Hu Yanqing's request to Yang Huaiyu was quickly responded. As the commander of the Central Army of the attack on Liao Kingdom this time, Yang Huaiyu had the power to self-determination on the battlefield, so he could make a decision on this matter. He agreed without hesitation about Yelu Chun's willingness to surrender to the Song Dynasty, and also agreed to the conditions proposed by Yelu Chun...

Yang Huaiyu's agreement was also expected by Hu Yanqing. He summoned Yelu Dashi again and conveyed Yang Huaiyu's decision to him, and then asked Yelu Dashi to show his sincerity. In this case, Yelu Dashi first returned to the city to report the good news to Yelu Chun, and then left the city again. He first ordered the Liao army around Zhongjing to surrender. Then a few days later, Yelu Chun officially opened the city and expressed his surrender to the Song Dynasty.

As soon as the news of Yelu Chun surrender came out, a huge storm immediately formed in the Liao Kingdom, which had a huge impact on the Liao court in the storm. After all, Yelu Chun's fame was too great. Before Yelu Nuzhang rebelled, he almost made Yelu Chun ascended the throne as emperor, but he refused and then ran to surrender to the Song Dynasty. Doesn't this mean that being the emperor of the Liao Kingdom is not a surrender to the Song Dynasty?

Of course, many Liao nobles hated Yelu Chun's approach and scolded him for being a traitor. However, after scolding, many people thought deeply that even people like Yelu Chun chose to surrender to the Song Dynasty. Doesn't that mean that the Liao Kingdom has no hope? This made more people panic, and at the same time, more people began to arrange their own way of retreat. A few people were optimistic about the rising Jin Dynasty, so some people began to contact these Jin Dynasty, which were regarded as barbarians by them. However, more people had a good impression of the Song Dynasty, so there were countless Liao officials who secretly contacted the Song Dynasty for a time.

"Bastard! A bunch of bastards!" In the imperial palace in the capital, Yelu Jun angrily raised the dragon case and cursed angrily. The incident of Yelu Chun's sudden surrender to Song almost pissed him to death. As a result, he just got the news today that several letters were seized from the east city. ═. [It turned out to be a surrender written by someone in the court to Song Dynasty. How could he not be angry?

"Your Majesty calms down. Although these people who are engaging in foreign enemies deserve to die, they are still the bad influences caused by Yelu Chun's surrender to the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, this traitor escaped too quickly and moved his family to Zhongjing early. From this, we can see that he had already planned to surrender to the Song State long ago!" At this time, Yelu Yixin advised that he blamed all this on Yelu Chun, but forgot that the reason why the Liao Kingdom has reached this point today is also closely related to his chaos.

"Don't talk about these useless things. All the ministers who surrendered to the enemy were arrested and executed by me. In addition, the Jin Kingdom in the north is eyeing it, and the Song army in the south is advancing step by step. Do you have any good ways?" Yelu Jun shook his sleeves and said, no matter how stupid he is on weekdays, he should wake up at this time. After all, if he ignores the government affairs, the Liao Dynasty will really be destroyed. It is only when he wakes up that he has realized. His country has become like a riddled hole.

"This..." Yelu Yixin hesitated when he heard this. He knew better about the situation of the Liao Kingdom than Yelu Jun. When he attacked the Jin Kingdom, he had already mobilized the remaining army in the country. If he could win, then they still had a glimmer of hope, but they were defeated by Yelu Jun. Now the great Liao Dynasty has to face the north-south attacks of the Song and Jin Kingdom, but even the resistance army cannot be organized. What can he do?

"Say it!" Seeing Yelu Yixin silent for a long time, Yelu Jun roared again, "I gave the government completely to you before, but you actually turned my country into what you are like now. What should you blame!"

"My dear ~.┞.

Yelu Jun was angry at Yelu Yixin, but he didn't dare to really treat Yelu Yixin, because he had already appeared at this time, and the entire court was full of Yelu Yixin. If he had moved Yelu Yixin now, he would probably have a sudden uproar in the court. The current situation in Liao Kingdom would definitely not be able to withstand a civil strife, so he could only temporarily appease Yelu Yixin and find a way to resolve the external crisis.

Thinking of this, Yelu Jun finally sat down angrily and discussed the dispatch of troops with Yelu Yixin. After the previous 100,000 army was defeated by the Jin army, Yelu Jun finally collected only 30,000 to 40,000 defeated troops. After the army was drawn from various places during this period, he finally gathered nearly 100,000 troops. However, this force had more than enough defense, but insufficient attack. You must know that the Song army was divided into three groups, and the middle army alone reached an astonishing 150,000 people. In addition, they also had to beware of the Jin people from the north coming, so this force was not enough to even block the gaps between the teeth.

"Your Majesty, you do extraordinary things at the most time. Now the domestic army is almost out of reach. The Song and Jin countries are moving forward step by step. There is only one way, that is, recruitment!" Yelu Yixin finally proposed a solution.

"Recruitment? What do we use to recruit soldiers?" Yelu Jun frowned and asked when he heard this method, because recruitment is not an easy task. It takes time to make an ordinary person a soldier, training, weapons, armor, etc., but they have no time or money now. In this case, even if they want to recruit soldiers, they are powerless.

"Your Majesty, I have just said that it is extraordinary to do extraordinary things. To put it bluntly, my Daliao is now in the midst of life and death. As a citizen of the Liao Kingdom, I naturally need to be loyal to my Daliao. Now, there should be millions of people under my Daliao rule. There are many young and strong people among these people. As long as these people are summoned, even if they don't have time to train, they can play a role together as long as they put out basic weapons and use the help of the city wall to defend." Yelu Yixin spoke again with a cold expression at this time.

"Hiss~, do you mean forcibly recruiting?" Yelu Jun finally understood at this time. He said in a shocking moment that forcibly recruiting is actually very common, especially in troubled times. In order to expand his strength as soon as possible, many people have done forcibly recruiting. However, the Liao Kingdom has been established for hundreds of years and has established great prestige among the people. If forcibly recruiting at this time, it will definitely cause the reputation of the court to fall to the bottom, and the reputation accumulated by their royal family over the past few hundred years will be destroyed.

Seeing that Yelu Jun was hesitant about forcibly recruiting troops, Yelu Yixin advised again: "Your Majesty, I also know that this incident has a very bad impact, but now the court has reached the point of life and death. If this method is not used, I am afraid that our Daliao will be destroyed by others. As the saying goes, where will the skin be left without hair? Your Majesty, you must distinguish the importance of it!"

Hearing Yelu Yixin’s words, the expression on Yelu Jun’s face changed several times, and finally sighed a long sigh: “Forget it, since that’s the case, then according to your opinion, I will issue an order to recruit strong men from all over the country to join the army!”

"I obey the order!" Yelu Yixin immediately felt relieved when he heard this. He immediately asked someone to draft an imperial edict, then put Yelu Jun's jade seal on it, and then left the palace with the imperial edict and sent people to recruit soldiers everywhere. For a time, the Liao Dynasty ruled the territory was also wailing everywhere. After all, no one was a fool. Under the attack of the Song and Jin countries, the Liao army had retreated step by step. At this time, letting the men in the family join the army was simply a death sentence. Unfortunately, the orders of the court were not something they could stop, especially in some places, they directly sent troops to their homes to grab people. If someone dared to escape, they would even directly capture the children in the family to the military camp to make up.

With this method, the number of the Liao army expanded rapidly and soon reached an astonishing 300,000. However, most of them were civilians who had just picked up weapons and had not undergone any training at all. However, Yelu Jun ignored these and directly ordered his son-in-law Xiao Derang to lead an army of 200,000 to the south and set up numerous defense lines in Yikunzhou, hoping to block the Song army there.

However, just as Xiao Derang had just led an army of 200,000 to leave Shangjing, the Jin Kingdom, which had not been moved for a long time, suddenly sent troops from the Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo. This time, the Jurchen army reached an astonishing 50,000. It turned out that Aguda had been patiently absorbing various resources from Liaoyang Prefecture and Huanglong Prefecture during this period, and at the same time expanded his army again, finally making his army reach an unprecedented 50,000. Although most of these 50,000 people were not Jurchens, their combat effectiveness was not bad after being replaced by the Jurchen generals. In addition, he heard the news that the 200,000 Liao army left Shangjing City, so he decided to send troops, intending to seize Shangjing City before the Song Dynasty.

Shangjing City, as the capital of the Liao Kingdom, belongs to the most important area of ​​the Liao Kingdom. Even after the rebellion of Yelu Nuzhang, nearly half of the Liao Kingdom's population and resources were still concentrated around Shangjing. If the Jurchens occupied this place, their strength would immediately increase. If they waited until they completely digested the resources of Shangjing, they would become a real powerful country. It would probably not be so easy for the Song Dynasty to destroy the Jin Kingdom.

The personnel of the Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty quickly sent back the news of the Jin Dynasty's attack on Shangjing, which made Yang Huaiyu, who led the troops, feel very nervous. He immediately ordered the Central Army to speed up the progress. At the same time, the West and East Army also started their respective actions. For a time, wars on the land of the Liao Kingdom were everywhere and wars were everywhere! (To be continued.)
