The envoy was very happy to hear what Sun Ziyi said.
"My general has always understood General Sun's wishes. That's why I came here. It is indeed my general who has a request for General Sun. I wonder if General Sun can agree to it."
"You said, I am worried that I have received too many favors and cannot repay Yuting. What can I do?"
Sun Ziyi became interested and asked quickly.
The messenger bows again.
"My general has considered that the golden thief is marching very fast. This time he can cut off General Sun's retreat. Next time, he can also cut off my general's retreat and threaten our army's food route. My general is sieging Zhending City with all his strength and preparing to build a river. Dikes store water.
If we really can't capture it, my general will flood Zhending, which will lead to a shortage of manpower and difficulty in protecting the food road. Therefore, my general hopes that General Sun can lead troops to the rear of our army to guard the important road and protect our army. Stay on the food road so that our army can do its best. "
Hearing this, Sun Tzu Yi felt a little worried and unsure.
"I'm very willing to do this, but I was defeated by a gold thief. How can I still keep Yuting's food route? I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep Yuting's food route, but will add an extra burden to him."
The messenger shook his head.
"My general would not have the confidence to fight against the Golden Thief Cavalry, so he avoided a head-on confrontation with the Golden Thief Cavalry, and then forced the Golden Thief Cavalry back. As long as there is no head-on field confrontation, the Golden Thief Cavalry is not that scary. , so my general believes that General Sun can do it."
Sun Tzu Yi was deeply moved after hearing this.
"I am lucky to meet a kind and righteous person like Yuting. Although I have lost over ten thousand soldiers, I still have other troops. Yuting trusts me and entrusts me with food and supplies. How can I do that?" What about disappointing him?"
So Sun Tzu Yi decided to help Su Yonglin, do as he said, protect Su Yonglin's food routes, and help him capture Zhending City with all his strength.
Hejian Mansion cannot be captured for the time being, but if Zhending Mansion can be captured, it will also cut off Jin Ting's arm in Hebei and severely damage Jin Ting, which is of great significance.
The news quickly spread to Su Yonglin, and Su Yonglin was very happy to learn that Sun Ziyi was willing to cooperate with him.
Then Su Yonglin considered that Sun Tzu Yi's troops had just suffered a heavy blow and had serious morale problems, so he sent Xin Qiji as an envoy to contact Sun Tzu Yi and communicate the tactics he had set with Sun Tzu Yi. Fight together.
Sun Tzu Yi's army narrowly escaped death and had no idea of continuing to besiege Hejian City. The actual situation did not allow Sun Tzu Yi to have any more thoughts. So according to Su Yonglin's suggestion, Sun Tzu Yi quickly retreat.
Two days later, on November 25, Sun Tzu Yi's entire army retreated to Leshou County in Xianzhou. They replenished the missing grain near Leshou County and finally breathed a sigh of relief and settled down.
Although half of the elite main force was lost and suffered major injuries, Sun Tzu Yi's regiment generally still has its main force and has not lost its ability to fight. If the Jin army moves south on a large scale, Sun Tzu Yi can still fight.
Su Yonglin's strategic purpose was achieved.
When they retreated, the Jin soldiers in Hejian City did not pursue them.
Just as Sun Tzu Yi thought, the Jin soldiers in Hejian City were also confused about this situation. They did not dare to leave the city for two days, and they did not leave the city until two days later to check the situation.
At first glance, there was no trace of either one of our own people or the Liberation Army.
They were even more depressed and had no idea what was going on. Just like a lucky man in the center of a hurricane, the hurricane dissipated and nothing happened to him.
Only after they took the initiative to send someone to contact Wanyan Alin did we know what happened.
Hejian City is no longer the strategic focus of the Northern Expedition and the Restoration Army, Zhending City is.
Through this surprise battle, Su Yonglin was like a game character who activated the taunting skill, successfully attracting the monster's attention. Now, he believed that the leader of the golden army had regarded him as a thorn in his flesh, and he wanted to get rid of him soon. .
In fact, this is also true.
On November 23, Wanyan Alin led his army to retreat to Xiongzhou to replenish the shortage of food and fodder. After that, he finally got a chance to breathe, reorganize the army, and let the army and horses rest.
While resting, Wanyan Alin began to think about what had happened before, and felt extremely regretful and resentful about the reversal of the situation caused by his strategic mistakes.
He did not expect that there was such a bold and precise person in the Liberation Army group, who actually successfully forced him, cut off his logistics, and forced him to withdraw his troops despite his absolute advantage.
Such a huge military exploit, which could annihilate one of the main forces of the Liberation Army in one fell swoop, was tragically overturned in this situation.
He felt the emotion of shame deeply.
Then he began to re-examine the main force of the Liberation Army that he had previously ignored.
According to the limited information he had, he only knew that the main force of the Liberation Army numbered about 60,000 to 70,000, and had a strong fighting capacity. There was also a well-established cavalry team, which came and went like the wind, and was quite good at fighting.
It should be that they captured the Jin Army's horses during the Shandong War and formed their own cavalry, which was the same composition as the cavalry under Hejian City that he had previously destroyed.
It must be said that these rebels were quite capable. They completely defeated the mediocre and incompetent officials in Shandong, occupied Shandong, and launched the Northern Expedition based on Shandong, disrupting Hebei.
They have certain organizational capabilities, can organize so many troops, can bring so many troops out for the Northern Expedition, and can also have a relatively stable rear to provide logistics.
This is why they can disrupt Hebei.
At present, most of Hebei is in chaos. Even in Xiongzhou, there are reports of unrest. Some people are trying to cause chaos and affect the government's administration and mobilization.
If it continues, Hebei will not be protected, Zhongdu will be in danger, and the capital of the Jin Kingdom will face a huge threat.
Therefore, Wanyan Alin must eliminate the main force of the Liberation Army here and eliminate the threat from the second government.
But if the opponent makes up his mind not to fight with him in the field, he can only force them to fight in the field by cutting off their retreat and destroying their crops, and then use their strong combat power to win.
This method has been tested before and is feasible. If he hadn't been careless and someone took advantage of the loophole, he should be enjoying the supreme glory in Hejian City now.
But now they are replenishing food in Xiongzhou, tasting the taste of failure.
Wanyan Alin thought carefully and felt that this time he must be more careful to hide the grain and grass, protect the grain, grass and the beans used by the war horses, and then launch an attack on the rear of the Liberation Army, forcing them to leave the camp and city to fight with him in the field.
So he sent many sentry cavalry everywhere to inquire about the news.
Around November 28th, he clearly learned that the situation in Zhending City was very bad.
The coalition forces took advantage of the existence of the Hutuo River to build a temporary dam around Zhending City to store water. While storing water, they also surrounded Zhending City, causing Zhending City to be surrounded by the dam. If you are not careful, you will be treated like a flood of water.
Since the beginning of winter this year, the temperature has not been very low. Although the wind is freezing, the river has not frozen. We don’t know when a stronger cold wave will come.
If the water doesn't freeze, it can flood everything, so Zhending City is in danger.
Wanyan Alin was a little anxious, feeling that he needed to send troops as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Zhending Mansion, but at the same time, he suddenly thought that the circle of dams was a huge threat to Zhending City, and it was also a threat to him.
If you dig inward, you can flood Zhending City, and if you dig outward, you can flood the city. It is a very useful building no matter how you look at it. By using this engineering building, the coalition forces put themselves in an invincible position. .
This makes Wanyan Alin feel very troubled.
This means that one of him, his army, and the army in Zhending City must become a victim. Even if they win the battle, they will not be able to be saved, but will have to pay a heavy price for it.
There are experts among these rebels.
He thought so, and further believed that the person who came up with this plan and the person who attacked his rear and forced him to retreat should be the same person.
He was just under Zhending City, still planning his next attack plan.
The problem is serious.
Wanyan Alin’s heart beat rapidly.
