Xiao Qi naturally trusted her husband 100%, and when she heard him say this, she suddenly came to her senses and looked at each other adoringly.

"Brother Murong, you are amazing!"

Xiao Qi said with sincere admiration.

Murong Fu accepted it calmly, and pulled his two beautiful wives into his arms, thinking that Long Cheng had been taken, and he could finally implement his plan.

In the early morning of the next day, Murong Fu issued several military orders in a company, mobilizing the soldiers and horses of the front line to assemble in Gaoyang Pass and fight a decisive battle with the Liao army! 𝓜.𝙫𝓞🄳𝕋𝙬.🅲𝕆𝓜

After several months of tempering, Huo Qianjun and Wei Liangcheng also made a name for themselves in the army, and Murong Fu equipped them with soldiers and horses according to their military exploits, and established a broken army, which was only at his disposal.

The Broken Army was led by Huo Qianjun, Wei Liangcheng was the deputy commander, and there were 30,000 elite cavalry under his command, as if he was already a king's army in the Song army.

The Liao army was pinned down by the righteous army, and finally filled the trap and attacked outside Gaoyang Pass.

Compared with the rising morale of the Song army, they have been tormented by the Yao family army and the frequent bad news from the rear, and their morale has been greatly reduced.

Nearly 400,000 fresh troops were finally defeated and retreated under the less than 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Song army.

This battle lasted for nearly a year, and seeing that the time was ripe, Murong Fu released Yeluchun, the king of Zheng who was imprisoned at the beginning, and then instigated the leaders of the northern tribes to support this King Zheng as the new emperor, called Emperor Tianxi, established the Northern Liao regime, and competed with Yelu Yanxi for territorial ownership.

Yelu Yanxi was furious when he learned of this, and now the Liao State is consuming national strength, and has suffered several defeats in a row, not only the morale of the soldiers is low, but there are many old ministers in the court who are dissatisfied with him as the emperor, if Yelu Chun is allowed to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, and monopolize power in Northern Liao, let alone the throne, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save his life.

In case the rumors of "abolishing the emperor and seeking to establish" in the court intensified, Yelu Yanxi could no longer care about the Southern Song Dynasty, even if he wanted the class to return to the dynasty and kill Yeluchun, a traitor.

However, when the Liao army first waved its troops south, it was strong and had no scruples, and acted recklessly, but now that it has lost the battle, it wants to leave, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

Murong Fu and the righteous army flanked the retreating Liao army on both sides, and with less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, they blocked the Liao army's 200,000 troops in Yizhou, and there was no way to retreat.

However, Murong Fu knew the truth that the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, so he naturally didn't dare to force each other too much.

Now that he has made immortal contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, he is now missing the last credit, and he can truly become famous through the ages and build a foundation for the great cause!

After besieging the Liao army for seven days without attacking it, Murong Fu looked at Yelu Yanxi in the distance like a lost dog, and sighed for a while.

I thought to myself, the four words of success and defeat are really suitable for each other.

On this day, the two armies confronted each other, Murong Fu came to the front of the two armies alone, You Tanzhi carried a square table, two benches were placed, there was wine and food on the table, Murong Fu was dressed in regular clothes, sitting quietly in front of the Liao army and drinking a glass of wine, without any scruples.

Among the Liao army, Yelu Yanxi's face was very ugly, looking at a bench placed in his direction, his eyes were full of deep unwillingness and hatred, and then regardless of the obstruction of the ministers, he resolutely walked out of the military formation and sat down in front of Murong Fu.

Yelu Yanxi, who hadn't drunk wine and eaten meat for a long time, smelled the aroma of meat on the table, and also ate it without scruples, Murong Fu picked up the wine jug and was about to pour wine, but he snatched the wine jug and poured it into his mouth.

Yelu Yanxi knew that Murong Fu was strong in martial arts, and he was so close to him that he had no way to live, and he would rather be a hungry ghost before he went on the road.

And the reason why Yelu Yanxi sent sheep into the tiger's mouth was also to leave a way for the Khitan soldiers behind him to live, but he didn't want to end up with the annihilation of the army because of himself.

Murong Fu was somewhat surprised that Yelu Yanxi dared to come alone.

Looking at Yelu Yanxi, who was gobbling up, Murong Fu didn't open his mouth to interrupt, and seemed willing to wait until he had eaten and drunk enough before negotiating.

A quarter of an hour later, Yelu Yanxi's face turned red, he picked up a few pieces of meat foam from the table and put them in his mouth, and after drinking the wine again, he happily threw the wine jug on the ground, and asked with bloodshot eyes: "Say!" What conditions do you have to put forward to let them go? ”

Murong Fu smiled lightly: "Since Your Majesty is so anxious, then this king will make a long story short!" ”

"It is not difficult to let go of the soldiers of the Liao army, and even the lives of Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty is willing to return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that plundered my Great Song Dynasty back then, you can all return to your hometown safely."

Hearing this, Yelu Yanxi's face sank instantly, but he was not in a hurry to get angry and refuse, but was weighing the pros and cons.

The sixteen states of Yanyun are attached to the Great Wall, which is a natural barrier for the Central Plains Dynasty to resist foreign nomads, and has the name of "covering the heavens and the earth to divide the feudal domains and the limits of the Han Dynasty, and the sincerity of one husband is the pass, and the ten thousand people are also in front of it", which can be described as the gateway of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains.

However, since Shi Jingjiao, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitans, the Central Plains Dynasty lost this barrier, so that the Khitan invaded the border, but the Great Song Dynasty was powerless to resist, so they could only dig this water Great Wall to defend themselves.

However, Murong Fu knew that this water defense line could only be a temporary means for the Great Song Dynasty to defend against the Liao attack, and if it could not recover Yanyun and other places, the Great Song Dynasty could only passively defend itself and would never be able to protect itself.

Therefore, the sixteen states of Yanyun are not unimportant to the Great Song Dynasty.

According to the course of history, although the Great Song Dynasty has never given up recovering Yanyun and other places, it has not been able to complete this feat since the Northern Song Dynasty until the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, and even Murong Fu himself is not confident that he will be able to recover Yanyun by strength in the future while retreating from the Great Wall of Water, and now there is an opportunity to recapture Yanyun without spending a single soldier, and he will naturally not let it go.

The formation of the Great Wall of Water not only blocked the iron cavalry of the Liao army, but also limited the possibility of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty to recover the lost territory to a certain extent.

Murong Fu was not in a hurry to urge, and it was not until Yelu Yanxi said that he refused that he slowly spoke: "I can lead the righteous army to help Your Majesty exterminate the traitors and regain control of the Great Liao, but Your Majesty will divide Jinyuan, Chuanzhou, Qianzhou, and the south of Yizhou in Liaodong to me as my domain!" ”

These states surrounded Longcheng and were close to the Bohai Sea, and were not military strongholds, which were preparations for Murong Fu to expand the territory of the domain.

Hearing this, Yelu Yanxi said without hesitation: "I can promise you this matter......

However, before he could be happy, Murong Fu interrupted: "The premise is that Your Majesty has to return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise everything will not be discussed!" ”

Yelu Yanxi's eyes were cold and said, "Do you know how important Yanyun and others are to my Great Liao?" ”

"Is it important to have anything to do with Your Majesty? As long as I trap His Majesty's army here for a month, the food and grass problem alone will kill you, and then the elders of His Majesty's court will return to Northern Liao, and how many of these 200,000 troops can survive? ”

"The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were originally owned by the Central Plains Dynasty, but now they are just returned to their original owners, why doesn't Your Majesty even understand this truth?"

Murong Fu did not argue with him hoarsely, but said calmly.
