Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol inducing it. Wu Min was very happy tonight, without any official airs, and soon became familiar with Li Daqi.

But Wu Min always firmly grasped the uniqueness of the officials. He did not lose his mouth at all, and his voice was just right, and he spoke in a low voice less mysteriously, but the drinker sitting next to him couldn't hear clearly what he was saying?

"Ten days ago, the day when the imperial court stipulated that the north attack was launched. Yanqing made great contributions on the first day and accepted Guo Yaoshi's surrender..."

"Who is this pharmacist Guo?" Li Daqi couldn't help but interrupt and asked in a low voice.

"He is not an ordinary person. He is the highest general of the Han people in the Liao army, commanding the eight thousand Han troops. His surrender was a heavy blow to the Liao court and the army. Therefore, the emperor personally summoned him in Yanchun Palace, granted him an official title, and gave him a beautiful house in the capital."

Gu Qian, a clerk from the Secretariat next to him, added, "This Guo Yaoshi is very good at speaking. He said that although he is a Han Chinese, he is loyal to the Liao Kingdom and is determined to fight against the Jin Kingdom for the Liao Kingdom. He has no other intentions. However, the senior officials of the Liao Kingdom must kill him and avoid future troubles because of the Li Chuwen case. He was desperate and surrendered to the Song Dynasty. He spoke in tears, and even the emperor was moved by him."

Li Daqi sighed softly, "If this person is either Dazhong or a traitor, I hope Yanqing will not have too much connection with him!"

Gu Qian picked up the wine glass and smiled slightly, "Even if Yanqing wants to have something to do with him, he still doesn't like it!"

Li Daqi was stunned for a moment, "What does this mean?"

Wu Min was also a little curious. He knew that Gu Qian was often by the emperor. When Guo Yaoshi was granted the title, he was also on the side. Wu Min also smiled and said, "Brother Gu might as well talk."

Gu Qian drank all the cup and said calmly: "Master Guo hopes that he can lead his old subordinates to conquer the Liao Kingdom for the Song Dynasty. The emperor happily agreed and prepared to grant him the deputy commander and follow the Master Zong, but Master Guo said that he hopes to follow Tong Guan...."

Speaking of this, Gu Qian deliberately stopped for a moment. He looked at Li Daqi's shocked expression and said lightly: "What kind of temple is for the gods? How can the land temple of Zhong Shidao offer to Guo Yaoshi, a crossing dragon? So he eventually went to follow Tong Guan and had no chance with Zhong Shidao."

Li Daqi nodded silently. When he understood, he responded to the old saying, "If it's not a family, it's better if he doesn't enter the family, his son can stay away from a person like Guo Yaoshi who is tempted by the incest.

At this time, Tang Zhengzong, who had not spoken next to him, couldn't help but ask: "Is it true that the rumor in the city that the Empress Dowager of Liao had decided to surrender to the Song Dynasty?"

Wu Min nodded with a smile, "This is true. This morning, the imperial court and the Liao envoy have reached an agreement to accept the surrender of the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom has appointed the nobles of the Liao Kingdom with its official position in the Song Dynasty, and the Liao Kingdom handed over the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun."

"What about the Jin Kingdom?" Li Daqi felt something was wrong. If Song and Liao reached such an agreement, how could the Jin Kingdom stay out of the matter?

"This should have nothing to do with the Jin Kingdom. It is clearly stated in the Song and Jin alliance that the Great Wall is bounded by the Song and Jin Dynasty, so the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun should belong to the Song Dynasty."

Li Daqi himself is a businessman and is deeply influenced by his son. He disagreed with Wu Min's words. He shook his head gently and said, "The Jin Kingdom spent money and food to attack Youzhou, but in the end he didn't get anything. How could it agree?"

Wu Min smiled and said, "This is not a matter of buying a house and land that you can regret at any time. This is an agreement between the two countries. With the signatures and seals of the monarchs of the two countries, how can it be easily abolished? Don't worry! The Jin Kingdom will not get nothing. At least they can get the annual tuition of the Liao Kingdom in the past. I think it should be no big problem."

Li Daqi no longer said anything. He was just a businessman. Major affairs in the court had nothing to do with him. He only cared about his son's safety. Since the Song and Liao dynasties had reached an agreement, his son should go home soon.

Thinking of this, Li Daqi completely let go of his heart. He raised his glass and smiled: "I will treat you today, come! I will give you another cup to the two officials."

The negotiations between the Song and Liao countries took a full seven days, and the two countries finally reached an agreement. The Song Dynasty agreed to retain the titles of the nobles of the Liao Kingdom and give them equal rewards with the titles of the Song Dynasty. It also agreed to continue to respect Empress Dowager Xiao as the Princess of Liao and raise them in the Song Palace. The Khitans were placed in Hexi. The Liao Kingdom had to abolish the national name and return it to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Song Dynasty.

This result made Emperor Zhao Ji very happy. Although the agreement still required the signature of Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao to take effect before it was officially implemented, Zhao Ji could not wait. He immediately issued an order to officially rename the Xijin Prefecture of Liao to Yanjing Prefecture and rename the capital of Liao to Yanjing.

At the same time, Zhao Ji sent two groups of gold letters to Yizhou and Zhuozhou to inform Tong Guan and Zhong Shidao to accept Yanjing Prefecture.

In the early morning, on the official road south of Yizhou, three cavalrymen were running fast on their horses. Today's autumn came particularly early. A strong wind blew up dead leaves all over the ground, flying in the air like yellow butterflies. The three cavalrymen did not stop at all, passing through the flying dead leaves and continued to run north.

One hour later, the three cavalry finally arrived at the camp of the Song Army West Road outside Yizhou City.

The Song army in the west of Yizhou camp had a total of 120,000 troops. This was Tong Guan's combat style, and all the troops were concentrated on the whole line. Although there were only a few soldiers left in the Zhending Prefecture line in Baozhou and Zhending Prefecture, Tong Guan didn't care.

Tong Guan received an urgent order from the emperor six days ago, telling him not to attack Yanjing Prefecture for the time being, and to wait for the negotiation results between the Song and Liao countries to come out before taking action.

Although Tong Guan was impatient and led his army to attack Yanjing Mansion, Tong Guan was a senior official of the court after all, and he did not dare to disobey the emperor's imperial edict easily. Otherwise, even if he seized Yanjing, he would have made no contribution.

Tong Guan has been anxious these days, waiting for the outcome of the Song and Liao negotiations. Although Zhong Shidao seized the opportunity with Li Yanqing's raid on Zhuozhou, as the Song and Liao negotiations began, Tong Guan and Zhong Shidao were on the same starting line again.

Whoever can seize Yanjing first means who can get the will of Emperor Shenzong to be named king. How could Tong Guan not be anxious? For several days, he has been restless and has been waiting for news from the capital.

At this moment, a personal soldier reported outside the tent, "Report to the Grand Marshal, Baozhou has an urgent letter to deliver it!"

Tong Guan almost jumped up, "Quick... Let the reporter come in!"

The pigeon letter from the capital could not be delivered to Yizhou, so the northernmost part could only be delivered to Baozhou, and then Baozhou sent someone to deliver it to him. Tong Guan immediately realized that there must be news in the capital.

After a moment, the three leaders of the cavalry who delivered the letter walked into the big tent and knelt down on one knee and said, "I am ordered to send a letter to the Taiwei!"

"Where is the letter?"

The cavalry immediately took out a sealing tube and handed it to Tong Guan. Tong Guan trembled with his hands, poured out a small bamboo tube from it, and pulled out a small roll of white silk from the bamboo tube. It was the pigeon letter sent by his confidant from the capital. He carefully unfolded the pigeon letter. As he expected, the Song and Liao countries had reached an agreement, and the emperor Zhao Ji had issued an order to make him and Zhong Shidao immediately march towards Yanjing Prefecture.

How smart Tong Guan was, he could see the emperor's anxiety at once. This kind of negotiation requires the monarchs of the two countries to print and exchange texts before it can take effect. As soon as the negotiations were over, the emperor couldn't wait to issue an order to accept Yanjing Prefecture. How anxious is this?

Of course, Yanjing City should have known the negotiation results at this time, and the Liao envoy will definitely notify Yanjing in time with an eagle letter.

Tong Guan pondered for a moment and asked, "How much time did you take to come from Baozhou?"

"Report to the Grand Marshal, the three of us rode six horses and arrived at the camp in just one night."

Tong Guan quickly estimated the time in his heart. The pigeon letter was sent out at noon yesterday, arrived in Baozhou in the evening, and rushed to him for another night. The capital city usually set off in the afternoon. Even if you use gold letters to deliver it, it will take two and a half days to arrive in Fanyang County, Zhuozhou at the earliest.

In fact, I have been nearly two days longer than Master Zhong. Although Fanyang County is closer to Yanjing than me, I have two days to travel, so I should be able to arrive in Yanjing one step faster than Master Zhong.

Thinking of this, Tong Guan immediately walked out of the tent and ordered: "Tell me my order, the central army and the front army gather and prepare to set off!"

Just half an hour later, Tong Guan personally commanded the 50,000 troops to the camp and headed north. They did not carry baggage, each carrying only five days of dry food, and rushed towards the northeast Yanjing Mansion. Tong Guan believed that the Liao envoy in the capital had told Empress Xiao the results of the negotiations in an eagle letter that as long as he arrived in Yanjing, Empress Xiao would definitely surrender.

In fact, any general would see that such a light army is not suitable to go north, and it poses great hidden dangers. As the Taiwei Tong Guan, who has been leading the army for 30 years, should know that it is not suitable to take risks. Unfortunately, Tong Guan is a mystery to the authorities. He has been blinded by the king who has been looking forward to for ten years. He was afraid that he would be taken first by Zhong Shidao, so he sent troops north regardless of his fate.

Just as Tong Guan's army left, several letter eagles soared into the air from the nearby mountains and forests, hovering towards the northeast.
