After the fall of the Liao State, the 100,000 Liao troops stationed on the border of the Xia and Song Dynasties led by Xiao Yuanshan became a lone army, although the Liao army still controls the territory within a radius of 100 miles, but without the backing of the Liao State, this small piece of territory is likely to be said to be no! Moreover, the fall of the Liao State also gave a great shock to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty court was also in turmoil for a while.

Yongjing Military Town, the Mansion of the Marshal of the Liao Army.

When the Great Song Dynasty has not yet given a conclusion, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty has arrived here, this Great Song Dynasty envoy represents not the Great Song Dynasty, but the Great Song Dynasty Zhao King Zhao Xu, for the combat effectiveness of the cavalry located in the Liao enclave, Zhao Yan is deeply touched, in recent years, whenever the Liao army goes south, it will bring immeasurable losses to the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the Great Wall defense line in the north of the Great Song Dynasty has not been completed until today.

"General Xiao, you might as well think about it, although there is enmity between Song and Liao, but there is a greater enmity between Liaoxia and Xia, the general can look at the world today, the homeland of Liao, my Great Song Dynasty has taken up a penny, is it the reason for the general to give up this hatred of destroying the country and descend to Xia?" Liu Changzuo said to Xiao Yuanshan; "The general might as well think about it, now that the Xia country is powerful, with millions of soldiers and thousands of good generals, what can the general get when he descends to Xia? The general can look at those who descended into the summer, how many can lead the army alone, in this troubled era, there is no military power, how to ensure the glory and wealth of the general......"

Liu Changzuo persuaded Xiao Yuanshan from both big and small aspects, Xiao Yuanshan fell into deep thought when he heard Liu Changzuo's words, Liu Changzuo's words are very reasonable, there is indeed little hope of taking charge of the army again in the summer, but it is also beneficial! That is, the safety of life in this life can be guaranteed, and you can also return to your homeland; Although the Song Dynasty can continue to hold military power, but now that the Liao State has perished, can the Great Song Dynasty stop the pace of the Xia army moving south? Xiao Yuanshan was worried about this.

"Lord Liu persuaded the general to surrender to the Song Dynasty, it is nothing more than to take a fancy to the 100,000 iron cavalry under the command of the general, this is the most elite army in my Great Liao, once the general surrenders to the Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty is equivalent to getting a strong cavalry for no reason, which is very good for the Great Song Dynasty, but in the future, if we brothers don't buy their lives for the Great Song Dynasty on the belt of their trousers, there must be some benefits!" Xiao Yuanshan said.

"The general can rest assured, as long as the general can submit to my Great Song Dynasty, my prince will definitely protect the general from the imperial court without losing the position of prince, and the 100,000 army is still commanded by the general, and the food and salary required by the army are all supplied by my Great Song Dynasty; Of course, my prince also has a request, that is, the general must obey the orders of my prince from now on, and send troops to cooperate with our Great Song soldiers and horses to fight against the Xia army when the Xia army goes south......"

Xiao Yuanshan heard these very approvals in his heart, the Great Song Dynasty was able to offer such a price was already very high, but Xiao Yuanshan did not immediately agree, Xiao Yuanshan said to Liu Changzuo: "This matter is very important, this marshal will only be able to decide after discussing with the generals, the annoying lord will go to the post house to rest first, and the Japanese marshal will reply to the lord tomorrow." ”

"The general pleases me and takes my leave."

After Liu Changzuo left, Xiao Yuanshan summoned the generals and said: "In today's situation, the commander is not to mention that the generals are also clear, although our army claims to have 100,000 troops, in fact there are only more than 60,000 people, and we are sandwiched between Song and Xia, and the situation is critical; Now there are two ways to choose from in front of us, the first is to surrender to the Great Xia Empire, and the second is to submit to the Great Song Dynasty, let's talk about it! What should we do? ”

"General, we have been at war with the Great Song Dynasty all these years, isn't it too risky to submit to them, if they secretly attack us, we won't even have the slightest chance to resist." An adjutant general said worriedly.

"Yes......" everyone agreed.

Xiao Yuanshan continued: "What you said is not unreasonable, but so far the envoys of the Xia Kingdom have never come, so it can be seen that the Xia Kingdom does not attach importance to us, once we descend to the summer, the result can be imagined, everyone sitting here and the commander will be transferred, so as to lose the opportunity to take charge of the army, without the army as a guarantee, we will become fish on the chopping board, please wait for others to slaughter!" ”

"What does the general mean is that it is more beneficial for us to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty?"

"Not bad." Xiao Yuanshan said; "The Great Song Dynasty has always been dominated by foot soldiers, and there are not many cavalry; After we return to the Song, we will definitely be taken seriously, and the Song envoy has assured the commander that after the return to the Song Dynasty, this army will still be our commander, and all the grain and grass supplies will be supplied by the Great Song Dynasty, and it will be allocated according to the number of 100,000 troops......"

"General, there is another question, we not only have an army of 60,000, but also hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children, these people are our relatives, what will they do after returning to the Song Dynasty?"

"When the time comes, the commander will ask the Great Song Dynasty to allocate a piece of land to us, and transfer our relatives and troops to the rear to rest; Generals, this army is the foundation of our foothold in the world, and this commander doesn't want us to be hurt in the slightest unless it is absolutely necessary......"

"The handsome Shengming ......"

"If the generals don't have any other proposals, then this matter will be done like this, and I ask you brothers to explain this matter to the brothers when they go back." Xiao Yuanshan said to everyone; "Our army's combat power is stronger than that of the Song army, even if the Song army wants to deal with us, we have a chance to resist......"

After convincing the generals, Xiao Yuanshan summoned Liu Changzuo again the next day and said straight to the point: "Lord Liu, this commander has persuaded other generals, but we still have a few conditions that we hope Lord Liu will agree. ”

"If General Xiao has anything to say, just say it."

"First of all, after our army is submissive, it must not be dispersed, but it is still under the command of the commander; Second, in addition to the 100,000 army, there are hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children, and the commander hopes that the Great Song Dynasty can provide a place for them to live, and the third commander returns to the Song Dynasty to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, do not pay tribute and do not go to the court, and the fourth must not settle old accounts. ”

"This matter is very important, and this official needs to ask my prince before he can give an answer to the general."

"Then please hurry up, Lord Liu, there is a saying that late will change."

On the same day, Liu Changzuo returned to the Great Song Dynasty and went to the Daimyo's Mansion to meet Zhao Yan, and told Zhao Yan about Xiao Yuanshan's conditions one by one. Go back and tell Xiao Yuanshan that except for the third day, the king can't agree, and the rest can promise him. ”

"Lord Wang, will this be too tight, once they fall into the summer, it will be a big deal." Liu Changzuo said.

Zhao Yu said confidently: "Don't worry! Even if he gave Xiao Yuanshan ten guts, he didn't dare to descend into the summer, now the Great Xia Empire is like the sky, and their army will inevitably be annexed after the summer, and they, the generals of the Liao State, are waiting to be a cold bench! ”

"But Lord Wang, if we surrender this Liao army, if they don't surrender sincerely, there will be chaos at that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up!"

"Don't worry about this, we control the logistics supply of this army, as long as they have a little rebellion, this king will cut off their food and grass, you don't forget that they are not only the army, but also a large group of old and weak women and children, this is our hostage......" Zhao Yan smiled strangely.

Thanks to the lazy readers for five recommendations, there will be a more one later, it's a little late today, Tianyu apologizes to everyone......
