Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 594 Khan, Someone Wants to Betray You

At the end of September, the Monan Grassland is breezy in autumn, and a grand party is being held beside the mandarin ducks.

The Khitan from Liaohe, the five tribes of Xiren from Rao Leshui, the women straight from the East China Sea, and the Xiajias from Jinshan all sent people to participate in the meeting.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen of various ethnic groups competed in riding and archery at this mandarin duck park, and they looked very happy.

From the actual situation, this is indeed a rare moment of joy for the various ethnic groups in the grassland, mainly Khitan people.

Because more than a year ago, the Khitan Emperor took [-] horses into the Central Plains, and when he came back, he became a piece of bacon.

[-] riders went south, and only [-] riders came back, and lost most of their armor, which can be described as a heavy loss.

At that time, everyone thought that the Khitan people would be doomed soon, and rebellions broke out one after another in various tribes, big and small, and people panicked.

But at this critical moment, the Han emperor in the south suddenly became silent, giving the Khitan people a chance to breathe.

The Han emperor is so stupid!Everyone thinks so.

This is also an important reason why people of all ethnic groups in the grassland are still willing to come to participate in the burnt ceremony held by the Khitan people after such a big defeat by the Khitan people.

In their view, the Han emperor couldn't even seize such a good opportunity, and he must have been greedy for pleasure after winning the battle.

There are many such examples on the grassland, and in the end, without exception, they all lost their positions and lives.

What's more, the Khitan people still occupy the Yanyun sixteen prefectures in the Han area.

In the Central Plains, these places are natural barriers, but for the grassland people, the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are the most prosperous places they can see, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most affluent places in the world.

Of course, some merchants who come occasionally will tell them that the Han land further south in the Yanyun sixteen prefectures is more prosperous.

But at this time, the herdsmen on the grassland will shake their heads violently, thinking that you are lying.

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are as numerous as ants on the ground. They grow food that can feed everyone on the grassland, weave silk brocades that can cover the entire land, and can smelt enough food for a tribe of a hundred people in a year. needed iron.

In the world, how could there be a place richer than Yanyun Sixteen States?

impossible!Absolutely impossible!
Therefore, limited by the narrow field of vision and limited imagination by being too poor, the brave herdsmen, khans, and chiefs on the grassland still regard the Khitan as an extremely powerful existence.

Thousands of iron armors plus the wealthy Yanyun Sixteen States, isn't that powerful?

And when Liu Zhiyuan led two thousand cavalry from the east of the river to Yuanyangbo, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.

Under the introduction of the new Daliao Emperor Yeluruan, Liu Zhiyuan became the Northern King of the Han people.

In contrast, that is the right and left sage king of the Huns, and the left and right Yehu of the Turkic people!

Having said this, everyone understands that the Han people also had internal strife, and people who are even the level of the right and left kings come to ask for us.

He also promised that once they go south, everyone will be able to live in a warm and prosperous place, and they will no longer have to experience white disasters and black disasters every year.

After knowing this information, some tribal leaders on the grassland even started singing and dancing in front of Yelu Ruan.

This is no longer the Great Khitan, it is obviously the Great Khitan who is giving benefits to the men on our grassland!

go south!Go to Han'er's territory, drop hard!Grab it hard!
. . . .

Liu Zhiyuan's big tent stands on the west side of Yuanyangbo, on a hill more than three miles northeast of Liangcheng County, Inner Mongolia, which is close to later generations.

The terrain here is slightly higher, overlooking the venue around Yuanyangbo. The address was chosen by Yeluruan himself, just to highlight Liu Zhiyuan's status.

At this moment, Liu Zhiyuan, with gray beard and hair, was standing on the hilltop, looking at the various ethnic groups in the prairie dancing on the side of the mandarin ducks, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

Although Liu Zhiyuan's ethnicity is very suspicious, it is estimated that he is mixed with the blood of Shatuo, Han, Tuyuhun, and Kunlun slaves.

But this does not prevent Liu Zhiyuan from thinking that he is a Han, and he even thinks that he is a descendant of the great Han clan.

Therefore, seeing the joy of these grassland peoples, Liu Zhiyuan felt very uncomfortable.

Back then, he was one of Shi Jingtang's generals who most opposed the ceding of Yanyun Sixteen States, but today he is going to follow Shi Jingtang's old path.

"I think back in the past, when I was a general under Emperor Gaozu, I tried to persuade Gaozu not to lose money to the Khitan people.

I don't want to think about today, but I have also embarked on this road. At this time, I know how helpless Emperor Gaozu was in the past. "

Liu Zhiyuan knew that it was inappropriate for him to say this, but he still couldn't help saying it to his confidants Bai Wenke, Su Fengji, Shi Hongzhao and others.

Bai Wenke was silent, but Su Fengji cupped his hands and said: "How can Jin Gaozu be compared with the king now? In the past, the Jin Kingdom asked Khitan to claim the land.

But today, Your Majesty is here to be the uncle of the Khitan Emperor, and we are the ones who preserved their Liao Kingdom. "

Although Shi Hongzhao didn't want to see Su Fengji, he still felt that what this person said made sense. He looked at Liu Zhiyuan, pointed at the various chieftains beside the mandarin ducks' park and said carelessly.

"Your Majesty, can you be worried about this generation of northern captives? I really wish they would come more, because compared with Hexi soldiers, this generation is really nothing to worry about! After killing Emperor Shao, there is some time to deal with them slowly."

Originally, Shi Hongzhao was trying to comfort Liu Zhiyuan, but Liu Zhiyuan had a sudden shock in his heart, because he knew very well that Shi Jingtang thought the same way Shi Hongzhao thinks in his heart back then, but what happened?

But Liu Zhiyuan wouldn't say this out loud, if he did, I'm afraid people's hearts would be lost.

You have no confidence in being a king, why do the people below follow you to fight life and death?

So Liu Zhiyuan pretended to be heroic and laughed loudly, "What Hua Yuan said is that as long as Zhang Zhao is killed, these northern captives are worth nothing.

At that time, our monarchs and ministers will regain Yanyun, chase the Hulu in the north, and flatten Tang and Shu in the south. Just like the story of Han Gaozu, Huayuan should be Ruyin Wenhou. "

Ruyin Wenhou is Liu Bang's younger brother Xia Houying. Liu Zhiyuan said that, he is calling himself Han Gaozu!
He could only think so, because at this time, Liu Zhiyuan was not young.

Later generations saw that Liu Zhiyuan was Shi Jingtang's subordinate, and established the Later Han Dynasty a few years after Shi Jingtang's death, so there would be an illusion that Liu Zhiyuan was Shi Jingtang's next generation.

But in fact, Liu Zhiyuan is only five years younger than Shi Jingtang. He was born in the second year of Emperor Zhaozong Qianning in Tang Dynasty, that is, in 895 AD. He is 51 years old this year. 912 years old.

The founder of history, that is, his self-confessed ancestor Liu Bang was already 54 years old when he established the Han Dynasty, and the rest were very young, so Liu Zhiyuan often used Han Gaozu to encourage himself.

Of course, no one would tell Liu Zhiyuan in a bad manner at this time that the age of Han Gaozu has always been controversial.

At this time, it is generally agreed that Yan Shigu's textual research, in this textual research, Liu Bang was only 45 years old when he established the Western Han Dynasty.

Liu Zhiyuan knew that his age was a weakness, and others naturally knew it too, but not as deeply as him.

In addition to Zhang Zhao, this other person also invited Liu Zhiyuan to go north this time, and Yeluruan was going to call Liu Zhiyuan his uncle.

Yeluruan's life was full of ups and downs.

When he was born, he was the eldest grandson of Emperor Yelu Abaoji, and he had a bright future.

But soon, his father Yelubei was disliked by his grandmother Shuluping, and he got rid of the throne he had obtained.

Later, the situation became more and more unfavorable, not to mention the throne, even the position of King Dongdan was almost lost.

But at the most difficult time for him, his father, Yelubei, couldn't bear the pressure, and even left their mother and son directly and ran away to the Central Plains.

This is terrible!Yeluruan's mother and son were immediately embarrassed, is there any eggs under the overturned nest?

Fortunately, Uncle Yelu Deguang wanted to show his face, he thought it was not good to force his elder brother away, so he held Yelu Ruan in high regard, and wanted to use this method to show the world that he did not force his elder brother away.

However, Yeluruan lost his father's protection after all, and was brought by his uncle who was full of desire to perform. One can imagine the pain.

Later, turmoil broke out in the Central Plains, and Yelubei's father died. Yeluruan followed the army into Tokyo City. He wanted to bury his father and leave, but found that his younger sister, Yelu Aburi, had disappeared.

In order to find Xiaomei, he even lived in the Central Plains for a few years, and finally found out that Xiaomei had gone to Hexi.

At this time, his father was dead, his uncle Yelu Deguang's status was completely stable, and he no longer had to put on a show to him, so Yelu Ruan's status dropped sharply, and life became more and more difficult.

When the Khitan army re-entered the Central Plains, Yeluruan fought desperately in order to please his uncle Yelu Deguang.

Um!Then in Yangqu outside Luoyang City, I met another uncle and brother-in-law, Shaoming Zhang Tianzi.

The Iron Pigeon Army led by Yelu Ruan ran into the eight hundred elite troops of Regret Shandu's horse infantry under the command of Man Xiong and Dunzhu.

This is the confidant of Emperor Shaoming's family!God arm bow, cloth armor, pear flower gun, and Hexi Tianma are all available.

damn it!This battle was almost like hitting an iron plate.

In the end, Yeluruan survived by climbing into the depths of Beimang Mountain with his hands and feet without his armor and horse.

Then, Yeluruan became even more unpopular and was assigned to the rear army.

Fortunately, Yelu Ruan escaped from the pursuit of the Hexi cavalry, and successfully returned north to Youzhou under the protection of Yelu Wuzhi and others.

at last.?

In the end, it was natural that he was elected as the Khitan Emperor by everyone, because the Wanyu Qi who came back knew what they were about to face?
That is the mother and son of Shuluping and Yelu Lihu from Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo.

After the death of her husband Yelu Abaoji, the mother wanted to bury all Yelu Abaoji's close officials in order to seize power.

He is a super ruthless person who can cut off his own wrist in front of everyone after being provoked.

The son is full of muscles, a brainless fool who frequently kills people for entertainment, and the brutal Khitan people can't stand it.

Who knew that the emperor would be buried in the Southern Dynasty when he went back this time, would the empress dowager mother and son be buried for the emperor?

So as soon as they arrived in Youzhou, after a little rectification of the soldiers and horses, they elected Yelu Ruan as emperor, and vowed to hug each other tightly to survive.

Of course Shuluping didn't do it, so Zhang Zhao didn't call, and two groups of Khitan fought a big battle outside Gubeikou.

It's just that the Khitan soldiers and horses brought by Yelu Lihu were terrified that the country was about to perish and would fight internally, so they refused to fight to the death.

On the contrary, the people who returned to the north had no way out, and if they lost, they would end up dying. Under despair, they broke out with extremely strong fighting power.

The Han people in the land of Yanyun were also afraid of Yelu Lihu's brutal reputation, and feared that the Khitan from Liao would kill and retaliate in Yanyun after the victory, so they also supported the people returning from the north.

So there was no suspense in the battle. The 5000 people assembled by Yelu Li and Hudong were easily defeated by the eight thousand cavalry behind Yelu Ruan.

Yeluli Hu lost his helmet and armor, and under the desperate escort of his entourage, he ran back to Liaoyang across Baoqiushui (in Jixian County, Tianjin) in embarrassment.

Since then, Shuluping's mother and son have basically lost the power to bargain. However, because Shuluping still controls the family members of everyone in Youzhou, everyone is afraid that she will go crazy suddenly, so they are afraid to persecute her.

The final turning point came from Liu Zhiyuan. After Liu Zhiyuan met Yeluruan in Dingzhou, the two sides quickly came together because of their confrontation with Zhang Zhao.

At the Dingzhou League, Yeluruan agreed to send [-] Tuyuhun tribes north of Yinshan Mountain to Hedong.

Liu Zhiyuan released [-] cavalry from the Gaosong Department to return to Yanyun, which greatly strengthened Yeluruan's strength.

This became the key to crushing Shuluping's defensive line. Because of the covenant signed with Liu Zhiyuan, Yeluruan won the loyalty of 6000 people from the Gaosong Department. The strength of the troops reached as many as [-] cavalry.

This was almost the last force of the Khitan people, and with the stability of the rear, they were already in an invincible position in the internal competition. Even the Khitan people in the Liao region were unwilling to confront Yeluruan again.

Therefore, amid internal and external persecution, Shuluping could only give up the final resistance to send the Khitan people into the abyss under the persuasion of Liu Zhiyuan's envoy and Yelu Wuzhi, and announced that he agreed to Yelu Ruan's succession.

After all, it was the foundation that she and Yelu Abaoji established together. Although Shuluping was very cruel to himself and others, he still couldn't make up his mind to destroy this foundation directly.

. . . .

In the large tent of the Khitan Emperor, Yelu Wuzhi and Gao Song are persuading Yelu Ruan.

Because of this alliance, Yeluruan not only called Liu Zhiyuan his uncle, but also gave up Shuozhou and Yingzhou among the Yanyun sixteen prefectures to Liu Zhiyuan, so that Liu Zhiyuan could gain the prestige of taking back the Yanyun sixteen prefectures.

For Yeluruan who had just ascended the throne, although Daliao had just been defeated by Zhou State and even the emperor died in battle, it was still one of the most powerful countries in the world.

When he ascended the throne, he didn't expand an inch of land, instead he had to give up the two prefectures of Shuo and Ying first, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Therefore, no matter how Yelu Wuzhi persuaded him, Yelu Ruan never made it clear that he was willing to do so.

Yeluwuzhi, who was thirsty, saw that talking for a long time had no effect, so he could only look at Gao Song at the side, and signaled him to come forward to persuade him.

The 6000 cavalry under Gao Song's command were almost the only Khitan troops that had not been severely beaten by Zhang Zhao, so their combat effectiveness was considerable. As the leader of these [-] people, Gao Song's words naturally carried a lot of weight.

However, Gao Song didn't plan to analyze it from the perspective of the general trend of the world like Yelu Wuzhi and helping each other in the same boat, but asked Yelu Ruan with a smile on his face.

"Does Your Majesty know where Liu Zhiyuan's fatal weakness is?"

Seeing that Yelu Ruan finally had something fresh to talk about, he no longer remained tense and kept silent. He answered directly without even thinking about it.

"Of course, the population in Hedong is insufficient, and the output is not abundant. In the past, the Li family was able to rise in the past, and the Daibei and Hedong warriors lost too much in 20 years. They can no longer bear the heavy responsibility of controlling the Central Plains again."

What Yelu Ruan said was categorical, because not only he had thought about these things, but also his staff and staff had told him a lot, even Yelu Wuzhi had said so.

But Gao Song shook his head, "Liu Zhiyuan's most fatal weakness is not the decline of Daibei and Hedong warrior groups.

But because he is 51 years old this year, the king of Beiping is seven years older than Emperor Taizong.

Before the minister returned to His Majesty, he had recruited him in every possible way, so the minister had observed this person closely. "

Hearing this, Yeluruan couldn't wait, "Teacher tell me, what do you think of Liu Zhiyuan?"

Gao Song made a gesture of calmness, and said slowly: "I found out that Liu Zhiyuan, although he was in a high position, but because of his low status when he was young, he could only fight bravely, so he suffered a lot of injuries. There are many hidden diseases.

After Emperor Shaoming of the Southern Kingdom took control of the Central Plains, he sighed day and night and was extremely worried. He also wanted to appease everyone and compete for Hebei.

Your Majesty thinks this is the image of longevity? "

"You mean, Liu Zhiyuan's life is not long?" Yeluruan was so excited that he stood up and began to walk back and forth.

"I also found out that since Liu Chengxun, the third son, was born ten years ago, Liu Zhiyuan had no children, and Ji concubine had nothing to take in even ten years ago, which can be seen in his physical decline.

I even guessed that Liu Zhiyuan was already inhumane.Like this, can he live another five years? "

After listening to Gao Song's words, Yelu Ruan finally calmed down, and Yelu Yazhi looked at Gao Song with bright eyes.

"In this autumn of life and death, Tai Tuo, please speak freely. If you have any good strategies, you might as well speak up."

Seeing a top Khitan nobleman like Yelu Wuzhi, Gao Song inadvertently revealed a satisfied look on his face after he finally started asking him for advice.

He is from Bohai, if he doesn't have two brushes, how can these Khitan people treat them as their own.

"From my point of view, Zhou Lord Shao Tianzi has achieved great success, if he can divide and rule with Shao Tianzi across the river this time, he will be considered a winner, and then there must be a confrontation between the North and the South.

Our Great Khitan occupies the grassland, if we can annex the people of Hedong and Daibei, we will be qualified to compete with Zhou.

Afterwards, linking Shu, Tang and other countries can at least create the situation of Tuoba's Northern Dynasty.

And to achieve this goal, we have to be inseparable from Liu Zhiyuan's Hedong forces.

I suggest that Your Majesty not only call Liu Zhiyuan an uncle, but also treat him with the courtesy of an uncle, and win over more generals from the east of the river.

The eldest son of King Beiping is sick, and the second and third sons are young. Once the landslide occurs, who will control the overall situation of the alliance between the two countries? "

Yeluruan was fascinated by what he heard, and he was completely absorbed in it. After a while, he took a deep breath, as if he had just returned to reality, and he hammered heavily on the table.

"Okay! For the sake of the world of Daliao, I, Yeluruan, will endure the humiliation for a while!"

However, when Yelu Ruan Junjun and his ministers were discussing in the tent, more than a dozen Xiajiashi knights broke into the prison set up by the Khitans.

They rescued a strong man who had been beaten to a pulp.

Although the strong man was covered with injuries, he was in good spirits. He looked at the people who came to rescue him and said.

"You have done a good job, the noble Khan Ili is our Great Khan, these Khitans are just defeated by the Great Khan, we cannot be traitors.

And the betrayal of Tusage and the others will inevitably be punished by the Khan.

Their tribe will have no corn to eat, no tea to drink, no iron utensils to use.

This is a god-sent opportunity for our Naiman tribe. Let's go to the south and report Tusage and others to the Great Khan. "
