Chapter 77: The Wrath of the Khitans

An error occurred while processing s private files
Month. The Xingqing Prefecture of Xixia also had a debate on whether to help the Khitans rebuild the Great Liao.
In fact, the Khitans had very little hope for rebuilding Liao. There was no need for the Xixia people to argue about this. The reason for the debate was the continuation of the conflict between Han and Borussia. Chage believed that to ensure that the Xixia had to join forces with the Jin people to attack and kill Li Hu. This was a strategy of active defense. The Han ministers led by Xue Yuan believed that the most urgent task of Xixia was to restore national strength and adopt a passive defense strategy. Therefore, they had to form an alliance with Li Hu and rely on Li Hu to alleviate the threat of the Song and Jin countries to the Xixia. At the same time, they allied with the Song and Jin countries. Rely on their force to curb Li Hu's threat to Xixia.
After hearing that Yelu Yanxi fled to Xixia, the Jin people sent people to Xingqing Prefecture several times and asked Xixia to hand over Yelu Yanxi. Otherwise, the Jin army would help Li Hu attack Xixia. This threat was too serious. Cha Ge had to consider its possibility. But Xue Yuanli stubbornly believed that the Song Dynasty was unstable now. Bian Jing needed Li Hu to garrison the North to restrain the Jin and Xia countries. Therefore, Li Hu could not attack Xixia. Therefore, he suggested that the emperor send Yelu Yanxi to the desert as soon as possible. He would not be able to summon trouble.
Emperor Li Ganshun hesitated. He thought that the words of Brother Cha made sense. Xue Yuanli’s guess was reasonable and it was difficult to make a decision for the time being.
Just then, the people of Yelu Ma Ge went to Xixia to ask Yelu Yanxi to go to the desert. Yelu Yanxi was overjoyed when he heard the news and said goodbye hurriedly. Li Ganshun couldn't keep it.
In desperation, Chage sent someone to report to Zonghan secretly and told the Jin people about Yelu Yanxi's route to the north of the desert and the Hei River of Yelu Mage's army. He told Zonghan in his letter. As agreed, I gave you Yelu Yanxi and I also told you the hidden points of Yelu Mage and the Khitan army. If you catch Yelu Yanxi and kill Yelu Mage and the Khitan army, you must keep your promise and attack Daibei.

Cha Ge thought he was doing everything seamlessly. But it was too difficult to hide secrets in this world. Li Ganshun quickly found out that he urgently summoned Cha Ge and asked about this matter. Cha Ge argued with reason and believed that his strategy was completely correct. Dangxiang people were in the northwest for 85 years. What did they rely on? It was war, it was active defense strategy, and it was passive defense. They would have been swallowed up by the enemy long ago.
"Do you believe in the Jurchens so much?" Li Ganshun asked Li Hu's relationship with the Khitans in recent years in order to prevent women from conquering the desert. He helped the Khitans rebuild the Liao Dynasty several times. If he knew that we betrayed Yelu Yanxi to women, let the last glimmer of hope of the Khitans be destroyed. Do you know what the consequences are?"
"The consequences are simple. The Jurchens will attack Daibei immediately." Cha Ge was very confident. He, Li Ganshun, analyzed the situation in detail. Li Hu is now the most hindrance of the Jin Dynasty conquering the desert. The Jin Dynasty must beat him. However, the Song Dynasty is now unstable and unable to take care of itself. He is unable to support Hulie Mansion. Therefore, this spring should be the best opportunity for the Jin Dynasty to attack Li Hu.
"We have joined forces with the Jurchens. We are fighting with the east and west. Li Hu can only defend Datong in the end. Li Hu and Zong Han have both suffered losses. The benefits to Xixia are self-evident."
At this moment, the wood had already been completed and Li Ganshun had no choice but to pray that Yelu Yanxi would be successful and escape the disaster successfully.
Yelu Yanxi is Li Ganshun's father-in-law. Jin and Xia have a decades-long alliance. It is reasonable and Ganshun should not betray Lu Yanshun, but the love has happened and Richard Brother is now in great power. Li Ganshun can only sigh.

Ganshun's personal eunuch heard the argument between the emperor and Richard.
This eunuch once benefited from the empress, and the daughter of Princess Cheng'an of the Great Liao Dynasty, Yelu Yanxi. The eunuch secretly told Princess Cheng'an that the news was shocked and didn't know what to do. The eunuch followed the emperor and knew a lot. He suggested that Princess An immediately send someone to Daibei Newspaper. After Li Hu heard the news, he would definitely rescue him with all his might. At present, only Li Hu would provide help.
Princess Cheng'an had no relatives in Xixia, so she had to turn to the eunuch for help again.
The eunuch told Princess Cheng'an that the young minister of Taichang Fan Zhichang was about to go to Daibei. Fan Zhichang was a descendant of the famous minister Fan Zhongyan. His grandfather was Fan Chunli, the third son of Fan Zhongyan. More than 20 years ago, the Yuanyou case broke out in the Song Dynasty. Fan Chunli was a member of Yuanyou and was driven out of Bianjing. His descendants were implicated and sent to the border. Fan Zhichang went to the northwest and joined the army. He was captured during the war. The people in the northwest wanted to redeem him with money. The people in the northwest knew about Fan Zhichang's identity and then detained him in Xingqing Prefecture. After the prevalence of Sinology, Fan Zhichang first went to the Imperial College as a professor. Later, with the strong persuasion of Han ministers such as Li Ganshun and Xue Yuanli, he became an official in Xixia.
Ganshun was worried that Fan Zhichang would never return and never let him leave Xingqing. But so many years have passed. Fan Zhichang has been doing his best. And there are many wives, concubines, and children. Li Ganshun also relaxed his vigilance against him. Fan Zhichang's wife is the prince's daughter. She often goes in and out of the palace and has a good relationship with Princess Cheng'an. The eunuch suggested that Princess Cheng'an find an excuse to invite Fan Chang's wife to the palace. Then he asked Fan Zhichang to bring a letter to Li Hu's wife, Khitan Princess Yelu Mingyue.
Princess Cheng'an followed the servant's plan and the news spread.

In the first month of the year, Bianjing issued an order to avoid thieves from Hedong, Hebei and Shandong. All the rebels would go home and plant them well.
Be investigated.
But who believes this? An uprising may be a king, gathering in the mountains and forests, or moving around to fight, and followers gather.
While paying attention to the situation in Hebei, Li Hu also paid attention to the situation in Youyan. Guo Yaoshi has always maintained close contact. However, the situation in You deteriorated very quickly. In the letter, Guo Yaoshi told Li Hu that Youyan might be about to break out in rebellion.
In addition to promoting "changing officials" and "fields" in Youyan, the Song Dynasty also implemented various economic systems of the Song Dynasty. The economic system of the Song Dynasty was largely a levied and levy on the people. Among them, the one that made the Youyan people most angry was "law."
In the late Liao Dynasty, the economic burden of the Youyun Han people was not very heavy. Although they had been away from China for more than a hundred years, there were not many people who crossed the border and fled south. One of the important reasons was that the laws of the Liao Kingdom were simple, salt was cheap, and there were not many servants. Yelu Yanxi became the emperor because he rebelled endlessly. He himself was also debauchery and extravagant. This increased the exploitation of the Yanyun Han people.
After the Song Dynasty recovered Youyan, it did not consider the actual situation. In Youyan, the official salt system was implemented with the same price as the price inside. In the past, the officials in the Song Dynasty were not sympathetic to the people's sentiments. They were greedy for merit and caused trouble. Each pound of salt costs 250 to 280 ounces. This gap is too big. The Han people in Youyan had just escaped from the exploitation of the Khitans. In the blink of an eye, they fell into the exploitation of the Song people. And | Or is it that the more severe it is, who can tolerate it?
While Yanshan Prefecture was instigating the price of salt, it also instigated the people of the Song Dynasty to engage in speculative business. Among them, many wealthy and prominent vendors from Central Plains participated in it, which made the Youyun Han people overwhelmed.
The people are unable to survive and they are suffering more and more. What should I do? Escape. Escape. Escape. Escape. Escape. Pingzhou.
Yunzhong Road is still using many systems of the Great Liao. Especially in terms of taxes and labor service, the conflict between Hu Liefu and Bian Jing has been alleviated. Hu has always refused to implement the Song system in 1 North. This is also an important reason. Pingzhou Road occupied by the Jin people also uses a large system. The lives of the people are much better than in previous years.
Xiangyunzhong Road fled to the relevant mountains and dangerous places. However, Xiangpingzhou Road fled in a short period of time. The Han people in Youyan fled in Pingzhou Road. The population of Yanshan Prefecture suddenly decreased. Bianjing and Yanshan Prefecture did not look for their own reasons. However, they believed that the Han people in Youyan betrayed the Song Dynasty and the Han captives were unreliable. They repeatedly asked Guo Yaoshi to arrest refugees on the border.
Yaoshi Guo was both angry and disappointed. Sometimes he even helped the poor people escape into Pingzhou Road.

The situation in Youyan was obviously not good for the Song Dynasty. If the Jin army went south, Youyan would be very likely to be lost.
Bianjing and Yanshan Prefecture are not in harmony with Guo Yaoshi and his ever-winning army. They are worried that they will not lose their heads. But at the same time, they need them to suppress Youyan. This conflict has led to the increasing conflict between the two sides. The people of Youyan are extremely disappointed. They only hate and have no love for the Song Dynasty. If this continues, the result can be imagined.
Li Hu hopes that the Jin army will go south, but will the Jin army go south before defeating the Tiger Lieutenant Army to capture Daibei? If the Jin army goes south, the main force of the Tiger Lieutenant Mansion is restrained by the Jin army in Datong. Will the Tiger Lieutenant Army still have the strength to go south to Hebei to defeat the Jin army? If the Jin army is allowed to cross the Yellow River and kill Bianjing directly, then Li Hu will be very guilty.
Li Hu was anxious and uneasy, confused and did not dare to make a plan to attack Xixia.

In February, the Western Xia envoy Fan Zhichang arrived and brought a secret letter from the queen.
Li Hu thought it was a greeting between the two princesses Qi. He didn't care. He directly asked someone to give it to Yelu Mingyue. But soon, the letter was delivered to Li Hu again.
The people of Xixia actually betrayed Yelu Yanxi to the Jurchens.
Li Hu was shocked and angry. He was anxious and sued Brother Li Ma. He immediately evacuated Heishui and sent someone to protect Yelu Yanxi.
But it was too late. Zonghan had sent out an army. Wanyan Lou led the main army to kill Heishui.
Yelu Mage was always on guard. He heard that the Jin army was coming and retreated quickly to Yinshan. From Baidao to Yunnei, he sent his confidant general Zhang Rengui to lead 3,000 elite troops to the Langshan area to welcome Yelu Yanxi. Wanyan Loushi gave up chasing Yelu Mage. He concentrated his main force and followed Zhang Gui. He vowed to capture Yelu Yanxi.
Yelu Yanxi and Zhang Rengui were hunted by the Jin army as soon as they met. Zhang Rengui died in a fierce battle. Yelu Yanxi was captured alive. Yan Loushi ended the Liao Dynasty.

In March, Zonghan urgently reported the news of his capture of Lu Yanxi to Huanglong Mansion. He also sent people to report to the desert and the Great Liao Dynasty.
When Li Hu heard the news, he shook his head and sighed. The hope of rebuilding the Great Liao was shattered.
Yelu Mage and the Khitan army cried bitterly when they heard the news. The big ended. Yelu Yan's life and death were uncertain. The Xixia people were the ones who led this result. This former ally betrayed the Khitans and the Khitan Emperor at the last moment.
The Khitans were angry. He could not beat the Jurchens. They were unable to save Yelu Yanxi. But they could vent their anger on the shameless Xixia people.
On March 28, Yelu Mage suddenly commanded the army to enter the front hall and attacked Wulahai, the capital of the Weifu Army in Heishan, Xixia. The Han-Xia War broke out.
