In order to consolidate its position, Liao, like other emperors, rejected alien forces. Ministers who had close ties with Liao Shizong were either dismissed or not reused. For example, his downfall made a great contribution to his succession to the throne, and the Liao people also promised him the position of king of the headquarters. However, because Lu Ye's fall always remembered Liao Sezong's kindness to him, Mu Zong was very unhappy and his promise to the king was put on hold. Mu Zong also ruthlessly suppressed those who dared to openly oppose him and rebel. Apart from repression, Mu Zong also forbids ministers to talk about state affairs at will. Many ministers were demoted and dismissed for talking about state affairs. Although Mu Zong quelled all these rebellions, he could not fundamentally put an end to such things. He failed to stop the last rebellion. As a result, after he was killed, Yeluxian, the second son of Sejong, won the throne, and the regime turned to a branch of Yelubi again, and it spread to the end of the Liao Dynasty.
In June 952, Mu Zong ascended the throne for less than a year. Cousin Xiaomei, who holds the political order, has to negotiate with Li Long, Bachelor of Zheng Xuan Hall, next week. Li Long wrote to his brother Li Tao, who was an official, the next day, saying that the monarch of the Khitan was not good, and he only knew how to drink and hunt, but he didn't have great ambitions. He suggested fighting again next week. Finally, the story came to light, Xiao Meigu was killed and Li Long was sentenced. Things just died down. In July, Lu Ye Louguo, the younger brother of Liao Sejong, wanted to stand on his own feet and was strangled by Mu Zong. His accomplice, Lu Ye, was executed that year.
In 953 10, Li Hu's son Yeluwan also came to compete for the throne, and his younger brother was involved, even Yeluwan, an important official of Sejong, was involved. As a result, Amber died in prison, others were executed, but his brother and Jeruvan were released. This is the same as his father Liao Taizong punishing his rebellious brother. Unlike the struggle between Han brothers, it is basically the result of killing.
1959 1 1 month, the fourth brother, the mastermind of the fierce enemy rebellion, was pacified. Like last time, others were killed, but the ferocity of the enemy was released. In order to warn people, Mu Zong also made a large-scale sacrifice to the ancestors of heaven and earth.
In July, 960, political affairs caused Lu Yeshou-yuan, Taibao Xiao Abu and others to rebel and were finally executed. Soon, in 10, Li Hu's son Lu Ye Yin Xi rebelled again. Mu Zong put Li Hu and his son in prison. During the reign of Mu Zong in Liao Dynasty, the southern regime was the late Zhou Dynasty and the most powerful dynasty in the Five Dynasties. The reform of the later Zhou Dynasty greatly increased the strength in all aspects. Zhou Shizong was a brilliant emperor in the Five Dynasties. However, Mu Zong is unstable and rebellious internally. He himself is an emperor who likes to drink and hunt, and he has achieved nothing. Such a war between the two countries is naturally obvious.
In February 954, shortly after Zhou Shizong ascended the throne, Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty wanted to take the opportunity to attack, thinking that he would definitely not send troops during the funeral period, so he asked Liao to send troops to help. The enemy of Mupai went to help Liu Chong, and asked the fighters 1 10,000 and 50,000 men who led the Ministry to send troops to attack the later Zhou Dynasty.
Zhou Shizong, regardless of Feng Dao's obstruction, decided to make a personal expedition. In March, the two armies fought fiercely in Gaoping (now Gaoping, Shanxi). Seeing the strict military discipline in the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Yang reminded Liu Chong not to underestimate his enemy, but Liu Chong didn't listen at all. On the contrary, Zhou Yang was very angry. He led the troops to one side to watch the battle. At first, the army of the Later Han Dynasty had some advantages, but under the supervision of Zhou Shizong and Zhao Kuangyin, the general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the army of the Later Zhou Dynasty reversed the situation and completely defeated the army of the Later Han Dynasty. In the last week, the army followed suit and almost wiped out Liu Chong. Because Zhou Yang didn't take part in the war, he led the army back to Liao.
In April, 959, after the great victory in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhou Shizong won fourteen states north of the Yangtze River in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and its national strength soared. He took advantage of the decline of Liao power in Mu Zong Dynasty and led a large-scale northern expedition, which won three passes.
The three customs are Yijinguan (now Baxian County, Hebei Province), Waqiaoguan (now Old Nanguan County, Xiongxian County, Hebei Province) and Yukouguan (now Baxian East, Hebei Province).
Han Tong was ordered to enter the territory of Liao from Cangzhou by waterway, and as a result, the Khitan secretariat king surrendered. Then, Han Tong and Zhao Kuangyin and other generals led the troops to go hand in hand, winning three passes in succession, almost all of which were obtained by accepting the surrender of Liao Shoujiang, without bloodshed.
Zhou Shizong can achieve great victory in a short time, which is mainly caused by the strength comparison of two aspects. An emperor is fatuous, and an emperor is brave. Xiao Ceng, the father of Queen Jing Zong, suggested recovering lost territory. On the other hand, Mu Zong thinks that these places were originally the places of the Han nationality, and they have nothing to regret when they take them back.
However, due to years of overwork, Zhou Shizong died of illness in the military camp. The next week, he quit the army and Mu Zong returned to Beijing. The future wars will be Liao and Northern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyin adopted the strategy of "south first and then north" on the issue of reunifying the north and south, and lost the good opportunity. When the south was pacified and the north was unified, Liao was no longer a weakness of Mu Zongshi, but a threat to Song.
