Chapter 12 Chapter 5 Jingzu dies of illness

It was Wu Gunai's efforts that laid a solid foundation for the Wanyan tribe to finally unify the Jurchen and establish the Dajin Kingdom.Then, with the growth of Wugunai's power, will Wugunai's submissive attitude towards the Liao Kingdom begin to change? At this time, Wu Gunai was still very respectful to the Liao Kingdom, and tried every means not to provoke the Liao Kingdom.He knew that it was not time to contend with Liao.The task of contending with the Liao State was completed by his grandson Aguda a few generations later.But Wu Gunai respected the Liao Kingdom and fulfilled his duties as a minister.

In the eighth year of Xianyong (1072) of the Liao Kingdom, it was the time when Daozong Yelu Hongji was in power.Liao Daozong was the longest-lived and most stupid emperor in the history of the Liao Kingdom, the one who killed his queen and only son.When he was in power, a Jurchen leader named Xie Ye rebelled. These rebellions of the Jurchen Ministry did not raise troops against the Liao Dynasty. It was Wanyan Aguda who really dared to raise the banner to rebel against the Liao Dynasty.These rebellions may be because they did not pay tribute, blocked Liao's Eagle Road, because Liao encountered obstacles when he went to buy Costin, or were disrespectful to Liao, etc. In Liao's eyes, even a small matter was regarded as a rebellion.Now that Xie Ye rebelled, Wu Gunai took the initiative to ask the emperor of the Liao Kingdom to invite troops. Instead of sending troops from the great powers of the Celestial Dynasty, the humble officials and their troops were enough to wipe out the rebel bandits.Of course the emperor of the Liao Kingdom was very happy. Wu Gunai, the Jurchen governor, was not for nothing.Zhunzao, you go.So the Wanyan tribe, whose weapons and equipment are completely different from those of the Xieye tribe, was dispatched. They were wearing iron armor, with iron knives hanging from their waists, and the arrows they shot were iron arrows. It is conceivable that Xie Ye was defeated with a bang, and his tribe was naturally annexed by the Wanyan tribe.

After the war, the first thing Wu Gunai did was to offer prisoners to the Khitan court.Whose credit is it?The great emperor leads wisely, and the soldiers work hard. I, Wu Gunai, have no merits, so don't mention them.The emperor looked at Longyan Dayue, the more stupid the emperor, the more he likes such a courtier, the emperor is wise, the soldiers use their lives, the humble minister has no merit, how sensible!After Wu Gunai defeated Xie Ye's tribe, he did not say that all the spoils were mine, but offered prisoners to the imperial court.Why does the imperial court want these people?It's all yours!As for the spoils, we have plenty of pigs, cattle and sheep here, and they all belong to you!Moreover, the imperial court also rewarded a large amount of treasures and promoted officials.With his back against the Liao Kingdom, Wu Gunai was able to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and his power was growing.

After Wu Gunai won the battle, he became seriously ill on the way to the teacher and died, very similar to his father Wanyan Shilu's ending.
