Then, Yelu Deguang led his troops from Chigang to the palace. The capital city gates and the palace gates were guarded by Liao soldiers, and they did not leave their weapons day and night. They also killed dogs in front of the gate, raised long poles in the courtyard, and hung sheepskin as a curse. The Liao master Yelu Deguang said to his ministers: "From now on, we will not regulate weapons, buy war horses, reduce taxes, and collect less labor service. The world will be peaceful!" The Tokyo system was abolished, Kaifeng Prefecture was reduced to Bianzhou, and the former prefect was the defensive envoy. On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Yelu Deguang changed to wear clothes and clothes in Zhongyuan, and all civil and military officials went to court to retreat to court were in accordance with the old rules and regulations.

Zhao Yanshou and Zhang Li recommended Li Song together, saying that he was very talented. Just as the Weisheng Jiedushi Feng Dao entered the court from Dengzhou, the Liao lord Yelu Deguang had long heard of the reputation of these two people and gave courtesy to show his importance. When Feng Dao paid homage to Yelu Deguang, the Liao lord asked jokingly: "What kind of me are you?" Feng Dao replied: "No talent and no virtue, I am stubborn." Yelu Deguang couldn't help but smile and asked: "How can you see the people in the world save?" Feng Dao flatteredly: "A Buddha is born at this time, I am afraid that the people will not be saved. Only the emperor may be able to save the people." Yelu Deguang was very happy. Soon, Yelu Deguang appointed Li Song as the crown prince's grand tutor and serve as the Privy Council; he ordered Feng Dao to be the Grand Tutor, and serve as the consultant in the Privy Council.

Yelu Deguang sent envoys to grant the edict to the various vassal states of the Later Jin Dynasty. The various vassal states fought for the above comments, and no one who was summoned could arrive quickly. Only Shi Kuanwei, the governor of Zhangyi, guarded Jingzhou and did not accept the order. He Chongjian, the governor of Xiongwu, killed the envoys of the Liao Kingdom who came to pass the edict, led Qin, Jie, and Cheng Cheng and surrendered to Houshu.

Dewey restored his old name Du Chongwei. After leading the Jin army to surrender to the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Deguang confiscated all the weapons under Du Chongwei's command, "millions of armor, stored in Hengzhou. Yelu Deguang sent tens of thousands of horses to send back to the country in the north. In addition, Du Chongwei was sent to lead his troops to follow him south. When he arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, Yelu Deguang saw that there were too many soldiers surrendered by the Later Jin Dynasty, and was afraid of an accident, he wanted to use his cavalry to drive them all into the Yellow River.

Someone advised: "There are still many Jin soldiers everywhere. When they hear that they surrendered, they will definitely resist to the end. It is better to appease them first and slowly think of a complete plan." The Liao Lord adopted this suggestion and sent Du Chongwei to lead the surrendered troops to station in Chenqiao. As it was snowing for many days, the government did not provide food and salary. The soldiers were cold and hungry, and they all resented Du Chongwei and cried together. Every time Du Chongwei left the tent, the soldiers beside the road scolded him.

Du Chongwei was restless and had no choice but to report to the military situation. Yelu Deguang summoned Zhao Yanshou to discuss together, hoping to kill all the Jin soldiers.

Zhao Yanshou said to him: "The emperor personally led his troops and seized the Jin Kingdom by flying arrows and rocks. Do you want to possess them yourself? Or do you want to seize them for others?" Yelu Deguang's face suddenly changed and he said angrily: "I have commanded the whole country to fight south. I have not untied my armor for five years. I have just obtained it. How can I seize them for others!" Zhao Yanshou said: "There is Tang in the south of Jin and Shu in the west. They often become enemies of each other. The emperor also knows?" Yelu Deguang replied: "I naturally know."

Zhao Yanshou also said: "The Jin State starts from Yizhou and Mizhou in the east, and reaches Qinzhou and Fengzhou in the west, and extends for thousands of miles. The border is connected with Wu and Shu, and soldiers must be sent to guard it. The south is hot and humid, and people in the north cannot live. In the future, you will be driving north, but there is no soldiers to guard the Jin State in such a vast territory. Wu and Shu will definitely take advantage of it.

Invasion. In this way, isn’t it a way to seize the country for others?” Yelu Deguang was slightly stunned and said, “This is something I didn’t expect. So what should I do?”

Zhao Yanshou said, "Chen Qiao's surrendered troops can be separated to guard the southern border. In this way, Wu and Shu cannot become a future disaster." Yelu Deguang said, "I used to be in Shangdang. The mistake was to be indecisive and handed over the Tang soldiers to Jin. Unexpectedly, I became enemies with me and fought against me in the north. I worked hard for several years before I defeated them. I was lucky enough to fall into my hands. If I don't take advantage of this time, would I still be left as a future disaster?"

Zhao Yanshou said: "In the past, the Jin soldiers were left in Henan and did not take their wives as hostages, so this kind of worry was caused. If they moved their families to Heng, Ding, Yun and Shuo prefectures, they would take turns to guard the southern border every year, why not be afraid of their sudden changes? This is the best strategy!" Yelu Deguang said happily: "Yes! All are handled according to the opinions of the King of Yan!" So Chen Qiao was exempted and was repatriated to the barracks respectively.

Besides, Shi Chonggui received the order from the Liao lord to move to Huanglong Mansion. Shi Chonggui did not dare to fail, and did not want to hurry, so he delayed for several days. Yelu Deguang sent 300 knights and forced Shi Chonggui to move north. Shi Chonggui had no choice but to set off with his family.

In addition to Shi Chonggui, the group also accompanied the Empress Dowager Li, the Imperial Concubine An, the Empress Feng, the Imperial Brother Shi Chongrui, the Prince Shi Yanxu, and Shi Yanbao. There were fifty palace concubines, thirty internal officials, fifty east and west squads, one medical officer, four crane officers, seven imperial chefs, three tea and wine, three Yiluansi, and twenty personal soldiers, and followed them together.

Yelu Deguang also sent Zhao Ying, the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, "Prince Envoy Feng Yu and the Commander-in-Chief Li Yantao, to accompany Shi Chonggui. The chief officials of the prefectures and counties who passed along the way did not dare to welcome Shi Chonggui's carriage. Even if someone offered it to Shi Chonggui, they were taken away by the Liao cavalry. Shi Chonggui's people were sought after after breakfast, but there was no dinner. After dinner, there was no breakfast. In addition, the mountains and rivers were difficult and the wind and rain were desolate, and they were sad and regretful!

When Shi Chonggui encountered such a tragic situation, he couldn't help but recall that he flirted with Feng Hou and others when he was in Da Nei. When Shi Chonggui entered Cizhou, the governor Li Yu welcomed Shi Chongyu and cried to each other. Li Yu said, "I am really unruly, I am sorry for your kindness!" Shi Chonggui burst into tears and could not say a word. Li Yu offered all his gifts, and after Chonggui accepted it, he said the four words "Farewell to you"! The Liao soldiers refused to be kind and urged him to go quickly. Li Yu said goodbye to you Chonggui and returned to Cizhou.

Shi Chonggui walked to Zhongdu Bridge and saw the site of Du Chongwei Village. He sighed indignantly: "Why did my family bear the Du thief? He was destroyed by him!" At this point, he couldn't help but feel pain. His left and right reluctantly comforted him and had just crossed Hebei. When he arrived in Youzhou, the scholars and common people came to visit him. The elders or the elders were holding sheep and holding wine, and were willing to offer to offer.

Shi Chonggui was of course miserable, and all the people in the state sighed. Shi Chonggui entered the city and stayed for more than six months. The state will take over the order of Liao lord and reward wine and meat. Zhao Yanshou's mother also offered food and food. Only when Chonggui and the people who followed him were full were considered full. Since they started traveling from Youzhou, passed Jizhou, Pingzhou, and went east to Yuguan, thanks to the two of them along the way.

When Shi Chonggui stayed at night, there were no inns. He often fell asleep in the forest at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, there were fruits everywhere on the mountain. Palace maids and palace servants

The official, Yelu Deguang, ordered them to go and eat, but they were still able to treat their hunger. Shi Chonggui wanted to use this to survive, so he went to Jinzhou for another seven or eight days. A portrait of the Liao Taizu Abaoji was hung in the prefecture. The Liao army forced Chonggui and others to bow down.

Shi Chonggui was humiliated and cried, "Xue Chao misled me! I won't die." After walking for another five or six days, he passed through Haibei Prefecture. There was the tomb of the King of Dongdan in the territory, and Yan Xu was specially sent to pay homage. He crossed the Liao River to Tiezhou, Bohai Kingdom, and went to Huanglong Mansion. He read it for more than ten days. He couldn't speak the pain and exhaustion. Empress Dowager Li and Concubine An were old and were extremely upset. Concubine An had eyesight, but she cried for several days and was blind. Even the concubines from Empress Feng were exhausted and haggard, with their jade bones worn out.

When Shi Chonggui severed relations with the Liao Kingdom, Liu Jixun, the governor of Kuang Kingdom, was the envoy of the Northern Court of Xuanhui at that time, and participated in the planning of the matter. When Yelu Deguang entered Daliang, Liu Jixun came to pay his respects again, and Yelu Deguang naturally wanted to blame him. At that time, Feng Dao was in the hall, and Liu Jixun hurriedly pointed at Feng Dao and said, "Feng Dao is the prime minister, and he planned this matter with Jing Yanguang. I am humble in my official position, so how dare I speak!" Yelu Deguang said, "This old man is not a troublesome person, don't attract him randomly!" He ordered people to lock Liu Jixun and escort him to Huanglong Mansion.

Zhao Zaili went to Luoyang and said to people: "The Lord of Liao once said that the rebellion of Zhuangzong was caused by me. It seems that my trip is deeply worrying." Yelu Deguang sent the Liao general Shu Zha, King Xi Zhala, and General Gao Mohan of Bohai to station in Luoyang. Zhao Zaili entered the visit. Zhao Zaili arrived in Zhengzhou and heard that Liu Jixun, who was going to the court, was locked up. He was extremely frightened. At night, he committed suicide in Mafang. Yelu Deguang heard that Zhao Zaili committed suicide, so he released Liu Jixun. Soon, Liu Jixun died of worries and anger.

Yelu Deguang was in the capital and widely accepted tribute gifts from all directions. While drinking and having fun, he often said to the ministers of the former Later Jin Dynasty: "I know all about you Central Plains, but you don't know about our country!" Zhao Yanshou asked for food and salary to the northern army, and Yelu Deguang said: "There is no such rule in our country."

So the Liao army released Hu cavalry everywhere, and looted everywhere in the name of releasing horses, called "Dacao Valley". The young and strong people died at the knife edge of the Khitan soldiers, and the elderly and weak filled the gullies. From Daliang, Luoyang to Zheng, Hua, Cao, and Puzhou, and on the ground of hundreds of miles, property and livestock were almost plundered.

Yelu Deguang said to the three senators: "The Liao army is 300,000. If you put down Jin, you should give generous rewards. You should prepare for the process as soon as possible." At that time, the government warehouse was empty, and the three senators came out of nowhere, so they borrowed money from the scholars and people in the capital. From the generals and ministers, they were inevitably sent. They also sent dozens of envoys to borrow money from various states, all threatening to punish them with severe punishment. The people lived in poverty. In fact, the money was not issued to the Liao soldiers, but were all accumulated in the warehouses in the palace, intending to load and transport them to their own country. So they resented and angry inside and outside, and began to feel the disasters and pains of the Liao Kingdom, and they all wanted to expel them.

At the beginning, Shi Chonggui and the governor of Hedong, the Minister of the Secretariat, and the King of Beiping Liu Zhiyuan were suspicious of each other. Although Liu Zhiyuan was appointed as the commander of the northern camp, he was only a false reputation. In fact, he could not interfere with the actions of each army. Therefore, Liu Zhiyuan recruited a large number of soldiers; in the battle of Yangcheng, thousands of scattered soldiers from each army joined him. Later, he obtained Tuyuhun's property and livestock. Therefore, among the various vassal states, Liu Zhiyuan was the most prosperous and powerful in Hedong, with as many as 50,000 infantry and cavalry.
