As soon as he heard that it was a messenger sent by the Song people, and he made such an unbelievable request, Yelu Dashi's brows quickly furrowed. And the other generals shouted and cursed, clamoring to kill the Song envoy on the spot to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

It wasn't until Yelu Dashixu pressed his hand that everyone stopped scolding, and then they only heard him say: "Then please invite the Song envoy into the tent, I want to see what basis he can give such words." ”

After a while, Yue Fei, who was dressed in military uniform, came to the tent, he was completely unafraid of the Liao soldiers around him who wanted to tear him to pieces, and he hugged his fist at Yelu Dashi without being arrogant or humble: "The junior general Yue Fei has seen Dashi Linya. In the following, on the order of my General Sun, I have invited Your Excellency to the city to talk about it, and my general has prepared a thin wine there to greet him, and I hope that Lin Ya will not refuse. ”

"Yue Fei......" Yelu Dashi looked up and down at the young Song general in his twenties in front of him, and he really saw a little heroism and the calmness and fearlessness of the veteran generals in the army, which made him feel impressed, Song Guo was luckier than Da Liao, not only did he have a career, but also such a young general in front of him could be a pillar.

Then, he smiled: "You said it lightly, do you really deceive me and others into not understanding the meaning of the Hongmen Banquet, and actually want to trick me into the city?" If he really wanted to talk to me, why didn't he go out of the city himself? ”

Yue Fei smiled and shook his head: "Lin Ya's words are too wronged by my general, he really didn't have the slightest evil intentions when he invited you to the city this time, just for the sake of the overall situation of my Song and Liao countries, and he didn't want to have any more disputes." As for why he thought of inviting Lin Ya into the city instead of him coming out to see him, as long as you read this letter, you must know the reason. As he spoke, he reached into his bosom and took out a letter.

Immediately, someone on the side stepped forward with vigilance, took the letter from his hand, and after confirming that there was no problem, he handed it to Yelu Dashi. The latter was also quite curious about this statement, and immediately opened the letter and read it quickly. And at this glance, his face suddenly tightened, and his breathing became disordered, and then he raised his head suddenly: "You ......"

As soon as the words came out, he realized that his reaction was too intense, and he hurriedly took it again: "You go back and tell Sun Tu, since he has the heart to invite, I will promise him." Tomorrow morning, I will go to the city to pay a visit, hoping that he will keep his promise and not go back on his word. ”

"This is natural, my general has always admired Lin Ya's personality and ability, how can he be so calculating?" Yue Fei hugged his fists again, and then calmly turned around and strode away. From the time he entered the tent to the time he left, he seemed calm and calm, not at all frightened by the soldiers who were full of hatred around him.

However, those Liao army generals, after seeing their main general suddenly change their minds, were full of suspicion, until Yue Fei came out of the tent, they couldn't help it anymore, and stepped forward one after another: "Lin Ya, why did you suddenly agree to enter the city, is it really okay for the Song people?" ”

"Yes, Lin Ya, we can't take any more risks, if there is another mistake, I'm afraid it will be ......"

In the face of everyone's incomprehension and persuasion, Yelu Dashi smiled bitterly, handed over the letter that was almost clutched by him in his hand to the hand of a person next to him, motioned for him to look at the content on it, and said: "Now, we have no better way than this. ”

"Why is this...... the generals still looked surprised, until the general who took the letter suddenly exclaimed: "How is this possible? How did the Song people know that I had been conquered by the Jurchens in Beijing......", they all stopped in surprise, and at the same time, there was a horror on their faces that could not be concealed.

In an instant, there was silence in the tent, and everyone was filled with fear and doubt. What is terrifying is that in this way, once the Song army spreads the news, their own situation will inevitably be extremely dangerous, and the collapse of these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will only be instantaneous; What is doubtful is whether this news will be revealed to the Song people by someone.

Fortunately, Yelu Dashi quickly solved this suspicion: "Now that the Song army is in Nanjing, he naturally controls all the keys in the city, including our Flying Eagle contact point in Nanjing!" ”

Only then did these generals understand, and although they were slightly relieved, their hearts were still heavy.

It turned out that in addition to using fast horses to transmit various messages in Liao, when encountering some confidential matters that needed to be delivered as soon as possible, they would use the Flying Eagle to pass the book. The five capitals of the Liao State, as well as some important cities, all had Flying Eagle contact points, so that they could receive secret reports from the imperial court in the shortest possible time.

Obviously, this time Shangjing fell into the hands of the Jin army, and the local people used various ways to spread the bad news to the south, and the flying eagle book sent to Nanjing happened to fall into the hands of Sun Tu and others. It is precisely because he knows that the Liao army is on the verge of collapse that Sun Tu is so confident and tough, and even dares to directly invite Yelu Dashi to enter the city to discuss things, which is completely coercive.

After understanding this, although everyone was angry in their hearts, they were powerless for a while, so they could only reluctantly persuade him: "Lin Ya, don't fall for the Song people's scheme, he will definitely be uneasy and kind when he invites you to enter the city." It's better for us to withdraw ......."

In the face of their dissuasion, Yelu Dashi smiled bitterly again: "Retreat? Withdrawing the troops for no reason like this will only completely collapse the morale of the army, and as long as the Song army goes out of the city to pursue, it will be a fiasco. We can no longer afford a great defeat, let alone an army of 100,000 to the south......"

"But......" The others tried to persuade again, but he waved his hand to interrupt: "I don't think Sun Tu really wants to attack me by doing this, because he has no need for this at all." If you really want to defeat us, you can just spread the news, so why bother to invite us and show me the letter? ”

After a pause, Yelu Dashi's face had become resolute: "I have made up my mind, I will go to the city to see him tomorrow." Maybe this is really the last chance to save the current situation, compared to this, what is the life and death of my Yelu Dashi? ”

"Dashi Linya ......" all the generals were moved when they heard this, and some were worried, but more of them were full of admiration in their hearts. Dashi Linya is really worthy of being one of the few loyal generals left in the Great Liao country today, but it is a pity that there are too few people with this ability and loyalty in the court now.

The idea is set, Yelu Dashi's next thing to do is to appease the army first, at least not to let the soldiers below know, or be affected by the bad news of the fall of Shangjing. In order to prevent the Song army from taking the opportunity to send troops, they also moved their camp again and retreated, setting up the military camp more than ten miles away. Early the next morning, Yelu Dashi only brought a dozen or so guards and rode to this invitation. What surprised him was that the Nanjing City Gate was really opened because of his arrival, and it was not a basket from the city to pull him up, which can only show how confident the Song army was.

However, his own soldiers were left at the gates of the city after entering the city, and were not allowed to enter together. In this regard, Yelu Dashi did not insist too much, after all, he had entered the city garrisoned by the Song army, surrounded by enemy troops, and there was no guarantee at all for a few more guards.

Yelu Dashi, who thought he had adjusted his mentality, still changed color a little when he was brought to the place where today's banquet was held, because this was his mansion in Nanjing. This is really a deep mockery, it is clear that the Song people announced their ownership of Nanjing to themselves, Rao is no matter how calm he is, his face has become very ugly, especially when he sees that most of the people who serve in the palace are former slaves, this feeling of being humiliated in public becomes more and more intense.

But the current situation made Yelu Dashi unable to attack, so he could only endure his anger and go inside, and at the door of the hall of the Sanjin courtyard, he saw Sun Tu who was standing there to welcome guests with a smile. On both sides of it, the Song generals were gloating and laughing ill-intentionedly, as if they were watching his jokes.

Holding back the anger in his heart, Yelu Dashi barely brought out a smile on his face: "General Sun, it's been a long time." As he spoke, he clasped his fists and gave a salute.

When Sun Tu saw him behaving like this, he didn't feel that he hugged his fists and saluted back: "Lin Ya doesn't need to be polite, you and I haven't seen each other for many years since we parted from this Youzhou." The two easily ignored the conversation between the city and the city the day before yesterday, after all, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly at that time, and they didn't see each other.

Although the two had not seen each other for many years, they could not really greet each other like old friends who had been separated for a long time, so after only seeing a salute, they entered the hall together, and then sat down according to the guests of honor. It's just that when he sat down, Yelu Dashi was still awkward, in this hall, he had always sat on the top of the main seat, but today it was good, but he became a guest, this sense of dislocation is really uncomfortable.

After the other generals sat down, the wine and food were finally delivered, all of which were meat that the Liao people were accustomed to, and all of them were rough, and they were not as delicate as the Song people should have. However, everyone present didn't really want to eat and drink, so they didn't pay too much attention to it, and after a few bites, they turned their attention back to the two protagonists.

After Sun Tu toasted Yelu Dashi, he looked him up and down again, and said with emotion: "But in seven or eight years, Lin Ya has aged a lot. Thinking about the time you and I spent together in Bianjing that day, how high-spirited you were......"

"Hehe, it's all in the past, what's the use of mentioning it again?" Yelu Dashi smiled bitterly, thinking about the beginning, and then looking at the present, it is really discouraged and depressed.

He didn't want to dwell on such a false matter, so he immediately said: "General Sun, you and I are both people who lead troops, so why should you learn such a sour Confucian circle?" Today you are prepared, I am here, if you have anything to say, please say it directly. I'm really curious about what you mean by doing things that are good for both of us! ”
