Li Jiqian was the son of Li Guangyan, the defender of Yinzhou, and the clan brother of Li Jipang. After Li Jiqian grew up, he was famous in the village for his bravery and strategy. Li Guangrui, the governor of Dingnan Army, admired this clan nephew very much and appointed Li Jiqian, who was only twelve years old, as the commander of the commander of the capital of the Nei. Later, the clan brother Li Jipang and Li Kewen were incompatible. Li Kewen made suggestions in front of Zhao Guangyi that Li Jipang could not succeed as the governor. Li Jipang simply offered land to surrender to the Song Dynasty, but Li Jiqian refused to surrender to Zhao Guangyi, and was even more unwilling to leave his hometown, so he led his troops to fight against the Song army.

The news of Li Jiqian occupying Yinzhou was conveyed to the capital. Zhao Guangyi hurriedly ordered Tian Renlang, the magistrate of Qinzhou, and others to join forces to attack. Tian Renlang was ordered to mobilize various troops. After all the troops gathered one after another, Tian Renlang led his army northward. When he arrived in Suizhou, he heard that Li Jiqian was besieging the Sanzu village and had tens of thousands of troops. Tian Renlang was worried that he would be outnumbered, so he sent someone to report Zhao Guangyi urgently and requested to increase his troops.

Soon, he heard that the three clan villages had lost their troops. The defending general Zhe Yumu killed the military envoy and joined forces with Li Jiqian to attack Funing Village. The soldiers asked for a quick rescue. Tian Renlang smiled and said, "It's better, it's better! The foreigners are just mobs, and they come together to invade the border. If they win, they will continue to attack. If they lose, they will naturally retreat. Now Li Jiqian gathers tens of thousands of people and sends all the elite troops to attack an isolated village. Although Funing Village is very small, the terrain is dangerous and it will definitely not be attacked by them in ten or five days. I will wait until their teachers and veterans are exhausted, and then I will cover them up. At the same time, hundreds of people are sent with strong bows and crossbows to cut off their way back. They will definitely be captured by me." After hearing this, the soldiers had to withdraw silently.

Tian Renlang also deliberately stated that he was very leisurely and drank and had fun all night. Deputy General Wang Zhi was dissatisfied with him, so he reported these situations to Zhao Guangyi in private. Zhao Guangyi learned that he ordered Tian Renlang to return to Beijing and brought him to prison and questioned him. Zhao Guangyi asked him about the capture of the three clan villages and the request for additional troops without reason.

Tian Renlang defended: "Yin, Sui and Xia prefectures defended their troops, and they refused to set off, so they asked for more troops. The three clans were too far apart. When I summoned my troops and arrived in Suizhou, they were already lost. I didn't have time to rescue them for a while, so I should not be responsible for it. Besides, I have formulated good strategies to capture Li Jiqian alive. But because I returned to the capital by the imperial edict, the clever plan was not implemented. I think Li Jiqian is quite popular with the local people. If I cannot capture him alive at this time, I have to appease him. Or use generous benefits to tempt others and make them secretly plot against Li Jiqian. Eliminate one day and one day earlier, otherwise it will become a major concern."

Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "I heard that you are drinking and having fun, and you have all kinds of illegal behaviors. Will Li Jiqian come to die?" Tian Renlang said: "This is just my plan to lure the enemy." Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "What is luring the enemy but not luring the enemy? I don't need you anymore. I want to see if Li Jiqian is really so rampant?" So Zhao Guangyi ordered someone to put Tian Renlang in prison again. The next day, I issued an edict to prevent him from dying and demoted him to Shangzhou.

Besides, after the deputy general Wang Zhi squeezed Tian Renlang away, he led his army to the north of Yinzhou, broke through several enemy camps, and killed the enemy generals Zhe Luoyu and Linzhou. Therefore, he was frightened and feared, and he atoneed his sins and helped the Song army to attack Li Jiqian. Wang Zhi gathered all the troops and attacked Zhuilunchuan.

Just as Zhe Yuki led his men to come, and they fought two times. Zhe Yuki was killed and defeated. Wang Qi's soldiers captured him. Li Jiqian rushed over immediately, and Wang Qi's troops fought.

He drove him to kill him for a while. Li Jiqian was defeated and fled in a desert. Wang Zhi reported to Kai to return, and there was an imperial edict ordered Guo Shouwen to go to the border and take charge of the border affairs with Wang Zhi.

Guo Shouwen and Yin Xian, the magistrate of Xiazhou, attacked Zhufan in Yancheng and burned more than a thousand camps. Since then, all the 125 tribes of Yin, Lin and Xiazhou have surrendered to them, with more than 16,000 households. All the northwest areas have been pacified. Li Jiqian has no way out and has no choice but to submit a report to the Liao court, expressing his willingness to be a foreign minister of the Liao Kingdom. After accepting him, the Liao Kingdom has surrendered him, and he canonized him as King of Xia, and married the clan's daughter Yicheng Princess to him.

At this time, the Liao master Yelu Xian was dead, and his son Yelu Longxu succeeded to the throne. Since Yelu Longxu was still very young, the national affairs were all under the control of the Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo, who was the biggest opponent of the Yang family general. Xiao Chuo was nicknamed Yanyan and was the daughter of Xiao Siwen, an important official of the Liao Dynasty.

Xiao Chuo has been smart since childhood, and he has the spirit of never giving up until he achieves his goal. He is no exception in some small things, so he is deeply loved by his father Xiao Siwen. Once, Xiao Chuo and his sisters did housework together, and several sisters ended up quickly, but she continued to clean carefully. She tidied the furniture neatly, and Xiao Siwen praised with a complimentary look: "This woman will definitely accomplish great things."

Emperor Muzong of Liao, Yelu Jing, took Xiao Siwen and other trusted ministers to hunt in Heishan. One night, the drunk Yelu Jing was assassinated by his close servants. Xiao Siwen, who was beside Yelu Jing, blocked the news and informed Yelu Xian of the Privy Council of the Southern Court Gao Xun, Feilong Miss Li, and others to rush to Heishan. Xiao Siwen, Gao Xun, Nuli and others jointly persuaded him to advance, and Yelu Xian succeeded to the throne in front of Ling.

After Yelu Xian ascended the throne, he promoted Xiao Siwen to the Privy Council of the Northern Court, summoned Xiao Chuo to the palace as the imperial concubine, and soon appointed Xiao Chuo as the queen. Because Yelu Xian was sick, the state affairs were under the charge of Xiao Chuo. Yelu Xian once ordered a scholar in the History Museum to raise his wife's status to the same level as himself. With Yelu Xian's acquisition, all the daily government affairs of the Liao Kingdom were independently decided by Xiao Chuo. With Xiao Chuo's efforts, the Liao Kingdom became increasingly powerful.

On the first day of the first month of the spring of the second year of Qianheng, Yelu Xian appointed him and Xiao Chuo's son Yelu Longxu as King of Liang. When Yelu Xian died, he left a will to King Yelu Longxu of Liang to succeed him. He obeyed the orders of the empress in military and national affairs, and at the same time made Yelu Xiezhen and Han Delang the ministers of Gushi. Yelu Longxu succeeded to the throne in front of Ling at the age of twelve. The first thing Xiao Chuo thought of was that the king's young country was suspicious, and more than 200 royal princes were respectful, with strong forces and changing situations.

Xiao Chuo's father Xiao Siwen had been killed long ago, and she had no family to rely on. So she immediately summoned two life-threatening ministers, Han Derang and Yelu Xizhen, and she burst into tears with anxiety: "The mother is weak and the clan is strong, and the border guards are not stable, what can you do?" Neither of these two people are outsiders. Han Derang is Xiao Chuo's old lover. Yelu Xizhen is Xiao Chuo's niece, and he is both a close relative and a confidant. Tears in front of them will naturally arouse their shared hatred for the enemy. Sure enough, these two immediately swore allegiance: "But trust me, why worry about it!"

On the first day of the 10th day of the winter of the fourth year of Qianheng, Yelu Longxu came to the court to observe the government. The ministers were honored as Emperor Zhaosheng and respected the empress as the empress. Xiao Chuo arranged Yelu Xiuge to serve as a left-behind person in Nanjing, in charge of the military affairs in the south, strengthened border defense, and appointed Yelu Xizhen as the Privy Councilor of the Northern Court to manage internal affairs, especially strictly control the nobles. At the same time, Xiao Chuo adopted the suggestion of Han Derang, the Privy Councilor of the Southern Court, and issued an order to the princes of the royal family that "the kings will return to their posts and will not be allowed to meet in Yan privately", causing them to lose their military power, and at the same time summoned the relatives of the royal family to the palace.

For quality, a major internal concern has been solved.

Xiao Chuo trusted and valued Han Delang very much, and appointed Han Delang as the governor and Privy Councilor, as the general guard. Han Delang was a Han native. His grandfather Han Zhigu was plundered to the Liao Kingdom as a slave in the late Tang Dynasty, and later became the Minister of the Central Secretariat. His father Han Kuangsi was appointed as the king of Yan in Nanjing. Due to his failure in fighting with the Song army, he was appointed as the governor of Jinchang and was demoted to the King of Qin. Han Delang was influenced by his family and his father since childhood, and his wisdom was beyond his power and profound in governing the country.

At the beginning, he served Emperor Jingzong of Liao and was cautious and honest, and added the Dongtou Fengguan official. When the Song army attacked Nanjing, Han Derang was not afraid of danger and climbed the city to command the defenders to resist for fifteen days and nights. Reinforcements arrived, and the Liao army attacked inside and outside, defeating the Song army at Gaoliang River. Han Derang was awarded the title of Jiedushi of Liao Xingjun for his merits, and was promoted to the Privy Councilor of the Southern Court, and was named "Dechang", becoming the most powerful Han people in the Liao Kingdom.

Emperor Jingzong of Liao was critically ill, and De Rang and Yelu Xizhen were both ordered by Gu. In order to win over Han De Rang, Xiao Chuo decided to remarry him. Xiao Chuo said to Han De Rang privately: "I promised to marry you, and I wish to be a good old man. I will be your son as the young master of the country." Since then, Han De Rang has no hesitation to go in and out of Xiao Chuo's tent, going out to hunt and handle government affairs. The two of them eat together, sit side by side, and lie on the same tent, just like a couple.

With the support of Xiao Ku, Han Derang united the Khitan nobles and Han people with talented people in the Han people, implemented the selection of officials and appointments, regardless of the Han Dynasty, and assessed officials. Established the imperial examination system; cleared the jails since the beginning of the jail; reduced taxes and service for victims of war and natural disasters and other reform measures, which led to a prosperous and prosperous situation in the Liao Kingdom.

Han Derang was loyal to Xiao Chuo, and Xiao Chuo also particularly valued and favored Han Derang. Yelu Hugu, the governor of Zhuozhou, was dissatisfied with Han Derang's intimacy with Xiao Chuo. As a result, in public, Han Derang actually shot Yelu Hugu alive. Xiao Chuo insisted on not seeing it and did not punish Han Derang. Once, Xiao Chuo watched a polo game. When Han Derang appeared, the Khitan noble Hulishi accidentally knocked him off the horse. Xiao Chuo was furious and immediately beheaded Hulishi.

After the political situation was stable, Yelu Longxu led his ministers to respect the Empress Dowager as the Empress Dowager Chengtian, and the ministers were honored as Emperor Tianfu, and the emperor was granted the title of Emperor Tianfu, and the reign of the world was changed to Tonghe. Yelu Longxu and Yelu Xizhen exchanged bows, arrows, saddles and horses in front of Xiao Chuo, and made friends. Besides, Yelu Xiuge called the orders and was powerful, which shocked the Shuomo. After surrendering Li Jiqian, Xiao Chuo ordered him to spy on the border of Song and intend to go south.

After hearing about Xiao Chuo's romantic affairs, He Lingtu, the governor of Xiongzhou in the Song Dynasty, and his father, He Huaipu, the governor of Yuezhou, heard about Xiao Chuo's romantic affairs, he and Wen Si envoy Xue Jizhao and others successively advised Zhao Guangyi, believing that the Liao Dynasty "is young and state affairs determined by his mother, and his general Han De'er favored him, and the people of the country were afraid of him." It was a great opportunity to send troops to attack.

Zhao Guangyi adopted their suggestions and decided to divide his troops into three groups to attack the Liao Kingdom. Zhao Guangyi appointed Cao Bin, the governor of Tianping Army, to deploy the cavalry and infantry army in the front line of Youzhou Road Xingying, Cui Yanjin, the governor of Heyang Sancheng, as deputy. The commander of the guards, the commander of the horse army, Mi Xin, the governor of the Changhua Army, as the northwest road, Du Yangui, as deputy, and led the army out of Xiongzhou. The commander of the guards, Tian Chongjin, the governor of Jingnan Army, as the commander of the road army, and Tian Chongjin, the governor of the Jingnan Army, as the commander of the road army, and led the troops out of the Feihu. The chief sergeant of the procuratorate, Pan Mei, the governor of the Zhongwu Army, as Yun, Ying, Shuo and other prefectures were deployed, and Yang Ye, the commander of the Yunzhou Observation Army, as deputy general, and led the troops out of Yanmen.
