293 Liao prisoners of war were packed into 293 cages, which in turn were loaded into 293 ox carts; 293 ox carts set off from Taihang Mountain to kill the enemy, mighty and slow; Heading towards Bianjing.

The use of ox carts to carry prisoners in cages was Zheng Shuang's invention and a means to demonstrate the military might of the Song State; Song Guotai needed a ceremony to show military might, and Zheng Shuang's form was to sacrifice prisoners in the wilderness; This is unprecedented in the history of the Song Dynasty.

Bianjing is 300 miles away from the enemy Ping on Taihang Mountain, and Zheng Shuang plans to let the ox cart move slowly on this 300-mile long road; Let the people of the Song Kingdom along the way witness the faces of the Khitan thieves, so as to establish the confidence to defeat them.

Creativity always arises in the practice of struggle, and Sun Jincao and others prevented Zheng Shuang's action to release Xiao Tzu Rin in Taihang Mountain; Zheng Shuang changed his means to further humiliate Xiao Tatarzi, so that this invincible Liao Kingdom Yu Yue Heavenly King could taste what it was like to be a prisoner.

When Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty in 960 AD, the Khitan kingdom in the north already existed; It is this Khitan state that has encroached on the borders of the Central Plains since the Tang Dynasty - fought with the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, and Later Zhou.

When the Song Dynasty conquered the Northern Han Dynasty in the north, the Khitans made an obstacle and supported the Northern Han to resist the Song State; The Khitans and the Song Dynasty can be described as feuds.

After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, it fought with the Liao State for more than 40 years, and it turned out that there were fewer victories and more defeats, and Yang Ye, the general of the Song Dynasty, was also captured alive by the Liao people and died of hunger.

The reason for this is not that the Song Dynasty lost the natural barrier of the northern border, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were dedicated to the Khitans by Shi Jingjiao, the ancestor of the Later Jin Dynasty, for the Emperor, and from then on the Central Plains Dynasty was completely on the defensive strategically; And the cavalry of the Liao army is like locusts, when they want to fly over the sixteen states of Yanyun and rob in Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi.

The Song Dynasty was an agricultural civilization that evolved over thousands of years, and it was an ancestral tradition to settle down and keep working; However, Xiucai was unclear when he met the soldiers, and the agricultural civilization encountered the steppe iron cavalry that had just evolved from the slave society; It is clear which is stronger and which is weak.

In the process of human society's development, sometimes civilization is often not a barbaric opponent; For example, in the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, who unified the Central Plains, could only adopt a friendly approach to ease the relationship between Yi and Di.

Li Shimin, the wise emperor of the Tang Dynasty, also encountered the dilemma of the 200,000-strong army of the Turkic Jili Khan besieging Chang'an.

The savagery and toughness of the steppe peoples cannot be underestimated, and it has been on the agenda since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty; And the Tielin army of the Liao people seems to be stronger than the previous Turkic Hun cavalry.

Once the iron cavalry of the Liao people broke into the territory of the Central Plains, the bandit culture of "fighting the grass valley" would ravage the civilization and glory of China.

Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, wisely saw the strength of the Khitans clearly, and felt that it was difficult to subdue them by force; He planned to raise money to buy back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun from the Khitan.

How naïve and naïve is this? The Song State coveted the sixteen states of Yanyun, how could the Khitans be insensitive? The sixteen states of Yanyun are anointed places; There is gold everywhere, and the sixteen states of Yanyun can annex the Central Plains; Retreat can stick to the grassland, and the Khitans will never give up their rights to the sixteen states of Yanyun.

The second emperor of the Khitan was Yelu Deguang Liao Taizong, who was the second son of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji; His mother is Emperor Ying Empress Dowager Shu Yuhei.

Yelu Deguang officially assumed the throne with the support of his brave and resolute mother Shu Luping, and began to realize his dream of being the lord of the Central Plains.

Drowsiness met a pillow, and the envoy of the Eastern Festival of the Later Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingjiao, the Duke of Zhao and the late Tang Emperor Li Congke, competed for imperial power, and on the condition of being called the son and ceding the sixteen states of Yanyun, the sixteen states of Yanyun were to be dedicated to Yelu Deguang; But it is hoped that Yelu Deguang will send troops to defeat Li Congke.

Yelude couldn't ask for it, and assisted Shi Jingjiao in the Tang Dynasty; Helped Shi Jingjiao establish the Later Jin Dynasty, and Shi Jingjiao became the Emperor Taizu of the Later Jin Dynasty.

In the first year of the same year (938 AD), Yelu Deguang changed the imperial capital to Shangjing, reformed the official system, divided the north and south and implemented the division of Hu and Han.

Yelu Deguang was the first Fanyi Emperor in history to propose one country, two systems.

The northern officials of the Liao State governed the Khitans with the old Khitan system, and the southern officials governed the Han people with the Han system.

Yerod also set up taxes, rewarded farming, and developed production.

In the ninth year of the meeting (946 AD), Yelu Deguang led the army of the country to the south to capture Bianjing; After captivity, the Jin Dynasty came out of the Emperor Shi and destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty, and changed the name of the Khitan State to Da Liao.

Yelu Deguang realized his long-cherished wish to be the emperor of the Central Plains, and did not change his bad habits after accepting eight bows from the ministers in Bianjing; instigated the soldiers to continue to "fight the grass valley", causing the Han people on both sides of the Yellow River to resist with arms; The Liao Dynasty's rule in the Central Plains was turbulent, coupled with years of war, the Khitan nation could not bear the suffering; Yerod had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the north.

After Yelu Deguang returned to the grassland, the Song Dynasty was not established, and after Yelu Deguang died; Liaojingzong Yeluxian ascended the throne, Yeluxian was a very accomplished emperor; During his reign, the Han official system was reused to eliminate malpractices, and the Liao State appeared in Zhongxing.

Ye Luxian attaches more importance to the natural barrier of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and Zhao Kuangyin's plan to buy it with coins can only be seen in the fog.

Zhao Kuangyin left the west when the sun was like the middle of the sky, and Zhao Guangyi, who was ambitious and talented, took despicable means to ascend to the throne; It was for Song Taizong.

Song Taizong was determined to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun by force, but the two wars of Gaoliang River and Yongxi's Northern Expedition were fought by the Liao, and only one trouser remained; He himself was lucky enough to escape with a cluster of arrows.

Song Taizong, who picked up a life from the Liao people's iron horse, no longer mentioned the matter of recapturing the sixteen states of Yanyun. , after the death of Liao Jingzong, his son Yelu Longxu inherited the throne and was Liao Shengzong.

Liao Shengzong was only 12 years old when he ascended the throne, and the power of the court fell into the hands of his mother, Xiao Xuan; Xiao Xuan's nickname is Yanyan, and he has the means of Wu Zetian, and the national strength of the Liao Dynasty reached its peak during the period of assisting his son.

Xiao Yanyan's dispute plot is on par with the ancestor Yelu Deguang, and her ambition to be the lord of the Central Plains is getting stronger and stronger; During the period of assisting Liao Shengzong, he constantly launched an offensive against the Song State, but on the Song Dynasty's side, the cowardly Xiangwang Zhao Heng ascended the throne.

Zhao Heng is not Xiao Xuan's opponent at all, but Zhao Heng also has a good side; That is, the development of socio-economic and socio-cultural development; "The rule of Xianping" can be called the "rule of Zhenguan" of the Tang Dynasty.

The rule of Xianping is famous all over the world, creating a precedent for the economic, scientific and technological and cultural prosperity of the Song Dynasty, but the military weakness of the Song Dynasty is a gamble shared by everyone; Fought against the Khitans and was repeatedly defeated.

The Song Dynasty urgently needed a military victory to boost morale, and the 293 Khitan soldiers captured by Zheng Shuang at Taihang Mountain was undoubtedly a rare victory.

Zheng Shuang took advantage of this victory to hold a vigorous prisoner sacrifice ceremony, which was undoubtedly very happy; Something that boosts morale.

293 ox carts were laid out in a line on the killing floor of Taihang Mountain, and 293 Khitan Tatars stood in the cages on the ox carts; One by one, they are like drowning rats, gray and not slipping, bowing their heads and ears.

Xiao Tzu Rin was escorted by Lin Fang and Jian Rong to the first car to stand still, and her head sticked out of the cage; with a wooden flail around his neck; There is a guilty card inserted in the back of his head, which reads: "Khitan enemy chief Xiao Tart Rin Chop", and the word chop is drawn with a big red paint pen with a big red circle; There is a big × on the red circle, isn't this formation to humiliate this guy?

That's right, Zheng Shuang wants to humiliate Xiao Tzurin; Before he was released, this was because Sun Jincao and others resolutely opposed Zheng Shuang's decision to release Xiao Tzulin, and Zheng Shuang took a step back before this scene appeared.

After Xiao Tzulin, the invincible general of the Liao State, was captured by Zheng Shuang's men, Zheng Shuang said that he planned to release Xue Jin'er for his safety; At that time, Xiao Tzu Rin seemed to see the dawn rising in the east.

But the luck psychology is fleeting, but he is put in a cage; The other soldiers were also escorted by the Song army to the wilderness and taken prisoner.

Xiao Tzurin's face was pale and sallow, and the snickering joy that had risen just now was gone; A soldier can be killed but not humiliated, if there is a knife by his side; Xiao Tzu Rin will definitely kill himself to show his will.

But now he can't survive or die, so he can only watch Song Jun's insults to him.

Wooden shackles were around their necks, and people were framed in cages and loaded on ox carts; It's just a trivial matter to have a guilty card on his back, and the people of the Song Dynasty who stood aside and beat him with stones and dirt were Xiao Tzu Rin who saw his end coming.

Zheng Shuang, this kid, didn't believe his words, and said that he wanted to release himself to rescue Xue Jin'er, but he was so insulted; Let the common people hit this king...... Xiao Tzu Rin cursed viciously in his heart, glaring angrily at the ordinary people who threw stones at him.

The common people don't care about Xiao Tzu Rin's straight eyes, they have been bullied enough by the Khitan Tartars over the years; Now that he has finally been caught by the army, what is the blood without venting some anger!

The common people heard that the Liao army had been captured in Taihang Mountain, and the army gathered from Xiangzhou and Anli from all directions.

And more than a dozen messengers sent by Zheng Shuang Wei Sheng and Wei Chun rode back to the capital on fast horses to report the news, and took the opportunity to spread the news of the capture of the Liao army; It was only then that the people of the eight towns became in an uproar.

Everyone rushed to the scene to witness with their own eyes how the Khitan Tatars were escorted to the capital by the Song army, and some even brought their families with them.

Over the years, the people of Xiangzhou and the Amway Army have rarely seen the imperial army capture the Khitan Tartars; And the tragic situation of Huang Wenyong, the governor of Xiangzhou, and the corpses of the 200 Xiangjun in the wilderness, the people thought that they had lost their eyes.

Zheng Shuang asked his subordinates to explain to the people: After the Khitan Tatars killed Huang Wenyong, the governor of Xiangzhou, and the 200 Xiang Army, they were captured by the loyal and brave army of the Right Xiang of the Great Song Dynasty.

After Tian Dawei, the general judge of Xiangzhou, led the state officials to the scene, faced with the corpses of Huang Wenyong and 200 Xiang soldiers, he insisted on leading 200 Xiang soldiers to arrest the thieves for the sake of fame and fortune; In the end, it ended up in this fate; It's a pity! ”

Zheng Shuang saw that Tian Dawei was wise, and asked him to mobilize skilled craftsmen to make cages and wooden flails, and collect ox carts for the use of the army, Tian Dawei acted resolutely; After mobilizing the craftsmen in the territory at night, 293 ox carts, prison cages, and wooden flails were created.

The prisoner cart circled eastward, Zheng Shuang was dressed in a scarlet robe and wrapped in gold chain mail; Wearing a golden helmet, decorated with a red tassel, hanging a shadow sword at his waist, carrying a sky-shaking bow on his shoulder, holding a Fang Tian Qilin halberd, and his mount is a red charcoal fire dragon horse; He is more than six feet long, with beautiful eyebrows, white teeth and red lips, and a thin waist and arms......
