The Jin State lost nearly 500,000 troops in this war, and many generals surrendered to the Mongols, becoming Genghis Khan's wise men and cadres. Genghis Khan attacked the Jin State for the first time and achieved a huge victory, which caused the Jin State to suffer a heavy blow, and the whole court was terrified.

The Khitan and Jin originally belonged to two ethnic groups, the Jin belonged to the Tungusic Manchu language group and were the ancestors of the Manchu people today, while the Khitan people mainly belonged to the Mongolian people. Two centuries before the Jin occupation of Beijing, Beijing was occupied by the Khitans, whose ancestors were captured by the Khitans. Although the Khitans lost their control over Beijing, they lived in the Central Plains for three centuries.

The Khitans have almost completely been transformed into the Central Plains, but they still miss the glorious history of the past, are deeply dissatisfied with the status of their remnants, and always want to take revenge on the Jin Dynasty that destroyed their Khitan state. In this Meng-Jin war, the Jin State suffered a crushing defeat, and all the Khitans cheered for the victory of the Mongols, and showed a sense of schadenfreude over the loss of the Jin people. The cowardice and incompetence of the Jin people in the war deeply stimulated the rebellion buried in the hearts of the Khitan people, and produced an impulsive psychology that was eager to try.

At this moment, King Jin issued an order that each Khitan household should be inhabited by two Jurchen households, which immediately angered the Khitans. The Khitans who lived in Long'an, Hanzhou and other places in eastern Liaodong raised the banner of anti-Jin, supported Yeluliuge as the leader, and rebelled against the Jin country.

Yelu Liuge was originally the prince of the Khitan, he was one of the few princes who stayed in the Jin State after the fall of the Liao State, he was generous, righteous and helpful, and won the reverence of the Khitan remnants. In order to envelop Yeluliuge, the emperor of the Jin State gave him a small local official of a thousand households, and the whole family lived in the suburbs of Xianping, and his life was peaceful.

The Mongol army conquered the city and conquered the land successively, so that the Jin people suffered a crushing defeat, the king of Jin announced the order to prevent the Khitans from rebelling, Yelu Xingyu and Yelu Liuge after discussion, thought that the best time for the uprising had come, so in the county town where the Khitans lived in Long'an, announced a break with the Jin State, held high the banner of righteousness, and raised troops to resist the rule of the Jin State. After the news spread, in Hancheng and other places, in a short period of time, people who could not bear the bullying and oppression of the Jin people participated in the uprising together, and it soon grew to more than 100,000 people.

At this time, the Jin court was already very annoyed that he had raised troops against Jin, and heard that he had allied with the Mongols and took refuge in Genghis Khan, so he was even more resentful, and sent the general Hu Shahu to lead an army of 200,000 to suppress it. In order to confront the Jin soldiers, Yelu Liuge brought the rebel team to Xianping, proclaimed himself the king of Liao, and named Yelu Xingyu as a military advisor, actively reorganized the soldiers and horses, and waited for the arrival of the Jin army.

In order to support Yeluliuge's uprising and help him fight against Hushahu's army sent by the Jin army to suppress the Khitans, Genghis Khan sent his generals Li Duhuan and Aruduhan to lead 5,000 men and horses to attack Hushahu's team from the flank to cooperate with Yeluliuge's resistance to Jin. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Genghis Khan began the second gold raid.

This time, the troops were still divided into two routes, and the route of march was roughly the same as in the first expedition, but the commanders of the two armies were changed. Genghis Khan personally commanded the Western Route Army and rushed to Xijing, and the Eastern Route Army, led by Jebe, was directed towards Liaodong, with the main goal of capturing Tokyo of the Jin Dynasty.

Before sending troops, Genghis Khan convened a meeting of generals and think tanks, and there were two opinions on the route of sending troops, one was that they should concentrate their forces to besiege Zhongdu, the capital of the Jin Dynasty, and then carry out a strong attack, determined to capture Zhongdu. The other faction believes that the two wings of the central army should be attacked to disperse and consume the forces of the Jin State, so as to create favorable conditions for the future attack.

Genghis Khan adopted the second opinion, saying: "Now is not the time to destroy the kingdom of Jin. ”

Because he had already gained an experience from the first war of attacking Jin, he did not need to occupy the cities and lands of Jin, but only plundered a large number of property and population, and hollowed out this large country in the Central Plains again and again, until he was unable to resist and could only be captured.

Genghis Khan personally led the Western Route Army, crossed the Yinshan Mountains, fought all the way, attacked Huan, Chang, and Fu prefectures and counties again, and surrounded Xijing again.

The eldest son, Jochi, twice asked for a siege, but was reprimanded by Genghis Khan, who taught him in front of the generals: "To fight with soldiers, you must rely on strategy, and you can't rely on the courage of flesh and blood to fight hard with troops." ”

Genghis Khan left only a part of his troops to besiege the city, but he still surrounded but did not fight, but ambushed the main force in a mountain forest called Migu Mountain in the northeast and west of Xijing. Sure enough, after Xijing was surrounded by the Mongol army, the Marshal of the Jin State, Zuo Du Jian Ao Tunxiang, led 20,000 horses to aid Xijing, which happened to pass through the Migu Pass.

Genghis Khan gave an order, his 40,000 cavalry rushed out of the mountains and forests like heavenly soldiers and generals, surrounded the 20,000 horses of Otunxiang, and after less than an hour of fighting, all the supporting troops were annihilated.

After the generals made requests to siege the city, Genghis Khan began to order the army to attack the city, but in the face of the tall and strong city walls, the army lacked siege equipment, the defenders of the city resisted stubbornly, although the Mongol army fought bravely, but did not achieve good results, Genghis Khan was supervising the battle under the city, but was shot in the left arm by a stray arrow, and had to order the withdrawal of the siege.

The vast number of Mongolian soldiers gradually understood that their iron cavalry was only good at annihilating the enemy in field battles, and that they needed to use artillery and strategy to attack and break the city, otherwise they could only look at the city and sigh. When the general Tebabe attacked Tokyo, he felt that the walls were stronger than those of Saikyo and had to feign defeat and flee to a distance of 500 miles.

So the guard general in the city of Tokyo, Fu Chahan, thought that the Mongols were really defeated and fled, so he sent someone to Zhongdu to report the victory, and the emperor was naturally overjoyed, because the guard general of Xijing was loyal and had just been rewarded to the third rank of officials. In order to show his encouragement to the defenders of Tokyo, Emperor Yongji sent an envoy to Tokyo with a large amount of money and food to reward the soldiers.

When the Mongol detectives learned of this, they immediately reported that Jebe himself led a troop of men and horses in an ambush on the path of the edict and easily captured him. That night, Jebe led his men and horses to the outside of Tokyo to lay in ambush, and the next day he asked the Mongol soldiers to disguise themselves as envoys and come to the city to spread the word that the court had an order.

Jebe hurriedly led his men and horses, and rushed into the city after the messenger, but before he could wake up, his head had already been cut off by the Mongols. As a result, 100,000 gold soldiers in the city of Tokyo were captured and won a great victory in the siege. After this, Jebe sent his troops to plunder around Tokyo, and handed over the city to Jeruliugo, which became the seat of the new Liao king.

On the way back to the division, Jebe was encountering the remnants of the Jin general Hu Shahu, Hu Shahu was originally ordered by the King of Jin to lead the troops to suppress the Khitan Yeluliuge's uprising, but was attacked by Li Duhuan and Aru Duhan sent by Genghis Khan, and by the time Hu Shahu's army arrived at Xianping, half of the soldiers and horses had been lost.

Yeluliuge took advantage of Hushahu's unsteady footing, and immediately opened the gate of Xianping, led his angry rebel ranks, and rushed into the Jin soldiers with a shout. Due to the fatigue of the march, they had been hit by the Mongol army, and in the face of the rebellious Khitans, the Jin soldiers were immediately killed and scattered.

Hu Shahu's army had been battered along the way, and had long since lost the ability to fight, and abandoned countless baggage to the Mongol army and Yeluliuge, and he fled back to Zhongdu with only a few retinues. Genghis Khan's second expedition to Jin, although he was wounded by an arrow, still made great gains, not only plundered a large amount of property, but also wiped out the living forces in the Jin army, especially the capture of Tokyo by Jebe's Eastern Route Army, which was of great significance.

This is because Liaodong is the birthplace of the Jurchen nation, and successive Jin emperors have attached great importance to the peace and stability of this large rear. This time Tokyo was easily seized by Jebe, which greatly shocked the Jin court, especially the uprising of Yeluliuge, which caused the Khitan remnants in the land of Liaodong to respond, and they broke away from the Jin State and joined the Mongols, becoming a force to be reckoned with.

Yeluliuge proclaimed the king with the support of Mongolia, and named the country Liao, which was intended to call for the extinct Liao Dynasty, known as Eastern Liao in history, and set the capital in Xianping.

In order to show his gratitude to Genghis Khan, he rushed to Mongolia with his son Yelu Xueja and a gift of ninety carts of silver coins to visit Genghis Khan. At that time, among the many visitors, Genghis Khan arranged for Yeluliuge and his son to be the first to receive him, which shows the importance he attaches to him. During the meeting, Genghis Khan had a very speculative conversation with the king of Eastern Liao, and made an exception to order that the gifts contributed by Yeluliuge be displayed on the white felt in front of the Khan's court, and only after seven days of display were they put into the warehouse.

Genghis Khan gave Yeluliuge the Golden Tiger Talisman and still appointed him as the king of Liao, and the relationship between the two became closer. Soon Xianping came with news that "Yelu Xingyu does not kill the military advisor Yelu Xingyu, and calls himself the king of Liao." ”

Yeluliuge immediately resigned, and Genghis Khan sent Jiraqi with 3,000 men and horses to Xianping to help quell the rebellion, and said: "This army will remain with you and will be under your command." ”

Yeluliuge said goodbye to Genghis Khan with great gratitude, led the 3,000 men and horses, and rushed to Xianping in the starry night. It turned out that Yeluliuge's younger brother Yelu Sibujun Wang and the military advisor Yelu Xingyu fought for a woman, and they turned against each other.

This woman's name is Yu Liqi, she was originally the concubine of Xianping who stayed in Agutai, after Agutai died, Ma Gengyou got her into his hands, after Yelu Liuge's uprising, in order to avenge his son, daughter and daughter-in-law Liu Hui'er, who did not pass through the door, killed Ma Gengyou, and rewarded her to the military advisor Yelu Xingyu.

However, his younger brother Yelu coveted Yu Liqi's beauty for a long time, and he was jealous in his heart, and always wanted to find the military advisor Yelu Xingyu to provoke. Yelu Liuge became the queen, and in order to strengthen the defense force, he asked the military advisor Yelu Xingyu and his younger brother Yelu Bu to form an army, train soldiers and horses, and prepare to confront the army of the Jin State. Who knew that there was a disagreement, and the two went to Yelu Liuge many times, and the king of Liao had no choice but to separate them, and let Yelu Xingyu be responsible for infantry training, and Yelu Xingsi was not responsible for cavalry training.

This time, Yelu Liuge went to Mongolia to meet Genghis Khan, and asked the military advisor Yelu Xingyu to preside over all affairs in the national capital, so that Yelu Xingyu was not more dissatisfied, and he sent all his anger to the military advisor Yelu Xingyu.

After careful planning, the county king Yelusi did not send troops to surround the place of the military advisor Yelu Xingyu late one night, and tied him up under the pretext that he wanted to rebel, and was about to kill him, when Yao Lisi, the queen of the Liao king, suddenly came and did not dissuade the county king Yelus: "May I ask the county king, you said that Yelu Xingyu is going to rebel, is there any evidence?"

Yelus was not asked, but said, "The evidence is there, and I will definitely hand it over to him when the king brother returns." ”

Yao Lisi said to him: "Then please don't kill the military advisor for the time being, even if you should kill the crime, it's better to wait for the King of Liao to come back before killing it." ”

The king of the county said unhappily: "I have the final say when I kill him!"

Yao Lisi, the queen of the King of Liao, was also a woman with brains and insight, and she immediately said: "It's not appropriate for the king of the county to say this, right? Without conclusive evidence, he killed a minister, not to mention that the king of Liao is not in the country, how can this be done?"

However, the king of Yelu did not take the words of the queen Yao Lisi as one thing at all, and said arrogantly: "This is a major national matter, you women don't ask about it." ”

After speaking, he ordered his cronies: "Pull out Yelu Xingyu, who is plotting to rebel, out and put him to death!"

Queen Yao Lisi was so angry that she stepped forward to stop the executioners, trying to stop their actions, but Yelus said, "Tie up this woman too!"

After killing Yelu Xingyu, Yelu sent troops to surround the palace of Yelu Liuge, the king of Liao, and imprisoned his son and daughter with the empress Yao Lisi, and then proclaimed himself the king of Liao. Yelus did not kill all the people who supported Yeluliuge, and even the soldiers sent by Genghis Khan to aid the new Liao State, he did not believe it, but he killed more than 300 people, and the entire rebel team was torn apart and in chaos.
