Xiao Xunbu said with a smile: "The minister is afraid that the two of them will only care about fighting and will miss His Majesty's major affairs." ”

Yelu Longxu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiao Xunbu, and said weakly: "Wu Shuda has no room for people in his chest, but Zhang Jian does." Wu Shuda will miss my major event because of the fight, but Zhang Jian will not.

So this time, I sent the two of them to the southwest road, with Zhang Jian as the main one. ”

Xiao Xunbu understood Yelu Longxu's intentions, and praised with a smile: "Your Majesty Shengming ......"

Yelu Longxu frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't learn from the Song people." I don't like it. ”

Xiao Xunbu hurriedly bent down and made a gesture waiting for reprimand.

Yelu Longxu didn't continue to talk about this topic, but waved his hand weakly, "You take the prince down to finish today's homework first, I'm a little sleepy." ”

Xiao Xunbu straightened up, beat his chest and saluted, and led Yelu Zongzhen out of Yelu Longxu's bowl.

After dispersing the people in the clean bowl, Yelu Longxu coughed violently.

The eunuch who served him squatted in front of him with a porcelain bowl.

Yelu Longxu coughed for a long time, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He wiped the blood with a handkerchief and threw it into the porcelain bowl.

Then he slowly lay down on the dragon bed.

The eunuch quietly left the bowl with the porcelain bowl and disposed of the blood handkerchief.

Not long after he lay down on the dragon bed, he fell asleep.

I slept for less than two hours when I was awakened by a loud noise.

"Outside...... What happened? ”

Yelu Longxu opened his eyes and asked the eunuch weakly.

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the people of the Wenzhong Gong line have arrived, clamoring to see Your Majesty......"

"Wen Zhonggong?"

Yelu Longxu repeated, frowned, and said, "Aren't they guarding in Youzhou City?" Now the Song soldiers are attacking Youzhou City......"

Halfway through his words, Yelu Longxu's pupils shrank, and his eyes widened in shock.

"Youzhou City...... Lost? ”

The eunuch did not dare to speak.

Through the reaction of the eunuch, Yelu Longxu already knew the answer.

His eyes widened, his face turned slightly red, his cheeks swelled slightly, and blood ran down the corners of his mouth.

The eunuch was startled and knelt down in front of the dragon bed, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

Yelu Longxu swallowed the blood that had surged into his mouth, opened his mouth, and his mouth was bloody.

"Clean up for me, and rinse my mouth with all the water, so that no one can see the flaws."

The eunuch knelt on the spot and exclaimed, "Your Majesty's dragon body ......"

"Go!"

Yelu Longxu sighed in a deep voice.

The eunuch hurriedly got up, wiping his tears while helping Yelu Longxu clean up the bloodstains.

From beginning to end, he was busy working alone, and he didn't dare to ask for help, and he couldn't call for help.

Since Yelu Longxu began to cough up blood, he dispersed the eunuchs and palace maids around him, leaving him alone to serve.

The purpose is to hide people's eyes.

Up and down the Great Liao, they all knew that Yelu Longxu was sick, but only the eunuch knew how bad Yelu Longxu's body was.

The eunuch cleaned up the bloodstains, and took some water for Yelu Longxu to rinse his mouth.

Yelu Longxu instructed the eunuch to help him sit up on his side.

"Go, and call them all in."

The eunuch nodded and went down to give the order.

Not long after, Yelu Zongzhen, Xiao Xunbu, Xiao Yanliu, and Yeluxiong, who is in the line of Wenzhong Gong, that is, the city lord of Youzhou City, entered the bowl together.

Several people didn't look good, and they were worried about something, so they didn't pay much attention to Yelu Longxu's body.

After a few people gave the salute, Yelu Longxu waved his hand and called Yelu Zongzhen to his bedside, and before anyone else could speak, Yelu Longxu was the first to speak.

"Youzhou City...... Lost? ”

Yeluxiong fell to his knees with a puff, and did not dare to say a word.

Xiao Xunbu and Xiao Yanliu stared at Yelu Longxu tightly, for fear that Yelu Longxu would be angry and suddenly die.

Yelu Longxu behaved very indifferently, he was not angry, nor was he angry, he just asked curiously: "Cao Wei sent three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses to attack the city together?" ”

Youzhou City has a limited number of troops.

If Cao Wei pressed all the three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses to Youzhou City in one go, Youzhou City would be broken, and Yelu Longxu would not be surprised.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty were good at guarding, and today's soldiers and horses are not only good at defending, but also good at attacking.

Coupled with the military support of the Song Kingdom, which is far stronger than the other countries, it will inevitably be able to break through Youzhou City.

If Cao Wei pressed all the three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses to Youzhou City in one go, he would not be able to break through Youzhou City.

Then what qualifications does he Cao Wei have to call himself a battlefield general, and what qualifications does he have to be an enemy of Yelu Longxu.

Yelu Xiong naturally didn't dare to tell a lie in front of Yelu Longxu, even if he said a lie, Yelu Longxu could turn around and be clear, so he could only answer truthfully.

"The first siege was only 40,000 Song soldiers......"

Yelu Longxu frowned, his face was gloomy for a moment, and his cold voice revealed a piercing chill, "Don't tell me, the Song people used 40,000 soldiers and horses to break your Youzhou City." ”

Yeluxiong touched the ground with his head and said in a trembling voice: "The Song people blew open the city gate with gunpowder, and its power collapsed and the mountains and seas split. Many of the means prepared by the ministers were not used, and the Song people blew open the city gates.

Then hundreds of thousands of troops poured into Youzhou City, and it was difficult for the ministers to resist at all. ”

Yelu Longxu stared at Yelu Xiong coldly, "Collapse the mountains and split the sea, that is Tianwei, Youzhou City is under Tianwei, I am afraid that it has long been turned into ashes, you are in Youzhou City, I am afraid that there are no bones left in the bombing."

Now that you are still alive, it means that even if the gunpowder of the Song people is sharp, it is not as powerful as you say.

If you were to be broken by 400,000 Song soldiers, I would not blame you.

The Song soldiers were not weak, and it was reasonable for 400,000 Song soldiers to break through Youzhou City.

But you were broken by 40,000 Song soldiers.

That's your incompetence. ”

Yeluxiong heard the murderous intent in Yelu Longxu's tone, and explained in horror: "Youzhou City was broken, and it was not the fault of the ministers. The minister made all the preparations and could stop the soldiers and horses of the Song State, but the minister could not stop the gunpowder of the Song State. ”

Yelu Longxu snorted coldly, "Evil words confuse the people and shake the hearts of the army, and their crimes should be punished!" ”

"Your Majesty?!"

Jemanchon cried out to defend himself.

Yelu Longxu shouted: "Shut up! Do you know what Youzhou City means to my Da Liao? Do you know what Youzhou City means to my war against the Song Kingdom?

I led 500,000 soldiers and horses to the south to conquer the Song Kingdom.

But at the moment, he did not capture one city and one pool of the Song State, but let the Song State occupy two states and one city first.

The three important military places in Yanyun are now all under the control of the Song people.

The purpose of my army was to conquer the Song Dynasty, but before I reached the border of the Song Kingdom, it became an anti-Song Dynasty.

If Cao Wei does not come out of Youzhou City, I will fail in this expedition to the Song Dynasty.

Not only can I not reach the Song Kingdom, but I may not even be able to cross Youzhou City. ”

"Your Majesty...... Minister......"

And Jemanchon will speak.

Yelu Longxu ordered in a cold voice, "Drag it out and cut it down." ”

Ye Luxiong looked frightened and shouted, "Your Majesty, has you forgotten the exploits of your former great-grandfather to Da Liao? ”

And Jerodun paid no attention to him.

The two commanders of the leather room army, after Yelu Longxu gave the order, appeared in the bowl, dragged Yeluxiong out of the bowl, and let Yeluxiong shout, no one said a word.

Not long after the two commanders of the leather room army dragged Yeluxiong away from the bowl, Yeluxiong's head was placed in front of Yelulongxu.

After Yelu Longxu saw Yelu Xiong's head, he said in a deep voice: "Youzhou City is broken, and the future war will be difficult to fight." Xiao Xunbu, you send someone to tell Zhang Jian quickly, and ask him to lead his troops south immediately.

Xiao Yanliu, the soldiers and horses under the command of Yeluxiong, will be handed over to you for the time being. ”

Speaking of this, Yelu Longxu paused for a moment and continued: "I heard that Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty has also arrived at the border. Send someone to the Song camp and tell Zhao Zhen that I intend to meet him before the war starts. ”

Xiao Xunbu hesitated: "Now that the war between my Great Liao and the Song State has started, the Song Emperor may not be willing to meet you." ”

Yelu Longxu glanced at Xiao Xunbu coldly, "Then find a way to get him to agree to meet me." ”

Xiao Xunbu was coldly looked at by Yelu Longxu, and his heart was also cold, and he hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Yelu Longxu continued to instruct: "Send someone to investigate Cao Wei's situation again, and see if Cao Wei is really about to die as rumored." ”

Xiao Xunbu bowed down to answer the matter.

Yelu Longxu waved his hand, "You go down first, I have something to tell the emperor." ”

Xiao Xunbu and others withdrew from the bowl.

Yelu Longxu glanced at the eunuch again, and the eunuch left the bowl with interest.

There are only two left, Yelu Longxu and Yelu Zongzhen, father and son.

Yelu Longxu ordered Yelu Zongzhen to sit beside him and asked, "Emperor, what do you think of the current war?" ”

Yelu Zongzhen frowned and said, "Youzhou City is broken, which is very unfavorable to my Great Liao. But if the Song Kingdom went north, it would not be so easy. The terrain to the north of Youzhou City is very beneficial to our Great Liaodu, but it is not good for the Song Kingdom.

Therefore, Erchen guessed that the Song State was likely to stick to Youzhou City. ”

Yelu Longxu nodded with satisfaction and asked, "And then?" ”

Yelu Zong really pondered for a long time, and continued: "The purpose of the Song State is Yanyun, if the war in Youzhou is blocked, it is very likely that they will send the soldiers and horses of Dading Mansion and Flying Fox Pass to the north. ”

Yelu Longxu nodded and asked again, "What does the emperor think should he do?" ”

Yelu Zongzhen muttered: "How about using the method of luring the enemy to go deeper? The soldiers of the Song State entered Dading Mansion and the troops entered the Flying Fox Pass, and the Chinese army was blocked in Youzhou City, and the situation was very similar to the battle situation in the five years of Tonghe.

At that time, the king of Song used the method of luring the enemy deep into the army and defeated the Song soldiers. ”

The fifth year of Liao Tonghe is the fourth year of Yongxi of the Great Song Dynasty.

The battle in Yelu Zongzhen's mouth was the Yongxi Northern Expedition.

Yang Wenguang's grandfather, Yang Ye, died in the Yongxi Northern Expedition.

Yelu Longxu nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's really good to use the method of luring the enemy to go deeper. It's just that there are not many soldiers and horses assigned by the Song State to Dadingfu and Feihukou, even if we lure the enemy deep and completely annihilate the two Song armies in Dadingfu and Feihukou, the Song army in Youzhou City will not retreat easily.

Therefore, this method can be used, but it is not the key to defeating the enemy. ”

Yelu Zongzhen was puzzled: "What is the key to defeating the enemy?" ”

Yelu Longxu was silent for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "I have to live longer than Cao Wei." ”

Cao Wei is the great enemy of the Liao State, and Yelu Longxu naturally pays attention to his physical condition at all times.

When Cao Wei was teaching in Wenchang Academy, he didn't hide anything.

Therefore, Yelu Longxu has a very clear understanding of Cao Wei's physical condition.

He sent someone to probe Cao Wei's physical condition again, in order to confirm whether Cao Wei was still alive, if the war that happened in the land of Yanyun was a game set up by Cao Wei before he died, then he didn't need to worry, and he could use many means with confidence.

If Cao Wei is alive, but only holding on, then Yelu Longxu will have to compare with Cao Wei, whose life is longer.

Whether it is Yelu Longxu or Cao Wei, they are the backbone of the army.

If any of them dies in the army, the morale of the army will inevitably fluctuate, and then it will be an excellent time for the other side to steal chickens.

If Cao Wei is alive, and there is a master to continue his life, if he lives well.

Then Yelu Longxu should consider whether to specialize in defending and defend this country.

He has lost the lead and has gone from being active to being passive.

There are not many options other than to hold on.

Following Cao Wei's example and turning passive into active, the possibility is too low.

The soldiers and horses of the Song State defended the city and it was a must.

If not, under the eyes of the Liao State, it would not have survived to this day.

Judging from the information that Yelu Longxu has so far, Cao Wei should be similar to him, not far from death, but just holding on to death.

Therefore, the key to determining the outcome of the war is likely to be the life and death of the two of them.

Yelu Zong is really the son of Yelu Longxu, and when he heard Yelu Longxu's words, he naturally said without hesitation: "My father will definitely live a hundred years old." When his father captured the Song Kingdom, the child accompanied his father to mourn Cao Wei. ”

Yelu Longxu was stunned when he heard this, and laughed out loud, "The emperor is reasonable. ”

Yelu Longxu smiled and analyzed the situation on the battlefield with Yelu Zongzhen, and then sent Yelu Zongzhen out of the bowl.

After Yelu Zongzhen left, Yelu Longxu lay on the dragon bed alone, and said with a sigh: "The body bones of me and Cao Wei are the difference between half a catty and eight taels. He is half a catty, and I am eight taels.

My body is worse than his.

Now that the opportunity is lost, I can only find something to do for Cao Wei, so that he will die of exhaustion in front of me first. ”

Yelu Longxu muttered alone and shouted.

The Great Eunuch reappeared in the bowl.

"Xiao Xunbu found out the news of Cao Wei over there, and reported it to me quickly."

After the great eunuch appeared, Yelu Longxu commanded.

The eunuch agreed.

Zhao Zhen sent spies to lurk in the Liao Kingdom, and similarly, Yelu Longxu also sent spies to hide in the Great Song Dynasty.

Yelu Longxu wanted to know the specific news of Cao Wei, and someone sent the news to his desk that night.

After Yelu Longxu learned that Cao Wei was fighting to the death like him, he decisively ordered to march out of the camp and march to Youzhou.

Cao Wei now obviously has the intention of sticking to Youzhou City, if Yelu Longxu wants to exhaust Cao Wei to death, he can only come to Youzhou City and attack Youzhou City, constantly putting pressure on Cao Wei, and constantly forcing Cao Wei to command soldiers and horses to fight day and night.

In less than half a month, Cao Wei is likely to die of exhaustion in Youzhou City.

When Yelu Longxu led his troops to Youzhou City.

Cao Wei took Gao Di Gong and was welcoming Zhao Zhen into Youzhou City.

Everything in Youzhou City is new to Zhao Zhen.

Youzhou City is an ancient city, which has many places of interest and some good scenery.

The Liao people occupied Youzhou City for decades, destroyed many monuments in Youzhou City, and created many buildings with strong Liao colors.

Two different architectural styles have formed a new architectural style in Youzhou City.

Zhao Zhen didn't like this style, he was just just curious.

He is different from others, who can travel all over the world and enjoy all kinds of styles in the world in their lifetime.

But he couldn't.

His life is destined to be tied to the capital, the number of times he leaves the capital is counted on one hand, there is no way to travel all over the world, and even where to go, it is not necessarily that he can call the shots.

So it is very likely that he is the only time he has traveled to Youzhou City, so he naturally has to take a good look.

Zhao Zhen ordered someone to send Cao Wei back to rest first, and then under the leadership of Gao Di Gong, he had a good tour in Youzhou City.

After traveling, I stepped into the very rough Liaohuang Palace.

Zhao Zhen didn't like the rugged style of the Liao Emperor's Palace very much, but he didn't pick and choose, so he had to change places to live.

Because in the entire Youzhou City, in addition to the City Lord's Mansion, only this Liao Emperor's Palace is worthy of his identity.

Cao Wei now lives in the City Lord's Mansion, so he didn't think about changing with Cao Wei to toss Cao Wei.

Not long after Zhao Zhen entered the palace.

Cao Wei was carried to the palace by four eunuchs.

Cao Wei instructed the eunuch to help him get up and salute, but was stopped by Zhao Zhen.

"When you are on the march, don't stick to the rituals. Your body is bone-hugged, and you can't just toss it. If you don't worship, I can't give it to you. But I will allow you to see me and not to worship me. ”

Seeing that the king does not worship, it is a great gift.

Zhao Zhen had the heart to give it to Cao Wei, but he couldn't give it, because it was difficult to convince the public after giving it out.

Because Cao Wei did not have the merit of destroying the country.

Cao Wei heard Zhao Zhen's words, and said with some hesitation: "Minister......"

Zhao Zhen didn't wait for Cao Wei to finish speaking, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I don't need to use it." You don't have so many thoughts in your heart. There are few imperial relatives and martial artists now.

So you don't have to be careful in front of me.

I don't have to guard against you, and you don't have to guard against me.

Be free and easy, just like the fourth brother in front of me. ”

After Zhao Zhen appeased Cao Wei, he sighed and said: "But anyone who is willing to fight for his life for this country, I will treat him with kindness and leniency." ”

Cao Wei bowed his hand slightly, "Thank you for the love of the official family." ”

Zhao Zhen ordered someone to carry Cao Wei to the depths of the palace, and after sitting down, Zhao Zhen asked: "You are not raised in the City Lord's Mansion, what are you doing here?" I have already said that I have handed over the war in the land of Yanyun to you, and I will never interfere.

On the battlefield, even if you ask me to intervene, I won't agree. ”

Cao Wei's heart was full of emotion.

It feels so good to be trusted.

Since the rebellion of Emperor Taizu Chen Qiao, Wuchen has never been trusted.

Taizu is like this, Taizong is like this, and the first emperor is also like this.

Now that Zhao Zhen has generously delegated power and trusted him with full authority, he is really full of emotion in his heart.

But he sighed with emotion, but he didn't forget the business, "The official, if it is a matter on the battlefield, the minister will naturally not come to bother the official." ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, staring at Cao Wei, revealing a look of willingness to hear about it.

Cao Wei said: "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sent an envoy to the outside of Youzhou City to ask to see the official's house. ”

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows and said: "Now that the two countries are at war, what does Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu mean by sending someone to see me at this time?" Want to make peace? ”

Cao Wei smiled and said, "It's not peace...... It was the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu who wanted to see you before the war between the two countries began. ”

"See me?"

Zhao Zhen looked suspicious, "What did you do when you saw me, do you want to set up an ambush to kill me, or do you want me to kill him with one punch?" ”

The corners of Cao Wei's mouth twitched, and he smiled bitterly.

Zhao Zhen said seriously: "Don't believe it, with Yelu Longxu's current body bones, if I punch down, he will be killed." ”

Cao Wei said with a smile and a smile: "Official, we are talking about business." ”

Zhao Zhen said frankly: "I won't see him, so I just ridiculed him." He is now sending someone to find me, saying that he wants to see me, and he has made it clear that he is not at ease. If I had complied with him, I would not have been stupid and hopeless. ”

Zhao Zhen shook off his robe, sat down there with a golden sword, and said, "You send someone to tell the envoys of the Liao State that it is okay for the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to see me if he wants to." Let him withdraw all the soldiers and horses in Yanyun Kyushu from the Great Wall.

When my Great Song soldiers took over the defense of the Great Wall, it was when I met with him. ”

Cao Wei smiled bitterly: "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu will definitely not agree. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Then you can send someone to add another sentence and tell him that if he is interested and follows my wishes, I can accept his son Yelu Zongzhen as his godson."

When he dies, I will let my godson sit as Emperor Taiping for three or five years. ”

Cao Wei hesitated for a moment, and said faintly: "You are declaring war with the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled indifferently: "Why declare war? Aren't we in a big war right now? ”

Cao Wei smiled bitterly and did not speak again.

He actually wanted to say: Official, you are a bit of a deception. You are looking at others, Liaohuang Yelu Longxu is dying, and you yourself are strong and have thirty or fifty years to live, so you bully others like this. Aren't you afraid that Yelu Zong will really grow up and bully you like this?

Zhao Zhen didn't know what Cao Wei was saying, if he knew, he would definitely tell Cao Wei without hesitation: I would be afraid that Yelu Zong would really grow up and bully me? You should first ask Yelu Zongzhen if he has a chance to grow up.

Cao Wei received Zhao Zhen's instructions and immediately sent someone to pass the words to the envoys of Liao.

After receiving Zhao Zhen's message, the envoys of the Liao State ordered people to go back to report the news, and on the other hand, they used the method of agitation to provoke Zhao Zhen to promise to meet with the Liao Emperor.

Zhao Zhen didn't pay attention to him at all.

Because Zhao Zhen calculated the time, Liu Heng should be about to take someone to the capital.

When Zhao Zhen arrived in Zhuozhou, Liu Heng led people to the territory of Liao.

It takes about eight days to arrive at the capital of Liao from the sea.

Zhao Zhen arrived in Youzhou City from the border of Zhuozhou, and it also took eight days.

Seeing that it was the ninth day, there was no movement at all.

Zhao Zhen was wondering if something was wrong with Liu Heng.

In fact, it was not that there was any problem with Liu Heng, but that it would take a long time to spread the news from Shangjing City to Youzhou City, even if it was eight hundred miles urgent, it would take seven or eight days to get the news here.

And the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu had just stepped into the border of Youzhou with soldiers and horses, and a few fast horses came from north to south in Shangjing.

A few fast horses brutally broke into the camp of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, and sent an urgent report into the body of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's bowl.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was discussing with the civil and military ministers how to attack Youzhou City, so after the urgent report was sent into the bowl, he did not shy away from people, and opened the urgent report.
