"Snapped."

The wine bottle in his hand was thrown out by Yelu Hongji, and it smashed to pieces with a crash on the ground.

Drinks spilled all over the floor.

Several princes did not dare to speak.

"Zhongjing fell, and the whole city surrendered. They are really a group of loyal and good ministers. They are all very smart at ordinary times, but they are helpless when facing Qin Guan. They are trash, a bunch of trash."

"Young thief Qin Guan, you dare to kill my emperor's son. I swear to you that I will never give up. I will kill you to avenge my children." Yelu Hongji cursed loudly.

In fact, he didn't even think about himself and ran faster than anyone else.

At this time, the eldest prince advised: "Father, scolding him now will not help. How should we deal with Qin Guan now?"

Yelu Hongji looked at his eldest son Yelu Nanzhen, then at the second prince Yelu Weizhen, and the fifth prince Yelu Shuzhen. These three princes were all born to Empress Xiao. When they came out, they were all brought out at the same time.

"What do you think we should do now?" Yelu Hongji asked.

Yelu Shu was really young and energetic, and said first: "Father, I think we should call back the armies from the North and South, and then recruit the border troops. You will personally command them, and surround and kill those abominable Qin Guan and Zhao troops on the grassland.

superior."

When Qin Guan was mentioned, he looked like he was gritting his teeth.

"Boss, what do you say?" Yelu Hongji looked at the eldest prince.

Yelu Nanzhen had already made a calculation in his mind and said: "Qin Guan has occupied the central capital, but he may not rush to the upper capital. The whole way to the upper capital is a mountain road, which is very difficult to travel and there are many passes, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"Although the border army has received your message, it is still unknown how long it will take to arrive. Father, why not issue a recruitment order now to recruit soldiers in Yikun Prefecture, Longhua Prefecture, Qin Prefecture and other places, with the Yulin Army as the backbone, we must

An army can be formed in a short period of time."

"You can also issue a summons order to summon the Wugulie, Chazha, Wanyan and other tribes to send people to assist."

"I think we will be able to form a large army in a month or two. By then the climate on the grassland will have warmed up. We can definitely fight back to Zhongjing, eliminate the Qinguan North Route Army, and take back the city of Zhongjing."

Yelu Hongji was silent for a while, then looked at his second son Yelu Weizhen, "Second brother, what do you think?"

Yeluwei raised his eyes, looked at Yelu Hongji, paused, and then said: "Father, why don't we talk about peace."

A look of anger flashed across Yelu Hongji's face, but he quickly put it away and said in a deep voice: "Speak carefully."

"Father, summon a large army to attack Qin Guan. Let's not talk about the time it will take a month or two, and how many variables there are. Just speaking of this prairie, Qin Guan is all cavalry. There is no need for him to guard Zhongjing City and wait for us to attack. It's completely

He can shuttle back and forth on the grassland, and it will be difficult for us to catch him then."

"More importantly, in my opinion, the advantage of invading southward is now gone."

"In the original strategy of the southern invasion, the most important word was "fast". We marched as fast as possible and established a front line. The North Court pointed directly at Jinling City. What we were most afraid of was being held back by the enemy. Even though we had 400,000 troops,

Of course, there are only 300,000 left now, but Qin Guan alone killed 30,000 people, and several battles consumed another 40,000 to 50,000 people."

"Zhao has more than one million soldiers and a population of 70 to 80 million. As long as we are delayed, we will be worn to death bit by bit by them. If we continue to be delayed, and Zhao Guo organizes more defenses, as long as the North and South Houses

If there is a big defeat, the whole situation will take a turn for the worse."

"Withdrawing now, we can still preserve our strength. If all these 300,000 troops are consumed by the Zhao State, by then it will be the time for the Zhao State to counterattack us, and we, Daliao, may be in danger of annihilation."

Yerunan was really unhappy when he heard that his second brother completely denied his opinions. He said, "My second brother is a bit exaggerated. Now the Zhao army, which is being fought by the troops from the North and South, is all over the ground and is retreating. How can it be held back?"

Just say it."

"As you said, if Qin Guan dares to go out to fight in the field, my Daliao cavalry is invincible in the field. Will I still be afraid of him? I'm afraid I can eliminate him in a few rounds."

Yelvweizhen said calmly: "Brother, don't forget Quli, Anashi, and Yelvshi. They fought with Qin Guan's Northern Route Army in the field, but the whole army was destroyed. What does this mean? It means that Qin Guan is not afraid.

Fighting in the field."

The eldest prince was choked by what Yelu Weizhen said, and his face became even more ugly.

"You all should go out, I'm thinking carefully." Yelu Hongji waved to his three sons, and the three of them immediately said goodbye and left.

After leaving the tent, the three of them walked far away. Yelu Nanzhen stopped and looked at his second brother, Yelu Weizhen, and said calmly: "This time, I am afraid that my father will adopt the second brother's suggestion."

The second prince looked at his eldest brother and said: "Actually, I know that eldest brother should have thought about this, but if you don't tell me, leave it to me because you are the eldest prince and you don't want to leave a trace to others.

The impression of timidly seeking peace, am I right, brother?"

The eldest prince's eyes flashed brightly and he said, "Since my second brother knows, why do I have to say it?"

The second prince sighed, "Because I know that someone must say these things. Things are already like this. It is unwise to do something knowing that it cannot be done. If our country's national destiny is completely consumed, then our country, Daliao, will really be in danger."

Already."

The eldest prince looked deeply at his second brother and sighed: "I am not as good as your second brother."

"But if my father sends his second brother to Beijing for peace talks this time, if you have the chance, you must kill Qin Guan. As soon as he dies, the Zhao army will be defeated, and we can take back the initiative immediately. Even if we cannot destroy the Zhao country,

At least we can harvest nearly half of Zhao’s land population.”

The second prince Yeluwei smiled lightly, "It seems that my eldest brother and I want to get together again."

Two days later, Yelu Hongji issued an order to send the second prince Yelu Weizhen to Zhongjing to contact the Zhao army, and the two countries negotiated a truce.

A team of horses rushed from Shangjing to Zhongjing, delivering a letter and the emperor's decree to those ministers.

The letter was addressed to Qin Guan, telling Qin Guan that he was willing to call off the war and negotiate peace between the two countries. If Qin Guan could make the decision, he would directly talk to Qin Guan. If Qin Guan could not make the decision, he would report it to the Emperor of Zhao.

As for the instructions given to the ministers of the Liao Kingdom, Qin Guan also read it. The emperor of the Liao Kingdom will send the second prince Yelu Weizhen to Zhongjing to take charge of the peace talks, and the ministers here will all be led by the second prince Yelu Weizhen to assist.

Peace talks matters.

This is equivalent to the Emperor of Liao pardoning their sin of surrender, letting things go by the wayside, and continuing to work. From this moment on, their status changed from prisoners to peace negotiators.

As expected of an emperor, he is very good at controlling people.

Regarding the Emperor of Liao's request for peace talks, Qin Guan was surprised but also felt that it was reasonable. In any case, the other party took action.
