On the night after the end of the war in the Weixian Valley, an earth-shattering incident occurred in the Khitan military camp, and the Khitans, who had always been united, actually had infighting.

Yelu Hugu, who hoped that Xiao Qi would take the blame, used his prestige and connections in the army to completely empty Xiao Qi, while Xiao Qi, who was unwilling to sit still, accused Yelu Hugu of being the culprit of this failure.

and poured out all the clues he found in the camp of the Song army to all the uneasiness when he entered the valley, hoping to bring down Yeluhugu.

But Xiao Qi didn't expect that the so-called evidence he had carefully prepared became an excuse for Yelu Hugu to bite back, and if he didn't report it, he would definitely put a big hat on Xiao Qi's head, which made Xiao Qi, who was full of confidence, suddenly helpless.

In the end, Xiao Qi, who was really no match for Yelu Tiger Bone, had no choice but to pull his henchmen and favorite generals, kill the Khitan camp at night, and rush to the Song army camp.

Under the circumstance that the blame has become an established fact, in order to protect Yelu Tiger Bone, Xiao Qi chose to be the enemy of the entire Great Liao. In Xiao Qi's heart, he has today, not only caused by Yelu Tiger Bone, but also the entire Daliao is at fault.

Sometimes once people go to adversity, they will inevitably go to extremes, and now Xiao Qi feels that the entire Daliao is sorry for himself.

Empress Dowager Xiao, as her aunt, did not give her absolute help, if she had her aunt's support, she would not dare to empty herself like this.

And his mentor Yelu Mo is even more sorry for himself, since he wants to let himself be alone, why do he send Yelu Tiger Bone such a flamboyant and domineering old general to assist him, doesn't his mentor know that it is easy to be overturned with his military prestige and connections?

As for the Liao Shengzong, who still has no pro-government, he has not escaped Xiao Qi's complaints. For this emperor, who was still under the protection of his mother. Xiao Qida looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. Xiao Qi thought that if Yelu Longxu could be pro-government, old fritters like Yelu Tiger Bone would have been purged from the court long ago.

And he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today. In short, all this that happened has nothing to do with me, I am not at fault, it is the world that is wrong.

It's just that Xiao Qi didn't think about what would happen if he raised all the doubts he saw at the beginning? Even if Yelu Tiger Bone doesn't accept it, there are always wise people in the army, not to mention that he is still the commander in the army, and it shouldn't be too much of a problem to force him to delay the march.

But he didn't do that, he was bent on using these doubts as evidence against the bones of the tiger. But I didn't expect to be bitten back in the end, and I completely lost the room to turn around.

Now, with a heart for revenge, he led his guards to the gate and ran all the way west to the camp of the Song army.

……

When the battle in Weixian ended, the Song army was not in a hurry to pursue the Liao army, in addition to the fact that it was not easy for infantry to chase cavalry, cleaning the battlefield was also an important link.

After all, after killing the heavy cavalry of the Liao army, the heavy armor on those cavalry is a good thing, even if you don't wear it, it's good to take it back and recast it.

What's more, there is the most important reason, that is, Yang Yanzhao wants to find out who provided so much high-quality steel for Liao through these heavy armors.

Yang Yanzhao looked at it carefully. These heavy armors are all cast from first-class steel, and the casting technology of this kind of steel is absolutely not available in Liao. In addition to the Great Song Dynasty, there is only Dongying who has this casting technology.

But the problem is that Dongying, who has such a casting technology, will never be able to take out so much steel, and their own domestic steel has to be imported from the Great Song Dynasty, how can there be a surplus of freshly cast heavy armor and sell it to the Khitans.

Therefore, Yang Yanzhao felt that the merchants in the Great Song Dynasty might be suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Just as Yang Yanzhao was discussing the matter with the entire staff group, including Zhao Ling'er, a scout broke into the tent and reported that a Khitan team was rapidly approaching the camp.

After careful questioning, there were less than 100 people in this team, which made Yang Yanzhao a little confused. But even so, he still did not take it lightly, and immediately gave an order to be on guard.

Just when the Song army was on full alert, the men and horses led by Xiao Qi stopped a mile away from the Song army's military camp. Xiao Qi also knew that such a rash approach would inevitably be directly killed by the Khitans who were attacking by the Song army.

So he sent a well-spoken cronie to unarm and approach the Song camp alone, hoping to gain Yang Yanzhao's trust.

Just as Xiao Qi thought, when the cronie was still more than a few hundred steps away from the Song camp, he was already being shot at the head by the Song soldiers.

"The Khitans in front, stop your footsteps and explain your intentions, otherwise I will shoot."

Just after Song Bing said this, his cronies decisively raised their hands and shouted, "Don't attack me, I don't have a weapon in my hand." As he spoke, he showed his empty hands and waist.

Although they saw that their cronies were indeed not equipped with any weapons, the Song soldiers still did not dare to take it lightly and continued to point their guns at their cronies.

Seeing such a situation, the cronies had to speak up again: "Not far behind me is Xiao Qi, the commander of the Liao army, we are here to defect to the Song army, and our general hopes to see you Yang Dashuai back." ”

At this point, the soldiers of the Song army could no longer react, and they were very surprised that they finally decided to send one person back to the camp to report back, and the rest continued to look at this Khitan.

"What? The commander of the Liao army ran over and defected? Did you hear me right? When the soldiers reported the situation outside the tent to Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yanzhao was shocked.

In his more than ten years of military career, there have been dozens of battles against the Khitans, and no matter how big the Song army won during this period, he has never seen the Khitan coach surrender once.

This couldn't help but make Yang Yanzhao wonder if this was a ploy by the Khitans, ready to surrender or something.

However, just when Yang Yanzhao was still hesitating, Zhao Ling'er stood up and asked the soldier who returned: "How old is the Khitan coach who claims to have come to surrender?" ”

"I don't know much about this, it's just a soldier who came to claim to surrender."

"Well, call that soldier in first."

After receiving Zhao Ling'er's order, the soldier turned around and walked out, preparing to bring the cronie in. But at the same time, Yang Yanzhao was a little puzzled.

"Ling'er, wouldn't it be inappropriate to call that person in rashly?"

"Uncle, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, after all, he is only one person, and he can't make much waves. Let's call him in for interrogation first, if it is really the Khitan boss who came to surrender, it will be an unprecedented time for the Great Song Dynasty to come to Liguo, doesn't such a great uncle want to stand? ”

In fact, Yang Yanzhao doesn't attach much importance to such a great achievement, but as Zhao Ling'er said, just call one person in, even if they have any conspiracy in front of everyone, it is estimated that it will be difficult to carry out.

In a few moments, the cronie was pressed into the tent by the soldiers. However, he was not tied up, but Yang Yanzhao also saw that this person did not have any weapons on his body, at least on the surface.

After the man came in, he didn't bow down to Yang Yanzhao, but just hugged his fist a little and then began to introduce himself: "In Xia Xiao Wen, Xiao Qi, the commander of the Liao Army, has his own soldiers. Because our general was persecuted by his subordinate general Yelu Tiger Bone, he had no choice but to come to the marshal, just begging the marshal to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

Xiao Wen's words can be described as neither humble nor arrogant, and his previous attitude when he came in caused many generals of the Song army to be very dissatisfied.

However, Yang Yanzhao didn't care too much about his attitude, but felt that this person's words were a little vague, how could he, a marshal of the Liao army, be persecuted by his subordinates?

"You said that your General Xiao was persecuted by his subordinates, how could he, the commander of the Liao army, be persecuted by his subordinates?"

After listening to Yang Yanzhao's question, Xiao Wen answered without thinking about it: "Because Yelu Tiger Bone is an old general, he has a lot of connections and prestige in the army. But this time he was only named a deputy general, so he was very jealous of our General Xiao, and the previous fiasco in the valley was commanded by Yelu Hugu, he hoped to pass on the black cauldron to our General Xiao, so he launched a mutiny with other descendants. ”

Xiao Wen's words seem to be the case at first glance, it is actually normal for such a thing to happen with a young marshal and a veteran, plus the previous fiasco needs to be relieved of responsibility, so it seems to make sense that such a thing happened.

For Xiao Wen's words, many generals of the Song army basically believed it, and even Yang Yanzhao believed it. It's just that Zhao Ling'er was a little skeptical about Xiao Wen's words.

"Uncle, can you come out with me alone?"

As soon as Yang Yanzhao heard that Zhao Ling'er actually asked to speak alone, he naturally thought that there was something suspicious about this Xiao Wen. So he agreed to her request, and the two went out of the big tent alone.

"Ling'er, isn't there anything wrong with Xiao Wen's words?"

Zhao Ling'er bit her finger, and then said, "If you want to say something inappropriate, it is that in Xiao Wen's mouth, the previous battle was commanded by Yelu Tiger Bone. But Xiao Qi, as the commander of the Liao army, why is such an important big battle commanded by Yelu Tiger Bone? ”

"Then you mean Xiao Wen is lying to us?"

"I don't think that's the case, but the situation in the Liao army may be more complicated than what Xiao Wen said. But Xiao Qi should be true when he came to surrender, but even if he came to surrender, this person still has to be careful. ”

Since Xiao Qi's surrender should be true, then he should really invite this young marshal of the Liao army to come in and talk. So after Yang Yanzhao returned to the big tent, he sent a team of people to greet Xiao Qi with Xiao Wen.

Xiao Qi, who was outside the camp, was also a little impatient. (To be continued......)
