After some conspiracy, the king and his ministers, Zhaoxun, decided to surrender to the Khitan to fight against the Wei Dynasty, and arranged for people to act secretly, intending to join the Khitan as soon as possible. However, they certainly would not know that Emperor Li Tianqu, who was far away in the Bianjing Imperial City thousands of miles away, could have predicted that the Beiping Kingdom should have begun to plan to attract wolves into the house and was preparing to make plans.

Gao Siji of the Lulong Army defeated the Khitan Han army stationed in Shunzhou. Although the other party pretended to be a bandit and attacked the border and attacked Caogu, he responded to the act of provoking and tempting. However, the Wei Chaoya Army took the initiative to invade the border and attacked the country's official army, and held captive generals like Du Chongwei, which clearly did not want to resolve the dispute... This was equivalent to a slap on the Khitan's face. The border was frequently rubbed, the conflict had escalated, and the relationship between the two sides deteriorated rapidly. It seemed that it was not far from using force to use troops...

Located in the wilderness in Balin Zuo Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the blue sky is covered with white clouds, and the ground is endless with grasslands, with abundant water and grass, and lush surroundings. The mountains are full of green and green waters. The scenery is also very beautiful.

According to historical records, "Abaoji was strong at the beginning, and building a building on Muye Mountain was called the South Tower; building on the north Tower in the mountain was called the North Tower; building on the large tribe was built thousands of miles east of it, called the East Tower; building on the Shangjing was built on the West Tower. Hunting in the four seasons between the four floors"... This area was also in the area of ​​the West Tower in the later Liao Dynasty, which has begun to appear in scale.

When Yelu Abaoji inspected the surrounding ladders, the Mongolian Kingdom and the Beilu Mountains, and shot golden arrows in the Weidian to select the location for building the imperial palace, which was called Longmei Palace. In fact, it was like the dome-style tent hall of nomadic Khan on the grassland. A vast inner city and outer city area were drawn around it. According to the Khitan Nabo Palace system, the people of the palace tent could livestock, fishing and food.

However, there is also a Seoul city with a circumference of more than ten miles south of the Longmei Palace Imperial City. The surrounding walls are two meters high. Han people who have been in the north for some years live there. According to the "History of Liao·Geography", the land here is suitable for planting, and now a large number of farmers have been plundering and plundering. They live with the Khitans in the imperial city in the north.

In the south of the grasslands around Seoul, large areas of land have been reclaimed for farming. The recently cultivated grasslands are still scattered like scalyptus heads, and have not yet been harvested... In addition, the large areas of weeds have been plowed down and piled up into large haystacks to be transported away, as fed as fodders, or kept for winter preparations.

Nowadays, many Han people who have cultivated and worked in the grasslands have indeed joined the immigrant wave of north migration because of the melee in the Central Plains and the brutal rule of local warlords. They have actively joined the migrant tide of migration under the Khitan territory to find a way out; but many people have been forcibly plundered when the Khitan attacked the Han territory. The latter's situation is often much more miserable. The current status is just a slave who has to be taken care of by Khitan herdsmen when doing hard work and has iron shackles on his legs all day long.

...Although during the reign of Emperor Shengzong of Liao, during the reign of Emperor Shengzong of the Emperor Chengtian, the imperial edict was issued to restore the civilian status of a large number of slaves, after all, the Khitan today is still an empire that retains slavery from beginning to end of the Liao Dynasty.

Looking at the Han farmers and slaves working hard, there were some Khitan herders around him looking back and forth, and they saw someone slacking off their movements, or just looking at the other party simply disliked them... The Khitan herders shouted loudly, raised their hands and whipped away, which made the Han slaves whine. In their opinion, these slaves were no different from cattle, horses and livestock. After a long time of teaching, only when the faces of these slaves showed dullness and tameness, they could be considered to be well-equipped and given relatively more freedom.

Even if you encounter some slaves who are strong and difficult to tame, you can kill them with one knife and replace them with another one, what's so great about it?

Even those Han people who moved to the Khitan government who were civilians were working hard to protect their own land. However, when they were working, they encountered Khitan people of the same status, and almost all smiled humbly, just like ordinary people meeting a arrogant clerk.

Although Yelu Abaoji vigorously recruited Han people, encouraged farming and industry and commerce, and agreed that Han officials should be used to improve the system, his legislation was still inclined to favor his own nation... In fact, he had to wait until his second son Yelu Deguang succeeded to the throne, gradually improve the official system from the north and south, and governed Han people, and then he would no longer deal with the Central Plains laws, so that he would no longer deal with the same crimes and differences according to the old customs of the Khitans. However, the Khitans fought to death and died. The laws of the Liao Dynasty stipulated that the Khitans only had to compensate the cattle and horses to kill; but the Han people beat the Khitans to death, and the whole family would be implicated and exiled to become slaves.

It was not until the sixth ruler of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Longxu, son of Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo, began to take charge of the rule, that the slaves were evenly assigned to be organized into a new tribe; the officials were punished for crimes, and the master was not allowed to kill them without permission; the clan's tent was guilty, and the tattoo was followed by the laws of the tribes; those who committed ten evil deeds in the Khitans should be dealt with according to the Han laws... and other laws restricted the privileges of the Khitan nobles, and the first-class discipline was to reduce the differences in sentencing between the Khitans and the Han people as much as possible...

In other words, the Liao Kingdom adopted one country, two systems, and Hu and Han divided the country as a national policy. At least relative to the Han people under their rule, it would take another sixty or seventy years to treat them equally... At present, although Yelu Abaoji attaches importance to absorbing the Han people, the Han people under his rule may be worse than second-class citizens, and they also include a large number of slaves who were raped... If they want to survive, most Han people had to swallow their anger.

Before too long, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed over and passed by the cultivated farmland south of the West Tower. The Khitan herders hurriedly looked around and saw the Xi people and Wuguli people heading towards the north of Longmei Palace... Especially when they saw Shali, the nobleman in the Khitan palace tent, they changed their fierce faces that had just been whipped and scolded Han slaves, and they all stepped forward and bowed with fear and respect.

"It's strange. Emperor Tian destroyed the Bohai Sea in the east and returned from triumphant troops. It's not long before, why are there many leaders of tribal troops coming to see him? Looking at this scene, will it take a large-scale military service again?"

"You haven't heard of it yet? The Wei people in the south crossed the border to attack the official army guarding Shunzhou. When they heard that the Emperor Tian was furious. It seemed that they were going to recruit the army of the tents of the palace, and even the generals of the twenty tribes, to prepare to use troops against the Wei State..."

"This... I took advantage of the war between Wei and Jin, and although I seized a lot of territory, I also plundered many livestock, wealth, women, and slaves... But the Wei emperor in the south heard that he had almost annexed the entire Central Plains, and his rule was rich and prosperous, with sufficient soldiers and food. He was even more powerful than Li Keyong and Li Cunxu, who were originally from Jin people.

When Emperor Tian raised 200,000 troops to go south, he was killed by Li Yazi, a Jin man, and returned. Now he is going to fight with Wei, how much chance of winning can he have?"

Watching the last cavalry gallop past, the Khitan herdsmen immediately started to talk. After saying a word, one of them spat and said loudly:

"The Emperor of Heaven is wise and powerful. Although he was defeated by Li Yazi at the beginning, he later went south to occupy a large area of ​​territory? Our Khitan destroyed the Bohai Sea and annexed the troops of the Khikas. He had dominated the grasslands, so how could he not defeat the Wei Kingdom?

I remember that I was governed by the Tang court by the Tang court, and now it is finally time for our Khitan to enjoy our happiness! When I attacked Jin State in the south, conquered Lu Long, Zhenwu and others to rule Xiazhou Prefecture, captured a large number of people and enriched slaves and animals for our orders. How much wealth will the younger brother who returned from the expedition bring back? If I fight south and seize Daibei of Wei State, Yan Yun... that large area of ​​territory, aren't there still countless animals, slaves, and property waiting for us to collect!?

If the Emperor really wants to send troops south, we are also strong men directly under the Xilou Palace Account. If I have the opportunity to go to the war with the army, I will go and plunder it!”
