Zhao Chen and Wu Jue led thousands of soldiers and horses to walk forward.

A quarter of an hour later, they came to the town.

At this moment, the army has surrounded the place.

Because it was dark, the town was quiet, and only a few villagers patrolling the village were active.

The army outside was carrying torches, and when they saw the army outside, the villagers who were patrolling were startled, and they ran back as fast as they could, constantly beating gongs and shouting loudly!

Their shouts are not in Chinese, but in Khitan!

This town is a small town of the Khitan people, and all the people living in it are Khitans!

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were originally the traditional territories of the Han people, such as Yanjing, which was originally the capital of the Yan State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period! The Han people settled in the sixteen states of Yanyun two thousand years ago! Later, the Khitans got the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and a large number of Khitans also moved here, so now there are many Khitans here, and there are many villages composed of pure Khitans like this.

Soon, the lights came on in the town, and a loud noise came!

More than 200 Khitan youths came outside with torches and weapons, but when they saw the number of troops outside, these Khitan youths were stunned all of a sudden!

With a bang, they ran towards the village, and it wasn't long before the village was calm again.

Everyone turned off the lights in their homes, and countless Khitans hid in the most secluded places in their homes, trembling lest the army sack the town.

"Go in and take all the important strongholds!" Wu Jue said.

More than 2,000 soldiers rushed into the town, occupying all the important road intersections and important buildings in the town.

At this time, Zhao Chen, Wu Jue and others entered the town.

Over the years, the world has been in turmoil, but this town may be by the sea, and it has not suffered many military disasters. It seems that the buildings of this town are still very intact, and the town shows no signs of being deserted.

"Go find a few people!" Zhao Chen said.

At that moment, the soldiers beside him immediately headed towards some of the surrounding courtyards.

Soon, there were screams of terror from the surrounding courtyard.

After another while, more than a dozen Khitans were pulled out, and they were brought to Zhao Chen and Wu Jue.

These dozen Khitans didn't dare to look up at who was standing in front of them, they had already hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing constantly.

"Ask them what kind of place this is?" Zhao Chen said.

A staff member next to him began to ask these Khitans in Khitan dialect.

"Your Majesty, this is the southernmost part of Jizhou, and there is a Nanhe Village in the west, where Jurchen soldiers were originally stationed, but now it is empty." Staff said.

"Ask them if they have seen our Han soldiers passing by." Zhao Chen said.

The staff nodded.

"Your Majesty, our troops passed through here two months ago! They didn't stop here, and went south to Cangzhou. The staff said.

"Your Majesty, to the south here is Cangzhou, and to the west is Bazhou, Xiongzhou, Baoding Army and other places!" Wu Jue said on the side.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Hebei and Shandong were strategic locations to resist the Khitans. Bazhou, Xiongzhou, and Baoding were the first line of defense established by the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhendingfu, Zhongshan, and Hejian were the second lines of defense established by the Northern Song Dynasty, and Handan, Daimyofu, etc. were the third line of defense. Now the location of Zhao Chen and others is the south of Tianjin in later generations, which is almost a line with Hejian and Zhongshan, Cangzhou to the south, and Dezhou to the southwest.

"Immediately send someone to inform the army generals in Jizhou, Cangzhou and other places, and ask them to send someone to meet me! Let people contact Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Li Xianzhong, Zhao Zhe and others, and let them report the situation in various places! The Jurchens don't know where they are now, whether they are in Hedong or Hebei? If they came to Hebei, I was afraid that Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others would also go east, and send someone to contact them and let Yu Yunwen and others go to Yanjing City! Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen came to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures from Jiangnan, and the first thing he had to do now was to reconstruct the imperial court and gather the main institutions and main personnel of the imperial court to his side, so that he could deal with the situation in the sixteen states of Yanyun and the Central Plains! For example, now, there are only Wu Jue, Wang Shu and others beside him, and there are also several Zhang Jing from the Military Aircraft Department following him, he doesn't know the other situations in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the Central Plains, as if his ears and eyes are unknown, and now he must get in touch with various places first!

The dozen or so Khitans were still kneeling there, and their hearts were terrified.

Some time ago, there was a Han army passing by, and those Han armies were different from the others, and they were all glad that they did not invade them. Although there was also an army of Han people in front of them, they didn't dare to guarantee that these Han armies in front of them would not burn and loot, so they were very worried.

The Khitans and the Han people have a feud that has lasted for almost 200 years, and they don't believe that the Han people will not take revenge!

Zhao Chen looked at the Khitan people at his feet with a faint smile on his face.

In the past, the Khitan people were the most powerful people in the East Asian continent, and the Liao State was also the largest country in East Asia, with more national strength and military strength than the Great Song Dynasty! Whether it is Western Xia, Goryeo or some countries in Central Asia, they all respect Liao as their suzerain! It's just two hundred years, and the Liao people are just like the change of dynasties in China, and at the end of the dynasty, they no longer have the courage and force they once had, and they were wiped out by the Jurchens! Now, they are going to accept the rule of the Han Chinese!

From now on, the sixteen states of Yanyun will once again belong to the Han people, not only that, but the vast grasslands in the north, and the urban agglomerations such as Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Tokyo in the former Liao Kingdom will also belong to the Han people!

The Khitans have been in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for almost two hundred years, before the Jurchen invasion, they were all high, they could enslave the Han people, scold and insult the Han people, they were the masters of the Han people! Now that the Han people have become the masters of this land, they may not be able to accept this fact!

Zhao Chen could predict that there would inevitably be countless Khitan rebellions in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, which would be a challenge for him.

Even if the Jurchens in the Central Plains are completely wiped out, then stabilize the situation in Yanyun, stabilize the situation in the Central Plains, restore the prosperity of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and restore the prosperity of the Central Plains, these are all challenges!

It can be said that he will face countless challenges in the coming period!

"I have lived a comfortable life in Jiangnan for almost half a year, and now I have come to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and there will be many challenges, this is the life I want! Before A-Yao gives birth to a child for me, I want to let Yanyun and Zhongyuan settle down first! Zhao Chen said secretly.

"Your Majesty, let's set up camp here and wait for news from Jizhou, Cangzhou and other places!" Wu Jue said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

At present, Wu Jue's army was camped around the town, and Zhao Chen and others also lived in the camp.

******

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Chen, Wu Jue, Wang Shu and others led a thousand soldiers to the town again.

There is a temple in the town!

The belief in Guan Gong emerged from the Jin Dynasty and began to flourish after the Song Dynasty! In the Song Dynasty, the statue of Guan Gong was placed in the yamen, and this tradition continued to later generations, and the Hong Kong police still had to worship Guan Gong in the 20th century! As for the underworld, not to mention, Second Master Guan is the embodiment of brotherly righteousness! Wherever the Han people went, the Guan Gong faith was also brought to that place.

Now there is also a Gong Temple in this Khitan town.

At that moment, Zhao Chen, Wu Jue, Wang Shu and others sat down in the Guan Gong Temple, and someone went to "invite" the respected Khitan people in the town to come over.

After a quarter of an hour, more than 20 Khitans were pushed to the Guangong Temple.

These more than 20 Khitans immediately knelt down!

Yesterday was the night, and Zhao Chen did not "disturb" the Khitans, but during the day today, he had nothing to do for the time being, and he just looked for these Khitans to understand the people's feelings in the sixteen states of Yanyun.

He looked at these Khitans, and saw that these Khitans were all dressed in shabby! Originally, there were landlords and rich peasants in any place, but the world was in chaos, the Jurchens did all kinds of evil, and the original landlords and rich peasants in the sixteen states of Yanyun and the Central Plains have disappeared! Zhao Chen could see that these Khitans were skinny, so they were by no means deliberately wearing shabby clothes to deceive themselves.

"Come, give me a seat!" Zhao Chen said.

At that moment, the soldiers brought chairs, and these Khitans hesitated for a while and sat down.

The Khitans lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look ahead, but there was a Khitan man in his forties who was secretly looking forward.

His head was down, but his eyes pressed forward desperately when he wasn't looking.

Finally, he saw Zhao Chen's appearance, and he didn't care too much in his heart, but after a while, he froze there, and his whole face showed a shocked expression.

"Do you recognize me?" Zhao Chen said in surprise.

He had already seen the man's small movements, and he didn't care too much.

"No, I don't recognize it!" The man said hurriedly.

The staff next to him had not translated Zhao Chen's words into Khitan dialect, and this person actually opened his mouth to speak, and Zhao Chen was stunned.

Because the Han and Khitan people live together in the sixteen states of Yanyun, most Han people speak Khitan dialect, but there are not many Khitan people who can speak Chinese! In general, only the Khitan aristocracy would learn Chinese in order to deal with the Han Chinese in the future.
