Wu Dalang: I really don't want to be an emperor

Chapter 35
Being robbed by Tong Guan, Wu Zhi simply stopped talking and looked at him with a half-smile.

For a long time, Tong Guan only cared about grabbing power and flattering Zhao Ji.

As for the matter of leading troops to fight, I have never seen him be so active.

What Wu Zhi didn't understand was that Tong Guan was also very helpless.

With the rise of Wu Zhi, his status plummeted both in the court and in Zhao Ji's heart.

As a last resort, Tong Guan had no choice but to volunteer to show his ability to Song Huizong Zhao Ji, hoping to regain Zhao Ji's trust.

This time the Liao State raised its troops and went south, Tong Guan saw hope.

Immediately seize the opportunity to speak, rush to fight before Wu Zhi.

As for whether he could win in the end, he didn't think that much at all.

However, Tong Guan wanted to go to war, but Wu Zhi didn't care at all.

Zhao Ji is not worried about falling out of favor with the magic painting "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival".

Even if Tong Guan loses, it's his own fault.

"Tong Aiqing wants to fight against the Liao Kingdom?"

When Zhao Ji heard that Tong Guan had volunteered, he was slightly taken aback.

Originally, he was counting on Wu Zhi to go.

After all, the battle to wipe out Liangshan was done beautifully.

However, Tong Guan wanted to fight, but Wu Zhi kept silent, so it was hard for him to refuse.

The Liao Kingdom invaded, and someone needed to carry the lead.

As for Tong Guan or Wu Zhi, Zhao Ji didn't care much.

"Okay, since Privy Council Tong is willing to take command and go there, I will appoint you as the general marshal of the resistance against the Liao Dynasty and send troops to fight against the Liao Dynasty from now on."

In the absence of Wu Zhi, Zhao Ji agreed to Tong Guan's request after thinking for a while.

"Wei Chen obeys!"

After receiving Emperor Zhao Ji's nod of agreement, Tong Guan was immediately overjoyed.

Finally, he gave Wu Zhi a provocative look.

Wu Zhi felt like he was fighting for food with a vicious dog.

You can go whenever you want, and you don't need to regard yourself as a competitor, and you don't need to compete with dogs for food.

This time, Tong Guan's execution ability is quite high.

After taking orders on the first day, he rectified the soldiers and horses in the barracks that day.

It took three days to complete the preparations for logistics, food and grass.

Raised 40 troops to fight against the Liao Dynasty.

"Aiqing, I am waiting for your triumphant return!"

Zhao Ji had great expectations for this expedition.

Before leaving, he even led all the civil and military officials to see him off, which made Tong Guan more face.

"I will live up to your Majesty's expectations, and I will swear to defeat the Liao army!"

Under everyone's gaze, Tong Guan was full of pride and made a promise to Zhao Ji.

"set off!"

After squinting at Wu Zhi haughtily, Tong Guan led his troops to set off.

An army of 40 marched towards the border.

"Ugh!"

Seeing Tong Guan's expression, Wu Zhi shook his head and couldn't help but worry about the uncertain future of the 40 soldiers.

Tong Guan led the army without stopping.

All the way quickly, they were stationed on the edge of Xiongzhou, standing against the city, and withstood the situation that the Liao army continued to attack the city and pull out the village.

With Xiongzhou as the center, the two armies confronted each other.

The Liao army's offensive stopped accordingly.

After the news came back to Bianjing, Emperor Zhao Ji was immediately overjoyed and praised Tong Guan non-stop.

This made Tong Guan more eager to defeat the Liao army.

Only by defeating the Liao army can he regain the grace and defeat Wu Zhi in the court.

With the idea of ​​defeating the Liao army at a very fast speed, Tong Guanda had the idea of ​​going out of the city to take the initiative to defeat the Liao army in one fell swoop.

"My lord, the Liao army is mostly cavalry, but our army is all infantry, leaning on the city to defend, our army has the upper hand, once we take the initiative to attack, we may not be the opponent of the Liao army!"

After Tong Guan had the idea of ​​leaving the city, someone dissuaded him.

"It makes sense."

Although Tong Guan became a privy envoy by relying on his flattering skills, he was not so stupid as to seek death himself.

After being persuaded by someone, he immediately dismissed the idea of ​​attacking and just defended the city.

The Liao army tried to attack several times, but was repulsed by Tong Guan.

"Master Privy Envoy, the Liao army is nothing more than this, with Lord Privy Envoy here, this battle must be won!"

After several victories, Song repelled the Liao soldiers and gradually lost his vigilance.

Tong Guan's original fear and fear of the Liao army disappeared because of several victories, and he underestimated the Liao army.

"My Lord Privy Council, our army is twice as numerous as the Liao army. Why not take advantage of the victory and pursue it while the Liao army is tired? We can eliminate them in one fell swoop and achieve an unparalleled feat."

Seeing that Tong Guanzai was impatient with defense early, someone made a suggestion.

As soon as these words came out, Tong Guan was quite moved.

Over the past few days, Wu Zhi has destroyed the bandits in Liangshan and gained the favor of Zhao Ji. He has gradually lost power in the court.

As long as you defeat the Liao Kingdom, you will make great achievements.

Tong Guan believed that he would become Zhao Ji's favored minister again.

"Master Privy Envoy, don't do it! Liao's soldiers are strong and cavalry, but they have a fatal weakness. They are not good at attacking cities. As long as they rely on the city to defend, Liao has absolutely no chance of winning..."

Not all of Tong Guanjun are incompetent.

Seeing that Tong Guan planned to lead the army out of the city, the lieutenant immediately persuaded him.

"Master Privy Councilor, Lieutenant General Li's words are nothing more than the opinion of a coward, I, son of Song Dynasty, am I a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?

Besides, no matter how tall and thick the city is, it will be breached one day. Only when the Liao army is defeated in one fell swoop can it be considered a victory. "

The deputy general's conservative words just now aroused the opposition of other generals.

"Well, that makes sense."

Tong Guanben intended to attack, and the words of his generals immediately resonated with him.

"Master Privy Envoy, think twice!"

Upon hearing Tong Guan's decision, Vice General Li's expression changed and he hurriedly persuaded him.

"I have made up my mind. I will dispatch troops at midnight tonight, vowing to defeat the Liao army in one fell swoop!"

Seeing that Lieutenant General Li wanted to persuade him again, Tong Guan immediately stopped him and made the final decision.

It was night, the sky was high and the clouds were dark, and there was no light at all.

Tong Guan gathered troops in Xiongzhou City to order generals.

When the third shift of the night arrived, with an order, 40 troops directly pressed on the Liao army barracks.

At the third watch of the night, it is the time when the sky is most sleepy.

In the Liao army camp, except for the guards who kept watch at night, everyone else fell asleep.

"God help me!"

Tong Guan came ten miles away from the Liao army camp, and seeing this scene, he couldn't help being ecstatic.

As long as he took advantage of his unpreparedness and defeated the Liao army in one fell swoop, Tong Guan would be able to recover the sixteen prefectures of Youyun and make an outstanding achievement that will last forever.

"All officers and men in the army, the time has come to make great achievements together with this commander. Kill!"

"kill!"

Following Tong Guan's order, 40 soldiers of the Song Army roared and rushed towards the Liao Army camp.

"Kill all the Liao soldiers!"

Under the protection of his personal guards, Tong Guan got up on the horse and shouted excitedly.

"Your Majesty the Privy Council, there is no one among the Liao army!"

However, when Tong Guan entered the Liao army camp, he found that the Liao army camp was empty.

"not good!"

Hearing this, the smile on Tong Guan's face suddenly froze, his eyes were filled with fear, and an unknown premonition emerged from the bottom of his heart.

"Come on!"

"Kill all the Song soldiers and capture Tong Guan alive!"

After the Song army entered the camp, there was a sudden cry of killing in the Liao army camp.

Numerous torch lights lit up from all directions, like daytime.
