Xiao Sali saw everyone retreat, but his mood was not relaxed at all, and a depressing and unsettling atmosphere permeated the sky over the entire city, making Sa Liyu feel restless.

Xiao Sa returned to the office and sat down behind the handsome case.

The local prefect hurried in, his face full of panic. This person's name is Yeluzuo, originally the royal family of Liao, because of his diligence and loyalty, so he was not affected by the previous rejection of the Khitans, and now he is the prefect of Xianping Prefecture, which is a feudal official.

Yeluzuo hurriedly reported to Xiao Sali: "Dashuai, the arrow book was shot from the city just now. As he spoke, he handed over a letter of arrows.

Xiao Sali frowned, took the arrow book, read it, and looked very hesitant.

Yeluzuo couldn't help but ask, "Dashuai, what did the other party say?" ”

Xiao Sali shouted: "It's a letter from Emperor Daming, asking me to abandon the darkness and turn to the light." ”

Yeluzuo asked cautiously, "I don't know what the big handsome wants?" ”

Xiao Sali frowned and said, "As an imperial general, how can I surrender to the enemy?" ”

Yelu Zuo said: "Dashuai, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. Xiao Sali shouted, "Say it." Yeluzuo then said: "It has always been that human beings cannot resist the sky!" Now Daming can be described as the destiny of heaven, and it is destined to unify the world! What's the point of us fighting against it other than losing our lives in vain? Xiao Sali frowned and did not speak.

Yeluzuo saw Xiao Sali's expression in his eyes, and continued: "Besides, between the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty today, it's really hard to say who is good and who is evil!" Xiao Sali glared and shouted: "Hugh is talking nonsense! ”

Jerod bowed his head.

Xiao Sali stared at Yeluzuo and said, "Listen to what you mean, you want me to surrender to the Ming Dynasty!" When did you become a lobbyist for Daming? ”

Yeluzuo's heart froze, and he hurriedly said: "It's just a matter of facts, don't misunderstand!" If the marshal is determined to fight with the Ming Dynasty to the end, the minister should live and die with him! At this time of crisis, hearing such words, Xiao Sali couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and nodded with satisfaction.

Yeluzuo followed: "If the marshal is determined to defend to the death, with our current situation, I'm afraid we can only use the mantis arm as a car!" ”

Xiao Sali shouted: "There are more than 100,000 people in the city, and you can mobilize all the people. ”

Yeluzuo smiled bitterly: "If this is the case, I am afraid that the city will fall in an instant!" Marshal, recently, in order to obtain military rations and military funds, the imperial court has wantonly looted the people, and now the people are complaining! If the people are mobilized, I am afraid that they will contact the Ming army outside the city to open the city gate that night! ”

Xiao Sali felt that what Yeluzuo said was very reasonable, and couldn't help but nodded.

Yelu Zuo glanced at Xiao Sali and said, "Marshal, for the sake of today, I can only ask Your Majesty for help, and I hope that Your Majesty's reinforcements can arrive in time!" Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable! Of course, you and I are crushed, and this Xianping Mansion will not be guaranteed! ”

Xiao Sali sighed, "How can there be any reinforcements now!" We are on our own! Jeruzo stopped talking, and looked pessimistic. Xiao Sali thought about the current situation, and only felt that there was only one way to die.

Early the next morning, the drums and horns outside the city were fighting, and Xiao Sali, who had slept on a chair for half the night, woke up in shock. Hearing the sound of war drums and trumpets from outside the city, he hurriedly rushed out of the palace and went straight to the city wall. Looking outside the city, I saw that the Ming Dynasty was slowly approaching in a battle formation, with flags and clouds, swords and guns like a forest, smoke and dust rolling, and a murderous aura. Xiao Sa was stunned from his heart, and hurriedly looked around, only to see that the soldiers around him were all showing fear, how could they have any fighting spirit. Xiao Sa sank straight down from his heart.

The Ming army stopped at two hundred paces near the city wall, and then a momentum left the army and galloped to the city, shouting: "Our Emperor His Majesty wants to talk to Xiao Sali Dashuai!" ”

Xiao Sali hesitated for a moment, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, we will meet between the two armies." The knight immediately turned his horse and ran back. Xiao Sali went down from the city wall and rode out of the city gate until between the two armies, and Yang Peng also rode his black dragon to the two armies.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Sali bowed slightly.

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Xiao Sa is leaving, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

"Yes, it's been a few years." Then he couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what Your Majesty's intentions are?" ”

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Do you really want to be martyred for Brother Ye Hugh?" ”

Xiao Sali frowned and said, "As a courtier, you don't have a choice!" ”

Yang Peng nodded and said, "You are very loyal, this is good." But there is a right and wrong way to be loyal. You are right and wrong to be loyal to Yaren Hugo! Xiao Sali frowned and said, "I don't understand what Your Majesty means. ”

Yang Peng said: "How did Brother Ye Hugo come to power? How did Tiger City die? You don't need me to tell you any of that, do I? Xiao Sali frowned and did not speak.

Yang Peng said: "What Brother Ye Hugh did can only be said to be a national thief for the Liao State. If you are really loyal to the Liao State, then you should avenge the first emperor of your Liao State! "The reason why Yang Peng said this was because of the death of the child emperor before Ye Hugo. At that time, Yehu Hugo launched a mutiny under the slogan of the Qing monarch and put the actual power of the king under house arrest. Soon after, however, the child emperor died mysteriously, and everyone suspected that it was Yasukhugo. Soon after, he was officially enthroned as emperor.

After listening to Yang Peng's words, Xiao Sali frowned tightly and did not speak.

Yang Peng smiled and said: "If you really want to say anything loyal, I want to ask you, where is your loyalty to your ancestors?" Now in the face of the enemies who killed the first emperor and the thieves who robbed the country, not only do they not want to take revenge, but also say loyalty, isn't it ridiculous? ”

Xiao Sali made a mess in his mind, and said angrily: "I am for the sake of the Ye family, and I can't be taken away by your Daming!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "The country of the Ye family? The rivers and mountains have never belonged to any one person, and the rivers and mountains of your so-called Yelu family were not from the Yelu family of the Liao State a few decades ago? In this way, who belongs to the country is simply an unsolved case, and it is impossible to say! It's not anyone who is rushing to the country, the country belongs to all the people! The one who is superior is not the master of the people, but the strong man who protects the people! Xiao Sali was shocked in his heart.

Yang Peng continued: "The eldest princess you respected the most before came to me when she saw this! ”

Xiao Sali asked in surprise, "Didn't the eldest princess go to Daming because of personal feelings?" ”

Yang Peng laughed and said, "This is just one of the reasons. Xiao Sali drank and showed a look of thought.

Yang Peng said: "With the strength of our army, it can be said that it is effortless to take Xianping Mansion. The reason why I want to say this to you before the war starts is that I don't want to see a good city destroyed by war, and I don't want to see the people in the city cry out in pain because of the war. Xiao Sali was shocked in his heart.

Yang Peng said: "Choose now, whether you want to fight or peace." ”

Xiao Sa is away from drinking at this moment, heaven and man are fighting, and I don't know what to do. Yang Peng is an indifferent mentality. For Yang Peng, it is naturally best to save some trouble, if it can't save trouble, it doesn't matter.

After a long time, Xiao Sali raised his head and said, "Please give me a little time, I will lead all the soldiers and horses out of the city to surrender." ”

Yang Peng nodded, "Okay." Then he turned his horse and returned to the military formation. Xiao Sa turned his horse and went back into the city.

As soon as Xiao Sali entered the city, all the officers and soldiers gathered around, all looking hopeful and expectant. The subordinate general Xiao Da Buye couldn't help but ask: "Dashuai, what did you say to Emperor Daming?" ”

Xiao Sali looked at everyone's eyes, and suddenly felt that the Liao State was really gone, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said: "Emperor Ming said that our majesty is a usurper and rebellious, we should not die for him, ask us to surrender, he will guarantee the safety and freedom of everyone." ”

Xiao Dabuyu hurriedly said: "He's right! The surrounding generals nodded their heads, and they all watched Xiao Sali drink longingly.

Xiao Sali sighed and said, "Do you want me to surrender?" ”

The general Ye Kui said: "Daming is already the desire of the people, why should we bother ourselves!" The generals nodded in agreement.

Xiao Sali glanced at everyone and nodded, "Since everyone thinks like this, then surrender!" When the generals saw that Xiao Sali agreed, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Soon after, the city gate was opened, and Xiao Sali and the prefect Yeluzuo led the whole city out of the city to ask for surrender. The Ming side accepted the surrender of the other party and drove into the city. Immediately the Ming Dynasty issued an announcement, mainly saying two contents, one is that there is no crime with the people, if the soldiers do evil, the people can go to the camp to complain, and someone will make decisions for them; The second is to abolish all unreasonable taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the Liao court, and at the same time confiscate the land of the nobles and distribute it unconditionally to the common people as needed. As soon as this announcement came out, the whole city rejoiced, and the people's hearts seemed to be completely attached to the Ming Dynasty at once.

Yang Peng left 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard Xianping Mansion, so that Yeluzuo was still the prefect of Xianping, and at the same time controlled nearly 100 surrounding cities, one to raise money and food for the army, and the other to restore local order. Yeluzuo was overjoyed and bowed down in front of Yang Peng.

The army rested in Xianping Mansion for one night, and early the next morning, Yang Peng led the army south and drove directly to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, Liaoguo. This Liaoyang Mansion is now Liaoyang City, even in ancient times thousands of years ago, this is also a famous city.

In other words, Yang Peng's army swept from the north, and the news of defeat continued to spread to Liaoyang, and the entire Liao court was in a panic, and everyone was like ants on a hot pot, completely messed up.

"What now? You have something to say! Brother Hugo said with an anxious expression.

The ministers looked at each other. The minister, Xiao Wei Jinglun, came out and said, "Your Majesty, haven't we already asked the Holy Roman Empire for help?" Could it be that reinforcements from the Holy Roman Empire have not yet arrived? ”

Yehugo said angrily: "The Holy Roman Empire is not under my control, I know so well why their reinforcements have not arrived for a long time?" ”

Xiao Zonghan said: "The Holy Roman Empire is thousands of miles away from our country, so I really intend to send troops to help, but I'm afraid that the far water can't save the near fire, and now we have to rely on the Mongols!" ”

Ye Hugo thought so, and immediately looked at Cheng Guodong, the minister in charge of liaison with the Mongols, and asked hopefully, "Is there any news from the Mongols?" "Cheng Guodong, a Han Chinese, was originally put in prison by Brother Huge, but he was released by Brother Huge, and was awarded the position of prime minister.

Cheng Guodong heard Ye Hugh's question, and immediately came out, bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I just got news from the Mongolian side not long ago, and the Mongols have promised to send troops. ”

When everyone heard this, it was as if they had grasped a life-saving straw, and everyone looked happy. Xiao Wei Jinglun said excitedly: "Once the Mongols send troops, the Ming army on the northern front will have to retreat north!" Everyone agreed, saying that as long as the Mongols sent troops, the immediate crisis could be lifted, as if the Mongols were their great savior. However, once upon a time, the Mongols were only their vassals.

At this moment, a herald rushed to the main hall in a hurry, and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty is not good, it is not good! Liaoxi Prefecture, Liaoxi Prefecture is lost! When everyone suddenly heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue, and they were all stupid. Immediately, there was a commotion in the main hall, and everyone was terrified and overwhelmed. Xiao Yujinglun exclaimed with a pale face: "How is this good, how is this good?" Liaoxi Prefecture is lost, and the Ming army is about to come to the city! ”

Angry and angry at the herald, "What the hell is going on? How did Liaoxi Prefecture fall so quickly? Isn't there an army of 80,000 under his command? ”

Not long ago, the 200,000 Ming army led by Ye Yu Guanyin surrounded Liaoxi Prefecture, and continued to bombard the city with hundreds of improved python cannons. After a few days, the strong city wall of Liaoxi Prefecture was in tatters! During this period, although he sent troops to raid many times and tried to destroy the artillery of the Ming army, he lost his troops and gained nothing.

The Ming army used artillery to collapse the city wall of Liaoxi Prefecture, and then the army entered the city from the north, south and west. Xiao Gan led his soldiers and horses to resist desperately, and a bloody battle broke out between the two sides! However, the offensive of the Ming army was wave after wave, and the Khitan army finally could not resist it, and was rushed into the city by the Ming army from all directions. Xiao Gan still did not give up, led the remnants of the army and the Ming army to fight in the streets, the two sides fought in the city for almost half a day, and the corpses were filled with blood in the streets and alleys, and the Khitan army finally couldn't hold on, and followed this Xiao Gan to break through to understand, and Liaoxi Prefecture, which was extremely important to Tokyo, was lost.

Yeychelo didn't know what to do in the face of the current situation. Xiao Zonghan said: "Your Majesty, now that the northern and western fronts have been lost, it is better to concentrate all the troops in Tokyo to defend them!" Ye Hugh felt that there was no other way now, frowned and nodded, and suddenly said a little hysterically: "I will fight the Ming people to the end in Tokyo!" We haven't lost yet, we're not defeated yet! Then he said to Xiao Zonghan: "Immediately order everyone to retreat to Tokyo!" Xiao Zonghan promised and ran down.

After the meeting ended, he came to the concubine's bedroom. This concubine is the Zigit clan, who only entered the harem of Yehu Hugo half a year ago, and then collected thousands of favors and was divided into imperial concubines.

The Zigit clan was very happy when he saw that Brother Ye Hugh was coming, and hurriedly got up to greet him, "The concubine greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

When Brother Yahu saw the beautiful and moving Zigit clan, his troubled mood couldn't help but feel much better. Picking up Zigit, he took her slender hand and walked to the chair and sat down.

Seeing that there was a clear look of trouble in the eyes of Brother Yey, the Zigit clan couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty is worrying about state affairs again?" ”

Brother Ye Hugh couldn't help but sigh and said, "The Ming army is like a broken bamboo on the western front of the northern front, and it is about to come to the city!" Zigit's face changed, and he couldn't help but panic, and then forced a smile: "Your Majesty don't worry! Do you think that when our Da Liao was oppressed by the Xi tribe in a corner, didn't we turn the tide in the end, replace the Xi people, and establish the Great Liao? Now His Majesty is rich and has millions of troops from all over the world, and he will definitely be able to defeat the Ming people, but now it is only a temporary defeat! ”

Brother Ye Hugh smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that. Then he said with deep feelings: "I don't think it's interesting to be this emperor, if you can get along with your concubine for a lifetime as an ordinary person, it will be in vain!" ”

Zijit said with a smile: "Your Majesty was born as a Ninety-Five Supreme, how can you be like an ordinary person!" But no matter who Your Majesty becomes, the concubines will be by Your Majesty's side! Moved by the law, he put his arms around Zigit and kissed him bitterly. Zigit was so coquettish and soft that he couldn't stop it, so he wanted to pick up his gun and get on the horse.

At this moment, the voice of the personal palace maid of the Zigit clan suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!" ”

The surging lust of the two of them instantly subsided for more than half of them, and Yehu Hugo let go of Zigit, seeing that her eyes were as charming as silk, charming and moving, where she was willing to leave, he said; "Let's leave them alone!" As he spoke, he continued to beg for pleasure. Zigit said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, still, it's still important to get down to business!" If there is any urgent matter that is not dealt with in time, ah, the concubine, the concubine will become a sinner! ”

These words poured over the head of Yakhugo like a basin of cold water, and the lust in Hurri's heart subsided immediately. let go of the Zigit clan and sighed: "Concubine Ai is really a virtuous concubine, I should indeed put state affairs first!" Zigit looked at Yehu Hugo with watery eyes, but did not speak.

Jerehugo stood up and straightened his shirt. Zigit also stood up and cut his hair and dress.

Yehugo rushed outside and shouted, "Come in!" ”

The palace maid immediately stepped on broken steps and quickly came in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao Zonghan is asking to see you outside the palace, all urgent military intelligence reports." ”

Brother Yehu snorted and said, "Bring him here." The palace maid replied and retreated. After a while, I saw Xiao Zonghan, who was dressed in military uniform, walking in quickly, and bowed: "The last general will meet Your Majesty!" ”

Brother Ye Hugh said: "Don't talk nonsense, say something." ”

Xiao Zonghan immediately said: "The person we sent to Goryeo has sent a reply,......

Yeylord hurriedly asked, "Are the Koreans willing to send troops?" As mentioned earlier, Wang Yue returned to war-torn Goryeo at the instigation of her sister Wang Jun. At this time, there was no time for all parties to compete for other forces, so Wang Yue took this opportunity to win over the hearts of the people of Goryeo and announced the restoration of the country. This Goryeo was different from the previous Goryeo in that it only had the territory of the northern part of the former Goryeo, and the vast southern territory south of Kaegyong, including Kaegyo, was still in the hands of the Wa people. Ye Hugo actually went to Goryeo to ask for reinforcements, which shows that the Liao State has reached the point of exhaustion.

Xiao Zonghan shook his head and said, "The Goryeo people have sent troops, but they are sending troops to us!" ”

Yerhugo was taken aback, "What? ”

Xiao Zonghan continued: "Goryeo sent 100,000 troops and invaded the entire territory south of the Yalu River! "In this era, the southern part of the Yalu River, including the entire Changbai Mountain range, was actually the territory of the Liao State, which was previously the territory of the Liao State, and the Yalu River as a border between the two countries has not been since ancient times.

Brother Yahu was furious and shouted, "How dare little Goryeo be so bold! ”

Xiao Zonghan sighed and said, "They saw that we couldn't protect ourselves, so they wanted to take the opportunity to share a mouthful of blood food!" ”

Yahu Hugo paced back and forth irritably, hoping to raze the Goryeo region and kill all the people of Goryeo. However, such an idea can only be imagined now.

Brother Ye Hugh stopped, looked at Xiao Zonghan, and asked, "Is there any news from the Japanese people?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no reply from the Japanese side."

However, at the same time, Prince Yongren's envoy had already appeared in Yang Peng's big tent. I saw that the envoy bowed humbly and said: "The envoy of the small country greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Yang Peng asked, "What did your prince send you to do?" ”

The envoy bowed and said: "Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the Yamato nation is from Middle Earth, and it is the same root and origin as Middle Earth. Now that His Royal Highness has come to his senses, he has sent his subordinates to apologize to His Majesty and ask His Majesty for forgiveness! As a sign of sincerity, His Royal Highness has prepared a rich gift, including fifty Yamato virgins, as well as gunpowder and pearls, which are specialties of our country. These gifts have now left Hong Kong for Hangzhou. ”

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "You prince want to reconcile with me?" ”

The messenger nodded, "Exactly!" Your two countries have the same root and origin, they are one family, and they should live together in harmony! ”

Yang Peng sneered: "Who told you that we have the same roots? We Han people don't have filthy sons like you! ”

The envoy's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Why did Your Majesty say this?" ”

Yang Peng said: "Go back and tell you the prince, I'm not interested in accepting a son like you!" After we solve the Liao Kingdom, it will be your turn next! While our army has not yet launched an attack, enjoy life, your days are numbered! ”

When the envoy heard this straightforward declaration of war, he could not help but be so shocked that he did not know what to say for a moment.

Yang Peng threw the letter back to the envoy and said, "Between our two countries, either you die or I live, get out!" The messenger picked up the national letter and ran out, and there was laughter in the big tent.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
