In 982 AD, on August 6, in the autumn of the first year of Liao Kaixing, in the seventh year of Song Taiping's rejuvenation of the country, Yang Jingzheng, the general of the Song army, was gathering a large army and preparing to attack Xingping. At this moment, their army is also slowly moving towards Xingping. At this moment, Yang Jing looked at his subordinates, and said with a smile: "Your opportunity has come, send troops north at this moment, and you will definitely be able to catch the enemy off guard." ”.

The subordinates also said with a smile: "My lord is really powerful, he can use their current target to put the envoy's place, when he is weak, will it be a bit despicable to launch an attack on his subordinates who want to do this, this group of people is not a simple person, you said that they can think of your plan." ”.

Yang Jing smiled and then spoke, "Isn't it despicable for Yelu Longxu to invade our land?" In the current situation, you also said that we took advantage of their inability to defend against them, so we launched an attack. Besides, I heard that Yelulong is still in Xingping, and if we can capture him alive when the time comes, it will definitely be good for us. What's more, the soldiers are treacherous, we are not doing this for ourselves, we are doing this all for our Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that I understand the current Xingping City, the current Xingping has no major generals at all, that Yelu Xiuge is brave and unscrupulous, and it is easy for us to take it down. This time, we will definitely be able to achieve the effect of taking them by surprise and attacking them by surprise. ”

At this time, they asked, "Then what should we do next, general?" ”

Yang Jing thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "We are only fifty meters away from the entire Xingping now, so this time we must capture Xingping, and pass on my general order to enter Xingping City, and Marshal Yang and I decided to take it together." This time, we can't delay any longer, go straight to Xingping, and regain the lost ground! ”

Yang Jing's army, the screams were loud to the sky, the aura of killing was very obvious, and the screams of killing broke through the entire Xingping City. The people are all talking, this group of people are wondering if they want to recover their homeland, they didn't have much resistance to the Liao army's previous entry into the city, after all, the taxes were much more lenient than the Song Dynasty, and Yelu Longxu also collected as little food as possible in the city, unlike the Great Song Dynasty, as long as it was taxed, it tried its best to squeeze it, and tried its best to covet it.

At this time, the people in the city opened their mouths to discuss, only to see them open their mouths and say: "It seems that this time the Great Song Dynasty is really going to break through Xingping, seeing the situation outside the city, there are not 100,000, but 80,000, it seems that there is a military disaster again, and the unlucky ones are not our group of people." ”

Someone else also said, "Who says it's not? Seems to be the case again? I really don't want to go back to the Great Song Dynasty, they are too oppressive, I would rather be a Liao person than a Song person. ”

The restlessness of the people led to a big problem in the situation in Xingping, and Yelu Longxu was sitting in his place at this time, and he was discussing the reception with Yelu Huge. When I saw this soldier coming, I saw him suddenly speak: "Report to your lord, there are 80,000 horses stationed outside Xingping City, and their soldiers are very strong, as if they are going to attack Xingping, and their subordinates want to come and ask your lord what to do next?" ”

Yelulong continued to smile and said: "Haha, as expected, they appeared at the right time, don't panic, according to our current strength, it is difficult to be the opponent of the other party, but we can use clever tactics." The enemy's goal of gathering a large army must be to take Xingping, General Hugh Ge Now you go to appease the people, at this time the people must be restless, so I will hand over the people in the city to you, remember to try your best to comfort, since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, so the people must be as peaceful as possible, must ensure the normal operation of Xingping City, and you and I go out together, I think since they want to attack, they must want to scold us first, the so-called salute before the soldiers, I think let's see how they scold! ”

Yelu Xiuge opened his mouth and said: "Please rest assured, the last general will not disappoint him, and the last general will definitely ensure the stability of the city and live up to your majesty's trust." ”

Yelulong continued to smile and said: "I don't suspect that I use people, I believe that you will live up to my expectations, I can say that I have great confidence in you, I will leave this matter to you, you go quickly!" ”

Yelu Hugo also said that his subordinates received orders. Yeluon smiled and said to the soldier, "Tell me about the situation outside the city. ”

The soldier also said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the villain saw a general standing in the middle outside the city, but they didn't start it, the situation is just as the villain reported at that time, but what do you say we should do next!"

Yelulong nodded, and then said with a smile: "Okay, I already know what the situation is, as the old saying goes, salute first and then soldier, it seems that they all want to see our situation and then make a decision, in that case, you will follow me, I want to see what their next group of people want to do?" ”

Yelu Longxu had already walked out of Yelu Huge's mansion at this time, he walked out of the city gate, and came to the city wall, only to see him look at the situation, and sighed in his heart that there were really a lot of people and horses, and this battle was really a bit difficult to fight. Yelulong continued to ask someone to open the city gate, only to see him sitting outside the city gate, and suddenly said with a smile: "Your Excellency is so polite, I don't know what the reason for General Yang to suddenly invade my territory!" You didn't sign a contract with our Da Liao or something, what is the reason why you have gathered a large army like this! If you say it, it will provoke people all over the world to laugh at you, and I advise you to go back, because after all, if you don't handle the relationship between the two countries well, it will be a disaster. ”

Yang Jing laughed and then said: "Haha, the contract is just empty words, just empty words, and if our two countries really have such a good relationship, you Daliao will not ask us for benefits." What's more, everyone is a smart person, they know what to do, what to want, and there is this place that is originally ours, we just take back what we should want, not to mention that the assistant is our Da Song, you directly say that it is your territory, doesn't it make people feel even more ridiculous? ”

Yelulong continued to smile and said: "Haha, originally this was the land of your country, but now this place has been ceded to us by your emperor to our Great Liao Kingdom, and this is our Great Liao, and this is also what we obtained with our own ability, how can this be yours?" If you want to blame us, you can't blame us, and you can't blame your emperor for being stupid, otherwise how could it end up like this? ”

The group of generals who heard this sentence were furious, only to see them angrily open their mouths and say: "You bastard, dare to insult Your Majesty, we will make you pay the agency price, and we will kill you first when you enter the city!"

At this time, Yang Jing also said with a smile: "You see the temper of our group. I'm giving you a chance, get out of the way, we can spare your life, as long as you let us rush in, our benefits must be great, otherwise don't blame us for being polite. ”

Yelu Longxu also gave up a position, and then said: "You don't tell us not to attack, then you can go in!" Spread the order of our army not to attack, let our friend go in directly, let him feel our sincerity? Come in, let's get in! ”

Yelulong's continued approach made Yang Jing a little curious, he thought that this must be the enemy's trick, at this time Yang Jing thought about it for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Pass my military order, the whole army will continue to retreat, don't let the enemy find something." ”

At this moment, this group of people had no choice but to retreat, only to see that they said yes, adults, we understand, we know what to do? Looking at the retreat of the Song soldiers outside the city gate, the soldier just now asked: "How did Your Majesty's group of people retreat, the villain didn't understand whether the Song people had any conspiracy or other reasons." ”

Yelulong continued to smile and said: "It's not these, this group of people are afraid of the purpose of my move this time, they must be suspicious, this time if it is my Yelulong continued trickery, worried that I have arranged something in the city this time, afraid that there will be ambushes and the like, but looking at the current situation, they will not suddenly attack in a short time, this time they will not give up easily, I have a hunch that the enemy will definitely not give up, and the conspiracy is still to come!" ”

At this time, the soldier also followed Yelulong into the city gate, he asked someone to close the city gate, and the city gate was guarded, and the city wall was strengthened. What are the calculations of both sides? 21
