The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 509

"I didn't expect him to be one step ahead!" Zhao Gou looked at the battle post in his hand and smiled teasingly, which was what he meant.

Ever since he learned about Xiao Pu's fight, Zhao Gou wanted to meet him.Moreover, Xiao Pu's courage to attack the Song camp at night is commendable, and he was able to retreat completely, and injured less than a thousand soldiers of the Song army, and even seriously injured Li Kui. This feat also made him admire.

At the same time, Xiao Puda also wanted to meet Zhao Gou.As long as Zhao Gou personally participated in the battle, he had never been defeated. In the battle against Daliao, he won one after another, and the Liao army could only lose with its tail between its legs, unable to stop Zhao Gou's pace.

Xiao Pu used [-] soldiers, but he didn't use up enough. He only needed [-] troops to make the Song army suffer a big loss, and what Xiao Pu said when Wang Gui and others retreated. Zhao Gou understood these things. The purpose is to lead himself out, that is to say, he has detected that he is not in the camp.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gou immediately contacted the spies of the Liao army who were familiar with the terrain. It was so easy to figure out the movements of himself and others. They made full use of their innate advantages, which made the Song army somewhat passive.If you want to turn the situation around, you have to make it impossible for the spies to detect the situation.

Then, Zhao Gou sent an order to expand the range of patrolling soldiers to three miles, in groups of two and two, with 50 people in each group, and then let the army disperse and garrison, but the camp of the commander-in-chief was in the center, that is, directly facing Jinshan. county.

It can be said that although Zhao Gou's move was a bit risky, the effect was very significant.Sure enough, the Liao spies could only retreat three miles away to investigate, but other news about the army was unknown.Because if you get a little closer, you will startle the soldiers everywhere, and in the end, the gain will outweigh the loss.

"This commander of the Song Army is really not to be underestimated!" Xiao Pu was slightly taken aback when he heard the spies' report, and then smiled.This is not a mocking smile, but a sincere laughter, because he met his opponent, a real general meets a good talent, and meets his opponent, that is an indescribable joy.

"General, what should we do next?"

Xiao Pu laughed and said: "Since they have already thought of countermeasures, we can only let nature take its course and respond to all changes without change. The Song Army expanded the patrol area, which means they already know that our army's spies are nearby. If we continue to explore further, it is bound to attract the attention of the Song army, and the gain outweighs the loss."

"The current strategy is to let nature take its course, and don't disturb the Song army for the time being. In addition, you pass on the order to cheer up the spies. We can't detect the situation of the Song army, so it is impossible for the Song army to know the situation of our army. , everything can only depend on their own abilities.”

"By the way, tomorrow I will meet the commander-in-chief of the Song Army at Shilipo. You can go with me when the time comes. The others will stay in the city and don't go out easily."

"General, what should we do if the Song army turns back on our promises?" Xiao Pu was a little worried when beating his generals. Song people had already done a lot of treachery, so they were worried. What to do.

Xiao Pu calmly smiled, and replied firmly: "If it was someone else, maybe he would, but Zhao Gou wouldn't!"

"Why?" Everyone was stunned, they didn't understand where Xiao Pu got his confidence, they felt that the people of Song Dynasty would not backtrack on what they said.

"Because I am like this, then the opponent I admire will not be a sinister villain." Xiao Pu smiled confidently. He claimed that he was not a gentleman, but he would not send troops to encircle and suppress at this time, let alone It's not his intention to use some cunning method to win.

In the camp of the Song Army, the same situation was encountered. Everyone also suspected that there was a conspiracy in the meeting tomorrow, and Zhao Gou's answer was somewhat similar to that of Xiao Puta. He smiled and said: "He is not the kind of treacherous little boy People, as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyang Army, it is not enough to rely on military ability alone, but also to have a noble character, this is what I feel about him."

Then, it was hard for everyone to say anything, they could only obey Zhao Gou's order, Zhao Yougong also wanted to go with him, and went out with him tomorrow.Because it was agreed in the battle post that only the two of them meet, and they can also lead troops there, but they cannot fight, they just talk to each other, which can also be said to be a kind of negotiation.

The next day, both Zhao Gou and Xiao Puda set off from their camps!

As for Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others guarding the base camp to prevent the enemy from attacking, Yue Fei, Lin Chong and others led an army of 5000 people to follow them all the way.As for the Liao army, the situation is the same. They are not at ease when the commanders of the two armies meet, and if there are any problems, they cannot bear the responsibility.

Zhao Gou and Xiao Puda met each other on horseback at Shilipo. There was no tension between the two of them, as if they were long-lost friends. They smiled at each other and dismounted one after another. They thought it was about to start a fight, but unexpectedly they were sitting on the ground, and the two of them looked up to the sky and laughed.

"What's the situation?" Suddenly, everyone was confused!

The lieutenant general who followed Xiao Puda was also his cousin, and also a general who was good at fighting. He and Zhao Yougong stared straight at their eyes, unable to utter a word for a long time.After all, such a situation is really rare in my life.

The two belong to different camps, so it can be said that they are life-and-death hostile identities, why seeing this situation now, they all feel that Zhao Gou and Xiao Pu are not enemies, but more like friends, or that kind of confidantes It seems that this confuses everyone, unable to understand what is going on.

"I didn't expect the well-known Song Army Marshal to be so young. He really is young and promising, and a hero is a boy!" Xiao Puda was stunned when he saw Zhao Gou for the first time. He didn't expect Zhao Gou to be so young. The rumored head coach of the Song Army was actually much younger than himself, which made him a little dumbfounded, but he admired him deeply.

Zhao Gou also smiled and said: "General Xiao is not bad. It is the first time that our army has been damaged, and you can still retreat. You can be regarded as the first. However, General Xiao is getting stronger and stronger, and the more he fights, the braver he is. Jiang is still old !"

Xiao Pu laughed loudly and said: "Jiang is still old and spicy, what you said is true!"

Xiao Pu didn't get angry or annoyed when he beat him, but accepted it gladly.Because he could tell that this was Zhao Gou's compliment.Because Zhao Gou knew at first glance that Xiao Puda was over thirty years old and was about to enter his forties, so he could be said to be a real veteran in the battlefield.

Then, Zhao Gou and Xiao Pu ordered to go down and let them bring the things up.What Zhao Yougong brought was a jug of fine wine, while Xiao Zhengming brought a jug of kumiss.Moreover, Zhao Yougong and Xiao Zhengming also sat down together.

"This is the fine wine of our dynasty, it is the fine wine bestowed by the emperor, can General Xiao taste it!"

Xiao Pu laughed and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey orders! It just so happens that I also have good wine from the emperor here, but we Liao people only drink kumiss. I wonder if the commander-in-chief can taste it?"

Zhao Gou readily agreed, and the two of them exchanged all the fine wines with each other, and Zhao Yougong and Xiao Zhengming also joined in.Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong drank kumiss, while Xiao Puta and Xiao Zhengming drank imperial wine.This is the idea of ​​the two of them by coincidence, there is no discussion at all, but it seems to be a discussion in the eyes of everyone, and they both bring wine, like a happy gathering, and talk about wine directly on the battlefield, it is really strange Strange too!
