Zhao Chen and Wu Jie led thousands of soldiers and horses toward the front.

After a quarter of an hour, they came to the front of the town.

At this moment the army has surrounded this place round and round.

Because of the darkness, the town is quiet, only a few patrol villagers are active in the village.

The army outside was on a torch. When they saw the army outside, the villagers on the patrol were shocked. They ran back as fast as they could, banging the gong and shouting loudly!

Their shouts are not Chinese, but Khitan!

This small town is a small town of Khitan people, and all the Khitan people live in it!

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were originally the traditional territory of the Han people, like Yanjing, which was originally the capital of the Yan Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period! The Han people settled in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures two thousand years ago! Later, the Khitans acquired the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, and a large number of Khitans also moved here. Therefore, there are now a large number of Khitans here, and there are also many villages composed of pure Khitans like this.

Soon, the lights lit up in the town, and a loud noise came!

More than two hundred Khitan youths came outside with torches and weapons, but after seeing the number of troops outside, these Khitan youths were suddenly confused!

With a bang, they ran towards the village one after another. After a short while, the village returned to calm again.

Everyone turned off the lights in their homes, and countless Khitans hid in the most hidden part of their homes. They trembled, lest the army ransack the town.

"Go in and occupy all important strongholds!" Wu Jie said.

At the moment, more than two thousand soldiers rushed into the town, and they occupied all important road junctions and important buildings in the town.

At this time, Zhao Chen, Wu Yan and other talents entered the town.

The world has been in chaos over the years, but because this small town may be by the sea, there hasn't been much military disaster. It seems that the buildings in this small town are still very intact, and there is no sign of ruin in the small town.

"Go and find a few people!" Zhao Chen said.

The soldiers next to him immediately moved towards some surrounding courtyards.

Soon, horrified shouts came from the surrounding courtyard.

After a while, more than a dozen Khitans were pulled out, and they were brought to Zhao Chen and Wu Yan.

These dozen Khitans did not dare to look up to see who was standing in front of them. They had hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kept kowtow.

"Ask them where is this place?" Zhao Chen said.

An assistant next to him began to ask these Khitan people in Khitan dialect.

"Your Majesty, this is the most southern part of Jizhou. There is a Nanhe Village in the west. There used to be Jurchen soldiers stationed there, but now it is empty." The staff said.

"Ask them if they have seen our Han soldiers pass by here." Zhao Chen said.

The staff nodded.

"Your Majesty, our army passed by here two months ago! They didn't stay here, they went south to Cangzhou." The staff said.

"Your Majesty, to the south is Cangzhou, and to the west it is Bazhou, Xiongzhou, Baoding Army, etc.!" Wu Jie said on the side.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Hebei and Shandong were strategic points against the Khitans. The Bazhou, Xiongzhou, and Baoding Army were the first lines of defense established in the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhending Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion, and Hejian Mansion were the second lines of defense established in the Northern Song Dynasty. Handan and Daming Mansion were the third lines of defense. Up. Zhao Chen and others are now located south of Tianjin in later generations. It is almost a line with Hejian and Zhongshan. It is Cangzhou to the south and Dezhou to the southwest.

"Immediately send someone to inform the army generals in Jizhou, Cangzhou and other places, and let them send people to see me! Let me contact Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Li Xianzhong, Zhao Zhe and others, and let them report the situation in various places! The Jurchen people do not know that they are now. Where, is it in Hedong or Hebei? If they come to Hebei, I am afraid that Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others will also move east, send someone to contact them and let Yu Yunwen and others go to Yanjing City!" Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen came to the Sixteenth State of Yanyun from the south of the Yangtze River. The first thing to do now is to restructure the court and gather the main institutions and personnel of the court by his side, so that he can deal with the Sixteenth State of Yanyun. , The situation in all parts of the Central Plains! Like now, only Wu Jie, Wang Shu, etc. are next to him. There are also a few Zhang Jing from the Military Aircraft Department following him. He has no idea about the other conditions in the Sixteenth State of Yanyun and the Central Plains. It is like being unclear. , Now you must get in touch with each place first!

The dozen or so Khitans were still kneeling there, and their hearts were terrifying.

Some time ago, there was an army of Han people who passed by. Those army of Han people were so different that they did not invade them. They were all fortunate. Although it was also a Han army, they couldn't guarantee that the Han army in front of them would not be burned, killed, and looted, so they were very worried.

The Khitans and Hans are enemies of the world, and this hatred has lasted for almost two hundred years. They don't believe that the Hans will not take revenge!

Zhao Chen looked at the Khitan at his feet, with a faint smile on his face.

Once the Khitan people were the most powerful ethnic group in East Asia, and the Liao Kingdom was also the largest country in East Asia, and its national and military strength surpassed that of Song Dynasty! Whether it is Xixia, Goryeo, or some countries in Central Asia, Liao is respected as the sovereign state! In just two hundred years, the Liao people were the same as the previous dynasties in China. At the end of the dynasty, they no longer had the courage and force they once had. They were wiped out by Jurchen! Now, they are going to accept the rule of the Han people!

From now on, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun will once again belong to the Han people, and not only that, the vast grasslands in the north, the city groups such as Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Tokyo in the former Liao Kingdom will also belong to the Han people!

The Khitan people have stayed in Yanyun Sixteen Prefecture for nearly two hundred years. Before the Jurchen invasion, they were all aloof. They could enslave the Han, scold and insult the Han, they were the masters of the Han! Now the Han people have become the masters of this land, and they may not be able to accept this fact!

Zhao Chen can predict that countless Khitan resistance will inevitably occur in the sixteen states of Yanyun, which is a challenge for him.

Even if the Jurchens in the Central Plains are completely wiped out, then to stabilize the situation in Yanyun, stabilize the situation in the Central Plains, restore the prosperity of the Yanyun Sixteen States, and restore the prosperity of the Central Plains, these are challenges!

It can be said that in the future, he will face countless challenges!

"I have lived an easy life in Jiangnan for almost half a year, and now I come to Yanyun Sixteen States, and I will be full of challenges. This is the life I want! Before A Yao gives birth to a child for me, I will let Yan Cloud and Central Plains settle down!" Zhao Chen secretly said.

"Your Majesty, let's camp here and wait for news from Jizhou, Cangzhou and other places!" Wu Jie said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

At the moment, Wu Jie's army camped around the town, and Zhao Chen and others also lived in the camp.

By the early morning of the next day, Zhao Chen, Wu Jun, Wang Shu and others once again led a thousand soldiers to the town.

Relevant public temples exist in the town!

The belief in Guan Gong appeared in the Jin Dynasty, and has begun to flourish after the Song Dynasty! The statues of Guan Gong were placed in the yamen of the Song Dynasty. This tradition continued into later generations. In the 20th century, the Hong Kong police still worshiped Guan Gong! As for the underworld, let alone, Guan Erye is the incarnation of brothers' righteousness! Wherever the Han people went, Guan Gong belief was also brought to that place.

Now there is also a public temple in this small town of Khitan people.

At the moment Zhao Chen, Wu Jun, Wang Shu and others sat down in the Guan Gong Temple, and some people went to "invite" the respected Khitan people in the small town.

After a quarter of an hour, more than 20 Khitan people were pushed to the front of Guan Gong Temple.

These twenty-odd Khitan people immediately knelt down!

It was dark yesterday, and Zhao Chen did not "disturb" the Khitan people, but during the day today, he had nothing to do, so he was looking for these Khitan people to learn about the people's conditions in the Sixteenth State of Yanyun.

He looked at these Khitan people and saw that these Khitan people were all dressed in shabby clothes! There were originally landlords and rich peasants in any place, but the world was in chaos and the Jurchens did all evil. The original landlords and rich peasants in the sixteen states of Yanyun and all parts of the Central Plains have disappeared! Zhao Chen could see that these Khitan people were skinny, so they did not deliberately wear shabby clothes to deceive themselves.

"Come on, give a seat!" Zhao Chen said.

When the soldiers brought chairs, these Khitanese hesitated for a while and sat down.

The Khitan people lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look forward, but there was a Khitan who was more than 40 years old who was sneaking forward.

His head is lowered, but his eyes are desperately moving forward when people are not paying attention.

Finally, he saw Zhao Chen's appearance, and he didn't care too much in his heart, but he was stunned after a while, with a shocked expression on his entire face.

"Do you recognize me?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.

He had seen that person's small movements a long time ago, and he didn't care too much.

"No, I don't recognize it!" the man hurriedly said.

The staff next to him hadn't translated Zhao Chen's words into Khitan dialect, but Zhao Chen was taken aback when he opened his mouth to speak.

Because Han and Khitan people live together in the 16th prefecture of Yanyun, the Han people mostly speak the Khitan dialect, but there are not many Khitanese who can speak Chinese! Generally speaking, only the Khitan nobles will learn Chinese so as to deal with the Han people in the future.
