A knife in love

Chapter 2039
Feng Wei put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth on the ground for a few steps, and then said: "It doesn't matter if he died vigorously or silently, Yelubei died anyway. Li Congke set fire to the palace and died in the palace. In the raging fire. When Yelubei was alive, he made friends with a monk from Baima Temple in the east of Luoyang City. On the road, no one dared to collect the corpse. When the monk heard the news, he took his disciples to transport Yelubei's body away and put it in the White Horse Temple for temporary settlement.

"Not long after, the Liao army and Shi Jingtang's troops entered Luoyang City. Yelu Deguang did not forget his elder brother who fled to the Central Plains to escape disaster. After entering Luoyang City, he ordered the Liao army soldiers to search for Yelu throughout the city. Bei's whereabouts. After the monk at the White Horse Temple knew about it, he went to see Yelu Deguang in the camp of the Liao Army, and told the story of Yelu Bei's tragic death. Although Yelu Deguang and Yelu Bei fought for the throne, However, he was quite sympathetic when he heard that his elder brother died in a miserable state. He thanked the monk with gold and silver, and sent someone to collect Yelubei's body in a coffin, and bring back all the belongings in Yelubei's mansion. The formation map in Yelubei's hands was also mixed with these luggage and transported to the capital of Liao Kingdom.

"After Yelu Deguang and Shi Jingtang teamed up to destroy Li Congke, they originally planned to kill Shi Jingtang immediately and rule the world. However, after several battles, the Liao army suffered a lot of losses. Moreover, the Han people in the Central Plains were very angry at Shi Jingtang's leading the Khitan people to the south. Many vassal guards had plans to intercept the Liao army. Yelu Deguang realized that although he led 30 to [-] soldiers and horses into the Central Plains, compared with tens of millions of Han people, he was like a handful of sand thrown into the sea. There was no certainty of victory in the fight. Therefore, after careful consideration, Yelu Deguang did not dare to do it lightly, so he looted countless gold and silver treasures, led the Khitan army and horses to leave Luoyang and returned north, and allowed Shi Jingtang to be the emperor of Jin in Luoyang.

"After several battles, although Yelu Deguang did not dominate the world, he won countless gold and silver treasures, and he also held the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures that Khitan has coveted for hundreds of years, which is considered a great advantage. But Yelu Deguang Bei was not wrong. After Shi Jingtang became the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, although he was servile to the Khitan, many of his generals were unwilling to suffer this humiliation, and stood up from time to time to turn against the Khitan. It's just that Shi Jingtang was determined to serve Yelu Deguang. His father, the emperor, refused to fight against Khitan. Yelu Deguang did not give up his plan to seize the Central Plains, and connived at the Liao soldiers to harass the Han people on the border between Liao and Jin. It was just that Shi Jingtang made the emperor to the extreme. Although Yelu Deguang wanted to go south , but can't find an excuse.

"Shi Jingtang had been emperor for a few years, and then he died. His son became emperor, and he didn't want to bow his knees to the Khitan people like his father, so he wrote a letter to Yelu Deguang, claiming that he would only be called emperor uncle in the future. He was called Father Emperor again. Because Shi Jingtang was a son so well, Yelu Deguang was worried that he could not find an excuse to go south. After receiving the letter, he sent troops to the south. Yelu Deguang led an army into Kaifeng, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and killed Shi's family. Shi Jingtang ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Khitan people, causing endless disasters, but in the end, he still lost his children and grandchildren, which was considered a bad retribution.

"The Liao army captured Kaifeng, intending to rule the world. However, Yelu Deguang found that the various towns refused to submit to the Khitans, and were secretly gathering troops to besiege the Liao army stationed in Kaifeng. Yelu Deguang was afraid of being cut off. On his way back, he didn't dare to stay in Kaifeng, so he had to lead his army out of Luoyang again and return to Youyun Sixteen Prefectures. He attacked Luoyang twice, but was forced by the situation and had to spit out the fat he ate in his mouth This frustration and disappointment made Yelu Deguang more and more depressed. Therefore, he led his army and died of illness on the way before returning to the Liao capital.

"After Yelubei fled to the Central Plains, although Yelu Deguang planned to kill Yelubei's eldest son Yelu Ruan, Yelu Ruan's mother was a woman of the Shuluping clan and was protected by Shuluping. Yelu Deguang Yeluruan had to be let go. Yeluruan grew up in Dongdan country. He was good at riding and archery, and had a strategy. He also took Yelu Ruan with him on his second expedition. He originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the expedition and find an excuse to kill Yelu Ruan with military law. Who knew that Yelu Ruan was brave and good at fighting, and he would win every battle. Although Yelu Deguang wanted to kill him, he did not. He was not willing to get rid of him. Later, except that Yeluruan did not participate in the battle against Li Congke with Shi Jingtang, Yeluruan accompanied Yelu Deguang in every other battle, and made a lot of contributions. Yelu Deguang saw Yeluruan didn't hold any grudges against him, and he always wanted to be the first in every battle, so he finally gave up his plan to kill him.

"Yelu Deguang died of a sudden illness, and the officials of the Liao Kingdom were busy choosing a new emperor. In fact, all the officials knew that after Yelu Deguang's death, Shuluping would definitely make Yelu Lihu the new emperor. But Yelu Lihu was cruel and ruthless. He is also extremely greedy. Most of the officials have suffered from him and do not want him to succeed him as emperor. Many important officials of the Liao Kingdom still think about the benefits of abolishing the prince Yelubei, and lament that he died in the Central Plains, his soul returned to the outside of the Great Wall, and his life was miserable. Therefore, planning to support Yelu Ruan as emperor is also a way to repay Yelu Bei's kindness.

"Yeluruan finally revealed his true colors at this time. It turned out that he never wanted to avenge Yelubei, but he was afraid of Yelude's power, so he pretended to be obedient and did not dare to resist in the slightest. These years he For Yelu Deguang, he was born and died, he went on campaigns here and there, and went through hundreds of battles, just to make Yelu Deguang no longer doubt himself, so that he could turn his hand in the future and knock Yelu Deguang to the ground. At the same time, he led his troops to fight He gathered around him the descendants of the ministers and generals who were killed by Shuluping and Yelv Deguang because of their loyalty to Yelubei. Ruan hit it off immediately, and just waited for the opportunity to rise up and rebel, kill Yelu Deguang, and avenge the tragic death of his ancestors.

"Yelu Deguang died of a sudden illness on the way back to the Great Wall. At that time, Yelu Ruan and others were in the army. The generals took the opportunity to elect Yelu Ruan to be the emperor of the Liao Kingdom in front of Yelu Deguang's coffin. The news spread to the Liao Kingdom In the capital, Shuluping was furious. She was not too sad that Yelu Deguang died of illness, because she had long wanted her youngest son Yelu Lihu to be emperor. But she never thought that Yelu Ruan pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, not only cheating Yelu Deguang, even Shuluping thought that Yeluruan had no intention of avenging Yelubei at all. At this time, when he heard that Yeluruan was supported by the soldiers and became emperor, Shuluping was angry and anxious, regretting that he did not see Yelubei Ruan is so treacherous. She immediately mobilized troops and horses, with Yelu Lihu as the commander, and asked him to lead the army to attack Yelu Ruan."
