After Raozhou, all the way north, all the way to the mountains. The mountains in this area are not high, the terrain is gentle, the grass is green, and it is a natural pasture. There are many military states under the head of the Khitan, at this time Huluduo has been destroyed, these military states under the head have not resisted, and the Song army will sacrifice the city when it arrives. Du Zhongxiao strictly restrained the soldiers, except for taking the grain stocks of various military states, and did not kill too much.

This era is different from later generations, and it is very rare to not kill people and rob things during war. The Khitans knew about the places occupied by the Song army, and they did not wantonly kill, poke and destroy, and were not very afraid. After these places were returned to the Song Dynasty, no one knew, so why bother thinking so much? In Dadingfu, in addition to garrisoning, the Song Dynasty still relied on some of the original officials to manage.

A few days later, the Song army came to the Huang Mansion. Wang Kai led a large army to enter the city, and Du Zhongxiao, Jia Kui, Zhao Zi and others were stationed in Hongfu Temple in the south of the city.

Hongfu Temple is a Khitan royal temple with a large scale and many monks. Du Zhongxiao ordered the monks to be managed separately, and the places where he and others lived were all managed by the Song army. This place is already the root of the Khitan, so you must be careful.

At night, he ordered a sheep to be killed, and several generals were called to discuss the next battle.

As soon as Zhao Zi came in, he smelled the smell of meat, and said with a smile: "This is the pure land of Buddhism, but Taiwei eats meat here." When those monks saw it, they didn't break their bellies? Captain, in the future, they will make up stories to arrange you. ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "This is the temple of the Hu people, the rules are different from those of the Central Plains, and the monks may not fast." ”

Zhao Zi and Jia Kui both laughed when they heard this. Take your seats.

Ordered the soldiers to pour the wine, Du Zhongxiao said: "Now that our soldiers are coming to the city of Linhuangfu, the queen mother and queen of the Khitan are not far away, they are waiting for us in the city." And ye say, What do these two women mean? ”

Zhao Zi said: "What can it mean?" Now that the Khitan trend has gone, it is estimated that the city will be surrendered. ”

Jia Kui on the side said: "The Khitan is different from the Central Plains, and the Queen Mother has always been strong. If something happened to the emperor, according to their rules, it should be the queen mother's regent. For so long, the Khitan did not establish a new emperor, which should be related to the queen mother. Now like this, the Khitan should have another deep meaning. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "When the soldiers are in the city, it is useless to have any deep meaning. According to my thoughts, the Khitan did not transfer troops to Linhuang Mansion, and the Queen Mother did not lead people to escape, so there was only one way, that is, to surrender the city. No matter what other means, there is no use in front of the army. ”

In fact, in his heart, Du Zhongxiao also muttered a little, and he didn't understand the meaning of the Khitan people now. A big empire, of course, there is no shortage of talents, and normally speaking, there will be no shortage of ideas at this time. But in reality, this is only theoretical. What really happened, beside the Queen Mother and the Queen, there is no need to be surprised what happened. Don't talk about the Khitan, when the Jin people attacked the Northern Song Dynasty in history, a series of operations by the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty made people feel incredible. As long as you have a right mind, you won't do that kind of thing.

Since the destruction of the main Khitan force last year, it has been half a year now, and of course the Khitan will not be calm inside, but the Song Dynasty does not know. In the current Khitan, it is not surprising that the decision-making level is a grass platform team. In fact, in this kind of apocalyptic empire, in the final moments, the decisions are often funny.

After drinking for a while, Zhao Zi said, "What the captain said is right. Now it seems that our 100,000 army, the Khitan simply can't stop it. If the Khitan can still organize tens of thousands of people, it may not be impossible to fight with us. But now there are less than 10,000 people in Linhuang Mansion, what's the use? ”

Jia Kui said: "That's right. Along the way, I was thinking that the Khitan really had no other way out than surrender. ”

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while and said, "Our army is coming north, this is fundamental. No matter what the Khitans think, as long as they don't surrender, then fight. First of all, based on fighting, in order to have a good result. As long as we dare to fight, the Khitan will be useless. ”

Jia Kui and Zhao Zi said yes. At this point, the Khitan really has no good way. Relying on less than 10,000 people, you want to resist the 100,000 Song army, this kind of thing can only be thought about.

The three of them drank wine and ate meat, and they broke up until late at night.

Du Zhongxiao returned to his residence. Just as he was about to rest, Ning Tan, the general of the guards, hurriedly came in and said with his crossed hands: "Tai Lieutenant, there are people outside who ask to see." ”

Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment and said, "It's already late at night, who is coming to see you?" If it's not an emergency, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

Ning Tan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a Dai official in Linhuang Mansion, doing silk business. Because he was originally from the Song Dynasty, after being told to agree, he kept inquiring about the Khitan military situation, and was sent by Taiwei Li to take it away. He came secretly and said that he had something important to see the captain. ”

Du Zhongxiao listened and was silent for a while, so he had to cheer up and say, "You let him wait in the living room, and I'll wash my face and go." ”

Ning said frankly: "Tai Wei, Dai Guanren specially said that it is best to have a private place. ”

Du Zhongxiao listened to it and couldn't help but be stunned for a while. A businessman who gathers intelligence, at this time, what secrets are there? The Song army has already approached the city, and the military situation in the city is fully known, can the Khitan still turn the tables? After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Okay, you take them to my study." I drank a little too much, washed my face, and went to see him. ”

Ning Tan sang a promise with his hands and walked out quickly.

Du Zhongxiao washed his face and cleared his mind a little. After thinking about it again and again, I still couldn't think of any emergency military situation that Dai Guanren could have. After thinking about it, now the Khitans want to turn the tables, but they are afraid that they can only make up their minds on themselves. Don't go to the Khitan capital, the Khitans came to assassinate the boss, took their own lives, and came to a Jedi to survive.

Out of the door, Du Zhongxiao ordered the four guards to follow him to the door of the study. After so many years in the army, Du Zhongxiao knows that there is no master like in the movies in his previous life, and a few guards are enough to protect himself.

There were two people standing in the study. A middle-aged man saw Du Zhongxiao coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, it was Dai Guanren. There was also a thin man standing next to him, dressed in black, with a big felt hat on his head, and he couldn't tell what he looked like.

Du Zhongxiao replied, looked at the man in black, and said to Dai Guan: "Dai Guanren came here late at night, there must be something important." I don't know what to call this one? Who is Dai Guanren? ”

Dai Guanren rubbed his hands and said, "Taiwei, tonight I was entrusted by someone, I have to do this, and I ask Taiwei to forgive me." This person's identity is extremely noble, how can it fall in the eyes of ordinary people? Please also ask the captain to retreat left and right, and he will understand. ”

Du Zhongxiao said with a smile: "I am the commander of the first army, I brought the army here, and I acted in a dignified manner, so I am afraid that others will see it!" These are my personal guards tonight, and you can rest assured that they will not leak the news without my orders. ”

Dai Guanren kept rubbing his hands there, so anxious that he turned in circles, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, the man in black over there turned around, gently took off the felt hat on his head, and whispered to Du Zhongxiao: "The concubine is Xiao Guanyin, the queen of Daliao, and I came to see the captain tonight." The country is about to die, and it has to be like this, so why should you be afraid of others seeing it? ”

Du Zhongxiao looked at the person in front of him, less than twenty years old, with a fair complexion, unusually beautiful, and was looking at himself quietly. For a while, a thousand thoughts turned in my mind, and I didn't know what it meant. As the Khitan queen, if you want to surrender, just send someone to talk. In the middle of the night, I came here to see myself, what was my idea?
