Wanyan Zongbi returned to Manchuria safely, and Wanyan Zongjun knelt in front of the regent's mansion for the first time, and people came and went, but no one dared to say a word.

At this time, Su Ji was trying his best to persuade Kubhai, and Kubi said angrily: "Although Wanyan Zongjun is my second uncle, he is also my enemy, Mr. Su, I respect you, but I can't figure it out, why should this son of the world go to intercede for the enemy?" ”

Su Ji sighed and said: "I have already said what the prince should say, although Wanyan Zongjun has ambitions in his heart, but now the regent is still there, and the people of Dajin are also watching, if you can't tolerate people in your heart at this time, then the people of Dajin will be disappointed, and the regent will also be disappointed." ”

Kubi slammed his fist on the table and said, "Mr. Su, you are resourceful, is there no other good way?" It's so embarrassing. ”

Su Ji shook his head and said: "Shizi, no, this is the best way, if you keep Wanyan Zongjun, you will also save the face of the prince, as long as the prince is fine, then the prince is the biggest beneficiary." ”

In the end, Kubi was persuaded by Su Ji, got up and went to see Yan Zongbi, when Kubi came, Wanyan Zongbi was taking medicine, looking at his father's emaciated cheeks and painful expression, Kubi's eyes couldn't help but turn red, Wanyan Zongbi also saw Kubi at this time, Wanyan Zongbi said amiably: "Here, hurry up and sit down, what is the matter with your father?" ”

"Father, the child is worried about your body, and came to see you, our Dajin are all quacks, my father's illness has not improved for so many days, and the second uncle, I can't catch anyone, it's really a waste." Kubi said viciously.

After listening to this, Yan Zongbi smiled and said: "Okay, you have this filial piety, my father knows, and ah, don't blame your second uncle, your second uncle is too light on the enemy this time, underestimating Xue Ren and Jinyiwei, so he will fall to this point today." ”

"The child understands that the child is here to intercede for the second uncle this time, and the second uncle has been kneeling outside for a day, if he continues, I am afraid it will damage his father's face." Kubi replied immediately.

Wanyan Zongbi almost cried when he heard Kubi's answer, and held Kubi's hand tightly and said, "My son has finally grown up." ”

This is the first time in Wanyan Zongbi's life that he has treated Kubi so affectionately, Kubi was a little uncomfortable, immediately withdrew his hand, scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Father, in fact, this is Mr. Su's idea for the child." ”

Wanyan Zongbi immediately shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, son, you remember, as a superior person, it is the ability to know, employ, and listen to people, this time my son did a good job, listen to the advice of his subordinates in the future, don't go your own way." ”

"Keep it in mind, children......"

The father and son chatted a few more words, and Kubi retired, and after Kubi left, Wanyan Zongbi instructed his housekeeper: "Go and call the second master in." ”

No one knows what the brothers talked about that night, only that Yan Zongjun entered the palace after coming out of the regent palace, and then the queen mother of Beijin had a miscarriage the next day......

At this time, under Gubeikou, the Northern Liao people have been attacking Gubeikou for half a month, but there is no progress, although Zhang Budo only has 20,000 people, but Wei Wuji left enough gunpowder for Zhang Budo when he left, so this is too simple for defending the city, the enemy rushed up and threw a wave of gunpowder, blew up half dead and ran away, and then rushed and threw again, Zhang Budo felt that he was not fighting at all, this was a naked massacre.

In the tent of the Northern Liao Shuai, Yelu Zong's anger was like thunder, his 100,000 troops attacked Gubeikou for fifteen days, and they didn't even break through the city gate.

At this time, Xiao Dahu walked in, and Yelu Zongkang immediately asked, "Uncle, how is it?"

Xiao Dahu shook his head helplessly and said: "Your Highness, I have ordered the soldiers to retreat, there is no way to suppress the gunpowder now, our soldiers have not yet reached the city wall, they were blown back by the gunpowder, and now they will be sent to death in vain." ”

"Alas, is there any news from Beijin?" Yelu Zongkang asked with a sigh.

Xiao Dahu still shook his head and said, "There is no news, the messengers we sent out were also intercepted and killed by the scouts of the Tang Army halfway." ”

"Then it's strange, why can the people sent out for the first time be able to go to Beijin, but not the later ones?" Yelu Zongkang muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Xiao Dahu was empowered, and immediately arranged for someone to find the messenger, Yelu Zongkang asked puzzledly: "Uncle, is there anything else that can't be done here?" ”

Xiao Dahu smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, it is very likely that the messenger has defected, which means that the news we got may not have been given by the people of Beijin." ”

Listening to Xiao Dahu's explanation, Yelu Zongkang also suddenly realized: "Grandma, if this is the case, then the Tang people are too cunning, this is deliberately dragging us here." ”

Sure enough, as Xiao Dahu expected, the soldiers who soon went out to find people came back to report: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiao Shuai, it's not good, the messenger is gone." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Dahu broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it is estimated that we will have to consider retreating." ”

"What's wrong? We have 100,000 people, right? ”

Xiao Dahu sighed and said: "Your Highness, after such a long delay in Gubeikou, the minister estimates that Wei Wuji's main force is very likely to have already circled behind us, if we don't withdraw our troops, I'm afraid we will be attacked by the Tang army on both sides." ”

"Isn't my uncle a little worried, the people of Beijin have made a bloody investment this time, and they have used an army of 170,000, how can they be defeated by the Tang army in just half a month?" Yelu Zongkang shook his head and said.

Xiao Dahu didn't believe in this result either, if the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army was really so strong, then what else would Northern Liao play, just wait for the destruction of the country.

When the two of them were thinking about it, a commander of a thousand men walked in quickly and reported: "Your Highness, Xiao Shuai, the brothers have already caught the messenger, and the messenger has all recruited, saying that he was caught by the Tang army halfway, and it was the Tang army who forced him to do this, and the reason why the Tang army did this was that Beijin had been defeated, and the Tang army was afraid that we would be scared away, and they were ready to use this method to drag us under the Gubei Pass." ”

"What? This time it's really over, the combat power of the Beijin people is stronger than ours, and the number of people is more than ours, so they were defeated by the Tang Army, let's continue to stay here, aren't we sent to death? Yelu Zongkang said in shock.

Xiao Dahu waved his hand, and the captain retreated, and after the captain left, Xiao Dahu immediately comforted: "Your Highness, it's okay, we still have an army of 100,000, and Wei Wuji has a maximum of 50,000 people on hand, so if you want to eat us, Wei Wuji estimates that it will not be easy, and the old minister will arrange it now, even if he dies, His Highness will be sent to the country safely." ”

"Thank you, uncle." Yelu Zongkang took Xiao Dahu's hand and said affectionately.
