I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

When Liu Sheng received the news that the Khitans were heading south, Cai You also received the news. After listening to the scout's report, he took out Wang Zhen's letter from his arms and gave him the letter, frowning.

Comparing the two, I don’t know who to believe? The letter said that Yingzhou would be returned to the Song Dynasty, and the Khitans would withdraw after a feint attack. After the New Year, they would withdraw again and return Yingzhou to the Khitans. These were all negotiated terms.

A feint attack requires [-] troops? Cai You was full of entanglements, betting that a wave of Khitan people would keep their promise.

If the Khitan people don't respect martial ethics, it means their wealth and life. Cai You wandered back and forth between leaving and not leaving, wanting to find someone to discuss, but there was no one around. Wang Zhen completely gave up all his rights the day Cai You woke up. Lying in the room claiming to be sick.

Cai You wanted to give himself a big mouth at this time. After pretending for so long, his defense was broken by one sentence.

If the Khitan people only acted once, then Cai You would be willing to act with them. If the Khitan people came to do it for real, then he would not care about the official's face.

His own life is the most important thing, and Cai You must not make double plans.

He wrote a letter to his father Cai Jing and ordered the border troops on Yongzhou Road to rush north to support him.

...

The Khitans marched very fast, and in just two and a half days, Xiao Zhan led [-] cavalry across the Sanggan River and headed straight for Yingzhou.

Liu Sheng's anxious heart finally returned to his stomach. It turned out that he was not here for them.

Liu Sheng couldn't help but sigh, they were of the same surname, they were all so arrogant, Xiao Zhan abandoned fifty thousand infantry and various siege equipment, and the cavalry went first.

Without paying too much attention to the news about the Khitans, does Liu Sheng want to inform Cai You about the situation on his side?

Maybe we can get help from the Song Dynasty. The emperor of the Song family wanted some fig leaves. Cai You's fig leaf may not be able to cover it up. Shuozhou added another layer of insurance to the emperor's fig leaf.

It would be another surprise if the news of the annihilation of the Pishi Army and the Liao generals came back.

The emperor must have been overjoyed. Liu Sheng was also jealous when he saw the groups of baggage pouring into Yingzhou City.

After careful consideration, Liu Sheng decided to write a letter to inform Cai You.

Xiaozhan has crossed the Sanggan River and has his own military strategy. He will not change the battle plan easily.

This move has more advantages than disadvantages. Xiao Zhan's [-] cavalry will obviously not be used to attack the city, but will only block Yingzhou City.

The supplies will definitely be distributed to Shuozhou, and Liu Sheng is not worried that Cai You will not report it to him. This is also a great contribution to him.

Xiao Zhan led his army to station at the foot of Longshou Mountain, which was still some distance away from Yingzhou. He only had 5000 horsemen around him, and he dispersed all the remaining [-] people.

Xiao He's defeat was bizarre, and there is still no specific news. It is only speculated that the Song army set up an ambush.

As for Zhang Jue's statement that an army of 10 people is just bait, Xiao Zhan sneered. What kind of strategy requires using [-] people as bait?

But the frontier troops of the Song State were not dispatched. It is impossible for the Song State to have a second force capable of defeating the Pishi Army. Is this very strange?

Although he was very angry, Xiao Zhan still had some basic sense.

Listening to the reports from his subordinates, Xiao Zhan became more and more confused. The Song army hid in Yingzhou City and could not leave. The scouts who dispersed searched almost the entire Yingzhou land and found nothing wrong.

There were only a few grain transport teams, and when they saw the Khitan cavalry, they dispersed.

"General, could it be that you are paranoid? The Song people did not ambush at all."

Xiao Zhantou looked at Cai You's information without raising his head and said: "You don't understand, the Song people are cunning and treacherous. Although my son is young, it is impossible to annihilate the four thousand Pishi army without more than ten thousand cavalry. "

"Don't let down your guard. Continue to explore. Move the tent to Yingzhou and wait for the infantry to arrive."

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Zhan abandoned all his baggage and reinforcements and arrived at Yingzhou as quickly as possible. He thought he was furious and attacked the city with all his strength, but he didn't expect to be so cautious.

Cai You stood on the wall of Yingzhou City, holding a letter in his hand claiming to be sent by Liu Zhao's envoy, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

When the visitor mentioned Liu Zhaoxuan, Cai You thought about it for a long time without remembering that he had an Zhaoxuan named Liu under his command.

It was only after someone reminded me that I finally remembered.

The cannon fodder he had left behind at the beginning actually wiped out all the Pishi army who had chased them to the sky and into the ground. He felt indescribable sadness in his heart.

Wang Zhen also came over after receiving the news, his face full of disbelief.

"Mr. Sir, this must be fake. It is a conspiracy of the Khitan people."

Cai You handed the letter to Wang and said: "They have retreated to Shuozhou and occupied the entire territory of Shuozhou. They are not coming to join our army. They are just asking for some supplies and food."

He took out another letter from his arms and said that it was from the Emperor of Song's own hand and was handed over to Cai You by Wang Zhen.

"You should also read this letter!"

Wang Zhen quickly read the letter from Shuozhou and picked up the letter from Cai You.

"This...why would the official family negotiate peace with the Khitan?"

Cai You smiled bitterly and said: "If you lose, you lose. What should we do if we don't negotiate for peace?"

"The officials have negotiated a peace. Logically speaking, the Khitan wants to be on guard against the Jurchens and should take advantage of the situation. However, it is unusual to send out [-] troops."

It was unbelievable, but if he had killed Xiaohe and annihilated the Pishi army according to what Liu Sheng said in his letter, then everything would be very reasonable. "

Wang Zhen said a little unnaturally: "Then, are we taking the blame for Liu Sheng?"

Cai You "..."

"The news has not spread yet. It must be that the Khitan is blocking the news. Such a great victory should be reported to the officials. It must be inspiring. In addition, the entire army is preparing to retreat and stay away from Yingzhou."
