Chapter 1431 Xi Wang Xiao Gan, another way out
In the coastal area south of Leting in Pingzhou, the leaders of the horse infantry army under Xiao Tang gave a loud order in the camp where their respective tribes were located, and allocated and dispatched soldiers to supplement the forage for the war horses and stables.
After these days of getting along with each other, the soldiers and soldiers under the command of Xiao Tang and the military horses met the soldiers patrolling the rest of the Liao army in the camp, and the scenes of chatting and laughing with each other also happened from time to time.
In addition to the Qiong Demon Nayan, who often interacted with Shi Jin and had a deeper friendship, other Liao generals such as Qu Li Chuqing and Wuli Ke'an rescued the soldiers and horses under the command of Meng Xiaotang in time, and they were also grateful, but after all, the other party was the identity of the rebel army who rebelled in the Song Dynasty. When it comes to the scale of the national war, there are doubts about how well the battles and battles are carried out, but when these Liao generals take advantage of their leisure time to learn some ordnance techniques with Lu Junyi, Wu Song and other first-class good players in foot combat, they are also shocked to find that the extravagance of the martial arts of these anti-army leaders, if they only talk about the martial arts of each person, I am afraid that they are far superior to themselves.
These anti-army leaders under Xiao Renxia, looking at the momentum of the military horses under his command, can indeed be a strong reinforcement...... Qu Li out of the Qing and Uli Ke'an and other Liao army generals secretly thought about it in their hearts, but they all personally experienced the tragic battle with the Jurchen tribes, how the Jin army soldiers and horses killed the Liao army, and how terrifying the combat power was Qu Li Chuqing, Uli Ke'an and other Liao generals have also experienced it firsthand.
The Jurchen tribes are fierce and ferocious, if they only rely on their personal martial arts, and even the soldiers under their command are not afraid of life and death... I have to fight hard with the Jin army until the last moment, and I am afraid it is not enough.
However, now that they were camping in the southern coastal area of Pingzhou, waiting for a meeting with Xiao Gan to discuss, Yanjing had to report that there was a large force to support the rest of the Liao army, and when the soldiers and horses who were specifically going to be enemies of the Jin army appeared, they would definitely not be indifferent, but they were afraid that a large army would soon be dispatched to search. When the Jurchen warriors who entered the Nanjing Dao realm found traces of their own soldiers and horses, there must be a tough battle to be fought.
Xiao Tang knew that he had to make a countermeasure, and two carrier pigeons broke through the sky in the camp and soared in the direction of Shuibo Liangshan and Baozhou respectively. At the same time, Xiao Tang made arrangements again, but he taught Xiao Jiasui to allocate a light cavalry, sneak to the vicinity of the Pingzhou Governance Office, and project a headless post into the city, so that Zhang Jue, the main general of the gold reduction in Junzhou, could see it.
Conspired with Xiao Gan, the king of Xi, to resist the Jin, although the Liao generals such as Libi were somewhat resistant, they all knew that Xiao Gan and the Khitan families were self-reliant, and they were more or less forced by the situation to protect themselves, so they listened to Xiao Tang and Xiao Jiasui and others to know the benefits, and they also accepted the arrangement of meeting with them. But when it comes to Pingzhou Zhang Jue, he took the initiative to lead his troops to surrender to the Jin State in order to save his life, and has been the envoy of the Linhai Navy under the rule of the Jin State, so greedy for life and afraid of death, betrayal of the Great Liao, since he has turned against the Jin State, when he meets him again on the battlefield, he is the lackey of the Jin Army, and he must fight to the death, what else do you have to say to him?
However, after some lobbying by Xiao Tang, the remaining generals of the Liao Dynasty who had strong objections to contact Zhang Jue were suspicious, and finally accepted Xiao Tang's proposal to try to secretly submit ciphertext to Zhang Jue. With dates and no dates, even if Zhang Jue's side would not make any changes as Xiao Tang expected, it would not cause any unnecessary damage to his own soldiers and horses.
After another five or six days, Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao led a group of cavalry to Jianli Mountain, which was located not far north of Pingzhou, and finally arrived at the camp where Xiao Tang's department was stationed in the sea.
After Xiao Tang got the report, he also led his troops out of the village with a few henchmen and brothers, but seeing the smoke and dust billowing in the north, the sound of hooves was like thunder, in addition to the headquarters cavalry of Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao, there were still three or two thousand strong horsemen riding forward, but it was a sharp arrow formation that would be guarded by a main general.
The Xi army troops left the base area for self-protection without authorization, and naturally had to be careful to guard whether there were Jin soldiers and horses around along the way, and now they arrived not far in front of the camp, but they still seemed to be in a state of war, and it seemed that the group of soldiers and horses in front of them who were now in a foregone conclusion when the annexation of Nanjing Road by the Jin State had become a foregone conclusion, and they were about to set off a storm and waves, but they seemed to appear out of thin air and did not know where to come from.
Xi Wang Xiao Gan is indeed very distrustful of the group of forces that the Yelu brothers brought him to meet and discuss now, but in the current situation, he can't help but come.
After leaving Yanjing and returning to the territory of the Xi Wangfu where the Xi tribes were entrenched, Xiao Gan ordered the Xi army to gather their defensive positions, strictly guard against patrols, and explore the various soldiers and horses that appeared near their sphere of influence. First of all, the Song army's northern expedition was defeated, and then the Jin army went south to enter the customs, in addition to the army that defected to the Jin country, there were many fleeing people everywhere in Nanjing Road, and there were many people who took the opportunity to make trouble and burned and looted everywhere, and became rogue bandits, who knows that in addition to the Jin army that is indeed a fierce battle, who knows which way of rogue bandits and bandits will be annoyed and offended to the territory of the Xi people?
Today's Xiao Gan, the famous general of the Liao Dynasty who is also called the name of the Xi people, has indeed been born at this time with the intention of establishing himself as the emperor and calling the emperor of the Xi Kingdom, but he did such a move that seems to be a rebellion and completely rebelled against the Liao Dynasty in ordinary times, and it is indeed out of the idea of conveying a signal to the Jin State: My Xi tribes have broken away from the rule of the Liao Dynasty, and at least during this period of time, you Jin Guo will not have to meet each other. You want to annex the Liao State, and the remnants of the forces such as Yelu Yanxi have not been cleared, the emperor of the Liao State is still there, and it is the most important thing for you to clear it first, so don't make any extraneous branches for the time being, instead of forcing my tens of thousands of Xi troops to fight with you to the end.
And Xiao Gan's departure and self-reliance did have an immediate effect, and the trend of the Jin State to stop advancing into the territory entrenched by the Xi people seems to be intending to persuade Xiao Gan to surrender by means of Huairou (in the official history, the generals of the Jin State Wanyan Yanmu and other generals proposed to Wanyan Aguta a plan to attack the territory of the Xi army such as Jiancao Mountain, but after thinking about the current situation, Aguta said: "Return to the rabble to protect the rabble, disobey according to the danger, and the casualties will be many if you attack strongly, if you trap the army, it will inevitably kill itself"...... Sui vetoed the plan to use force to annex the territory of the Xi people as soon as possible, but repeatedly sent envoys to persuade Xiao Gan to surrender, and then make a plan after capturing Yelu Yanxi and completely annexing the entire territory of the Liao Dynasty). However, Xiao Gan also knows very well that his territory is almost in the middle of the territory of the Jin State, and it is out of his last loyalty to Da Liao, and Xiao Gan never intends to surrender to the Jin State, but he also knows very well that if he keeps his own door behind closed doors, if he continues to wear out, he and his tribes will be annihilated by the Jin State sooner or later......
For the time being, Xiao Gan had no choice but to rest on his laurels, and ordered all the soldiers and horses under his command to offend the territory of the Xi people, whether it was the soldiers and horses of the Jin State or the rogues who did not know where they came from, they would all wave their troops to besiege them, and they would be killed without mercy. The Xi tribes have also temporarily escaped the situation of continuous wars, and as an independent force, they have no choice but to continue to wait and see the momentum of the Jin army's invasion of Liao, and do not accept the Huairou lobby of Jin, Song and other parties.
But it was Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao, two children of the Liao Dynasty clan, who came, and conveyed to Xiao Gan a plan to teach him to be very moved. Now that he saw the leader of the opposing army, Xiao Gan's knife-like eyes immediately looked at Xiao Tang who was riding a horse onwards, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: This person is also very bold, and the golden dog's encroachment on Nanjing Road is almost a foregone conclusion, and he dares to come and set off a storm! But it can be as the two sons said...... By his layout and scheduling, it is enough to resolve the danger of the isolation and siege of my Xi people?
