...

On both sides of the Liaohe River.

Two armies confront each other.

On one side, there are 15 horses, of which there are as many as 12 to [-] horses, and the total number of horses exceeds [-].

On the other side, there are about 10 horses, of which the horse army is less than [-]. The overall strength seems to be a lot worse than that of the opposite side, but the momentum is not weak at all, and they are not afraid of fighting.

The two sides in this confrontation are naturally the Jin Army and the Liangshan Army.

……

Liangshan Army Zhongjun.

Xu Guanzhong and Wu Jie were on Li Yan's left and right, and the rest of the generals and staff were also surrounded by Li Yan.

In this battle, Xu Guanzhong is the commander-in-chief, Wu Jie is the commander-in-chief of the infantry, Yang Yizhong is the commander-in-chief of the horse army, and Wu Lin is the commander-in-chief of the Benlei Chariot. The formation is still the crescent formation.

There is no way, whether it is in terms of strength or types of arms, on the surface, the Jin army has an absolute advantage, so the crescent formation, which wins more with less, is more suitable for this battle.

What puzzled Li Yan and others was that although the Jin army on the opposite side had been prepared to attack, it had been slow to launch an attack.

The crescent formation is a defensive and counterattack formation. If the opponent does not take the initiative to attack, he can only stare blankly.

From morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon, the Jin army never launched an attack.

Li Yan asked Xu Guanzhong: "Should we send someone to ask? After a while, it will be dark, and this battle will not be fought."

Xu Guanzhong said very calmly: "We are not in a hurry for a decisive battle. The longer the delay, the better for us, so why bother to ask?"

As soon as Li Yan thought about it, he was right, so he restrained his mind and watched the changes quietly.

It's almost dusk.

A man and a horse suddenly came from the opposite side.

The visitor ran all the way to a stone bridge between the two armies, then stopped and shouted: "I am Gao Qingyi, I have something important to meet with the King of Liaodong."

Gao Qingyi had been sent to Shuibo Liangshan many times, so many people in Shuibo Liangshan knew him, so his identity was quickly confirmed.

Li Yan asked Gao Qingyi to be brought here.

Soon, Gao Qingyi came to Li Yan.

Li Yan looked at Gao Qingyi and asked, "What are you doing here? To find out the reality of our army?"

Gao Qingyi said: "The foreign minister is here to meet with you, King of Liaodong, on behalf of the emperor of our Dajin Kingdom."

Li Yan asked in surprise, "Wanyan Aguda wants to meet me?"

Gao Qingyi said: "That's right, the emperor of our Dajin Kingdom wants to meet with you, King of Liaodong."

Li Yan asked: "When? Where?"

Gao Qingyi said: "Right now, the place is on that stone bridge."

Before Li Yan could speak, Wu Jie said: "Your Majesty, beware of fraud."

When he was in the decisive battle with Emperor Tianzuo, Li Yan had made an appointment with Emperor Tianzuo.

As a result, Emperor Tianzuo did not dare to fight, which weakened the morale of the coalition forces and eventually defeated them.

Now that Wanyan Aguda is repaying him in the same way, if Li Yan does not invite him, it will definitely weaken the morale of the Liangshan Army.

Moreover, Li Yan saw that the stone bridge was unobstructed to the left and right, and the water was only half a foot deep, so there was no possibility of an ambush.

More importantly, Li Yan has confidence in his own martial arts, not to mention that Wanyan Aguda is old, even if he is still young, he can never be his opponent.

In addition, there is another very small reason, Li Yan is also a little curious about the most outstanding national leaders of this era.

Therefore, Li Yan stopped Wu Jie and said, "Go and tell Wanyan Aguda that we will meet after a stick of incense."

Gao Qingyi said: "The King of Liaodong is indeed a great hero. By the way, the King of Liaodong can take two people with him, and the emperor of our Dajin Kingdom will also bring two people."

Li Yan nodded, indicating that he knew, and then asked Gao Qingyi to go back.

After Gao Qingyi left, Li Yan said: "Yao Xing, Wu Lin, follow me to see Wanyan Aguda."

Yang Zaixing, Lu Junyi, Du Po, Shi Wengong, Sun An, and Fang Jie were all absent, and Yao Xing was a well-deserved top player in the army, so it was understandable for Li Yan to take Yao Xing there.

Although Wu Lin's martial arts skills are not bad, they are not at the level of top generals. Therefore, Li Yan brought Wu Lin, which really surprised many people, including Wu Lin himself.

The only reasonable explanation for Li Yan bringing Wu Lin is that Li Yan likes Wu Lin, so he brought Wu Lin on purpose.

This made Wu Lin's blood boil.

Wu Jie persuaded again: "Your Majesty, you can't go, this may be a trick of the financial master, trying to harm you."

Xu Guanzhong also persuaded: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so there is no need to take this risk."

Li Yan smiled and said: "I have already promised, how can I keep my word?"

Xu Guanzhong and Wu Jie had no choice but to send people to the stone bridge to check repeatedly, and after confirming that there was no danger, they asked Li Yan to go to the stone bridge to meet Wanyan Aguda.

The time for a stick of incense passed quickly.

Li Yan brought Yao Xing and Wu Lin to the end of the stone bridge.

At the same time, Wanyan Aguda also brought Wanyan Zongwang and a young man to the other end of the stone bridge.

Li Yan and Wanyan Aguda looked at each other for a long time.

In Li Yan's eyes, Wanyan Aguda was just like the most common old farmer, without any emperor's aura, which really surprised Li Yan.

In Wanyan Aguda's eyes, Li Yan was so young and strong, which made him jealous, "If I were 20 years younger, I would definitely fight this person this time!"

It seems to be a tacit understanding.

Li Yan and Wanyan Aguda stopped looking at each other at the same time, and then rode to the bridge.

Wanyan Aguda first asked: "Why do you want to occupy the Liaodong Peninsula of our Dajin Kingdom?"

Li Yandao: "You let me lose Yanyun, I want you a Liaodong Peninsula, how much?"

Wanyan Agu inquired about it, smiled heartily, and said: "Not much, how can the Liaodong Peninsula compare with Yanyun, you can go south to capture the Song State if you occupy Yanyun, but you can only occupy the Liaodong Peninsula of my Dajin, but you can only be safe." In this way, you are at a big loss."

Li Yandao: "Yes, I have lost a lot, so I have been thinking recently, should I take Dading Mansion again to find a psychological gap. The Kingdom of Jin is gone."

Wanyan Aguda said leisurely: "It's very windy here, don't flick your tongue."

Li Yan said: "You don't believe I have this strength?"

Wanyan Agu said: "No one can say for sure if I haven't tried it, but my Jurchens grew up in a bitter cold place, and my ancestors have suffered from the cold for generations, and now I finally got a place suitable for survival and reproduction, so, No matter who comes to snatch this place, they must kill all my Jurchen men, if you can bear my Jurchen's whole family, you can try it."

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "You think I don't have the guts?"

Wanyan Aguda shook his head, and said: "Who in the world dares to doubt your courage, Li Yan? I believe that you, Li Yan, dare to fight with me to launch a war that will destroy the country... However, if you and I will fight to the death Let alone who wins and who loses, the loser must be the fate of the country being destroyed, and the winner must also suffer a great loss of vitality, and it will be a few years or more. It’s you, the Northeast is cold and bitter, the water turns into ice in winter, and there are tigers and wolves of various tribes looking around, fighting endlessly every year, what’s the use of you coming?”
