The northern wall of Seoul has been occupied by the Liao people within a hundred paces, and the retreat of the Song army has given Yelu Hongji and others great confidence, the Song people are Song people after all, and they always have an unrealistic compassion, and their lack of ruthlessness is their greatest weakness, and this will make them pay a great price today.

Yelu Hongji stood on the high walls of the imperial city, several generals around him were waiting for his orders, Yelu Hongji took a closer look at the situation below, pointed to a large avenue in the east, and said: "Let the people break through from first, the terrain is open and can accommodate more people, and once the few high-rise buildings behind are occupied, they can also be erected with bed crossbows to become enemy towers in the city, effectively killing and injuring the Song army." ”

Yelu Kanrong said: "His Royal Highness the prince Mingjian, we can first feint from the west, attract their attention, and then drive the people to attack the east defense line, and at the same time, we can use rockets to shoot at the wooden buildings on both sides of the middle street, forcing the Song army to retreat from the middle road, but this may accidentally injure the people." ”

"I can't care so much, we can't turn back, remember, I'd rather the people die, but also preserve the strength of the soldiers, and supervise the army to drive away in the rear, as long as there are people mutiny or flee, we must be mercilessly killed, otherwise it will be all chaos."

Yelu Kanrong glanced at Yelu Hongji with complicated eyes, and found that the prince's eyes were extremely fanatical, and his breathing was a little uneven, although the prince was only seventeen years old, but Yelu Kanrong no longer dared to measure him by age.

"The last will obey, and the last will arrange this." Yelu Kanrong gritted his teeth and said, he, like the prince, can only go one way to the dark, and today's act of driving the people to death can only use one result to obtain the final forgiveness, that is, to keep the capital.

Yelu Hongji didn't notice Yelu Kanrong's complicated expression, his attention was attracted by a huge agitation in front of the two armies, and a low horn suddenly sounded, it was the horn blown by the Song army, Yelu Hongji felt a pang in his heart: Is the Song army going to attack desperately?

More than a dozen horses galloped out of the Song army column on South Street, followed by three carriages, and an officer on the front of the team sat on a horse, with bright silver armor and a purple cloak that was particularly eye-catching, too far away, and his face was not very clear.

I saw that the man waved his hand, and an entourage next to him took out a barrel-shaped object from behind his back and put it on his mouth and began to shout: "The Liao people on the other side have listened, my Great Song Town, the general of the Great Song Town, Su Jin, has something to say to your commander, please go and report it quickly." ”

The cylindrical object seemed to have a special power, and it could send the sound as far away as the city wall hundreds of paces away; Yelu Hongji frowned, not knowing what the Song people were going to do; Soon after, someone came to report that the Song people had invited the prince to come to the dialogue, and Yelu Hongji thought for a while and said, "Let's go, go and see." ”

The people around him: "Your Royal Highness, beware of the tricks of the Song people, beware of the Song people's secret arrows and hurt people." ”

Yelu Hongji waved his hand and said: "No, the main generals of the Song army are not afraid of what His Royal Highness is afraid of, if you don't go, you will lose your morale and lead the way." ”

After that, he got off the city wall and rode his horses and galloped, and the guards hurriedly followed and gathered around, ready to block the arrows with their bodies.

Su Jin saw dozens of war horses galloping in front of the Liao army from a distance, and knew that it was the main general of the Liao army coming, so he rode up to meet him, and came to the front of the enemy army A hundred steps away from the horse to stand still, and after a while, the Liao people and horses came to the front, probably seeing themselves standing alone, and the enemy also had a red horse coming slowly, and the two sides gathered twenty steps to stand still, and saluted each other.

"Su Jin, the general of the Great Song Town, is polite." Su Jindao.

Yelu Hongji also said coldly: "King of Da Liaoyan, the chief of the Zhongcheng Division, and the eldest son of the emperor, Yelu Hongji is polite. ”

Su Jin was stunned, the young man in front of him was Yelu Hongji, that was the future emperor of Liao in history, but that was the history before his arrival, and it was difficult to say whether this young man could become the emperor now.

"It turned out to be the eldest prince, who has admired the name for a long time, and is indeed the dragon and phoenix among people." Su Jin has been mixed in officialdom for a long time, and he can't help but like to be polite.

Yelu Hongji slapped him mercilessly: "I'm not here to be polite to you, the Song people are treacherous, you and I are dead, if you have something to say, you don't have to say some nonsense." ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "Well said, happy!" There was no politeness between Song and Liao, and what the prince said was right. ”

"Anyway, what do you have to say to me? Did you see that you were going to lose today, and you came to beg for mercy first? This prince can tell you that everyone in your Song Kingdom can be spared, but you Su Jin can't. ”

"Haha, it turns out that you Liao people look at me Su Jin so differently, but I want to thank you; But the prince said the opposite, I am not here to forgive, but to persuade to surrender, your Liao country has gone, you still obey the will of heaven to submit to my dynasty, and so as not to be ruined, my Great Song Dynasty will not be as careful as your Liao people, I promise that I will not embarrass you, and even still give you the title of king, give you a piece of fiefdom, and ensure that you have no worries for a lifetime. ”

"Shut up, you don't know that you are dying until you are dying, can't you see the situation today? The people of my imperial city are excited, everyone is the same enemy, don't think that you have 80,000 troops in your hands, and it will only be a moment to be destroyed in front of my hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. ”

Su Jin shook his head and sighed: "The prince likes to put gold on his face, what hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians?" What is the same hatred? You regard the people as grass mustard, but you say it so high-sounding, this is the biggest mistake of your Liao people, if you don't treat the people as people, the people will treat you as people? Slowly, if you drive these unarmed people to block them, you will drive the people of the whole Liao country to come, and it is only a way to death, so I advise you to be sober. ”

Yelu Hongji took a few sips and shouted: "In this case, what kind of tongue do you have, let's start a war immediately." ”

Su Jin said: "Of course you want to fight, I just want to tell you one thing, there are a few people who want to see you, and we can start a war after you meet." ”

Yelu Hongji frowned and said, "Who wants to see me?" What's the trick? ”

Su Jin raised his right hand and waved, and the guards fifty paces away behind him caught up with the three black carriages they were following a few steps, lifted the curtain, and invited a few people from inside.

Yelu Hongji didn't look at it, he was dizzy when he saw it, and he almost fell off the horse, the first carriage came out of three women, Yelu Hongji couldn't be more familiar, it was his mother Empress Renyi and the two father's concubines, the second car came out of a few children, that was his younger brother and two sisters, and the third car came out of a few old men, that was Shang's father Zhang Jian and a few old ministers; Yelu Hongji understood everything, and the queen's car that was sent out of the city overnight to avoid the disaster was robbed by the Song army.

"You ...... Despicable and shameless! Yeluhongki's little face turned purple.

"I'll admit it, but so what?" Su Jin smiled.

From afar, the cries of the queen and the princess and princess were heard: "Emperor, save me." ”

"Brother, save me."

Yelu Hongji rolled off the saddle and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Queen Renyi and cried: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, the child is not filial." ”

Zhang Jian gasped and shouted: "Your Royal Highness, don't be coerced by the Song people, the Jiangshan Society is more important than everything. Before the words fell, Ma Han, who was standing on the side, slapped his big mouth, and hit Zhang Jian's remaining three old teeth flying out of the distance.

"The old thing, not honest, is telling grandpa to invite you to eat horse manure." Mahan scolded.

"The old man only wants to die, he only wants to die." Zhang Jian covered his face and shouted.

Ma Han waved his hand and said, "Brothers, give him something delicious." Several guards grabbed the horse manure on the snow and pulled Zhang Jian's hair and stuffed it into his mouth, Zhang Jian swallowed several mouthfuls, and fainted on the ground in anger.

"Thief, how can you insult my Daliao minister like this?" Yelu Hongji's eyes were on fire.

Su Jin spread his hands and said: "No way, my subordinates are all rough people, and the army is fighting outside, so it is inconvenient for me to reprimand more; Prince, have you thought about it? I don't know what my men will do to your queen mother if you don't surrender, but several of my generals have begged me for a reward. ”

"If you dare to insult my mother, I will not share heaven with you."

"Don't grit your teeth like this, it's all up to you, as long as you surrender immediately, I will let you go immediately, give you the best care, and no one dares to touch a single hair of your cold hair."

"Don't you think about it." Yelu Hongji was in chaos, his mother and siblings were captured, and he was thrown into a rat trap, how can he fight today? Is it true that you have to surrender? No, once you surrender, everything is over, the Song people may not kill themselves, but what is the difference between that and death?

Yelu Hongji's mind was racing, he slowly got up from the snow, patted the muddy water on his body, and said in a dumb voice: "General Su, this kind of matter is too important, how about I discuss it with my subordinates?" In addition, I have a reluctant request, I hope you will agree, you will bring my mother and brother and sister here, I will say a few words to them, I will order the guards to stay away from a hundred paces, you can also send someone to watch close, I will never try to save people. ”

Su Jin thought for a while and said, "Okay, I promised you, what's the matter if you see it." ”

Su Jin ordered people to escort Empress Renyi and a little prince and two little princesses to Yelu Hongji's face, and the guards took twenty steps back, bent their bows and arrows, and waited in battle.

Yelu Hongji stepped forward slowly, hugged and cried with Empress Renyi, and Empress Renyi cried: "Emperor, how should this be good, you have to save your mother and your younger brothers and sisters." ”

Yelu Hongji cried several times and said softly: "Queen Mother, the child naturally wants to save you, not only to save you, but also to save our Great Liao Kingdom, Shangjing can't be lost, the child can't descend, the child has no choice for today's matter, the queen mother should forgive the child." ”

Empress Renyi didn't understand Yelu Hongji's words, and with tears in her eyes, she was stunned and said, "The emperor...... You ......"

Yelu Hongji reached out and pulled out a scimitar studded with gold jewels from his waist, and the cold light on the tip of the knife pierced Empress Renyi's eyes, and suddenly, she understood what Yelu Hongji was going to do.

"Emperor, Emperor." Empress Renyi shouted hurriedly and stepped back.

"Queen Mother...... The son is not filial, the son can't let you be humiliated, the queen mother can go with peace of mind......" Yelu Hongji grabbed Empress Renyi's arm, gritted his teeth and stabbed with a knife, and a stream of blood spurted out, splashing Yelu Hongji's head and face.

The three underage princes and the little princess screamed in fright and fled; Su Jin came to his senses and exclaimed loudly: "It's not good, I'm in the hands of Yelu Hongji." ”

Before he could react, he saw Yelu Hongji hurrying to catch up, and his knife was like the wind, and he cleanly cut down his younger brother and two younger sisters into the snow.
