The sky was bright, and the two soldiers and horses inside and outside the valley were only more than 200 steps apart, so they could clearly see the enemy's appearance. As Yelu Xiongge inferred, the raids launched on them at night, forcing the Song and Liao armies to retreat to the Xifeng Valley were the soldiers of Yelu Sibuda's subordinates, which made the Xiongge's personal army both start and angry, and all cursed.

The curses spread far outside the valley, which made the Liao soldiers hesitate and feel a little hesitant. It was dark before, and the two sides didn't know the exact identity of the other party even when they were fighting head-on, but now all their identities were exposed, and their determination to kill was not that strong. After all, they were still in the same guise as the guards in Nanjing before, and in a blink of an eye, they were fighting for life and death...

It was not until Sibuda saw that the situation was different and quickly scolded him loudly. The originally somewhat shaken morale of the army was revived, but in a short time they could not attack the people in the valley again.

But even so, the Liao and Song sides in the valley were still serious, because they found that there were indeed no less than a thousand people outside, and the risk they took to forcefully break through was too great. Tong Guan's brows were already locked deeply: "King Xiongge, how should we deal with this situation now? Should we take this opportunity to retreat from the rear?"

Yelu Xiongge, who had been resting in the middle of the night, was rejuvenated, and he looked worried at this moment: "This is the worst choice. However, we can send people to leave from the rear to find someone to rescue him. However, this place is two or three hundred miles away from Nanjing. It may take several days to go there and we may not have been able to last so long."

Sun Tu, who was leaning against the rocks to nourish the spirit, opened his eyes and spoke when he heard this: "What King Xiongge said is so much. We almost completely cut off food and we don't have much wine left. We can still support it in one or two days. It's difficult to get more. Once the food and water are cut off, the fighting spirit of the soldiers will completely collapse. At that time, they can catch us all in one go as long as they rush over."

"What should I do?" Tong Guan and Yelu Xiongge were completely helpless at this moment, and they couldn't retreat. Attacking was not an opponent, and defending to the death was even more deadly. They found that they were really in desperate situation this time.

In fact, Sun Tu has a way to resolve this desperate situation. He also had a large amount of food in the warehouse of Jie Zhongjie. Not to mention the hundreds of people here, even ten times more. As long as the food is taken out, it will be enough for the army to use it for a month or two. However, this is the foundation for his survival. He will not show it easily until the last moment. And if he really does this, there will be great trouble later, and it is not what Sun Tu hopes to see.

At this time, Tong Guan said again: "King Xiongge, since you are the King of the South Court, you always have to contact Nanjing. Now that our camp is under attack, you have lost your whereabouts. Will the Nanjing send troops to rescue you in time?"

Yelu Xiongge smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My Great Liao is different from your Song Kingdom. I often go out to hunt for several months. Even if I contact Nanjing for a few days, they will not take it too seriously. Even if I am in Nanjing this time, I am the same, and he will not be suspicious."

Now, there was no hope of finding foreign aid at the last point, and the uneasiness on Tong Guan's face became more and more obvious: "What should I do? Do you really have to take the risk and rush out?" Now it seems that there is only one way left.

And just then, Sun Tu suddenly said: "If you really want to take risks, there may be another way that can be feasible. We can kill us unexpectedly. As long as we take down Yelu Sibuda, the enemy general, we will not have to worry about not being able to kill us!"

"This is much more difficult than breaking through directly. Sibuda is already very skilled in martial arts, and he is still among the thousands of troops. Even if you are the bravest of the three armies, you will never be able to do it. If you go there, you will die in vain..." Tong Guan immediately shook his head and opposed it.

"It is naturally difficult to kill like this, but what if someone can distract themselves from their minds?" Sun Tu glanced at Yelu Xiongge: "King Xiongge should be able to do this."

Yelu Xiongge immediately understood his intention: "Do you want me to come forward to negotiate with him and then take this opportunity to kill him?"

"Yes, the enemy is not far apart. As long as the horse is fast enough, you will be sure to succeed. As for his bravery, I am confident that I can stop him in a few tricks when I attacked!" Sun Tu said with a flash of splendor in his eyes.

Tong Guan and Yelu Xiongge looked at each other for a while, and finally the latter said first: "At this point, this is the best countermeasure, just fight this! I came forward to talk to him, pretend to be my servant and act according to the opportunity!" As the king of the Southern Court of Liao Kingdom, he was quite brave and courageous, and he dared to take risks with his own life.

Since he had agreed to take risks, Tong Guan naturally couldn't object anymore. He could only pull Sun Tulai to encourage him a few more words, and promised some benefits, and then asked Sun Tu to go and change his clothes to prepare for the next action.

However, Sun Tu did not plan to take action at this time. At this time, the sun was in the east, just in line with them, and his vision was affected. He had to wait until the sunlight turned in the afternoon before acting. At that time, the weather was on his side, and he could succeed in one blow.

The whole morning passed by little while both sides were guarding themselves but enduring them. By noon, smoke from the Liao soldiers ahead had already risen, and they were prepared and naturally had food. However, the Song and Liao sides guarding the valley could only be hungry, and drinking at most a small sip of wine was considered to satisfy their hunger.

When he knew that Sun Tu was going to take the risk to Nayelu Sibuda, Wu Song and Lu Da said with some concern: "Sanlang, why don't we act with you?"

Sun Tu looked at the injuries on their bodies, and without much hesitation, he shook his head and rejected them: "You are not seriously injured, so don't take this risk." These two men are indeed powerful in the field battle. None of the ordinary Liao people is their enemy, but their riding skills are really bad.

When everyone fled last night, the two of them fell behind several times. If they hadn't been good at martial arts and fighting to the death, they would have died on the way to escape. But even so, they had suffered multiple traumas, one of them had four arrows, the other had six arrows, and some were injured by swords and guns... It was a good thing that the two were strong enough that they saved their lives. But at this time, Sun Tu could not let them take the risk to kill the enemy.

Seeing that he was determined and was indeed not seriously injured, the two were worried that they would help him if they went there, so they finally accepted the arrangement. At the same time, after experiencing this incident, they also learned the role of riding in the army and decided that as long as they could go back safely this time, they would definitely practice riding in the future.

Ignoring what the two of them were thinking, Sun Tu had already taken the time to rest. It was not until the sun was west and shining on the other side that he nodded to Yelu Xiongge, then pretended to be his personal servant, and then rode his horse out of the valley.

The two sides that were originally confronted were slightly turbulent with Yelu Xiongge's move. In the surprised gaze of the Liao soldiers on the opposite side, Yelu Xiongge walked forward a few more steps before he grabbed the war horse and shouted: "Sibuda, do you dare to come out to talk to me?" Xiongjian's voice came from afar, full of momentum.

At this time, he was still 150 steps away from the enemy and was outside the range of the Liao army's archer. Behind him, in addition to Sun Tu, the posing guard, there were thirty or forty personal soldiers. As soon as there was something strange, these people would protect him and retreat back to the valley as soon as possible.

Sibuda didn't expect that Xiongge would dare to come forward to find him at this time. Although he was a little surprised, he still did not avoid it. He soon walked out of the formation on a horse, squinted his eyes and looked at Yelu Xiongge: "Xiongge, it seems that you are injured too?"

"Hmph, it's just that the eagle was pecked by a sparrow when she didn't check it for a while, it doesn't matter." Yelu Xiongge was happy when he saw him coming out, but he was not forgiven: "Sibuda, as an official of my South Court, you are actually in trouble, aren't you afraid of death without a place to bury him? And you are all warriors of my Great Liao Dynasty, but now you rebel with Sibuda. Not only will you die, but you will also affect your family members after death. Have you ever thought about how severe the consequences will be?"

Yelu Xiongge has been the king of the Southern Court for many years and has a great reputation in Nanjing. After speaking, these ordinary Liao soldiers really showed signs of entanglement and fear. Because in their eyes, he is an extremely noble existence and can only look up to him. How dare he attack him?

Seeing this, Sibuda's face sank, and immediately shouted loudly: "Xiongge, don't want to use such words to disrupt our morale, let alone use these words to quibble for yourself. Don't you know how much mistake you have made? Don't you know why Sibuda sent troops to kill you?"

After pausing, he turned around and looked around the soldiers and horses, and shouted: "Did no one notice the conspiracy that you colluded with the Song people and tried to sell my entire Nanjing City to them?" As soon as this was said, everyone was uproaring. The Liao soldiers, who were already a little guilty, immediately showed hostility towards Xiongge.

"You are talking nonsense and squirting with blood!" Yelu Xiongge suddenly became annoyed and refuted loudly.

Sibuda straightened his back at this time and quickly replied: "Haha, you are panicked. You must have never thought that your conspiracy would be discovered by me, right? Do you really think that you have colluded with the Song people in private and can you hide it from everyone? And this time, you not only want to sell Nanjing to the Song people, but also reveal all the details of the army's defense in the south of the Great Liao Dynasty to the Song people. Do you dare to say that they did not get the defense map?"

When this was said, not only Sibuda's subordinates, but also Xiongge's personal soldiers became a little vague, and Yelu Xiongge's expression changed even more. Why did this guy actually hear about this?
