Jixian City.

Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu, walking side by side on the streets of Jixian, surrounded by people, as lively as ever.

The people who come and go on the streets, the hawkers on both sides, and even the officials patrolling the city, their appearance and dress are no different from the officials and citizens of the Great Song Dynasty.

Because the vast majority of the population in Jixian City are Han Chinese.

Even the entire Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, as the homeland of the Han family, are mostly Han people.

However, these Han people all regarded themselves as Liao people, and even lived and worked peacefully under the rule of the Liao State, and lived better than many people in the Great Song Dynasty.

This is not that the Han people in Jixian and other places are traitors, in fact, their ancestors, when Emperor Taizong of Song Yongxi went on the Northern Expedition, still cherished the motherland.

At that time, Yan Yungang was not long after being ceded out by Shi Jingyu.

In order to return to his homeland, Yanyun’s Han’er enthusiastically rose up in response to Emperor Taizong of Song’s Yongxi Northern Expedition.

However, Zhao Guangyi, the emperor, was too useless, commanded indiscriminately, was shot in the ass by an arrow from the Liao, and fled in a donkey cart in fear.

Not only did the elite forbidden army of the Northern Expedition suffer heavy losses, but even those Yandi Han people who responded to the Northern Expedition were betrayed by Zhao Guangyi.

Afterwards, the Yandi Han people who started the incident were almost completely purged by the Liao Kingdom!

Yandi’s hot-blooded Han’er’s blood, in that time, almost drained!

Everything is just because the emperor of Zhao Song is too incompetent!

Moreover, later, the Liao State also reused Han people as officials, and established the system of southern courts and northern courts.

With the Liao State as the northern courtyard, the Khitan system, and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun as the southern courtyard, the Han system.

After reusing the talented officials of the Han people, treating the Han people kindly, and even the alliance of the tanyuan, the Liao state, because it could get 200,000 guan yuan from the Northern Song Dynasty every year, specially took out 40,000 guan to offset Yanyun’s taxes, reducing the burden on the Yanyun Han people.

Therefore, Hermes-Epitek gradually returned to his heart.

Even one hundred and fifty years have passed, eight or nine generations have passed, and many Yandi Han’er were born only knowing that the Liao State was their mother country, and regarded the Great Song Dynasty of the Central Plains as a neighboring country.

Even Sun Sheng, the Duke of Jinyunlong, was born in Jixian and grew up under the rule of the Liao State, and only later traveled around the world and arrived in the Great Song Dynasty.

All this cannot be blamed on these Yanyun’s Han’er, but only on the Zhao Family Emperor and the Zhao Song Dynasty in the Central Plains, who once failed Yandi Han’er and made Han’er shed blood and tears!

“The people of Jixian have a better life than the people of the Great Song!

The city is prosperous and not weaker than Youzhou.

To capture the city this time, it is necessary to be as fast as possible, it is best to take a complete Jixian City for the Lord without bloodshed! ”

After entering the city separately, Yang Xiong, Shixiu, Sun Sheng, Pei Xuan, and others gathered in a courtyard to discuss together.

Before that, they had already separately touched the arming and situation in Jixian City.

“The Khitan army in Jixian was all transferred by the general of the Liao State, Yelu Dashi, to the north to defend against the Jurchens.

Today, there are only more than a thousand Han troops in the city.

Because the Northern Expedition army of the Great Song Dynasty was defeated by the Liao army not long ago, the Liao people believed that the Great Song did not dare to go north in a short period of time, so the defense of Jixian was not strict.

The people lived as usual, the city gates were open as usual, and woodcutters, farmers and merchants were able to enter and exit freely. ”

“So, it gave us a chance.

The lord with the army, at this moment, is not far from Jizhou.

If we take advantage of the cover of night and take the city gate, then more than 1,000 Han troops in Jixian City, seeing that the general trend has passed, will not resist. ”

“I am an old acquaintance with the prefect of Jixian, and knowing who he is, I will not die for the Liao people.

When we control the city gate, we can let him come forward to pacify the soldiers and civilians in the city, and we can take Jixian without bloodshed!” ”

Yang Xionggong Sun Sheng and other seven generals, after careful deliberation, determined a specific plan of action, and sent a few soldiers in disguise to go out of the city to deliver a letter to Chai Hao and agree on a time.

It was night, and Jixian City was quiet.

Yang Xiong and seven other generals, with hundreds of elite soldiers, quietly approached the south gate of Jixian.

Here, there were only a hundred and ten Han troops keeping vigil.

Moreover, the officer who led the team was still an old acquaintance of Yang Xiongshi Xiu, Zhang Bao.

Zhang Baoben is a Jizhou soldier, born and raised, nicknamed Kick and Kill Sheep.

Because he was dissatisfied with Yang Xiong, a person who moved from abroad, he became a red man in front of the prefect in Jixian City, and was also rewarded with some brocade, so he went to rob it with a group of pouring soldiers.

Yang Xiong fought with Zhang Bao and others, desperately Shi Xiu saw the unevenness, and also rushed to help Zhang Bao.

Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu also got to know each other.

At this moment, looking at the defeated generals of his former subordinates, Yang Xiongshi Xiu did not directly kill him, but said to Zhang Bao: “Zhang Bao, the Liao Kingdom is already over, do you want to die or live!” ”

Although Zhang Bao is a splash, but he is not a fool, when he saw Yang Xiong and hundreds of other people surrounded the city gate with great momentum, where could he not understand the situation?

Although I don’t know which force Yang Xiong belongs to for the time being, everyone with discerning eyes can see that the Liao Kingdom is indeed about to end.

Otherwise, it would not be possible that even the hundreds of Khitan local soldiers in Jixian City were all transferred away by Yelu Dashi.

What’s more, there are only a hundred and ten people under him, while Yang Xiong and others have hundreds of imposing strong men, even if they fight, they can’t stop it, but they will lose their lives in vain!

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Bao threw down his weapon, and at the same time, the military men behind him also threw their weapons with a clanging and knelt down.

Yang Xiong and the others opened the city gate at the first time and raised a fire at the city gate.

Secretly outside the city, Chai Hao saw the signal and immediately smiled: “Yang Xiong, they have succeeded, enter the city!” ”

As a result, the main force of Chai Hao’s Sixth Army poured into Jixian City like a tide.

In the city, when the prefect of Jixian learned the news, the entire city was crowded with Chai Hao’s army.

Although the confused prefect of Jixian did not know where Chai Hao and these horses were killed, they saw that the general trend had passed, and immediately surrendered.

The rest of the defenders in the city even abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

However, overnight, the strategically important city of Jixian changed hands and was taken by Chai Hao’s soldiers without bloodshed.

It is a real soldier without a bloody blade, the process of occupying Jixian, both the offensive and defensive sides, not a trace of blood has been shed!

Soon, this news was like a wing, first to the ears of Tong Guan, who was recuperating in Xiongzhou, Hebei Road, and then to the ears of Zhao He, the emperor of the Great Song in Bianliang, which immediately made this pair of great Song monarchs anxious!

The anti-thief Chai Hao actually went north under the banner of recovering Yanyun!

And in the first battle, he took the big city of Jixian without bloodshed!

It’s one step away from Youzhou!

Is this worth it?

If Chai Hao really recovered Yan Yun, wouldn’t it even more set off the incompetence of Zhao Yao, the emperor?

And Tong Guan, the old eunuch’s wish to be crowned king, is also about to be shattered!

Therefore, Zhao He immediately ordered Tong Guan, let him quickly order the soldiers and horses, and the second Northern Expedition, must not let the merit of recovering Yanyun be won by Chai Hao!

And after Tong Guan got the order, he also ordered the first time to start, and the second time the Northern Expedition began non-stop….

At the same time, this time the general sent by Zhao He to Tong Guan is the “famous general of the Western Army” of the generation of generals – Liu Yanqing!
