The military physique of the Liao State, Yelu's precautions
Yelu Longxu didn't say it at this time, at this moment, he himself was also urgently recruiting all the soldiers, and Yelu Longxu at this moment was also looking at the Daliao warriors, looking at his Yelu Longxu's expression at this time, it was also clearly expressed. This time, Yeluron is going to take them to make a career again? When the Song Dynasty encountered such a terrible opponent, it was also eight lifetimes of blood mold, and the most powerful person in the Khitan was none other than Yelu Longxu, the emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom, and his scheming was terrible.
About Jerylon's continued use of arms. Throughout history, dynasties had their own systems of administration, which were mainly used by dynasties. However, the system of the Central Plains Dynasty is basic, and the system built by the northern nomadic tribes, in addition to the institutional foundation of the Central Plains Dynasty, also combines the characteristics of the nomadic tribes to make the military system more suitable for rule.
As an important dynasty in the north of our country, the ancient Khitan Daliao has a very important position in the history of our country, although the culture of the dynasty is not as advanced as that of the Song Dynasty, but it has laid the foundation for our country's effective rule in the north.

The system of the Liao State was different from that of the Song Dynasty, but although its system had its weaknesses, its advanced nature was stronger than that of the Song Dynasty. In particular, the military system of the Liao State contributed to the consolidation of the rule of the Liao State.
First, a unique military system.
The military system of the Liao State was very complex, and it was a process of dynamic and continuous development. After studying the military system of the Liao State, it is found that the military system of the Liao State is roughly divided into three stages, one is the beginning of the establishment of the Liao State by Yelu Abaoji, the second is the early stage of the establishment of the Liao State, and the third is the middle period of the Liao State.
The military system of the Liao State also corresponds to its "one country, two systems", and the military is in charge of the Northern Privy Council, which is the highest military command body of the Liao State, and is ordered by the emperor to manage the military affairs of the whole country. The Southern Privy Council was mainly responsible for the auxiliary institutions of the Southern Officials, but this body did not manage and command the Han army, mainly to prevent the independence of the Han army.

Liao has also set up major border defense military regions throughout the country and divided military and political organs. The border defense agencies set up in the border region are called the Recruitment Department and the Detailed Stability Division, and the main ones are the Southwest Road Recruitment Division, the Northwest Road Recruitment Division, the Northeast Military Coordination Division, and the Tokyo Military Coordination Division, which respectively manage affairs in different directions.
The Liao military mainly has the Su Guard Army, the tribal army, the Han Army, the Bohai Navy, the subordinate army and other types, the Liao royal family pays attention to the construction of the Su Guard, which can not only defend the royal family but also go into battle, but in the later period of the Liao State, the Liao State conquest is mainly based on the border guards and tribal armies.

Third, a solid border system.
Liao's border defense system is very characteristic and has undergone many changes, mainly based on the situation in Liao's border areas. Liao's border defense system is based on stable border households, and the method of integrating soldiers and the people is implemented. Some of the border guards are stationed far from the border, while others are close to the border, and they are mainly set up according to the situation of the border defense.
After the alliance between Song and Liao, the pressure on the Song-Liao border was reduced, and the Liao mainly strengthened the border defense construction in the Mobei and Western Regions, and built fixed castles, which had important military uses, not local administrative units, and were mainly composed of tribal armies. According to the "History of Liao", "more than 20,000 cavalry of various tribes were selected to fill the tun army, specifically defend the royal chamber, Yuju and other countries, and where there is a conquest, it shall not be removed", stipulating the system of border guards, as long as there is a war, it will be used. In peacetime, no matter what happened in Liao, without the emperor's order, these border guards insisted on being on standby.

After the establishment of the border guard system of Liao, where does the logistical support come from? In addition to borrowing from the Central Plains system, the Liao State also combined the nomadic characteristics of the Liao State. The border guards are mainly households, and they usually work in the fields and herds. The Liao State also encouraged the garrison army to be self-sufficient in the fields and established the "public land system". According to the records of Liao History: "Tuntian garrisons were placed along the border, and Yitian Jigu was used to pay the army...... Those who work hard in the tun do not lose taxes, and this public land system is also." During the Chongxi period, Yelu Tanggu was ordered to "persuade the superintendent to cultivate the crops for the Western Army, and the fields are on the side of the Yuqu River". These measures of Liaoguo will solve the problem of border stability.

The border guards could not be moved casually in peacetime, and if a war occurred, the emperor would order them to be ready, but would not use border soldiers in non-combat directions. Even when mobilizing troops, there is a special regime. There is a special military talisman in the Liao State called the goldfish talisman, which is an order to mobilize military horses. There is also a silver medal that conveys the order first. When the war breaks out, the Minister of Frontier will summon the army and horses to stand by, and if the Emperor's goldfish talisman arrives and can fit in his hand, he will be ready to go on the expedition. But conformity is not an end in itself, it is just a step to verify authenticity. The commander-in-chief commanded the battle by someone appointed by the emperor himself.
Third, the source of the dynasty's life.
Although Liao's special military system and stable border defense system are prone to the weakness of different branches of the armed forces and different personnel, there is a lack of coordination. This was found in the Liaojin War. Jin fought Liao, but Liao only fought with the participating troops, and did not mobilize other border troops.
During the time of Emperor Tianzuo, the Liao State was almost at the time of destruction and destruction. Yelu Dashi, the imperial family in the court, once set up another emperor because Emperor Tianzuo ran to the mountains and did not find it. After Emperor Tianzuo returned, Yelu Dashi was afraid that Emperor Tianzuo would hurt him, but he also saw that the Liao State was irretrievable, so he led more than 200 guards to flee west.

In the process of fleeing westward, Yelu Dashi continued to gather the border troops of the Liao State and strengthened his strength. The reason why Yelu Dashi was able to co-opt these people was mainly because the system of the Liao State worked. As an important minister in the court, Yelu Dashi was able to use the status of the imperial family and the reality of the destruction of the Liao State to awaken the border guards to revive the Liao State with him. Of course, Yelu Dashi must have the Liao State Troop Fish Talisman in his hand.
After Yelu Dashi arrived in the Western Regions, through his continuous expeditions, he realized the northward leap to the west, renewed the life of the Liao State, and became a powerful empire in Central Asia, and Europeans also knew the name of Yelu Dashi. The 88 years of the Western Liao Kingdom not only wrote a stroke in the history of China's western territory, but also extended the life of the Liao State for 88 years. This is also Yelu Long's continued series of reforms to the Liao Dynasty system, and now it is impossible to transfer troops without Yelu Longxu's order, and now Yelulong continues to mobilize a large army, and he also intends to hit the Song soldiers by surprise, this time he Yelu Longxu is thinking about how to attack Chang'an next.
The reason why Luoyang is not considered is because Luoyang is the western capital of the Song Dynasty, and also because the main forces of the Great Song Dynasty are concentrated in the Luoyang area, this time Yelu Longxu wants to take advantage of the opportunity to invade the Great Song Dynasty. Is the real show just beginning?
