As soon as the words were finished, everyone was stunned except for the envoys of the Liao State. Including Zhao Xu, he was also a little stunned.

Everyone knows that this time the Liao State sent people to say that the centennial anniversary of the Song Liao truce was just a pretense, and the real purpose was to withdraw the troops from Qingtang in the Great Song Dynasty.

However, no one thought that Emperor Liao would say it so seriously.

In particular, the four words 'to mistake oneself' make no difference in replacing it with tearing the skin.

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "This is what the imperial brother said himself?" ”

"Exactly." The messenger said proudly.

A group of ministers in the court were angry, but receiving foreign guests was not a usual court meeting, so it was not possible to make a loud noise at this time.

So he listened to the heavy panting sound one after another, and the messenger smiled in his heart, and sure enough, the Song pigs were a group of wrecks.

Immediately afterwards, one after another ministers came out to invite Zhao Xu, wanting to refute this Liao dog. But Zhao Xu waved his hand and asked all the ministers to return to their positions.

Turning his head to look at the messenger, Zhao Xu said expressionlessly: "This is not to be remembered by the emperor's brother, I have sent an army this time, aiming to overthrow the Ali bone tyranny~ government, and create a clear sky for the suffering people of Qingtang."

As for what the emperor's brother said, the lives are miserable, and the people are not happy, this is really a strange thing. If the emperor's brother sends someone to Qingtang to take a visit, he will only find that the life of the people of Qingtang is better than before, and it is ......"

"And?"

Zhao Xu leaned forward, pressed one hand on his thigh, raised his eyebrows and said: "Shanzhou, Huangzhou, have long belonged to me, Ali Gu is just a vassal king, I am just dealing with family affairs, the imperial brother does not have to worry." ”

“……”

………………

Zhao Xu's response to Emperor Liao soon reached the ears of officers at all levels on the front line, not only them, but also the people of Western Xia and Qingtang.

Ordinary Qingtang people may not think there is any problem, but the opinions of elites like Ali Gu are very large.

They say that although Lao Tzu Dad accepts your reward and calls you a vassal, it does not mean that this land is yours.

If you talk to Zhao Ji and Zhao Ji, they may sit down and discuss it with you.

But Zhao Xu, a boy who grew up under the oppression of Empress Dowager Gao, urgently needs something to prove his ability. And among the emperors of the two Song Dynasty, if you talk about blood, Zhao Xu is the first to bear it.

Therefore, even if Ali Gu went to hang himself, Zhao Xu would only hold his hands and coax. Let him stop, that's simply not possible.

So the pace of the Song army's attack did not stop at all, and the Liao people could not support them on the surface due to morality, but they secretly sent people to transport a lot of ordnance, and also let his younger brother Xixia transport armor over.

All of this was in the eyes of Song Jun's scouts, but there was no way to do it.

Tang Ning and You Shixiong, the main place of attack is Baodun Valley.

This area, as its name suggests. Mountains stacked on top of each other

It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be said that it is the most difficult bone to gnaw in the entire Qingtang war so far.

"How?" You Shixiong was very simple, and when he faced the officers at the meeting, he threw out three words at the beginning.

"You can fight as much as you say." One of the generals replied.

"I'm for it!"

"Agree!"

"The last general is also in favor!"

Tang Ning blinked, this situation seemed to be no different from when he held a meeting in the Zhenjiang Army.

You Shixiong scolded with a smile: "You bastards, you have enough strength to wield. If you really want to give advice, you will all stare dryly. ”

Then You Shixiong looked at Tang Ning and said, "Tell me about it." ”

Why me again? Tang Ning scratched his head vigorously. Carrying the backwards, there is no such support. If you ask yourself to do everything, won't you become a wage earner?

Seeing that these generals were all looking at him, Tang Ning knew that he must not be too prominent at this time.

Otherwise, these people will be very disgusted with themselves, and we haven't figured out a way, why are you so powerful to come up with it?

So Tang Ning pretended to think for a moment, and said seriously: "Why don't we go around!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals breathed a sigh of relief. The heart said that this kid was quite good at getting things done, and some of them secretly gave Tang Ning a thumbs up, and Tang Ning also showed a knowing look.

Who knew that You Shixiong waved his big hand and said, "That's a good point!" Let's do it! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were in an uproar.

Miao Lu was the first to stand up and said, "My lord, how can this work?" ”

You Shixiong said as a matter of course: "The old man just asked you to give advice, but you refused, and now that someone has finished speaking, you are against it, and it is difficult for the old man to do it!" ”

Miao Lu was about to speak again, but You Shixiong pressed his shoulder and asked him to sit down. Then, looking at the generals around him, he pointed his finger at the map spread on the table and said, "The detour is not a whim.

The old man thought about it for several days before he came up with this solution.

Baodun Valley here, the terrain is very dangerous, it can be called the whole Qingtang, the most easy to defend and difficult to attack section. Besides, the mountains here are stacked, and it is very easy to set up ambushes, and when we get to the bottom of the mountain, the ambush soldiers on the mountain have been waiting for a long time.

Therefore, it is very risky to lay down the Baodun Valley and march westward. At present, there are only about 30,000 troops on the southern front to drive, and even if there are 30,000 more people in this area, in the face of ambushes, they will come from looking for a way to die.

Since there is no hope of passing here, why don't we take a detour and use our loose teeth to gnaw on this hard bone? ”

"But my lord, Ali Gu has gathered a lot of troops in Baodun Valley, and he has also gathered a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance here.

If this place can be taken, it will be equivalent to giving Ali Gu a heavy blow.

The last general is willing to be the vanguard and lead the troops to open the way for the army! Miao Lu got up and hugged his fists.

"Having said that, Ali Gu is now hopeless. Why make unnecessary sacrifices in a war that is sure to be won? ”

"How do you know that Ali Gu is hopeless? Didn't he just take over the supplies aided by the Liao State and the Western Xia? ”

The other general wondered.

You Shixiong smiled, took out a letter from his bosom and raised it, and then stuffed it back.

"Reliable information sent back by the officials of the Wu De Division, Ali Gu has fallen out with Ghost Zhang. Under the internal and external troubles, how did Ali Gu turn over? ”

"Huh? What's going on here? ”

"Now the power of Qingtang is basically in the hands of Ali Gu and Ghost Zhang. The war has progressed to this extent, and there is no foreign aid, Ali Gu thinks about surrendering.

But Ghost Zhang refused, so the two had friction. In the end, it was Ghost Zhang who led 500 people to capture Ali Gu and imprison him in his tribe.

Now our opponent has changed from Ali bone to ghost chapter. If the leader of the other party is still Ali Gu, we must take down Baodun Valley.

But the opponent turned into a ghost chapter, which made it much easier. ”

"My lord, what do you mean by that?"

"The old man has been in Qinfeng Road for decades and has dealt with Qingtang people for decades. Ghost Zhang is a person who has no flesh and blood, but no resourcefulness.

The most important thing is that he still does not listen to persuasion. The counsellors around him gave him advice, and he would adopt whatever was pleasing to him. Contrary to his ideas, he would not adopt them, but would punish them.

For a long time, he has been surrounded by slanderers, and everything he says is what he wants to hear.

And he, the way to fight is only two words, that is, attack.

His bravery was one of the best in Qingtang, so he thought that having himself in front of him would be enough to resist the offensive of our army.

Therefore, Qingtang under the guidance of the ghost chapter must be a group of reckless people. Their fighting style will change greatly, and they may have to suffer a lot if they make a little bit of a difference.

And in this case, the defense of the rear is bound to become weak. As long as we take a detour, go west, from Huaihe Village, and attack to Xilan Sect Fort, isn't this Qingtang City in our bag?

The old nest has been copied, why should the ghost chapter continue to fight? ”

"But if the Baodun Valley finds out that we are not there, I will definitely inform the ghost chapter, my lord......"

"So this time, we're still going to send surprise soldiers to make a surprise attack." You Shixiong looked at everyone with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, who wants to lead the troops into battle?" ”

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they all think this thing is too outrageous. In the end, Miao Lu stood up and said: "My lord, the last general has the courage to ask, where did the information of the Wude priest come from?" ”

"Son of Ali Bone, Blind Sign."
