  These words were full of threatening meaning, Chen Yuan's next target was to go to Liao State, Yelü Niegulu thought that his subtle threat was still useful.

  Chen Yuan shook his head: "Prince, no need to scare me. This is still the Song Dynasty. Even if I wanted to cause some trouble for you, I would have to be in Liao State to do so. And Prince, you also need to make it back alive."

  Yelü Niwulu looked at Chen Yuan, and the fierce light in his eyes slowly disappeared.

  Chen Yuan continued: "The price they opened, actually wasn't paid to them. That Yelü Chongbao came to kill the prince, I believe the prince also wanted to kill him. Right? In other words, if we trade according to their conditions, the result would be that they killed the person they wanted to kill and still had to show gratitude."

  Yelü Niegulu's concerns were exposed by Chen Yuan, but his face didn't show any embarrassment: "Chen the shopkeeper is indeed a very astute person. Then tell me, what kind of price should I pay to make it worthwhile?"

  Chen Yuan lowered his head and said, "The prince misunderstood. I'm just a businessman. The way the prince did business earlier was really not proper. I don't want to see my friends lose money because if they do, I'll also fall with them. I just reminded my friends that when doing business, if you can earn 1,000, don't earn 800. If you give someone 1 yuan, you should get back something worth 1 yuan. As for the specifics, let's discuss it."

  Chen Yuan said that's all for now, and Di Qing also understood the meaning behind Chen Yuan's words. The ninth prince most wanted to let the four mice spare him and allow him to return to Liao Guo.

  What I am most eager to think about now is to guard Wen Tong. Among all the people in this house, the one who knows the most about Liao [***] affairs is Yelü Niegulu!

  As for Yelü Xuzhuo, he cannot be used as a bargaining chip.

  Di Qing looked at the black-clad man crawling on the ground and said slowly, "He just said that this time the commander is General Xiao Congqiu of Liao State. Can the Ninth Prince tell me more about it?"

  Yelü Niugu did not speak for half a day, until Lu Fang said: "Alright, if we help you keep Wén Tóng, we promise to let him go. The map has already been taken away, and leaving it behind wouldn't make much sense anyway."

  Lu Fang finished speaking, and Bai Yutang also sheathed his treasured sword: "Although we are called old mice, we are also people of the rivers and lakes. What we say will never be retracted."

  Yelü Deguang took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

  Chen Yuan knew he was weighing his options at this moment. He motioned to the crowd not to disturb him and let him think for a while.

  A wisp of time passed slowly in the silence of the crowd, and Yelü Niegulu finally opened his eyes: "Xiao Congqiu is one of the great generals under Yelü Rennan. He belongs to the Jian'an Army of Zhenzhou. He was originally defending against the Western Party items. This time, Yelü Rennan let him lead the army to come, I think it's because my father, the king, has been in charge of the Nanjing Bingshangongfu for many years, and if he uses local soldiers, he is afraid that there will be trouble in dealing with my problem."

  Di Qing let out a long breath in his heart when Yelü Niegulu started speaking, and looked at Chen Yuan with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

  Yelü Niwulu continued, "The soldiers under Xiao Yu's command won't be drawn from our side either. I think he must have brought them from the Jian'an Army in Zhongzhou. The Jian'an Army originally had few infantry and mainly consisted of cavalry. I suppose this time they will all be cavalry due to their long journey."

  "How does their combat capability compare with the official troops under the Nanjing garrison?"

  Yelü Niegulu shook his head: "Can't be compared, our main task is to fight against the Song Dynasty, so attacking cities and strongholds is our strong point. They are different, they prefer field battles, like large-scale cavalry charges."

  Yelü Niwulu then gave Di Qing a very detailed explanation of the organization of the Zhenzhou Jian'an Army led by Xiao Wuzhu, and also said some things about his understanding of Xiao Wuzhu himself.

  This made Di Qing even more confident in his victory.

  When Yelü Niwulu finished saying what he knew, Di Qing smiled: "Don't worry, Ninth Prince. We won't take your life. If we win tomorrow, I guarantee you can return home."

  Yelü Niegulu nodded: "What are you going to do with me now?"

  Di Qing rushed over to several soldiers and said: "Take the Ninth Prince away and take good care of him."

  This time, Yelü Nügu was carried out, although still under guard, but compared to the situation when Xu Qing dragged him all the way here, it's a world of difference.

  And the man in black was also taken away by the soldiers. Lu Fang looked around the room and saw that there were no outsiders left, then shook his head and said: "I really can't understand why Yelü Niegulu would help us."

  Chen Yuanshao said, "I think this should involve the court struggle of Liao State. We are not clear about the cause of things, so we will not understand him. However, Nanjing Daliang put Yelü Niugu in a desperate situation, and Yelü Niugu was willing to sell out the Liao army to go back. If I didn't guess wrong, this time if Yelü Niugu can go back, there must be some important position or important things waiting for him."

  Di Qing waved his hand: "That's the Liao State's business, we can't manage that much now. The Liao army will arrive tomorrow, this is a tough battle, I'm going to go take a look at my soldiers."

  After this turmoil, the morale of the Song army was severely damaged, and Di Qing had to comfort some soldiers to give them confidence in winning tomorrow's battle.

  Di Qing was just about to leave when Chen Yuan suddenly shouted: "Brother Di Qing, wait!"

  Di Qing stopped in his tracks: "Is there anything else?"

  Chen Yuan gathered his thoughts: "I'd like to discuss whether it's possible to defeat these 10,000 Liao soldiers?"

  Di Qing nodded: "I have a plan in mind. Please rest assured, I will definitely be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive, and once the reinforcements arrive, the Liao army will naturally collapse."

  Chen Yuan interrupted: "No, what I mean is that I think tomorrow we can rely on our own strength to win this battle."

  Di Qing's eyes suddenly widened, staring at Chen Yuan for a moment before turning back: "Brother Chen, please speak."

  Several others also gathered around, Chen Yuan smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I don't know how to fight either. But I think, those Jian'an Army, since they're not good at attacking cities, why did they dare to come and raid Wensong?"

  Di Qing followed Chen Yuan's train of thought and said: "Because they believe that with internal support, they can definitely help them open the city gate."

  Chen Yuan nodded: "We don't know who the insider is, but if the city gate really opens, can we set up some traps and ambushes at the city gate to annihilate a part of their forces first?"

  Di Qing burst out laughing: "Good! Good idea! Now that we know ourselves and the enemy, Chen's idea can be tried."

  Chen Yuan looked at Xiao Wen, who had been standing silently with his long spear for a long time, and walked up to him. He clasped his fists in greeting: "Young Master Hou, are you still planning on continuing to follow us? Let's make one thing clear, I, Chen Shimei, dare not provoke the several marshals of Tianbo Prefecture. If anything were to happen, my ten heads wouldn't be enough to withstand that dragon-headed cane."

  Old Hei will be on the chart tonight, hoping that brothers who like to stay up late can give some support after 12:30!
