Lingqiu County is under the management of Weizhou in the original territory of Liao Kingdom.
Now that the Jin Dynasty destroyed Liao, Lingqiu still returns to Weizhou.
However, Weizhou only stationed a thousand-man team of Jin people, and was unable to take care of Lingqiu, which allowed Bei Liao to take advantage of the opportunity and occupy this small city.
The city walls are short, and the city is only a few miles in size at most.
The flags were waving outside Lingqiu City. The Dayan delegation led by Zhao Gou, the prince of Henan, Dayan, was escorted by five thousand soldiers and horses. Although he was slowly walking along the way according to Wang Lin's arrangement, he arrived on the fourth day after leaving Zhending.
Outside the Lingqiu.
No matter how slow it is, Zhao Gou himself feels embarrassed.
Zhao Gou was wearing a prince's crown and uniform, which was gorgeous and solemn. He wore a golden crown on his head and had a pretty face.
Among Zhao Ji's princes, he is the best in appearance.
Behind Zhao Ji, Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan changed into Khitan women's outfits, namely, riding shooting suits, and they were also riding on horseback, holding a sword in their hands.
As a nation on horseback, although Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyangui are queens and princesses, they are not the delicate buds in the greenhouse.
Zhao Gou waved on the horse's back.
The team stopped moving forward immediately.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the high temperature in the Hebei Plain at the end of summer is still sweating profusely.
Zhao Gou stared blankly at the inconspicuous small town in front of him, and the Khitan wolf flag flying high above the city gate tower, and he hesitated slightly in his heart.
The situation is already quite clear.
As long as the Dayan delegation entered Lingqiu, the Northern Liao and Jin people would arrive in an instant, surrounding Lingqiu was blocked.
In such a small city, tens of thousands of soldiers are enough to siege the city.
Zhao Gou knew that as long as he entered the city, danger would come immediately.
But can he retreat?
Not to mention the decency of the Great Yan Dynasty, even his dignity as the former Prince of Song would not allow him to take a step back.
Zhao Gou looked back at the two bright faces of Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan.
This is the emperor's woman. With the master's character of his wife, since he is willing to let Xiao Duoli Lai follow him, it means he will definitely have a solution.
It’s just that the battlefield soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and they change in an instant. After all, Wang Lin is not a god.
In case he miscalculated, Zhao Gou knew that he and these five thousand soldiers would be buried in Lingqiu.
Xiao Duoli Lai did not urge him.
In fact, her mood is also complicated.
On that day, she was captured by the Jin people in this small town. Wang Lin led his army to raid to save her from the fire and water.
Otherwise, she and Yelu Yuliyan would have been ruined to death that night by beastly Jin soldiers.
Zhao Gou suddenly turned over and dismounted, turned around and looked towards Henan.
He slowly knelt down on the ground, bowed three times and nine times.
Xiao Duoli Lai raised his lips slightly, and she knew that Zhao Gou should be bowing to the ancestral temple of the former Song Dynasty. He said goodbye to his ancestors of the Zhao family.
Xiao Duoli said lightly: "Prince of Henan, let's go, let's go into the city, look, the people of Northern Liao have come out of the city."
At this time, the sunset is setting and the sky is full of red clouds.
The person who went out of the city to welcome the Dayan mission was Song Lan, the nominal Prime Minister of the Northern Liao Kingdom, and Xiao Wan, the Grand Marshal of the Army.
Zhao Gou got off the horse and greeted him. After a burst of unnutritional greetings and politeness, he entered the city.
Xiao Wan and Xiao Duolilai's eyes met and sighed in his heart.
Dayan was still fooled.
While accompanying the city slowly, Xiao Wan sighed: "Why is my aunt so stupid? What's the difference between you coming to Lingqiu and a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?"
No one noticed that Song Lan and his more than ten followers did not return to the city, but quietly retreated from the crowd, taking advantage of the chaos to drive away, leaving nowhere.
This is Song Lan's retreat.
He had no intention of working for Yeluding and the small Northern Liao court that was doomed to perish.
Xiao Duoli Lai looked at Xiao Wan and smiled slightly and said, "Wan'er, if I don't come, will Wanyan Zonggan come?"
Xiao Guan's expression changed suddenly, and his eyes suddenly became very exciting when he looked at Xiao Duolilai.
Since Xiao Duoli Lai said this, it means that Yeluding's not-so-smart trick has been seen through by the Yan people.
The Yan people still came here as usual, which probably only means that the Yan people are using their plans.
But although Lingqiu is only more than a hundred miles away from the border of Hebei, it is a small city where tens of thousands of soldiers can destroy it in the blink of an eye. Even though Wang Lin is prepared, is there still time for everything?
According to Xiao Guan, the current soldiers and tens of thousands of Jin troops in Northern Liao have been ambushed less than 30 miles from the left and right wings of Lingqiu. As long as the Dayan delegation enters the city, Lingqiu will be besieged for at most an hour.
It was taken down immediately.
Unless the Yan army is close, there will be no rescue.
Xiao Wan sighed, he was already determined to die.
He looked at Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan deeply, shook his head, and accompanied him into the city without saying anything more.
Lingqiu County Government.
Zhao Gou led the Dayan envoy into the court, looked at Xiao Wan, and said in a dim manner: "General Xiao, where is your Northern Liao King? I followed the order of Emperor Dayan and led the angels to Lingqiu. Your enthronement ceremony is ready.
What happened?"
Xiao Guan was silent for a while and said lightly: "The princes of Henan have already entered the city, and it is too late to say anything now. We don't say secret words in front of our wise people... As for our lord, the King of Northern Liao, I guess at most.
In the evening, you will be able to see it."
This is not a mystery, but a joke.
Zhao Gou's face twitched. He understood that Xiao Wan was saying that they were already beasts that had entered the trap, and the trap had been closed, and the hunters would come at most in the evening.
Zhao Gou also remained silent.
However, Xiao Guan immediately led some Liao people, nobles and tribal leaders in Lingqiu City to sit behind the case, and then led everyone to worship the former master.
The Empress of the Great Liao Kingdom and the Last Princess of the Great Liao Kingdom.
Seeing the old Liao officials crawling at his feet, Xiao Duoli Lai was slightly moved.
Her beautiful face has a deep redness.
She thought of something that had long been forgotten by her.
It was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that these so-called family and country past events, national hatreds and family hatreds were gradually blurred in her memory.
But the scenes that happened in the past or two years after Wang Lin were still fresh in memory and unforgettable.
She thought of Wang Lin's affectionate hug before leaving inappropriately.
At that moment, she could sense the man's passionate care for herself and the outflow of feelings, which could not be faked.
She believed that Wang Lin would not put her in danger.
The appearance of the beloved man became clearer and clearer. The smile on her face made her feel at ease, and she gradually burst into tears.
Seeing this, Xiao Guan and others thought that Xiao Duoli was worried about his homeland, and they all felt sad and burst into tears.
Xiao Wan cried the most fiercely.
Xiao Guan cried the last desperate journey for the Liao people.
Xiao Duoli sighed and came to her senses. She got up and walked down, helped Xiao Guan and others up, and said softly: "Wan'er, everyone, my Great Liao was destroyed by the Jin people, so bloody hatred, but
Yelu Ding insisted on his own, recognizes the thief as his father and defects to the Jin people. What is the difference between betraying his ancestors?”
Everyone remained silent and bowed their heads one after another.
Most of the senior Liao people gathered in Lingqiu City were dissatisfied with Yelu Ding's bid for gold, and were also those who were blocked by Yelu Ding in Lingqiu and were about to give up.
They were resentful, but they were unwilling to scold Yelu Ding in front of Yan people.
Xiao Duolilai asked again: "Everyone, are my Daliao people willing to follow Yelu Ding to join the Jin people?"
Xiao Guan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Auntie, the rest of my Liao people are dissatisfied with Yelu Ding's investment in gold, but because all ten thousand troops under Yelu Ding's command were controlled by Guo Yaoshi, most of the tribe members could only be wrapped."
"The Jin people are like tigers, wolfs, birds and beasts, and they are unreliable at all. For the current plan, the Daliao people want to keep the ethnic group's fire, so they can only rely on the Dayan."
Xiao Duoli Lai looked around everyone and said word by word: "Your Majesty told me that he would leave a stable grazing place for the Khitan tribes to reproduce and reproduce."
"The Khitans surrendered to the Great Yan, but maintained relative autonomy and independence. Except for the inability of the Khitans to form an army, all affairs were taken care of by the King of Northern Liao, and the court would not intervene."
After Xiao Duolilai said that, a royal family named Yelu Zhong from the Northern Liao people said in a muffled voice: "I heard that the Empress has remarried the Emperor of Dayan. Empress, will the Emperor of Dayan really tolerate the Liao tribe?"
Xiao Duolilai's face turned slightly red: "The Emperor of Dayan treats me and Yelu Yuliyan very well. Your Majesty is kind and generous. His promises will never be light. You don't have to doubt it."
Yelu Yuliyan also opened his cherry lips lightly and said, "The emperor said, the world is so great that it can accommodate the Khitan tribe. At present, we Khitan people should stand with Dayan to resist the invasion of the Jin people and even destroy the Jin people.
The country, repay the hatred of being slaughtered by our country."
She thought for a while and said, "The Yan people are magnanimous and establish a country with Confucianism. At least they will not enslave and slaughter our people like the Jin people!"
All the Khitan nobles were a little moved. After all, they came to surrender to Yeluding and said that the country was restored was false, but just to find a backer and be able to survive in the future.
Otherwise, they would have to accept the Jin people's levies and taxes, burns, kills, and looting.
But they immediately remembered that they had been trapped in traps as bait, and the small town of Lingqiu was soon to be stepped into ruins by the iron hooves of the Jin army. Everything was just a fantasy, so they looked at each other and looked up at the sky
Sigh.
At this moment, the earth suddenly shook, like a dragon turning over.
Zhao Gou and other Yan ministers changed drastically.
Everyone rushed out of the county government, and there was already a mess outside. The earth was trembling constantly, and the rumbling horse hooves were like thunder.
Xiao Duoli Lai and Zhao Gou looked at each other quickly, and Lingqiu was besieged!
...
There were only one thousand personal troops of Xiao Guan in Lingqiu City, and then the five thousand soldiers and horses guarding the Dayan delegation.
The city gates were closed and the city defenses were everywhere. Xiao Guan actually knew that this was useless, but it was better than nothing.
What surprised Xiao Wan was that the commander of the Yan army, a handsome young man of 27 or 28, immediately led the Yan army to decisively take over the defense rights of Lingqiu City.
The five thousand Yan troops were distributed in various parts of the city defense and had begun to control the situation.
Xiao Duoli's eyes narrowed. It turned out that the general who led the army to Lingqiu was actually Wang Lin's confidant general, Yan Qing, commander of the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guard!
Then, this means that this army is not an ordinary Yan army, but an iron cavalry in brocade clothes!
The most powerful unit in the Yan army.
Xiao Duoli Lai's mind gradually calmed down.
Wang Lin arranged Yan Qing to come to Lingqiu, undoubtedly as a precaution. If something unexpected happens, Yan Qing will definitely bring people to rescue her and Yelu Yuliyan.
Xiao Duoli Lai's heart was slightly warm.
She subconsciously looked back at Yelu Yuliyan. The bright girl was already tearful and could not control her emotions.
