It was only the fifth day after the family arrived in Youzhou that Wang Ning'an rushed back from the Great Wall.

After investigation, a strategy for guarding the Great Wall was formulated.

From east to west, there are a total of five majestic passes, which are the places that must be guarded, namely Shanhaiguan, Xifengkou, Gubeikou, Juyongguan and Zijingguan.

Among them, Shanhaiguan is Yushu Town. If these five powerful passes are guarded, the Liao soldiers will not be able to cross the Great Wall.

In order to complete the construction before the freezing, Wang Ning'an recruited civil servants. Among them, Yan Yun's Khitan nobles, gentry and landlords who depended on the Liao Kingdom, and soldiers under Chongyuan, raised a total of 100,000 people. In addition, Wang Ning'an collected 50,000 from Hebei and other places, plus 100,000 people in Youzhou, a total of 250,000 civil servants, and made every effort to prepare.

It's just strange that Wang Ning'an had so many people, but he didn't enter Guancheng, but kept fiddling in the rear, and didn't know what he was doing.

...

"Can't you find out at all?"

Zhang Xiaojie trembled all over, his head was buried very low, and he said helplessly: "I heard from Your Majesty that Wang Ning'an either killed or deposed the gentry in Youzhou. There was no news for the time being, but please rest assured. I will find out what I will soon be able to do."

Zhang Xiaojie kowtowed desperately to make a promise, but what he got was Yelu Hongji's cold snorting!

"Wang Ning'an can see that you are all wastes! Why should I support you and waste my food in vain!" Yelu Hongji suddenly roared: "Come, pull him down, demote him to a horse slave, and serve me in war horses!"

ah!

Zhang Xiaojie was crazy. He was the top scholar. Wen Kuixing, how could he be a slave? It was so humiliating! He struggled desperately and defended loudly: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to the Liao Dynasty. My loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon!"

The guards dragged Zhang Xiaojie out of the imperial tent, and they all arrived at the door. Suddenly, Yelu Hongji waved his hand and asked someone to bring Zhang Xiaojie back.

The top scholar Zhang Dazhao only thought that His Majesty changed his mind, like a skinny dog ​​that had been loved by his master again, knelt down in front of Yelu Hongji, burst into tears, and kept kowtowing to thank him.

"Your Majesty is kind, his heart is like the sea, and his saints are as good as the sky. I will do my best to find out Wang Ning'an's movements. Please rest assured that it won't take long..."

"and……"

Yelu Hongji chuckled, "Zhang Xiaojie, I have known that you and Wang Ning'an have been doing business for a long time. Is it a lot that you have made by relying on the market in recent years? You spit it out immediately, and you are not allowed to keep a penny. If you dare to hide it, I will kill your whole family immediately!"

While speaking, Gong Jun escorted Zhang Xiaojie's 18th wife, 21 sons and 13 daughters, standing in front of him.

Seeing his family, Zhang Xiaojie's eyes turned dark and he fainted.

...

Zhang Xiaojie was known for being greedy and cooperated with Wang Ning'an. His pockets were only a little worse than Yelu Chongyuan.

There are 2 million mu of pastures, 180,000 livestock, 6.7 million stags of money, 250,000 stones of grain, 38,000 cloth, 1,000 gold ingots, 5,000 silver ingots, and other jewelry, jade, calligraphy and paintings!

After raiding Zhang Xiaojie's home, Yelu Hongji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then there was another sad smile. He had no money and had to rely on the search of his home to maintain it!

The property was not kept for a night and it was distributed directly.

The grassland livestock was given to the kings of the Khitan tribes, and the money and food were used as food and salary for the palace army and the Pishi army. The remaining gold, silver, cloth, and various jewelry were packaged, and Yelu Yixin was sent to Xixia!

That's right, it's just for Xixia!!!

The great Liao Dynasty actually wanted to bow to the Western Xia. It was a great irony. But if we don’t join forces with the Western Xia, would there be any other choice?

In the battle of Shunzhou, a hundred thousand troops collapsed and the ice disappeared. Less than 30,000 people followed Yelu Hongji to escape from the Great Wall.

Fortunately, the Song army was unable to pursue, otherwise Yelu Hongji might have lost his life.

It took him several months to restore the troops in his hands to 80,000, including 50,000 in Pishou Army, 10,000 in Gongmen Army, and 20,000 in Tielin Army.

It seems that there are quite a few people, but the real elites are lost in Shunzhou, especially the three thousand heavy cavalry, and no one is left.

War horses, armor, and weapons were all thrown into the Song Dynasty!

You should know that these 3,000 people were created by Yelu Hongji, who was killed by the Wang family's iron cavalry and became a gambler who lost all his money and had nothing left.

If it were before, Yelu Hongji might have chosen to die, but after so much experience, Yelu Hongji became stronger.

He returned to the grassland, smelled the wild breath, and the wildness in his bones was awakened.

His first imperial edict was to order the country's name to be changed, the Daliao was abolished, and the Khitan!

The name of Liao Kingdom has been changed several times.

Obviously, the name of the Great Liao and Liao Dynasty is closer to the Central Plains, and the Khitan is the name of the grassland... Yelu Hongjiyao completely eliminated the influence of the Han people.

Interestingly speaking, the first thing Wang Ning'an did was to awaken the Han soul, while the first thing Yelu Hongji did was to restore the Khitan soul!

The eagles in the sky will not be bound by trees, and the wolves in the wilderness will not be stopped by the valley. Only cowardly rabbits will rely on their nests to protect... Losing Youzhou, but losing the shackles, returning to the grassland, the Khitans will quickly find the souls of their ancestors, brave, fierce, good at fighting, and fearless... Wang Ning'an, do you think that if you take Youzhou away, you can defeat me?

No, never!

I want to be reborn and train a stronger iron cavalry to completely kill you!

In order to set an example for his subordinates, Yelu Hongji tore his silk clothes, put on a fur coat, burned all the books, furniture, folding fans, cultural relics, and smashed porcelain. In short, he wanted to sweep away all the symbols related to the Han people.

In order to rule Yanyun, the southern official system had to be adopted. Now Youzhou has lost, and the Han bureaucrats have no value for existence.

The birds are gone and the bows are hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked!

Zhang Xiaojie, if you want to blame, you will blame you for being too stupid and too fat. If you don’t kill you, how can I spend the winter?

Xiao Lu also died, and the Xiao clan suffered heavy losses. He fell from a large clan that originally competed with the emperor to a level similar to the twenty Khitan tribes.

Yelu Hongji felt that he didn't need to take special care of Xiao.

He wanted to break the tradition of more than a hundred years and marry a queen from Xixia!

That's right!

Yelu Hongji plans to marry Xixia!

The Song Dynasty is no longer the same as before. A powerful Song Dynasty was not only a nightmare for the Liao Kingdom, but also a nightmare for the Western Xia. With a common enemy, it is normal for both sides to hold hands.

Yelu Hongji sent his confidant Yelu Yixin to meet the prime minister of Xixia, Mozang Epang. He hoped to marry Li Yuanhao's daughter, so that he would be the brother-in-law of the Emperor of Xixia, Li Liangzuo. The two countries were called brotherly countries, and they worked together to deal with the Song Dynasty.

In order to achieve his goal, Yelu Hongji spent a lot of money. He promised to give up the annual monies between the Khitan and the Xixia, and take out the treasure and give it to Mozang Epang, which must be done.

Yelu Hongji was very depressed, but he was helpless. Joining with Xixia was a must-take!

He must strive for a period of time to restore the Khitan warriors to their wildness, return to the nomadic state from a semi-agricultural and semi-parented person, and regain combat power.

But it is easier said than done. For more than a hundred years, the Khitan nobles have become accustomed to the life of luxury. They cannot live without the luxury goods of the Song Dynasty. The silky silk is their favorite. They are fond of eating sweets, which makes many people's teeth broken and they cannot eat jerky... bloated, cowardly, afraid of cold, and afraid of hardship... This is the virtue of most Khitan nobles.

If you want them to regain their wildness, it is probably more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Since there is no hope, it is better to destroy them and re-train a group of warriors with great combat power!

Crazy thoughts grew in Yelu Hongji's heart, and he summoned all the kings of the twenty Khitan tribes.

"I have no virtue and lost Youzhou. I really have no face to meet my ancestors and my clansmen... But since I am the Khitan emperor, I cannot sit idly and ignore the chaos. In a few months, snow will cover the earth and everything will freeze to death. Without food and clothing to keep warm, everyone will not be able to survive the cold winter. In the past, these were all achieved through Youzhou, through trade, and this time we have to pick up the knife in our hands, ride on war horses, rob, and grab... I will fight with everyone, and we will fight for survival!"

Yelu Hongji tried to arouse everyone's morale in a tragic tone, but it disappointed him. Many nobles just curled up their fat bodies even harder.

They wanted to say that at most they could continue to trade and exchange our cattle and sheep for food from the Song Dynasty. What's wrong with this? If you can avoid war, don't fight. Think about the biting cold wind and knife-like snowflakes, they would be chilling. If the Song people want Yanyun, they might as well give it up. Anyway, it's a waste of land, and they don't feel sorry for losing it. As long as it doesn't affect their lives, it's fine.

Yelu Hongji is going crazy, these guys are not even as good as pigs!

At least the pig was kicked and knew how to resist. They didn't even have the idea of ​​resisting. If they continued, they were afraid that the Khitan would be erased in a few decades!

It’s true that after decades, the rise of the Jin Kingdom and the Khitan completely disappeared. Yelu Hongji was also considered to be a foresight.

war!

Have to fight!

Or kill Wang Ning'an!

Or ask Wang Ning'an to kill these wastes and eliminate useless burdens for the Khitan!

Yelu Hongji made up his mind.

Unlike the previous tentative harassment, this time Yelu Hongji was going to make a big move. He personally commanded the 50,000 Pishi army and approached the line of Xifengkou and Shanhaiguan.

As for other tribes, they cannot be idle either. They know very well that this winter there is no food, no clothes, and no hard work, they may starve to death and freeze to death!

Although reluctant, there was no way. More than 200,000 cavalrymen were mobilized and divided into teams of all sizes. Although they had not done it for some days, they were robbers for many years and knew how to fight grass valleys from birth.

The Khitan army is ready to go!

Yelu Hongji was very cautious. He sent countless cavalry to investigate the situation in Shanhaiguan, and the news he received was exciting.

Two months ago, less than 10,000 civilians were sent to Shanhaiguan to renovate the foundation. With these people, they still want to repair the city before the winter? Go dreaming!

Wang Ning'an!

I want you to taste the bitter fruit of arrogance!
Chapter completed!
