Chapter 433: Soldiers Out of Lingzhou Supplement No. 25

After the 6th century, the Eastern Slavs lived in the area from Kiev to Lake Ilmen. In the 9th century, their tribe developed into fortified towns called principalities. In 882, the Novgorod prince Rukry conquered Kiev and the principalities on the west bank of the Dnieper, forming the Grand Duchy centered on Kiev, whose ruler was called the Grand Duke, and the state was called Rus'. Rukri divided the country into several countries, divided them into princes, and made Kiev the capital. In the 10th century, Rus adopted Orthodox Christianity from the nearby Eastern Roman Empire. Rus grew stronger during the reign of Yaroslav.

In the 12th century, Rus' was divided into more than 10 small principalities such as Kiev, Smolensk, Chernigova, Yerezan, Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Suzdal, etc., with the Grand Duke of Kiev as the suzerain, and gradually became independent. In 1169, the Grand Duchy of Kiev was dissolved and the capital was moved to Vladimir. In the 13th century, the principalities were divided and fought against each other, with Rosrostov-Suzdal in the northeast being renamed the Duchy of Vladimir, Rosross in the southwest establishing the Duchy of Gariz, which incorporated part of the principalities of Podolia, Volyn, Kiev, etc., and Polotsk in the northwest was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. At that time, the territory of all Rus' was not large, and its eastern border was no more than the Hanga River, a tributary of the Volga River. The Kipchaks of the Central Asian steppes often infested the territory of Rus'. In order to avoid being harassed by the Kipchaks and to defeat other principalities, the southern princes of Rus' often married into the Kipchak tribes in order to strengthen their power.

After the Kipchak chieftain Gadiyan fled to Rus' to ask for help from his son-in-law, Grand Duke Michith contacted the princes of Southern Rus' to discuss resistance to the Mongols in Kiev. The princes argued about this, and the old Duke Michisi said: Although the Kipchaks are our enemies of the world, but the great enemy is present, and to save the Kipchaks is to save ourselves. If the Kipchaks are pushed towards the Mongols and their power is strengthened, sooner or later we will meet the Mongol army in the land of Rus'. It is better to strike first, take the initiative to attack, and keep the Mongols out of the country. So the princes agreed to send troops, agreed to fight the Mongol army in the land of the Kipchaks, and sent messengers to ask Grand Duke Vladimir to send troops to help. When Jebe and Subutai heard that the Rus' were preparing to jointly attack the Mongols, he sent 10 envoys to Kiev to meet with the princes, saying that the Mongols had no intention of attacking the Rus', but only to crusade against the Kipchaks, and not to listen to the Kipchaks' provocations. Moreover, the Kipchaks have been invading the territory of Rus' all year round, so it is better to attack the Kipchaks with the Mongols and soldiers and share the fruits. The Rus' kings ignored it and killed the Mongol envoys.

In the spring of 1223, Grand Duke Michis, together with the armies of Kiev, Gariz, and Chernygova, sent troops to the Kipchak steppe, and formed an army of 100,000 with the armies of Vladimir, Kursk, Smolensk and other principalities, as well as the Kipchak department, and gathered in the lower reaches of the Dnieper River to prepare to meet the Mongol army. The Kipchaks, who had been scattered all over the country, heard that the 100,000-strong army was going to defeat the Mongols, and rushed to join the coalition to join the battle. In the midst of the disparity in strength, Jebe and Subutai, who had only 20,000 troops, sent messengers to the princes of Rus' and said to them, "Listen to the slander of the Kipchaks, kill our envoys, and gather your army to declare war on us." We swore to Heaven that we would not violate you, and why did you do that? Please do not go into the army and start a war. We Mongolians are not afraid of war, but we must make the truth clear. The princes of Rus' felt that the Mongols were no more than that, so they sent back the envoys and told the Mongol generals that they insisted on a war with the Mongols.

Confident that he could defeat the Mongol army, the old Duke Michisi led more than 10,000 cavalry under his command to cross the Dnieper River without waiting for Kiev and other princes. The Grand Duke of Michith defeated the Mongol vanguard army, captured the wounded and fallen Mongol vanguard generals, and handed them over to the Kipchaks to kill. The Rus' army then crossed the river one after another, and the Mongol army fought and retreated, and then the whole army retreated eastward. The Rus' coalition pursued the Mongol army for 12 days, and when they reached the shore of Calga, they found that the Mongol army was already in full battle. At this time, the Mongol reinforcements sent by Jochi arrived on the battlefield, and the Mongol army confronted the allied Rus' forces across the river. The Rus' coalition army was divided into two cantonment armies, the southern army consisted of the Kiev army and the Chernygova army, and the northern army consisted of the Gariz army and the Kipchak army. Jebe sent 6,000 cavalry to feint against the Rus' coalition, but the attack was unsuccessful and feinted, while the young princes of the Rus' coalition pursued the victory. Some veteran Rus' generals proposed to attack cautiously and wait for the enemy to be ascertained before attacking, but they were opposed by the princes of the Shaozhuang faction.

On May 31, 1223, a major battle was fought at the Calga River between the Mongols and the Rus' coalition. After the Mongol reconnaissance grasped the deployment of the troops of the Rus' coalition army, Jebe ordered the right flank of the Mongol army to storm the opposing Kipchak army and cut off the retreat of the Rus' northern army. The Kipchak army retreated in panic under the onslaught of the Mongol army, disrupting the battle formation of the Galiz army. The Mongol army launched a full-line charge on the left flank and in the center, and the northern Rus' army was defeated due to the confusion of the formation, and was crushed under the strong onslaught of the Mongol cavalry. The old Duke Michith abandoned his soldiers, fled back to the other side by boat, and burned all the boats on the Chalga River to prevent the Mongols from pursuing them. As a result, the Rus' Northern Army was wantonly slaughtered by the Mongols on the riverside and almost completely annihilated. The Kyiv army of the Southern Army was encamped on the high ground on the other side of the river, and stood still as the Galiz army was defeated. After the Mongol army defeated the northern army of Rus', they crossed the river with their victorious division and entered the siege of the southern army of Rus'. The Rusnan army was attacked by the enemy on its belly and back, and after three days of hasty resistance, it surrendered. The old Duke Michisi fled from the battlefield, and the Mongol army pursued and annihilated his subordinates. In the Battle of the Calga River, the Rus' coalition army lost 70,000 soldiers, 6 princes were executed, 70 nobles were killed, and the Mongol army won a brilliant victory.

On the way to the aid of the troops of the Principality of Vladimir, they learned of the defeat of the coalition forces and hurriedly retreated. The Mongol army took advantage of the victory and drove straight in, ravaged the vast area of Southern Rus', entered the Crimean Peninsula, and captured the city of Sudahei. At the end of 1223, Jebe and Subutai returned triumphantly. The Mongol army, which had returned to the division, passed through the place where the Burian tribe lived, and the Burian led the army to block it, and the Mongol army completely annihilated the Burian army in an ambush, and the Burian surrendered to the Mongols. Subsequently, the Mongol army subdued the Satsins in the Caspian coastal region and advanced to the Khamli tribe, where the leader of the Khamli tribe led troops to resist and surrendered to the Mongols after the defeat.

In 1224, Subutai was ordered by Genghis Khan to lead his army eastward and join Genghis Khan's army in western Mongolia, and Jebe was ordered to stay in the Kipchak steppe. Soon after, the Mongol general Jebe died of illness in the western part of the Aral Sea. On the orders of Genghis Khan, the second general of Subutai led more than 20,000 cavalry to pursue Mokomat in Khorezm, swept the north and south of the Caucasus Mountains, broke the Rus' coalition army, fought for 3 years, conquered 14 countries, broke more than 40 cities, annihilated nearly 170,000 enemies, traveled more than 5,000 kilometers, and achieved great results at a very small cost. Jebe's and Subutai's offensive against the Caucasus and southern Rus' was a strategic military reconnaissance and a prelude to Batu's westward conquest of Europe.

The main strategies and tactics used by Jebe and Subutai in combat are: pursuit warfare, ambush warfare, siege warfare, assault warfare, movement warfare, annihilation warfare, division and disintegration, and various breakthroughs.

Pursuit: Jebe, the antecedent of Subutai's sweep of the Caucasus and South Russia was the pursuit of Mokomat in Khorezm on the orders of Genghis Khan. The Mongol army marched from the city of Samarkand, crossed the Hom River, passed through present-day Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and other countries, and finally forced Mokomat to a small island in the Caspian Sea, where he died.

Ambush: In October 1221, the Jebe and Subutai armies marched to the east of the Georgian capital to meet the 30,000 Georgian Crusaders. Jebe set up an ambush with 5,000 men, and Subutai led the troops to feint, luring the enemy into the ambush circle, so that most of the 30,000 horses and horses of the Ge army were wiped out.

Siege warfare: The Mongol army attacked the cities of Tusi and Hamadan, and adopted the tactics of besieging and attacking the city.

Assault: The Mongols were stationed in the Mugan Plain on the western shore of the Caspian Sea, and the Georgians thought that the Mongols would not be able to attack in the cold and winter, but the Mongols broke under the capital city of Tbilisi. The Georgian army was unprepared and rushed to meet the battle with 10,000 men, and was killed by more than half of the Mongol army.

Sun is not bitter, Sun Chazhan is cold, and he is cold

Movement Warfare: In the summer of 1223, 100,000 Rus' allied troops gathered in the lower reaches of the Dnieper River to meet the Mongol army. Jebe and Subutai were outnumbered, and adopted the tactics of luring the enemy away from the territory and waiting for an opportunity to fight, dragging the enemy to a favorable area and annihilating him.

Annihilation War: The Battle of the Calga River is a classic example of the world-famous annihilation war in which the enemy was lured deep and defeated.

Disintegration: After the Mongol army entered the northern Caucasus, the Alans united with the Kipchaks and other Turkic tribes to confront the Mongol army. Jebe adopted a strategy of division and disintegration, sending envoys with gifts to the Kipchak chieftain to induce the Kipchaks to abandon their allies, and finally the Mongols defeated the Kipchaks by surprise.

In 1223, during the Battle of the Calga River, when the northern army of Rus crossed the river and fought fiercely with the Mongol army, the southern army of Rus' saw the annihilation of the northern army and did not come to their aid. The Mongol army attacked the southern army after breaking the northern army, and the southern army resisted for 3 days and surrendered. [2] In 1241, Subutai left behind 30,000 men to control the conquered territories and protect his lines of communication, leading an invasion of Central Europe with about 120,000 men. He recognized that Hungary, Poland, Bohemia, and Silesia were each capable of raising armies larger than his own; He was equally aware that aggression against any of these countries would immediately plunge him into war with the other three countries and the Holy Roman Empire. However, his knowledge of European politics gave him the confidence that he could rely on the jealous quarrels between the Pope, the German Emperors, the King of France, and the King of England, so that these countries would not be involved in conflict until he had settled Central Europe, and then he would break them down individually.

Subutai divided his army into four main columns or field armies, each with three tumans. The first was led by Sun Haidu, the son of Ogedai, and prepared to protect the northern flank. The other flank army, led by Kuoduan, son of Ögedei, was planned to protect the southern flank in the event of an invasion of Hungary by Mongol armies from the south through Transylvania and the Tayao River valley. The remaining two armies were apparently advancing in parallel columns, and were to force their way across the Middle Carpal Mountains under the leadership of Batu and Subutai. The two columns were to meet on the plain in front of the city of Pest on the east bank of the Duolu River, opposite the Hungarian capital of Buda (part of present-day Budapest, the capital of Hungary, which was called Budapest on the west bank of the Duoqiang River and Pest on the east bank). With the main goal of attracting the attention of the Poles, Bohemians and Silesians, Haidu was dispatched in early March 1241 slightly ahead of the other three columns. He defeated three larger Polish armies and swept Poland into Silesia. A detachment, Tuman, to protect its right flank, made a detour north through Lithuania, then west through East Prussia, and along the Baltic coast into Pomerania.

On 3 March, Haidu used two other Tumans to crush the army of Polish Boreslav V in Krakow. As the Mongol army marched through northeastern Europe with fire and swords, panic spread through the countryside, and terrified refugees fled westward. As cities were captured, destroyed, and burned, people were displaced, and refugees proliferated, and the horrors were amplified and amplified. By the beginning of April, when two tumans of 20,000 men from Haidu arrived in Silesia, Europeans believed that his army numbered more than 200,000 men.

Battle of Rignitz

April 9, 1241 Despite believing these crazy exaggerations, the cavalry of Northern Central Europe was ready to fight to the death. Grand Duke Henry the "Pious" of Silesia gathered a coalition of 40,000 Germans, Poles, and Teutonic knights to occupy the defensive positions in Rignitz, where the Haidu army must pass, and Vincislaus, King of Bohemia, led an army of 50,000 men to hurry north to join Henry, and when the Bohemian army was still two days away, Haidu launched an attack. Although the Europeans fought bravely and stubbornly, Henry's army was still crushed and the remnants fled westward. Because the Mongol army was in pursuit, some European historians incorrectly consider the Battle of Rignitz to be a tug-of-war.

In 1226, Subutai followed Genghis Khan to conquer Western Xia and captured the Jinsimen and other departments of Sali Wu'er, as well as the Deshun Ronglanhui Taohe Prefectures. The following year, he heard of Genghis Khan's death and returned to his army.

In 1229, the lord of the gold was destroyed, and Wokotai was the Khan, and the princess was married to Su Butai. Soon, Ogedai decided to go south to cut gold, and Subutai was one of the main generals in the army. In 1230, he participated in the defeat of the battle of Tongguan, and Wokotai blamed him, but Tuo Lei said that "the victory and defeat of the soldiers are not common, please order the meritorious service to be effective". From the spring of 1231, he served under the command of Tuolei, as the right wing of the army, first conquered Baoji, Shaanxi, entered the Dasanguan, and then detoured to Fengzhou (now northeast of Fengxian County, Shaanxi), Yangzhou (now Yangxian County, Shaanxi), Xingyuan (now Hanzhong, Shaanxi), Jinzhou (now Ankang, Shaanxi), Fangzhou (now Fangxian County, Hubei) in the Southern Song Dynasty, and then crossed the Han River to the north, and the front of the army was directed at Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan).

In the first month of 1232, Wokotai led the Chinese army to cross the Yellow River at Baipo and capture Zhengzhou in the east, and the two armies formed a pincer offensive against Bianjing. Wanyan Heda, who was stationed in Tongguan, led the main army of Jin to the south to intercept and tow mines, but failed, and was ordered by Emperor Jin to turn to the northeast to aid Bian. When the Mongol army entered the Sanfeng Mountain in the northwest of Junzhou (now Yu County, Henan), the Jin soldiers surrounded it for several turns, and the Mongol army won a great victory in the attack, and the 350,000 elite troops of the Jin army were almost completely annihilated. As for how to deal with the Heda army, Tuo Lei once asked Subutai for a strategy, and Subutai said: "The people who live in the city are not patient with hard work, and the battle can be won." The victory in the Battle of Sanfeng Mountain was the result of the implementation of this military strategy. After the Battle of Sanfeng Mountain, the Jin army was no longer able to resist, and the Mongol army soon captured most of Henan. In March, Wokotai and Tuolei returned to the north, and led an army of 30,000 to besiege Bianjing and pass through Henan. Subutai commanded all the troops to besiege Bianjing and demanded that the Jin side surrender. Emperor Jin sent King Cao as a hostage and sent envoys to negotiate peace, but soon the Jin soldiers killed the Mongol envoys, and the peace talks broke down. In December, Emperor Jin fled the capital and crossed the Yellow River north during the Spring Festival in 1233 and then turned back to Henan, from Changheng to Guide (present-day Shangqiu County, Henan).

Soon, Cui Li, the marshal of the west of Jin Bianjing, announced his surrender, and Subutai arrived at Qingcheng in April to accept the Jin Hou Concubine clan and treasures presented by Cui Li. Subutai killed all the close ministers of the clan such as King Yi of Jinjing, sent people to send the concubine and treasures to Wokotai, and then entered Bianjing on April 20. Subutai once attempted to slaughter the city, but was stopped by Yelu Chucai. At that time, Bianjing was already full of depression, hungry people cannibalism, Su Butai ordered to let the residents of the city cross the Yellow River north to survive by food. In the first month of 1234, the Mongol army and the Song army cooperated to break through Caizhou, and the Jin Emperor hanged himself and died, and the Jin Dynasty perished. In the Battle of Caizhou, although Subutai did not go to the front line in person, he also won under his command. [4]

South to destroy Dali

After the death of Guiyu Khan in 1248, the question of succession to the throne remained unresolved for a long time. The kings of the Jochi and Tulei clans, as well as individual kings of the Chagatai clan, gathered in the land of Aratokura, and some of the generals led by Uliang Hetai also participated. Batu was the first to recommend Meng Ge, and was supported by Wuliang Hetai, who said, "Meng Ge is smart and wise, people know it, and Batu is good at discussing it" ("Yuan History, Xianzong Ji"). In the summer of 1251, the kings and ministers held a general meeting in the land of Kuthei Wua, and the Empress Hai Lost and the Wokotai Lost Martyr Gate raised objections, and the Wuliang Hetai said: "This proposal has been decided in advance and cannot be changed" ("Yuan Shi Wuliang Hetai Biography"). Möngke finally officially succeeded to the throne at this assembly.

In the autumn of 1252, Möngke Khan ordered Kublai Khan to conquer Dali and serve as the governor of Wuliang Hetai. Kublai Khan's army entered Lintao (now Lintao County, Gansu) in August 1253, and entered Tera (now Diebe County, Gansu Province and Zoige County, Sichuan, bordering Dala Gou) in September. Wuliang Hetai traveled southwest from Tera through the Aba grassland in present-day Sichuan, and went south to Litang Daocheng from present-day Ganzi, and then turned to the southwest, and crossed the Dandangling Mountains into Yunnan. After subjugating the Moshou, the army crossed the Jinsha River, conquered Lijiang, and continued south to capture Longshou Pass north of Dali City. On December 13, when the Middle Route Army entered the siege of Dali City, both the West Road and the East Road Army had arrived. On the 15th, Wuliang Hetai assisted Kublai Khan in attacking Dali City. Then, the Mongol army went out in all directions.

In the spring of 1254, Kublai Khan's class returned to the north, and Wuliang Hetai was ordered to defend Dali, and divided his troops to capture Dali's annexed capital. During the attack on Luobu Mansion, the great chief Gao Sheng refused to fight, and Wuliang Hetai defeated him at the foot of the mountain of Hukelang. When attacking Chicheng along the ground, because "the intercity Dianchi Lake, water on three sides, both dangerous and strong", the artillery attack and fire attack did not work, Wuliang Hetai "is a big earthquake drum cymbal, and then do, do and stop, so that do not know what to do, if it is for seven days, serve its sleepiness, five drums at night, send his son Ashu diver to jump in, cut it randomly, and then collapse" ("Yuan Shi Wuliang Hetai Biography"). In Kunze, the king of Dali, Duan Xingzhi, was captured. The remnants of the enemy are holding back the valley, and the Wuliang Hetai will continue to attack. However, when he entered the city of Qiandege, Wuliang Hetai fell ill, so he entrusted the military to his son Ashu.

In 1255, Ah Shu was ordered by his father to advance into Chibalge (present-day western Guizhou) and Luoros (present-day Liangshan area, Sichuan) and other places. In two years, there were 37 barbarians such as five cities, eight prefectures and four counties in Pingdali, as well as Wubai.

In 1256, he was ordered to go north to flank the Song army in Sichuan, pass through Wumeng, arrive at the Mahu River (now the lower reaches of the Jinsha River), march to Hechuan, Chongqing in Jiading (now Leshan, Sichuan), and return to Dali after joining the Sichuan Mongol army. [5]

Embezzlement of the Southern Song Dynasty

In 1257, Wuliang Hetai was pacified by Dali, and sent an envoy to report to Meng Ge and suggested that he should set up a rule here, which was granted. He established 19 10,000 households in this area, with 1,000 households under it, established the rule of the Mongol aristocracy, and laid the foundation for the later establishment of Yunnan Province. Kublai Khan captured Dali and completed the great detour of the Mongols to the Southern Song Dynasty; The establishment of Wuliang Hetai in Dali gave the Mongols a reliable base in the southwest when they later attacked the Southern Song Dynasty from the north and south.

In 1257, Möngke Khan decided to conquer the Song on a large scale. In February 1258, Meng Ge personally led his army into Western Shu, and at the same time ordered Tachar Zhang Rou to attack the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and cooperate in the east; He also ordered Wuliang Hetai to lead troops north, and agreed to meet Tanzhou (now Changsha, Hunan) in the first month of 1259.

At the end of 1257, Wuliang Hetai had entered Jiaozhi from Dali, defeated its lord Chen Rixuan, and Chen Rixuan requested to be attached to the later teacher.

After receiving the order from Meng Ge, Wuliang Hetai immediately led 3,000 cavalry of the four kings and 10,000 barbarians to attack the west road of Song Guangnan. After breaking through some passes of Hengshanzhai (now Tiandong, Guangxi), Binzhou (now Binyang, Guangxi), Guizhou (now Guixian, Guangxi), Laibin (now Laibin, Guangxi), Xiangzhou (now Xiangzhou, Guangxi), and Liuzhou (now Liuzhou, Guangxi), it passed through Yining, Lingchuan, Xing'anzhou, north of Liuzhou, and entered Hunan. Due to the interception of the Song army, Wuliang Hetai turned northwest, broke through Yuanzhou (now Zhijiang, Hunan) and Chenchuan (now Yuanling, Hunan), and then turned east and advanced, crossing the Xiangjiang River in mid-November and arriving at the city of Tanzhou (now Changsha, Hunan). The 200,000 Song army of Tanzhou met the battle, and Wuliang Hetai waved his army to break it. At this time, Wuliang Hetai learned that Kublai Khan's army was attacking Ezhou (now Wuchang, Hubei), so he besieged Tanzhou and sent people to report the military situation to Kublai Khan, and Kublai Khan sent troops to help. In the eleventh month of leap, Kublai Khan decided to return north to compete for the throne of Khan, allowing Jia to sue for peace, and sending Tie Maichi to welcome Wuliang and Hetai in Yuezhou (present-day Yueyang, Hunan). Wuliang Hetai arrived in Ezhou from Yuezhou; In February 1260, his army crossed the river north at Huhuangzhou to join Kublai Khan's army.

In March 1260, Kublai Khan summoned Kulitai in Kaiping and ascended to the throne of Khan. The Uliang Hetai arrived in Shangdu in April to support Kublai Khan as Khan. His son Ashu, since the attack on Dali, followed his father to conquer, repeatedly made military exploits, and then followed Kublai Khan as a guard, and later was a member of the main general at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. [6]

The sea has no reason to pursue, he has completed his mission. All of northern and central Europe, from the Baltic Sea to the Carpatho, was destroyed. All possible dangers to the right flank of the army against Subutai have been eliminated. One of the remaining combat-ready armies in the area—Vincislaus's Bohemian Army—was retreating northwest to join up with the hastily assembled armies of the other German nobles. Haidu had brilliantly fulfilled his plan for Subutai, and recalled his detachment Tuman from the Baltic coast and swung his army south to join the main force in Hungary. The army of the Hui Division turned Moravia into a wilderness.

Enter Hungary

The southern flank column was equally combat-ready, although melting snow and swollen rivers held back the advance of the Mongol army. After three positional battles, by 11 April, all resistance in Transylvania had collapsed.

Passing through the iron gate between the Duoyao River and the Khalbahu Mountains, Kuduan waved his division north into the Hungarian plain to join forces with Subutai. In the eleventh year, Taizu took advantage of my gold to collect the embers, and the generals and Lin asked, "Who can levy the beggars for me?" "Please do not do it. Taizu was strong and promised. The mountain road is steep, and the iron is wrapped in the wheels to prevent destruction. Su Butai selected Ali to lead a hundred people first, and contempted the false reality of the begging, and the day of the precept: You will carry the baby to travel, and if you go, you will leave it, so that if you run away from home. When Mi'er saw it, he thought he was a fugitive, and he didn't have equipment. In thirteen years, Subutai advanced to blow the river and broke it, and annihilated all of them.

In the fourteenth year, Taizu personally conquered the Western Regions, and the fate of those who did not agree with him led 10,000 people to chase the lord of the Western Regions, Aja Aiding, and precepted that "if there are many other troops, they will not fight, but the rear army." If he escapes, he will chase after him. Do not kill and plunder those who descend from the castle you pass. and if they do not surrender, they will conquer it, and take their people into slavery. If it is not easy to attack, it will be abandoned, and there will be no need to fortify the city. "When the lord of the Western Regions abandoned Samarkand and fled, those who did not meet the speed did not cross the Amu River and chased him by separate routes. The lord of the Western Regions fled into Caspian Haijin and died of illness in a few cases. Capture their treasures as offerings. The event is "The Legend of the Western Regions". Taizu Day: "The bloody battle of Su Butai pillows, I am very happy for my family." "Give me a silver urn with great beads. Subutai and those who do not enter its northwest provinces, and all the chiefs are looking forward to the wind.

In the sixteenth year of the military strategy of the Western Regions, Taizu ordered not to enter the Qibchak without Taitai, and entered the Gaokasi Mountain along the west of the Li River, broke the people of Qibchak, and killed the brother of his chieftain, Yuerge. His son Ta''er hid in the woods, and was told by his slaves, and he killed him. Sutai set the slaves for the people, and when they heard about it, Taizu said: "The slave is not loyal to the master, but is he loyal to others?" "And kill them. The chieftain of Chibchak fled into the territory of the Rus, and those who did not go to the Shotai did not lead their troops to the Khalgi River, and fought with the Trolls in the land of the children, and the victory was not counted. Su Butai played a contempt for beggars, and was a cowardly Kang neighbor, and thousands of households in Qibchak's various departments, and set up an army. from it. At the beginning, Taizu's fate was not fast enough to return to Mongolia from Qibchak for a period of three years, and he met Taizu. As a result, the two generals triumphed and returned according to the orders of Taizu.

In the nineteenth year, Taizu personally conquered Western Xia, and he was out of the country at a speed, fearing that his parents would think about it and send him back to the province. If you don't play quickly, you are willing to march from the west, and Taizu will live in the past. On the twenty-first day, the year of Po Sali was afraid of the Wutler Chimin and other departments, and the Deshun town of Ronglan Hui Taohe Prefecture, and 5,000 horses were obtained, all of which were dedicated to the court. In the twenty-second year, Wen Taizu collapsed, but he returned.

Taizong ascended the throne, and the princess was still bald. From Taizong to Jin, encircling Qingyang. Our army and the Jin people fought in Dachangwon and were defeated. The speed of life is not to be helped. In the second year, Su did not fight with Jin General Wanyan Yi in the Reverse Valley, lost again, and was paid tribute by Taizong. Ruizong said: "The victory and defeat of soldiers are not constant, and it is advisable to make quick and meritorious service for self-effectiveness." He ordered to lead troops from Ruizong to the south.

In the winter of the third year, out of the Niutou Pass, Yujin will lead 150,000 horses to help. Ruizong asked for a strategy, and Su Butai said: "The people who live in the city are not patient with hard work. A number of challenges can be won. "Wise to follow. In the first month of the fourth year, Jin was defeated in Sanfeng Mountain, and he went to Junzhou and pursued it. Heda asked: "Where is Subutai?" I want to know them. Su Butai said: "You must be heard, what do you know about me?" Heda said: "The ministers are their masters, and I heard that Qing Yong covered the generals, so I want to see them." "It is fearful of the enemy.

In March, from Taizong to Bian. The Jin people discussed the strategy of guarding Bian, and the city of Sheli guarded the outer city. The outer city, built by Zhou Shizong, is impregnable. Subutai surrounded it with 40,000 foot cavalry, and recruited 40,000 soldiers from Hezhou County, 20,000 recruits, a total of 100,000 people, within 120 miles. Dazhi attacking tools, driving down people to fill in the trenches, strong hundreds of zhang, siege the four corners of the city, still make up the bamboo Luo Sheng stone to cast it, not a few called the stone high and the city, etc. The defender also imitates the bamboo network, the stone thrown by the sheng fights back, and the gunpowder is thrown in the iron can, and it explodes, and the sound is heard for dozens of miles, and the name is called the thunder that shakes the sky, and bursts a hundred steps away. Our army braved cowhides to the city and cave tunnels. The people of the city are bound to the thunder of the heavens. Strike it, and make a fire-breathing arrow, shooting eighteen steps. Our army is afraid of these two weapons. Six days out of ten, the city could not be taken down, but Xu Jinhe was allowed to accept the quality of King Cao.
