Wu Dalang: I really don't want to be an emperor

Chapter 38
"Marshal, just listen to Xiao Ke's words."

Just when Yelu Liufeng was planning to deal with Yelu Chuqi, Wu Yong, who had been silent all this time, spoke in a timely manner.

"What does Military Master Wu have to say?"

Yelu Liufeng was confused.

However, Wu Yongnai was the person he relied on, so he stopped.

"Commander, Wu Zhi is a famous general of the Song Dynasty, and he defended the city. General Chu Qi's defeat is a normal thing, and I hope the commander will not blame him."

Wu Yong bowed to Yelu Liufeng and persuaded him.

"That's all, since Military Advisor Wu Yong speaks for you, you will be exempted from the blame this time. If you make a mistake next time, you will definitely be punished for both crimes."

After Yelu Liufeng thought about it, he also knew that Yelu Chuqi could not be completely blamed, so he followed Wu Yong's suggestion and exempted Yelu Chuqi from punishment.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, thank you Military Advisor!"

Yelu Chuqi was very grateful to Wu Yong, and after bowing to the two of them, he slowly withdrew from the barracks.

"Commander Wu, the Song army is determined to be a tortoise. There is nothing we can do against them for the time being. Has the military counselor thought of any countermeasures?"

After Yelu Chuqi left, Yelu Liufeng asked Wu Yong for advice.

"It's still the same sentence. We can't attack Yanmen Pass unless it is absolutely necessary. From now on, we will focus on provocation and find ways to attack from within Song Ting..."

Wu Yong thought for a while and made a suggestion to Yelu Liufeng.

"Well, what the military division said makes sense!"

Yelu Liufeng was a famous general in the Liao Kingdom, but he was extremely intelligent.

This storming failed and many troops were lost, so naturally they would not make the same mistake.

In the following days, after suffering heavy losses in the first storm, the Liao army never attacked Yanmen again.

Instead, stealing food and provoking before the battle are the main ones, and both sides make full use of wretched tactics.

The Song army wanted to provoke the Liao army to attack, but the Liao army was not fooled at all.

Similarly, the Liao army wanted to induce the Song army to go out of the city to fight in the field, or even steal a camp, but the Song army also did not take the bait.

After coming and going, the two armies confronted each other for half a month, and the food and grass pressure on both sides was not small.

During the two weeks of confrontation, the two sides also fought several times.

The Liao army attacked Yanmen Pass several times, and the Song army also went out of the city to fight several times.

In the surprise attack on Yanmen, the Song army suffered few casualties, and the Liao army retreated whenever there was a situation, and there were also no casualties.

On the other hand, when going out of the city to fight generals, Song Jun had the upper hand.

However, when he gained the upper hand, Wu used this acquaintance to lead troops to rescue the Liao general, and the Song army's victory was also intercepted.

The battle lasted for half a month, but neither side achieved much results.

Although they did not achieve a big victory, Wu Zhi was very satisfied.

In the absence of victory, the essence is that you have won.

the reason is simple.

The Liao army is the offensive side, and the Liao army is the defensive side.

As long as Yanmen Pass is in hand, it is essentially a victory.

It was the day, in the camp of the Liao Army.

After a day of tentative fighting, the Liao soldiers returned to the camp, and Yelu Liufeng and Wu Yong sat opposite each other.

"Mr. Wu, there is no way to go on like this. The 20 troops are away, and the pressure on our army's food and grass is too great. In another month, no matter whether we win or lose, we will have to retreat."

After drinking a jug of wine, Yelu Liufeng shared his troubles.

"Well, we can only find a way to start with Song Ting. We are under great pressure on food and grass, but Wuzhi is also under great pressure."

Wu Yong saw the advantages and disadvantages of both parties very clearly, and directly expressed his suggestion.

The Liao army numbered 20. The Song army plus the original civilians and defenders of Yanmen Pass were only much more than the Liao army.

The Liao army was under pressure from food and grass, and so was the Song army.

"But since Cai Jing was imprisoned by the Song Emperor, we no longer have internal correspondents in the Song court."

Yelu Liufeng shook his head, thinking Wu Yong's suggestion was too idealistic.

"What do you think of Tong Guan, Marshal?"

Hearing this, Wu Yong smiled softly and spoke.

"Tong Guan?"

Yelu Liufeng thought he heard wrongly.

Then, it was like hearing a joke.

"Mr. Wu, are you telling a joke? That Tong Guancai was wiped out by our entire army just now, and fled back to Bianjing in despair. He hates us before it's too late. How could he be our internal response to Daliao!"

Obviously, Yelu Liufeng did not approve of Wu Yong's suggestion.

"Commander, this moment is the same as the other moment. It is true that Tong Guan hates us, but compared to us, Wu Zhi is the person he hates. Now he is gradually losing power in the Song Dynasty. As long as he is promised huge profits, he will fight with death... ..."

Wu Yong shook his head and expressed his reasoning.

"What the military advisor said makes some sense. If that's the case, then let's do it."

In the end, Yelu Liufeng was persuaded by Wu Yong and adopted this method.

That night, an envoy from the Liao Kingdom came to Bianjing and met Tong Guan with the conditions given by Yelu Liufeng and Wu Yong.

"Hmph, Yelu Liufeng and Wu Yong want me to be a traitor. Are they having water in their heads? The reason why I am in such a mess is all thanks to them! Come on, give me the envoy to Liao!"

As soon as he saw the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, Tong Guan was furious and immediately ordered someone to take him down.

"Master Tong, wait a minute, the two armies are fighting, and the outcome is normal. This is a business matter, not a private matter. The reason why I dare to come to see you, sir, is that I am sure that the two sides can eliminate the gap."

The envoy of the Liao Kingdom was also an eloquent person, which immediately aroused Tong Guan's curiosity and saved his life.

"Oh, please tell me how to eliminate the gap between you and me." Tong Guan asked with a sneer.

"Master Tong, please read this letter. This is a letter written by me, the King of Southern Liao Dynasty, and the military advisor who protects the country."

The envoy of the Liao Kingdom handed over the letter given by Wu Yong.

After seeing it, Tong Guan took a deep breath and remained silent for a long time.

"Yelu Liufeng and Wu Yong are really courageous..."

After reading the letter, Tong Guan sighed.

In the letter, Wu Yong and Yelu Liufeng gave a big bait, which forced Tong Guan to bite the bait.

As long as the Liao Kingdom destroys the Song Dynasty, Yelu Liufeng promises Tong Guan the official position of the Taishi of the Liao Kingdom, and he is also named the King of the Song Dynasty.

"It's not that easy to cut off the military's food and grass. The officials are very strict about this matter..."

Thinking of the difficulty, Tong Guan frowned again.

"My Lord Tong, the Grand Master and King Song are not so easy to get. Otherwise, there is no need to take the risk of seeing Lord Tong!"

As soon as Tong Guan said these words, the Liao envoy immediately shook his head.

"Okay, I, Tong Guan, am willing to risk everything. Anyway, I won't have a good life in the future, so I might as well give it a try!"

After gritting his teeth, Tong Guan made the final decision.

"Then I will congratulate His Royal Highness King Song in advance on his success!"

The Liao envoy was overjoyed immediately after hearing this.

"Haha, thank you for your good words!"

The envoy of Liao's call King Song made Tong Guan feel very satisfied for a long time.

After the Liao envoy left, Tong Guan came to the palace and personally asked Zhao Ji for permission to serve as the grain and grass supervisor.

Although Zhao Ji is a mediocre king, he is not so stupid.

He understands the importance of this battle.

Once you lose, your own life will be over with it.

Anyone can surrender, only he cannot.

Therefore, Zhao Ji rejected Tong Guan's self-recommendation without even thinking about it!
