Not long after the demise of the Later Jin Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan proclaimed himself king in Taiyuan and sent troops to attack Hebei. After hearing that Yelu Deguang was traveling to the Hexian, he was overjoyed and immediately took over the shawl and took charge of the commander. He personally took over the army and led the army to Kaifeng, and soon took down Kaifeng.

Liu Zhiyuan was originally from Shatuo, but in order to show that he was "right and beautiful", he called himself a descendant of the Later Han emperor and took the country's name as Han, which is what we call the Later Han.

All this happened too quickly. Before many people came to their senses, Liu Zhiyuan had already taken Kaifeng and established the Later Han Dynasty. Therefore, some people who had originally coveted the Central Plains were unhappy. The Southern Tang Emperor Li Jing was one of them.

The Southern Tang royal family claimed to be descendants of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Li Longji. Since the founding of the country, they have been staring at the Central Plains region and always thinking about restoring their ancestors. But they also knew that it would be difficult to deal with the Central Plains dynasty with their own abilities, so they sent people to Khitan repeatedly to divide the Central Plains region with the Khitan.

At that time, Shi Jingtang was in power in the Central Plains, and the Later Jin Dynasty had long become a vassal of the Khitan Empire, so the Khitan decisively threw away the olive branch extended by the Southern Tang Dynasty and refused the invitation from the Southern Tang Dynasty.

When Yelu Deguang drove west, the Southern Tang Dynasty saw an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they immediately rectified their troops and prepared to go north to restore their ancestral property. As a result, before the army left the land, Liu Zhiyuan took the lead.

Seeing the thing he got was taken away, Li Jing felt so angry that he greeted Liu Zhiyuan's ancestors for the eighteen generations. However, he was very aware that the power of the Southern Tang Dynasty was weak and that he was not Liu Zhiyuan's opponent by himself. However, on the other hand, he was unwilling to give up the great opportunity to enter the Central Plains. What should he do?

After thinking about it, Li Jing thought of the Khitan who was separated from the Southern Tang Dynasty and looked at the Central Plains. So he sent someone to come to Yelu Ruan for becoming the Khitan emperor under the guise of congratulating Yelu Ruan on becoming the Khitan emperor to discuss the situation of attacking the north and the south to destroy the Later Han.

Yelu Ruan was worried about finding some reason to go south. The arrival of the Southern Tang envoy helped him get rid of his worries. He was so happy that he had already seen his army heading south, and his power was unstoppable. So he immediately convened a meeting of chiefs of various tribes to discuss the matter of going south to fight against the Later Han.

Unexpectedly, most of the chiefs of the tribes did not agree with the southern expedition. Yelu Ruan was depressed now. He was not lucky enough to find a dragon to shoot, nor did he have the luck of his uncle Yelu Deguang. When he met an "old son" like Shi Jingtang, he gave him a big gift package as a pass. In desperation, he had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​carrying troops from all over the country to the south.

But Yelu Ruan's dream of making achievements was too firm. Nanzheng's proposal was rejected. In anger, he simply took the opportunity to travel around Youzhou with a large army. Sometimes he sent some cavalry, sometimes he led his troops to conquer the Central Plains from time to time, trying to wait for an opportunity to fight on a large scale.

At this time, Liu Zhiyuan had passed away. After Yelu Ruan learned about it, she became even more unscrupulous and even let her cavalry go deep into Beizhou, Wei Bo and other places in Hebei to burn, kill and loot.

The military governors and governors of the vassal states in the Central Plains closed the city gates, and none of them dared to fight against the Khitan. When the news reached Kaifeng, the Later Han emperor Liu Chengyou was extremely furious and immediately sent Prime Minister Guo Wei to lead the army to Wei Bo to defend against the Khitan.

As soon as Guo Wei left, a huge change occurred in Kaifeng. Liu Chengyou was worried that the assistant ministers around him were too powerful, and finally caused a stir to "use the emperor to command the princes", so the Liu family's world had to change their surnames, so he simply took the initiative and ordered the execution of a large number of assistant ministers, even Guo Wei was on the "blacklist".

When Guo Wei heard about it, he was furious and immediately led his troops to Kaifeng under the banner of killing the traitors and clearing the king's side.

Liu Chengyou didn't have much ability at first, but now when he saw Guo Wei leading his troops to attack and open the seal, he was really dangerous. He was stunned and fled in a hurry, and was finally killed by the rioters.

Guo Wei is a smart man. Although he also wants to be an emperor, he knows that he has a humble background. In this era when family background is important, it is probably difficult to convince the public. So he chose the youngest child in the Liu family, Liu Yun, the son of Liu Zhiyuan's younger brother Liu Chong.

However, before Liu Yun officially ascended the throne and became emperor, the news that Yelu Ruan attacked Hebei again spread to Kaifeng. Guo Wei did not dare to neglect and immediately rested his troops and prepared to lead his troops north to fight.

After the soldiers crossed the Yellow River, one day, the soldiers came to Guo Wei's house and unanimously stated that the emperor must be made by Guo Wei. The soldiers had already formed a grudge with the Liu family and could no longer make them emperor. While speaking, the soldiers tear apart a yellow flag and put it on Guo Wei, and then shouted long live.

Of course, Guo Wei was overjoyed and after he was half-super, he pretended to accept it reluctantly.

Liu Chong was not happy now. Originally, when his brother died, his nephew Liu Chengyou inherited the throne, and the power fell into the hands of Guo Wei and others, he was very unhappy. Later, Guo Wei led his troops to attack and opened the seal and killed Liu Chengyou. He couldn't sit still and wanted to lead his troops to live and die with Guo Wei.

However, before he could set off, Guo Wei said that his son Liu Yun would be the emperor. He felt that at least the throne was still from their Liu family, so he stopped temporarily. However, he did not expect that before the throne ceremony was held, Guo Wei became the emperor himself, established the Later Zhou Dynasty, and even killed his son.

Liu Chong was very unwilling to let the Liu family's ancestral property be stolen by Guo Wei, so half a month after Guo Wei became emperor, he also became emperor in Taiyuan, and the country's name was still Han, that is, Northern Han.

The angry Liu Chong immediately rushed south to attack Guo Wei. As a result, after several wars, Liu Chong returned in disgrace. It seemed that it would take not long before he would be buried under Guo Wei's sword, and Liu Chong was desperate.

At this time, any straw may become Liu Chong's hope, so the name "Kitan" came to Liu Chong's mind with a sacred and beautiful halo. Liu Chong, who was on the verge of despair, immediately saw the light and immediately sent someone to ask for help from Kitan.

Yelu Ruan was traveling in the southern territory of Khitan, looking at the vast land in the south, feeling both annoyed and entangled, but she was suffering from no reason to go south. In order to pass the time and to vent her resentment, he had to continue to lead troops to harass her if she had anything to do, and plunder the Hebei territory. The envoy sent by Liu Chong arrived at this time with colorful clouds.

After learning about the situation in the Central Plains, Yelu Ruan suppressed his inner surprise and joy and forced himself to calm down. So, after calming down, he decided to follow his uncle Yelu Deguang and seize the opportunity to discuss the conditions with Liu Chong. In order to prompt Liu Chong to agree to his conditions, he simply told Liu Chong about the fact that Guo Wei and the Khitan had formed a friendship, saying that he was in a difficult position to help.

Liu Chongzheng was furious and waited for the Khitan army to rescue him in the fire and water every day. However, he did not expect that the news that Yelu Ruan was struggling to help him was immediately anxious and wanted to kneel in front of Yelu Ruan and beg his grandfather to sue him.

Suddenly, his inspiration flashed and he thought of Shi Jingtang. It was Shi Jingtang who recognized Yelu Deguang as his father that he received the support of the Khitan army and was able to take over Kaifeng and call himself emperor and king. Why didn’t he follow Shi Jingtang?

So, Liu Chong also respectfully wrote a letter to recognize his confidant, calling Yelu Ruan "Emperor Shu" and himself "Emperor Nephew", saying that from now on, he served the Khitan as a minister and requested the Khitan to send troops to provide assistance.

After reading the letter, Yelu Ruan was very happy. She felt that this was exactly the same as the story of his uncle Yelu Deguang and Shi Jingtang back then, and it was a good omen. She thought that the Khitan was about to regain the Central Plains, so she agreed to Liu Chong's request with the flow.

At this moment, Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty sent someone to discuss with Yelu Ruan about the matter of helping the Northern Han and attacking the Later Zhou Dynasty. When Yelu Ruan saw that even the Southern Tang Dynasty had to help, she couldn't help but feel more confident and immediately summoned the chiefs of the tribes to hold a meeting to discuss the matter of the Southern Expedition.

At this time, under pressure, Yelu Ruan had already established the Shulu family as the queen. The Shulu family was very satisfied with this and stopped singing opposite to Yelu Ruan. When the other chiefs saw that even the Shulu family agreed, they naturally agreed.

Yelu Ruan was in a good mood and immediately ordered the chiefs of the tribes to lead their troops to the Huoshen Dian in Xianggu Mountain in Guihua Prefecture (that is, today's Xuanhua, Hebei) to meet, and prepare to go south with great momentum to help the Northern Han seize the Central Plains regime!

(When Yelu Ruan led his army south to loot Hebei, one day, the Khitan army was burning, killing, and lunar eclipse suddenly occurred. The Khitans believed in shamanism and believed in the existence of ghosts and gods, so they suddenly saw that the moon was gone, and the sky suddenly became dark. They thought that their actions angered the gods, and they were all very scared. Yelu Ruan was no exception and hurriedly brought his generals to the north.

After returning to the Khitan Nanjing, Yelu Ruan was still shocked and felt that his behavior of southern plundering angered the gods. If he continued, he would definitely be punished by heaven, so he wanted to take the initiative to negotiate peace with the Later Han. At this time, Guo Wei had already destroyed the Later Han and established the Later Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, Yelu Ruan's messenger sent a letter to Guo Wei. Guo Wei immediately sent someone to establish a good relationship with the Khitan, but unexpectedly, Yelu Ruan wanted to take advantage of the situation and put forward various additional requests. In the end, the peace talks failed. Yelu Ruan seized Guo Wei's messenger. Not long after, Liu Chong sent someone to ask Yelu Ruan for help, and Yelu Ruan used the conditions for this peace talks as bait to lure Liu Chong to submit a letter.)

When Yelu Ruan arrived at Huoshendian, the troops of all the troops had not arrived yet. Yelu Ruan had to set up camp on the spot, happily drinking and having fun with his subordinates, while waiting for the troops of all the troops, and discussing the southern expedition, as if the Central Plains had already been his belongings.

Just when Yelu Ruan was excited to finally achieve her grand ambitions, a man had already raised his butcher knife to him silently.

This person is called Yelu Chache, and he is the son of Yelu Anrui, the younger brother of Yelu Abaoji.

Yelu Chache was very shy when he was a child, not talkative, and always looked cowardly and bullied, but he was very cruel and cunning inside.

His disguise did not hide from Yelu Abaoji's eyes. Once, Yelu Chache followed his father's order and went to Yelu Abaoji to report his work. After the end, as soon as he left, Abaoji said to the guards beside him: "This man's eyes are like a hunchback and his face is reversed. Don't let him enter my room when I am alone." It is precisely because of this that Abaoji has never given him any substantial work.

Yelu Chache basically existed in obscurity in the first half of his life, without any chance of prosperity, and without any possibility of causing trouble. It was not until Yelu Deguang drove the crane and traveled to the immortals that he truly cleared the clouds and mists and saw the light of the sky.

At that time, Yelu Chache's father Yelu Anrui was struggling to turn to Shuluping or Yelu Ruan. Yelu Chache analyzed the situation for his father. He told his father that Li Hu was cruel and cruel. If he was let to be the emperor, they might be afraid that their father and son would have to live in dire straits and heat. They could only be careful every day, walking on thin ice, but if Yelu Ruan became the emperor, it would be different. Yelu Ruan was generous and kind, and should not treat them badly.

Yelu Anrui felt that his son's words were very reasonable, so he followed his son's advice and surrendered to Yelu Ruan. As a result, Yelu Ruan eventually inherited the throne, and Yelu Anrui was named King of Ming, and Yelu Cha was also named King of Taining.

Yelu Abaoji was indeed not wrong. Yelu Chache not only had a rebellious face, but also had a lot of rebellion plans. It was too easy to reach the sky in one step, which made Yelu Chache become fluttering and unable to help but want to be higher. But he has been crowned kings and marquis, how high can he be? In the end, he set his sight on Yelu Ruan's dragon throne.

Yelu Chachou also knew that this dragon throne was not easy to do, especially when Yelu Ruan ascended the throne, he had fought with Shu Luping at the beginning, and then suppressed the rebellion of Yelu Tiande, Xiao Han and others. At this time, Yelu Ruan was very alert. If there was any slight disturbance, the plants and trees would be full of soldiers.

So Yelu Cha gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and decided to come to the scene to repair the plank road and secretly travel to Chencang, first gaining Yelu Ruan's trust, and then wait for an opportunity to get rid of Yelu Ruan.

He first sent someone to beat Yelu Ruan to report to Yelu Ruan for his father Yelu Anrui, and then pretended that the report was discovered by his father, hoping that Yelu Ruan could save him from the fire and fire. Yelu Ruan was moved by his actions of destroying his relatives for justice, so he left him by his side and became the leader of the female Shi Lie Army he personally took charge of.

In this way, Yelu Chache could wander around Yelu Ruan if he had something to do. To be on the safe side, he continued to make a report from his father, and at the same time tried his best to please Yelu Ruan, making Yelu Ruan so happy that he trusted him more and more.

Once, Yelu Ruan went out to hunt. Yelu Cha felt that the time was coming, so he lied that he had sprained his wrist and could not get the bow and arrow, so he only took a chain hammer and followed Yelu Ruan, trying to take advantage of Yelu Ruan's inattention. Unfortunately, he never found an opportunity.

Yelu Cha had no choice but to take action at night, so he secretly moved his tent to Yelu Ruan's big tent, but was discovered by Yelu Wuzhi.

Yelu Wuzhi saw Yelu Cha's stolen tents and asked his soldiers to prepare for alert. He felt very suspicious, so he reported the matter to Yelu Ruan, saying that Yelu Cha's intentions were ill-intentions.

Yelu Ruan first got rid of his grandmother who had been in power all his life, quelled the civil strife, and also attacked the Shulu family. He was so gloomy that he didn't know why, and felt that he was invincible in the world. Secondly, he was very confident in his ability to look at people, and naturally, he trusted Yelu Chache very much.

Therefore, when Yelu Cha cut his nose and cried with tears and complained that he was wronged and that his loyalty to Yelu Ruan was shocked by the moon. Yelu Wuzhi must have been jealous of him and framed him, Yelu Ruan was moved without hesitation and completely forgot that Yelu Liu Ge, who had rebelled before, had also used this trick. Not only did he choose to trust Yelu Cha cut his 12% position, but he also patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Afterwards, Yelu Chache tried to murder Yelu Ruan several times, but he had no chance to find a good opportunity for the right time, place and people. This delay was delayed until Yelu Ruan wanted to lead his troops south to aid the Northern Han.

At this time, Yelu Ruan's army was stationed in Huoshendian. Before the troops arrived, Yelu Chache felt that the opportunity had come.
