Chapter 130 Song-Liao War (28) [20th]

"General!"

Ming Zhen's body fell to the ground and died with his eyes open.

When the Liao soldiers on the city saw that their chief general was dead and had no fighting spirit, they threw down their weapons and fell to the ground.

The general collected the body and buried it for Mingzhen, then opened the city gate and led 10,000 Liao troops out of the city to surrender to Wu Tian.

Wu Tian recovered Bazhou.

Soon, the news of Bazhou being recaptured by the Song and Liao dynasties spread throughout the Song and Liao dynasties.

In the Liao court, the Liao emperor was shocked and stared at the civil and military officials in the hall and said, "I didn't expect that Wu Tian and the Liangshan heroes under him were so powerful. Not only did they destroy the 800,000 army of our Liao Kingdom, but they are now conquering Bazhou.

If he takes down Lincheng and Youzhou City again, then will our Liao capital Yunding City be placed under the command of the Song army?"

"My dear friends, what are you going to do?"

All civil and military officials were terrified. The 800,000 elite Liao army soldiers were destroyed by the Song army. Although the people who are now staying in Liao can barely piece together 300,000 or 500,000, they are all old, weak and remnants who cannot stop the more than 200,000 elite soldiers under Wu Tian’s command!

"Are you not very good at speaking in normal times? Why are you now mute!"

The Liao Emperor was very annoyed.

At this time, the guards came to report: "Emperor, Marshal Yelu Xiu Ge is asking for a visit."

The Liao Emperor didn't want to see him, but the situation was so turbulent that he finally chose to meet him.

"My dear Yelu Xiu Ge, pays homage to the Emperor!"

Yelu Xiuge knelt in front of Emperor Liao.

The Emperor of Liao waved his hand impatiently and said, "Get up, what's wrong with you coming to see me?"

Yelu Xiuge said: "I came this time to understand the dangers of the Liao Kingdom."

The Emperor of Liao was slightly surprised, stared at Yelu Xiu Ge, and smiled and said, "Master Yelu, do you still want to dispatch troops and Wu Tian to fight to the death? Do you know that the Liao Kingdom has no soldiers available now?"

Yelu Xiu Ge shook his head and bowed, "I am not here this time to ask Your Majesty for troops. I don't need to spend one soldier to let Wu Tian retreat and calm this crisis."

After returning to the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Xiuge was ridiculed, especially the Liao emperor, who was very desperate about him and ordered that he would not be allowed to go to court unless there was a big deal.

This great shame made Yelu Xiuge learn from his mistakes and sent people from many parties to investigate the political situation of Wutian and the Song Dynasty.

In the end, he discovered a flaw from it.

When the Emperor of Liao heard Yelu Xiu Ge say that he could force Wu Tian to retreat without sending troops, he was a little disbelief and said with a serious expression: "Yelu Xiu Ge, now is the crisis in the Liao Kingdom's crisis. Don't talk nonsense here, otherwise don't blame me for not missing the old love and punishing you!"

Yelu Xiu Ge looked confident and stared at the Liao Emperor: "Your Majesty, if Yelu Xiu Ge is not sure, how dare you come to meet you?"

The Emperor of Liao pondered for a while and nodded, "Okay, since you said that, let's tell you your plan."

Yelu Xiuge said: "As we all know, Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, relied on the Chenqiao mutiny to seize the world of the Later Zhou Dynasty as a military general.

Therefore, he was afraid that people would repeat his actions to seek the world of Song Dynasty and was very cautious about military generals.

Emperors of the Song Dynasty have inherited this characteristic of Zhao Kuangyin and are very prepared for military generals.

This time, if our army had not been crossed the Yellow River, the Emperor of Song Dynasty would never have activated generals such as Wu Tian."

"Now Wu Tian is strong in his army and has a very high prestige. He also occupies Bazhou and is arrogant.

We just need to send envoys to Tokyo to negotiate, and at the same time, we spread rumors that Wu Tian occupied the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to establish the foundation of the country and then went south to annex the Central Plains.
