Yeluren retreated, and the next day Xiao Dalin came to the city again, this time not with 3,000 men, but with a full army of 40,000.

Xiao Dalin is the privy envoy of the Southern Court of Liao, and often sits in Youzhou Mansion in Nanjing, Liao, Youzhou Mansion is the name of the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, Liaoguo called Xijin Mansion, that is, Beijing in later generations.

Under normal circumstances, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan had the right to mobilize the troops of the entire Nanjing Province to fight, and this power structure made the Liao army more active in combat, coordinated its forces, and made more rapid and orderly decisions on battle and defense.

On the other hand, the Great Song Dynasty had a large number of military states on the border, such as the Ansu Army, the Guangxin Army, the Shun'an Army, the Baoding Army, etc., theoretically these military states belonged to the east and west roads of Hebei, but in fact the envoys of these two roads did not have the right to mobilize these border armies.

In the event of a war, the border army reported to the imperial court, and after the resolution of the imperial court, sent a minister to serve as a solicitor, and according to the scale of the war, the envoy was demarcated how many troops could be controlled during the war; Military power was immediately recovered after the war.

This set of combat procedures was very cumbersome and slow, and before the imperial court sent ministers to control the three armies, each army often had to fight on its own because it was not subordinate to each other. But this is also something that can't be helped, after the rebellion of the former Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties of military towns, the Great Song Dynasty is afraid!

In the former Tang Dynasty, the military town was moderate, and a border governor often controlled tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of border troops, and the festival envoy had the right to finance and recruit troops. The Great Song Dynasty learned the lessons of the former Tang Dynasty, so it was extremely cautious in the division of military power.

Now Yang Yi is facing the situation that the armies are not subordinate to each other, fighting for each other, the urgent report of the Maitreya rebellion is now estimated to have just arrived in Tokyo, Yang Yi has no right to mobilize other border troops, the day before yesterday the Guangxin army came to aid 2,000 people, the Anshun army rushed to aid 1,000 people yesterday, the current Ansu city defenders are less than 5,000 people, plus just experienced the Maitreya rebellion, the administrative structure at all levels is paralyzed, the lack of materials, and the people's hearts are unstable.

Yang Yiquan relied on the prestige he had just accumulated to dominate the army and people in Ansu City, if he hadn't been there, in the face of the overwhelming Liao army under the city, Ansu might have collapsed without a fight.

As soon as Xiao Dalin's army arrived, he didn't say a word, surrounded Ansu on all sides, and directly started the siege battle, the Liao army under the black pressure of the city was surging, magnificent, and the sound of shouting and killing penetrated through the sky, on the other hand, the Song army in the city, after leaving a part of the reserves, each city wall was less than a thousand people, these are not fatal, the key is that half of Ansu City has just been burned, and there is a serious lack of equipment to defend the city, Yang Yi is a person, not a god, in addition to trying to mobilize the young and strong in the city, and personally go to the city to supervise the battle to boost morale, there is no good means of counterattack for a while.

On this day, the Liao army relied on a large number of people, taking turns to attack the city, almost without interruption, although the casualties of the two armies were not very heavy, but the Song army was almost not exhausted to death.

After discovering that Xiao Dalin was a little bluffing, Yang Yi had a plan in his heart, and sent a messenger to Liaoying that night to deliver a letter, hoping that Xiao Dalin could take a break from fighting and the two sides would sit down to negotiate to solve the problem.

Xiao Dalin refused to negotiate peace, and continued to attack the city early the next morning.

At noon, the Liao army implemented the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and successfully defeated the 2,000 men and horses of the Baoding army to help, and captured 1,000 people.

But Xiao Dalin also put forward a harsh condition, letting Yang Yi go to Liaoying alone.

Yang Yi was originally the deputy envoy of the mission, Li Guangtong died, and there was really no one more suitable for this negotiation than him, but between the two armies, let him go to Liaoying alone, who knows if Xiao Dalin used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, you must know that now Ansu City is all under the control of Yang Yi alone, once Yang Yi is detained or killed, Ansu is likely to be self-defeating. …,

Zhao Jin, Zhang Shou, Li Yizhong and others dissuaded one after another, but they couldn't change Yang Yi's determination, Ma Hanqing finally said: "My lord, let my subordinates go with you!" ”

"No, it's just me! Han Qing, you stay, in case the situation changes, you protect Qing Niang no matter what! ”

"But ......"

"No, it's an order!"

The north gate of Ansu opened again, and there were still ninety-eight horses the day before yesterday, and today, only Yang Yi was left alone!

At this critical moment, the soldiers and civilians in the city watched silently, not knowing what it was like in their hearts, unconsciously, Yang Yi had become their spiritual pillar, watching Yang Yi go out of the city alone, alone against tens of thousands of Liao troops, I don't know who shouted first: Take care of Master Yang!

All of a sudden, the whole city echoed, and people's eyes followed his figure, shouting one after another to take care of Master Yang!

Yang Yi suddenly returned to his horse under the city, raised the big banner of Song characters in his hand, and shouted at the city: "I am here, the city is here!" I'm not here, and the city will be there! ”

After Yang Yi finished shouting, he resolutely rode away! In the hazy tearful eyes of the Ansu soldiers and civilians, a ride of yellow dust rolled towards the Liao camp, and the sound of horses' hooves was like a war drum, stirring the hearts of all the soldiers.

The door of the Liao military camp was wide open, from the camp gate to the tent, two rows of knife hands stood on the horses, the cold and shining steel knives were raised high, leaving only a narrow passage in the middle, and the pressing evil spirit could discourage the faint of heart.

Yang Yi smiled and stopped at the camp gate for a while! At this point, Xiao Dalin's thoughts Yang Yi have all understood, this guy is simply to promote peace, and as soon as he comes, he will put on a tough offensive, just to want to have more practical benefits at the negotiation table.

"The Great Song is mighty! Rush! ”

Yang Yi suddenly roared, holding a flag in one hand and a sword in the other, he rushed towards the handsome tent along the narrow passage, the war horse roared, the banner fluttered, and the momentum of one person made hundreds of swordsmen of the Liao army suddenly change color, and some couldn't help but retreat.

Yang Yi rushed to the front of the tent, the banner of the Song character flew out of his hand, and with a loud sound, it was firmly inserted in the middle of the tent door, and the flag rolled up in the west wind hunting ground, in a trance, gave all the Liao troops the feeling that it was like the Song army occupied the tent!

And the figure with a sword in his hand and a prancing horse raising his hooves is really the champion of the Great Song Dynasty? Shouldn't all champions be weak scholars?

Yang Yi immediately slashed in front of Xiao Dalin's handsome tent, without saying a word, he didn't come to meet, he came to negotiate, Xiao Dalin didn't come to greet him, he would never get off the horse!

Hundreds of knife hands made sonorous sounds from time to time, and sometimes roared in unison, Yang Yi didn't hear it, just didn't move;

The two sides were deadlocked for a long time before Xiao Dalin laughed out loud from the tent: "Bachelor Yang is really a little bold!" This official has lost his welcome, Mr. Yang, please! ”

"Excuse me, is the privy envoy of the Southern Court, Lord Xiao Dalin Xiao?"

"It's this official, since Master Yang has come to ask for peace, then please!"

Yang Yi got off the horse lazily, and the image of the horizontal knife was gone, and he instantly became a weak scholar, so the speed of dismounting was called slow.

"Lord Xiao, can you let someone help me!"

Xiao Dalin stood below and waited, almost out of breath when he heard this, and his thick eyebrows kept jumping!

The Liao soldiers on the side of the tent glared angrily, Yang Yi was clearly a kind of tribute to Xiao Dalin for not being welcoming for a long time, you let me wait, I will let you wait, you cut me, I will give you a sword, and I will never suffer any loss.

Just when Xiao Dalin's hair stood on end, Yang Yicai Shi Shiran got off the horse, stuffed the reins into the hand of a Liao general next to him, and said to Xiao Dalin: "Lord Xiao, please!" ”

After finishing the ceremony, he got up and took a step, but he walked in front of Xiao Dalin, and he came nakedly.

"Yang Yi, don't go too far!" Xiao Dalin finally couldn't help it and said coldly.

"People treat me with courtesy, I treat people with courtesy, people treat me with swords and axes, and I treat them with thunder, Lord Xiao, have you treated this official with courtesy?" …,

Two hundred years since the founding of the Khitan country, it is no longer the barbaric nomad at the beginning, and the degree of attention to the etiquette of diplomatic relations is no less than that of the Great Song Dynasty.

But Liao is in trouble now! Frequent famines, rebellions, corrupt officials, poor people's livelihood, the Zhuozhou incident gave the Liao State a very good excuse, Xiao Dalin brazenly raised troops to attack the Song Dynasty, the purpose was to force the Song court to pay more coins. Now that the army has arrived at the city of Ansu, Xiao Dalin is willing to stop.

"Yang Yi, Liao and Song Dynasty are originally a state of brothers, I received Da Liao with courtesy, but you brazenly killed Xiao Deguang who stayed in Zhuozhou, and the entire Zhuozhou was burned by you, and now you are still ashamed to talk to me about etiquette, you first ask the thousands of Liao people who died in Zhuozhou if they agree!"

Xiao Dalin had just sat down on the main seat, and immediately raised his voice, he is in his fifties this year, he has been in the top position for a long time, and he has a momentum that is not angry but mighty.

"Lord Xiao, whether the stay in Zhuozhou was attacked and killed by our army, you know very well in your heart, when Xiao Deguang was killed, no one from our mission stepped out of the post house, and no one from my Great Song Border Army set foot on the land of your country that night; And there was also a rebellion in my Ansu City that night, I have evidence that it was the military and civilians of your country who planned the rebellion in Ansu, resulting in countless deaths and injuries among the people in my city. ”

Xiao Dalin suddenly became angry, slapped his palm on the low table beside him, and shouted at Yang Yi: "Yang Yi, no matter what you say, it can't change the fact that you killed Zhuozhou and stayed behind, and don't forget, you are here to seek peace, and if you seek peace, you should have an attitude of seeking peace!" ”

"Wrong! Lord Xiao, this official is not here to seek peace, but to ask for justice from the Liao State! Yang Yi raised his eyebrows and replied, sonorously.

More than a dozen Liao generals in the tent immediately stared at Yang Yi, especially Ye Luren, who had been captured by Yang Yisheng, listened to Yang Yi's words, Huo Ran drew his sword and shouted: "Lord Xiao, this person is not here to sue for peace at all, he is clearly here to demonstrate to my Da Liao, Lord Xiao, give an order, first cut off the head of this thief, and then send troops to attack the city, the last general please be the pioneer of the siege, if you don't take Ansu today, the last general will come to see you." ”

Xiao Dalin swept his eyes at Yang Yi and asked in a cold voice, "Yang Yi, are you here to seek peace?" Well? ”

"Could it be that Lord Xiao is getting old, with his ears back?"

"Come on! Take it down for me, and behead the sacrificial flag in front of the tent! ”
