Section 6: The End of the Khitan Dynasty

Feelings【Part 4】

Gu Honghai came up, but Chi Huang didn't dare to care.

I saw two kingfishers from the side, nesting in the three-bead tree.

If you try to master the precious wood peak, you won’t be afraid of the golden pill?

The United States serves patients and accuses them of being clever, but the gods are evil?

Now I am traveling in the dark world, how can I admire the Yi!

Just as the Xiliao Dynasty was gradually declining, a man came all the way to Xiliao to seek refuge with Yelu Zhilugu. This man was Quchulu, the prince of the Naiman tribe.

The Naiman tribe was nomadic in the Altai Mountains. After Yelu Dashi established the Western Liao Dynasty, they once submitted to the Western Liao Dynasty. Later, they broke away from the Western Liao rule and submitted to the Jin Kingdom.

After the rise of the Mongol Empire, the Naiman tribe was defeated by Genghis Khan. The tribesmen followed the prince Qu Chulu to escape. They ran all the way, and finally the food they carried with them was exhausted, so they had to flee for their lives separately.

After some consideration, Qu Chulu decided to defect to the Western Liao Dynasty. Yelu Zhilugu happily accepted him and married his daughter to him.

Not long after, a rebellion broke out within the Western Liao Dynasty, and each country to which it belonged rebelled and seceded one after another. Western Liao fell into a situation of internal and external troubles.

Qu Chulu realized that his opportunity had come. Although he had defected to Xiliao, he always wanted to restore his old tribe. At this time, he took the initiative to ask Yelu Zhilugu to regroup the old Naiman tribe and let them

To support and strengthen the Western Liao Dynasty.

Yelu Zhilugu was very happy to see that his son-in-law took the initiative to help him out of the predicament in such a critical moment. He gave Qu Chulu a lot of business treasures, named him Khan, and allowed him to go out.

Recruit troops and buy horses.

Qu Chulu took the treasure that Yelu Zhilugu had rewarded him, and soon became entangled with many of his old troops, and his strength suddenly increased greatly. However, he did not return to the original Western Liao Dynasty as agreed before. Instead, he led his troops.

They burned, killed and looted in the territory of the Western Liao Dynasty.

Qu Chulu joined forces with Mahamo to attack the Western Liao Dynasty and carve up their land. The two hit it off. Qu Chulu defeated the Western Liao army and led his army non-stop towards Balashagon, the imperial capital of the Western Liao Dynasty.

Come.

This time, Yelu Zhilugu personally led the army to counterattack Qu Chulu, and Qu Chulu's army was defeated. He fled north with the remaining defeated soldiers.

Not long after, he waited for a good opportunity. After the war between the Western Liao Dynasty and Khwarezm, on the way back, the army did not obey discipline and disturbed the people along the way, causing public resentment.

When the Xiliao army returned to the imperial capital Balasagon, the people in the city thought that the enemy was coming, so they closed the city gate tightly to prevent them from entering. The Xiliao army began to attack the city with elephants. After the city was broken, they

The massacre lasted three days and nights in the city, with corpses piling up like mountains.

The treasury of the Western Liao Dynasty had been emptied due to successive years of war. The prime minister of the Western Liao Dynasty called on the generals to gather the property that the soldiers had robbed into the treasury. The generals were angry and fled with their soldiers.

Qu sent troops to ambush Yelu Zhilugu on his way out for hunting, took the opportunity to sneak attack him, and captured Yelu Zhilugu.

Qu Chulu did not kill him because of his old relationship. He named him the Supreme Emperor and went to pay his respects to him every morning and evening. Two years later, Yelu Zhilugu died of depression. Qu Chulu became a veritable king.

Emperor of Western Liao.

But after he became emperor, he was ignorant and acted recklessly, and the voice of dissatisfaction in the country became stronger and stronger.

Moreover, he believed that successive judgments were due to different beliefs, so he adopted high-pressure rule in the country and opposed people's belief in Islam.

He not only did this at home, but after the Khitan army captured Hotan in Xinjiang, he also forced the local residents to give up their belief in Islam, otherwise they would have to wear Khitan clothes. The local people decided to wear Khitan clothes. Even so,

Quchulu still sent people to interrupt the Muslims' prayers and destroy their scripture schools.

Seeing that Qu Chulu had no intention of letting them go, the people of Khotan finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to resist strongly. However, their strength was weak and they could not resist the powerful Western Liao Dynasty. They could only place their hope in the blessing of the gods.

Not long after, their wish came true. Genghis Khan sent a general with 20,000 troops from East Asia to attack the Western Liao Dynasty.

When Qu Chulu heard that the Mongolian army was coming, he was so frightened that he immediately fled westward. The Mongolian army entered Balashagon. Since the rulers of Western Liao had long been unpopular, the Mongolian army did not encounter any resistance.

The ministers and the people surrendered to them. Qu Chulu became a rat that everyone crossed the street to beat, hiding in Tibet, and was eventually killed in the Dalaz Valley. At this point, the Western Liao Empire was officially declared destroyed.

The Khitans withdrew from the stage of history, and a new empire emerged on the grassland - the Mongol Empire.
