Chapter 111 In the fourth quarter, the Jin army came to attack

Yelu Dashi knew that Emperor Tianzuo was weak and incompetent, but he still respected Emperor Tianzuo as the monarch, and used it to call on the soldiers of the Liao army in Kedun to restore the country and rebuild the country.So, where is Emperor Tianzuo at this time?What was the final result of Emperor Tianzuo? Half a year after Yelu Dashi left Emperor Tianzuo, Emperor Tianzuo had nowhere to go. He couldn't stay any longer, so he prepared to defect to Dangxiang. Emperor Dangxiang was said to be his nephew. He was going to find his nephew, but he was hunted down by the Jin army. captured.When he was captured, he was so miserable that he had to eat ice and snow to satisfy his hunger, and all the luggage was seized by the Jin army.There are two different records about his ending: one is that Emperor Tianzuo died of illness in the second year after being captured, and he was in his fifties; another is that he lived until the fourth emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Hai The era of Wanyanliang, the mausoleum king.Wan Yanliang hunted and took him as a prey. At that time, Emperor Tianzuo was over eighty years old. He was as proficient in bows and horses as before. Shoot to death, ten thousand horses will be turned into flesh.In any case, it is certain that he will be a prisoner, and he will definitely die in the Kingdom of Jin, and he will be buried in today's Liaoning.Half a year after Yelu Dashi left, Emperor Tianzuo was defeated.If Dashi doesn't leave Emperor Tianzuo, it is very likely that Emperor Tianzuo will be stewed by the Kingdom of Jin.Yelu Dashi resolutely left Emperor Tianzuo, accumulated strength in Kedun City, and recuperated. Xu Tu made another move and stayed in Kedun City for five years.What has Dashi been doing these five years? There are no records in "History of Liao Dynasty" and "Records of Khitan Kingdom", and only a little clue can be seen from the history books of Jin, Song and Xixia.

The first is to recuperate and accumulate strength.Ketun City is rich in water and grass. In the Tula River Basin of Mongolia today, there are green mountains and green waters, suitable for grazing. It is very beneficial for the boulders to accumulate strength and wash away the dust.Second, Dashi sent envoys to contact Tatar and Xixia.After the Jin Dynasty annihilated the Northern Song Dynasty, the eyes of the Jurchen aristocrats have been attracted by the affluent Han land.There were gold and silver mountains in the Southern Dynasties, and the soldiers were so cowardly, so Jin's attention was on the south.The place where Dashi was staying was separated from us by more than three thousand miles of desert. Let him fend for himself, ignore him, and he will die of sleepiness after a few years.The Jin Dynasty took a defensive position against Dashi and mainly attacked the Southern Song Dynasty.Therefore, Dashi contacted Tatar and Xixia, and even sent envoys to contact the Southern Song Dynasty in 1129. The messenger did not arrive, but entrusted the Han people to deliver the letter to Zhang Jun, the envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi in the Song Dynasty at that time, and Zhang Jun forwarded the letter to the court. .

This foreign policy was very successful. When Jin wanted to raise troops from all over the country to attack Song Dynasty, the guards in Shaanxi told Emperor Taizong that Shaanxi soldiers could not move.why?Yelu Dashi is watching. If we dispatch Shaanxi soldiers, Yelu Dashi will come to attack us.It seems that Yelu Dashi's power is already very strong at this time.Jin's war horses were mainly provided by Tatars, except for local production. However, Yelu Dashi successfully won over Tatars, and Tatars refused to provide Jin with war horses.Yelu Dashi also launched a tentative attack on Jin and captured Jin's northern second battalion.Jin Taizong realized the seriousness of the problem. In the past few years, Yelu Dashi's power has grown stronger due to the legacy of raising tigers. Unexpectedly, he recovered in the wild land in the far northwest. If he continues to ignore it, he will unite with Dangxiang and the Southern Song Dynasty , is very unfavorable to Daikin.Therefore, Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty ordered that Yelu Yujian, the surrendered general, be the vanguard, and lead the Jurchen and the Han army with tens of thousands of elites to cross the desert and attack Yelu Dashi.

Yeluyu saw that he was ordered to lead his troops to attack Dashi. To cross the desert, it is useless to have more troops, especially the infantry is absolutely useless, and the cavalry cannot be alone. Therefore, the number of troops cannot be large. Can't keep up, so Jin Bing only dispatched 10,000 people.At the time of departure, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin issued an imperial edict to all ethnic groups in the northwest, I want to destroy the traitor Dashi, and all your ministries must raise troops to cooperate.Unexpectedly, none of the ministries responded, and no one cooperated.Therefore, Yelu Yujian's troops retreated before they reached Ketun City.Jin Di was furious, what happened, we can't clean up even a small boulder?If you can't do it, replace it!Yeluyu saw that although he had achieved the high position of marshal and supervisor of the army in Jin Dynasty, he was a surrendered general after all, so he had to volunteer, led more than 20,000 elite troops, recruited many war horses, and came again aggressively.

At this time, Dashi was about to make a calculation in his heart. With my current strength, it might not be a problem to defeat the current Jin army. After all, he only has 20,000 people.The question is, what do I do after I beat him?
