Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 417: Encountered the Khitan

At the moment, hundreds of Song Army soldiers had rushed out at the gate of Yanjing City. They came to Zhao Chen and knelt down.

These are the soldiers who entered the city of Yanjing before, and now they are the defenders here.

In addition to them, a young man of about twenty years old came to Zhao Chen with a surprise smile on his face, and said: "Weichen Hu Quan, see your Majesty!"

"How is it? How is the situation in Yanjing City now?" Zhao Chen was also very happy when he saw Hu Quan and smiled.

"Your Majesty, it's not very good." Hu Quan's expression became serious, said.

"Go, let's go to the city, just leave and talk." Zhao Chen said.

At present, Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen, Zhang Xian, Hu Quan and others entered the city of Yanjing under the embrace of the army.

After entering the city of Yanjing, Zhao Chen discovered that the roads of the city of Yanjing are very spacious, far better than Hanzhong and Lin'an! Even Chang'an City does not have such a wide road!

The people of Liao Kingdom have been operating in Yanjing City for more than two hundred years. They were the largest country in East Asia for two hundred years. This is a companion capital. It is built with the power of one country. It naturally surpasses Hanzhong, Lin'an and other places! As for Chang'an, many places have been destroyed after countless wars. Chang'an has been rebuilt several times. It is no longer what it looked like during the Tang Dynasty, so it can't compare to this place.

They walked forward on the avenue, and there was a quiet area around them, no other noises were heard, and no one was coming.

There are countless shops on the street, but these shops are now closed and no one enters or exits.

"What's going on?" Zhao Chen asked with some surprise.

"Your Majesty, the Khitan people tried to rebel and killed people in Yanjing city two days ago. Therefore, the people of Yanjing city have been hiding at home these days and dare not come out." Hu Quan said.

"Where are the Khitan people who rebelled?" Zhao Chen said.

"All have been killed!" Hu Quan said.

"Are things like this common?" Zhao Chen said.

"Weichen has been in Yanjing City for more than three months. In more than three months, there have been several times a month! We have a limited number of soldiers and horses in the 16th prefecture of Yanyun, and we can only guard important strongholds. Although the scale of the Khitan rebellion is limited, it takes a long time to pacify each time, and each time it causes great damage! Your Majesty, the Weichen is incompetent and unable to completely settle the Sixteenth State of Yanyun." Hu Quan was a little ashamed. Tao.

"This is not a question of your ability, but rather the elimination of the Jurchens of the Central Plains. Whether it is the Military Aircraft Department or the General Staff Headquarters or the control of the various military forces, the eyes are on the 200,000 Jurchens, and hundreds of thousands of troops are distributed in the Central Plains. We There is no time to deal with Yan Yun's affairs! But now, we have taken out our hands. Two hundred thousand Jurchens have been destroyed. We will have more than one hundred thousand troops entering Yan Yun. If Yan Yun has any clowns, we will all be annihilated." Zhao Chen said.

"That's great! In fact, in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, the number of our Han people is several times that of the Khitans, but the Hans here have been ruled by the Khitans for two hundred years, and we are afraid of the Khitans! Even if we come here , The Han people in Yanyun are still timid and still afraid of the Khitan people! If the Han people in the 16th prefectures of Yanyun are willing to support us, we will not be afraid of the Khitan even if there is no army coming." Hu Quan said.

"The reason why the Han people in Yanyun flinched is because our Da Song's performance over the past two hundred years was so bad, and our Da Song couldn't give them any confidence! This time I come here, naturally, I will give them confidence! "Zhao Chen said.

Hu Quan nodded.

"Liu Aiqing, you used to stay behind as Yanjing. Come and tell me about the situation in Yanjing city." Zhao Chen looked at a tall middle-aged man beside him and said.

This middle-aged man was Liu Yanzong who had stayed behind in Yanjing, who had already taken refuge in the Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the entire Yanjing city is divided into three parts, namely the imperial city, the inner city, and the outer city! The imperial city is where the emperor lives. After the Jurchen invasion, all the royal families of the Liao Kingdom came to the city of Yanjing, where they lived. The inner city was the place where the Khitan nobles lived, but after the Jurchens occupied Yanjing City, most of the Khitan nobles were killed. The place was already empty! The outer city was where some Khitan civilians and our Han people lived. ! In the entire Yanjing city, the number of Khitans is actually more than that of our Han. Of course, in other places in Yanyun Sixteen Prefecture, our Hans will surpass the Khitans." Liu Yanzong said.

"Your Majesty, there are Khitan people in the inner city now!" Hu Quan said.

"Didn't it mean that the Khitan nobles have been killed by the Jurchens?" Zhao Chen said in surprise.

The Jurchen people hate the Khitan people most! The main reason why Wanyan Aguda started up at the beginning was that the Khitans were so oppressive and had to raise up! After the establishment of the Great Golden Kingdom, except for some soldiers and horses led by Yelu Dashi to escape, the rest of the Khitan nobles were almost all killed by Wanyan Aguda! After more than a hundred years, the people of Jin continued torturing and destroying the Khitan people, so that in later generations, the Khitan people completely disappeared! So Zhao Chen was surprised at this moment.

"Your Majesty, after we won the city of Yanjing, some Khitan people took the opportunity to come to the inner city. They claimed that the courtyards and houses in the inner city were left by their Khitan people and should belong to them! Now there are no more in the inner city. There are few Khitans! In fact, when we first came to Yanjing City, there were some Khitans who wanted to enter the palace, but we were driven out." Hu Quan said.

"We occupied the city of Yanjing, and those houses without an owner naturally belonged to the imperial court! These people will naturally be driven out from the inner city!" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"But in this way, will the Khitan be angered?" Hu Quan said.

"Enraged the Qidan? Why is the Yanyun sixteen states unstable? The main reason is that the Khitan people look down on us Han people! Over the past two hundred years, we have failed in front of the Khitan people too many times. Even Taizu and Taizong have also failed in front of the Khitan people. Even if we defeated Jurchen and occupied the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, the Khitan people still underestimated our Han people! The weaker we are, the more arrogant the Khitan people, the more they disobey our rule, the more they will rebel! So, Only by severe suppression can the Khitan people surrender!" Zhao Chen said.

Hu Quan immediately pondered for a long time before nodding.

Everyone rode their horses on the avenues of Yanjing City, and almost no figures were seen along the way.

The area of ​​Yanjing City was so huge that it took a full quarter of an hour before they entered the scope of the inner city.

After entering here, Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen and others suddenly discovered that this place is completely different from the outer city!

The buildings here are magnificent and there are many tall houses, but more importantly, there are many people on the road here, and many Khitan people are active here!

Seeing Zhao Chen and the others arrived, those Khitan people were not afraid, but looked at this side happily.

Seeing that Zhao Chen's clothing was different, the Khitanese showed some surprised eyes, but still more disdain.

Seeing such a sight, Zhao Chen couldn't help frowning.

He ignored these Khitans, but moved on.

However, just a few steps away, a dozen Khitan boys suddenly blocked the road.

The dozens of Khitan teenagers were there yelling non-stop.

"What are they talking about?" Zhao Chen said, pointing to the front.

He didn't understand Khitan, so he could only ask the person next to him.

"Your Majesty, they said that Yanyun Sixteen Prefecture is the territory of the Khitan people, let us Han people get out of Yanyun Sixteen Prefecture, and..." Yu Yunwen who was next to him suddenly stopped, with a hesitant look on his face.

"What else? Say it!" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"They asked your Majesty if you were the Emperor of Song Dynasty. They said... that you should dismount your horse and kneel down in front of the Khitan people, so that the Khitan people will spare your life. They said that we Han people are born slaves of the Khitan people. Make cattle and horses for the Khitan people, for the Khitan people to rule." Yu Yunwen said in a very low voice.

There was no expression on Zhao Chen's face, only a murderous look in his eyes.

More than a dozen Khitan teenagers over there also pointed at Zhao Chen from time to time, and laughed mockingly from time to time.

"These people dare to insult me, what should be the crime?" Zhao Chen said lightly for a long time.

"Your Majesty, this is a sin of disrespect, and should be executed according to the law!" Zhang Xian walked up from behind and said coldly.
