The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 512
Zhao Gou used "counter-indirect tactics" to escalate the conflict between Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Dynasty and Xiao Puda. Xiao Pu called for reinforcements, but several days passed and still did not get any response.It wasn't until Emperor Tianzuo's decree came that Xiao Puta discovered the truth of the matter.

It's just that the truth is a bit cruel, but it's helpless.At this moment, it was useless for Xiao Pu to try to say anything, and he also gave up the opportunity to continue arguing, and he was arrested without any resistance.Even though the Jinyang Army was resentful, Xiao Puda still ordered the army to guard Jinshan County, so as not to give the Song Army an opportunity.

"The decree is that General Xiao is an extremely talented minister today, but he doesn't want to think about it for me. The battle on the front line is tight, and he is already too busy to take care of himself. How to send troops? I also heard that General Xiao and the commander-in-chief of the Song Army are talking and drinking like brothers. How do you think about it? "

"Where is my face? You are deeply favored by the emperor, but you don't want to be loyal to the country, but you want to defect to the Song Dynasty. This is a crime of treason and immorality, and the nine clans should be killed. However, God has the virtue of good life. You are killing innocent people indiscriminately. As the commander-in-chief of the Jinyang Army, you have neglected your duty and tried to betray Daliao, so I give you self-judgment and apology!"

Xiao Pu bowed without changing his face and said: "I accept the order!"

"General Xiao, this is sent by the emperor's special villain. I must be familiar with the general!" The eunuch asked his entourage to present a sharp sword. This sword was once used by Xiao Puda, and it was also a gift from Emperor Tianzuo. The sword that was taken back later was also the sword Xiao Pu used to kill himself.

"Marshal, absolutely not!" All the soldiers shouted loudly, and some even confronted the envoys sent by Shangjing, and almost got into a fight with them.Now all they need is an order from Xiao Pu, and they can forget everything, and they must all stay in Jinshan County.

"Stop all of you!" Xiao Pu scolded angrily, "How decent is this? Where is the reputation, have you forgotten that I am still a handsome man?"

"Marshal!" Everyone turned to look at Xiao Pu's beating, they were very angry in their hearts, all this was because Xiao Pu's beating was not worth it.

Xiao Pu spent half his life in the army and made great military exploits.Even the Song Army's tens of thousands of troops were tied with them, and the two sides could not take advantage of it.However, Xiao Puda, as Liao commander in chief, did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of his own people. This made the generals very sad and angry, and they wished to turn back immediately.

Xiao Puda said again in a deep voice: "You all stop, Jinshan still needs you to guard, and don't give the enemy any chance. In addition, as the general of the brothers, I will issue the last military order, and I will not allow any envoys to do anything. No disrespect, you have to take good care of the local people."

Then, Xiao Pu let Xiao Zhengming enter the tent with him, he saw the special envoy coming, and he guessed the purpose, and his cousin could not escape the disaster.Although the imperial decree didn't say it clearly, Emperor Tianzuo must have sent a secret decree, otherwise, when they looked at Xiao Zhengming, they would have the same eyes, as if they and others were dead.

"Zhengming, it looks like we are doomed!"

Xiao Zhengming said angrily: "Brother, do you really obey the emperor's will?"

"It must be obeyed!" Xiao Pu replied loudly, "If there is any disrespect, not only the reputation of you and my brother, but also the reputation of our ancestors and others will be ruined. Besides, today we two brothers Being given to die together, there must be something tricky in it."

"Could it be the commander of the Song Army?" Xiao Zhengming thought for a while, and this was the only answer he had.

Xiao Pu nodded, and said: "The commander of the Song army is really talented. He is the most resourceful in my battles over the years. I thought I could continue the battle, but I am afraid that there will be no chance. If my prediction is correct, this It's about them."

"Despicable and shameless!" As a general, he was supposed to decide the winner on the battlefield, but he actually used such a method, which made Xiao Zhengming very sad and indignant.

"It's because their plan succeeded, and it can be said that I was defeated by him!" Xiao Pu said with a slight smile, "War is so cruel. The spies have all been eliminated."

"It can be said that it is useless to think about it but can't realize it! However, they did it, and I admire it very much! In fact, the emperor has always been suspicious of me, and I know this better than anyone else. It's just that I rarely take it to heart I didn't expect this suspicion to be magnified infinitely, and I can only bear the consequences myself."

"If I die, if something happens, you have to remember to hide it as soon as possible and don't show up. Remember, the incense of the Xiao family depends on you to continue. If you don't do it, I can't even die. Close your eyes, so you must agree to me, and you must live a good life."

"Brother, this..." Xiao Zhengming said eagerly.

Xiao Pu exhorted and said: "No one has died in life since ancient times. It's just a pity that he didn't die on the battlefield, but died in a conspiracy. What a pity!...Okay, you can go out , you will leave quickly later, don’t have anything to do.”

Xiao Zhengming wanted to say something, but was kicked out by Xiao Pu. His mind was full of past events, and then he drew his sword and killed himself.At that time, Xiao Zhengming had already turned around and left, but he did not escape. After he got out of the tent, he was immediately caught by the guards, and then he and Xiao Pu went on the road together.

"You won, I lost!"

This was what Xiao Pu thought in his mind at the end, he was really not reconciled.But from another point of view, he is very happy that the war has finally subsided.Perhaps death is also a kind of relief for him, and it is much better than sitting on pins and needles.

"Big guy!"

After Xiao Puda's body was carried out, all the generals outside the camp knelt down on their knees and respectfully sent Xiao Puda away. Some cried until their eyes were red, while others held back.After the news of Xiao Puda's death spread, the Song army had already started a massive attack without showing any mercy.

At the same time, Zhao Gou personally led the army to attack and lost Xiao Pu's combat command. No matter who was in charge of the Jinyang Army, he could not do it smoothly. Not only the footsteps were chaotic, but the formation was also chaotic. Jinshan County was captured by the Song army.

The mainstay of the Liao army was Xiao Pu, without the commander-in-chief, the Liao army did not have a good formation to attack and meet the enemy, and some of them were just teammates who died in battle and fell in a pool of blood.Finally, Zhao Gou ordered them to surrender and give up resistance.

Sure enough, Xiao Pu's death ignited their anger, and after the siege led by Zhao Gou, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. The general was said to have disobedience, which left everyone speechless, and even more helpless.
