's hands."

"Go to Zhending Mansion and send a request for help to Yin Shuke in Zhongshan and ask him to send troops to Taiyuan!"

Wanyan Salihe thought for a while and said, "That's the only way."

That night, the Jin army's camp was brightly lit, but the tents were empty.

Wanyan Salihe withdrew his troops overnight, marched eastward from Taiyuan Prefecture, and rushed to Zhending Prefecture.

Taiyuan is not far from Zhending Mansion, almost four hundred miles, and can be reached in eight days' march.

On the eighth day of July, Wanyan Sali was walking on the road. He didn't know that the Zhending Mansion he went to was now like an ant on a hot pot.

Since the last time Hanlugu was defeated by Niu Gao's cavalry, the Jin army in Zhending Mansion temporarily avoided the edge of the Song army and turned to Yin Shuke for help.

But the day before yesterday, news came that shocked Wanyan Pucha: Wanyan Yinshu was defeated in Qizhou!

This is simply beyond Wanyan Pucha's normal understanding. You must know that Wanyan Yinshu is known as the "Little God of War".

Wanyan Pucha was still waiting for Wanyan Yinshuke to come and wipe his ass, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was this news.

After Niu Gao defeated the Jin army in Gaocheng, he stationed himself in Jingxing County.

Since the Jin army had not moved for a period of time, the Song army naturally became more active than ever before. Headed by Kong Yan, they contacted the local rebels extensively in Zhending Mansion. All parts of Zhending Mansion immediately gathered to respond, and many people surrounded Zhending City.

Trends in Zhending Mansion.

Noon on the eighth day of July, Yanjing.

Liu Yanzong said worriedly: "Your Highness, do you really want to go south?"

Zong Wang said: "The war situation has expanded. Xilin Helu may not be able to see Song officials in Zhending Mansion. Zhongshu Ling sent a letter a few days ago asking the army to go south. I am afraid he will arrive in Yanjing today. Now I have

Without the reason to oppose, it is impossible to let the Song army take back those places of Zhending!"

"But the Deputy Privy Council is opposed to sending troops."

The deputy privy envoy Liu Yanzong was talking about was Wan Yanchang, the nominal highest official of Yanyun.

Zong Wang glanced at him and said, "Wan Yanchang's words here don't count."

"But if he goes to complain to His Majesty..." Liu Yanzong stopped talking.

Zong Wang knew what he meant.

If Wanyanchang goes to complain, the puppet emperor Wanyan Zongpan will naturally not dare to do anything to Zong Wang, but those people behind Wanyan Zongpan will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

"At this point, it's no longer time to worry about this," Zong Wang said.

As soon as Zong Wang finished speaking, Wanyan Jing hurried in: "Father, Zhongshu Ling is here."

"Zhongshu Ling came so quickly!" Liu Yanzong said with emotion, "It seems that Zhongshu Ling is eager to go south."

Zong Wang took his people out of the city to meet Zong Han.

After the two met, Zong Han looked very happy. He patted Zong Wang on the shoulder: "We are going to fight side by side again!"

"How many troops did Zhongshu Ling bring?"

"Fifty thousand!" Zong Han looked at him, "How many troops can you spare here?"

"I can also spare fifty thousand!"

Zong Han said with great ambition: "Okay, that's enough, plus the 30,000 soldiers from Sa Lihe. By the way, there are also silver skills, Pucha, and Po Luhuo. It's not a problem to gather 200,000 troops!"

Zong Wang reminded: "The deputy privy envoy has objections to this."

"Wan Yanchang?" Zong Han was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Who is he?"

While he was talking, a group of people happened to come in front of him. If he took a closer look, he turned out to be Wan Yanchang.

Wan Yanchang came over on horseback and said with a smile, "I've seen Zhongshu Ling."

Zong Han just nodded, not even looking at him.

Wan Yanchang was not angry, he said: "Why didn't Zhongshu Ling come to Yanjing without telling him in advance? I will send someone to greet him."

"Do I still need to report to you when I act?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. It's just that Zhongshu Ling is in Liaoyang, but he left his post without permission. Doesn't it comply with the new regulations of the imperial court?"

"Are you worthy of mentioning the new imperial regulations in front of me?" Zong Han sneered.

"I really don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!" Wan Yanchang is not good at fighting, but he has obviously worked hard on politics, and he behaves very softly.

He turned around and looked at Zong Wang, surprised and said: "Your Highness, I heard that you are rectifying Yan Yun's troops recently?"
