Yelu Yanxi, who was hunting, was furious when he heard the news. He hurriedly summoned 20,000 troops and horses from nearby places. Without waiting for Yelu Zhangnu to attack him, he took these troops and horses and looked east to meet the leader of Yelu Zhangnu. of rebels.

Yelu Yanxi was galloping with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and unexpectedly wanted to meet the Yelu Zhangnu rebels who came to attack Guangpingdian head-on.

When Emperor Tianzuo saw Yelv Zhangnu's rebels, he was furious and led 20,000 soldiers and horses to gallop towards Yelv Zhangnu.

Yeluzhangnu originally wanted to take advantage of Emperor Tianzuo's hunting. He did not bring many soldiers and horses, and he was unprepared. He caught Emperor Tianzuo off guard, so that he could capture Emperor Tianzuo and use this to command the world. However, what Yelv Zhangnu never expected was that Emperor Tian Zuo not only made preparations in advance, but also came with more than 20,000 troops to conquer him.

Yelv Zhangnu, who was riding a horse and leading the rebels, was galloping towards the camp of Emperor Tianzha Yelu Yanxi in Guangpingdian. Suddenly he met Emperor Tianzuo and was shocked. He was suddenly frightened and trembled all over.

Yelu Yanxi roared: "Kill!"

The Liao army heard the order and rushed to kill them. Immediately, Yelu Zhangnu's rebels were defeated.

Emperor Tianzha Yelu Yanxi was very good at fighting. Yelu Yanxi, who was in a rage, raised his long hand and urged his horse to pursue him. After a while, he caught up with Yelu Zhangnu.

When Yelu Zhangnu saw Yelu Yanxi chasing after him, he was greatly frightened.

When Yelu Yanxi saw Yelu Zhangnu, he was so angry that he trembled all over. He immediately pointed at Yelu Zhangnu and cursed: "Damn it, Zhang Nu, how dare you rebel against me! You man, you made a mistake in my request for gold last time, and now you have done it again." It's abominable to come and attack my camp! Watch me kill you, a traitor!"

After scolding Yelu Yanxi, he rushed in on horseback and wanted to kill Yelu Zhangnu.

Yelv Zhangnu was shocked. He hurriedly turned the horse's head, slapped the horse's butt, and fled again, completely ignoring his men and horses.

Many of the rebels under Yelu Zhangnu were with their families. They couldn't care about that many at the moment, so they had no choice but to run away.

Yelu Yanxi led his troops to pursue him.

In order to escape for his life, Yelv Zhangnu tried his best to escape, but he actually escaped without a trace.

Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzhu failed to pursue Yelu Zhangnu, so he had to lead his troops back to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing.

Most of Yelu Zhangnu's men were killed, and a few of them were able to escape.

Yelv Zhangnu ordered more troops, and the number of his soldiers and their families was less than a thousand.

Seeing that Yelu Zhangnu could no longer gain a foothold in the Liao territory, he took nearly a thousand men, horses and their families and fled overnight to the Shunguo tribe of the Jurchens, where they stationed themselves.

On the second day, Yelvzhangnu, who fled into the Jurchen territory, had just prepared breakfast, but before he could eat it, he was discovered by people from the Jurchen Shunguo tribe and hurriedly reported it to the leader of the Shunguo tribe, Aqian.

After Wanyan Aguda established the Jin Kingdom, these tribes came under the jurisdiction of the Jin Kingdom; Wanyan Aguda also sent orders to each tribe, requiring each tribe to strictly guard the border and beware of Khitan crossing the border.

After receiving the report, A'u'an, the leader of the Jurchen Shun Kingdom tribe, did not dare to relax and hurriedly organized the tribe's troops to surround and kill Yeluzhang Nu.

Yelv Zhangnu fled all night. He was exhausted, hungry, and had not had time to eat the freshly cooked meal. He had no strength to resist the Jurchen tribe's encirclement. Therefore, Yelv Zhangnu abandoned his tent and marching pot and fled in a hurry. .

The soldiers of the Jurchen Shun tribe followed closely and killed hundreds of Yelvzhangnu rebels. Many of the family members of the Yelvzhangnu rebels were also captured by the Jurchens.

Yelv Zhangnu had no choice but to re-enter the Liao territory in panic. Looking at his men, there were less than a hundred people.

Yelv Zhangnu, who was at the end of his rope, felt so sad that he started to cry.

Yelv Zhangnu was crying when his subordinates reported: "No, there are officers and soldiers coming over!"

When Yelv Zhangnu heard the news, he couldn't bear to cry. When he hurriedly looked up, he was surrounded by hundreds of officers and soldiers.

It turned out that where Yelv Zhangnu fled, there happened to be a Liao army patrolling. Seeing more than a hundred people from the Jurchen tribe entering the country, the patrolling soldier thought that the Jurchens were invading the country and hurried over. Only when they got there did they realize that they were a group of Liao soldiers, and they surrounded them.

Yelvzhangnu led less than a hundred soldiers. After being repeatedly chased and killed for several days, he had already lost his fighting spirit. Now he saw that the people surrounding him were not Jurchens but the imperial army, so he made no resistance and surrendered. .

Yelv Zhangnu was lonely and helpless. Seeing that the situation was over, he had no choice but to surrender and let the patrolling Liao soldiers take charge.

The officers and soldiers patrolling the Liao State escorted Yelu Zhangnu and less than a hundred rebels under him back to the military camp where they were stationed, and handed them over to their superiors for disposal.

The officer guarding the camp was named Xiao Dechang. He had more than a thousand soldiers and horses under his command, and he was dedicated to defending the Jurchen Shunguo tribe.

When Xiao Dechang saw soldiers escorting a group of Liao troops into the camp, he was very puzzled as to why his own people were escorted in. When the patrolling soldiers escorted Yelv Zhangnu to the front, Xiao Dechang took another look and saw that the person escorted at the front was Yelv Zhangnu, a well-known rebel general from the royal clan.

Xiao Dechang was overjoyed and said to himself: Now it's better! Finally, a big guy was caught. This was a good opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune. Wouldn't it be a great achievement if the thief Yelu Zhangnu was taken to Beijing and handed over to the imperial court? ! It’s time to get promoted and make a fortune! .

Surprised, Xiao Dechang treated Yelv Zhangnu well and prepared to escort him to the capital after he had eaten and drank enough to ask for credit and reward from the imperial court.

Yelu Zhangnu thought that Xiao Dechang was also sympathetic and inclined to him, so he started to use his old tricks again. He cried to Xiao Dechang with tears streaming down his face and told Xiao Dechang about all the crimes committed by Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi, and mobilized Xiao Dechang to join him in the rebellion and overthrow Emperor Tianzhao. The reign of Yelu Yanxi.

When Xiao Dechang heard this, he just smiled and said nothing.

Xiao Dechang thought to himself, you have tens of thousands of people who rebelled, but none of them succeeded. Now there are only a hundred or ten people left, but you deceive me into being fooled. Am I a fool? Then, follow me to Beijing later, and tell His Majesty the Emperor what you told me.

So, after Yelv Zhangnu had eaten and drank enough, Xiao Dechang personally escorted him to Beijing.

Xiao Dechang left all the other rebels in the camp, incorporated them into his own troops, led more than a hundred soldiers, and escorted only Yelv Zhangnu alone, left the camp, and headed to Linhuang Mansion in Beijing.

Xiao Dechang was escorting Yelu Zhangnu on the way to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, when he suddenly saw several people riding horses in the distance, galloping towards him.

Xiao Dechang hurriedly ordered his men: "Go and see who the person is? He's been intercepted. Let me capture the future!"

After hearing the order, more than a dozen soldiers rushed over, intercepted and captured several people who were coming on horseback, and escorted them to Xiao Dechang.

Xiao Dechang recognized it. The visitor was Yelumu Zhe, the governor of Jingzhou, and several of his personal followers.

When Xiao Dechang saw Yelumuzhe, he was very surprised. He quickly asked the soldiers to let go of Yelumuzhe, and asked curiously: "Where are you going, Lord Governor? Why are you here in person? I don't know what you are doing?"

Yelumuzhe said: "I heard that General Zhang Nu rebelled against the Liao Dynasty, and I came here to join General Zhang Nu. I never thought that General Zhang Nu had been arrested by you."

Xiao Dechang laughed when he heard this. After laughing, Xiao Dechang said to Yelumuze: "Master Governor, please go back to Jingzhou Mansion quickly, so that I can be your governor! You have met me this time, and I will pretend that I don't know about it." That’s right, if you meet someone else, wouldn’t you just fall into a trap?”

Hearing this, Yelumu said honestly: "General Dechang, don't laugh. What I said is the truth, not a joke. Please also ask the general to arrest me too. I will go with General Zhang Nu. Anyway, we are big The Liao Dynasty will eventually be destroyed at the hands of Yelu Yanxi, die early and get relief early."

When Xiao Dechang heard this, he was helpless, so he asked the soldiers to tie up Yelumu and drove Yelumu's followers back.

It turned out that when Yelv Zhangnu heard that Yelv Zhangnu was rebelling in Tokyo, his blood boiled. He hurriedly brought several followers to respond to Yelv Zhangnu's rebellion. He never thought that Yelv Zhangnu's rebellion failed and was captured, and he himself fell into the trap.

After driving away several of Yelumu Zhe's followers, Xiao Dechang ordered the soldiers to escort Yelu Zhangnu and Yelu Muzhe.

Xiao Dechang and his party traveled day and night, and rushed to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing two days later. They took Yelu Zhangnu and Yelu Mu to the palace and handed them over to the Liao court, where they were handled by Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi.

Yelu Yanxi hated Yeluzhangnu so much that he beheaded Yeluzhangnu in the waist, dug out Yeluzhangnu's heart, and offered it as a sacrifice to the ancestral temple. He dismembered Yeluzhangnu's body and hung it on the five roads for public display.

Yelu Yanxi didn't hate Yelumu because he was from the same clan after all. However, what puzzled Emperor Tianzuo was why Yelumu gave up his post as governor and defected to Yeluzhangnu with a few of his followers. In response to Yelu Zhangnu’s rebellion?

So Emperor Tianzuo asked Yelumu: "You and I are from the same clan and have no enmity with you, and I have appointed you as the governor of Jingzhou. Why do you ignore a good governor and do you have to rebel?!"

Seeing Yelu Yanxi's question, Yelumu replied angrily: "It is true that you and I are from the same clan, and there is no enmity between you and me. However, the world is in chaos, the dynasty is filled with treacherous officials, the virtuous are frustrated, and the dynasty is corrupted. I I can't bear to see the foundation that Taizu created so hard is in your hands, otherwise I will see the country and the country fall apart. That's why I did this heartbreaking behavior. It's not for my own personal gain. Therefore, I no longer miss that good governor."

Hearing this, Yelu Yanxi felt guilty, and said to Yelumu: "I have made mistakes, and I have realized them, and I must correct them. However, your rebellion against the imperial court is a serious crime and you should be executed according to the law. Keep in mind You have no selfish intentions, and you are a member of the clan, so I will spare you for once, and quickly return to your Jingzhou, so that you can guard the city god without any loss."

Yelumu did not accept Yelu Yanxi's sentiments, but cursed loudly: "You foolish king! The foundation created by our ancestors will be destroyed in your hands. When the time comes, the country will be destroyed and people will be destroyed. How can I face it?" What about Jingzhou Governor? I don’t want you to show mercy, just kill me too!”

Yelu Yanxi heard this and was speechless for a long time. He waved his hand and ordered Yelu Mu to be taken out and beheaded.

There were soldiers guarding one side long ago, who escorted Yelumu out of the hall and beheaded him in public.

At this time, the Jurchens, led by the great emperor Wanyan Aguda, were actively preparing to attack Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom. Emperor Tianzha was also mobilizing troops to prepare for the war with the Jin Kingdom, which Wanyan Agu was fighting.

Yelu Yanxi's plan was to send envoys to the Kingdom of Jin first to prepare to recognize the Kingdom of Jin and negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Jin. If the peace negotiation succeeds, it will naturally be good, and they can accumulate strength and look for opportunities to destroy the Jurchens; if the peace negotiation fails, it will also delay time, which will help the court mobilize troops and horses to face Dajin.

This time coincides with Emperor Tianzha's birthday. The Liao court decided to make a big move, firstly to remove the bad luck, and secondly to boost the morale of the Liao army.

In order to celebrate his birthday, Emperor Tianzha invited the Southern Dynasty. The purpose was to establish friendly relations with the Southern Dynasty so that he would not be attacked by the Southern Dynasty during the war with the Jin Kingdom.
