North Song

Chapter 864: A shocking move, the last salvation

Views:

Yelu Longxu had expected that he might lose, but he really couldn't accept it as soon as the game started.

"Puff..."

Yelu Longxu spit out a mouthful of blood in a hurry.

The body slowly fell back.

"Father?!"

Yeluzong really looked shocked and shouted in horror.

Yelu Longxu fell on the dragon chair, and pulled him down on the dragon chair.

With the pulling of the father and son, a long cotton rope also appeared between the father and son.

It turned out that Yelu Longxu was already paralyzed, and he couldn't sit up at all.

The reason why he can sit on the dragon chair is because there is a cotton rope tied around the waist of the father and son.

Yelu Longxu sat up with the real power of his son Yeluzong.

Now one step back, pulling Yelv Zongzhen also fell backward.

The father and son fell on the dragon chair.

The guards around wanted to exclaim, wanted to shout.

But they were stopped by Yelulongxu's close-fitting eunuch. Not only that, Yelulong's close-fitting eunuch also let them guard around the dragon chair, blocking their father and son.

The father and son fell suddenly, and the eunuchs and guards were added to cover up, so few people saw it and did not cause much disturbance.

Yeluzong really crawled to Yelu Longxu's front, shouting in horror, "Father, are you okay?"

Yelulong Xu's face was like gold paper lying in the dragon chair, feeling that he was on the verge of dying.

He has reached the point where the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry, and the reason why he is still alive now is completely supported by a single breath.

Yelu Longxu heard Yeluzong really exclaimed, and his lips moved slightly.

Yelv Zongzhen hurriedly pressed his ear to Yelu Longxu's mouth.

Yelu Longxu's lips squirmed, "The general situation is gone, I am too arrogant, and I ruined your country. Right now we are afraid that we will not even be able to escape.

Even if we escaped here, we can't escape.

Song State will never give you and my father and son a chance to escape from the Sixteenth State of Yanyun.

If we had to flee, we would probably have no more people left by our side, and we would not have the power to protect ourselves.

Chaos outside the pass is now in chaos, and there are still Song soldiers entrenched near the upper capital.

I will find a way to make a living for you and leave you some self-protection forces.

You tell Xiao Chanbu, the whole army will press on.

When the war is over, I will tell you what to do. "

Yeluzongzhen's eyes were red, and he slowly got up, helping Yelulongxu to sit up again.

After sitting up, Yelu Longxu didn't speak, but just glanced at the eunuch.

The eunuch gritted his teeth, took out a box of rouge from his cuff, and slowly smeared it on Yelu Longxu's face.

After Yelulongxu applied rouge, his cheeks became more red.

It looks a little better.

Yeluzong really helped Yelulongxu, with tears in his eyes, crying, and whispered: "Father has an order, the whole army is forced!"

The eunuch solemnly nodded his head and instructed the surrounding guards to return to their respective positions, and then took small steps to find Xiao Chanbu, who was commanding the battle, and quickly conveyed Yelu Longxu’s will to Xiao Yun. Bu.

After Xiao Chanbu heard Yelu Longxu's will, his face was very ugly.

Yelu Longxu could see clearly the situation on the battlefield, how could Xiao Chanbu couldn't see through.

The war has entered a disadvantage from the beginning, and it is still a major disadvantage, and there is almost no chance of a comeback.

Under such circumstances, we should retreat instead of smashing with Song Guo.

But Yelu Longxu chose to fight with Song Guo, he could only follow Yelu Longxu's orders.

Xiao Chanbu sent the entire army of Liao soldiers to press on.

Hundreds of thousands of Liao soldiers rushed to the battlefield in one breath, but the battlefield on the two wings was stabilized.

But the front battlefield was still being crushed.

When faced with the supply of firearms from the Song State, no matter how large the number of Liao soldiers were, it seemed useless.

Covered by the dense firepower net, there is almost no room for people to take advantage of.

Xiao Chanbu had to send slingers and crossbowmen to shoot at the Song soldiers in order to relieve the pressure on the Liao soldiers charging on the battlefield.

On the head of Youzhou City.

Zhao Zhen, Cao Wei, and Kou Ji looked at the battlefield with something wrong.

"Obviously it is already a big disadvantage, why will the Liao soldiers still be suppressed by the whole army?!"

Zhao Zhen asked with a puzzled look.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji looked at each other and shook their heads together.

They also couldn't understand the operation of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.

Cao Wei groaned: "Since the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sent someone to kill us, then we have no reason to be polite. If we can wipe out the Liao army outside Youzhou City, we will not only get back the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. Even if it takes a lot of effort to conquer other places in Liao, it will be effortless."

Zhao Zhen and Kou Jiqi nodded together.

Cao Wei ordered: "Leave me free and kill as many as you can."

With the order of Cao Wei, the offensive of the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty became more swift and violent.

The Liaobing was consuming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The fighting lasted from morning to evening, and the number of Liao soldiers almost dwindled to the point of astonishment.

The Liao soldiers wanted to withdraw from the battlefield several times, but they were all forced back to the battlefield by soldiers and horses sent by the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.

Cao Wei had no intention of killing people. He looked at the battlefield in astonishment and said in disbelief: "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu seems to be forcing the Liao soldiers to go to the battlefield to let us kill. What is his plan?"

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji were also at a loss, completely wondering what the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was thinking.

It stands to reason that the Great Song Soldiers and Horses have taken an absolute advantage, and the Liao Soldiers hardly have any chance of comeback.

The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu didn't retreat, and he was still struggling with the Song Dynasty.

He is not afraid to knock down the family of the Liao Kingdom. When the time comes, Yeluzong really doesn't even have the power to guard the country

"Mingjin!"

After night fell completely, Cao Wei chose Mingjin to retreat.

After the Great Song Bingma withdrew from the battlefield.

Zhao Zhen, Cao Wei, and Kou Ji went down the city wall to the palace of Youzhou City.

Chong Shiheng, Di Qing, and Gao Chugong also entered the palace one after another.

As soon as the palace was in progress, after Gao Fang Gong gave a salute to Zhao Zhen, he shouted: "We obviously wiped out the strength of the Liao soldiers in one fell swoop, why didn't we fight?"

Three eyes fell on Gao Gong.

Gao Chu Gong froze in place for an instant, and did not dare to say a word.

Zhao Zhen, Cao Wei, and Kou Ji withdrew their gazes when they saw that the high place had stopped.

Zhao Zhen sat silently on the main seat.

Cao Wei said solemnly: "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's behavior is very abnormal. I suspect that he has a plot, but I don't know what he is plotting."

Kou Ji thought about it: "Our army now has the advantage, and the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu has almost no chance of a comeback. So even if he has a plan, he probably has nothing to do with the war."

After listening to what Cao Wei and Kou Ji had said, Zhong Shiheng and Di Qing also nodded their heads to indicate that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu might have a plan.

Di Qing said solemnly: "From morning to noon, the Liao soldiers are really against us. I can feel the pressure. But after noon, the Liao soldiers are like being sent to death on their own initiative. I can't feel anything at all. pressure."

Zhong Shiheng nodded and said, "I feel the same way too!"

Gao Chugong carefully glanced at the three big guys he couldn't afford to provoke, and then said uncertainly: "Could it be that Yelulongxu is dying, and his brain is confused?"

The eyes of Zhao Zhen, Cao Wei, and Kou Ji once again fell on Gao Chu Gong.

Gao Chu Gong's body froze again.

Zhao Zhen said unceremoniously: "You go down and rest first."

Gao Chugong cried and bowed his face, and obediently withdrew from the palace.

Cao Wei said quietly: "This man, the older he gets, the more confused he gets."

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji nodded in agreement.

Cao Wei's old confusion refers to Gao Chu Gong, not Yelu Longxu.

After Cao Wei finished evaluating Gao Chu Gong, he didn't bother to be distracted by Gao Chu Gong again.

Several people gathered together to discuss what the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu had.

After discussing it for a long time, there was no reason for it.

It's coming.

Cao Wei sighed, "Since you can't guess it, don't guess. I will give them time to breathe overnight and time to escape overnight. Before dawn, if we still can't guess the plot of Liao Emperor Yelulongxu , I will order the soldiers and horses to wipe out the Liao soldiers outside the city.

If we can catch Yelulongxu's father and son, we can ask them in person. "

Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji and others nodded in agreement.

Just when Zhao Zhen was about to tell everyone to go back and rest.

Chen Lin hurried into the palace and reported in a low voice: "Officials, there are Liao envoys outside the city asking for a meeting."

Zhao Zhen suspiciously said: "What did the Liao envoy come to do during the war?"

Cao Wei thought about it and said, "It might be for peace."

Zhao Zhen said quietly, "Is it too late to seek peace now?"

Kou Ji looked at Cao Wei and Zhao Zhen and said, "We have enough power to defeat them. It seems that there is no reason to accept them for peace."

Zhao Zhen and Cao Wei nodded together.

Since Da Song has the strength to defeat the Liao soldiers in one fell swoop, there is no need to negotiate with the Liao State.

Da Song had enough troops to beat Liao.

Da Song also had enough financial resources to consume with Liao.

There is no reason to negotiate with Liao.

Cao Wei asked: "Then refuse?!"

Kou Ji did not speak.

Zhao Zhen shook his head and smiled: "No, I want to hear what they will say."

Cao Wei and Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen suspiciously.

Zhao Zhen sighed for a long time and said, "When the father sent Cao to use for the peace talks, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu probably said the same, right?"

Cao Wei grumbled, but did not speak.

If he remembers correctly, when the Liao soldiers went south, the governors were Xiao Yanyan, the Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom, and Yelu Longxu's cheap old son Han Derang, and there was nothing wrong with Yelu Longxu at all.

Cao Weiming knew that Zhao Zhen's words were wrong, but he did not refute.

Because he realized one thing.

Zhao Zhen mentioned Zhao Heng and peace talks.

It should be a shame.

I want to meet the Liao ambassador and let them taste the humiliation of Song Dynasty when he was in the alliance of Tanyuan.

"Then see you..."

Kou Ji also saw Zhao Zhen's thoughts, so he followed Zhao Zhen's words and said something.

With a decision, Zhao Zhen ordered Chen Lin to summon the Liao envoy.

Chen Lin left half of the envoy before she appeared in the palace with the Liao envoy.

After entering the palace, the envoy of Liao respectfully saluted Zhao Zhen and said sincerely: "The envoy of the lower state, Xiao Chanbu, see your majesty the emperor of the upper state..."

Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, and Cao Wei all looked surprised.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but said, "I didn't expect that you, the Prime Minister of the Northern Prefecture of Liao Kingdom, would actually act as an envoy personally."

Xiao Chanbu said very modestly: "As a foreign minister, he is barely qualified to meet with His Majesty the Emperor. It is impolite to change to someone else."

Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with Xiao Chanbu's attitude. He sat upright and asked: "The Liao Emperor sent you to see me, why?"

Xiao Chanbu saluted again and said: "The foreign minister is only a deputy envoy, so he doesn't know the purpose of this mission."

As soon as this remark came out.

The complexion of everyone in the palace changed.

Zhao Zhen stared at Xiao Yanbu and asked, "You mean, you're just a deputy?!"

The prime minister of the Northern Prefecture of Liao Kingdom served as deputy envoy, and only two people could afford the identity of the chief envoy.

Xiao Chanbu nodded solemnly.

There was a flash of surprise in Zhao Zhen's eyes, and he looked at Cao Wei and Kou Ji.

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and said, "Chong Shiheng and Di Qing, you two should go down and rest first."

Chong Shiheng and Di Qing judged that something earth-shattering was about to happen based on Xiao Chanbu's words just now, and they wanted to stay.

But Kou Ji spoke, Zhao Zhen seemed to have acquiesced, and they couldn't continue to stay in the palace.

After a bow, the two withdrew from the palace.

Zhao Zhen told Chen Lin: "Remove Gong E and the eunuch from the palace."

Chen Lin agreed and let all the waiting Gong E and eunuchs in the palace withdraw from the palace.

After Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji had done everything, Zhao Zhen stared at Xiao Chan and said, "I want to know, who is the righteous messenger of Liao Kingdom?"

Xiao Chanbu took a deep breath and confronted Zhao Zhen and said: "Your Majesty wants to know who the acting envoy is. You only need to change the person and put the acting envoy in."

Zhao Zhen took a deep look at Xiao Chanbu and said, "Chen Lin! Go!"

Chen Lin agreed and was about to leave.

Just listen to Zhao Zhen's instructions again: "By the way, let people block news."

Chen Lin agreed and rushed to the gate of Youzhou City with people.

After a full envoy.

A sedan chair carried by eight people landed at the gate of the palace.

After the sedan chair fell, the people in the sedan chair did not come out. Chen Lin hurried into the palace, and in Zhao Zhen's questioning look, she lied in Zhao Zhen's ear and whispered.

After Zhao Zhen heard Chen Lin's whisper, his face changed again and again.

At first, he was shocked and proud, and then he was solemn.

Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on Kou Ji and Cao Wei, and he said with a heavy voice: "You two should go out."

Kou Ji and Cao Wei's eyes widened, and their faces were unbelievable.

"No... No way?!"

Cao Wei yelled out in astonishment.

Zhao Zhen didn't pay attention to Cao Wei, but instead told Chen Lin: "Prepare me for court dress!"

When Cao Wei heard this, he knew that what he had guessed might be true.

Cao Wei immediately got up and tidied up his clothes.

The same is true for Kou Ji.

The two hurried out of the palace and rushed to the sedan chair outside the palace.

Looking at the sedan chair that stopped quietly, the two of them had mixed feelings.

But the two did not speak.

He just walked to the sedan chair, arched his hands, bent over, and said nothing.

Seeing the two salutes.

All the guards outside the palace bowed and saluted together.

Xiao Chanbu had left the palace early and stood by the sedan chair.

After Kou Ji and Cao Wei gave the ceremony, they sighed a long sigh, saluted the sedan chair, opened the sedan curtain, and carried the people inside astray.

However, a dry hand stretched out from the sedan chair to stop Xiao Chanbu.

Soon.

One foot stepped out of the sedan chair.

An old figure, dressed in rags and linen, appeared outside the sedan chair.

Standing firmly on the ground.

Although Cao Wei and Kou Ji had guessed who came, their faces still showed surprise when the person stood in front of them.

"Puffing..."

Xiao Chanbu knelt on the ground, staring at the man, crying with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

That person was the emperor of Liao Kingdom Yelu Longxu.

Since ancient times, the king has not seen the king.

If they meet, one of them must be the king of subjugation.

Now that the Liao Kingdom is not dead, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu has appeared in Youzhou City occupied by the Song Dynasty.

It can be said to be the first time.

After Cao Wei and Kou Ji saw the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, their waists were lower.

It was not that they were afraid of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, nor was they afraid of the strength of the Liao Kingdom.

They simply expressed their respect to an emperor.

Other than that, there is no other meaning.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stood in front of the palace gate, looking at the familiar architectural style, slightly lost.

After staring at the palace for a long time, he set his sights on Cao Wei and Kou Ji.

"Cao Wei, I thought I could live longer than you..."

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sighed.

Cao Wei bowed and said, "Your Majesty the emperor said and laughed."

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Kou Ji and said, "Kou Ji, I thought you were just a talented person."

Kou Ji bowed and said, "You are so accurate in seeing people."

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu laughed at himself and stepped into the palace.

Xiao Chanbu quickly got up from the ground and followed the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji glanced at each other quickly, and quickly got up to follow.

All the way to the main hall of the palace.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stepped in.

Inside the main hall.

Zhao Zhen dressed in court clothes and sat upright in the seat.

Beside him, there is also a seat.

Two seats, one on the left and the other on the right, are not different.

In the main hall.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu looked at Zhao Zhen with a complicated expression.

The same is true for Zhao Zhen.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

Zhao Zhen spoke slowly, "I really didn't expect that you would dare to come to Youzhou City alone."

The practice of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu is really unbelievable.

Even if this matter was said out, no one wrote back in the world.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu heard Zhao Zhen's words and sighed for a long time. He laughed at himself: "I didn't expect..."

Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "You are not afraid, did I take you at this opportunity?"

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu smiled and said: "You won't, and it doesn't make any sense if you take me. Because before I came, I had passed the throne to my son Yelu Zongzhen.

Now I am just a person without identity. "

Zhao Zhen was slightly startled, and said solemnly: "I didn't expect you to have the courage to pass on the throne."

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said calmly: "The dying person, occupying that position again, will not benefit the least."

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and asked: "You came to see me, what's the matter?"

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Zhao Zhen without saying a word. After watching Zhao Zhen for a long time, he slowly bends his knees.

"bass!"

Zhao Zhen stood up instantly, the unbelievable look on his face hard to conceal.

Outside the temple.

Xiao Chanbu was already crying.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji opened their mouths in shock, unable to express their feelings.

"No!"

Zhao Zhen shouted loudly, obviously a little gagged.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji almost jumped into the main hall, erecting Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu on the left and right.

If the Liao Kingdom is subjugated.

Even if Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu knelt straight there, no one would pity him.

But the Liao Kingdom has not died yet.

If Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu really knelt down to Zhao Zhen, not only his majesty would be swept away, but Zhao Zhen's majesty would also be swept away.

And the supremacy of imperial power would collapse instantly.

more importantly.

The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was once commensurate with the brothers of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty.

One name means decades.

Zhao Zhen couldn't accept the great gift of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.

Zhao Zhen let go of his heart after seeing Kou Ji and Cao Wei driving the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu. He gritted his teeth and asked the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu, "What are you doing?!"

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said with a hoarse voice: "Please...for my sake of obedience, leave a way for your goddamn brother..."

Zhao Zhen's expression instantly changed.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji's faces were wrong.

They had long guessed that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu had a conspiracy, but they didn't expect that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was so sturdy, and when he could not come back, he personally rushed to Zhao Zhen to convince him.

The purpose is to give Yelv Zongzhen, to the Liao State, in exchange for some vitality.

The practice of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu has exceeded the cognition of the three of them.

The three of them had never seen such a scene, and had never seen such a scene in history books.

Seeing Zhao Zhen's face changed drastically and there was no words, Liao Emperor Yelulongxu continued: "The warriors who can fight in the Liao Kingdom have died on the battlefield today. Now what is left is just some troops for your brother to protect himself, yes. You have no threats.

You leave him a way of life and let him live. "

Zhao Zhen stared at the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, still without words.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu continued: "During my reign, the Liao soldiers did cause a lot of murders to Song Dynasty. If you feel that this killing needs to be repaid, you can take my life at any time.

Just beg you to let your goddamn brother out. "

Zhao Zhen didn't know what to say.

Cao Wei and Kou Ji didn't know what to say.

No one ever thought that things would happen to this point.

No one has ever thought about how to deal with the current situation.

Seeing this, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Zhao Zhen forcefully.

"I never thought that an emperor could do this. Uncle Emperor, you were once the emperor who dominated the world. In order to find a way out for my emperor's brother, you actually did it.

I want to know, is it worth it? "

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Zhao Zhen and said seriously: "My imperial brother, I will give the throne to you when he dies, not to the nephews he used to raise in the palace and prepare to be the crown prince.

He knows that his nephews are older and will be more stable than you when they sit on the throne.

He knows that you are very young. After you sit on the throne, you will be dominated by your aunt and courtiers for many years.

He still passed the throne to you.

Have you asked him, is it worth it? "

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he was silent for a long time, and said with difficulty: "I understand."

After saying this, Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on Cao Wei and Kou Ji, "You said, should I agree?"

Cao Wei and Kou Ji pursed their lips, but did not speak.

This matter is not something they can participate in.

Zhao Zhen saw that Cao Wei and Kou Ji did not answer, nor did he follow up.

He pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "My brother, don't use the emperor title in the future. I can't hold any one who is proclaimed in front of me. I can allow him to bring 50,000 soldiers and horses and leave the switch.

I will not guarantee whether he will survive after he leaves the customs.

The Liao soil outside the customs will not belong to the Liao in the future, and I will not guarantee it. "

At this point, Zhao Zhen paused, and his eyes fell on Yelu Longxu.

"You can go back, and I will assume you have never been."

Yelu Longxu straightened up and respectfully saluted Zhao Zhen.

"Foreign Minister Yelu Longxu, thank you, His Majesty Longen!"

After saying this, Yelu Longxu bowed and exited the main hall of the palace.

Xiao Chanbu hurriedly greeted him, Yelu Longxu forced some smiles, and said to Xiao Chanbu: "Tell me, I was useless and didn't help him hold the country. Let him not complain about me. I can help him. Yes, it is to use my identity to exchange for the vitality inside the switch, and everything will depend on him in the future.

I am sorry to the ancestors of Daliao, and I have no face to return to the capital after death.

After I died, you burned my body and raised it outside Youzhou City.

If my Liao people can set foot here in the future, give me a mausoleum.

If not, let me be a sinner and let tens of thousands trample it. "

"His Majesty!!"

Xiao Chanbu choked and shouted.

Yelu Longxu laughed again, and whispered: "The effect of tiger wolf medicine is overwhelming... Help me onto the sedan chair. I don't want to die in front of others. It's too ugly to die in front of others."

Xiao Chanbu hurriedly stepped forward and supported Yelu Longxu.

Yelu Longxu walked out with the support of Xiao Chanbu.

After walking a few steps, his head rested on Xiao Chanbu's shoulder, and there was no more movement.
