Chapter 855

"In this way, Zhe Keshi gave up Baishi City and let Renduo Zongbao enter the hinterland of our three states, which would make the Daliao alert and prevent him from advancing towards my hinterland?" Gao Shize patted his forehead lightly, as if he had some insight.

"Yes, this is not just a tactical issue, it involves the face of the Liao Dynasty, that is, the strategic issue. Therefore, if I were the commander of the Liaoxia coalition, I would never allow such a thing to happen."

"As a matter of this, our pressure is indeed increasing again..." Xu Zhao smashed his mouth and felt a little painful. It was obviously a good thing for the overall strategy of the Song Dynasty, but it was not good news for the military and civilians who guarded Youzhou City.

"It may increase, or it may not increase. After all, it is impossible for me, the Song Dynasty, to watch the Xixia army in Xingqing Prefecture break into the hinterland and disrupt the previous strategic arrangements."

"What's more, we also seized Yinzhou in the eastern part of Xixia and threatened Shizhou. Therefore, the commander of the Liao army either let the Western Xia soldiers gather in to attack Youzhou, or they asked them to reinforce the eastern part. Moreover, the Xixia king, even if he had a thousand unwillingness in his heart, had to obey the will of the Liao Dynasty."

"In short, although the victory of these few times has little impact on our Youzhou, it has already stirred up the movements of the entire battlefield..." Wang Yang said with a smile.

The smile on his face became more and more unfathomable in the eyes of everyone present.

Xiao Wuna stood outside the central army tent, rubbing his hands anxiously and wandered outside the tent, but he didn't wait too long, and the commander's personal soldiers walked out of the tent. "Sir, your highness, please..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Wuna, who had always been very steady in his daily work, opened the curtain and walked straight in. Not long after he fell asleep, Xiao Wuna urgently asked for a smile to Yelu and Luwu, the commander of the Liaoxia coalition, who had woken up.

"Mr. Xiao, it's so late, why don't you rest..."

"There is really an urgent news that forced me to bother you in the middle of the night. I would like to forgive you." Xiao Wuna saluted Yelu and Luwu respectfully and handed over the information he had just received.

"The Secretary of the Western Xia Dynasty, Ling Renduo Zongbao, led more than 50,000 Xia troops to capture Baishi City, 130 miles west of Youzhou City at dusk yesterday."

"Oh? It seems that the king of Xixia really can't sit still. It seems that they can't take Yanzhou, so they have no choice but to turn around and attack the small towns in the north. This is great, and there is another army, so naturally it can put some heavy pressure on Song Ting." After seeing the news, Yelu and Luwu said with disapproval.

The spies from the Liaoxia Alliance had not been reconnaissed before. They were just a small town with low city defenses. Compared with Youzhou, they had no strategic value.

What's more, there were more than 10,000 cavalrymen of Song State outside the city at that time. If there were fewer troops to be dispatched, they would easily be harassed by the cavalry of Song State. If there were more sent, the goal of the Liaoxia coalition that was determined previously was to put it in Youzhou would be even more difficult to achieve.

Therefore, I never paid much attention. However, Xia State actually sent troops to take down this small city. For the overall situation, it was really irrelevant.

"Your Highness, don't underestimate the actions of the Xixia people. You must stop them." Xiao Wuna's words made Yelu and Luwu stunned.

"Your Highness, don't forget that you are the commander of the Liaoxia coalition. Before, the Xixia people sent troops to attack Yanzhou without authorization. After all, there was a Baishi City in the western territory of Xixia here."

"But now it's different. After they returned to the army north and took down Baishi City, they should immediately advance eastward to the city of Youzhou and obey the orders of Your Highness."

"Sir, don't say too quickly, wait a moment..." Yelu and Luwu summoned their personal soldiers, took the towel handed over by their personal soldiers and wiped their faces hard, finally making themselves a little more awake.

"What do you mean by Mr. Xiao..."

"Your Highness, don't forget that our Liaoxia coalition forces have been in this city of Youzhou for more than twenty days. It is almost the moonlight, but the city of Youzhou is still slow to go..." Xiao Wuna was helpless and could only decide to speak out.

But as soon as he finished his first sentence, the face of His Highness, Yelu and Luwu, turned dark on the spot. If they were not concerned about the friendship between the two of them for many years, they might have turned against each other.

Fortunately, Xiao Wuna did not give Yelu and Luwu a chance to turn against each other, but said quickly and quickly. "Now, the elite Western Xia troops came from the east and went down to Baishi City in one fell swoop. After that, it is very likely that the Song army was trapped in Youzhou by me and invaded the south in large numbers and went deep into the hinterland of these three states."

"In this way, isn't it beneficial to our army? What's wrong with that?" Yelu and Luwu's tone were already displeased, and they retorted bluntly.

Xiao Wuna, who knew why this prince was angry, was not angry, but continued to explain his meaning.

"If the Western Xia troops led by Renduo Zongbao are unfavorable, it would be fine. If the offensive is like a tide, and it will cause great waves in the hinterland of these three states, then, your highness, you, the commander of the Liaoxia coalition, have the prestige of your nobles? How can our great Liao army remain?"

Speaking of this, Yelu and Luwu finally changed their expressions and understood. Now, he finally understood Xiao Wuna's intention.

That is, our Liaoxia coalition forces have been in the city of Youzhou for almost a month, but this small city of Youzhou still stands tall.

After Renduo Zongbao led tens of thousands of troops and entered the hinterland of these three states, he killed the troops of Song and overturned the horses and destroyed the city walls.

In this way, not to mention others, just once this news comes back to the ears of the Emperor Yelu Hongji, the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, would be enough for His Royal Highness Yelu and Luwu to drink a big pot.

"Thank you, the elder, for your advice, I almost missed the big thing." Yelu and Luwu quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Wuna, saying with shame.

"Your Highness doesn't have to do this. You and I are both ministers of the Great Liao Dynasty. Naturally, we must make good plans for our Great Liao Dynasty. Now, although the city of Youzhou is small, its city defense is strong and its strength is rare in the world."

"However, we know, but others don't know..." When Xiao Wuna said this, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the stone thrower with a very long range in Yuzhou City.

"The important thing is that we cannot let such a thing happen, so, now that Renda Zongbao has left, please send an envoy to Baishicheng immediately and order him to lead his army to listen to the order."
