Yeluren is a smart man first, and smart people have to use smart people's methods to deal with it, and Li Zhang also prescribes the right medicine, he did not use fame and fortune to tempt the other party, but directly persuaded him with the future of the Khitans, and it really worked, although Yeluren did not agree on the spot, but looking at his appearance, as long as the Great Song Dynasty defeated Zhongjing, Yeluren first lost the last trace of hope, and then he would definitely agree to be used by the Great Song Dynasty.

Although Yelu Renxian has his selfish intentions, but the Great Song Dynasty can also use him to appease the Khitans, almost all of the Liao Kingdom has been supported by Yelu Renxian over the years, and his reputation in the Liao State is also extremely high, if he is willing to help the Great Song Dynasty pacify the Khitan, he will definitely be able to stabilize the Liao realm in the shortest possible time.

A few days later, Cao Mata's army also killed in Zhongjing, but before the army could attack the city, Di Qing on the other side suddenly came with good news: they actually defeated Shangjing in one fell swoop.

Originally, Di Qing's strategic goal was Raozhou, because according to the previous calculation, it was very difficult to take Shangjing with their troops, even if they tried their best to really take Shangjing, I am afraid that Di Qing's troops would also suffer heavy losses, and it would be difficult to contribute in this war in the future.

Therefore, Di Qing and their goal chose Raozhou, which is easier, although Raozhou is also a big city of Liao, but after all, it cannot be compared with Wujing, and there are not many garrisons in the city, as long as they lay here, they can cut off the connection between Shangjing and Zhongjing, so as to cut off the road of Zhongjing to the north.

It's just that no one expected that the Liao State sent the Jurchens to Shangjing to support was a big stupid move, when Di Qing killed in Shangjing before, the Jurchens had just arrived, and in the face of the threat of Di Qing's department, the Khitans and the Jurchens were still a little restrained, but there was no big conflict.

But just after Di Qing led the army to leave Shangjing with a false shot, the contradictions between the Khitans and the Jurchens immediately broke out, in the eyes of the Khitans, the Jurchens were a group of two-legged beasts, in fact, the Jurchens were indeed in the primitive society period, acting very barbaric, and they would only use force to solve things when they encountered them.

Shangjing is the birthplace of the Khitan people, and the Khitan nobles here are extremely old-fashioned, coupled with the fact that the living habits of the Jurchens are completely different from those of the Khitans, the contradictions between the two sides are getting deeper and deeper, and finally they broke out almost without warning.

But the contradiction between the two sides is too deep, and as long as the fight starts, it will get more and more hot, and finally from the brawl directly evolved into a direct war between the armies of the two sides, the two sides fought in Beijing as the battlefield, and even the Jurchens had the upper hand for a time, after all, these Jurchens really didn't want to die when they went crazy, and the garrison in Beijing had been peaceful for many years, and they rarely had the opportunity to see blood in peacetime, so they were not the opponents of the Jurchens for a while.

However, this kind of chaos in Shangjing was quickly ended, and no one expected that Di Qing, who had already left, would kill a horse pistol, and take advantage of the chaos in Shangjing to seize Shangjing in one fell swoop, and the Jurchens and Khitans who dared to resist were all headed, and then the entire Shangjing finally quieted down.

In fact, when Di Qing left Shangjing before, he guessed that the Jurchens and the Khitans might have a conflict, so although his army left, he left spies to pay attention to the situation in the city, and when the two sides fought, he had just arrived in Raozhou, and then he decisively gave up Raozhou, and really won the capital in one fell swoop.

When the news of the capture of Shangjing came out, the morale of the Song army was also greatly boosted, while the morale of the Liao army was low, because it meant that their back road was cut off, although they had other directions to retreat, such as retreating east into Goryeo, but it was surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there was no other way out, and if they really withdrew to Goryeo, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

Cao Mata led a large army to besiege Zhongjing City, and Yelu Zongzhen personally climbed to the top of the city to meet the battle, but Cao Mata did not rush to attack the city, but instead asked people to shoot letters into the middle, trumpeting the fact that Shangjing was captured, and at the same time persuading the people in the city to surrender, as long as they surrendered, so as not to suffer from the sword soldiers.

Cao Mata's move is actually to play psychological warfare, now the Great Song Dynasty has an absolute advantage, and the defenders in the capital are only 50,000 people, although the number seems to be a lot, but in fact, they are all newly recruited, many of them are teenagers Khitan teenagers have been conscripted into the army, even the old man does not let go, and even some grandchildren have appeared in the same camp.

With these 50,000 patchwork of miscellaneous troops, Yelu Zongzhen could not hold Zhongjing at all, but he still refused to surrender, and even climbed to the top of the city every day to boost morale, but the psychological warfare on the side of the Great Song Dynasty was also very powerful.

In fact, if Yeluren was there first, he could still help Yeluzong really stabilize the hearts of the people in the city, at least he could help him watch those ministers, but now Yeluren has become a prisoner of the Great Song Dynasty, and I heard that the Great Song Dynasty did not kill him, which made many ministers also moved, and the Great Song Dynasty could even tolerate Yeluren first, let alone them.

"Kill! Kill them all! Above the main hall, Yelu Zongzhen roared with an angry face, and the ministers in the hall were all trembling with fear, last night someone wanted to take advantage of the darkness to go out of the city, but was found by the defenders, and found a letter, and this letter was written by a minister in the city to Cao Mata outside the city, the purpose is naturally self-evident, which made Yelu Zongzhen also angry, and immediately ordered the other party to be arrested, and beheaded to show the public.

If Yelu Ren was here first, he might still dare to persuade him, but now no one in the hall dared to speak out, and even Yelu Zhi, who was very trusted by Yelu Zongzhen, hesitated again and again at this time, and finally lowered his head silently.

Yelu Zongzhen saw that all his ministers were silent, but he felt even more angry, and even wanted to kill all these people, of course, he could only think about it, if he really killed these ministers, I am afraid that the city would be full of flames the next day.

In the end, Yelu Zongzhen lost his temper and announced the dispersion of the dynasty angrily, which made the ministers also like they were amnesty, and they all withdrew from the hall and left quickly, for fear that Yelu Zongzhen would take them to the knife, but Yelu Zhirang was left by Yelu Zongzhen, which made him quite depressed.

"Zhirang, Ren was captured first, you are the most trusted person around me!" After the others retreated, Yelu Zongzhen stared at Yelu Zhirang at this time and spoke.
