    Chapter 280: Brothers Rebellion Negotiations are lengthy, and a preliminary peace treaty has been drafted and signed.  Most of De Concubine's family and courtiers chose to return to Linhuang Mansion. At the same time, De Concubine ordered all troops to surrender to the Song army.  Next is the negotiation between Yelu Dashi and Han Shizhong on how to implement the whereabouts of the soldiers.  After all, 300,000 people is not a small number. Tokyo's population base is too small, and there is a special shortage of young women. Should they be returned to the south of Tokyo, or should they be diverted from multiple sources?  Therefore, this detail includes the negotiations between the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War.  What makes Ouyang happy is that Concubine De actually has the household registration book of the Liao Kingdom that she obtained from Emperor Tianzuo. It includes not only the main areas ruled by the Liao Dynasty, but also the vassal tribes of the Liao and Western Liao.  There are more than 100 Mongolian tribes among them.  There were only two or three officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who came with him, and they almost vomited blood when they looked at the mountains of information.  Fortunately, the imperial guards who followed Ouyang were of relatively high quality and had many literate people. About two hundred people were selected from them to help organize statistical data and re-create the records.  Yelu Chun may or may not be dead, Ouyang and the others don't care.  The rulers had already obtained their own interests and abandoned the soldiers.  Yelu Dashi is negotiating with another negotiating team including people sent by Han Shizhong for the benefit of the soldiers.  Han Shizhong's army has already entered to prepare to receive the place and place the soldiers.  But at this time, a Liao army raided Pingzhou, the state capital where the imperial envoy was stationed, with only 800 guards left.  There are extremists in every dynasty, every period, and every nation.  Such people are the guardians of the nation in war years, and they are also the products of other people's deep disgust.  Because these people put the height of the nation above the gains and losses of their own lives.  The Liao Kingdom was also a big country. Although it had been deeply influenced by Confucianism, it was undeniable that there were always some people who were dissatisfied with the surrender policy of the decadent court.  Ouyang was obviously overconfident. It was originally protected by the Pingzhou garrison. Then some of these garrison troops were assigned to the front line to surrender, and some protected the ministers and emperors who came to Linhuang Mansion. They were then resettled by local officials in accordance with the peace treaty signed by Ouyang, leaving only some low-level officials.  Officials cooperated in sorting it out.  As a result, the state capital, Yelv Chun¡¯s earlier temporary palace, was surrounded by two thousand cavalry.  Ouyang did not send any scouts at all, because there were only 800 guards who had to sort out a large number of books and household registrations.  He also had to take care of the daily life of the accompanying ministers, provide food and clothing for everyone, and did not sound the alarm until the Liao cavalry entered the city.  Eight hundred guards protected the state capital, and at the same time sent martial arts experts to break through and ask for help from the army.  Ouyang also realized the seriousness of the matter. Once the imperial envoy team was destroyed, the contradiction between Song and Liao would become complicated and confusing.  The Liao soldiers who were preparing to surrender were bound to worry about the Song army's revenge and fled in all directions.  In this way, it is easy for them to gather into gangs. Even if they do not pose a political and military threat in the future, they are likely to gather into bandits, run rampant in Tokyo, harass local areas, and even move north to Russia to form new independent tribes with hatred for Song Dynasty.  They may also flee to occupied areas, destroy the local areas, recruit people to join, and become anti-government armed forces with certain strength.  It will also lead to the Song Dynasty retaliating against those in power who signed the peace treaty, making the Liao people sad, not conducive to local governance, and may lead to a national anti-Han situation.  Of course, such a far-reaching impact was what Ouyang thought about later. The most important thing at the moment is to save his own life and that of everyone else.  "Brother, why don't you say hello to me when you come to Khitan?" A rough voice shouted outside: "I brought a jar of wine. Brother, why don't you give me the face to come out and have a drink?" Ouyang heard the voice, and it turned out to be  Xiao Ganyun, whom I haven¡¯t seen for many years.  After the capture of Linhuang Mansion, Ouyang sent people to investigate the whereabouts of Xiao Ganyun, but he heard that he had entrusted the management of the casino to Wang Mai and his whereabouts were unknown.  I really didn't expect that he, who had a great family and business, would actually join the army, and he didn't expect that he would lead troops to surround his imperial mission.  Ouyang said: "Good brother, come out right away. Big brother, please wait a moment." With a one-meter-two-meter wall, eight hundred guards under the leadership of Zhu Da established a defense.  But everyone knows that as long as the Liao people set fire, the people inside will not be able to hold on and will have no choice but to come out and fight with the Liao cavalry.  This is an envoy, not a combat team. There are no other firearms at all except a dozen hand cannons.  Zhu Da stopped Ouyang and clasped his fists: "Sir, I have discussed with everyone that you must be sent out safely." "Send him out?" "I will dress you up as a guard soldier. There are hundreds of horses and horses in the state capital.  With some firearms, there is still a good chance of breaking out. "Zhu Da said: "As long as you are fine, everything will be fine. If something happens to you, I am afraid that the efforts of the peace talks for more than a month will be in vain." "I will talk about this when I come back.  "Okay." Ouyang said: "My eldest brother won't do anything dirty when he invites me to drink. Just go with Zhang San and Li Si."  Xiao Ganyun was sitting thirty meters in front of the main entrance of the state government.  , there were some bacon and two wineskins on a table in front of him, and all the cavalrymenHe wandered around the state capital a hundred steps away.  Ouyang cupped his hands and said, "Brother." Xiao Ganyun stood up and said, "Brother, come and sit down." Ouyang walked over and sat down. Xiao Ganyun poured wine and said, "Brother is already an important minister of the Song Dynasty at such a young age. I am really impressed by my brother." Ouyang said: "  The brothers didn¡¯t expect that the eldest brother would actually become a soldier.¡± ¡°Haha,¡± Xiao Ganyun said with a smile, ¡°I originally wanted to fight the Jurchen dog, but now I¡¯m fighting with the Song people.¡± Ouyang looked at Xiao Ganyun, and in addition to the deepening changes in his chest.  A scar was exposed, and the skin and flesh were open, which was shocking.  Ouyang said: "Brother, the battle is over. Yelu Dashi is making arrangements for the funeral." "The battle between Song and Liao is over, but the battle between Khitan and Han is not over yet." Xiao Ganyun said: "The Khitan clan only has two surnames.  , one is Yelu, the other is Xiao. Neither his surname is Zhao nor Ou, nor is his surname Zhang Wang Li Zhao. Brothers, do you know that there is a river in the Khitan tribe, and the ancestors call it Huangshui, and they say that it is the daughter of the Yellow River.  One river is called Tuhe. Legend has it that a fairy who came from the Yellow River in a green ox cart and an immortal who came from the Tuhe on a white horse met at the intersection of the two rivers. The two fell in love.  As husband and wife, they are the ancestors of the Khitan tribe. "Yes, brother." Ouyang said, "They are called dual cultivators. Both fairies and immortals belong to Taoism. Most Taoists are Han people.  So according to this legend, the Khitans are also descendants of the Han people. "What nonsense?" Ouyang said: "Brother, look, you and I look alike."  What's the difference? People say you are a Khitan, a people of God. What about the Han people?  Are the Han people treating the Khitan people poorly, or are the Han people oppressing the people more than you Khitan people? Or are the Han people treating you as a second-class ethnic group and looking down on you? Go ask the people in Linhuang Prefecture and see if they are more willing to be stupid with you.  The emperor is still satisfied with his current life." "Brother, why bother talking about those ignorant people?" Xiao Ganyun pointed behind him and said: "Brother, ask them, are they willing to die in battle, or are they willing to be slaves of the Han people?  Ouyang asked: "How are you like a slave? Does the elder brother know what the Song Dynasty's policy is? Do you have to force the Song Dynasty to do this to the Khitan?"  Absolutely?" "Your original intention was to force the surrendered Khitans to resist?" "The reason is because we are Khitans," Xiao Ganyun said.  Now that the Song Dynasty is destroyed and everyone wants to surrender to the Khitans, will you be like me? Would you rather persevere than live in ruins? " "This" Ouyang really hasn't considered this question.  If you think about it from another person's perspective, if you were in that situation, you would seem to have some spark of resistance left.  Ouyang shook his head: "Brother, your question is meaningless. The Han people are winning now. Do you think you can defeat the Han people with just a few people like you?" "Of course I can't defeat you, but I can kill you. Once you die, the Song court will be shaken.  Revenge. Concubine De and Yelu Chun may still be buried with the original Manchu warriors. The Khitan people have shown signs of resistance again. "Xiao Ganyun said: "The most important thing is that the Khitan soldiers have not yet handed over. They are probably afraid of the revenge of the Han people.  They dispersed in a hurry, and then gathered into a group to seek restoration. Tokyo is vast, and sooner or later we can make a comeback and rebuild the Khitan Kingdom. " "It's a pity," Ouyang said, "It's a pity that my brother is planning carefully, but my guards have broken through and taken away my autographed letter.  After receiving the letter, General Han will block all news, and the Royal News will only provide positive news. Even if all our people are killed, it will not cause dissatisfaction even among the Yangping people.  In twenty years, the truth will be revealed, and it won¡¯t be unusual for everyone to be crowned king by then.¡±  But I don¡¯t want to harm my eldest brother.¡± Ouyang said, ¡°But I still have to persuade my eldest brother to put down these thoughts. If my eldest brother wants to do good for the Khitan people, I can recommend him to be a fourth-rank official in the court, and then he can represent the Khitan people.  Talk to the court. Don't you think about your subordinates? They have wives and children. They come with him not because of any Khitan, but because they share the same spirit. " "" Xiao Ganyun said after thinking for a long time.  : "Brother, after drinking this wine, our fate as brothers will come to an end." "Stubborn" Ouyang picked up the wine bag, drank it in one breath, then stood up and said: "Take care" &nbsp"Take care" Xiao Ganyun raised the wine bag and drank.   Xiao Ganyun ordered: "Order to set fire and force them out. Remember, don't run away Ouyang." There was no response from below. The gate of the state capital opened and more than thirty horses suddenly rushed out and ran towards the east gate.  The Khitans obviously did not expect that the Song people would dare to attack first, and they immediately fell into chaos.  Then he was attacked by several hand cannons from the Song Dynasty and was forced to clear a path.  Xiao Ganyun was shocked: "Chase" but he immediately realized: "Two hundred cavalry chased out, and the others stayed put." At this time, the cavalry from the back gate of the state capital all came out, with thirty people in one team, and they were divided into two teams to take the west gate and the south gate.  .  Due to the sudden change, Xiao Ganyun's orders were not followed. Not only was the whole army in a state of confusion, but there was also no dispatch of two hundred cavalry to pursue the first wave of enemies.  At the same time, hundreds of arrows flew out of the walls of the state capital, further disrupting the Khitan soldiers' pursuit.  Then the infantrymen of the state capital came out in unison, lined up in full body armor, marched out neatly, and faced the cavalry guarding outside the state capital without fear.  They cannot be afraid. As imperial guards, if Ouyang dies and they are still alive, they will all be buried with him.  If they escape privately, their families will have to sit together.  This is a very strict rule.  Xiao Ganyun was thinking anxiously, where is Ouyang?  Breakout from the east, west or south?  Or is it a conspiracy to hide himself in the state capital?  There are two things that must be done. The first is to avoid the desperate entanglement of the Guards infantry, and the second is to deploy cavalry to deal with it.  If Ouyang breaks through three gates, the guards must have gathered hand cannons. Those who pursue less troops will definitely suffer a big loss, and they are likely to be eaten by the Song people's counterattack.  Xiao Ganyun immediately ordered: "Each of the three gates will lead three hundred cavalry to pursue them, and a hundred cavalry will surround and set fire to them. The remaining thousand people will drive away the infantry, and don't get entangled with them." The arrangement was very good, and all the four points Ouyang had hidden were eliminated.  But today Lord Huodexing was destined to be on vacation, and three Khitan troops were sent out to pursue them. Before they started setting fire to the city, the 700 Song infantry troops in neat formation suddenly dispersed in a flurry, and everyone fled in all directions.  When Xiao Ganyun saw it, he yelled, "It's not good." The Song army actually wanted to use houses and other obstacles to fight guerrillas against him.  Sure enough, as he expected, several rays of cold light soon flew out from a nearby house, and two Khitan soldiers were killed immediately by arrows falling from their horses.  The cavalry had no impact and lost more than half of its power. The Song army was suddenly dispersed. Although part of it was intercepted, it was only a very small part.  Who said Southerners are not good at shooting?  The Tokyo Forbidden Army here are all good at using cold weapons.  Although I have no experience in actual combat, my hands are soft.  But there are still ways to kill enemies from long distances like archery.  And it's really not too far.  As soon as Xiao Ganyun hesitated, another arrow from another direction struck, taking away a life.  The Khitan soldiers raised their bows and fired at the Song army.  However, the Song army was protected by houses and the Khitans gathered together in a wide area. Not only did the number of deaths on both sides be disproportionate, the Khitans also sent ammunition to the Song army.  Although Xiao Ganyun also understood that the Song army did not have many archers, and the archers did not have many arrows, you can't ignore it. This will have a very serious impact on morale.  There was already a group of ten cavalrymen rushing towards the street, but as soon as they entered the street, as soon as the houses on both sides opened, more than a dozen Song soldiers came out with swords, one each, jumped up and threw the Khitan soldiers off their horses, and then the Lachidan soldiers returned to the house.  Take shelter from the arrows.  After all, Xiao Ganyun was not a famous general like Yelu Dashi, and he did not have enough restraint, so he left a hundred soldiers to set fire to the state capital, and thousands of others began to divide into groups to hunt down the Song army.  He did not guard the city gates before carrying out a clearing campaign.  ¡°Look,¡± a Khitan man pointed at the city wall.  Xiao Ganyun looked up and saw a few Song Army infantry using ropes to get out of the city wall.  Xiao Ganyun ordered: "You lead twenty men to chase." "Everyone is escaping from the city." Xiao Ganyun looked around and was shocked. The Song army was completely defeated and scattered on all sides.  Not only were there a few running away from the city gate, but there were also groups of people sliding ropes from the city wall.  "Chase, chase, don't let anyone go." Xiao Ganyun shouted: "Ouyang may be inside, mobilize hundreds of people from Weifu to guard the city gate." Xiao Ganyun successfully broke up the group of Khitan cavalry into pieces.  Then when there were only a few people around him, Zhu Da led 20 soldiers dressed in Khitan clothes and surrounded him.  "You still won't chase me?" Xiao Ganyun shouted.  Zhu Da smiled and said: "Your Excellency is right, both Khitan and Han people have the same appearance." "Who are you?" "We found some Khitan clothes from the state capital. Soldiers who sneaked into the residences also found some  We changed some clothes. Then we walked up to you in a big way, but you really couldn't see through it. "Where is Ouyang?" Xiao Ganyun asked.  "Master Ou had already gone out to chase the fleeing Song cavalry at the west gate." Zhu Dada said: "As soon as the cavalry came out of the west gate, Master Ou got off his horse and took off his outer clothes, and then mixed with your three hundred people to pursue the Song army. At this time, it may be possible  He had already made an excuse to fall behind and ran away. "What a fool." Xiao Ganyun said, "It's a pity."We are not my subordinates, and many of us don¡¯t know each other.  They are bloody Khitan people who have united together privately, otherwise they will definitely not let you succeed.  " "The news of the surrender of the front line has been out for a long time. How could there be a whole group of rebel soldiers?  " Xiao Ganyun said in Khitan dialect: "You run, tell everyone, Ouyang is in the west position, conduct a comprehensive search, don't worry about the life and death of the city and me, I will stop them, they can't kill them if they don't know Khitan dialect.  " "Yes." Several people around him immediately turned their horses. Zhu Da waved his hand, and the surrounding soldiers moved out of the way to let them leave. Xiao Ganyun was stunned for a moment, and then was shocked. Just as he was about to shout, a voice floated over: "Brother, it's time to rest.  .  "Ouyang, Zhang San and Li Si, all dressed as guards, walked out of a nearby residence. Xiao Ganyun asked: "You didn't leave through the west gate?  " "No, my skin is too white, and I will be recognized sooner or later if I hang out with the Khitans.  " Zhang San said: "Sir, the Liao army is in chaos on all sides. It is better to take it down first to avoid a long night and many dreams.  " "En" Xiao Ganyun was quickly captured alive. A group of Khitan cavalry rushed over. Everyone quickly rushed into the private house, and then broke through the walls of the private house. The Khitan cavalry could not figure out the location of the Song people at all. At this time, the Khitan people also  He began to use Khitan language to order everyone to pursue Ouyang from the west gate. Of course, the soldiers in the city knew the main purpose of their rebellion, so they all left Pingzhou City from the west. "How are those officials?"  " "Still soaking in the pond, the Khitans did not set fire.  "Zhu Damo went out to inspect the area and said, "The fifty suspect soldiers that your Excellency deployed in the state capital are of no use.  " Seeing Xiao Ganyun being tied up, Ouyang explained in confusion: "I can think of two ways for you to attack the state capital. The first is to set fire from outside, and the second is to break in and set fire.  I arranged for fifty people with hand cannons to ambush you at every door in the state capital, forcing you to set fire outside.  If you just set fire outside, the officials will not be burned to death as long as they are not drowned in the pond.  I didn't expect that if you didn't set the fire, the manpower I arranged would be wasted.  "After several battles, Ouyang still has some experience in arranging small-scale battles, and he has integrated psychology and other aspects to make him even better.
