Chapter 99 In the second quarter, Aguda fights

When Wanyan Aguda refused to dance to Emperor Tianzuo, he was not yet the leader of the Jurchen tribe.After the head fish feast, because the leader of the Jurchen (that is, the elder brother of Wanyan Aguda) passed away, Wanyan Aguda will succeed as the Jurchen Jiedushi, but this matter needs to be formally appointed by the Liao Dynasty to take effect, but the appointment has been delayed issued.Could it be that Emperor Tianzuo of Liao still bears a grudge against Wanyan Aguda? It's really not that Emperor Tianzuo hated Aguda, but Emperor Tianzuo forgot about it.The emperor is hunting all day long, and there is a lack of a prime minister in the court. He may not even think of it. The remote frontier, the barbarians, and the lack of a Jiedu envoy, is this something worth thinking about as an old man?But Aguda thought that he held a grudge when I didn't dance for him back then. This man was too stingy and he would take revenge. It seemed that he was going to do something to me, so I acted first.As a result, Aguda formally raised troops against the Liao Dynasty in 1114 AD, gathered thousands of people, and conquered Ningjiang Prefecture in one fell swoop.

After Ningjiang Prefecture was brought down, Emperor Tianzuo also realized that this matter was more serious. It was a conspiracy to subvert our Daliao.Therefore, Emperor Tianzuo summoned the ministers to discuss the matter, how to deal with this matter?At that time, a minister said that although our Daliao army is large, we have not fought a war for more than a hundred years. After the Chanyuan alliance, we have not fought a war with the Song Dynasty, but we have fought with Xixia, but lost.Although the number of Jurchens is small, as the saying goes, "Jurchens are less than ten thousand, and ten thousand are invincible."The Jurchens cannot reach 10,000, and if they reach 10,000, they will be invincible in the world. They are brave and good at fighting, and should not be underestimated.If you want to fight Jurchen now, you must "send all kinds of soldiers and use coercion" ("Liao Shi Xiaotao Suwo Biography"). Kill him.After hearing this, Emperor Tianzuo asked his brother-in-law Xiao Fengxian. Xiao Fengxian was a privy envoy in charge of military affairs. The emperor asked, what is the idea?Xiao Fengxian said, how undignified is that for the Kingdom of Heaven?To beat a little Jurchen with thousands of people, shall we send an army from all over the country?What Xiao Fengxian actually thought was, if that were the case, how much would my workload be?Deploying troops and generals, transporting food and grass, arranging troops and forming formations are all the work of my Privy Council, how can this be done!It is not advisable, "but the soldiers north of the water skiing are enough to refuse" ("The Biography of Xiao Tao Suwo in Liao History").Let's just scare people and scare him, and that's it. What's so scary about Jurchen?Emperor Tianzuo listened to Xiao Fengxian's words.He also has the same kind of thinking, one thing more is worse than one thing less. Since you said that you don't need to send soldiers from all over the country, I am happy to take it easy.

In the battle of Chuhedian, the Liao army was defeated by the Jurchen soldiers.After Jurchen's two victories in two battles, Wanyan Aguda was supported by his ministers and became emperor in 1115, with the country name Dajin.
