Chapter 877 Xiao Shen, you bastard! (first update)
Chapter 886

Hearing Yelu and Luwo's ​​praise, Xiao Wuna shook his head helplessly and explained. "This old man is not fighting. This is actually just trying to force a peace. Once the forces of the two sides gather together, either they will meet each other to the death, or they will sit down and talk under evenly matched forces. That's all..."

Seeing Yelu and Luo frowning, as if they had something to say, Xiao Wuna cleared his throat and asked.

"The current Song Ting's military strength, after more than a month of fierce battles, don't you still know, Your Highness?"

Yelu and Luwo froze for a moment, then nodded slowly and slightly with some difficulty. "The morale is strong and tenacious. The important thing is that the military equipment of the Song Dynasty now seems to be better than that of my Daliao..."

"Whether it is the Yuanyou Armor of the Song Dynasty or their Yuanyou Crossbow, for us in the Liao Dynasty, they are the weapons we dream of..."

"I remember that in the past, the god arm crossbow of the Song people also had an extremely long range. However, the cost of the crossbow was so high, and the materials and time consumed by the crossbow arm were just heard. I, Daliao, could not spend as much as the Song people."

"Even if the arm crossbow has to be replaced every three to five hundred shots, otherwise the range will be greatly lost, but even so, the god arm crossbow has still become a nightmare in the hearts of my Daliao and Xixia soldiers."

"But now, there are actually more Yuanyou crossbows like this. I remember when we first attacked Youzhou, the soft steel crossbows called Yuanyou crossbows by the Song people only numbered [-] to [-], and up to this month Besides, I am afraid that each Yuanyou crossbow has fired no less than a thousand rounds, but it can still maintain a range far exceeding that of our Liaoxia coalition archers..."

"That's right, relying on these two offensive and defensive weapons alone has caused my army a headache, not to mention the endless new equipment of the Song people..."

"Then, Your Highness, if you let the defenders of Youzhou City, with similar strength, put aside other factors, and go out in the wild for a while, what will the outcome be?"

Yelu and Luwo hesitated for a long time, and then said in a deep voice, "The number is five to five."

"The number of five to five means that the winner is half the loser... Then if this is the case, if we don't sit down and talk, can Daliao really be able to fight a long-lasting battle for the fate of the country with Song Ting?" Xiao Wu Accepting these words, Yelu and Luwo felt as if they were stuck in their throats by a chicken bone.

I couldn't swallow it, couldn't spit it out, and finally I could only shake my head with a wry smile. "Gu understands, it's still the boss who thinks carefully."

"The old man is only good at strategy, but at least he has been in the army with His Highness for more than a month. Now it seems that the best result is that Youzhou can't go down. Even if I lose some face in Daliao, if the two sides can sit down and talk, then is the best outcome."

"But I'm afraid that kid Xiao Shen, in order to make His Majesty happy, try his best, if any more soldiers and horses are damaged, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, sir. If His Majesty's decree comes, I will definitely not delay. I will immediately set off to Shangjing to meet His Majesty. As for the military affairs, Sir, I still need to do a lot of work." Yelu and Lu Wen nodded heavily and stood up. He saluted Xiao Wuna.

"Don't dare to be a gift from His Highness, I will definitely do my best... I only hope that God bless me Daliao."

At this moment, Yelu and Luwo were no longer as ambitious and ambitious as they were when they led the southward journey at the beginning, and almost all of them had been crushed in Youzhou.

"Do you need to talk to Xiao Shen first?"

"Forget it, Your Highness, don't you and I still know what kind of person Xiao Shen is? If this is true, it will anger him, and he will be included in the book again. Why bother?"

#####
"Respect your lord, congratulations to your lord, I believe that within a few days, the good news will come that your lord has become the leader of an army." At this moment, in Xiao Shen's big tent, on top of the military case, there were already seven or eight letters from the Liao Kingdom. A letter of good news from Shangjing.

Hearing the words of congratulations from his confidants, even though Xiao Shen was reserved, he couldn't help but beam with joy and smile. "Okay, everyone, don't be too happy, everything is possible before His Majesty's will."

"What your Excellency said is true, but the problem is that now that the matter has come to this point, Your Highness has been perfunctory in the war and made no achievements. As a result, there are complaints from all over Daliao. If Your Excellency does not take action, does Your Majesty want to see hundreds of thousands of our tigers and warriors here in vain? Delay for several months and return without success?"

"That's right, I also feel that His Majesty's will may already be on the way..."

There was an endless stream of congratulatory voices, and Xiao Shen's hearty laughter, which was rare without the intention of a sinister owl, spread outside the big tent and spilled out from time to time.

The news that the army was likely to change commanders soon, and that the new commander would be Xiao Shen, the current military supervisor, spread throughout the hundreds of thousands of troops in less than a day.

The generals couldn't help their thoughts floating, and Yang Shen's military tent, which was sitting outside the west gate, almost instantly became the most lively place among the Xixia army.

On the other hand, the Chinese army tents of Yelu and Lu On, except for the time of Mao o'clock every day, and when Yelu and Lu On ordered to hold military meetings, they can almost be described as deserted.

"What did you say?" Yelu and Luwo hesitated again and again and finally decided to call Xiao Shen over in private, wanting to discuss with him, if they really leave, what will happen to the army at that time.

But what he never expected was that the confidant he sent would bring such a ridiculous excuse.

"Lord Xiao Shen, he has unbearable abdominal pain and needs to be nursed for two or three days. Not only is he unable to come now, but he is afraid that he will not be able to come over tomorrow or two days later. Therefore, I specially asked the general to apologize to Your Highness on his behalf. .”

"Xiao Shen, you bastard!" No matter how well-mannered Yelu and Lu Wo are, they turned the table and scolded their mothers angrily at this moment.It never occurred to him that Xiao Shen's previous low-key and silence were all fakes.

"Your Highness, you are hurting yourself by being angry, why bother to get angry with such a low-minded person." Xiao Wuna resignedly rubbed his brows and persuaded Yelu and Luwo.

"Now Gu is still the commander-in-chief of the army, and Xiao Shen is still just the military supervisor. How dare he be so arrogant and domineering now? When he really becomes the commander-in-chief of this army, won't it be like going to heaven!" Yelu and Lu Wen gasped. The cow, with a ferocious face, sprinted inside the big tent like a trapped animal.

"His idea, in my opinion, is very simple. It's just a villain's success. Now, now that he has received the news from Shangjing, the generals in the army have rushed to flatter him. At this time, he will go forward again. Come to His Highness's tent and obey your orders..."

"I'm afraid it's because he feels that his face is really hard to bear. If that's the case, it's better to say he's sick."

"My lord, are you speaking for him?!" Yelu and Luwo turned their heads and snorted in a very unhappy mood.

"No, the old man just analyzed his psychology." Xiao Wuna shook his head slowly and explained. "Actually, that's fine too. It's much better than him having a conflict with your Highness in front of others."
