The next morning, Xiao Ge was lying in the mansion, and the guards hurriedly came to report. He got up reluctantly. Xiao Ge walked out of the bedroom and sternly said to the guards: "It's not dawn yet, why are you so anxious!"

The guard crossed his hands: "King, the Song army besieged the city outside!"

Xiao was shocked and did not fully react for a while. After a while, he said, "Where is the Song army? How many people are there?"

The guard said, "I can't tell where it came from, I only saw the city surrounded by many people."

Xiao Ge paced back and forth in the room, and after a while, he said, "I'll go and see."

After saying that, he took his entourage and quickly walked out of the government office and walked towards the city gate. He went up the city tower and looked outside. He saw that there were Song troops surrounded by the Song troops in the morning light, and he couldn't see how many people were. As far as he saw, Song troops were setting up cannons, as if they were going to attack the city.

Turning around suddenly, Xiao Ge said to the guards beside him: "When did the Song army come? Why are you so unhealthy to defend the city!"

The guard said awkwardly: "Go back to the king, I can't see clearly in the night. When there was skylight, I saw the Song army surrounding it--"

Xiao Ge knew that it must be the guards who were lazy at night, and it was useless to scold them now. He turned around and looked at the Song army outside the city, not knowing what to do for a moment. The first thing he contacted was Han Qi, but after Han Qi returned to Beijing, he changed it to Pang Ji, and he didn't know if they had made arrangements. These Song soldiers came from, why they suddenly surrounded here, and even more so whether there were any arrangements between Han Qi and Pang Ji.

Zhao Zi was at the city, watching the torches lit up on the city tower, and said, "I think it was Xiao Ge who had reported it and came to the city to see it. Let's wait a moment, and the sky is bright and send someone to the city. If Xiao Ge really opened the city and surrendered like what Mr. Han said, it would be better. If he did not surrender, there would be no way. We must conquer Shuozhou as fast as possible to prevent Yelu Hongji's army from entering the city when he went south."

Feng Jing, the deputy envoy on the side, said: "If we hadn't entered the city when Hong Ji came, it would be bad. There was a strong city in front and a large army in the back, so we could only withdraw our troops. If we did not capture Shuozhou City at this time, and come again in the future, we would have to fight against the enemy at Yanmen Pass."

Zhao Zi nodded: "Yes, this is the best time. It is best if Xiao Ge surrenders, saving us a lot of strength."

Xiao Ge looked on the city tower for a while, and in the morning light, he saw Song setting up a cannon position, busy and didn't know what to do for a while. After a long time, he said to the guard general: "You look at the Song army outside the city. Whenever they make any noise, they will report to the government office!"

After saying that, he got off the city tower and returned to the government office. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He had just arrived in Shuozhou yesterday. The Song army besieged the city this morning, and it must have been something that had been planned for a long time, otherwise it would have been just right. He had already agreed to surrender to Song. What does the Song army mean to do this? After thinking about it, he was puzzled and was extremely irritated for a moment.

Before the sun rose, the sky was already bright. Zhao Zi said to Feng Jing: "Xiao Ge is the most powerful figure under Yelu Chongyuan, and is not comparable to anyone else. Taiwei, or you can go to the city and talk to him in detail?"

Feng Jing crossed his hands and said, "Since the Grand Marshal gave the order, I will go to the city. No matter what, I will talk about it when I leave the city."

Zhao Zi agreed and sent a few trusted guards to the city with Feng Jing. He said that it was not to protect Feng Jing, and at least give him confidence.

Feng Jing returned to the camp to remove his armor, took the guards, and arrived at the city gate, and ordered people to call the city gate loudly.

Xiao Ge was restless in the government office. He listened to the guards' future and reported to the Song army to call the city. He hurriedly asked: "How many people are coming? If the city gate is opened, can the Song army rush in? Guarding the city is not a joke, you must check it carefully!"

The guard general crossed his hands and said, "King, this matter is important, it is better for you to go to the city tower in person."

Xiao Ge stood up and followed the guard to the city tower. Looking down, he saw a member of the Song general below, six guards behind him. The Song army behind him left more than 300 steps. It is estimated that if these people were allowed to enter the city, the Song army should not have time to attack.

After a slight feeling in his heart, Xiao Ge said sternly: "Open the city gate and let the Song envoy come in! Order the defenders on the city to prepare. If the Song army attacks the city, close the city gate immediately! The south of Shuozhou is Song territory, and we have no choice but to retreat, and we cannot retreat at all!"

The guard general obeyed the order, stretched his head out of the city, and said loudly to Feng Jing: "Listen to the envoy Song outside, the king will allow you to enter the city! When opening the city gate, the Song army behind him must not have any abnormal movement! Otherwise, close the city gate immediately and take your life!"

Feng Jing ordered someone to agree, and waited quietly outside. Soon, the city gate slowly opened, and a small team of Khitan soldiers came out and quickly surrounded Feng Jing and his party. A general looked at the Song army in the south, and saw that there was no abnormal movement, so he stepped forward to invite Feng Jing into the city.

Seeing that the city gate was closed and the Song army did not move, Xiao Ge let out a long sigh. After planning for several months, he could still be rich and prosperous after surrendering to the Song Dynasty, but he did not want an accident at this time.

Feng Jing followed the Khitan generals into the city gate. After leaving the city of Wucheng, he saw that Shuozhou was very quiet and had no intention of urgently mobilizing and fighting, so he knew it. Xiao Ge brought Chongyuan here and had no way out. He thought he would sacrifice the city smoothly.

When he arrived at the government office, Feng Jing saw that Xiao Ge was already sitting there and went forward to salute and said, "Feng Jing, deputy commander of the Dingxi Army, has met the king."

Zhao Zi's Dingxi Army has made many military achievements in recent years and is quite famous in this area. When he heard that it was them, Xiao Ge was very convinced. Feng Jing was the deputy commander of the Dingxi Army. He was originally an eunuch, who had been to take over Hequ Road, but later transferred to this position. As an eunuch, Feng Jing was a military supervisor, which was a common practice in the Hequ Road Army. For Xiao Ge, the eunuch had a close relationship with the emperor and was more trustworthy.

Asking Feng Jing to sit down, Xiao Ge said, "I don't know if the Grand Marshal enters the city at this time, what advice do you have?"

Feng Jing said: "I heard that Hong Ji's army has approached Datong Prefecture, and the king retreated to Shuozhou, and it is already at a loss. Why not abandon the secret and turn to the light? This dynasty is eager to seek talents. If you get the king, you will definitely use it. You will never be able to enjoy wealth in the future."

Xiao Ge said: "I am appointing the king's title and have unlimited power. How can I abandon the country?"

After saying that, he saw Feng Jing's eyes keep looking at the people around him, and his eyes were full of vigilance. He knew in his heart that Feng Jing was afraid that he could not control Shuozhou City, and that there were other things here and that he was unsafe to speak. He said, "It's okay if you have something to say. This is my closest person, and he can trust you the most."

Feng Jing smiled and said, "If this is the case, I will just say it's okay. The Korean grandson of the North and Pang grandson of Hedong Road have always admired the king. There are two letters from them here, and I will take them with you. Please check it out."

After saying that, he took two letters from him and gave them to Xiao Ge.

Xiao Ge was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered someone to come and watch it himself. These days, he has been in contact with Han Qi and Pang Ji, and he really couldn't believe the others. I heard that there were their letters, so I think this was arranged.

After opening the letter and reading the content, Xiao Ge was very convinced. Han Qi and Pang Ji said something similar, and both introduced that Zhao Zi's troops had been arranged to come and receive the response. Xiao Ge asked Xiao Ge to show his peace of mind. Pang Ji mentioned more arrangements in his letter, saying that he had led his troops to Daizhou, and as long as Xiao Ge showed his city, he could bring troops to Shuozhou immediately. With the support of the Song Dynasty army, there was no need to be afraid of Yelu Hongji.

Putting down the letter, Xiao Ge bowed to Feng Jing: "So it was arranged by your besiege, Han and Pang?"

Feng Jing said: "It was indeed arranged by my husband when I returned to the king. There was Yanmen Pass in Daizhou, so it was difficult for Mr. Pang to come. Therefore, we ordered us to set out from Biedouzhai and come to Shuozhou early. As long as the king Xiancheng and we sweep the surrounding areas, Mr. Pang can come from Daizhou."

"The best, it's best!" Xiao Ge was overjoyed when he heard this. "Have the Taiwei used food? Let's use some wine and rice, prepare this matter calmly!"

Feng Jing bowed: "King, the army is outside the city, and there are many inconveniences. Why not open the city gate early and welcome Zhao Taiwei into the city. Can everyone have a drink?"

Xiao Ge was a little hesitant for a moment. As soon as he opened the city gate, he would go to rest in everything he had in the past, and he had entered the hands of the Song people. Although there was actually no way out now, Xiao Ge still missed this powerful time, and it would be good to be able to delay for a moment.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ge made a fuss and said, "It's right for the Taiwei to do this. The people in this city are all my confidants, so let them open the city! The Taiwei and I will go to welcome the Taiwei Zhao outside the city!"
