Chapter 939 Chapter 939, Death Swamp
Xiao Yeyang stayed at home for three days. Although Daozi slept most of the time, he still stayed by his son's side all the time. Daohua sat next to him and made clothes for her son while watching Xiao Yeyang teasing him.
During these three days, Gu Jian and Guo Ruomei were very considerate and did not come to disturb the family of three.
"How long will the war with Western Liao last?" Daohua couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yeyang said while shaking a rattle to amuse his son, "It's not certain yet. Xiao Yechi and Yelu Kangda have joined forces. If one side attacks, the other will soon come to support them."
Daohua was a little worried: "Then you have to be more careful. I'm afraid Xiao Yechi hates you to the core."
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Daohua: "By the way, when you leave this time, please bring some food with you. With food on hand, the soldiers will feel more at ease."
Xiao Yeyang put down the rattle, walked over to Daohua, and hugged her in his arms: "Luckily, I have you, otherwise the army would be short of food, and I would have a headache."
Daohua smiled at Xiao Yeyang and said, "Now you know you've found a treasure by marrying me."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "I've known this for a long time!"
Afterwards, Xiao Yeyang continued to tease his son, while Daohua went to prepare some food and daily necessities for Xiao Yeyang.
The next day, after saying goodbye to Gu Jian, Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang, Xiao Yeyang left.
Seeing Daohua holding Daozi and looking at Xiao Yeyang's departing back reluctantly, Guo Ruomei stepped forward to comfort her: "Marrying Yang'er must have been really hard for you."
Daohua listened and smiled, "Mother, not to mention that Xiao Yeyang is doing great things that benefit the country and the people, just because I have Master, you and Uncle Chu by my side, I really don't feel any hardship."
Guo Ruomei looked pleased: "Good boy."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were having a great time one moment, but the next moment, when Guo Ruomei reached out to take the rice, the smile on Daohua's face could no longer be maintained.
"Give me the child, and go do your thing."
"It's okay, mother. I'm not busy."
Gu Jian, who was standing by, saw this and walked over. He extended his hand and looked at Daohua: "I'm not going to the pharmacy today. I'll take care of the child. You two can take a rest."
Daohua and Guo Ruomei: “.” They don’t want to rest, they want to be with their son (grandson).
Finally, Gu Jian happily took the rice away.
Daohua and Guo Ruomei looked at each other with some melancholy, and then went their separate ways.
After Xiao Yeyang returned to the military camp, whenever he thought of his soft and cute son, he wished to end the war immediately.
"Xiao Yechi must be eliminated!"
Xiao Yeyang stared at the sand table for a long time, and finally formulated a plan, deciding to divide the troops into two groups to deal with Xiao Yechi and Yelu Kangda.
In the next few days, Xiao Yeyang let the generals and soldiers recuperate, and then launched a large-scale attack on the Western Liao army camp.
Western Liao military camp.
After receiving the news, Yelu Kangda and Xiao Yechi looked solemn.
Xiliang no longer lacks food, but after a confrontation, their food supplies are almost exhausted.
Especially in August, the weather is starting to get colder, and they haven't prepared enough cold-resistant supplies.
Yelu Kangda looked at Xiao Yechi and asked, "What do you think of my previous proposal?"
Xiao Yechi frowned and said nothing.
Yelu Kangda's eyes flashed with impatience, but he tried to persuade him earnestly, "Don't you want to kill Xiao Yeyang to avenge your father? You led Xiao Yeyang into the Death Swamp of Western Liao. No matter how capable he is, he won't be able to escape."
Xiao Yechi looked at Yelu Kangda indifferently: "I have also heard about the Death Swamp of your Western Liao. It is so deep that there is no way out. If I lure Xiao Yeyang in, I am afraid I will not survive!"
Yelu Kanda smiled. "So that's what you're worried about. I've prepared several guides for you. They've all been in and out of the Death Swamp safely. With them around, I guarantee you'll be fine."
Seeing that Xiao Yechi still refused to agree, Yelu Kangda sighed and said, "As long as Xiao Yeyang is here, we can't take over Xiliang."
"It's going to get cold soon. The Western Liao royal family doesn't have the ability to supply a large army to fight in the cold winter. We can wait until October at the latest. If we still can't achieve some results, my father will probably let me lead the troops back."
"Think carefully! Once we leave, you won't have the strength to fight against the Daxia army. You'll have no choice but to return to Tatar in disgrace."
Xiao Yechi looked at Yelu Kangda angrily. Since persuasion failed, he resorted to threats!
Seeing him like this, Yelu Kangda didn't get angry. He just smiled and said, "I admit that it's a bit dangerous to let you lead Xiao Yeyang away, but you want to avenge your father and seize the territory of Xiliang. You can't just take no risks, right?"
Xiao Yechi wanted to ask, "Why didn't you lead Xiao Yeyang away?", but he swallowed the words back.
When cooperating with Western Liao, he was the weaker party and had little say.
Yelu Kanda continued, "Think about it carefully. A ceasefire now would only mean a loss of face for me, but what about you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yechi felt like vomiting blood. He had provided a large amount of food and fodder to the Western Liao royal family, and also lost tens of thousands of soldiers.
This time he came out with troops, horses, and food, but it was not so smooth. Many people raised objections. If he returned with nothing, it would be difficult for him to have another chance to deal with Daxia next time.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Yechi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree."
Upon hearing this, Yelu Kangda immediately smiled and said, "That's right. If you and I work together sincerely, why worry about not being able to capture Xiliang?"
After the two of them discussed it, when Xiao Yechi went to the battlefield again, they led their men directly towards Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Ye Chi knew very well that he wanted to kill Xiao Yeyang, and Xiao Yeyang also wanted to kill him. As long as he showed any signs of weakness, Xiao Yeyang would definitely take the opportunity to hunt him down.
After several rounds of fighting between the two sides, Xiao Ye Chi's men were defeated and retreated while protecting Xiao Ye Chi.
Seeing that Xiao Yechi was injured, Xiao Yeyang naturally did not want to give up, so he took his cavalry to chase after him.
On the other hand, in order to cooperate with Xiao Yechi, Yelu Kangda deliberately let himself be surrounded, giving the Daxia army the illusion that he was about to be helpless.
Time slipped away little by little, and it was getting dark. Yelu Kangda finally escaped from the encirclement, but Xiao Yeyang, who was chasing Xiao Yechi, had disappeared.
At Xinxi Military Town, Su Hongxin saw that it was already dark and Xiao Yeyang had not returned yet. He could not hide his worry on his face: "Is Yeyang safe?"
Master Wang also frowned. Lord Xiao had previously asked him to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy, and they both agreed that they had to get rid of Xiao Yechi first in order to cut off Western Liao's food supply.
Now that Lord Xiao really brought people to hunt down Xiao Ye Chi, he also became a little worried.
In any case, going deep into the heart of Western Liao is a very dangerous thing.
Even though he was worried, Master Wang didn't show it on his face. Instead, he looked at Su Hongxin and the other generals and said, "Master Xiao is very capable, he will be fine. Now, what we need to do is manage our soldiers well."
As he said this, he looked at Cao Dan.
"Master Xiao has previously instructed that when he is away, Lieutenant General Cao will lead the troops in attacking the enemy."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other generals immediately started talking.
Master Wang said coldly, "Master Xiao said that anyone who disobeys orders will be dealt with according to military regulations."
Now, silence returned to the military tent again.
On the other side, Xiao Yechi was both relieved and annoyed when he saw that Xiao Yeyang was really chasing him.
Xiao Yeti will not stop until he kills himself!
Seeing the people around him being shot one by one, Xiao Yechi gritted his teeth and ran into the Death Swamp with his men.
