The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1667 Talking about cooperation

"I said earlier that these people will not really follow me in Daliao. If we have been strong, they will never dare to say anything else, but now they will not be with us."

Ye Luxian was lying on the soft couch and watching the battle report from below. Their coalition army was defeated, which seemed to have been expected by Ye Luxian, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.

"Since Your Majesty knows this, why do you still agree to the proposal of my concubine? How much strength we lost all at once."

Xiao Chuo wanted to know that since Ye Luxian knew they were unreliable, why did he use them? This time the Liao Kingdom suffered a lot, and it was his own fault.

"This is the role of cannon fodder. I want all the Song soldiers to be buried in Tanzhou. Tanzhou cannot be left in the hands of the Song soldiers, otherwise our house will never be so peaceful."

Although Ye Luxian's face was full of sickness, he was still so domineering. This is not pretending. Is there anything else he can't do? Zhao Xu doesn't know this time.

"Your Highness, the leaders of several tribes on the grassland have requested to see you. How can you arrange it?" Zhao Xu was looking at the current situation map when Gao Qiong came in. The leaders of several small tribes in the Liao Kingdom asked to see their own. , This is a secret meeting.

"They finally came, so let's arrange them to wait in the side tent, and I will meet them there. Don't think that these people are not very good in Liao Kingdom, but they can help us at critical times. Alright, I'll go and come."

Among the few tribal leaders who came was Wanyan Bahai's father, old Wanyan, who smiled when he saw Zhao Xu.

"I have met His Highness, and we are all very familiar with His name, but this is the first time we have met. It is really lucky for three lives."

"Is Chief Wanyan's Chinese good? Our idioms can be used. It seems that Chief Wanyan has put his heart into learning our language."

Zhao Xu said with a smile, this old guy is very cunning, he was the one who contacted Zhao Xu first, and he asked to contact Da Song ten years ago.

When they attacked Gao Huaide a few days ago, it was just a show, and their Wanyan Department didn't lose many people at all.

"For this meeting with His Highness, I have been preparing for many years. These are the tribes that my brother and I have made friends with. Let me introduce you."

Old Wanyan introduced these people to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu had never heard of these small tribes, but after Lao Wanyan introduced Zhao Xu, he realized that these people are really not simple. These are the emperors of the Liao Dynasty. The key targets to be guarded against, so Zhao Xu also attached great importance to these people.

"Good battle, everyone. The leaders understand the righteousness and let the Khitan defeat. Thank you, Your Highness." Zhao Xu thanked them sincerely. These people really helped the Song Army on the battlefield. Otherwise, Gao Huaide would be really troublesome. .

When Lao Wanyan got in touch with Song Jun, he told Zhao Xu that they didn't want to be an enemy of Song Dynasty, but they had to obey the emperor's will. After all, they couldn't fight against Liao now.

In the end, I discussed with them, that is, to actually go to the battlefield, but pretend to fight, there are still more people from the Liao Kingdom in the coalition forces, in order to prevent the coalition forces from disobeying the orders of the Liao Kingdom.

During the attack, these leaders were all in the lead, and they seemed to be trying their best, but in the end when they attacked the city, if you were careful, you would find that everything was fake, those who rushed to the front It was still the Khitans and the Koreans, and they were the ones who died the most, while the casualties of the other result tribes were very few.

This is not over yet, when Gao Huaide attacked, these tribes gave it convenience, Gao Huaide also won a complete victory, these people are all "heroes"!
"Your Highness, this has nothing to do with us. These are the troops of the Song Dynasty who are brave and good at fighting. The Khitan people are not your opponents. It's just that we haven't hurt anyone. I think you understand this."

"That's right, Patriarch Wanyan said a lot. We only want to survive for our own tribe, and we don't mean to be enemies with Khitan." Several other patriarchs also echoed. They don't know whether it is the victory of the Song Dynasty or the victory of the Liao Kingdom. , they must be prepared with both hands, otherwise everything will be over.

"Okay, all the leaders, don't talk too much. I understand your contribution. I don't know what's going on with you guys here today. I'm all ears."

Zhao Xu looked at them with a smile. They didn't say what was going on, so Zhao Xu asked.

One of them, whose head was messed up, and the others looked at each other and nodded: "We are all headed by Patriarch Wanyan, so let's ask the Patriarch of the Banquet to speak for us."

"Yes, let's tell Patriarch Rang Wanyan." The few of them looked forward to the old Wanyan.

"Since there are no outsiders here, I'll just say it directly. Your Highness, we can see that the Song Dynasty has been in a long-term confrontation with the Liao Kingdom. It has reached the point where either you die or I die."

"So what? I, the Central Plains, and Khitan are feuds. What does this have to do with the patriarchs?" Zhao Xu asked them to make a condition first.

"To tell you the truth, we are all nomads. All we need is a piece of fertile grassland. In the past, everyone lived in peace, but when the Khitan rose strongly, we were constantly oppressed by them. All our high-quality resources are available. We are not reconciled to being taken over by them."

Old Wanyan said viciously, they were really oppressed by Khitan, they had no ambition to fight for hegemony, besides, their strength was not enough, and their population was not enough, but they really wanted freedom, and they needed Khitan to be free Confrontation, can they confront Khitan? The answer is no.

"What does Patriarch Wanyan mean?"

"Your Highness, do you really not understand such a simple matter? We hope to cooperate with Da Song. You are in the front and we are in the rear. In this way, Khitan must not be able to look at each other from head to toe, and Khitan must not last too long."

"By the way, we also want to send you an important news, that is, Khitan wants to destroy Tanzhou City in one fell swoop, leaving no chickens or dogs behind. These were arranged by them long ago. Otherwise, when you see Tanzhou, you will see it again. Food and grass? It’s not a problem. You are still in danger in Tanzhou. It won’t take long for you to find that you are surrounded by groups of people. At that time, you will be unable to escape. I think this news is enough to prove the sincerity of our cooperation. .”

Lao Wanyan directly gave Zhao Xu a big news that they were going to fight the Song Army in the final battle in Tanzhou City. You must know that there are about 10,000+ troops in the city. If they were really besieged, Song would definitely The vitality is seriously injured, the wall of Tanzhou is not high, and the city is not strong. The 10,000+ army is surrounded and is likely to be eaten.
