Shi Songzhi suddenly fainted, causing many generals in the tent to immediately become confused.
Jiang Wanzai and others quickly helped Shi Songzhi to sit down in the commanding position. Everyone quickly pinched the person, helped Shi Songzhi unbutton his clothes, and found a fan to fan himself.
Everyone stepped forward to rescue him, but Shi Zhaizhi grabbed the person who came to report the news and shouted: "What did you say to Shi Xiang?"
The general was hesitant, but he didn't dare to reveal the information to him, "Zhi Zhi Envoy, I really can't say this."
Shi Zhaizhi pushed him aside angrily and gathered around to help, but couldn't intervene.
At this time, when everyone was worried, Shi Songzhi finally opened his eyes with everyone's rescue, but his face was crooked, and he could not speak.
】
The Qi navy entered the Huaihe River, defeated the Song navy, and cut off the food route for the 300,000-strong army. Shi Songzhi could not accept it for a while, and the huge blow made him suffer a stroke from anger.
When Jiang Wanzai saw Shi Songzhi's condition, he was immediately shocked, "No, Shi Xiangran is in trouble!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Shi Songzhi was the commander-in-chief of the entire army, but the enemy was suffering from a stroke. What should we do?
Shi Zhaizhi was the envoy of the Lianghuai system and Shi Songzhi's cousin. He hurriedly stepped forward to check, and when he saw Shi Songzhi's appearance, he immediately shed tears, "Shi Xiang, what's wrong with you? What can you do with such a large army?"
Shi Songzhi was supported by Jiang Wanzai and others and slumped down on the chair. He tilted his head and salivated at his mouth. He wanted to speak, but his throat could only make a gurgling sound.
Shi Songzhi's body was not in control, but his mind was very clear. He knew the consequences of the food channel being cut off.
Now the Song army must retreat immediately and try to return to Huainan, otherwise once the food is exhausted, even the million-strong army will disappear.
For a moment, Shi Songzhi wanted to order a retreat, but he couldn't say a word or even move his fingers. He was so anxious that tears flowed out of his eyes.
Many Song generals in the tent were in chaos when they saw this. Shi Zhaizhi heard them talking here and there and couldn't help shouting: "Everyone, please be quiet!"
Shi Zhaizhi was attacked by Zhao Tai a few days ago, which made him unable to hold his head up.
After Shi Songzhi arrived in Pizhou, his power was taken back. The generals all reported to Shi Songzhi, and Shi Zhaizhi was directly marginalized.
Now that Shi Song suffered a stroke, Shi Zhaizhi, as the son of Shi Miyuan, became the person with the most weight to speak as the envoy of the Lianghuai system.
He scolded, and all the generals in the tent immediately fell silent, which made Shi Zhaizhi feel a little relieved. He turned back to look at Shi Songzhi, "Don't worry, Mr. Shi, I will definitely cure you as long as I am here!"
Shi Song suffered a stroke and was no longer able to command, so Shi Zhaizhi wanted to take over the command and capture Pizhou to avenge his previous humiliation.
Shi Songzhi's throat rumbled, and he wanted to tell Shi Zhaizhi to retreat, but he still couldn't make a sound.
Shi Zhaizhi was a little confused when he heard the voice, "Shi Xiang, what do you mean? Are you worried about the army?"
Shi Songzhi shed tears of emotion.
Shi Zhaizhi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shi, just leave the army to me! I will definitely capture Pizhou."
Shi Songzhi shook his head desperately, but his head did not move. Fortunately, at this time, Shi Zhaizhi asked the person who reported the news again, "Prime Minister Shi has suffered a stroke and cannot command. Now I am commanding the army. Tell me, what do you say to Prime Minister Shi?" What?"
Seeing that Shi Songzhi was indeed unable to command the army, the general walked to Shi Zhaizhi and whispered in his ear again.
Shi Zhaiben thought that taking advantage of Shi Song's stroke, he could take over the army and avenge his shame.
He even thought that since he was Shi Miyuan's son, it was only reasonable that he should take the position of Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty.
Now that Shi Song suffered a stroke, he happened to take control of the army, and then attacked Zhao Tai, and succeeded Shi Song as prime minister by destroying Qi.
Shi Zhaizhi was feeling proud when the general's voice sounded like a thunder in his mind, "What? You said the food road should be cut off by Qi's army?"
Shi Zhaizhi's face was full of disbelief, and all the generals in the tent also stared at the two men with wide eyes.
He would not have expected that Shi Zhaizhi would be so brazen and actually reveal such a confidential matter.
When a group of generals heard that the food route was cut off, they immediately became upset and gathered around to ask what was going on.
Shi Songzhi, who was slumped on his seat, was speechless for a while. Food was the morale of the army. How could he let the soldiers know that the food route was cut off?
Shi Songzhi had already anticipated the ending and couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.
When Shi Zhaizhi saw the situation in the tent, he also realized that he had made a mistake, but now that everyone knew it, there was no need to hide it, so he asked, "How could the Qi army cut off our food route?"
The general looked hopeless, "The Qi Navy was equipped with new firearms and defeated our navy in Lianshui. Now the Qi Navy controls the Huaihe River, and our supply of food and retreat have been cut off by the Qi Army." "
Shi Zhai's abilities were not as good as Shi Songzhi's, but he still knew what it meant to have his food route and retreat route cut off.
The dream of avenging shame was shattered before it even began.
Shi Zhaizhi's face turned pale, but fortunately he did not faint.
At this time, the generals in the tent were already in panic. Jiang Wanzai said urgently: "Mr. Zhizhi, we should immediately block the news, and then use the order of the Prime Minister to order the armies to retreat alternately and look for opportunities to withdraw to Huainan!"
Shi Zhaizhi was reminded by him and immediately reacted, "Yes, yes! We must retreat immediately!"
Once the food road is cut off, the 300,000 Song army will soon run out of food and must retreat as soon as possible, otherwise the army will collapse without a fight.
Now the Song Army can only give up attacking Pizhou, and at the same time, it does not care about losing face in front of the Mongols. It is important to preserve the main force of the Song Army.
If all the 300,000 Song troops were destroyed, then Jianghuai would have no troops, and it would not be impossible for the Qi army to rush to Lin'an in one go.
At this time, everyone in the tent was about to discuss how to retreat, when another general raised the curtain and said, "Shi Xiang!"
The visitor broke into the tent and saw the chaos in the tent. He also saw Shi Songzhi slumped on a chair. He couldn't help but be shocked.
Shi Zhaizhi looked over and couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter?"
The visitor was full of doubts, but he still reported: "The scouts came to report, and Zhao Tai came back with 20,000 infantry and cavalry, and killed him again."
When Shi Zhai heard this, he almost collapsed on the ground.
Zhao Tai's cavalry came back, and with the Qi cavalry on its side, how could the Song army retreat?
…
Zhao Tai made an appointment with the navy. He led the cavalry around Pizhou for a few days. When Li Fen arrived with 10,000 infantry, it was estimated that the navy had entered the Huaihe River, so he joined forces with Li Fen and fought to the foot of Pizhou City again.
At this time, in the wilderness, the Qi army marched on foot and cavalry and stopped three miles away from the Song army camp.
Zhao Tai rode his horse to a high hill, overlooking the endless Song army camp under Pizhou City. He couldn't help but be high-spirited and said to the left and right: "Once the navy succeeds, these hundreds of thousands of Song troops will be the only ones in the pocket! Hahaha~"
Li Fen couldn't help but sigh and echoed, "Your Majesty is really like a god with his troops!"
