Chapter 119 The decline of Xiliao in the second quarter

When Yelu Zhilugu succeeded to the throne, the state affairs of Xiliao had become increasingly corrupt, and the military and political power had already fallen into the hands of his foreign relative Xiao.So how will Yelu Zhilugu consolidate his rule after inheriting the great rule? In order to maintain the prestige of Xiliao in order to maintain the prestige of Xiliao when the national strength was already weakened, Yelu Zhilugu used troops abroad for years, which further consumed the already weak national strength.In particular, he was eager to occupy the Khorasan area, and started a battle with the new force in this area, the Gur Kingdom.The Kingdom of Gur is a regime in northern Afghanistan. The Liao army suffered a disastrous defeat in the war with the Kingdom of Gur, with 12,000 casualties and a great loss of national power.

Liao was defeated by the Kingdom of Guer, and the dependent countries began to separate from Germany.It turns out that your national strength is strong, and I have to obey you. Now that you can also be defeated by others, what am I afraid of?Khwarazmo even stopped paying tribute to Xiliao. Yeluzhi Lugu was very angry and sent envoys to Khwarazmo's court to question him.At that time, Huarazimosha was called Mahamo. He knew that his own national strength was not enough to openly turn against Xiliao. The centipede of Xiliao was dead but not stiff.Mahamosha was too frightened to meet the envoys of Xiliao, so he asked his mother to go to see them.His queen mother was more eloquent, sweet-talking, and admitted his mistake to the envoys of Xiliao, and promised to double the tribute to Liao, but put forward a condition that Xiliao go to fight against the Kingdom of Guer.Because the Gur Kingdom also asked me to pay tribute, you said I should give it to you or to him, he is a rising power, I can’t beat it, can you help me to fight the Gur Kingdom?Xi Liao took advantage of others' soft hands and short-sightedness. He didn't think about it, so he sent troops to attack the Kingdom of Gur, and the general he sent was the one who lost the battle back then.This time, Xiliao put all its power into a fierce battle with the Kingdom of Guer, and it really defeated the Kingdom of Guer.Because the Gur Kingdom is a new regime after all, not an opponent of Xiliao.But after one battle, the national power of Xiliao was almost exhausted.The snipe and the clam competed, and the fisherman benefited. Huarazimo took the opportunity to develop and grow, and Xiliao made wedding clothes for others, and took chestnuts from the fire for others.

After Xiliao defeated the Gur Kingdom, they asked for tribute from Khwarazmo, but Khwarazmo not only refused to pay, but also sent troops to attack Xiliao, defeated the Xiliao army, and captured Tayanggu, a general of Xiliao.Tayanggu is the one who fought fiercely with the Kingdom of Gur twice. He was defeated by the Kingdom of Gur the first time, but he won the second time. He is the savior of Khwarazmo.Tayanggu was captured, and Xiliao lost control of the Hezhong area. The Uighur Gaochang Kingdom also killed the young prisoner of Xiliao, defected to Mongolia, and became a vassal of the emerging Mongolian regime.By this time, the dependent countries on the east and west sides of Xiliao no longer existed, and the country's power was extremely weak.
