In September of the third year of the maiden voyage, Zhang Yanze defeated the Khitan again in Dingzhou, killing more than 2,000 people and making great contributions again.
Although Zhang Yanze had a bad reputation in the past, after these wars, people thought that he had repented and turned over a new leaf, and became a loyal minister who devoted himself to serving the court, and praised him. But how can a person change his nature so easily? In the winter of 946, when the Khitan army invaded the south for the third time, Zhang Yanze still failed to hold his ground. He was successfully unified by Yeludeguang and began to betray his dynasty.
1 1 At the end of June, Du Zhongwei, commander-in-chief of the Northern Line Battalion, planned to lead troops to retreat to Weizhou to defend Weizhou. At this time, Zhang Yanze began to make mistakes. He lied that there were few enemy troops in Hengzhou and lobbied Du Zhongwei to transfer troops. Later, Du Zhongwei was lured to the throne of the Central Plains. Du Zhongwei thought that such a good thing could be done without a single soldier, so he simply followed suit and led 200 thousand troops to surrender without a fight.
After taking the first step, you can never go back. In order to please the new owner, Zhang Yanze took the initiative to attack, and Shuai Jun entered the late Jin Dynasty.
Zhang Yanze, who betrayed his former master and served the new master instead, thought that the new master would wait for him because of his achievements, thinking that his days of prosperity were coming. But he thinks too much. A king is disdainful of such a man who is proud of betrayal. He can betray his old master, and one day he will betray himself, which Yeludeguang can see clearly.
Although Zhang Yanze writes on his own flag wherever he goes, he is always thinking about it. Four characters, loyal to the new main table everywhere, can't change his ending.
Ye Ludeguang arrested Zhang Yanze as soon as he entered Beijing. Without the permission of the new owner of the Khitan, Zhang Yanze ransacked the property and people of the Houjin Palace without authorization, and also occupied the concubines in the palace. How can Yeludeguang tolerate his publicity?
Gao Xun accused Zhang Yanze of killing innocent people, and the people also accused him of his crimes.
This just gave Ye Ludeguang a good reason to kill Zhang Yanze, to stabilize the people's hearts, and to go out with a time bomb. Why not?
Ye Luduang made its capital, with the title of Liao, and became Emperor Taizong of Liao.
