The news of the capture of Youzhou by the Song army was indeed true, and the day after the meeting with the Empress Dowager Yeli, after the Empress Dowager Yeli did not make a final response, Su Jin ordered the capture of Youzhou.

An undefended city does not need to be blown away, and in only half an hour, the army has occupied Youzhou, an important town in the south of the Xia Kingdom, and the southeast gate of the Xia Kingdom has been opened.

In order to create more pressure on the Xia State, Su Jin ordered the army to continue to march north, directly approaching Longzhou and Xiazhou, these two states had a small number of troops stationed, but the crushing of the 100,000 army was not afraid of the small projectile blocking, and soon Longzhou Xiazhou fell into a heavy siege.

Su Jin was not in a hurry to order the capture of Longzhou and Xiazhou, he was waiting for news, and he wanted to give the Empress Dowager Yeli time to react.

The Xia court was in a panic after hearing the report, and the Empress Dowager Yeli got the news of the loss of Youzhou on the way back to Beijing, and it was only then that she understood what Su Jin meant when he said "to inform the consequences with practical actions", Su Jin was going to force himself to make a statement, otherwise, the Song army would wave north, and half of the country would soon fall.

Empress Dowager Yeli was both hateful and helpless, Su Jin wanted Xia to entangle the retreating troops of Liao to fight to the death, the purpose of which was to weaken the Liao State's military strength and reduce the Song State's trouble after the war, but it was also to destroy the Xia State's military strength; The result of the fight with the Liao people is bound to be both wounded, and the biggest beneficiary is naturally the Song people, and the future Song State will be the most powerful of the Three Kingdoms, and the Xia State and the Liao State will inevitably hate each other after this death war, and Su Jin can be said to be exhausted.

Empress Dowager Yeli just doesn't want to see such a result, standing in her position, she hopes that the best outcome is that the Liao State withdraws from the army, the Song State withdraws from the army, and then she reveals the Song State's two-faced and three-knife approach to the Liao people, provoking hostility between Song and Liao, and Great Xia can quickly recover its national strength in the neglect of the two powers, this war not only did not deplete the Xia State's national strength, but on the contrary, both materially and morale, the Xia State has gained huge benefits, and the truce at this time is undoubtedly the best result.

However, in front of Su Jin, the Empress Dowager Yeli obviously felt that her IQ was not enough, she hoped that Su Jin would not see this, but Su Jin had obviously already seen it, Su Jin's capture of Youzhou was the final warning, if she didn't give a clear answer, Su Jin would not hesitate to storm to the north, and the two armies would soon capture Xingqing Mansion, and the fall of Great Xia was just around the corner.

It was obvious where to go now, and the Empress Dowager Yeli quickly turned around and drove to Longzhou to see Su Jin, who was worthless in front of society and dignity.

In the camp of the Western Song Dynasty Army in Longzhou, Su Jin greeted the arrival of the Empress Dowager Yeli by laying out the red carpet and playing music and setting off a salute, although in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Yeli, this is a certain degree of humiliation, but she still walked into Su Jin's big tent with a smile and a decent demeanor, and the charming image of the Empress Dowager Xia also caused a lot of commotion in the Song army.

After retreating, the flower-like face of the Empress Dowager Yeli was immediately covered with a layer of cold frost and snow, and her smiling eyes became cold and sharp; Su Jin was surprised by the skill of the Empress Dowager Yeli's acting skills, but she was not too surprised by her anger, anyone would be like this if she were replaced.

"What a Master Su Jinsu, or Ahri's husband, amazing, really amazing." The Empress Dowager Yeli teased.

Su Jin got up and arched his hand and said, "I'm so sorry, I can't help myself, and the Queen Mother is angry." ”

"Hmph, how dare the mourning family be angry? The mourning family is played by you, what right do you have to be angry? The Mourning family thought that with your friendship with our Yeli tribe, they would be able to believe their words and believe, and they would not go back on their word, but they forgot the fact that you are a Song person, and they also forgot the truth that there is no family affection in the conflict of interests. ”

Su Jin sighed and said, "The Queen Mother seems to be indignant, but let me ask, what did I not do as we agreed?" Your army went north to defend against the enemy, and my Song army feinted for half a month, have you ever seriously attacked you? We supply you with weapons, food, and armor free of charge, and I will do it for you as long as you stretch out your hand, have you ever lost your word? Isn't it unfair that you're erasing it all now? ”

Empress Dowager Yeli said: "What now? You not only captured Youzhou, but also surrounded Longzhou and Xiazhou, haven't all your previous tricks been exposed? At the end of the day, it's all about today, and there's nothing to quibble. ”

Su Jin smiled and said slowly: "The Queen Mother must think so, I can't help it, in fact, I understand your thoughts, your Xia Kingdom was originally unable to escape this catastrophe of destroying the country, and I tried my best to persuade the imperial court to form an alliance with you, do you think it was a whim?" If it weren't for the fact that Ahri and Duanyun were both Xia people, I wouldn't care about the life and death of Xia Kingdom. ”

Empress Dowager Yeli sneered.

Su Jin continued to take care of himself: "For the Xia Kingdom, the resolution of the crisis of the dead country is already the best result, with this as the bottom line, you should also consider the feelings of other countries, why did my Great Song Dynasty turn against the Liao people for the sake of your Xia Kingdom?" Why? I want you to support the Liao people to retreat, just so that the three kingdoms can check and balance each other in the future, if you don't give the Liao people a heavy blow this time, the Great Song Dynasty will suffer fierce retaliation, will you come to my aid when the time comes? You won't, don't say that I look down on your Xia Kingdom, you won't fight to the death with the Liao people for my Great Song Dynasty; You can ignore these things, but I can't leave hidden dangers for the future, so I want you to annihilate all the 200,000 Liao troops in Xia, which can not only increase the deterrence and reduce the danger for yourself, but also make the Liao people dare not act rashly for a long time, or they will not be able to recover; It's not that you can't see this, but your selfishness drives you to reject me, and I can only force you to say yes to me. ”

Empress Dowager Yeli shouted: "However, the army that defeated the Liao people and my Great Xia will also be completely lost, when will my Great Xia be strong?" Isn't it reduced to the meat of a sword? ”

Su Jin said lightly: "You think too much, in your lifetime, you will not be able to see the situation of Xia Kingdom dominating the world, because I am in the Great Song Dynasty." I advise you to give up your ridiculous ambitions! It is already a great grace for Xia Guo to exist, live your life as the queen mother! As for the safety of the Xia Kingdom, you can rest assured, I said that day, the Great Song Dynasty will protect the safety of your Xia Kingdom, as long as you open your mouth to ask for help, reinforcements will come, in short, I will try my best to compensate you. ”

Empress Dowager Yeli was angry with tears, she felt extremely humiliated, Su Jin saw through her heart, and her words were very direct, I came here today to promise the other party, what is the point of making a criticism now.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Yeli wiped away her tears with a silk handkerchief, raised her head and said: "The mourning family can promise you, but you must promise the mourning family a few conditions." ”

Su Jin personally brought a cup of tea to Yeli Dulan and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, please command." ”

Empress Dowager Yeli let out a sullen breath and said: "First, what you need is to immediately withdraw from Longzhou Xiazhou and withdraw from Youzhou City, otherwise even if I agree, the courtiers will definitely oppose it." ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "It's easy to do, it's supposed to be like this." ”

"Second, I need more material assistance, with my current strength in Great Xia, it is delusional to annihilate the remaining 170,000 troops of the Liao, and the mourning family needs to arm more party men into the army, and you have to cover all these weapons, armor, and food, and you have to make up for the loss of production halt caused by men's enlistment."

Su Jin knocked on the table and thought for a long time, seemingly hesitating, and the Empress Dowager Yeli said: "If you don't agree, it will be no good for you to lose my Great Xia army." ”

Su Jin put his hand on the table and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will assist you with 50,000 sets of armor and weapons within two months, 2 million yuan in money, and 8 million stones in food." ”

"No, it's not enough." Empress Yeli said.

Su Jin said: "I can only give you so much, this is already my limit, if you don't agree, just give up, don't think I don't know that your Xia Kingdom armor and weapons are still in stock, I don't want someone to wear my Great Song armor in the future, take my Great Song weapons, and eat my Great Song food to kill my Song people." ”

The Empress Dowager Yeli was extremely angry, muttering and cursing like a shrew, Su Jin was unmoved, and the Empress Dowager Yeli finally had to agree.

"Third, the mourning family wants you to fulfill your promise, didn't you say that you can personally command the battle? The mourning family wants you to personally command and fight with the Liao people, and if you win, it will naturally be as you wish, and if you lose, it will be your Su Jin's inability, but it is not that I will not contribute to Daxia. ”

Su Jin just said casually that day, but he didn't expect the Empress Dowager Yeli to really make such a request, and Su Jin suddenly scratched his scalp.

"What? Don't you dare? Lord Su's words are flying all over the sky, but he doesn't dare to go to confront the Liao people in person, the mourning family sees that you are really pitiful, if you are really afraid, the mourning family will withdraw this article, so as not to embarrass you Lord Su. "The Empress Dowager Yeli easily seized the opportunity, so she naturally vigorously sarcastic and sarcastic.

Su Jin said: "You don't want to provoke me, I agreed, but I need to ask the court for approval, otherwise it can't be said, the queen mother needs to immediately order the northern army, first drag the Liao people and don't let them slip, I will ask the court for permission to rush to the north as soon as possible, if the Liao army runs away, you can bear the consequences." ”

The Empress Dowager Yeli got up and said, "A word is a certainty, and the mourning family has left." ”

Su Jin got up and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, play music, and salute!" ”

In the sound of firecrackers, the car of the Empress Dowager Yeli galloped out of the camp and quickly went north, Su Jin immediately ordered the camp to retreat, and half a day later, the Song army besieging the city around Xiazhou in Longzhou retreated like a tide, which made the defenders of the two states stunned, and thought that they had a nightmare.
