Xiao Yanyan indeed launched a surrender attack against Tao Shang's subordinates, and this person was his father-in-law Zhang Fei.

She really knows how to choose people.

The Taoist merchant calmly said nothing, his face darkened, pretending to be angry, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhang Yide, since Xiao Yanyan wrote a book of inducing surrender to you, why didn't you report it early?"

Pop.

Zhang Fei bent his legs and knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and said with great guilt: "I know the crime, but I don't know why. At that time, I was obsessed with it and did not report this matter to Your Majesty. I know the crime, so I ask Your Majesty to punish you."

The Tao merchant didn't say anything, and directly scanned Zhang Fei's loyalty first, and it was indeed within his range of loyalty.

It seems that the system elves are right. Xiao Yanyan's talent for enemy rebellion is indeed just a confusing spirit for a while and cannot truly reduce loyalty.

"Okay, I know you're unintentional. Get up." Tao Shang whipped his hand generously. He knew that Zhang Fei was not really betrayal, so he wouldn't be too guilty.

"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Fei then breathed a sigh of relief. When he stood up, a layer of cold sweat had already soaked his forehead.

The Taoist merchant ordered Zhang Fei to see him again, and gave him a few glasses of wine to suppress his shock, which made him calm down.

After a while, Tao Shang asked again: "Yide, let's talk, what did Xiao Yanyan tell you in the letter?"

Zhang Fei did not dare to hide it anymore and said truthfully: "Report to Your Majesty, Xiao Yanyan just wanted me to set fire in the inner camp tonight to disrupt the morale of the army. Yelu Abao would lead the Liao army to take the opportunity to attack from the outside, cooperate with the inside and the outside, and defeat our army in one fell swoop."

As expected...

Xiao Yanyan's move was also very sinister, and he was not afraid of the enemy's attack at night. With the elite of the Great Wei soldiers and the absolute advantage in quantity, he was enough to withstand Yelu Abaoji's night attack.

But during this night attack, if a fire suddenly caught in the camp and Zhang Fei led his troops to rebel, the impact on the morale of the soldiers would be too great, and it would be impossible for the morale of the soldiers to collapse.

"This Xiao Yanyan is indeed Yelu Abaoji's killer weapon. Fortunately, I have Li Xiuning and have awakened my talent for truth, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable..."

Tao Shang sighed for a moment and asked again: "How did you reply to Yide?"

"Report to Your Majesty, when I was still struggling in the tent, my Majesty came here. Before I could reply to Xiao Yanyan." Zhang Fei did not dare to lie, and expressed his true mood at that time tremblingly.

It is conceivable that if the Tao merchant had not summoned him, Zhang Fei would have happily agreed to Xiao Yanyan and was already secretly preparing to create chaos in the camp.

Tao Shang pondered for a moment, raised a sarcastic sneer on the corner of his mouth, and yelled: "Since that's the case, then I will give Xiao Yanyan a trick. Yide, just promise her."

"Yes, I obey the order."

At that moment, the Taoist merchant gave Zhang Fei a few more words and asked him to act according to his plan.

Zhang Fei received the order and retreated. In the tent, only Tao Shang and Li Xiuning were left.

"Xiu Ning, you are really my lucky star. Thanks to you, otherwise the consequences tonight would be unimaginable. Come on, I would like to thank you for this cup."

The Taoist merchant smiled, walked up with a glass of wine, and personally toasted Li Xiuning with a glass of wine.

"Your Majesty is so serious. This is Xiuning's duty." Li Xiuning looked flattered. Unexpectedly, the Taoist merchant would toast her in person and quickly stood up to receive the wine.

However, she was too excited and became so anxious that she did not receive the wine glass with both hands, but instead hit the pottery's hand, splashing the wine in the wine glass all over the pottery.

"Your Majesty calmed down, Xiuning did not intentionally offend him, Your Majesty calmed down." Li Xiuning hurriedly accused of guilt.

How could Wei Shang mind such a trivial matter? While reaching out to dust the water from his clothes, he smiled and said, "It's okay if you're not careful, it's okay."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Xiuning will clean it up." Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief, and without thinking too much, he hurriedly squatted down, squatted in front of the pottery's legs, and used his sleeves to wipe the pottery's wine on it.

She was also panicked for a moment and was only concerned about applying wine stains to the pottery merchant. She had no idea how indecent she was squatting in front of the pottery merchant's legs in this posture.

Those plain hands rubbed through the potter's clothes, and the potter's heart suddenly became rippling and his blood rushed.

"Your Majesty, is this military discussion still open?"

At this moment, an impatient voice sounded, and Yuchi Gong, who was waiting outside, broke in by himself.

Yuchi Gong was stunned.

Standing in his position and at the angle, he saw the emperor standing there with his waist on his back, while Li Xiuning squatted in front of the emperor, facing the emperor's lower abdomen, and his hands were still moving on the emperor's pants...

What the emperor is doing with these Miss Li, isn’t it obvious?

"Hei Charcoal Head, why did you break in? Are you looking for a fight?" Tao Shang glared at him and shouted.

Yuchi Gong came to his senses and suddenly turned red and said with awkward smile: "I am wrong. I have seen nothing. I have not seen anything. Your Majesty continues, continues, I will take my leave..."

As he said that, Yuchi Gong quickly put down the curtain, turned his head and left.

Li Xiuning heard the voice and turned around. He saw Yuchi Gong's meaningful smile. He immediately understood what he was saying.

In an instant, a redness surged on Li Xiuning's face and dizzy stood up. He quickly took a few steps back and kept a distance from the Tao merchant.

Obviously, she also reacted, realizing that her posture was indecent just now, and misunderstood the black charcoal head, and thought she was squatting on the ground and giving the emperor...

"Really, how could I be so stupid, and I did such an indecent move, and even misunderstood the black charcoal head. If he went out to say something randomly, I would put my face and my innocence. No, I would have to quickly block the black charcoal head's mouth and tell him not to speak randomly!"

Li Xiuning was filled with thoughts, shy and anxious, and hurriedly bowed: "If Your Majesty has nothing to do, Xiuning will take his leave first."

As he said that, without waiting for Tao Shangen to make an appointment, Li Xiuning blushed and lowered her head, and hurriedly fled from the inner tent.

Looking at Li Xiuning's hurriedly leaving, recalling the ambiguous and awkward scene just now, Tao Shang just shook his head and smiled.

...

At night, I went to the south of the capital.

On the city tower, Yelu Abao held the mace in his hand and looked down at the thousands of Liao soldiers lined up in the city with a cold look.

The remaining 40,000 cavalry, all his belongings are already here.

Lu Bu, Yan Liang, Yelu Xiuge, Yelu Xizhen, Yelu Dashi, and the five existing generals of the Liao Kingdom were all waiting to be dispatched.

Tonight will be the last bet that Yelu Abaoji has put in all his strength.

It will also be the last battle that determines the fate of the Liao Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, if you lose your battle today, everything will be over. Your Majesty must think twice." Sima Yi reminded with a serious expression.

"Zhongda's words are reasonable. I also feel that Your Majesty is betting on Zhang Fei's national destiny. It's too risky. Please consider it again." Yelu Chucai also reminded.

Yelu Abaoji glared at them coldly and said in a deep voice: "Even if I don't take risks tonight, do you think that I can defend Shangjing with just these little troops and horses, and can I keep the Great Liao invincible?"

Sima Yi and Yelu Chucai were shocked, both of whom were speechless and silent.

Yelu Abaoji's eyes turned to Xiao Yanyan beside him and asked solemnly: "Cousin, today's battle is related to the survival of the Liao Dynasty. The victory or defeat depends entirely on your judgment. Do you really think that Zhang Fei was lured by you?"

Xiao Yanyan smiled faintly and asked back: "Over the years, Yanyan has lured so many people to the emperor's brother. Has Yanyan ever disappointed the emperor's brother?"

She replied by asking questions and showed her confidence.

Yelu Abaoji nodded slightly, the remaining hesitation in his eyes was replaced by the forced bulging decision. He waved the mace in his hand and said sternly: "Transfer the will of my Khan, the entire army will go straight to the Wei camp."

After saying that, Yelu Abaoji carried a mace and strode down the city.

The city gate was wide open, and Yelu Abaoji held his head out of the city, led 40,000 cavalry to drive out to Beijing in a mighty manner, heading towards the southwest.

On the top of the city, Yelu Chucai, Xiao Yanyan, and Sima Yi stood there silently, watching their last hope, disappeared in the night and in the depths of the vast grassland.

"Khan, I hope your decision is correct. I hope God bless you, bless me, Daliao, and bless me, Daliao," Yelu Chucai begged silently in his heart.

Xiao Yanyan also pressed her hands on her chest and prayed silently in her heart: "Brother, you have always said that I am your lucky star. I have never failed in any of my mistakes over the years. I hope that this time there will be no accidents. Let me, the lucky star, bless you and Daliao to overcome difficulties."

Yelu Chucai and Xiao Yanyan looked up at the sky and prayed silently before they left the city.

Only Sima Yi, standing at the top of the city, looking at the dark night, never leaving for a long time.

"Sir, can Yelu Abaoji succeed here?" Behind him, a man in a black robe of fire clouds stood next to Sima Yi without knowing it. It was Dugu Qiubai who had disappeared for a long time.

"At this point, I dare not make any judgment anymore. Our enemy is the pottery merchant..." Sima Yi sighed quietly, no longer hiding his lack of confidence.

Dugu Qiubai frowned, was silent for a moment, and asked, "What should we do now? Are we just waiting for the result?"

Sima Yi took a breath and snorted coldly: "After following me for so many years, do you still need to teach me? I, Sima Yi, did it, and I have to prepare for both hands any time."

"I understand. I will make arrangements now. If things are unfavorable, I will escort the teacher to evacuate at any time." Dugu Qiubai bowed.

Sima Yi waved his hand, and Dugu Qiubai moved his body and disappeared into the night like a ghost.
