Chapter 139: The Pattern of the North

Zhao Yanshou stabbed down with a single shot, directly piercing Yelu Deguang's heart and ending the life of the Khitan emperor.

Above the blackened clouds, a flash of lightning exploded, but the rain did not fall.

The mountain wind is blowing stronger!

The second emperor of the Great Khitan Kingdom, the generation of heroes and northern heroes who shocked the world during the Five Dynasties period, and the Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang, who will change the name of the "Great Khitan Kingdom" to the "Great Liao Dynasty" in the history of eleven years (947), fell in Fulong Town, Xinzhou, far away from his homeland!

More than 200 miles away, He Daxian, who was leading the army out of Shenchi Valley and preparing to go to Ningwu Pass to grab meat to eat, suddenly felt a shock in his heart, strangled his horse's head and stood concentratingly, pinched his fingers, and knew that Yelu Deguang had died.

Looking up at the sky, I saw that in the gray sky, several dazzling lights flashed across the sky, pierced the clouds, and disappeared in a flash!

In the official history, Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang died in 947, Liao Shizong Yelu Ruan died in 951, and in this world, because of He Daxian's intervention, these two most important great emperors, a total of twenty-six years of Tianzi Shouyuan were annihilated.

These twenty-six years of the Son of Heaven Shouyuan were redistributed into the world by the laws of heaven and earth, and the world has become very different since then!

The gears of history are restarted! A whole new world is in motion!

Zhao Yanshou stabbed Yelu Deguang to death with a shot, and with a stroke of the gun, he picked up Yelu Deguang's body on the horse and put it on the saddle in front of him.

Only more than 100 horsemen were left in the Bianzhou cavalry, which rushed to the formation and snatched the corpse, threw off the Khitan cavalry that followed, and rushed back to the main formation of the Bianzhou army at high speed with Zhao Yanshou.

"Jerod is dead!"

"Jerod is dead!"

All the Tang cavalry shouted one after another, the Han Chinese shouted in Chinese, and the silver saddle cavalry shouted in Khitan. And people of all nationalities are shouting these words in their own languages:

"Jerod is dead!"

"Jerod is dead!"

In the resounding cry of heaven and earth, the Tang cavalry ran excitedly, while the Khitan cavalry slowed down their horses in frustration and blindly walked around, and for a while everyone was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Until the long trumpet sounded.

Jerodza was a step too late to snatch the body of Jerod Light.

But it doesn't matter, there are several plans for this plan, and it will be played according to the script.

As soon as Yelu Deguang died, neither the Tang army nor the Khitan army had the will to fight anymore, and no one was willing to sacrifice senseless lives to fight for this war that was already doomed.

The Khitan army blew the trumpet of gathering troops, and the Tang army also blew the trumpet of gathering troops, and the cavalry of both sides ran back to their own positions.

A big battle came down. The Khitan army suffered nearly 8,000 casualties, while the Tang army also suffered nearly 6,000 casualties, and more than half of the silver saddle cavalry who rushed to the front were killed! Of course, Liu Zaiming doesn't care, this Yin'an Khitan is Zhao Dejun's troops, and he just uses it.

There were less than 5,000 people left in the Khitan army, and all of them gathered around the supreme commander of the scene, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Yelu Chacha.

After a brief procession, Jerodach mounted on his horse. Standing at the forefront of the five thousand Khitan cavalry, quietly waiting for the Tang army to sort out the ranks.

The overall quality of the Tang army was too far worse than that of the Khitan army. After all, there are several teams that do not belong to each other, those who run the wrong team, those who call friends, a mess, all twisted together, noisy and noisy like a market.

Another half hour passed. The chaotic Tang army finally finished sorting out the team.

The two armies once again formed a state of face-to-face confrontation, leaving a large open space in the middle, and the corpses all over the ground were also cleared. Zhao Dejun, Zhao Yanshou and Dong Wenqi, three senior officials at the level of Jiedu envoys, each rode to the middle of the venue.

Jerodzachim had been waiting there for a long time.

"Our army has been defeated. Here, I implore the two Lord Zhao and Lord Dong to return the body of our emperor, and allow the soul to return to China for burial. ”

"The Khitan army must all withdraw from Yunzhou." Dong Wenqi preemptively said a condition that the other party would inevitably agree to.

"That's natural, after the body of the former emperor Deguang, there will never be a single soldier left."

"The Khitan army is going south this time, and all the looted property and the people of the Central Plains must be returned and must not be taken away. In addition, you left two thousand Khitan cavalry as my prisoners. "This is the condition proposed by Zhao Yanshou, and the conditions for captive are a little harsh.

"No problem." After a while, two thousand Khitan cavalry walked out of the array, laid down their weapons, took off their armor, and lined up with their bare hands to walk to the position of the Bianzhou army on foot.

"In addition, other supplies are in the baggage camp, and tomorrow morning the baggage camp will arrive at Ningwu Pass, and General Zhao can go to Ningwu Pass to receive goods and population."

It was Zhao Dejun's turn to put forward the conditions.

Seeing that the little junior brothers were so miserable, Zhao Dejun was embarrassed to ask him for another 2,000 prisoners. After looking up and thinking about it, he said:

"In this way, I won't take prisoners, but before the end of the year, the Khitan State must send 50,000 slaves to Youzhou, of which 30,000 are young women."

"Yes."

Zhao Dejun is not afraid that the Khitans will regret it later, which is related to the reputation of a late emperor.

It's one thing to fight grass and rob the population, you promised to exchange 50,000 slaves for the emperor's corpse, if you regret not giving it at that time, then the emperor's corpse will be written in the pen of bitter historians, and even 50,000 slaves are not worth it.

It's so hard to be an emperor, what's the picture? Isn't it just trying to be alive, and after death, it will be praised for eternity?

After the discussion between the two sides was completed, someone from the Bianzhou army carried Yelu Deguang's body over.

The body of Yerodguang was laid flat on a door panel, covered from head to toe with a white cloth, and was carried by four men and carried over on a careful walk. This can be regarded as the most basic respect of the Tang army for an emperor of another country, even if everyone knows that it is the leader of an invading army.

Someone from the Khitan army went to pick it up and put Yelu Deguang's body in front of the army. All the Khitan cavalry dismounted together to mourn, and the more than 200 cavalrymen of the personal guards who rode Yelu Deguang who did not die, after seeing Yelu Deguang's body, also wailed and cried on the spot for a while, and then committed suicide together and went with Yelu Deguang.

It was getting dark, and that night, the remaining 3,000 Khitan troops moved to camp by the Muma River, and the Tang army watched from afar. Three hundred men were sent on each side to clean up the battlefield and sort out the corpses. All kinds of cumbersome matters are not mentioned here.

Late at night, in a bush by the river, far away from the camp of the Khitan army and the Tang army, there was a small tent, and a dozen Youzhou cavalrymen stood vigilantly around it.

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and Jeruzachel arrived with two of his own soldiers, and then went headlong into the tent.

Zhao Dejun was waiting for him inside.

"Drinking?"

"Drink. Come, I'll give a bowl to my brother. ”

"Alas, just drink two sips to quench your thirst, don't drink too much."

"yes, the plan has just completed the first step. Big brother's plan is really wonderful! ”

"Next, the little junior brother will go back to deal with the old witch Shu Luping. Shu Luping is known as the world's first evil woman, but be careful. ”

"Little brother provincial. It's just that my brother must help watch Li Zanhua, but don't let him run back to Khitan. ”

"That's nature, he can't fly, he always has to walk, Youzhou, Zhenzhou and Xinzhou, the three places are blocked, and it is difficult for him to fly. Even in Luoyang, my brother and I have arranged more than a dozen people around his yard, as long as he emerges, he will be killed! ”

"The younger brother brought some Khitan mutton, can my brother eat it?"

"Here, cut the meat."

The two brothers hid in the dark night, secretly drinking wine and eating meat, and celebrated their achievements a little.

"So, when will my brother move?"

"As soon as you withdraw from Yunzhou, I will move. Yanshou helped me sit in Daizhou and Xinzhou, and I took Dong Wenqi, an old fox, back to Youzhou. It will take a long time to integrate into the German army. ”

"Well, I will return to Shangjing in about five days, I don't know if Zhao Ping will stop me at Ningwu Pass."

"How dare he! Zhao Ping is a good person, don't you still have 50,000 Khitan troops in Yunzhou? ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of him, I haven't fought before, I feel bottomless, Yelu Lihu and Xiao Luying are both dead at the hands of this person. Oh, by the way, what about Yin Hui in Yingzhou? Is my brother going to take him? ”

"Look, not necessarily, it's okay to keep the diaphragm and Zhao Ping. I don't have time to pay attention to him now, Fan Yanguang, this old thing, will definitely rob Shandong with me, and there are still some fights in the east. ”

"How will Shi Jingjiao react?"

"Wait and see, this is also the reason why we need to prolong our lives to guard Daizhou. As soon as we moved, Fan Yanguang and Gao Xingzhou would immediately withdraw. Taiyuan is relieved, Shi Jingjiao must not be willing to defend the lonely city alone, I estimate that he will go south to fight Chang'an, let him go to the death with Li Congke first. ”

While drinking wine and eating meat, the two brothers basically set the political pattern north of the Yellow River. (To be continued.) )
