"Into town!" With Hu Yanqing's order, the 50,000 vanguard army rushed into the city of Anbei with annoyance, and the Liao army that was originally responsible for defending the city laid down their weapons early, and stood in front of the door with a smile to greet them.

However, some time ago, Yelu Jun attacked the Jin State and transferred most of the troops here, although some were added later, but the number was not large, and most of the soldiers who supplemented them did not have time to train, and the Liao army in the city together was only a little more than 10,000.

Of course, if you look at the number of troops, the Liao army also has the power to defend with the help of the city wall, but Anbei City has not been able to receive the materials sent from the rear for a long time, not to mention anything else, the soldiers in the city can't even eat, and they don't have the strength to defend the city at all, so when the guards in the city saw the 50,000 troops under Hu Yanqing, they simply chose to open the city and surrender, after all, they can at least have a full meal with the Great Song Dynasty.

Hu Yanqing didn't expect that such an important military fortress in Anbei City would be taken down so easily, according to their prior estimates, they thought that there was going to be a vicious battle, so he also deliberately brought a lot of firearms, thinking that they could be used during the siege, but he didn't expect that he didn't have to do it at all, the other party actually took the initiative to surrender, at first Hu Yanqing was still a little suspicious, worried that the other party was a fraudulent surrender, but after they entered the city, when the other party's guard opened his mouth to ask him for food, he only then learned about the embarrassment in the city.

After unexpectedly quickly taking Anbei City, Hu Yanqing immediately notified Yang Huaiyu's army in the rear, and when the other party arrived here, he immediately led his troops to set off again, all the way to the Zhongjing Dading Mansion of the Liao State, and almost did not encounter any Liao troops along the way. Even because the Liao army in Bei'an City surrendered too simply, the Liao army in the rear did not know the news of the Song army's killing, and they did not panic until they saw the Song army approaching the city.

At this time, the Liao State was at its weakest, and the Great Song Dynasty had been plotting against it for a long time, so Huyanqing, as the vanguard, marched very smoothly, and almost encountered any decent resistance along the way to the vicinity of Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, Liao State. Compared with the sparsely populated before, the population here in Zhongjing is still relatively dense, after all, this is the most prosperous area of Liao, and it is one of the political cores of Liao, so it has not been affected much, and there is also an army of more than 50,000 people stationed here, and it is not easy to conquer here.

"General, according to the information I inquired, the stay in Zhongjing was suddenly replaced by Ye Luchun, who had just been named the king of Qin and Jin. This person is not simple, so the next marching general must be careful. In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Dilie arched his hand and said to Hu Yanqing in front of him. After he led the army to Gubeikou, he has been listening to orders under Yang Huaiyu's tent, this time attacking Liao, he took the initiative to ask to join Huyanqing's forward army, because he was very familiar with all aspects of Liao, so Yang Huaiyu also agreed to his request. And Hu Yanqing also made the best use of everything, and asked Xiao Dilie to inquire about the changes in all aspects of the Liao State along the way.

"Yeluchun? This person is the King Zheng who suppressed the Bohai people with Ling Zun? Hu Yanqing also reacted when he heard Ye Luchun's name. He had made a detailed understanding of the important people in the Liao State before, among which Yeluchun was one of the most important people.

"Yes, some time ago, there was a rebellion in Liao, and they wanted to support Yeluchun as the emperor, but Yeluchun not only did not agree, but also killed the person who persuaded him to be the emperor. So I got Yelujun's common sense, originally he was guarding Longhua Prefecture, but for some reason, he suddenly wrote to Yelujun some time ago, asking him to guard Zhongjing. As a result, Yelujun also agreed, so he was transferred to Dading Mansion as a stay-at-home guard, counting that when I had just launched an attack on Liao, he had just taken office. Xiao Dilie reported again at this time.

These information were all learned by Xiao Dilie from the mouths of some prisoners of war, their father and son's prestige in the army was originally very high, many Liao prisoners of war surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty under his persuasion, and even some Liao troops were directly persuaded by him to surrender when they met the Song army, which also made him make a lot of contributions.

"This is interesting, Longhua Prefecture borders the Jin State, he didn't stay there to fight the Jurchens, but suddenly ran to Zhongjing City to do something, is it because he is greedy for life and afraid of death? However, his luck was too bad, and he encountered our Great Song Dynasty attacking Liao again, and this time he couldn't escape no matter what. Hu Yanqing whispered to himself at this time, but although he said that, with his understanding of some of Ye Luchun's deeds, the other party didn't seem to be a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, so Ye Luchun suddenly ran to Zhongjing to take up a post, which seemed a little strange?

But soon Hu Yanqing understood Ye Luchun's intentions, and after he led the army all the way to conquer some Liao strongholds around Dading Mansion, he soon approached Zhongjing City, but at this time, suddenly a young man in Zhongjing City came out alone, and then went to the Song army camp outside the city to see him.

"Jerodashi? Have you heard of this person? Hu Yanqing immediately turned his head and asked Xiao Dilie, who had just arrived, just now after he received the envoy from the Liao State, he immediately summoned Xiao Dilie to inquire, because he had never heard of this envoy named Yelu Dashi.

"It's him!" Xiao Dilie couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the name of Yelu Dashi, "General, this Yelu Dashi is also a royal family, but he is most famous for his talent, he was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of less than twenty, and he is also the only Jinshi among our Khitans, in addition, I heard that this person is resourceful and unparalleled, and he is really a very difficult character, but I didn't expect him to be in Zhongjing City." ”

"A jinshi who is not yet twenty years old?" Hu Yanqing couldn't help but say to himself in surprise when he heard this, you must know that whether it is the Liao State or the Song Kingdom, it is difficult to climb to the sky if you want to take the Jinshi exam, even if the literary style of the Liao State is not as strong as that of the Great Song Dynasty, and the difficulty of taking the Jinshi exam is lower, but the other party can be admitted to the Jinshi at the age of less than twenty, which is enough to make people shocked.

"General Xiao, what do you think Yelu Chun suddenly sent this messenger to here?" Hu Yanqing thought for a moment and asked again.

"This ......" Xiao Dilie couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile, "General Qiyu, I really can't guess this, the other party may want to surrender, or it may be trying to delay time in some way, judging from the current situation in Liao, it is not strange what happened." ”

Hearing Xiao Dilie's words, Hu Yanqing couldn't help laughing, but he didn't say anything, and asked Yelu Dashi to come in at the moment, Xiao Dilie originally wanted to avoid it, after all, he was a general, and some confidential things were not suitable for him to participate in, but Hu Yanqing let him stay, through this period of observation, he had completely trusted Xiao Dilie, and he was also very sure of Xiao Dilie's talent, and keeping him was an important consideration for him.

Xiao Dilie is not stupid, after understanding Hu Yanqing's importance to himself, he is also very grateful in his heart, speaking of which he also feels very cordial to Hu Yanqing, because Hu Yanqing's ancestors are not Han, which can be seen from his surname, but the other party is not only one of the main generals of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Huyan family is also one of the most important generals of the Great Song Dynasty, which makes him also see the path he wants to take in the Great Song Dynasty in the future, as long as he is good enough, he may not be able to go to the point of the Huyan family.

After a while, Yelu Dashi, who received the order, entered the handsome tent under the leadership of the guards, and when he saw Hu Yanqing sitting on it, he immediately bowed down and saluted: "Xiaguan Yelu Dashi, meet General Huyan!" ”

"Excuse me!" Hu Yanqing said indifferently, "Now that the two countries are at war, Yeluchun is not preparing for war in the city, why did you send you to me?" ”

Hearing Hu Yanqing's words, he saw that Yelu Dashi did not answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Xiao Dilie who was standing next to him, and then suddenly smiled and said: "General Huyan, presumably this person next to you is the son of Xiao Yanshou Xiao Old General, General Xiao Dilie, right?" ”

"Do you recognize me?" Xiao Dilie couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, although he had heard of the name of Yelu Dashi, but the two had never met, so when the other party came in just now, he had been looking at each other, but he didn't expect the other party to say his name in one mouth.

"Hehe, I don't know the general, but when the Song army attacked my Great Liao before, the news of General Xiao's defection to the Great Song Dynasty had been spread everywhere, which made my Great Song Army unstable, and when General Huyan's army attacked my Liao State before, many defenders surrendered along the way, and many of them were old subordinates of General Xiao, so I dare to conclude that General Xiao must be in General Huyan's army, and I suddenly came to visit this time, General Huyan will definitely ask General Xiao, In addition, General Xiao's age and appearance are consistent with the rumors, so I dare to conclude. Yelu Dashi said with a smile at this time.

"So thoughtful, I didn't expect the decline of the Liao Kingdom to be so much, and there is a talent like you!" Hu Yanqing, who was sitting on it, patiently listened to Yelu Dashi's analysis, and couldn't help but praise at the moment, even in the Great Song Dynasty, which is full of talents, it is very rare for a young man as good as Yelu Dashi, which makes him can't help but love talents.

"Thank you for the general's praise, but unfortunately under the general trend, no matter how good the talent is, the demise of the Liao State is a foregone conclusion, the final difference is only to see whose hands the peril is, this may not be much different for us Liao people, but for the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, it is extremely important!" Yelu Dashi suddenly changed his words in his words, and his eyes that flashed a little bit of light also stared at Hu Yanqing tightly, because he knew that this topic would definitely arouse Hu Yanqing's interest.
