In a fierce battle one day, the Song army crushed the Liao army with absolute superiority, killed countless enemies, and beat the Liao army to advance and retreat, so it could only be supported hard.

Despite this, at the negotiation table, the Liao State still did not have any intention of backing down, and it seemed that Empress Dowager Xiao and the 400,000 army were determined to coexist and die with the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

There was no way, Cao Yu had to return to the Song camp to resume his life.

Hearing that Liao Guoning would rather die than let Youyun go, Kou Zhun took the opportunity to say: "This is just right, with our current momentum, it is not too difficult to destroy the Liao army and hit Youyun." ”

Li Jilong, Gao Qiong and others also said that since the Liao people don't know what to do, then let's fight, and they are confident of victory.

Only the general Ling Kun was still a little hesitant, he was not afraid of Liaoguo, he was afraid of Xiao Ran, if she stood in front with a big knife again, with an innocent face and eyes (qíng), do you fight or not.

He couldn't help but look at Zhao Mingyue, Zhao Mingyue didn't seem to have any idea, don't turn his head and whisper to Shangguan Chengcheng, deliberately avoiding his gaze.

"Ling (ài) Qing, what do you think?" Zhao Heng asked.

Ling Kun thought for a while, and immediately said: "The minister still said that the fight is the means, and peace is the goal, and the reason why the peace is not made is because the fight is not painful enough." ”

Zhao Heng nodded and said: "Ling (ài) Qing is reasonable, we have already told them the conditions, and the rest is to fight or make peace can only be left to Xiao Yanyan to choose." Tomorrow, continue to launch a strong attack. ”

At the same time, this matter was also being discussed in the account of the Liao State Department, and Han Derang said: "The queen mother's expectations are completely good, the Han people don't want anything, they want Youyun, so there is no way to talk about it." ”

"If you want Youyun, it's impossible, I'm willing to use my head to block Youyun." Jerry Nuoyan shouted.

"Weichen is also willing to defend Youyun with death, so he won't have the face to see the Khitan father when he goes back like this." The Privy Envoy of the Northern Court also said.

The Khitan people are brave and warlike, never afraid on the battlefield, and at this moment they have expressed their stance to fight to the death with the Song army, killing one is enough, killing two and earning one.

Empress Dowager Xiao said: "Okay, since it has reached this point, this palace will also be a queen mother who died in battle, tomorrow, this palace will still fight in person, everyone will hate the same enemy, and fight to the death with the Han people." ”

"No, aunt, the two saints of Baishan are abolished, no one protects you, you can't go to the battlefield." Xiao Ran objected first.

Empress Dowager Xiao

smiled slightly: "It's okay, Brother Baishan can't do it, there are other guards, besides, I have already embraced the heart of death, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Auntie, I'm going to protect you." Xiao Ran said firmly.

"You're protecting me?" Empress Dowager Xiao said with a smile: "If this palace and Ling Kun fight alone, you may be able to protect me, but the Song army has four or five hundred thousand people, everyone wants to kill me, and Ling Kun is not the only one, how can you protect me?" ”

"Then I can't ignore my aunt, it's a big deal to die together." Xiao Ran is still firm, from childhood to adulthood, Empress Dowager Xiao spoiled her to the sky, how could she sit idly by at this moment?

Empress Dowager Xiao touched Xiao Ran's head and said, "Okay, if the army is all dead, you may not have a good death, so let's go into battle together." ”

In the camp of the Liao army, the atmosphere was extremely tragic, and the generals conveyed the spirit of the imperial court fighting to the death one by one, and all the officers and men of the army were ready to go back forever.

In the early morning of the following day, the drums of war were beaten and the trumpets and cannons were fired. The Song army was still full of morale and rushed into the Liao army under the personal leadership of the generals.

However, today's Liao army is different from yesterday, all of them are red-eyed, like zombies without souls and without pain, they don't dodge or dodge when they see knives and guns coming, they just see the opportunity to kill.

The so-called putting death and then rebirth, the Liao army did not take their life and death seriously, and there were more opportunities to kill. Before everyone died, there was always a chance to kill one or two Song soldiers.

As soon as the battle began, it entered the white (rè), and the Liao army did not take a step back from beginning to end, falling row by row, and rising up again by row, one after another, without a single person retreating.

The losses of the Song army have exceeded that of the Liao army, and the soldiers saw the Liao State's way of fighting together, and their hearts were furious, and they unconsciously restrained their hands and feet. As the saying goes, those who are afraid of being stunned, those who are stunned are afraid of dying, and the Liao army is a typical one who does not want to die.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ling Kun took Shangguan Chengcheng into battle in person, trying to open some gaps with their powerful skills, so that the Song army could break through the Liao army's death attack.

However, as soon as Ling Kun made a move, Empress Dowager Xiao made a move, and now she is afraid of everyone, but not the most powerful Ling Kun, because she has Xiao Ran's trump card in her hand.

Sure enough, after Empress Dowager Xiao and Xiao Ran went to the front line, Ling Kun was not able to move anymore, Ling Kun did not move, and Shangguan Allure naturally did not have to work hard

The battle was back to its original state, and there was not even a shout of killing, only the sound of ròu weapons entering (puff) was heard.

Ling Kun was given goosebumps by this cruel scene, it was too cruel to fight like this, and it had to be stopped immediately. He also ignored Zhao Heng's will, and turned (shēn) to order: "Mingjin collects the troops." ”

The general gave an order, the gong sounded, and the Song army withdrew from the battle and returned to Beicheng.

The Liao army is still like a dead man, not roaring, not screaming, not advancing or retreating, and his face is iron-blooded and indifferent.

Zhao Heng saw all this at the head of the city, Hun (shēn) was terrified and unsteady on his feet, but Zhao Mingyue was holding on to him so as not to fall.

Back in Nancheng, Zhao Heng took a long time to stabilize and came out to discuss with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a solution, if you continue to fight like this, no one will survive, in my opinion, it is better to return to the original state, it is already very good."

Restored to its original state, that is, Youyun is still in the hands of the Liao people. Kou Zhun was anxious on the spot when he heard this, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The emperor must not, once the opportunity is lost, it will never come again, and the Liao army can desperately protect Youyun, which shows the importance of Youyun (xìng)." ”

"I know that Youyun is important, but we can't beat it, you can also see it, the Liao army is not afraid of death, we can't take advantage." Zhao Heng said irritably.

"The Liao army can be fierce and not afraid of death, why can't the army of our Great Song Dynasty and the Celestial Dynasty, as long as the emperor is firm enough, our army can also fight to the death with them."

Chen Yaosuo said: "Lord Kou, the two sides will fight to the death and die together, what good will it do us, we are all dead, who will receive Youyun?" Besides, at that time, even if any little bandit who occupies the mountain can enter Kaifeng and become the king, what else do you want Youyun to do? ”

Kou Zhun was speechless, unable to defend for a while, but he still did not retreat, and said fiercely: "The minister swears to fight the Khitan people to the end, and the Ming (rì) crossed the Yellow River, and he will never return to Henan in this life." ”

Gao Qiong knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Weichen has been a soldier for generations, and he can't defend the territory for the imperial court, so he is willing to leave the bones of a (shēn) on the front line. ”

For a while, there was a mess in the court, the main and faction calmly analyzed the pros and cons, and the main battle faction was red-eyed, and they had to cross the river and never come back.

Zhao Heng could only turn his gaze for help to Ling Kun, who was the only calm one
