Xiao Guoliang hurriedly returned to the Song camp, first told Yang Ye who had stayed behind about the situation in the Liao camp, and the two began to discuss the next move.

"General Yang, the other party only gave two hours, if His Majesty can't come to the Liao camp in person at the end of the day, he will launch an attack, how should this matter be handled?"

"Lord Prefect, Your Majesty has been escorted out by General Pan, but it is not far away in a short time, and we will continue to delay."

After the two memorized it, they had lunch, counted the time, and began to slowly open the door before three minutes. First, Xiao Guoliang led a team of Imperial Forest Army armor to walk in front, followed by soldiers dressed as emperors, yellow robes and jade belts, riding high-headed horses, and on both sides were chamberlains holding umbrellas. After that, it was a team of elite cavalry led by Yang Ye.

As it was approaching the end of the day, the soldiers of the Liao camp preparing to attack the Song camp had begun to gather outside the camp gate, and the marshal Yelu Hongji led a group of generals to also stand at the camp gate on horseback. Seeing from afar that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was really coming, Yelu Hongji was secretly happy in his heart. Arrange the soldiers in two rows, and a passage flashes in the middle. The soldiers on either side were armed with weapons, the blades of which glistened in the sunlight.

Xiao Guoliang came to the front, hugged his fist at Yelu Hongji on his horse, and then jumped off the horse, stood sideways, and waited for the royal car of the fake emperor behind.

The fake emperor, who had been instructed a long time ago, threw off the saddle and dismounted at a stone's throw away from the Liao camp, surrounded by the team led by Yang Ye, and slowly walked forward. Yelu Hongji and other Liao generals all held their heads high, with a proud look on their faces, and when the fake emperor approached, they did not give a salute, and turned around and walked directly towards the big tent.

Xiao Guoliang and Yang Ye, who came up, glanced at each other, both of them knew that they knew that when they entered the Liao camp this time, the hope of surviving was almost zero. But he still held his head high, followed closely after the false emperor, and slowly came to the big tent of Yelu Hongji. The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who came with them were naturally blocked out of the camp gate by the Liao soldiers. Yelu Hongji and other Liao generals deliberately wanted to insult everyone, but they just put a chair in the middle of the big tent, Xiao Guoliang and Yang Ye stepped forward and helped the fake emperor to sit down, the two stood beside the fake emperor on the left and right, and the three of them happened to face Yelu Hongji after the handsome case.

Yelu Hongji didn't speak, but just motioned to the Liao general next to him to hand over a document, Xiao Guoliang took it, opened it and looked at it, which roughly read:

The Great Song Dynasty needed to cede Yanshan Mansion Road to the Liao State, and offered 5 million taels of silver every year.

In order to delay time, Xiao Guoliang deliberately handed the document to the fake emperor first, and the fake emperor pretended to frown and looked at it for a long time, and Yelu Hongji on the opposite side said:

"If you want the commander to retire, this is the minimum condition, sign it."

waved his hand to the understanding next to him, and understood that he sent pen and ink, and Yang Ye on the side took it easily. Xiao Guoliang opened his mouth and said:

"Marshal Yelu, not to mention the cession of Yanshan and Kyushu to your country, it is only five million taels of silver per year, and the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to take it out no matter what. Now the annual tax revenue of the Great Song Dynasty is only 3 million taels in total, even if it is still 2 million taels away from it, where can we ask for it? ”

"This matter of your affairs is now the end of the hour, give your monarchs and ministers half an hour, if you don't agree to sign, you don't have to leave. I have no choice but to invite you monarchs and ministers to my Liao Kingdom to meet the Empress Dowager Xiao. ”

Now Xiao Guoliang and others know that they will die, so they have no scruples.

"Even if you meet the Empress Dowager Xiao, there is nowhere to scrape together five million taels of silver."

Yelu Hongji looked at the Great Song monarch in front of him, and said after a while:

"How much is appropriate, according to your meaning?"

"Three hundred thousand taels."

Xiao Guoliang This is a typical sky-high asking price, and he paid it back thinly.

"Presumptuous!"

The Liao general next to him loudly scolded Xiao Guoliang.

Just when Xiao Guoliang wanted to speak again, suddenly, a Liao soldier broke in. Kneeling on one knee, he reported to Yeluhongji:

"Marshal Qiyu, there is a cavalry galloping towards the camp from the west."

"How many people? How long does it take to arrive? ”

"The number is unknown, judging from the dust raised, it should be no less than five thousand horsemen."

As soon as the Liao soldiers' words fell, everyone in the tent had already heard the sound of dense horses' hooves coming from far and near.

"Escort the three men to the back tent to meet the enemy."

When Yelu Hongji led the people to leave the big tent, he used a team of Liao soldiers to drive Xiao Guoliang, Yang Ye, and the fake emperor out of the tent. Just after being transferred to the big tent, Yang Ye broke out, snatched the weapon of a Liao soldier, and killed him. Xiao Guoliang helped the fake emperor and hid behind Yang Ye. Helpless, this is in the Liao camp, there are more and more Liao soldiers swarming, how can a Yang Ye be able to resist. In a few breaths, the three of them were besieged.

It's just that the Liao soldiers didn't get the marshal's words, so they didn't attack, otherwise the three of them would have been killed by random arrows. Xiao Guoliang looked up at the blue sky, knowing that this time he was in a catastrophe, and couldn't help but think of his good wife and beloved daughter who was far away in Bianliang. In his heart, he secretly said goodbye to his wife and daughter:

"Good wife, Ran'er, I, Xiao Guoliang, can only look forward to reuniting with you in the next life."

While the three of them were besieged by the Liao Corps, Yang Yanzhao had already killed the Liao camp. From the fleeing Imperial Forest Army outside the camp gate, it was learned that today's Shengshang, his father Yang Ye and Xiao Zhifu have been detained in the Liao camp by the Liao soldiers, Yang Yanzhao couldn't care about the fatigue of not closing his eyes for three days and three nights, and commanded the cavalry behind him, desperately fighting with Yelu Hongji and other Liao soldiers and Liao generals.

It stands to reason that it will take five days for Yang Yanzhao to go back and forth to the Datong Army station. Coincidentally, when Yang Yanzhao still needed a day to arrive at the Datong Army garrison, he met Li Yuliang, the deputy envoy of the Datong Army, who led the brigade of soldiers and horses to Wutai Mountain. After asking, I learned that after Yang Ye's father and son left, Li Yuliang always felt unsure, so he sent a horse from time to time to investigate the movements of the Liao soldiers. When he knew that the Liao soldiers suddenly attacked Wutai Mountain, he immediately led a team to reinforcements, and was just met by Yang Yanzhao, who came to transfer troops. Knowing that the situation was extremely urgent, he headed for Wutai Mountain overnight. When I arrived at Wutai Mountain, it was two days and one night ahead of schedule.

The Datong army had a total of 150,000 people, first Yang Ye brought 50,000, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses, Li Yuliang only left 10,000 horses to garrison the garrison, and the remaining 90,000 were all brought out. Of the 90,000 horses, there were 30,000 cavalry.

"General Li, please lead the infantry to follow, and the junior general will lead the cavalry to take the first step and go to the rescue."

So Yang Yanzhao didn't stop and galloped all the way.

Worried about the safety of the emperor, his father, and the Xiao Governor's Mansion, Yang Yanzhao immediately divided his troops into two routes, involving Yelu Hongji's brigade all the way, and he led 5,000 cavalry to attack the Liao camp from the side. After a fierce battle, he finally broke through the deer firewood outside the Liao camp and rushed in.
