The beautiful women in the capital were looted and distributed to the Khitans for their enjoyment. The 200,000 Han soldiers were furious but could not speak out, because when Du Chongwei surrendered with only 200,000 men, he had handed over millions of pieces of weapons, armor, and over 40,000 war horses to the Khitans. Now, these 200,000 Han soldiers were left unarmed.

Because the main force had returned with Wu Yu to fight for the throne, the Liao army actually numbered less than 3,000 in the city, while the Jin army that had surrendered from the Central Plains numbered a full 200,000. To conceal his true intentions, Bali De strictly ordered that military supplies be distributed according to the quota of 14,000 men. Any excess went into his own pocket.

He set up defenses everywhere against the Han army in the city. Not only did he prohibit them from carrying weapons, he also repeatedly laid off soldiers for no reason, and withheld the Han army's food and wages and forwarded them to the Liao army.

To prevent the Han people from escaping the city, he even ordered the Liao soldiers guarding the gate: "Any Han people who approach or peek at the city gate will be killed without mercy, to serve as a warning to others!"

The 200,000 Han troops were forced into a corner and had to cut wood into spears and besiege the Khitans.

Chongwei secretly sent envoys to the enemy camp to lay their secrets. The Khitan leader was delighted and promised to make him the emperor of the Central Plains. Chongwei, inexperienced and ignorant, believed him. One day, he hid his troops inside and summoned the generals to announce his intention to surrender. The generals were stunned.

Having changed their ways, the generals surrendered and submitted. They signed a letter of surrender, which they had Gao Xun, the envoy at the Central Gate, deliver to the enemy camp. The soldiers removed their armor and wept bitterly. That day, a thick fog rose over the surrendered troops. The Khitan leader sent Chongwei, wearing a red robe, to show the troops. He then falsely appointed him Grand Tutor, while Yedu remained under garrison control. The Khitan leader then marched south, ordering Chongwei's troops to lead the Jin army.

The Yue Family Army was so powerful, why didn't they send troops to rescue Yue Fei? Or why didn't they avenge Yue Fei? Did Yue Fei disband the Yue Family Army?

When Zhang Xueliang was under house arrest in Nanjing by Chiang Kai-shek, the 200,000-strong Northeast Army even discussed rescuing their young marshal. The young and vigorous faction even mistakenly killed their commander, General Wang Yizhe. Why did Yue Fei's army remain silent? How could Niu Gao and his men accept this?
