Chapter 22 The two armies fought without slashing

At dusk, there was an unusually quiet border pass, Chaoping looked at the sunset outside the tent, and there had been no battle with the Liao army for two days, and the Liao army retreated thirty miles. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the old general did not order to chase over, everyone hoped that this war would end soon, everyone was in a state of preparation, and after fighting one battle, they were preparing for the next battle, this is the life of the border sergeants. The old general was deducing the changes in the battle situation with the generals in the military tent, but Chaoping did not go in, because he knew that Li Luoyun was studying military secrets, so he didn't want to mix them.

As soon as it was dark, the old general's discussion in the military tent had ended, and the old general passed down an order, ordering the various camps to prepare for the relocation, and planned to camp outside the Yanmen Pass, because that would be more conducive to attacking the Liao army. After everyone received the order, everyone took action and prepared to move. It was busy inside and out, and after another two days, the old general did not give the order to march from the village, but asked everyone to stand by. The Liao army still did not come to harass the Song army, and this matter made the old general very different, because in the past few days, even the Liao army spies who inquired about the news have disappeared.

In the camp made of animal skins, there is a group of Liao people who seem to be discussing something inside, which is the handsome tent of the Liao army camp. Inside, the supreme commander of the Liao army, Yelu Xiuqi, and the generals of the civil and military generals, as well as the leaders of other tribes, discussed the matter of attacking the Song army. Yelu Xiuqi said: "Now that the eighteen cavalry of Youyun are rebelling, we have been holding on to the Song army for a long time, our siege equipment and defensive equipment are not as good as the Song army, our advantage lies in cavalry and raid warfare, and such a long war has consumed a lot of our resources, some of your tribes may have already thought about withdrawing from the alliance." Many people said, "General Jerod is too worried, how can we break the covenant?" "In fact, the leaders of these tribes are struggling, they don't have much soldiers, horses, money and food to spend, the reason why they are allied with the Liao State is because they want to get a piece of the pie with the Liao State, because the Liao army is not large, so they can just send troops, so they will also get the reward of the Liao State. Yelu Xiuqi pondered that he had to hurry up and find a way to attack the Song army, otherwise it would not be beneficial for everyone to delay it for a long time. He asked if there was any good way to do it, and one of his counselors took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that he had a clever plan, but he could not say it in public, so Jerushichi dismissed the people and spoke to the counselor alone. The strategist said to Yelu Xiuqi: "Our army has an internal response in the camp of the Song army, and what we are seeking now is to win them, but they are heavily guarded and difficult to attack, we can avoid the real and attack the false, I heard that Li Luoyun has a grandson in the Song army, if he is captured, he can threaten Li Luoyun, and their Li family has this only seedling left, even if Li Luoyun does not give in, we can kill him, so that he has no successor." "The name of this talking strategist is Zabako, and he is a very sinister and scheming man. When Jerushichi heard him say this, he quickly expressed his position: "This idea of yours is very good, but what you say is of little use, because they are so tightly guarded, it is not possible to send people out of the barracks, and besides, we can't enter the barracks." Zabako said: "Don't worry, general, this minister has his own way, and the minister can go to their barracks." After saying this, he smiled at Jerushi, and Jerushichi said, "Then it is not easy for you to go and never return." Zabako said: "What is my life and death for the sake of the general's great cause. After saying that, Jerushichi agreed to his plan, and later he told Jerushichi in detail what he thought.

In the barracks of the Song army, Chao Ping was strolling outside the tent, he had just gone to visit Zhang Tao, Zhao Tao's injuries had improved, although the wounds had not healed, but he was already awake. Chaoping saw the dust outside the camp, so he kept staring there, and it was not until a group of men approached him that he saw that it was a group of Liao people. The guards escorted them up, and they kept begging for mercy and said that they wanted to see the old general Li Luoyun, and after the guards finished the report, they agreed to take them into the barracks. They walked straight into the military tent, passing by in front of Chaoping's eyes, Chaoping stared at the leader, and the leader stared at him until they entered the tent. Chaoping wondered why he had such indescribable eyes, and he didn't understand. But Chaoping can see that he is not an ordinary person, he should be a more effective person. The old general saw this group of people, and the person who took the lead spoke, he was the previous Zabako, he said: "Hello General Li, I am the envoy of the Liao State, I brought General Yelu's words, our Liao army retreated to show sincerity, because we know that our grain and grass are not very abundant, and your grain and grass are also in trouble, so now if the two armies fight, they must hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800, we propose that our two sides truce for half a month, and take a rest and then line up to face the battle." "This Zabako has a lot of eyes, fighting a war is the use of conspiracy and conspiracy, the old general speculated in his heart, he has never heard of anyone who fights and says that he does not have enough food and grass, doesn't this mean that he lets others beat them, he really can't fight when he says this, even if it is true, if they don't fight and rest and fight again, it is not a loss to themselves, but if they are ambushed, it will be bad. Then the old general said, "I already know what you said, so please go back." Then they were sent out. On the school field outside, two people in this team took the guard's knife and slashed at the guard, and the two people cut it to the others, this Zabako and the other people stood there and watched without moving, and everyone saw this situation, and the army stepped forward on the spot and cut the two people into meat sauce, captured Zabako and others and wanted to kill, at this time the old general came out, Chaoping was also watching from a distance, Zabako kept shouting: "The two armies are fighting and not killing." "The old general and Chaoping are very puzzled, why would anyone resist like this, but Zabako and they did not resist, and the targets they wanted to kill were ordinary soldiers, and they had no intention of assassinating the old general. The old general looked at the situation and asked, "Why did your people resist the killing?" Zabako pretended to be flustered and said: "They may have lost their minds and gone crazy, we don't know, the two armies will not fight each other, please don't kill us." The old general was very helpless after hearing this, and then said let them go, and then let them go, the old general couldn't figure out what they were planning, the Liao army was getting farther and farther away from their own army, and they withdrew for another thirty miles, and the spies who discharged did not see the traces of the Liao army around, so even the plan to encircle with Uncle Guo was not easy to carry out, because they were not within the scope of the ambush at all, and now they don't know what conspiracy they have when they hear Zabako's words. The old general's face was full of sorrow, and he thought that it would be better to move outside Yanmen Pass first according to the established opportunity.
