Yelu Longxu had expected that he might lose, but as soon as he started to fight to this point, he really couldn't accept it.

"Poof......

Yelu Longxu was in a hurry, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The body slowly fell backwards.

"Father?!"

Yelu Zongzhen looked shocked and shouted in horror.

Yelu Longxu fell down on the dragon chair, and pulled him down to the dragon chair.

As the father and son pulled, a long cotton rope also appeared between the father and son.

It turned out that Yelu Longxu had long been paralyzed, and he couldn't sit up at all.

The reason why he was able to sit on the dragon chair was because there was a cotton rope tied around the waist of the father and son.

Yelu Longxu sat up by the true strength of his son Yelu Zong.

Now that he is back, he is pulling Yelu Zongzhen and falling backwards.

Father and son collapsed on the dragon chair.

The guards around wanted to scream, they wanted to shout.

But they were stopped by Yelu Longxu's personal eunuch, not only that, but Yelu Long's real personal eunuch also let them stay around the dragon chair and block their father and son.

The father and son fell somewhat suddenly, and the eunuchs and guards covered it up, so few people saw it, and it didn't cause much commotion.

Yelu Zongzhen crawled in front of Yelu Longxu and shouted in horror, "Father, are you okay?" ”

Lying on the dragon chair, Yelu Longxu's face was like gold paper, and he felt that he was already on the verge of dying.

He has reached the point where he has run out of oil and dried up, and the reason why he is still alive is completely supported by one breath.

Yelu Longxu heard Yelu Zong's exclamation, and his lips moved slightly.

Yelu Zongzhen hurriedly put his ear to Yelu Longxu's mouth.

Yelu Longxu's lips squirmed, "The general trend has gone, I am too conceited, it is I who buried your country, and now we are afraid that we will not be able to escape."

Even if we escape from here, we won't be able to escape.

The Song Kingdom will definitely not give you the opportunity for my father and son to escape from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

If we have to escape, I am afraid that we will escape from the gate, and there will be no people left around us, and we will have no power to protect ourselves.

Outside the gate is now in chaos, and there are still Song soldiers entrenched near Shangjing, and there is no power to protect themselves, even if they flee back, it will be useless.

I will find a way to make a living for you, and leave you some troops to protect yourself.

You ordered Xiao Xunbu to press the whole army.

When the war is over, I'll tell you what to do. ”

Yelu Zongzhen's eyes were red, and he slowly got up and helped Yelu Longxu to sit up again.

After Yelu Longxu sat up, he did not speak, but only glanced at the eunuch.

The eunuch gritted his teeth, took out a box of rouge from his cuffs, and slowly applied it to Yelu Longxu's face.

After Yelu Longxu applied rouge, his cheeks became a little redder.

It looks a little better.

Yelu Zongzhen helped Yelu Longxu, with tears in his eyes, with a crying voice, and said in a low voice: "Father has an order, the whole army is pressing!" ”

The eunuch nodded solemnly, ordered the surrounding guards to return to their respective positions, and then took small steps to find Xiao Xunbu, who was commanding the battle, and quickly conveyed Yelu Longxu's will to Xiao Xunbu.

After Xiao Xunbu heard Yelu Longxu's will, his face was very ugly.

Yelu Longxu can see the situation on the battlefield clearly, how can Xiao Xunbu not see through.

The war has entered a disadvantage from the beginning, and it is a big disadvantage, and there is hardly any chance of turning the tables around.

In this case, it should be retreated, not fought to the death with the Song State.

But Yelu Longxu chose to fight to the death with the Song State, and he could only follow Yelu Longxu's orders.

Xiao Xunbu sent Liao soldiers to press the whole army.

Hundreds of thousands of Liao soldiers rushed to the battlefield in one go, and the battlefields on both flanks were stabilized.

But the frontal battlefield is still being pressed and fought.

In the face of the supply of firearms to the Song State, no matter how many Liao soldiers there are, it seems to be useless.

Under the cover of that dense firepower network, there is hardly a hole for people to exploit.

Xiao Xunbu had to send slingers and crossbowmen to shoot at the Song soldiers in order to relieve the pressure on the charging Liao soldiers on the battlefield.

On the head of Youzhou City.

Zhao Zhen, Cao Wei, and Kou Ji looked at the battlefield a little wrong.

"It's already a big disadvantage, why would the Liao soldiers still press the whole army?!"

Zhao Zhen asked with a puzzled expression.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison.

They also couldn't understand the operation of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.

Cao Wei groaned and said, "Since Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sent someone to kill us, then we have no reason to be polite. If we can completely annihilate the Liao army outside Youzhou City, not only will we take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun without much effort, but we will also have no effort to capture the rest of the Liao State. ”

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji nodded in unison.

Cao Wei ordered: "Let me fight with my hands and feet, kill as many as I can." ”

With Cao Wei's order, the offensive of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses became more rapid.

The Liao soldiers were being consumed at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The battle continued from morning to evening, and the number of Liao soldiers was almost weakened to a point of consternation.

The Liao soldiers wanted to withdraw from the battlefield several times, but they were forced back to the battlefield by the soldiers and horses sent by the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.

Cao Wei had long lost the intention of killing, he looked at the battlefield in astonishment, and said in disbelief: "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu seems to be forcing Liao soldiers to go to the battlefield for us to kill, what is his plan?" ”

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji were also at a loss, completely unaware of what Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was thinking.

It stands to reason that the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty have occupied an absolute advantage, and the Liao soldiers have almost no chance of turning the tables.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu still did not retreat, and he was still fighting with the Great Song Dynasty.

He is not afraid that the family foundation of the Liao State will be destroyed, and when the time comes, Yelu Zong will not even have the strength to defend the country?

"Mingjin!"

After night fell completely, Cao Wei chose Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

After the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty withdrew from the battlefield.

Zhao Zhen, Cao Wei, and Kou Ji went down the city wall and arrived at the palace in Youzhou City.

Chong Shiheng, Di Qing, and Gao Chu Gong also entered the palace one after another.

As soon as he entered the palace, after Gao Chugong gave Zhao Zhen a salute, he shouted loudly: "We obviously annihilated the strength of the Liao soldiers in one fell swoop, why don't we fight?" ”

Three eyes fell on Gao Chu Gong.

Gao Ji froze in place for a moment, and didn't dare to say a word again.

Zhao Zhen, Cao Wei, and Kou Ji retracted their gaze after seeing that Gao Di Gong had stopped.

Zhao Zhen sat on the main seat and was silent.

Cao Wei said in a deep voice: "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's behavior is very abnormal, I suspect that he has a plan, but I don't know what he is plotting. ”

Kou Ji pondered and said: "Our army now has the advantage, and the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu has almost no chance of turning the tables. So even if he has a plan, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the war. ”

After listening to Cao Wei and Kou Ji's words, Chong Shiheng and Di Qing also nodded one after another, indicating that Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu might have a plan.

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "From morning to noon, the Liao soldiers are really fighting against us. I could feel the pressure. But after noon, the Liao soldiers seemed to have been sent to death on their own initiative, and I didn't feel any pressure at all. ”

Chong Shiheng nodded and said, "I feel the same way!" ”

Gao Zuo Gong cautiously glanced at the three big guys he couldn't provoke, and then said uncertainly: "Could it be that the Yelu Longxu people are dying and their brains are confused?" ”

The eyes of Zhao Zhen, Cao Wei, and Kou Ji fell on Gao Chu Gong again.

Takashi's body froze again.

Zhao Zhen said unceremoniously: "You go down to rest first." ”

Gao Zhi Gong cried and mourned, gave a salute, and obediently withdrew from the palace.

Cao Wei said faintly: "This person, the older he gets, the more confused he becomes. ”

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji nodded approvingly.

The old fool that Cao Wei said refers to Gao Di Gong, not Yelu Longxu.

After Cao Wei finished evaluating Gao Chu Gong, he didn't bother to distract Gao Chu Gong anymore.

Several people got together to discuss what the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu had.

After discussing it for a long time, I didn't come up with a single reason.

It's coming.

Cao Wei sighed, "Since you can't guess, then don't guess." I gave them a night to breathe, and I gave them a night to escape. Before dawn tomorrow, if we still can't guess the plot of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, I will order the soldiers and horses to annihilate the Liao soldiers outside the city.

If we can catch Yelu Longxu and his son, we can ask them personally. ”

Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji and the others nodded in agreement.

Just when Zhao Zhen was about to tell everyone to go back and rest.

Chen Lin hurriedly entered the palace and reported in a low voice: "Official, there is a Liao envoy outside the city who wants to see you. ”

Zhao Zhen said suspiciously: "During the war, what did the Liao envoy come to do?" ”

Cao Wei pondered and said, "It may be for peace." ”

Zhao Zhen said faintly: "Is it too late to seek peace now?" ”

Kou Ji looked at Cao Wei and Zhao Zhen and said, "We have enough strength to defeat them, and there seems to be no reason to accept their request for peace." ”

Zhao Zhen and Cao Wei nodded in unison.

Since the Great Song Dynasty had the strength to defeat the Liao soldiers in one fell swoop, there was no need to negotiate peace with the Liao State.

The Great Song Dynasty had enough troops to beat the Liao State.

The Great Song Dynasty also had enough financial resources to spend with the Liao State.

There is no reason to negotiate peace with Liao.

Cao Wei asked, "Then refuse?!" ”

Koji didn't speak.

Zhao Zhen shook his head and smiled: "No, I want to hear what they have to say." ”

Cao Wei and Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen suspiciously.

Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "When my father sent Cao Yu to negotiate peace, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu probably said the same, right?" ”

Cao Wei muttered, but didn't speak.

If he remembered correctly, when the Liao soldiers went south, it was Xiao Yanyan, the empress dowager of Chengtian of the Liao State, and Han Derang, the cheap son of Yelu Longxu, who were in charge, and there was nothing wrong with Yelu Longxu at all.

Cao Weiming knew that Zhao Zhen's words were wrong, but he didn't open his mouth to refute it.

It's because he realized one thing.

Zhao Zhen mentioned Zhao Heng and mentioned peace talks.

I should think I want to be ashamed.

It should be that they want to meet the Liao envoys and let them taste the humiliation of the Great Song Dynasty when they were in the Tanyuan Alliance.

"Then meet ......"

Kou Ji also saw Zhao Zhen's thoughts, so he followed Zhao Zhen's words and said a word.

With a decision, Zhao Zhen instructed Chen Lin to summon the Liao envoy.

Chen Lin left half of the envoy before he appeared in the palace with the Liao envoy.

After the Liao envoy entered the palace, he respectfully saluted Zhao Zhen, and bowed very sincerely: "Xiao Xunbu, the envoy of the lower state, see His Majesty the Emperor of the upper state......

Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, and Cao Wei were all surprised.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but speak: "I didn't expect that you, the prime minister of the Northern Mansion of Liao, would personally serve as an envoy. ”

Xiao Xunbu said very humbly: "As a foreign minister, he is barely qualified to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and it is rude to be replaced by someone else." ”

Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with Xiao Xunbu's attitude, he sat up straight, and asked, "The Liao Emperor sent you to see me, why did you do so?" ”

Xiao Xunbu saluted again and said, "The foreign minister is only a deputy envoy, so he doesn't know the purpose of this envoy. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The faces of everyone in the palace changed.

Zhao Zhen stared at Xiao Xunbu and asked, "You mean, you're just a deputy envoy?!" ”

The prime minister of the northern province of Liao served as the deputy envoy, and only two people could afford the identity of the chief envoy.

Xiao Xunbu nodded solemnly.

A look of surprise flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes, and he looked at Cao Wei and Kou Ji.

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and ordered, "Chong Shiheng and Di Qing, you two go down to rest first." ”

Through Xiao Xunbu's words just now, Chong Shiheng and Di Qing judged that there was an earth-shattering event to happen, and they had the intention to stay.

But Kou Ji spoke, and Zhao Zhen seemed to have acquiesced, so they couldn't continue to stay in the palace.

After bowing, the two of them withdrew from the palace.

Zhao Zhen instructed Chen Lin: "Remove the palace ladies and eunuchs in the palace." ”

Chen Lin agreed, and asked all the palace ladies and eunuchs who were waiting in the palace to withdraw from the palace.

After Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji finished everything, Zhao Zhen stared at Xiao Xunbu and said, "I want to know, who is the envoy of the Liao Kingdom?" ”

Xiao Xunbu took a deep breath, faced Zhao Zhen and said, "His Majesty the Emperor wants to know who the envoy is, he just needs to change someone and put the envoy in." ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Xiao Xunbu deeply and ordered: "Chen Lin! You go! ”

Chen Lin agreed and was about to leave.

I heard Zhao Zhen order again: "By the way, let people block the news." ”

Chen Lin agreed, and rushed to the gate of Youzhou City with people.

After a full envoy.

A sedan chair carried by eight people fell at the gate of the palace.

After the sedan chair fell, the people in the sedan chair did not come out, Chen Lin hurried into the palace, and whispered in Zhao Zhen's ear in Zhao Zhen's questioning look.

After Zhao Zhen heard Chen Lin's whisper, his face changed again and again.

At first, there was a look of amazement, and then a solemn face.

Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on Kou Ji and Cao Wei, and said in a heavy voice: "You two should go out." ”

Kou Ji and Cao Wei's eyes widened, and their expressions were incredulous.

"No...... No way?! ”

Cao Wei shouted in shock.

Zhao Zhen didn't pay attention to Cao Wei, but instructed Chen Lin: "Prepare court clothes for me!" ”

When Cao Wei heard this, he knew that what he guessed might be true.

Cao Wei immediately got up and tidied up his clothes.

The same is true for Koji.

The two hurried out of the palace and rushed to the sedan chair outside the palace.

Looking at the sedan chair that was quietly parked somewhere, the two of them had mixed feelings in their hearts.

But the two did not speak.

He just walked to the sedan chair, arched his hands, bent down, and said nothing.

Seeing the two of them give a salute.

All the guards outside the palace bowed in unison.

Xiao Xunbu had already left the palace early and stood by the sedan chair.

After Kou Ji and Cao Wei gave the salute, they let out a long sigh, saluted the sedan chair, lifted the sedan curtain, and took the people inside out of the way.

However, a dry hand stretched out from the sedan chair to stop Xiao Xunbu.

Immediately.

One foot stepped out of the sedan chair.

An old figure, dressed in rags and linen clothes, appeared outside the sedan chair.

Stood firmly on the ground.

Although Cao Wei and Kou Ji had already guessed who the person was, when the person stood in front of them, their faces still showed surprise.

"Puff ......"

Xiao Xunbu knelt on the ground, stared at the man, and let out a sad cry with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! ”

That person was none other than Yelu Longxu, the emperor of Liao.

Since ancient times, kings have not seen kings.

If they meet, one of them must be the king of the dead country.

Now that the Liao State is not dead, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu appeared in Youzhou City, which was occupied by the Great Song Dynasty.

It can be said to be the first time in the world.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji lowered their waists after seeing Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.

It's not that they're afraid of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, or that they're afraid of the strength of the Liao State.

They are just simply expressing their respect to an emperor.

Other than that, it doesn't mean anything else.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stood in front of the palace gate, looking at the familiar architectural style, slightly distracted.

After staring at the palace for a long time, he fell on Cao Wei and Kou Ji.

"Cao Wei, I thought I could live ...... longer than you"

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sighed.

Cao Wei bowed and said, "His Majesty the Emperor said with a smile. ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Kou Ji and said, "Kou Ji, I thought you were just a person with a little talent. ”

Kou Ji bowed down and said, "You see people so accurately. ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu smiled self-deprecatingly, and took a step into the palace.

Xiao Xunbu quickly got up from the ground and followed the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji glanced at each other quickly, and quickly got up to follow.

All the way to the main hall of the palace.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stepped in.

Inside the main hall.

Zhao Zhen wore court clothes and sat upright on the seat.

Beside him, too, a chair was placed.

Two seats, one left and one right, do not differ from each other.

In the main hall.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu looked at Zhao Zhen with a complicated expression.

The same is true for Zhao Zhen.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

Zhao Zhen slowly spoke, "I really didn't expect that you would dare to come to Youzhou City alone. ”

Liaohuang Yelu Longxu's approach is really unbelievable.

Even if this matter is said, no one in the world will reply.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu heard Zhao Zhen's words, took a long breath, and said self-deprecatingly: "I didn't expect ...... either."

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid, didn't I take the opportunity to take you?" ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu smiled and said, "You won't, and it doesn't make any sense for you to take me." For before I came, I had passed the throne to my son, Yelu Zongzhen.

Now I'm just a person with no identity. ”

Zhao Zhen was slightly startled, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that you actually have the courage to pass on the throne." ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said calmly: "The dying person, it is not beneficial to occupy that position again. ”

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and asked, "Why did you come to see me?" ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Zhao Zhen without saying a word, and after looking at Zhao Zhen for a long time, he slowly bent his knees.

"Poof!"

Zhao Zhen stood up instantly, and the look of disbelief on his face was difficult to hide.

Outside the temple.

Xiao Xunbu couldn't cry anymore.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji opened their mouths in shock, unable to express their feelings.

"No!"

Zhao Zhen shouted loudly, obviously a little out of shape.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji almost jumped into the main hall, and set up the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu on the left and right.

If the Liao State is destroyed.

Even if the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu knelt upright, no one would pity him for half a point.

But the Liao State is not dead now.

If Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu really knelt down for Zhao Zhen, not only his majesty would be swept away, but Zhao Zhen's majesty would also be swept away.

And the idea of the supremacy of imperial power will collapse cleanly in an instant.

What's more.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was once a brother of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty.

One name is decades.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's big gift, Zhao Zhen couldn't bear it.

Zhao Zhen didn't let go of his heart until he saw Kou Ji and Cao Wei controlling Liaohuang Yelu Longxu, he gritted his teeth and asked Liaohuang Yelu Longxu, "What are you doing?!" ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said in a hoarse voice: "Please...... For my deferential sake, leave your godbrother a way to live......"

Zhao Zhen's face changed instantly.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji's faces were also wrong.

They had already guessed that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu had a plan, but they didn't expect that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was so rigid, and he actually rushed to Zhao Zhen in person to give in when he couldn't turn the tables.

In order to give Yelu Zongzhen and Liao Guo, in exchange for some vitality.

Liaohuang Yelu Longxu's approach has exceeded the cognition of the three of them.

The three of them had never seen such a scene, and they had never seen such a scene in the history books.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen's face changed drastically and he was speechless, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu continued: "The warriors who can fight in the Liao Kingdom have all died on the battlefield today. All that's left now is a few forces to protect your godbrother and not pose the slightest threat to you.

Let him live. ”

Zhao Zhen stared at Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, still speechless.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu continued: "During my reign, the Liao soldiers did cause a lot of killings to the Great Song Dynasty. If you feel that this murder needs to be repaid, you can take my life at any time.

I beg you to let your godbrother go. ”

Zhao Zhen didn't know what to say.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji didn't know what to say.

No one ever thought it would happen to this point.

No one has ever thought about what to do with the current situation.

Seeing this, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu wanted to continue to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao Zhen strongly.

"I never thought that an emperor could do that. Uncle Huang, you used to be the emperor who dominated the world, and in order to find a way out for my imperial brother, you actually did this part.

I wondered, is it worth it? ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Zhao Zhen and said seriously: "My imperial brother, when he dies, he will hand over the throne to you, not to those nephews who he once raised in the palace and are ready to be the prince."

He knows that his nephews are older, and when they sit on the throne, they will be more stable than you.

He knows that you are very young, and after you sit on the throne, you will be controlled by your eldest lady and courtiers for many years.

He still passed the throne to you.

Did you ask him, is it worth it? ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he was silent for a long time, and said with difficulty: "I understand. ”

After saying this, Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on Cao Wei and Kou Ji, "You say, should I agree?" ”

Cao Wei and Kou Ji pursed their lips and did not speak.

It's not something they can be involved in.

Zhao Zhen saw that Cao Wei and Kou Ji did not answer, and did not ask.

He thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "My younger brother, don't use the emperor's name in the future." I can't tolerate anyone who claims to be the emperor in front of me. I can allow him to leave the pass with 50,000 soldiers and horses.

After he gets out of the customs, I can't guarantee whether he can live or not.

The Liao land outside the customs will not belong to Liao in the future, and I will not guarantee it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen paused, and his eyes fell on Yelu Longxu.

"You can go back, as if you weren't here."

Yelu Longxu was upright and respectfully saluted Zhao Zhen.

"Foreign Minister Yelu Longxu, thank you to His Majesty the Emperor Longen!"

After saying this, Yelu Longxu bowed and withdrew from the main hall of the palace.

Xiao Xunbu hurriedly stepped forward, Yelu Longxu forcibly squeezed out some smiling faces, and said to Xiao Xunbu: "Tell me, I was useless, I didn't help him defend the country, let him not complain about me." What I can help him do is to use my identity to exchange him for a chance to leave the Guannai, and everything will have to rely on him in the future.

I'm sorry for the ancestors and ancestors of Da Liao, and I don't have the face to return to the capital after I die.

After I died, you burned my corpse and threw it outside the city of Youzhou.

If I can still set foot here in the future, I will set up a mausoleum for me.

If not, let me be a sinner to be trampled on by millions. ”

"Your Majesty!!"

Xiao Xunbu choked and shouted.

Yelu Longxu laughed again and commanded in a low voice: "I'm afraid the effect of the tiger wolf medicine is about to expire...... Help me get into the sedan chair, I don't want to die in front of people, it's too ugly to die in front of people. ”

Xiao Xunbu hurriedly stepped forward to support Yelu Longxu.

Yelu Longxu walked out with the help of Xiao Xunbu.

After taking a few steps, his head rested on Xiao Xunbu's shoulder, and he didn't move anymore.
