Chapter 7 Chapter Two Unifies Khitan

According to historical records, Yelu Abaoji was born a man of gods, so to what extent is he a god? "The First Chronicle of the Taizu of the Liao Dynasty" records: "At the beginning, the mother dreamed that she fell into her arms and had a pregnancy. When she was born, the room had a divine light and a strange fragrance, and her body was like a three-year-old child, and she could crawl. Son. He often hides in a separate curtain, paints his face, and does not let others see him. He can do it in three months; he can speak at night, and he knows what is not happening." Yelu Abaoji's mother dreamed of the sun, and Huairi gave birth to him, so Abaoji was the sun god.The Khitan people have a tradition of worshiping the sun in the east, and the totem is the sun. Now that the sun is born and falls into their tribe, of course they have to take on the great responsibility of leading the tribe.When A Baoji was born, the room was radiant and full of strange fragrances. He was born as big as a three-year-old child, could crawl, and could talk in three months.It's a pity that there was no medical appraisal research at that time, otherwise this would be a very special talent in the history of human development.Abaoji was able to predict the future and knew what the future would be like since he was a child. Therefore, everyone worshiped him as a god.

Some people admire him, and naturally some people envy him.Their family has served as Yi Li Jin for generations, and many people will definitely be jealous: Why does your family always hold military power?Now there is another little sun in your family.So someone wanted to kill A Baoji.In order to protect A Baoji, A Baoji's grandmother denied that there was such a child, and hid him in a tent so that no one could see him, and even painted his face black with ink.It wasn't until he grew up that Abaoji appeared in front of everyone openly. A Baoji was so magical when he was born, and it was even more incredible when he grew up.To what extent?According to historical records, after A Baoji became an adult, he was "nine feet long, with a sharp top and a sharp bottom, his eyes shot at people, and his bow was three hundred catties" ("The First Chronicle of the Taizu of the Liao Dynasty").A Bao's fuselage is nine feet long (I don't know how much one foot in the Liao and Song Dynasties is now, I think it should be shorter than now, otherwise A Bao's fuselage is 2.6 meters tall, surpassing Yao Ming), and the top is sharp and the bottom is sharp, with bright eyes and great strength Incomparable, can draw a three hundred catty strong bow, is good at riding and shooting, and has high martial arts skills.At that time, Abaoji's uncle, Shilu, served as Yuyue of the whole tribe. "Yu Yue" is the Khitan language, and in Chinese books it is written "General Zhijun State Affairs", which should be equivalent to the prime minister of the Central Plains Dynasty.After the establishment of the Liao Dynasty, "Yuyue" became the highest title for the ministers of the Liao Kingdom. There were only three people in the Liao Dynasty who served as Yuyue in 210 years, ranking above the ministers.At that time, Yu Yue of the tribe had a higher status than Yi Li Jin.As Yu Yue's uncle, he liked Abaoji from the bottom of his heart, and the more he watched, the happier he was. He regarded him as a thousand-mile horse, and believed that the future prosperity of the entire tribe would depend on Abaoji.Therefore, he loved A Baoji very much and raised him carefully.

A Baoji has a very good relationship with his cousin Yelu Helu, and they often eat and live together.Later, Yeluhelu became the number one counselor under Abaoji's account, and also the first one in Yue after the founding of Khitan.The two often fight together.Once, the Khitan people attacked Shiwei (Shiwei is an ancient Mongol. The Shiwei nation also came from the Donghu system, from the Xianbei tribe, and actually has the same origin as the Khitan nation).At that time, Abao led more than a thousand fine cavalry to attack Shiwei, and after he surrounded Shiwei's camp, Yeluhelu told Abaoji that it would be best to use the "soldiers that surrender without fighting" in the Han Chinese "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to fight against the enemy. If you get up, it's not worthwhile to kill one thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred.Hao Lu said that A Baoji would lead the army to exert pressure, and he rode into the camp alone to persuade Shi Wei to surrender, and A Baoji agreed.Helu always regards himself as an assistant hero, I will come when it is dangerous, and you will come when it is successful.A Baoji also did his part, since you are so brave, go ahead.So Yeluhelu rode into Shiwei's camp alone and persuaded the leader of Shiwei to surrender.

The leader of Shiwei saw Yelu Helu's extraordinary demeanor and appearance, and he sighed in his heart that this person is extraordinary.When he got out of the tent, he saw more than a thousand Khitan cavalry, their knives out of their scabbards and their bows strung, they seemed to be incapable of fighting, and it was not shameful to surrender to such a person, so the Shi Wei tribe surrendered.After Shi Wei surrendered, the power of Khitan grew stronger.When Abaoji and Helu came back, their uncle Yu Yue was very happy, and praised them for conquering a tribe without bloodshed and obtaining so many livestock and large pastures.But at this time, something happened in the tribe.

A Baoji, the son of Yu Yue's uncle, and also A Baoji's cousin, is really not very good. In order to usurp power, he even killed his father and caused chaos.Misfortune happened to Xiao Qiang, the incident happened suddenly, and everyone was unprepared, what should we do?All of a sudden the whole tribe was in chaos.Under such circumstances, A Baoji raised his arms and led two thousand elite soldiers to counter the rebellion and captured his cousin alive. After his cousin was captured alive, he refused to admit that he did it, saying that someone else had instigated him, and that he and the thief who instigated him were at odds.A Baoji asked where did the thief go?His cousin replied that he had died in the rebellious army, which became death without proof.A Baoji clearly knew that his cousin was talking nonsense, and he also knew that this man was extremely dangerous, he would not accept soft and hard, it was useless to threaten him with the criminal law, and it was useless to educate him with benevolence and righteousness, keeping him would be a disaster.But Abaoji was very kind. He said to Helu, our younger brother killed his father, he committed a heinous crime, but now that he has pleaded guilty, he is our brother and sister after all, so don't kill him, but we must keep a close eye on him, and don't let him do it again. Make chaos.

A Baoji made great contributions to the suppression of the chaos this time. After the unanimous recommendation of the tribe, A Baoji first served as Yi Li Jin and took control of the military power, and then served as Yu Yue and Yi Li Jin. He became the prime minister and the supreme commander of the Khitan tribe. The status rose immediately.
