Maozhou, outside Jizong Pass, under Jiuding Mountain, 150,000 Liao soldiers are stationed here!

On Jiuding Mountain, Xiao Duolubu, dressed in a leather coat, even if he is now the commander of the three armies, he can hardly hide his scholarly temperament.

Back then, he traveled south alone, just to have a glimpse of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, but now he came with a large army, but suddenly stopped when he arrived here!

Gazing into the south, it seems to be waiting for something.

At this time, a thin general walked over, but his appearance was somewhat similar to Xiao Duolubu. This person is his younger brother Xiao Pugu Shali, and he is also the pioneer of the southward journey this time!

"Marshal, the morale of our army is high, why should we stop the army from moving forward, if it weren't for being so slow, our Liao army would have already arrived in Chengdu to join the Xia army!" [Xiao Pu Gu Shali] said this, with a bit of complaint in his tone.

"My army has traveled thousands of miles for a few days, and I will temporarily rest outside this Jizong Pass, isn't this commander's move wrong?" Xiao Duolubu didn't look back at Xiao Pugu Shali, but this kind of bland questioning had a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

[Xiao Pugu Shali] looked stunned, then changed his smiling face, and hurriedly explained: "You are the commander of this southern expedition, and there will be no mistake in deciding, but if you miss the best opportunity this time, then all the benefits will be occupied by the Xia army......"

"Let's wait!" Xiao Duolubu was silent for a while, and finally said such a sentence for no reason.

"Wait? Dashuai, we are here to go south this time, but it is not your tour of the mountains and rivers back then, you ......"

"Bastard! You still need to figure out the decision of this handsome!? ”

"Foolish brother doesn't dare!"

At this moment, a scout horse hurried to the bottom of the mountain, and then the scout quickly climbed the Nine Peaks Mountain.

"Report!"

"How's the military situation up front?"

"Returning to the marshal, yesterday the Xia army and the Song army fought in Chengdu, and then 30,000 Song army iron cavalry in strange costumes caused the Xia army to be wiped out within one day, and the Xia army generals and prime ministers died in the chaos of the army, only the Xia lord Li Renyou wolf bèi escaped!"

"What! The 200,000 army was wiped out!? ”

"Yes!"

"This is impossible, just 30,000 Song troops can destroy 200,000 troops in one day, this is just a joke, come on, drag down this rammed goods who don't report the truth and cut it down!"

The reason why this is so is because this military situation is too ridiculous, not to mention the disparity in strength between the two armies, let's just say that the number of 200,000 people, it takes a long time to chop wood with a knife, not to mention the elite Xixia Corps.

"Wait!"

Xiao Duolubu stopped his brother's so-called decision, but the expression on his face was a little strange, which was both surprised and questioning, both delighted and speechless......

"Dashuai, don't you think it's true?"

"What, you think it's impossible?"

"Joke! I've been in intermittent confrontation with the Xia Kingdom for many years, don't you know anything about their military strength? Not to mention that the number of the Xia State army is now 200,000, even the 50,000 Iron Harrier Army, my Daliao elite has to avoid three points, not to mention the gang of wrecks in the Southern Song Court in the Jiangnan!? ”

[Xiao Pu Gu Zhi Shali] analysis is reasonable, although it has the meaning of burying and belittling the Song army, but it also talks about the actual situation that has been formed for many years.

Western Xia, this tenacious and immortal little powerhouse, first submitted to the Northern Song Dynasty, and then established itself as a king and became a country.

However, the big brother of the Northern Song Dynasty has always had nothing to do with Western Xia, and finally had to acquiesce to the self-reliance of Western Xia.

Then, after many pressures and coercion from Liao and Jin, they were able to stand tall and exist among the countries, which is enough to show the strength and domineering of military strength.

[Xiao Pu Gu Shali] felt that the scout's reward was ridiculous, but then the scout fell to the ground and begged: "What the villain said is true, then the Song army doesn't know what firearms they used, and they can be projected from a long distance, which caused the Xia army to break up......."

"Firearms!? Is it a firearm in our army? Xiao Duolubu calmed down a lot, so he hurriedly asked the root of the matter.

"No, that firearm doesn't need a trebuchet, and it doesn't need to ignite the fire core, it can explode directly by the sergeant, and the power is a hundred times stronger than the firearm in the army!"

"There are still firearms in this world that are not ignited, so can they still be called firearms? Dashuai, this rammer is talking nonsense again! ”

"Report!"

The second group of scout horses came to the bottom of the mountain and quickly climbed the mountain!

Subsequently, under the urging of [Xiao Pu Gu Shali], what was described was almost the same as what the scout said!

"Report!"

“……”

In just half an hour, three successive groups of scouts reported back, and the battle situation described was also roughly the same.

"This ...... This can't be, what kind of firearm is this, it doesn't even need to be ignited!? ”

After three batches of scouts, Xiao Duolubu's face changed from slightly questioning, and instantly became a little solemn: "In this world, there is nothing impossible for a genius!" ”

"Dashuai, what do you mean ......?"

"This friend of my brother has always done everything to surpass the ancients, and now he can make such a sharp weapon, although it is very unbelievable, but it is also reasonable!"

[Xiao Pu Gu Shali] was still very skeptical: "Even with the help of such firearms, how can the 30,000 Song army ......?"

"This is the Battle Cloud Iron Horse that he trained privately, although his combat power has never been seen before, but now it seems that it is definitely not idle!" Xiao Duolubu turned around and interrupted [Xiao Pugu Shali].

"Battle Cloud Iron Rider!?"

Hearing this, Xiao Pu Gu Shali looked slightly surprised and said: "The eldest brother knows so much about Ye Yu of the Song Kingdom, and now he is stagnant, isn't it ......"

Speaking of this, there is no follow-up, but the implication has been fully revealed.

At this time, Xiao Duolubu did not hide it, but said bluntly: "You guessed right, Brother Wei reached an agreement with him in private, and this agreement is not harmless to my Liao State......

At the top of Jiuding Mountain, Xiao Duolubu recounted a personal agreement between him and Ye Yu.

The two met seven years ago, and they once competed for the champion in the same hall together, and then the two became friends who knew each other, and even before Xiao Duolubu left, he also gave a precious token symbolizing the king of the southern courtyard.

Some friends, even though they get together all the time, are difficult to know and fellowship;

And some friends, even though they haven't seen each other for many years, are thousands of miles apart, but they still remember it in their hearts and never forget it.

Obviously, Xiao Duolubu and Ye Yu belong to the latter, although the two have not seen each other over the years, their correspondence with each other is very frequent.

Especially after the message of the Iron Claw Black Hawk, the correspondence between the two has been shortened!

Not long ago, Ye Yu's letter made Xiao Duolubu hesitate.

Because Ye Yujian asked him to suspend the pace of the march for a day or two, so that the Song army and the Western Xia soldiers had enough opportunities to confront each other head-on.

The two results analyzed by Ye Yu in the letter gave Xiao Duolubu no reason to refuse.

Ye Yu analyzed in the letter that if the Song army was defeated by the Western Xia army, the Western Xia army would definitely hurt its vitality.

And if the Song army was lucky enough to wipe out the Western Xia soldiers and horses, the Western Liao could consider whether to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty and jointly annex the Western Xia from both sides.

Ye Yu's positive and negative points, in fact, Xiao Duolubu only valued the first point, because he was not optimistic that the Song army would be able to exterminate the main army of Western Xia.

Although Western Liao had feuds with Western Xia and Jin, the Liao people were very eager to seek revenge on these two countries.

But persimmons always pick up soft pinching, in the face of absolute strength, even if the hatred can only be endured first, but unite with the enemy to bully the weak Southern Song Dynasty that has been suppressed.

Ye Yu's analysis in the letter is extremely reasonable, being able to reap the benefits of the fisherman is what everyone wants, and although Xiao Duolubu is the commander of this southern invasion, he does not want to confront Ye Yu's army head-on.

After all, the two were friends in the past, and now they have become enemies of confrontation, and if there is a reasonable solution, of course he hopes that the two can turn enemies into friends.

This is the different feeling of a literati as a coach, in the face of absolute reason, there will always be personal emotions mixed in it.

Prone to various considerations, Xiao Duolubu finally agreed to Ye Yu's request, anyway, for him, delaying for a day and a half is an inconsequential matter.

In his opinion, this time the coalition forces attacked Chengdu, and it didn't matter whether he had the Da Liao army to join or not, rather than consuming troops with the enemy, it was better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight in order to gain strength.

Moreover, in Xiao Duolubu's heart, there is also a faint little expectation, he really hopes that Ye Yu can create a miracle, and then the two will not face each other as enemies.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that after only a day of stagnation at the foot of Jiuding Mountain, the main army of the Western Xia Army was actually killed by the Song Army!

The stagnation of this day is nothing for the Western Liao army, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ye Yu, because if it weren't for the borrowed day, Western Xia and Western Liao would join forces to besiege Chengdu City.

After listening to Xiao Duolubu's story, [Xiao Pugu Shali] said coldly: "Big brother, you are the commander of the three armies of the Great Liao, because the words of a Song man actually delayed the military aircraft, do you know that such an act is a serious crime!" ”

"Since Brother Wei told you, he didn't treat you as an outsider, this is an agreement between Brother Wei and Ye Yu, oh no, it should be an agreement between Zhao Chen, the king of loyalty, and it is not harmful to my Da Liao, but it is beneficial!"

"Advantageous? Hmph, does the eldest brother really want to join forces with Song Ting to attack Xia Guo? ”

"Now that the main force of the Xia army has been lost, if our army and the Song army jointly attack at this time, it is not difficult to annex the country of the party people, isn't this a great opportunity for our Khitan to take revenge?"

[Xiao Pu Gu Shali] disagreed, and snorted coldly: "Foolish brother thinks it's inappropriate, this is a violation of the treaty between the three kingdoms before the war, and even if the main force of the Xia army has been lost now, but the country's strong defense force is still there, if during this period, the Jin State Iron Cavalry galloped to the aid of the party, then wouldn't we ......"

"What, you're scared!?"
