Chapter 396: Han Derang's Descendants

Khitan, originated in the bitter cold land of Northeast China, successively attached to the Tang Dynasty, the Later Turkic Khanate, swaying and between the Saiwai and the Central Plains, and finally attached to the Hui, until Yelu Abaoji was born, unified the Khitan tribes, and in 916 A.D., the capital was set in Beijing Linhuang Mansion, and officially ascended the throne as the emperor, with the country name "Khitan".

The savages who came out of the bitter cold land were salivating for the prosperity of the Central Plains, especially after Shi Jingjiao cut the state for help, and the war was the best cradle of famous generals, Han Derang, Xiao Tianzuo, Yelu Xianzhen and others were born one after another, and they were out of control for more than 100 years, and launched frequent attacks on the Central Plains for more than 100 years, causing countless good generals in the Central Plains to break their halberds and spill blood in the sky.

Even so, the Khitan soldiers and horses often crossed the border, plundering the Han people, property, grain and grass, and made an alliance as the victorious party, and even looked down on the Central Plains to the extreme.

However, since ancient times, there is a wise saying in the world, called "rich but three generations", like the Khitan and other people who started by plundering and building the country explosively, when they do not need large-scale conquests, it is easy to be corrupted by luxurious life, especially when it comes to the "Tianzuo Emperor" Yelu Yanxi is in power, this atmosphere is even more extreme, you do not see the Khitan Palace, rockeries and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, endless carved beams and paintings, endless magnificence, compared to the later Forbidden City, I am afraid that it is not too much.

Today's Khitan, the national strength and combat power can be said to have fallen to the freezing point since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so that when facing the Jurchens, they have lost consecutive battles, not to mention the loss of land and humiliation of the country, and it has made the domestic nobles panic, to this point, Yelu Yanxi finally has a trace of the Khitan heroic and strong nature, and intends to fight with the Jurchens all the elites of the Khitan, but they can't withstand the persuasion of Yelu Dashi and Wu Yanguang and other important ministers, so they agreed to transfer ninety percent of the elite from all over the country, with a total of 700,000 elite soldiers. It is necessary to completely strangle the Jurchens.

"Whoosh", the silence of the wilderness was broken by the sound of an arrow breaking through the air, and soon a terrible scream was heard, and a knight could be seen falling from his horse in the distance.

"Good archery!" Du Bai, who has always shown himself with a cold face, couldn't help but give Pang Wanchun a thumbs up when he saw such an amazing arrow, you must know that this Khitan is a nation that grew up on horseback, and it is bent on escaping, at a distance of more than one hundred and fifty steps, what kind of difficulty will it be to kill with one arrow, at least Du Yan asked himself if he couldn't do it.

The corners of Pang Wanchun's mouth raised a slight arc, and it could be seen that he was also very satisfied with his arrow, after all, after experiencing the bumps of the sea ship and spitting up, he could still have such a level, which was enough to make him proud, I saw that he secretly loosened his hand holding the bow, smiled bitterly in his heart, and returned the salute with a fist to Du Bao, "Brother Du praised it falsely, but he sat on the sea boat, so Pang is still a little top-heavy, but this arrow is a bit lucky..."

Du Yan listened, his face also showed a look of fear, nodded and said: "But this is the case, Du is not the first time to take a boat, I thought it would be a big deal, I don't want the wind and waves at sea to be big, far more than Du imagined, if you can in the future, this sea boat is better to sit less..." I'm afraid that this Khitan people will also be suspicious, and in my opinion, we should march as soon as possible. ”

Pang Wanchun put up a canopy in his hand, looked up at the sun in the sky, nodded and said: "Brother Du's words are very true, the lord only gave us a total of two days, before tomorrow, you and I must rush to the outside of Jizhou City, if there is a poor pool...... Pang Wanchun's face flashed a wry smile, "I'm afraid that you and I can only watch other brothers make contributions in the future..."

Seeing other people's achievements, he can only sit and defend the city, which is unacceptable to Du Yan and Pang Wanchun, at this time, Wei He came to report, saying that the battlefield was cleaned up, Du Bai glanced at Pang Wanchun, and saw that his eyes were full of strong fighting spirit, so he made a move with the dragon and tiger golden spear in his hand, and shouted: "Target Jizhou, continue to march!" I rushed out first, and soon drowned the group in the flying dust at the sound of rumbling horses' hooves.

The defender of Jizhou is Han Yao, the descendant of Han Derang, a famous Khitan minister, if you really want to talk about it, this Han Derang's Han family is Yang Zhi's real enemy, it is precisely because of the existence of this person that the eight members of the Yang family, including Yang Ye, were defeated and sunk in the Yanyun battlefield.

And the Han family is because of Han Derang, in the Khitan is a steady progress, a rise in the rise, and finally to the point of resting with the country, can be described as a favor, but since Han Derang's death, his descendants are not as good as the generation, all of them are some wine bags and rice bags and the like, originally the position of the Jizhou Taishou should have belonged to the protector general Qiong Demon Nayan, but this Han Yao didn't know what to do, he actually got the approval of Yelu Yanxi, and was crowned as the Jizhou Taishou during the court meeting. But after Han Yao made a meritorious service to the founding of the country, with the strength of the two of them, how could he be able to defeat those nobles of the DPRK and China, so he had to swallow such a bitter fruit.

This Han Yao is a well-known gentleman in Beijing, if it is said that he walks dogs and cockfights and walks around the kiln, he is so familiar that he can't be more familiar, but when it comes to governing the state capital, where will he do this, only a few months after he has been in office, it will be a good Jizhou, making it a miasma, and complaining.

But in spite of this, among those large and small officials, there are still loyal people, Zhang Xiong, the deputy general in the city, is the younger brother of Zhang Qi, the general in the hands of Wu Yanguang, every day has the habit of counting the number of people entering and leaving each city gate and counting the number of people in and out of the barracks, this day he still counted the number of people entering and leaving the city gates as usual, only felt that the people who entered the city, compared with the past, it was more than thirty percent, although there was some strange in his heart, but he did not take it to heart, but when he inspected the barracks and counted the number of people, he found that there were more than 100 people less, I couldn't help but be furious, and hurriedly ordered someone to call the officer on duty, and after asking, I learned that these people went out of the city to fight the grass valley, and they have not returned yet.

If you want to go to the grass valley and not return for a day or two, this is a common thing, because this duty officer did not take it seriously, but for some reason, Zhang Xiong felt a strong crisis in it, and suddenly thought of the surge in the number of people entering the city today, "Isn't it that Jurchen thief who surrounded and killed our army's soldiers who fought in the grass valley outside the city?" ”

Zhang Xiong, who came to this conclusion in his heart, couldn't help but be surprised, and had the intention to order the soldiers to immediately go out of the city to search for their whereabouts, but he knew that without Han Yao's order, he couldn't even command a soldier, so he could only stomp his feet in hatred, turn over and run towards the Taishou Mansion.

When he arrived at the Taishou Mansion, Han Yao was drinking and having fun there with two beautiful women in his arms, and when he saw Zhang Xiong coming in in a military uniform, he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he finally knew that he couldn't do without Zhang Xiong, and said lukewarmly to Zhang Xiong at the moment: "Vice General Zhang, why did you come to the Taishou Mansion so late?" ”

Zhang Xiong took a step forward, hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the number of people entering the city has increased sharply during the day today, and there are still more than 100 soldiers of our army who have gone out to fight Caogu, and there are still more than 100 soldiers who have not returned. ”

After hearing this, Han Yao couldn't help but be stunned, then laughed, waved his hand nonchalantly, and said: "It is said that you Deputy General Zhang has a lot of heart, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation, what happened to the many people entering the city, but it didn't send us money, when they went out of the city, they could just charge an extra tax for going out of the city, what happened if they didn't come back from the grass valley, I think that when our soldiers went out of the city to fight the grass valley, which one didn't go to three or five days, it's only one day's work, ......what is it?"

Zhang Xiong couldn't help but be anxious, "My lord, you must be on guard, you must know that my Khitan is not as good as it used to be now......"

"Smack", Han Yao's face sank, he looked at the wine glass on the table for a while, pointed at Zhang Xiong and shouted: "Zhang Xiong, you have heard clearly, Lao Tzu is the Taishou of Jizhou, Lao Tzu is not your turn to do things, now you will get out of Lao Tzu immediately!" ”

"Adult ......"

"Get out!"

Zhang Xiong was helpless, so he could only glance at Han Yao and leave angrily.

Han Yao smacked at Zhang Xiong's back, muttering, "What!" There was a lewd look on her face again, and her hands swam around Mei Ji's body, "Beauty, let's continue..."
