Rokuro Star

The news that the Song court appointed Yang Liulang as the commander of the three passes of Gaoyang Pass, Yijin Pass, and Waqiao Pass did not surprise Empress Dowager Xiao and me at all. Because during the years of the Song-Liao confrontation, I learned how powerful the Yang family generals were.

In the first year of Jingde, I led my troops into the Song Dynasty and encountered Yang Yanlang in the city of Juzhou on the border of Baiyangdian Lake. At that time, he was just a defense envoy of Juzhou. The two sides fought fiercely for three days and three nights. Originally, Yang Yanlang was already weak, the grain and grass were empty, and the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time. I will supervise the attack and want to eat the Yang family army as soon as possible. Yang Yanlang finally couldn't resist my powerful offensive, and retreated from the ancient city of Juzhou to Baiyangdian in disarray. I hurriedly led a large group of men and horses to chase after the victory, for a time, the Liao army soldiers rushed up the lake embankment as long as more than 20 miles, the men and horses screamed, the grain carts rolled, the swords, guns and halberds, and the long snake, which made me feel the strength and might of the Liao army. The Song army soon disappeared. I inadvertently looked around, and wow, a narrow embankment leads to the lake, and the smoke beside the embankment is vast, and the ripe reeds are boundless. I realized the plan and quickly ordered a retreat. But it's too late. It was difficult for the carriage and horse to turn around, and they blocked their own retreat. Just as he was regretting, a war drum suddenly sounded, and the sound of the drum brought out countless rockets in the reeds, and the reeds on both sides of the embankment that were more than one person high suddenly burst into the sky. The fire, with the help of the wind, burned the water to the ground. My wagons of terracotta and horses have become grilled fish and smoked fish. Thanks to my dragon pony being able to fly, I was able to break out of the fire and escape back to Shangjing alone.

Empress Dowager Xiao did not condemn me, but selected 30,000 horses from the grassland for me to train. A year later, 30,000 iron horsemen made a comeback and fought again to the edge of Baiyangdian. Yang Yanlang and I kicked off the battlefield at the three passes. Flowing water soup soup, iron horses roaring, ten thousand trees killing. Yang Yanlang did not dare to send troops for three days. On the fourth day, I saw several huge stables built near the Song camp. The Iron Cavalry Front Team went to challenge, but Song Ying was indifferent. However, some soldiers blasted out more than 1,000 horses without reins and saddles from the stables to bathe in Baiyangdian. The soldiers made a beautiful splash of water, and the horse's mane washed by the splash was shiny and beautiful. My soldiers couldn't help laughing, Song Jun was dying, and he was still so leisurely, it was really numb. But before the laughter had fallen, the bathing horses suddenly began to whisper softly, and the sound was like the waves of the lake water. The soldiers of our camp did not know what was going on, but the horses on which they sat began to stir. At first, he snorted heavily, then kicked his hooves wildly, and after a while, a group of people began to scream. The sound soon drowned out the low roar of the bathing horses and the shouts of the Liao soldiers, and almost overturned the sky. My soldiers can no longer control those iron horsemen. They threw their masters off their horses, then broke free from their reins and ran towards each other. Song Jun's horse stopped bathing at this time, and continued to whisper as he withdrew from the water to the stable. With a bag of cigarettes, the shameless iron horsemen of our army, the majestic horses in estrus, rushed into the huge stables. Only my dragon foal still has the strength, but it also reddens under my crotch.

Before I could wake up, the drums of war in the Song camp were suddenly beaten, and the cavalry and infantry marched together, like a storm in the sun. We can only be swept up and killed.

When I returned to the base camp, I understood: Yang Yanlang used a horse formation. The dream of me and the Empress Dowager Xiao was once again crushed by my own iron horse. I sighed to the Queen Mother: I, Han Derang, am a mortal, but Yang Yanlang is the star in the sky, the Liulang Star of the main general, and my nemesis!

After I thought that Yang Yanlang was Yang Liulang, the news came that the Song court appointed Yang Liulang as the commander of the three passes. I'm not surprised. I just took off my armor gloomily and went home. As long as Yang Liulang is here, we will not be able to seize the Central Plains, and even the sixteen states of Youyun that we have already occupied may return to the Great Song Dynasty. I didn't close my eyes on the sickbed for a few days. I couldn't sleep. I am Han. My grandfather, Han Zhigu, was taken captive by the Khitan tribe into the northern kingdom when he was a teenager, and then became an official in the third kingdom of Liao. In fact, I should be happy that Yang Liulang is brave and good at fighting, but Liao Jun and Empress Dowager Xiao treat me well, and I can't help but fight for Liao......

When I was thinking like this, the Queen Mother summoned me. I suffered defeat. I've prepared for the worst. When I arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace, I didn't see the Empress Dowager Xiao with a majestic face, but I saw Xiao Yanyan dressed as a young woman with charm. All at once I was back in the distant past. At that time, my father Han Zhigu and Prime Minister Xiao Siwen married us. It's just that Yan Yan was too good later, so she was recruited into the palace by Ye Luxian of Liaojingzong. Later, Jingzong fell ill and died, the Holy Emperor Yelu Longxu was young, the Empress Dowager was regent, and I was appointed as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses. If it weren't for Xiao Yanyan's deliberate reminder, I would have forgotten that we still have that relationship.

Xiao Yanyan asked me to sit down and said leisurely, Derang, I know you are not sick. Since you are not sick, you can't lie down. I will not condemn thee, but I will reward thee and promote thee. I will give you the imperial surname and change your name to Dechang. I want you to forget your Han identity, and you will be called Yelu Dechang in the future!

I was about to kowtow to thank you, but Yanyan ran over and stopped me. She ordered someone to call the 12-year-old little emperor in, touched her son's head and shed tears, Dechang, you and I are wrong, but I am still your Yanyan, Longxu is your son, I want him to worship you as the prime minister. You will be his father from now on! Dechang, now the prince of the Yelu family, has ill intentions and covets imperial power, and the Great Song Dynasty is about to start the Northern Expedition again, but I have handed over myself, my son and Da Liao to you!

I fainted there. But I still heard the same tone as the Empress Dowager Yanyan, you don't have to go home, your wife Li has already drunk wine at this time!

I had no choice. I actually still love this woman. I have to go again for her. I quickly sent someone to Bianliang, Tokyo, to meet with the privy envoy Wang Qinruo. He was the last chess piece I planted in the Song court. I want him to do everything he can to get rid of Yang Liulang. Wang Qinruo made a ruthless move. He demolished the Qingfeng Building of the Yang family under the pretense of the road in the capital to anger Yang Liulang. Yang Liulang really returned to Beijing. Wang Qinruo played the book to Song Zhenzong for the crime of leaving his post without permission, and Yang Liulang was stripped of his military power, and finally died of depression at the border pass, becoming a real Liulang star.

I immediately led my troops out on the expedition, all the way mighty, like a bamboo, and soon the troops came to the city of Tokyo, forcing the Song court to set an alliance with the Yuanyuan. From then on, the Liao and Song dynasties made peace, and there was no more war. The Song court also gave us 300,000 coins every year.

Yelu Longxu's regime thus transitioned smoothly. Five years later, Xiao Yanyan collapsed in the palace. At that time, Yelu Longxu was about to ask me to crusade against Goryeo, but I refused. I'm tired of war. I came to Xiao Yanyan's tomb and killed myself. Before I died, I said to the emperor, you send me to the Great Song Dynasty and bury me in front of Yang Liulang's tomb, I also want to be a Liulang star!
