Chapter 898 If this continues, how can I, Daliao, lose face? (Second more)

Chapter 907

"Otherwise, if time delays for too long and reinforcements from the Song Army arrive one after another, then I am afraid that Daliao will..."

"In your opinion, where is the best place to deploy troops?" Yelu Hongji stroked his long beard and murmured, his brows furrowed deeply, and he asked after a long while.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to send troops to the south?" Yelu and Luwo couldn't help being stunned, somewhat in disbelief.

"We, the Liao Dynasty, have not had a major war for decades. Now, we have raised hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the enemy country on behalf of our subjects. So far, we have not gained an inch of land. On the contrary, we have lost face one after another."

"If this continues, what face will I have in Daliao?" Speaking of this, Yelu Hongji couldn't help but glared at his brother resentfully.

It was this guy who, like a stubborn donkey, insisted on fighting against the fortified city of Youzhou, wasting countless fighter opportunities, and even allowed the Song people to find opportunities to win unexpectedly one after another, causing Daliao to lose face.

When Yelu and Lu Wo saw Yelu Hongji's expression as if he was about to eat people, they felt chills, and quickly fell to the ground to apologize.

"Okay, everything has already happened, even if I blame you again, it won't bring me a chance to win." Yelu Hongji waved his hand and said helplessly.

"You'd better think of a way for me to see where it is easier and faster to dispatch troops."

"If Your Majesty wants to mobilize troops to assist Lord Xiao Shenxiao as quickly as possible, then the only solution now is to mobilize troops from Nanjing Road. However, we cannot simply dispatch reinforcements from Nanjing Road."

"Nanjing Road is facing hundreds of thousands of defenders from the Song Dynasty. If our Daliao border is empty, if Song Ting takes advantage of the gap to advance northward at this time, then there will be a big problem."

"So I think that while allocating troops and horses from Nanjing Road, we should send the troops from Zhongjing Road southward to fill the gap left by the reinforcements from Nanjing Road."

"In this way, we can complete the assembly of reinforcements as quickly as possible, and Nanjing Road is also the place closest to Lord Xiao's source of troops."

Yelu Hongji's brows finally eased a lot with Yelu and Luwo's ​​suggestion. "This is really a good choice."

"It's just that the strength of the Zhongjing Road is not much in the first place. If a large number of troops are dispatched to the south, the younger brother is worried..."

After Yelu Hongji frowned and considered for a long time, he shook his head slowly. "It's okay, this is an extraordinary period, and an extraordinary strategy should be adopted. If it doesn't work, let the Tokyo Taoist troops move southward. After my Daliao victory over Song Ting, all the troops will return to their positions."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is a memorial from Xiao Wuna, Mr. Xiao..." Just when the atmosphere gradually became gentle between the two brothers because they were discussing military plans, Xiao Wuna's memorial was handed over to the palace at this time.

Seeing Xiao Wuna's memorial, Yelu Hongji's face, which had just improved a bit, couldn't help but change drastically, and he ruthlessly threw Xiao Wuna's memorial on the ground.

"Bastard, at this time, he actually persuaded me to negotiate a peace. What is Xiao Wuna's intention? Is he a courtier of my Daliao?!" Yelu Hongji's angry roars made Yelu and Lu feel frightened. Wu quickly bowed down and even persuaded the emperor to appease his anger.

Now he still can't see where he couldn't stop attacking Youzhou at the beginning, and decided not to persuade him to continue doing it because of his face.But now, after the army suffered a loss, the emperor was furious and urged to increase the number of troops, not to persuade him to continue. This is probably the same as his original reason.

Face is indeed a big problem.

"Sanchakou was destroyed by the Song army, more than half of the food and supplies were lost, and Wanjingkou was also destroyed by the Song army... If there is any bad news, report it quickly..." Xiao Shen's face was ashen as a terrified man.

Pochao Xinde quietly looked at Xiao Shen and had nothing to say other than to apologize. "Commander, it's no wonder the guards at Sanchakou and Wanjingkou are here."

"After all, no one thought that after defeating General Yelu Jinping, the Song Army would march straight eastward and attack Wanjingkou and Sanchakou before my army could react."

"The important thing is that the food and supplies just arrived at Sanchakou. If the Xiazhou soldiers and horses who got the news did not come to help in time, I am afraid that these food and supplies..."

"Then what do you mean, don't blame you Xi Xia for being cowardly and incompetent, but should blame me?" Xiao Shen was really furious today. Before Yelv Jinping's defeat at the city of Yuzhou, he had already suppressed his anger.

As a result, accidents happened one after another at Sanchakou and Wanjingkou.The first time he heard the news, Xiao Shen immediately sent someone to order Yelu Jinping not to return to Youzhou, but to rush to Sanchakou.

When the army arrived, the Song army had already disappeared, and at this moment, the Xixia soldiers and horses who came from Xiazhou were gathering the remnants of the soldiers, while rescuing food and supplies there.

Yelu Jinping also quickly asked the army to help, but in the end only about half of the supplies were grabbed.At this time, someone came to report that a rout was fleeing from Wanjingkou to this side, that is to say, Wanjingkou was also attacked by the Song army.

Yelu Jinping rushed towards Wanjingkou in a panic, but when he arrived, the Song army had already disappeared without a trace, leaving only ruins on the ground.

Yelu Jinping looked at the burnt ruins all over the ground and was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. He never thought that it would be like this.

He was caught off guard by the Song army and lost nearly half a man. Now, he gathered a large army and wanted to teach the Song army a harsh lesson, but what was the result?

However, the other party led him by the nose and ran around like a dog. Because he was worried that the Song army would harass him again, Yelu Jinping simply led the army and escorted the baggage to the ancient city of Wuyan.

"I don't dare, but my country, Xia, has tried my best to provide food and supplies for the army. What's more, behind the army, a Song army with a strength of [-] appeared, and General Yelu Jinping's [-] division was defeated. come."

"How can the thousands of defenders at Wanjingkou and Sanchakou be the Song army's opponents?" Pochao Xinde argued with reason.

"Bold!" Kankan escorted the baggage here and came to report. Yelu Jinping, who had not yet led his army to leave, almost had his lungs exploded by Pochao Xinde. "You Xixia barbarian, how dare you treat me as General of Daliao!"

"It's not that the lower officials want to humiliate the general, but the general wants to find a scapegoat. Could it be that he thinks that I, Xixia, are weak, so it's just that I can use this official to question the crime?" Po Chaoxin replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Facing Yelu Jinping's anger, he showed no fear, and several Xixia generals also stood up one after another, standing on the side of Qu Chao Xinde.

Xiao Shen finally managed to suppress the situation. "Don't forget, you are all generals now. I, Daliao, and you Xixia are a state of covenant. Now, the Sanchakou was destroyed by the Song army, and they lost food, grass and supplies. Can't this commander ask you?" is that clear?"

Hearing Xiao Shen's words, he softened his words, and Pingchao Xinde was not blindly tough. He led a group of Xixia generals to plead guilty. This military meeting ended hastily without any results.
