It is said that Yelu Zhangnu led more than 2,000 rebels, and after escaping from Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, they were in panic all day long and fled all the way to the southeast.
Along the way, there were scattered and defeated Liao troops who were defeated by the Jin army. Seeing this, Yelv Zhangnu wanted to gather these defeated soldiers to increase his own strength. Therefore, Yelv Zhangnu issued a notice. In the announcement, Yelv Zhangnu fully committed the sins of Emperor Tianzuo and described his rebellious behavior as extremely noble, in order to seduce and win over the Liao army who had retreated from the battlefield.
The stragglers and defeated generals along the way were all routed from the battlefield. These stragglers and defeated generals had heard about Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi's extravagant lust, debauchery and cruelty, drunkenness and music addiction, and credit and slander. Once Yelv Zhangnu encouraged him, they gathered under Yelv Zhangnu's banner. In the blink of an eye, Yelv Zhangnu's rebels gathered more than 50,000 people.
Looking at the more than 50,000 soldiers and horses gathered under his banner, Yelv Zhangnu became more courageous, so he led the gathered more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to the southeast, and captured Liao Zu and Qing in one fell swoop. state.
Both Zuzhou and Qingzhou were the places where Khitan kings were established, and there were temples of the Yelu clan. Zuzhou, in particular, is the place where Emperor Taizu Yelu Abaoji arose, and the Taizu Temple is located here.
After capturing Zuzhou, Yelvzhangnu prepared the sacrifices and took some of his entourage to the Taizu Temple.
Yelvzhangnu entered the Taizu Temple, knelt down in front of the Taizu statue, and cried loudly.
Yelu Zhangnu was crying while explaining his rebellious behavior to the statue of Taizu Yelu Abaoji. Yelu Zhangnu cried and said: "Emperor Taizu is here, please listen to what Zhang Nu has to say. Emperor Taizu! I miss you in the Liao Dynasty. It started in Shuoye, and the soldiers and armor were in full bloom. The drums marched outside Hao, sweeping across Heshuo and trees. How powerful was the establishment of the Han Dynasty in the Jin Dynasty? In the past, Taizu and Taizong took advantage of hundreds of battles to organize the newly created state, and they were wise and wise. Since the Holy Emperor, they have cultivated politics internally and expanded the territory externally, and then established the country. Good neighbors and safe borders. The Liao Dynasty has maintained its foundation for more than 200 years, and it has come naturally. Taizu! God does not bless the Liao Dynasty. From Jiangshan Sheji to Tianzuo, it is not only the end of Ding Dynasty, but also the hope of others. , Believe in traitors and sycophants, since they are the foundation of the country, the people are alienated, and each has his own conspiracy. It is not easy to think of the ancestors and diligently govern the country; however, the gods are prolonging the year, they are addicted to drinking and music, and they are all in vain. They repudiate the loyal and good people. , appointing a group of young people. Living things near and far are all subject to harsh governance. They refuse to be remonstrated and pretend to be wrong, and they indulge in extravagance and lust. They wander around in the countryside, indulge in debauchery and indulgence, which leads to resentment and resentment."
When Yelv Zhangnu spoke of his grief and indignation, he grabbed the ground with his head and burst into tears.
Yelv Zhangnu continued to cry: "Taizu, it's not Zhang Nu who is unfilial to heaven and earth and has selfish motives. It's actually the Jurchens who are taking advantage of the opportunity to attack. The country of Liao's country is in danger! Under such circumstances, Zhang Nu's heart is as sharp as a knife. , heartbroken, Zhang Nu had no choice but to raise troops to resist the Jurchens for the sake of the country and the country of Liao, and secondly to choose another wise master to save Daliao from danger."
In the middle of the Taizu Temple, Yelu Zhangnu knelt down and cried under the statue of Yelu Abaoji. Taizu Yelu Abaoji sat upright on the plastic platform and remained silent.
It was originally a sculpture! How can I move my voice? Yelv Zhangnu’s statement was nothing more than telling it to himself to find reasons for his rebellion!
In the Taizu Temple, Yelu Zhangnu finished paying homage to Yelu Abaoji, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, and gave the people a noble feeling that heaven had sent him a great responsibility. Immediately, Yelv Zhangnu got up and left the Taizu Temple. He was filled with grief and anger, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.
After the roar, Yelv Zhangnu seemed to feel much more at ease, and was no longer so panicked. Instead, he said impassionedly to his rebels: "Dear Khitan warriors, Tianzuo has no way to lead the country to fall, so that the Jurchens can rise. Nowadays, the Jurchens have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Daliao, attacked cities and captured territory, and are quite powerful. Now, if we want to save the country, we must overthrow Tianzuo; otherwise, our Daliao soldiers can only watch the country decline. Now, The armies listened to my orders and immediately moved south quickly to capture Shangjing, overthrow Tian Zuo, revive Chao Gang, and prepare their forces to face the Jurchens."
Yelu Zhangnu's impassioned words inspired the spirit of his rebel soldiers again.
The rebel soldiers raised their swords and guns high in the air and shouted in unison: "Follow the general, go south to Beijing, overthrow Tian Zuo, revive Chao Gang, and fight against the Jurchens!"
Seeing the excitement among his soldiers, Yelu Zhangnu suddenly became full of pride. He got on his horse and shouted: "Khitan warriors, go to Beijing and set off!"
After finishing the call, Yelv Zhangnu took the lead and led more than 50,000 troops to gallop towards Linhuang Mansion in Beijing.
Along the way, the rebels led by Yelu Zhangnu were arrogant, shouting loudly, and the dust brought up by the galloping horses covered the sky and the earth, making them appear huge.
At this time, Emperor Tianzuo was camping in Guangpingdian with his followers, holding bows, quivers on their backs, and holding sea greens, capturing wild geese, and shooting sika deer, green sheep, hares and other prey.
In the court of Linhuang Mansion in Beijing, the one who stayed behind was King Yelv Chun of Wei, who Yelu Zhangnu was preparing to become emperor privately.
Yelu Chun was shocked when he learned that Yelu Zhangnu had led his troops to attack Shangjing again. At this time, Yelu Chun had been reprimanded by Yelu Yanxi who had returned to Beijing, and he no longer dared to think anything wrong. He suddenly heard that Yelu Zhangnu was once again leading his troops to kill. Without any hesitation, he hurriedly sent his generals. Yelumu'er led 30,000 soldiers and horses to ambush on the road. When Yelu Zhangnu arrived, he intercepted and killed them.
Yelu Chun settled down with Yelu Mu'er and said, "This time you lead the troops to intercept and kill Zhang Nu, you must not let that guy come over, otherwise we will not be able to give an account to His Majesty the Emperor."
Yelumu'er bowed his head and replied: "Please don't worry, King Wei. My nephew is going to lead the troops this time. If the traitor general Yelu Zhangnu doesn't come, let's stop. If that guy comes without knowing whether he is alive or not, my nephew will definitely behead him and bring him back." Return your message to King Wei."
Yelu Chun said repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! Go quickly and intercept Yelu Zhangnu. Don't let him enter Shangjing."
After receiving the order, Yelumu'er said goodbye and left the main hall. He ordered 30,000 troops and horses in the east school field, galloped out of the capital, and set up an ambush at the place where Yelu Zhangnu must pass.
After Yelumu'er led his troops to set off, Yelu Chun was worried that Yelumu'er would not be able to defeat Yelu Zhangnu. If Yelu Zhangnu broke through the ambush and attacked Shangjing, the trouble would be big, so he hurriedly mobilized troops and horses to strengthen Shangjing and Linhuangfu City. Defend.
Just in case, to clear up the relationship, Yelu Chun sent his clan member Yelu Hun to Guangpingdian to report to Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, to be on guard against Yelu Zhangnu's attack on the capital and his failure to attack the capital, so he turned to attack Yelu Yanxi's camp in Guangpingdian. .
Yeluhun received the order and galloped all the way to Guangpingdian to report the news to Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi.
At this moment, Yelu Zhangnu led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, galloping all the way, looking towards Linhuang Mansion in Beijing and rushing towards them.
As the orthodox soldiers of Yelu Zhangnu were marching, in the valleys on both sides of the road, suddenly war drums were beating, colorful flags were fluttering, and many soldiers and horses came out, with swords and guns raised, and they shouted loudly: "Kill! Don't let the traitor Zhang Nu escape. Got it!"
When Yelv Zhangnu saw this, he was shocked. He hurriedly reined in his horse and looked around. He saw countless Liao troops coming over the mountains and plains. One of the generals at the head rushed over on horseback, holding a pair of hammers in his hands and shouting: : "Rebel Zhang Nu, the army is here, and if you don't dismount and be captured, when will you wait?!"
The general who came was none other than Yelv Mul'er, and on Yelv Chun's order, he set up an ambush here to stop Yelv Zhangnu.
Yelumur is very powerful in martial arts, he is accustomed to wielding a pair of hammers, and he has the courage that no man can match.
Yelu Mul'er rode his horse and came to kill Yelu Zhangnu.
Yelu Zhangnu knew that he could not fight Yelu Mu'er, so he shouted: "No!" He quickly turned the horse's head, hit the horse and fled.
When Yelumur saw this, he shouted: "Where are you running!" He galloped after him.
The rebels under Yelu Zhangnu were in chaos when they saw their commander fleeing. They also fled in all directions without any fighting spirit.
The Liao troops on both sides took advantage of the situation and charged in, using guns and knives to attack, killing and wounding most of the rebel soldiers.
The rebels could not resist and fled in a hurry.
The Liao army chased after them, attacking with guns and knives along the way. The rebels were killed and wounded countless more.
Yeluzhangnu didn't care much, so he beat his horse and fled for more than thirty miles. When he heard that there was no movement behind him, he pulled the reins of the horse and stopped it. He gasped for air, looked back and saw that there was no pursuer behind him. Chase.
At this moment, Yelu Zhangnu was alone, so sad that he couldn't help crying loudly.
Yelu Zhangnu cried and cried: "Emperor Taizu! It's not Zhang Nu who is unfaithful and unfilial, but the situation is really critical. Emperor Tianzuo indulges in drinking and music, and is desolate. The country is in danger! Emperor Taizu forgives Zhang Nu for his rebellion. Zhang Nu will swear to die for the country and fight to the death to save Daliao."
Yelu Zhangnu was feeling sad when deserters came back one after another. Yelv Zhangnu suppressed his sorrow and ordered his troops again. He had less than 5,000 men and horses.
Yelu Zhangnu thought to himself that with the current number of troops, it was impossible to attack Shangjing. It would be better to abandon Shangjing and directly attack Yelu Yanxi's camp in Guangpingdian.
Yelu Zhangnu's idea is that Yelu Yanxi is hunting there at this time and he doesn't have many soldiers and horses. It is better to take advantage of his negligence and attack him unprepared and capture Yelu Yanxi directly. In that case, the court will be leaderless, so I will As a king, I am not afraid that others will not listen to my orders.
After thinking about it like this, Yelv Zhangnu was secretly happy and said to his soldiers: "Soldiers, if you want to be rich and powerful, you have to take great risks. As far as I know, Emperor Tianzuo is currently in Guangpingdian. We don’t have many soldiers for hunting, so why don’t the soldiers follow me and directly attack Guangpingdian. If we capture Yelu Yanxi, Daliao will be our Daliao. At that time, everyone can ride on any horse and serve as a senior official. Do."
When they heard about the sneak attack on Guangpingdian and the capture of Emperor Tianzuo, who could ride any horse and serve as a high-ranking official, the rebel soldiers became excited again and shouted loudly: "Okay, we will follow the general and attack Guangpingdian." , captured Emperor Tian Zuo, he can be ridden on any horse, and he can be a high-ranking official, and he is a good person who will give him a hard time!"
Yelu Zhangnu rode on his horse and shouted loudly: "Okay! Let's go! Direction to Guangpingdian!"
Yelv Zhangnu then galloped away to Guangpingdian with five thousand soldiers and horses to capture Tianzha Emperor Yelu Yanxi who was hunting there.
Previously, Yelu Yanxi, who was hunting in Guangpingdian, saw Yeluhun galloping towards him alone. Just as he was puzzled, Yeluhun got off his horse, knelt down in front of Yelu Yanxi, and reported urgently: "Your Majesty, things are going badly. , Yelv Zhangnu gathered the rebels and attacked Shangjing; King Wei had sent Yelumu'er to lead his troops to intercept. King Wei was afraid that Yelvzhangnu would not be able to attack Shangjing, so he instead came to sneak attack the camp in Guangpingdian, threatening the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, so he specially sent me here Report to His Majesty the Emperor."
