Anle City was broken, Cao Mata's army immediately rushed to Zhongjing, and Li Zhang also advanced with the army, and at the same time he also personally wrote a battle report to Zhao Zhen behind, although Zhao Zhen could not be in the battle array, but it was not bad to look at the battle report.

However, what interests Li Zhang the most is that at the end of this war, Yelu Renxian was captured, and he was personally captured by Huyan Shouxin, which is really a surprise, although Li Zhang has always wanted to capture Yelu Renxian alive, but with the other party's resourcefulness, the hope of capturing him alive is too small, but he didn't expect to succeed in the end.

In fact, Yelu Renxian had already escaped from the city, but the cavalry horses of Huyan and the trustworthy horses were fast, and when they caught up, the Liao army immediately divided a cavalry to break the queen, in fact, this cavalry is equivalent to a death squad, they stayed and did not plan to go back, and what was even more unexpected was that this broken cavalry was led by Yelu Renxian himself, and as a result, the Liao army in front of him fled, but Yelu Renxian was captured alive.

Li Zhang rushed to Zhongjing with the army, but he did not go with Cao Mata, but followed the baggage team in the rear, these materials are relatively cumbersome, the speed is not fast, and at the same time it is very important, so the two sides are also accompanied by heavy troops, and there is definitely no problem with safety.

Li Zhang lifted the horse and walked a few steps quickly, and soon followed a special prisoner cart, saying that it was a prisoner cart, but in fact it was a special carriage, surrounded by wooden planks to block the wind, and there was fur in it, and a gray-haired man sat in the car, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Brother Ren Xian, how many days have you rested?" Li Zhang came to the prisoner car, and asked with a smile at Yeluren in the car, when Yeluren was just captured before, Li Zhang wanted to talk to him, but Yelurenxian was very weak and unwilling to speak, and according to Hu Yan's promise, the reason why Yeluren Xian stayed behind seemed to be a desire for death, so Li Zhang gave him a few days to calm down.

Hearing Li Zhang's voice, Yelu Renxian glanced up at him and said, "Thank you Dingbei Hou for taking care of you!" ”

Yeluren first knew that with his identity, even if he was not killed after being captured, he would have to be sent to the rear for interrogation, and he would definitely be tortured a lot, but now he not only eats and sleeps well, but also has been following the army, which must be Li Zhang's contribution.

"Brother Ren Xian doesn't have to be polite, you should still remember what I said back then, as long as Brother Ren Xian is willing, my Great Song must also attach great importance to talents like Brother Ren Xian!" Li Zhang smiled and spoke again.

At the beginning of the Song-Liao alliance, Yelu Renxian personally served as an envoy, and Li Zhang was assigned by Zhao Zhen to receive this Liao envoy, at that time he wanted to recruit Yelu Renxian, but was rejected by the other party, and now he brings up the old matter again, after all, he does appreciate Yelu Renxian very much.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the Marquis of Dingbei, when the army was defeated, I had the heart to die, but I didn't expect that General Huyan didn't kill me, but as a Liao, I will never betray Your Majesty! Betrayal of the Khitan! Yelu Renxian refused very resolutely at this time.

Li Zhang was not surprised by Yelu Renxian's refusal, only to see him smile calmly: "Brother Renxian, you are a smart person, and you are an important minister of the Liao State, you must be very clear about the current situation, in your opinion, is it possible for the current Liao State to turn over?" ”

As soon as Li Zhang's words came out, Yelu Renxian also showed a silent expression, in fact, he was very aware of the current situation, Anle City had concentrated most of the elite of the Liao State, but it still failed to stop the Song army, although the Zhongjing side also mobilized a large army, but after personally feeling the offensive of the Song army, he no longer had any hope for Zhongjing, it can be said that the day of the destruction of the Great Liao is not far away.

It was precisely because of the above prediction that Yelu Renxian had already escaped from Anle City, but he suddenly led his troops to stay behind the public opinion, in fact, he was indeed determined to die at that time, because he really couldn't bear to see the Great Liao Foundation that had been inherited for hundreds of years fall.

Li Zhang looked at Yelu Renxian, who was silent, and spoke again after a while: "It seems that Brother Renxian, you also know that this time the Liao State is already in a catastrophe, even if Yelu Sect can really escape, but the Liao State that has lost Zhongjing has absolutely no hope, unless you learn from Li Yuanhao, who is a party item, immediately flee to the Western Regions, and escape as far away from the Great Song Dynasty as safe." ”

"Rootless duckweed, lost dogs, what's the use of escaping far?" Yelu Renxian sighed at this time, and said with a very gloomy expression.

"Since Brother Ren also knows that the demise of the Liao State is already doomed, have you ever thought about how the Khitan people will deal with themselves after the destruction of the country?" Li Zhang suddenly threw out a big question.

Sure enough, Yeluren was also shocked when he heard this question first, before he was bent on begging for death, although he didn't have the courage to beg for death after being captured alive, he was also living in a daze, and he didn't want to think about anything in his head, but now Li Zhang's question was like a lightning bolt, which suddenly made him sober up.

"My Great Song Dynasty is not a barbarian on the grassland, even if I destroy the Liao State, I will not kill all the Khitans, of course, you Khitan people must have no privileges in the Liao country, and the Khitans will also become the subjects of my Great Song Dynasty in the future, but you Khitan people are used to being people, and now you suddenly fall into a flat-headed people, it will definitely be very uncomfortable, and may even cause trouble because of this, so we need someone to help us manage these Khitans!" Li Zhang stared at Ye Lu Ren at this time and said again.

As the saying goes, "it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to sit on the country", the destruction of the Liao State is only the beginning, and the Great Song Dynasty wants to rule the land of the Liao State, which is the real challenge, the first problem is to deal with the Khitans, and in Li Zhang's vision, the best way is to rule the Khitan with the Khitans, just like the Khitans ruled the Jurchens.

Of course, the Khitan people are different from the Jurchens, they have lived with the Han people for many years, and many customs and habits are not much different from the Han people, as long as their privileges are removed, they are treated the same as the Han people, and there are no ethnic differences, and after a few decades, I am afraid that there will be no Khitan nation.

After Ye Luren listened to Li Zhang's words first, the whole person also showed a contemplative expression, he was loyal to the Liao State, to be precise, loyal to the Khitan, the Liao State can perish, but their Khitan people still have to survive, the Great Song Dynasty will not exterminate the Khitan people, but how to live under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty is a problem, if the Khitan people do not accept the rule and raise troops to make trouble, it will only attract the cruel suppression of the Great Song Dynasty, just like when they suppressed the rebellion of the Bohai people.
