The situation on the front line of Fengzhou was too bad. Yelu Zongzhen finally gathered more than 360,000 people in Yunzhou, went north and stopped when he arrived at Baishui. After discussing with the ministers, he finally decided to send Yelu Renxian and Liu Liufu to meet Xu Ping.

According to the custom of the aftermath alliance, border disputes should be negotiated first by the two countries' pacification envoys. If they cannot be dealt with, they will be reported to the courts of the two countries respectively. The Song Dynasty used troops in the northwest, and the Khitan's pacification envoys went to find the Hedong Road pacification envoys. As a result, the matter was not under the jurisdiction of Hedong Road, and they did not give them a way to negotiate directly with the court. Helplessly, the Khitan had to come to the Longyou Protectorate in the end.

From Baishuili to Fengzhou for more than 300 miles, Yelu Renxian and Liu Liufu drove fast horses and arrived in Fengzhou City three days later.

The more than 300 miles were all mountain roads, and there was an endless grassland outside Fengzhou City. Seeing that the city gate was closed and no one was seen outside the city, Yelu Renxian said to Liu Liufu: "Recruiting the capital supervisor Luohannu repeatedly reported heavy troops to siege the city of Song State. Where can there be a shadow of a large army here? If it weren't for the city heading or the banner of the dynasty, I almost thought that Fengzhou City had fallen!"

"I'll ask again and again when I enter the city, the Song army may have retreated!" Liu Liufu replied, and ordered someone to report.

Not long after, Luohannu took the city officials, lowered the suspension bridge, opened the city gate and came out.

After the ceremony, Yelu Ren pointed to the empty city outside and said to Luohannu: "You reported three times a day, saying that Fengzhou City was surrounded by Song's army. There was not even a ghost outside the city. Where is the army?!"

Luo Hannu crossed his hands: "King, it's not that the last general falsely reported military information, but that the Song army did not approach the besieged city. They all set up camps one or two hundred miles away, and they didn't know what they mean. Every day, there will be soldiers and horses to detect the sects and attack, and the Song army is at the foot of the mountain over there!"

Yelu Renxian and Liu Liufu turned around and saw dozens of cavalry at the foot of the mountain in the northwest, watching here.

Recognizing it as Song Jun's clothing, Yelu Renxian was furious: "If you have such a few birds, you dare to come to the city! The governor quickly ordered a thousand troops to catch them all and interrogate them carefully!"

Luo Hannu smiled bitterly: "I'm not hiding the king. Now Fengzhou City is full of plans, and there is no one out of a thousand people. Moreover, these people come and go like flying, and if one is not good, they will be ambushed. A month ago, I sent five hundred people to chase him, but no one came back. There were more than one hundred thousand Dangxiang troops scattered dozens of miles east, and they were dedicated to chopping our heads for money."

Liu Liufu frowned: "If you can't even place one thousand men and horses, will Fengzhou become an empty city? If you leave the empty city, you will not take it, and hundreds of thousands of troops will be stationed in this area. What does the Song army want?"

Luohannu just shook his head: "I can't guess what the Song army is thinking. Who knows what they are going to do? I once sent an envoy to go there, but the class of the last general was too low and he didn't even let the camp gate in, so he sent the envoy back."

On the way, the Fengzhou that Yelu Renxian and Liu Liufu imagined should have been surrounded by the Song army. Luo Hannu led the remaining troops to defend the city with Jianjian. Unexpectedly, it was not the case when he came. The Song army was far away and did not attack the city at all.

After thinking for a while, Yelu Renxian said: "It is a monster when it happens. If the Song army acts like this, they will have some plans. It is still early, so I will take the troops from the headquarters to the east to see how they stationed, so I have a clear idea in my heart."

The Luohannu was so scared that he shivered and hurriedly reached out to hold Yelu Renxian's horse: "King, no, no! There are tens of thousands of Dangxiang troops in the east of the city. No matter how good or bad you are, as long as you see the clothes of this dynasty, you will chase them! Now within a radius of one or two hundred miles, except for the army of the two countries, there is no one left. As long as the king is ten miles away from the city, he will definitely go without returning!"

Liu Liufu saw that the incident was unusual and said to Yelu Renxian: "The enemy's situation is unclear now, so don't act rashly. Let's go to the city with the governor first, ask about the situation in this area, and then make a decision."

The Luohannu had already reported that the Dangxiang people attacked the Khitan, and Xiao Puda and Zhang Fonu both died at their hands. Yelu Zongzhen and Liu Liufu were not surprised that there was a Dangxiang army here, but they did not expect it to be so vicious. It seems that the Song army did not show much hostility. Instead, the Dangxiang people became overlords in this area, and they were quite willing to kill everyone they saw.

Yelu Renxian said angrily: "These Dangxiang barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood dare to be so presumptuous! When the army of this dynasty comes, they will definitely kill them without leaving any armor! The slaves of the devastated country dare to come to us to act wildly!"

"Oh, there is no way. What can we do if there are hundreds of thousands of Song troops behind them?" Luo Hannu said, and asked Yelu Renxian and Liu Liufu into the city to welcome the Zhaodansi Yamen to rest.

A few miles away from the city, Liu Hu held up a telescope and saw Yelu Renxian and Liu Liufu being welcomed into the city, and said, "Two birds came, with two or three thousand people. Look, the flags are not ordinary people. Could it be reinforcements sent by the Khitan? What can you do if you can do such a small number of people? I brought the headquarters and swallowed them in one bite!"

After saying that, he thought about it and called a personal soldier to come and asked him to report to Liu Jianji. Because of the great military situation, he went directly to see Xu Ping. After waiting for nearly two months, he finally met the Khitan reinforcements, but there were too few people coming.

Yelu Renxian and Liu Liufu changed into casual clothes, and the Luohannu set up a banquet in the back yamen to welcome them.

Looking at the five or six middle and lower-level generals present, Yelu Renxian frowned and said, "There are only these people left in such a huge recruitment department?"

"There are only so many. The recruits and Xiangwen led the army to pursue the defected Qu Lie, who was colliding with the Cheng Kesheng army of the Dangxiang army, was attacked at night, and were completely destroyed in one battle. Unfortunately, the entire army was nearly 10,000, and none of them survived."

The Arhat Slave was like an old farmer telling Ruyan's past, without joy or sorrow, and accepted his fate. If it weren't for his previous encounter, Yelu Zongzhen and Liu Liufu would not have believed that this was the Arhat Slave, who was fierce and brave, had been challenged by countless battle formations.

What is there? In front of hundreds of thousands of troops, without any flaws, the Luohannu felt that he was just a mouse who was just a cat to play with, and there was no way to do it. He had ambitions and corners cleanly.

After drinking a tour of wine, Yelu Ren first asked about the war in the past few months. The Khitan official document system was underdeveloped and there were no talents in this area in the army. Although the Luohannu had reported it several times, it was still unclear what the specific one had passed by the Khitan royal court.

Hearing Qu Lie defected, Xiao Puda and Zhang Fonu led the army to pursue him, and were hit by tens of thousands of people on the road, and were completely destroyed in one battle. Yelu Renxian angrily clenched his fists: "In this way, it is the Dangxiang army entering our country and killing our general?! Now the Dangxiang entire territory is owned by the State of Song, and they cannot escape this matter! This is a fall in love!"

Luo Hannu said, "The first war was in the two zodiac lands. It was really hard to tell who was right or wrong. After that, the Dangxiang army rushed straight to Dongshengzhou and Yunneizhou as if crazy. Wherever they passed, they were covered with dust and killed into white land. According to those who fled back, the Dangxiang army said that the lands of these states were their tribes. Qu Lie and others could not bear the tyrant's tyranny, so they fled. They came here to kill people and avenge them. They broke the city and killed people, and the Song army followed them. Now, there is no one in the east of Fengzhou for more than 300 miles. The original tribe was either slaughtered or fled to the north of Yinshan."

After hearing this, Liu Liufu put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Luo Hannu: "Dujian means that the Song army has never participated in the war. All the places occupied were captured by the Dangxiang Army and abandoned them into empty cities?"

"The bachelor is right. I have thought about this matter. It was obviously the Song army's plan to drive tigers and wolfs. They used the Dangxiang army as the front drive, and they picked up the territory behind for nothing. This time, it was equivalent to Dangxiang's troops coming from all over the country, and the Song army supplied food and grass, which was extremely difficult."

"Turn tigers and swallowing wolfs, the Song army is doing a good job!" Yelu Renxian clenched his fists and gritted his teeth with hatred. "Even if this dynasty is a wolf, can Dangxiang Barbarians be a big insect? Hou Dajun comes and let them see the group of wolfs and tigers!"

When Xu Ping decided on this plan, he thought of the novels he read in his previous life. The Khitans used wolves as totems and would stab a wolf in their chests. There was such a custom, and this strategy matched the truth, but the Dangxiang people were not very matched by tigers. In fact, the Khitans were not that boring, and they did not use wolves as totems. Most of their rituals respected the customs of the Han Dynasty, mainly worshiping the sun and worshiping the mountains, but the mountain worshiping was not just the five mountains of the Central Plains. Maintaining such a large country, the primitive customs of the Khitan itself had long been faded, not to mention that there was no such thing as offering sacrifices to wolves in their primitive customs.

Therefore, the Arhat Slave would openly say the four words "Turn away the tiger and swallow the wolf", and Yelu Ren would not have too many associations.

Liu Liufu sighed: "King, this matter is not just about driving a tiger or swallowing a wolf. Thinking of this way, we will fall into a bad situation."

Yelu Renxian was shocked and bowed: "The bachelor's knowledge is lofty, please give me some advice!"

"Turning tigers and swallowing wolves is one, but this is not the main purpose of the Song army. They asked the Dangxiang people to be the front-runners and conquered the cities and lands just to avenge their tribes, and were dissatisfied with the dynasty's governance. These excuses are of course not worth refuting. A few months ago, the emperor issued an edict to comfort the nearby tribes. However, in this way, the Dangxiang army was fighting against the dynasty. The Song army did not attack the prefectures and counties of the dynasty, but occupied white land. When they climbed up, they would say that they did not bear the alliance."

After hearing Liu Liufu's words, Luo Hannu raised his head blankly: "It has occupied our states and killed countless people, but has not yet committed a alliance? Bachelor, why does this still exist in the world?"

Liu Liufu pointed to his mouth: "A person with red mouth and white teeth can be judged by others who are good at speaking and discerning. What's more, the Song army made sufficient preparations this time, but it's not unreasonable. I'm afraid it's extremely difficult to argue with them this time!"

No one will be destroyed for a moment, so we can only negotiate with our mouths. Even if it is a country, life will always go on. This time we were ordered to meet Xu Ping. Now it seems that for Yelu Zongzhen and Liu Menfu, things are even more difficult than what we thought before we set out.
