"What should I do?"
"how could I know?"
"I knew I wouldn't fight the Liao army."
"Just don't fight? You didn't see that they had come towards us with weapons last night. Do you think they came to chat with you?"
"Then what should I do now?"
"how could I know?"
At this time, in the camp of the Song Dynasty, many high-level military commanders gathered together, some frowning to discuss the next thing.
The commander is no longer there. This is something that has already been determined. Yesterday the Liao army also admitted that they killed their commander. Both sides also fought a battle, and the loss was not small. However, this matter is obviously not over yet. The army has never suffered such a loss before, can they bear it?
No matter how you think, it feels impossible!
Because of this, the fighting between the two sides only stopped temporarily and will start again soon.
However, after the battle last night, the Song Army once again realized the horror of the Liao Army. Last night, they still fought when they were prepared but the other party was not prepared. Moreover, the sky was very dark, so they got closer. Analyzed the strength of both sides.
However, even so, the number of casualties on their side was even more than that of the Liao Army.
It was bright now, and the Liao army was already reassembling the team. Once they were ready to initiate a charge, no one on Song Jun felt that he could hold it.
For this reason, the atmosphere in the entire camp is not good. The two sides are now at this point, and it will be very difficult if they want to stop the war. Of course they are willing, but the Liao army will definitely not swallow this breath. , Surely it won't just leave it alone.
Everyone hasn't figured out a good way yet.
At this moment, a soldier came in and reported: "Report to the generals, the envoys of the Xixia Army ask for a meeting."
"The messenger of the Xixia Army? What are they doing here, no see!" Someone said impatiently. They and the Xixia Army were originally hostile, and last night, the Xixia Army did not kill their people less, and the relationship between the two parties was not good. At this time, naturally, he didn't want to see the Xixia army.
"Wait!" Another general said: "Bring in the messenger of the Xixia Army."
The messenger hesitated for a while and didn't know who to listen to. The commander was dead. No one of the remaining generals here has enough authority to command the whole army. Everyone is basically equal. Now the orders are different. Let that The messenger was at a loss.
"Why do you see the envoy of the Xixia Army?" said the general who didn't want to see the envoy of the Xixia Army before.
"At this time, they can send envoys. They definitely don’t want to fight us. Don’t forget that we and the Xixia Army are enemies, and the Liao Army and the Xixia Army are also enemies. Moreover, the commander of the Xixia Army, as long as you are not stupid. , We can understand that the Liao army is more threatening than us. If, I am not mistaken, they send envoys at this time, they should want to make an alliance with us and take the Liao army first. As for our mutual affairs, etc. If you have defeated the Liao army, you will count it slowly!" said the general next to him.
"It should be like this." Another general also said.
"But, last night, their people also killed a lot of our brothers." The general who opposed it before said with some uncomfortable heart.
"In this world, there are no permanent enemies. They killed our people last night, and our people killed their people before. Everyone considers them from their own standpoint, and now our greatest enemy is The Liao army, other things, wait until the Liao army is defeated, we will naturally not just let them kill our brothers.” The general said.
Everyone at the scene understood that the three forces near this battlefield are all hostile to each other, and no one deserves complete trust. However, the strength of the Liao army is obviously stronger, and now the Liao army is going to fight the Song Dynasty. To fight Xixia again, with this common enemy, there will be a basis for an alliance between the Song Dynasty and the Xixia Army.
Other generals, thinking about it, can understand the truth, and because of this, even if there are many generals, they are not cold to the Xixia army, but they still summon the envoy of the Xixia army.
And the words of the envoy of the Xixia Army did not exceed everyone's expectations. He did come with Huang Feng’s order to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty. Everyone has a common enemy. Obviously, in Huang Feng’s heart, I also felt that the Liao army was more dangerous and difficult to deal with than the Song army. Only the Xixia army and the Song army joined forces to destroy the Liao army first.
"It's okay to form an alliance, but we can't get too close to each other." said the general who insisted on seeing the envoy of the Xixia army before.
"Of course there is no problem with this. My brother-in-law also means the same." The envoy of the Xixia army nodded and said: "My brother-in-law said that the Liao army will attack you soon. At that time, you will be dragging on the front and we will be from behind. In the offensive, everyone can attack the Liao army together to defeat them."
The Song Dynasty military commander nodded. In this case, it would not do them any harm. Anyway, the Liao army was going to attack them. They were also very happy that someone could attack the Liao army from behind and solve the pressure on them head-on.
"But." The envoy of the Xixia army continued: "We Xixia is a small country with few soldiers and poor equipment. We have already consumed a lot of weapons to defend the city. Therefore, my brother-in-law said, I hope your country can support some food and grass. And weapons to us."
"What?" The general was immediately dissatisfied, "That is your own business, why do you want it with us?"
The Song Dynasty did not lack food, grass and weapons. In the Song Dynasty, although the army’s combat effectiveness was poor, the economy was developing very well. There was no shortage of money in the army. Food, grass and weapons were sufficient, even for the Xixia Army. , There is no problem.
However, the Xixia Army is the enemy of the Song Dynasty after all. If the Xixia Army is given weapons and food, it will be an enemy. Once the Liao Army is defeated, the two sides are likely to meet each other in battle. In this case, the Xixia Army must be given to the Xixia Army. Forage and weapons, the generals of the Song Dynasty were naturally dissatisfied.
"We are lacking." The envoy of the Xixia Army said: "My housemate said that if we don't have weapons and food, we can't act, we can only defend the city."
"Are you threatening us?" The general narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't forget that the Liao Army is also your enemy. If we are defeated, the Liao Army will definitely attack you. By then, you will be finished!"
"I don't bother you to worry about this, my family has his own plan." The envoy of the Xixia army said: "It is really impossible. It is not impossible for us to surrender to the Liao. Anyway, our Xixia was originally an effect. Under the army, it’s not unacceptable, but it’s your Da Song, who originally went to the kingdom of heaven, and was so pressed and beaten by the Liao army. It must be uncomfortable in your heart, and surely you are not willing to depend on the Liao country, right?"
Speaking of this, the envoy of the Xixia Army, watching the changes in the faces of everyone, continued: "Once you are annihilated by the Liao Army, the Liao Army is likely to turn around and continue to attack the Song Dynasty. At that time, the Song Dynasty really didn't have anything. Can withstand the Liao army’s team, it can only be obtained by the Liao army, and with our help, it is still possible to defeat the Liao army. Once the powerful Liao army is defeated, it will be for everyone. It was a great feat, and it is completely conceivable for you to get promoted and get rich."
Hearing this, the generals of the Song army at the scene had a little light in their eyes. Indeed, if they could defeat the powerful Liao State, it would definitely be a huge battle feat for them. You must know that the Liao army invaded the Song Dynasty and entered the Song Dynasty. No man's land, no generals in the entire Song Dynasty can resist them, and in the end, it can only be a humiliating petition.
In this context, if they could defeat the Liao army, would it be a matter of face? The emperor above, as well as the ministers, will definitely reward them.
And this just needs to pay some food and weapons.
Several Song Army generals looked at me at each other, but each nodded, as they reached a consensus, and said to the envoy of the Xixia Army: "Okay, we can give you food, grass and weapons, but you have to do what you deserve. Don’t be perfunctory."
"That's natural, as the generals just said, the Liao Kingdom is not only the enemy of Song Dynasty, but also the enemy of our Xixia. If we can defeat them instead of surrendering to them, we will never refuse." Na Xixia The messenger of the army said.
The two sides reached a consensus on this, and the Song Dynasty army immediately sent grain, grass and weapons to Xixia Kingdom, and Xixia Kingdom also sent an army to help, in order to complete this matter as soon as possible. They all knew that the Liao people could not wait. How long.
Huang Feng sent this messenger to obtain some benefits. In fact, even if the Song Dynasty army is different from giving support, Huang Feng would not really just sit idly by, his vision is not so short-sighted, nor will he give support. The one who chose to surrender to the Liao Kingdom, after all, killed a commander of the Liao Kingdom, and also defeated the opponent's 50,000 troops. If he surrendered, his fate would never be any better.
Therefore, Huang Feng sent this messenger just thinking that it would be good to get the benefits. If the benefits are not obtained, it is nothing. He will not suffer any loss anyway, and he will not think that the Song Dynasty has given him support. It is an absolutely trustworthy ally. In fact, everyone has their own plans.
The actions between Da Song and Xixia could not be concealed from the people of Liao. After all, the movement on their side was still quite big. Therefore, they accelerated their pre-war preparations and tried as little as possible to prepare for the other side. opportunity.
