"That means we will still be fighting alone next time?"
"Not really. After all, the battlefield is in our Liao territory, and we can get support at any time. On the contrary, it is Su Shi. They are the invaders now, and they are a lone army."
When talking about this, Zhang Jian almost gritted his teeth.
As you say, we attack and you defend.
Why is it the other way around now?
"General Sun, don't worry. I have arranged for people to enter Xinzhou from the Song Dynasty. I believe General Xiao will receive the news soon. Then we will attack from both sides. This time we must eliminate Su Shi in the Liao Dynasty and let him
You can never go back."
Zhang Jian said confidently as if he knew what Sun Wenfu was worried about.
"That's good." Sun Wenfu felt a little relieved after hearing that there were other ways to notify Xiao Xiaoyou.
"General Xiao may return reinforcements at any time. What we have to do now is to entangle the main force of Su Shi's army. How about General Sun, can he do it?" Thinking that he only has 50,000 soldiers and horses, Su Shi has eight
With more than 10,000 troops, Zhang Jian asked somewhat unconfidently.
"If it's just entangled, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Sun Wenfu also did not give an accurate answer.
After all, he was facing Su Shi, the existence that gave the Liao people headache after headache.
"Try your best to entangle him. In short, we must not let Su Shi Zai stalk our Liao land this time, otherwise the losses will be too great."
Zhang Jian felt a wave of headache when he thought that in the past half month, all he had received was news that cities and villages had been breached.
This battle can be regarded as destroying some cities in the southern border. Even if Su Shi is killed, it is still unclear what is needed to rebuild these cities.
How much money and energy will it cost?
The Liao country was poor.
The truly wealthy people in the Liao Kingdom were the high-ranking royal family and dignitaries, but the people below were really poor.
It is not easy to get those powerful people to spend a large amount of money to rebuild the southern border.
In other words, the Liao people in the southern border will have to live in dire straits for a long time.
But think about it, this is also a matter of the future. Now we must get Su Shi out of Liaodi. This is the first goal now.
...
Xincheng.
On the periphery, one hundred thousand Liao troops were stationed.
The messenger sent by Zhang Jian finally delivered the news of Su Shi's appearance in the southern border of Liao Kingdom.
General Xiao Xiaoyou was shocked when he saw Zhang Jian's letter.
"This Su Shi is so bold and seeking death!"
With a loud shout, Xiao Xiaoyou stood up and kicked the table in front of him to the ground, and then his face turned frighteningly dark.
Qi Gui Qi, now that he can't see Su Shi, he can't do anything to him.
After seeing what was written in the letter, Zhang Jian hoped that Xiao Xiaoyou could return to Liao and kill Su Shi first. At the worst, he would have to drive him out of Liao. He had a headache.
The siege of Xincheng is about to come to an end.
Although Xincheng is also one of the big cities today, the preparations were not sufficient beforehand. The food and grass in the city should be running out soon. As long as the siege lasts for about three months, the city may not be able to conquer by then.
As long as Xincheng is broken and the Song army here is eliminated, it will be equivalent to severely damaging the troops in the northern border of the Song Dynasty. Then no one can stand in their way across the northern border of the Song Dynasty.
But at this time, danger appeared in his hometown.
Put him in a dilemma.
After sitting down again, Xiao Xiaoyou calmed down for a while, and finally sighed, "That's it, we still need to return support."
Even if Xincheng is captured, it will be captured by the three clans together. The benefits will only be shared among the three clans. How much can the Liao Kingdom get?
And now, because they have a common enemy in the Song Dynasty, the three tribes have temporarily united together. But in the end, they are still enemies.
Once there is no such strong enemy as the Song Dynasty, the three parties are likely to fall out immediately.
At that time, we did not have enough strength to deal with the Xixia and Mongolian armies.
In this settlement, what the Liao army could gain by capturing the northern border of the Song Dynasty was not as good as the losses in their own southern border.
As the saying goes, the lesser of two evils, Xiao Xiaoyou had to make the decision to come back for help.
Having made the decision, Xiao Xiaoyou said to the soldiers: "Bring the armor, let's go out."
Three-party joint account.
Refers to the Liao, Xixia and Mongolian armies.
This big tent is usually unoccupied and is only used when important matters need to be discussed.
At Xiao Xiaoyou's suggestion, all the generals of the three clans appeared in the tent.
The representative of the Liao Kingdom was General Xiao Xiaoyou.
The representative of Xixia is that there is no hidden old sound.
Mongolian army representative Zhebu.
As soon as the three parties sat down, Xiao Xiaoyou took out the letter sent by Zhang Jian.
The southern border of the Liao Kingdom was captured by Su Shi and his army. This was a very shameful thing and should not be made public.
But now that Xiao Xiaoyou needs to lead the army to evacuate, he has to give an explanation. In addition, there is no way to hide such a big thing, so Xiao Xiaoyou is shameless and just pulls this off.
A fig leaf.
"Su Shi went to the southern border of Liao Kingdom?"
When he saw the news, Zhebu frowned at first, and then felt happy in his heart.
To be honest, he was a little afraid of Su Shi from the bottom of his heart.
Look at Meng Qi. No matter whether they are facing the Liao Army or the Song Army, there is no time when they are victorious. Who will be his opponent?
But it was this Su Shi who won consecutive victories against Mengqi as soon as he appeared, forcing them to retreat to Shigu Mountain to temporarily avoid the attack.
As a result, Zhebu recently sent out many scouts to find out about Su Shi.
In such an important battle in Xincheng, Su Shi was not seen. It is impossible to say that Zhebu was not afraid at all.
He was afraid that Su Shi would suddenly appear at some point and hit him behind his back.
Although many scouts were sent out, no trace of Su Shi was found. It seems that he went to the southern border of Liao Kingdom.
When he thought that Su Shi was not here, he felt relieved, and his eyes were full of amusement at this moment.
What did Xiao Xiaoyou mean by telling them this?
Could it be that he wanted to withdraw his troops and return to aid Liao?
If so, should he stop them or let them go?
Zhebu was thinking, and so was Wu Zangguyin.
He had heard of Su Shi. When he led the troops this time, Brother Ning Ling told him that if he had the chance to meet a person named Su Shi, he must choose him.
Head.
Brother Ning Ling is the Liang King of Xixia and the future King of Xixia.
The king's orders must be obeyed. As soon as Wu Zangguyin arrived in the southern border of the Song Dynasty, he sent people around to inquire, and sure enough, traces of Su Shi were discovered. This is how Liang De led an army of 20,000 troops to attack Su Shi.
It's just a pity that in the end, the success fell short.
Liang De was defeated and returned.
This was also the only defeat of the Xixia army after entering the Song Dynasty.
Wu Zang Guyin was very angry about this matter. He also thought that when he besieged Xincheng, this Su Shi would appear. At that time, he would teach the other party to be a good man. He would tell the other party what the consequences would be if he offended the Xixia warriors.
.
Unexpectedly, he was not in the Song Dynasty, but in the Liao Kingdom.
Even if they went to the Liao Kingdom, it was of course a good thing and they could just let them go there to make trouble. But what did Xiao Xiaoyou mean when he told him the news? Did he want to withdraw his troops?
When I think of the Liao Kingdom withdrawing its troops, I would be reluctant not to hide the old news.
Speaking of which, although they are an alliance of three tribes, they do not actually have an overwhelming advantage in terms of military strength.
Even now, there are reinforcements from the Song Dynasty outside Xincheng watching eagerly.
If the Liao Kingdom withdraws its troops, it will be equivalent to losing a hundred thousand troops on its side. Who knows whether the Song Army will be ready to move at that time.
Moreover, if the Liao Kingdom's homeland was attacked, it would have nothing to do with Xixia. He wished that Su Shi would be more ruthless there.
Just as Xiao Xiaoyou thought, their tripartite alliance is too fragile. They are friends today, but they may be enemies tomorrow.
Isn't this a good opportunity to weaken the Liao Kingdom's strength?
How could Xiao Xiaoyou be able to fulfill his wish without hiding the old news?
"General Xiao, Su Shi only leads tens of thousands of troops. The Liao Kingdom has strong soldiers and horses. They won't send you back just because of this, right?"
"The siege of Xincheng is about to come to an end. If the Liao army retreats at this time, all previous efforts may be wasted. I hope General Xiao will think twice."
Wu Zangguyin spoke, showing
He expressed his attitude, that is, he did not agree with Xiao Xiaoyou's return.
"Hmph! Now Su Shi is leading the army to wreak havoc in Liao. As the general of Liao, how can he allow this to happen? The general must go back. This time I called you two here, not for discussion, but for
notify."
Xiao Xiaoyou was not willing to be outdone.
I have to say here that the generals of the Liao Kingdom still have more autonomy when they go out. At least they have more confidence than the generals of the Song Dynasty.
Such a tough answer made Wu Zangguyin feel unhappy. He simply did not look at Xiao Xiaoyou, but looked at Zhebu and asked: "What is the Mongolian army saying here?"
"The siege of Xincheng is about to come to an end. It is indeed difficult to leave at this time." Zhebu chose to side with Wu Zangguyin without thinking.
This does not mean that the Mongolian army is on good terms with Xixia. On the contrary, if Wu Zangjiu wants to leave now, Zhebu will also side with Xiao Xiaoyou.
The so-called tripartite alliance means that everyone unites together because of their interests.
If there is no benefit, then who will ally with you? If you don't turn around and give you a blow, that's a good thing.
Wu Zangguyin was very satisfied with Zhebu's answer. At this moment, when he looked at Xiao Xiaoyou, he chuckled and said, "General Xiao, you see, we don't want you to go back."
This result was not beyond Xiao Xiaoyou's expectation. "What if I must lead the army back?"
"Hahaha, then General Xiao can give it a try. Our Xixia army can go rampant in the Song Dynasty, and we can also go rampant in the Liao Dynasty."
"Well, that's right, we Mengqi also want to experience the great rivers and mountains of Liao." Zhebu chuckled, and after not hiding the old news, he also
