Section 5: An inconspicuous tribe turned around and became the Khitan Khan

The next song·Part 1

Tang Dynasty: Li Yi

The tribes of Fanzhou can end and hunt the meanders of the Yellow River day and night.

The song of Yan has not stopped, Hongfei is blocked, and the herds of horses are neighing and the grass is green.

For more than 100 years, the Khitan Khans have been selected from the Dahe clan. The Yaonan clan is just a weak tribe among the Khitan clan. They never dreamed that good luck would be their turn. One of the Yaonan clan's tribesmen was named Qu Lie.

The child was elected Khan.

In fact, there was a reason why Qu Lie was elected as the leader at this time. At that time, there was a man named Ke Tuyu in the Khitan who held military power, could kill and seize at will, and could depose khans. Originally, he was just a member of the Khitan tribe.

Yaguan, because of his bravery and proficiency in fighting, and his repeated military exploits, his prestige among the Khitans was getting higher and higher. He gradually became the opponent of the Khan at that time, but before the two of them had time to truly become enemies, the then Khan Li died.

After Li Hui died, his younger brother Li Suogu inherited the Khitan leadership. Li Suogu knew the situation he was facing, so he made up his mind to get rid of Ke Tuyu. Just when Li Suogu began to tighten his defenses

, he dreamed of killing Ke Chuyu.

But the matter was exposed, and Ke Tuyu, who learned the truth, took the lead and led a large army to counterattack Li Suogu. Li Suogu was severely defeated. He was forced to flee to the governor of Yingzhou, who promised to help Li Suogu.

They wanted to take revenge. They never dreamed that they would all become the victims of Ke Tuyu's sword.

Ke Tu became the boss of the Khitan tribe, but he was very aware of the situation at that time. He did not appoint himself as Khan, but instead recommended another brother of Li who was dead as Khan. Because this matter was not only an internal matter within the Khitan

As it happened, the Khitan Khan was still the governor of Songmo in the Tang Dynasty. But he suddenly asked the new Khan Li Yuyu to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to apologize and at the same time ask for the recognition of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Xuanzong simply followed the trend and married a princess to her.

Not long after, Li Yuyu died of illness. His younger brother came to the throne, and the newly succeeded Khan fought overtly and covertly with Ketuyu, but ultimately failed. Ketuyu established another khan, but this khan was a pro-Tang faction.

This can make it unbearable and eventually kill it.

Although the Tang Dynasty was dissatisfied with this, it was beyond its reach and had no choice but to let it go.

But unexpectedly, he thought hard about the candidate for the next khan. This time he decided to choose a puppet as khan among the weaker tribes, so he finally chose Qu Lie from the Yaonan tribe. After Qu Lie came to the throne, all major events began.

I left it to Ke Tuyu. Now Ke Tuyu was very happy and felt that he had chosen the right person this time.

Soon, the matter spread to the Tang Dynasty. Tang Xuanzong was furious, and suddenly he wanted to draw a clear line with the Tang Dynasty and throw himself into the arms of the Turks. Under this situation, Tang Xuanzong decided to send a large army to attack the Khitan. The Tang Dynasty

A great victory.

Ke Tuyu not only did not want to repent, but instead moved reinforcements from the Turks. Youzhou suffered heavy losses, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent General Zhang Shougui to attack Ke Tuyu. Zhang Shougui decided to start from within the Khitan. He took advantage of the internal contradictions in Khitan, and finally defeated Ketu by cooperating with the inside and outside.

With Zhang Shougui's internal support, Li Guozhe of the Dahe clan killed Ketuyu and Qulie Khan and became the Khitan Khan.

Although the Dahe clan has been the leader of the Khitan for hundreds of years, after several twists and turns by Ke Tuyu, the strength and prestige of the Dahe clan have already declined. Soon, Li Guozhe's subordinate Yerunieri killed Li Guozhe

The whole family re-elected Li Huaixiu of the Yaonian clan as the khan, who was also the Zuwu khan in history.

In this way, the leadership of the Khitan finally fell into the hands of the Yaonian clan. The subsequent Khitan Khans were also selected from the Yaonian clan. Yerunyeri was also awarded great power due to his meritorious service. Later Yelu Abaoji was his successor.

Yerunyeri was posthumously named the ancestor of the Liao Dynasty.

Life insights: There are many times in life when we encounter similar problems. Although all roads lead to Rome, the fastest way is not necessarily the shortest way. The shortest way to the destination may make us wasteful for some reason.

more time.

Lincoln once said: "I never determine for myself principles that are always applicable. I just try to do what is best for the situation at every specific moment." Bell, a great British scientist and the inventor of the telephone, said: "Don't leave people too often.

Take the main road and sometimes take a new path to the depths of the cloud forest, where you will discover things and scenery you have never seen before."

If a dragonfly is released in a room, it will fly desperately towards the glass window, but every time it will hit the glass. After struggling on it for a long time to regain consciousness, it will circle around the room, and then still face towards the glass.

It flew against the glass window, but of course, it still "hit the wall and came back."

In fact, the door next to it is open, but because it doesn't look as bright as this side, the dragonfly will not fly towards the door at all. It is the nature of most creatures to pursue light. No matter what kind of failures or setbacks they suffer, they will always

It is to resolutely pursue the bright direction. And when we see the dragonfly coming back after hitting the wall, we should realize this truth: Sometimes, in order to achieve our goal, we choose a direction that seems more distant and hopeless, but it will lead to

Get what you want faster; on the contrary, you will always circle between trying and failing.

There is no doubt that people are willing to walk on the straight road, bathing in the warm breeze, walking briskly on the flat road, which is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment. On the contrary, not many people are willing to take detours, which are detours in the eyes of ordinary people.

Twists and turns are dangerous and waste time. However, there are many detours in the journey of life. Mountain roads are winding, waterways are winding, and the road of life is also crooked. Therefore, those who like to take the straight road must learn to take detours.

Learning to take a detour and move forward in a roundabout way is applicable to many areas in life. For example, when you use one method to think about a problem or do something, and your thoughts are blocked, you might as well use another method and think from another angle.

, try to do it again in another way, and maybe you will have a sudden enlightenment, and you will have a feeling of "there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is a village with dark flowers and bright flowers".

Taking a detour does not mean that you are retreating in the face of life's difficulties, nor does it mean giving up, but that you are assessing the situation. Taking a detour is not only a way of life, but also an open-minded and optimistic life.

Attitudes and concepts. Cars on big roads tend to take smaller roads, and people on smaller roads tend to climb hillsides. Face life with an open-minded attitude, be brave and good at walking your own way, so that you will never be a loser, but a pioneer and innovator.

Although the spirit of never turning back is commendable, if we see the goal and there is a steep mountain wall in front of us and there is no path to climb, we'd better change the direction and take a detour. In order to achieve the goal
