"How would I know?"    

"I wouldn't have fought with the Liao Army if I had known earlier. "    

"It's fine as long as you don't fight? Didn't you see that they were already coming towards us with weapons last night? Did you think that they were here to chat with you?"    

"Then what should we do now?"    

"How would I know?"    

At this moment, in the camp of Song Dynasty, many high-ranking generals were gathered together, frowning as they discussed what to do next.    

The commander was gone. This was something that had been confirmed. Yesterday, Liao Army admitted that they had killed their commander, and both sides had a fight. The losses were not small. However, this matter was not over yet. The Liao Army had never suffered such a loss before. How could they tolerate it?    

No matter how they thought about it, they felt that it was impossible!    

Because of this, the battle between the two sides only stopped temporarily, and it would start again very soon.    

However, after the battle last night, Song Jun's side once again realized the terror of Liao Army. Last night, they were still prepared for the battle that happened when the opponent was unprepared. Furthermore, the sky was very dark, which helped to shorten the strength of both sides.    

However, even so, the number of casualties on their side was greater than that of the Liao Army.    

Currently, the sky was bright. The Liao Army had already regrouped their troops. Once they were prepared to launch an attack, no one on Song Jun's side would think that they could withstand it.    

Because of this, the atmosphere in the entire tent was not good. At this point in the battle, if they wanted to stop fighting, it was already very difficult. Of course, they were willing. However, the Liao Army would never let this go. They definitely wouldn't let this matter go just like that.    

Until now, none of them had come up with a good idea.    

At this moment, a soldier came in and reported, "Reporting to the generals, the messenger from the Western Xia Army requests an audience."    

"The messenger from the Western Xia Army? Why are they here? I won't see them!" Someone said impatiently. They and the Western Xia Army had always been hostile towards each other. Besides, the Western Xia Army had killed a lot of their people last night. The relationship between the two parties wasn't good. At this time, they naturally didn't want to see the people of the Western Xia Army.    

"Wait!" Another general said, "Bring the messenger of Western Xia Army in."    

The messenger hesitated and did not know who to listen to. The commander was dead, so the remaining generals did not have enough authority to lead the army. They were basically all at the same level, and their orders were different. The messenger did not know what to do.    

"Why did you see the messenger of Western Xia Army?" The general who didn't want to see the messenger of Western Xia Army said.    

"At this time, the reason why they sent the messenger here is definitely not because they want to fight with us. Don't forget, we are enemies with the Western Xia Army, and the Liao Army and the Western Xia Army are enemies as well. Besides, as long as the commander of the Western Xia Army isn't an idiot... You will understand that the Liao Army is more threatening than us. If my guess is correct, they have sent an envoy at this time. They probably want to form an alliance with us and attack the Liao Army first. As for the matter between us, we'll settle it after we defeat the Liao Army! " The general next to him said.    

"That should be the case." Another general also said.    

"But last night, their people killed many of our brothers." The general who had opposed this said unhappily.    

"In this world, there are no eternal enemies. Last night, they killed our people, and our people also killed their people. Everyone is thinking from their standpoint, and... Right now, our biggest enemy is the Liao Army. We'll talk about it after we defeat the Liao Army. The matter of them killing our brothers... Of course, we won't let it go just like that. " The general said.    

Everyone present understood that the three forces in the vicinity of this battlefield... They were all hostile to each other, and no one was worthy of complete trust. However, the Liao Army was obviously stronger than them. Now, the Liao Army was going to fight the Great Song and West Xia. With this common enemy, between the Great Song and the Western Xia Army... There's the foundation of an alliance.    

The other generals could understand the reason behind this. Because of this, even though many of them didn't have a good impression of the Western Xia Army, they still summoned the messenger of the Western Xia Army.    

The words of the messenger of the Western Xia Army weren't out of everyone's expectation. He had indeed come under Huang Feng's orders to form an alliance with the Great Song. Everyone had a common enemy. Obviously, in Huang Feng's heart... He also felt that the Liao Army was more dangerous than Song Jun. It was even more difficult to deal with them. Only the army of Western Xia Army and Great Song would work together. It was only logical to eliminate the Liao Army first.    

"We can form an alliance, but we can't get too close to each other." The general who insisted on meeting the messenger of the Western Xia Army said.    

"Of course, that's not a problem. My son-in-law also said the same thing." The messenger of Western Xia Army nodded and said, "My son-in-law said that Liao Army will attack you very soon. When the time comes, you will hold them off from the front while we attack from the back. Let's attack the Liao Army together, only then will we be able to defeat them."    

The general of the Song Dynasty nodded. If that was the case, it wouldn't do them any harm. In any case, the Liao Army was going to attack them. Now, someone was ambushing the Liao Army from behind. They were very happy to be able to face the pressure head-on.    

"But..." The messenger of Western Xia Army continued, "West Xia is a small country with few soldiers and poor equipment. We have used up a lot of weapons in order to defend the city. Hence, my son-in-law said that he hopes that your country can provide us with some food and weapons."    

"What?" Immediately, some of the generals were unhappy, "That's your own business. Why do you want it from us?"    

Song Dynasty did not lack food and weapons. The current Great Song... Although the military's combat strength was weak, the economy was developing very well. The army did not lack money. They had sufficient grain and weapons. Even if it was given to the Western Xia Army, it would not be a problem.    

However, the Western Xia Army was the enemy of the Great Song. If they were given weapons and rations, once the Liao Army was defeated, both sides would have a high chance of fighting each other. Under such circumstances, they had to give the Western Xia Army food and weapons. The generals of the Song Dynasty were naturally dissatisfied.    

"We are lacking." The messenger of Western Xia Army said, "My son-in-law said that if we don't have weapons and grain, we can't act. We can only defend the city."    

"Are you threatening us?" The general squinted his eyes and said, "Don't forget that the Liao Army is also your enemy. If we are defeated, the Liao Army will definitely attack you. At that time, you will all be finished!"    

"I won't trouble you all to worry about that. My son-in-law has his own plans." The messenger of the Western Xia Army said, "If it really doesn't work, we can surrender to the Liao Kingdom. In any case, our West Xia has always been effective. We are now under the control of the mighty Liao Army. It's not that we can't accept it, but your Great Song... Originally, the Heavenly Dynasty was being suppressed by the Liao Army. I'm sure I'm not feeling good about it. I'm sure I'm not willing to join the Liao Kingdom, am I right?"    

At this point, the messenger of the Western Xia Army looked at the changing expressions on everyone's faces. He continued, "Once all of you are wiped out by the Liao Army, the Liao Army will most likely turn around. Continue to attack the Great Song. At that time, there will really be no more Great Song that can stop the Liao Army's troops. We can only let the Liao Army take whatever they want. If we help them... It is still possible for them to defeat the Liao Army. Once the mighty Liao Army is defeated... It would be a great contribution to everyone. Everyone can think of a way to get promoted and make a fortune."    

Hearing this, the eyes of the Song Army generals lit up. Indeed, if they could defeat the mighty Liao Kingdom, then to them... It was definitely a great achievement. One should know that the Liao Army had invaded the Great Song. There was still no place in the Song Dynasty that could stop them. In the end, they could only beg for peace in humiliation.    

Under such circumstances, if they could defeat the Liao Army, how much face would they have? The Emperor and the ministers above would definitely reward them handsomely.    

And this was only the cost of some food and weapons.    

The Song Army generals looked at each other, but they all nodded. Finally reaching a consensus, they said to the messenger from the Western Xia Army, "Alright, the grain and weapons can be given to you. However, you have to play the role you deserve. Don't overdo it."    

"Of course, just like the generals just said, the Liao Kingdom is not only the enemy of the Great Song, but also the enemy of West Xia. If we can defeat them and not surrender to them... We will never refuse. " The messenger of Western Xia Army said.    

Both sides reached an agreement, and the army of Song Dynasty immediately sent grain and weapons to Western Xia. The army from the Western Xia also sent troops to help, in order to complete this task as soon as possible. They all knew that the people of Liao Kingdom wouldn't be able to wait for long.    

Huang Feng had sent this messenger precisely to obtain some benefits. In fact, even if the army of Song Dynasty didn't provide any support, Huang Feng would not just sit there and do nothing. His eyes were not so short-sighted. He wouldn't choose to surrender to the Liao Kingdom either. After all, he had killed a commander of the Liao Kingdom. Furthermore, he had also defeated fifty thousand soldiers of the enemy. If he surrendered... His fate wouldn't be any better.    

Therefore, the reason Huang Feng sent this envoy was because he wanted to obtain some benefits. If he couldn't get any benefits, it wouldn't be a big deal. He wouldn't suffer any losses anyway. Besides... Furthermore, he wouldn't think that the Song Dynasty had given him any assistance. He was an ally that was absolutely trustworthy. In fact, everyone had their own plans.    

The actions of the Great Song and West Xia could not be hidden from the people of the Liao Kingdom. After all, the movement on their side was quite big. Because of this, they sped up the preparation work before the war and gave the other two parties as little chances as possible.
