The rebellion of the Liao people in Yunzhong Prefecture is the prelude to the initial surrender of the Liao people.

After this, the Liao people rebelled occasionally.

Moreover, not all of them were the Khitans among the Liao people, the Xi people, the Bohai people, and even the Han people also rebelled.

Han'er was originally a name for Han people by ethnic minorities. For example, there is a poem in the Han Yuefu saying: "I am a barbarian and I don't understand the songs of Han children." There is also a poem in Tang poetry: "The Han'er all speaks of Hu'er, but scolds Han'er to the top of the city."

Initially, the word "Han'er" was synonymous with the Han people and had no meaning of praise or criticism.

After the Liao Kingdom obtained the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, especially during the confrontation between the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Song Dynasty, the name of the Han people who belonged to the two countries began to change.

The Liao people called the Han people in the Song Dynasty as the Southern people, and the Han people in the country as the Haner.

The Song people also called the Han people in the Liao Kingdom Han'er, and sometimes called them foreigners.

In short, the Liao, Song and later Jin dynasties all unanimously called Han'er the Han people in the Yanyun area.

This shows that Han'er has evolved into a special title with a contemptuous tone, and it also reflects that both Liao, Song and Jin dynasties have very distrustful of Han'er.

Because the Han Er did not trust them, the Liao, Song and later Jin, not only became increasingly isolated in national identity, but also had no fixed tendency in political attitudes. It was not as "facing to the Central Plains" as Zhao Ji, the monarch and ministers believed, but instead chose the side that was beneficial to them with interests as the center, and rebelled between Liao, Song and Jin, and had a very flexible political attitude.

Geng Shouzhong, the governor of Liao Zhang, was a Han Er.

When Yue Fei attacked Yingzhou, Geng Shouzhong saw that Yue Fei was invincible, so he led his soldiers to surrender decisively. He has been very obedient since then, and helped Zhang Xian attack various fortresses in Yingzhou and help Zhang Xian clear out the resistance forces of the Liao Kingdom in Yingzhou.

But because Emperor Tianzuo recently made a lot of noise in western Liaoning, Geng Shouzhong and others mistakenly thought that the Liao Kingdom was saved again, so they all rebelled one after another.

The rebellion was organized and disciplined. Geng Shouzhong and others set out from Yingzhou, Weizhou, Xinzhou and Wuzhou, and rushed straight to Yunzhong Prefecture.

The Military Intelligence Department, which had already placed suspicious forces among the Liao army, learned about the rebellion as soon as possible and reported their plans to Li Yan.

Li Yan handed the matter over to Han Shizhong and Yue Fei for resolution.

Han Shizhong and Yue Fei quickly made corresponding arrangements based on the complete information provided by the Military Intelligence Department.

Geng Shouzhong led his troops and the troops he contacted a total of 7,000 troops. As soon as he left Yingzhou, he was intercepted by Zhang Xian, who had been waiting for a long time.

Zhang Xianxian ordered his newly established horse army to attack the Liao army for a while, and the Liao army, which lacked horses, was beheaded more than a thousand.

Afterwards, Zhang Xian personally led a large army to fight against Geng Shouzhong. Zhang Xian personally led Li Daojun and Wang Xing to rush into Geng Shouzhong's central army. The other two battalions shot and killed the Liao army with powerful crossbows from both wings.

The two sides fought for more than two hours, and the Liao army was almost wiped out. Geng Shouzhong had no choice but to lead less than a hundred men to flee east on horseback.

At the same time, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Wang Yan and Yang Yi's central army attacked one after another, and wiped out all the remaining 30,000 Liao troops. In the end, no Liao army could reach the gathering point they had agreed to.

Although the rebellions of the Liao people were futile, because of the constant rebellion of the Liao people, Li Yan could not drive out the two troops of Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin who were wandering in Wuzhou and Xinzhou from Yundi. It was not that Li Yan did not have the strength, but Li Zhu and others suggested that Li Yan could not go to war with the Liao people at the same time and go to war with the Jin people, which would be difficult to end. Li Yan deeply agreed and did not go to war with the Jin people who were constantly sending envoys to negotiate.

Later, Xu Guanzhong and Lehe led Liu Minjun, Fang Xuedujun, Li Fengjun, Fang Layi army and the nearly 100,000 elite troops of Fang Layi army into the clouds.

At this time, the rebellion of the Liao people was basically completely suppressed.

However, Li Yan encountered new troubles and properly resettled Fang Layi's army.

Li Yan first ordered that the Jiefan Army, Han Shizhong Army, Yue Fei Army, Wu Jie Army, Liu Qi Army, Zhang Xianjun, Wang Yanjun, Liu Minjun, Fang Xuedu Army, and Li Feng Army each extracted three thousand elite troops, and formed another army with them as the skeleton. Fang Qifo was appointed as the commander, Zhang Xian, Wang Jun, Jie Yuan, and Lu Shinang were appointed as the commander of each commander, and Wang Sheng was appointed as the commander of the Fang Qifo Army.

It is not difficult to see from the newly formed Fang Qifu Army that Li Yan is preparing to expand the armies, that is, the first army is composed of the fourth battalion infantry and the three thousand horse army.

This is also impossible.

First of all, Li Yan cannot leave nearly 100,000 elite soldiers without using them. This is too wasteful, and if shelved for a long time, there will be changes.

Secondly, the Third Battalion Infantry sometimes cannot be stubborn and cannot fight big battles.

Again, Li Yan properly placed the Sixingfang, Li Tianrun, Fang Jie, Pang Wanchun, Lu Shinang, Yu Daoan, Qiu Rixin, Hu San, and Zhu Fourth Generals.

As for why not many armies were established, it was because there was no need. The twelve infantry troops were already sufficient, at least for now, and Li Yan did not have so many generals who could lead the first army.

With such an expansion, nearly 100,000 elite troops of the La Rebel Army were immediately digested by Li Yan, and the rest were temporarily used as civilians and continued to receive basic training and political education.

After the expansion of the army, Li Yan had:

The eleven infantry armies are: Jiefan Army, Han Shizhong Army, Yue Fei Army, Wu Jie Army, Liu Qi Army, Zhang Xianjun, Wang Yanjun, Liu Minjun, Fang Xuedu Army, Li Feng Army, and Fang Qifu Army. Each army is about 13,000, totaling about 150,000 people.

The seventeen horse army were: the First Battalion, Jiefan Horse Army, Tiefutu, Guaizi Zuojun, Guaizi Youjun, Khitan Military Control Leadership), Bohai Military Control Leadership, Xijun Control Leadership), and ten horse army scattered among the ten infantry including Yue Feijun, with a total of about 50,000 and 70,000 to 80,000 war horses.

In addition, the White Army reported to the confidential special forces, Shenji Army, Amphibious Army and other special forces, as well as the General Staff, Political Department, Intelligence Department, Medical Army, Communications Army and other special departments.

Li Yan now has a total of 240,000 regular soldiers.

At the same time, Li Yan has 60,000 to 70,000 elite reserves.

In addition, Li Yan was also recruiting troops in Yundi and preparing to recruit another 30,000 horse army reserves.

It can be said that Li Yan is now strong and powerful. If he does not consider the Song, Liao, Xixia, Goryeo and other countries, and Mongolian tribes, Li Yan can compete with the Jin Kingdom. After all, the Jin Kingdom has only more than 200,000 troops to die, and most of them must be Khitan soldiers, Bohai soldiers, Xi soldiers, Han soldiers and other miscellaneous soldiers.

At the end of April of the fourth year of Xuanhe, Emperor Tianzuo gathered 40,000 Mongolian troops and 30,000 Xixia troops out of Jiashan, crossed Yuyangling, and headed straight for the Tiande army...
