Fu Song

Chapter 356
Different from the shameful and haughty Daliao Pishi army guards behind him, Zhang Rongtao, the chief envoy of this line, was careful with a hint of flattery.

The standard equipment for Daliao's envoy to Song State is usually a Han official from the South Court and a Liao official from the North Court.

Facing the Song Dynasty, Daliao also wanted to talk about some etiquette to show its own dignity, so the Han officials sent as envoys were basically extremely talented and learned, even if they were thrown in the Great Song Hanlin Academy, they would never lose portion.

As for going to Liaodong, Goryeo and other places, the Liao Kingdom didn't have the patience, and basically just went there with a shining knife.And the tone of the messengers' work is almost the same.

Do you agree?

disagree?Fuck you mother!Draw the knife and chop!
Do you agree?

agreed.Well, everything will be fine.

But this set will definitely not work in Song Dynasty.In terms of military strength, Song Dynasty must be weaker, but how much weaker do you think it is?It can't be said, anyway, in the past few hundred years, everyone has come and gone. There are many times when Daliao took advantage of it, but there were also times when Daliao was made into an extremely embarrassing situation.

Therefore, respect is still determined by their respective basic strengths.

Without strength, it's not good to say anything.

With strength, it's not impossible for you to say that shit smells good.

And now, Xiao Ding's Western Army, on the side of the Liao Kingdom, also received the same treatment as the Song court.

Travel etiquette is quite high standard.

Zhang Songtao is the servant of the Ministry of Officials in the South Court, and Yelulu, who accompanied him in the North Court, was from the tent of Mengfu's family. He is now a general of the Pishi Army. general.

And Xiao Ding received such treatment, of course, because this year, he faced the two behemoths of the Daliao and the Song, and won consecutive major victories.

In Hengshan, the Song army won two victories, and Li Dan and Li Du, two senior Southern Song generals, lost their halberds on the battlefield.These two are not silver-like wax gun heads, they are the few experienced and capable generals left in the Song Dynasty who have been tested by countless wars.

In Montenegro, the Liao army was defeated twice.In the first battle, the Liao Kingdom's vassal tribe, the Beizhangbu tribe, was almost exterminated, and tens of thousands of people became prisoners of the Western Army. This time, the Beizhibu Division completely lay flat, and surrendered to the Western Army under the leadership of the great leader Mogus.If they don't surrender, it is estimated that the North Resistance Bubu will disappear in the long river of history.

Liao people admire the strong, and as long as you show the corresponding ability, you can get his corresponding respect.

Zhang Yuan was at the entrance of the main hall with a smile, watching Zhang Songtao, who was holding a scroll in his hand, walk in.

Xiao Ding didn't show up at all.

Before Zhang Songtao could speak, Yeludun was already furious, holding the handle of the knife, he said angrily, "This is the decree of His Majesty the Daliao Emperor, where is Xiao Ding?"

Zhang Yuan laughed, looked at Yeluyu, and said, "Director Xiao is a subordinate of your Daliao?"

Zhang Songtao smiled awkwardly, glanced at Yeludun, and thought to himself, you bastard, didn't I tell you on the way here?Xiao Ding and his group are not those from the Southern Dynasty, if they are offended, they can really draw their knives and chop people up.

On the contrary, in the court of the Song Dynasty, no matter how rude you are, people will endure it without killing you, but here, there is no such thing as etiquette.

The point is, it is very likely that someone else drew a knife and chopped you down, and you died in vain in the end, and in the end you will be charged with ineffectiveness in ruining a major court event.

With a choking sound, Yeluxuan drew half of his knife from its sheath, and said angrily: "How dare Xiao Ding'an be so rude? Quickly call him to receive the order? Otherwise, my army of millions in the Liao Dynasty will leave him dead."

Zhang Yuan's face suddenly sank.snorted.He folded his hands in front of his chest, raised his head and looked up at the sky, his nostrils were directed towards the sky, at the same time, behind him, a party warrior stood up, but it was a rare general with two swords, with his hands on his waist On top of the two sabers in the middle, his lips were slightly upturned, staring at Yeludun, and said word by word: "Do you want to die?"

Yelulu's eyes widened, and he was about to step forward, but Zhang Songtao took a step forward and blocked him: "General Yelu, I am the envoy, don't worry about peace, are you overthinking His Highness's important affairs? "

Yeludun suppressed the anger in his heart, and finally stopped confronting the opponent, but his eyes widened, and he looked at the opposite general fiercely.

"The general manager controls [-] people, governs an area of ​​thousands of miles, and has millions of people under his command. Naturally, he manages a lot of things every day. It is inevitable to be busy with business." Zhang Songtao smiled and found a way for himself.Looking at Zhang Yuan's rolling eyes, he felt contemptuous in his heart, as expected, he was just an unranked scholar with no etiquette at all.

Looking at this appearance, I'm afraid that there is no need to expect the other party to set up an incense table, bathe and change clothes to receive the message, but fortunately, this time I only need to convey the meaning.

Thinking of the imperial decree in his hand, Zhang Songtao couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.

Back then, Li Xu, the owner of the Xingqing Mansion, tried his best to meet the Emperor Daliao, and he obtained the official position in the imperial decree that he was holding in his hand, King Daxia.The seat was obtained, but before Li Xu's butt was warm, he was beaten by Xiao Ding until he had nowhere to go, nowhere to go, and finally died a tragic death in a foreign land.

And the current Xiao Ding, not only has no respect for Daliao at all, but also fights violently, messing up the sides of Daliao's Xijing Road and Shangjing Road, but the seat of King Daxia is given by himself He came to the door, and looking at it like this, I'm afraid people are not surprised.

Zhang Yuan finally stopped pointing his nostrils towards the other party, stretched out a hand, and said: "Well, Zhang Shilang is a sensible person, just give me the imperial edict of this troublesome thing, and our manager will find time to see you later of."

The rudeness reached the extreme, but Zhang Songtao still smiled and handed the imperial decree to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan casually clamped the imperial decree under his ribs, as if it was a roll of toilet paper, Yelurong's eyelids twitched, watching Zhang Songtao smile and bid farewell to the other party, Yelurong turned around angrily and left.

"Wait, wait, one day, I will tear you apart!" Yeludu muttered.

Xiao Ding was in the main hall, watching the envoy of Liao Kingdom turn and leave through the window, but there was a sneer in the corner of his mouth.

"It's quite willing!" Zhang Yuan, who came into the hall, shook off the scroll and said to Xiao Ding with a smile.

Xiao Ding who took the imperial decree casually threw it in the corner, and said indifferently: "I want to be king, but I still need Yelu Hongde to seal it? I want to be a bento, who can do anything to me?"

"The people of Liao are very good at playing the old tune of courtesy first and soldiers later!" Zhang Yuan said disdainfully.

"It's not about the ceremony before the soldiers, I'm afraid it's just to let us relax!" Xiao Ding said: "Yelu likes to dispatch troops and generals. Who can hide such a large-scale use of troops?"

"It's not a lie, I'm determined to win this time!" On the ground of the spacious hall, there was actually a huge sand table, with countless mountains, rivers, cities, villages and roads made lifelike, Zhang Yuan walked in front of Xiao Ding, Staring at the picturesque mountains and rivers under his feet, he said softly, "Boss, this time is much more dangerous than the last time. Song people are also mobilizing troops on a large scale, and Hengshan is about to face another big battle."

Xiao Ding sighed: "I wanted to live in peace for two years, but now it seems that this year is only one year. After the autumn harvest, the war will start again."

"The emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to swallow us up while we were not yet firmly established. Yeluxi wanted to compete with Yelujun for the throne of the Liao Kingdom, and wanted to step on us to take the throne. The two sides hit it off." Zhang Yuandao: "So we have become the best targets. .”

Xiao Ding sat next to a big mountain, the mountain model was almost as high as Xiao Ding's shoulders, pointed to his side, and motioned for Zhang Yuan to sit down too.Although it was not the first time for the warriors standing at the entrance of the hall to see such a scene, they were still shocked.

The country is at your feet, but there are always only a few people who are qualified to guide the country.

This hall is only opened for the second time since the manager moved in here and spent more than half a year to complete it.

When it was officially opened for the first time, it was the last time when the Twelve Army Divisions were designated and the Twelve Army Lords were entrusted. They stood at the gate of the main hall and witnessed the Twelve Army Lords standing on their respective positions. That scene, It really makes every samurai feel excited, maybe after some years, he is also qualified to stand in one of these positions!
When Zhang Yuan sat down, the meandering Yellow River was in front of him. He reached out his hand to stir the water, and some water splashed out with his fingers.

"Sir, how are you going to fight this battle?"

Xiao Ding narrowed his eyes, and took a deep breath: "A double attack, of course, is to grab the weaker one first, defeat him first, and then go back and deal with the strong one."

"I think so too! But this time Song Ren is under the command of Zhang Chao, who is very experienced, so it's hard for him to be fooled!" Zhang Yuan let out a foul breath: "The most annoying thing is this, whether it is Song people are still Liao people, they can lose countless times, but we can't lose the last time, if we lose the last time, we will lose everything."

"Zhang Chao is very experienced, but he can hold his breath. Others may not be able to hold his breath. He can bear it, but others may not!" Xiao Ding said with a smile: "Erlang told me that war , the right time, place and people, sometimes you have to consider the temperament of the people in charge of both sides, the same battle, the commanders have different personalities, it is very likely that there will be two fights!"

"Zhang Chao is a bit difficult to deal with!" Zhang Yuan said.

"But the person in charge of Song Kingdom is not Zhang Chao, but the one from Bianliang!" Xiao Ding laughed, "I already have some ideas for this battle!"

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "I'm not as good at fighting as the general manager. I don't know how the general manager plans to strategize this time?"

Xiao Ding stood up, walked among the picturesque rivers and mountains, and said: "North, I am going to lure the enemy into deep. Yeluxi on the Shangjing Road came to attack. In view of Yelvhuan's big defeat, Yeluxi must be cautious this time, so I will Defensively, retreating all the way, pulling away the opponent's logistical supplies!"

"Use rangers to cut off the opponent's food path?"

"The Liao people's cavalry is not inferior to ours, and the opponent will guard against this move. It's hard to achieve any great results!" Xiao Ding said: "I'm going to lure Yeluxi to Xingqing Mansion and then annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop."

Zhang Yuan was taken aback: "Retreat all the way outside Xingqing Mansion?"

Xiao Ding nodded: "During this process, I have to deal with Zhang Chao first!"

Zhang Yuan suddenly realized: "We were beaten back by the Liao people in the north. The one in Bianliang will definitely push Zhang Chao to make a big move in, but the elite of the Song army have suffered repeated losses in the past two years. They have already been seriously injured. There are not many generals left, once Zhang Chao's slow-advance strategy is interrupted because of the rapid progress of the Liao people, and we have to take risks and go deep, then we have a chance to gather them and wipe them out!"

Xiao Ding nodded and said: "Exactly! After completely defeating the Song army, turn around and gather and annihilate the Liao army under the city of Xingqingfu!"

Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment, and said: "It's too dangerous, sir. If you are not careful, you will lose everything! And if we need to retreat, I am afraid that many people will not see the situation clearly and think that we really can't do it." Surrendering to the Liao people will make our situation worse!"

"War, how can there be a perfect reason?" Xiao Ding was calm: "Erlang told me that the best way to fight is to use absolute strength, with the momentum of Mount Tai, to slowly crush it. But this is a strong battle." As for us, we are the out-and-out weak ones now, what else can we do other than resorting to dangerous tactics? Sir, whether Xingqing City can be held or not depends on you! Enough money and food, enough weapons, enough strong city, and people's hearts."

"Who will be in charge in the north?" Since the Song army must be dealt with first, then Xiao Ding must go to Hengshan. To resist the Liao people in the north, how to achieve defeat without chaos and retreat in an orderly manner requires a deep and important person. Those who wished to do it.

"Tuoba Yangwei is in charge of Heishan Weifu Army Division, Heishui Town Yan Army Division, Baimaqiang Town Army Division, and Right Chamber Chaoshun Army Division to coordinate operations." Xiao Ding mused: "At the same time, I am going to transfer Lei Dejin's The headquarters of the Gansu Army Division retreated to Xingqing Mansion, the Western Regions and other places, leaving only Zheng Jihong's Xiping Army Division to guard."

"Tuoba Yangwei is responsible for fighting and retreating, and Lei Dejin is in charge of Xingqing's final defense battle to wait for the return of the general!" Zhang Yuan said.

"That's right, when the final Xingqing mansion defends the city, you will coordinate, Tuoba Yangwei and Lei Dejin as deputy." Xiao Ding said: "Lei Dejin can't hold back Tuoba Yangwei!"

"I understand! Manager, when the time comes, we will send people to Bianliang to create some momentum so that the official Zhao Song can force Zhang Chao to march faster." Zhang Yuan rubbed his chin and said.

"As long as I return from Hengshan North, we will surely win this battle!" Xiao Ding waved his fist and said loudly.

"After this battle, the manager should take his place!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "If we don't want to be the King of Great Xia, we should be the Emperor of Great Xia."

However, Xiao Ding shook his head: "Dig deep, accumulate food widely, you can be king, but the emperor, there is no need to do it."
