After hesitating for a long time, Yang Zongbao hesitated and said:
"The decree given to me by the imperial court is only to assist Uncle Zhongjing and ensure your safety."
"If we take the initiative to attack Xixia, I'm afraid it will go against the court's original intention..."
Yang Zongbao's title is first-class uncle, which is one level higher than Cao Bin, and his official rank and dispatch are not comparable to Cao Bin's.
If he doesn't want to cooperate, there is nothing Cao Bin can do.
Zhang Dun was a little anxious and angrily said:
"According to Uncle Cao's calculations, Yuan Hao is bound to die."
"But why did Uncle Cao risk his life to lure the enemy?"
"Why not take the opportunity to weaken Xixia and think about our Song Dynasty?"
As he spoke, he became even more angry and said:
"It's just that the princes in the court don't want to cause trouble. I didn't expect that even the border generals didn't have any blood and only wanted to protect themselves."
"If you don't take advantage of the opponent's weakness to attack, do you have to wait for Xixia to recover and kill my Song soldiers and civilians?"
"If this kind of thing really happens, how can the general bear it..."
Before he could finish speaking, the general behind Yang Zongbao had already given up, grabbed Zhang Dun by the collar and shouted angrily:
"My general is talking to Uncle Zhongjing, how dare you, a small official, teach my general a lesson?"
That officer had a dark face, an unkempt beard, and eyes as big as copper bells, as if they were menacing.
Zhang Dun saw him looking like a cannibal, but he showed no fear. His face was calm and he said:
"Although Zhang's official position is not high, he also knows the interests and losses of the country. How can he not say that he is your general?"
"You're going to kill a warrior, don't be rude and rude in front of someone, let go!"
Although he had entered the court not long ago, he was quite powerful when he was serious. The black-faced military commander had the illusion that he was facing a big boss in the court, and he was immediately restrained.
"Forehead......"
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Yang Zongbao glanced at Zhang Dun strangely, shook his head and said:
"Brother Jiao, let go."
As he spoke, he smiled bitterly, nodded to Cao Bin and said:
"What this gentleman said is not unreasonable. In this case, Yang will defy the imperial court!"
Hearing what he said, Sister Yang suddenly became happy and said:
"Okay, I'm itching unbearably, and now I finally have a chance to fight with the Xixia barbarian."
Although she was Yang Zongbao's elder, it was Yang Zongbao who made the decision in the Yang family. It was hard for her to say anything until he made a decision.
Yang Zongbao looked at Sister Yang who was in a happy mood and shook his head helplessly.
He is the male of the Yang family. He must consider things carefully and make decisions easily, but he must also worry about the consequences of disobeying the court.
However, since he had decided to take action against Xixia, he did not hesitate and immediately asked Cao Bin about Yuan Hao's information.
After careful deliberation, they planned to make a quick decision and take advantage of Yuan Hao's unpreparedness to directly push through with more enemies and fewer enemies.
Although they can also take advantage of the information gap and continue to wear down the enemy until Yuan Hao is exhausted before taking action.
But that would take too long and involve too many variables.
A few hundred meters outside the Calabash Valley, Yuan Hao was resting on a simple camp bed.
The excited energy and weak physical strength in his body made him feel very contradictory and extremely irritable.
At this moment, the sergeant suddenly came to report:
"My lord, there is movement in the Calabash Valley, as if a large group of people are mobilizing."
Yuan Hao quickly stood up, ran up to the horse beside the bed, gripped his scimitar and shouted: "The whole team is facing the enemy!"
More than 6,000 cavalrymen quickly formed a team and stared closely at the entrance of the Calabash Valley.
At this moment, several rows of huge rebel horses were seen being slowly pushed out of the valley entrance by the Song Dynasty sergeants.
Behind the Juma were heavy infantry armed with spears and axes and wearing heavy armor. There were more than a thousand of these elite heavy infantry, and they were the main force for fighting against cavalry.
The people following Yuan Hao at this time were mainly the Iron Kites and the Proton Army who were not wearing heavy armor.
Because they were chasing too fast, and in order to maintain speed and horsepower, they did not have all the equipment. At this time, facing Song's heavy steps at the border, their faces were a little ugly.
The general of the Ye Ni family quickly asked: "Master, how should we deal with the enemy?"
At this time, Cao Bin, Yang Zongbao and others appeared behind Juma. He laughed and said:
"Thank you very much for the Lord Xixia's mercy. He actually let us go and allowed us to wait safely until the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty arrived."
"This is the opportunity to lead an army of 30,000 to fight head-on with the Xixia ruler..."
Hearing this, all the Xixia generals looked at Yuan Hao with doubts on their faces.
Yuan Hao's eyes were gloomy and his heart was boiling with anger, but he immediately calmed down and shouted coldly:
"Don't listen to his nonsense. The Song people are treacherous. He just wants to disturb the morale of our military."
"Don't fight them yet. Once they are completely out of the valley, I will lead you to attack them from the flanks."
Yang Zongbao looked at Cao Bin and shook his head secretly:
Cao Bin's method of motivating generals may be effective when used on ordinary generals, but when used on a battle-hardened hero like Yuan Hao, it seems immature.
At this moment, Cao Bin suddenly turned around, hugged Mui Yimeng who was next to Mui Yishan, and laughed loudly:
"Your Majesty, do you know this person? Thank you so much for your generosity, Your Majesty, for sending me such a beautiful woman as Princess Wuyi."
When they saw Cao Bin holding his daughter in front of him, his movements were frivolous, he felt extremely reluctant and felt aggrieved.
I just asked myself to take my daughter with me, so I shouldn't have agreed.
When Sister Yang saw this, she looked disgusted, sighed and said to herself:
"Why is it such a dirty idea again? It's really..."
She admitted that Cao Bin had a lot of ideas and could always come up with some unexpected solutions, but she found that most of these ideas were a bit unreasonable and left people speechless.
Seeing this, Yang Zongbao shook his head helplessly and persuaded:
"Uncle Zhongjing, although your... may have some effect, it won't have much effect on Yuan Hao."
"Besides, doing this will damage the reputation of your Cao family, so let's forget it!"
Cao Bin didn't care, and continued to shout: "Master, my incense caused you to be injured by the prince. I'm sorry..."
"The person who conspired with Brother Ning Ling is actually you, the thief?"
Hearing this, Yuan Hao couldn't bear it any longer, and the scars on his face suddenly turned as red as blood.
