PS: (Today, I will first continue to thank the book friend for the reward of "The Group is Round"!) My work "Tianlong Undefeated" released a new chapter "Chapter 457 Absolute Flesh and Blood Reunion, Killing Relatives and Rehabilitation, and Patriotism (7) Southern Expedition", http://www./Book/3058817.aspx

So Dongfang Undefeated replied: "My emperor is wise and martial, Hongfu Qitian, where the king goes, within the four seas of Kyushu, everything is undesirable." It's just that there is a difference between clever and hard. Those who take the consumption by trickery are small, and the gains are large; those who take the hard ones consume are large, and the ones who gain are small. The emperor's brother is an immortal saint, benevolent and righteous, and loves the people like a son, so he naturally doesn't want our army to have more casualties. ”

Yelu Hongji listened to Dongfang's undefeated words, his eyebrows fluttered for a while, and he asked: "Well, that's a good point! So does the third brother think that the time to take advantage of the Song Kingdom is ripe?"

Dongfang was undefeated and replied: "Your Majesty, my brother went south this time, and suddenly encountered the collective assassination of the ministers of the moderate faction in the court of the Song Kingdom, and now the Empress Dowager Gao, who has always been the lord and the peace, is critically ill, and the forces of the main battle faction are very loud for a while, and there is a great tendency to invade my Liao realm." This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if His Majesty seizes it, the great cause can be accomplished. ”

Yelu Hongji slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Haha, what the virtuous brother said is very true, let's give him a preemptive strike." Before he and the Song people came to attack me, we would first attack their realm and kill him by surprise. ”

Dongfang was undefeated but said: "Qi Yu Majesty, although preemptive strike is a good strategy, it is not the best plan to seize the good opportunity in front of you. ”

When Yelu Hongji heard this, he became interested. And he asked, "Oh, how can you make the most of the current opportunities?"

Dongfang Undefeated asked Yelu Hongji and said, "Please ask Your Majesty." What is the biggest advantage of our Liao army over the Song army?"

Yelu Hongji stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Compared with the Song people, the biggest advantage of our Liao people is that they have enough horses, so our Liao army mainly fights with cavalry and annihilates the enemy army flexibly and mobilely. ”

Dongfang was undefeated and said: "What His Majesty said is not bad. When it comes to attacking and pulling out the city, the methods used by both the Song army and the Liao army are almost the same, and the Song people still have a certain advantage in the equipment for attacking and defending the city. We took the initiative to attack the enemy's cities. Isn't it in vain to abandon our cavalry superiority and carry forward the enemy's strong point in defending the city?

When Yelu Hongji heard this, he was like an initiation, and exclaimed, "Oh. So what does Brother Xian mean?"

Dongfang Undefeated nodded and said, "Not bad." We have to make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, first induce those radical Song monarchs and ministers to devote the strength of the whole country to attack our country, and then take advantage of our cavalry advantage, combined with the characteristics of the flat and vast land of the Great Liao, to wipe out the enemy's main force in the Liao realm, and then take advantage of the emptiness of the enemy country to wave the army south. By that time, the enemy's vital forces had been destroyed. The large and small cities can only fight for each other, and cannot rush to each other's aid. There will be no more effective resistance. As long as we lead the army to surround the city for a few months, and when the grain and grass in the city are exhausted, we will make a simultaneous move, and on the one hand propose peace talks, shake the determination of the army and people defending the city, and on the other hand step up the attack, then we can achieve a great cause from all over the world!"

After hearing this, Yelu Hongji exclaimed: "Okay! The third brother's plan is very good, let's do it!"

After a pause, he said, "According to the third brother's opinion, which boundaries will the Song army focus on attacking my Daliao?"

Dongfang Undefeated replied: "According to custom, the Han people are generally not interested in land that cannot be cultivated, so the Song army will first attack the prefectures and counties where our Daliao cultivated land is concentrated, and the boundaries around Xijing Datong Mansion and Nanjing Xijin Mansion will bear the brunt. ”

Yelu Hongji listened, turned his head to Xiao Feng and said: "Second brother, when you return to Nanjing this time, hurry up and hoard grain and grass, and prepare a large number of rolling stones and fallen trees to deal with those Song people, do you know? You only need to hold on for a few days, and all the soldiers and horses of my Da Liao will rush to counter-encircle the people and horses of the Song State, and then you only need to send a signal, and then lead people out of the city, and the other Liao troops will respond for you, attack inside and outside, and gather the main force of the Song army under the city of Nanjing, hahahaha!"

When Xiao Feng heard this, he was taken aback, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, my brother has adventured in the rivers and lakes, and he has fought in close combat, which is almost a day long, but he really doesn't know anything about marching and arranging. This matter of preparing for war, please also ask Your Majesty to invite Gao Ming. ”

Yelu Hongji said with a smile: "Virtuous brother doesn't have to be too humble, if necessary, I will send the third brother to Nanjing to assist you in arranging defenses." After the main force of the Song army was completely defeated, I ordered the two brothers to lead the three armies, and we went first for me, and we drove directly to Bianliang. In the future, the palace of the two brothers was set up in the palace of Zhao Xu's child in Bianliang. ”

Xiao Feng glanced at Dongfang Undefeated, smiled slightly, and thought: "If the emperor sends Dongfang Brothers to Nanjing City, it will also be a good thing for him to accompany me to drink and practice martial arts, but if we want to fight against the Song State, it will be very undesirable." ”

Thinking of this, he could only arch his hand and say: "The younger brother will obey His Majesty's orders, but if Zhao Xu comes to invade, we will beat him and kill him to return to the south, but why should our army attack Bianliang, not only to suffer greater losses, but also to displace the people of the Central Plains and ruin their families?"

Yelu Hongji borrowed the strength of the wine and said loudly: "I, the ancestors of the Khitan, want to include the Southern Barbarian Song Dynasty in the territory, and I have failed several times. Today's destiny is at stake, and the great work will be completed in my hands. Good brother, what a beautiful thing it is that I and your monarch and ministers will go down in history one day? What does he care about the Liao and Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Feng's heart suddenly cooled by half, and he felt that the lives of the people in the world were really as light as ants in the eyes of the emperor.

Xiao Feng raised his eyes to look at the south outside the palace, and there seemed to be a phantom in front of him: thousands of Liao soldiers rushed south, the houses were on fire, the flames soared to the sky, countless men, women and children tossed and moaned under the horses' hooves, feathered arrows covered the air, Song soldiers and Liao soldiers killed each other, fell under the horses one after another, blood and rivers flowed like water, and bones were everywhere......

Then he left his seat, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to Yelu Hongji repeatedly, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to plead. ”

Yelu Hongji was slightly startled and asked, "What do you want? ”

Xiao Feng admonished: "Please think about the thousands of living beings in the Song and Liao countries, and take back the holy will of the southern expedition." Our Khitan people have always lived as nomads, and even if they get the land of the Southern Dynasties, it is useless. What's more, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and they will win in difficult times, and if there is a small setback, it will damage the prestige of His Majesty. ”

Yelu Hongji listened to Xiao Feng's words, and was puzzled, thinking that the princes, nobles, generals and ministers who came to the Khitan were all encouraged when they heard the word "Southern Expedition", why did Xiao Feng resist so much?

Xiao Feng, who was kneeling on the ground obliquely, saw his eyebrows frowning, if he was worried, he thought: "I named him the marshal of the army, the southern expedition to the Song Kingdom, and the king will live in Bianliang in the future, which is equivalent to the son of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a great wealth and nobility sent for nothing, why does he not like it?"
