Chapter 990: Life and Death

Although the first snow is cold, it is also cold.

When Tang Yi was dressed in a big hat, standing outside Dading City, staring at this lonely city, in the wind and snow, dozens of soldiers came on horseback.

Pan Feng just swept it inadvertently at first, and then Tengteng took a few steps forward, his eyes were extremely eager, "It's my Pan Yue!" ”

Uncle Cao Guo also looked at the horse team and walked to Tang Yi's side, "Li Jie is back." ”

Tang Yi came back to his senses and looked in the direction that Cao Tong was pointing, but he greeted him.

It's just that Pan Feng was faster than him, almost rushing to the front of the horse team and forcibly stopping him.

Pan Yue dismounted and didn't wait to stand still, Pan Feng couldn't wait to grab his shoulder, "Little Wang Eight Lambs!" I haven't been home for more than ten years, but I still have my old father in my eyes!? ”

When he said this, his tone was full of joy and incomprehensible.

And now Pan Yue's horizontal knife has been on the line for more than ten years, and he is no longer the gentleman boy he was back then, he smiled: "Dad, you are old." ”

"Straight sissy thief!"

Pan Feng doesn't like to hear others say that he is old, let alone his own son?

"Where's the old!?" Glaring at the beads of the eyeballs. "Beat you, little bastard, you still have the strength!"

Pan Yue just laughed when he heard it, but he would never talk back to his father like before.

At this time, Li Jiezhen also got off the horse, and Pan Yue had to put his father aside first, and together with Li Jiezhen, he went to Tang Yixing, who greeted him.

Before they got close, the two had already clasped their fists and saluted:

"The last general Li Jie slandered ......"

"The last general Pan Yue ......"

"Come to ......"

"Resurrection!"

Resurrection......

What is the trust of more than ten years, and what is the heart of a loyal Song!

"......" Tang Yi didn't answer, his eyes were already moist.

took two quick steps and hugged Li Jie, "Welcome home!" ”

Li Jie was stunned, and then he was also touched, and said in a trembling voice: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, but I returned home!" ”

Pan Feng smiled on the side and interjected: "Wouldn't it be better to subvert Da Liao and talk about it again?" ”

Tang Yi raised his head, let go of Li Jie, and hugged Pan Yue again.

"Brother, I miss you!"

Where has Pan Yue been hugged by a man? Tie his arms and didn't get used to it for a while, but from Tang Yi's words, he could hear the sincerity.

patted Tang Yi on the shoulder, "Brother misses you too...."

He and Li Jie took 500 horsemen deep into Western Xia, and more than ten years have passed, how can those brothers back then not want to do so?

"Now is not the time to reminisce, hurry up and take Liaodu, and it's not too late to talk about it after you go back."

"Hahaha......" I didn't want Tang Yi to laugh and let go of Pan Yue.

"You don't have to worry about it, it's definitely in the bag."

"Oh??"

Pan Yue raised his eyebrows, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and the Tang madman is still so crazy!

"I heard that there are 600,000 Liao soldiers in Dading City, are you so sure?"

"Six hundred thousand?"

Tang Yi said contemptuously: "If he has 160,000, he may be able to keep it until the beginning of spring next year." ”

"But he is 600,000, even if Lao Tzu only besieges and does not attack, he will not survive for a month!"

"Huh?" This time, even Li Jie was suspicious.

"What's the point?"

"Well...... Tang Yi sold a pass and looked at Pan Feng, "It's better for you to talk to our Western Xia King." ”

"What is there to say about this?"

Pan Feng was very proud, and said to Li Jie: "You just have to attack the city and surround Dading, and the rest of the things, we have already finished the business!" ”

One finger is determined: "This is not only a lonely city, but also a dead city!" ”

"Before Hualianpu withdrew, it had burned all the grain and rice in stock, ran on money and loans, and drove up the market price!"

"Now in this city, I am afraid that I can't find a grain of grain, which is no different from a dead city!"

“......”

Li Jie was speechless for a while, glanced at Pan Yue, and said in his heart, Tang Yi is bound to win this time! I can't tell how many years this madman has been planning for today.

However, as Pan Feng said, there is no food in the city, the people's livelihood is in chaos, and Yelu Hongji has 600,000 soldiers, but there is no power to return to heaven.

Da Ding, it's already a dead city!

Thinking of this, Li Jie became serious, "In that case, Zihao will deploy and encircle!" ”

"Simply, Zihao handed over the two sides to the west and north of Dading to Jieyun."

"A military order is set up here, and the 300,000 Northwest Army will never let a Liao person come out alive from the west and north!"

"No!" Tang Yi waved his hand.

"You just have to hold the west of Dading, and hand over the north to the Hades camp and the Xiao family soldiers."

"Huh??" Li Jie frowned in bewilderment.

"Haunt the Hades camp?"

According to Li Jieyan's previous knowledge, the Yanyun army led by Di Qing besieged the south of Dading, and the Yama Camp and the Xiao clan besieged the east of the city, and now the military affairs in the north of the city are also handed over to the Yama Battalion?

You must know that even if the Xiao clan soldiers are included, the Hades camp is only a few tens of thousands, which is the smallest number among the three route armies.

Tang Yi also asked them to guard in two directions, which was really abnormal.

"Zihao, this ......"

Tang Yi saw Li Jie's worries, and said with a smile: "You always have to leave a flaw for others and leave a way to live." ”

"Leave a way to live?"

Li Jie didn't understand it, only to see Tang Yi looking at Dading City again.

"Only by releasing Yelu Hongji can the people of the city have a chance to live!"

"After the war, the people of this city will all become Song people, and a considerable part of Yelu Hongji's 600,000 army will also become Song army, so why rush to kill them all?"

“......”

Li Jie was speechless for a while, looking at Tang Yi suspiciously, but he didn't think it was like Tang Zihao's style.

In his impression, Madman Tang doesn't seem to be a gentle person, right?

"What does that Zihao mean...... Lure the snake out of the hole and ambush it? ”

"Exactly!"

Tang Yi nodded, "In short, the eldest brother can only guard the west, and I have my own arrangement for other things." ”

"Good!"

Li Jie clenched his fists in response, "Listen to Zihao's arrangement." ”

After speaking, he didn't hesitate, knowing that it was not the time to reminisce about the past, he and Pan Yue got on the horse again, returned to the army, and deployed the guard.

......

As soon as Li Jie left, Uncle Cao Guo's face was embarrassed, "Will Yelu Hongji be in this position?" ”

In his opinion, Tang Yi's strategy is not clever.

300,000 horses surrounded the west in Western Xia, and 15 soldiers from Di Qing surrounded the south, and the tens of thousands of people in the camp of the king of Yama were sent to guard the two directions......

No matter how stupid a commander is, he can't make this decision? Is this unclear to tell Yelu Hongji that there is a deception?

"With Yelu Hongji's understanding of Zihao, I'm afraid he won't be easily fooled."

"Heh......"

Tang Yi chuckled lightly and muttered: "It is precisely because he knows me too well and can see through my mind, so any scheme, at this juncture, is no longer important......

Cao Tong glared inexplicably, "Then you're still...."

"Uncle Guo, ....."

Tang Yi interrupted him, "It's because we know each other too well that we are fighting for a 'understanding' now." ”

“......”

“......”

Well, whether it's Uncle Cao Guo or Pan Feng, they don't understand what Tang Yi means.

......

——————————

On the other side, Yelu Hongji in the city was already in despair.

He was defeated, and in the end he was defeated, and he was finally defeated by Tang Zihao.

The original hard work, Gubei Pass let go, and ......

The strength to compete with the Tang madman was wiped out with the defeat of Gubei Pass.

At this time, Yelu Hongji turned white almost overnight, and shrank on the dragon chair.

Da Ding couldn't hold it anymore, and he knew this better than Tang Yi.

Because since three days ago, only horse meat has been left on the table of the emperor, which is the mount of the Great Liao Tiefutu that he is proud of.

In the defense of the city, those torrent-like iron bumps are not even as good as a cloth armor archer, so what's the use of keeping horses?

But what about after the horses are gone?

After that, the hungry generals and the people would swallow everything in the city that could be stuffed into their mouths.

And then what?

Then, you may have to eat people!

At that time, Da Ding will be the real Shura killing field, and without the Song army attacking it, this Great Liao Capital City will already sink into hell.

Defeated, completely defeated!

"Your Majesty....."

"Your Majesty?"

The Liao ministers on the side called their emperor softly.

"Your Majesty can't be depressed...."

"We... There's still a chance! ”

"Huh?" Yelu Hongji looked blankly at the crowd.

"Still a chance?"

"What chance?"

The tone was already lazy, and it was obvious that Yeluhongji didn't care about any opportunities at this time.

Liao Chen said: "According to the report, the Song army in the east and north of Dading is weakly defended, and only the camp of the Great Song Dynasty Yama is guarded. ”

"At the moment, while the soldiers in the city have not lost their combat strength, Your Majesty still has a chance to break through!"

"Huh?"

Yelu Hongji was finally attracted by Liaochen's statement, and pondered with his eyebrows.

It's just that after thinking about it for a while, he laughed at himself, "What a Tang Zihao......"

"You're ruthless!"

"Ruthless?"

Everyone was suspicious, and they didn't understand how the emperor could say the word "ruthless" at this time.

"Could it be...... Your Majesty has seen what is wrong? ”

In fact, everyone is not stupid, the west and south sides are heavily guarded, and the east and north are weak, and it is very likely that there is fraud in them.

But what about deception? At least that's an opportunity, better than sitting here and waiting to die.

Moreover, if the 600,000 army chooses one to attack, even if the Song army has an ambush, it may not be able to stop it.

......

The Liao ministers thought so, but Yelu Hongji was a different plan, and he was still immersed in the word "ruthless".

His face changed again and again, but for a moment, it seemed to have experienced endless vicissitudes.

"Ruthless ......"

"It's ruthless!"

"Crazy!"

"That's crazy!!"

In the end, all that remained in Yeluhongji's eyes was a sigh.

"That's it!"

"Since you want to be a brother, then you are a brother...... And why should it not be fulfilled for you? ”

......

“......”

“......”

The Liao ministers were all panicked when they heard this, and said in their hearts, Your Majesty, is this stupid? How can you not understand a word when you say it?

Worried again: "Your Majesty ....."

"I'm fine!"

Yelu Hongji sat up straight, "I'm fine....", his eyes slowly regained his brilliance.

Looking at the ministers, "I want to issue the last will, are you still willing to listen to me?" ”

When Liao Chen heard this, he bowed down together, "The ministers swear allegiance to the death, and they are willing to follow Your Majesty!" ”

"Good!!" Yelu Hongji's eyes were brighter.

"Tell me the will..."

"The three armies are up and down, left and right, civil and military......"

"Kaesong...."

"Surrender!"

“!!!!!” The crowd was shocked.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Nothing to do!" Yelu Hongji waved his hand abruptly.

"Today's death is my fault, and I can't even implicate the people and thousands of people in the same crime."

"Hold on, I ...... Shame on the world! ”

"You guys.... Let's go down! ”

“......”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I look at you with a blank face.

To be honest, listening to Yelu Hongji's tone, this is not like a rebellion against everyone to buy people's hearts, but like words from the heart.

And some upright ministers hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty! ”

"The ministers will not surrender, and they are willing to live and die together with Dading!"

"Presumptuous!!" Yeluhongki's eyes widened.

"Didn't you just promise me that you would listen to me!?"

"What!? Don't you really listen to me, the king of the dead country!? ”

"Your Majesty...."

"Don't call me Your Majesty again!" Yeluhon yelled.

"This is the decree! It's the king's life!! ”

"I command you to surrender!"

"Order you to give Da Ding a way out by surrendering!"

"If you dare to resist the decree, I won't let you go if I am a ghost!"

“......”

“......”

Until this moment, the ministers knew that the emperor was not joking, nor was he just talking, he was real.... I want to descend the song!

I don't know why, a considerable number of the ministers among the ministers, although they have the will to die for Liao, but when they heard the Emperor of Da Liao personally say that they would descend to the Song Dynasty, their hearts were inexplicable.

After all, dying is not an easy thing for everyone.

At this time, Yelu Hongji was still sassy, as if the fall of the Song Dynasty was not a fatal thing for him.

"According to my will, Kaesong will be surrendered!"

As he spoke, he slowly sat back on the dragon seat, "Let's all go down, I want to be alone for a while!" ”

"Wait... Compliance. ”

"Hmm...."

Yelu Hongji answered softly, and then, only the footsteps of Si Suosuo were left in the main hall, but they were no longer alive.

......

After the ministers retreated, Yelu Hongji looked up at the empty hall, and said in silence for a long time: "Someone is coming...."

"Armor me!"

He asked his courtiers and people to surrender to Song, but he didn't say that he would surrender himself!

As the last emperor of the Great Liao, he rode alone to fight against ten thousand armies, becoming the last soldier of his dynasty to fall, this way of death......

Decent enough, right?

......

————————

This is the understanding between him and Tang Yi, the last dignity Tang Yi gave him, and it is also where Tang Yi is "ruthless" and "crazy".

Behind that clumsy flaw, there must be an ambush.

It's just that Tang Yi knows that he, a seven-foot man from Yelu Hongji, stands up to the sky and the earth, and he can afford to win and lose.

Shecheng broke through, whether it can succeed is another matter, but he has become a lost dog, a lost country, and a defeated king, he Yelu Hongji can't do this kind of thing, which is more cruel than killing him.

Therefore, that flaw is the dignity that Tang Yi gave him, a reason to die bravely.

At this moment, Yelu Hongji also had to admire Tang Yi.

He was ruthless enough, and as soon as that flaw came out, even if he knew what he was going to do, Yelu Hongji had to go in the direction he envisioned.

Because, that was his only chance. The only chance to preserve the city of Dading and preserve the last vestiges of his Yelu Hongji's dignity.

He was crazy enough, and he really decided that Yelu Hongji would choose this path.

He is more profitable, and the benefits are so good that Yelu Hongji loses his heart!

However, Yelu Hongji, who had fallen into madness, had a hint of pride:

"Tang Zihao, you can't think of it, right?"

"I didn't expect that I would ride out of the battle alone, as brave as the overlord of Chu!"

"I can't imagine that I'm more decent than you think!"

......

————————————

At this time, the hundred officials had already left the city at the south gate, and the table was surrendered.

Yelu Hongji was very pleased that the Song army did not massacre the Liao people because of a century-old grudge.

One last glance at the majestic palace city, and then no longer nostalgic, Yelu Hongji silver saddle and gold armor, spear clenched, turned the horse's head, slammed the horse's belly, and rushed towards the north gate.

It's just that what Yelu Hongji didn't expect was that in front of the north gate, there were already 10,000 dead guards waiting there......

They want to live and die with Da Liao and the Great Liao Emperor!
