Xiao Chara felt that he was going crazy,

A few months ago, he received a copy of the emperor's holy decree and a secret decree in Xijing.

The content of the decree is known to all, and the emperor appointed him as the generalissimo of the Northern Expeditionary Army, led the army south into the Song Dynasty, helped the brother ally Great Song to quell the rebellion in its country, and was fully responsible for all matters related to the harvest of the thirteen states of Hebei from the Great Song Dynasty after the suppression of the rebellion.

The emperor instructed two things in his secret decree, one was to ask him to find a way to control the army of Yeluchun, the king of Yan, and overthrow Yeluchun. The second is to order him not to really help the Great Song Dynasty eliminate that Zheng Linfeng, but not only to help the Great Song Dynasty solve the current danger of destroying the country, but also to continue to leave the threat of Zheng Linfeng to the Great Song Dynasty, in short, to find a way to cause the split of the Great Song Dynasty and maintain this division!

Xiao Chara really couldn't help but cheer for the emperor when he received the two holy decrees!

Yeluchun's strength is too strong, and he is already strong enough to threaten the imperial system, but the emperor can't easily move him, otherwise Yeluchun will rebel, which will be disastrous for the current crisis-ridden Daliao; The Great Song Dynasty is also too powerful, and he has never given up on the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but the Great Liao can't turn his face with the Great Song Dynasty, because the consequences of turning the other cheek may also be catastrophic; The thirteen states of Hebei are the last barrier of the Central Plains to the north, and they were not captured during the heyday of the Great Liao.

Each of these three things is very important, and they are not related to each other, but I didn't expect that the great emperor only used the one thing of sending troops to the south to solve it, once this plan succeeded, not only can remove Yeluchun's military power, solve the danger of the imperial system, but also split the Great Song Dynasty into two hostile Han countries, let them kill each other, wear down each other's strength, and get the thirteen states of Hebei that Daliao dreamed of in vain!

Is there a greater plan in the world? Xiao Chara clearly remembered that he admired the emperor to the extreme at that time, but now that he ......, he thinks that this plan is actually extremely stupid! The emperor thought that he was strategizing to win a victory thousands of miles away, but in fact he was deceived, everything that happened between the Great Song Dynasty and that Zheng Linfeng was actually a play for the whole world to see, they deliberately created this illusion of the Great Song Dynasty split and successfully deceived the Great Liao and the Xia Kingdom, this battlefield is not the place of the decisive battle between the Great Song Dynasty and Zheng Linfeng at all, but the trap arranged for the Liao and Xia armies! Sadly, the emperors of Liaoxia and Xia still thought that they had taken a big advantage, and honestly sent hundreds of thousands of troops to get into this trap themselves. Now, the Liao and Xia armies are under siege, and the Song army and the Tiandao army are all in all directions in the southeast, northwest and northwest, forming an impermeable net of heaven and earth, making it clear that the Xia and Liao armies are trapped here!

Seeing that the grain and grass are gone, don't talk about reinforcements outside, I'm afraid that Da Liao is still in the dark, and there is no way to hit the grass valley, and all directions in the southeast, northwest and northwest cannot break through, just when Xiao Chara felt desperate, suddenly a good news came from the east, a group of people and horses of the Liao army happened to meet a grain team of the Tiandao Army, they beat away the people who guarded the grain team, and snatched a batch of grain and grass that was more precious than gold, although the amount of grain and grass was not very much, at most it was only enough for a 10,000-strong army for a day. But there is a surprise that is more unexpected than this batch of grain and grass, that is, a map of the distribution of the baggage of the Tiandao Army was found from the grain team, which clearly marked the location of all the large and small grain battalions of the Tiandao Army, among which there were two grain battalions that couldn't help but Xiao Chara's heart was pounding, those two places are called Gaotang and the other is called Bozhou, these two grain battalions should be the hub of the Tiandao Army to transport grain and grass to the front line from the map, and there must be a large amount of grain and grass in them!

What is the most lacking of the Xia and Liao armies now? It's grain and grass! As long as there is enough grain and grass, in fact, it doesn't need too much, as long as there is enough grain and grass to support the army for about ten more days, the two armies of Xia and Liao can regroup and calmly launch a decisive battle against the Song army and the Tiandao army, either die here, or open a gap to escape!

Xiao Cha Lai couldn't help it, the two grain camps were like two big cakes with an attractive taste, always tempting him like a person who was about to starve to death, he decided to send troops to attack Gao Tang, but he didn't expect this move to attract the opposition of Yelu Dashi, Yelu Dashi thought that this news came from too many coincidences, and I am afraid that there is fraud in it, so we must not act rashly.

If in normal times, Xiao Chala may have listened, but not long ago, the army grain team was attacked, and a large amount of grain and grass was lost, and now the whole army knows that the reason why this happened is not unrelated to Xiao Chala's disobedience to Yelu Dashi's advice, and the loss of such a large number of life-saving grain and grass, the Liao army is full of complaints, and Xiao Chala's prestige can be said to have plummeted!

It should be said that this kind of thing is actually very common in marching and fighting, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and people will always make mistakes, and for those who make mistakes, as long as there is still a chance, the most correct way should be to learn lessons and lessons, get up from where they fall, and strive to make another war exploit and be ashamed. But Xiao Cha Ra is not such a person, his first reaction is actually that the culprit who caused his loss of face is Yelu Dashi, and regards Yelu Dashi as a thorn in his eye, for him, no matter what kind of victory he commands the army to achieve in the future, it is not enough to make up for this shame, there is only one way to eliminate the shame, that is, to find another thing that contradicts Yelu Dashi's opinion, and then use his own right to set off Yelu Dashi's mistakes, only in this way can he Xiao Cha Ra be satisfied.

So, as soon as Xiao Chala saw that Yelu Dashi opposed immediately attacking Gaotang and Bozhou, his eyes lit up, and the opportunity could be regarded as coming again! He immediately refuted Yelu Dashi, saying, "We are now out of food, and we can't attack from all directions, is there a worse result than this?" Now that we already know that Gaotang and Bozhou have grain, why don't we go? Now if we want to survive and reorganize a decisive battle, we can only go to Gaotang and Bozhou to grab grain! Ambush? This is really ridiculous, the Song army and the Heavenly Dao army are clearly trying to trap us and starve us to death, as long as they continue to strengthen the defense of various places on the existing basis, we will be finished in less than three days, and the entire army will inevitably be completely defeated, do they need to set up any ambushes in one more move? So this is definitely not an ambush, but the last chance God gave us! This opportunity must not only be seized, but also seized as soon as possible, otherwise when the enemy reacts, they will inevitably strengthen the defense of Gaotang and Bozhou, and then we will have no chance!

I have to say that Xiao Chala's analysis is very reasonable, and Yelu Dashi has nothing to say if he wants to refute it, but his keen sense of smell of the battle situation tells him that something big is likely to happen when he goes to Gaotang and Bozhou!

So what can be done to stop Xiao Chala?

Yelu Dashi's heart moved, and he immediately thought of a person, that person was none other than the commander of the Xia army, Brother Cha, who led the Xia army to fight with the Song State for so many years, and was very familiar with the combat habits of the Song army, he would definitely be able to see the conspiracy of the Song army to stop Xiao Chara.

Yelu Dashi immediately said, Boss, do you want to inform Xia Jun about this matter?

Xiao Chara frowned and said, inform them? Is it necessary? Let them share the food with us?

Yelu Dashi shook his head and said, our two armies are now grasshoppers on a rope, with cold lips and teeth, if we act alone, it is likely to cause misunderstanding among the Xia army, and now that the two armies are intersecting with each other, it is impossible to hide such a big movement from them! The most important point is, as you said, when we get the grain and grass, should we give it to them? I think that's definitely going to be divided, and if they don't count, they'll turn around and rob us, which will be disastrous for us! Therefore, instead of us taking the risk of desperately capturing Gaotang and Bozhou, and finally cheapening the Xia army for nothing, it is better to let the Xia army also act together, and the cooperation between the two armies is also greater.

Xiao Cha thought that this was indeed the truth, so he agreed with Yelu Dashi's words and sent someone to invite Brother Cha to come.

After Brother Cha arrived, he immediately straightened his eyes after listening to Xiao Chara's introduction, and his eyes were like a hungry wolf seeing ready-made fresh meat, and even glowed blue!

Yelu Dashi knew that his plan had failed at a glance on the side, and he sighed helplessly, but fortunately, at least he tied Xia Jun to his side again, even if there was any problem, the two armies could take care of each other.

Xiao Chara and Brother Cha hit it off, and the two quickly discussed a specific plan of action, the two armies each sent a horse army to raid, with the Xia army responsible for attacking Bozhou, and the Liao army responsible for attacking Gaotang.

A day later, the good news came, and it was great news, the two armies and horses successfully raided, the Tiandao army of Gaotang and Bozhou was caught off guard, and was successfully captured by the two armies, and both armies found a place to store grain in the city, which is said to be several huge granaries, which are full of grain bags, and the grain bags are white flowers! According to a rough estimate, the grain in several granaries is enough for the Xia and Liao armies in the past ten days!

Of course, Xiao Cha and Brother Cha were overjoyed, but at the same time, bad news came, saying that the Heavenly Dao Army had sent a large army to Gaotang and Bozhou, wanting to recapture the two cities. The two of them were shocked again, and immediately ordered all the armies to stop their current operations and assemble at full speed towards Gaotang and Bozhou, saying that they would also save this hard-won life-saving food. At the same time, the two also discussed that Gaotang would temporarily belong to the Liao Army, and Bozhou would temporarily belong to the Xia Army, and solve the current matter first, and the specific grain distribution would be discussed later.

Fortunately, it is said that it is lucky, when the two armies of Xia Liao arrived in Gaotang and Bozhou respectively, many Tiandao troops had gathered outside the city to besiege the two cities, but their number was not much, and the two armies of Xia Liao retreated without a fight as soon as they arrived, allowing the two armies to enter the city.

The first thing Xiao Chala did when he entered the city was to see the grain, not to mention, there were really several huge granaries in the depths of the city, which were full of grain bags, just these grains and grass, saving a little use, were completely enough for the Liao army to support half a month!

However, there is a strange place in the city, there are no residents in the city, except for a few large grain camps, the whole city is an empty city, and the besieging subordinates say that they are like this as soon as they enter the city.

Xiao Cha thought about it, maybe the Heavenly Dao Army had already removed all the residents for safety, which was normal. He didn't think about it any further, but just ordered the whole army to start a meal at once, and then talk about it happily.

The news spread, and the Liao army in Gaotang City cheered and shook the sky! Only Yelu Dashi came to the castle tower, looked at the empty city from a high place, frowned and was silent.

The next night, the Liao army from all over the country arrived and entered the city and then had a full meal, everything seemed to be developing in a good direction, but I didn't expect that something happened after one night, early the next morning, the guys wanted to cook again, but when they went to the granary to move the grain bags in the depths of the granary, they found that it was not rice at all, but ...... Earth! The men moved several grain bags in a row, and found that except for one grain bag containing rice, the rest were all dirt!

Xiao Cha rushed to hear the news, looking at the black soil poured out of the grain bag, he trembled as if he remembered something, and immediately ordered the granary to be vacated, and when everyone removed the layer of grain bags on the surface, they found that the grain bags inside were all filled with dirt!

It was also at this time that there was a sudden emergency military situation outside the city, and countless Heavenly Dao troops suddenly came from all directions, and they had already surrounded Gaotang City!

Xiao Cha couldn't help but shudder, only then did he understand that he had been fooled again!
