As soon as the cannon sound sounded outside, Song Beiyun's neck shrank, and the tent seemed to be blown by the rumbling cannon sound, and shook a few times.

The day before yesterday, he came to the front of the battle, just because now the 2,375 people of the New Army of the East China Sea have surrounded the 270,000 people of Xingqing Mansion.

Forty miles behind him was the Great Song army that was approaching, and the deterrent artillery bombardment would be carried out on the hour every day, and after a salvo, the dust would fly.

His opponent is the general brought up by Zuo Guogong, and he is also Qiaoyun's senior brother, Hong Guoan. Although he is at the same level as Song Gou, he does not dare to hook his shoulders according to the habit of the army.

"Brother Hong, this time we are here, surround but not fight. Did you know? Xiao Song poured him a cup of tea: "As for why, let me explain it to you." ”

That Hong Guoan had heard of this Song Beiyun's anecdote a long time ago, and knew that this person not only relied on flattery to get to the top position, but also his reputation in the army was far better than that of Shilin, so this Hong Guoan was also very polite: "Then everything is arranged by Lord Song." ”

Xiao Song pointed to the map in front of the table: "The Liao State wants to coerce Chang'an to coerce the public opinion to sit on the ground and raise the price, I have two sets of methods before, one of which is to attack the city together with the Liao State." But after thinking about it, it was thankless to attack Chang'an City, so it was better to drive straight into the Western Xia by surprise and besiege his capital, so that he could know who was the father of the three Central Plains Jeries. ”

Seeing that he said something interesting, Hong Guoan laughed: "Who are the three heroes of the Central Plains?" ”

"Song Jin Liao." Xiao Song pointed to the three countries that were all intent on winning the Central Plains: "These three heroes of the Central Plains, everyone thinks that my Great Song Dynasty is weak, but I look down on people with dog eyes, in fact, I am the most qualified to accumulate thick and thin hair." Okay, let's not talk too much nonsense, let's talk about the strategy of Xingqing Mansion first. ”

Speaking of this Xingqing Mansion, although the tenacity of the city is definitely not as strong as Xiangyang's magnificent fortress that has been continuously strengthened for hundreds of years, but it is also the capital of a country, and it is not as simple as imagined to break it, and looking at the meaning of Xiao Song, he does not plan to storm Xingqing Mansion like attacking Xiangyang.

"Besiege but not attack, and then wait for the arrival of reinforcements from all over Xixia, but they are all a rabble of scattered soldiers, and it is the ability of a mountain king to die, Brother Hong will defeat them, and within seven days, Xixia will beg for mercy."

Hong Guoan laughed, it was rumored in the army that as long as he followed that Song Beiyun, he would definitely be able to receive credit, and it was by no means a small credit, and the generals who coordinated during the suppression of the rebellion last year were all on the rise.

This man is by no means the kind of person who is greedy for merit and power, he is very willing to share the credit with others, but he himself has become the one who picks up people's teeth.

Hong Guoan also asked Ding Guogong why this was before, and Ding Guogong just said "It is like a person and the fire is in the furnace, and the extreme heat is about to go out", and when he saw this Song Beiyun, Hong Guoan knew that the cunning old fox Song Beiyun in the teacher's mouth was younger than he thought.

"How did Lord Song know that the Western Xia would sue for peace?"

"It's not a request for peace, it's a request for mercy." Xiao Song took a sip of tea: "Okay, let's not talk about more, Brother Hong is still busy behind, so he won't delay." ”

"Then I'll take my leave."

After Hong Guoan left, Xiao Song leaned back on a chair in the tent, pondering his next move.

Xiao Huya should also be on the front line to supervise the battle now, after the two of them separated, although Buddha Baonu said it soundly, but as far as Xiao Song understands her, this person is definitely not the kind of person who can believe anything, as if she was deceived and wanted Xiao Song to send her back to Liao, this is really going to ......

Xiao Song felt that he might be locked up as a dog, which was absolutely impossible, and there was only one way for Xiao Song to go to Liao, that is, to enter Liao as one of the members of the Song State Mission, otherwise going to Liao Country as a personal person would be a matter of going and not returning.

But one thing to say, Xiaohuya's body is really fragrant, and the perfumes developed with her taste are sold out, and the smell is quite strong.

Can...... After all, Xiao Song is a person not a fairy, no matter how fragrant the little tiger tooth is, he can't bear the double dragon playing with pearls, after that kind of exciting experience, he can maintain a pure heart for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, a new round of shelling outside disturbed Song Beiyun's meditation, he raised his eyes and was just about to summon Xiaoyu, when a personal guard suddenly came outside and bowed his hand to Song Beiyun: "Report Yunshuai, Sun Yi, the Confucian prince of Western Xia, came to visit." ”

"Summoned."

After a while, a Confucian in a green coat and a small hat walked in, first saluted Song Beiyun, and then said softly: "Good day, General Song." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Song raised his head: "The Confucian students of Western Xia, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Xiaosheng came here this time, I just want to persuade the general, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself."

Xiao Song: "??? ”

Hearing this, he probably knew what this person meant by coming, this guy was begging for death.

It literally means that he wants to die in the military camp of the Great Song Dynasty and awaken the will to fight of the Tangut people with his own blood, which is a common trick used by scholars.

As long as he dies here, the whole country of Western Xia will enter a bloody posture, and the bloody state in the war chess deduction will give the national military and civilians a 35% increase in the will to fight, and then activate the effect of all the people being soldiers.

History has had this effect until modern times, such as Liu and Zhenjun, and the result of a wave of sacrifice is the bloody rage of the whole people.

Xiao Song stood up: "Since this is the case, then I will fulfill you." ”

After saying that, he asked the scholar to be pushed out, and half an hour later, this person named Gongsun Yi was pushed out of the barracks, with a string of dried sausages around his neck, dried cowpeas in his hands, a large box of Suzhou pastries in his hands, and even half a ham.

He stood there with a blank look on his face, completely unaware of what was going on, and he was going to rush over and point at the enemy leader to humiliate him, but before he could say anything, he was pulled out and hung up with souvenirs.

Huizhou's baked cakes, Huguang's sausages, Jiangxi's dried tofu, Jiangsu's ham, hey...... It smells good.

He wanted to scold but didn't know where to start, wanted to enter the door but refused to let him in, wanted to throw away the souvenirs on his body, but it was a pity to think about it.

He was at a loss for a moment and was embarrassed on the spot, and finally he felt humiliated and threw all the souvenirs on his body to the ground.

But it wasn't long before he came back with a look of resentment, put away all the things on the ground, and walked away scolding.

Xiao Song stood at the door of the barracks and saw the appearance of the person outside, and said to the little fish beside him with a smile: "This kind of poor scholar is the most annoying, and when I see such people in the future, they will be treated like this, they can't be killed and can't be driven away, so take something and stuff it for them." ”

"My lord, not everyone will want it."

"Of course." Xiao Song rubbed Xiao Yu's head and said, "But after all, someone will want it, and over time, people will think that these people are just begging for food and are looked down upon." The reason why people are terrible is that they are indiscriminate. ”

"Lord Song......"

Xiao Yu really feels that Song Beiyun is a bit unfathomable more and more, he will always use some strange tricks to resolve some things that are difficult for others to settle, if this scholar is to let himself deal with it, then it is good to kill it.

But if it is really killed, it will be in great trouble as Lord Song said, not only will Xixia not be able to take it, but he will also be beaten back.

"By the way, I'll give you a task, you return to Jinling immediately and tell Zhao Xing. Just said that he was ready to send an envoy to Liao to divide the spoils, and let Yan Shu go this time. ”

"Command!"

Xiao Yu soon set off, while Xiao Song continued to drink tea in the tent and waited for the next round of shelling.

At this moment, the soldiers and civilians in Xingqing Mansion were already anxious, and the Song State besieged but did not attack, but the thunder rumbling on time every hour made the people in the whole city dare not gasp, and the strong tremor continued to knock on their hearts, making the eyes of men, women and children in the city full of horror.

As for Chang'an City, which was besieging the city at the same time, it was relatively more intense, although the Liao State also had artillery, but compared to the artillery of the new army in the East China Sea, they were only worthy of being called burning sticks, but even this kind of burning sticks were by no means idle to resist.

So Chang'an City crumbled.

Buddha Baonu is standing outside Chang'an City in armor at this moment, she is in the name of the Son of Heaven, this is the tradition of the Khitan people, because in the Liao country that believes in warriors, only the most powerful people can be qualified to become kings.

Looking at the gunsmoke in front of Chang'an City and the surrounding 100,000 Liao soldiers, Buddha Baonu's face did not have half a wave, but he lightly ordered his subordinates to take Chang'an before dusk.

Back at the barracks of the Son of Heaven, Buddha Baonu took out a candied fruit from Song Gou from the wooden jar and put it in his mouth, turned his head to look at the document that had just been drafted, and chuckled: "One city for one person, there is no more cost-effective deal in the world." ”

Saying that, she picked up the document and revised it with a red pen, and sent it back for the next person to revise it slightly, and then said to the accompanying strategists: "If according to Mr. Wang's opinion, the Liao State recaptures Luoyang and replaces Chang'an, will the Song State agree?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is a conspiracy. The minister sent someone to carefully study the Song Beiyun, and it is indeed a rare talent, but the minister is worried that His Majesty is not easy to control. However, if Chang'an is replaced, Emperor Song will never refuse, this time it can be said that the Liao State is a bloody cut, but if you can get a good minister, it is also worth it. ”

"Hmm...... If you want to say that it is a little difficult to control, I am afraid it is a little difficult. ”

"Your Majesty may not be familiar with that Song Beiyun, I have asked some people who often come into contact with him, and everyone said that this son behaves perversely and strangely, and his words and deeds are good, and I heard that he is greedy for money and lustful, and I am afraid that the court will not tolerate him."

At the mention of lust, Buddha Baonu was suddenly angry, and slammed it on the table: "Fake! He's a fart! It's just a bastard who likes to take advantage of small things. ”
