Hua Rong led the musketeers to chase the captured Song Bing.
But there were too many Song soldiers.
If they wanted to escape, Hua Rong couldn't stop them all.
We can only defeat and disperse the Song soldiers who want to gather together as much as possible.
Tong Guan changed out of his armor and put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier and mingled with the Song soldiers, successfully evading the pursuit of the Yan army.
After escaping for nearly forty miles, Tong Guan finally stopped.
At this time, the Song soldiers gathered around him, including his personal guards, numbered less than 3,000 soldiers and horses.
The emperor took off his saddle and sat on the saddle to rest.
Under the night sky, with a hill behind, a fire was lit, and several generals sat together, eating roasted horse meat.
During the breakthrough, even life was at risk, and food and grass could not be taken care of.
The heavy and delayed grain carts were all left behind, and now they may have become the spoils of Yan's army.
There was no food and grass.
At this time, Tong Guan could only order his men to slaughter a group of tired horses and cut the meat to fill his stomach.
Tong Guan fought with the Daxia Army in the northwest all year round, and often ate from the same pot with the army's lieutenants.
He was not a pampered person.
However, he saw a large piece of horse meat handed over by his subordinate Bi Sheng.
Tong Guan shook his head.
He had just suffered a big defeat, and now he had no appetite at all.
Tong Guan inspected a group of men who were devouring their food, and shouted: "I don't know how many men can break out this time.
I will raise my banner of the Song Dynasty tomorrow and gather the soldiers."
Feng Mei shouted: "Sir, the enemy is still chasing behind you, so it is not suitable to stay here.
The general believes that our army should rush to Jizhou first, and it will not be too late to raise the flag to recruit soldiers."
Bi Sheng also raised his hands and shouted: "The general thinks so too, sir, please think again."
Tong Guan just wanted to bring more soldiers and horses with him when he returned to Jizhou, so that he would not look so embarrassed and look better.
Now that he heard the advice from his subordinates, he no longer put up his commanding flag forcefully.
Tong Guan shouted: "If that's the case, then go back to Jizhou and put up the original flag and gather the soldiers."
Even the food and grass were lost, not to mention the tents.
Tong Guan covered himself with a cloak and spent the night in the wild.
At dawn, after having a meal with the horse meat slaughtered last night, Tong Guan hurriedly led his soldiers and horses to Jizhou.
In addition to Tong Guan who rushed to Jizhou, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu also got busy after receiving the order, leading their troops and horses to Jizhou.
The two of them led the troops to march in a hurry, taking advantage of the enemy's surprise and attacking him unprepared.
They marched in a hurry to attack Yuyang City in Jizhou Zhizhou.
But when there was still half a day before Yuyang City in Jizhou, the spies reported that the gate of Yuyang City was closed.
After losing to the Yan army last time, Liu Yanqing understood.
This group of Yan troops are tigers and wolves, and I am absolutely no match for them.
Since he was no match for them, Liu Yanqing would never be stupid enough to fight the Yan army in the field.
Anyway, his order this time was to station in Yuyang, so he simply stayed behind closed doors.
Without Tong Guan's command, Liu Yanqing would not have opened the city gate even if he was killed.
Yang Xiong had a headache after hearing the spy's report.
This time I finally had the opportunity to lead alone.
How could Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu, who were eager to make contributions, let go of this opportunity?
But now he met Liu Yanqing, who was like a tortoise, which put Yang Xiong in a difficult situation.
Do we have to wait until Marshal Lin comes to blast open the city gate with artillery?
As soon as this thought flashed across his mind, Yang Xiong threw it away.
Jizhou must be captured before the generals and marshals arrive.

Otherwise, we should wait until Marshal Lin and others arrive before taking Jizhou.
Then how can the two brothers stand out?
But Jizhou is now guarded by five thousand Song soldiers led by Liu Yanqing, and he is determined to defend it to death.
Yang Xiong found that his army did not have any weapons to attack the city.
If he insisted on defending the city, he would really have nothing to do with Jizhou for a while.
After thinking about it several times, Yang Xiong couldn't think of a good solution.
He simply asked someone to call his sworn brother Shi Xiu over.
He knew that Shi Xiu was more strategic than him.
After hearing Yang Xiong's advice, Shi Xiu came up with a good idea.
He proposed to let the army advance slowly first, but then march towards Jizhou with great fanfare, making it look like a large-scale attack.
Our army is attacking Jizhou, and Tong Guan's side must be in danger.
Then our army sent a small force pretending to be defeated Song soldiers and asked to open the door and enter the city.
As long as the city gate is opened falsely, Jizhou can definitely be captured with the strength of our army.
Yang Xiong himself didn't come up with a good idea, so he immediately said: "Okay, just do it your way."
Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu divided their labors and cooperated.
Yang Xiong led the army to pretend to attack with an army of 50,000, while Shi Xiu led more than a thousand Yan troops to pretend to be Song troops.
Liu Yanqing is also a veteran general who has defended the Xia army in the northwest for many years.
He knows that as long as one is careful and cautious, it will be difficult for the enemy to attack and capture a strong city like Yuyang without more than five times the strength of the troops.
Therefore, Liu Yanqing has been personally patrolling with soldiers these days to supervise his subordinates.
That morning, Liu Yanqing had just finished patrolling with his men and returned to his office.
He sat down on a chair and thought to himself: "I don't know when the Prime Minister will be able to capture Yanjing.
It's such a worrying day."
It’s really not like a human being would have changed with Zong if he knew it earlier.”
Liu Yanqing was sitting on a chair to rest.
When he was pouring water, a spy hurriedly came in and shouted: "Sir, there is something wrong."
"What's going on?"
Liu Yanqing hurriedly sat up and shouted.
"The spies reported that an enemy army of about 50,000 people is heading towards Jizhou.
Judging from the flag, it is undoubtedly the Yan army," the soldier shouted.
"The 50,000-strong Yan army is coming to Jizhou.
Can you find out clearly?
You should know what the crime is for falsely reporting military information."
When Liu Yanqing heard this, he didn't even bother to sit down and shouted directly.
When Liu Yanqing scolded him, the spy was frightened and panicked and said: "Little one, look carefully, little one.
It is indeed the Yan army.
There should be about 50,000 people in number."
"There should be 50,000 people.
How did you investigate?
Go and find out for me how many enemies there are," Liu Yanqing shouted angrily.
No wonder Liu Yanqing was so angry.
Whether the enemy had 50,000 soldiers or horses was a very serious matter.
If there are not 50,000, but only a few thousand soldiers and horses, that's fine.
Maybe this is the enemy's partial division, coming by a small road, pretending to attack Jizhou, and leading the imperial army.
If there are really 50,000 soldiers and horses who dare to attack Jizhou, it means that the imperial army was defeated miserably, and even the Prime Minister Liu Yanqing didn't dare to think about it anymore.
In order to get a definite answer, Liu Yanqing sent out all the spies on hand.

He must find out how many soldiers and horses this group of enemies had and what was happening to the army led by Lord Tong Guan.
Just as Liu Yanqing was anxiously walking back and forth in the government office, a captain at the city gate hurriedly ran in and shouted: "Sir, there is a group of people coming from outside the city.
They seem to be soldiers of our army.
They are asking for the door to be opened to let them in."
"Are you sure our soldiers and horses are our army's soldiers and horses?"
Liu Yanqing asked cautiously.
"General, I am not mistaken.
The armors worn by this group of people are indeed from our army."
"I'll go to the city gate to check it out in person," Liu Yanqing said, still a little worried
