The sky was bright, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides inside and outside the valley were only more than 200 paces apart, so they could clearly see the appearance of the enemy. As Yelu Xiongge deduced, it was Yelu Sibuda's men and horses who launched a surprise attack on them at night and forced the Song and Liao armies to retreat to the Xifeng Valley, which made the Xiongge's pro-army both shocked and angry, and they all broke out.

The scolding spread far away outside the valley, which made those Liao soldiers also hesitate a little. It was dark before, and the two sides were fighting head-on, and they didn't know the exact identity of the other party, but now that their identities are all exposed, their determination to kill is not so sufficient, after all, they were still guarding the same robe in Nanjing before, and in a blink of an eye, they were actually going to fight to the death......

It wasn't until Si Buda saw that the situation was different and hurriedly scolded loudly that the originally somewhat shaken military spirit was reinvigorated, but it was impossible for them to attack the men and horses in the valley again in a short time.

But even so, the Liao and Song sides in the valley still looked grim, because they found that there were indeed more than a thousand people surrounded outside, and the risk they took if they wanted to forcibly break through was too great. Tong Guan's brows were already deeply locked: "King Xiongge, how should we deal with this situation now?" Is it to take advantage of this opportunity to retreat from the rear? ”

Yelu Xiongge, who had rested for half the night, reinvigorated his spirits, and at this time he also had a sad face: "This is the worst option. However, we can send people to leave from the rear to find someone to rescue, but this place is two or three hundred miles away from Nanjing, and it may take several days to go back and forth, and we may not last so long. ”

Sun Tu, who was leaning on the mountain and stone to recuperate, also opened his eyes and spoke: "What King Xiongge said is very true, we are almost completely out of food, and there is not much wine left, and we can still support it in a day or two, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to do more." And once we run out of food, the fighting spirit of the soldiers will be completely broken, and then they will only need to rush to kill us. ”

"But how is this good?" Tong Guan and Yelu Xiongge were completely out of line at this moment, they couldn't retreat, they were not opponents when they attacked, and it was a dead end to defend them, and they found that they were really in a desperate situation this time.

In fact, there is a way to resolve this desperate situation, there is still a large amount of grain in the warehouse of his ring realm, not to mention a few hundred people here, even ten times more, as long as the food is taken out, it is enough for the army to use it for a month or two. However, this is the root of his life, and he will not show it easily until the last moment. And once he really does this, there will be great trouble in the future, not to mention what Sun Tu wants to see.

At this time, Tong Guan said again: "King Xiongge, since you are the king of the Southern Courtyard, you always want to contact Nanjing, and now our camp is under attack and you have lost your whereabouts, will Nanjing send troops to rescue you in time?" ”

Yelu Xiongge smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My Da Liao is different from your Song Kingdom, I often go out hunting for a few months, even if I have a short contact with Nanjing for a few days, they will not take it too seriously." Even if it is Dashi Linya who is in charge of Nanjing this time, he will not be suspicious. ”

At this moment, there was no hope of even the last bit of hope to find foreign aid, and the uneasiness on Tong Guan's face became more and more obvious: "How is this good?" Do you really want to risk rushing out? Now it seems that there is only one way left.

And at this moment, Sun Tu suddenly spoke: "If we really want to take risks, maybe there is another way to do it, we can kill it by surprise, as long as we take down Yelu Sibuda, the main general of the enemy army, we won't have to worry about not being able to kill it!" ”

"It's a lot harder than breaking out. Sibuda is already good at martial arts, and he is still among the thousands of armies, even if you are a thousand miles away, it is impossible for you to champion the three armies. If you go, you will only die in vain......" Tong Guan immediately shook his head and objected.

"It's naturally difficult to kill the past so directly, but what if someone can distract them?" Sun Tu glanced at Yelu Xiongge: "King Xiongge should be able to do this. ”

Yelu Xiongge immediately understood his intentions: "Do you want this king to come forward to negotiate with him, and then take this opportunity to kill him?" ”

"Yes, the enemy and the enemy are not far apart, as long as the horse is fast enough, there is a certainty that something will happen. As for his prowess, I'm confident that I can stop him in a few moves under a sneak attack! Sun Tu said with a glint in his eyes.

Tong Guan and Yelu Xiongge looked at each other for a while, and finally the latter said first: "So far, this is the best countermeasure, just fight this one!" This king came forward to speak to him, and you pretended to be my attendant to act at an opportune time! "As the king of the Southern Courtyard of Liao, he is quite bold and courageous, and he actually dares to risk his life.

Since he should take the first step and take risks, Tong Guan naturally didn't want to object again, so he could only pull Sun Tu to come to Haosheng to encourage a few words, and promised some benefits, and then let Sun Tu go back and prepare for the next action.

However, Sun Tu did not plan to make a move at this time, at this time the sun was in the east, just shining on them, their vision was affected, and they had to wait until the afternoon when the sun turned before acting, when the day was on their side, they could succeed in one blow.

The whole morning passed little by little while both sides were wary but patient. By noon, the smoke had risen from the Liao soldiers in front, and they had already prepared, so they could naturally have something to eat. However, the Song and Liao sides guarding in the valley could only go hungry, and at most a small sip of wine could be regarded as satisfying their hunger.

When they knew that Sun Tu was going to take the risk of taking Yelu Sibuda, Wu Song and Luda both said with some unease: "San Lang, why don't we act with you?" ”

Sun Tu glanced at the injuries on their bodies, and without too much hesitation, he shook his head and vetoed: "Your injuries are not light, so don't take this risk." "These two people are really good at foot fighting, and none of the ordinary Liao people are their enemies, but their riding skills are really poor.

When everyone fled last night, the two of them fell to the rear several times, if it weren't for the strong martial arts of the two and fighting to the death, I am afraid that they would have died on the way out. But even so, they all suffered multiple wounds, one of them was hit by four arrows, one was hit by six arrows, and some were wounded by knives and guns...... Thanks to the two of them, they were strong enough to save their lives. But at this time, it was impossible for Sun Tu to let them risk killing the enemy again.

Seeing that he was resolute and indeed not lightly injured, the two were also worried that they would be unhelpful if they went, so they finally accepted the arrangement. At the same time, after experiencing this accident, the two also knew the role of riding in the army, and decided that as long as they could go back safely this time, they must practice riding skills in the future.

Ignoring what the two of them thought, Sun Tu had already seized the time to rest at this time. It wasn't until the sun was set in the west that he nodded at Jeruchon, pretended to be his personal attendant, and rode his horse out of the valley.

The two sides of the confrontation were slightly turbulent with Yelu Xiongge's move, and in the surprised eyes of the Liao soldiers on the opposite side, Yelu Xiongge took a few steps forward, and then grabbed the war horse and shouted: "Si Buda, do you dare to come out and talk to me?" The majestic voice came from afar, full of momentum.

At this time, he was still one hundred and fifty paces away from the enemy, and was out of range of the Liao archers. And behind him, in addition to Sun Tu, a pretended guard, there were thirty or forty personal soldiers following. As soon as there is anything unusual, these people will escort him back to the valley as soon as possible.

Sibuda didn't expect Xiongge to dare to come forward to find him at this time, although he was a little surprised, he still didn't avoid it, and soon walked out of the formation on horseback, squinting at Yelu Xiongge: "Xiongge, it looks like you're also injured?" ”

"Hmph, it's just that the eagle was pecked by a sparrow for a while, it doesn't matter." Yelu Xiongge was overjoyed when he saw him come out, but his mouth was unforgiving: "Si Buda, as an official of my Southern Court, you actually committed a rebellion, aren't you afraid that you will die and have no place to bury?" And you, who were originally warriors of my Da Liao, but now they rebelled with Sibuda, not only will you die, but you will also affect your family after death, have you ever thought about how heavy the consequences will be? ”

Yelu Xiongge has been the king of the Southern Courtyard for many years, and his prestige here in Nanjing is still quite large. Because in their eyes, he is an extremely noble existence, and he can only look up to him in normal times, how can he dare to attack him?

Seeing this, Si Buda's face sank, and he immediately shouted: "Xiongge, don't want to use this kind of words to disturb the hearts of our army, let alone use these words to defend yourself. Don't you know how much of a mistake you've committed, and why I'm not going to send troops to kill you? ”

After a pause, he turned his head and looked around at the soldiers and horses on the left and right, and said loudly: "When you colluded with the Song people and tried to betray the entire city of Nanjing to them, no one will find out?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the Liao soldiers, who were still a little guilty, immediately showed hostility towards Xiongge.

"You talk nonsense, you spew blood!" Yeluxiongge was immediately annoyed and retorted loudly.

Sibuda straightened his waist at this time, and quickly replied: "Haha, you panicked, you must not have thought that your conspiracy would be discovered by me, right?" Can you really hide the matter of letting people collude with the Song people in private? And this time, you not only want to sell Nanjing City to the Song people, but also reveal all the details of the defense of my army in the south of Daliao to the Song people. Do you dare to say that they didn't get the defense map? ”

As soon as he said this, not only the subordinates around him, but also Xiongge's personal soldiers were a little vague, and Yelu Xiongge's face changed, why did this guy actually hear about it?

Si Buda seized the opportunity to continue to attack his heart and said: "You say that you are wronged, it is useless to just talk about it, unless you can show with your actions that you have indeed not colluded with the Song people." As long as you go back now and kill all the Song people in the valley, I will not only withdraw my troops, but also immediately make amends to the king, and send you back to Nanjing! ”
