In the left-behind mansion, Yelu Hougu frowned, and after hearing Yelu Ren's words, he said angrily: "Their 100,000 troops attacked the city, wouldn't they spend it? If I don't offer the city, I will save a lot of trouble! I don't want to spend this little money, and I don't think this Song Dynasty will be like this!"

Yelu Xiantong said, "King, the Song army has seen it correctly. Datong Mansion is already their own business. The king has sacrificed the city and can only protect the king's safety. If they do not sacrifice the city, they will be afraid that they will take the king's life after they attacked in."

Xiao Xulie said: "After all, the Song army believes that the king's life is the greatest benefit."

After hearing this, Yelu Hougu refused to speak for a moment. They said it was right. It seemed that the Song army thought it was enough to save his life. But the huge Datong Mansion was really unwilling to give it up like this.

After a long time, Yelu Hougu said: "Don't hurry up in this matter, let me think about it."

After coming out of the official hall, Xiao Xulie said, "It seems to you, will Yelu Hougu offer the city? I see him very closely regarding the benefits."

Yelu Xiantong sighed: "It's just that we are really unlucky and actually do such a thing. But what can we do if we don't do it?"

Yelu Renxian said: "I advise you not to worry. In one or two days, Yelu Hougu should agree. If he doesn't agree, what should he use to defend Datong Mansion? Now he understands very clearly that it is indeed not difficult for the Song army to attack the city."

Yelu Xiantong and Xiao Xulie nodded: "I hope this is the case. After doing this, we will live some peaceful days."

After crossing the Yellow River, Du Zhongxiao looked outside the car window and green appeared faintly. Before he knew it, spring came.

Zhao Zhen and a group of ministers had already returned, and Du Zhongxiao took Zhao Zi and Li Fugui to clean up the mess. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the matter was roughly handled and they officially returned to Beijing. Fu Bi was appointed as the governor of Youping Road and was also the governor of Youzhou, and stayed.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Du Zhongxiao said, "It was late autumn when I went away, and early spring when I returned. Before I knew it, spring had arrived. Although this battle did not have particularly arduous battles, the impact was quite large. Since then, there have been no strong enemies around me, and many things have been different."

Zhao Zi said: "Yes, it's not a trivial matter to annihilate 400,000 main forces of the Khitan in one battle and 400,000 signings. Speaking of which, I don't know if there is such a big war in history. We people have also created history."

Du Zhongxiao said: "It should have happened in the pre-Qin period. But it was different at that time. All the people of all countries were soldiers, and the scale of the war was originally large."

In fact, Du Zhongxiao couldn't explain clearly that the number of people recorded in history was often inaccurate. Moreover, when sending troops, he often called him a few thousand to boost his momentum. In fact, there were not so many troops who actually participated in the war.

This time, the 550,000 troops participated in the war in the Song Dynasty were real. The number of civilians changed uncertainly, with about 500,000 people. Even if they were not falsely called the number, they could be said to have participated in the war in a million army. The Khitan main force, 400,000 troops signed, and a total of 800,000 troops. In this battle, the two sides fought for four months, and the scale should be unprecedented in history.

However, the strength of the two countries is too different, and the combat process is mediocre. Apart from being attacked by Quyang, the Song army has never been defeated. The Qianning Army City was fierce, but the Song army was training troops. In real combat, the Khitan was basically vulnerable.

What is the consequence of being vulnerable? Du Zhongxiao knew. In history, when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin soldiers, the Song army was vulnerable. The Jin army had 10,000 or 20,000 people, and they dared to cross dozens of states and sweep across several routes. The Song army could not stop it. Can the Song army destroy the Khitan now? It should be OK. However, the Song Dynasty was not the Jin Dynasty. It only wanted to win and did not dare to govern it at all, treating the people as grass. Therefore, after this war, it should be repaired for a period of time before it could advance northward. The situation in the Khitan is now uncontrollable and too lazy to care about it.

Thinking of this, Du Zhongxiao asked Zhao Zi: "How is Datong Mansion now? Yelu Fairy Tong, Yelu Renxian and Xiao Xulie went with him. These three people have noble status, and they all have their own royal family members. The treatment given to Yelu Sect is considered very high."

Zhao Zi said: "I received a report from Wang Kai at the station this morning. The Yelu Sect in the city has not yet decided. According to Yelu Renxian, Yelu Hougu is willing to offer the city, but he only needs some benefits. Wang Kai refused and was frozen there for a moment."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "What benefits are Yelu Sect willing to seek? Keeping his life is the greatest benefit. Can't you understand? Now the Khitan can resist the imperial army! He will not offer the city, and after the attack, he will be killed!"

Zhao Zi said: "Wang Kai and Hebin have never tried their best to attack the city. They put a lot of pressure on him, so they have such an idea. Wang Kai gave Yelu Sect three days to attack if he didn't offer the city. When the attack was broken, he would not need his consent."

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while and said, "Tell Wang Kai, if the Yelu Sect is willing to not offer the city, he will be killed after breaking the city! There will be more wars in the future, so set an example for the Khitan guards. Those who offer the city can protect the peace for a lifetime, and those who do not offer the city will be killed!"

Zhao Ziyingnuo.

Li Fugui said: "In the battle of Youzhou, although we fought easily, the Khitan generals in other places may not know. Perhaps, some people are lucky, and some are. When there are too many wars in the future, everyone will naturally understand."

"If you are lucky, you must have the awareness of losing your life!" Du Zhongxiao shook his head gently. "The army of the imperial court cannot accommodate them. Without Thunderbolt means, what else can you fight? Just like Yelu Hongji, if you weren't lucky, you wouldn't have surrendered so long and would have surrendered early."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zi asked, "Taiwei, Yelu Hongji doesn't bow his head, will he really put it in the prison camp?"

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "That's natural. In the prison camp, he has to do his job honestly to have daily meals. When will he really figure it out, he will release it. Not only Yelu Hongji, but all the Khitan generals who refused to surrender, entered the prison camp. These people are in good health and can still do a lot of work. If they make their own meals, the court will not support them in vain."

Although Yelu Hongji surrendered, he refused to bow his head to Zhao Zhen. According to Du Zhongxiao's suggestion, he was imprisoned in the prison camp. In order to prevent the Khitans from helping each other to cover up, all the important officials such as Yelu Hongji were detained to Kaifeng Prefecture. At that time, a prison camp was set up in Kaifeng to take care of them. Kaifeng Prefecture had more work to do, and the prison camp was just right.

After hearing Du Zhongxiao's words, Zhao Zi and Li Fugui looked at each other and were deeply moved. The emperor of a country should usually treat him with courtesy after being captured. If he is not convinced, he will at most he will kill him quietly, rather than be a prisoner of war. When the Song Dynasty was established, many countries were destroyed, and they were dealt with in this way. Except for the Qian family of Wu and Yue, who had always been rich in the Song Dynasty, most of the other royal families were like this.

The first thing to do was to put Yelu Hongji in the prison camp was that the Song Dynasty was confident that he was not afraid that the Khitans would be loyal to him and cause trouble again. Another thing was that he would not be regarded as the emperor of the Central Plains or the royal family that separatisted the regime, but as the leader of the barbarians.
