I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

That was the unique Pishi Army. Even if [-] Xiang troops were exchanged for [-] cavalry, the battle loss rate would be as high as [-] to [-].

In Cai You's mind, it was also a profit. The Song Dynasty didn't have many things, but it had many people. Even if it was exchanged [-] to [-] with the Khitans, it could be exchanged for more than a dozen Khitans.

With the annihilation of the Pishi Army as a guarantee of military success, Cai You didn't panic anymore. The emperor had a fig leaf.

Moreover, Shuozhou was still in the hands of the Song Dynasty, and the whole territory was there, which was much better than the city of Yingzhou.

Cai You glanced at the Liao army scouts roaming freely outside the city.

The deputy general asked subconsciously: "What is Xiao Zhan doing?"

Wang Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Cai You paused and said, "Let the cavalry go north and attract all the scouts outside."

"Let the soldiers prepare, I will take you home later."

Wang Zhen looked at the Liao army rushing outside, then looked at the sky and said, "Ms. sir, Liao army scouts are all over Yingzhou. If they go out, they will be discovered."

Cai You glanced at Wang Zhen and said: "Although I don't know why Xiao Zhan wanted to disperse all the cavalry, he did give us a chance. The cavalry gathered at the foot of Yingzhou City. Let alone go back, their lives will not be saved."

"Once the scout team goes out to fight with them, the Liao army will gather on their side. Before they can react, we can run straight away. It only takes two hours for us to return to the Song Dynasty. I have ordered Yongzhou Road The border troops are coming to support us, so we will surely meet them on the road."

Wang Quan, the adjutant on the side, saw Cai You and obviously wanted to use the sergeants to pave a way for him to escape with their lives. He hurriedly said: "My lord, the outside is full of Liao army scouts. As long as they are discovered, they will gather quickly." Yes, there is no way to escape."

Cai You looked unhappy and scolded: "You have no right to speak. Act according to the order and gather the whole army."

Wang Quan hurriedly knelt down and said: "The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die, I hope you will forgive me, the villain will go and organize the army now."

The adjutant retreated, and Cai You cursed angrily: "They are a bunch of useless trash, just like Geng Yanxi. A hundred thousand soldiers were killed by four thousand Pishi troops."

It's worse than the remnant army he left behind, and I really wanted to kill him. "

Wang Zhen comforted him and said: "My lord, calm down your anger. My lord, please calm down. On this occasion, I will return to my country first, and then I will ask the officials to thoroughly investigate the fault of this defeat."

Cai You snorted coldly, turned around, and did not give Wang Zhen a good look. He had not forgotten how Wang Zhen tortured him a few days ago.

Wang Zhen didn't care and greeted him with a smile, "My lord, tell me, what reward will you get when you return to the official residence this time?"

After chatting for a while, Wang Zhen slowly got down to business, "My lord, Wang Quan is right. By sending the cavalry out, isn't it obvious that they will die? Without the cavalry, we can just..."

Cai You explained impatiently: "If they don't attract the attention of the Khitans, how can we escape?"

Although I don't know how Liu Sheng annihilated the Pishi army, Xiaozhan had scouts all over Yingzhou, so he must have thought that our army had an ambush.

Since it was a total annihilation, no one must have escaped, so the Khitans did not know how the Pishi Army was destroyed.

"If you don't run now, they won't be able to leave until they figure out the situation." Cai You turned around and looked at the soldiers gathered below the city and said, "I also want to take them back, but only those who give up will gain something, and they who are reluctant to give up will gain something." , we won’t be able to leave, and when the officials start their Northern Expedition again next year, I will definitely avenge them.”

Wang Zhen looked at the cavalry rushing outside the city and remembered the defeat at the Sanggan River that night.

They have horses that can run away, but how many of the remaining soldiers can run away?

I couldn't help but trembled in my heart and said: "Ms. sir, didn't you write to the border troops on Yongzhou Road? Wouldn't it be better for us to wait for them to pick up the troops?"

If possible, Cai You would also like to lie down in Yingzhou City and wait for reinforcements from Yongzhou Road.

But for the border troops on Yongzhou Road, every single dispatch costs money!

The basic national policy set by the Song Dynasty since the founding of the country was to strengthen the weak branches and strengthen the cadres.

In the next hundred years, the number of times the Central Army was dispatched to fight can be counted on one hand.

The border army, which was originally a weak force, was in constant border friction and became stronger and stronger during the battle.

The combat power has already been dozens of blocks ahead of the Central Forbidden Army.

This time they were asked to go on an expedition, and they actually dared to talk to the court about the conditions and wanted to repay the missing military pay.

But the military pay has already been paid out. Although not much has reached the hands of the sergeants after several hands, it was also allocated from the national treasury. Where can Cai You pay them again?

If the trouble reaches the top and the officials find out about it, it will definitely be another major case, and they will have no choice but to encourage the officials to send out the imperial army.

If Yongzhou Road is to come to the rescue at this moment, the previous conditions must be indispensable.

This is also the reason why Cai You wrote to his father.

This time Cai You didn't explain, just shook his head, but his heart became more and more dissatisfied with Wang Zhen.

It’s okay to know some things clearly, why should you say them clearly?

As soon as the cavalry team from Yingzhou left, Xiao Zhan got the news.

"General, there are cavalry troops heading north in Yingzhou City."

Xiao Zhan sat on his horse and asked doubtfully: "To the north? What's to the north?" Without thinking too much about it, Xiao Zhan ordered: "annihilate them all, gather at Yingzhou City."
