The raging fire made the hall hot, and Ye Li Renrong, dressed in winter clothes, was a little hot, but Zhang Zhi on one side looked faint and had no expression. Yuan Hao sat next to the fire, holding a wine pot in one hand and a piece of meat in the other hand.

After taking a sip of wine, Yuanhao threw the wine pot on the ground and asked the two people standing in front with red eyes: "Dou Weiji said he couldn't hold on and even said the words to surrender. How many days have passed? Why is the Xishou Military Supervisor still there? Tell me, is the Song army not that powerful? Dou Weiji has a strange ambition?"

Zhang Zhi looked calm and said lightly: "Wuzhu, the Song army is also attacking us. How powerful are they? King Yeli will not tell lies, right? There must be monsters when things happen. The Song army can capture the Xishou Military Supervisory Office, but it has been slow, so I am afraid that the plan is not small."

"Photo? What can they do? I don't want that military supervisor, what else can they do?" Yuan Hao said, grabbing the wine pot on the ground, tilted his head and took a big sip of wine.

Zhang Zhi said: "The only one in Tiandu Mountain is worthy of the Song army's efforts. I think not attacking Dou Weiji is the Song army's delayed strategy. I am afraid that they are dispatching troops here and want to trap Wuzhu to death in Tiandu Mountain."

The wine pot in Yuanhao's hand was parked in the air, listening quietly, without saying anything.

Yeri Renrong stepped forward and said, "Wuzhu, what Mr. Zhang said is so much, you should think twice."

Yuan Hao slowly lowered the wine pot, turned his back to the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Do they still have military orders?"

"As far as we know, there is Cao Keming's army in Huizhou in Longyou, with no less than 10,000 people. Moreover, the troops on Jingyuan Road have not moved, so there are tens of thousands of people. Although a large group of troops on Huanqing Road went to attack Baibao City, Qingzhou can also gather tens of thousands of people for the remaining troops. If the two groups of troops gather together to gather the Rong army, it would not be easy for us to leave Tiandu Mountain."

After hearing Nori Inrong's words, Yuanhao sneered and asked, "What should we do? Are we sitting here waiting to die?"

Zhang Zhi signaled to Yeli Renrong and stepped forward and walked forward: "Wuzhu, there is no other way at this time, so we must make a quick decision. Dou Weiji's place is no longer in charge. Wuzhu should immediately lead the army out of the mountain and attack the Zhenrong army. No matter whether it can attack or not, he cannot stay there for a long time, and then turn north and guard the road to Weizhou. In this way, Tiandu Mountain has been around for a long time, and we can still rely on Weizhou to deal with the Song army. As long as Weizhou is still there, the Song army will not dare to attack Lingzhou. They must always prevent us from cutting off its retreat!"

Yuan Hao turned around, the redness in his eyes had faded, his face became much quieter, and he asked Yeli Renrong: "Uncle also thinks so? Weizhou is much worse than Tiandu Mountain. How long can we stay there?"

Yeli Renrong said: "As long as we defend Weizhou and Mingsha County, Baoxing and Lingzhou are safe, we will have the capital to confront the Song army. As long as we can persist, there will always be a way, and we will usher in a turning point!"

"Where is Hexi? Do you want several counties in Hexi?"

Yuanhao asked about the land in Hexi, but Zhang Zhi and Ye Li Renrong didn't speak. Now it was a question whether he could save himself, and he could still care about where he could go. It was already a matter of hope to exchange land in Hexi for the Great Song Dynasty to withdraw troops.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Yuan Hao was not entangled in this issue. If he was crazy, he still had the judgment of a commander who had been fighting for many years. Ma Yanshan and Tiandushan were all in the hands of the Song Dynasty. It would be impossible to save the land of Hexi. The road to the connection between the two sides was cut off. In the future, whether to let the garrisons in the west observe the changes, or to completely give up there and come to support the Yellow River line, are nothing more than these two choices, and most of them are the latter one.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Hao said to Zhang Zhi: "Is the turning point that my husband is talking about? Is it the Khitan side?"

Zhang Zhi nodded: "Yes, now only the Khitan can help us. Taizu and Taizong can fight with the Song Dynasty for decades, all of which are relying on the power of the Khitan. Wuzhu let go of his momentary spirit and wrote a letter to the Khitan to repair it."

Zhao Deming once asked Yuan Hao to marry Yuan Hao. Ye Li Zongzhen married Yuan Hao as his royal family daughter, and became Princess Xingping. When Deming was alive, he had some control over Yuan Hao, and the marriage made the relationship between the two countries good. However, as soon as Deming died, Yuan Hao had a conflict with Princess Xingping, and the relationship between the two countries began to deteriorate. Especially after Ye Li Zongzhen gradually got rid of the control of his mother Xiao Nojin and truly grasped the power of the Khitan, he was very vigilant against the ambitious Yuan Hao and forbidden envoys from buying copper and iron in the Khitan, and began to adopt a certain degree of economic sanction. In the first year of Baoyuan, Princess Xingping died, and Yelu Zongzhen sent the Northern Court to receive the order Ye Li Shucheng to hold the imperial edict to question, and the relationship between the two countries fell to freezing point. By the time Yuan Hao became independent, he rebelled against Song and Khitan at the same time, and had become an enemy country.

Just in terms of the personal relationship between emperors, Yuan Hao and Ye Lizongzhen's relationship was much worse than Zhao Zhen. Therefore, the Song Dynasty and Dangxiang started a war, and the Khitan kept watching. Ye Lizongzhen also wanted to fight Yuan Hao, but it was not as convenient as the Song Dynasty.

After all, the relationship between the two countries does not depend on the likes and dislikes of the emperor. Even if he endures disgust and feels humiliated, Yuan Hao can only ask for help from the Khitan. Ye Lizong really looks down on Yuan Hao anymore. For the sake of the Khitan's interests, he will most likely find a helping hand. But the support is too great, Dangxiang cannot count on it. It would be great to be able to ensure that this country can survive.

Yuan Hao pondered for a long time and nodded: "If Lord Liao wants to reconcile, why don't I bow my head for the time being? A real man can bend and stretch, but it's just because of the situation. I can endure this moment, overcome the difficulties and find it twice as much!"

Zhang Zhi let out a long sigh: "If Wuzhu thinks like this, then everything will turn around! For the current plan, we should send important officials to the Khitan with their rites and go quickly. Now the military situation in Tiandu Mountain is as hot as fire! Here, Wuzhu immediately reorganized the army and then led the army out of the mountain. The Zhenrong army of the Song Dynasty could take it, and if it could not be taken, then turn north and connect Weizhou and Mingsha County."

Yeri Renrong said: "After Wuzhu comes out of the mountain, Tiandu Mountain will only hand over to the empresses first. We will make an appointment to guard it for a while and then I will lead my troops to meet Wuzhu. As long as the road north of the Zhenrong Army is clear, they will not do anything to us!"

Yuan Hao nodded heavily: "It's already like this, so I'll listen to my uncle and my husband's words!"

In his heart, Yuan Hao actually thought so. However, his gambling ability is much more serious than these two old ministers. What he has been waiting for is not news from Dou Weiji, but news from the Song army. He escaped from Tiandu Mountain in shame, Yuan Hao was not willing to accept it no matter what, thinking about the Song army revealing some flaws and fighting a victory like Sanchuankou. As long as there is such a victory, there is an explanation from the inside, which can boost morale, and an important bargaining chip for peace talks outside.

If you lose again and again, you will be defeated and defeated. It is easy to find a result when you go to the Song Dynasty to negotiate peace. You will not get more than your grandfather, and you will even throw away all the territory west of Huluchuan. With a victory in your hands, it means that you will still show that you will be evenly matched with the Song Dynasty. Not only will you not be too embarrassed in the Song Dynasty, but you will also prevent the Khitan from being too intensive.

Yuan Hao is a person who is unwilling to fail and is also a person who refuses to admit his failure. Even if the result is destined, he still has to give it a try. This kind of person has this kind of temperament. He cannot bite a piece of meat from the other party, and he feels that he has suffered a huge loss.
