"Alas! ……”

The man sighed to himself, he asked himself to go late at night, and deliberately disguised, nothing more than not to attract everyone's attention, no one found out his identity, and then left.

If he really wanted to invite merit, he wouldn't have stayed in the prisoner of war camp for so many days, and he would have jumped out to identify himself, but he didn't expect that Zhao Gou had always been reluctant to let them go, so he could only wait anxiously in the Song army camp. It's just that he didn't expect to be discovered by Zhao Gou, which made him very helpless.

"How did the handsome find out that I was that person?" I wanted to quibble, but when I saw Zhao Gou's determined eyes, he knew that no matter how much justification he had, he couldn't make it clear, so it was better to admit it.

Zhao Gou said with a smile: "The general went late at night, I can't possibly do it, so I deliberately wrote down your appearance and characteristics, and came to look for it when the matter is over, but the matter is busy, so that the general is tired!" ”

"It's okay!" The man shook his head with a smile and exclaimed, "The general has good eyesight and subtle observation, which is really rare. ”

The man was fully armed, and disguised his appearance, just worried about it. However, Zhao Gou did not let go of the slightest suspicion and looked for it step by step.

Zhao Gou said: "It's over!" I have come to see the general today because I am very confused about something, and I have come to seek answers. ”

"What the general wants to ask is, why do I help you?" The man continued Zhao Gou's words and said, "I help you for two reasons, one is that this matter must be helped, and the other is that I am entrusted by others. ”

"Entrusted?" Zhao Gou was willing to hear the details and quietly waited for his answer.

"Xiao Puda!" The man seemed to be recalling something, his face was full of sadness, and his words word by word surprised Zhao Gou.

"What? Is it General Xiao? Zhao Gou was really shocked, even Zhao Yougong was stunned, he didn't expect it to be Xiao Pu.

"Dashuai has won many victories, and Brother Xiao has written many times to praise your ability. In his heart, Dashuai is not only an opponent, but also a confidant! The man said, "Because of Brother Xiao's letter, I mentioned the skills of the handsome, and I also said that I want to meet you and have a good time." ”

"At first, I heard that he had this idea and persuaded him, but he didn't care, thinking that it was worth paying any price. The final result, I don't say that the handsome should be clear! If it weren't for Brother Xiao being framed, it would be a little difficult to break through Ruzhou and defeat the Jinyang army! ”

"Brother Xiao's ability, looking at the entire Great Liao, there are only a handful. Although he was not born as a military general and became a monk halfway, even I admired his military talent. It's just that his identity is very sensitive, especially at this critical moment, in the end, Emperor Liao Tianzuo destroyed the city wall, otherwise it would be a waste of effort for the marshal to capture Nanjing City. ”

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong were silent, what he said was indeed true. Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the Song army has never been defeated, but it has been planted in the hands of Xiao Puda. Moreover, if he succeeds in a sneak attack, if he really blows up at that time, I am afraid that the Song army will suffer heavy losses.

However, Xiao Puda did not take advantage of the weakness, but after giving the blow, he did not attack. This incident is also the result of Zhao Gou's analysis after the fact. Because of this, Zhao Gou decided to bring wine, which can be regarded as a return gift.

However, Zhao Gou never dreamed that the person in front of him would have a close relationship with Xiao Puda. Even the other generals didn't know about the relationship between the two of them, and it was estimated that only a few of them knew about it.

If it weren't for Xiao Pu's special identity, he wouldn't have aroused the suspicion of Emperor Tianzuo. It can be said that Zhao Gou's victory is partly due to luck. Because of Song Huizong's trust in him, Emperor Tianzuo's suspicion of Xiao Pu was unwilling to transfer troops, and in the end he killed generals in wartime, which can be said to be a rare thing in ancient and modern times.

"Dare to ask what is the relationship between the general and Brother Xiao?" Zhao Gou looked at him intently.

"Eight worships, brothers who have died!" The man replied loudly that he and Xiao Puda were brothers in life and death who had been friends for eight worships.

Zhao nodded knowingly, he also guessed. If it weren't for life and death brothers, how could there be no secrets, and tell them all.

"At the beginning, everyone didn't understand Brother Xiao, but I can understand. I wanted to intercede, but he was thwarted, because he knew that no matter how much he interceded, it would be useless. ”

The man was full of remorse, his red eyes were full of tears, and he whispered resentfully, "If it weren't for other reasons, how could I have followed his advice." ”

The boy has tears and doesn't flick, but he hasn't reached the sad place!

Xiao Pu fought with his brother in life and death, and after eight worships, it was impossible for him to watch his brother die in battle, but he did nothing. He had asked for help countless times, but he was rejected again and again, which made him powerless and full of resentment.

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong can both understand his mood, and it is a pity to name the rescue, just because he is too rigid and does not know how to be flexible, he will miss the opportunity and miss the rescue, and this regret and pain make him miserable.

"Because this is what Brother Xiao meant, after he met you, he spoke more highly of you, and also told me that you must rest assured that you will lead the army."

"So, he advised me to do what I wanted, and that's why I went in the dead of night. When I saw Dashuai, I was shocked, but the result still made me impressed with you, and it was all worth it! ”

"Thank you!" Zhao Gou thanked him sincerely, and then asked, "Then why do you have to help Yu Da Song, general?" ”

"Why?" At the mention of this, the man's tears flowed out, and he grinned with tears in his eyes: "Because I am a Song person!" ”

"What?" Zhao Yougong and Zhao Gou were shocked, looking at each other, their faces full of incredulity.

After a few moments, both of them calmed down. After careful consideration, they found that this was the only reason that would make him take the risk. Because he is a Song person and a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is not only the wish of Song Huizong and others, but also his lifelong marriage.

Now that this wish has finally come true, there is bitterness in his tears, joy in suffering, and more contentment.

Xiao Puda knew his identity, so he told Zhao Gou's affairs and his opinion of him, that is, to check it and know his intentions, then he would become a brother. Because the current Khitan is not as good as in the past, and Xiao Puda is also suppressed in many ways, which makes him extremely disappointed in the Khitan, it is better to become a brother and let him return to the Great Song Dynasty to reunite with his family.

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong looked at him stunned, letting him shed tears. At this moment, Zhao Gou knew why Xiao Puda had said to himself that it was still a good wine of the Song Dynasty, and he hadn't tasted this taste for a long time.

If I didn't guess wrong, the reason why Xiao Puda drank it should have been drunk with him by the person in front of him. Even if you can't enter the Great Song Dynasty, you can use your own means to brew fine wine, so Xiao Puda will say such things.

At that time, Zhao Gou also asked, but Xiao Pu laughed and said nothing, and told himself mysteriously, and he would know when the time came. It turned out that all this was in Xiao Puda's control, and he knew that Zhao Gou would meet the person in front of him, and all this was because Xiao Puda knew some things he didn't know, including the plans of the person in front of him.
