Xiongzhou Supervisor and Du Zhongxiao handed the official documents to Fu Bi and said, "The emperor decided to go to the army in person and discuss how to welcome him."

Fu Bi was shocked, hurriedly took the official document and read it carefully. He said to Du Zhongxiao: "Now that Youzhou has been gone, the main force of the Khitan is surrounded by Wuqing area. He lacks food and clothing and will perish soon. At this time, why did the emperor personally fight?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "With the convenient railway connection and it is a sure victory. What's wrong with the personal expedition?"

This question is why Zhao Zhen personally fought at this time? Of course, the battle was about to be won and Youzhou was recovered. Come and have a trip. The result of this battle was too great, and only Du Zhongxiao and Fu Bi could not bear it. Not to mention the old sayings such as defeating Yan Yun as the king, just destroying the main force of the Khitan in one battle and shaking the world, the two Privy Councilors should not have received this merit alone.

It is useless for Zhao Zhen to come at this time, and the end of the war is already destined. When he comes, the halo of victory is mostly draped on the emperor. It is beneficial to boost the morale of the Song Dynasty.

Of course, for Du Zhongxiao and Fu Bi, the merit is still merit, and it will not be reduced by half. It is just some embarrassing things, such as whether to be granted a king or not, how much reward should be given, it is not so embarrassing to do.

Apart from some false reputation and etiquette, the most important thing about being a king is salary, and there is no big difference in actual power. Du Zhongxiao did not rely on his own salary to live, nor did he value false reputation, and did not expect to be a king. What's the use of being a king? He did not pass on his descendants. After this battle, he could be the prime minister and go further in his career. The most important thing is to destroy the Khitan, and this official position would be much easier.

After pondering for a while, Fu Bi quickly figured out the interests. He said, "The emperor personally fought for the army, and it's not a small matter. Should we summon all the commanders and commanders to face the army together? But now we are surrounding Yelu Hongji, afraid that they will be summoned, and there will be another change on the front line."

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's okay. The Khitan army has been surrounded and has no food and grass, so it's impossible to break through. Several commanders come and will not affect the deployment. Not only the commanders of each commander, but it's best for the commander of the division commander to come together. Especially the army of Ma Huaide, the division leader in the army has been promoted recently and has never met the king. This time, the great victory on the front line and the emperor personally fights, is what should be done."

Fu Bi nodded: "As long as it does not affect the war, it is best. By the way, the emperor must go to Youzhou when he comes here."

Du Zhongxiao said: "That's natural. Youzhou is a major northern place, not comparable to other places. When the priest comes up, he will naturally go. Zhang Yu's Dragon Guards have just gathered in Xiongzhou and have not yet gone to Wuqing, so they just happened to be the priest's guard. After going to Youzhou, go to Wuqing and annihilate the main force of the Khitan."

Fu Bi couldn't help but frown: "It's been a few days since we've surrounded the Khitan army, so it's better to wait any longer. It's better for the priest to arrive, go to Wuqing first, annihilate the Khitans, and then go to Youzhou?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "The Khitans have no food, so they will be able to fight for a day. In recent days, more than 10,000 signing troops have surrendered. If they surround them for a while, it is estimated that more people will surrender. If the Khitans and the Xi people do not surrender, those signing troops will not die in vain."

Fu Bi nodded: "What I said is that the Khitans' food route has been cut off, and Youzhou cannot find food. Alas, I didn't expect this war to end up like this. When the Khitans came, they were aggressive, but they were defeated when they fought."

Du Zhongxiao nodded after hearing this. Not to mention Fu Bi, even himself, he did not expect that the combat power gap between the two armies would be so big. Only the imperial guards who were trained on Hebei Road faced some difficulties due to the inadequate officers and lack of rich experience in the early days. After fighting for a few days, they quickly matured. Now Ma Huaide's 100,000 people are also one of the strong troops, and they are not something that the Khitans can face.

At this moment, Zhao Zi came in and said, "The news I just received was that another 8,000 signing troops on the front line surrendered. According to them, the food in the Khitan barracks was about to be cut off. The Khitans did not sign the military food and grass, and regardless of their life or death, they could only surrender."

Fu Bi said: "In this way, the Khitan army is afraid that it will not be able to support it anymore. Taiwei, if the emperor does not come, what should I do if Yelu Hongji surrenders?"

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while and shook his head: "There is no way, and surrender is not enough. The battle cannot be over before the Lord of the Lord arrives. Even if all Yelu Hongji's subordinates surrender, they will leave him there and wait for the Lord of the Lord to come."

Zhao Zi laughed when he heard this: "At this time, I'm afraid that the Khitans on the front line have no hope. The army surrounded them, without food and grass, and they couldn't see a way out. I heard that what Yelu Hongji told his subordinates now was that reinforcements would arrive soon in Zhongjing Road. But in Youzhou, Liu Ji was very strict in defense, so where were there any reinforcements in Zhongjing Road? Yelu Hongji was just talking nonsense."

Fu Bi said, "What's the solution? Did he tell his subordinates a dead end? He ordered the surrounding troops to make careful arrangements and not cause any trouble at this time. The emperor will arrive the next day and we are ready to welcome him."

Outside Wuqing City, Yelu Hongji's big tent. Yelu Fairy Tong came in and saluted: "Your Majesty, there are 8,000 signing troops, and they are not strict in the guards for a while, so they are sent to the Song army. The army lacks food and grass, and people are inevitably panic."

Yelu Hongji waved his hand: "Those signing troops are useless, and now they are just consuming food. The situation is so difficult. From tomorrow, we will stop the signing troops from the signing troops. Let them die on their own without having to worry about it."

Yelu Xiantong hesitated: "If these sign-in troops join the Song army, it will be a future problem after all. If the battle formation is not useful, it is still useful to transport grain. The Song army has a large army of 500,000 or 600,000 troops in this area, and it is not easy to supply grain. There are too many sign-in troops invested, so I am afraid that the Song army will use them to transport grain."

After hearing this, Yelu Hongji was silent for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Then tell Yelu Yixin to kill all the signing troops!"

Yelu Xiantong was startled and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I don't mean this. They don't eat much food, so they can reduce the food half so that they don't escape to the Song people. The war is not good now, if you kill your own soldiers-"

"What are your own soldiers? The Song army came and surrendered to the enemy and killed them!" Yelu Hongji's face was as deep as water. "Now everything is difficult, so I can only try my best to ensure military food. When the situation changes, get out of the siege."

Yelu Fairy Tong wants to say something else, Yelu Hongji waved his hand and asked him to go out.

After leaving the commander's tent, Yelu Xiantong sighed. Although the sign army was summoned from nearby state troops, the Khitan army did not regard them as their own people. They ordered them to be killed, and they were really good at it. Now they are surrounded on all sides and there are no reinforcements outside. What would happen if they killed their sign army?

Yelu Fairy Tong didn't dare to think. He looked up at the sky and saw the sun was bleak. The wind was not strong, but it was extremely cold. Looking at the soldiers next to him, they all looked listless. Not far away, there were several soldiers killing horses, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

For nomadic peoples, horses were originally their own companions and were well taken care of. But until now, when the food route was broken, the horses began to become food. At first, someone ate dead horses, and then killed those thin or sick horses. In a few days, all the horses in the army might become military food. After killing the horses, how can they fight with the Song people? Who cares, they must live first.

Zhang Kui had occupied Pingzhou and left 5,000 people to guard it. The army returned to Wuqing. Now in the north of Wuqing, there are Jia Kui, Liangtai, Dou Shunqing and Liu Jianji's four armies, plus Zhang Kui's 45,000 and 250,000 troops. To the south are Shisanlang, Liu Huan's 100,000, and Ma Huaide's 100,000 and 200,000 troops. A total of 450,000 troops surrounded the Khitans.

These days, the Khitans kept breaking through the siege. After trying countless times, they finally realized that all their troops could not break the defense line of any army. All the roads around had been blocked.

As the saying goes, the road is over, the Khitan army has reached its end. Hundreds of thousands of people are waiting for the Song army to launch an attack and end all this.
