Qigou Pass was victorious, the Song army was completely victorious, and the Liao army was annihilated. Even the Yan King Yeluchun and the princess and others were reduced to prisoners and defeated generals.

"Dashuai, King Yan and Princess Yan are here!"

Zhao Gou raised his head and looked at Yan King Yeluchun and Yan Princess Xiao Puxian, Yelu Chun was born with the appearance of an authentic Khitan, with a full beard and thick eyebrows and big eyes. However, Princess Yan was born small and exquisite, and at first glance she looked more like a delicate woman, not like that kind of heroic person.

"I've seen the big handsome!" King Yan and Princess Yan are both interesting people, they have been reduced to prisoners, but they don't think that they are still high-ranking princes, but they are more like commoners.

Zhao Gou said: "King Yan, if you hadn't evacuated Youzhou, I'm afraid the two of us would have met a long time ago." ”

"You're welcome!" King Yan said respectfully, "Thank you for the grace of the marshal not to kill, I don't know what happened to the marshal today?" ”

Yan King Yeluchun knew that Zhao Gou did not order to kill all of them himself, but treated him with courtesy, so he guessed that Zhao Gou must have something to ask.

"King Yan said so, then I will say it directly!" Zhao Gou said straight to the point, "I want King Yan to come forward to make the generals of Mozhou surrender, I wonder if King Yan will agree?" ”

"This ......" Ye Luchun frowned a little embarrassed, he was the King of Yan, and he was in charge of the power of the sixteen states of Yanyun, but his identity also determined his path.

If Zhao Gou's conditions are agreed, then Ye Luchun will also become a traitor, and he may never have the opportunity to return to Daliao in the future. But, on the other hand, it's also a good thing.

Due to Emperor Liaotianzuo's exclusion of dissidents, even his uncle was on the list of expulsions. If Zhao Gou agrees, then he can form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and his life can be guaranteed.

Nowadays, the power of the Great Song Empire far exceeds that of the Liao army, and the Song Dynasty is vast, which is also an opportunity. If it was an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty before, or if it was low-voiced, it would be a loss of face, but now the status has been reversed.

"We promise!" King Yan was still hesitating, but Princess Yan Xiao Puxian agreed without any hesitation.

"What do the princess's words count?" Zhao Gou had already expected that Xiao Puxian would agree, Yan King Yeluchun was an arbitrary person, rarely decisive in doing things, and hesitated, his words were originally aimed at Princess Yan. Because he knows that Xiao Puxian is not willing to be left behind, and she is also a decisive person.

Ye Luchun glanced at it secretly, and saw that Xiao Pu nodded to him calmly, and he believed his concubine's words.

So, Zhao Gou handed over the task of persuasion to Ye Luchun and Xiao Puxian, the princess of Yan.

The next day, Yeluchun, the king of Yan, came to Mozhou, and when the guards saw that it was the king of Yan, their eyes widened, and their faces were full of incredulity. Due to the great victory of the Song army at Qigou Pass, King Yan and his henchmen and others had become prisoners, and they did not expect to appear here.

Yeluchun consulted with his beloved concubine in the camp about why he agreed to this condition. Until Xiao Puxian told the reasons one by one, Yeluchun was not angry, but ecstatic.

Xiao Puxian told him, "As long as the defenders of the two cities are persuaded to surrender, then the Great Song Dynasty will definitely let us and others live." If we can, we can use this force to make a comeback and directly become emperor. Even if he can't be called the emperor, in the current situation, only the Song Dynasty can compete with the Jin soldiers, this is self-preservation! ”

After weighing the pros and cons, Yeluchun also felt that there was some reason, so he gladly went to persuade him to surrender.

The territory of Da Liao has been attacked by the Jin soldiers, and it is getting smaller and smaller; The Great Song Dynasty went on another northern expedition and attacked the sixteen states of Yanyun. It can be said that the Liao Dynasty suffered from the enemy on its back, Yeluchun thought about it, even if he went back, he was only suspicious of Emperor Tianzuo, or he became a prisoner of the Jin soldiers, and with the hatred of the Jurchens for the Khitan, he would definitely not give up and would definitely be tortured inhumanely.

The Mozhou guard didn't eat this at all, he was reluctant to open the city gate, and let Yan King Yeluchun come in, and even sneered at him, which made Yeluchun angry. However, the city gate was not opened, and it was impossible to persuade him to surrender face-to-face, and in the end, the persuasion failed.

"Yeluchun, as the king of Yan, you are in charge of the political power of the sixteen states of Yanyun, you have a heavy army, and you are a relative of the emperor, you are really not worthy of the surname 'Yelu', that is a stain on this surname. The emperor has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, but you have treasoned against the country, this is unkind and unjust, what face do you have to persuade me to surrender? ”

Zhao Gou saw that Yeluchun's persuasion to surrender failed, and then he also personally ordered the army to surround Waqiaoguan.

In fact, the Mozhou guards were not stationed in Mozhou, but at Waqiao Pass, waiting for the Song Dynasty army to come. Because the defense of this level is very important, you don't have to face the enemy directly, you just need to defend it. Originally, there was no city wall in Waqiaoguan, but it was built during the reign of Song Zhenzong, but it was broken and occupied by Liao, and it has been governed by Liao, but all the topographic maps, Zhao Gou is clear.

Zhao Gou surrounded the Waqiao Pass from all directions, and he had ordered people to start construction overnight to cut off the river at Waqiao Pass and cut off the water source of the Liao army. That's why the Mozhou guard is so angry, because he is worried about this matter.

Since Ye Luchun failed, Zhao Gou was unwilling to deal with them more. The battle plan that had been deployed before was immediately launched.

The strength of Waqiaoguan was not as large as that of the Song army, so Zhao Gou ordered the archers to prepare in the rear, and divided the army into four directions, each direction was equipped with elite archers.

Then the infantry began to attack the city, some of them carrying their baggage, some carrying ladders, some holding shields and weapons, and rushed forward to kill them. Guarded by a thick shield that reduced a lot of damage, the Liao army kept throwing down some large stones, bricks, or archery from the city walls.

It's a pity that the Song army is under the command of Zhao Gou, even if the Liao army is fully prepared to resist the Song soldiers. It's a pity that their forces are seriously insufficient, and the final result can only see the approaching footsteps of the Song army, but there is no hope of victory.

In addition to several defensive walls, there is also a river. It's a pity that the river has been cut off by Zhao Gou's order, and the natural barrier has lost its function in vain, and it can only rely on the city wall. However, Zhao Gou ordered the army to attack the city gate directly, and smashed the city gate open.

Seeing this, the Liao army divided its troops and went to the city gate to resist the attack of the Song army.

Zhao Gou gave an order, and all the generals from all directions rushed forward, taking Mozhou Shoufu by surprise, and he was stunned, completely forgetting his heavy responsibility. When King Yan and his princess saw Zhao Gou's army, it was like seeing a victorious general, who had never encountered a defeat, which made them very surprised, very relieved, and a trace of fear.

Zhao Gou's time is running out, and he can only take Mozhou and Yingzhou as soon as possible, which also makes Zhao Gou's battles all strong attacks, and he is not willing to kill time with the Liao army. Now Zhao Gou has only one word in his mind, and that is 'attack'.
