"Okay! It's not too late, you'll gather people. While the Lord is still planning to break through the pass in the west corner of the prefecture, we will drive eastward. As for Kang Yicheng, An Congjin and Yao Yanchou's group of troops, they are not as good as me, and it's better to instigate them to leak the news...

In Yongning (Li Siyuan's third daughter, Shi Jingtang's wife's princess titled), I can also persuade her to go on the road together. At least we will encourage seven or eight thousand soldiers to join the Khitan, change the way of life, and seek wealth and honor!"

Seeing that his capable general Liu Zhiyuan agreed immediately, Shi Jingtang felt at ease and immediately began to make arrangements, and he wanted to abandon his lord and father-in-law Li Siyuan, and still insisted on his plan to surrender to the Khitan.

In theory, the Wei Dynasty was dominant in the Central Plains, with a strong country and a vast territory. The Emperor of Wei was ambitious and recruited wise, brave and brave men, and was determined to swallow the world... After all, many of the old ministers of the Li family in Hedong surrendered. Since I decided to defect, it meant that I would completely break with the so-called Tang State exiled outside the Great Wall... If I surrender to the Wei Dynasty, can I plan a broader future?

When Shi Jingtang was determined to betray Li Siyuan, he had this idea... but he quickly gave up the idea of ​​surrendering to the Wei Dynasty.

After all, the Li family in Hedong competed for dominance with the Wei Emperor Li Tianqu, while Li Siyuan carried the banner and claimed that he would continue the reign of the Later Tang Dynasty and remained incompatible with the Wei Dynasty... Shi Jingtang thought that he was Li Siyuan's son-in-law, with a special status, and there were many powerful generals in the Wei Dynasty camp, and Li Tianqu might not be able to use him, a surrendered general who had been associated with the exiled emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty.

However, Wang Yu, the son-in-law of Li Siyuan's adoptive father, turned to the Khitan and became Yelu Abaoji as his adoptive father. Now he has a very important position among the Han people in Khitan... Shi Jingtang thought to himself that I was Li Siyuan's son-in-law, so don't say that Wang Yu, even if Zhao Dejun, Lu Wenjin and others surrendered to the Khitan, if we talk about the ability to fight, which of them can fight better than me?

Moreover, Shi Jingtang, as the founding emperor of the third dynasty of the Five Dynasties in the official history line, had a bit of vision. He watched the situation and saw the Khitan expanding continuously. Now he has conquered many tribes in the north, occupied the Bohai Kingdom with white mountains and black waters, controlled the Khikas Khanate in the north of the desert, and the Youyun in the south and even the rich mountains and rivers of the Central Plains... are all territory coveted by Yelu Abaoji. However, the larger the territory, the more the Khitan needs to support agents to rule various territory.

The Khitan originated from the Raole River (the Xilamulun River in the Daxingan Mountains in later generations) has been growing to this day, mainly relying on nomadism and fish hunting. Then the annexation of the territories of the Bohai Sea, Khikas and other countries can also be governed according to the original system; the Khitan can successively annex the prefectures in the northern part of Youyun, and the implementation of the Hu-Han division was indeed the division of the Hu-Han.

Therefore, Yelu Abaoji attaches great importance to Han ministers. Shi Jingtang asked himself that he was born in Taiyuan, Hedong, and at least he was a Shatuo people with a high degree of sinicization... If he could contribute the most to the Khitans and contributed to the Han officials, then the Wei Dynasty, which was restrained by the vassal states under the rule, would be more likely to be the king of the Khitans and even become emperors by themselves.

Of course, Shi Jingtang knew very well that if he was willing to be a front pawn of the Khitan, he would inevitably become an enemy of the destruction of the Jinyang court of the Later Tang Dynasty and annexation of various vassal states, and the strong Wei Dynasty... But wealth and honor are in danger. Since I want to leave the Li family in Hedong, I am only planning for myself and seeking hegemony, of course I have to be in danger and let go!

When Liu Zhiyuan, Du Duijin, Du Chongwei, Zhang Yanze and others were doing their own things to summon their troops to set off, Shi Jingtang also walked out of the big tent and looked at the vast grassland to the west, with a bit of coldness in his decisive eyes...

Shi Jingtang had thought before that instead of bringing only a few thousand troops to join the Khitan... Li Siyuan insisted on being an enemy with Yelu Abaoji, which was also the confidant of the forces he wanted to follow. Since he would eventually break up with the old master, he would take his head as a gift for promotion as a reward for Abaoji... would he be more respected by the Khitan?

However, Shi Jingtang also quickly gave up that idea. Even if he was not a member of the crowd, Li Siyuan was a father-in-law who was very kind to him when he had an opportunity to help him. Even in this season, killing the master and killing the lord was not a rare thing... Shi Jingtang had no limit on being a human being, and he knew that if he really wanted to attack Li Siyuan, he would not only be scolded by the world, but I am afraid that the Khitan side would think that his behavior of rebelling against the old master was too despicable... It was one thing to defect, but if even his benefactor and father-in-law were willing to kill him, then who else in the world could not be killed, including the monarch who was planning to surrender now?

Forget it...Master, no matter how long you have been wandering outside the Great Wall, it is unlikely that you will have the chance to get what you want. Only by leveraging the Khitan can you be more likely to return to the Central Plains, and the Tang country has finally perished...I can't follow you and wander around again. After all, the way is different, and I don't plan for each other. I hope you and I will not meet on the battlefield in the future...

In the name of Li Siyuan, Shi Jingtang ordered Liu Zhiyuan, Zhang Yanze and other groups of troops to march eastward with him. After walking hundreds of miles, he was approaching the Khitan controlled area, and then he told other unknown generals that he was going to rebel and run away, and the force he wanted to serve was the Khitan, which was as powerful as Li Siyuan...

Although these seven or eight thousand soldiers were Shi Jingtang and Liu Zhiyuan's direct military, most of the generals and officials knew the inside story and were unwilling to suffer from the scattered outside the border. They were willing to follow the general to surrender to the Khitan... However, a few of them were Li Siyuan's loyalty. After learning that Shi Jingtang was actually willing to surrender to the enemy, some people were immediately furious and pointed at Shi Jingtang's nose and scolded him for abandoning his faith and betraying his righteousness and betraying his great kindness. He was really inferior to pigs and dogs.

Shi Jingtang remained silent in the face of everyone's reprimand, and there was no look of shame on his face... His sinister eyes were circling around the generals who dared to stand up and scold him. Shi Jingtang made a sudden gesture. Zhang Yanze, his claws, grinned and slapped his horse and rushed out quickly. The blade drew an arc in the air, and then passed through the neck of the officer who was the most scolded. The bright red blood rain splashed, and then fell all over the sky. A head with wide eyes was cut by Zhang Yanze!

"The killer who is trying to kill! How loyal to Li Siyuan at this time? Those who refuse to join the general and follow the Khitan are the enemies they should kill! When they are here, don't expect to go back and report the news. No one of these donkey birds can be kept, and I will kill them all!"

Zhang Yanze's red-yellow eyes were full of fierceness and his screams. The fierce soldiers and soldiers under his command also rose up one after another, and rushed forward to kill left and right.

Originally, it was a military robbery, but the confidants who were instructed by Shi Jingtang to rush to siege and kill without mercy. After all, there were very few generals and soldiers who still strongly resisted and defected to the Khitan. They were killed without any resistance when they were caught off guard!

The curse before death, screams and the neighing of war horses mixed together. A pair of horse hooves stepped around, and the blood sprayed like a scent, dyeing a piece of grass red and turning into a tragic Shura killing field!

A bloody military academy resisted dyingly, chopping up the four soldiers who rushed over. He tried his best to ride out of the siege, and he was trying hard to gallop back and report to Li Siyuan. However, before the frightened war horse could take a few steps, the military academy suddenly found a cavalry standing in front of him... Liu Zhiyuan's pair of tricks with pupils like ink were staring at him. The big sword that he was good at using reflected a cold light, slowly raised it, and was about to slash and fall down when he saw it.

"Liu Zhiyuan! You are from the Shatuo tribe who was born in Taiyuan, Hedong. Do you really want to follow Shi Jingtang's thief and rebel against the master!?"

The military academy star widened her eyes and cried out in grief. However, he saw a hint of hesitation flashing in Liu Zhiyuan's eyes, and he seemed to hear a sigh... But the next moment, the blade still turned into a cold light and fell rapidly, and immediately split the military academy's body into two pieces!
