"Boom!" Xiao Yanshou kicked the old case in front of him, and shouted at the dozen generals facing him in anger, "Who can tell me why the Jurchens bypassed our defense line and got into the rear, and also ambushed our supplies. These supplies not only contain food, but also supplies such as weapons and other supplies that the Song Dynasty supported us. For such a huge loss, who will take this responsibility?"

Seeing Xiao Yanshou's anger, the generals below were all bowing their heads, and no one dared to answer the question. After all, this time the Jurchens blocked the convoy of transporting materials. On the one hand, the Jurchens were able to get through their defense line, which shows that the Jurchens are very familiar with their defense line, and on the other hand, they can also learn about the material transportation team, which is a highly confidentiality in the army. These two things all indicate an important thing, that is, someone among them leaked the news, and the level of this person is not low, otherwise it would be impossible to come into contact with such a confidential matter, and it is even possible that one of them would be one of them.

Xiao Yanshou was so angry this time that he was so out of control. However, after he was angry for a long time, no one spoke up. Instead, there were a few guys with dissatisfaction on his face, which made him angry and helpless, because the generals under him were not in the same mind as him. Most of them were forced into Yelu Yixin. Usually, he could only force his command, but he would lose his chain at critical moments. There were even guys from big families who came from purely gilded, and they were not capable of being very arrogant. For example, those who were not convinced are these guys now.

"Gogun~, get out of here!" Xiao Yanshou was upset when he saw such subordinates, but he had no choice but to do anything to them, because if he dared to touch these people, it would probably cause greater trouble. This is also the main reason why he had used military service to the Jurchens for three years and had almost no great achievements. It is most appropriate to use a sentence from later generations to describe it, that is, he is not afraid of opponents like gods and teammates like pigs. It is not easy for him to barely suppress the Jurchens with these pig teammates. As for destroying the Jurchens, it is simply a delusion, unless Yelu Jun suddenly wakes up and kills Yelu Yixin, so that Xiao Yanshou will no longer have any constraints.

Seeing Xiao Yanshou driving them away, some of the dozen generals in the camp were as if they were pardoned, some turned around and left with cold faces, and some even snorted coldly, muttered a few words in a low voice and left. Although they were very hard behind them, they were still mainly Xiao Yanshou in the army. If they really annoyed him, their lives would not be easy, so although some people were dissatisfied, they still left the camp honestly.

The other generals left, but Xiao Dilie did not leave. He then stepped forward and advised: "Dad, don't ruin your body because of these people. After all, things have been discovered. No matter how angry you are, it's useless. You should find a way to deal with this matter!"

But what surprised Xiao Dilie was that Xiao Yanshou sighed at this time and said, "Di Lie, although losing these supplies will cause the court to blame, the entire Liao Dynasty cannot find someone to replace me now. So although this matter will be a little troublesome, it will not have much impact on me, but I am worried about another thing!"

"One other thing?" Xiao Dilie said in confusion when he heard this. Since the materials were robbed, he had been worried about whether the court would punish his father. But now that his father said he would not have any trouble, since that is the case, what else is there to worry about?

Seeing his son's puzzled expression, Xiao Yanshou couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Although Xiao Dilie is a natural general, he is still a little young after all. It is normal to not consider some things, so he said, "Dilie. What I am worried about is that the Jurchens have received so much supplies this time, including food and weapons that they urgently need. With these, they can recruit more Jurchen tribes to join the Wanyan tribe. In this way, their strength may soar. Next time they send troops, they may not attack, but go to war directly with our army."

Hearing his father's words, Xiao Dilie couldn't help but frown slightly. After the last battle in Kaizhou City, he found that some of the captured Jurchens did not come from the Wanyan tribe, but another loose Jurchen alliance, the western part of the Jurchen alliance, and the two sides were seeking cooperation. This shows that the Wanyan tribe is already consciously expanding its strength. Now after getting those supplies, it is like a tiger's wing. In addition, there are also many Jurchens in the mountains and forests. Some Jurchens only need to give them food, and they will help you kill and set fire. Therefore, as long as the Wanyan tribe is willing to give away some food, it is almost no difficulty in recruiting people.

"Father, Aguda has robbed so many supplies, and he will definitely not be able to act like the wind like before. If we take the initiative to attack them now, we might be able to achieve extraordinary achievements!" At this time, Xiao Dilie suddenly flashed his mind and said, "The reason why the Jurchens are difficult to destroy is that in addition to the reasons why the Liao army is themselves, the Jurchens are one person and many horses, and they are familiar with the mountains and forests. They can be said to be elusive and escaped thousands of miles away without a single blow, and they do not give the Liao army a chance to fight head-on.

Hearing his son's suggestion, Xiao Yanshou also showed a heart-warming expression on his face. However, after thinking for a while, he smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Epi Lie, your method is very good. If I have an elite soldier of about 10,000 people in my hand, I can try it. But look at our camp, most of them are arranged by Yelu Yixin, and many of them are even more vulnerable. The soldiers under him are even more relaxed and vulnerable. They usually use the camp to defend against the Jurchens. If they leave the camp and fight in a field, there are probably many people who are afraid of death ready to escape before the war begins."

When he said this, Xiao Yanshou was also full of bitterness. He had tried to rectify military discipline before, but at critical moments, he would be interrupted and even been criticized by the court several times, saying that he was arbitrarily oppressing his subordinates in the army. For this reason, he had also written to Yelu Jun several times to explain the various shortcomings of the army. Unfortunately, he was always in the sea and had no reply at all. Over time, he had to give up.

Xiao Dilie was both annoyed and helpless when he heard his father's words. He also knew his father's difficulties. He walked back and forth a few steps back and forth in the storm of anger before suddenly saying to Xiao Yanshou: "Father, you have exhausted your efforts for the Liao Dynasty, but there are people in the court who stumbling on you everywhere. Your Majesty only cares about his own pleasure and ignores your suggestions at all. What are you going to protect such a foolish and insulting person?"

"Stop! Is this what a minister should say?" Xiao Yanshou glared at his son's words, but then he said a little disheartened Xiao Dilie, "Dilie, what I support is not a certain Emperor of the Great Liao, but the country that our Great Liao finally obtained. Thinking about the former Tang Dynasty, the Han people were extremely strong, and our Khitans were just a small tribe that raised horses for the Tang Dynasty. Later, the Tang Dynasty declined, and our Khitan ancestors went through a lot of hardships to build such a vast territory. I really can't bear to let the Great Liao Dynasty fall into the hands of others!"

Xiao Dilie actually couldn't understand his father's feelings for the Liao Kingdom, but he knew that he could not persuade his father to abandon Liao and join Song no matter what, so he could only sigh helplessly in the end.

As the main general, Xiao Yanshou naturally had to bear the main responsibility. In addition, Yelu Yixin's one-man ceremony was also in the court, so an envoy soon rushed from Shangjing to the military camp, then scolded Xiao Yanshou and demoted his official position several levels, but in the end he remained in his original position, because as Xiao Yanshou himself said, there was no general in the huge Liao Kingdom, especially when facing the cunning Jurchens, no one was qualified except him. Therefore, even if Yelu Yixin had long wanted to kill Xiao Yanshou, he still did not dare to act rashly.

Xiao Yanshou did not take the court's reprimand to him, and the promotion of official positions was even more worth mentioning to him. So after sending away the envoy from the court, he immediately began to urge the rear to prepare food and grass weapons again. After all, the materials that should have been sent to the camp were robbed last time, resulting in the lack of materials in the camp now, and they must be replenished in time.

The place where Xiao Yanshou and his friends are stationed is near the Huntong River in the northeast of Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo. The Huanglong Mansion is a hundred miles west. In the past, Wanyan's troops used Huanglong Mansion as their main attack direction. However, after Xiao Yanshou defeated the attack of the Jurchens in Huanglong Mansion several times, Aguda began to move eastward and began to frequently harass the vicinity of Liaoyang Prefecture, which forced Xiao Yanshou to lead his troops here. Although there is no city to defend here, it is backed by Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, and the supplies supported by the Song Dynasty in Chenzhou City, which is close to the sea to the south of Liaoyang Prefecture, are all there, so the transportation of materials is more convenient than that of Huanglong Mansion, and it is considered that there must be gains and losses.

However, what Xiao Yanshou did not expect was that the people he sent to Liaoyang Prefecture to supervise the transportation of materials had been delayed. Even if it was difficult to mobilize materials, the people he urged would send people to explain it. However, this time the people sent to Liaoyang Prefecture were like mud cows entering the sea, which made Xiao Yanshou a little worried.
