Chapter 60: Role Model
Yelu Yu in Xijing City also couldn't sleep all night, Zhao Er returned to Texas on the third day he knew the way, and then the princess Yu Liyan and Xiao Chongxin said that they were going to Baishuiluo to escape the summer, he knew that Lu Dao was going to reunite with Zhao Er's husband and wife, but he pretended not to know, and respectfully sent them out of the city.
The departure of the two powerful figures in Xijing made Yelu Yu's heart itch, thinking that there were only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in the city guarding the palace and a brigade of the Kryu army, but there were more than 30,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, if he eliminated them, then he would be able to completely control Xijing City, and then control Xijing Road and rebuild Daliao.
At this moment, the news that the second prince of the Great Song Dynasty had become an immortal in the capital had already reached his ears, but he reappeared in Xijing, indicating that he had turned his back on the Great Song Dynasty, and there could only be one purpose when he returned here, that is, to take charge of the power of Xijing, establish himself as the king, and recruit the princess to go, it must be to discuss this matter, and the day he returned to Xijing City was the time when they were completely cut off from rebuilding Daliao.
If it was a year ago, Yelu Yu would never have given birth to this kind of self-reliance, but the news of a person made him want to move, this person is Yelu Dashi...
Regarding Yelu Dashi, we have to start from the eve of the fall of the Liao Kingdom a few years ago, his experience is really similar to Zhao Ta, but it is more difficult than him.
In the fourth year of Baoda, after Yelu Yanxi led his troops back from Yelu Dashi, he got the troops of Wei Moge of the Yinshan Chamber, claiming to be the help of heaven, contrary to the original escapism, and insisted on sending troops to recover Yanyun. Dashi resolutely opposed this risky move, and admonished: "It turns out that the whole division does not seek war preparation. At this point, the state affairs are reversed, and the decisive battle is sought. It's not the best policy. When the time comes, do not take it lightly. But Yelu Yanxi insisted on going her own way.
Yelu Dashi also understood at this moment that Yelu Yanxi had come to an end. It was impossible to accomplish the great cause of restoration, and it was out of his control. led 200 iron horsemen to leave the Jiashan camp overnight and go north. After that, his life was epic, and after three days he crossed the black water, and the White Tartar offered four hundred horses and twenty camels to finance the Jerod Stone, and he was replenished and then led his army northwest to the city of Kedun.
Kedun City is the location of the Zhenzhou of the Liao State, which is the residence of the Northwest Road Recruitment Division of the Liao Dynasty. The Jin army attacked Liao, marched south and west, and was invincible, but the northwest forces of the Liao Dynasty did not suffer losses. Oshishi convened a meeting of the governors of the seven states and the leaders of the eighteen tribes in the city of Kedun. At the meeting, Dashi delivered an important speech, which made people's blood boil and was very inflammatory, which can be listed as a classic:
"My ancestors had a hard time starting a business, nine masters in the past two hundred years. Jin is a subordinate, forcing my country and crippling my Li Shu. Tu Jian in my state, so that my Tianzuo Emperor was covered in dust, and he was heartbroken day and night. I am now fighting for righteousness and going west, and I want to take advantage of Zhufan. Conquer my enemies and restore my borders. However, the public also has a support for our country and worries about our society. Thinking about saving the monarch and helping the people in distress? "Yelu Dashi is tragic and passionate, worried about the country and the people. Reading between the lines. Under his inspiration, more than 10,000 elite soldiers were immediately gathered. 10,000 horses. The big stone placed officials, set up rows of armor, and had weapons, and the country began to take shape.
Yelu Dashi established a state in the city of Kedun, which was rich in livestock and thousands of miles away from the Jin Dynasty, and he implemented the strategy of Taoguang and Yanghui, and did not rashly take the initiative to attack the Jin State, but won over neighboring countries and tribes such as Western Xia to isolate the Jin Dynasty. Within a few years, he had gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and recaptured the second battalion of the Jin State in the north. This made the Jin Dynasty, which had always despised him, realize the seriousness of the problem and conscripted troops from the tribes to attack Dashi, but the tribes did not comply, and the conquest was abandoned halfway.
After several years of reunion, Yelu Dashi was determined to develop outward. He judged the situation and believed that although the restoration of his homeland in the old land of Daliao was his most desirable cause, the Jin Dynasty was on the rise in strength, and although its attack was abandoned halfway, it was impossible to compete with Jin for survival space here, at least in the near future; In Central Asia, the Gaochang Hui Dynasty and the Black Khan Dynasty had entered a period of decline, and there was much room for development. Therefore, he decided to open up westward, and when his wings were full, he would fight with the Jin Dynasty and restore the old frontier.
After that, Dashi sued the heavens and the earth and the ancestors with a white horse, and the whole army marched westward. Although the Liao army was not the opponent of the Jurchens, in Central Asia, the army of the Western Liao could be called "ten thousand miles can be rampant", and the Qarakhanid Dynasty also bowed down to the powerful blow of Yelu Dashi and became a vassal of the Western Liao.
After that, Yelu Dashi did not stop his footsteps, continued to wave his troops to the west, and the victory was frequently reported, he sent a letter to Gaochang Hui Khan King Bilge, counting the old friendships of the two countries, and informing that "the west will go to the great food, and the fake Daoer country, it will not be suspicious." The prince of Hui welcomed Dashi to the palace, feasted for three days, and before leaving, offered 600 horses, and was willing to be a vassal country.
Dashi continued westward from Beiting Beshbali in Gaochang Hui, led his troops into the territory of the Black Khan Kingdom, met with local resistance, and defeated the army of more than 100,000 people in the Western Regions. And this year in Qierman proclaimed the emperor, established the Kara-Khitan Dynasty, changed the Yuan to Yanqing...
Yelu Dashi started from scratch with 200 iron horsemen in a strange land, and successfully founded a huge empire, which greatly stimulated Yelu Yuyu. In terms of blood, he is much more near than him; In terms of seniority, when he became a vassal, he was just emerging; In terms of ability, he once resisted 100,000 Jin troops and made it difficult for them to move an inch, but they were repeatedly defeated by the Jin army; If you want to talk about fame, the two of them are just fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, and they both led the Jurchens to hunt down and kill the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi.
Now one of his descendants can establish a country and become the emperor, which makes Yelu Yu indignant, his own conditions are much better than him, and he has tens of thousands of male soldiers in his hands, controlling the land of Xijing and several states. However, Yelu Yu also thought that he was not facing the weak and bully countries of the Western Regions, but the powerful Jurchen Jin Kingdom and Zhao Er, who had returned to Xijing.
And what made Yelu Yu confused was that although Zhao Er didn't see him after he came back, it didn't mean that he didn't know what he had done recently, but he still let the princess and Xiao Dexin go to Baishuiluo for a vacation, what did he want to do? Did you deliberately let yourself go, or did you set a trap and prepare to let yourself get into it and play a trick to get away with?
The more Yelu Yu thought about it, the more afraid he became, this Zhao Er made him jealous, he always did things without seeing the beginning and the end, but he had no last resort, think about the down-and-out Ah Shu, under his guidance and support, he was able to mobilize more than 100,000 people against Jin in two years, and the two Jin troops who forced the southern invasion had to return to Beijing. He couldn't help but wonder if Yelu Dashi could open up the situation if he faced such a strong opponent... (To be continued......)
