Chapter 474 The way out
"I wish to respect the life of the Crown Prince!"
One of the soldiers dropped his weapon and knelt down.
Seeing this, the others also knelt down.
Nerugu showed a smile and said: "Very good."
On the hillside, Yelu Yixin did not see this scene because of the distance, but he saw on the battlefield that Yelu Zhongyuan's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses and could be completely wiped out soon, and a smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, a trumpet sound suddenly came from behind the battlefield.
Messages are conveyed on the battlefield through flags, drums and horns.
Military training will also train these, but different generals will use different flags and sounds.
Yelu Zhongyuan's method is naturally different from that of the other side.
The remaining soldiers and horses of Yelu Zhongyuan's side were already about to collapse. When they heard the sound of their own horn, they didn't think much about it and directly dropped their weapons and surrendered.
"What's going on? Send someone to have a look."
Yelu Yixin was a little strange. Yelu Zhongyuan should know that surrender would not end well, so why did he suddenly give the order to surrender.
"Yes!"
Several soldiers left in a hurry.
After a while, the soldiers trotted back and reported: "Back to the king, Nerugu, the son of Yelu Chongyuan, killed Yelu Chongyuan and ordered the surrender. Nerugu said that he wanted to see the king, and he had been escorted over. ”
"Nerugu killed Yelu Chongyuan?"
Yelu Yixin was shocked for a long time after hearing this, and then smiled.
"Interesting, Yelu Zhongyuan actually died in the hands of his son."
After waving his hand and telling the soldiers to retreat, Yelu Yixin looked into the distance. Nerugu was escorted over by several soldiers tied up.
"Your Majesty!"
The Khitan general who came with his soldiers to escort Nerugu bowed and said: "Nerugu killed Yelu Chongyuan and said he would surrender."
"Are you sure Yelu Zhongyuan is dead?" Yelu Yixin asked.
"After examination, I was stabbed several times in the abdomen. I have seen Yelu Zhongyuan several times. There is no way it is false!"
Yelu Yixin waved his hand upon hearing this, and the general stepped aside.
"Yelu Zhongyuan really raised a good son. He probably never imagined that he would die in the hands of his own son."
Yelu Yixin looked at Nerugu with some fear and amusement.
"He asked me to put on his armor to help him attract attention, and he didn't care about my life or death, so I had no choice but to strike first." Nerugu said calmly.
"Then why don't you run away?" Yelu Yixin asked.
"Where can I escape? I think I am of some use to King Zhao. I can help King Zhao conquer my father's soldiers and horses. I just ask King Zhao to let me become a rich man." Nerugu said.
"Your conditions are quite simple."
Yelu Yixin smiled slightly, but felt a little hesitant in his heart.
Although he could wait for Nerugu to help him conquer Yelu Zhongyuan's remaining troops before taking action against Nerugu.
But once this is done, those generals who surrender will definitely be in danger.
Therefore, once he agreed, he would not be able to touch Nerugu in a short time.
However, Nerugu even killed his own father, so if he really wanted to stay, Yelu Yixin was still a little afraid.
"Okay, I promise you!" Yelu Yixin said after a long silence.
Compared to keeping Nerugu temporarily, killing him now would have more advantages than disadvantages.
"I will go to persuade the leaders of the ministries and the generals under my father to surrender. When the time comes, King Zhao will promise in front of them that he will not attack us afterwards."
Nerugu was not stupid, he knew that Yeluyixin might cross the river and burn the bridge. Yelu Yixin laughed secretly when he heard this. What's the use of making a promise in public?
Whoever you want to deal with, someone will be able to deal with it afterwards.
He was a little too cautious just now. If Nerugu is so stupid, what threat can he pose?
"Okay, I can agree to whatever you say. Not only that, when I take over the capital and ascend the throne as emperor, I can also make you the King of Liang!" Yelu Yixin said with a smile.

"Brother, what's wrong?"
When Queen Mother Xiao saw Xiao Asu walking in with a solemn expression, her heart tightened: "Could it be that we can't hold on anymore? If it doesn't work, just use those soldiers and horses. Yelu Zhongyuan's side should be here in the next few days. As long as we can hold on, we can Okay.”
"No!"
Xiao Asu shook his head and said: "Yelu Yixin didn't show up all day today. I asked someone to risk contacting our people outside the city, and the news I got was that Yelu Yixin was sick last night."
Yelu Yixin has people in the city, and naturally they also have people over there.
Although he is not considered a confidant, his position is not low either.

Out of caution these past few days, I have not dared to contact him.
Yelu Yixin didn't show up today, so he took the risk to contact him.
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Empress Dowager Xiao was overjoyed when she heard this and gritted her teeth and said: "It is best to die of illness. As long as he dies, other things will be easy to handle."
"It's not that simple."
Xiao Asu shook his head and said: "Yelu Yixin is sick, so the generals will naturally visit him. But our people said that Yelu Qi is blocking him and not allowing anyone to visit."
"Doesn't this further illustrate the seriousness of Yelu Yixin's illness?" Queen Mother Xiao asked doubtfully.
Xiao Asu frowned and said: "If Yelu Yixin is not seriously ill, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, it is impossible to stop him from visiting. From this look, he does look like he is seriously ill. But if he is really seriously ill, at this time It’s best to stop the troops temporarily. Why are we still attacking the city? The offensive has not diminished at all.”
"This is just to prevent us from noticing." Queen Mother Xiao said.
"We are afraid that we will notice. We can just use the excuse that the siege equipment is not ready. We are not as strong as the opponent, and we are also worried that the opponent will set a trap. Even if we have speculation, we will not dare to leave the city at all."
Xiao Asu said seriously: "I suspect that Yelu Yixin is not in the army outside the city at all."
"This is impossible!"
Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head and said: "If we mobilize troops, we can arrange for others to go. How could Yelu Yixin go in person? I think Yelu Yixin is seriously ill. In order to cover up the news, Yeluqi also added that his mother, brothers and sisters all died in our hands." Here, the siege did not stop.”
"It's impossible to mobilize troops, but what if he wants to deal with Yelu Zhongyuan?" Xiao Asu asked back.
"Brother is saying..."
Queen Mother Xiao turned pale and shook her head repeatedly: "Impossible, how could he..."
Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't go on at this point. It was not difficult to guess that Yelu Zhongyuan would send troops.
It's just that she had lost her mind thinking that Yelu Yixin's family members were all dead.
This can be seen from the fact that Yelu Yixin did not build the siege equipment yet and continued to attack the city regardless of casualties.
But what if this was all pretended by Yelu Yixin?
"Normally, the soldiers and horses that Yelu Yixin mobilized from other places should have arrived. But our people said that no soldiers and horses have arrived recently." Xiao Asu said.
This sentence seemed to completely dispel the remaining luck in Empress Dowager Xiao's heart, and she sat down paralyzed.
"Sister, it's time for us to think of a solution." Xiao Asu said.
"Yes, yes!"
Empress Dowager Xiao came back to her senses and said: "Brother, please quickly send someone to tell Yelu Chongyuan and let him be careful about Yelu Yixin's ambush. As long as Yelu Yixin fails to ambush, without using the troops outside the city, he will Nothing can be done about Yelu Chongyuan.”
"I'm not talking about this, but our retreat." Xiao Asu emphasized.
