Chapter 229: Three Days
It is Meng Youde who knows his thoughts best. He was very moved by Su Shi's decision to accept his own surrender.
The so-called scholar died for the person who knew it, and he was even more determined to vote for this person. Even if it is true that one day, Su Shi can't keep himself, he will have no regrets, everything is his own choice, and no one forces him, isn't it?
On the same night, Su Shi really set up a banquet to entertain Meng Youde, fish, meat, mountain delicacies, and burning knives and cigarettes, which were everything, and their specifications were far higher than the best meal Meng Youde had ever eaten in his life.
During the banquet, Su Shi cordially introduced Lou Yang, Ji Zhu, Feng Yidao, Hu Tongtian and Yang Jingyun to Meng Youde and other backbones of the Su family's army.
After that, Su Shi also asked Yang Jingyun to take him to walk around the neighborhood and get acquainted with some of the situation of the Su family army as soon as possible, as for what he needs to do in the future?
I'll talk about it later. Also during the banquet, Meng Youde also provided a message, that is, the Liao army already knew about the matter in Shimen Town, not only that, but from the mouths of several Liao army scouts he caught along the way, he also heard that Liu Liufu vomited blood for this, and now he is very sick.
The Su family army also has scouts, but the range of activities is limited, but it is only thirty miles around, and at most fifty miles.
Far from being like Meng Youde, he killed all the way, saw more Liao army scouts, and naturally heard more news.
When he first heard that Liu Liufu was so angry that he vomited blood, Su Shi immediately laughed. This time he came to Liaojing to fight the slogan of killing Liu Liufu to take revenge, but Su Shi knew in his heart that it would be difficult to complete this task, but he could do it, so he killed all the way and spread the slogan of wanting to find Liu Liufu for revenge.
This is just to disturb the morale of the army, I really didn't expect that there was a real possibility of killing the other party.
And if this can really be done, then this trip to Liao is really perfect.
Originally, Su Shi had already considered it, but now that the place he was in was not far from the realm of Song Liao, could he go back directly?
But after hearing the news, Su Shi decided not to go back, he had to turn around and find the Liao army, and give them a heavy blow to see if he could make Liu Liufu really angry to death, wouldn't this be more perfect.
The guests and hosts of the meal were very happy, and Yang Jingyun also took Su Shi's order to take Meng Youde to walk around the military camp, while Su Shi stayed in the military tent, looking at the map in front of him, with a thoughtful look.
...... Jingzhou, Shimen Town. The pit where the corpses of the Liao soldiers were buried was thoroughly excavated, and a full 3,000 corpses emitted a foul smell and drifted far away.
Especially because the weather is too hot, many corpses have begun to decompose, and they can't see their original appearance clearly, but from the only clothes left on their bodies, it can still be seen that they are the three thousand Liao army elite horsemen who have disappeared for a long time before.
These three thousand are the elite of the Liao army that has been killed for a long time. Sending them to the battlefield is an existence that can compete with the fierce Western Xia army, and their death is definitely a big loss for the Liao army.
Xiao Xiaoyou covered his nose with a handkerchief and silently looked at the scene in front of him, his heart was full of anger and fear.
If the Su family army was raging in the Liao Territory before, and he didn't pay much attention to it, then the death of Pilu and them this time was a wake-up call in his heart.
I always thought that the Su army won by sneak attacks and disguises, but in the final analysis, the strength was still not enough, and they didn't dare to fight with the Liao army at all, or fight a frontal battle.
But Pilu's death made Xiao Xiaoyou understand that the Su family army must have good combat power. It is not very difficult to defeat a team of 3,000 elite cavalry, as long as you prepare in many ways, you can still do it.
But if you want to wipe out all the 3,000 elite cavalry, you need real skills, at least the Su family army also has a cavalry that can fight well.
When I thought about leading the task of destroying Su Shi, I was still a little disdainful in my heart, but now that I think about it, how ridiculous it was.
"Come on, pass the order, all states, governments, museums, and towns will strengthen their vigilance, strengthen the patrol of scouts, and once something happens, set off smoke to warn." Smoke warning is the meaning of some beacon alarms.
This has always been the patent of the Han people, after all, only they are mainly defensive, but now, the always belligerent Liao people have to use this trick for their own safety.
Immediately, a herald rode away, Xiao Xiaoyou looked at the corpses of the three thousand elite horsemen, and finally shook his head and said, "Bury them again." With that, he strode away and walked straight to the largest compound in town.
Liu Liufu, who vomited blood again, lived here. Before coming to the corpse pit, Liu Liufu unexpectedly spurted blood again, followed by a direct coma, and the frightened Xiao Xiaoyou hurriedly ordered to find the holy hand for treatment, and at the same time wrote down the physical condition of the three envoys and sent someone to the capital to send it to the capital.
I'm afraid that Xiao Xiaoyou also knows that this is just a gesture of his, and now Liu Liufu is already terminally ill and belongs to the kind of person who is not saved.
Even if good medicine is used on him, it only delays his life, and it is impossible to really cure him.
Even so, Xiao Xiaoyou still has to make a show and report the matter to Emperor Liao, how can I say that Liu Liufu is still the third envoy of Da Liao, and the important minister of Da Liao, if something happens if he doesn't report it, he can't bear this pressure.
In the wing room of the compound, Liu Liufu was lying on the bed with a pale face, his eyes were closed at this time, and he was sleeping very deeply.
"How's it going?" Just after glancing at the sleeping Liu Liufu, Xiao Xiaoyou beckoned the holy hand over and inquired about his condition.
The face of the holy hand was also very solemn, and from this point alone, it could be known that Liu Liufu's physical condition was not optimistic.
Sure enough, as soon as the holy hand spoke, Xiao Xiaoyou was startled,
"Lord Liu is already angry, and the general can prepare for the future."
"Isn't there a way at all?" Although he knew that this would be the result, when he heard this answer, Xiao Xiaoyou still asked with a glimmer of hope.
"No, the breath is weak, the sick body is in the heart, and there is no power to return to heaven, even if the best holy hand in the world comes." The Holy Hand said in a very firm tone.
Seeing that the Holy Hand said so resolutely, Xiao Xiaoyou knew that things could not be changed, so he asked a supplementary question: "Can I say it, can Lord Liu live for a few days?" ”
"This... Small efforts are only three days at most. The Holy Hand thought for a moment and replied very seriously.
"What? Only three days left? This answer was completely unexpected by Xiao Xiaoyou. He thought that even if Liu Liufu was not saved, he could at least hold out for a while, and then after he got the new will of Emperor Liao, he could arrange for someone to send him back to Shangjing, even if he died, he should die in Liaodu.
If you only have three days, you really can't go anywhere. With a sigh, Xiao Xiaoyou's mood is now very complicated.
I don't know why, when he heard that Liu Liufu only had three days to live, he was first surprised and then relieved.
Didn't you Su Shi keep saying that he came to the Liao Realm to seek revenge on Liu Liufu? Okay now, Liu Liufu is about to die, and at that time, see if you have any reason to stay in Daliao.
If they dare to attack and kill the Liao people, without a reasonable explanation, they are provoking the entire Liao State, and at that time they can justifiably exert pressure on the Great Song Dynasty.
With the beating nature of those literati in the Great Song Dynasty, it is likely that Su Shi will be sacrificed for their benefit.
Presumably, he can see this truth clearly, and Su Shi should also be clear. In this way, doesn't it mean that Su Shi is leaving, and the Liao Kingdom can also restore its original tranquility?
"Is it finally over?" After having such a thought in his heart, Xiao Xiaoyou involuntarily let out a long breath, and the whole person seemed to be much more relaxed.
Two days later, as if he was returning to the light, Liu Liufu, who was like a gossamer, suddenly woke up, and still had the strength to speak.
The first thing he did was not to arrange for the future generations and his family, but to have people call Xiao Xiaoyou to talk about the current war.
"General Xiao, I can't do it, I'm afraid that I will soon leave the world, after my death, presumably Su Shi will have no excuse to continue to stay in Liao, and winter is coming, he should also be ready to leave. I beg you to borrow my corpse as a bait to lure Su Shi into the trap and destroy it in one fell swoop. When he heard the previous words, Xiao Xiaoyou nodded thoughtfully, which was the same as what he thought in his heart.
The winter in Liao is not only long, but also colder, even the locals can't stand it, presumably Su Shi, who has been living in the Central Plains, will only be more uncomfortable, and that is when they leave.
It's just that he didn't expect that Liu Liufu was still thinking about dealing with Su Shi and using his own bones as bait, which made him a little puzzled.
Then he asked out loud,
"If he wants to leave, let him leave, this person is not slippery, it is very difficult to deal with."
"It's because it's hard to deal with, so it's even more important to deal with him. In short, such a person must not let him run away, otherwise once he really grows up, it will be a disaster for our entire Daliao. General Xiao, please promise to come down, no matter what, you must leave this person, you must stay, this is for the sake of our future generations, please. Liu Liufu, whose eyes were full of blood, was very pale, but even so, his eyes were still staring at Xiao Xiaoyou, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
Feeling Liu Liufu's eager gaze, Xiao Xiaoyou finally relented, so he had to agree and said, "Okay, I promise Lord Liu, I will try my best to do this well." ”
