Hearing Taijun She's words, Sister Yang's eyes suddenly lit up and she said:
"Mom, can Cao Bin really be called a famous general? How about better than Zongbao?"
Mu Guiying rolled her eyes and smiled:
"He is a famous general in the world, but Zongbao is not as good as him!"
Sister Yang looked at Cao Bin carefully, nodded and said:
"I also think he's pretty awesome."
Cao Bin looked at Taijun She and then at Mu Guiying, always feeling that she was uneasy and well-intentioned.
My own superficial performance can only frighten a simple-minded person like Sister Yang.
Mu Guiying was born with a delicate heart with seven orifices, and she would not just look at the surface.
Cao Bin is still somewhat self-aware.
He didn't even dare to lead the army alone. Along the way, all military affairs were handled by Zhong Shiheng and his son.
The most he can do is come up with a strange plan, and he doesn't even understand the art of war that he has learned in the military books. How can he be called a famous general?
What's more, Xixia's cooperation played a decisive role in the success of this strategy.
As far as his ability is concerned, the most he can do is convince Xixia not to hide the Queen Mother.
Moreover, he has never thought about becoming a famous general. His biggest ideal is to be a high official, make a lot of money, have concubines, and keep his wealth and glory.
If he had spare power to help the Song Dynasty conquer the surrounding barbarians, he would be happy to do so.
In the future, when I die, I will be satisfied if I write on my tombstone "The grave of the former Xiaoyao Gong Caohou".
Therefore, he considers himself a simple and innocent person.
At this moment, Taijun She suddenly exclaimed:
"Huh? Xiao Puta is indeed a veteran, he is so decisive!"
After everyone heard this, they also looked towards the canyon.
Xiao Puta actually gave up on joining the rear army and launched a suicide charge directly towards the mouth of the valley.
In fact, what Wu Zang said was not completely unreasonable. This canyon was not a dead place because it was not long and narrow enough.
It is very difficult to trap tens of thousands of troops, and blocking the entrance of the valley also requires a large number of troops.
If it were to fight to the death, although Xiao Puta could be completely annihilated, the Song army itself would suffer considerable losses.
There are not many places suitable for ambush, so it would be good to find such a roughly suitable canyon.
Cao Bin said:
"Let the soldiers find a way to survive, and we will chase them after them."
The victory or defeat has been decided. Even if Xiao Puta escapes, it will be difficult to reverse the situation of the battle. There is no need to increase the casualties of the soldiers in order to achieve the effect of total annihilation.
After hearing this, everyone in the Yang family nodded in agreement, feeling that Cao Bin's order was quite satisfactory.
Ten thousand people are overwhelming, let alone tens of thousands of horses and horses?
Even if the ambush was successful, it still took Cao Bin and others a full half of a day to end the war.
Only more than 10,000 of the 70,000 Liao troops fled, and the rest were all killed or captured.
When Xiao Puta ran back to his home camp, his helmet was crooked, he was in a state of embarrassment, and his intestines were green with regret.
Unexpectedly, I was even more careful and ended up falling into the enemy's trap.
"Xi Xia, there is nothing wrong with you!"
After drinking a large cup of strong tea, he breathed a sigh of relief before remembering something.
A large part of the reason why he fell into the trap was that he misestimated the strength of the Song army.
How did they hide themselves?
Until now, he has not figured out how many troops the Song Army still has.
It must be the cooperation of the Xixia people!
Thinking of this, he roared angrily:
"Come here, bring me the hidden truth!"
The soldier behind him quickly stopped him and said:
"Marshal, our troops are weak at this time, so we shouldn't fall out with the Xixia people."
"Why not just meander and wait for the Western Route Army to arrive?"
After hearing this, Xiao Puta calmed down instantly, but he was still a little confused:
"Could it be that Xixia has really reached a reconciliation with the Song army? They are jointly plotting against us, Daliao."
"Do they dare?"
At this moment, the soldier came to report:
"Marshal, the Prime Minister has come to reward the army."
Xiao Puta calmed down a little and said:
"Invite him in!"
After a while, Wu Zangpang walked quickly into the tent with a look of regret on his face:
"Marshal Xiao, you are so cautious, how could you fall into an ambush by the Song army? Oops..."
Xiao Puta's face twitched:
"Prime Minister, aren't you saying that there is no suitable place for an ambush in the Helan Mountains?"
Wu Zangpang nodded and said happily:
"Thanks to this, otherwise Marshal Xiao would have been hard-pressed to survive this time..."
Hearing this, Xiao Puta was immediately choked.
What you said makes sense, I can't even refute it!
At this time, Wu Zangyu Pang said:
"We didn't expect that the Song people were so cunning and caused the marshal to suffer a big loss."
"Don't get so angry that you are so angry. Yin Pang has sent you a man. If the marshal is upset, take it out on him!"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and his men immediately brought Zhang Shanfu up.
There was no hidden truth and Pang said:
"This is Zhang Shanfu, the commander-in-chief of the Song Army..."
As he spoke, he focused on introducing Zhang Shanfu's various identities, and then said:
"This person is at the disposal of the marshal!"
Seeing Zhang Shanfu, Xiao Puta suddenly became suspicious, and the doubts in his heart disappeared.
Since the Xixia people sent over the commander-in-chief of the Song army, they cannot conspire with the Song people.
Zhang Shanfu is indeed of great use. If he is brought back to the court, he will not only be able to alleviate his own sins, but also exchange some conditions with the Song Dynasty.
Thinking of this, he immediately became enthusiastic and said:
"Then I will be disrespectful."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said:
"Put me down!"
Zhang Shanfu is suffering. If he hadn't still had some effect, I'm afraid he would be dead by now.
He felt that his waist was completely wasted. Seeing that he was planning to give himself to the people of Liao, he quickly shouted:
"Prime Minister, why did you send me to the Liao people?"
When a Liao general nearby heard Zhang Shanfu's complaint, Dabi Dou immediately greeted him and cursed:
"Are you wronged?"
"You Song people have killed so many of our comrades..."
Zhang Shanfu was so beaten that stars appeared in his eyes, but he was still very stubborn and cursed angrily:
"You Liao people deserved to be defeated, Mad, why didn't they kill you?"
"Fuck..."
The Liao man didn't expect Zhang Shanfu to be so tough. He grabbed his neck and collar and was about to hit him cruelly:
"You're looking for death, right..."
Xiao Puta waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, no matter what, he is also an important minister of the Song Dynasty, so don't insult him."
The general then gave up in frustration.
Wu Zang said with a smile:
"Marshal, this man is amazing. Cao Bin was willing to offer one million yuan to replace him, but we didn't even do it."
What he said was nothing more than attracting Daliao's attention and letting them see his sincerity.
As for whether Cao Bin was really willing, he didn't care.
When Xiao Puta heard this, his eyes lit up.
If you can exchange it for one million strings, your guilt for losing troops and generals can be reduced by at least half. This is not a small sum.
When Zhang Shanfu heard this, he was so moved that he couldn't help himself, and said with tears in his eyes:
"I didn't expect Juncai to be so affectionate and kind!"
"From now on, you are my dearest relative and friend..."
That night, Xiao Puda was sleeping peacefully when he suddenly felt a foul smell lingering in his nose. He called the military affairs officer angrily and said:
"what happened?"
The military officer smiled bitterly and said:
"Perhaps they were acclimatized. In the middle of the night, thousands of soldiers suddenly became upset!"
Just when Xiao Puta was about to ask more questions, thunderous horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the camp.
"It's not good, the Song people have broken the camp, run away..."
Xiao Puta ignored the armor and jumped up, jumped off the camp bed and said:
"Bring me my BMW quickly!"
As he said this, he did not forget to say:
"Take Zhang Shanfu with me..."
