Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

"Your Majesty, it's better to withdraw the troops. The Empress Dowager Xiao has been restrained all these years. Maybe it's my attack on Xia that annoyed her."

"As long as our army... withdraws from Xixia, the Liao Kingdom will also withdraw its troops."

Fu Bi said angrily:

"No, our army suffered such heavy losses, and it was so easy to attack Xingqing Mansion, how could we just give up?"

"My minister is willing to go on an envoy to the Liao Kingdom to hold them back."

Pan Renmei shook her head and said:

"Fuxiang, it's useless. Since the Liao Kingdom has sent troops, how can you tell them to retreat with just one word?"

"Besides, at this time, it's too late for you to go to Liao Kingdom."

Fu Bi was reluctant in every possible way, and after a while he said:

"Perhaps the Liao Kingdom is just a demonstration by Chen Bing. As long as we attack and destroy Xixia, they will naturally retreat when they see that there is no advantage to take advantage of."

Pan Renmei laughed secretly, thinking that Fu Bi was too ideal, but he didn't persuade him any more.

Whether he retreats or not, he is happy to see it succeed.

"This......"

The emperor hesitated, not knowing what to do.

After thinking for a while, Fang said:

"In that case, wait a minute?"

At this time, he was worried and afraid, and he was still unwilling.

Originally, because of the information that the Liao Kingdom was attacking Goryeo, the imperial court took the opportunity to attack Xia.

For this reason, Da Song even ignored Goryeo's overtures and pleas for help a few years ago.

Unexpectedly, seeing that Xixia was about to be captured, the Liao Kingdom would rather give up Goryeo than intervene. What about the brotherly covenant?

A few days later, Ji Yisi sent another message, this time more detailed.

The Liao Kingdom dispatched more than 30 troops, divided into three groups.

The first group of soldiers and horses left Youzhou and came to Xiongzhou, Hebei. The chief general of Waqiao Pass, Yang Zongbao, had already sent an emergency document.

The second group of troops went down the Yellow River, along the Hengshan Xiazhou line, and entered Lingzhou to cut off the retreat of the Xia and Song troops.

The third group of people rushed forward lightly and drove directly to Helan Mountain to support Xingqing Mansion.

Pan Renmei slapped her thigh and said, "My one hundred thousand troops are in danger."

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Pan Renmei said:

"Although Cao Bin and others have sufficient food and grass for the time being, they cannot replenish logistics such as arrows and summer clothes."

"Now his back is cut off, surrounded by 10,000+ troops, if he fights, he will definitely lose!"

Everyone was shocked, and the emperor quickly said:

"I will send an imperial order to respond!"

There are no troops to send on the northwest border. If you want to respond, you can only mobilize the forbidden troops stationed in Gyeonggi from Kaifeng.

Pan Renmei shook her head and said:

"The soldiers of the Liao Kingdom came to Waqiaoguan just to prevent us from reinforcements."

"Once the Central Plains is empty and there is no danger for us to defend in the north, the Liao people will follow the trend and go south to Kaifeng."

Not only that, but now that the northwest is empty, as long as the Liao Kingdom controls Xixia, they will be able to enter the Central Plains from Shaanxi Road and threaten Bianjing.

At that time, the Liao Kingdom can attack from three directions: Taiyuan, Yanzhou, and Baozhou, and the Song Dynasty will be in danger of destroying the country.

As soon as these words were said, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and the emperor said dryly:

"What should we do now?"

Pan Renmei said: "Quickly order Cao Bin and the Yang family to retreat, maybe they can save tens of thousands of horses!"

In his view, it is impossible to retreat completely. If Cao Bin retreats, Xixia will definitely pursue him, and he will be lucky if he can keep 4 or [-] people.

This is still without being intercepted by the Liao army.

If the Liao State preemptively cut off the back road, the entire army may be wiped out, and this possibility is extremely high.

Seeing the emperor looking over, Fu Bi let out a long sigh and said:

"Officials, we can only retreat, I hope there is still time!"

Then he added: "Use flying pigeons to pass the book!"

The emperor heard the words and said quickly:

"Quickly order the Secretary of the Imperial City to pass the letter to Yanzhou, and order Cao Bin and Madam She to retreat quickly!"

Flying pigeons can only reach Yanzhou, and the flying pigeons in Lingzhou have not yet been cultivated in a hurry.

After a while, the Imperial City Envoy ran in sweating profusely, crying without tears:

"Officials, I will be punished with death, and all the flying pigeons to the northwest will be poisoned!"

When the emperor heard this, he almost fainted.

Fu Bi hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

The Imperial City Division has been infiltrated by people, and these people are too incompetent.

The Imperial City Envoy quickly explained:

"We suspect that the spy is under the command of Liao Princess Yelu Guanyin..."

Seeing Fu Bi's impatient expression, he quickly added:

"The lower official has sent a fast horse to Luoyang to deliver the book."

Fu Bi shook his head and said:

"It's late, it's late!"

Seeing the emperor looking over, he could only say:

"Do your best, and obey the destiny."

Pan Renmei also shook her head slightly.

The time was already very urgent, and now it will be a few nights, and the Song army is basically hopeless in the summer.

Seeing the usually amiable emperor, his face was pale, and there was a mad killing intent in his eyes.

The Imperial City Envoy almost sat paralyzed on the ground...

It was already half a month after Cao Bin received the news from the court.

Not long after they arrived in Xingqing Mansion, it took five or six days just to build the siege equipment.

Then they tentatively attacked the city for two days.

Before he could do his best, he received the imperial court's order.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone was silent.

No one expected that the originally good situation would suddenly take a turn for the worse.

Madam She sighed helplessly and said:

"The imperial court asked me to wait for the withdrawal, but there is a way to retreat. Who would like to end the rear?"

Everyone was about to discuss, but Cao Bin shook his head and said:

"If you want to withdraw, you will withdraw, but I will not withdraw anyway!"

I have already hit the capital of Xixia, is my loss wasted?The Marquis and the Duke are gone?

Even if you want to withdraw, you can't suffer such a big loss.

In fact, he has some unspoken plans.

If you don't retreat, you will lose completely. If you retreat, you will lose more easily, but it is not much worse. It is better to try.

When everyone heard the words, they were stunned for a moment, they didn't understand what he meant, Madam She thought he was red-eyed, and persuaded:

"Cao Bin, don't be impulsive. The Liao Kingdom has already dispatched troops. Once our retreat is cut off, the entire army will be in danger of being wiped out!"

Aunt Yang also said:

"We are not willing to retreat like this, but we must focus on the overall situation and not be arrogant."

Cao Bin pointed at the Xixia map, shook his head and said:

"When did the Liao Kingdom send troops? It's probably been a month."

"Even if we retreat, we will encounter the army of the Liao Kingdom, so we might as well fight with all our might!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and after a while, Mu Guiying said:

"Even so, we should retreat."

"Xingqing Mansion has enough food and grass, the city is tall and the river is deep, and there are at least [-] to [-] defenders. How can we take it in such a hurry?"

"Are you confident that you can break through the Xingqing Mansion within a few days?"

Cao Bin shook his head and said, "No, I'm not good at attacking cities!"

Mu Guiying rolled her eyes and almost scolded, so why don't you say a fart.

However, he explained carefully:

"Even if we are intercepted by the Liao army, we still have a chance."

"If you are trapped in this city, I will wait for ten deaths and no life!"

At this moment, the soldiers came to report:

"Generals, Xixia sent envoys to negotiate peace!"

Cao Bin suddenly laughed and said:

"Who is here?"

The soldier said: "It is the king of Xixia who discusses politics, and his name is Brother Wei."

Cao Bin hurriedly said, "Let him in."

After a while, brother Weiming Wei had already walked in. After saluting first, he said:

"I have seen Madam She, Uncle Zhong Jing, Hun Tianhou, and all the generals."

"Now that our Xixia reinforcements have arrived, are you going to attack the city?"

"As long as the Song army withdraws, I, Daxia, promise not to pursue them!"

The female general of the Yang family couldn't help showing joy when she heard this.

If Xixia allows himself and others to retreat, the losses of the Song army will be greatly reduced.

Cao Bin said:

"If you want me to retire, I have two conditions!"

"First, your Xixia Kingdom is not allowed to claim the title of emperor both internally and externally. You must call yourself the King of the Song Dynasty."

Hearing this, Madam She could not help but nodded in relief.

Although the request at this time is a bit of a threat to the weak, it is also normal. It can be seen that Cao Bin is really thinking about Song.

Brother Wei Mingwei did not hesitate at all, nodded and agreed:

"My Xia Kingdom has made peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and has never claimed to be emperor, but only regarded myself as a king."

His words are a bit watery. Although Xixia did not claim to be emperor externally, but from time to time he presumptuously in the letter of credence, and internally he also called himself emperor.

But Cao Bin didn't care, and continued:

"Secondly, ask your country's master to write a letter, calling me the official family of the Great Song Dynasty as grandfather!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, before they understood what he meant, Cao Bin continued:

"Let's just lick my face and be a godfather, and there are them."
