Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

On the open grassland, the sound of horseshoes was unusually clear.

The Khitan team that was marching east was immediately alarmed, and thousands of cavalry came out of the team and headed forward.

The sound of horseshoes in front became clearer and louder, but the cavalry who stepped forward was relieved! Listening to the sound, there are only dozens of people in front, and it is impossible to have too much influence on the marching Khitan team!

The opponent was getting closer and closer to them, and the thousands of cavalry immediately went up to meet them.

"Who are you?" In the dark night, a voice came from the opposite side, and it turned out to be the voice of a Khitan.

The thousands of cavalrymen were already ready to bend their bows and shoot arrows. After hearing the sound, they immediately put down the bows and arrows in their hands, but they still rushed forward.

"Is Lord Yelu Dashi here?" After a while, the voice came from the opposite side again, but this time the Khitan cavalry had surrounded them.

"Who are you?" A reply finally came from among the Khitan cavalry.

"We want to see Da Khan!" The voice on the other side said.

"Who are you guys? If you don't answer, we will launch an attack!" Someone among the Khitan cavalry shouted.

"It's me! Yelu Yilie!" A clear voice came from the opposite side.

"What? Little Prince?" Thousands of Khitan cavalrymen were shocked!

Someone among the Khitan cavalry lit a torch, sure enough the opposite was also Khitan, one of the young men was riding on a horse, his body was a little thin, who was it if it wasn't Yelu Yilie?

"Meet the little prince!" Immediately, there was a voice of "meeting" from among the Khitan cavalry who came forward.

"Where is Father Khan? I want to see him right away!" Yelu Yi said.

"Big Khan is right behind, and now he must have got the news, and he will be here soon!" said a Khitan general.

Yelu Yilie nodded, and immediately rode away with dozens of cavalrymen of his own!

After about a quarter of an hour, he saw the middle-aged Khitan who was galloping with the Khitan cavalry in the afternoon! Seeing the middle-aged Khitan man, Yelu Yilie immediately got off his horse and knelt down on the ground, saying: "My child sees Father Khan!"

It turned out that the middle-aged Khitan was none other than Yelu Dashi, a legendary figure in history! Ten years after the fall of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi led his soldiers and tribes to Central Asia. Now he is known as the "Khitan Khan". Yelu Yilie is the son of Yelu Dashi, so he is called the little prince by the Khitan people.

"Yilie, aren't you in Shangjing? Why are you here?" Yelu Dashi got off his horse, helped Yelu Yilie up, and asked in surprise.

"Father Khan, it's only been two or three years, and you've become much older!" Yelu Yilie looked at his father and said with emotion.

"Did something important happen in Shangjing?" Yelu Dashi asked hastily.

"I am going to report to Father Khan! The Han people defeated the second Jurchen prince Wanyan Zongwang last year, and the 200,000 Jurchen soldiers in the Central Plains were wiped out by the Han people! Two or three months ago, the Han people sent all the soldiers from the whole country to the north, and they were invincible all the way. Invincible, the Jurchens can't compete with them at all! Now the Jurchen grand master and the fourth prince in Zhongjing may have been defeated by the Song army, and the 100,000 Jurchen elite soldiers in Zhongjing will hardly escape! In addition, Mongolia's Hebul Khan and Zhahu Sihan led nearly 200,000 soldiers to the south. In the Fengzhou area, they were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Song troops, and now they have been wiped out by the Song army! The Song army is extremely strong, and we are no match for the Song army, so I left Shangjing. Come here and tell Father Khan to stop going south," Yeluyi said.

"What? Jurchen is so vulnerable to a single blow? The 200,000 Mongolian soldiers were wiped out by the Song army? Is the Song army so powerful now?" Yelu Dashi asked in disbelief.

"The Song army is very strong, very powerful! We witnessed that battle in the south of Fengzhou that day! Under the siege of the Song army, more than 100,000 Mongolian soldiers and horses were all killed if they couldn't last a day. Annihilated! I stood outside that day, thinking in my heart, if the Mongolian soldiers and horses were replaced by my Khitan soldiers and horses, I am afraid that it would be difficult to last for a day." Yeluyi said.

"This is impossible! We have worked hard for the past ten years, and the elite soldiers we have trained are by no means comparable to the Mongols! The Mongols have no organization and no discipline. We are learning from the Jurchen, and we are also commanding the army with ten thousand commanders and thousand commanders! Even if we Surrounded by the Song army, you can fight back!" Yelu Dashi shook his head.

"This...Father Khan is right, but the Song army is really strong now, we really can't continue going south." Yeluyi said.

"Tell me about the scene of the war that day." Yelu Dashi ignored Yelu Yilie and looked at the cavalry behind Yelu Yilie.

"Khan, what we saw that day is that the cavalry of the Song Army is exceptionally elite, and they are by no means inferior to us! Standing outside, I can only feel the momentum of the Song Army. Every soldier in the Song Army is desperately moving forward. No one Back off! The generals of the Song army are also extremely powerful, no matter how much the Mongols charge, they will not be able to get out of their encirclement!" Yeluyi said, a middle-aged man behind him.

"Khan, every soldier in the Song Army is extremely powerful. They all look very strong! They also have a large number of horses, and their riding skills are also very good! I really don't understand. They didn't Cavalry, why did they train such a powerful cavalry in just seven or eight years?" Another person behind Yelu Yilie asked.

"If they fight head-on, can they defeat us?" Yelu Dashi asked.

"Fighting head-on, we may not be their opponents! The Song Army has fought east and west over the years, from Guanshan to Xixia, from Xixia to the Central Plains, and from the Central Plains to the northern grasslands. They have experienced many battles. , Every soldier is experienced in hundreds of battles, and although we have suffered a lot, our soldiers have experienced very few battles. We have fought against the soldiers of the Han people, and we have won less and lost more." Yeluyi Lie said.

Yelu Dashi stood there with a frown, both unbelievable and unbelievable in his heart.

He knew that his son Yelu Yilie, although he looked weak on the surface, was very serious in doing things and observed carefully, Yelu Yilie would never talk nonsense! Moreover, those who followed Yelu Yilie back to the homeland of the Liao Kingdom were all elites under Yelu Dashi, and it was impossible for these people to talk nonsense.

"Khan, we can't go south! The Han people are too strong, much stronger than the original Jurchen! The Jurchen population is limited. Although they have amazing combat power, it is difficult to form a large army, while the Han people have an extremely large population. There is a lot of wealth in the country, and they can easily mobilize hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops this time when they go north! We can defeat the Jurchen, but it is too difficult to defeat the Han people." Yeluyi said behind him .

"When my Daliao was destroyed by the Jurchen, the Han people were still vulnerable. The Song army, whether it was the Western Army or the Forbidden Army, was extremely weak! The Jurchen went south. In only one year, the Han people lost half of their country. Two of the Han people An emperor was also captured by the Jurchens! At that time, Emperor Xuanwu of the Han people was only ten years old, not enough to command the world, and Zhao Gou in the south of the Yangtze River was enthroned as Emperor Jianyan! How could the Han people become like this in just eight years? Strong?" Yelu Dashi shook his head.

"Father Khan, I went south for the first time that day. I was going to cooperate with Emperor Xuanwu to destroy gold together. At that time, I felt that the Song army was very different from what you said! It was the time when the Song army went north to destroy Xixia, and Xixia was also considered The Northwest is a powerful country that has been established for more than a hundred years. However, the Song army went north. In less than half a year, Xixia lost all its territory in the south. The emperor of Xixia had to send his son as a hostage! I wrote to you, but you don’t think so. You didn’t decide to cooperate with Jurchen until the Song Dynasty occupied the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun! Now that the Han people have become the climate, we can’t take advantage of going south!” Yeluyi said.

"But we have to go south!" Yelu Dashi said.

"Why is this?" Yelu Yilie asked in disbelief.

"Let's go, get on the horse first, and I'll explain it to you." Yelu Dashi said.

The Khitan team was still marching towards the east. In the night, the cold wind was howling, and the torches were all blown out by the strong wind. Fortunately, there were still stars in the sky, so they could barely see ahead.

"We started going south in autumn, and took all the soldiers, tribesmen, cattle and sheep across thousands of miles to the south. The loss along the way was great! Now it's winter, if we go north again, the weather is so cold, we may not be able to return to the original place. I don’t know how many clansmen will die in this severe winter! Do you think we can go north?” Yelu Dashi said.

"But, the Song army is really too strong!" Yeluyi said.

"No matter how strong the Song army is, the north is still the homeland of our Khitan people, and there are still millions of tribesmen here! As long as the millions of tribes unite, we can still drive out the Han people!" Yelu Dashi said.

"This..." Yelu Yilie was taken aback.

"Tell me about the current situation in the world! How is the situation in Liaodong? Haven't the Han people occupied Liaodong yet? Wanyan Zonghan should still have a lot of elite soldiers in his hands?" Yelu Dashi said.

"In Liaodong, it is difficult for our people to survive. Since this summer, countless people have rebelled! Originally, I followed your order and asked them not to fight against the Jurchens. When Father Khan you go south, we will fight against the Jurchens. Let’s cooperate to recapture Yanyun! The clan originally obeyed my orders, but in July, Emperor Xuanwu sent a person to the north, and even encouraged the clan to rebel! The clan only obeys that person, and no longer obeys my orders.” Yelu Yi Lie said.

"Oh? Who can incite our people to rebel?" Yelu Dashi asked in surprise.

"That man is Yeluhong, the eldest son of Yeluchun!" Yelu Yilie said with a wry smile.

Although Yelu Dashi called himself "Khitan Great Khan" in Central Asia, this Khitan Great Khan was not recognized by the Khitan people in the homeland of the Liao Kingdom at all. The so-called "Khitan Khan" is just a joke! On the contrary, Yeluhong is the son of Yeluchun, the former emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty! Yeluchun turned the tide at the end of the Liao Dynasty and had a high prestige in the hearts of the Khitan people. Yeluhong was also regarded as the prince by the Khitan people! Therefore, in Liaodong, it is impossible for Yelu Dashi's subordinates to compete with Yeluhong.

"He is still alive?" Yelu Dashi was surprised again.

"Yes, he is indeed still alive, and he was recruited by the Han people! The Han people are extremely cunning. They first sold a stone man in a deep pit, and then someone dug it out. Eyes, once this thing came out, the appearance of the stone man was exactly the same as Yeluhong! After this incident spread to Liaodong, the world was shocked immediately, and the people of the tribe regarded the rebellion as God's will, and there were rebels everywhere in Liaodong. All the rebels are responding to Yeluhong! Originally, the Liaodong Jurchens could help Zhongjing when the Song army went north, but now they are stuck in the mud and cannot get through!" Yeluyi said.

"The Han people are so powerful! I admire it!" Yelu Dashi nodded after being silent for a while.

"Father Khan, there is no place for us in the north!" Yeluyi said.

"Let's go to Liaodong and take over the rebel army!" Yelu Dashi asked for a long time, pondered for a long time, and then said.
