Wuzhu was startled and immediately turned around and called out, "Where is the Grand Master's slave?"

"I'm here." The master's slave in the darkness was startled and then came to his senses.

"Send someone quickly to pass on my golden medal, and tell Yelu Mawu to hold on to Jingxing, and then go to Datong Prefecture to find Eluguan and tell him to retreat immediately, taking as many people as he can."

The Grand Master's slave agreed.

"I will borrow the King of Wei's gold medal." Wanyan Bendu also gritted his teeth and followed. "I will immediately send several thousand cavalrymen from my own army to Longde Prefecture with the King of Wei's gold medal to pick up the families of the generals of Longde Prefecture's marching department... If the treasury can be moved, move it, if not, burn it!"

Wuzhu nodded blankly.

"Is it true that General Gao is doomed?" A younger voice responded with difficulty at this difficult time. "Can't we go investigate a little?"

In the darkness beside the campfire, a few sporadic sneers were heard, while beside the campfire, Gao Qingyi, with a calm expression, did not move, as if he did not recognize that it was Pu Suyue's voice.

Wushu, on the other hand, sighed slightly and turned back to order: "Tai Shi Nu, send an envoy to the other side to ask Yue Fei tomorrow morning... The other side is reasonable, and if there is any whereabouts, he will definitely not cover it up... Gao Tong's matter, you continue to tell me."

After this, the campfire became quiet again. Gao Qingyi waited for a while before explaining the situation seriously: "Fourth Prince, the next step is actually a countermeasure... The countermeasure is also very simple. After today's incident, just as the Golden Knight said, the city and the pass cannot be relied upon... The only way for now is to avoid a complete collapse while the main force of the country is still there, so we can only fight in the field."

Everyone was speechless.

"And if we want to fight a battle in the field, where should we fight? If we can't rely on the city, should we give it up?" Gao Qingyi said this, feeling a little frustrated. "Zhending Prefecture has always been the place where the ruling prince inspects the military supplies of various routes, and there are countless military equipment and food warehouses. Should we just give it up? If we abandon Zhending, what about Hejian? If we abandon Hejian, won't we just abandon Yanjing? Therefore, if we want to fight a battle in the field, we can only abandon Yuancheng, take advantage of Yue Fei's lack of horses, quickly lead the main force north, set up battle array around Zhending, and try to fight a decisive battle."

Everyone was still speechless... because what the other party said was so right, so right that it was impeccable.

At the moment, they were forced to do so by the Song army.

"But it's not easy to fight in the field?" Balisu suddenly said. "With the current morale of the army, how can we fight in the field with the Song army?"

"To restore morale, there are only a few ways, such as rewarding and appeasing people, or actively looking for opportunities to win a few small victories... Including how to explain gunpowder to the soldiers and those ignorant officers who don't read the court bulletins, which is the responsibility of the King of Wei and the Marshal." Gao Qingyi responded calmly. "My duty is nothing more than to say what the generals have long known in their hearts but dare not say."

Balisu and Wuzhu looked at each other across the campfire, both speechless. Wuzhu was even prepared to muster up his courage to appease the generals.

But at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and there was a constant whimpering in the wind, as if someone was choking.

The wind stopped, but the sobbing continued. Wushu was stunned and realized that someone was crying. He hurried to see Balisu, but Balisu looked at Wushu and showed no intention of stopping him. Wushu was completely helpless and wanted to get up to see who it was to stop him.

However, as he kept thinking in his mind, he also gave up getting up... The reason was simple, he didn't know how to comfort the generals in Hedong who had lost their families and their homes of ten years, nor did he know how to comfort the generals in Hebei who were about to lose their homes. Even if Pu Suyue wanted to cry for Gao Jingshan, he didn't know how to comfort him.

In fact, as a gust of cold wind blew again, Wuzhu sniffed at the campfire, but found that he actually wanted to cry wildly with the sound of the wind... How could he end up in this situation for no reason?
