Section 5 War with the Gur Dynasty
After the Katwan War, another opponent of the Western Liao Dynasty, Afghan Gur Dynasty, appeared, and he continued to extend his claws into the territory of the Western Liao Dynasty. In the end, it was precisely because of this dynasty that the Western Liao Dynasty completely declined and shook their ruling foundation.
The Gur Dynasty was originally a superpower south of the Amu River. As their development gradually became less satisfied with the status quo, they sent troops to occupy Balihei. The city of Balihei was a vassal of the Western Liao Dynasty. After the Gur Dynasty occupied this place, Balihei stopped paying tribute to the Western Liao Dynasty. All this naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Western Liao Dynasty.
Not long after, the Gur Dynasty clashed with Khwarezm again.
After the Seljuk Sultan Tugriel was killed, his head was presented to Teksh, the king of Khwarezm. In order to improve his prestige, Teksh sent someone to transfer his cell phone to the Caliph of the Abbasid monarch.
The Caliph did not realize that his dynasty was already declining. After receiving the head of Tuglier, he gradually lost sight of himself. He thought Khwarezm was a cultured and educated man, and wanted to take the opportunity to ask for Iraq's territory.
These territories were the land that Tekesh had finally obtained, so they would not be easily handed over to the Abbasid Dynasty. In a rage, Tekesh sent troops to attack Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid Dynasty.
When the Caliph heard about it, he was so scared that he was out of his mind. He immediately sent someone to ask for peace from Tekesh, but he was ignored. He had to turn around and ask for help from the monarch of the Guer Dynasty, Gasudin.
In this way, the conflict between the Gur Dynasty and Khwarezm began.
When Tekesh saw the army of the Gur Dynasty coming, he was worried that he was not their opponent, so he sent an envoy to ask for help from the Western Liao Dynasty and scared the Western Liao Dynasty that if they were silent, it was very likely that the Khwarezm would be annexed by the Gur Dynasty. Not only that, after the Khwarezm barrier between the Western Liao Dynasty and the Gur Dynasty, the Gur Dynasty would continue to advance westward and even threaten the Western Liao Dynasty. This sentence really touched the heart of the Western Liao Emperor Yelu Zhilugu. He had always been resentful of Barihei's loss. So Yelu Zhilugu sent a general to lead a large army to fight against the Gur Dynasty.
At first, the Western Liao army entered the territory of the Gur Dynasty, burned, killed and looted all the way, and soon attacked the city of Balihei. And threatened the Gur Dynasty. If they did not give up the city of Balihei, they would attack. The Gur Dynasty was not frightened by the army of the Western Liao, but adopted a strategy of resolute resistance. The chief of the Balihei City joined forces with the troops of some surrounding castles to defeat the Western Liao army. The Western Liao army was chased all the way to the Amu River, and countless people fell into the river and were drowned.
After receiving the news of the defeat of the army, Yelu Zhilu Valley was very sad. He immediately sent people to Khra to find Tekesh and asked him to compensate the losses of the Western Liao Dynasty. After this battle, Tekesh thoroughly understood the combat effectiveness of the Western Liao army. He did not take the Western Liao Dynasty seriously and directly rejected Yelu Zhilugu's request.
Yelu Zhilu Valley was furious and immediately sent troops to attack Khwarezm. He did not expect that the Western Liao army would be defeated by Khwarezm. But Tekesh did not want to continue to fight against the Khitans, so even though the battle was won, he continued to pay tribute to the Khitans and shake hands with Yelu Zhilugu to make peace.
It is also because of this that when Khra war with the Gur Dynasty again, Yelu Zhilugu sent a large army to provide assistance. This time, the Gur Dynasty was defeated.
However, this war did not bring any benefits or benefits to the Western Liao Dynasty, but instead cleared obstacles to the development of Khwarezm. It was from now on that Khwarezm officially began to rise.
Later, Tekesh died and his son Mahamo inherited the throne. After he became king, Khwarezm's national strength increased day by day and gradually surpassed the Western Liao Dynasty. Therefore, Khwarezm decisively stopped paying tribute to the Western Liao Dynasty.
Of course, Yelu Zhilugu did not agree, and he had to take care of this matter. So he sent the prime minister of Western Liao to question Mahamo. At this time, Mahamo was busy dealing with the Khanate of the Khanate and had no time to deal with these matters. So he handed over this matter to his mother Tuerhan Kedun. He received the envoys of Western Liao with noble etiquette, then paid the tribute owed, and sent several envoys from his country to return to Western Liao with the prime minister of Western Liao to apologize to Yelu Zhilugu.
It was obvious that this was not Mahamo's original intention. After his war ended, he immediately stopped paying tribute and began to conquer the Hezhong area.
As Khwarezm became stronger and Mahamo's appetite grew bigger and bigger. It not only wanted to break free from the control of the Western Liao Dynasty, but also wanted to be the emperor of the entire Islamic world.
At this moment, Mahamo waited for an opportunity, and a people's uprising broke out in Bukhara led by Sanjar.
Bukhara is the second largest city in the Sikhara Khanate. Since the Sikhara Khanate surrendered to the Western Liao Dynasty, this city has been basically semi-independent. His real power is in the hands of a religious family, and people habitually call it the "Burhan Dynasty" and their leader is called "Sader Jahan".
This family not only owns a large area of land, but also often levy high taxes in the name of the Western Liao Dynasty. Year after day, the people gradually could not bear it anymore. Finally, under the leadership of Sanjar, he rebelled, deprived the Sadr and Jiahan family of their property, and drove them out of the city.
Mahamo seized this opportunity and led his army to take down Bukhara in one fell swoop, quelling the local people's uprising.
But Mahamo knew that although the strength of Khwarezm had increased and the Western Liao Empire had begun to decline, he was still not sure of his own strength alone, so he found the Ottoman king of the Sikhala Khanate.
The Ottoman had long wanted to get rid of the rule of the Western Liao Dynasty, so when Mahamo found himself, he agreed happily without saying a word.
Yelu Zhilugu realized that he could not continue to let Mahamo go like this, so he immediately mobilized 30,000 troops to kill with the Central Region.
Mahamo and Ottoman were defeated, and Mahamo returned to his original territory with the remaining defeated generals. After returning, he did not fall into a slump because of this, but instead worked harder and vowed to take revenge.
Two years later, Mahamo felt that the time was ripe, so he united with the Sikhala Khanate again and won over the Muslims in the Hezhong area. In order to encourage them, he took the banner of jihad and launched an attack on the Western Liao Dynasty.
The troops of both sides fought fiercely, and the Western Liao army was defeated in the end, and the remaining troops fled. From then on, Mahamo was famous and from now on, Khwarezm officially broke away from the rule of the Western Liao Dynasty and quickly entered its heyday. On the other hand, the Western Liao Dynasty, accompanied by the rebellion of Khwarezm and the Xikhala Khanate, other vassal states also left one after another. In the end, the dynasty would go towards complete destruction!
Life insight: This is life, there are tangible and intangible wars every day. It is said to be a bit of a piece of cake, trivial, and it is still a joke if you say too much. However, everyone is tested between the vulgarity and triviality of life. It is not difficult to love a "perfect" person, but it is difficult to love a "deficient" person, and it is especially difficult to love such a person for a long time. Only in this way can human feelings appear deep and heavy, moving. After all, under the gaze of God, who dares to keep saying that they are "perfect" people? Loving someone means accepting everything about him (or her) wholeheartedly and unconditionally, including under the cover of his strong appearance.
The hypocrisy behind fragility, honesty, mediocrity under the appearance of talent and laziness in the opposite direction of hard work, and even tolerate all kinds of life habits that have never been discovered before marriage. The honest, kind, beautiful, and virtuous are your wife; the hypocrisy, artificial, stingy, and vulgar are also your wife. The arrogant ones are your husband, beating his wife at home, scolding his children, speaking vulgar words, and behave vulgarly. The person who is greasy in front of others, wearing a suit and ties is your husband, the person who is picking his nose and picking his feet behind others, and the person who never washes his socks is also your husband. If he denies the ugly side of his lover, he will deny his everything; if he denies his everything, he will deny your own life.
Some people say: If you love someone, you should also fall in love with his (her) shortcomings. This seems beautiful, but in fact it is difficult to do, and it is not worth promoting. There are few shortcomings that are cute. If you love it, it is not a shortcoming but an advantage. My wife has many advantages, but also some shortcomings, such as being impatient, such as not being tidy at home. To be honest, I can't do it when I want me to fall in love with her shortcomings, but I can try my best to accept it because I know that no one is perfect, and I also have many shortcomings. When I was in love, I knew the shortcomings of her impatient nature, but I think her shortcomings are within my tolerance range, and I can accept it without having to endure it. After getting married, I found that she was slightly lacking in housework. What should I do? Just say it moderately and add the necessary ones to accommodate.
Whether it is a lover or a spouse, you can catch the big and let go of the small. As long as it is not a big matter of principle, why both parties are so tired?
Life is realistic and love exists, and there is no doubt about this, but the spoon always touches the edge of the pot. When two people stumble together, it is less true.
There is no scenery in familiar places, and there is no great man in the eyes of servants. Too many beauty and happiness often make people immersed in it unaware. I once read a cartoon called "Where is Blessing" in the newspaper, with a large word "Fu" painted on it. A man stood in the mouth of the word "Fu" and looked outward, asking, "Where is Blessing?" Where is Blessing? He really didn't know how Blessing was Blessing.
Why do people think of their love until the person they love leaves? Why do people think of their beauty? Why do they have to travel west so that they think of their love? Calm down and experience the happiness surrounding you like air!
