The retreating pirate army thunderstormed like waves of cheers and shouts to the camp of the King of Liao, which still made the King of Liao and the others tremble in terror, for fear that the pirates would turn their faces and suddenly come back.

When the pirates come again, they don't have any tricks.

Unarmed, it is really completely waiting to be slaughtered piece by piece and cut down and easily killed. Dying is truly a grievance.

Fortunately, the pirates did retreat, and the farther and farther they went, without any sign of turning back, and finally disappeared completely from view, as if they had never been there.

Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi finally breathed a long sigh of relief in the uncontrollable trembling,

Looking around the wealth-free side and the four fields, my dignified king of the Heavenly Dynasty was actually robbed of his family and wealth like a humble people, and he had almost nothing?

It's a fact but it always feels so unreal, it's like experiencing a very real nightmare, suspected of being in a dream......

How he wished it was really just a nightmare.

The nobles, civil and military bureaucrats who were lucky not to be slaughtered as a chicken under the pirate butcher's knife slowly exhaled the breath that had been held for a long time, and the heart that had been hanging was finally slowly relaxed, but when I thought of the shrewd pig-headed colleagues who died in front of me, the terrifying scene of the head chopping off was still shaking and playing in front of me.

Shudder.

"Well, it's good to be alive...... The pirates are really as trustworthy as ever in national strategic affairs, and don't take the opportunity to put it all together...... I don't know if it's stupidity or ......."

"Shhhh Be careful. Laugh at the pirates, in case the pervasive pirates know about it and kill it in a rage, you and I are only afraid of ......"

"yes, pirates are so vicious and weird. More terrible than the Jurchen beasts. The danger has not been removed, so it's better not to talk about it for a while......"

Some have a stiff neck: "What are you afraid of?" If the pirate dares to come again, Lao Tzu will fight with him, and it is nothing more than a fight to the death. My generation of noble and elite warriors of the Great Khitan are not afraid to fight to the death......"

The bureaucrats and aristocrats did not want to fight and ridicule this kind of shameless guy who forced gold on his face: "You are so brave and fearless, what did you go to do earlier?" Why didn't you defend ....... desperately before?"

That kind of attack will appear to be cowardly and afraid of death, not a good Khitan man, but he also disdains his performance or is suspicious in his heart, for fear that there will be pirates lurking in the camp to target him and dare not comply at all, so he collectively tacitly ignores the guy who is an afterthought, and makes him embarrassed and isolated with indifference and silence.

Resurrected, the spirit came, and the guy who wanted to answer the call and continued to brag about himself was not stupid, and when he saw that his performance was counterproductive, he shut up with humor.

But from the king of Liao to the officials below, the Liao people gritted their teeth with hatred in their hearts, and scolded the pirates for being too greedy, shameless, and cruel....... Abducted our mother-in-law and children...... How will we live a life of prosperity and pleasure in the future? is reduced to a beggar, how can he still have the former scenery, dignity, dignity and wealth......

But no matter what, the head of this master is still there, and his life is finally saved without danger.

With life, everything is possible, and there is hope.

The top priority is not to hate pirates, that is useless, nor to try to quickly transfer back the army to regain everything, it is impossible to do, to focus on how to face the political turmoil after the disaster, the power structure of the great change, the politics of Daliao must be reshuffled! Even the question of whether the emperor can sit on his seat is doubtful......

Of course, the first thing to do is to do everything in your power to grab the pirates to get the rice salt.

We have to eat now, and we will soon have to spend the winter, and this cruel reality alone requires all the competition for food.

What's more, whoever has the most food has the most right to speak......

What is he scolding and thinking here, Zhao Yue doesn't know, he can analyze and guess a rough idea, but he doesn't waste his energy with that brain, and he doesn't care what the reaction of the Liao side will be.......

What is projected in his mind is: when he was a child, the Liao people entered Cangzhou every year to fight the grass valley and wantonly tortured and killed Cangzhou babies' babies just for fun; It was the bloody and violent and arrogant actions of the Jin army in history to destroy the Song Dynasty...... It was the same tyrannical arrogance that the Manchus entered and occupied China; It is those selfish and murderous warlords of the Republic of China who fight each other, and the Chinese kill themselves desperately to weaken their own country and nation; It is even more tragic and heroic in the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the smug face of the foreign powers who wantonly choked China's neck and all kinds of vicious and shameless methods of tyranny........

This national humiliation and anger are held in the heart, and they can't be vented to their heart's content in the Liao State, and they have to keep the Liao Dynasty and the Jin State to kill each other, so the emotions that have been held back for nearly a thousand years will inevitably be vented on the head of the Western Xia who is about to perish.

There are fierce battles to be fought here, and there are also large-scale massacres to be carried out......

Next, Zhao Yue took over the military affairs of teaching Yanyun Liao.

After robbing Yanshan Mansion, the army quickly marched westward to carry out a deeper sweep and loot on this side of Yunzhong...... And the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, who almost perfectly completed the task of interception. Du Yan withdrew from the commander-in-chief position, and after communicating with Zhao Yue, he immediately drove west with 50,000 cavalry according to the strategic plan in advance, and rushed to Western Xia first.

If you say that you want to destroy the summer, you really want to destroy it. It's not a lip service deception.

Zhao Lao Er told Liao that this time he was using the road to destroy Xia, and he would definitely do it immediately.

It is to make the Liao State, as well as the Jin Song Dynasty...... Let's see how pirates really do what they say, and how powerful they push everything.

Let's see who wants to underestimate and dare to provoke us in the future.

Xiao Jiasui, chief of the general staff of the Northern Army who went north to Dading Mansion in Liao, used the advantages of artillery fire and other advantages to block the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Liao Army stationed in Dading Mansion in the city, unable to break out of the city and the melee, let alone break through the encirclement, and fell into a simple beating and waiting for death.

Successfully collected the Liao army in Dadingfu, and on the way to and from the Liao people who received the results of the guerrillas in the north, the 20,000 pirate cavalry drove more than one horse to escort the results of the battle and quickly withdrew to Yanyun happily.

As for the Liao guerrillas who fought hard abroad but were still happy, they would be shocked to hear the bad news at home, and it was not for the pirates to bother with it.

By the time the Liao army rushed back from the far north and northwest to gather into a large army with the strength to fight the pirate army, the daylily was cold, and everything was irreparable.

It is believed that with Xiao Gan's wisdom, he will not let the Liao Expeditionary Force rush back in vain, but will encourage the guerrillas to gather their strength and turn to intensify the looting of the rich grassland miscellaneous hus to urgently replenish the fatal shortage of livestock and other resources.

Among the many generals who are out of the field, there are also many people who are not short of brains, and they will do it consciously.

After all, the Liao army of Jin Guo has almost robbed it, and the place that cannot be harmed is that he does not dare to go at all, and no matter how much he robs the stranded Jin country, there is no big oil and water, and the Jin army is too terrible, more crazy and ferocious than before and is more and more good at assault and interception, the Liao guerrillas can't resist this kind of fight and fright, and the Jin country is no longer a place to stay, so they can only wisely evacuate the Jin country and turn to attack Zahu.

How to quickly and effectively inform all the guerrillas outside to switch the direction of the main attack and defense was something that Xiao Gan and other Liao people needed to worry about, and it had nothing to do with pirates.

After Xiao Jiasui returned, he took over the task of continuing to massacre the pig-headed nobles and heads of the Liao tribes, and completed the sweeping work of the robbery. Zhao Yue vacated his body, took the remaining cavalry battalions and the cavalry part drawn from the battalions of the Mabu Army, with a total strength of 150,000, and immediately rushed to Western Xia.

The Du Bao Division, who left first, did not rush to attack Western Xia as the vanguard, and the main task was still to intercept.

They had to rush all the way to the west of the Xia Kingdom to blockade the Xia King and other dogs, jumping over the wall in a hurry, decisively abandoning the country, rolling up the wealth, and fleeing the army and the people to the west, instead of attacking and destroying the Xia.

This task is very arduous, but it is not as easy as blocking the Liao people in Yunzhong Mansion, so it is necessary for a strong general like Du Yi to complete it personally. Along the way, you can also chase down a small number of Liao nobles who have successfully fled westward by taking advantage of loopholes, and loot the Zahu tribes they encounter, which is not only to supplement food and horses with war and continue to loot the wealth that can be carried, but also to eradicate some Zahu tribes that are too far away from the core ruling area in the east of the Liao State and difficult for the Liao army to grab before winter, eliminate the main leaders of the tribes and all the stubborn disobedient elements, and tell the remaining Zahu Liao and Jin countries about the disasters that have occurred, so that these people can understand the terrible time they are facing to be slaughtered and looted by the Liao people and Jurchen beasts. As a result, these people who had no resistance and did not obey the backbone of the main body were forced to take the initiative to follow the pirates in the direction of Xia to survive under the pressure of both killing and looting and food crises, and it was difficult to survive in the direction of the Xia Kingdom.

In other words, Zhao Yue was the supreme commander of the destruction of the Xia Kingdom.

As for why Xiao Jiasui, the chief of the general staff who is better at commanding the army than Zhao Yue, should not be the commander-in-chief of this Xia annihilation, Xiao Jiasui has a more difficult task in addition to finishing up the affairs of the Liao State.

More on that later.

Let's say that Zhao Yue's 150,000 cavalry rushed away.

In fact, the Western Xia side had already heard that the pirates were going to use the passage of the Yanyun region of the Liao State to come over and destroy the Xia Kingdom.

This is not a secret.

The pirate army made a big splash when they looted Yanyun and did not hide their intentions. Xia Guo has a lot of spies in Liao, and there are always those who can escape the blockade and desperately rush back to China to report the news.

It's a channel. Although there are very few spies who can rush back to report the news, there are indeed people who can warn Xia Guo in advance.

Another channel is the spies lurking in the territory of the Song Western Army.

There are also a large number of spies from pirate countries lurking in the territory of the Western Army, which are of higher quality, more professional, and more convenient for timely communication beyond the times. These people received a notice from the leaders of the headquarters or branches, and in various forms, they skillfully and secretly deliberately spread the good news that the pirate country wanted to use Yanyun to destroy the Xia country in the territory of the Western Army.

It does not border with the Liao State, and the Western armies that specialize in dealing with Western Xia and Tubo cannot quickly judge whether this news is true or unreliable, but the Zhejia army, which mainly deals with the Liao enemy in Yunzhong Prefecture, is geographically convenient, and a reconnaissance was surprised to find that the pirates were actually frantically looting the Liao State, and the Liao State was also spreading similar news everywhere, and there was really a large number of pirate cavalry who did not know how many men and horses rushed to the west, and it seemed that it should really be to destroy the Western Xia.

This news shocked the whole of the Zhejia army, followed by various emotions.

The pirates are really true to their word, true to their word, and will really destroy whoever they say, and they will not hesitate to complete the expedition in the hurry before winter.

Although Western Xia is small, it is so easy to destroy?

The Western Army, and even the entire Song State, once tried their best to seize territory and weaken the strength of the Western Xia as much as possible, and did not expect to destroy the Xia, but they all failed, and there was no clear result after fighting for decades, so they could only stare at it year after year, the pirates should be very powerful, but how much stronger can the naval army be than the Western Army, a professional army? Can the national strength be compared with the Great Song Dynasty?

Are pirates underestimating our Western Army too much?

What do you think of our Western Army?

Just an aggressive sheep with a temper but no real power?

Confidence: A powerful sheep can't kill an opponent, but the sea wolf has the ability to clean it up in the blink of an eye?

The pirates were too arrogant and confident...... But...... It seems that people should also have this self-confidence and arrogant domineering...... Da Song is strong enough, not comparable to Xixia Xiaoqiang, but this year he was almost directly defeated if he was not told by pirates......

There is a dangerous mood stirring in the folded army,

But from the general to the general, the staff of the staff below, saw the opportunity, but no one really made up their minds, taking advantage of the pirates raging in the clouds, the Liao State is at this time is an unprecedented weakness and powerlessness to bully the good opportunity, decisively send troops to the Liao State, rob and kill, have a good time, and make a fortune.

There are many concerns.

In the final analysis, the main generals of the Zhejia army, including Zhi Keqiu, were afraid of the fierce strength of the pirates, and were afraid of provoking the pirates, so they did not dare to play the trick of taking advantage of the situation to grab food.

Objectively, there are reasons why we can't do anything.

If you want to send troops to kill and rob the Liao State, and take advantage of the fire to rob the Liao State, this is undoubtedly a direct war with the Liao State, and this kind of major event involving the overall situation of the relationship between the two countries is not a matter that local warlords with great power can make flexible decisions without authorization, even if they are too red-eyed and really want to take the opportunity to get involved and make a profit, then they must first ask the imperial court for approval. The long distance to Tokyo, this back and forth request for instructions and approvals, during which the delay is long, I am afraid that even if the imperial court allows it, it will not be able to catch up with the heat.

In addition, the Great Song Dynasty has experienced a tragic national disaster, so far the turmoil has not been extinguished, the country is shaken, the inland army collapsed, the government is chaotic, the whole situation is in the adjustment period that has just begun, but just saw a little to restore the peaceful and orderly situation, lack of financial resources, national strength is embarrassed, powerless, afraid and unwilling to cause more trouble, especially with Liao.

The Zhejia army itself also has a lot of problems, and it has just experienced the defection of soldiers and people in the jurisdiction, and the army is unstable, and it does not dare to easily form a deep enmity with the Liao State.

Didn't see that the courage was the greatest among all the Song Wenwu officials, and in his bones he hated the Liao State that was always the scourge of Zhao Zhuang, and he wanted to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun for the country, and in fact, the Wencheng Marquis Zhao Gonglian, who was also the most autonomous and powerful in charge of the border army, didn't he dare to be as tough and bold as before, and when he saw the opportunity, he decisively launched a robbery of Yanshan Mansion without authorization?

The defection of the Cangbei Army was even worse, the military strength was not strong and they were busy receiving monks and prisoners, and it was one thing to spare time and troops, and it was also Zhao Gonglian who did not dare to send troops to trouble Liao without authorization, and he was not afraid of this matter, and he was not an ordinary fear in his heart, so he gave him the opportunity to take revenge on the two enemies of Liao and pirates, and honestly watched and did not move.

Zhao Gonglian's behavior is the best weather vane.

Whether this person is talented, far-sighted, courageous, or lucky, it is quite incredible, and it is not wrong to follow such a person.

The Cangbei Army did not move. Then the folded army must not move lightly.

If the Cangbei army moves, with this Zhao Gonglian, whose neck is so hard that even the court and the emperor have to endure his anger, he has repeatedly tolerated and accommodated, and is exceptionally honored, in front of him, then the Zhejia army can follow suit, but he still has to repeatedly observe and consider in advance and judge thoroughly before he can really follow.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to recover Yanyun, and taking advantage of the extreme emptiness of the Liao State, the armament may be useless, and the goal can be easily achieved with a single blow......

This is actually the sorrow of the Song Dynasty's reluctance to establish a state, and it is also the decline of the Western Army......
