Chapter 55: Tong Guan grabs merit

was robbed by Tong Guan like this, Wu Zhi simply stopped talking, and looked at him with a smile.

For a long time, Tong Guan only cared about grabbing power and flattering Zhao Ji.

As for leading troops to fight, I have never seen him so active.

What Wu Zhi didn't understand was that Tong Guan was also helpless in his heart.

With the rise of Wuzhi, whether in the court or in Zhao Ji's heart, his status has plummeted.

As a last resort, Tong Guan had no choice but to volunteer to show his ability to Song Huizong Zhao Ji, looking forward to regaining Zhao Ji's trust.

This time, the Liao State raised troops to the south, and Tong Guan saw hope.

Immediately seize the opportunity to speak, preempt Wuzhi, and send troops to meet the attack.

As for whether he can win in the end, he didn't think about it that much at all.

However, Tong Guan wanted to go out to fight, but Wu Zhi didn't care at all.

There is a magic painting Qingming Shanghe Tu to confuse Zhao Ji, and he is not worried about falling out of favor.

Even if Tong Guan loses, he is to blame.

"Tong Aiqing wants to go out to fight against the Liao State?"

Zhao Ji was slightly stunned when he heard Tong Guan volunteering.

Originally, he was counting on Wu Zhi to go.

After all, the battle to exterminate Liangshan was completed too beautifully.

However, Tong Guan wanted to go on the expedition, but Wu Zhi was silent, and it was not easy for him to refuse.

For the invasion of Liao, someone must carry the beam.

As for whether it was Tong Guan or Wu Zhi, Zhao Ji didn't care much.

"Okay, since the envoy Tong is willing to take command, I will worship you as the generalissimo of the resistance and send troops to resist Liao from now on."

In the case that Wu Zhi did not stand up, Zhao Ji thought for a moment and agreed to Tong Guan's request.

"Wechen obeys!"

got the nod of approval from Emperor Zhao Ji, and Tong Guan was immediately overjoyed.

In the end, he also glanced at Wu Zhi defiantly.

Wu Zhi has a feeling of grabbing food with vicious dogs.

You can go if you want, you don't need to see yourself as a competitor, and you can't compete with dogs for food.

This time, Tong Guan's execution is quite high.

After receiving the order on the first day, he reorganized his troops and horses in the barracks on the same day.

It took three days to prepare the logistics, grain and grass.

raised 400,000 troops and set out to fight against Liao.

"Aiqing, I'm waiting for you to come back in triumph!"

Zhao Ji has great expectations for this expedition.

Before leaving, he led hundreds of civil and military officials to send him off, so that Tong Guan had more face.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations, and he will swear to defeat the Liao army to the death!"

Under the eyes of everyone, Tong Guan was full of pride and made a promise to Zhao Ji.

"Let's go!"

After squinting at Wu Zhi arrogantly, Tong Guan led his troops to set off.

An army of 400,000 slaughtered towards the border.

"Alas!"

Seeing Tong Guan's expression, Wu Zhi shook his head, and couldn't help but worry about the uncertain future of the 400,000 soldiers.

Tong Guan led the army and did not stop.

All the way quickly, stationed on the edge of Xiongzhou, leaning on the city, withstood the situation of the Liao army continuing to attack the city.

With Xiongzhou as the center, the two armies engaged in a confrontation.

The Liao offensive then stopped.

After the news was transmitted back to Bianjing, Emperor Zhao Ji was immediately overjoyed and kept praising Tong Guan.

This made Tong Guan's desire to defeat the Liao army even more urgent.

Only by defeating the Liao army could he regain his holy grace and defeat Wuzhi at the imperial court.

With the idea of defeating the Liao army as quickly as possible, Tong Guan had the idea of going out of the city and taking the initiative to defeat the Liao army in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty, the Liao army is mostly cavalry, but our army is all infantry, relying on the city to defend, our army has an advantage, once it takes the initiative to attack, I am afraid it is not the opponent of the Liao army!"

After Tong Guan had the idea of going out of the city, someone dissuaded him.

"It makes sense."

Although Tong Guan became a privy envoy by relying on his whiskers and horses, he was not stupid enough to find death by himself.

After being persuaded, he immediately dispelled the idea of attacking, and just defended the city.

The Liao army tried to attack several times, but was repulsed by Tong Guan.

"Lord Privy Envoy, the Liao Army is nothing more than that, with the Lord Privy Envoy here, this battle will be won!"

After several victories, Song repelled the Liao soldiers and gradually lost their vigilance.

Tong Guan's original fear and jealousy of the Liao army also disappeared because of several victories, and he looked down on the Liao army.

"Your Excellency, our army is twice as large as the Liao army, so why not take advantage of the victory to pursue it, wipe it out in one fell swoop, and make a miraculous achievement?"

Someone saw that Tong Guan was impatient with defense in the early morning, and made a suggestion.

As soon as these words came out, Tong Guan was suddenly quite moved.

In the past few days, Wu Zhi has destroyed the Liangshan thieves, and he has been loved by Zhao Ji, and he has gradually lost power in the court.

As long as you defeat the Liao State, you will achieve great merit.

Tong Guan believes that he will definitely be able to become Zhao Ji's favored minister again.

"Your Majesty, no! The Liao soldiers are strong and strong, and they are all cavalry, but they have an Achilles heel, they are not good at attacking cities, as long as they rely on the city to defend, the Liao State will have no chance to win......"

In the Tong Guanjun, it is not all incompetent.

Seeing that Tong Guan had plans to lead the army out of the city, the deputy general immediately persuaded him.

"Your Excellency, Vice General Li's words are nothing but cowards' opinions, my eldest Song boy, is he a greedy person who is afraid of death?

Besides, no matter how high and thick the city is, it will be broken one day, and only by finishing its work in one battle and defeating the Liao army in one fell swoop can it be considered a victory. ”

The adjutant general's conservative words just now immediately attracted the opposition of the other generals.

"Well, that makes sense."

Tong Guan originally intended to attack, and the words of the generals under his command immediately resonated with him.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

Hearing Tong Guan's decision, Vice General Li's face changed and he hurriedly persuaded him.

"I have made up my mind, tonight the third watch will send troops, vowing to defeat the Liao army in one fell swoop!"

Seeing that Vice General Li was going to persuade him again, Tong Guan immediately intervened to stop it and made a final decision.

It was night, and the sky was high and dark, and there was no light.

Tong Guan gathered troops in Xiongzhou City.

When the third watch arrived at night, an order was given, and the 400,000 troops pressed directly to the Liao army camp.

At the time of the third watch at night, it is the most sleepy time of the day.

In the camp of the Liao army, except for the guards who kept vigil, the rest of the people went to sleep.

"God help me!"

Tong Guan came to ten miles away from the Liao army camp, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be ecstatic.

As long as he takes advantage of his unpreparedness and defeats the Liao army in one fell swoop, he will be able to recover the sixteen states of Youyun and make great achievements, which will last forever.

"The whole army and soldiers, the time has come to make contributions with this commander, kill!"

"Kill!"

With Tong Guan's order, 400,000 Song army soldiers roared and rushed to the Liao army camp.

"Kill all the Liao soldiers!"

Under the protection of the guards, Tong Guan stood on the horse and shouted excitedly.

"Lord Privy Envoy, there is no one in the Liao army!"

However, when Tong Guan entered the tent of the Liao army camp, he found that the Liao army camp was empty.

"Not good!"

Hearing this, the smile on Tong Guan's face suddenly froze, his eyes were terrified, and an ominous premonition came out of his heart.

"Rush!"

"Kill all the Song soldiers and capture Tong Guan alive!"

After the Song army entered the camp, the Liao army camp suddenly sounded shouting and killing.

Countless torches lit up from all directions, like day.
