Being snatched away by Tong Guan, Wu Zhi simply stopped talking and looked at him with a half-smile.

All along, Tong Guan only cared about grabbing power and flattering Zhao Ji.

As for leading troops to fight, I have never seen him be so active.

What Wu Zhi didn't understand was that Tong Guan was also helpless.

With the rise of Wu Zhi, his status plummeted both in the court and in Zhao Ji's heart.

As a last resort, Tong Guan had no choice but to come forward and show his abilities to Song Huizong Zhao Ji, hoping to regain Zhao Ji's trust.

This time the Liao State raised its troops and went south, Tong Guan saw hope.

Immediately seize the opportunity to speak, get ahead of Wu Zhi, and send troops to attack.

As for whether we can win in the end, I don't think much about it at all.

However, Tong Guan wanted to go out to fight, but Wu Zhi didn't care at all.

There is a magic painting called "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" that confuses Zhao Ji, but he is not worried about falling out of favor.

Even if Tong Guan loses, it is his own fault.

"Tong Aiqing wants to go out to fight against the Liao Kingdom?"

Zhao Ji was slightly stunned when he heard Tong Guan volunteering.

Originally, he was counting on Wu Zhi to go.

After all, the battle to annihilate Liangshan was so beautifully accomplished.

However, Tong Guan wanted to go out and Wu Zhi kept silent, so it was hard for him to refuse.

When the Liao Kingdom invades, someone must carry the weight.

As for whether it was Tong Guan or Wu Zhi, Zhao Ji didn't care much.

"Okay, since Privy Council Tong is willing to take command and go there, I will appoint you as the general marshal of the resistance against the Liao Dynasty and send troops to fight against the Liao Dynasty from now on."

When Wu Zhi did not come forward, Zhao Ji agreed to Tong Guan's request after thinking for a moment.

"Wei Chen obeys your orders!"

After receiving Emperor Zhao Ji's nod of approval, Tong Guan was immediately overjoyed.

Finally, he gave Wu Zhi a provocative look.

Wu Zhi felt like he was fighting for food with a vicious dog.

You can go if you want. There is no need to regard yourself as a competitor. You don't have to compete with dogs for food.

This time, Tong Guan's execution ability was quite high.

After receiving the order on the first day, the troops and horses were organized in the military camp that day.

It took three days to complete the logistics, food and other preparations.

Raised 400,000 troops to fight against the Liao Dynasty.

"My dear, I am waiting for your triumphant return!"

Zhao Ji has great expectations for this expedition.

Before leaving, he even led hundreds of civil and military officials to see him off for ten miles, giving Tong Guan even more face.

"I am determined to live up to His Majesty's expectations and will fight to the death to defeat the Liao army!"

With everyone watching, Tong Guan was full of pride and made a promise to Zhao Ji.

"Set off!"

After giving Wu Zhi a haughty side glance, Tong Guan led his troops and set off.

An army of 400,000 troops marched towards the border in a mighty manner.

"well!"

Seeing Tong Guan's expression, Wu Zhi shook his head and couldn't help but worry about the uncertain future of the 400,000 soldiers.

Tong Guan led his army and did not stop.

After a rapid journey, they stationed themselves on the edge of Xiongzhou and stood close to the city, resisting the Liao army's continued attack on the city.

With Xiongzhou as the center, the two armies faced off.

The Liao army's offensive then ceased.

After the news came back to Bianjing, Emperor Zhao Ji was immediately overjoyed and praised Tong Guan non-stop.

This made Tong Guan more eager to defeat the Liao army.

Only by defeating the Liao army could he regain divine grace and defeat Wu Zhi at the court.

With the idea of ​​defeating the Liao army as quickly as possible, Tong Guanda had the idea of ​​going out of the city to take the initiative and defeat the Liao army in one fell swoop.

"Your Excellency, the Liao army is mostly cavalry, but our army is all infantry. They rely on the city to defend. Our army has the advantage. Once we take the initiative to attack, we may not be able to match the Liao army!"

After Tong Guan had the idea of ​​leaving the city, someone tried to dissuade him.

"What you said makes sense."

Although Tong Guan became the Privy Councilor by relying on his ability to flatter others, he was not stupid enough to seek death.

After being persuaded, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​attacking and just defended the city.

The Liao army tried to attack several times, but was repulsed by Tong Guan.

"Your Majesty the Privy Council, the Liao army is nothing more than this. With your Majesty the Privy Council here, this battle will be won!"

After several victories, Song Dynasty defeated the Liao soldiers and gradually lost its vigilance.

Tong Guan's original fear and fear of the Liao army disappeared because of several victories, and he underestimated the Liao army.

"My Lord Privy Council, our army is twice as numerous as the Liao army. Why not take advantage of the victory and pursue it while the Liao army is exhausted? We can eliminate them in one fell swoop and achieve an unparalleled feat."

Someone saw that Tong Guan was impatient to defend himself early on, so he made some suggestions.

As soon as these words came out, Tong Guan was immediately moved.

In these days, Wu Zhi destroyed the Liangshan bandits and gained Zhao Ji's favor. He gradually lost power in the court.

As long as you defeat the Liao Kingdom, you will achieve unparalleled achievements.

Tong Guan believed that he would become Zhao Ji's favorite minister again.

"No, Lord Privy Councilor! The Liao Kingdom has strong soldiers and horses, and they are all cavalry, but they have a fatal weakness. They are not good at attacking cities. As long as they rely on the city to defend it, the Liao Kingdom has no chance of winning..."

Not all Tong Guanjun is incompetent.

Seeing that Tong Guan planned to lead his army out of the city, the deputy general immediately persuaded him.

"Your Excellency, Vice Admiral Li, what he said is just a coward's opinion. How can I, a man of the Song Dynasty, be greedy for life and afraid of death?

Besides, no matter how high or thick the city is, it will be breached one day. Victory can only be achieved if all the efforts are completed in one battle and the Liao army is defeated in one fell swoop."

The deputy general's conservative words just now aroused opposition from other generals.

"Well, that makes sense."

Tong Guan originally intended to take action, but the words of his generals immediately resonated with him.

"Privy Councilor, think twice!"

Upon hearing Tong Guan's decision, Vice General Li's expression changed and he hurriedly persuaded him.

"I have made up my mind. I will send troops at three o'clock tonight, vowing to defeat the Liao army in one fell swoop!"

Seeing that Vice General Li wanted to persuade him again, Tong Guan immediately stopped him and made the final decision.

It was night, the sky was high, the clouds were dark, and there was no light.

Tong Guan gathered troops at Xiongzhou City.

When the third watch came at night, an order was given, and an army of 400,000 troops pressed directly towards the Liao army camp.

The third watch of the night is the time when the sky is most sleepy.

In the Liao army camp, except for the guards who kept watch at night, everyone else fell asleep.

"God helps me!"

Tong Guan arrived ten miles away from the Liao army camp. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be ecstatic.

As long as he takes advantage of his unpreparedness and defeats the Liao army in one fell swoop, Tong Guan will be able to recapture the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures, make an unparalleled contribution, and become famous throughout the ages.

"All officers and soldiers in the army, the time has come to make great achievements together with this commander. Kill!"

"kill!"

Following Tong Guan's order, 400,000 Song army soldiers roared and rushed towards the Liao army camp.

"Kill all the Liao soldiers!"

Under the protection of his personal guards, Tong Guan stood on his horse and shouted excitedly to the sky.

"Your Majesty the Privy Council, there is no one among the Liao army!"

However, when Tong Guan entered the Liao army's camp, he found that the Liao army camp was empty.

"not good!"

Hearing this, the smile on Tong Guan's face suddenly froze, his eyes were filled with fear, and an unknown premonition came from the bottom of his heart.

"Come on!"

"Kill all the Song soldiers and capture Tong Guan alive!"

After the Song army entered the camp, shouts of killing suddenly rang out in the Liao army camp.
Chapter completed!
