Chapter 933: The Squirming Young Man and the Enjoying Old Driver (Second Column)
Chapter 933
"Really? The best result......" Li Qianshun stroked his eyebrows, his expression gloomy and decadent. But he also knew that what Wei Ming Ah Wu said was indeed true.
Today's Western Xia has no capital for negotiation, so he can only follow the baton of Da Liao, and he is a little disobedient, hehe......
It can be said that if Da Liao sneezes, this Great Xia Dynasty is afraid that it will have to hail. If the Liao Kingdom is not happy, the entire Western Xia will have to cry and shake the sky.
"Your Majesty, if you continue to interrupt, there will be disasters, but it is better to be happy, so that you can exchange some rewards from the Liao Emperor. It's better than being forced. "Wei Ming Ah Wu is worthy of being an old driver, and his vision of seeing things is much more shrewd than that of Li Qianshun.
For example, Li Qianshun is a reluctant and unforgiving young boy who is still twisting and pinching after being forced. And Wei Ming Ah Wu is an old driver who knows the trade-off, understands that he can't resist it, and just enjoys it.
After the painstaking persuasion of Wei Ming Ah Wu, in the end, Li Qianshun had to bow his head in humiliation. Late that night, from Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, there were several eunuchs who quietly left Xingqing Mansion with Li Qianshun's handwritten edict and headed to the east.
At this time, the government and the opposition in Western Xia did not know about this, and only a few important ministers who were loyal to Li Qianshun and held military power did know.
At this moment, the Great Song Dynasty was not clear about the PY transaction between the Western Xia and the Liao State, and even had no clue, and still honestly continued to fight with the soldiers and horses of the Liao State and the Western Xia every day.
But today, to Su Dongpo's strange thing, the Liaoxia coalition army on the opposite side did not open a large battalion as in the past, but the army began to retreat slowly backwards, and in front of the formation, 60,000 elite cavalry were left.
Su Dongpo, who knew that his army was not sufficient, saw that the other party had adopted such tactics, and immediately realized that the other party was probably deceitful again, and stopped the behavior of the generals of each battalion who took the initiative to attack.
Instead, it is to stabilize the position, so as not to show some conspiracy and tricks by the Liaoxia coalition army.
From early morning to dusk, the cavalry of the Liaoxia coalition army withdrew to the camp, and the camp became very lively again.
However, the scout cavalry sent out came with the news that the main force of the Liaoxia coalition army had left the camp for about 30 miles, and it seemed that it was a posture of never looking back, not like in the past, just to lure the enemy and make a show.
This began to make Su Dongpo a little uncertain, but at this time, there was an envoy from Western Xia, holding a small white flag, came to the Song army camp, saying that he was ordered by the lord of Great Xia to have a letter to Su Dongpo.
The letter was quickly delivered to Su Dongpo's hands. Su Dongpo saw it, did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the whole army to be on alert, ignoring the rear army of the Liaoxia coalition army that was still continuing to act on the opposite side, and summoned the generals to the big tent of the Chinese army for a meeting.
"The lord of the Western Xia country wants to shake hands and make peace? This is unlikely, although the Liaoxia coalition army failed to gain the upper hand, but it has been with my Great Song for so long, and it has not seen the slightest decline, why does this Western Xia lord want to shake hands with my Great Song alone? One of the generals smashed his mouth, his face full of confusion and doubt.

"It must be the trick of the Liaoxia commander again, otherwise, why does the movement of the Liaoxia army seem so strange today."
The generals all expressed their skepticism about this news, and the important military staff officer beside Su Dongpo, Zong Ze, also frowned for a long time, and slowly shook his head. "This is too confusing, Su Xiang, according to the opinion of the lower officials, we had better wait and see."
"Yes, in order to win, the Liaoxia coalition army has exhausted all kinds of means, and my Great Song Prefectures are still as safe as Mount Tai."
"Besides, in the current Western Xia, where is there still the capital and ability to negotiate peace with my Great Song alone, if the Liao State knows, it will be strange if they are not destroyed."
After a cautious and careful meeting, everyone unanimously agreed, or rather agreed that the so-called search for peace in the Western Xia was only a technique and means for them in war.
Da Song, no matter what, will not fall for this. Therefore, Su Dongpo ordered that the envoy be driven out of the camp and asked the camp to pay attention to the vigilance to prevent the Liaoxia coalition army from sneaking up at night.
The Western Xia Ministry of Rites, Shang Shugu, looked stunned as he watched a murderous Song army drive himself and his twenty guards out of the Song army's camp.
He couldn't even stay at the gate of the camp, because the Song army threatened that if he didn't hurry up, then the Great Song would no longer pay attention to the two countries' wars, and he would not kill the conventions of the envoys, and shoot them with arrows.
So, Gu Leguang had to lead his subordinates to run away from the Song army camp in embarrassment, and then he looked around blankly, this is too unscientific, what the hell is the situation.
Could it be that the reason given by Song is true? actually said that he and others were trying to deceive the Song people for deception, so they did such an immoral thing.
"What the hell are they going on, why don't they believe us. Can't those Song people see that the jade seal on the national letter given by the adult is absolutely impossible to fake? ”
"It may be that the old man was too reckless, or that he rushed to the Song camp before those Liaoxia troops left, so that they would feel that we were not really here to sue for peace, but just a strategy to lure the enemy." Gu Leguang stroked his long beard, and after thinking about it for a long time, he probably understood what was going on.
"What then? Let's go again, but looking at the appearance of those Song people, I'm afraid we will have to go again, maybe they will really shoot us on the spot without saying anything. The subordinates looked at the camp of the Song army and said with an uneasy face.
"It's okay, let's leave first, tomorrow, after the Liao army has retreated, let's go to Song Ying again, presumably at that time, Su Dongpo should be able to wake up, and he will definitely see this official."

That night, Su Dongpo, who was not at ease, sent a reconnaissance cavalry again, but just approached the camp of the Liaoxia coalition army, it led to a large number of Liaoxia soldiers and horses, and saw the reaction of the Liaoxia coalition army, but let Su Dongpo put his mind at ease, there is no difference from the past, it seems that it is really another trick of the Liaoxia coalition army.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day, when the sky was bright, that the Song army's camp ended, and it was only at this time that the Song army realized that the camp on the opposite side seemed to be a little different.
It's the whole camp, it's too quiet and too weird, in the early morning, there is not even a little cooking smoke, can't those Liaoxia coalition troops collectively commit nerves and change breakfast to dry food, right?
Even if it is gnawing dry food, the movement of hundreds of thousands of troops gnawing dry food together will definitely not be small, but now, it always makes people feel that the opposite side is very empty, lonely and cold.
Su Dongpo once again ordered to send scout cavalry to the Liaoxia coalition army camp to reconnoitre, this time, through the telescope, it can be clearly seen that the Song army's scout cavalry arrived at a stone's throw away from the Liaoxia coalition camp, and the speed of approach began to become sluggish.
But there was still no movement in the other party's camp. There were even bold scouts who threw a few feathered arrows into the camp of the Liaoxia camp, but they did not see the enraged enemy army open the camp gate and pounce out with murderous spirit, nor did they hear any commotion of soldiers and horses ambushing inside.
