After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?
Chapter 406: Liao Storm
"From now on, the world...is unified——!!!"
"Om-!"
"Boom boom boom——!"
As Han Ming inserted the imperial sword into the boundary marker, the musicians around the altar played triumphal music crazily.
Hundreds of mighty cannons in the distance responded with a roar, spitting out dazzling sparks that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The Song army soldiers lined up below the stage, clenched their right fists and struck their breastplates in unison, singing "Pozhenqu" in unison.
"According to the law, I resigned from the head of state and went to fight against the traitors. We all sang "Pozhen Music" and appreciated the peaceful people."
"The imperial wind covers the four seas, and the waters are clear for a thousand years; I no longer need to wear military uniforms, and today I declare my success."
"The Lord is holy and has opened up a prosperous era. I am loyal to his great plan. You will see that after the reform, there will be a peaceful autumn."
"..."
Shocking!!!
The entire scene was unprecedented, with surging waves resounding throughout the land. Everyone who came to watch the ceremony knew one thing - the prosperous era of the Song Dynasty had begun!!!
Sima Junshi, who had the honor to participate in this ceremony, said after his retirement that the luckiest thing in his life was to participate in the Northern Expedition negotiations, which was a new chapter in the history of the Song Dynasty.
At this point, the Song Dynasty had the capital to compete with all previous dynasties, and had the "Shaosheng Prosperity" comparable to the "Kaiyuan Prosperity"!
. . . . . .
The uproar over the Northern Expedition victory ceremony swept across neighboring countries such as Song and Liao like a wave. Through word of mouth and written records, they all understood that there was a great country in the East - named "Song".
In mid-May of the third year of Yuanyou, under the highly efficient administrative operation of the Song court, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Liaoxi Corridor and Liaodong were all brought under the management of the court.
The Northern Expedition Army headed by Han Ming announced its disbandment, and all troops returned to the war zone for rest.
The time for returning to the capital was set at the end of July, when all the civil and military officials, led by the young Emperor Zhezong, would come to welcome them.
Only one person in the world could have such an honor. Han Jingyuan's reputation finally reached its peak in the Song Dynasty and no one could stop him.
At the same time, a new storm broke out in the Yanyun area. The whirlwind that was about to blow up by this storm would completely destroy the national power of the Liao Dynasty.
On March 13, Yelu Hongji and his accomplices including Yelu Yixin headed north to return home. When passing through an official road somewhere north of Shunzhou, he suddenly died of illness.
All 80,000 troops under his command were under the command of Yelu Yixin. Yelu Yixin, in the name of the emperor's will, accused Yelu Jun, who had returned to the country, of being a traitor and forged an edict to the crown prince, stating that he should not ascend the throne.
Yelu Jun, who had finally escaped from Gubeikou and entered Bei'anzhou of the Liao Kingdom, looked grim when he received the news.
He then issued an edict of accession to the throne, proclaimed himself emperor in Bei'an Prefecture, and took the name Shunzong. He remotely respected the deceased emperor Yelü Hongji as the Benevolent, Holy, Great, Filial and Wen Emperor, and gave him the temple name Daozong.
At the same time, they took the initiative, claiming that Yelu Hongji died at the hands of Yelu Yixin, and called on the military and civilians across the country to attack him together.
While still in the territory of Song Dynasty, Yelu Yixin immediately understood Yelu Jun's idea, and then issued a second imperial edict based on Yelu Hongji's will.
The imperial edict indicated that Yelu Jun had become a running dog of the Song people after years of fleeing to the Song Dynasty. Especially during the Northern Expedition, he repeatedly tried to persuade the Liao army to surrender, which led to the deterioration of the war situation and repeated defeats of the Liao Dynasty. Most of the responsibility was borne by Yelu Jun.
The wrangling between the two sides increased the division within the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty. However, considering the devastation in the northern border of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Jun did not pay much attention to Yelu Yixin who was still in the Song Dynasty.
After ascending the throne, he quickly led Yelu Liang, Xiao Boyu and others to march thousands of miles from east to west to start the work of suppressing the rebellion.
While in the territory of the Song Dynasty, Yelu Yixin finally met the mastermind of all the events, Han Ming, the Prince of Guangyang of the Song Dynasty!
"I never thought that after just a few days, Prime Minister Han has already reached the highest rank, wielding the military and political power of the Song Dynasty, and even been crowned king!"
Yelu Yixin stared at Han Ming, who was dressed in casual clothes, with a gloomy expression.
"It's all just empty titles. If the Prime Minister likes it, I can give it to him."
Han Ming didn't care about Yelu Yixin's behavior. After all, he was responsible for a lot of the other party's situation today, so it was reasonable for him to feel resentful.
"How is it? Has your country's new emperor lived up to my words?"
Han Ming paced in the tent filled with a faint stench, opened the coffin casually, looked at the corpse inside whose face had turned black and smelled bad, and smiled.
"Cover it up! Don't you think it's unlucky?"
Yelu Yixin's face showed no trace of viciousness at this moment, and he stared at Han who was opening the coffin.
"unlucky?"
Han Ming stared at the hideous face of the corpse with a dim smile on his lips.
"If I cut off his head and hung it on the gate of Bianjing City, wouldn't that be a tremendous achievement?!"
Yelu Yixin was trembling all over. He stared at the standing Han with disgust, just like he and the person in the coffin.
"You don't have much time... Xiao Boyu will be free after he puts down the rebellion, and then you won't even have the chance to return home."
Han Ming stopped teasing Yelu Yixin, who was already furious. He closed the coffin lid, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, wiped his hands twice, and then threw it away casually.
"What do you need me to do?!"
Yelu Yixin now has no opinion of his own. From the moment he "killed the king", he has been walking into the abyss.
"If you don't succeed, you will succeed."
"Do I still need to teach you such a simple truth?!"
"The Song Dynasty does not need a stable steppe neighbor... It's up to you."
"If you need anything, contact the commander of Gubeikou. He will prepare it for you."
"Leave Song territory as soon as possible... Have a safe journey, Your Majesty!"
Han Ming finally let out a mysterious smile, quietly left the tent, and disappeared into the night.
As Han Ming uttered the last word "Your Majesty", Yelu Yixin's breathing suddenly became much heavier. He stared at the coffin, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a ferocious expression.
"Issue the entire army: Yelu Jun colluded with the Song Dynasty to kill the emperor and intend to split the Khitan. Your Majesty's last words are: annihilate these traitors and leave no one alive!!!"
As Yelu Yixin took control of Nabo, the 80,000 troops in Yelu Hongji's hands became his complete capital.
He wanted to rely on these soldiers to defeat Yelu Jun and others and return to the pinnacle of power in the Liao Dynasty.
Civil war is about to break out!
. . . . . .
"Your Highness has some bad intentions. Yelu Yixin's expression changed when he heard you call him Your Majesty."
Yong Zeng grinned at Han Ming. As his prince rose step by step, he had now gained military merit in the Northern Expedition and was promoted to the title of marquis.
From now on, starting with him, we can create a new family of military generals in the Song Dynasty.
"If one's virtue is not worthy of his position, he will be punished by heaven."
"This person is capable, but his ambition and desire for power are too great."
"Yelü Hongji knew him and used him, but he didn't control him. The end result was fate."
"He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to stab Yelu Jun in the back, sweep across the Liao Dynasty, and secure his position as the ruler of Khitan, but he still fell short."
Han Ming put his hands behind his back and came to the Song army tent several miles away.
Here are the Jingsai Army, the Shenji Camp, and the troops disguised as Liao troops led by Gao Zunyu and Liu Changzuo.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
Gao Zunyu and Liu Changzuo came out to greet Han Ming wearing Liao-style military robes.
"Are you all ready?"
Han Ming couldn't help laughing when he saw the two of them like this.
"Everything is ready. We'll just wait for Yelu Yixin to lead his troops out of Gubeikou and give him a good beating."
Gao Zunyu is so old, and it is difficult for him to play house, especially when Han smiled, which made him roll his eyes several times.
If Han Ming had not promised to commend him for his achievements and secure a title for his grandson, he would not have wanted to return to the battlefield.
"Just charge in and kill. There's no need to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers. Just make Yelu Yixin wary and careful."
"After all, they are the main elite troops, still well-rested and full of vigor. If he were to stab Yelu Jun, it is very likely that the Liao Dynasty would be overturned."
"I am not stupid. I will not make wedding clothes for others for nothing."
"This show will only be interesting if both sides are evenly matched!"
Han Ming's sinister smile made Gao Zunyu and others speechless and shed tears. They thought that the Northern Expedition was over, but this guy was still making mistakes and scheming. He simply didn't leave any way for the Khitans to survive!
"Your Highness, that mission is completed. When will I and the others be able to return to the capital?"
Looking at Gao Zunyu who was a little embarrassed, I knew that this old guy missed home.
"Don't worry, it will be quick. I can't wait to return to the capital."
Han Ming stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the bright moon in the sky with the others...
