Chapter 357 Xiao Yanyan and Han Derang, a rare couple of politicians

Something unexpected happened.

Cao Bin was unable to restrain the generals under his command.The gathering of famous generals of the Eastern Route Army has become the bane of defeat.

The [-] Song army carried five days of food and rushed to Zhuozhou again.

At this time, Empress Dowager Xiao, Han Derang and others set up an imperial camp fifty miles east of Zhuozhou. When they heard that the Song army was coming to attack, they sent Yeluxiu brother light soldiers to stop the Song army.

The Song army marched north while facing the Liao army.

It took four days in a row to kill Zhuozhou city.

However, something funny happened.The Song army ran out of food again.

Although Zhuozhou was captured, they still couldn't hold on, so they had to abandon it again.

Seeing that the soldiers of Song Dynasty were exhausted and lacked food and water, Xiao Yanyan seized this opportunity.

He sent Brother Yeluxiu to chase and kill them all the way, and in the end the Song army was defeated, and the [-] battle-hardened imperial guards lost more than [-] people.Less than [-] people fled into Song Dynasty.

After the Liao army cleaned up the battlefield, Brother Yeluxiu "collected the corpses of the Song army as a Beijing watch".Xiao Yanyan was overjoyed, and enfeoffed Brother Yeluxiu as the king of Song Dynasty to perform the ceremony of rebirth, and brother Yeluxiu also became a unique subject in the history of the Liao Kingdom to perform the ceremony of rebirth.

After defeating the Eastern Route Army, Yelu Xiezhen and Yelu Xiuge led the army to the west to face the other two Song armies.

In the end, despite two minor defeats in the middle, Tian Zhongjin finally returned to the Song Dynasty safely.

The West Route Army was wronged by the supervisor Wang Yan, and the famous general Yang Ye was captured by the Liao Army, and finally starved to death unyielding.

So far, the Song Army's three Northern Expeditions have all been defeated, and all the recovered states and counties have been lost. 】

[Zhao Guangyi's Northern Expedition caused heavy losses to the strong imperial guards who swept across the world, and some generals were even shattered. Since then, the Song people have no strength for the Northern Expedition. 】

【Xiao Yanyan's victory pushed her fame in the Liao Kingdom to its peak.

After returning to Beijing, Xiao Yanyan summoned all the officials, held a wedding banquet in Han Derang's tent, and invited the officials to have a good time.

Since then, Xiao Yanyan and Han Derang have become an upright couple.

But before the wedding banquet, Xiao Yanyan poisoned Han Derang's wife.

Since then, Han Derang has become the most powerful and powerful figure in the Liao Kingdom.

In 998 A.D., Han Derang was given the surname Yelu, and he was granted the title of King of Jin, ranking above the princes of Khitan.

The Jinwang Mansion where he lived was completely modeled on the Khitan Palace.

Since then, the Han family, which was taken captive by Yelu Abaoji to the Northern Kingdom, has suddenly become the Khitan royal family.

Because Han Derang has no heirs, Xiao Yanyan specially stipulated that each generation of the Khitan royal family must contribute a prince to be Han Derang's heir. 】

[In 1004 AD, Xiao Yanyan, Han Derang, Liao Shengzong and others led 20 Khitan cavalry to the south in an attempt to capture Bianliang in one fell swoop.

The Liao army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, but within two months, it reached the city of Chanzhou, only one distance away from Bianliang by the Yellow River. 】

[Compared to the Kingdom of Jin more than a hundred years later, Xiao Yanyan obviously lacked a little bit of luck.

Although Song Zhenzong and many civil and military ministers were frightened, they planned to move their capital to Jinling.But the famous minister Kou Zhun resolutely resisted, and he dragged Song Zhenzong to Chanzhou City by his arm.

Song Zhenzong's "Personal Conquest by the Royal Driver" greatly boosted the morale of the Song army.Song armies from all over the country also rushed to help, and tens of 10 horses were soon assembled.

Xiao Dalin, a general of the Liao Kingdom, was shot and killed by the Song army with a bed crossbow when he was inspecting the terrain under the city.

The Liao army defeated the generals before the battle, and the morale was suddenly low.

Although Xiao Yanyan really wanted to avenge Xiao Darin, she was a mature politician after all. After careful consideration, she decided to negotiate a peace with Da Song. 】

[In the end, the Liao and Song Dynasties reached an alliance of Chanyuan, and the two sides were about brothers. Yelu Longxu, the emperor of the Liao Dynasty, called Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng his brother, and Zhao Heng called Xiao Yanyan his aunt; the old border between Song and Liao was maintained.The State of Song provided 30 gold and silk to the State of Liao every year.

The two sides ended years of unremitting war and entered into a relative peace that lasted for more than a hundred years. 】

[In November 1009 AD, Xiao Yanyan returned the imperial power to Yelu Longxu, ended her 57-year regency career, and planned to spend her later years in Nanjing.On the way to the south, Xiao Yanyan contracted a cold and eventually died at the age of [-]. 】

[Two years after Xiao Yanyan's death, Han Derang also died of illness.Emperor Shengzong of Liao carried out a state funeral for Han Derang and buried him next to Xiao Yanyan's mausoleum.Since then, Han Derang has also become the only Han Chinese and courtier buried in the Daliao Emperor's Mausoleum. 】

After the text inventory is completed, the next step is the video about Xiao Yanyan's life.

However, other places are flashbacks, and the focus is on Xiao Yanyan's unrestricted favorite with Han Derang.

The political reform presided over by Xiao Yanyan and Han Derang pursues legal justice, murder for life,
However, Han Derang killed the Khitan royal Yeluhu Gushengsheng who was rude to him in front of all the officials in the court.

Xiao Yanyan closed her eyes, pretending not to see.

When other royal families forced Xiao Yanyan to punish Han Derang, Xiao Yanyan said calmly,

"Yeluhu Gu dared to be disrespectful to Prime Minister Han, and being killed with a stick is already taking advantage of him."

A few months later, Han Derang played polo with a group of Khitan nobles.

Hu Lishi charged with his horse and knocked Han Derang off his horse.

This is also common on the polo field.

However, Xiao Yanyan immediately ordered someone to cut off Hu Lishi's head to apologize for Han Derang.

After these two incidents happened, the Khitan nobles finally understood that Han Derang was something they couldn't afford to mess with.

When the Chanyuan alliance was negotiated, Song envoy Cao Li went to Liaoying to discuss peace.

After entering the Liao camp, he found Xiao Yanyan and Han Derang sharing a car, sitting side by side.Yelulongxu, the emperor of the Liao Dynasty, called Han Derang Ji's father during his conversation, without any resentment at all.

The last video is when Han Derang was seriously ill.At this time, Xiao Yanyan had passed away for two years.Han Derang also relinquished all power.

However, Yelu Longxu still treated him as his father, without neglecting at all.He took Han Derang into the palace, and led all the princes to serve Han Derang like his sons, and the empress Xiao Bodhisattva even personally served the decoction.

It can be seen that Yelu Longxu and Han Derang really have the same love as father and son, and the relationship between them is not affected by imperial power and time at all.

Of course, the only thing Yelu Longxu didn't satisfy Han Derang and his mother Xiao Yanyan's request was that they didn't allow them to be buried together.

The video inventory is also over here.Li Hao began to comment.

[A closer look at history shows that Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi's first Northern Expedition was actually very likely to be successful.

If Han Derang surrendered in Kaesong after receiving Song Taizong's surrender letter, the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures would be taken back by Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi in the first battle.

Zhao Guangyi will also become a great emperor comparable to or even surpassed Li Shimin.

However, Han Derang did not surrender.He didn't even think about surrendering.
