Guo Yaoshi crossed the river by boat, and said without humility or arrogance: "Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the Liao State Grudge Army, has seen Prince Daliang. ”

Chao Yong could hear that the person was actually Pharmacist Guo, and couldn't help but look at Pharmacist Guo curiously. Lu Bu has been stinking for 10,000 years as a slave with three surnames, but Guo Yaoshi's capriciousness is even more shameless, when Chao Yong read the history of the Song Dynasty before, he felt that Guo Yaoshi should be more stinking for 10,000 years, but at the same time, a Qin Hui who killed Yue Fei was born, and his shamelessness was covered up.

Guo Yaoshi was only in his thirties at this time, and he was born very burly and decent, not like a lewd villain. However, it is precisely this kind of person who is the most dangerous.

Pharmacist Guo was also shocked by the power of the explosion on the other side, and he also had some thoughts in his heart, so when Yelu Yanxi asked who was willing to cross the river to negotiate with the prince of Daliang, Pharmacist Guo volunteered to come.

He is a person who has fought with the Jurchens on the front line, and he also knows the bravery of the Jurchens, but the Liao State is a faint ruler and reuses the annihilators. Therefore, he judged that the destruction of the Liao State was not far off, and he also needed to consider his future in the future. Previously, he considered defecting to the Song Dynasty, after all, he was also a Han Chinese, and returning to the Southern Dynasty was also a kind of homecoming, and the Song Dynasty had planned to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun for many years, if he became a guide, he would definitely be reused.

Hearing that the Song Dynasty was destroyed by a gang of thieves and the Central Plains was in chaos, Guo Yaoshi was also stunned at first, after all, the Song Dynasty was also very rich before, but he didn't expect it to be gone suddenly. However, after the king of the Southern Courtyard ordered all the soldiers and horses to assemble and prepare to attack the Central Plains south, Guo Yaoshi had a new idea. The Song Dynasty was actually destroyed by a group of grass robbers, indicating that the Han people in the Central Plains had forgotten how to fight, and the Liao State was mostly overwhelmed by the south, but the main forces of the Liao State were all in the north to resist the Jin State and could not be withdrawn. If the Liao State wanted to invade the south on a large scale, it had to recruit some Han Chinese. And he is also a Han Chinese, so it is naturally easier to get along with the Han people of the Central Plains, and then maybe he will not have to think about who to turn to.

But before he could realize this idea, he was blown up. It turned out that it was not a rabble that destroyed the Song Dynasty, but firearms with great power, and with such firearms, the siege and defense of the city would be invincible. The Liao State's southward movement has become a joke, and the result of the decline of the Liao State has not changed, and he still needs to plan his future future.

Liang Guo, who has powerful firearms, has become his choice, and Guo Yaoshi believes that Da Liang will definitely be able to dominate the country, of course, if Da Liang's prospects are not good, he can also make other choices, anyway, he will not tie himself to any boat.

Guo Yaoshi felt uncomfortable being stared up and down by a person with the same surname, so he had to continue: "Our emperor will only ...... if he is deceived by the ministers."

Chao Yong was not interested in these scenes, and directly interrupted Guo Yaoshi's words, and said, "Don't say these useless things, just say what your emperor sent you to do, right?" ”

Guo Yaoshi originally carefully prepared a rhetoric, and when he saw this, he had no choice but to say: "Our emperor is willing to withdraw his troops in exchange for the soldiers you captured." ”

"Hahaha"

Chao Yong and the surrounding Liang generals laughed for a while, and saw that Guo Yaoshi's face was flushed, and then said: "If your emperor is unwilling to withdraw his troops, then let him come over, I will definitely not blow up the bridge this time, and wait for Yelu Yanxi to cross the river, and then send him to heaven." ”

Guo Yaoshi naturally knew that Yelu Yanxi had no intention of going south, and this time he was asked to cross the river just to redeem Yelu Dashi and Wu Yanguang.

After the battle, Chao Yong stood by the river, Yelu Dashi and Wu Yanguang were escorted to the river, and the Liao people also saw the captured two generals, so Yelu Yanxi sent people.

Guo Yaoshi saw that Chao Yong was not threatened, so he had no choice but to say: "Then I don't know how the prince of Daliang is willing to release the soldiers back to my country?" ”

Chao Yong motioned to the soldiers next to him to hand over the booklet he had just registered to Pharmacist Guo, and said with a smile: "This is the number they just said, the rest of the captives will be counted as two horses per person, and then you will be exempted from the odds, a total of 15,000 war horses." If you agree, we'll build a pontoon bridge, and you can drive the horses over. If you don't agree, I won't kill these soldiers, and I'll send them to my country to work as coolies. Give you half an hour, and if there is no answer, we will withdraw our troops. ”

Seeing Chao Yong say this, Guo Yaoshi also knew that if he stayed any longer, Chao Yong should give an order to expel guests, so he had to clench his fists and say: "Wait a minute, the prince will go back and tell my emperor." ”

There are boats crossing the river, and crossing the Baigou River, which is dozens of zhang wide, is not just a cup of tea.

Yelu Yanxi heard that Guo Yaoshi said that Daliang only wanted fifteen thousand war horses, and he already had an idea in his heart, but he couldn't say it directly, looked at the general next to him, and said, "What do you think?" ”

On the condition of retiring the army, let Daliang withdraw from the army, but he didn't take this condition seriously. In the past, they could blackmail the Song Dynasty, mainly because the Song Dynasty was afraid of war, but Da Liang called on the whole people to fight against foreign insults, making it clear that he would not compromise with them, and Da Liang had just won a big victory, and it was even more impossible to be threatened by them.

All the Liao generals also had the idea of paying a ransom to buy back Yelu Dashi and others, but no one wanted to say it.

Xiao Fengxian rolled his eyes, and said to the royal brother King Yelude: "If you don't agree to Liang Guo, then you have to use troops." The king is well versed in military affairs, and in your opinion, if we use troops against Liang again, we have a few percent chance of winning. ”

Yelude thought about it again and said, "The firearms of the Liang Kingdom are extremely powerful, and once they explode, our war horses will be frightened. Our country's combat power is all on iron horses, and without war horses, the combat power will be reduced by half. Before he came up with a way to deal with Liang Guo's firearms, he was afraid that he would not have much chance of winning when he went south. ”

Xiao Feng first saw that there was a foreshadowing, so he also said: "Lin Ya Dashi is the handsome man of the clan, and Wu Yanguang is the general of my Liao State, it is impossible for us to give up on them." Since they can't defeat the Liang State, they can only be redeemed. ”

When some generals saw the emperor's favored ministers speak, they also echoed it.

Fifteen thousand war horses, it is indeed not much for them. Although the Liao State only gathered 50,000 troops this time, it gathered 100,000 war horses in preparation for the loss of war.

Yelu Yanxi was only thinking about redeeming Yelu Dashi and Wu Yanguang before, but when the matter came, he hesitated again.

A few years ago, he lost 700,000 troops to 20,000 people in the Jin State in a battle of Hubu Dagang, and his prestige was greatly reduced. Originally, he thought that the Central Plains was in turmoil and the southerners were weak, and he could use the southern expedition to expand his territory and re-establish his prestige, but now he found that he had kicked the iron plate, and the personal expedition failed again, and two generals were captured. If he pays the ransom to Liang again, I am afraid that his prestige will be completely lost.

Xiao Fengxian also saw Yelu Yanxi's worries, knelt on the ground, and said: "The ministers are incompetent, and they can't deal with the firearms of the southerners, which will disgrace the emperor, and ask the emperor to surrender." ”

When many Liao generals heard this, they hurriedly knelt down one after another.

Yelu Yanxi saw that Xiao Fengxian gave him the steps, so he also sighed and said: "The luck is not good, the Nanren suddenly invented such a powerful firearm, and I can't let the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom die, so let's do it." ”
