Although the Khitan was strong and powerful, it had already caused complaints from the people in the country since its launch. The Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang was only 32 years old and ascended the throne for eight years. This time, he used troops to the Tang Dynasty. He deliberately led the army in person to boost morale and attacked the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

When Le Tianzang brought Du Chongwei's letter of peace into the Khitan military camp, Yelu Deguang was scolding the general who was unfavorable to fight. Le Tianzang stood outside the tent for nearly an hour and entered the tent after Yelu Deguang's reprimand. Yelu Deguang looked at him angrily and asked disdainfully: "When will Du Chongwei surrender?" Le Tianzang replied in a humble and unrestrained manner: "Mr. Du has never mentioned surrender, but there is a letter for the young general to send it here."

Yelu Deguang signaled his soldiers to present the letter. After reading the letter, he tore it off and said angrily: "Du Chongwei's trick of delaying the army can also be used to show his shame! Come on, drag this Southern Dynasty soldier out and behead him."

After hearing this, Le Tianzang did not sniff. Seeing that the Southern Dynasty soldier surrendered, he came to siege one after another. Although Le Tianzang was outnumbered, his face did not show a look of fear. At this time, the Khitan military advisor who stood beside him stood up and stopped him: "Emperor, the two countries are fighting, and the envoy will not be executed."

Yelu Deguang refused to listen to the advice and said, "Behead the envoy to establish his authority! The southerners are extremely cunning, so the military advisor must not mistakenly fall into his entire set." After that, he signaled to drag the soldier left and right to drag him down. At this time, the military advisor knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done." Yelu Deguang was shocked when he saw this. Usually, the military advisor only knelt down to the emperor, but now he has indeed kneeled up, which makes him flattered. Yelu Deguang immediately stepped forward and helped him up and said, "Forget it, let this Southern Dynasty soldier go back to Daizhou."

After the military advisor stood up, Yelu Deguang asked in confusion: "Because the military advisor is so valuable, I will respect you three points when I see you. How could I kneel down for a soldier in the Southern Dynasty today?"

The military advisor was Ji Bayou, the teacher of the Khitan Emperor. He was fifty-three years old. His father and grandfather were originally from Han people. More than fifty years ago, due to avoiding Wang Xianzhi, the Huang Chao rebellion moved to the border of Daizhou. Later, he went to the Khitan to make a living. Although Ji Bayou's mother was a Khitan, the blood of the Han people always flowed with him. Ji Bayou's father was a Khitan collector, responsible for collecting books from various countries. Ji Bayou knew his life experience since he was a child and envied the culture of the Central Plains. He was familiar with poetry and etiquette, and inherited the position of a collector after his father's death. Later, he was fortunate to meet Yelu Deguang, who was still a prince, and won his trust and reuse with his extensive knowledge. Yelu Deguang was the descendant, and Ji Bayou was appointed as the left prime minister. Yelu Deguang conquered the Southern Dynasty this time and specially appointed Ji Bayou as military advisor.

Ji Bayou slowly replied: "Emperor, as the monarch of the Khitan, you should put the interests of the Khitan first. How dare you ask the emperor, are you sure to destroy the Southern Dynasty this time?" Yelu Deguang hesitated for a while and replied: "It may not be easy to conquer the Southern Dynasty, but there is still great hope of breaking Daizhou."

"Emperor, Shu Ji said bluntly that the emperor was preparing to raise troops to establish prestige in the country. Now that we have entered Daizhou for more than a hundred miles, the emperor's civil and military achievements have been fully demonstrated. If we continue to use troops at this time, it will not only be difficult to make any breakthroughs, but may also be attacked from both sides and trap the emperor in a dilemma."

Yelu Deguang became more confused as he heard it, and he hurriedly asked, "Please tell the military advisor clearly."

Seeing that Yelu Deguang was just a martial artist. Although he had been through the battlefield for a long time, he knew nothing about politics, he patiently analyzed: "Emperor, the battle situation in Daizhou is now in a stalemate. General Anxi's troops have entered the city. If we continue to fight, we will never have a chance of winning. At that time, the ministers who did not obey the emperor will make a private statement. If the insidious and treacherous people in the court fan the flames in the ears of the empress dowager, the empress dowager will definitely pass the anger of failure on the emperor's head. Then we will be mute and eat coptis and have no idea. Ji is already over fifty years old this year, and the empress dowager will not do anything to me. But the emperor is different. Everyone in the court knows that the empress dowager's favorite is the third prince. If the emperor is defeated, the consequences may be unimaginable. Since Du Chongwei intends to make peace, why don't we follow the situation and seek benefits from it?"

At that time, Yelu Abaoji, the founding monarch of the Khitan Kingdom, had passed away for several years, but the competition for the Khitan throne was still fierce. Although the prince Dongdan had already fled to the Central Plains, the third prince Yelu Lihu was still eyeing the throne. The Empress Dowager Shuluping favored Yelu Lihu the most and always wanted to find an opportunity to depose Yelu Deguang. In order to establish his prestige, Yelu Deguang repeatedly invaded the Central Plains.

After listening to Ji Bayou's long analysis, Yelu Deguang suddenly realized and stood up to thank him, "Today I heard the military advisor's words, which is better than galloping on the battlefield for ten years. If there were no military advisors, I almost made a big mistake." So he said to Letianzang: "I have agreed to the peace talks. I will send someone to contact Du Chongwei later."

After leaning over and thanking him, Le Tianzang immediately rode back to Daizhou. After hearing his experience in the Khitan military camp, Le Yuan said, "Tianzang, you have made the first contribution to defeating the enemy for our army. I will reward you with one thousand taels of silver." Le Tianzang said, "Brother, I don't want the money. Money is something outside of my body, and it's okay to not want it." Le Yuan smiled slightly and went to the city tower with him to inspect.

That night, Yelu Deguang voluntarily withdrew his troops fifty miles in order to show his sincerity in the peace talks. Le Yuan looked into the distance on the city wall and suddenly remembered that Letianzang mentioned the Khitan military advisor during the day, and sighed that there was a saint who blessed me in the Tang Dynasty. When the enemy completely retreated to the designated place, it was already dark. Le Yuan sent people to inform Du Chongwei in the south of the city. After he learned the news of the enemy's retreat, he laughed three times, and stopped walking in the house, and fell asleep on the bed as soon as he fell to his head.

On the side of the general's mansion in the west of the city, Le Yuan returned to the bedroom, and Le Yiyang was already asleep. When he saw Lin Hanyan writing a letter, he lay quietly on the bed thinking about things. After Lin Hanyan finished writing the letter, he handed it to a soldier in the mansion and asked him to set off overnight to Luzhou to deliver a letter to report his safety, and then lay beside Le Yuan.

Le Yuan turned around and hugged her and said, "My sister Yan, the war has gradually subsided, so we can have a good rest." Lin Hanyan and Le Zhenxian lay in Le Yuan's arms, feeling that she had not relaxed like this for a long time. Lin Hanyan wanted to say something but stopped: "Lelang, you must take good care of your health..." Le Yuan thought she had a difficult time, so she did not ask.

The next morning, Lin Hanyan suddenly felt dizzy when she got up. Le Yuan quickly stepped forward to support her, and then told the man to go and invite the doctor from the military camp to the mansion. Seeing that he was so nervous, Lin Hanyan smiled and said, "It's okay, maybe it's because he is not accustomed to the local conditions."
