Han Shizu

Chapter 434
When it was dawn, the surrounding area of ​​the imperial camp was already covered in blood, corpses were strewn all over the field, filled with blood, mixed with the smell of burnt.Because of the fire, the surrounding area turned into white ground, the vegetation turned to ashes, and many Khitan soldiers were burned to death.Looking up, the ground was full of devastation, and the tragedy was staggering.

After a night of fierce fighting, the rebel army headed by Yelv Chagao had less than [-] people, and there were many casualties. They still firmly guarded the imperial camp, fighting a trapped beast.The rest of the rebels and rebels either died, dispersed, or surrendered.

Yeluwuzhi and the anti-rebellion army gathered by Shouan Wang Yelujing also suffered a lot of damage, because in the dark night and in the melee, it was difficult to form a fighting force, and what's more, they died at the hands of their own people.
But the reason why the rebels were able to persist for so long was that in the second half of the night, Yelu Wuzhi calmed down and took the initiative to relax the attack, focusing on siege.They are all the troops and warriors of Daliao, so there should be no more casualties for the ambition of a few people.

Many of the "drunk generals" of the Khitan people died in the rebellion in a daze; He reacted vaguely.

However, after learning about the mutiny in the camp, clarifying the situation and situation, and getting in touch with Yelvjing and Yelvwuzhi, Duo led the army to besiege the rebels and rescue him.

The overall situation has been decided, looking at the tragic situation around, the damage suffered by the army can be seen with the naked eye.His eyes were red with hatred, Yelu Yazhi almost gritted his teeth.

Shengsheng held back the strong anger in his chest, and led people to run around the imperial camp again. The disgusting smell lingered in his nose, and it was visible to the eyes, it was a scene like Shura's purgatory.I have experienced many wars, and I have seen more cruel scenes than this, but I feel resentful because I see my own people everywhere.

The sky was getting brighter and the light was more abundant, Yelu Wuzhi knew that it was time to put an end to this incident.With a rein in his hand, the healthy horse neighed and galloped away.

Yeluwuzhi found Yelujing, the young King Shouan, wearing silver armor and a yellow robe tied to his shoulders. Yeluwuzhi vaguely saw Emperor Taizong's Yelu Deguang when he was young.

Yelujing also looked tired, and was discussing something with a group of Khitan generals, when he saw Yelv Wuzhi, he immediately greeted him: "Xiangwen is here!"

"Your Majesty, it's time to completely resolve the rebellion!"

Looking at the quality of Yelu's house, Yelujing said: "If you follow my king's wishes and attack directly, we will wipe out the rebels at Chagao Nagan in one fell swoop. If Xiang is stable and the rebels stick to their defenses, what should we do?"

"I'm worried!" Looking at the imperial camp, Yelu Wuzhi said in a low tone: "Chage and the others have reached a desperate situation, and they still resist so resolutely. It's very unusual for your Majesty and Queen not to threaten the ministers. I'm only afraid"

"What are you afraid of?" Yelujing asked.

"I hope not!" Yelu Wuzhi shook his head, took a deep breath, thought for a while, and said, "Send another soldier to go around the camp to persuade him to surrender!"

Soon there were hundreds of leather cavalry, chanting around the camp, aimed at ordinary generals and soldiers of the rebel army, saying that Yelu Chagao and others had rebelled and had nothing to do with them.All soldiers, as long as they put down their weapons and surrender, can avoid death and innocence.

Such a mind-boggling strategy is very effective, not to mention the barbarians, soon some people threw away their weapons and threw them outside the camp, some took the lead, and soon became a rout. Can't live.

Probably knowing that he will die, and when all the minions are gone, he still doesn't let go.The remaining dozens of dead soldiers were hacked to death by the intruding Pi Shijun.

When they broke into the imperial tent, they found that Yelv Chagao and several rebel generals were all dead, as if they had killed each other.Most of the servants and female relatives in front of the imperial court were tortured and killed, and the tragedy was astonishing.But Yelu Chagao was sitting on the emperor's golden throne, with the knife marks on his neck shocking, and he could not rest in peace.

"Wolf's ambition!" Cursed angrily, Yelu Wuzhi led people to find the emperor and empress.

Then, I was afraid of what would happen, and found in the inner account that the Khitan emperor and two empresses were hacked to death by the rebels.
The news could not be concealed, and the sound of mourning gradually spread in the dilapidated company.No matter what, he is the emperor, the hearts and minds of the army, and he has been hit hard.

Within five years, they had already lost two emperors, both of whom were in the process of the Southern Expedition, and this time, it was even more of an unsuccessful start.

It took a whole day to rectify the troops of the Southern Expedition, clean up the corpses, and resettle the camp.And the loss of this chaos, after statistics, gradually surfaced.

3000 more than [-] corpses were found, and more than [-] people were lightly or seriously injured, excluding those who fled and disappeared. Counting the soldiers who returned after the chaos was settled, there were only a little over [-] left in the Southern Expedition Army.

As for Khitan's main force, the Pishi Army and Shangjing's elite suffered heavy losses, hurting their vitality.If it weren't for the fact that the Khitan army camped relatively scattered and not too concentrated, and Yelu Wuzhi and others took decisive measures, otherwise, the loss would have been even greater.

Before entering the customs, [-]% of the army has been lost, and the emperor and empress have also died. It is really unknown for this southern expedition.

Inside the imperial tent, a funeral hall was simply built, Yeluruan's coffin was erected, and the corpse was collected into the coffin.

The remaining Khitan nobles, generals, and ministers gathered together, and the sound of sobbing filled the tent, although it sounded somewhat perfunctory.

Different from others, Yelu Yazhi's sadness comes from the heart.Yelu Wuzhi's mood at the moment can almost be described as "eating meat and laying waste to skin" for those traitors who committed chaos and murdered the king.

From Yelu Wuzhi's point of view, although Yelu Ruan was not as good as Taizu Taizong, he was still qualified as the Khitan emperor.At the beginning, it was approved by the Empress Dowager Shulu and various clans and nobles, and it was in line with the law.

Although in terms of politics, some are too idealistic and radical, but that is the performance of a promising leader.Internal contradictions can also be adjusted and compromised.

However, Yelucha cut off these people, for the sake of his own power and self-interest, brazen mutiny, disregarding the overall situation of the country, so many casualties were so heavy, so many strong and strong men, how long it would take to re-train them, but it was wasted here.

Yelv Chagao and others are real national thieves!
In addition to resentment, Yelu Ruan and Yelu Wuzhi also felt indisputable.He has long been aware of the alienation of detection, and has repeatedly reminded him that if he does not take precautions, entrusts power instead, and puts it in his heart, what can he do.

At the same time, in my heart, I also blamed myself very much.I was still negligent. I knew that there was a difference in detection and division, so why didn't I strengthen my defenses, causing this rebellion?
Not to mention the mixed feelings in Yelu Wuzhi's heart, the sympathy of the nobles and generals in the imperial tent did not last long.

"Now, His Majesty the Emperor has been killed by the rebels. He has lost a lot of troops. The morale of the army is in turmoil, and the country is bound to be unstable. How should we deal with it?" A minister spoke.

"The matter of the Southern Expedition can be given up. In this case, going to fight the Han people is no different from sending them to death. In my opinion, Daliao cannot live without an emperor. First, choose one person to inherit the throne and stabilize the country. The most important thing!" Another noble stood up and said: "The news of this rebellion will not be hidden for long, and it has already spread to the surrounding areas. If it takes too long, there will be chaos in the country!"

The words of the two people resonated, but at the same time, there was a hint of eagerness in the eyes of many people.

During the Huoshendian Rebellion, so many ministers and generals died, and many positions were vacated.If one could support an emperor, then one would have power, status, and wealth.Even among the Khitan people, there is no business that is more profitable than seeking the country.

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Yelu Yazhi came back to his senses and regained his composure and composure.He couldn't be more clear about the petty thoughts of those nobles in the account, but he also agrees with his generation's opinions.

He raised his head and subconsciously looked at Shouan Wang Yelujing, but saw the child, kneeling there, looking drowsy, ignoring the noise in the tent.

Yelu Wuzhi was surprised by this, rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and couldn't help sighing secretly, as expected of Taizong's son, such a big change, such a situation, so calm and calm.

Many people looked at Yelu Wuzhi. Judging from the performance of the suppression of chaos, many people have been overwhelmed.

Taking a deep breath, under the eyes of everyone, Yelu Wuzhi got up, went to Yelujing, knelt down and said: "King Shou'an, the late emperor led his army to march south, but it is a great misfortune for the country to encounter such a big change. The army is out now. The army is approaching the border, and people are in a state of confusion. For the sake of the country, it is necessary to establish a new leader to stabilize the overall situation. Among the current army, in terms of status, status, and talents, only King Shou'an can take on the important task!"

"What do you guys think?" Yelu Wuzhi turned around and asked, everyone agreed.

But at this time, Yelvjing seemed to wake up in a daze, lowered her head, and replied: "En."

Seeing this, Yelu Wuzhi and others immediately saluted in unison, paid homage to the new emperor, and shouted long live.

Seeing this scene, Yelujing's eyes were still a little blurred, and he froze for a while, a little smile rose from the corner of his mouth, which disappeared in a flash.

With the emperor, the Khitan army regained its backbone. With the help of Yelu Wuzhi and others, the new emperor Yelujing accepted the worship of the army.Then the account is discussed, and the calculation is based on the picture.

Nanzheng was decisively abandoned, and the smooth handover of power is the most important thing.The first emperor collapsed in a rebellion, and the new ruler ascended the throne. The priority should be to stabilize the domestic situation and appease the hearts of the people.

At the suggestion of Yelu Wuzhi, Emperor Yelujing of the Liao Dynasty sent envoys to announce the death of the emperor and the succession of the new emperor.

He also reorganized the army, assigned generals, dispatched confidant generals, and led the army back to Shangjing, Zhongjing, and various key points in the country. While reporting the news, they also controlled the situation of repression.

At the same time, Yelu Antuan of Tanzhou was ordered to shrink his troops and turn from offense to defense.Later, after paying homage to Yeluruan and his two queens at Huoshendian, Yelujing sent his coffin to the east and headed for Tanzhou.

On the eastern front, there are still tens of thousands of Khitan elites. It is necessary to let others know the majesty of the new emperor, subdue him, and make a new arrangement before leading the army back to Shangjing.Otherwise, for Yelujing, if he cannot obtain the loyalty of Yelu Antuan or control him, the southern armies may become a hidden danger.

In fact, with a large army in hand, a Hongmiao Zheng in identity, and the merits of suppressing the rebellion and cleaning up the funeral affairs, Yelujing's succession to the throne will not arouse much opposition from people.More importantly, the Southern Expedition was shelved and directly supported by many nobles and tribesmen.

Yeluwuzhi also made a suggestion to Yelujing, that is, to send envoys to the south to contact Emperor Han to discuss the restoration of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

There is a big situation on their side, but Liu Hanchao is still mobilizing on a large scale, preparing for a big battle.Under such circumstances, as far as Khitan is concerned, it is absolutely impossible to start a war.
