536 Changchun Prefecture 3
The next morning, the sky was just dawn, Yelu Dashi, Yelu Yanxi, and Heshi Liezhining had woken up, and they asked to see Yelu Hong again.
This time they were taken toward the prefecture of Changchun Prefecture.
The city was full of scattered Khitan rebel soldiers. Most of these rebel soldiers had numb expressions on their faces. They had no food to eat for a long time and suffered for a long time. They just lived in the world!
Yelu Dashi was surprised to see such a Khitan rebel army. He didn't understand why such a Khitan rebel army, which seemed to be ineffective, could trap Wanyan Zonghan's 100,000 elite soldiers in Huanglong Mansion! In his opinion, these Khitan rebel army were vulnerable, and the Jurchens should have solved these rebel army long ago! He didn't know that these rebel army could not be killed, and the more they killed, the more they killed! Although they didn't seem to have much combat power, if they heard that there was food in front of them, they could do whatever they wanted, and even didn't care about their lives! Anyway, they would starve to death without food. Instead of doing so, why not try to grab food! Moreover, over this period of time, Xiao Qilang and others have gathered some of the prime men in the rebel army and started simple training. There were also some soldiers who could fight in the rebel army.
"My Daliao actually turned into this! After I took over the rebel army, I must work hard to train troops and turn this rebel army into an elite soldier!" Yelu Dashi said secretly.
Yelu Yilie and several other Khitan generals followed Yelu Dashi. They were also moved when they looked at the scenes around them! This is the Khitan people who looked down on the world back then, but now they are in this way! Countless Khitans live in the world like pigs and dogs, without dignity, just wanting to get some food! These Khitan generals were secretly wiping their tears there.
Heshi Liezhining was also very moved. He knew that it was these Khitans who were forced into desperate situation that made their Jurchen elite soldiers helpless. Now they could only hope to share their hopes with Yelu Dashi and others!
Walking forward, after a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at the front of the prefecture of Changchun Prefecture.
There were also soldiers standing here, but these soldiers were obviously different from the Khitan rebels! They were wearing uniforms, with horizontal swords around their waists, their eyes were sharp, and they glanced around from time to time, so that the idle people would not approach this place.
"How could there be a Song army here?" Yelu Dashi was shocked and said.
"Don't worry! There are five thousand Song troops beside Yelu Hong, and these Song troops are mainly responsible for protecting his safety! On weekdays, Yelu Hong is with these Song troops!" Heshi Liezhining said.
"He is the leader of a million Khitan rebels. He actually needs the "protect" of the Han people and is treated naked as a puppet by the Han people! Shame!" Yelu Dashi said indignantly.
"Yes, the Han people used five thousand elite soldiers to monitor him. A discerning person could tell at a glance that he was a puppet, but those rebel soldiers actually listened to him!" Heshi Liezhining said.
"I must rescue him!" Yelu Dashi said.
Whether it was Yelu Dashi, Heshi Liezhining or the Khitan generals behind him, they all felt that the Song army in front of him was extremely elite. Only Yelu Yanxi was still heartless and did not think that the Song army in front of him was of any great power.
They were taken into the government office, but before entering, their weapons were taken down. Yelu Dashi, Heshi Liezhining and others' expressions remained unchanged, while Yelu Yanxi inevitably cursed a few more words.
They walked inside, and after walking through a yard, a row of rooms appeared in front of them!
At this moment, a middle-aged Khitan man in his forties in his yellow robe was waiting for them here. A Song army general in his thirties stood beside the Khitan man, and several rebel generals dressed in Khitans.
This person is naturally the "King of Liao" enthroned by Yelu Hong and Zhao Chen, and beside him are Wang Gui, Xiao Qilang and others.
At this moment, Yelu Hong had already brought Wang Gui, Xiao Qilang and others to greet him with a smile.
Yelu Dashi and others had already stopped. Yelu Dashi was looking at Yelu Hong. He found that Yelu Hong was not much different from that year, and he felt more energetic! In fact, when Zhao Chen first met Yelu Hong, Yelu Hong was definitely not like this, and he was extremely down-and-out. However, he served as the King of Liao in Liaodong for a while. He was arrogant and his temperament naturally changed a lot! In addition, since he followed Zhao Chen, he has lived a wealthy life and is much younger than before.
Yelu Hong came to Yelu Dashi. He looked at Yelu Dashi carefully, and then laughed for a moment, saying, "It's really Brother Dashi! I haven't seen him for ten years, Brother Dashi seems to be much older!"
Yelu Dashi sighed softly and smiled, "Your Highness, you still haven't changed much!"
Yelu Hong was also filled with emotion at this moment. He sighed and said, "Actually, I have changed a lot! For ten years, I have been in Yanyun and have suffered a lot! Fortunately, Emperor Xuanwu drove away the Jurchens, and my life has improved a little! Okay, Brother Dashi, please come in quickly!"
Everyone entered the room. It was snowing heavily outside, but it was warm. Several Song soldiers brought hot tea, snacks, etc. on them.
Yelu Dashi and Heshi Liezhining did not do much, but Yelu Yanxi hurriedly picked up the snack and swallowed it in big mouthfuls! He hadn't eaten a lot of food in ten years, and now he smelled the sweetness of the snack, and could not help it!
"I wonder who this person is?" Yelu Hong looked at Yelu Yanxi and said.
"Your Highness, can't you even recognize Your Majesty Tianzuo?" Yelu Dashi stared at Yelu Hong and shouted softly.
"Your Majesty Tianzuo has long died at the hands of the Jurchens. Where did you find the fake emperor?" Yelu Hong's eyes twitched slightly, but he still spoke.
In fact, Yelu Hong had already seen that the old man in front of him was Yelu Yanxi, the former Emperor Tianzuo, and he was also very shocked! However, no matter what, he could not admit that the person in front of him was Emperor Tianzuo!
"Yelu Hong, you traitor! You and your father are both traitors! If it weren't for you, how could our great Liao Dynasty become like this?" Yelu Yanxi was furious, stood up, and pointed at Yelu Hong.
"The reason why the Great Liao Dynasty became like this is entirely because Emperor Tianzuo was incompetent and had nothing to do with his father!" Yelu Hong said coldly.
After Yelu Chun ascended the throne, he also tried to turn the tide. Unfortunately, Shangjing, Zhongjing, Tokyo and other places had been occupied by the Jurchens, and the elite troops of the Liao Kingdom were all lost. In addition, the Jurchen Wanyan Aguda was a peerless talent, and the Jurchen soldiers were extremely majestic. Yelu Chun was powerless and could not recover the defeat at all. The country was eventually destroyed! Many praises to Yelu Chun in history. The demise of the Liao Kingdom was actually not very important.
"Nonsense, it's all Yelu Chun, a traitor! I went to Jiashan and rested in the Mayushan area, and prepared to fight again. Yelu Chun, a dog thief, actually took the opportunity to usurp the throne, and the Liao Dynasty was destroyed! If I were in Yanjing City at that time, the Jurchens would definitely not be able to defeat him!" Yelu Yanxi still said.
"Then why did you escape? If it weren't for more than a year that you had no news, your ministers would not support your father ascend the throne!" Yelu Hong said furiously.
After Yelu Hong said that, the room suddenly became quiet.
After a moment, Yelu Dashi laughed and said, "Yelu Hong, it seems that you have to admit that the person in front of you is the Emperor Tianzuo of my Great Liao!"
Yelu Dashi was extremely happy. He felt that since Yelu Hong said such words, there were many rebel generals around him. These rebel generals would also know the truth that Yelu Yanxi was the emperor, and they would definitely follow Yelu Yanxi, the Emperor of the Great Liao!
He looked around, but he knew that the "rebel generals" around him remained unchanged. They were simply disdainful of Yelu Yanxi.
Yelu Dashi immediately knew something was wrong! But he didn't know that the "rebel generals" in front of him, including Xiao Qilang, who is now well-known in the world, were actually Han people! These "rebel generals" were ordered to lurk in Liaodong for many years and had already turned into Khitans. This time, the Khitans rebelled, and they all took power!
"Emperor Tianzuo has long been dead. His Highness the King of Liao just now just said nothing!" A young rebel general stood up and said.
"Who are you?" Yelu Dashi said.
"The last general Xiao Qi has seen the master!" The young general smiled and said.
"You are Xiao Qilang! You heard it just now. Yelu Hong admitted that this is my Emperor of the Great Liao, why are you unwilling to admit it?" Yelu Dashi said coldly.
"Everyone in the rebel army knew that Emperor Tianzuo was dead. Lord Yelu, even if you find someone to pretend to Emperor Tianzuo, we will not admit it!" Xiao Qilang laughed.
"You...you deserve to die!" Yelu Dashi, Yelu Yilie and others were full of anger, and Yelu Yanxi's eyes were also angry. Heshi Liezhining frowned at this moment. He did not expect that the rebel generals would not recognize Yelu Yanxi, the Emperor of the Great Liao! In this case, how would they recover the rebel army?
"Yelu Hong, do you still have Khitan people in your heart? Do you still treat yourself as a Khitan?" Yelu Dashi stared at Yelu Hong and gritted his teeth.
"Of course there are Khitan people in my heart! I have always treated myself as a Khitan!" Yelu Hong said seriously.
"At present, my Khitan is about to encounter national disaster. Are you willing to make some contribution to my Khitan?" Yelu Dashi said.
"I don't know what the national crisis of my Khitan was?" Yelu Hong said.
"The Han people went north and have now captured Shangjing and Zhongjing. If they continue to go east, after they conquered Liaodong, the whole world will become Han people! At that time, we Khitans will become slaves of Han people and be enslaved by Han people! But you are short-sighted and are still fighting with the Jurchens!" Yelu Dashi said.
"Then what should I do?" Yelu Hong said.
"You should stop fighting with the Jurchens immediately now, and then join forces with the Jurchens, and then lead a million rebels to block the Song army! After the Song army retreats, we can reorganize the mountains and rivers and restore the Great Liao. Do you think it's okay?" Yelu Dashi looked at Yelu Hong with a longing look and said.
"I don't think it's good!" Yelu Hong said lightly.
"Why is it not good? Don't you want to restore the Great Liao? Are you still a citizen of the Great Liao?" Yelu Dashi said excitedly.
"The demise of the Great Liao was God's will. I have never thought of restoring the Great Liao!" Yelu Hong said.
"You traitor! I thought you were coerced by the Han people, but I didn't expect that you were willing to be a lackey of the Han people! Rebels! You are all traitors!" Yelu Dashi cursed angrily.
"Brother Dashi, it has been more than 20 years since the Jurchen invasion. My Khitan people have suffered so much! Over the years, millions of tribes have found it difficult to have a full meal. They are hungry every day and have to suffer persecution from the Jurchens! Most of our strong men and men are forced to join the Jurchens' new affiliated army, fighting for the Jurchens, and our women are also humiliated by the Jurchens! My Khitans' life is not as good as death! Do you know these?" Yelu Hong's voice began to become cold and said.
"I know all this." Yelu Dashi was stunned and said.
"Do you know what the tribe members want to do most now?" Yelu Hong said.
"They want to restore the Great Liao!" Yelu Dashi thought for a while and said.
"No! They want to stop the war, they want to have a full meal! You said something just now. I surrendered to the Han people, and I was willing to surrender to the Han people! Because only by following the Han people can the war stop, and millions of our tribes can rest and recuperate! Emperor Xuanwu is unparalleled and will never enslave our tribesmen, but will let our tribesmen live a happy life! If we continue to fight against the Han people, even if the Han people are driven away this time, what should we do next year? Will the Han people come again? When will the Han people be so powerful? The tribesmen really can't afford to consume it, and they really don't want to fight again! Do you know that they want to stop and live a normal life? The Jurchens are cruel, so we naturally have to resist them, but the Han people are kind, so we don't need to resist again!" Yelu Hong asked.
"This... you are talking nonsense! You will only say such things after you surrender to the Han people! The tribe members want to rebuild the Great Liao, take back Yanyun, and become the world's largest country again. They are not afraid of war!" Yelu Dashi felt a little shaken in his mind and hurriedly said.
"You go and ask the rebel soldiers in Changchun Prefecture, what they think! If someone gives them some food now and tells them that they can go back to their hometown to grow grain next year, and they don't have to go hungry, they will never continue fighting! You don't know what the people think!" Yelu Hong said coldly.
"Not like this! You are talking nonsense! After the demise of the Liao Kingdom, countless people of our tribes only want to revive the Liao Dynasty, and they will never have such decadent ideas!" Yelu Dashi still argued.
"I believe that after Emperor Xuanwu arrives, the people will live a good life! Brother Dashi, think about it again! I have arranged a feast and I will wash you at noon! Brother Dashi, we still have to discuss important matters, so I won't accompany you for now!" Yelu Hong picked up the teacup and said.
"Goodbye!" Yelu Dashi said coldly.
Chapter completed!
