Chapter 880

For example, during this southern expedition of the Liaoxia army, what Yelu Hongji most wanted to see was the storm of the Liao army, which would stir up the entire Songting North Shaanxi Road into a pot of porridge.

The Song army was killed and the armor was abandoned, and the Song Emperor had to bow down and ask for peace from the Great Liao.

Unfortunately, ideals are full, but reality is very skinny. After the army arrived here, it was like a hungry dog ​​that was already starving, chanting about most of the hard bones buried in the soil in Youzhou.

He didn't notice that there were bones of all sizes and even fat not far away. So Xiao Shen, as the military commander, naturally began to make up his own ideas.

He frequently used his responsibilities and power as a military supervisor to write letters to the court to report on the battle situation of the Liaoxia coalition forces, which had no achievements.

Of course, from time to time, there will be some subtexts and private goods.

Gradually, as the army continued to attack Youzhou for a long time, many civil and military officials in the court were also restless, especially those civil and military officials who had firmly supported Yelu and Luwu as the head commander.

In addition, his colleagues in the court also began to make efforts. Even at the beginning, His Majesty Yelu Hongji stood firmly on the side of his brothers.

However, as time progressed slowly, the balance of trust gradually began to tilt.

Seeing that Xiao Shen's expression returned to normal, a strategist cleared his throat and analyzed in a low voice. "This time, although the envoy sent by Your Majesty only brought oral orders, maybe when the next time, what he brought was not just oral orders, but the imperial edict that would allow Yelu and Luwu to return to Beijing and the new general to take office."

"I see that among the army, only Xiao Jianjun is the only one who can bear this task. Otherwise, we will first write a letter to Your Majesty and report to Your Majesty that the commander is incompetent, and Master Xiao is very talented and capable of commanding the army. Before the Ximen army was in chaos, after Lord Xiao came, the army's military discipline was rectified and the advance and retreat were moderate..."

Seeing these confidant subordinates expressing their loyalty here, Xiao Shen's thoughts became more and more lively.

Since my colleagues in the capital have already sent me news that His Majesty is already very dissatisfied with Yelu and Luwu's achievements, it is better to let myself, the military commander who is currently in the army, take on this important task instead of choosing the commander from the capital.

After Xiao Shen made up his mind, he returned to the back tent and started to pick up his pen and write letters to his colleagues who were familiar with him in Shangjing. Of course, he would also have to analyze his pros and cons of the current Liaoxia coalition forces trapped under the city of sorrow.

Of course, it is also indispensable. I wrote down my combat ideas and ideas, continued to restrain the Youzhou army by a small number of troops, and then drove the army to attack the hinterland of the three states...

Thousands of words leaked out of the pen, which was like a serious patient taking the medicine for leucorrhea, and it was extremely happy.

Soon, a few fast horses left the Liao army's Xidaying outside the city of Youzhou, and rushed away from the north, aiming directly at the Liao Dynasty.

After seeing that the messengers who sent the letters had left, Xiao Shen breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he summoned another confidant subordinate. "You go and find that envoy. I guess he had just arrived at the camp last night and should have been resting, and he has not left yet."

"Then, please come to my Xidaying before returning home. Xiao will definitely entertain you well, and there are some things that you should discuss with the envoy."

"Sir, don't worry, go back if you go. Sir, just wait for the good news for Sir..." The confidant nodded in understanding, then turned over and jumped onto the horse, and hurried to the Dongdaying where the coach was.

Everything was done, and Xiao Shen breathed a sigh of relief. He had to seize this opportunity tightly. Maybe he would be able to operate from time to time and become a powerful minister of the Liao Dynasty at this moment, right in front of him.

"They finally agreed?" Rendao Zongbao stood up and asked Pochao Xinde.

"Yes, Mr. Xiao finally persuaded His Highness the Prince. But tomorrow, Mr. Wang still needs to explain to His Highness the Prince in person on the military discussion that he can set off after His Highness the Prince issued a military order." Pochao Xinde nodded with relief and said with a relaxed smile.

"Then I'll feel much more at ease. As long as you can, I'm going to see what's going on in the east?" Indo-songbao took a deep breath with boxing.

"I have lost Yinzhou. If I lose Shizhou again, the situation in the southeast of Daxia will be too dangerous."

"I originally thought that after the troops of the Great Liao Dynasty arrived in these three states, they thought it was unstoppable. But who would have thought that after nearly a month of experience, the Song people controlled Yuzhou was still as safe as Mount Tai. On the contrary, the offensive of Daxia was not only repeatedly frustrated, but also lost Yinzhou, and even..." Speaking of this, Pochao Xinde glanced at Renduo Zongbao and said that it was not good.

Renda Zongbao's face was not very good, yes, no one expected that it would become such an embarrassing situation. The Liaoxia coalition, which had a steady advantage in military strength, has been unable to open up any situation in recent months.

On the contrary, the Song army, which was at a weak position in terms of military strength, frequently achieved victory after victory. Even if these victory was a despicable sneak attack, it was the Song State who took the initiative in the war.

"Now, the supply of supplies in the court has become somewhat insufficient. If the war continues to delay like this, it will definitely not be a good thing for my Daxia."

"But now, how can we break the deadlock?" Indo Zongbao raised his hand and rubbed his face, and said with a very depressed smile.

I had thought of a solution, but the problem was that I led a 100,000 army to regain Yanzhou, but ended up blocking the new city built in front of Yanzhou.

The sturdy new city made the last elite troops of Daxia difficult to advance. In addition, the series of actions of the Song army's side troops in the hinterland of Xingqing Prefecture forced him to withdraw his troops and return to the army in silence.

The only result of the battle was to accept an empty White Stone City without even a dog. This was definitely the biggest shame for Rendo Zongbao, who claimed to be a famous general of the Great Xia Dynasty, in his decades of joining the army.

Now, relying on the tenacity of Youzhou, the State of Song has caused reinforcements from all walks of life to arrive and even seize Yinzhou. It is so frustrating to watch the military advantage formed in the early stage turn into a stalemate.

"I'm afraid that this place has a lot to do with the fact that the Liao Dynasty's nobleman is so good-looking. He always feels that he commands hundreds of thousands of troops, a mere small city of Youzhou, how can he stop the troops from the way he is?"

"But the result is that the army was blocked here and could not be captured for a long time. The more resentment there was in his heart, the harder it was to give up."

After analyzing this, Renduo Zongbao smiled. "In fact, I made the same mistake. If I failed to attack Xincheng and returned to Xingqing Mansion immediately, how could the small Song army's partial army find a flaw and burn, kill and loot in the hinterland of my Daxia."

"It should have been wiped out by my official on both sides of the Yellow River."
