Sheet 190 Recovering Yanyun (14)
"That...... Da Shuai...... Promise to let me go...... Do you still count? Facing the Khitan tent that suddenly became silent, Song Bing was a little at a loss, he really couldn't understand why it was suddenly like this, but these were not the things he cared about now, all he cared about was whether the Khitan marshal's words counted.
Although Song Bing's cautious questioning was not loud, it also broke the silence. Finally reacted to the fact that there was still such a small person here, Yelu Tiger Bone waved his hand to his own soldiers, signaling to take Song Bing out of the camp and let him go, and by the way, give him some silver taels.
Seeing that the Khitan marshal did not break his promise, the Song soldiers were amnesty, and followed Yelu Hugu's personal soldiers out of the camp in a hurry.
When Song Bing completely left the big tent, Yelu Tiger Bone finally spoke: "Let's see what to do?" ”
What to do? No one knows what to do. Originally, the Song soldiers were stronger than the Liao soldiers who lost heavy cavalry, and the rain was getting less and less these days, and soon the Song army's artillery would be re-invested in the battlefield. Now coupled with the fact that there is a Xiao Qi who knows everything about his side, whether he plans over there, this battle basically does not need to be fought.
"Why don't we leave?" Seeing that everyone was silent, a slightly younger general cautiously put forward his opinion.
"Retreat? As soon as we retreated, did we completely surrender Yan Yun to the Song people? You must know that basically most of the Yanyun defenders have been given to us by Yili Jin, and now that we retreat, who will defend Yanyun? ”
The young general didn't expect his words to attract such a huge opposition from a veteran, and he was reprimanded by the old general. He was somewhat aggrieved.
And even if he already seems very aggrieved. But the veteran is still unrelenting. He actually took off his whip from his waist and made a gesture to whip him, a young man.
Seeing that the two generals under his command were about to fight, Yelu Tiger Bone had to come forward to stop the old general: "Stop, come up with an idea, come up with an idea, if you don't agree to speak out against it, it's over, why do you still start beating people?" Was it that he was defeated by the Song army in a row, and he couldn't find a place to vent, hoping to use this to put out the fire? If you have the strength, why don't you keep it and go to the battlefield to kill the Song people?
What's more, what Hugh Bi said is also reasonable, now in such a situation that can't be defeated, what can you do without withdrawing troops? If you have the ability, you can think of a way to win the Song people? That way we don't have to withdraw our troops. ”
Yelu Hugu's words made the old general blush. Of course, he had to admit that this little general named Hubi was right, and now there was actually only one way to withdraw his troops. But it was too embarrassing to withdraw the troops like this, and the continuous losses to the Song army during this period of time made him a little aggrieved, and he couldn't help beating people for this reason.
After Yelu Tiger Bone stopped him, he slowly hung the whip in his hand back on his waist again, and then sat back in his seat in a dejected manner, never speaking again.
After such a fuss, everyone began to formally consider whether to withdraw their troops, after all, it would definitely not be able to fight.
But there must be a way to retreat the troops, and it is really unwilling to retreat like this.
Just when everyone put their minds on how to withdraw their troops decently. The Song soldier who was caught before had also been sent to the gate of the camp by the Khitan soldiers.
After the soldiers had sent him to the gate of the camp, he took a cloth bag from another soldier who had come by. Then he threw him at Song Bing.
After Song Bing took the cloth bag, he thanked him for his kindness, and then turned around and left the Khitan camp and walked into the forest.
Just after he walked to a place where he could no longer see the Khitan camp, a miraculous thing happened, this Song soldier changed his previous weak and timid appearance, and spit in the direction of the Khitan camp with a sneer.
"Phew, I'm really tired, but that Mr. Zhao is also like a god, and he actually guessed exactly what the Khitan coach was going to ask and what he was going to do with him." As he spoke, the man opened the cloth bag in his hand, then reached in and touched it twice.
"The fucking Khitans are so stingy, so they give so little money. Forget it, when I return to the camp, there will definitely be a big reward waiting for me. But the Khitans, you wait, the next time I meet you, I will take back all the things I deserve. ”
Now the identity of this person can basically be revealed, he is not a timid deserter at all, but a group of specially deployed and trained in the army.
It was Zhao Ling'er who deliberately revealed the information that Xiao Qi was in the Song army to the Khitans.
In Zhao Ling'er's plan, the first step is to capture him, hang him for a few days, and then give him a chance, at this time, Xiao Qi will definitely use all his tricks to try to prove himself when he makes plans.
This can also explain why when Song and Liao clashed in the past few days, the weakness of the Liao army would be exposed. Xiao Qi, who used all his strength, almost revealed to Yang Yanzhao all the dream words that the soldiers of the Liao army said every day when they slept.
When this step is completed, the next step is naturally how to make Xiao Qi able to work for the Great Song Dynasty with all his heart. After all, in Zhao Ling'er's previous inference, this Xiao Qi must not have betrayed the Liao State 100%, plus observing the situation of the Liao army on the battlefield for several days in a row, it can also be inferred that the Liao army does not seem to know that he defected to the Song army, so that he can be more sure that he has reservations, since he has reservations, he must be completely pulled to the side of the Great Song Dynasty.
And to complete this step, you naturally have to use the classic anti-inverse strategy. In Zhao Ling'er's mind, through this period of fighting, the Liao army should also be aware of it, so it is just right to exercise the counter-strategy at this time.
So there was a previous play, Zhao Ling'er found a well-trained meticulous workman, asked him to pretend to be a timid deserter, and then was accidentally caught by the Khitan.
After he was caught, the Khitans would definitely ask him about Xiao Qi's information, and as long as he told this information to the Khitans at that time, then Xiao Qi's betrayal would be completely exposed in Liao.
In this way, it will be impossible for him to return to Liao to do something.
After doing this whole set of scenes, he returned to the Song army camp smoothly, and he was pulled into private by Zhao Linger and Yang Yanzhao in the camp.
"How's it going? Did you tell the Khitan people the news that Xiao Qi was with us? As soon as he took the fine work to a place where no one was, Zhao Ling'er hurriedly asked him.
"Things are doing very well, the Khitan people have already believed that Xiao Qi is here with us."
"That's good."
"But Mr. Zhao, how do you know that as long as I reveal this news to the Khitans, they will definitely let me go?"
"It's not simple, now that the Khitans are losing like this, once they know that it was Xiao Qi who made trouble, their anger will be focused on Xiao Qi, and you, a small character, will naturally not be unable to get along with you.
Alright, you've done a good job, and here's the reward for you. Saying that, Zhao Ling'er also threw a cloth bag to Xiaozuo.
He turned the cloth bag upside down, and felt that the weight was about the same as the one given by the Khitans, but when he opened the cloth bag, it was not silver, but gold.
After seeing these golds, Xizuo immediately thanked Zhao Ling'er with a smile, and then turned around and left.
After seeing Xizuo leave, Yang Yanzhao turned around and asked Zhao Ling'er, "Ling'er, what should I do next?" ”
"What's next? It's easy to do next, uncle, just wait and prepare to take over Yanyun. If my guess is correct, in a few days, the Khitans will symbolically engage us once, mainly to denounce Xiao Qi, so that they can retreat with dignity.
After they retreat, we will be able to take over Yanyun smoothly. Uncle, don't forget what Xiao Qi said that the current Khitan army was not only sent from the central part of the Liao State, but also supplemented from Yanyun.
This shows that if this team retreats, Yan Yun will basically not have many people to defend it. ”
Yang Yanzhao didn't believe too much in Zhao Ling'er's self-confidence, after all, decades of experience in fighting with Khitan told him that the war should not end like this.
However, because Zhao Ling'er had guessed too many things before, Yang Yanzhao at this time could only nod his head, which could be regarded as acquiescing to Zhao Ling'er's statement.
Sure enough, within ten days, the Khitans came to challenge again.
When he learned that the Khitans were beaten like this and came to challenge, Yang Yanzhao didn't have much emotional reaction. Xiao Qi was a little excited.
Xiao Qi, who had not been recognized by the Khitans several times before and had always chosen to sit in the rear, took the initiative to ask for the battle this time. Xiao Qi's change surprised Yang Yanzhao a little, even more than the Khitans came to challenge.
"General Xiao Qi has thought it through?"
Xiao Qi patted his chest and said, "No problem, it's been a while since I came down to defect, it's time to go to the battlefield to prove myself." ”
Seeing Xiao Qi so desperate, Yang Yanzhao had no choice but to look at Zhao Ling'er, and the result was that Zhao Ling'er nodded, meaning that he could go up.
Then Yang Yanzhao looked at the other generals, and no one else objected to Xiao Qi's battle.
Seeing that no one objected, Yang Yanzhao had no choice but to nod and agree.
However, after the meeting, Yang Yanzhao left Zhao Linger behind.
"Ling'er, why did Xiao Qi change his previous style and take the initiative to ask for a battle?"
Zhao Ling'er smiled coldly, and then said: "It's not for revenge, watching Yelu Tiger Bone suffer another fiasco is a happy thing for Xiao Qi.
But I bet he's going to cover himself up tomorrow so he doesn't even know his mother. ”
Yang Yanzhao nodded: "But I think after going into battle tomorrow, I guess I will have to regret it." (To be continued......)
