The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 516
Guo Yaoshi took a deep look at Xin Xingzong, and replied, "I will obey the commander in everything, and I will do as the commander orders."

Xin Xingzong's heart was blocked, and he didn't know how to reply for a moment.

The reason why he wanted to discuss with Guo Yaoshi actually had two purposes.First, the two are now tied to the same rope as grasshoppers, so it is not easy to fight openly and secretly.Second, he wanted to let Guo Yaoshi leave the Changsheng Army to break through by showing weakness.

What Xin Xingzong didn't expect was that this Guo Yaoshi was not easy to get along with, and kicked back the problem without making a fuss. Seeing that he was not fooled, Xin Xingzong simply stated what was in his heart.

"Since General Guo agrees with this statement, then I will have to work!"

Guo Yaoshi's complexion changed slightly, and he smiled and said, "What does the commander mean, please forgive me for not understanding."

Xin Xingzong didn't answer this, but put his hand on the knife on his waist. At the same time, following his movements, the soldiers who had been ordered in advance slowly surrounded him.

Guo Yaoshi's face became more and more ugly, and he regretted entrusting Da to come to see Xin Xingzong in his heart. He really didn't expect that even in such a situation, this guy didn't want to think about how to get through the difficulties, but had to plot against himself.

In this situation, he couldn't help doubting the correctness of his refuge in Da Song, and a thought came to his mind.

"Does your lord have to do everything right?"

Faced with Guo Yaoshi's questioning, Xin Xingzong sneered, and said, "It's not that the commander-in-chief didn't give the general face, but that General Guo is too ungrateful. We only have more than [-] people left, and most of them are still here." It is your ever-victorious army, and it is reasonable and reasonable for your people to leave the queen, but if General Guo wants to pretend to be stupid, then I can only feel sorry for him."

Guo Yaoshi took a deep breath, and then looked at the surrounding soldiers. Knowing that the people are swordsmen and I am fish, he said softly, "It is the general who did not understand the deep meaning of the commander, so I will arrange troops to stop the enemy."

As he spoke, he was about to turn around and leave, but his way was still blocked, and then he heard Xin Xingzong say again,

"Wait a minute, General Guo, just wait."

"What advice does the commander-in-chief have?"

"I don't dare to give advice. I want to ask General Guo to stay here and give orders. I wonder if it is possible?"

Guo Yaoshi tightly clenched his fists, suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then don't disturb me."

"It's easy to say, easy to say! Come on, hurry up and inform General Guo's generals to come to discuss matters."

In this way, under Xin Xingzong's manipulation, Guo Yaoshi reluctantly left [-] troops to stop the enemy, while he was coerced by Xin Xingzong and fled towards Gubeikou.

And Xin Xingzong was not happy for a long time. When he tried his best to get rid of the pursuers and fled to the Gubeikou pass, he saw a scene that made his eyes tear. It is a Liao army banner.

Before Xin Xingzong and his party figured out the situation, they heard a bang, and then saw countless soldiers of the Liao army emerging from behind the wall, followed by countless arrows raining down from a high place, causing great harm to the Song army in Guanxia. caused a great deal of damage.

To make matters worse, there was a burst of muffled thunder from the distant sky at this time, and a Liao army cavalry lined up in a human wall, rushing forward with overwhelming momentum.

At this time, the Song army was exhausted, let alone fighting, and could not even escape. In the end, only Xin Xingzong took more than ten personal guards and fled to the east. The rest, including Guo Yaoshi, were all captured by Yelu Dashi. All in one catch.

After reuniting with Xiao Qian, the two stood on the tower and looked at the prisoners of the Song army below. Yelu Dashi frowned and said, "Our army captured more than [-] Song soldiers in this battle. How should we deal with so many people?"

Xiao Qian also had a headache and said, "Yeah, these people will only waste food if they keep them, and they have to separate troops to guard them, why not..."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of scratching his neck, the meaning of which was obvious.

Yelu Dashi shook his head and said, "No, these people can't be killed, not to mention the ominousness of killing prisoners, once they are really killed, then we will have a deadly enmity with the Song people, and I'm afraid we will never die in the future."

Xiao Qian was stunned, and said in a puzzled way, "We have offended Nan Chao quite badly this time, is there still room for change?"

Yelu Dashi did not answer this question, but instead asked, "Are you sure you can hold Nanjing and other places?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Qian replied truthfully, "If it's just Song Guo, then I'm still [-]% sure, but if Jin Guo is included, it's hard to say."

What Xiao Qian said is correct, but he and Yelu Dashi are very clear that with Xiao Qian's current strength, it is extremely difficult to deal with the Song Dynasty's revenge. If Jin Guo is added, there is absolutely no possibility of confrontation .

"Brother Xiao, don't forget that besides the Song and Jin countries, there is also Mu Xu who is watching. This person may not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Xiao Qian scratched his head and said in frustration, "Then according to Lin Ya's opinion, what should I do? You can't tell me to return the Nanjing Road to the Song Dynasty?"

Yelu Dashi gave his suggestion, "For now, there are only two options. Either give up the hot potato of Nanjing Road, or find a way to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty."

"Lin Ya might as well talk about how to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty."

He was naturally reluctant to let Xiao Qian give up his hard-earned territory like this, so he chose the second suggestion without even thinking about it.

Yelu Dashi sighed inwardly, he just said that, maybe he was testing Xiao Qian, to see if he was willing to make a new start with him, but he was disappointed in the end.

"If you want to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, you can only use these prisoners of war as a stepping stone, and add the conditions of becoming a minister. Maybe you can try."

Xiao Qian slapped the wall ruthlessly, and said unwillingly, "I think about how powerful Daliao was in the past, but I don't want to be reduced to such a field today, it's really frustrating."

Yelu Dashi also sighed, "It's God's will, what can I say!"

After being silent for a while, Xiao Qian turned his head to stare at Yelu Dashi, and extended an invitation, "Lin Yayou might as well stay and help me. Let's assist Yeluhong, the son of King Yan. Maybe there will be a day to recover Daliao."

Looking at Xiao Qian's sincere gaze, Yelu Dashi was about to agree, but when he thought of the enemy he was about to face, he still refused cruelly,

"Brother Xiao, the great stone's heart to revive the Liao Dynasty is by no means inferior to yours, but Nanjing Road has become a dead end. Staying here means dealing with the three-sided attack from the Jin people in the north, the Song people in the south, and the Mu Xu in the west. It is impossible at all. grow.

If you really want to, you might as well bring Yan Wang's family and jump out of this barrier with me. How about we find another way out? "

Xiao Qian's eyes widened, and he didn't dare to answer, "Lin Ya, are you planning to break away from Yelu Yanxi, the foolish king?"

Speaking of this, Yelu Dashi didn't bother to hide any more, and simply revealed his plan.

After hearing this, Xiao Qian pondered for a long time, and then smiled wryly, "Lin Ya's idea is really too shocking, so please forgive me for not being able to follow."

"Brother Xiao, you'd better think again, if Song Guo does not agree to your request for peace, staying here will surely lead to death!"

"Lin Yaxiu has to persuade me again, I was born and raised here, even if I die, I will die on this land."

Seeing Xiao Qian being so resolute, Yelu Dashi couldn't persuade him anymore, so he said, "Forget it, since brother has made up his mind, I have nothing to say. In order to make brother more confident in negotiating peace with the Song Dynasty, I would like to send the captured Song Jun will be entrusted to you to help you."

"Then thank Lin Ya for your kindness, and wish Lin Ya all wishes come true, and revive my Daliao prestige in the future!" Xiao Qian bowed his hands three times, saying so.

Yelu Dashi also saluted back, and was about to say something more, but heard a rush of footsteps behind him, turned his head to look, but saw a messenger running over in a hurry, and walked away from him,

"Your Majesty, there is news from Juyongguan that General Zhang Jue is one step late, and that place has been captured by Mu Xu of Yunzhou."

Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi looked at each other and thought at the same time, "This guy really made a move."

After carefully questioning the messenger, the two of them found out that when Xiao Qian and the others captured Yanjing, Mu Xu sent troops from Guizhou and captured Juyongguan with lightning speed, almost effortlessly.

After listening to the messenger's words, Yelu Dashi said with emotion, "Well, from this incident, it can be seen that Mu Xu has been coveting the Nanjing Road for a long time, but he was scruples about Song's reaction before, so he forbears it until now."

Xiao Qian said angrily, "I didn't expect to make a wedding dress for this guy, I'm so angry!"

After finishing speaking, he asked the messenger again, "What does General Zhang say, is there a possibility of regaining Juyongguan?"

The messenger replied, "General Zhang replied that the defense of Juyongguan is extremely tight. Judging from the commander-in-chief flag of the city, it is the Dingxiang Jiedu envoy Mu Xu who personally leads the troops. It is probably impossible to recapture there."

When Xiao Qian wanted to ask again, Yelu Dashi Yuezu said in his place, "You can go back to General Zhang and let him wait and see what happens. If Mu Xu has no intention of going south to attack Yanjing, just stand still and don't provoke him at will. .”

Seeing that Xiao Qian didn't speak, the messenger complied, and hurried to deliver the order.

After the messenger left, Xiao Qian said, "What does Lin Ya mean by this? The location of Juyongguan is so dangerous. If it is in Mu Xu's hands, Yanjing will never have peace."

Yelu Dashi replied, "Of course my younger brother knows this, but brother is currently surrounded by enemies on three sides, it would be unwise for him to clash with Mu Xu again!

And brother, have you ever thought that if you fight Mu Xu, then the Song Kingdom will definitely take the opportunity to march north, how will you treat then? "

Xiao Qian was startled, he quickly thanked Yelu Dashi for his reminder, and then asked, "Even if I don't respond, what if Mu Xuruo goes south?"

Yelu Dashi smiled and said, "Regarding this point, brother, you can rest assured that Mu Xu will never send troops to fight for Yanjing at this time."

"Appreciate further details!"

"This deduction is very simple. Brother, let's think about it carefully. Mu Xu was able to capture Juyongguan so quickly, so it can be seen that he knows all about the changes that happened in Yandi. Brother, do you think so?"

After Xiao Qian nodded, Yelu Dashi went on to say, "According to common sense, Mu Xu has the ability to take down Juyongguan in this empty space, which proves that he is fully capable of taking Yanjing and other places while taking advantage of the chaos, but he didn't do that." Do.

It can be seen from this that Mu Xu must have felt that the time was not ripe. He was afraid that after taking Yanjing from his brother, Song Guo would ask for it, so he deliberately sat and watched the chaos in Yandi. "

Xiao Qian suddenly realized, "So that's the case. If you say it this way, this fellow should be waiting for Song to fail again and have nothing to do with Yan, before he comes out to pick peaches."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qian laughed at himself, "Even I don't know if I can save the Nanjing Road from Song Guo, but I don't want Mu Xu to have such confidence in Xiao.

That's okay, since he won't send troops right now, then I will live with him in peace, and when I send someone back from the Song Dynasty, I will decide the next step according to the situation. "

Yelu Dashi also agreed with Xiao Qian's words, and he immediately bid farewell, and asked Xiao Qian to send a team to go with him to hand over the prisoners of war of the Song army.

Arriving at the gate of Gubeikou Fortress, before leaving, Yelu Dashi hesitated for a moment, and suggested to Xiao Qian, "Brother Xiao, if you can't do something, you should keep your useful body, and you must not burn jade and stone together."

Xiao Qian replied with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother, at worst, I will really vote for the Song Kingdom."

Unexpectedly, Yelu Dashi said, "No, my brother thinks that the day when the mountains and rivers are really exhausted, brother may go to vote for Mu Xu."

Xiao Qian asked suspiciously, "Brother, why do you say this? Then Mu Xu is also a Song official. Instead of surrendering to him, why not surrender directly to the Song State?"

"Brother doesn't know, the former little brother had some contact with Na Mu Xu, this man is far-sighted, he is not a generation who has lived under others for a long time, he will definitely rebel against the Song Dynasty in the future.

To be honest, my younger brother is really not optimistic about Song Guo. If we really want to compare the two, Song Guo is like our Daliao in the past, while Mu Xu is Jin Guo. "

After hearing this, Xiao Qian thought about it for a while, and found that it really seemed to be the case, and to some extent, Mu Xu had a much stronger family background than Wanyan Aguda when Fang started his career.

"Remember it for me, brother, let's go. I will bid you farewell today. I don't know if there will be a time to see you again in the future. I hope you will cherish it."

"Brother Xiao, stay a step. If everything goes well with Dashi, we will raise an army in the future and come east to restore our great Liaojiang Mountains. When the time comes, I will be drunk with you!"

After speaking, Yelu Dashi bowed to Xiao Qian, then got on his horse and ran away.

But he said that after Yelu Dashi returned to the north, he first handed over the captives under his hands to Xiao Ping's subordinates to take them away, and then he led the army west, and at the same time sent scouts to investigate the movements of Xiao Ping's army.

When the army was less than [-] miles away from Jiashan, the scouts sent back information and brought a very bad news, saying that Xiao Ping accidentally fell into the enemy's scheme during the process of delaying the Jin army, and now The army was besieged forty miles north of Jiashan.

After hearing that the Jin army surrounded Xiao Ping's troops but did not attack them, Yelu Dashi saw at a glance that the Jin men were trying to encircle a spot to help them, and wanted to lure him to rescue them, and then annihilate them at the same time.

Yelu Dashi had originally planned to set up another sect, and now that he got this information, his thoughts became even more firm.

So he made a decisive decision, ignored the Jin army, and went directly to the rear garrison, took all the tribes, livestock and supplies there, and headed for the distant Western Regions.
