Dingzhou is located at the eastern foot of Taihang and the western edge of the Northern Hebei Plain. It is a choke point and a key area. Over the years, Dingzhou has played a very important supplementary role in the defense of Khitan, especially in the defense of Taihang.

Support Yizhou and clear out the Sanzao enemies coming from the direction of Yuzhou.

In the past ten years or so, it has been the Sun brothers who have dominated Dingzhou. As early as the battle between Shanxi and Liao, the situation in the north of Shijin was gradually becoming critical. Sun Fangjian took advantage of the situation and gathered the people to build a strong army.

, in order to protect oneself.

Later, when the Khitan army went south, he repeatedly led his subordinates to resist, invade, attack and kill, and achieved many gains. Of course, at that time, for Sun Fangjian, national justice, loyalty to the emperor and the country were secondary, protecting himself and seeking peace.

That's the main purpose.

However, Sun Fangjian was quite brave and courageous. He was not afraid of the Khitan troops at all, and he dared to take the initiative to stroke the tiger's beard and rob food, military supplies and other supplies.

Although it was a small fight, he finally got his reputation out. People around him, hearing of his reputation, often went to Langshan to rely on him. The Jin court also made him a border envoy to recruit troops and resist the Khitan.

. Later, Sun Fangjian took the initiative to go to the Jin court to advise on the strategy of defeating the Khitan. However, the result can be imagined. A small border wandering envoy was actually regarded as a bandit. How could he care about his thoughts and ideas?

suggestion.

Not getting the attention of the Jin court, Sun Fangjian became resentful and had an affair with the Khitan. At that time, the Khitan's focus was mainly on Shi Jin's northern imperial army. Although Sun Fangjian's "anti-Hu" team was not enough to disturb

, but there are also some who don't care, and also intend to bribe them to ease their troubles.

Of course, Sun Fangjian's strength was not very strong. When the number of people in the old Langshan camp was less than 10,000, the only people who dealt with it were the Khitans from Ding, Wei, and Yizhou.

Even so, with the not-so-powerful strength in his hands, Sun Fangjian accomplished many things, including attacking Guancheng, killing Hulu, and even led his men to break through Feihu Village in the north, making the traffic pass leading to Youyan short.

Time returns to the Central Plains Dynasty.

Until Yelu Deguang came to Kaifeng and established Daliao, he granted Sun Fangjian the title of Dingzhou Jiedu envoy. He changed the title to Yunzhou Jiedu and asked him to lead his people to move there. What kind of place was Yunzhou? It had been ceded to Khitan at that time.

Ten years later, it was still possible to go there, but Sun Fangjian directly stated that he would not serve him, and took his subordinates to retreat to Langshan to consolidate themselves and wait for the opportunity.

Later, as expected, he had an opportunity. Yelv Deguang's administration was evil, and the Central Plains military towns and people all fought back. Liu Zhiyuan, the great ancestor, took advantage of the situation and sent troops to the Central Plains to pick peaches, hunt deer, and seize the cauldron.

Sun Fangjian acted according to the situation. Especially after the Battle of Luancheng, the Hebei Khitan forces completely shrunk and retreated northward. He even led his army to regain the entire territory of Dingzhou, and once again successfully attacked Feihu Village, placing it under the control of the Han Dynasty.

Repeatedly, Liu Chengyou therefore reported to the imperial court and regarded it as the Dingzhou Festival.

Afterwards, Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, and Sun Fangjian was stationed in Dingzhou. He served as a governor and played many garrison roles. In the early Qianyou period, he cooperated with the Khitans in many battles.

The number of Khitan troops killed and wounded by Sun Fangjian was nearly 3,000. Although it was accumulated over many years and most of them were from Bohai and Xi people, their contribution to the direct battle against the Khitan was very great.

It was not until the seventh year of Qianyou that Sun Fangjian entered the court, surrendered power and returned to power, returned to Xijing, and died of illness soon after. After Sun Fangjian's death, Dingzhou Jiedu was abolished, and the court established a new Yongning Army, with Sun Xingyou as the military envoy, responsible for Dingzhou

and the defense of the flying fox.

Compared with his brother, Sun Xingyou was much mediocre, and his knowledge and ideas were much more ignorant. He was originally reckless, but following his brother's rise, he did many things that went beyond the rules, which led to the collapse of Dingzhou's military and government. Of course, this was also the legacy of the vassal town.

, due to failure to clean it up.

As for the evil nuns causing trouble, the root of it lies with his brother Sun Fang Jian. In his early years, Sun Fang Jian gathered many people in Langshan. In order to calm people's hearts, he used incense teachings to gather his followers, confuse and brainwash them. In the early days, it played a certain role.

In the third year of Qianyou's reign to "annihilate Buddhism", although there were actions in Dingzhou, they were mostly superficial and gave an explanation to the court, but in fact they were secretly maintained. Many people with deep Buddhist roots secretly went to Dingzhou to seek shelter from the Sun family's influence.

But in the following years, it gradually grew stronger and spread the teachings more and more rampantly without hiding it. People rushed to worship in an endless stream. When Sun Fangjian was there, he could still control it, but when Sun Xingyou waited, he couldn't control it.

In addition, others are also promoting the merits of his Sun family...

"You probably all understand the situation!" In the imperial tent, Liu Chengyou looked at Li Huan and Bai Zhongzan, and said slowly and calmly: "Tell me, how should we solve the Dingzhou matter?"

"Your Majesty, I must carry out strict rectification, clean up the bad government, withdraw military power, eliminate thieves and nuns, rectify demons, calm people's hearts, and restore stability to Dingzhou!" Li Huan immediately responded, one after another.

Hearing his words, Liu Chengyou just said: "This is exactly the effect I want to achieve, but how should I do it?"

Bai Chongzan was obviously thinking about this matter, and immediately said: "For the current plan, we need to capture Sun Xingyou as soon as possible, confiscate the military power, and control the state affairs to avoid disaster. After that, we can calmly solve the problem according to the imperial government's political system

, as long as the situation is under control, even if there is some turmoil, it will not be a big problem.

As he said, Sun Xingyou had the intention of leading the crowd back to Langshan to protect himself. Although he was foolish, he should not be careless. Once he really succeeded, the consequences would be unpredictable. Therefore, I believe that it is not too late to take decisive measures!

"

"This is what I mean!" Liu Chengyou smiled faintly and looked at Bai Chongzan: "I have to go to Bai Qing personally to control the situation!"

With that said, Liu Chengyou personally drafted an edict, sealed it, and gave it to Bai Chongzan: "Sun Xingyou is still in Tang County. Puyin is less than a hundred miles away from Tang County. If you arrive in the morning and evening, I will patrol with you and a thousand imperial troops."

Go there in the name of the prosecutor, take control of the government office, and summon your grandson Xingyou to come see me!"

"Shou Xin, please arrange some troops!" Liu Chengyou told Shi Shouxin again, and Li Huan ordered: "Li Qing, you go together and take over the civil affairs of Dingzhou, handle the necessary customs, and clear away all the evil spirits.

, I want to see a peaceful Dingzhou in the shortest possible time!"

"Yes!" Both responded.

"Your Majesty, Sun Xingyou has military power after all. If he resists by garrisoning troops..." Bai Chongzan expressed hesitation.

"Why, Bai Qing is afraid that he won't be able to win over Sun Xingyou?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"Dare you ask Your Majesty to clarify your decree!" Bai Chongzan looked serious.

"If he gathers his troops and resists in Yingcheng, it is considered a rebellion. If he is rebellious, he should be punished immediately!" Liu Chengyou gave Bai Chongzan a clear instruction coldly.

Then he looked at the detective officer of the Wude Department and ordered: "Go with General Bai and describe the military and political situation in Tang County in detail!"

"yes!"

...

The next day, before the morning light appeared, there was already movement in the camp, and the sky was bright. Bai Chongzan led the thousands of Longqi troops mobilized by Shi Shouxin to the west, marching lightly and quickly.

The capital of Dingzhou is Anxi County, located at the confluence of Tang River and Changxing River. There are two rivers in danger. However, before the Khitan retreated to the north, the city was burned down. After Sun Fangjian recovered it, it was just a ruin. He was reluctant to pay a large price for it. After reconstruction, he reported to the court and moved the prefecture to Tang County. After the imperial court abolished Dingzhou Jiedu, the prefecture was restored to Anxi, but Tang County was still the headquarters of the Yongning Army.

This made it easier for Bai Chongzan to move northwest along the Tang River and suddenly arrived at Tang County. In the name of inspection, he directly opened the city gate and entered the city.

At this time, Sun Xingyou was packing his bags in the mansion, and there was a busy scene. He was bare-chested and holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand. He was flashing it and panting. He didn't know whether he was hot or nervous.

Sun Xingyou is already in his fifties, but from the scolding sounds he makes from time to time, it can be seen that he is in good health and full of vitality.

"You idiots, you've been tidying up this little property for two days, but it's still not done!" Seeing a group of servants digging for green plants in the garden, Sun Xingyou couldn't help it, and stepped forward and kicked him: "What do you care about these flowers and plants?"

"Madam said that these flowers and plants were carefully cultivated by her and need to be brought along..." the servant responded fearfully.

Sun Xingyou had many women, and one of them he loved most was well-educated, courteous, and quite interesting. However, when Sun Xingyou heard this, he became very angry: "Ignorant woman, what do you know? Listen to me. , or should you listen to her? There are many flowers, plants and trees in Langshan, don’t worry about it, go and prepare my bedding and supplies..."

As the sun moved westward, the busyness in Sun's mansion continued. As subordinate officers hurriedly came to report that the imperial army had entered the city, Sun Xingyou's face suddenly turned pale, and his mind went blank, with only two words left: "It's over!"
