The same military intelligence was presented to different people, but the reaction was diametrically opposed.

In the military camp of the Song Army, when the two elders of the family and the relevant generals listened to the news of the good news brought back by the people sent by Sun Tu, everyone was quiet at first, and then there was a burst of cheers, even if the old man was as steady as a brother of the Seed Master, he was also overjoyed at this moment, and applauded again and again: "God bless me Great Song, thousands of miles he won Zhuozhou this time, and the credit is no less than the previous battle to save the soldiers of our Western Army!" No, in terms of the effect, it is many times better than that battle, and Zhuozhou is like my hand, so a big victory can be expected! ”

"I'm really ashamed, although all of our generals are thousands of miles old, and they have decades of experience in leading troops, but now compared with him, they are ashamed of themselves. Now that I think about it, if I had led the Northern Expedition for thousands of miles, maybe even the Liao Kingdom would have been wiped out by my Great Song Dynasty for a long time. ”

The two ministers said this, and it was naturally impossible for other subordinate generals to refute it, and for a while, everyone even said yes, praising Sun Tu's merits and his inexplicable way of using troops. And in the praise of everyone, soon, the face of the master became solemn again, because he found that there was still content behind this military report, and it was written that Sun Tu had led a small number of elite soldiers to Youzhou day and night, and he actually planned to take this important northern city that had been missed by the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years.

When he told the truth about this, the celebratory atmosphere in the tent suddenly became quiet, everyone showed surprise and worry, and the seed master frowned tightly: "Qianli He is too aggressive to do this, Youzhou is not as good as Zhuozhou, even if the garrison is empty, it is not something that can be taken by a few thousand people." What's more, the Liao army is afraid that they have also received the news of the defeat of Zhuozhou at this time, and they will definitely react. ”

"How's that for good? According to the time calculation, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses led by General Sun are not far from Youzhou at this time. The hearts of the people were even more nervous, full of uneasiness.

At this time, all the generals of Rao are rich in combat experience, and they can't come up with a definite idea for a while. In fact, the Song army here is still hundreds of miles away from Youzhou, and it is beyond the reach of the whip at all, and there is an elite Liao army in the middle......

After a deep groan, the seed master finally said: "At this time, there is only one thing we can do, that is, we will do our best to drag down the Liao army in front of them, so that they will not be able to free up their hands to reinforce Youzhou, in order to reduce the pressure of thousands of miles to capture Youzhou." ”

This may be no way, the generals have clenched their fists to respond to the order, so they will arrange for the soldiers and horses to take the initiative to move forward, in order to put pressure on the Liao army in front of them, so that they dare not act rashly. And as all the subordinates made their own accounts to arrange related matters, and only the two brothers of the seed family were left in the account, the seed master suddenly said: "What do you think of this matter? ”

"This Sun Qianli is still young and vigorous in the end, and he is too impatient. In fact, taking Zhuozhou our army has been established in the place of victory, and the Liao army will be in turmoil, as long as it takes time, to win a big victory, and then take advantage of the victory to go north and capture Youzhou is also a logical thing. The planter still said with some sighs: "And when he came like this, he even disrupted our own rhythm, which is not a good strategy after all." ”

"I thought the same thing, but now that I think about it, I feel that there is some reason for him to do this."

"What do you mean by that?"

Seed Master Dao smiled bitterly and pointed to the left side of the big tent: "You must not forget that our current identity is not the responsibility of the imperial court. On the surface, it seems that the Liao army is conducive to a quick battle, and we can afford to drag it out, but is this really the case? There is no impermeable wall in this world, and everything that has been done before, I am afraid that it has been transmitted back to Tokyo at this time, do you think that with the viciousness of those traitorous ministers in the court, we will really be allowed to continue to lead the troops to make this immortal achievement? ”

This sentence immediately made the face of the seed master become solemn: "Yes, why did I forget this layer." If we really want to talk about it, we are all guilty. ”

Yes, whether it is Sun Tu or the second elder of the family, including the current generals in the army, in fact, they are all sinners of the former mutiny, and once the court really investigates them, their crimes are extremely serious.

"Therefore, not only the Liao people must fight quickly, but we must also seize Youzhou before the imperial court attacks, so as to block everyone's mouth. I think Sun Qianli saw this precisely because he didn't hesitate to take a risk. Because judging from the current situation, by June at the latest, the relevant will of the imperial court may have to be sent to the army. The planter said solemnly.

The seed master sighed again: "Sun Qianli does have a long-term vision, which is beyond my reach." In this case, then we will cooperate with him well, do our best to drag the main force of the Liao army in front, and hope that he can really take Youzhou. ”

"Well, that's exactly how it should be, otherwise what face will I have to see Sun Qianli again?"

"But I still don't understand a little bit, even if we really recapture Youzhou in a war, with military merits in hand, can we really ensure that we are not framed by traitors from the DPRK and China? After all, there is no excuse for the sin you want to add. ”

"You and I naturally can't deal with this, but that Sun Qianli is different. Do you remember what happened to Gao Yu? and Tong Guan, who is still under house arrest, Zhu Mian, who was killed in Jiangnan...... "As the names of the ministers were reported, the faces of the two brothers became more and more solemn, and some thoughts had been born from their hearts, but it was not easy to announce them for a while, at least they did not dare to make such a big rebellion, but Sun Tu was not easy to say."

Suddenly, there was a dull thunder in the distant sky, and the roar made the second elder's face cloudy again. There are some things, once started, that are never stopped.

The sudden forward pressure of the Song army naturally immediately attracted the attention of the Liao army, and when this military situation was reported to Yelu Xiongge again, he knew that the Song army had also received the military report from Zhuozhou, and made corresponding preparations.

This time, he could only quickly cancel the decision to immediately send troops and horses to help Youzhou. Originally, the soldiers and horses under his command were far inferior to the Song army, and if the troops were thinned again, and once the matter was leaked and the army's morale was turbulent, it might be a fiasco.

In the end, after some hesitation, Yelu Xiongge could only listen to Yelu Dashi's suggestion, let him take only a hundred horsemen to quickly return to the north, and use his identity to mobilize troops and horses in the surrounding cities, in order to rescue the rear before Nanjing was lost, but here on the front line, Xiongge could only lead the troops to the end.

In this way, the impact of Zhuozhou being captured by Sun Tu finally began to appear, even if he did not take the opportunity to lead the army to flank the Liao army, he had completely disrupted the overall plan of the Liao army, and was only one line away from their complete collapse......

Unlike the northern climate, where thunder is showered and rain is about to fall heavily, this afternoon in Bianliang, Tokyo, is sunny and extremely hot. The blazing sunlight shone down through the branches and leaves of the trees, casting a little spot of light, making Gao De's eyes, which had been walking for a while, flash again, and it took him a long time to see clearly that the mansion in front of him was where he was going-Taiwei Mansion.

Gao Yu's mansion is very different from a few months ago, there is no longer the original traffic and the crowd of people are almost making people can't believe that this is Gao Taiwei's mansion. But there is no way, who asked Gao Taiwei to leave the capital a few months ago, even if he wants to befriend him, it is impossible to choose to come to the door at this time to wait for the meeting.

Of course, compared to the changes in front of the Taiwei Mansion, the changes in Gao De, who is Gao Yu's cronies and guards, are even greater. Now he is still a little bit of the former Si Du Yuhou, Gao Taiwei and the former red General Gao De, he has a yellow face and thin muscles, and he is in rags, and he looks no different from the people and beggars who fled the famine.

However, compared to other cronies around Gao Yu, he Gao De is already the luckiest one. Because the others were either killed by Sun Tu's order in the snow that night, or died in the battle on that nameless hill, only he, relying on luck and flexible mind, escaped two catastrophes, and took advantage of the chaotic scene of the battle between the two armies of Song and Liao, and escaped.

It's just that after getting out, Gao De's situation is still unsafe, in order to hide his identity, he can only take off his robe, discard everything that can prove his identity, and then walk south, in order to return to Tokyo, and repay Sun Tu's actions that day to the imperial court, so as to avenge the captain and his killed brother!

Gao De, who had no identity and no money, was outside the Yanmen Pass, and it was natural that he would have to go through a lot of difficulties if he wanted to return to Tokyo on foot. Along the way, he tried all kinds of means, not to mention the abduction and deception, even begging, and finally God blessed him, and finally let him return to this great capital of the Song Dynasty with difficulty.

At this time, he was already hungry and out of appearance, and his original burly and mighty body had long since become skin and flesh, and he was the person who was most familiar with him, and it was difficult to recognize him for a while. So when he, a former frequent visitor to the Taiwei Mansion, stepped forward, he was immediately stopped by the slaves guarding the door, and some people were about to be beaten with sticks, and scolded in their mouths: "Where did the beggar come from, you are blind and dare to approach the Taiwei Mansion!" ”

Gao De, who was so hungry that he was about to collapse, couldn't even avoid this kind of beating, and he was hit with two sticks in a row, before he hurriedly shouted: "Bold, I'm Gao De, the commander of the guards around the captain......

"It's either a madman or a liar, call me!" When a slave leader heard this, he laughed angrily, and ordered even more viciously.

Gao De couldn't parry anymore with the stick that came from the whirring, so he could only stagger back, and shouted loudly: "I am really Gao De, you call Gao Gui out, he knows me." I'm here on the orders of the Captain, and if something bad happens, watch your heads! ”

This sentence finally made these evil slaves stop slightly, and looked at the beggar in front of them hesitantly, this guy actually knew the name of the second steward of the house, it didn't seem like a fake......
