Chapter 113 Chapter 22 The Western Liao Empire

Occupying the Eastern Kara Khanate, which is rich in water, grass and products, not only further expanded and consolidated the territory of the Western Liao Dynasty, but also allowed the 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Yelu Dashi to recuperate and accumulate strength. The Western Liao Dynasty is gradually becoming a powerful country in the Western Regions.But Yelu Dashi is not satisfied with this. He has always been obsessed with destroying the Jin Kingdom and recovering the Liao Kingdom. So what will Yelu Dashi do next in order to realize his dream? Emperor Yelu Dashi of the Western Liao Dynasty changed the year name from Yanqing to Kang after occupying Bala Shagun.In the first month of the third year of Kangguo (1136), shortly after entering Husi Ordu, Yelu Dashi issued an order to his soldiers to march eastward.

According to historical records: "Using green cattle and white horses to sacrifice to the sky, set up flags and swear to the people, saying: 'My Daliao Dynasty has become an emperor through hardships from the Taizu and Taizong, and its successors are endlessly happy, disregarding state affairs, thieves are rampant, and the world is falling apart." .I lead the people as far as Shuomo, hoping to restore the great cause and rejuvenate with light. This is not the place where I and you live forever.'" ("The History of Liao Emperor Tianzuo Ben Ji IV") Yelu Dashi gathered his troops and cut off the white horse and green Niu Jitian delivered an impassioned speech: "Our Daliao Dynasty started a business with great difficulty from Taizu Taizong. The successor monarchs, this mainly refers to Emperor Tianzuo, who was fatuous and unreasonable.I brought you to this distant foreign land, hoping that one day the rivers and mountains will be reorganized and the Daliao society will be restored.This place is not our hometown. Although a good garden is good, it is not a place to live for a long time. We must go back to our hometown.

Yelu Dashi passed on the decree, taking the most capable minister under his command, Xiao Wuli, the king of the Sixth Academy, as the Marshal of the capital, and led 70,000 cavalry to march eastward.The West Liao army had to pass through the vast desert along the way, and the climate of the desert was changeable. This time the expedition was by no means as smooth as Dashi imagined.Wind disasters, hailstorms, sandstorms, and plague epidemics, halfway through the army, before the enemy saw it, countless people and horses were already dead. If you go any further, you will be sent to death.In desperation, Xiao Wuli assassinated the class teacher and returned to Husi's ear. "Traveling for more than ten thousand miles yielded nothing, many cattle and horses died, and the troops were reined in. The big stone said: 'The emperor's heaven is smooth, and counting!'" ("The History of Liao Emperor Tianzuo Ben Ji IV") It seems that people plan things, and things happen in heaven.This is God's will, there is no way, it is too far away from the homeland, and it is impossible to go to the great desert, and the hope of recovering the homeland is shattered bit by bit.

Since I can't go back to my hometown, I can only manage my hometown well and treat my hometown as my hometown, so as to preserve the blood of Khitan and Daliao in the Western Regions.The Eastern Expedition will not work, and the Dashi will be changed to the Western Expedition to open up the territory for the Daliao.The Hezhong area has been known as rich since ancient times, and Xiliao is going to develop in the Hezhong area.The Hezhong area is the name in the history books of the Central Plains. It is probably located in the entire territory of Uzbekistan and the southwest of Kazakhstan. This area is recorded in the history books of the Han Dynasty in China. The Tang Dynasty once established the Hezhong Mansion here, so it is called the Hezhong area.
