"Smack."

The flask in his hand was thrown out by Yelu Hongji, and it smashed to the ground with a thud.

Drinks splattered all over the floor.

Several princes did not dare to speak.

"Zhongjing fell, the city surrendered, it is really a group of loyal and good courtiers, usually all of them are very shrewd, but they are helpless in the face of a Qin Guan, waste, a group of waste."

"Qin Guan thief, you dare to kill my emperor, I swear to you that I will not give up, and I will kill you to avenge my children." Yelu Hongji scolded loudly.

In fact, he doesn't want to think about himself, he runs faster than anyone else.

At this time, the eldest prince persuaded: "Father, it is useless to scold him now, how can we deal with that Qin Guan now?" ”

Yelu Hongji looked at the eldest son Yelu Nanzhen, and then at the second prince Yale Weizhen, and the fifth prince Yelu Shuzhen, these three princes were all born to Empress Xiao, and when they came out, they were all brought out at the same time.

"What do you think should be done now?" Jelu Hongji asked.

Yelushu was really young and vigorous, and said first: "Father, I think we should recruit the armies of the north and south courts, and then recruit the border army, and you will personally command it, and besiege and kill the hateful Qin Guan and Zhao army on the grassland." ”

When he mentioned Qin Guan, he still looked like he was gritting his teeth.

"What do you say, boss?" Yelu Hongji looked at the eldest prince.

Ye Lu Nan had already made a plan in his heart, and said: "Qin Guan occupied Zhongjing, but he may not have rushed to Shangjing, all the way to Shangjing is full of mountain roads, it is very difficult to pass and there are many passes, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"Although the border army has received your message, it is unknown how long it will take to arrive, and the father might as well issue a recruitment order now, recruit soldiers in Yikun Prefecture, Longhua Prefecture, Qinzhou and other places, and use the Imperial Forest Army as the backbone, and it will be able to form an army in a short time."

"You can also issue a convening order to summon the Wugulie Ministry, the Chazha Thorn Ministry, the Wanyan Ministry, and other departments to send people to help."

"I think we can form a large army in a month or two, and when the climate of the grassland becomes warmer, we can completely kill back to Zhongjing, eliminate the Qinguan North Route Army, and recapture Zhongjing."

Yelu Hongji was silent for a while, and then looked at his second son Yelu Weizhen, "What do you think, second brother." ”

Yelu Weizhen raised his eyes, looked at Yelu Hongji, paused, and said, "Father, it's better to talk about peace." ”

A hint of anger flashed on Yelu Hongji's face, but then he withdrew it and said in a deep voice, "It's careful. ”

"Father, gather a large army to attack Qin Guan, not to mention that it will take a month or two, how many variables there are, just talking about this huge prairie, Qin Guan is all cavalry, there is no need for him to guard Zhongjing City and wait for us to attack, he can shuttle back and forth on the grassland, it will be difficult for us to catch him at that time."

"More importantly, in my opinion, the advantage of the southern invasion is now gone."

At the beginning of the southern invasion strategy, the most important word was "fast", marching at the fastest speed, playing a front, and the northern courtyard pointed directly at Jinling City. What we are most afraid of is being dragged by the enemy, don't look at our 400,000 troops, of course, now there are only 300,000, just Qin Guan has wiped out 30,000 people, and several major battles have consumed 40,000 or 50,000 people. ”

"Zhao has more than a million soldiers, and there are even 70 or 80 million people, as long as we are dragged down, we will be worn to death by them little by little. If it drags on any longer, when Zhao organizes more defenses, as long as there is a big defeat in the north and south, the whole situation will take a sharp turn for the worse. ”

"Withdraw now, we can still preserve our strength, if these 300,000 soldiers are consumed in Zhao State, at that time, it will be time for Zhao State to counterattack us, and I am afraid that Daliao will be worried about destroying the country."

Yelu Nanzhen heard that the second brother completely denied his opinion, and his heart was unhappy, and said: "Is the second brother a little alarmist, now the army of the Zhao State is fighting in the north and south courtyards, and the army is looking for teeth all over the place, and is retreating step by step, why is it being dragged down." ”

"As you said, if Qin Guan dares to come out to fight in the field, my Da Liao Iron Cavalry is invincible in the field, will I still be afraid of him, I am afraid that I can destroy him in just a few rounds."

Yelu Weizhen said lightly: "Big brother, don't forget Qu Li, Anashi, and Yelu Shi, they and Qin Guan's Northern Route Army are all field battles, but the whole army is wiped out, what does this mean, it shows that Qin Guan is not afraid of field battles." ”

The eldest prince was suffocated by what Yelu Weizhen said, and his face was even more ugly.

"You all go out, I'm thinking about it." Yelu Hongji waved at his three sons, and the three of them immediately took their leave.

Out of the tent, the three of them walked far away, Yelu Nanzhen stopped and looked at the second brother Yelu Weizhen, and said lightly: "This time, my father is afraid that he will adopt the second brother's suggestion." ”

The second prince looked at his eldest brother and said: "Actually, I know that the eldest brother should also think of this layer, but if you don't say it, you leave it to me, because you are the eldest prince, you don't want to leave people with the impression of being cowardly and seeking peace, am I right, eldest brother." ”

The eldest prince's eyes flashed, and he said, "Since the second brother knows, why do you have to say it." ”

The second prince sighed, "Because I know that these words must be said by someone that things are already like this, and it is unwise to know that they can't do it, if all the national fortunes of our country are consumed, then my Great Liao Kingdom will be really in danger." ”

The eldest prince glanced at the second brother deeply, and sighed: "I'm not as good as the second brother." ”

"But if this time the father and emperor send the second brother to Zhongjing for peace talks, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely kill that Qin Guan, as long as he dies, the Zhao army will be broken, and we can immediately take back the initiative, even if we can't destroy the Zhao country, at least we can harvest nearly half of the population of the Zhao country."

The second prince, Yelu Weizhen, smiled faintly, "It seems that I want to go with my eldest brother again." ”

Two days later, Yelu Hongji issued an order to send the second prince Yelu Weizhen to Zhongjing to contact the Zhao army, and the two countries negotiated a truce.

A fast team of horses rushed from Shangjing to Zhongjing, and sent a letter and the will of the Liao Emperor to those ministers.

The letter was addressed to Qin Guan, telling Qin Guan that he was willing to suspend the war and negotiate peace between the two countries, and if Qin Guan could call the shots, he would talk to Qin Guan directly, and if Qin Guan could not call the shots, he would report to the Emperor of Zhao.

As for the will given to the ministers of Liao, Qin Guan also saw that the emperor of Liao would send the second prince Yelu Weizhen to Zhongjing to lead the peace talks, and the ministers here will all be led by the second prince Yelu Weizhen to assist in the peace talks.

This is equivalent to the emperor of Liao forgiving them for the sin of surrendering, not to blame the past, and continuing to work, and their identity, from this moment on, has also changed from captives to peace negotiators.

is worthy of being the emperor, and the art of the emperor is very slippery.

Regarding the matter of the Emperor of Liao's request for peace talks, Qin Guan was both surprised and felt reasonable, no matter what, the other party made a move.

Qin Guan immediately called Li Xuan.
