It's already September, and the military school has just been built.

At this moment in Kaifeng, a sensational event in the Great Song Dynasty: in September Jiazi, the Khitan Liberation Profit came down. This time, the news of the surrender of the Khitan Xie Li had reached Kaifeng City, and the emperor Zhao Kuangyin discussed the matter with the ministers above the palace, and then appeased the Khitan Xie Li and gave him a lot of property.

And now the land of Yanyun is under the rule of the Khitans of the Liao State, Zhao Kuangyin knows that Liao's strength is still strong, and he is a fierce opponent that the Song court cannot ignore.

And above the imperial court, but also to deal with the Liao State to offer advice, because the Great Song Dynasty was established, a hundred ruins to be rebuilt, the country has not yet been unified, in the advice of Wang Pu, Fan Zhen and others, for this reason, Zhao Kuangyin temporarily fought against Liao, to adopt the principle of "attacking the heart for the top, attacking the city for the bottom". Politically rest with the people, welcome to join.

In the Later Jin Dynasty, Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun (now to the Great Wall in the north, Zunhua in the east, Shenchi in Shanxi in the west, Tianjin and Hebei Hemin, Baoding and Shanxi Fanzhi, Ningwu in the south) to the Liao State, and after the Liao State obtained the sixteen states of Yanyun, the territory expanded, and the territory under its jurisdiction stretched from the Bohai Sea in the east, to the Altai Mountains in the west, to Siberia in the north, and to the Yanmen Mountain and Hutuo River in the south, becoming the most powerful regime in the north.

At this moment, Zhao Pu stepped out, pointed at the jade wat and said, "Your Majesty, since the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun have fallen into the hands of the Liao State. The Central Plains lost a barrier. Zhou Shizong was determined to go on the Northern Expedition and made some achievements in Guannan. And now Yeluming (Zhou in order to avoid the temple (Xinzu Guo Jing) and called Yeluming, the Song people inherited the Zhou Dynasty, is called Yeluming) brutal and incompetent, he ascended the throne in the past few years, the Liao Khitan nobles suppressed other clansmen, these years Liao has had a palace coup, tribal rebellion, servant (slave) riots are very frequent. The civil strife in Liao made it impossible to take care of going south, which also enabled my Great Song Dynasty to recuperate. And my Great Song Dynasty was established, the strength is still weak, can only keep the peace for a while, so my Great Song Dynasty should always be prepared for war, to deal with the invasion of the Liao State to the south, if one day, the Liao civil strife has been decided, then it will definitely go south, then there will be a war between the Song and Liao. However, the inability of the Liao State to invade the south also provided an opportunity for the Great Song Dynasty to pacify the Jiangnan States, and Zeping believed that our Great Song Dynasty had made efforts to prepare for the unification of the Jiangnan States as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Kuangyin touched his beard, nodded and said: "What Zeping said is extremely true, and now my Great Song Dynasty has been established for a year and a half, even if the soldiers who invade the whole country can only hurt the Liao State for a while, if it provokes the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State to unite with the outside world, then Song and Liao will also be a vicious war, and now my Great Song Dynasty is bound to prepare for the unification of the world, but the time has not yet come." ”

Zhao Dezhao sat down to listen to the conversation between these two monarchs and ministers, and his heart had already flown to the Canghai Forest Plains in the north, between the white mountains and black waters.

As early as before the Khitan Jieli surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, he learned the news from the Changchun Hall, and then, Zhao Dezhao sent the people of the Changchun Hall to pretend to be merchants and entered the Nanjing City of the Liao State, where he opened an inn to inquire about the internal news of the Liao State.

It is reported that it is Xiao Siwen who stayed behind in Nanjing, and it is said that he is now on the order of the Liao lord to return to the capital, and the ridiculous thing is that the Liao lord is hunting on the edge of the Liao River at the moment.

Zhao Dezhao thought about it, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth rose, fortunately, the surrounding courtiers did not see his facial expressions, otherwise they would have thought that His Royal Highness King Liang was thinking about something funny again.

_______________________________________________________

In Shangjing, the spies' return is indeed the same, Liao's internal affairs are in a miasma, and the "sleeping king" Yelu Jing loves to hunt and play, drink and have fun.

And the weather in the ninth month of the lunar calendar began to get cooler, and the sleeping king suddenly came up with another trick, hunting in the Liaohe River.

Now in the capital, after hearing the news of Xie Li's surrender to the Song State, Yelujing just frowned, and then the army left the capital and went to the Liao River to hunt and play.

The Khitan nobles in Shangjing dared not speak out, and they knew the methods of the sleeping king, so they had to cater to his wishes.

In today's Liao, there are many dozens of tribes in the territory, including the Bohai, Xi, Jurchen, and Murowei tribes. Since Yelujing ascended the throne, he did not exercise benevolent governance, but suppressed the people of all ethnic groups, resulting in instability in the hearts of various tribes, and this time Xie Li's surrender to the Song State was also because of the civil strife in Daliao.

However, in the Southern Dynasty, the Khitan Liberation was annexed, and the Song Dynasty welcomed it lavishly, which was just a trivial matter in Yelujing's eyes.

On this day, the Yelu Emperor was really interested, and he was attracted by the forest outside Liaoyang City, and went hunting with a large group of men and horses.

In the big tent outside the city, a middle-aged man in rich clothes sat in front of him. High cheekbones, slightly emaciated, a face that looks quite powerful, and a pair of eyes that are shining, both wise and cunning.

There was also a nine-year-old girl sitting next to this person, with several braids on her head, very sunny and cute, "yes, yes, I'm going to go hunting with you today." ”

"Nonsense, Yanyan, you are only nine years old now, and when you are eleven years old, Ye Ye will teach you riding and archery kung fu." The middle-aged man comforted his daughter.

"No, Yanyan wants to learn, and she has to learn now." After saying that, the little girl tried to squeeze out a few tears and made a fuss.

"Okay, good—yes, yes, yes, yes,

"Uh-huh!" The little girl named Yanyan was jumping happily.

And at this moment, on the edge of the Liao River, the bowl of the Liao lord is here. The Xilamulun River and the Tuhe River, both of which arose from the Khitan people, are tributaries of the upper reaches of the Liao River, and the rivers are named after the country name, which shows that the Liao River is extraordinary in the minds of the Khitan people and the significance of the Liao State itself.

"Lord Xiao Liu, Your Majesty wants to see you, let's go to ride and shoot together." The general of the leather room army went to the middle-aged man's tent and told the will of the Liao lord Yelujing.

"Hmm! I was dressed and came right away. This person who is called left behind is Yanyan's Ye Ye (father), Xiao Siwen who stayed in Nanjing.

Xiao Siwen, the small character Yin Gu, the son of the prime minister's enemy Lu's clan brother Hu Wuli, is now an official position to stay in Nanjing, but since Zhou Xiande five years, the Zhou people invaded the north, Xiao Siwen lost the border defense, fearing that the court would sin himself, and asked for personal recruitment. Later, Chai Rong returned from illness, and Xiao Siwen retired to Yijin. For Yelujing, he doesn't have a cold.

Xiao Siwen threw a leather whip in the tent to the ground a few times, and he vented in his heart, "Hmph-a good Liaoyang City and a gorgeous palace can't live, you have to set up a tent outside the city, Yelujing!" Let so many leather room soldiers always guard the side, what a sinner of my Khitan people. ”

Before long, Xiao Siwen stepped out of the camp tent and saw that the number of palace guards of his Liao lord was not small, including Hongyi, Changning, Yongxing, Jiqing, Yanchang, Zhangchou, Chongde, Xingsheng, Yanqing, Taihe, Yongchang, Dunmu and other twelve palaces, as well as the leather room army guarding it, and dared not speak out.

Xiao Siwen, looking at his post, hunting camps, tents one after another, not far from the edge, at least thousands.

And the hunting ground is two, some Khitan upper-class aristocratic men, dressed in Han wide robes and big sleeves, all kinds of heads, and a few people also wear flowers, which is very charming.

A noble woman, dressed in Han women's clothes, silk and satin, is very delicate and moving, and has a bit of the dignity of a Han woman.

"Chen Xiao Siwen has seen Your Majesty." When Xiao Siwen saw Yelujing, he immediately performed the etiquette of a Khitan monarch.

"You're here, hurry up, accompany me to hunt, the prey on this mountain has long been urgent, today I will return with a full load, hehe-" Yelu Jing immediately pulled Xiao Siwen, chattered a few words, and then turned over and rode away.

Xiao Siwen also got on the horse behind him, looking at this Liao lord, Xiao Siwen dared to be angry in his heart, he didn't dare to speak, this "sleeping king" made a mess in the country, it was really not the material of the Son of Heaven, and he was originally going to say that Xie Li surrendered to the Song Dynasty, but as a lesson from the past, this Liao lord is not a good stubble, as the future "History of Liao" said: Knowing that the witch and demon are in vain, and the ministers are indiscriminately punished, not unclear. And he is indifferent to wine, and he is insatiable in hunting. Detect the goose and miss the deadline, and the punishment of the iron comb will be added; Won the duck very happy, in addition to the Eagle Fang thorn face order. The rewards and punishments are disorderly, the government does not pay attention to them, and they are eager to kill. Change your elbows and armpits, yes!

Yelujing had already run far away, and Xiao Siwen had gone to the same place with the mediocre emperor against the sun, shooting with his bow and hunting for prey.

Xiao Siwen longed for a bow, pulled it and shot Yelujing to death on the horse, but he could only think about it, and then Pegasus disappeared into the forest and went hunting.
