"You--" A gloomy light burst out in Xiao Xiangsheng's eyes. Unexpectedly, this barbarian actually used His Majesty and the military order to suppress him. In the eyes of everyone, he could not openly disobey his orders. Xiao Xiangsheng's face changed several times and he sneered twice, "What a great master, what a great power! Today you have no troops to advance, causing the army to retreat. I want to see, what kind of remedy do you have?"

Xiao Xiangsheng was full of resentment. He thought that he was not acting recklessly today. The slammed horses had already explored this place, and there was no trace of the Southern Barbarians a few days ago. These Song troops clearly arrived at the battlefield shortly after they arrived, and the camps were built in a hurry. Most of the Liao troops were cavalry, which was beneficial to attack but not defending. The only favorable terrain was covered by the Song army's artillery fire. Capturing the Song army's artillery was the key to controlling the entire battlefield situation. Therefore, Xiao Xiangsheng came up and attacked the artillery with casualties with Khitan soldiers and horses, and personally led his troops to charge the battle with the lord of the commander-in-chief. He almost died several times, but he was charged with the crime of "sending troops without authorization".

"Let's talk, what's the solution?" Xiao Xiangsheng stared at Brother Tiemu, as if fire was about to spurt out of his eyes.

All the generals also looked at Brother Tiemu, and the firelight reflected everyone's faces were unstable. Since the Liao army invaded the south, the power of the Eastern Expedition was unstoppable. The Song army along the way either collapsed at one touch or surrendered. Only 50,000 Liao troops actually swept across the entire Jiangnan East Road in more than a month and took down famous cities and towns such as Hangzhou and Jiangning. This also encouraged the arrogance of the Liao army. Unexpectedly, this Western Expedition was defeated again and again. In a month, the casualties and wounded were several times as many as before. From top to bottom, the morale of the army rose, and the prestige of the commander of the Western Expedition Army Tiemu Ge also fell to the bottom.

Brother Tiemu waved his hand and ordered his personal soldiers to retreat, so that all the generals could enter the tent. The temporary leather tent seemed very crowded. The generals sat cross-legged, and a simple mountain and terrain map was spread out in the middle. Other tea bowls, pastries and other items were not available. Brother Tiemu looked around the generals in the tent, and was silent for a moment, and asked the commander of the thousand men to comfort his subordinates, beware that the Song army cavalry attacked the camp while the night was sunken. Only Xiao Xiangsheng and the commander of the ten thousand men were left in the tent. Brother Tiemu said: "The Song people pretended to be in a vague way and led us here all the way, with ulterior motives. I think it would be better not to rush to fight with them. Although this battle is related to Your Majesty's plan, fighting Xiangyang and Ezhou will not be subject to risking the lives of these tens of thousands of warriors!"

"What?" As soon as Brother Tiemu finished speaking, Xiao Xiangsheng jumped up and pointed at him and said, "How dare you disobey the emperor's order?"

Brother Tiemu didn't look at him, and continued, "There is a saying in the Southern Dynasty that the king will not accept the orders. Your Majesty ordered us to attack the Song army all the way west. He originally thought that the Song army in Ezhou was a mob. But after these battles, you also know that these Song army were not flocks. They were not only brave, but also cunning, and could not be easily defeated." He said nothing, and did not deliberately have any power, but instead had a sense of persuasion.

Xiao Xiangsheng stared at Brother Tiemu and turned his eyes to Xiao Di Ge. Xiao Di Ge has been in the Western Expedition Army. After fighting this battle, I felt it was wrong, and I knew that Brother Tiemu was not a brave but unscheming person. He had his own foundation. Seeing Xiao Xiangsheng showing his eyes, he turned his eyes aside.

"This Xi Nu!" Xiao Xiangsheng said intimately, "In just a few months, he was conquered by the barbarians in the north. The Jurchen Jin Kingdom is the lesson of the past. The southerners are weak, and our Great Liao Kingdom originated from the north. What really needs to be careful about is these mixed Hus." Thinking of this, Xiao Xiangsheng's eyes turned cold, stood up suddenly, and said to the two of them: "Our army is expeditioning the west, attracting the Song army in Ezhou to come for a decisive battle. This is Your Majesty's will. Do you two dare to resist the order?"

"The emperor's will is not asking you to defeat the war! Let's retreat, not blindly retreat. We are mostly cavalry, let alone the Song people cannot catch up with their legs. Even if they dare to chase them, not every place is suitable for their artillery and formation. As long as they leave dozens of miles away, who is the prey and who is the hunter, they may have to turn it upside down! We attracted the Song army in Ezhou, and His Majesty's will has been completed by half. Now let's avoid it for the time being and do not touch the trap of the Song army. If they come to chase, we retreat to seek war. They want to retreat, but we stick to them.

Behind, if Your Majesty uses his strength, it may not be impossible to knock down Xiangyang and Ezhou in an instant!" Brother Tiemu said louder and louder. He stood up without hesitation, his eyes were like a knife, staring at Xiao Xiangsheng's eyes, and said coldly, "Are you a bear? Are you a leopard? The Song army clearly set up a trap for you to drill, and even the bear and leopard know how to dodge, but you have to dive in. It doesn't matter if you die, but you have to kill tens of thousands of warriors!" He glanced at the side, and Xiao Dienian also stood up, his lips opened, as if he wanted to persuade the fight, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

"You?" Xiao Xiangsheng couldn't help but be furious and shouted, "What a barbarian, how dare you scold me." He paused, swallowed the words "Beasts are worse than beasts" into his stomach, his lips trembled, and he kept saying, "Okay, okay, okay," he pointed at Brother Tiemu and Xiao Dienian, "You can wait for me." After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about it.

The tent door was wide open, dust and grass slicings blew in from outside the tent, Brother Tiemu's face turned pale, and Xiao Dienian shook his head: "Xiao Dutong is a descendant, and he has always been used to being smooth sailing. If he suffers a defeat, he is angry and angry. If this matter is to be in front of His Majesty, Lord Tiemu can stand."

Brother Tiemu nodded. The ten thousand men's commander Xiao Dienian vaguely restrained Brother Tiemu as if the Liao Dynasty sent this army to Mali. However, Xiao Xiangsheng's trouble, invisibly, Xiao Dienian and Brother Tiemu got closer.

Xiao Xiangsheng rushed back to the camp. When he said that the troops were withdrawing, his subordinates were indignant and shouted loudly to scold the generals of Zahu Fan. "Are they still not our Khitans?" The slave of the thousand-man Shi family pulled out the knife and shouted, "Master General Duke, I will go and chop the Zahu immediately!"

"Yes!" Subutai also shouted loudly, "Your Majesty lifted him a little, and this dog regarded himself as a human being!"

He cursed happily, and the generals laughed. Most of the Khitan generals of the Liao army on the Eastern Road were from the Marquis family in Shangjing. Although Yelu Dashi had promoted the de-sinization and returned to the Khitans since he ascended the throne, in the eyes of these people, the Khitans were different from those of the Mihu. During this Eastern Expedition, many Khitan nobles admired the prosperity of the southeastern capital of the Song Kingdom and rushed into the Eastern Expedition. Although these people were domineering, the governor Yelu Bijie was quite generous because of their bravery in the war. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiangsheng was still angry with a general of a Mihu. He suddenly seemed to pour ice water into the oil pan. The generals exploded and clamored to give Mihu some color.

The generals were filled with righteous indignation, which slightly calmed Xiao Xiangsheng's anger. It was effective to win over these brothers from Shangjing. In the noisy and noisy, many people pulled out their knives. Some said they wanted to ask their subordinates to reason with Tiemu Ge, and some said they wanted to go back to Hangzhou to find Yelu Bijie to seek justice.

"Slow down!" Xiao Xiangsheng's face was slightly cold, and he raised his right hand to stop him, "That macaque is very cunning, and he is in the name of commanding the army. Maybe he is waiting for us to do everything!" The generals looked at each other, and the Shi family slave shouted, "Can you just forget it?"

"Hmph," Xiao Xiangsheng sneered twice and said to the generals, "We Khitan men, we can't let Zahu see a joke."

"What should I do?"

Xiao Xiangsheng shook his head and suddenly asked, "Everyone attacked the cannon base and fought with the Song people for a long time. What do you think of the Song army's weakness?"

The generals looked at each other. They all fought with the Song army, but when they recalled it carefully, the daytime battle was indeed a bit strange. Su Butai said with a thoughtful look: "The soldiers and horses in the formation were well-trained elites in the Southern Dynasty, but the guards of artillery were ordinary. If the defender was not brave and there was another powerful cavalry inside, we would have been captured long ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone slammed the boxing and said, "Yes!" Shi family slaves also said angrily: "If it weren't for the constant bombardment of artillery, twice the number of Song Zhu would not be enough." In this battle in the day, he was really angry. If the opponent was a camp in Hebei, it would be easy to say that the elite soldiers in Hedong camp were in Hedong camp, but it was actually a group of soldiers from the southeastern prefectures and counties. If it were usual, hundreds of cavalry could drive away tens of thousands. Therefore, after Xiao Xiangsheng's reminder, the generals beat their chests and stamped their feet, feeling that they lost a lot during the day.

"That's true." Xiao Xiangsheng sneered, "The Song army guarding the artillery building is ordinary, but there are three powerful weapons. The first is the powerful artillery fire, the second is the skilled dispatch of the generals, and the third is the powerful cavalry. But at night, all these three things lost their power. The artillery fire was not accurate and the darkness was dark. We could not dispatch soldiers and cavalry as calmly as during the day, hehe," he sneered, "There is only a few of them, and it is not enough for us Khitans to get stuck in our teeth."

"My sir means," Subutai said, "Night attack?"

"Yes!" Xiao Xiangsheng nodded vigorously, "The Song army had just won a big victory, and these mobs were most likely to relax their guards. We took the night to kill and stomp his artillery battalion, destroying the artillery. The terrain here is wide, but there are only some hills. Without the help of artillery, I want to see what they are fighting with us during the day!"

As the generals listened, their faces changed from hesitation to excitement. Some looked stern, some looked shimmering in their eyes, and some gritted their teeth fiercely.

"Brother Tiemu, dares to put the charge of sending troops without authorization on my head," Xiao Xiangsheng sneered, "This time we will do our best to attack the Song army's artillery and win the victory alone. In the future, I will meet His Majesty and Lord Beiyuan again to cure his cowardice and fear of war!" He looked around the generals and asked, "Will you go to this great achievement?"

The generals looked at each other, and in a flash, everyone woke up and agreed loudly, "Go, why don't you go!" "Yes! Destroy Song Zhu's cannon!" "Follow Lord Xiao!" "Make great achievements, see if that maid has any face to instruct us!"
