Liaodong, Yanyuan County, Yaozhou (near present-day Yingkou, Liaoning).

In the northeast of the county seat, the camp stretched for several miles, and there were tens of thousands of Liao soldiers in the camp who were resting and recuperating, and there were also several teams of light horsemen patrolling around the camp, paying attention to the surrounding movements.

Suddenly, a group of men and horses galloped all the way into the main camp of the village, and behind the leading knight, a big red cloak hunting rolled up, straight like a red cloud fluttering in the air. When the soldiers of the Liao army in the camp saw that person, they all stood up and saluted him respectfully, and it seemed that this person was also a powerful figure in the Liao court.

When the man rode his horse to a short distance in front of the tent, he turned over and dismounted cleanly, threw the reins into the hands of a retinue beside him, and then strode towards the tent. When he walked to the mouth of the tent, the man smiled, and stretched out his hand to beat the chest of a guard in front of the tent, the guard's broad chest made a tom sound, and he was even more terrified to the dignitaries of the Liao Dynasty to bow down.

The man smiled and waved his hand, and after he entered the tent, more than a dozen generals also bowed to him, and said in unison: "I have seen Your Highness!" ”

After the man sat down cross-legged in the top position of the tent, he said in high spirits: "This king sees that there are abundant water and grass here, and there are many birds and beasts. After the king has wiped out the thieves who committed the rebellion in one fell swoop, this is a good place to hunt! ”

When a resolute and mighty general in the tent heard this, he also said to the man: "If Your Highness is interested, the minister is also willing to come with Your Highness to hunt." ”

The man only smiled slightly, and did not reply to the general's words. After all, he knew that although the general had made some military exploits, he was also the fifth grandson of Xiao Jixian, the prime minister of the Great Liaobei Mansion, and the sibling brother of the current Holy Empress Xiao Duoli and the Yuan Concubine Xiao Guige. But the man still subconsciously kept a certain distance from this general, especially his brother.

Because this general is called Xiao Sixian, his brother is a favorite minister of Emperor Tianzuo, an official privy envoy, and Xiao Fengxian, who was named the king of Lanling County. That Xiao Fengxian relied on his status as a noble relative to grow in power in the court, but in the eyes of many Liao ministers, he was just a loyal on the outside and narrow-minded on the inside.

After all, my Great Liao is becoming more and more turbulent, and at such a critical time, there must not be another person who seems to be the emperor during the reign of Yelu Yixina and other powers......

And this person, who is called His Royal Highness by the generals, is the commander of the Liao army who commanded the Liao army against the rebels from all walks of life in Liaodong, and Yelu Chun, the cousin of Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liaotianzuo.

The imperial family of the Liao State is far less peaceful than the Zhao clan of the Great Song Dynasty, from the Liao Shizong Yelu Ruan and Yelu Li Hu competed for the throne, Yelu Cha cut and killed Yelu Ruan in an attempt to usurp the throne; Liaomuzong Yelujing killed Yelucha again, and Yelulouguo and other royal families tried to plot chaos to drive Liaomuzong down; After the death of Liao Jingzong, the Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan in order to protect her young son Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu, and reused the Han Han Derang, the famous general Yelu Xiuge and other ministers to confront the royal clans; During the Yelu Zongzhen period of Liaoxingzong, the Empress Dowager Fatian planned to change her second son Yelu Chongyuan as the emperor; Then to Liaodaozong Yelu Hongji, Yelu Chongyuan's father and son rebelled... It seems that in every dynasty of the Liao Dynasty, the Yelu royal family fought with blood relatives in the same room in order to usurp the throne......

It seems that even if the founding of the Kaiyuan Dynasty has been established, the blood flowing in the body of the Yelu royal family still retains the habit of being brave and ruthless, and the weak eat the strong, so after the successive Liao emperors succeeded to the throne, they were usually afraid that the clans and royals around them who were obedient and obedient on the surface would also usurp the throne in order to seek the country, and take their lives while they were unprepared.

However, Emperor Tianzuo trusted his cousin, and after he ascended the throne, he was promoted to the title of prince of Yeluchun several times, and even successively promised to be the prime minister of Yinanfu, Tokyo, Nanjing and other important positions, it can be said that Emperor Tianzuo's favor to Yeluchun is far beyond that of other clan kings.

What's more, Yeluchun almost replaced Emperor Tianzuo's father Yelujun back then, and was almost reappointed as the heir to the throne by Liao Daozong, but now his nephew and today's saint have so much trust in him, which also makes Yeluchun very grateful to Emperor Tianzuo.

The Holy One has treated me very much, and not only entrusted me with a heavy responsibility to my son Jerod Asa, but also canonized my beloved daughter as the princess of Tianshou... Since I have been ordered by the Holy Emperor to crusade against the rebels and rebels this time, I will definitely wipe out all the pickled chaos that dares to rebel, and ensure the long-term peace and stability of my great Liaojiang country.

Ye Luchun was thinking in his heart, and when he thought of his beloved daughter, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a kind smile: My daughter is also worthy of being a Khitan child who is good at leading bows and riding horses, although she is still young, she can also hone her bow and horse martial arts. Khitan Shari, who is a few years older than her, is not as capable as her. It's just that in a few years, it's time to marry a good man... Every time I think of this, I am also reluctant to give up, and after this battle is fought as soon as possible, I should also return to Nanjing Palace as soon as possible and accompany her for a while longer......

Ye Luchun thought about it in his heart, and he asked Xiao Sixian and the other Liao army generals: "Xiao Han's slave has led 6,000 soldiers and horses to attack the rebels in Kaizhou for a while, but what battle reports have come from here?" ”

Xiao Si listened first and replied: "Your Highness, most of the town of Zhuang under the rule of Kaizhou has been recaptured by our army, although the Bohai rebel general Dao Ra and others occupy the city and resist stubbornly, but the rebels can hardly stop the vigor of our army, and it is expected that if you want to break the city and recover Kaizhou, it is just around the corner." ”

Yeluchun nodded and said: "Pass on the king's military order, when the city is broken, you must capture Dao Ra and other rebel culprits, but those who resist in the rebel army will be killed!" But even if the soldiers broke the city, they also ordered the generals of the various departments to restrain the people and horses of the residence department, and Hugh took the opportunity to plunder the cattle, sheep and horses, gold, silver and satin of the people in the city, whether it was my Khitan Erlang, or the Han people, the Xi people... Even the Bohai residents in the city are also the people under the rule of my Great Liao. Now the situation in Tokyo Province is in chaos, and there are enough people who have been robbed by bandits and soldiers, and now what I need most in Daliao is to rest and recuperate, and I can't afford to endure the war anymore......"

Xiao Si first heard and praised Yeluchun for his kindness and generosity to the people, but after only a moment, he said to Yeluchun again: "There is still one thing to tell Your Highness, according to the three teams of blockers and horses who attacked the counties and towns east of Kaizhou, they reported that when they were chasing a group of scattered and fleeing Bohai rebels, they rushed to the border of the Yalu River, but they ran into another group of men and horses to annihilate all the remnants of the rebels.

Later, Tanma Tan heard that Zhuang Town, which was ruled by Baozhou on the bank of the Yalu River, was occupied by a leader who was born in a Khitan horizontal tent and called Yilacheng. It seems that the leader of the Han people, Tieli, and Bohai tribes also accepted the displaced people of Liaodong. Although he had nothing to do with the rebels in various places, he and other clan leaders settled the people under the rule of our Great Liao, and they did not obey the assignment of the Northern Court lawsuit. ”

Hearing Xiao Si's first report, Ye Luchun's face sank! It's just a tribal leader, but he took advantage of this chaotic season to divide the land and autonomy on the border of the Liao State? It seems that in addition to the rebels who raised anti-flags from all walks of life, there are still many thieves who want to take advantage of the fire to rob! However, since the king led the army to Tokyo Province, he has never heard of the name of Yilacheng, if he also wants to gather people to rebel, but he only guards a corner of Baozhou to accept refugees from all walks of life, really think that he can resist my Daliao army coming to Jingping Liaodong?

...... What the hell is this guy trying to do?
