Yelu Hugo didn't expect that he would become the crown prince under such circumstances.

If the Zhou State did not come to attack the Liao State, if the Zhou State failed to defeat the Liao State, if the Zhou State did not storm the Gubeikou and caused Yelu Shulu to send most of the soldiers of the Liaoyang Mansion to reinforcements.

His father, Jeremith, could not have succeeded in a coup d'état.

The Great Liao is about to destroy the country, who cares who the emperor is, the nobles of the Liao State are now thinking, whoever can make the Zhou State stop beating us can be the emperor.

Yelu Wansi sent people to send Yelu Shulu's head and surrender letter to Gubeikou, and the reply was that the Great Zhou did not need the Liao State to surrender, and you could send an envoy to Gubeikou to negotiate peace between Zhou and Liao.

Since Yelu Wansi dared to launch a coup d'état, he must not be a good stubble, and he smelled an opportunity from the change in Da Zhou's attitude towards Liao.

An opportunity for him to take the opportunity to gather and purge the nobles of the Liao State.

An opportunity to justify what he did as an emperor.

Taking advantage of the few days of arranging the mission, Yelu Wansi ordered all the Liao nobles in Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing and Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo to send people to express their submission to the new emperor of the Great Liao, Yelu Wansi, and sent soldiers and horses to send money and grain to Liaoyang Mansion to participate in the defense mission.

Prior to this, many Liao nobles basically maintained a cooperative relationship with the Liao royal family, rather than monarchs and ministers.

The reason why this situation was caused was all because of the sixteen states of Yanyun.

The original Liao State, the heroes of the past dynasties worked hard, cunning and ruthless, and the title of the Khitan wolf clan was definitely not called in vain.

At the time of the great turmoil in the Central Plains, Da Liao took the opportunity to develop all the way to the east in Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, and gradually occupied the entire Liaodong.

Later, he made out Emperor Shi Jingjiao'er's affairs in Liao, and he also gave the sixteen states of Yanyun to Liao.

With this large piece of land that could be used for farming, the nobles of the Liao Kingdom felt that they had found a place in their homes where they could burn and loot at will, so there was no need to run to fight with others.

Each nobleman is equivalent to dividing up Yanyun, each nobleman has its own hunting ground, lack of food and clothing or want to move the muscles, so they go to their own hunting ground to loot, and by the way, they can also grab some Han women back to change their taste.

In addition, in the past 20 years, in addition to the strong soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is no opponent around the Liao State, and even the Northern Han Dynasty, which dares to use "Han" as the national name, has proclaimed himself the nephew emperor to the Liao State, wagging his tail and begging for mercy, which is extremely ugly......

The nobles of the Liao State are even more proud, in the past, the knife came and went, and it was not necessarily possible to grab it every time, but this time it was good, a group of Han untouchables planted the land and raised their daughters waiting for them to rob it.

It can be said that the twenty years of occupying the sixteen states of Yanyun are their ideal way of life for the Khitan people who look forward to the stars and the moon.

With such a comfortable day, the nobles of the Liao State imitated the etiquette system of the Han people, introduced Buddhism from the Central Plains, and lived the life of the Han people they had longed for.

Then, the Hermes-Epitek of Yanyun was arbitrarily plundered and bullied like pigs and dogs.

Today, they sadly realized that the hunting grounds that could allow them to hunt safely were gone, and the various noble tribes of Daliao sent their best warriors to participate in this big trade that was said to be able to directly smash the Kaifeng of the Zhou State, but they didn't want to get the things back, and even the people didn't come back.

The best warriors of the Liao State were either slaughtered by the Zhou army or surrendered and became prisoners of the Zhou State.

It is said that at this time, it has been taken to Kaifeng, waiting for the emperor of Zhou to dispose of it.

The nobles of the Liao State finally knew that they were afraid, and finally realized that if they were not united, the iron hooves of the Zhou army would definitely be able to step into the territory of the Great Liao.

At this time, Yelu Wansi jumped out, killed the emperor Yelu Shulu, who caused the defeat of the Liao State, and stood up and called on the Liao nobles to recognize the crisis of the Khitans and not fall apart again.

And, most importantly, Yelu Wansi claimed that he could bring a ray of life to the Liao State, and thanks to his hard work, the Emperor of the Zhou State finally agreed to negotiate peace with our Great Liao at Gubeikou.

The Khitans seem to have forgotten the pain of losing the Yanyun hunting ground, and they all feel that as long as they are not destroyed, there is still hope.

Therefore, in the current Liao State Palace, although it is still gloomy, everyone's face is at least not desperate.

Brother Yelu looked at Xiao Yanyan, this girl will be his crown princess in the future, everyone is sad, only she is always smiling.

"What can I think, I think that the Zhou State will not dare to cross the Gubeikou at all, the Zhou State now has a lot of enemies around it, if their army breaks through the Gubeikou and enters Liaozhong, if the Northern Han, Southern Tang, Xishu and other places suddenly attack, I am afraid that the Zhou State is in danger of destroying the country."

A smile also appeared on Yelu Huge's face, as if the crisis in the Liao Kingdom in front of him could not affect them.

"Crown Prince, you are still like this, you always like to hide clumsy, in fact, you certainly don't think so."

Xiao Yanyan glanced at Brother Yelu Xiu, for Brother Yelu Xiu and Guo Zongxun, and even Guo Zongrang, in Xiao Yanyan's eyes, they are all the same now.

Yelu Huge became the crown prince, Xiao Yanyan was quite happy, it was impossible for a noble Khitan to marry a lowly Han Chinese, although she seemed to like Guo Zongxun, the prince of Zhou State, more in her heart, but that could only stay in liking, that's all.

As a descendant of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Yanyan will marry the crown prince Yelu Huge in the future.

"Then Yanyan, tell me what you think about the Zhou army stopping at Gubeikou and no longer attacking?"

Yelu Huge's wish has been fulfilled, that is, when he grows up, he can marry Xiao Yanyan as his wife.

His other wish was to defeat Guo Zongxun, the crown prince of the Zhou State, and return back the shame that Guo Zongxun had inflicted on him tenfold and hundredfold.

This wish, with the crushing defeat of the Liao army, became more and more slim.

"I think that something must have happened inside the Zhou Kingdom, otherwise they will definitely not let go of this opportunity to eliminate us in one fell swoop, as for what happened, I can't guess."

"I guess, it should be Guo Rong who has an accident, our boss, I'm afraid that he has become the emperor now."

Jeruhugo finally said his opinion, and he had been delaying it just now, because he had been looking for reasons to refute it in his heart.

As a result, only a major event such as the change of the throne could make the Zhou army stop attacking.

"Prince, you mean that it is the boss who wants to make peace with us? In this way, can we put forward some more conditions? ”

"That's exactly what I'm worried about, boss, we've been with him for so long, when did he let us take advantage......"

Speaking of which, Yelu Xiuge and Xiao Yanyan thought of Guo Zongxun, the high-spirited prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Kaifeng City, at the same time.

Presumably, the boss has really ascended the throne and become the emperor.

That's a great way to congratulate.

"If the boss becomes the emperor of the Zhou State, our Liao State may really have a glimmer of life."

"Prince, when you say that, is that what the boss said before letting us come back?"

"Yes, it is because of the boss's words that I dare to conclude that the boss will not directly destroy us."

"We can't be wiped out, it's a big deal that we go back to the grassland......"

"Yan Yan, this is the horror of the boss, he knows that after we lose Yan Yun, we will pay more attention to Liaozhong, here, we Khitan people have begun to cultivate on the fixed land every year."

"Prince, you mean, the boss is sure that we will compromise, and we are very afraid of returning to the grassland to live a hard life, so no matter what conditions Zhou Guo proposes this time, even if it is to make us vassals, we will agree."

"The most important thing is that Zhou Guo has rejected our surrender letter, and even the head of Yelu Shulu is disdainful, people say that they didn't cut it off with their own hands, it doesn't count as ......"

After Xiao Yanyan and Brother Yelu Hugo chatted for a few words, they were silent at the same time.

The prince of the Great Zhou, who was far away in Kaifeng, must be looking at them coldly at this moment.

"By the way, what are you going to do with the Zhu family's father and son, Yan Yun is lost, it seems useless to keep them anymore?"

Bypassing the topic of discussing the fate of the Great Liao, Xiao Yanyan pulled on the father and son of the Zhu family, a merchant of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"It's a pity to kill them directly, wait until the peace talks are completed."

"It's idle now anyway, it's better to call Zhu Jinliang, I always feel that this businessman of Da Zhou is not a simple person."

"Yanyan, you also see it? I concluded that this Zhu Jinliang was a spy of Da Zhou, but now I am not sure if he was sent by the boss. ”

"If it's okay if the boss sent us, we can talk to the boss directly through him."

"No, I'm going to pretend to be stupid, pretend not to see it for the time being, and you'll have to play a play with me in a while."

"Okay, I guessed your intentions, prince."

When Zhu Jinliang was brought in, Brother Yelu Xiu and Xiao Yanyan had already put on a sad face.

"Boss Zhu, I haven't thanked you for taking us back to Liao, but I've been idle recently, my Great Liao army failed to block the attack of your Zhou army in Gubeikou, Boss Zhu must be very happy."

This is a blatant temptation, Zhu Jinliang smiled in his heart, my Great Zhou Tianchao should have been invincible.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the grass people are just a businessman, everything the grass people do is for profit, in the eyes of the grass people, the more war there is, the better the time to get rich."

The meaning of Zhu Jinliang's words is obvious, whether it is in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty that our father and son are held hostage by you, or when they come here, it is the same for Zhu, in Zhu's eyes, only look at business opportunities.

"Boss Zhu said well, sure enough, the merchant has no borders, and I come to ask you, once the army of your Zhou State hits Liaoyang Mansion and drives our Khitans back to the grassland, will you, the merchant, follow us, or stay and return to your old master?"

Zhu Jinliang smiled and waved at Brother Yelu Xiu and said:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhu doesn't understand national affairs, he only knows that in business, Da Liao is newly defeated, and Da Zhou's morale is flourishing, so why doesn't Da Zhou take advantage of the victory to pursue it? Did you deliberately set aside time for Da Liao to prepare? ”

"I'm afraid that you Da Zhou won't have such a good heart."

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you guessed right, Zhu estimated that the negotiation between the Great Zhou and the Great Liao is likely to be the beginning of the difficult days of the Great Liao Kingdom, please forgive Zhu's straightforwardness, in Zhu's opinion, this is definitely a good time to make a fortune."

Brother Yelu looked at Zhu Jinliang coldly and glanced at the waist knife on the table.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you don't need to look at your waist knife, if you want to make the royal court of Daliao a little better, Zhu is indispensable, first keep the lives of Zhu's father and son, and when the negotiations are over, maybe Zhu will surprise His Royal Highness the Prince."

Yelu Hugo finally held back his murderous intent towards Zhu Jinliang and waved his hand to let Zhu Jinliang retreat.

Zhu Jinliang's mood was actually extremely nervous, the Great Zhou Xiong soldiers were like bamboos all the way, the whole territory of Yanyun was recovered, and the Gubeikou was conquered, and the soldiers pointed to the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo.

The Liao State is no longer the invincible Khitan Kingdom, and it is no longer the Khitan Kingdom that dares to arbitrarily bully the Han people.

However, at this time, Zhu Jinliang unexpectedly fell into the hands of Yelu Xiuge, and soon after following Yelu Xiuge back to Liaoyang Mansion, this noble man became the crown prince of Da Liao today.

If it weren't for the fact that his son Zhu Junsheng was here, Zhu Jinliang himself would have found a way to escape.

You must know that Zhu Jinliang is the iron-blooded secret guard next to Emperor Guo Rong, but he withdrew due to injury.

"Your Majesty, I congratulate the emperor in my heart on successfully recovering Yanyun's hometown, and now that I am in Liao, maybe I will have the opportunity to serve the emperor again."

Back at his residence, Zhu Jinliang saw his son Zhu Junsheng.

"Father, when can we go back to Zhou?"

Zhu Jinliang looked at his son with an anxious face, and sighed in his heart, at this moment, he had only wronged his son first.

"Junsheng, how many times has my father told you, good men are ambitious in all directions, our father and son have now come to Liao by mistake, if you shout to go back every day, do you think the people of Liao will directly kill our father and son, or let us go back?"

Zhu Junsheng stopped talking, these days the Liao people are under house arrest, and the Liao people who are in charge of guarding them said, if it weren't for the mercy of His Royal Highness the Prince, your father and son would have been sent to the Colosseum to feed the tigers.

"Junsheng, learn more from your father, learn more about the customs and language of the Liao people, and you must be prepared to live here for a long time."

"Dad, why me, Dad?"

"Dad naturally has to go around doing business, otherwise how can he have a chance to save the lives of our father and son."

Zhu Jinliang touched his son's head, his ears moved, and outside the door, someone was eavesdropping.

"Dad, are they really going to kill us? So what else did they bring us here for? ”

"Silly boy, here and there, but the Liao people's murderous intentions towards our father and son have always been the same, along the way, your father and I have always tried their best to deal with them, so that our father and son can live until now."

Zhu Jinliang knew that if he continued to pretend to be stupid, it was very likely that he would cause Yelu Xiuge's murderous intentions.

Therefore, I must work hard to play myself as a very unusual businessman of the Great Zhou.

"Dad, then why can't you take me with you when you go out on business?"

"You...... can only stay here, stay in Liaoyang Mansion, if my father does a good job, I will marry you three wives and four concubines. ”

"Dad, I want to write a letter to Ling'er, is that okay?"

"You can write it, you can write as many letters as you want, and after you finish writing, find a box and seal it, don't let your daughter-in-law marry here see it."

"Dad, what about you? You don't marry ......"

Zhu Jinliang patted his head and suddenly realized.

"I really reminded you, Daddy just thought about it for you, marry, why don't you marry, Daddy will marry his daughter-in-law with his son when the time comes......"

The atmosphere in the room seemed to be relaxed again by the topic of marrying a daughter-in-law.

Soon, the conversation between the Zhu family's father and son was presented to Yelu Xiuge word for word.

"Yanyan, what do you think?"

"Can't be killed, or put Zhu Junsheng under house arrest, let Zhu Jinliang help us do business, whether he is Zhou Guo's spy or not, we have to take advantage of it."

"It seems that this is the only way to go."

The people of Liaoyang Mansion are panicking, and the morale of Gubeikou is high.

After Yue Fei led his army to Gubeikou, he immediately dealt with Li Chongjin.

Li Chongjin did not listen to the commander's order, and privately led the army to attack Gubeikou, causing unnecessary casualties, Yue Fei announced the decree on behalf of the emperor, and deprived Li Chongjin of his military position in the army of Liao, and only retained the official position of the Huainan Jiedu envoy, so that he could return to Kaifeng immediately.

This will was given by Guo Zongxun, so it is not counted as Yue Fei's edict.

Li Chongjin is a person, Guo Zongxun is ready to transfer him back to Kaifeng, and let him fight with Zhao Kuangyin for a while.

On the Gubeikou side, Yue Fei has already begun to hand over local government affairs and military affairs to Qian Mao, intentionally or unintentionally.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is still implementing the system of the festival envoy, about this, Guo Zongxun has always wanted to change, the festival degree envoy is actually similar to the local princes, one person monopolizes the local military power, it is easy to make another small court.

To solve this matter, an opportunity is needed, and Guo Zongxun has been waiting.

The Liao State finally sent a delegation for peace talks, and Lü Duan directly threw them a treaty.

"The Gubeikou Treaty, this is the request of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to you Khitans, do it according to the above, you have no qualifications to talk about conditions."

The Liao official in charge of the peace talks looked at it, so what are we talking about, just bring it back to the Great Liao Emperor directly.

The key point is that many of the contents of the Gubeikou Treaty are simply a great shame for the Liao State.

The Liao State went to the emperor and changed its name to the Khitan State, and the king was called the Khitan Lord.

This is a way to deal with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Emperor Li Jing was forced by Guo Rong to go to the emperor and changed his name to the lord of Jiangnan.

In addition, the Khitan State was required to compensate the Zhou State for the war reparations every year for the next fifteen years, which was simply an astonishing amount.

Not only cattle and sheep, but also horses.

If they knew that the Great Zhou Emperor Guo Zongxun also ordered the troops stationed in Youzhou to go out of Gubeikou from time to time to plunder the villages and towns of the Liao State, I don't know how they would feel.

This is actually one of Guo Zongxun's purposes for keeping the Liao State first, wanting to deal with more powerful cavalry in the future, such as Tubo, Tuyuhun, and Western Turks......

It's time to find an opponent and practice hard.

Undoubtedly, the Khitans closest to Da Zhou are the best training objects.

Guo Zongxun is still full of confidence in Yelu Xiuge and Xiao Yanyan.

The "Gubeikou Treaty" was transmitted back to Liaoyang Mansion, and the Great Liao Imperial Palace was gloomy again.

Yelu Wansi couldn't figure out why he was so unlucky, just a few days after he took the throne, why didn't he let him become the emperor, why did he become the lord of the Khitan country.

However, at this time, Yelu Wansi couldn't raise the slightest intention to argue with Da Zhou.

Just when the treaty was sent to Liaoyang Mansion, the 20,000 cavalry of the Great Zhou Hanzi Army, divided into four brigades, went out of Gubeikou and swept the villages and towns in Liaodi.

The Khitans, who have always been proud of being the best in the world of riding and shooting, left their tents, left their horses, picked up hoes, and planted crops.

In the face of the butcher's knife of the Great Zhou soldiers, they didn't even think that they could resist.

The Great Zhou Dynasty soldiers were very interesting, plundering villages and towns in Liaodi, rarely killing people, but robbing women and children, leaving only the old and young men......

This wave of operations was naturally arranged by Guo Zongxun.

After killing all their young and strong, there is no one to farm and raise cattle, sheep and horses, and we will rob whoever we want in the future, we cannot do this kind of unsustainable banditry business.

Therefore, it is necessary to preserve their youthfulness, but to limit the development of their population.

Therefore, snatch their young women and children, bring them back, retire from the Hustile, send a wife and a son or something.

If you just want to receive your wife and not your son, you will not have a special allowance and will not be able to enjoy special treatment in the future.

For Khitan women and children, Guo Zongxun gave the greatest tolerance.

The Khitans who exploited these two generations, in less than fifty years, the Khitans who could fight well would disappear, but the Great Zhou soldiers who could fight well would still be there.

Although Guo Zongxun is very much in favor of the policy of national unity and national integration, in the current era, it is necessary to enslave and bully.

This is an era when the strong are kings, and the reason why the Khitans surrendered to the Great Zhou was because they couldn't beat the Great Zhou, and they were beaten by the Great Zhou and looked for teeth, so they could only give in.

Guo Zongxun was unwilling to do the crazy killing, slaughtering unarmed Khitan women and children, and he was not angry and had no sense of achievement.

It is necessary to be domineering, so Guo Zongxun's current attitude towards the Khitan is to suppress and train the troops strongly.

Yelu Wansi had no choice, so he found the nobles of the Khitan tribes to discuss whether to sign the "Gubeikou Treaty" that humiliated the country.

The Khitan tribes were also frightened by the army of the Great Zhou, and only a few Khitan nobles clamored that they would rather die than sign, but they also did not have the courage to fight against the strong and strong soldiers of the Great Zhou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our Khitan ancestors have endured humiliation and burden, and in our generation, our family and country have declined, and I ...... Alas...... Maybe it's time for me to call myself the Lone King......"

Yelu Wansi's words completely extinguished the idea that the Khitan tribes tried to resist.

The lord of the Khitan country can only call himself the lone king, but not me.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin, who was far away in Kaifeng, did not feel the joy of the victory in Liao.

More than 100,000 Khitan captives were escorted into Beijing to offer prisoners, and the little emperor Guo Zongxun did not even let Zhao Kuangyin appear, but came forward to accept the people's bows and cheers in person.

The front division of the palace said that it was returned to Zhao Kuangyin, but all the generals of the front division of the palace are now in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and they are not allowed to enter the city at all, saying that they will talk about it after the reorganization is completed.

As for how to reorganize, the executor is Cao Bin, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't even have a chance to interject.

"Marshal, the last general is at the will of His Majesty, and before the reorganization of the front division of the palace is completed, the defense and military power of this Kaifeng City are better left in the hands of the last general."

Touching a nail that is neither soft nor hard, Zhao Kuangyin knows that the little emperor is guarding against him all the time.

Killing Shi Shouxin before he returned to Beijing was the first step for the little emperor to deal with him.

Is it to be an honest loyal minister and be at the mercy of the little emperor or to take risks and continue to plan a rebellion?

Zhao Kuangyin rode a horse and walked aimlessly on the streets of Kaifeng City with his own soldiers, and suddenly a person rushed out from the side of the road, shouting:

"General Zhao, General Zhao, Qin is wronged......"
