Han Kuangsi hurriedly shouted: "You are wronged, Your Majesty is wronged! My subordinates are loyal to me, the Khitan, and have never had two ambitions."
Yelujing didn't believe a word of it.
People have a strange paranoid mentality. They can tolerate the viciousness of their opponents, but cannot accept the betrayal of those around them.
Yelujing did not dare to put too much emphasis on the Khitan nobles because he was not in the right position.
Therefore, special attention is paid to Han Kuangsi, a Khitanized Han.
The decision to go south this time was only made after Han Kuangsi's strong persuasion.
Along the way, Yelujing had great trust in Han Kuangsi, always thinking that he was a loyal dog, but in the end he turned out to be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!
This lifelong hatred has given vent to everything.
All of Han Kuangsi's actions, no matter whether they were well intentioned or not, were so suspicious.
The purpose of persuading him to go south was to defeat the Central Plains and shake his prestige.
The reason why he was advised to actively fight was because he had secretly communicated with Luo Youdu.
Even the loss of herds, Yelujing felt that it was caused by Han Kuangsi leaking the secret. Otherwise, how could the Central Plains be so accurate? The strange soldiers marched straight in to attack the herds?
Even when Han Kuangsi went to the toilet, Yelujing felt that he was sending a message to the Central Plains.
Everything was caused by Han Kuangsi.
The Khitan had not suffered such a serious defeat for a long time, and Yelujing did not know how to give an explanation to the various ministries in the country.
The incident of Han Kuangsi happened as a matter of course and logically.
Han Kuangsi, a scholar who was no match for Yelv Chong, pinned him to the ground, stepped on his chest with one foot, opened his mouth with the other hand, and poured the juice from the poison hemlock root into Han Kuangsi's mouth.
Han Kuangsi still resisted at first, but as the juice choked into his lungs, he gradually lost the power to resist and allowed himself to be manipulated.
Han Kuangsi curled up on the ground and rolled around, with cramps all over his body, his skin was red, his face was blue, his breathing was rapid, and his internal organs were in turmoil.
Yelujing and Yeluchong turned a blind eye to this.
Yelu Chong said: "How should Yelu Xiyin deal with it?"
Yelujing couldn't help but laugh out loud: "He's just a fool, go and capture him. He is an accomplice, so I will naturally spare his life generously."
Yelu Jing's target from the beginning was not Yelu Xiyin, but Yelu Lihu, who was nominally the most qualified Khitan to inherit the throne and was in Zuzhou.
Regardless of whether Yelu Lihu knew his son's plan or not, there was a letter captured by Yelu Chong.
Yelu Lihu is not dead, he is dead.
Not the mastermind, but also the mastermind.
Yelujing said: "You hang Han Kuangsi first and pretend that he committed suicide out of fear of crime. After doing all this, go to get Yelu Xiyin. Finally, write a letter and send it to your brother immediately, so that he can comfort Han Kuangsi.
My family. Thinking of Han Zhongshu's achievements, I will not involve his family. I just want to put Mr. Han under house arrest in the government office to facilitate the capture of Yelu Xiyin. I have no intention of harming his life. I don't want him to harm his family. I don't want him to harm his family.
It’s over…”
Yelv Chong's elder brother is called Yelu Wuzhi. He has experienced four Khitan dynasties and is an all-rounder with both literary and military skills. He is currently the second most powerful person in Khitan, second only to the emperor.
Yelujing asked Han Kuangsi to commit suicide, which was a step forward for the Han family.
The Han family has great prestige in Khitan and is the spiritual leader of the Khitan Han people.
Most of the current Khitan national policy system was customized by Han Kuangsi's father, Han Zhigu.
Han Zhigu was very prolific and had eleven sons, some of whom held high positions in the Khitan. If he really wanted to wield the butcher's knife and punish the Han family one by one, the Khitan would definitely be in chaos.
The Han family must be given a step up.
If it hadn't been for such a disastrous defeat this time, Han Kuangsi would have had to die.
Yelujing didn't want to take action against Han Kuangsi.
Historically, Yelujing forgave Han Kuangsi, but demoted him to a commoner.
But this time, Han Kuangsi did not die, which was not enough for the people to be angry. But they could not die in his hands, so hanging himself in fear of crime became the best option.
Unless the Han family wants to destroy everything, they have to admit it even if they don't admit it.
Not only the people of the Central Plains like to fight among themselves, but also the Khitan people use various methods to fight among themselves.
Although the emperor Yelujing had made no achievements externally, he was never at a disadvantage in the political arena in the face of various uneasy factors in Khitan.
However, in just one hour, Yelujing completed Han Kuangsi's "suicide", captured Yelu Xiyin, Yelu Haisi, and Xiao Daqian, and neatly killed a rebellion in the middle of the plan.
The most important thing is that the mastermind has become Yelu Jing's closest confidant. The most qualified to inherit the throne was given to Yelu Lihu who was under house arrest in Zuzhou.
When Luo Youdu got Yelujing to resolve the internal turmoil in Khitan, it was already early in the evening.
Luo Youdu held the lamp and read the secret letter in his hand, but when he read that Han Kuangsi committed suicide, he felt happy.
Regardless of whether this is due to his estrangement or not, this kind of ruthless person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals will die early and be reborn, leaving the world with nothing more than a waste of food and air.
Luo Youdu rolled the secret letter into a ball, suddenly jumped up, put on his coat and walked out of the bedroom, shouting: "Send the order, the front office of the palace, the bodyguards and the military division will gather at the north gate!"
An hour later, all the soldiers and generals were "yawning" in the wilderness with dark eyes.
Luo Youdu also washed his face several times to stay awake.
He didn't explain anything and simply marched overnight until he reached Shunzhou City and set up camp twenty miles south.
Then he ordered people to guard the camp and rest on the spot.
In the battle of Sanggan River, Luo Youdu had already proven himself. Although this setback seemed inexplicable, no one dared to say anything.
What they didn't know was that this simple movement made the Khitan Emperor Yelujing have a restless night.
Drinking wine, reading books, and thinking about how to be the emperor more firmly are Yelujing's favorite things to do.
How valuable is evening time?
It's not worth using it for sleeping.
I was accustomed to staying up late, but suddenly I got news from the scouts about the large-scale march north from the Central Plains. My interest in staying up all night suddenly disappeared, and my heart pounded suddenly.
Now is not the time to fight against the Central Plains.
Yelu Xiyin is also the Khitan King of Zhao, the grandson of Yelu Abaoji, Yelu Haisi, and Xiao Dagan are all Khitan clan members, and there is also a Han family. They are either rebelling or colluding with the Central Plains. Each crime is more serious than the other, and military morale is inevitable.
The ground was shaken.
The Khitan, whose morale was already low due to the great defeat, encountered this situation again.
If a soldier has no fighting spirit, he will surely suffer losses in a fight.
After a night of panic, I saw that the Zhou army was just camping in the south of Shunzhou City and had no intention of a decisive battle.
Suddenly, Yelujing understood what Luo Youdu meant.
If you don't get out, I'm going to start a fight.
Yelujing looked at the Central Plains soldiers with high morale, and glanced at the Pishi army beside him, which everyone wanted to return to.
"Withdraw!"
Yelujing knew that if he continued to waste time, forcefully harvest a wave of wheat before leaving, he would really get beaten.
