Chapter 120 The third quarter leads the wolf into the house

The national power of Xiliao has been weakened, but at this critical moment, Yelu Zhilugu kindly took in a person, but he did not expect to lead the wolf into the house, which directly led to the demise of Xiliao.So what's going on here? In the process of unifying Mongolia, Genghis Khan defeated the Naiman tribe, and the Naiman tribe Taiyang Khan was defeated. The son of the Naiman tribe, Qu Chulu, the prince of the Naiman tribe, was desperate and defected to Xiliao.Yeluzhi Lugu saw that Qu Chulu was so poor that he came to vote, moved his heart of compassion, accepted Qu Chulu, and married his daughter to him, and Qu Chulu became the son-in-law of Xiliao.What Yelu Zhilugu did was tantamount to leading a wolf into the house. He took him in without knowing Qu Chulu at all.This is a white-eyed wolf who can't get enough to eat. Even if he is filial to Luzhen, taking him in is to establish the biggest enemy for Xiliao-Mongolia.After the Mongols defeated Naiman, they cast a net everywhere to catch Qu Chulu. Isn't it bad luck to take him in at this time?

According to historical records, Yelu Zhilu Gu "went out hunting in the autumn, but the barbarian king Qu Chulu captured him with eight thousand ambush soldiers and took his place. Then he took over the clothes of the Liao Dynasty and respected Zhilu Gu as the Supreme Emperor and the Queen as the Empress Dowager. He asked about his daily life day and night , to serve the end. Zhilu died in ancient times, and Liao died" ("The History of Liao Emperor Tianzuo Benji IV").Not only did Qu Chulu not be grateful to Yeluzhi Lugu, but instead usurped the throne of Xiliao.He took advantage of Zhilugu's hunting opportunity, planted eight thousand soldiers in an ambush on the only way Zhilugu must pass, and captured Zhilugu.Then Zunzhi Lugu was the Supreme Emperor, and the Empress was the Empress Dowager, and greeted him day and night.Qu Chulu asked hypocritically, are you in a good mood today?Do you think he can be happy?Two years later, Yelu Zhilugu died of grief and anger, and Qu Chulu became the emperor of Xiliao. Although the country's title has not been changed, the rule of the Khitan ethnic Yelu clan is considered to be over. The emperor was replaced by Qu Chulu, a Naiman. Out of law.

If Qu Chulu works hard and continues to operate, it is not impossible. The problem is that he has done the opposite and made Xiliao people resentful.The people of Xiliao became angry and rebelled one after another, and the smoke of war was everywhere.We look forward to the stars and the moon, and hope that the savior will come soon and drive away Qu Chulu.In 1218 AD, the Mongolian army led by the famous general Jebe attacked Xiliao, and Xiliao was destroyed by Mongolia. From Yelu Dashi proclaiming himself emperor in 1132 to his demise in 1218, Xiliao existed in Xinjiang and Central Asia for nearly 90 years.After the demise of Xiliao, some survivors established a regime in today's Kerman Province of Iran, which was called Post Xiliao, also called Erman Kingdom.However, this regime has been completely Islamized, and has nothing to do with Khitan's laws and cultural relics, so the history of the Liao Dynasty came to an end when Xiliao fell.
