In the last ten years of the reign of the Liao State, a quasi-overlord was finally produced among the nomads of the northern steppe, which had many names, the first called Mengwu, and later Menggu, Menggusi, but the historiography is accustomed to calling them Mongolia.

Under the leadership of a leader named Haidu, the Mongol tribes grew rapidly and conquered the Chazara, another major nomadic tribe in the upper reaches of the Krulun River. After Haidu's grandson Hebule ascended the throne, at this time the Liaojin and Jin countries were fighting, no one could care about the affairs of the steppe, so Hebule took the opportunity to unify the Mongolian tribes, in 1127 AD, that is, the second year of Jingkang, he was elected as the Mongolian minister, called "Hebul Khan".

At this time, the emperor of the Jin State was Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai, and when he saw the rising of the Mongol tribes, he was also more worried, so he wanted to go to Shangjing, the capital of the Jin State, to meet him. But what people said was more high-sounding, saying that they wanted Mongolia to accept the reward of the Dajin Kingdom.

As long as you are not a fool, you can see this matter, Wu Qimai's banquet is obviously a Jinguo version of the "Hongmen Banquet", if someone else is changed, they may find an excuse to pretend to procrastinate, but Hebul happily accepted Wu Qimai's invitation. He came to Shangjing with dozens of retinues and met with Wu Qimai.

Unexpectedly, after Wu Qimai saw Hebule, he thought he was very interesting and had a very good impression of him. So they entertained him often. But one time something went wrong, and after drinking too much, Hebule actually ran to the throne and stretched out his hand to touch the "dragon beard" that Wu Qimai had bought! Hebule's life froze the moment he touched Wu Begging's beard, and the tragic fate of the entire Eurasian continent more than 100 years later also froze at this moment.

At this time, Wu Qimai basically had three choices on how to deal with the problem of the bold and reckless Hebule, the first option was to be very angry with Hebule's behavior, and he would arrest Hebule and wait to be dealt with; the second option was to be very angry with Hebule's behavior, and gave an order, cut Hebule in two sections, and then ordered to wipe out the Mongolian tribes, and the last option was that although Wu Qimai was very angry, in order to reflect the magnanimity of the big country, he let Hebule go as a fart.

If Wu Qimai had taken the first two options, then the life of Banhebula would have belonged to him again, and the fate of the Mongol tribes would have become bumpy. But it's a pity that Wu Qimai, who is already over 100 and a half years old, finally took the third option, although Wu Qimai was really angry at that time, but as an emperor of the superpower in East Asia at that time, if he was executed because of the rudeness of a tribal leader, it would seem that Wu Qimai was too narrow-minded, and how could the Jin Kingdom convince the people of the world in the future? So sometimes the problem of face kills people, and Wu Qimai is too face-saving, so he made a decision that he regrets for the rest of his life.

The final solution to this beard storm was that Wu Qimai once again smiled at Hebule, declared Hebule innocent, and released him on the spot. However, if Wu Qimai knew how much impact his decision would have on the fate of his Jin Kingdom and dozens of peoples in the Eurasian continent more than a hundred years later, he would not have let him go. Because Hebule had a great-grandson named Temujin, and it was the Mongolian iron cavalry led by Temujin who swept across the Eurasian continent more than a hundred years later, and finally became the gravedigger of the once powerful Jurchen Jin Kingdom!

Later, Hebul also knew that he had made a big mistake, so he made an excuse and fled from Shangjing as soon as possible and returned to the Mongolian steppe. Naturally, this matter will not be exposed so lightly, and Wu Qimai later regretted it, because he remembered that Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the Liao State back then, let go of his eldest brother Wanyan Agu, dug his own grave, and finally caused the Liao State to be destroyed, so he tried his best to "invite" Hebule to Shangjing again. But Hebule naturally would not go again, and at this time, the center of gravity of the Jin State was fighting against the Zhao and Song Dynasty in the south, and Hebule and his Mongol tribes could only be put aside first.

As everyone knows, this delay was delayed until Wu Qimai died. After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he was young and vigorous, and finally decided to launch a wolf extermination operation against the rebel of the northern steppe, the blue wolf Hebule!

However, the pediatric action of punishing the rebel tribes on the steppe has become a difficult operation for Wanyan Hera, and the main reason is that almost all the elite troops and excellent commanders of the Jin State have been sent to the Huai River and Shaanxi Sichuan fronts to fight for life and death with the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the end, Wanyan Heru had no choice but to drive the then Taishi Wanyan Puluhu to come forward to deal with Hebule, and let the dignified Taishi do the task of suppressing bandits, which seemed to be a bit like killing chickens with a knife. But if you take a closer look at Comrade Puruhu's military resume, you will find that in fact, this Taishi has almost no outstanding performance in several major military operations in the Jin State, and it is estimated that letting him deal with Hebula is nothing more than wanting to let the Taishi make some military achievements, so as not to make others laugh.

The only troops that Taishi Puluhu could use were some irregular militia and police forces in the border areas of the Jin State, because there were really no regular troops to mobilize in the rear of the Jin State. But to deal with Hebule, Pu Luhu is very confident, so he and Wanyan Xiyin led a large group of Jin police forces to attack the Mongolian tribes in the desert, but the result of this war was a bit unexpected, Puluhu and Xi Yin's Jin State bandit army was defeated by Hebule's cavalry, almost lost all the face of Yan Hela.

In the second year of Tianjuan (1139 AD), Wanyan Hela launched the second anti-bandit operation, this time the unlucky guy selected by Wanyan was Wanhu Hu Shahu and in order to ensure the success of the second anti-bandit, Wanyan Hera did not dare to use the so-called police and militia forces, but cobbled together and provided Hu Shahu with a regular army of the Jin State, the purpose was to eliminate Hebul and his Mongol tribes.

But Hu Shahu's ability is really not good, after accepting the appointment of the general, he thought he was right, and led the army to rush into the Mongolian steppe recklessly, and the result was that Hu Shahu's Jin army tossed around in the Mongolian steppe for more than two months, and even the shadow of the Mongols was not seen. Later, because of the logistical supply problems of the expeditionary army that went deep into the grassland, if they did not withdraw to the Jin State in time, then Hu Shahu and his expeditionary army were estimated to starve to death on the Mongolian steppe.

So the depressed Hu Shahu retreated to the Jin Kingdom with this exhausted conquest army, but on the way to retreat, Hu Shahu's nightmare came. Just as Hu Shahu and his Jin army were marching to the area of "Hailing" (present-day Hailar Mountains), the main Mongolian cavalry suddenly appeared all over the mountains, and the two sides engaged in an encounter. But at this time, the Jin army was already physically and mentally exhausted, and could not resist the wolf-like Mongolian cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry led by Hebul launched a bloody massacre of the Jin army.

In this battle, the Jin army was almost completely annihilated, and the commander Hu Shahu was spared and fled back to the Jin country, and the Mongol cavalry of Hebul won a complete victory. Wanyan Hela, who was far away in Beijing, couldn't believe it at all, he finally began to pay attention to the blue wolf on the grassland.

In 1142 AD, the Song and Jin countries signed the "Shaoxing Peace Conference", and the war between the two countries was finally over.

In view of the fiasco of the previous two conquests against Mongolia, Wanyan Hela decided to kill the chicken and then use the cattle knife, because at this time, Hebul had already controlled and conquered most of the Mongolian steppe tribes, and the total population of the entire Hebul force had reached 10,000 households, so Hebul had become a fierce blue wolf, and to deal with the blue wolf, he had to use the strength of the whole body of the Jin Kingdom to deal with it. The most suitable commander for Wanyan He's wolf extermination operation is Wanyan Wushu, the number one god of war in the Jin Kingdom, after successfully forcing the fierce rival Southern Song Dynasty, Wushu has started a new round of journey, this time the enemy is the blue wolf in the northern steppe - the Mongols.

In order to eliminate the Mongols who dared to rebel against the Jin State, Wushu decided to solve the problem once and for all, and he selected 80,000 crossbowmen from the Jianghuai and Shaanchuan fronts to launch a fierce attack on the Mongolian steppe. The Wushu is naturally a hundred times stronger than Hushahu, and it will not be so stupid that it can't even find the territory of the Mongols, so it seems that the good days of Hebul crisscrossing the steppe are coming to an end.

In 1147 A.D., under the leadership of Wushu and Hebule, the two sides of Jin and Mongolia fought fiercely in the Mongolian steppe, although the most elite troops of the Jin State led by Wushu had defeated Hebul many times, but they could not finally eliminate the elusive Mongolian cavalry, on the contrary, they were often attacked by Mongolian cavalry guerrillas. The god of war of the Jin Kingdom finally decided to give up, of course, one of the main reasons is that Wushu encountered the same difficulties as Hu Shahu, and the logistics supply was seriously insufficient. In order not to ruin his reputation on the Mongolian steppe, and in order to ensure that the northern border of the Jin State could be at peace for a long time, the Wushu decided to take advantage of the fact that the Jin State still had a slight military advantage to promote the Mongolian armistice and peace talks.

And the self-righteous Hebul who thought he was invincible in the world was also shocked by the super combat power of the god of war after several fierce battles with the Wushu, firstly, the current strength of the Mongolian tribes could not constitute a threat to the rule of the Jin State, and secondly, the Wushu was indeed a very difficult opponent, and it was very unfavorable to the Mongolian tribes to fight a protracted war. Based on the above considerations, Hebule, who was on the weaker side, readily agreed to Wushu's request for peace talks, and the Mongol tribes also received rewards from the Jin State, including 26 walled cities west of the Xiping River in Mongolia and a large number of cattle and horses from the Jin State every year.

The policy of appeasement of the Wushu did have a great effect in the short term, and shortly after the signing of the Jin-Mongol Peace Treaty, the Mongol hero Hebul died, and the entire Mongol tribe began to fall into a situation of fragmentation, and there was no large-scale military confrontation between the Jin and Mongol tribes for more than sixty years.

But a hundred years later, Hebule's great-grandson Temujin, like his great-grandfather, unified the entire steppe, while the Jin Kingdom did not have a vulture-like god of war, and finally the Jin Kingdom fell under the iron hooves of the Mongol cavalry. If Wu begged to buy the spring and knew it, would he regret letting go of Hebul back then?
