Chapter 939 You are dead and alive, it's just a war in this era
After listening to Tong Guan's series of questions, Liu Yanqing realized that he had slapped the horse's hoof with his hand. He was just a reckless man, unlike Tong Guan, a wily and powerful official who thought carefully.
Like an arrow piercing a goose's beak or a hook catching a fish's gill, he doesn't know how to answer.
Tong Guan snorted coldly again, secretly thinking that Xiao Tang had indeed seized the opportunity to fight, and it would be very beneficial to him to take down such a great feat. The soldiers of the Western Army currently under the command of Xiao Tang were willing to fight to the death for him, and he made him familiar with it.
Well, this war forced the old and small species to lead their troops northward and win great victories one after another. Now that Xiao Tang intervenes, is it not that tigers are rejected at the front door and wolves are admitted at the back door?
Even if he could deceive his superiors and deceive his subordinates and act arbitrarily, Tong Guan knew that he still had to look at the opinions of the officials at the top and take into account the wishes of the officers and generals of the Western Army at the bottom.
As the Taiwei of the Third Government Office, Gao Qiu could unscrupulously harm Lin Chong. Wang Jin, a front-officer commander with no military power, was the prestige of Liu Fa in the Western Army.
Although Tong Guan knew in his heart that he could only be eliminated, it would inevitably arouse the resentment of a large number of Western Army soldiers. Tong Guan could still suppress and control him if he had to do it, but he could falsely report to the court that he was defeated.
The blame for the victory or defeat can also be placed on Liu Fa, but Xiao Tang led the three armies to perform extraordinary feats with his life, and then framed him again, intensifying the resentment and indignation of the Western Army against him, so in the future he will still be called
How does he lead his troops?
Now a certain family must not be reckless... Even though Xiao Tang's son is hateful, his achievements are all real. Even if Xiao Tang wants to stand up, a certain family can still cure Liu Fa's crime, but
If he and I criticize and refute each other, and the situation gets serious and the officials investigate, it will be detrimental to a certain family... More thought needs to be put into the memorial submitted to the court. It would be inappropriate to take down Xiao Tang now.
, just waiting for the war with the Xia thieves, it won’t be too late to wait for an opportunity in the future to investigate...
Tong Guanwu was thinking in his heart, and all the confidants present looked at each other in confusion. Some of them braved and asked Tong Guan again: "Tong Xuanshuai, is this all you can do to that Xiao Tang kid?"
"That's it?"
Tong Guan's thick eyebrows stood up when he heard this. He slapped his face on the table and said angrily: "Xiao Tang's move is not intended to break up with a certain family! How can he let go of that kid!? Since he is like this
If he behaves like this, I'm afraid he has already planned to go against a certain family! The current situation is not suitable to touch him, but when the opportunity comes, a certain family will teach this guy to die without a burial place!"
Although he was angry in his heart, Tong Guanhuan was not in chaos. Things had to be dealt with one by one, and people had to be sorted out one by one. First, he had to remove Liu Fa, a thorn in his side, and teach him that he would no longer have a foothold in the Western Army.
, and at the same time, stabilize your position in the Western Army. Let me teach you how this kid has been famous for a while with his great achievements. The higher he is held up, the harder he is thrown down. Gao Qiu, the commander-in-chief of the palace, is eager to crush you to ashes. The son of Taishi Cai
Cai Chi died in the rebellion under your care, so how could he be willing to be kind to you?
Huangkou child, do you think that you can do whatever you want after being favored by an official family, and you can compete with a certain family? But you don't know that you have already offended the public. By then, you, Xiao Tang, will know how powerful a certain family is!

Ten miles north of Jingyuguan, the early wind was flying, and suddenly there was another burst of galloping horses. Several battalions of fine cavalry were divided into several teams to inspect the mountain roads. The loess raised by the galloping cavalry filled the sky and covered the ground. Several teams of Song Army soldiers
They were fully equipped with weapons, swords, guns, bows and arrows, but the sharp blades of their weapons and weapons were filled with cold air, and each soldier also had a chilling killing intent. However, when the powerful cavalry who rushed to the front ran up the hillside, they saw the other side.
Several teams of Xia cavalry had just galloped up. As the young Taiwei Yao Pingzhong, who was leading the cavalry, raised his hand fiercely, several teams of Song Army cavalry immediately reined in their reins and looked at the Xia Army knights on the opposite side from a distance. Neither of them had any intention of turning toward the other.
Launch a fierce attack.
Xiao Tang, Niu Gao, Hua Rong and other generals also marched forward with their troops. Under Xiao Tang's instructions, Li Xiaozhong galloped out. He galloped to a long and narrow mountain trail at the bottom of the hillside, and then headed towards the opposite side.
He yelled from a distance: "Now that we are all here, let the captured people come over first, and then we will exchange officers and soldiers!"
After a moment of stalemate, the Xia army on the opposite side finally pushed thousands of people into the mountain path. Most of the Bianting villagers who were originally captured by the Xia army were silent. They first looked around in fear.
Immediately they started running wildly towards the opposite direction of the valley. On both sides of the mountain road and on the opposite side of the hillside, the Song and Xia armies were solemn and alert. Although they did not confront each other, they all glared at each other coldly. Especially
Niu Gao's eyes widened and he clenched his maces tightly. He suddenly saw Wu Yuan, the bald general in the Xia army, riding his horse with a sword and leaping up the hillside to warn Niu Gao.
He snorted coldly and stared at him with a pair of moves.
Wu Yuan also noticed that there was a dark man on the side of the Song Army who was looking at him intently. During the previous fights with the Song Army, Wu Yuan had vaguely seen that Niu Gao was an enemy general with strong martial arts skills and fierce combat.
He grinned, and then shouted loudly and openly: "You black man, you have to stop fighting today and don't want to fight. If you want to kill me, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future!"
Niu Gao heard this and said angrily: "You think I am afraid of you? The good people of Song Dynasty don't do that and go to be dogs for Xia thieves. You must also know that grandpa has joined the army to kill those treacherous birds who have forgotten their ancestors!"
Niu Gao and Wu Yuan, the two fierce generals of the Song and Xia armies, started talking to each other. The military officers nearby became angry and pointed at each other and started yelling. Fortunately, two other generals hurriedly came to stop them.
The troops on both sides saw the impending formation and then gradually calmed down.
The captured Song people rushed out of the mountain trails one after another, and saw that they were surrounded by Song soldiers. They knew that they were finally alive. Some of these people hugged each other and cried with joy, and some fell to their knees on the ground.
With the blessing of the Bodhisattva Nian Dao, some who had lost their loved ones in the war turned around and rushed over to the other side of the valley. They screamed and cursed, and for a while there was a noisy chaos on both sides of the valley. The Song army sent out several groups of troops one after another.
, followed the group of people who were still alive to move to the south towards Jingyuguan, and evacuated out of this tense situation first.
Finally, when it was time for the two sides to exchange lieutenant generals, Brother Cha was escorted forward by Jun Jian and came to Xiao Tang. Although he had been a prisoner for a period of time, Brother Cha still had a calm look on his face. He looked at
He said to Xiao Tang: "When the Japanese king accidentally fell into the hands of General Xiao, he must take this as a warning when he unites the army in the future. But the strange thing is that during the period when he was captured and imprisoned, the Japanese king
The king feels that his trip is worthwhile... I hope General Xiao will take this seriously and give me a chance to avenge my shame."
After listening to Brother Cha's leisurely words, Xiao Tang pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I have experienced many battles in the north and south, but the most difficult enemy to date is undoubtedly your Excellency."
"I am deeply honored to be praised so highly by General Xiao..."
Brother Cha smiled slightly, but when he spoke again, his tone was a bit colder: "But after all, the Song Dynasty has been coveting our territory of Daxia for generations. The Song people occupy the Splendid Central Plains, but the people of my dynasty only want to have enough food and clothing, and they are not willing to settle for generations.
Living in a bitter cold land. Although our Xia Kingdom is weak at this time, sooner or later I will meet General Xiao or Liu Jinglue on the battlefield. By then, no matter life or death, the outcome will be known. I and
The war between you and me will never stop during General Xiao’s lifetime, and even for our descendants.”
Xiao Tang sighed slightly when he heard this, and was lost in thought for a moment, but he said something that although Brother Cha couldn't understand now, he still vaguely understood it until the last moment of his life: "Now is the normal season, although it is just like
Your Excellency has said, but have you ever thought that the Song, Liao and Xia countries have their own differences, and for the benefit of our respective countries and nations, we have joined forces with each other, or killed each other, but who said that one country
The country will be able to survive for thousands of generations? Maybe one day, whether it is the Han people, the Khitan, the Dangxiang Qiang tribe... the people of all tribes and tribes can be the same people of the same country, but when foreign enemies invade, how can we know what you and I are like?
Can’t our descendants become brothers and sisters, unite as one, and jointly resist foreign humiliation?”
