The early morning sun pierced through the curtain and shone into the tent, making Zhao Bufan wake up from his sleep, glanced at the smooth Yelu Yu Liyan beside him, looked at the tears in the corners of her eyes, he sighed silently, gently pulled the blanket over her, and got up and dressed silently.

Then he softly ordered the guards outside the tent to fetch a basin of water, and brought some fruits and dry cakes, put them on the table in person, and rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army alone. He knew very well that there must have been someone waiting there and that there were many problems that needed to be solved.

Sure enough, in addition to the generals who had been bandits before, the generals led by Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui and others were all here, all with serious faces, and the atmosphere was even colder when they saw him enter the big tent of the Chinese army.

When Zhao Bufan walked to the top and sat down, Xiao Jiasui immediately stood up, bowed his hand, and said bluntly and unceremoniously: "If the prince wants to be romantic, there are so many women in the Great Song Dynasty, why should he take possession of the Khitan princess? Even if he wants to be punished, then he should also be assigned to the military prostitute camp as a punishment.

Wen Huanzhang stood up after him, although his expression was much more relaxed, but he was also worried.

"The prince is under too much pressure, seeing that the princess of the Liao Kingdom is beautiful, it is normal for people to have a whim, but now she must be sent to the military prostitute camp quickly, and then reported to the court to try to make up for the evil consequences of this matter, in short, the prince must not take her as a concubine. ”

"Yes, if the prince has a need, wouldn't it be better for us to let the military prostitute camp send some people?" Xu Guanzhong continued.

“......”

There were different opinions in the tent for a while, and they were all accusatory.

Zhao Bufan didn't say a word, let them speak, until everyone finished speaking, and the tent fell silent, then he slowly looked at each of them, and asked lightly: "What's the matter?"

The people were silent, but turned their heads away.

Zhao Bufan took a deep breath and slowly raised his head: "Okay, I can send her to the military prostitute camp, but on the way to the Northern Expedition, who is responsible for the Khitan prisoners?"

Xiao Jiasui hurriedly said: "What's so difficult about this, just cut it down, the last general is willing to take the order!"

"Okay!" Zhao Bufan nodded and said with a smile: "Yongqing County lives in hundreds of Khitan families who have moved south, as well as the mixed-race descendants of Han and Khitan, according to the return given to me, the old one is more than eighty years old, and the younger one has just been born, I will give you this treasure knife on my waist, you will kill them one by one, save the ordinary knife and chop the roll, and then replace it!"

"This ......"

Xiao Jiasui's eyes widened instantly.

Zhao Bufan looked at him with a smile: "Go! After the cut, I will repay you for killing the enemy when you come back, and this kind of thing will be handed over to you in the future, I estimate how can there be 1.8 million people in the end, if you have a few millions, after all, there are still many mixed bloods, isn't it? You cut slowly, I am responsible for burying it, you just go!"

Xiao Jiasui seemed to understand a little, and was silent.

"Why, don't you dare to go?" Zhao Bufan seemed to smile.

Xu Guanzhong next to him also understood, looking at Xiao Jiasui was very embarrassed, and couldn't help but speak out: "The prince has a plan?"

Zhao Bufan's gaze swept over everyone in the hall again, smiling.

"If our Northern Expedition is victorious, it will be to grab territory with the Jin State, dare to ask you how to deal with a large number of Khitan people, even the people of various tribes, and the children of mixed blood, all of them will be killed? These people in the south are okay to say, after all, they follow the Song system, no matter how hard they try, they can still solve this problem in the end, but what if they hit the north? Do you plan to kill them, or is there any good way to make them willingly obey the jurisdiction?"

There was complete silence in the tent......

Zhao Bufan sighed, and said leisurely: "It's not easy to fight the world, it's even more difficult to defend the world, I definitely won't do anything to kill, if any of you are willing to do it, then you can say now, anyway, I'm afraid of being punished by God, you are not afraid to come by yourself, and in other ways, the most difficult thing is how to make the vast majority of the tribesmen accept, how to change their thinking?"

The tribes of the Liao State were beaten so badly by the Jin State, they were still willing to surrender, and even helped the Jin State to fight, and offered the most beautiful women and the best war horses to the Jin people, but most of them refused to surrender to our Great Song Dynasty, have you thought about the reason? From our point of view, they are barbarians, stupid and uncivilized, but in their hearts, we are inferior people, and the vast majority of them are more accepting of barbaric and direct methods, and they are more in agreement with the current way of the Jin State.

I possess Yelu Yuliyan to follow their habits, follow their ideas, only with their approval, our northern expedition will become smooth, when they can't fight, they will surrender, not turn to surrender to the Jin, we can't deprive those who surrendered of their property, don't change their bad customs for the time being, and adopt a strategy of adapting measures to local conditions like the ancient capital protectorate.

The change of thinking needs time to precipitate, not a law, some truths can be achieved, their thousands of years of deep-rooted thinking is not something that we can change in three or five years, you and I are not gods in heaven.

That's all I have to say, whether you understand it or not, I have done it, if you have a better way, then please say it, if you want to take the way of extermination, then you all have knives in your hands, tell me, just go and cut it.

It's just that something happened and it has nothing to do with me, I don't bear this charge, I don't support this barbaric way, I'm a person, I've read more or less for a few days, I'm not a beast, I can't do anything to the defenseless innocent, no one in our Chinese people has really taken the way of exterminating the clan in all dynasties, you can try it, see if there is a good end in the end!"

When the words fell, Zhao Bufan got up directly and strode out of the tent, leaving only a faint word.

"If you have an opinion, if you don't have an opinion, then please carry out my order, and immediately spread the news that I have taken possession of Yelu Yuli as a slave, so that all the tribes of the Liao Kingdom know that we Song people can be the same as them, and let time change the rest! As for the Song people, whether it is to scold me for being lustful or insulting me for being inferior and cheap, let him go, I have a clear conscience!"

The firm voice echoed in the tent for a long time, and everyone in the tent looked at his distant back and bowed deeply......

A day later, the Water Margin Army and the Liangshan Army marched north to attack Gu'an County in the north of Yongqing, and at the same time ordered Zhai Xing, who was far away in Wuqing, to also lead his troops to the north and attack Anci County in the northeast of Gu'an.

When Zhao Bufan arrived at Gu'an County with the Liangshan Army and the Water Margin Army, he was exactly like the Khitan people, directly escorting the Liao princess Yelu Yu Liyan to the city, and shouted to the Liao soldiers at the head of the city: "I, Zhao Bufan, have defeated your princess, she has been owned by me, if you surrender now, then I can exempt you from the status of slaves, and you will still have everything you have now, if you don't surrender, you will become slaves, and your women and wealth will no longer belong to you!"

The impact of this action on the Liao people was huge, and the Khitans were very angry, but the tribes and the Han people were shaken, and they were the main force of the soldiers and horses in the south of the Liao State.

The person who stayed in this city was the Qingdi Jupiter General of the Eleventh Yao Star General of Nanfu, he was a pure Khitan, and he couldn't stand Zhao Bufan's behavior at all, so he resolutely took the cavalry out of the city and personally went out to call for battle, and named him to fight against Zhao Bufan.

In order to hit the confidence of the Khitans, Zhao Bufan resolutely accepted the challenge regardless of the generals' obstruction, rode a BMW and a jade lion to personally go into battle, using his own marksmanship that had gradually taken shape, but Sanhe stabbed him under the horse, and only Fulang didn't even have a chance to fight back.

For a time, the Khitans were frightened, and the Song army was mighty.

Zhao Bufan finally made his strong force public, and told everyone with his domineering three-trick marksmanship that he was the first fierce general of the Northern Army of the Great Song Dynasty.

No one in the Liao State dared to fight anymore, and morale was low.

Two days later, the Liao army, which had lost its main general, mutinied, and the Han army rebelled en masse, opening the city gate to meet the Song army, Zhao Bufan led the army into the city without much effort, and the soldiers and horses of the tribes quickly surrendered, and the Khitans soon surrendered after resisting for a while.

This was the first time that the Khitans had surrendered in recent years, although there were only 2,000 people, but when the Khitan generals kissed Zhao Bufan's upper with tribal customs, they announced their submission, recognized Zhao Bufan, and recognized his strength.

The Water Margin Army and the Liangshan Army were successfully stationed in Gu'an.

Only three days later, Zhai Xing also received good news, and the pioneers Wu Jie and Zhang Jun successfully broke through Anci, which had few defenders.

Under the successive battles, everyone in the army cheered and was in high spirits, and the news that Zhao Bufan accepted the princess of Liao as a slave spread rapidly in Liao.

............

Nanjing, Liaoguo, Xijin Mansion Shuai Division, study.

Ye Luchun, the king of Qin and Jin, looked at the letter in his hand angrily, his old face was blue.

"Zhao Bufan, this is the heart of the heart, this is the brave heart of the Khitan Erlang, where will the Great Song Dynasty allow the existence of slaves, this is to deceive our people!"

Yelu Dashi, who was standing in front of him, was dressed as a scholar of the Song people, and said expressionlessly: "King Yelu, I thought he was not completely deceiving our people, I am afraid that he is already planning to divide and rule, trying to completely disintegrate the fighting spirit of our people, this is the most terrible, I said earlier, our people should learn the culture of the Song people, and completely abandon the customs of the past."

Our previous customs simply can't rule a country for a long time, it will only bring endless wars, the rise of one tribe will inevitably defeat another tribe, it has been like this for thousands of years, and it is difficult for any tribe to guarantee that it will always be strong, so only by thoroughly integrating all the tribes can a great country be truly formed, and now Zhao Bufan is doing this kind of thing!"

Ye Luchun glanced at him and said lightly: "It's easy for you to say, not to mention whether the clansmen accept it or not, even if they do, how many people are willing to give up everything they have to support this kind of innovation? Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Great Liao has tried its best to implement the division of the north and the south and to bring the rights of the various tribes back to the imperial court, is it not enough to do its best? The environment in which we live is fundamentally different from that of the Song people, how can we learn from it? How many years have we been proposing the method of abolishing slaves, but how have we ever really realized it? Not to mention that our people did not agree, did the tribes have agreed? They did not rebel? Can they accept it?"
