The Song army's five bed crossbows were loaded, and they were about to launch the first round of attacks of the day as soon as the general gave the order.

However, an accident occurred, and the Liao ** team retreated rapidly, withdrew to the Flying Fox Pass in a blink of an eye, and closed the city gate, leaving only the empty 40-mile Flying Fox Valley main road.

Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue were eating a greasy breakfast in the camp tent, and after hearing the news of the withdrawal of the Liao army, they were puzzled, and hurriedly put down the bowl and walked out.

Sure enough, the Flying Fox Valley stretching up was empty, and there was not even a footprint to be seen.

Zhao Mingyue and Ling Kun glanced at each other, and said suspiciously: "Flying Fox Valley, such a dangerous road, the Khitan people gave up like this. ”

Ling Kun nodded and said, "Yes, I gave up." ”

"But why?"

Ling Kun frowned and pondered, "I don't know, maybe there will be some conspiracy." ”

"What then?" Zhao Mingyue asked.

"Whatever, let's take Flying Fox Yu into my pocket first."

"But what if they have a scheme?" Zhao Mingyue said worriedly.

"I will first send infantry to explore the road and press the bed crossbow behind, as long as the bed crossbow is not lost, the Khitans will have nothing to do with us."

"Well, that's right, so be it." Zhao Mingyue nodded in agreement.

Ling Kun immediately assigned Xu Zixuan as the vanguard and led five hundred infantry to explore the way.

Xu Zixuan picked up the people and horses and moved along the Flying Fox Valley, unimpeded along the way, and did not find any abnormalities. After reporting the news to Ling Kun, Ling Kun slowly followed up with the army.

Before noon, the Song army had advanced for more than 30 miles, and the head of the Flying Fox Pass was already in sight.

The Flying Fox Mountain Road is getting more and more dangerous, and the narrowest part can only barely pass a simple donkey cart.

Xu Zixuan led the soldiers to advance cautiously, and finally saw a strange scene in the narrowest part of the road, a woman in red stood on the road, her long hair was flying, her pretty face was cold, her lips were flaming, and she was holding a long knife in her hand, and one person and one knife occupied almost the entire road.

The Song army has been fighting for a long time, and has never seen this kind of war configuration, and the hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops have not blocked the Song army, do you want this little woman to block it? Everyone looked at the pioneer officer Xu Zixuan.

Xu Zixuan stood still, his brows furrowed deeply. He didn't know who this woman in red was, but he had seen it several times before, and the relationship with the princess and the palace marshal was extraordinary.

Therefore, we must not act rashly.

He called a soldier and quietly ordered: "Hurry up and report to the palace marshal, there is someone blocking the way in front, please ask the palace marshal and the princess to come and decide in person." ”

Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue didn't know what to do when they heard the report, so they hurried up to catch up, and after reaching the vanguard, they jumped off their horses and stepped forward, and saw the woman in red blocking the way from a distance.

"Xiao Ran?" Both of them exclaimed at the same time.

Xiao Ran gently brushed away the hair in front of him, and said with a sneer: "Do you want to go over?" Get over me. ”

"Xiao Ran, go back quickly, this is not a place to play." Ling Kun scolded, these soldiers didn't know her, once she had a few spears, wouldn't it be very dangerous.

"Who's going to play, I'm doing business." Xiao Ran stomped his breath.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Mingyue asked.

"I want you to quit." Xiao Ran said confidently.

"Huh." Zhao Mingyue sneered: "Little girl, you are crazy, why do we want to withdraw the army, it was your Liao State that provoked the war first." ”

"Just because you promised me, you will promise me one thing in the future, have you forgotten?"

"It's ......." Zhao Mingyue and Ling Kun were speechless, indeed, when the first emperor died last year, the Queen Mother wanted to launch a coup d'état, but it was Xiao Ran who let Baishan Shuangsha kidnap Li Jilong and crush the coup. At that time, Zhao Mingyue had promised Xiao Ran that she would definitely promise her one thing in the future.

"What? Doesn't talking count? That's not as good as a puppy. Xiao Ran sneered.

Ling Kun was embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Xiao Ran, this is a major national matter, we can't decide it on our own." ”

Xiao Ran snorted coldly and said, "Okay, run over me, Flying Fox Yu will no longer be hindered." ”

Ling Kun was helpless, and whispered to Zhao Mingyue: "What should I do?" Or do I suddenly go up and control her? ”

Zhao Mingyue pondered for a moment and then said, "Don't, I'll go talk to her." ”

"Talk? What to talk about? Ling Kun asked in surprise.

"If we take Flying Fox Valley today, we have to fight Flying Fox Mouth, and if we take Flying Fox Mouth, we have to take advantage of the situation to recover the clouds, which will take time, but we don't have time. Last night, the imperial brother came to a secret decree, saying that Shi Junfeng was assassinated by the rebels at Jianmen Pass, and Jianmen Pass is now in danger. ”

"You want to reconcile with Liao?"

"How else? Are you going to run over her? Zhao Mingyue turned white

He glanced at him, stepped forward and said, "Little girl, let's talk." ”

"If there is anything to talk about, retreat, retreat, and fight if you don't retreat." Xiao Ran said, picking up the big knife in his hand.

Zhao Mingyue had already walked to Xiao Ran's side and said with a smile: "What are you anxious about, you can't beat me." ”

"You ......."

On the battlefield of nearly a million people, the atmosphere was tense and solemn, but at this moment it seemed so wonderful. In the middle of the two armies, two young women, one red and one white, were negotiating, which was probably the first time in history.

"What the hell do you want, give me a good word." Xiao Ran urged.

"Since I promised you, I will do it."

"Really?" Xiao Ran was overjoyed, threw away the big knife, hugged Zhao Mingyue and asked, "Sister, have you agreed to withdraw the troops?" ”

Zhao Mingyue pushed her away and said angrily: "Don't move your hands and feet, what kind of system, I can withdraw my troops, but there are conditions." ”

"What conditions? You said. Xiao Ran said hurriedly.

"Once we withdraw our troops, and your Liao State comes to harass Yanmen Pass again, wouldn't it be more troublesome, so we must make an alliance, the two sides will retreat to the original defense line, and only 50,000 troops can be left to garrison, and the rest will all withdraw to Kyoto, and no longer provoke a war within three years, can it be done?"

"Absolutely, that's for the best." Xiao Ran patted his chest and said.

"Little girl, you can't be the master, go back and ask the Empress Dowager Xiao, if you agree, withdraw the large army, we will automatically withdraw from Feihuyu, give up the Niujiao Pass, and retreat to the previous line of defense."

Xiao Ran nodded again and again: "Okay, I'll go back and tell my aunt." He hurriedly turned around and ran back.

Zhao Mingyue turned around and walked to Ling Kun's side, glared at him and said, "It's all your trouble, otherwise you would have hit the Flying Fox by now." ”

"How can you blame me, didn't you say we didn't have time?" Ling Kun said aggrievedly.

"It's your fault, it's you, it's you." Zhao Mingyue reached out to pinch Ling Kun's waist, but there was armor around his waist, so he couldn't do it, so he pinched his buttocks.

Fortunately, they walked back towards the army, and no one could see it, otherwise General Ling would have been embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house.

Xiao Ran hurried back to Youzhou and told Empress Dowager Xiao that the Song army commander would not only agree to withdraw his troops, but also return Feihuyu and Niujiaoguan.

Empress Dowager Xiao and the minister of Liao were all taken aback, they couldn't believe it, was Ling Kun crazy?
