Liu Yanzong in the official history can be regarded as a figure at the turn of Liao, Jin and Song dynasties. In Liao, he was the left-behind judge and signed the Privy Council, and he was the second deputy of the Nanjing Road Guard, and the adjutant of the Privy Council. After the gold was reduced, the official went to the Zhongshu Sect to Ping Zhang, the Privy Council, and the servant, and followed Yan Zonghan [sticky and drunk] to attack the Northern Song Dynasty, and there were many strategies.

But in this time and space, he is destined to not achieve such a great achievement. Gai because Lu Qi's court ministers had already occupied most of the key official positions, so there was room for a demote like him to exert his ability?

Maybe his ability is not weaker than Zong Ze and Wen Huanzhang, but so what, it is impossible for Emperor Lu to replace his old friend and promote him as a newcomer.

Liu Yanzong also understood that if he joined Lu Qi, he would not have a great future of surrendering to the Jurchens. Because the former already has a set of self-imposed systems, there is no obstacle to ruling the sixteen states of Yanyun. The Jurchen system is backward, only on the grassland and has shortcomings, not to mention the capture of the Han land, the cultural backwardness determines that Aguta can only fully implement the Han system when facing the land of Yanyun. Under such circumstances, he is a capable and influential figure in Yanyun, and his future is not too bright.

However, due to the current situation, the Jurchens were defeated, and the Aguta army was defeated in Xijin Mansion, oh, now it is Yanjing City, and the dazzling name of Dajin Kingdom is covered with a black veil, so there is no need to think about the latter. Liu Yanzong didn't want to see the collapse of his family, so he could only seize the opportunity to achieve great merit and please Emperor Lu.

Han Qixian thought the same thing.

Therefore, seeing that the gate of the urn city was broken, Liu Yanzong didn't show joy on his face, stood up, and hurriedly ordered: "Drum and cheer, hurry up and cheer!" ”

An order was given, and the soldiers immediately responded, and the soldiers beat the war drums, and the sound shook the sky. And the Han army outside the city also suddenly shouted, like a tsunami in the mountains. A large crowd of soldiers poured into the city gates like a tidal wave.

The arrows fell on the city like raindrops, and there were not many soldiers in the hands of Yelu Songshan, but now that the urn city was broken, a large number of Han army troops poured into the urn city, holding bows and arrows to shoot at the city. Almost in the blink of an eye, the defenders of the urn fled backwards.

Seeing this, Liu Yanzong's face was overjoyed, quickly take down the place in front of him, pacify Jizhou City, and report the good news to Xijin early, no, it is Yanjing City. He can also breathe a sigh of relief when he is angry.

Thinking like this, the shouting and killing sound kept coming, and after listening to it for a while, knowing that the overall situation had been decided, Liu Yanzong sighed: "That Yelu Songshan, I heard that he has always been loyal and brave, but unfortunately this person is a Khitan remnant, I'm afraid I won't be able to see each other." "Based on Liu Yanzong's understanding of Yelu Dashi, the latter will never commit suicide with a knife, but Yelu Songshan, as well as the second general of Yelu Tiege, I am afraid that he will not see a new face.

As soon as this wall is broken, the entire Jizhou City will be crushed by the army, and the two of them can only die. For the two generals, Liu Yanzong felt a little sorry.

The two have a good reputation, sympathetic to their subordinates, but they are serious about military discipline and loyal to the court, so they have come to the point where they are fighting to the death, and they are quite capable, but unfortunately, each is its master.

"Liu Xianggong, if Yelu Songshan doesn't die in battle, he will be escorted to Xianggong, why can't he see it?" Liu Yanzong had a Han army general beside him saying.

Liu Yanzong shook his head and said: "Da Shi Linya can be literate and martial, and he is magnanimous, and he is very popular with his subordinates. Yelu Songshan, Yelu Tiege, Xiao Hulira, Xiao Ra Abu, Yelu Shuxue and others are all quite talented. …… It's a pity that due to the temperament of these people, I am afraid that many of them will not be able to return to the new dynasty. "Among them, Yelu Song Mountain and Yelu Tiege are the most fierce.

The surroundings listened, although they were skeptical, but they did not say anything.

At this moment, the city gate in the urn city was also broken. Although there are still people in the city and below the city who are fighting to the death, how can they stop the Han soldiers who pour in like a tide, although they shout to kill the sky for a while, and the battle is fierce, but it is like a beautiful firework shining at night, and it cannot be held for a long time.

Time passed minute by minute, and the surging Han'er army seemed to be forever killed, and the resistance in the city was weakening day by day.

"Don't quit! Resist, rush up for me, resist them! ”

"Kill! Kill all these thieves and birds, kill all the Khitan thieves—"

The shouts and killings one after another slowly shrank from the entire city to the surroundings of the Yamen, the capital of Jizhou.

The few Khitan soldiers and Xi soldiers in the city and the Han army loyal to Yelu Dashi resisted fiercely, but the difference in numbers between the two sides was too great. Liu Yanzong and Han Qixian responded from the beginning, which has already disrupted the arrangement of the defenders in the city, and when the city is broken, where will there be hope?

Han Qixian finally breathed a sigh of relief. If this can't be done, when Hui Libao gets the news, he will return to the horse with a blow, don't look at the Han'er army outside Jizhou City, there are more than 20,000 people, but it can't block the blow of tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers and Xi soldiers. At that time, Liu Yanzong will still be able to run, and he will be a turtle in the urn.

In this rebellion, the price he paid was far better than Liu Yanzong, but his credit was slightly inferior to Liu Yanzong, because the main force of this battle was the Han'er army outside the city, which was in the hands of Liu Yanzong. Han Qixian knew this very well, but he still chose to cooperate, the reason was not anything else, but that he asked for a step forward. And his influence in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is even weaker than Liu Yanzong. At least in the eyes of Ye Luchun and Li Chuwen, he is a cut below Liu Yanzong. Otherwise, the letter was really delivered to Liu Yanzong first? So that the latter did not need to move, and then took the initiative.

This is an objective fact, and he has no choice but to cooperate.

And the results are excellent. After taking Jizhou City, there is a city to rely on outside, and there are more than 20,000 Han troops inside, not to mention returning to Bao to lead the army to kill, that is, Yelu Ma Wu and Guo Yaoshi all lead the army to kill, and there is no worry about trapping the city in the short term.

"How's it going?" He asked the servant who had just returned with the news.

"Master, there is no longer a large group of enemy troops on the street, and the latter have all retreated to the vicinity of the state government to defend and resist, and there are now a thousand people who have surrendered to our army."

"Alas, if it weren't for the stubbornness of Yelu Dashi, why did so many soldiers die in vain? Tell General Gao and General Li that they should just drive the troops to the back to guard, and all those who resist will be exterminated! Han Qi said first, his face first showed a touch of sadness, and then he couldn't help but show a trace of ruthlessness.

The happiness brought by the victory washed away the depression that Yelu Dashi gave him, and made the mood very good. In this battle of Jizhou, he has made a great contribution, and the new dynasty will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and there will be great rewards. Thinking of this, his mood suddenly became more relaxed.

As for the old friendship with Liao, it has been completely forgotten.

"Tianzuo has been on the throne for 20 years, worshipping the belief and treacherous return, self-defeating the country, and centrifugal from the group, so that the country Zuo collapsed and could not be restored, and there was no resentment against others. And the Central Plains is vigorous, the Lord of Qi inherits the mandate of heaven, raises the virtuous army to defeat the unreasonable king, responds to the people, restores the homeland, and is justified. We are Han'er, so we should abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and raise the banner of righteousness together......" The words that persuaded the second general Gao Li that day are still clear in my ears today.

One group of people retreated, and another group of people poured out. The absolute superiority in strength made the Han'er army like a sea wave, endless.

The knife and gun in his hand were raised high, and every time he swung down, it would bring a bright red, and the air was already filled with a bloody atmosphere.

"Rush! Fight for these rebels! There were Khitan officers raising their arms and shouting.

The battle did not become easy because of the weakness of the enemy army inside, but the fighting was even more tragic, which made Han Qixian very angry.

was about to ask the second general Gao Li to increase his strength, "Han Xianggong, Liu Xianggong has an order, let you suspend the offensive!" At this moment, someone outside suddenly came with Liu Yanzong's order.

Han Qi first intended to take down the state government and capture Yelu Dashi alive, but he couldn't help but obey, so he had to ask General Gao Li to stop. Because the resistance of the yamen of the state capital was fierce, it was obviously not possible to take it in a moment.

He could choose not to obey the order, but if Liu Yanzong led the army to arrive at that time, he would not be able to enter the state government, and the situation would be embarrassing.

Soon the army arrived.

Liu Yanzong, who came to fight the horse, swept his eyes over Han Qixian, whose complexion had returned to normal, looked ahead, and asked with a sigh: "Da Shi Lin Ya Wu doesn't want to think about his subordinates?" ”

Han Qi was silent first, and only gave a glance to General Gao Li, who understood and stood up to reply. "So that Liu Xianggong knows that there are only a few hundred remnants of soldiers left in the corner to resist stubbornly, please take a moment for the two of them at the end, and they can be swept away without much effort."

"The two generals want to make meritorious contributions, and there will be opportunities in the future, so why be anxious." Liu Yanzong said with a smile, the expression on his face was very affinity, but the face of General Gao Li became ugly. Liu Yanzong didn't care about it, and looked at the generals on the left and right: "The Great Qi Emperor is powerful all over the world, and his courage should be far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties." In the future, there will be more fights and meritorious contributions, do you think this is the truth? ”

How did the generals of the left and right armies not know Liu Yanzong's purpose, and immediately echoed and said: "What Liu Xianggong said is very true, two brothers, you have made great contributions, and now you will give this to the brothers." lest we wait to see the new Lord without a glorious face. As he spoke, he just called the soldiers and horses to rush forward.

Liu Yanzong was very satisfied, glanced at it, and said, "In this way, Han Xianggong and I will wait for your good news." ”

The first army general was so unhappy, he hugged his fists and said: "Feelings Liu Xiang's peace of mind." As soon as he spoke, he immediately stepped forward.

This strategy rebelled against the 20,000 or 30,000 Han army, and the credit for taking Jizhou City is very great, but it can be divided between Yeluchun and Li Chuwen first, and then Liu Yanzong and Han Qi will be stabbed first, and the rest of the credit can fall on their heads. Now to break the state capital and capture the big stone forest tooth alive is a new achievement.

Xiang that the Great Qi court has already wanted to dominate the mountains and rivers, and it can also be said that the big war and the big merit are gone, and now this small war feat, for these generals, it is also the basis for the future wife and shadow.

No one wants to let it go for nothing. Therefore, when the sound of fighting sounded again, the two armies fought to the death, only more fierce than before.

The Inner Courtyard of the State Government

The blue sky, a round of winter hanging high, the sun is warm and sprinkled on the body, although the killing sound is not far away, but the courtyard is still quiet.

Yelu Songshan is a martial artist, and his cultural level is not high, so he can't experience this kind of quiet beauty on weekdays. At the moment, he felt that the silence was really good, and the sun made him lazy.

The servants, documents, etc., in the state office, were all cleaned up and sent to the other courtyard. At this moment, there are only more than a dozen ironclad soldiers left inside and outside this small courtyard.

"General, now that it's over, you're going to descend!" The pro-general Sage only hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke. If it doesn't come down, it's too late.

Sage had only followed Yelu Songshan for several years, and when the latter heard this, he was first angry, and then sighed and said, "I know your intentions, and you want me to live." But Your Majesty was captured, Da Liao has reached the end of the road, as a child of the Yelu family, how can I defect if I don't die and die and die for the country? ”

"I let Da Shi Linya and the others escape from the city early, because Da Shi Linya is excellent in civil and military affairs, and if he doesn't die, there is a possibility that those two points will retain a wisp of royal spirit in the Khitan. And I, Yelu Songlin, am only a martial artist, so why should I die? "Yelu Songshan is sticking to Jizhou as a containment, and he already has the intention of death. For the sake of the present, how can you be greedy for life and fear death, and live in the world? If you do that, you'll be a real disgrace.

Sage only had tears in his eyes, knelt down and said: "Since the general has made up his mind, how can the villain retreat." "Left and right are just a death.
