Chapter 31 The fourth quarter Zhao Yanshou No. 2

Zhao Yanshou's emperor's dream was shattered, but at that time, all the towns and cities held heavy troops and were ready to move, and everyone wanted to become addicted to the emperor.So another character like Zhao Yanshou appeared, so who is this person? Once Zhao Yanshou died, Shi Chonggui would be less of a scourge, and he himself had no fault of morality. It should be said that the later Jin's throne should be secure, and the Khitan would not send troops to beat him.Unfortunately, another Zhao Yanshou No. 2 came out at this time-Du Chongwei, a general of the later Jin Dynasty.

After Zhao Yanshou was imprisoned, the Khitan lost an excellent vanguard and guide. If they marched into the Central Plains in the future, they would really need a Zhao Yanshou-like figure, because he knew the customs, customs, and strategic locations of the Central Plains very well. There was no such a person. Man, it's not enough to fight.At this time, Du Chongwei jumped out and secretly communicated with Khitan about the song.After Shi Chonggui is destroyed, as long as you make me emperor, I am willing to give you more favorable conditions than Shi Chonggui.Shi Chonggui is because you beat him, he calls you grandpa, but if you don't beat him, he won't call you anymore, I'm because you don't recognize me as your grandson, I'm in a hurry with you!Liao Taizong was lured by Du Chongwei and sent troops to attack the Later Jin Dynasty again.

In fact, regardless of Shi Chonggui or Du Chongwei, everyone is the same. Why did Liao Taizong fight Shi Chonggui for Du Chongwei?Perhaps Emperor Taizong really wanted to be the Lord of the Central Plains at this time.It's too unfree on the grassland. It's almost forty, and the political power is still in the hands of Queen Shulu, who is constrained everywhere. If he can be the master of the Central Plains, he can get rid of the shadow of Queen Shulu.Therefore, Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty led the army to the south this time, making preparations for the demise of the later Jin Dynasty.

Seeing that his grandfather was coming again, Shi Chonggui had no choice but to send Du Chongwei, who had secretly communicated with the Khitan, to lead an army of 300,000 north to meet the Khitan.Du Chongwei deliberately abused his soldiers along the way, and only marched when it was raining and the ground was muddy.When the weather is good, the sun is shining brightly, the road is dry, sleep in the open, and dry the quilt!Coupled with the embezzlement of the soldiers' rations, the soldiers fled every day.A company is missing today, and a battalion is missing tomorrow.After he was stationed at the front line, Du Chongwei drank all day long, did not train the soldiers, and he didn't care if the soldiers fled.What is the purpose of doing this?He thought that if I voluntarily surrendered to Khitan, I would inevitably be like Shi Jingtang and be infamous through the ages, so I couldn't do that.So what to do?I forced my soldiers to flee, and in the end I was a bare-handed commander, how could I resist?I want to resist, can I defeat the Khitan's 100,000 troops alone?Khitan knew his situation very well, and he secretly passed the song.So as soon as the Khitan sent troops to fight, Du Chongwei immediately surrendered.It's not that I didn't want to resist, but that I was unable to resist, and all my soldiers ran away (indeed, it may be that the court's food and pay were insufficient).Of course, the 300,000 army was originally an imaginary number, and at this time it was empty and empty. I don't know how many people were left, and they all surrendered to Khitan.

As soon as Du Chongwei surrendered, Emperor Taizong fulfilled his promise and asked Du Chongwei to put on a yellow robe and go to the surrender, doing the same thing as Zhao Yanshou did back then.You go to comfort your pawns and tell your pawns not to rebel.When Du Chongwei heard this, he couldn't wait to put on his yellow robe and came to the barracks.These soldiers were originally brought out by him, and they were very happy to see him as the emperor.It has only been a few years since Zhao Yanshou did this, Du Chongwei did it again, and both of them were played by Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang.It is understandable to say that Zhao Yanshou was played, Zhao Yanshou was played once, and Du Chongwei was also played?It would be very interesting if these two people met and talked to each other about how they felt about wearing the yellow robe.How did you feel when you wore it?Ouch, I feel the same way.Unexpectedly, they were all fooled by Yelu Deguang.

When Du Chongwei's 300,000 troops were disarmed, Shi Chonggui could no longer resist, and the elite troops were gone. Once the Khitan army arrived, Shi Chonggui had no choice but to capture him without a fight, and the Khitan army invaded Kaifeng. At this time, Du Chongwei came to look for Yelu Deguang.It's time for you to fulfill your promise. The 300,000 people of mine didn't resist, and surrendered. I also put on the yellow robe, and you let me show off. I have to be the emperor, right?Emperor Taizong sneered, "I plan to govern the Central Plains myself. If I can be the lord of the grassland, I will be the lord of the Central Plains."Someone, take off his yellow robe and send him wherever he should go.In the end, Du Chongwei ended up in the same situation as Zhao Yanshou, remembering to eat but not to fight.Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang prepared himself to be the emperor of the Central Plains.

The Khitan army entered Kaifeng and destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty. Taizong Yelu Deguang held a grand enthronement ceremony in Kaifeng to succeed the emperor.This year was 947 A.D. Khitan officially changed its country name to Liao, then changed it back to Khitan in 983, and changed its name to Liao again in 1066.Khitan and Liao, the name of the country has changed back and forth, we will collectively call it Liao.Because there is only "History of Liao" in "Twenty-Four Histories", there is no history of Khitan. In this way, Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang became the lord of the Central Plains. He continued to use the "one country, two systems" approach in the Han area of ​​the Central Plains.Among civil and military officials, Khitan people wear Khitan official uniforms, and Han people wear Han official uniforms.Emperor Taizong himself was the emperor in the Han area. In order to show respect for the Central Plains, he wore Han costumes.
