Chapter 895

Such a person actually served as the strategic appeasement envoy of Shaanxi Road, which surprised Xiao Shen at that time, but soon, Xiao Shen, who was well versed in conspiracy theories, understood Song Ting's idea.

Grand Secretary Su's mouth was so powerful that it made all the civil and military officials in the court unhappy and often argued with him in the court. But he was deeply favored by the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, the actual power-oriented person of Song Ting.

In order to protect this Grand Secretary Su, because of the war between Shaanxi Road and Xixia, Su Dongpo was thrown to Shaanxi Road as the strategic pacifier, and sent Han Zhongyan, who was proficient in military strategies, to assist him.

As a result, he was lucky enough to win a battle. After that, the stupid Xixia king actually regarded the Liang army, who was still in control of military power, as an enemy to be defeated as soon as he came to the court.

The result is naturally self-evident. Liang Yibi, who had been in charge of the Western Xia power for so many years with his sister Xiao Liang, immediately turned against him for his own wealth and life, led more than 100,000 troops to surrender to Song Ting, offered the land of the two states, and attacked with the Song army, and captured Yanzhou again.

And all of this happened just at the right time. As the coach, Su Dongpo did nothing and even made the impressive Taotian achievements.

But in fact, these skills have nothing to do with Su Dongpo’s half a copperpin. According to the information obtained by the Liao Kingdom from the Song Kingdom, this Su Xiangye was more obedient to the ideas of his generals.

To put it nicely, it is good at accepting advice, but to put it badly, it is soft-hearted and has no ability.

At least in the eyes of Xiao Shen and many ministers of the Liao Kingdom and Xia Kingdom, Su Dongpo was just the one who took advantage of his contributions.

Therefore, when Xiao Shen heard that Su Dongpo personally led his army to aid, he was not surprised but happy.

#####

"It's actually the famous Grand Secretary Su, who is famous all over the world. Good, very good. If it were Han Zhongyan, I would have to hesitate. Since the Grand Secretary Su is here, I must meet for a while..."

Not only did Xiao Shen's tone become relaxed, but the many generals present also showed disdain and smiled happily.

Disdain is naturally given to Su Dongpo, and he smiles happily, and naturally he smiles happily for the upcoming victory.

Compared with the Liao army with a very full morale, the Song army was also very strong. Su Dongpo, who had already arrived at the ancient city of Wuyan with the ship, was standing on the wall of Wuyan ancient city, looking at the distance of more than 200,000 Liao soldiers and horses.

Looking at the camp tents that stretched to the sky and the smoke and dust swelling under the sun, even though Su Dongpo, who had seen many battles, was still a little uneasy at this moment.

After all, in the previous several battles, he was in the rear and almost never had the opportunity to be in front of the battle. But now, after receiving the news that the Liao commander was driving his troops south, Su Dongpo, who was stationed on the east bank of Wuding River, knew that he should take action.

Finally, before the Liao and Xia coalition forces gathered in the ancient city of Wuyan, they crossed the Wuding River, joined forces with the defenders inside and outside the city, and set up a formation based on the ancient city of Wuyan.

Zong Ze, who had been following Su Dongpo, naturally noticed the worry that appeared on Su Dongpo's face, and couldn't help but smile and point at the Liaoxia Allied Forces camp. "Sir, in the eyes of Xiaguan, this Liaoxia Allied Forces is really not worth worrying."

"Oh? What does Rulin mean?" Su Dongpo's eyes swept around and saw that the generals were scattered around the city. He did not notice this. He lowered his voice and asked.

"There is a saying in "The Debate of War in the "Zuo Zhuan: The Tenth Year of Duke Zhuang", Su Xiang must have heard it. 'War is courage. One fight, one blow, and then declines, and three times. He exhausts me, so he defeats it..." Zong Ze looked at the more than 200,000 Liao and Xia coalition forces, and his expression was like a butcher looking at the lamb to be slaughtered.

"When the Liaoxia coalition first arrived, the army was fierce and looked like it was sweeping away the mountains and rivers. But who would have thought that hundreds of thousands of troops were in the small Youzhou, and Lord Xiao Wang used the power of a city to stop this tiger and wolf army for more than a month?"

"The message from Lord Xiao Wang clearly shows that this Liaoxia coalition has lost its spirit after more than a month of fierce battle, and there are many internal conflicts. If it weren't for the strict suppression of the Liao prince, he would have been in chaos long ago."

"Now they change their coaches at the last minute. As the new coach, they will definitely be able to slap the generals they trust. In this way, they will have a new gap..."

"In contrast, since last year, our great Song Hu Ben has ruled against Xixia and attacked the three states. He has been invincible in the battle and defeated all the attacks. Even if the Liaoxia coalition forces arrived fiercely, Xiao Wang used the power of a city to block the enemy for more than a month. In the east, Su Xiang, you can easily take Yinzhou and the west. In the west, General Zhe lightly followed him, went deep into the hinterland of Xixia, raided his royal tomb, and destroyed his warehouse city."

"With one rises and the other falls, the morale of our Song Dynasty is almost at its peak. In contrast, the Liaoxia coalition forces have many internal conflicts, the Western Xia and Liao Kingdom have different goals, and all tribes have selfish intentions. It would be fine if there was a powerful commander, but they would still change their commanders in the last battle... Such an army is stronger than the tumultuous people in front of our Song Dynasty."

Zong Zezhi's words quickly attracted the generals scattered around him. This analysis really made the generals agree with each other, nodded, and admired the middle-aged civil servant more and more.

It is really a perfect match for being able to see the situation between the enemy and us so thoroughly. Although Zong Ze is a civil servant, he has great insights in military strategy.

Even the generals present were impressed, and Su Dongpo could hear it as if he was drinking old wine, which was very delicious.

Seeing these generals beside you who were rubbing their hands, and those soldiers not far away who were still able to chat and laugh, Su Dongpo also felt that there should be no big problem in this battle.

"As the saying goes, water comes and earth comes and soldiers come and stop it. Since the Liao Kingdom is rude in morality and joins the people of Xixia to invade our Song territory, then I, the Great Song Hu Ben, should be retaliated with my color."

"I hope you all will push your strength and stop the strong enemy from under the ancient city of Wuyan."

"No!" All the generals took the order generously.

Hundreds of thousands of troops will take the Wuyan Ancient City as the center and launch the most powerful battle since the Battle of Tanyuan, known in history as the Battle of Wuyan Ancient City.

Starting the next day, the Liao and Xia coalition forces began to launch a tentative attack on the Wuyan ancient city, while the Song army relied on the Wuyan ancient city and launched a tenacious counterattack.

The two sides began a fierce battle in the area of ​​Wuyan Ancient City, and the war was very fierce. Fifty miles west of Youzhou City, the 50,000 elite Song army had quietly arrived here, staring at the Liaoxia coalition outside Youzhou City.
