"Look, what flag does the Xi people on the opposite side have fired?" Jia Kui pointed to the front and pulled Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji picked up the telescope, looked at it for a while, and said, "A white flag with the word "subduing". What does this mean? Are the Xi people going to surrender? Our cannons have just been in place, and we just saw that we only need to fire the cannons behind us."

Jia Kui said, "Taiwei, it seems that the Xi people can't stand it, they are going to surrender. We cannot take the initiative to report to Taiwei Du."

Zhang Ke nodded and called his personal soldiers to come and asked him to go to the city wall to ask Du Zhongxiao. Although Zhao Zhen personally fought, the front-line commander was still Du Zhongxiao. Du Zhongxiao was responsible for the matter on the battlefield.

On the top of the city, Du Zhongxiao was with his ministers to accompany Zhao Zhen to watch the war. Suddenly, his personal soldiers came over and said, "Taiwei, Zhang Ji sent someone to report just now. The Xi people in front of him raised a flag to lower the flag. I don't know what to do, so I'll ask for a commander."

Du Zhongxiao picked up the telescope and looked at the Xiren army formation. However, the smoke filled the gunpowder and could not see clearly. He turned around and ordered the personal soldiers sent by Zhang Ji to come over and ask carefully. Finally, he said: "Go back and tell Zhang Ji that the artillery should stop for the time being, let the Xiren send capable people to come over, and everything should be discussed in detail."

The personal soldiers crossed their hands and said, and got off the city tower, rode on a fast horse and rushed back.

Du Zhongxiao bowed to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, what should I do if the Xi surrenders?"

Zhao Zhen said: "It is bully to kill and surrender, we don't do that kind of thing. As long as the Xi people really want to surrender, they will naturally be able to be sure. The Xi people have a close relationship with the Khitans, and they surrender, which is not a good thing for the Khitan army."

Du Zhongxiao said that he was. He had to accept surrender in the battle formation. As for how to arrange it after surrender, it was the matter of the Song Dynasty. Although the Xi people were also mostly in the grassland, they were much smaller than the Khitan. In order to enter the grassland, the Song Dynasty needed people to be the leader.

Seeing that the Song army opposite stopped artillery, Xi Maliu said to Asu: "At this point, I am the only one to meet the Song army generals in person. After I leave, you will lead the entire army. Remember, don't make trouble!"

Asu crossed his hands: "King, the attitude of the Song army is unknown, how can we make a light appearance? We are willing to leave at the end, so please think twice!"

Xi Maliu sighed: "What's the use of saying this? If we don't surrender, can we survive? I just don't go, and I will die in the end. It's better to go there yourself and be a clear way."

After saying that, he patted Asu on the shoulder and called a few personal soldiers to go to Song Jun ahead.

Zhang Ke and Jia Kui saw a general and his personal soldiers coming to their army. They came down from the tower and ordered the general to come over.

Xi Maliu arrived in front of Zhang Ji and Jia Kui, crossed his hands and said, "I am the king of Xi Liu tribe, Xi Maliu. Today, the entire army is surrounded by you, and it is unreasonable. The subordinates are all young and strong in the headquarters, and the entire clan's livelihood is where the whole clan lives. If all of them die here, the elders of the clan do not know how to survive. We have already lost this battle, so we are willing to ask your army's subordinates to show mercy to keep the lives of the sons."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Ji and Jia Kui and said, "I wonder if the two names of Gao?"

Zhang Kui said, "My name is Zhang Kui. This one is Jia Kui, the commander of the two armies fighting with you. In today's battle, the emperor commanded the army and Du Taiwei personally commanded the city. If you want to surrender, you have to go to the city. It is better to have met the Taiwei."

Xi Ma Liudao: "It turns out that it is Zhang and Jia two Taiwei. It is better to meet than to be famous. Today's defeat is convinced!"

Zhang Kui looked at Jia Kui, and the two of them smiled. They were convinced. It was not because the Xi people were not fighting well today. In fact, they did not even have the ability to fight back. Since they were surrounded by Wuqing City, they were defeated.

Zhang Ke called his own soldiers and took Xi Maliu to the top of Wuqing City to meet Du Zhongxiao.

Seeing someone entering the city, Zhao Zhen said, "I don't know who is coming? If you are an unimportant person, you should not believe it easily."

Du Zhongxiao said, "Which other person can the Xi people send? Eight or nine out of ten people came, Xi Maliu, the king of Xi's tribe. If he hadn't come, he would have driven the people back."

Fu Bi said: "The King of Xi is the lord of the Xi people. How could he come here easily? When he comes, what should the army behind him do?"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "Taiwei, he just won't come. Can he save his life? If we are defeated in this battle, if we do not agree to their surrender, the artillery will be killed and there will be no one living person."

While talking, Xi Maliu followed his personal soldiers to the city tower. Seeing many ministers standing there, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Du Zhongxiao said sternly: "When I get here, I won't pay homage to the imperial guards!"

Xi Maliu was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on his knees, bowing and saying, "Defeated general Xi Maliu, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen was stunned. Unexpectedly, Xi Maliu was really excited. Although the King of the Xi tribe was appointed by the Khitan, he was the leader of the Xi tribe. After all, he surrendered, which means that the Xi people surrendered. This was an amazing thing in the past, but now the Khitan is about to perish and it seems not that important. As an emperor, seeing the enemy surrendered, it was really glorious.

After ordering Xi Ma Liu to calm down, Zhao Zhen said: "Your troops came to invade our dynasty with the Khitans. What else can you say until today?"

Xi Ma Liudao: "This clan is affiliated with the Khitans. If the Khitans have their own destiny, how can they not come? Fortunately, this time, your country came to the south, and your country has been firmly clearing the country's borders and clearing the fields, and there has never been a formal war. Following the Khitan invasion south, it is naturally a crime of never redeeming it. Please ask Your Majesty to remember that he did not kill anyone and spare his life."

Zhao Zhen said to Du Zhongxiao: "Taiwei, since the Xi tribe has surrendered, should we forgive them?"

Du Zhongxiao said, "Everyone has its own rules. Since you want to surrender, then follow the rules. Xi Maliu, go back now and tell your subordinates that we will allow you to surrender. Everything is subject to the orders of Zhang Ji on the front line, and there must be no disobedience. If there is someone who obeys the orders, behead you immediately!"

Seeing Du Zhongxiao's expression was firm, Xi Maliu hurriedly crossed his hands: "Please don't worry, you will never have it."

Du Zhongxiao nodded, called the personal soldiers of the command, and said, "Go and tell Zhang Ji and Jia Kui that the people of Xi will surrender. The artillery ceased, and the infantry will not move. Send troops and order the people of Xi to lay down their weapons and follow them to the north of Wuqing to obey the order. If someone resists the order, he will be executed immediately! Xi Maliu will go back and tell the people of our troops and be prepared. After everything is right, go and tell Zhang Ji. If you don't go back, or you miss the time, order Zhang Ji and Jia Kui to fire immediately! From then on, don't mention the surrender again!"

The personal soldiers crossed their hands and sang loudly. Xi Maliu listened on the side, and a sense of fear arose in his heart.

Zhao Zhen looked at Du Zhongxiao and sighed in his heart. When he met Du Zhongxiao in the past, he was always a gentle and civil servant. Even when he was talking about military knowledge, he was well organized and explained the truth clearly. Unexpectedly, when he was leading the army, the military discipline would be strict and would not be in the slightest. Thinking about it, it should be like this. If you can train the Yingtianxiang Army and lead hundreds of thousands of troops, how could you always be gentle and drizzle? If you lead hundreds of thousands of troops, you must be the commander. Without this majesty, it is really not suitable to be a Privy Councilor.

Seeing Xi Maliu leaving, Han Qi said, "Looking at Xi Maliu's appearance, the Xi people should have surrendered. Without the Xi people, the right wing of the Khitan will be completely exposed to our army. Let Zhang Ji and Jia Kui take a break and attack Yelu Hongji's right wing."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "What my husband said is that looking at the Khitans, they have a sense of fighting to the end. If they have this intention, we will of course fulfill them. One hour later, Zhang Ke and Jia Kui joined the attack on Yelu Hongji."

The military formation on the battlefield is a whole. Once it is broken through a little, the situation cannot be maintained. When the Xi tribe descended, the right wing of the Khitans opened wide. Zhang Ke and Jia Kui joined the battle group, and the Khitans' defeat quickly accelerated.
