(This chapter introduces the life of Yelu Dashi, the author accidentally wrote too much, everyone who is interested can take a look, and skip if you are not interested, so as not to hinder the reading later.) ）

In orthodox history, in the second year of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao, the Jin soldiers invaded south and conquered Zhongjing, and Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzuo did not dare to stay behind and fled west into the clouds.

Yelu Dashi stayed in Nanjing and was attacked by Jin and Song.

In order to calm the hearts of the people and insist on resistance, Dashi supported Yeluchun to ascend the throne and called Tianxi Emperor, and later called Northern Liao.

Yelu Chun appointed Yelu Dashi as the military commander and was responsible for guarding Nanjing (i.e., the capital of Nanjing Dao in the Liao State, later Beijing).

Dashi analyzed the situation at that time and decided to declare himself a minister to Jin and make peace with the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, the Northern Song monarchs and ministers thought that this was a good opportunity to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun and sent 200,000 troops to attack Nanjing.

Dashi led the army to meet the battle, defeated the Song army in the Baigou River, soon Yeluchun died of illness, his wife Xiao Defei regent, the Song soldiers came back to attack, a surprise attack on Nanjing City, in the street battle the Liao army won again, so that the soldiers' hearts were revived.

In April 1123, Yelu Dashi led an army to resist near Longmenbi in Fengsheng Prefecture and was captured, forcing the Jin soldiers to lead the way to attack Emperor Tianzuo's Qingzun camp.

After escaping from the Golden Camp, he defected to Emperor Tianzuo in September.

Concubine Xiao De returned to Tianzuo, and Emperor Tianzuo was angry, killed Concubine De and reproached Yelu Dashi and said: "I'm not dead yet, how dare you establish Yelu Chun?" ”

Jelu Dashi replied: "Your Majesty has the strength of the whole country, and he cannot stop the enemy, so he has abandoned the country and fled far away, causing the people to live in misery. Even if ten Yeluchun are established, they are all descendants of Taizu, wouldn't it be better to beg others to forgive their lives? ”

Emperor Tianzuo was speechless, gave him wine and food, and forgave his sins.

Emperor Tianzuo could not forgive Yelu Dashi for setting up another emperor without authorization, nor could he accept Dashi's opinion of "raising troops and waiting for time", which made Yelu Dashi deeply suspicious.

In the summer of 1124, when Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi was preparing to send troops to fight a decisive battle with Jin, Dashi killed Xiao Yixue and Po Likuo, and led 200 of his own soldiers to flee.

Establish yourself as king, and then lead your troops westward!

I walked north for three days, crossed the black water, and saw Bai Dada and stabilized the bed Gu'er.

He offered four hundred horses, twenty camels, and a number of sheep.

Traveling west to the city of Kedun, the garrison was in the Beiting Duhufu, gathering seven prefectures such as Weiwu, Chongde, Huifan, Xin, Dalin, Zihe, and Camel.

as well as Rhubarb, Murwei, Dira, Wang Jira, Cha Chira, Yexi, Nose Gude, Nira, Dara, Damiri, Mierji, Hezhu, Wuguli, Zubu, Pusuwan, Tanggu, Kumusi, Xidi, and the people of the eighteen kings.

He told them, "My ancestors have gone through hardships to create a great cause, and have gone through nine generations and two hundred years. As vassals, the Jin persecuted our country, slaughtered our people, and slaughtered and destroyed our cities. ”

"To make our Majesty Emperor Tianzuo flee outside, I am heartbroken day and night when I think of this."

"I am now traveling westward with righteousness, and I want to use the strength of the Tibetan tribe to destroy our enemies and restore our territory."

"Do you think about those who deplore our country, worry about our society, and think about rescuing our father and helping the people in their suffering?"

So he got more than 10,000 elite soldiers, set up officials, arranged armor, and prepared honor guards.

On the first day of February 1130, the green ox and white horse were sacrificed to the heavens and the earth and the ancestors, and the team marched westward.

First of all, he wrote to the Uighur king Bilge: "In the past, Emperor Taizu of our country sent an envoy to Ganzhou on his northern expedition through the city of Buguhan and issued an edict to your ancestor Wumu.

He said, "Do you miss your homeland, I will restore it for you immediately, are you worried that you can't go back, I already own this land." I have it, and you have it. ”

Your ancestors immediately expressed their gratitude, saying that the country had moved here for more than ten generations, and that the military and civilians were nostalgic for the existing king and did not want to move to another place, so I could not return to my homeland.

This shows that our country has been friendly with your country for many years.

Now I am going west to the Great Eclipse, and I will borrow the way from your country, and you must not be suspicious. ”

When he received the letter, he immediately went to the inn to greet him, feasted for three days, and before he left, he offered six hundred horses, one hundred camels, and three thousand sheep, and was willing to take his descendants as hostages and send them abroad.

Wherever they passed, they were defeated by the enemy, and pacified by the subjugation. On the march of thousands of miles, several nations were attached, and the camels, horses, cattle, sheep, and goods they obtained were innumerable. The army is getting stronger and the morale is getting higher and higher.

To Xun Sigan, the countries of the Western Regions jointly raised 100,000 troops, known as Kuershan, and came to resist the war.

The two armies were about two miles apart. Yelu Dashi told the soldiers: "Although the enemy army is numerous, but there is no plan, if you attack it, you will not be able to save each other, and our army will definitely win." ”

He sent Xiao Huli, the king of the Sixth Academy, and Yelu Songshan, the deputy envoy of the Sixth Academy, to lead 2,500 troops to attack his right flank.

The privy deputy envoy Xiao Ra Abu, the envoy Yelu Shuxue and others led 2,500 troops to attack its left flank.

Lead the crowd to attack the middle lane. The three armies attacked together, and Kuershan was defeated, and the corpse was ambushed for dozens of miles. The Dashi garrison was in Xunsigan for a total of 90 days, and returned to the king to surrender and contribute local products.

He traveled west to Qierman, and the civil and military officials set up Dashi as the emperor.

He ascended the throne on February 5, 1134, at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve and was called Geerhan.

He also presented the Han system with the honorific title of Emperor Tianyou, and changed the Yuan to Yanqing. His grandfather was Emperor Heiyuan, his grandmother was Empress Xuanyi, and Concubine Xiao was appointed Empress Zhaode.

So he said to the hundred officials: "I have traveled 30,000 miles with you, trekked through mountains and rivers across the desert, and traveled hard day and night. Relying on the blessing of my ancestors, you and the strength of others, I took the liberty of ascending to the throne. Your fathers and fathers should have mercy on the aftermath so that they can share in the glory. ”

The grandfathers and fathers of the forty-nine people below Xiao Lili had equal differences in titles.

In 1134, Ahmad Khan of the Eastern Qarakhanid State died, and his son Ibrahim Khan was unpopular, causing a rebellion among the Khamli and Qarluqs, and he was forced to invite Western Liao to send troops to help quell the rebellion.

Yelu Dashi quickly pacified Kangli and Qarluq, and reduced the Eastern Qarakhanid State to a vassal, ceding the northern part of its territory as a territory directly under the jurisdiction of Western Liao.

In that year, Yelu Dashi set its capital in Barasagon (now Kyrgyz Tanmak), and changed the year name to the first year of Kangguo.

In 1141, the control area of Western Liao stretched from Gaochang in the east to the Caspian Sea in the west, and became the overlord of Central Asia.

In 1143, Yelu Dashi died of illness at the age of fifty-seven, and the temple name was "Dezong".

It can be called a strong life that does not need to be explained!

Since he broke away from the control of Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao State, his life has been like a hanging, all the way to the west, basically without encountering decent resistance.
