Chapter 421: Bloody Yanyun
"Very good, tell Li Xianzhong and let him not go to Juyong Pass first! Pass the order down, first clean up the Khitan remnants in the sixteen states of Yanyun! There is also Wu Jue, he has 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and now he should also suppress bandits in Shandong, let him hand over all the things of bandit suppression to Qu Duan, and let him also go north to enter the sixteen states of Yanyun! The Khitans, who have destroyed the country, are far inferior in strength to us, and they are still so arrogant! There is no arrogance of strength, this is looking for death! Yesterday afternoon, we killed the Khitans in the inner city of Yanjing, and this is just the beginning! In the entire sixteen states of Yanyun, we have to wash it in blood, so that the Khitan people can understand who is the master of Yanyun! Zhao Chen said coldly.
Yu Yunwen, Hu Quan, and Zhang Xian nodded one after another.
"Rebel, kill!"
"Whoever despises the court, kill!"
"Whoever kills my Han people, kill!"
"Whoever rapes my Han woman, kill!"
"Those who steal the property of my Han people, kill!"
"Harbouring criminals, kill!"
"Break the curfew, kill!"
"Forced buyers and strong sellers, kill!"
Zhao Chen said more than 20 words of "kill" in one breath, in short, as long as it is a Khitan, as long as it is within the scope of the sixteen states of Yanyun, as long as the crime is committed, no matter how serious it is, it is a dead end!
Zhao Chen wants to kill the sixteen states of Yanyun into a river of blood, completely deter the Khitans, and let the Khitans really wake up and understand the current situation in Yanyun!
"Strict, heavy, fast and ruthless, extinguish the arrogance of the Khitan people to me! But whoever commits a crime, not one will be left behind, and all of them will be killed! Let the Khitan people understand that the sixteen states of Yanyun have changed! The Jurchens are not our opponents, and we are not merciless in killing the Jurchens, let alone the Khitans! Zhao Chen said coldly.
"Your Majesty, this seems to be a bit too ruthless, will it completely force the Khitans to rebel?" Hu Quan said a little worriedly.
"It doesn't matter if we force it back, we just let go of our hands and feet and completely wipe out the Khitan." Zhao Chen said lightly.
"Your Majesty, will this be detrimental to our future rule?" Hu Quan said.
"Don't worry about this, the number of Han people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun far exceeds that of the Khitans! The Han people are our people, and in the future, we will rely on the Han people to govern Yanyun, not the Khitans! In the past two hundred years, the Han people here have been ruled by the Khitans, and our Great Song Dynasty court has been defeated repeatedly in front of the Khitans. Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty is right, we came out of Guanshan, and for so many years, we have always moved forward bravely! Now that we have occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun, we still want the Khitans to be arrogant here, what is going on? Zhang Xian said.
"In troubled times, you need to use heavy codes! Only by letting the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun quickly stabilize and gain a firm foothold here can we draw our hands to deal with the Jurchens in the north! If Yanyun is unstable, the scale of the Khitan man-made rebellion is getting bigger and bigger, and in the future, the sixteen states of Yanyun are full of beacon fires, how can we go north to fight the Jurchens? If Yan Yun makes us anxious, and the Jurchen takes the opportunity to go south, we may still encounter the danger of being attacked from both sides! Therefore, now we must use the most iron-blooded and fastest means to stabilize Yanyun! Yu Yunwen said.
"That's it! Tell Li Xianzhong and Wu Jue to let them go and kill all the Khitans who dare to commit crimes, and don't have any mercy! It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go! This is not because we are cruel, but as Yunwen said, there are Jurchen external troubles outside, and we need to calm down the situation in Yanyun in the shortest possible time! Zhao Chen said.
He looked into the distance with a determined glint in his eyes! Li Xianzhong's 150,000 army, Wu Jue's 50,000 army, a total of 200,000 strong troops who have experienced countless battles have entered the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, if they can no longer control the situation in the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, it will be a joke! The Yanyun Khitan people are only two million, and when the Jurchens arrived, they didn't dare to rebel! Even if there is a rebellion now, it is only a small part of it, how can it be the opponent of a strong army of 200,000?
******
More than 30 miles south of Jizhou, there is an earthen city here.
In the cold winter, thousands of Khitans gathered here.
These Khitans all held all kinds of weapons in their hands, some of which were discarded by the Jurchens, some of which were used by the former Khitan army, and some of which were even some agricultural tools such as hoes.
In a clearing in the center of Tucheng, more than a dozen Khitans gathered together, and they were the leaders of these thousands of Khitans.
The leader is the "Yeluqing" that Yu Yunwen and others said before.
"Dashuai, when are we going to attack Jizhou City?" A Khitan humane.
"Our troops are still a little short! Let's first knock down the villages and towns in Jizhou, let the Khitan people everywhere support us, and then let's attack Jizhou City! Yeluqing said.
"Dashuai, the Han people seem to be a little more powerful over the years, we are not the opponents of the Jurchens, they can defeat the Jurchens, you say, are we the opponents of the Han people?" A Khitan humane.
"Hahahaha, you are afraid of the Han people? Amusing! Ye Luqing laughed for a while and said.
"Dashuai, you haven't said yet, are we Han opponents?" The man continued to ask.
"Whew! What are Han Chinese? For more than 200 years, they have been slaves of our Khitans! The Han people in the Central Plains and Jiangnan are even more vulnerable, and the Han people have to pay tribute to our Khitan every year with gold and silver, and the emperor of the Han people has to call our Khitan emperor grandfather and uncle! Our Khitans went south to fight the grass valley, and none of the Han people dared to come out to stop us! Such an incompetent and cowardly race, you are afraid of them? You have disgraced the face of our Khitans! Ye Luqing sneered.
The Khitan's face turned red and he didn't dare to speak again.
"Actually, the Jurchen is a barbarian, but it is powerful at the beginning, and the more it comes later, the weaker it becomes! It's just that we don't understand this truth, if we had understood it before, we would have turned against the Jurchen a long time ago! Han people, don't be afraid of them, we can defeat tens of thousands of Han people as long as we have a few thousand! The entire Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and even the entire north, will be our Khitan people in the future! Yeluqi said.
"That's what the big marshal said! However, eldest brother, Yelu Yilie, the son of Yelu Dashi, sent someone to find us some time ago, so that we all respect Yelu Dashi as the emperor, rebel together, and expel the Han people, do you say we should listen to him? "There is another Khitan humanitarian.
At the earliest, Zhao Chen had sent someone to contact Yelu Dashi, trying to unite with Yelu Dashi to deal with the Jurchens, and later Yelu Dashi sent his son Yelu Yilie to the south, but unfortunately Yelu Yilie saw that after the strength of the Han people increased greatly, he quietly left the Han army, and now he even instigated the Khitan people in the sixteen states of Yanyun to rebel.
"Yelu Dashi is the hero of our Khitans, but he doesn't know where he is now, his son is just a kid, don't listen to him!" Yeluqi frowned and said.
"Good! Then let's attack other villages and towns, and call on more tribesmen to rise up and expel the Han Chinese. "That Khitan is humane.
They were talking here when there was a screaming sound outside.
"What happened?" Jergy said loudly.
"Marshal Qiqi, there is an army of Han people coming!" A few Khitans in the distance ran over and said in horror.
"How many Han Chinese?" Yeluqi said.
"There are probably more than 10,000 Han Chinese." That Khitan is humane.
"Humph! It's just that there are more than 10,000 Han people, are you afraid of this? Come on, take my armor, let's go and annihilate these more than 10,000 Han people! Yeluqi sneered.
He has always looked down on the Han people, and he has not taken the Han people in his eyes since he was a child! Until the Jurchen invasion, the world was in chaos, and then the sixteen states of Yanyun were occupied by the Han people, he was very unconvinced, he still looked down on the Han people, and was unwilling to accept the rule of the Han people at all! He felt that the Khitans were much more powerful than the Han people, and this stemmed from the wars of the past 200 years! Especially when the Liao State was about to fall, the seed master road went north, and the 100,000 family army was not the opponent of the 10,000 Khitans in the waning West Mountain, and he firmly believed in this idea in his heart! For the Han people to be able to win the sixteen states of Yanyun, he has always felt that it is just a fluke!
At that moment, Yeluqi put on his armor and left Tucheng with thousands of Khitans and headed north.
After only walking more than ten miles, he saw the army of the Han people!
Yeluqi didn't hesitate, and rushed forward with thousands of Khitans at the moment!
The number of the Song army in front was about 10,000 people, including infantry and cavalry.
Seeing that the Khitans actually took the initiative to rush up, the Song army had already laid down their formation.
In front of them were two rows of spearmen crouching on the ground, the tips of their spears pointing forward, behind the spearmen were two rows of crossbowmen, and behind the two rows of crossbowmen were the Divine Arm Archers. On both flanks were cavalry.
The thousands of Khitans were getting closer and closer to here, and they shouted and swarmed forward.
As they got closer and closer to this side, there were still three hundred paces to go, and the Divine Arm Archers began to attack! The bow of the divine arm roared, and suddenly the Khitans in front of him were killed and wounded! The rest of the Khitans were still moving forward, and at this time, the two rows of crossbowmen in the back began to shoot arrows!
Repeated bow and crossbow shots, the Khitans were killed and wounded, and the Khitans were in great confusion.
At this time, the cavalry of the Song army on both flanks began to attack.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Khitans began to flee for their lives! And in the back, the soldiers of the Song Army are constantly chasing and killing!
"Your Majesty has an order, and there is no mercy for the rebels! Not a single Khitan can be spared! Kill them all! The cold voice of the general of the Song army came from behind.
In a full hour, thousands of Khitan corpses were left more than thirty miles south of Jizhou! The Song army is still searching everywhere on the plains, not allowing a single fish to slip through the net!

In Danzhou, the sixteen states of Yanyun, on the street, it is extremely deserted.
On the corner of the street, more than a dozen Khitan teenagers surrounded two Han women in the middle, and they couldn't stop laughing.
"You Han people were originally slaves of our Khitans! It was, it is, and it will be! You two little sluts, hurry up and obey the young masters, if you serve well, you will spare your lives! A long, thin and tall fourteen-year-old Khitan boy laughed.
After experiencing the rule of the Jurchens, the entire sixteen states of Yanyun, whether Han or Khitan, have an obvious characteristic, that is, "thin"! It doesn't matter if you were a commoner or a nobleman before, you were all slaves under Jurchen rule, and no one could have enough to eat! However, after the Jurchens left, the Khitans had a feeling of being human again, they wanted to re-enslave the Han people, even if the Han people had occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun, they still felt that they were the masters of the sixteen states of Yanyun.
"Don't be complacent! The army of our Han people has entered Danzhou! They won't let you go! "Two Han women, one of whom was sixteen or seventeen years old, trembling all over, and the other was only thirteen or fourteen years old, she was also afraid, but stubborn.
"Haha! Han Chinese army? Amusing! The Han army is vulnerable! In a few days, we Khitans will drive your Han army away from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun! Have a good time today, brothers! The Khitan boy laughed.
However, at this time, a group of Song troops arrived in the distance.
"Help! Help me! The thirteen or fourteen-year-old Han girl shouted in fear.
Immediately, that group of Song troops came towards here.
After seeing the scene here, the faces of the Song soldiers immediately turned cold.
"They bullied you?" The Song army said.
"Yes! They bully us! Help us! The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl cried.
"Humph! Both of their parents used to be slaves in my house! My surname is Xiao, and I am a Khitan nobleman, you can ask them, is this so? The two of them are destined to be the young master's playthings! The young master is playing with them, what's wrong? The Khitan boy said.
"Your Majesty has an order, any Khitan, as long as they bully the Han people, will be killed! Come on, kill! Captain Song sneered.
As soon as his words came out, the knife in his hand had already slashed down, and the head of the Khitan boy who had spoken before was immediately cut off! This Khitan boy couldn't believe that he died like this!
The rest of the Khitan boys were taken aback and were about to flee, but the surrounding Song soldiers rushed over and killed them all!
"Someone, send them both home! Tell them and their parents that the sixteen states of Yanyun are already the territory of the Han people! If a Khitan bullied them and asked them to find a random Song soldier on the street, then the Song soldiers would help them kill the Khitans! There is a house over there, which was originally Han Chinese, but it was occupied by a family of Khitans, and according to His Majesty's orders, those Khitans were also killed! Let's go to that house! Captain Song said coldly.
Soon the group of Song soldiers headed towards a house in the distance, and soon there was a screaming sound from the house.

In Mozhou, half a month ago, tens of thousands of Khitans took to the streets, besieged the state government, and were finally rescued by the army.
Today, hundreds of Khitans gathered again, and a few hundred of them went towards the state office! They were not afraid of the Song army, they felt that the Song army would not dare to kill the Khitans!
However, today's situation was different, and before they could reach the state office, countless Song soldiers had already pounced, and they had pressed these bare-handed Khitans to the ground!
"These Han people are cowardly and dare not kill us Khitans!"
"They dare not kill us, but we dare to kill them! Today I didn't bring weapons, but in the coming day, I will bring weapons and kill a group of Han people, they are afraid in their hearts, and they will definitely flee! ”
Those Khitan people actually have such thoughts in their hearts!
However, soon they knew something was wrong! They were tortured by the Song army to extract confessions, and it didn't take long for the Song army to follow these Khitans to their homes! These Khitans were all treated as "rebellions", and all of them were killed by the Nine Tribes!
Starting from October 16, 200,000 troops entered all parts of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and until November 20, for more than a month, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were full of blood! Among the Khitans, anyone who dared to resist the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, anyone who dared to bully the Han people was all killed! The Khitans simply did not have any ability to resist!
