After Xiao Lili led his army to flee to the Five Kingdoms City, he did not plan to continue his escape.

Because of this continuous chase for two days and two nights, not only was the entire army already sleepy, but even his old body could not withstand this bump.

Along the way, there were few decent cities and areas to hold onto, but now they can be used as a base in these five cities, which can not only rest a little but also resist the Song army in the rear.

Although this desolate and humble city of the Five Kingdoms may not be able to hold it, it is better than nothing. In Xiao Weili's view, blindly running away will only drag, collapse, and drag his own army to death.

Looking at the soldiers who were like frightened birds, Xiao Weili couldn't help but sigh slightly, why did the dignified Khitan 100,000 soldiers end up in such an embarrassing situation.

As soon as the sad mood came up, he thought of his two dead sons, and thought of Yelu Zhanshuo, who had died in the army not long ago, and his eyes, which were dry from the cold wind, were filled with moist tears under the lamplight.

Although Yelu Zhanshuo is a member of the Western Liao royal family, he is also the son-in-law of his Xiao family.

Now in order to cut off the army, he died tragically at the hands of the Song army, which is equivalent to ruthlessly tearing the old scars of the past again!

However, in just three years, he lost three relatives in a row, the pain of losing his two sons, and the pain of his son-in-law dying in battle.

Now in the city of the Five Kingdoms, Xiao Huli has long been downbeat about his own death, and what he is most worried about now is how to break free the army under his command from the pursuit and encirclement of the Song army.

Because he knew that his country could no longer withstand the attrition of his troops, he could only wait quietly for the signal he had sent before to be answered, and that his own army would come to his aid.

Xiao Weili thorn planned to do so, and at the same time, he did the same after entering the Five Kingdoms City. He had already ordered his generals to quickly repair the city walls and organize fortifications, and made a plan to defend the city of the Five Kingdoms.

Compared with the tense atmosphere of the Western Liao army, the 350,000 Song troops who came after it seemed much more relaxed.

The army chased the Five Kingdoms City, and Wu Ting knew that he had initially completed the task assigned to him by His Majesty, so after the army arrived, he commanded the army to adopt a siege posture against the Five Kingdoms City.

In the command camp of the Song army, Wu Ting and a group of generals gathered together.

When everyone praised Wu Ting, the handsome commander, Wu Ting did not dare to accept it at all, but said humbly: "You really praise this handsome, all of this depends on Your Majesty's wisdom, and this Shuai is just implementing it for Your Majesty!" ”

Wu Ting's words made everyone nod their heads, and there was no lack of compliments in their words.

This is a kind of tacit understanding between superiors and subordinates, whether this battle is commanded by the emperor or not, then this meritorious hat must first be worn on the emperor's head, and then they are subordinates.

But if it is the other way around, then the hat of the crime of defeat in the first place will be ruthlessly buckled on the head of the vassal, and the emperor will push the responsibility away.

What kind of mentality is everyone, Wu Ting is reluctant to think deeply, but for him, even if he knows that His Majesty is recuperating in Bianjing today, he feels that Ye Yu's figure is lingering around him all the time.

Shangjing, which the Western Liao army has been unable to attack for a long time, why has it become an empty city in just two days, and why the Jin army, which resisted to the death, surrendered silently, and cooperated with the Song army very tacitly to play a plan to catch turtles in an urn!?

All this is the inside story, he Wu Ting knows nothing, he only knows the simple results, and the implementation of the step-by-step tasks given to him by His Majesty today.

He was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, and he could have been in charge of the war alone, but now that the situation had come to this point, he knew that he was not just an agent, but more precisely, a pawn.

Moreover, after the Western Liao army withdrew north from the Five Kingdoms City, Wu Ting's feeling became more and more intense, which made Wu Ting feel surprised and admired Ye Yuyou, who was far away in Bianjing.

The so-called people are not as good as the sky, that is, the plan can't catch up with the changes, he is in accordance with the order given by Ye Yu to chase the Liao army in the direction of the Five Kingdoms City, but no one is sure whether Xiao Weili will stay in the Five Kingdoms City.

If he stayed in the Five Kingdoms City, then his task of chasing and encircling the Liao army would be completed, but if the Liao army simply continued to flee north, it would be really difficult for his 350,000 troops to encircle.

But this is how a miracle happened, now His Majesty said that he was besieging the Liao army in the city of the Five Kingdoms, and the Liao army really stayed in the city of the five countries, waiting for his army to come and besiege it.

The situation on the battlefield can be described as changing rapidly; People's behaviors and behaviors have their own arbitrariness.

However, this kind of uncertain variable of dual nature was firmly controlled and positioned by Ye Yu, who was thousands of miles away, which made him feel admired by Wu Ting, but also felt a chill behind him.

When everyone dispersed, only Wu Ting and Gu Xifeng were left in the tent.

"Marshal, this is His Majesty's secret decree, please take a look!" Gu Xifeng immediately got up, took out the secret decree from his arms and presented it to Wu Ting.

Wu Ting saw that the secret intent dared to be lazy, so he hurriedly stood up and respectfully completed the secret intrigue.

Then he opened it gently, looked at the holy intent in it, and after he saw it, he couldn't help but gasp, and looked up at Gu Xifeng beside him: "General Gu, Your Majesty has such an arrangement!?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Your Majesty's arrangement, it's really refreshing for Wu!" Wu Ting said, but also smiled, "But this move really washed away the shame of my Great Song Dynasty for many years!" ”

In the early morning of the next day, when the war drums sounded, the Song army had already lined up in a phalanx, and Wu Ting personally came to the front of the formation to invite Xiao Weili to stab the front one.

For Wu Ting's request, out of this extraordinary period, Xiao Weili should have refused directly, but in order not to demoralize, he still resolutely crossed the horse and came outside the city.

"King Xiao, it's been a long time!" Wu Ting looked at Xiao Weili, who was over the age of sixteen in front of him, and then bowed slightly and hugged his fists, which was regarded as a salute on horseback.

"The name of General Wu, this king has heard it for a long time, I don't know what to say before inviting this king?"

"King Xiao must have seen the current situation clearly, in this small city of the Five Kingdoms, how long can King Xiao survive? Here, Wu advises King Xiao that it is better to make a wise move as soon as possible, otherwise it will ......"

"Humph! This king is the king of the Southern Courtyard of Daliao, and the Xiao family has been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, how can he make a shameless act of surrendering to the enemy before the battle!? General Wu's words are not intended to tarnish the reputation of this king!? ”

Xiao Weili listened to Wu Ting's persuasion, and scolded angrily at that time, showing no mercy.

"King Xiao, Wu has a lot of good intentions, you don't want to go your own way."

"Wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, and there are more than half a sentence of speculation, this king respects you as a well-known figure, so he will spend more time with you here, since General Wu has nothing else to say, then this king will not accompany him!"

After saying that, he urged the war horse, turned around and returned to the city.

Looking at Xiao Weili, who was resolutely leaving, Wu Ting's eyes narrowed slightly and said to himself: "It's really a difficult bone to gnaw, but it's a loyal and righteous person, it's rare!" Rare! ”
