Yelu Deguang did fulfill his promise to the people of Kaifeng, but he plunged the whole of Henan into greater tyranny. Just like Huang Chao was used to being a rogue bandit and conquered Chang'an, he could not change his true nature as a rogue bandit, and the Khitan people were used to fighting Caogu and they could not change it.

of.

If Shi Chonggui was robbing the people, what the Khitans did in Henan was a typical three-guang policy. From Kaifeng to Luoyang, it was almost a white field.

The Central Plains has been war-torn for a long time and the people have strong customs. How can they stand this? Faced with the atrocities of the Khitans, the soldiers and people in various places resisted tenaciously and uprisings continued. "Godson" Liu Zhiyuan could not wait to proclaim himself emperor in Taiyuan.

When Yelu Deguang saw that the name of the year had been changed in vain, and that the Khitan and the Central Plains could not "Datong", he quickly packed up his things and ran away. Before he could return to the grassland, he died of illness on the way to kill Hu Lin.

Liu Zhiyuan was Shi Jingtang's confidant and served as the governor of Hedong. Although he was also from Shatuo, he had much more backbone than Shi Jingtang. He was very opposed to Shi Jingtang's traitorous behavior from the beginning. Perhaps deep down in his heart, he must have feelings for Shi Jingtang.

How shameless.

However, during Shi Jingtang's reign, Liu Zhiyuan was also loyal to the Later Jin Dynasty. Facing the Khitan invasion, Hedong Town also fought hard to resist. After Yelu Deguang entered Kaifeng, many military governors came to worship him, and many people recognized Yelu Deguang.

Be a godfather.

Only Liu Zhiyuan only sent one of his men to Kaifeng to express his surrender. Yelu Deguang did not shout to kill Liu Zhiyuan. After all, his new foothold in the Central Plains was not stable, and Hedong was a tough guy. He had fought against the Khitans in the past, but he wanted to kill him.

It's better to win over them.

For this reason, Yelu Deguang gave Liu Zhiyuan a walking stick. It is estimated that this walking stick is roughly equivalent to the Shangfang sword among the Khitan people. In short, it is very noble. In addition, he also called "Zhiyuan'er, Zhiyuan'er" kindly in the letter, and took the initiative to accept Liu Zhiyuan

Be a godson.

Aren’t you Central Plains people happy with this? You should be satisfied now, right?

It is estimated that Liu Zhiyuan was almost dying of grief, but he did not fall out with Yelu Deguang. He secretly continued to recruit the ministers and soldiers of the later Jin Dynasty who were unwilling to join Yelu Deguang to increase his strength. He knew that his opportunity was coming.

Yelu Deguang did not disappoint Liu Zhiyuan, but he got out of hand within two or three months. Liu Zhiyuan took the opportunity to proclaim himself emperor. He still used the country name of the Later Jin Dynasty and the reign name of the Later Jin Dynasty at the beginning. Naturally, he did this in order to be more precise.

Good united front.

Hearing that Yelu Deguang was scared away and died on the way, Liu Zhiyuan laughed so hard that he ordered his troops to prepare for war and prepare to go down the mountain to pick peaches. However, he was hesitant on the route of marching. Everyone thought that Hebei should be taken first.

That is to say, they entered Henan from the territory of Chengde and Wei Bojun.

Only his confidant Guo Wei believes that the Khitans are powerful in Hebei, and Chengde and Weibo are both thorns in the town. Once a fight is delayed for a long time, they may be overtaken by others. For example, the Southern Tang Dynasty at that time was more powerful and qualified than Liu Zhiyuan.

.

Finally, Liu Zhiyuan listened to Guo Wei's words and walked a long way to the Fenshui River. He traveled around the mountains and rivers without encountering any fierce resistance. He successfully took over Kaifeng and changed the name of the country to Han. It was called the Later Han in history. Unfortunately, he only took the throne for one year.
