Needless to say, the Zhejia army has been guarding Fuzhou for a long time, and naturally has a good grasp of the situation in the opposite Liao Guowu and Shuo Erzhou, and this time the Jinliao decisive battle in Linhuang Mansion, the Liao State because of the "poison pill" that Song Liao and his relatives ate at the beginning, and the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo was coincidentally damaged by the huge flood of the Yellow River, so the defenders of the Song-Liao border were evacuated in their hearts.

Think about it, only such an important place as Yanjing Xijin Mansion of Liao State has left more than 20,000 defenders, and where can there be more troops left in Wu, Shuo Erzhou and Datong Mansion. According to the news of the Zhejia Tanma, there are no more than 6,000 Liao troops left in Wuzhou today, and Shuozhou is also a hot spot for defense in the western Song and Liao regions because it faces Yanmen Pass, so the defenders are also more, about 10,000 people.

As for Datong Mansion, it is said that there are only about 3,000 people, but if you count the families, private slaves and military forces raised by the wealthy families in the mansion, it is not too many to gather 10,000 people. After all, Datong Mansion is also a big city in Liao, and the people in the city are said to have 200,000 people.

However, according to Zhi Kezhong, he has the confidence to conquer Datong Mansion because the city guard of this Datong Mansion is neither surnamed Yelu nor Xiao, but surnamed Han, whose name is Boshi, and he is the heir of Han Derang, a famous Hanchen in the early Liao Dynasty. And the Han clan has guarded Datong Mansion for four generations, and the Zhe family, who has guarded Fuzhou for almost six generations, can be said to be bitter enemies for hundreds of years, so they are too familiar with each other, so Zhe Kezhong thinks that he is sure to persuade Han Boshi to surrender and let him obediently sacrifice Datong Mansion, the Xijing of Liao.

Speaking of Han Boshi, I have to say that the ancestor Han Derang, the grandfather of Han Derang, Han Zhigu, was plundered to Liaodi as a slave at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and later became an official in the Zhongshu Order. His father, Han Kuanghei, stayed in Nanjing (now Beijing) and was crowned the king of Yan, but because of the failure of the battle with the Song army, he was awarded the envoy of the Jinchang Festival and reduced to the king of Qin. Han Derang has been influenced by his family and his parents since he was a child, and he is wise and wise, and he understands the principles of governing the country. The first servant Liao Jingzong was cautious, and the head of the east was an official, and the general secretary of the Privy Council was supplemented, and he was transferred to the imperial city of Beijing, and he was awarded the envoy of the Zhangde Army.

Of course, his officialdom experience is nothing, what is even more legendary is that the famous Chengtian Empress Xiao Xuan (that is, the Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao) was originally going to marry him, but she was snatched away by Liao Jingzong, but it is said that after Liao Jingzong's death, the two lived like husband and wife.

Later, in order to envelop Han Derang and make him her right-hand man, Empress Dowager Xiao said to Han Derang in private: "I often promise to marry a son, and I wish to harmonize the old good, then the young lord will be the country, and you will also be the son."

The meaning of these words is very straightforward: I once promised to marry you, and I wish to be reconciled with the old. Be the young lord of the country, that is, your son!

From then on, Han Derang was in the position of supervising the country, and in the first year of unification (983), Empress Dowager Xiao implemented Han law with the support of Han Derang, and added the title of Han Derang to Kaifu Yitong and the three divisions, and also served as a political order. In the fourth year of unification (987), the Song Dynasty attacked Liao, and Han Derang rejected the Song Dynasty from the Empress Dowager Xiao, defeated the Song Dynasty, and was crowned the Duke of Chu. The division was also returned, and Han Derang, with the support of the Empress Dowager Xiao, united the Khitan nobles and the Han people who had the ability to govern the country, and implemented the selection of officials and the appointment of talents, regardless of the Han Dynasty, and assessed the officials; the establishment of the imperial examination system; clean up the prison since Liao Shizong; Reform measures such as reducing the enslavement of those who suffered from wars and natural disasters led to prosperity in the middle of the Liao Dynasty.

And Xiao Xuan was still not satisfied with Han Derang's favor, and even wanted to remove the title of "monarch and minister" in front of the little emperor. So he gave Han Derang the royal family the surname Yelu, gave the name Longyun, named the king of Jin, and belonged to Ji's father's room, and Liao Shengzong called Han Derang his uncle from then on.

Han Derang, like the emperors and regent empress dowagers of the Liao State, has his own private Huluduo (palace tent), subordinate cities, and 10,000 guards, just like the Emperor Taishang of the Liao State. Shi Zai: "Derang has no children, and at the beginning he took Yelu Zongye, the son of the Holy Sect, as his heir; and has no children, with the son of King Tiebu (Zongxi) of Wei as his heir; Tianzuo stands, with the prince Ao Luwei as the heir. ”

Because Han Derang had no sons-in-law, it was stipulated that each generation of the royal family should contribute a prince as Han Derang's heir

In the first year of Jingde of Song Zhenzong (1004), Xiao Xuanqin led an army of 200,000 to attack the Song Dynasty, and the army advanced all the way to the city of Lanzhou, approaching Bianliang City in Tokyo hundreds of miles away. The Northern Song Dynasty court was in chaos, and even some ministers suggested abandoning the city and fleeing, moving the capital to Jiangnan or Shuzhong, Song Zhenzong was encouraged by the prime minister Kou Zhun to drive the expedition in person, and signed the "Lanyuan Alliance" with the Empress Dowager Xiao under the city of Lanzhou.

Xiao Xuan and Han Derang joined forces to complete this final battle, and after another five years, Xiao Xuan felt that his health was deteriorating, so in November of the 27th year of the Holy Emperor's reign (1009), he held a traditional "firewood book ceremony" for his son Yelu Longxu, and returned the government to his son. At this time, she had already started to build a new palace in Nanjing City (Han Derang's vassal), so she planned to go to the south to recuperate, but she went halfway, fell ill, died in the palace, died at the age of 56, and was buried in the Liao Qianling Mausoleum after her death.

Xiao Xuan's death was also a great blow to the already old Han Derang, and his body collapsed since then, although the Holy Emperor Yelu Longxu led the princes to serve in front of the bed like a son, and the queen Xiao Bodhisattva brother also personally served the decoction - Yelu Longxu has always been as close to Han Derang as father and son, and his feelings have never been affected by imperial power and time.

Despite the emperor's diligent service, Han Derang's life was still fading rapidly, and in the fifteenth month after Xiao Xuan's death, Han Derang also died. Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu personally held a state funeral for Han Derang and buried him next to Xiao Xuan's mausoleum, making Han Derang the only Han and his subordinates buried in the mausoleum of the Great Liao Emperor.

As for Han Boshi, who guarded Datong Mansion, he was naturally not Han Derang's descendant, but he was also favored in Liao, and he was named the fourth generation of Datong Mansion.

Therefore, Zhe Kezhong believes that as long as the Han clan is promised to continue to guard Datong Mansion, it should not be difficult to earn Han Boshi to dedicate the city, but it is obviously difficult to impress the other party by persuading him to surrender in the empty vernacular.

In this regard, I won't say what Huang Jie thinks, but Zhao Guanjia thinks so, and even if he also studies the possibility of how to recruit Han Boshi!

It's just that the idea of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty is undoubtedly on paper for Huang Jie, because the final disposal of the army patrolling the border on the East Road is obviously in the hands of Master Dao and Tong Guan, and they want them to transfer the only 50,000 cavalry in the entire East Route Army to carry out this "dangerous move", not to mention whose credit is great, if it is defeated...... Who's going to take the blame?

Not to mention the Zhejia army, there are only 12,000 troops in the family, as long as they can really contain the Liao army in Wu and Shuo Erzhou, whether they win or lose, it is a great achievement, but if there is any accident after the 50,000 cavalry leaves the Yanmen Pass, or they run to the Datong Mansion and the soldiers come to the city but cannot successfully persuade the Han clan to surrender, the consequences can be ...... It's hard to say! (To be continued.) )
