Feelings【Part 5】
Thousands of miles away from Wu and Yue, I will see you tonight in my dream.
The shape and body are not my relatives, the quilt and pillow are my hometown and county.
It turns into a butterfly and is still unknown, but the Sichuan fish is in an enviable position.
There are fairy mountains on the sea, and I will feel magical changes when I return.
After the dream of restoring the country was shattered, Yelu Dashi temporarily gave up the idea of the Eastern Expedition. However, he did not give up, but chose to continue to develop and expand the Western Liao Empire. Under his governance, Western Liao has become harmonious and peaceful, and people's lives have become
He was also very happy, and the world was in great rule. At this time, although Yelu Dashi could not continue his eastward expedition, he chose to march westward. He wanted to conquer the dynasties in the west, continue to expand the territory of the empire in the west, and revive the glory of the Khitan in the west.
When Yelu Dashi wanted to advance westward, the first enemy they faced was the Seljuq Dynasty, which occupied a large area of Central Asia. When they first started to advance westward, Xiliao did not encounter any strong resistance. Until they reached Hefei,
Here they encountered strong resistance from the Sihara Khanate.
However, the combat effectiveness of the Xihara Khanate was far inferior to that of Xiliao, and they were soon defeated.
Mahmud, the Great Khan of the Western Hara Khanate, decided to ask for help from his vassal Seljuk dynasty, and asked the Seljuq dynasty to send troops to assist on the grounds of protecting the Muslims.
Sanjar of the Seljuk Dynasty spread the news to surrounding countries, and they all felt very panic when facing the cavalry of Xiliao. So, they all responded to the call of the Seljuk Dynasty. Soon, Sanjar summoned
He led the army of more than 100,000 troops across the Amu Darya River and marched into the area in the middle of the river.
At this time, Mahmud was fighting against the Qaloru people again. Mahmud found that he was no match for the Qalulu people, so he had no choice but to ask Sanjar for help again. Sanjar saw that his vassal country was being bullied, so he
He led the army to attack Geluolu.
Geluolu was a vassal state of Xiliao. They heard that Sanjar was leading an army of 100,000 people to kill them. They had never seen such a formation before, so they had no choice but to ask for help from their overlord, Xiliao.
Naturally, Yelu Dashi could not sit idly by, but he did not want to be an enemy of the powerful Seljuk dynasty. So he wrote a letter to Sanjar, interceding on behalf of the Gelulu people, and expressing the hope that both parties could develop peacefully together.
It is a pity that Sanjar, relying on his 100,000 troops, did not pay attention to these foreign Khitans at all. Not only did he ignore Yelu Dashi's intercession, but he forced Xiliao to embrace Islam in his letter.
He also threatened Yelu Dashi in the letter.
The peaceful situation between the two sides broke down, and each began to prepare for war, with a life-and-death attitude.
The two armies met on the Katwan grassland north of Samarkand, and started an unprecedented battle here. Both sides divided their armies into left, right and center. When the battle just started, the center armies of both sides fell into a stalemate.
Jiaer first broke the deadlock and dealt a heavy blow to the Xiliao army. Yelu Dashi's camp suddenly fell into a bitter battle.
Yelu Dashi always remained calm and did not lose confidence because of the immediate defeat. Instead, he changed his strategy in time and quickly reversed the situation, putting Sanjar's army into a dilemma where it was surrounded by enemies on three sides.
Sanjar thought that with his large number of soldiers and generals, he would be able to survive until the end and destroy the Xiliao army. However, he never expected that if he did not know himself and the enemy, he would only die.
Tens of thousands of Sanjar's troops were killed, and kings and ministers of several countries were captured. Sanjar finally managed to escape in embarrassment with the remaining defeated soldiers.
In this war, Yelu Dashi defeated the powerful Seljuq dynasty with a small amount and a large number, and defeated the powerful Seljuk dynasty. After this battle, within a few years, the Seljuk dynasty that once dominated Central Asia was completely destroyed. Yelu Dashi
It also successfully conquered the Western Hara Khanate, and it was during this period that it reached its peak state in the Western Liao Dynasty.
Insights on life: Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, pots, pans, vegetables, knives and forks... things in the courtyard are so trivial that they make people boring. It doesn't matter if you are bored. Don't be serious when you are bored. There are very few things between a family.
We are all one family, so we have to use a "microscope" to look at problems and distinguish right from wrong. What's the point?
For example, some women like to keep their homes clean, tidy and bright. This is originally a good advantage, but if it is pursued too much, it may become unbearable. I have a friend who doesn't want to go home because his wife is old.
It’s nagging him about this and that: his socks are thrown around, his feet are placed around, and the books and magazines he has read are not returned in time... As time goes by, the husband is always unable to meet his wife’s standards, and he becomes annoyed with his wife’s requirements.
It's so annoying (his wife is also fed up with his "repeated admonishment"). The happiness of marriage is completely lost in mutual hatred and disputes. It's really sad that the eternal vows before marriage are no match for a pair of socks misplaced in the corner.
But this is the reality. Therefore, you should learn more about accommodation and accommodation at home. You must know that living with a person not only means that you have to enjoy his advantages, but more importantly, you have to accommodate his shortcomings and accommodate them.
his past.
Let’s hold a men’s criticism meeting again. It seems that women’s nature is to love beauty and be greedy for cheap. Most women can’t help but be tempted in front of beautiful clothes, small objects or cheap goods. They may not regret it until their wallet is deflated, but next
I forgot it again and again. As a man, don’t criticize this kind of thing too much. Everyone has some shortcomings. My classmate’s wife often buys things for home that she doesn’t need. My classmate told
I, his wife, have been fond of bringing vases home for a while. The reasons are always very good: they are beautiful and cheap. They cost more than 100 at IKEA, but mine only cost 5... She never considers the home.
