Yang Huaiyu and Hu Yanping did not expect that Yelu Renxian's army, which had only been besieged for less than ten days, chose to surrender, which made them think that this was Yelu Renxian's trick to surrender, so they did not agree at first, but when Yelu Zhixian and other main generals carried Yelu Renxian's body to the Song army camp to ask for surrender, they believed that Yelu Renxian was dead, and it was no wonder that the Liao army was going to surrender.

Yelu Renxian claimed to have an army of 100,000, but after the previous battle losses, there are now less than 60,000 people left, but it is not easy to receive such a large group of prisoners of war, and it is not easy to accept such a large group of prisoners of war. They will be escorted to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun on the south side of Gubeikou, and as for what to do with these prisoners of war, it is not their business.

Zhao Yan had followed the army to Zhongjing Dading Mansion before, but later he found that he couldn't help much in the army, so he retreated to Yuguan, and then rushed to Gubeikou from Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, preparing to arrive there to preside over the overall situation, but he didn't expect that when he just arrived at Gubeikou, he actually received the news that Yeluren had died first and surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty before his death, which made him also surprised and happy, and then personally arranged to receive prisoners of war from the Liao army.

At the same time, in the palace of Shangjing of the Liao State, Yelu Jun immediately lost his mind due to anger after receiving the news that Yeluren had died first and ordered the army to surrender before his death. No one dared to persuade at all.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw an inner servant walking in tremblingly, and then bowed down and reported: "Your Majesty, Chen Guogong asks to see!" ”

Chen Guogong is Zhang Xiaojie's title, and he also worships the prime minister of Beifu, so it can be said that he holds great power. In the past, because he was disliked by Yelujun, his power declined, but during this time, because he guessed that Yelujun wanted to suppress Yelujun's intentions, he also cooperated a lot, which also made Yelujun feel quite impressed with him.

"Let him in!" Yelujun also happened to discuss the matter of Yeluren's surrender to the Song army first, so he agreed, and the servant who came in to report the news immediately ran out quickly.

After a while. I saw Zhang Xiaojie hurriedly walking in, and when he saw a mess on the ground, he couldn't help but pause, but soon the corners of his mouth showed a sneer, and then he walked quickly to Ye Lujun and said, "Old minister, see Your Majesty!" ”

"No need to be polite, presumably Aiqing already knows about Yeluren's first order to surrender to the Song State, I don't know if you have any countermeasures?" Yelu Jun suppressed the anger in his heart and said slowly, he never expected that the other party would order the army to surrender before he died. It made him feel betrayed, but he forgot about it. If it weren't for the fact that he suppressed Yelu Renxian many times, causing him to fall into the encirclement of the Song army, and he was not very effective when he rescued, where would Yelu Renxian have a second way to go besides surrendering?

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Yeluren is an important minister of the court. I didn't want to be loyal to the country, but I surrendered to the Song State at a critical moment, and I lost 100,000 soldiers in Daliao, so that the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing was even more precarious. Therefore, the old minister asked His Majesty to cure the sin of Yelu Renxian to set an example! Zhang Xiaojie said with a righteous face, and seemed to be really indignant at Yelu Renxian's surrender.

Hearing Zhang Xiaojie's request to cure Yelu Renxian's crimes, Yelu Jun's face also flashed a trace of hesitation, although Yelu Renxian is dead, but his wife and brothers are still there, many people are still holding important positions in the court, with Zhang Xiaojie's meaning, it is to uproot Yelu Renxian's family, which is very implicated.

Seeing that Yelu Jun was a little hesitant, Zhang Xiaojie stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Yelu Renxian's crime is unforgivable, although he has committed suicide in fear of sin, but because of him, all parts of my southern Liao are in danger, and his younger brother Yelu Zhixian is also in the army, it is said that he personally carried Yelu Renxian's body to surrender to the Song army, it is simply the extreme loss of power and humiliation of the country, such a heinous person, Your Majesty must not tolerate it!" ”

"This ......" Although Yelu Jun hated Yelu Renxian, he thought that if he disposed of Yelu Renxian's entire family because of this, it would definitely have a huge impact, and it might even affect the stability of the political situation, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Although Yelu Renxian's sin is unforgivable, after all, he has made a lot of contributions to the country before, if he disposes of all his wives and brothers now, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of many people, and Yelu Zhixian is also in the army. If he learns that his relatives have been disposed of, I am worried that he will completely surrender to the Song army because of this, so this matter needs to be handled carefully! ”

"Your Majesty is really kind-hearted, Yelu Renxian did make some contributions to the country before, since Your Majesty does not want to chill people's hearts, it is better to let his wife and brother go, but he himself must be dealt with, otherwise he will not be able to correct the punishment!" Zhang Xiaojie saw that Yelujun was not carried away by anger, and immediately changed his words.

"This is natural, not only will Yelu Renxian's title be withdrawn, but his sons will all be demoted to other places as long as they are officials, and his brothers will be demoted to one level as a punishment!" Yelu Jun said with a straight face at this time, although he couldn't dispose of Yelu Renxian's entire family, there was still a necessary punishment.

With the defeat of Yelu Ren first, after the news of the surrender of his army to the Song army, the Liao State was also particularly shocked, these years Yelu Ren first led the army to fight in the south and the north, almost never defeated, but this time it was wiped out by the Song army, 100,000 troops except for the people who died in the battle, all the others became prisoners of war of the Song army, which also led to the empty force in the south of the Liao State, leaving only tens of thousands of troops in Zhongjing Dading Mansion to support it, if Dading Mansion was occupied by the Song army again, Then the entire Great Liao will lose half of the country, and even in the eyes of some people, the day of the destruction of the country is not far away.

Yang Huaiyu and Hu Yanping's army in Bei'an City, so that their strength suddenly increased to 130,000, and it is a real force, but whether it is Yang Huaiyu's army or Hu Yanping's army, after this period of battle, the soldiers are very tired, especially Yang Huaiyu's Hebei army, after being besieged for a summer, it is not easy to get out of trouble, and the soldiers up and down all hope to go back as soon as possible.

Zhao Yan of Gubeikou settled those prisoners of war and arranged for the army to guard them, and personally rushed to the city of Bei'an, Yang Huaiyu and Hu Yanqing and other generals of the Hebei Army were also very excited when they saw him, and set up a grand banquet for Zhao Yan to wash the dust, of course, the most important thing is that if they want to go back, they must get Zhao Yan's consent.

After the banquet ended, Zhao Yan summoned Hu Yanping, Yang Huaiyu, Hu Yanqing and other important generals together to discuss the matter, after all, there were some things at the banquet just now that could not be said clearly, among which Yang Huaiyu just saw Zhao Yan, and immediately said: "Your Highness, the Hebei army has exhausted its strength, everyone is homesick, and they really can't fight anymore, I don't know if Your Highness can agree to let us temporarily withdraw from the army?" ”

Hearing Yang Huaiyu's words, Zhao Yan thought for a moment and said: "Brother Huaiyu, I'm afraid you won't be able to withdraw immediately, but you don't have to worry, you won't have any big battles with the Liao army in the future, but you just need troops to blackmail the Liao State!" ”

"Blackmail?" Yang Huaiyu and the others were stunned when they heard Zhao Yan's words, and then looked at each other, but they didn't know what Zhao Yan meant?

"Yes, it's blackmail!" Zhao Yan smiled proudly, "According to the original plan of the imperial court, the Hebei Army only needs to defeat the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, although I have a lot of troops to support this time, but half of them are water divisions, and the other half of the land divisions cannot be compared with the forbidden army in terms of combat effectiveness, so I don't plan to expand the results of the battle, but we have already fought the Great Wall, and captured many cities north of the Great Wall, wouldn't it be a pity if we gave up in vain?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yan's reminder, Yang Huaiyu and the others finally understood, among which Hu Yanqing immediately spoke first: "I understand, after the Liao State lost Yelu Renxian's army, I am afraid that there will be no more adjustable troops in the country, so as long as our army makes an offensive posture, I am afraid that the Liao State will be very frightened at that time, and even without us saying it, we will take the initiative to send an envoy for help, after all, the Liao State will never sit back and watch the Zhongjing Dading Mansion be beaten down by us again!" ”

"Haha~, Brother Qing is right, the previous alliance of the Yuanyuan, but let the Liao State take advantage of our Great Song Dynasty, not to mention anything else, just the accumulation of the year's coins in previous years is a big number, this time I have to let the Liao Kingdom spit out all the food we eat!" Zhao Yan also laughed at this time and said, the previous New Year's coins made Da Song suffer a lot of humiliation, and this time he has such a good opportunity, so he naturally wants to return all the humiliation he suffered before.

"If you only take an offensive stance and don't fight, I think the brothers below should be able to hold on for a while!" Yang Huaiyu also gritted his teeth at this time and said, although the thinking of returning in the Hebei army is very heavy, but since there is such a good opportunity to blackmail the Liao State, no matter how difficult it is, he must persevere.
