Different from the shameless and arrogant Daliao Pishi Army guards behind him, Zhang Rongtao, the leader of this group, was careful with a hint of flattery.

The standard configuration of the Liao envoys to the Song Dynasty was usually a Han officer from the South Court and a Liao officer from the North Court.

When facing the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty also had to pay attention to some etiquette to show its superiority. Therefore, the Han officials who were sent as envoys were basically extremely talented and learned. Even if they were thrown into the Hanlin Courtyard of the Song Dynasty, they would never fail.

Share.

As for going to Liaodong, Goryeo and other places, the Liao Kingdom didn't have the patience to do so. Basically, they just went there with shining knives. And the envoys' tone of work was almost the same.

Do you agree or not?

Don’t agree? Fuck your mother! Pull out the knife and chop!

Do you agree or not?

Agreed. Okay, everything will be fine.

But this method will definitely not work in the Song Dynasty. In terms of military strength, the Song Dynasty is definitely weaker, but how much weaker do you think it is? I can’t say. Anyway, in the past few hundred years, everyone has come and gone, and the Liao Dynasty

There were many times when he took advantage, but there were also times when he was made extremely embarrassed by the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, respect is determined based on their basic strength.

Without strength, nothing you say is good.

With strength, you can say that shit smells good.

Now, Xiao Ding's Western Army received the same treatment from the Liao Kingdom as the Song Dynasty court.

Travel etiquette is very high standard.

Zhang Songtao is the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the South Courtyard. Yelvdong of the North Courtyard who is accompanying him is from Meng's father's clan and is now a general of the Pishi Army. He is famous for his bravery in Linhuang Mansion and is also famous in the Liao Kingdom.

general.

Xiao Ding was treated like this, of course, because this year, he faced two behemoths, the Liao and the Song Dynasty, and achieved consecutive major victories.

In Hengshan, the Song army was defeated twice, and two senior generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Dan and Li Du, fell on the battlefield. These two were not silver-like wax spearheads. They were the few remaining members of the Song Dynasty who had been tested by countless wars.

A general with experience, ability and bravery.

In Montenegro, the Liao army was defeated twice. In the first battle, the Beizubu tribe, a vassal tribe of the Liao state, was almost wiped out. Tens of thousands of people became prisoners of the Western army. In the second battle, the army led by Yelvhuan, the governor of Xijing Road, was defeated.

, fled thousands of miles, extremely embarrassed, and the Beizu Bu tribe was completely flat this time. Under the leadership of the big leader Mogusi, they surrendered to the Western Army. If they did not surrender, the Beizu Bu tribe would probably be lost in the long river of history.

disappeared.

Liao people admire the strong. As long as you show corresponding abilities, you will get corresponding respect from him.

Zhang Yuanhan smiled at the door of the hall and watched Zhang Songtao walk in with a scroll in his hand.

Xiao Ding didn't show up at all.

Before Zhang Songtao could speak, Yelvrun was already furious. Holding his hand on the handle of the knife, he said angrily: "His Majesty the Emperor of Liao's imperial decree is here, where is Xiao Ding?"

Zhang Yuan laughed, looked at Yelv Chun, and said, "General Manager Xiao, is he a subordinate of your Daliao army?"

Zhang Songtao smiled awkwardly, glanced at Yelu Chun, and thought to himself, you are a scammer. Didn't I tell you on the way here? Xiao Ding and this group are not those people from the Southern Dynasty. If they pissed them off, they can really draw a knife and chop them.

human.

On the contrary, in the Song Dynasty court, no matter how rude you were, people would tolerate it and get in trouble, but here, there was no such thing as etiquette.

The key point is that it is extremely likely that someone will pull out a knife and chop you down, and you will die in vain in the end, and you will end up being accused of failing to do things well and ruining the important affairs of the court.

With a choking sound, Yelu Chun half-unsheathed his sword and said angrily: "How dare Xiao Ding'an be so rude? Call him to come and receive the order immediately? Otherwise, our million-strong Liao army will destroy his body."

Zhang Yuan's face suddenly darkened. He snorted. He clasped his hands on his chest and looked up at the sky. His nostrils were pointing towards the sky. At the same time, behind him, a party warrior stood up.

But he was a rare double-sword general. He put his hands on the two sabers at his waist, his lips were slightly raised, he stared at Yelv Chun, and said in a clear voice: "Do you want to die?"

Yelu Chun's eyes widened, and he was about to step forward, but Zhang Songtao took a step forward and blocked him: "General Yelu Chun, I am the chief envoy, please be patient, do you want to ruin His Highness's important affairs?

"

Yelu Chun suppressed the anger in his heart and finally stopped fighting with the opponent. However, his eyes widened and he looked at each other fiercely with the general opposite.

"The general manager controls hundreds of thousands of people, governs thousands of miles of territory, and has millions of people under his command. He has to deal with many things every day. It is inevitable that he will be busy with official affairs." Zhang Songtao smiled and found the steps for himself. Looking at Zhang Yuan opposite, he rolled his eyes.

Although he looked very contemptuous in his heart, he was indeed just a poor scholar with no etiquette at all.

Looking at this, I'm afraid there is no need to expect the other party to do anything like setting up the incense table, bathing and changing clothes, and bowing down to receive the order. Fortunately, this time I only need to convey the meaning.

Thinking of the imperial edict in his hand, Zhang Songtao couldn't help but feel a little sad.

I think back then, the owner of Xingqing Mansion, Li Xu, tried his best to meet the Emperor of Liao Dynasty, and what he obtained was the official position in the imperial edict he was holding in his hand, King of Daxia. The position was obtained.

However, before Li Xu could sit down, he was beaten by Xiao Ding until he had no way to go to heaven, no way to earth, and finally died tragically in a foreign land.

And the current Xiao Ding not only has no respect for Daliao at all, but also fights violently, causing chaos in Daliao's Xijing Road and Shangjing Road. However, the position of King of Daxia was given to him by himself.

He came to the door, and looking at it like this, I'm afraid it's not surprising to others.

Zhang Yuan finally stopped pointing his nostrils at the other party, stretched out a hand and said: "Well, Mr. Zhang is a sensible person. Just give me this imperial edict. Our manager will make time to see you later."

of."

The rudeness reached the extreme, but Zhang Songtao still handed the imperial edict to Zhang Yuan with a smile.

Zhang Yuan casually tucked the imperial edict under his ribs as if it were a roll of papyrus. Yelvchun's eyelids twitched. Seeing Zhang Songtao smiling and clasping his fists to bid farewell to him, Yeluchun turned around angrily and left.

"Wait, wait, one day I will tear you apart alive!" Yelu Chun muttered something.

Xiao Ding was in the main hall, watching through the window as the envoy from Liao turned around and left, with a sneer on his lips.

"I'm quite willing!" Zhang Yuan walked into the hall, shook off the scroll, and smiled at Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding, who received the imperial edict, threw it in the corner and said calmly: "I want to be the king, but do I need Yelu Hongde to seal it? I want to be a fool, who can do anything to me?"

"The old saying of courtesy first and then fighting, the Liao people are actually very good at it!" Zhang Yuan said disdainfully.

"It's not that you should be polite first and then use troops. I'm afraid it's just to make us relax!" Xiao Ding said: "Yelüxi dispatched troops and generals. Who can hide such a large-scale use of troops?"

"It's not a secret, I am determined to win this time!" On the ground of the spacious hall, there was actually a huge sand table, with countless mountains, rivers, cities, villages and roads made lifelike. Zhang Yuan walked up to Xiao Dingshen.

Gazing at the picturesque mountains and rivers at his feet, he said softly: "General manager, this time is much more dangerous than the last one. The Song people are also mobilizing troops and horses on a large scale. Hengshan is about to face another war."

Xiao Ding sighed: "I wanted to live in peace for two years, but now it seems that this year will only last one year. After the autumn harvest, the war will start again."

"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to swallow us up before we had a firm foothold. Yelu Xi wanted to compete with Yelu Jun for the throne of the Liao Kingdom, and wanted to step on us to ascend to the throne. The two sides hit it off right away." Zhang Yuandao: "So we became the best targets.

.”

Xiao Ding sat next to a large mountain. The model of the mountain was almost as high as Xiao Ding's shoulders. He pointed to his side and motioned for Zhang Yuan to sit down as well. Although it was not the first time he saw the warriors standing at the entrance of the palace,

Such a scene is still shocking.

The country is at your feet, but there are always only a few people who are qualified to guide it.

This hall was only opened for the second time since the manager moved in and spent more than half a year building it.

When it was officially opened for the first time, it was the last time when the Twelve Army Divisions were designated and the Twelve Army Lords were entrusted. They stood at the door of the hall and witnessed the Twelve Army Lords standing in their respective positions. That scene,

It really makes every warrior feel excited. Maybe after some years, he will be qualified to stand in one of these positions!

When Zhang Yuan sat down, he had the winding Yellow River at hand. He stretched out his hand to stir in the water, and some water splashes popped up with his fingers.

"General manager, how do you plan to fight this battle?"

Xiao Ding raised his eyes and took a deep breath: "Attack from both sides, of course, we have to catch the weaker one first, defeat him first, and then turn around to deal with the stronger one."

"I think so too! But this time the Song people are commanded by Zhang Chao. This person is experienced and it's hard to let him be fooled!" Zhang Yuan exhaled a breath: "The most annoying thing is this, no matter it is

The Song people are still the Liao people. They can lose countless times, but we cannot lose once. If we lose once, we will lose everything."

"Zhang Chao is very experienced, but he can keep his composure while others may not be able to keep his composure. He can endure it, but others may not be able to endure it!" Xiao Ding said with a smile: "Erlang told me that there is a war.

, the right time, the right place, and the right people, sometimes you have to consider the temperaments of the people in charge on both sides. In the same battle, if the people commanding have different personalities, it is very likely that the fight will end in two different ways!"

"Zhang Chao is a bit difficult to deal with!" Zhang Yuandao.

"But the person in charge of the Song Kingdom is not Zhang Chao, but the one from Bianliang!" Xiao Ding laughed, "I already have some ideas for this battle!"

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "I don't have as many battles as the general manager. I wonder how the general manager plans to strategize this time?"

Xiao Ding stood up and walked among the picturesque mountains and rivers, saying: "North, I'm going to lure the enemy deeper. Yelvxi is coming to the capital. In view of Yelvhuan's defeat, Yelvxi must be cautious this time, so I will

Defend step by step, retreat all the way, and pull away the opponent's logistics supplies!"

"Cut off the opponent's food route with a ranger?"

"The Liao cavalry is not inferior to ours, and the opponent will also guard against this move. It is difficult to achieve any big results!" Xiao Ding said: "I plan to lure Yeluxi to Xingqing Mansion and then wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop."

Zhang Yuan was surprised: "Retreat all the way to the outside of Xingqing Mansion?"

Xiao Ding nodded: "In this process, I have to deal with Zhang Chao first!"

Zhang Yuan suddenly realized: "In the north, we were beaten back by the Liao people. The Bianliang man will definitely push Zhang Chao to advance in large numbers. However, the elite of the Song army have been damaged again and again in the past two years. Their vitality has long been severely damaged. With experience,

There are not many generals left. Once Zhang Chao’s slow advance strategy is interrupted due to the rapid progress of the Liao people and they have to risk going deep, then we will have a chance to gather them and annihilate them!"

Xiao Ding nodded and said: "That's it! Completely defeat the Song army, turn around, and gather under the Xingqing Mansion City to annihilate the Liao army!"

Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment and said: "It's too dangerous, Chief. If you are not careful, everything will be lost! And if we have to retreat, I'm afraid many people will not be able to see the situation clearly and think that we are really in trouble."
