Zhao Gou used the 'anti-intermittent strategy' to escalate the conflict between Emperor Liao Tianzuo and Xiao Puda, and Xiao Pu played a song to ask for reinforcements, but after several days, he still did not get any response. It wasn't until the Holy Decree of Emperor Tianzuo came that Xiao Puda discovered the truth of the matter.

It's just that this truth is a bit cruel, but there is nothing to be done. At this time, it was useless for Xiao Puda to say anything, and he gave up the opportunity to continue arguing, so he was arrested, and he did not resist. Even if the Jinyang army was resentful, Xiao Puda still ordered the army to guard Jinshan County well, so as not to give the Song army a chance.

"Spread the holy decree, today General Xiao is a very popular minister, but he doesn't want to think about me, the frontline is tight, and he has no time to take care of himself, how to send troops? I also heard that General Xiao and the commander of the Song army drank and talked happily, like brothers, what do I think? ”

"Where is my face? You are deeply favored by the emperor, but you don't want to be loyal to the country, but you want to defect to the Song Dynasty, which is a great crime of rebellion, and you should be killed by the nine clans. However, God has the virtue of a good life, I will inevitably kill innocents indiscriminately, as the commander of the Jinyang Army, you are derelict in your duties, and you want to betray Da Liao, I give you self-judgment and apology! ”

Xiao Pu bowed down without changing his face and said, "The minister accepts the order!" ”

"General Xiao, this is sent by the emperor's special villain, I guess the military is no stranger!" The eunuch asked his entourage to give him a sharp sword, which was used by Xiao Puda, and it was also the sword that Emperor Tianzuo rewarded and later recovered, and it was also the sword used by Xiao Puda for self-determination.

"Dashuai, never!" The soldiers shouted loudly, and some even confronted the envoys sent from Shangjing, and almost got into a fight with them. Now they only need Xiao Pu to give an order, they can forget everything, and they must leave all these people in Jinshan County.

"Stop, y'all!" Xiao Puda reprimanded angrily, "What kind of system is this, this is the emperor's will, as a minister, you should obey it, and you dare not disobey it in the slightest." If you do do it, where will you put my reputation, haven't you forgotten that I am still handsome? ”

"Dashuai!" Everyone turned around to look at Xiao Puda, they were very angry in their hearts, all this was for Xiao Puda's worthlessness.

Xiao Pu fought half his life and made great achievements. Even the tens of thousands of troops of the Song army were tied with them, and the two sides could not take advantage of the slightest. However, Xiao Pu, as the commander of Liao, did not die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of his own people, which made the generals very sad and angry, and they couldn't wait to turn back immediately.

Xiao Puda said in a deep voice again: "You all stop, Jinshan still needs you to guard, don't give the enemy any chance." In addition, as a general of my brothers, I have passed on the last military order, not to be disrespectful to the envoys, and you must take good care of the local people. ”

Then, Xiao Puda asked Xiao Zhengming to enter the tent with him, and when he saw the envoy coming, he guessed the will, and his cousin could not escape this fate. Although the holy decree did not say it explicitly, Emperor Tianzuo must have sent a secret decree, otherwise when they looked at Xiao Zhengming, they would have the same eyes, as if they were dead people.

"Zhengming, it looks like we're doomed!"

Xiao Zhengming said angrily: "Brother, do you really obey the emperor's will? ”

"Must be complied with!" Xiao Pu replied loudly, "If there is the slightest disrespect, not only the reputation of you and my brothers, but also the reputation of the ancestors and others will be ruined. Besides, today we two brothers are given to die together, and there must be something wrong with this. ”

"Isn't it the commander of the Song Army?" Xiao Zhengming thought about it, and there was only this answer.

Xiao Pu nodded and said, "The commander of the Song Army is really talented, and he is the most resourceful in my battles over the years. Originally, I thought I could continue to fight, but I was afraid that there would be no chance. If I'm right, this matter has something to do with them. ”

"Despicable and shameless!" As a general, he should have won and lost on the battlefield, and he actually used such a method, which made Xiao Zhengming very sad and angry.

"This is their ploy succeeded, and it can be said that I lost at his hands!" Xiao Puda smiled and said, "The war is so cruel, it's not that I haven't thought of this method, it's just that all the spies we put in Song have been removed." ”

"It can be said that it is in vain to think about it but there is no way to achieve it! However, they did it, and I admire it! In fact, the emperor has always been suspicious of me, and I know this better than anyone else. It's just that I rarely take it to heart, but I didn't expect this suspicion to be infinitely magnified, and this consequence can only be borne by myself. ”

"If I die, if there really is anything in case, you must remember to hide as soon as possible and don't show up. Remember, the Xiao family's incense still depends on you to continue, if you don't do it, even if you die, I can't turn a blind eye, so you must promise me, you must live well. ”

"Brother, this ......," Xiao Zhengming said eagerly.

Xiao Pu said with a thousand instructions: "Who has not died in life since ancient times, but it is a pity that he did not die on the battlefield, but died on conspiracy, which is really a pity!" …… Okay, you can go out, and then you can leave quickly, and nothing can happen. ”

Xiao Zhengming wanted to say something, but was driven out by Xiao Pu, and the past was heavy in his mind, and then he pulled out his sword and killed himself. At that time, Xiao Zhengming had already turned around and left, but he didn't escape, and after he got out of the tent, he was immediately caught by the guards, and then went on the road with Xiao Puda.

"You're victorious, I'm defeated!"

This is the last thing in Xiao Puda's mind, he is really unwilling. It's just that from another point of view, he is very happy that the war has finally been quelled. Perhaps death is also a relief for him, and it is much better to sit on pins and needles.

"Dashuai!"

As Xiao Puda's body was carried out, the generals outside the tent all knelt on their knees and sent Xiao Puda away, some of them cried so much that their eyes were red, and some of them couldn't bear it. As the news of Xiao Pu's death spread, the Song army had already begun to attack in a big way, without any mercy.

At the same time, Zhao Gou personally led the army to attack, losing Xiao Puda's operational command, no matter who was in charge of the Jinyang army, he could not do it smoothly, not only the footsteps were chaotic, but even the formation was chaotic, and finally Jinshan County was broken by the Song army.

The pillar of the Liao army is Xiao Puda, without the commander's generals, the Liao army does not have a good formation to attack and meet the enemy, and some are just teammates who died on the battlefield and fell in a pool of blood. In the end, Zhao sent an order for them to surrender and give up resistance.

Sure enough, Xiao Pu's death ignited their anger, and after the siege of the army led by Zhao Gou, their combat effectiveness was reduced a lot, and some simply defected, just because this incident made them really cold, and a conscientious general was said to have a heart of disobedience, which made everyone speechless, and more helpless.
