King of Song

Chapter 358 Chapter Thirty-Sixty
Looking at Liang Yibu's arrogance and Li Fugui's complacency, Chen Qiao felt deeply worried.

Is Wang Shao really just an embroidered pillow, vulnerable?

Chen Qiao couldn't help shaking his head slightly, how could some things be so simple?Li Fugui was defeated by Wang Shao, apart from carelessness, is there no other objective reason?If it is not an ordinary person who can easily deceive Li Fugui, can the emperor of Bianjing let him handle this matter with confidence?
A scholar can be entrusted with important tasks, in fact, it can explain some problems.It's just that Li Fugui may not be convinced, or it may be to save face, there are some things he is unwilling to admit.

Not acknowledging it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, at least Chen Qiao feels deeply.If he hadn't been in charge of Qingzhou for the first time, things were complicated and difficult to take care of, how could he have the chance to rescue Li Fugui?It was a fluke to be able to save someone from Wang Shao's men.Just looking at Wang Shao's method of controlling Gyeongju, it can be seen that this person is very capable.

But Liang Yibu and Li Fugui didn't know whether they turned a blind eye or avoided them deliberately, they would not take it seriously, and remained arrogant.

The reinforcements were ambushed halfway?Is it because Wang Shao is incompetent or careless?
No way!

For a long time, he never sent reinforcements, and what he was worried about was the Xixia ambush.Why did the reinforcements come out as soon as Dashun City let off smoke?
The smoke of the war rose into the sky, and the people of Xixia could also see it, and they also knew that Dashun City was asking for help. This is the time to be careful in ambush.But Wang Shao didn't take it seriously at all, and openly sent reinforcements, but was ambushed, and the casualties were not small!
This is completely different from Wang Shao's usual style of acting. Could it be that he just wanted to put on a pose?It doesn't seem to be the case!Chen Qiao felt that there was still a lot of fog in the situation of Dashun City and Gyeongju, and there were many things that he could not see through at present.

But at least it is definitely not as simple as it is now, some people are doomed to suffer if they are careless!
Maybe there are not so many conflicts of interest, not so much hatred, as a relative outsider, Chen Qiao is more clear to the bystanders.However, he didn't intend to persuade Liang Yibu. If it was Li Fugui back then, he would have obeyed his advice. Persuasion is useful.

But today's Liang Yibu is the prime minister of the Xixia Kingdom, with a high status, and he is just a servant of a prisoner, so he can't speak at all.What's more, Liang Yi is buried in his head, and he is getting carried away with complacency. Whoever pours cold water on his head at this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat and walk away!

Chen Qiao is not stupid, what does the Xixia people's failure or success have to do with him?On the contrary, it is a good thing for oneself to lose consecutive battles.The more chaotic the Dashun City is now, the better, so I can fish in troubled waters.

Maybe the time of this chaos is not short, it is time to prepare and leave this damn place.Go to the Western Regions where there are no disputes and live a stable life.He has had enough of this kind of intrigue and fear.

Chen Qiao didn't intend to call Li Fugui at first, and wanted to run away alone, but when he got there, he remembered that at least he was a master and servant. Li Fugui was kind to him, and he had feelings for him, so he should be reminded at the end.

"General, while Liang Yibu's attention is on Dashun City and Lin Zhao, shall we consider leaving?" On the way back, Chen Qiao lowered his voice and came alone with Li Fugui.

Li Fugui's expression changed when he heard it, and there was a short pause.According to the countermeasures they discussed before, it is time to leave Xixia and go to the Western Regions, but...

But the Western Regions are just a legendary place. Since the Tang Dynasty, people in the Song Dynasty seldom went directly to it.All my understanding is only from ancient books and the introduction of merchants. I heard that there is thousands of miles of yellow sand, the barren Gobi...

Thinking of these, Li Fugui involuntarily retreated a little.Perhaps the days of ease have passed too long, he has lost his only adventurous spirit, and is full of worries and even fears about the unknown life!

"Chen Qiao, Liang Guoxiang is using me right now. If he leaves rashly, he will find out and we won't be able to leave." Li Fugui seemed to be full of worries, and he paused for a moment and continued: "Besides, the fall of Dashun City is just a matter of time." It's a matter of time, if you can see your enemy being crowned with your own eyes, it would be the best."

Chen Qiao knew Li Fugui too well, waiting for the city to be broken and Lin Zhao killed was due to hatred.But will Dashun City be breached?This seems to be an unknown, maybe it is a flower in the mirror, or the moon in the water!As for Liang Yibu, perhaps because he needed to use it for a while, Li Fugui was a little complacent, and seemed to have a new feeling for life in Xixia, and began to have some nostalgia and longing for it.

But regardless of whether Liang Yi won or lost the battle when he was buried under the city of Dashun, Li Fugui would be useless anymore. It is a problem for a useless person to save his life.Staying in Xixia will probably lead to a dead end. You must know that Li Fugui framed the reputation of the Empress Dowager Liang.

Hearing such an answer, Chen Qiao already knew it by heart.Forget it, since you don't want to leave, I'll just figure out a way myself, let's all live in peace!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Xixia people thought that Dashun City had run out of arrows and fire oil, so they boldly attacked.

Unexpectedly, they were attacking fiercely, and when they were about to occupy the top of the city, feather arrows fell from the sky again.The kerosene was poured on the ladder again, and then the raging fire ignited at the top of the city like fire dragons.

Liang Yibu was very angry when he learned of this situation. Are the Song Dynasty people playing a conspiracy?But the more this is the case, the more it means that there are not many weapons left, and it is just a posturing, so the attack is even crazier and intensified!

But the facts seem to tell Liang Yibu that your judgment is wrong!

Every time, when the Xixia army approached and just made a breakthrough, kerosene and feather arrows would come from the sky.

After doing this several times in a row, the Xixia army was a little scared.Obviously, Song Jun's weapons are still sufficient?Such a rush is completely the rhythm of death!

As a result, the Xixia army was inevitably a little afraid, and even stopped moving forward. As a result, the offensive was naturally much weaker.

It turned out that Lin Zhao came up with this idea when he saw that the kerosene and feather arrows were about to be used up.Keep the last part of the feather arrows, deliberately pretending to be short of weapons, to attract the frenzied attack of the Xixia people.Giving them a head-on blow at a critical moment, although it is very short, can cause them great casualties.

Especially after repeating this several times, it was a huge blow to their morale.Although the effect is not very obvious, it also makes the Xixia people suffer a little, and it can delay some time.

Of course, Liang Yibu was completely enraged because of this incident, and his crazy revenge was about to start.Dashun City's defense capabilities are very limited, and it won't last long. The only hope is Wang Shao who doesn't know where he is!
