I originally thought that receiving the lenient treatment from the Khitan prince Yelu Bei would be equivalent to having a knocking brick that would be included in the Khitan collection and reused... When Zhao Dejun and Zhao Yanshou were secretly glading, they heard Yelu Bei say this again, and the flattering smile on their faces immediately frozen.

The Yinan Khitan Cavalry Army formed by the Later Tang Dynasty had indeed become enemies with the Diela tribe of the Yelu clan... Yelu Abaoji used thunder to bloody purge all the tribe leaders of the Khitan Alliance who opposed his restructuring and becoming emperor. Of course, many ethnic groups would hate their sinister and viciousness and refused to accept his rule.

Zhao Dejun had previously proposed to vote for Yelu Abaoji, but at first he was strongly opposed by Yin'an Khitanzhi. However, Zhao Dejun tried his best to explain the pros and cons... Now that the Jinyang court has fallen, our army will not find a strong backer, what is the difference between it and the betrayed dog?

Since you are both Khitans, Yelu Abaoji has captured Lu Long and Zhenwu Chuzhou Prefectures. The national strength is indeed much stronger than before. It is time to accept his orders to be the emperor of the Khitan Kingdom... You don't have to wander around and return to Khitan again, so that you can have a place to settle down. Isn't it just a big tree to enjoy the cool air?

However, Zhao Dejun finally convinced his cavalry to come and surrender. According to Yelu Bei's implication, he did not seem to have planned to let go of the soldiers of the same clan who had rebelled against the Khitan Kingdom.

Zhao Dejun looked at his adopted son Zhao Yanshou again, and couldn't help but look embarrassed. After all, in this world, the more soldiers and horses under his command, the more confidence he is to seek credit from the king. Even if the Khitan cavalry under his command is not easy to lead, the thousands of elite cavalry were the capital to gain a foothold in the army in the past... But if Yelu Bei really wanted to make up his mind to kill all the Yinan Khitan soldiers... Then wouldn't he fall into the dilemma of losing power and power?

Thinking of this, Zhao Dejun then laughed dryly, then nodded and said to Yelu Bei:

"This... Your Highness, my troops and horses were indeed unwilling to submit to the Supreme Kingdom before... But I served in Yan and Jin one after another. At that time, I had to be an enemy of the Supreme Kingdom. Now I am here to surrender, and I feel very frightened. Fortunately, I am supported by Your Highness, and I feel that I will be willing to serve the people in my five countries. As for the Yinan Khitanzhi..."

Before Zhao Dejun finished speaking, the generous and kind smile on Yelu Bei's face gradually faded, and he waved his hand and interrupted him, then said in a deep voice:

"General Zhao, you and your sons join me in Khitan, you should be able to do a great job. I am also happy to promote and recommend Han officials and talents to my father. Moreover, our dynasty will be transferred to the Han soldiers and general Zhao's command, so you don't have to worry. However, the silver-san Khitan direct soldiers and horses you control will be punished and will not be punished. It is necessary to serve as a warning to others..."

Yelu Bei was originally gentle and elegant, and his words and deeds were quite similar to those of a well-educated Han prince. But if he continued, Zhao Dejun and Zhao Yanshou saw that the Khitan prince became more ferocious in his eyebrows, and his eyes also showed a cruel and pathological cruel look:

"So what I want to keep is only you, father and son. As for the so-called Yinan Khitanzhi commanded by General Zhao... According to the father's intention, if one is not kept, he should be killed (according to the "Zizhi Tongjian·Ru 280·Hou Jin Jiyi": Dejun and his son welcomed Gaohe, and the Khitan Lord comforted him... The Khitan Lord said to Dejun: "Where is the Yinan Khitan I set up in Youzhou?" Dejun instructed him, and the Khitan Lord ordered him to kill him in the western suburbs)!"

When Zhao Dejun heard this, he sighed in his heart. He also understood completely that his direct military was destined to be unable to save it... The Khitan still refused to let go of those tribe members who had once opposed Abaoji's claim to be emperor. Zhao Dejun knew very well that if they both expected to be valued, they would have to give up their old subordinates.

When this is important, of course, I will die for fellow Taoists... Zhao Dejun gritted his teeth and thought that in this time, he should know how to make choices and make up his mind... For a bright future, even if he is close relatives and friends, I can betray them! What's more, the Khitan soldiers under his command?

After Zhao Dejun thought about it in his heart, he bowed to Yelube again:

"I have to meet the wise master. This is your duty. If you have any instructions, I will obey the order! Since your highness says that all the silver-sand Khitans should be killed... I have no objection!"

When Yelu Bei heard this, he showed a meaningful smile. He seemed to be very satisfied with Zhao Dejun's response. Looking out of the hall, Yelu Bei looked at a military general standing and waiting at the door. He used his palm as a knife and stroked his neck, making a beheading move... The army was about to be willing, bowed to take the order, and immediately went to arrange the deployment, and began to prepare to massacre all the Yinan Khitan soldiers who were guarded...

But when Yelu Bei's eyes fell on Zhao Dejun again, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he walked forward to support each other, and said in a kind manner:

"I did not read it wrong with General Zhao! You, father and son came to serve, which is a blessing for me! General Zhao and his son agreed to help our country and I will also use it more. In the future, you, father and son must share my worries more for me..."

It is probably confirmed that the other party was indeed betting his future in the Khitan situation... Yelu Bei deliberately wanted to get close to Han ministers like Zhao Dejun and Zhao Yanshou who were willing to defect to him, which was sincere. Because he was not only influenced by his father Yelu Abaoji, he respected Han Confucianism very much... At present, he is even said to be the descendant of the Khitan royal family with the highest degree of sinicization.

Yelu Bei had read a large number of Chinese classics in his early years, and had even reached the level of fanatical obsession. Even now he has not yet exposed his fierce and cruel side... But now he has a tragic knowledge of Confucianism, painting, writing poetry, yin and yang, music, medicine.... Even though he is still young, Yelu Bei has a very high cultural cultivation. Even compared with Han talents of the same age, he can be said to be knowledgeable and talented.

The Khitan originally believed in shamanism and began to worship Buddhism at this time. However, the Khitan discussed the important matter of temple sacrifice, and Yelu Bei strongly suggested that Confucius was the most sage and predecessor, so Abaoji issued an edict to establish a Confucius Temple, and Yelu Bei led all officials to pay tribute to Confucius in spring and autumn every year...

However, because Yelu Bei was too obsessed with the expression of Sinology, he respected Confucius and worshipped Confucianism and began to show his intention to advocate the complete sinicization of Khitan and use Confucianism as the art of governing the country... He has opposed the concept of Shuluping, his biological mother who maintained the dominance of Khitan civilization, and has even reached the point of rift between him.

Therefore, Yelu Bei pays more attention to winning over Han ministers, chanting poems and essays with literati, discussing scriptures and tales, and then getting close to the military generals to strengthen his momentum. Even after the Khitan Kingdom, his biological mother Shuluping was also extremely politically powerful in the center of the regime... But Yelu Bei knew that he was the crown prince and the heir to the throne of the Great Khitan Kingdom, so he would only become the Khitan Emperor in the future.

What's more, compared to his brothers Yelu Deguang, Yelu Lihu, and Yelu Abaoji's evaluation of his three biological flesh is "successful and successful, and it is not as small as possible"... In other words, his eldest son is the most loved and respected by his father. Yelu Bei naturally firmly believes that he will sooner or later become the Khitan king and thoroughly implement the country's governing philosophy he believes......

At least for now, that's what he thinks.
