Chapter 316: A Word Breaks

Among the important ministers of the court, Xiao Hui is one of the few people who sees the problem, but unfortunately, he can't say how to stop it, he can't say that he thinks that Yuan Hao has not yet reached the state of exhaustion of the oil lamp, and he will not surrender so easily?

As the core of Xiao Hui, although Zhou Wenxiu did not have the ability to participate in the meeting of Liao Xingzong, he could know everything that was currently happening in the court through Xiao Hui.

When he heard that many people were inclined to negotiate peace with Yuan Hao and get some compensation at a price, he knew that Yuan Hao's conspiracy had been achieved again.

Sometimes I have to admit that Yuan Hao is really a talented person, to a certain extent, he can even be described as a chosen one, he is not only proficient in combat, but also when luck comes, at the right time, he often does the most correct thing, this time is the same, in a profound grasp of the psychological state of Liao, the application of deception is elusive.

After the initial advantage of going to the country, and even deep into the territory of Western Xia, but people are sleepy and lacking, under the harassment of Western Xia, some of them can't cope with the premise, many people have already retired, at this time, as long as Western Xia shows strong attack power, defeat is like a mountain, it is not impossible to appear.

In fact, there are very few people who can see this, even if it is Xiao Hui, he only faintly feels that something is wrong, how to say, the Liao State has penetrated deep into the interior of Western Xia, opened up one barrier after another, and finally may attack the core of Western Xia, in this case, it is reasonable to take the initiative to surrender.

Zhao Xin can see that it is because he is familiar with history and knows that this battle is how the Liao State was deceived.

It can't be said that the Liao State is all stupid, and Liao Xingzong is also a promising king of the Liao State, whether it is Xiao Hui, the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, or Yelu Chongyuan, the emperor's younger brother, they are all the choice of one party, not to mention the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

They didn't see it, and even brought it up, just because Yuan Hao pretended to be too similar, and the crusade of Liao Xingzong at that time was a bit like a lesson from the eldest brother to the younger brother, not to destroy the Western Xia, the existence of the Western Xia is still beneficial to the Liao State, at least from the northwest to contain the Northern Song Dynasty.

Even on the ultimatum to Western Xia, it only made Yuan Hao give in, quit the party tribes that had been invaded, and handed over the murderer who killed the envoy of the Liao State, and even said nothing about the death of the princess.

But in Yuan Hao's view, this is the enemy, he deliberately thought of any way, borrowed all the conditions that could be used, and made the deception plan miraculous.

Zhao Xin deduced the cause from the results, and counted some of Yuan Hao's personalities, although Yuan Hao is a military genius, but this military genius is more like a coincidence.

Yuan Hao's background is destined for him, it is impossible to get too profound military books, he is more like a talent, in a flash of inspiration in his mind, he grasped the key steps, more, but he was irritable and unwilling to compromise.

These are all things that the Northern Song Dynasty can't see, and through the clues, it can be deduced, and it's really the case, and then look at it in the whole story, the possibility of fraud is great.

Now, everything will go according to the script given by the Privy Council, and the final result will go without saying, if Yuan Hao's loss is higher, for example, the Iron Harrier will lose more than half, maybe Yuan Hao will really choose to surrender, but now, it is only more than 20,000 losses, of which the main cavalry is only about 5,000 people, how can Yuan Hao surrender?

Before, all the arrangements and all the reminders of the Privy Council informed Zhou Wenxiu that the Privy Council's calculations were terrible, and now everything has been verified, Yuan Hao is also on the surrender table and is ready to surrender, Zhou Wenxiu knows that the most critical battle may be about to appear.

To put it bluntly, Yuan Hao's talent is really a mess, and it is unceremonious to say that without Yuan Hao, Western Xia would have been destroyed by the Northern Song Dynasty or the Liao State many times, this time, when Liao Xingzong came over, they made the right choice in the crisis.

At this time, Zhou Wenxiu, unlike when he had just joined Xiao Hui, went through a series of battles, especially the first battle, and defeated almost 10,000 people, and even made him enter the eyes of Liao Xingzong.

According to Xiao Hui's suggestion, all his rewards were not only arranged at a small discount, but even obtained a higher level, Liao Xingzong didn't know what kind of mentality it was, and instead of upgrading his position, he upgraded his title, even higher than the highest title that the Zhou family had ever achieved.

This made Zhou Wenxiu receive a lot of jealous eyes, and some generals, even generals, did not get the title, but a Han person obtained it.

Fortunately, there are few such people, anyone who has made a difference in the army and is in power, knows that military power is important, those nobles, which one of them did not have a high title before entering the barracks, but what about really entering the army?

These are useless, whether they are upgraded or not, this will not be able to go to the highest meeting.

Even if it is on it, what is the use, even the advice of the important minister Xiao Hui, Liao Xingzong wants to listen to it, and if he doesn't want to hear it, he won't listen to it, in this case, Zhou Wenxiu, even if he is in it, what can he do, it is better to be honest under Xiao Hui.

He is a young courtier, he doesn't have anything to handle, and even his foundation in the court is very poor, under this premise, how can he affect Liao Xingzong,

It's better to influence Xiao Hui, in Zhou Wenxiu's opinion, instead of influencing the moody Liao Xingzong, it is better to influence Xiao Hui, he is an excellent and mature commander, and many starting points are to put on the aspects that are really beneficial to the war and the Liao State, which is the biggest reminder given to him by the Privy Council.

Although Zhou Wenxiu was a dead room, he served the Great Song Dynasty, but in this Liaoxia War, he was on the side of the Liao State, and only by letting the Liao State go to victory and greatly weakening the Western Xia could it be in line with the interests of the Northern Song Dynasty, even if it was because of this, the Liao State would not hesitate to occupy a certain advantage.

It is this purpose that makes Zhou Wenxiu like a fish in water, even if Xiao Hui, from Zhou Wenxiu's actions, noticed a little bit different from usual, and did not rashly make a move, after all, this is beneficial to Liao, and it also increases Liao's hope of winning from the side.

The Privy Council also has a lot of preparations for this time, mainly in three aspects, and the final killer feature is that if the Liao State has suffered too much loss before, and has lost a lot of logistics and weapons, there will be a batch of weapons that are enough to equip 20,000 people and a large amount of grain and grass.

Zhou Wenxiu didn't dare to tell Xiao Hui this time that there was still a batch of weapons, and the previous food had already made Xiao Hui suspicious, if he was using weapons directly, it would not be that he would not recruit himself, and the strength of the Zhou family would not be able to get these weapons.

This is the choice of 10,000 steps back, which is in the desperate situation of the Liao State, take out these things, and give them to the Liao State to use desperately, so that the Liao State and the Western Xia can fight to the death to the greatest extent, and both sides will lose.

In a desperate situation, even if you drink to quench your thirst, you can do it, not to mention a little doubtful, as long as it's not a trap.

In this way, although the goal has been achieved, this dead room is equivalent to abolishing, and it is necessary to drink a donkey to quench your thirst at a critical time, but after quenching your thirst, when you finally turn around, don't you consider this reasonableness?

At this time, it is equivalent to being exposed, either run or die!

Until the last resort, Zhou Wenxiu will not easily expose his identity, for the time being, it is not an absolute disadvantage, he will not take out this batch of resources, but remind Xiao Hui to pay attention to Yuan Hao's fraud.

This is a very crucial reminder that sometimes, breaking a certain key point can bankrupt some plots.

Xiao Hui had already faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, which was also the reason why he didn't tell Liao Xingzong directly, and now, Zhou Wenxiu, whom he valued, suddenly grasped this key, and in an instant, he figured it out.

That's right, only the deception can explain why Yuan Hao is doing such a strange thing.

Xiao Hui looked at Zhou Wenxiu with some astonishment, Zhou Wenxiu's talent was recognized by him, and he was also regarded as the unparalleled commander in the future, but he was too young, young means inexperience, it means that he can't see so deeply, why can he see it.

The situation was urgent, Xiao Hui didn't think about it a lot, he felt that Zhou Wenxiu should have his own secrets, but all of this had no impact on the Liao State, so he took it for granted that this was just the Zhou family's order to support Zhou Wenxiu.

This is also normal, the Zhou family has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history among the older generation, and the new people have not grown up, with Zhou Wenxiu, an outstanding person who can be called a young talent, the Zhou family must go all out, since the Zhou family can make arrangements in the oasis, they must have considered this issue very early, and it is normal to come up with this.

Thinking about all this, Xiao Hui simply let go of his heart, before, there had always been a strong sense of urgency, but now he is not so anxious.

Yuan Hao's deception plan, when it is not used, is very terrible, but once it is exposed, he will inevitably attack with the help of deception, he Han Wang has 60,000 troops, including 5,000 heavy cavalry, as long as he is not chaotic and has some preparations, Yuan Hao can still cross him to attack Liao Xingzong.

As a senior courtier, Xiao Hui knows very well that the current trend of the entire Liao Imperial Court, Liao Xingzong and many ministers already have the intention of retreating, in this case, to convince, it is necessary to persuade a large number of people, it is better to be prepared and let Yuan Hao show his feet.

After taking a deep look at Zhou Wenxiu, Xiao Hui began to prepare, and did not even use all the personnel, just more than 20,000 people in the core, and the rest, according to the usual attitude, only slightly informed the officers above the battalion level to be on guard.
