Zhao Ta, who was far away in Xijing, received the news on the fifth day after the Jin army crossed the border into Hebei, and although he was somewhat surprised, he was not surprised that the greed of the Jurchens destined them to go south to the Central Plains. It's just that he didn't expect them to dare to risk being cut off by himself to send troops, and he vaguely felt that he was amused by the old boy of Yinshu.

Yinshu can pretend to be a grandson for himself every day in the days of Xijing, in fact, it is just to create a false impression that he will never dare to send troops in Fengshengzhou, and then in the name of deterring the Great Song Dynasty, he gathered troops and suddenly launched an attack, and he set off to return home on the eve of the attack, obviously he had a plan, and Zhao Ta could only stare dryly, and there was nothing he could do.

As the information continued to be transmitted back, Zhao Ta once again learned the cunning of the Jurchens, and they not only deployed heavy troops in Zhongjing, but also blocked all the routes for using troops. The Zonghan Department also sent troops to deploy troops at the crossing of the Yellow River in Huailai, cutting off the road from Hedong to Henan and preventing the southward movement of the Hedong and Hezhong armies, so as to rest assured that they would go south.

Just when Zhao Ta convened the generals to discuss the next action plan, someone suddenly came to report that Yelu Yali, the king of Liang, was seriously ill and had just been sent back to Xijing. He was a little puzzled, Yelu Yali, this kid liked to play as much as his father, and as soon as he entered the wax moon, he proposed to go to Mandarin Duck Luo to hunt and catch the head fish, and said that he would get himself the biggest fish and send it back. He thought about it for a while and agreed, but after going for less than a month, the head fish didn't send it back to him, so why did he send it back first?

Under careful questioning, Zhao Ta figured out that God let him go, but he didn't let him go, and Yelu Yanxi went to the mandarin duck to have fun. In one day, he hunted more than 30 sheep and 20 wolves. chased back and forth, and exhausted himself. The next day he was seriously ill. It all sounds new, some are tired from marching, some are tired from work, and some are tired from playing, but this happened to him.

Zhao Ta heard that he hurried to visit, not only because this was his brother-in-law, but also because of his political attitude. He sought medical advice and accompanied him for two days, but he was still unable to return to heaven, and Yelu Yali finally died and returned to heaven. As the head of Xijing, Zhao organized a grand funeral for him. But as soon as it ended here, something happened over there, and King Yeluding of Qin ran away.

Yelu is determined to be talented, but after arriving in Xijing, he has been idle, the boss Xi Nilie became the governor of Xijing, and in his eyes, the most incompetent Yelu Yali was mixed with a pacifying envoy, and his sister Yu Liyan was even more powerful as a prisoner, and married a prince of the Great Song Dynasty. Now the scenery is infinite, which makes him very angry, but helpless!

Some time ago, the armies in Xijing were reorganized, and some tribal leaders in the past were able to retain a certain number of private soldiers. At present, according to the size of the tribe, only a small number of private soldiers can be left, and the rest must be incorporated into the Zhongxing Army, or the garrison forces of various states and counties. This must have violated the interests of some people. However, Yelu Yuchen, who had the largest number of private soldiers, took the initiative to accept the adaptation, and only 3,000 people remained in the team of tens of thousands. He took the lead, and the others did not dare to disobey. But in private, it is inevitable to complain. And some of the generals in the reorganized old army could not bear the harsh military discipline and were also dissatisfied.

Jerodine saw an opportunity and began to deliberately reach out to these people. This time Yelu Yali died unexpectedly, and he secretly spread rumors, saying that Yelu Yali was tired to death, and it was all a lie, but in fact, he was poisoned and killed by Zhao Er, Zhao Er had a firm foothold in Xijing, and there was no need for the Khitans. Now start to clean up these Khitans, it is Yelu Yali who died today, and tomorrow it may be one of them, so it is better to leave Xijing as soon as possible and find another way out. The gang was frightened by Jerodin's words and decided to leave Xijing while the funeral was being held for Jeruyali...

"Where did King Liang go?" Zhao Ta asked, King Liang's departure is a big deal, and several dignitaries from Xijing City have arrived.

"Lord Wang, it has been ascertained that it has crossed Yinshan Mountain from the Texas Pass to the north of the mountain!" Jiang Fei of the Military Intelligence Department reported.

"Are there any Jurchens among them?" Zhao asked again.

"After a thorough investigation, there are no Jurchens among the people who fled with King Liang, they have a commander in the state army, and several tribal chiefs, and there are no Jurchens!" Jiang Fei said.

"The ruling gives an order, this kid is not the seed of the Yelu family, who is sorry for him here, he dares to defect, I will personally lead the troops to arrest him back and hand him over to the ruling for disposal!" Yin Yelu Xi Ni of Xijing Mansion said hatefully, but he couldn't hide the panic between his eyebrows.

"Lord Wang, all the armies have been assembled and can set off at any time!" Zhao Li looked at the prince and said, after receiving the news, he immediately arranged for someone to track him, and issued a combat readiness order to the relevant troops according to the plan, as long as he was authorized by the prince, he could immediately enter the battle.

"Lift the vigilance, since everyone has their own aspirations, let him go, maybe he can create a foundation!" Zhao Ta said after turning around the hall twice.

"Lord Wang, King Liang took away more than 2,000 soldiers, 3,000 people, and ransacked several tribes on the way, coercing nearly 10,000 people to flee, if he is let go, how will Xijing be based in the northwest, he will be captured and convicted, in order to set an example!" Yelu Yu immediately objected.

"The prince ordered, once they cross the Yin Mountain and enter the desert, it will be difficult to find!" Zhao Li also urged.

"What can you do if you capture him, do you kill him, or lock him up, King Liang is also your brother and nephew, can you do it? Since he didn't take refuge in the Jurchens, let him go, he will still be brothers when we see each other one day! Zhao Ta said with a sigh.

"The prince's kindness is the blessing of our Xijing, the blessing of the Khitan, and the blessing of the Yelu family!" Yelu Xi Nilie said with a salute.

"Let's all go back, appease the people, stabilize people's hearts, and prevent anyone from taking advantage of King Liang's departure to make trouble again!" Zhao Ta said a little weakly, and walked to the back hall, everyone looked at the tired face of the prince, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, the pressure he was under was too great, he had to stabilize his foothold in the crowd of enemies, consolidate Xijing, stabilize the interior, and coordinate the relationship between all parties, now that the Jin army went south to Bianjing and was besieged, there were still his parents, brothers and sisters in the city, how could he not be in a hurry? But at this time, there was such a thing...

When Zhao Ta returned to the study, it was already dark, and there were several stacks of one-foot-high documents on the huge long table, covered with military maps, although the room was illuminated by a few candles, and the silver charcoal in the brazier kept emitting light and heat, but he still felt a burst of coldness, and it was cold to the bone.

Now the main contradiction in Xijing is still the contradiction with the Jurchens, but now the internal contradictions between the Fan and Han are also accumulating, and their own series of reforms do infringe on the interests of some Khitan nobles. The strengthening of the county system weakened their control over the clans, and their tribes were disbanded into freemen, who were also required to pay taxes to the government. With the entry of the loyal and brave army, a large number of Han officials were activated, which inevitably made these Khitans feel that they were excluded and alienated, their status was greatly reduced, and dissatisfaction was accumulating day by day, and Yeluding's departure was just a concentrated outbreak.

"Am I right or wrong?" Zhao Ta sat down dejectedly, a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart, he had also considered it before the reform, Xijing was presided over by the southern official in Liao, and it was said that the Han law was also implemented, and he was just further deepened, depriving some Khitan nobles of their rights, but it caused such a big reaction.

"The pains of reform are inevitable and cannot be changed!" Zhao Ta pondered the pros and cons, the Han people in Xijing accounted for the vast majority, and the new policy he implemented was in line with the interests of the bottom, weakening the influence of the aristocracy, which would inevitably make the ordinary people increase their dependence on the government, ensure the authority of the government, and the implementation of government decrees.

"Let them fend for themselves!" Zhao Tan muttered, the reason why he let go of Yeluding again is also because his ambition is great and talented, and it is difficult to become a great weapon, and his development to the northwest is nothing more than two ways to defect to Yelu Dashi or establish himself as a king, unless there is God's help, he cannot pose a threat to himself.

But if he is killed, the situation is different, no matter what, Yeluding is also the royal family of the Liao State, which not only confirms the rumors of excluding the Khitans, but also makes royal families like Yelu Xi Nilie and Yelu Yuchen panic, after all, Xijing was their homeland. But letting go of Ye Luding can make them feel at ease, and also reassure some wavering Khitan nobles that they don't have to worry about being cleaned, which will help the stability of Xijing, and will also be conducive to the future surrender work, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Ta decided to let Ye Luding go, although this made him a little breathless!

"Wangfu, prepare the car, go to the Li Mansion!" Zhao Ta said to Wangfu, who was waiting on the side. Now that Zhao Ta has established the country, although he is unwilling to build a huge harem, he also needs someone to manage it. Therefore, according to the rules of this time, the establishment of the province of internal service, modeled after the Song system, set up six divisions, to see the joy for the know, Fengxi for the deputy know, Wangfu and other people who followed themselves to fight the world must have become the head of each department, but they did not recruit new people, in addition to them, from the original Xijing City of the internal servants selected a hundred people to enrich the division, with the usual low post and high salary. Seeing that Xi was so busy that he was dying, he took Wangfu as a regular attendant and served by his side.

"Second master, you haven't eaten yet, why don't you eat first?" Wangfu said that he knew that Li Mansion was another name for the Intelligence Department, and when he got there, he would have something important, and he would be able to take care of food.

"Well, keep it simple!" Zhao Ta said casually.

Wangfu arranged for people to prepare carriages and horses, and immediately ordered people to arrange food, not much effort, a bowl of mutton noodles, two plates of side dishes and a few scones were delivered, it was really simple, but the prince insisted on it for many years...
