Chapter 166: Wind and Cloud
Yanmen Pass.
After the three armies were assembled, they gathered their respective armies and set up camp in three directions, southeast and west, Dali in the east, Great Song in the south, and Western Xia in the west.
The distance between the three armies was also shortened from two three li to three or four hundred meters, and in the middle of the three armies, a large tent was built as the command camp of the three armies.
At this time, in the command tent, the commanders of the three armies and Xiao Jun had already gathered together to discuss the matter of this joint fight against the Khitan.
"The national division gathered our three-way army here, is it to resist the Khitan invasion of the Song Dynasty, or does he want to take the opportunity to extinguish the arrogance of the Khitan army, and then lead the Southern Song army directly into Shangjing and become the emperor himself?"
Helian Tieshu looked at Xiao Jun and said half-jokingly.
The corners of Xiao Jun's mouth twitched and shook his head.
"You think too much, I don't have much interest in being an emperor, and I have to worry about being afraid of others attacking all day long, it is estimated that people who are emperors can't sleep peacefully a few times a year, right?"
Xiao Jun said as he looked at Helian Tieshu intentionally or unintentionally, he knew that Helian Tieshu was testing himself, but he didn't know if it was Helian Tieshu's own intentions or the will of the Western Xia Emperor.
Helian Tieshu was looked at a little unnaturally by Xiao Jun, coughed, and spoke again.
"But I heard that the national teacher and the former leader of the beggar gang, who is also the current king of the southern court of the Khitan Kingdom, are sworn brothers, and now that Qiao Feng has defected from the Khitan, don't you want to fight back in the future, and you two brothers are in charge of half of the Khitan country? ”
Helian Tieshu smiled and said, but the smile on his face was a little stiff and unnatural at all.
Listening to Helian Tieshu's words, Xiao Jun couldn't help frowning, and turned his head to look at Helian Tieshu coldly, his face dissatisfied.
"Is General Helian curious, or is he asking me for the Western Xia Emperor?"
Xiao Jun stared at Helian Tieshu and asked coldly.
After listening to Xiao Jun's words, Helian Tieshu's expression became more and more unnatural.
"It's just curious, it's not what Your Majesty meant, it's just small talk, it's just small talk. ”
Helian Tieshu waved his hand and said with an embarrassed smile.
"If you ask me, then even if I want to be this Khitan emperor, it has nothing to do with you! If it is for your majesty, then you can leave with your soldiers and horses now, I don't need someone so suspicious to help me. ”
Xiao Jun looked at Helian Tieshu, didn't buy it at all, and said bluntly.
Helian Tieshu listened to Xiao Jun's words, stunned on the spot, speechless, but he didn't have the courage to get up and leave now.
Although Xiao Jun did not have a single soldier and no real power in Western Xia, he was the national teacher personally appointed by the Western Xia Emperor after all, and if he offended the national teacher, he had no way to explain to the Western Xia Emperor.
What's more, Duan Yu is still the concubine of the Western Xia Kingdom, and the relationship between Duan Yu and Xiao Jun naturally goes without saying.
Zhao Yi sat in his seat and didn't speak, watching coldly from beginning to end, in his heart, maybe he hoped that Xiao Jun and Xixia would break up, and he would be happy to watch a good show, after all, the reason why he fell to this point was all because of Xiao Jun.
"Forget the second brother, I believe that General Helian didn't mean anything else, but he just asked casually when he talked about this, right?
Duan Yu saw that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly played the round, he believed that Xiao Jun didn't really want Helian Tieshu to leave, but just gave a warning.
"Yes, yes, what the master said is right. ”
Helian Tieshu saw Duan Yu speaking for himself, and hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, that's the end of this matter, let's get down to business, if Yeluki really comes over with a large army, what will you do?"
Xiao Jun glanced at Duan Yu and Helian Tieshu and asked lightly.
"The barbarian clan, if you dare to offend my Great Song Dynasty, you must kill them with all your might, and let them know that the Great Song Dynasty is not a lamb to be slaughtered!"
Zhao Yi said coldly, without the slightest expression on his face, but it didn't make people see whether this sentence was sincere or not.
"Of course I listen to the second brother, if you say keep it, you will keep it, and if you say you will fight!"
Duan Yu said without thinking about it.
Now the emperor of Dali has become a monk in Tianlong Temple, and Duan Zhengchun is taking care of everything in the court.
Xiao Jun nodded, and looked at Helian Tieshu again.
Helian Tieshu found that Xiao Jun was looking at him, and coughed twice, looking a little weak.
Hearing these two coughs, Xiao Jun's heart had already begun to sneer, and the answer was needless to say that he had already guessed.
"When leaving, His Majesty has already explained, we must help the national teacher to defend the Great Song Dynasty, and not let a single soldier of the Khitan step into the Great Song Dynasty, if the Khitan army dares to break through, we must protect the comfort of the national teacher and prevent the national teacher from having an accident!"
Helian Tieshu looked at Xiao Jun seriously and said, what he said was justified.
But Xiao Jun couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, it sounded like he had said a lot, but it was the same as not saying anything, a bunch of nonsense.
Protect me, I use you to protect?
To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of helping, as long as I don't die in the chaos, the mission will be completed.
Looking at Xiao Jun, who couldn't help laughing, Duan Yu couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
And Helian Tieshu on the other side was already embarrassed and couldn't sit still.
Everyone understands and knows what this answer represents.
Of course, Xiao Jun didn't force anything, he didn't plan to do anything, just to strengthen his momentum.
"Tell the Holy Lord that the spy ahead has sent back the news. ”
At this moment, Wu Lingjun's voice came in from outside the big tent.
Hearing this, Xiao Jun and the three of them all looked outside, and their faces became serious.
It's finally here.
"Come in. ”
Xiao Jun replied lightly.
As the words fell, Wu Lingjun walked in slowly, knelt on one knee, and respectfully hugged his fists.
"Holy Lord, there is news from the front, saying that Yeluji is coming to our side with hundreds of thousands of troops, and the footsteps are very fast, and we can arrive before sunset!"
Wu Lingjun said slowly, his face a little dignified.
Listening to Wu Lingjun's words, Duan Yu and Helian Tieshu all frowned, and couldn't help but be a little frightened, it seems that this time the Khitan is really moving, and they actually came with hundreds of thousands of troops, and the sum of their three armies is only a hundred thousand people.
"Everyone, let's get ready to pick them up. ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Jun's mouth, said lightly, and slowly stood up.
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yi had already stood up and strode out, as if he couldn't wait to start a fight with the Khitan army.
"Second brother, then I'll go back and prepare. ”
Duan Yu also stood up, turned around and left as he spoke.
"The last general is also one step ahead. ”
Helian Tieshu also hugged his fists, said hello, and quickly left the command tent.
Xiao Jun slowly walked to the door of the big tent, looked in the direction of the Khitan Kingdom, and took a deep breath.
The wind at the border is really hard and ruthless.
I hope that this time I can help Da Song get through this inevitable crisis, and it can also make Qiao Feng no longer die in this battle.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jun looked at the camp tent prepared for the beggars and others not far away, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
Who would have thought that the swordsman who used to only fight on the street would now become the person in the Tianlong world who stirred up the world with the power of one person?
Even Xiao Jun himself never dreamed of it.
