Outside the Dafu City of Xijing, two Song troops surrounded the entire Datong City.

An old man on the top of the city looked at the Song army outside the city, his eyes full of despair.

The old man was named Yelu Yan, and he was appointed as the one who stayed in Xijing. However, he was originally a Han Chinese, and because of his expertise in political affairs, he was given the surname Yelu.

"Yelu Yan, you are a Han Chinese, why should you work for the Khitans? As long as you are willing to offer the city, my Song Dynasty will not treat you badly!"

Ning Fu stood under the city and shouted loudly to Yelu Yan above.

Although the Song army besieged Datong Prefecture City, Zhe Keshi and Zhang Feng did not attack immediately, but focused on Huairou, hoping that the officials in the city could surrender, which would also reduce casualties in the army.

"I have received the emperor's kindness in my life, so how could I surrender to you and others? You should have lost your heart!"

Yelu Yan on the top of the city also replied loudly. Although he is old, his body is very strong and his voice is very loud.

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children and grandchildren and the people in the city, right?"

Ning Fu smiled slightly and said loudly again.

"Yelu Yanxi has recruited a large army and is preparing to personally conquer Liaodong. He can give up the sixteen states of Yanyun. Now that we have taken over the fifteen states, only the lonely city of Datong Prefecture is left. Don't you wake up?"

As soon as Ning Fu said something, Yelu Yan finally showed a silent expression.

When Yelu Yan learned about Yelu Yanxi's personal command of the army, he thought it was a fake news deliberately spread by the Song army to shake their military morale.

However, the news from behind two days ago confirmed the news, which made the entire Datong Mansion City feel a sense of despair.

After all, the court has abandoned them, unless they can defend Datong Prefecture to the death, and only after Yelu Yanxi successfully returns to suppress the Jurchens, reinforcements will be possible.

However, there are less than 20,000 defenders in the city, while the Song army outside the city is nearly 100,000. There are more reinforcements in the rear and there are sufficient supplies. It is impossible to defend too long with the lonely city of Datong alone.

"Yelu Yan, I will give you three days to consider. If you do not respond within three days, then we will think that you are going to hold on to the end. When the city is broken, don't blame us for being cold-blooded and ruthless!"

Ning Fu saw that Yelu Yan was a little hesitant, so he issued a final ultimatum, and after that, he turned around and returned to the camp.

Yelu Yan at the top of the city also had a complicated expression. He looked at the tight and neat Song army outside the city, then looked at the city again, and finally sighed and went down the city.

"snort!"

Just as Yelu Yan left, a young Khitan general on the top of the city snorted coldly. If Ning Fu were here, he would definitely recognize that the young Khitan general was Yelu Yuji.

When Ning came back to the Liao Kingdom and returned to the Song Dynasty from the Liao Kingdom, because Yelu Hongji was sick, Xiao Fengxian could not see Ning Fu off himself, so the Liao Kingdom arranged for Yelu Yu to see Ning Fu off as he saw him off. This guy has always looked down on the Song people.

The two were not happy on the road.

Yelu Yuji was originally a man of the same house, and was also considered to be Yelu Yanxi's confidant. Therefore, since Yelu Yanxi took power, he has sent him to Xijing as an official, with two battalions of troops and horses. Now he is responsible for defending the city walls.

.

"Brother, even the Han people are not trusted. Although this old guy was given the national surname, judging from his performance just now, he is probably ready to surrender!"

At this moment, another young general came over and whispered to Yelu Yu.

The young general was named Xiao Bogong, who was Yelu Yuji's deputy. Both of them were Khitans and had always distrustful people with Han people. In addition, they were of similar temperaments, so they became sworn brothers of different surnames.

"This is not a place to talk. You can go to my place when it's worth it tonight!"

Yelu Yukan looked around with great vigilance, and then whispered.

Yelu Yu saw that after all, he had just arrived in Xijing. In comparison, Yelu Yan was a Han native and was born in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. He had been in Xijing for many years and was quite powerful in the city.

There were Song troops outside the city, so the Liao army at the top of the city was also very nervous. Fortunately, Ning Fu said that he would give three days to consider, so the Liao army at the top of the city had a chance to breathe.

In the evening, Yelu Yu saw the time, and Xiao Bogong also brought a few foods to his residence. The two of them sat opposite each other and chatted while eating.

"Brother, if Yelu Yan surrenders, they don't have to worry about liquidation, but we may be doomed!"

Xiao Bogong took a sip of wine and said.

During this period, defeated soldiers from all over the country fled to Xijing City, which also brought a lot of news.

For example, after the Song army conquered a place, they would liquidate some extremely evil tyrants.

Most of these evil tyrants were Khitans. After all, the Khitans were naturally superior to others in the Liao Kingdom. Not only the Han people were bullied, but the Jurchens and Bohai people were also bullied. Therefore, the national rebellion in Liao has never stopped

.

In this case, there were many rumors that the Song army would liquidate the Khitans every time they conquer a place. Although there were not many Khitans in Yanyun area, they were not small, so many Khitans were many.

They all started to escape, which further exacerbated the spread of this rumor.

"Yelu Yan, a guy who relies on his wife to get promoted, probably has long been resentful to our Daliao. No matter what, he cannot be allowed to surrender!"

Yelu Yu slapped the table and said angrily.

The so-called selling of a wife is actually a matter of time. Everyone knows that Yelu Hongji was extremely lustful when he was young, while Yelu Yan's wife was extremely beautiful when he was young. Therefore, Yelu Hongji often summoned Yelu Yan's wife into the palace.

As a result, Yelu Yan not only did not get angry, but instead told his wife to serve him well. It was precisely because of this special relationship that he could rise to the top and even became the Privy Council envoy of the Southern Court and was deeply trusted by Yelu Hongji.

"Brother, what should we do? As long as you give me the order, my life will be yours!"

Xiao Bogong stared at Yelu Yuji with bright eyes at this time. The two had been sworn for many years and had already understood each other's temperament, so Xiao Bogong was also looking forward to the other party's decision.

Yelu Yujiu also showed a contemplative expression at this time, as if he was weighing something?

After a while, Yelu Yuji finally slapped the table and said, "Send someone to inquire about the movements of Yelu Yan first. Didn't the Song people give him three days to consider? If he dares to surrender, then don't

We brothers are blaming us for being polite!"

"Brother, wise, I'll send someone to inquire now!"

Bo Xiao stood up and left with joy.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Yuji grabbed him and said, "Don't rush to leave, don't rush to find out the news, we have another more important thing to do!"

"What's up?"

Xiao Bogong was stunned when he heard this and immediately asked.

"Of course I was secretly contacting other people. After all, there are more than two of us Khitans in this Xijing city!"
