Yelu Zongyuan was slowly on the way to Shanzhou, and he thought that what he said this time must be as fast as possible, one step ahead of the Song people, so he and his men rode faster, and she began to ride her horse to prepare for the Liao military camp in Lanzhou.

Don't mention Yelu Zongyuan, and say that Xiao Tianzuo at this time has been waiting for the news to arrive these days, in his opinion, there must be something wrong with the emperor sending Yelu Zongyuan, he has received news in the past few days, saying that Yelu Zongyuan has set off from Youzhou in Liao to the vicinity of Lanzhou, and joined him.

In his opinion, time is running out, but the more critical the moment is when the people's hearts are fluctuating, this time he has so many soldiers and horses, and was resisted by the Yang family father and son outside Chaozhou City, which shows that for him, Lanzhou City is not so easy to attack, in his opinion, Lanzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the land is located in the Central Plains to defend the city, and he and others have been attacking continuously these days, resulting in his own futility, which shows that the Song Dynasty is not so easy to capture. He realized that this time Yelu Zongyuan came, not to attack the city, but to have another mission, although the emperor did not say, he himself can be sure of it.

So this time, he deliberately found Yelu Huge, Xiao Ming and other people, and the only purpose was to understand the emperor's intentions, so as to implement the next move in order to seek a preemptive strike.

Xiao Tianzuo looked at this group of subordinates and asked: It is not advisable to attack the city now, what do you mean by your majesty doing this.

I saw Yelu Hugo walk out and said to Xiao Tianzuo: In my opinion, the emperor sent him, the purpose is very simple, that is, he hopes that we will take Lanzhou as soon as possible, Chaozhou is located in the Central Plains, and if you get Shanzhou, you can cut into the Central Plains, I think the emperor asked him to come to us to bomb Lanzhou City with him, so he told us to wait!

Xiao Ming also came out and said: What the general said is extremely true, now our Daliao can be described as an unfavorable battle situation, the Song people are winning one after another, and our army has been defeated repeatedly, I also think the meaning is the same as what General Yelu Xiuge said, it may be to boost our morale.

Xiao Tianzuo's subordinates also supported his views and felt that what they said made some sense. But Xiao Tianzuo secretly thought in his heart that it seemed that it was okay to let this group of people fight, as soon as he analyzed others and understood the situation, he completely lacked the ability to analyze the battle situation, otherwise why would the result be like this. How unfortunate I was to have such a stupid teammate.

At this time, Xiao Tianzuo patiently explained and said: Since you know that the emperor sent a letter, you must also understand the emperor's intentions, the emperor did this for three reasons, one is that the emperor knows that the Song people in the Central Plains have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, and it is very difficult to seize these places. And the geographical environment of Lanzhou is different, here if we add Yelu Zongyuan, although the number of troops has increased, but they can rely on the defense of the city wall and actively defend our army, such a result The emperor can also predict, this group of generals have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, and they are well aware of the border defense of the Central Plains, so I guess what the emperor means is that it is not for our army to fight with the Song army, but for other reasons for us to do it. It is also the most important point, that is, the emperor does not want us to engage the Song army, but let us work with Yelu Zongyuan to try our best to avoid a battle with the Song army as soon as possible, and at the same time let the Song State feel the sincerity of our Great Liao Emperor.

This group of people understood at once, they understood the emperor's plan with calculations, and began to praise the emperor's cleverness, in their opinion, the emperor was far-sighted, and they themselves were beyond their reach, and they just said a word about the emperor's wisdom, and they deeply admired it.

At this time, Yelu Xiuge asked again: Mr. Tianzuo, do you mean that the emperor does not want to fight with the Song people, but wants Mr. Tianzuo and Yelu Zongyuan to discuss peace with the Song State?

Xiao Tianzuo nodded, and then said: You are right, I mean this, to be precise, this is what the emperor meant, the emperor does not want to fight, he wants to use this opportunity to negotiate peace with the Song people, the emperor does not want to fight, but now the war is not for his interests at all, and the hope itself is not big, in the Central Plains, the saying is that you can't give up the child can't trap the wolf, as long as we give up some small things for the time being, maybe there will be something bigger later, this is what the emperor means, the emperor just wants to take advantage of this opportunity, to get the Song people's things, and secondly, if the Song people send us things, then we can get a lot of what we want, and at the same time, it can also make the people of the Central Plains lose trust in the Song State, which is beneficial and harmless for our Great Liao, this is what the emperor really wants to do, if it is not for the emperor to give me, I can't tell it, the emperor's wisdom is unmatched. It seems that this time we have to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the things that the Song people have given us together with Yelu Zongyuan.

Yelu Zongyuan's mission this time, he also received the emperor's letter, and then handed the emperor's letter to them, and after they read it, they all felt deeply admired by the emperor's previous behavior.

At this time, Xiao Tianzuo's subordinates began to inquire: The emperor is wise and sage, I admire it. So, my lord, are we going to do nothing? Just waiting for them there?

Brother Yelu Xiu didn't know, and Xiao Ming didn't know either, but Xiao Tianzuo knew what to do and how to implement it next. He began to explain patiently and said: Now this situation, I can't do anything else, now we can do one thing, that is, wait or clean up the camp and wait for them, but in my opinion, not only Yelu Zongyuan will arrive first, in my opinion, the Song people are bound to come, since we can all send people to promote cooperation, but the Song Dynasty, a dynasty that is very suspicious of its subordinates, will also come, and he will not look at his subordinates holding military power for a long time. So I estimate that the emperor of the Song people, Zhao Guangyi, will also come, and most of their ideas are also in cooperation with us, because their emperor Zhao Guangyi is very suspicious of his subordinates, he said at this time that he is here to celebrate, but in fact he does not want to fight with our army, I believe that as long as the conditions we put forward are within their acceptability, I think they will also agree, so the next thing we have to do is to clean up the camp and wait for this group of people to arrive.

The subordinates felt that what Xiao Tianzuo said was very reasonable, so they prepared a broom, prepared to clean up the camp and take care of it, and planned to welcome Yelu Zongyuan and them, and at the same time, a bigger conspiracy was slowly attacking the Song people.
