Chapter 912 Wu Qimai's Concession

Since Xiao Zhizhou brought the Navy of the Song Dynasty, in Xiao Dilie's view, as long as he asked the Navy of the Song Dynasty to fire a few shots at the Jurchens, and then went ashore to start the Jurchens. However, now Xiao Zhizhou has taken the risk of entering Kaizhou City, which makes him a little confused.

"This matter is a long story. Please ask General Xiao to take me to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You will understand my purpose at that time." When Xiao Zhizhou said this, he couldn't help but smile a little bitterly. He had no intention of entering the city, but he didn't expect that the generals of the Song Dynasty discussed a plan that required the cooperation of the Liao army in the city. He happened to be in the fleet, so it was most appropriate for him to come forward to be the envoy.

Hearing this, Xiao Dilie also saw that Xiao Zhizhou was not like a lie, and there were only a few of them, so even if they saw the prince, there was no danger. So after hesitating for a while, he finally nodded and agreed to take them to see Yelu Yanxi.

Yelu Yanxi has been worried these days and can't sleep at all. Even if she finally fell asleep, she was often awakened by nightmares, and she was always worried about being killed by Jurchens outside the city. Tonight was no exception. Yelu Yanxi finally fell asleep in the middle of the night. As a result, after sleeping for a while, she had another nightmares of Jurchens grabbing her. As a result, she jumped up in cold sweat and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Just when Yelu Yanxi tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, Xiao Dilie and Xiao Zhizhou finally came outside to ask for a meeting. Yelu Yanxi heard that Xiao Dilie had come to see him at this time, and brought someone to him. She was very surprised. Anyway, he couldn't sleep, so she put on her clothes and summoned the two of them in the living room.

"I! Xiao Wenyuan, the governor of Chenzhou, pays homage to the crown prince!" Xiao Zhizhou entered the living room and saw Yelu Yanxi, and immediately trotted forward and bowed.

"Huh? Why are you here at Magistrate Xiao?" Sure enough, Yelu Yanxi asked in surprise when she saw Magistrate Xiao.

"Report to the Crown Prince, I heard that the Crown Prince was trapped, so I persuaded the Song Dynasty to send troops to rescue..." When Xiao Zhizhou saw Yelu Yanxi, he immediately stepped forward and spoke, and the first sentence pointed out his contribution. Then he talked about how he convinced the Song army, and of course, his words and words highlighted his contributions in this matter.

"Okay! OK! Xiao Zhizhou is indeed a pillar of the Liao Dynasty. In such a crisis, Xiao Zhizhou was able to convince the Song Dynasty's army to come for rescue. It really made me feel very relieved!" Yelu Yanxi had long been scared by the Jurchens outside the city. Now when he heard Xiao Zhizhou bringing the Song Dynasty's army to rescue, he immediately showed an ecstatic expression and said, "As long as he can rescue him, he doesn't care about any face issues.

"Thank you for your praise from the Crown Prince. The subordinates are just doing their duty as a minister." Xiao Zhizhou was already happy when he heard Yelu Yanxi's praise, but on the surface he still made a righteous expression.

"Xiao Aiqing is so polite. By the way, where are the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty? When can we drive away the Jurchens outside the city?" Yelu Yanxi praised Xiao Zhizhou again, and then asked impatiently.

"Your Highness, the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty are on the sea outside the south of the city and can be killed at any time, but they want to teach the Jurchens a severe lesson. So they came up with a plan, so they asked me to enter the city and discuss with you. If your Highness agrees, I will immediately rush back overnight and inform them to launch an attack tomorrow!" Xiao Zhizhou said excitedly at this time. If he could save Yelu Yanxi immediately and destroy a large number of Jurchens at the same time, his contribution would be too great. As for losing some face, it was nothing.

"What strategy? Xiao Zhizhou please tell me quickly!" Yelu Yanxi said anxiously again.

"This strategy is actually very simple. You only need your prince, you order the defenders in the city to cooperate..." Xiao Zhizhou then told the strategy formulated in the Song Navy during the day. After hearing this, Yelu Yanxi nodded repeatedly. According to the Song army's plan, they didn't have to put too much effort on their side. They just cooperated with the Song army's performance. At that time, it depends on whether the Jurchens outside the city will be fooled?

At the same time, in the Jurchen camp outside the city, Wu Qimai walked out of his tent and stretched his waist long, then turned his head to look at the Kaizhou city wall not far away, which was already shrouded in the morning light. A few days ago, they received news from Xiaozhu that they learned that the prince of Liao, Yelu Yanxi, came to Kaizhou City. He and his elder brother Aguda immediately led their troops to surround Kaizhou City.

According to Wu Qimai's plan, he wanted to conquer Kaizhou City and then capture Yelu Yanxi alive. This would not only bring a heavy blow to the Liao Kingdom, but also use Yelu Yanxi's identity to exchange for a large amount of supplies from the Liao Kingdom. It can be said that it is a sure profitable deal.

However, Wu Qimai's elder brother Aguda thought it was longer than him. In his opinion, it was far from enough to capture Yelu Yanxi alive. For an important person like Yelu Yanxi, every value he had to be drained from him, so they formulated a plan to surround the point and help. Now he led 3,000 people to besiege Kaizhou City, but Aguda had already quietly ambushed the only way from Liaoyang Prefecture to Kaizhou City. As long as the reinforcements from Liao Kingdom dared to come, they would definitely teach them a heavy lesson. Then he would break through Kaizhou City and kidnap Yelu Yanxi, and then slowly talk to the Liao people about the exchange conditions.

Thinking of the above, Wu Qimai couldn't help but smile proudly. But at this moment, there was a noise coming from the military camp, as if someone was arguing, which made Wu Qimai's face dark and he strode over. As a result, two groups of Jurchen men were nervously confronting each other, and it seemed that they were about to start fighting if they had a disagreement.

"Who dares to fight here in the military camp?" Wu Qimai saw this situation and immediately roared in a deep voice. In fact, he knew that among the two groups of people confronting each other, the Jurchens on the left side of the fire were neatly dressed and were wearing simple leather armor. These people were from their Wanyan tribe. As for the people on the other side, they were wearing various furs and the hair styles on their heads were somewhat different, but it could also be seen that they were Jurchens, but there was a clear difference from those from the Wanyan tribe.

"Wu Qimai, we respect your brothers as heroes, so we agreed to raise an army to follow you to attack the Liao Kingdom. But you are too unrighteous. Why do your people drink fresh broth in the morning, but we can only drink the soup made from the bones that we gnawed last night?" As soon as Wu Qimai finished speaking, someone from the group of Jurchens who were obviously not Wanyan's tribe stood up and said angrily. This man was very tall and burly, and he was black. He stood there like an iron tower, and his big eyes like copper bells stared at Wu Qimai with anger, as if if the other party didn't give him a reasonable explanation, he would immediately hit someone.

Seeing this man like an iron tower, Wu Qimai also had a headache because the other party had an extraordinary origin. His father was Wu Gutu, the young leader of the western Haixi region, who had just formed an alliance with their Wanyan tribe. In recent years, the Liao Kingdom had fought with their Wanyan tribe. Although they failed to destroy them, the Wanyan tribe also lost a lot of troops. Now there are only more than 3,000 combat-ready soldiers. In order to make up for the shortcomings of insufficient manpower, they had to form an alliance with the Jurchens in the western Haixi region.

The western part of the sea is not a large tribe, but an alliance of Jurchen tribes. This alliance looks relatively loose, but there are hundreds of tribes of all sizes. The total population is 50,000 or 60,000 people. This is a huge population supplement for the Wanyan tribe. Therefore, Aguda took a lot of effort to form an alliance with the other party. This is the first time they jointly sent troops. However, out of caution, the western part of the sea only sent two thousand people, and the Wugutu in front of him is the command of these two thousand people. At the same time, he is also the son of the leader of the western part of the sea. Although the western part of the sea is only a loose tribal alliance and the leader of the alliance is not fixed, the father of Wugutu still has a huge influence in the western part of the sea. If they really offend him, they may be the unsolicited alliance that they were not strong in the originally collapsed.

Thinking of this, Wu Qimai had to show a faint smile to Wu Gu Tu and said, "Brother Wu Gu Tu, we are allies and brothers. If you have any dissatisfaction, just mention it to me directly. There is no need to quarrel with the people below!"

"I don't want to argue, but since your Wanyan tribe invites us to send troops, we are your guests. But your Wanyan tribe actually gives the guests the remaining bones and eats good meat. Is this your Wanyan tribe's way of hospitality?" Although Wugutu looks very rude on the surface, he is actually quite smart. Otherwise, his father would not have sent him to lead troops. In addition, he has another task, which is to test the Wanyan tribe's true attitude towards their western part. After all, Wanyan tribe has not had a good reputation in recent years. Even at the beginning, Wugutu actually opposed the alliance with Wanyan tribe. However, other tribes in the alliance were tempted by Wanyan tribe and most of them agreed to form an alliance, so he could not object.

"Brother Wugutu, this must be the negligence of the people below. I asked someone to change us with fresh broth. As for the bone soup, all of our Wanyan tribes will be eaten!" Wu Qimai gave in again. In order to maintain the alliance between the two ministries, he had to make some concessions, especially at this critical moment. However, he was ruthless in his heart. The Wanyan tribe and their Wanyan tribe were bound to win. As long as they annexed the Haixi tribe, they would definitely make the Wugutu and his son look good.

Seeing Wu Qimai make concessions, Wugutu is not good to say anything, but at this moment, a spy from the Jurchens rushed into the camp and reported loudly: "Report to General, there is something going on in the Liao army in Kaizhou City!" (To be continued.)
