Xiao Chala felt that he was going crazy.

A few months ago, he received an imperial edict and a secret edict from the emperor in Xijing.

Everyone knew the content of the imperial edict. The emperor appointed him as the Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition Army and led his army south to the Song Dynasty to help the brotherly allied countries to quell the rebellion in its country, and after the rebellion was over, he was fully responsible for all matters of harvesting all the thirteen prefectures in Hebei from the Song Dynasty.

In the secret decree, the emperor ordered two things. One was to ask him to find a way to control the army of King Yelu Chun of Yan and undermine Yelu Chun. The second was to order him not to really help the Song Dynasty eliminate Zheng Linfeng, but to help the Song Dynasty solve the current danger of destruction, and to continue to leave the threat of Zheng Linfeng to the Song Dynasty. In short, it was to find a way to cause the division of the Song Dynasty and maintain this division!

When Xiao Chala received two imperial edicts, he couldn't help but shouted to the emperor!

Yelu Chun's strength is too strong and can threaten the imperial regime, but the emperor cannot easily touch him, otherwise Yelu Chun will rebel, which will be disastrous for the current crisis of the Liao Dynasty; the Song Dynasty is too powerful, and he has never given up on the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but the Liao Dynasty cannot turn against the Song Dynasty, because the consequences of turning against the enemy may also be disastrous; the Thirteen Prefectures of Hebei are the last barrier of the Central Plains to the north, and they were not conquered during the heyday of the Great Liao Dynasty.

Each of these three things is very important, and they are incompatible with each other. However, they did not expect that the great emperor would solve all the problems of sending troops to the south. Once this plan was successful, it would not only relieve Yelu Chun's military power and relieve the danger of the imperial rule, but also split the Song Dynasty into two hostile Han countries, allowing them to kill each other and destroy each other's strength, and even freely get the thirteen Hebei prefectures that the Great Liao dreamed of!

Is there any plan in the world that is greater than this? Xiao Chala clearly remembers that he admired the emperor at that time, but now... he thinks that this plan is actually extremely stupid! The emperor thought that he was planning a thousand miles away, but in fact he was deceived. Everything that happened between the Song Dynasty and Zheng Linfeng was actually a play for everyone in the world. They deliberately created this illusion of the division of the Song Dynasty and successfully deceived the Liao Dynasty and

The Xia Kingdom, this battlefield was not the place where the Song Dynasty and Zheng Linfeng fought decisively, but was arranged for the Liao and Xia armies! Sadly, the emperors of Liao and Xia countries thought they were very cheap, and honestly sent hundreds of thousands of troops to get into this trap by themselves. Now, the Liao and Xia armies are surrounded, and the Song army and the Heavenly Dao army are all in all directions in the southeast, west and north, forming an airtight net of heaven and earth, which is clearly about to trap Xia and Liao army here!

Seeing that the food and grass were gone, there was no need to talk about reinforcements outside, I was afraid that the Liao Dynasty was still in the dark and could not beat the grass valley. It was impossible to break through in all directions in the south, west and north. Just when Xiao Chala felt desperate, a good news suddenly came from the east. A group of Liao troops accidentally encountered a grain team of the Tiandao Army. They drove away the people from the escort grain team and snatched a batch of grain and grass that was even more precious than gold. Although the amount of grain and grass was not large, at most it was only enough for one thousand.

The amount of the army used in a day, but there was another surprise that was even more surprising than this batch of grain and grass. That was, a map of the Tiandao Army's baggage distribution was found from the grain team, which clearly marked the location of all large and small grain camps of the Tiandao Army. Two of them couldn't help but make Xiao Chala feel excited. One of the two places was called Gaotang and the other was called Bozhou. From the map, these two grain camps should be the hub for the Tiandao Army to transport grain and grass to the front line, and there must be a large amount of grain and grass inside!

What is the most shortage of Xia and Liao armies now? It is food and grass! As long as there is enough food and grass, there is actually not much. As long as there is enough food and grass to support the army, it will take about ten days to use the food and grass. The Xia and Liao armies can regroup and start a decisive battle against the Song army and the Tiandao army. They will either die here or open the gap to escape!

Xiao Chala couldn't help it anymore. The two grain camps were like two large pancakes with tempting smells, always seducing him like someone about to starve to death. He decided to send troops to attack Gao Tang, but unexpectedly, this move attracted Yelu Dashi's opposition. Yelu Dashi believed that the news came too many coincidences, and there might be fraud in it, so he must not act rashly.

If it were normal, Xiao Chala might have heard it, but the army had just attacked the rations and lost a lot of food and grass. Now the entire army knows that this happened is related to Xiao Chala's disobedience to Yelu Dashi's advice. He lost such a large number of life-saving food and grass. The Liao army complained, and Xiao Chala's prestige can be said to have plummeted!

It should be said that such things are actually very common in marching and war. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. People always make mistakes. For those who make mistakes, as long as they have a chance, the most correct way should be to learn from experience and lessons, get up from wherever they fall, and strive to make another military achievements to avenge their previous shame. But Xiao Chala is not such a person. His first reaction was that Yelu Dashi, the culprit who caused his face to lose his face, and regard Yelu Dashi as a thorn in his eyes. For him, no matter what kind of victory he commands the army in the future, it is not enough to make up for the shame this time. There is only one way to eliminate the shame, which is to find another thing that refutes Yelu Dashi's opinion, and then use his own correctness to set off Yelu Dashi's mistakes. Only in this way, Xiao Chala is satisfied.

So, when Xiao Chala saw Yelu Dashi's opposition, he immediately went to attack Gaotang and Bozhou. His eyes lit up. The opportunity was considered to be again! He immediately refuted Yelu Dashi and said, "We have no food now and cannot attack in all directions. Is there any worse result than this? Since we already know that Gaotang and Bozhou have food, why don't we go? If we want to survive and reorganize a decisive battle, we can only go to Gaotang and Bozhou to grab the food! Ambush? This is really ridiculous, the Song army and the Heavenly Dao

The army clearly wants to trap us and starve us to death. As long as they continue to strengthen the defenses of various places on the existing basis, we will be finished within three days. The entire army will inevitably be completely defeated. Do they still need to set up any ambush in one go? So this is definitely not an ambush, but the last chance given to us by God! This opportunity must not only be seized, but also as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the enemy reacts, they will inevitably strengthen the defenses of Gaotang and Bozhou, and we will have no chance at that time!

I have to say that Xiao Chala's analysis is very reasonable. Yelu Dashi had nothing to say if he wanted to refute it, but his keen sense of war told him that something might happen to Gaotang and Bozhou this time!

So how can we stop Xiao Chala?

Yelu Dashi immediately thought of someone who was either the leader of the Xia army, Cha Ge. The leader of the Xia army had fought with the Song State for so many years and was very familiar with the combat habits of the Song army. He would definitely see the conspiracy of the Song army to stop Xiao Cha La.

Yelu Dashi Xiangding immediately said, "Master, should I notify Xia Jun of this matter?"

Xiao Chala frowned and said, "Is it necessary?" Let them share the food with us?"

Yelu Dashi shook his head and said, our two armies are now grasshoppers on the same rope, with their lips and teeth cold. If they act alone, it is likely to cause misunderstandings from the Xia army. Besides, the two armies are in contact with each other, so such a big noise cannot be hidden from them! The most important point is, as you said, should we share the food and grass after we grab the food and grass? I think that must be divided. If they are not divided, they will most likely turn against us and grab the food and grass. That will be disastrous for us! So instead of taking the risk and fighting to conquer Gaotang and Bozhou at the end, we will have to take advantage of the Xia army in vain. It is better to let the Xia army act together, and the cooperation between the two armies is greater. At most, we can make an agreement in advance and then divide the food and grass evenly.

When Xiao Chala thought that this was indeed the case, he agreed with Yelu Dashi's words and sent someone to invite Brother Cha.

After Brother Cha arrived, he immediately turned his eyes straight after hearing Xiao Chala's introduction. His eyes were like a hungry wolf who saw the ready-made fresh meat and even had a green light!

Yelu Dashi knew that his idea had failed at the sight. He sighed helplessly, but fortunately, at least he tied Xia army and himself again. Even if there was any problem, the two armies could take care of each other.

Xiao Chala and Chage hit it off, and the two quickly discussed a specific action plan. The two armies each sent a horse army to raid, with the Xia army responsible for attacking Bozhou and the Liao army responsible for attacking Gaotang. Whether it ultimately captured any city or two cities, both armies must honestly distribute all the spoils evenly!

A day later, good news came, and it was great news. The two armies successfully raided. The Tiandao Army in Gaotang and Bozhou were not as good as defense and was successfully captured by the two armies. Moreover, both armies found a place to store grain in the city. It is said that there were several huge granaries filled with grain bags, and the grain bags were covered with white rice! A rough estimate was that the grain in several granaries was enough for the Xia and Liao armies in the past ten days!

Of course, Xiao Chala and Cha Ge were overjoyed, but at the same time, bad news came, saying that the Heavenly Dao Army had sent an army to Gaotang and Bozhou to retake the two cities. The two were shocked again and immediately ordered all the troops to stop their current operations and gather at Gaotang and Bozhou at full speed, saying that they would save the hard-earned life-saving food. The two also agreed that Gaotang would temporarily belong to the Liao army, and Bozhou would temporarily belong to the Xia army, and solve the current situation first, and let the specific food distribution be discussed later.

Fortunately, Quan said that he was lucky. When the Xia and Liao armies arrived in Gaotang and Bozhou respectively, many Tiandao troops had gathered outside the city to surround the two cities, but their number was not large. As soon as the Xia and Liao armies arrived, they retreated without fighting and allowed the two armies to enter the city.

The first thing Xiao Chala did when he entered the city was to see the grain. It was true that there were indeed several huge granaries deep in the city, full of grain bags. Only these grains and grass were saved, and it was enough for the Liao army to support for half a month!

However, there is a strange place in the city. There are no residents in the city. Apart from a few large grain camps, the entire city is an empty city. The subordinates of the siege said that this is what they did once they entered the city.

Xiao Chala thought about it. Perhaps the Heavenly Dao Army had removed all the residents for safety reasons, which was normal. He did not think deeper, but just ordered the entire army to start a meal immediately and have a good meal before talking about it.

When the news spread, the Liao army in Gaotang City cheered and shook the sky! Only Yelu Dashi came to the city tower, looked at the empty city from a high place, frowned and speechless.

The next night, the Liao army from all over the country arrived and entered the city one after another and had a full meal. Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, but unexpectedly something happened overnight. Early the next morning, the chefs wanted to cook again, but when they went to the granary to move the grain bags deep in the granary, they found that it was not rice at all, but... soil! The chefs moved several grain bags in a row and found that except for one of the grain bags, the rest were all soil!

Xiao Chala rushed over after hearing the news. Looking at the dark soil poured out of the grain bag, he trembled all over and seemed to remember something. He immediately ordered the granary to be empty. When everyone moved the layer of grain bags on the surface, he suddenly found that the grain bags inside were filled with soil!

At this moment, an emergency military situation suddenly came from outside the city, and countless Heavenly Dao Army suddenly came from all directions, which had surrounded Gaotang City!

Xiao Chala couldn't help but tremble, and then he realized that he was fooled again!
