"Defeat is defeat, even if you defeated me with conspiracy and a series of subordinate means, I Xiao Gan will not deny it, let alone be ridiculous enough to use any words to retain my dignity. I just regret that I didn't lose in the hands of your Great Song elite soldiers, but I fell into the villain's calculations. Xiao Gan looked back at Sun Tu and said slowly.

Sun Tu smiled, his words seemed to be nothing wrong at first glance, but when he thought about it carefully, there were many contradictions inside, just like the words and deeds he showed at the moment. However, he didn't mind talking to him a little more at the moment, so he said in passing: "What about the failure that you can accept, according to your meaning?" ”

"Of course, it's a dignified battle, and you and my two armies will show their strengths, rather than relying on the use of the victorious army to carry out this series of conspiracies."

"That's a good point." Sun Tu suddenly stroked his palms and laughed: "I really didn't expect that such words would come from the mouth of your Xi Wang Xiao Gan." As far as I know, you Xiao Gan has always been known for his treacherous use of troops in the Liao army, and he has made extensive military achievements for many years, why did he begin to emphasize the need to fight openly and honestly today? ”

"This ......" Xiao Gan's face froze, and he didn't know how to respond. Originally, his words were just to save some face for himself and his subordinates, who would have thought that Sun Tu would really argue with him, which really caught him by surprise.

"Also, your so-called fair battle must be that the two sides have set up their military horses, and they will face each other head-on outside the city and fight each other. That's really a good wishful thinking, your Liao people are already good at cavalry, and my Song army is mostly foot soldiers, do you think such a decisive battle is really fair and righteous?

"Besides, what is your idea in going south this time, I can't guess the truth? If you take Zhuozhou, you can put this elite army in the strategy of the main force of our Great Song Dynasty, and then you can cooperate with the main force of the front line, and at the same time raise troops to kill the main force of our Great Song Dynasty, so that the battle situation can be determined. I'm going to ask you, is this kind of trick really above board? ”

A series of questions were thrown out, and they shot at Xiao Gan's face like sharp arrows, making all his excuses shattered, and even more ridiculous and scoundrel of his remarks just now. Suddenly, the surrounding Song soldiers burst into laughter, and countless disdainful glances were thrown like arrows, which made Xiao Gan a little unsure of how to speak again.

Sun Tu's words continued: "The way of using soldiers is uncertain, each depends on his ability, and only looks at the last resort, no matter what strategy is used in the middle. Now I only know one thing, you lose, I win. I don't know what else you have to say, King Xi? ”

After snorting for a while, Xiao Gan finally lowered his arrogant head: "It's like this, I am the general of the defeated army, the prisoner of the ranks, and I have nothing to say." If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”

"King Xi can rest assured, my Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and my Sun Tu is not a person who loves to kill, since you sincerely surrender, I will not apply the sword and axe to you. Come on, take King Xi down to rest, so he can watch it, but he can't let him have anything to do. ”

With this order, a soldier immediately stepped forward and escorted Xiao Gan and the other troops to the city. This made Xiao Gan and the others finally breathe a sigh of relief, at least they didn't have to worry about their lives for the time being, and it seemed that Song Jun didn't seem to follow them

The plan to get some military secrets.

And just as they were gradually moving forward, thinking about what to do next, a voice suddenly asked abruptly: "Do you have a Nanjing guard here?" ”

These words made the footsteps of several Liao generals pause suddenly, and the expressions of several of them changed even more, and the rest of them subconsciously focused their eyes on them. And at this moment, Xiao Gan's heart, who had already accepted the fact of the fiasco, chuckled, his face turned even pale, and he turned back suddenly, looking at Sun Tu, who was smiling and looking at himself and the others, and the words just now also came from him.

These Liao generals didn't understand what was wrong with this, until Sun Tu came slowly: "Sure enough, it seems that in order to take Zhuozhou this time and pacify the battle in the south as soon as possible, your Liao State has taken a desperate risk, and desperately mobilized all the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized and thrown here." Only then did he suddenly wake up, and he was also colorless, and the Nanjing guards began to tremble a little.

"What are you talking about, General? Why did just a few words scare all the Liao people like this? Most of the Song soldiers still couldn't figure out what was going on, only Song Jiang Yue Fei and the others showed a surprised smile, and when they looked at Sun Tu again, the admiration on their faces was about to overflow.

Shicai, they also felt strange, why did Sun Tu spend such words to argue with Xiao Gan. To be honest, given the current situation, there is no need for them, as the victors, to say this to their captives, after all, facts speak louder than words. And now, they finally understood that Sun Tu said this completely to paralyze the enemy and make them relax their vigilance, so many words, just for the last temptation.

Since the Liao army was killed under the city of Zhuozhou and let Sun Tu see clearly the strength of their troops, he had a question in his heart, where did the Liao people mobilize so many elites?

If it were in an ordinary time, it would be normal to mobilize 50,000 or 60,000 people to attack a Zhuozhou with the strength of Liao. But now it is not the same as before, the current Liao State is in the midst of internal and external troubles, the north and the south are enemies at a critical juncture, it can be said that every line of soldiers and horses is related to their life and death, how can it be easy to mobilize so many people from elsewhere?

It is impossible for the 100,000 troops in the south who are confronting the main force of the Song army to send troops and horses, and the situation in the north is even more unbearable, but maybe Xiao Gan can really mobilize some, but the number is definitely not much. Coupled with the elite soldiers of the Xi clan under his department, as well as the Feiyan cavalry of the descendant clan of 10,000 people, no matter how Sun Tu calculates, it will not reach 50,000.

And the only thing that could still be allocated to help was the Liao State Nanjing, which was not far from here, that is, the city defense garrison of Youzhou City. Because of the importance of Nanjing, the city has always been equipped with a large number of soldiers and horses to garrison, as far as Sun Tu knows, there were no less than 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers there in the past.

However, judging from the previous situation of the Liao army mobilizing multiple garrisons in the south and gathering the main force of 100,000 to fight the Song army, the garrison of Nanjing should have been partially transferred, and there should be only 20,000 or 30,000 people left who were barely enough to deal with the defense of the city.

Although the number of troops has been halved, judging from the situation here in Zhuozhou, plus the city defense of Youzhou is even more in Zhuo

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Above the state, only this little soldier and horse is enough to defend Youzhou, at least with these soldiers and horses under Sun Tu's hands, it is difficult to break through this important city in a short time.

But now, with Sun Tu showing the reality of their forces in Youzhou, everything is completely different. It turned out that in order to take Zhuozhou and defeat the Song army as soon as possible, Xiao Gan actually brought out all the defense troops in Youzhou this time, which was almost hollowed out of the garrison there, and it was almost an empty city!

This is indeed an extremely important piece of information, and it can even be said that it is related to the victory or defeat of Song Liao's battle. Because the Song army went north to attack Liao this time, its ultimate goal was not to destroy the Liao State, but to recapture the sixteen states of Youyun, which were very important, and among them, Youzhou City was the most critical point. As long as this city is taken, with the current situation of the Liao State, I am afraid that I can only give up this large area of the city and choose to negotiate with the Song Dynasty.

When Sun Tu summoned the generals, explained everything, and pointed his finger on the city called Youzhou on the map, the breathing of all the generals in front of him became heavy. This is really an immortal great merit in front of the big guys, as long as they can take Youzhou, they will become the world's famous heroes, great heroes, no matter what they have done before, they will be covered by this great merit, and they no longer have to worry about their origins and past sins.

"General, this is indeed a godsend, we must not miss it!" Song Jiang was extremely rare to be the first to speak, with a posture of preparing to send troops.

"Yes, general, as long as you take Youzhou, the main force of the Liao army will inevitably collapse without a fight, which is a few points more likely to win than if we rely on Zhuozhou to attack the Liao army from the side." Dong Ping also echoed and said.

Then, the other generals also followed up one after another, all of them were impatient, and they just wanted to immediately send troops north to attack Youzhou, so they sent everyone to shout the slogan of taking Youzhou and making a big deal happen.

But at this time, Sun Tu seemed quite calm, and after his eyes swept over these subordinates who were eager to send troops, he finally fell on Yue Fei, who had been silent: "Pengju, do you have any different opinions?" ”

After his reminder, everyone noticed that the youngest general seemed to have a little hesitation on his face, as if there was something difficult. Obviously, Yue Fei has also had a lot of prestige in the army in the past two years, and some people really asked with the same concern: "Brother Yue, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"General, brothers, Fei just feels that this matter is not as easy as imagined. What we can think of, can the Liao people not think of it? Since Youzhou is so crucial, they will naturally do everything possible to draw troops and horses from elsewhere when they know that the city's garrison is insufficient. If we go late, I'm afraid it won't be possible. ”

"Isn't that better to send troops as soon as possible?"

"There is also a problem with this, because in this way, the momentum is huge, and even the main force of the Liao army in the rear will know about it. Once they come after them recklessly, how do we respond? Even if we can really resist it, our plan to take Youzhou will inevitably be difficult to achieve, and our casualties will inevitably be great. ”

As soon as these concerns were spoken, the confident generals immediately fell into silence as if they were being poured cold water.
