Lin Ping never thought that he would see Cui Ang.

So much so that he looked up and down for a long time before confirming that the person standing in front of him was the real Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, Cui Ang.

This made him stunned for a while.

"Ms. Cui, this is really unexpected!" He opened his mouth for a long time before closing it. Even if Lin Ping went deep into the city, he still felt a little incomprehensible to what was happening in front of him. "Please sit down!"

"What a good trick your country has!" Looking at Lin Ping, Cui Ang said with emotion: "Everything is just to lure us into your huge trap. Mr. Cui has to be convinced."

Lin Ping chuckled: "It's not that there are no traces, it's just that some people's inner demons were exploited by us. The biggest enemy of Daliao has always been the Song Dynasty. No matter how strong the Western Army is, how strong can it be?

?Is it worth it for us to give up our huge interests to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty for him?"

“If you want to take something, you must first give it!”

Lin Ping's pride was beyond words.

"Xiangong Cui, are you here to beg for peace on the orders of your officials? Unfortunately, this time, you will get nothing but war. Our Majesty wants to spend the winter at the Long Live Palace in Bianliang.

I heard that there are hot springs there that are still steaming even in the dead of winter, the most beautiful rockeries in the world, and countless rare and rare trees. Our Majesty can’t wait to see them."

"I didn't go back to Bianliang." Cui Ang said: "I was defeated by Xiao Ding in the northwest, and the hundred thousand troops were completely destroyed. When I returned to Bianliang, I could only have a piece of white silk and a glass of poisoned wine."

Lin Ping was stunned again. He looked at Cui Ang for a long time and then said: "Is it possible that Mr. Cui is preparing to surrender to our Daliao army?"

"Elites choose trees to live in. Since Daliao is a sycamore tree, it will naturally attract countless birds to build nests!" Cui Ang said.

Lin Ping was speechless.

He looked at the old face in front of him again and couldn't tell that it was so thick.

If you can be considered a genius, then there are too many talents in the world.

Of course, in terms of thick skin, you can indeed be regarded as the most talented person in the world.

He coughed twice: "Ms. Cui, why didn't you go directly to His Majesty and come to my place instead?"

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty has arrived at the gates of Daming Mansion. If I look for him at this time, I am afraid that I will be chopped into pieces before I even see His Majesty the Emperor." Cui Ang said: "So I went around in a circle, first

Came to find you.”

Lin Ping smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Cui is self-aware. If you really go directly to His Majesty, whether it is Qin Min or the Queen, they will definitely kill you with one knife without saying a word."

"Qin Min will definitely kill me with one knife, but your queen may not." Cui Ang said calmly.

"Really?" Lin Ping's eyes twitched.

"Of course." Cui Ang said: "Xiao Yi went to Liao, but in just ten years, she gained great power and became the most powerful queen in the history of Liao. How could such a person be short-sighted?

Let alone affect the national affairs for the sake of mere personal grudges."

Lin Ping snorted and adjusted his breathing: "In that case, why don't you go find her?"

"Because the queen's power is strong enough. If I go to her, she will still reuse me during this period, but after this period, it may not be possible. Maybe she will throw me away like a rag." Cui Ang said.

: "But you, King Lin, are different. I believe you have felt a strong crisis now."

"I am the King of Nanyuan, your Majesty's senior brother, and a hero of the Liao Dynasty!"

"Xiao Min may not necessarily think so." Cui Ang said with a smile.

Lin Ping was speechless.

I have to say that the wizened old man in front of me is not good at anything else. He looks at these things with a vicious eye.

The emperor's health is getting worse day by day, the queen's power is getting stronger day by day, and the Lin family, with Lin Jing's death of illness a year ago, the pressure on Lin Ping is increasing.

The Queen's hatred for him was almost unabashed.

It is estimated that when the emperor dies, the queen will deal with him.

Now Lin Ping's only hope is the emperor's promise to him.

The emperor said there would be an arrangement. Lin Pingmomohuhudi could guess that arrangement, but could it be fulfilled?

"Xianggong Cui, the Song Dynasty is about to fall. What can you do to help me?" Lin Ping sneered: "Don't show off your worth in front of me, and don't tell me what your plans are."

"Just because I am an important official in the capital of the Song Dynasty, and I also signed for the Privy Council, I believe that these two identities can play an irreplaceable role in unifying the Liao Dynasty." Cui Ang said: "Not to mention the peach blossoms all over the world, over the years,

, I have promoted subordinates all over the world, King Lin, you don’t think that Daliao can always push the Song Dynasty with its military force, do you?”

Lin Ping couldn't help but look at the guy in front of him with great admiration.

The senior officials of the Liao State discussed the conquest of the Song State countless times, but the final conclusion was that the Liao State would not be able to launch an all-round attack on the southern part of the Song State at the moment.

Therefore, this attack would be temporarily completed if it only captured Bianliang, the capital that represented the power of the Song Dynasty.

This guy in front of you, you say he has the ability. At least half of the current corrupt situation in the Song Dynasty must be attributed to him. You say he has no ability, but he sees the current situation very accurately.

"What do you want?"

"I want to unite with you, Your Majesty!" Cui Ang said: "Da Liao has a use for me, and I also have a grudge against your Queen. King Lin, as long as we operate properly, we can join forces to fight against the Queen's power in the future.

.I think your emperor also saw the threat from the queen. If he is alive, the queen will naturally behave obediently. What if he dies? Will the world have a different surname? For example, Xiao?"

The muscles on Lin Ping's face twitched.

"King Lin, we are natural allies!"

"Xiangong Cui, if you want to be reused, of course you need a meeting gift. Empty words are unconvincing!" Lin Ping said.

"Of course!" Cui Ang said: "The Daliao army will capture Damingfu soon. My son Cui Bo will be the governor of Huazhou. Next, the Liao soldiers will force Bianliang. My son will lead Huazhou to welcome the Heavenly Master.

.”

Lin Ping's eyelids twitched, and he realized that he had underestimated the shamelessness of the person in front of him!

However, this is a great thing for Daliao.

It seems to be pretty good for myself.

The Queen's momentum is getting stronger and stronger.

Cui Ang still doesn’t know that all the plans and preliminary preparations for this battle were planned by the queen!

If Bianliang is successfully captured in this battle, the queen's reputation will definitely rise again, and even the stubborn Khitan nobles will crawl at her feet.

With such a person to share the Queen's anger, I can feel relaxed.

Moreover, this person has a mortal enemy with Yelumin!

If he could provoke Yelumin to do something, for example, chop the disgusting guy in front of him with a knife, then he would have reason to attack Yelumin.

Not to mention making him lose his life, but if it can break his spirit, suppress his arrogance, or take away his military power, even the emperor would be happy to see it happen.

Outside the big tent, there was the sound of horse hooves.

"Reporting to your Majesty, good news came from the front line. Damingfu City has been destroyed. Our army has entered the city and is in the final battle with the stubborn Song army."

Lin Ping laughed loudly and stood up: "Once Daming Palace is defeated, no force can stop us from taking Tokyo. Cui Xianggong, just follow me to Daming Palace. Life or death, wealth or disaster."

Oops, let it be up to Your Majesty’s discretion!”

"His Majesty the Emperor of Liao is an extraordinary person, so he naturally knows how to choose!" Cui Ang said with a smile.

In a big battle, the role that a certain general's bravery can play is basically negligible.

Just like this time when the Liao Dynasty conquered the Song Dynasty, it took several years of planning, but it was more of a grand calculation in the temple. When the final war began, the outcome was already clear.

But when it comes to a specific battle, the general's bravery can play a huge role.

Just like the battle of Damingfu, Yelumin used his own courage at the most critical moment to speed up the defeat of Damingfu.

Daming Mansion, which originally had no Yelumin, a serious shortage of troops, and a serious morale setback, would eventually break through the city, but it was only because of people like Ma Xing and Zheng Xiong that they could hold on with one breath.

However, Yelumin took the lead in charging into the city as the commander-in-chief, which greatly stimulated the morale of the Liao army. More importantly, he also successfully climbed to the top and killed the actual military leader of the Song army who was attacking and defending Damingfu City.

Zheng Xiong.

Once Zheng Xiong died, the morale of the Song army, which was already low, dropped several levels, and it was almost considered as if they had no fighting spirit.

Daming Mansion was immediately destroyed.

The final urban street fighting was just the last stubborn resistance of the remaining Song army.

It was at this time that Yelujun and Xiao Chuo arrived at Daming Mansion.

In fact, they did not expect that Daming Mansion would be breached so quickly.

Originally, they were preparing to encourage the soldiers. Going on a personal expedition has always been the best stimulus for soldiers to move forward bravely.

Yelumin's body was covered with dozens of wounds, his armor and stomach were covered with knife marks, and the holes opened by the divine arm's crossbow were shocking.

Yelujun and others were full of praise for Yelumin, but Queen Xiao Chuo didn't look happy at all.

This made Yelumin a little embarrassed.

He knew that the Queen had always opposed senior generals like him to charge into battle.

If he died in battle, there would be a big problem for Shan's army. For Xiao Chuo, it doesn't have much real meaning when Daming Mansion was breached, but if something happened to Yelu Min, the losses would be huge.

It's too big. It's basically impossible to find another confidant like Yelumin.

"Inform the entire army that anyone who can capture Ma Xing alive will be promoted to an official position and promoted to the third level. If he wants money, he will receive a reward of ten thousand taels!" Yelujun issued a reward order.

Ma Xing is a big shot. Capturing this man alive would be an unprecedented blow to the Song army and the entire Song Dynasty.

Daming Mansion's appeasement caused chaos in the Yamen.

When Ma Xing returned here, there were only more than a hundred personal guards left with him.

As for the officials, staff, servants and slaves in the Yamen of the Comfort Envoy, after hearing the news of the city's destruction, they had long since fled without a trace, and some even took away a lot of valuable things.

It really complies with the saying that when disaster strikes, we will fly separately.

Under the command of Ma Xing, the soldiers brought countless firewood into the main hall and poured it with grease. It was clear what Ma Xing wanted to do.

The soldiers who had done all this were still waiting in the yard.

"Let's disperse!" Ma Xing waved his hand to the guards and said: "There is no point anymore. Whether you can escape or not depends on your own ability. I only have one request for you.

Don’t surrender to the Liao people.”

"Bachelor, we will protect you and fight out!" the guard leader choked.

"I am the pacifier of Hebei Road, and I have the responsibility to defend the territory. I should die with the city!" Ma Xing said. "Besides, I can't be killed. I can't become a prisoner of the Liao people, let alone die on the roadside like a dog.

.Walk!"

Amidst the roar, Ma Xing threw the torch in his hand on the pile of firewood filled with grease, and the flames burst into flames.

In the light of the fire, several concubines in the house cried in fear.

Ma Xing looked at them with his sword in hand and said, "If I let you go out, I'm afraid your life would be worse than death. It's better to go to hell with me."

"Bachelor, I'm afraid of pain, please send me away first!" a woman cried.

"Okay!" Ma Xing nodded, and without much hesitation, he stabbed the knife.

One by one, he sent several concubines away first. Ma Xing walked behind the big eucalyptus, pressed his hands on the eucalyptus table, and glared in front of him. On the other side of his body, there was the body of Ma Yun who had died in the battle.

He was placed on a chair and looked like he was asleep.

The fire grew stronger and gradually engulfed the two figures.

But Ma Xing's figure remained motionless.

Zhang Cheng didn't know how he felt when he saw Cui Jin returning safe and sound and standing in front of him. Even though he looked down on Cui Ang very much, Cui Jin couldn't let him accuse him of anything.

"Ten thousand people?" Zhang Cheng asked in surprise as the two drank together.

"Yes, I brought back ten thousand warriors from Yanzhou City." Cui Jin said: "They are all specially selected by me. Not only are they brave, but they all have families and families in Tokyo City. This time they come back

Aid Tokyo, don't worry if they fight to the death. Ziming, I need you to prepare enough food and grass for me."

"Of course there is food and grass." Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "But instead of going to Hebei, are you going back to Tokyo?"

"Hebei will definitely not be defended." Cui Jin said: "Xiao Ding told me personally that his judgment on war has always been extremely accurate. I must rush back to Tokyo as soon as possible."

"I really didn't expect that Xiao Ding would do this. Not only did he give you people, but he also let these people come back fully armed." Zhang Cheng was a little melancholy.

Cui Jin couldn't say much about the grievances between the Zhang family and the Xiao family.

"Ziming, the national affairs are very important right now. Xiao Ding will not do anything else at this time. If he really wants the Liao people to destroy our Song Dynasty, will he be able to survive for a long time? When he reaches the Song Dynasty, he will have the danger of Hengshan and the vast sea.
