On the second day, Yelu Hongji ordered people to inform the governors of Changqing County and told them that Xiao Ge had surrendered to the Song Dynasty and Yelu Chongyuan was already a prisoner of the Song Dynasty and ordered them to surrender immediately. As a result, the generals guarding the city did not believe it at all. They struggled for two days before they believed in surrender.

After passing Changqing County, there were not many twists and turns in Datong Prefecture. The matter in Shuozhou in the south had already spread here, and it was meaningless to continue to fight. The defending general surrendered directly. In order to calm the people, Yelu Hongji did not kill and slap, but sent troops to occupy the surroundings.

On the fifth day, the surrounding area was pacified, and Yelu Xiantong and Wu Zhan left the capital and headed towards Shuozhou to the south.

After passing Heyin County, there was no one else on the road, and the road seemed particularly quiet. Even in the forest on the side of the road, the beasts and birds seemed to have disappeared without any movement, which made people feel panicked.

Yelu Xiantong said to Wu Zhan beside him: "I heard that the Song army has concentrated its forces in the Mayi area and cleared all the surrounding households. It seems that this is true. Judging from this situation, isn't it really going to fight with this dynasty?"

Wu Zhan said: "It shouldn't be. The Song army was 200,000 on Hequ Road and 100,000 on Hedong Road. Even if all of them were transferred to Shuozhou, it would not be enough to destroy our 400,000 army. Not to mention that the Datong Prefecture defenders surrendered, and there were 200,000 people from Chongyuan out of thin air. The 600,000 army concentrated in the small land of Datong Prefecture. The Song people would dare to fight!"

Yelu Xiantong sighed: "From the terrain here, if the Song people just wanted to guard it, it would be difficult for them to do anything to the 600,000 people."

Wu Zhan nodded without saying a word. The two mountains here in Mayi are only forty miles wide, and there is a gray river flowing by. The Song army wants to defend it, and it is really difficult for the Khitan to attack. The forty miles front is Mayi City on one side and Yanmen Pass on the other. The 600,000 army is useless.

When I arrived at Mayi, I saw that there were Song army camps around me. On one side, it stretched to the mountain and on the other side, it reached Huihe. On the other side, there were Song army camps opposite Huihe. I don’t know where it extended.

Yelu Xiantong said: "It's a pity, the Song army really wants to occupy Shuozhou City!"

The Song army's detective cavalry had already discovered Yelu Xiantong and his party. As soon as they arrived, they saw Jia Kui and his generals greeting him.

After coming forward to salute, Jia Kui said, "Follow your commands, you should be envoys from the North. I wonder who came here, what are the important things?"

Yelu Fairy Tong stepped forward and bowed: "Yelu Fairy Tong, the Privy Councilor of the North, is Wu Zhan, the governor of the country. He was the chief and deputy envoy and was ordered by the emperor to go to the southern country. He heard that his country's traitor Yelu Chongyuan was held hostage by his subordinate Xiao Ge and surrendered to the southern country, so he came to inquire."

Jia Kui said: "I am a military general, but I can't answer the king."

Yelu Xiantong bowed: "This matter should be negotiated with the pacification envoy of your country. Shuozhou is close to Hedong Road, and it should be managed by the pacification envoy of Hedong Road. The Taiwei can let us go, and we will go to Bingzhou to meet Pang Xianggong."

Guo Kui smiled and said, "But it was a coincidence that Xianggong Pang was in Shuozhou City, so the two of them didn't have to run that far."

Yelu Xiantong and Wu Zhan looked at each other and said, "This is the best. Please send us to Shuozhou."

"You two will follow me back to the camp. After resting, I will send someone to see you off." After saying that, Jia Kui bowed and invited them to Mayi County.

After entering the county town, Jia Kui held a banquet to welcome the two of them. Jia Kui was not sure about the purpose of the relationship between the two countries. He only said that he was a military general and was ordered to dispatch troops. Their only asked about the two countries' relations.

On the second day, Jia Kui sent a guard to protect Yelu Xiantong and Wu Zhan and headed towards Shuozhou. The two of them looked at each other on the way, not knowing what they should say. Jia Kui was obviously the commander of the Mayi area, holding tens of thousands of troops in his hand, and he didn't know anything about it when talking. He had never encountered such a thing before.

Now the command of the Song Dynasty army has been gradually received by the Privy Council and the General's power, and the general's power has become smaller. Of course, Jia Kui knows everything he should know, but he does not have the power to negotiate with the Khitan envoys. Those powers are indeed in the hands of Pang Ji now.

After a day of travel, it was almost evening when I arrived outside Shuozhou City. Pang Ji had already received the news and welcomed him outside the city. He arranged Yelu Xiantong and Wu Zhan in the inn. In the evening, Pang Ji held a banquet to welcome the two of them.

Sitting in the back of the inn, several people drank tea and waited for the banquet outside to prepare. Yelu Xiantong couldn't help but ask, "My grandpa, I heard that it was the rebel thief Xiao Ge Xiancheng, and your country occupied Shuozhou. I wonder where the rebel thief is? How should your country deal with this matter?"

Pang Ji said: "When Xiao Ge Xiancheng was in the east of Xiahe, he naturally should bring a large army to come. As for what happens in the future, it depends on the arrangements of the court."

Wu Zhan bowed: "I don't know where the traitor Chongyuan and Xiao Ge are? These two are serious offenders in their own country. I hope they will be sent to us by the public-"

Pang Ji laughed after hearing this: "My grandpa, Xiao Ge is a hero of Xiancheng. This dynasty should treat him well. How can I hand it over to you?"

Yelu Xiantong heard this and said, "Shuozhou is Shuozhou in his country. How can two traitors privately teach each other!"

Pang Ji shook his head: "King, before that, Chongyuan was competing for the position of emperor with Hong Ji and was supported by the Empress Dowager. The area of ​​Datong Prefecture is naturally Chongyuan's territory. He has no way to go, so what's wrong with offering the city to join our dynasty?"

Yelu Xiantong said seriously: "Chongyuan has established himself as the emperor, and he is fighting for the dynasty of the dynasty, and everyone should be punished! Why is the place under his rule? Now that the emperor has occupied Xijing and destroyed the Chongyuan rebel party, all places should be returned!"

Pang Ji said slowly, "What you Khitan thinks has nothing to do with this dynasty. I only know that this city was offered by Chongyuan and Xiao Ge, and has nothing to do with anything else. In the future, I will follow the orders of the Privy Council. For the two envoys, they can only go to the capital to discuss this matter with the Privy Council."

When Wu Zhan saw Pang Ji's refusal, he said angrily: "If Chongyuan causes rebellion, it is a misfortune for this dynasty. Can your country be at ease if you take over my land at this time? The country of brothers in the two countries, where are there such brothers in the world!"

Pang Ji said slowly: "The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were abandoned by the rebel Shi Jingtang, nor were they Khitan land. If you follow the words of your husband, you should have returned these places to the Central Plains long ago. How could you occupy them and not return them?"

Wu Zhan made a speech for a moment, but I don’t know how to answer. Yanyun’s Sixteen Prefectures are the homeland of the Central Plains, and were presented to the Khitan by Shi Jingtang, which became the starting base for the Khitan to interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains. Of course, the Khitan was able to occupy these sixteen prefectures by their own strength, otherwise they would have been taken back by the Central Plains dynasty long ago.

However, at this time, both countries did not want to fight, so they each found reasons to convince each other. After all, they could not escape Shi Jingtang offered the Sixteen Prefectures to the Khitan. With this reason, the Song army occupied an invincible place. After all, this was Xiao Ge Xiancheng, not the Song Dynasty forcing him to seize. As long as he had this title, the Song Dynasty would not be afraid of quarrel with the Khitan. If Yelu Hongji wins, it can be said that Yelu Chongyuan is a traitor and a rebel party, and the Song Dynasty can refuse to recognize it. Hongji, who had just unified the Khitan, still needs the recognition of the Song Dynasty.
