Chapter 903

"Can you confirm?" Su Dongpo and Zong Ze looked at each other and asked at the dusty general at the same time.

"The last general can be sure, but I am worried that the conscript on the ship will not be able to explain clearly, so the last general will come with the ship to report..."

"It is obvious that the Liaoxia coalition forces are not intact, and the team is very disconnected. After a while, the general and several brothers rushed north and saw some wanderers fleeing. Only then did they confirm that something might be happening in Yuzhou. Therefore, the general sent several brothers to continue to reconnaissance in Yuzhou, and I came to report the news to the Lord."

"It seems that I can't make a mistake..." Zong Ze hit his palms, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"If there is a change in Youzhou, then the pressure on us..." Su Dongpo also lit up his eyes, turned his head, looked at the map, stroked his long beard, and said with anticipation.

"I don't know what's going on in Yuzhou. That boy Wang Yang did a big deal and didn't send anyone to notify me. This is so unfaithful..."

Listening to Su Dongpo's complaints, Zong Ze's expression seemed very strange. Even if he was unfaithful, he could say something that Su Dongpo said was enough. Compared to Wang Yang, Su was really treated as a nephew, and it was not an official tone at all.

"Su Xiang said this badly. Now, our scout cavalry has just arrived. I guess we should wait until the war is over and count the results before sending people to report the victory."

"Well, this is true. Thank you for your hard work, Liu Zheng, but I'm afraid you have to work hard to pick up your subordinates and see if there is any new news coming..."

"I will obey the order." The scout commander loudly agreed and walked away quickly.

#####

At this time, Xiao Shen, who was in charge of the central army, looked ugly, comparable to the expressions of the former commander Yelu and Luwu, who received the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty in the central army tent in Yuzhou before.

"Can you be sure that it was the messenger sent by General Yelu Jinping?" Xiao Shen put down the military book in his hand and glanced over the tent. Fortunately, it was dim at this moment, and the day's battle was over. The soldiers were either withdrawing their troops back to the camp or preparing supper. Here, there was no one else except for two confidants.

However, when these two confidants heard the news, their expressions instantly looked extremely ugly and they looked at each other.

"Yes, Mo Jiang was also shocked. Because he was worried that this matter might be a trick of the Song people, Mo Jiang seized him outside the camp and presented all his waist cards and letters for help. Please tell the authenticity of the general." The leader of the scout fell to the ground.

What was presented in front of me was a waist sign and a silk book.

The handwriting on the silk book seemed a bit sloppy, but Xiao Shen finally recognized the handwriting of the general Yelu Jinping, and combined with the seal stamped on the letter of help, he could be 100% sure that this should be written by Yelu Jinping.

But the question is, how could Yelu Jinping defeat so quickly and so miserable?

Yelu Xiong also stomped his feet in a panic and said angrily. "The 80,000 army was just now, only half of them were left, retreating southward, losing half of 40,000 troops. Isn't Yelu Jinping very powerful?

Why did he become so weak in the blink of an eye? Eighty thousand men could not even support them for a day, so he retreated south!"

"Our army has been operating outside the city of Youzhou for more than a month, and the entire four camps were lost in one day. How many Song troops are there to be so fierce?"

"Look at what Yelu Jinping said in his letter. The Song army had at least 100,000 reinforcements, and among them there were 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry..."

"...Where did so many Song troops come from?" The two confidants were stunned. They never expected that so many Song troops would appear outside the city of Youzhou.

"That's the rear of the army. If that 100,000 troops were not going to attack Yelu Jinping outside the city of Youzhou, but to us..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Shen, who were present, couldn't help but feel cold. Yes, if the 100,000 troops did not go to break the siege of Youzhou, but directly plagiarized the back of the main force of the Liaoxia coalition, I am afraid that even if the army can stabilize its position, it will suffer heavy losses. After all, Yelu Jinping is still the eldest general of the Liao Dynasty.

It almost made the Song army beat the dog's brain. If it were replaced by his own army, it would be much better...

"There is a big reason why they did not copy our army's retreat because behind us is General Yelu Jinping outside the city of Youzhou."

"If General Yelu Jinping knew that our main force was attacked, he would definitely lead his troops to the south to help. In this way, the Song army might not steal the chicken and become a turtle in the jar under the encirclement of our army. Therefore, this Song army reinforcement did not target us, but wanted to defeat General Yelu Jinping first, and then slowly go south to encircle..."

Xiao Shen stroked his long beard, listened to the analysis of his confidant beside him, and considered various possibilities. He had to admit that the analysis of this subordinate seemed very appropriate. It can be said that Yelu Jinping was just blocking his knife for himself.

"Yelu Xiong, you immediately lead 20,000 cavalry to reinforce, and to respond to General Yelu Jinping. After receiving it, form a formation on the spot. If the Song army continues to pursue, then send people to the central army tent. The general will personally lead the elite army and meet the Song people who still want to gain a stubbornness for a while."

"I will obey the order!" Yelu Xiong also took the order loudly and quickly walked out of the tent. Xiao Shen stroked the long beard under his chin, and after judging for a while, he raised his head.

"Sir, with Yelu Xiong's 20,000 cavalry, it is probably not enough to resist the Song army's military. According to the officials, the general should recruit at least this number of troops to reinforce northwards."

"I don't know that this general is, but in this way, what advantages does our Liaoxia coalition have to do when facing Su Dongpo's army in the south?" Xiao Shen rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and the wrinkles on his face counted countless identical words: "Boy hurt."

As soon as Xiao Shen said this, the confidant was also a little silent.

"What should I do?"

Xiao Shen stroked his long beard, and his eyes flashed for a long time, and he said gloomyly. "Since Yelu Jinping was careless and caused our army to lose troops, it is no wonder that I impeached His Majesty for his dereliction of duty and defeat."

My confidant was stunned at first, and then he reacted and looked at Xiao Shenyi with conscience. "Sir, the defeat of the city of Youzhou will cause our Great Liao army to be completely destroyed. This is the fault of Yelu Jinping, and this should be the case."
