As the saying goes, you are not afraid of opponents like gods, but you are afraid of teammates like pigs. The reason why Dangxiang and Liao Kingdom conflicted was because someone in the Dangxiang tribe became Li Jiqian’s teammates like this.

Dangxiang during this period was not a centralized country like the later Western Xia Kingdom. Today, Dangxiang is just a loose tribal alliance.

Li Jiqian is just the chief of a tribe with a relatively powerful force in this tribe alliance, but because his tribe is relatively strong and he married the daughter of several other powerful tribe leaders, he is surrounded by the daughters of many other powerful tribe leaders.

He formed a very powerful group.

It was with the power of this group that Li Jiqian became the leader of the alliance, but although he is a leader, it does not mean that all the tribes of the alliance must listen to him.

The reason is very simple. For a long time, Li Jiqian, the leader, kept surrendering to Song, against Song, Liao, and Liao. This also led to his oversuppression by both Song and Liao sides.

In addition, in recent years, Li Jiqian's tribes have been suppressed by Li Jiguang a bit, which has led to the prestige of his leader gradually decline.

Just now, when he finally got the opportunity to take advantage of the great Song Dynasty mourning to go to Lingzhou and other places to make a fortune, the tribe in the rear that did not obey his orders became his teammates of pigs, causing a big trouble.

This is the thing. Although the whole country of Liao is a nomadic nation, everyone raises horses. But like humans, horses are like humans. It is said that one place is the same as the other, and it is the same for the other to be kept on horses.

The Liao Kingdom has a vast territory and has countless horse farms, but the horse farm that can raise the best horses in the true sense is still a bit far away from the Linhuang Mansion, the capital of the Liao Kingdom.

The horse farm is located in the western part of the Liao Kingdom, probably in the territory of the Xinjiang provinces in later generations. Although that place is far away, the horses produced there are used as horses for the Yelu royal family of the Great Liao Dynasty. There are always large quantities of horses offered in spring and summer every year.

The distant west was driven to Shangjing as a preparatory horse supply to be selected by the royal family.

However, something happened to the group of horses offered this spring because I don’t know which leader of the Dangxiang tribe was nervous and had to get the best horses.

Because the Dangxiang tribe actually belongs to the category of nomadic peoples, they are also fond of BMWs and have corresponding competitions.

Moreover, this kind of competition often becomes a channel for gambling among the Dangxiang nobles, and the gambling lottery results in this kind of competition are very huge every year.

The nervous tribe leader was very unwilling to accept it because he lost several consecutive competitions, but the horses he trained in his tribe were not very good, so he had the idea of ​​finding "foreign aid".

However, this "foreign aid" cannot be found by just looking for it. The Dangxiang tribes are quite strict in their own good horses, and it is basically impossible to make up for them.

But coincidentally, at this time, the horses that pay tribute to the capital every year happened to pass by the neighborhood where this tribe gathered.

The tribal leaders did not know that these horses were tributed to the Khitan royal nobles, because their tribe had not been moved here for a long time.

However, after observing these horses, the subordinates of his tribe came to a conclusion that these horses were all top-notch good horses from one in a hundred, and several levels higher than the so-called good horses raised in his tribe.

So, inspired by the fearless courage of the ignorant and under the control of the greedy **, the leader made a move that shocked the past and the present, that was, to send troops to rob these BMWs.

This is a big deal. The plan to attack Song was called off by Liao Shengzong at once because the incident of BMW being robbed was too embarrassing.

Originally, horses were the same as lifeline for the Khitans. The Khitans’ love and love for horses was equivalent to the love and love for cars in later generations.

Later generations would feel heartbroken and furious if their good car was slightly rubbed off. The same was true for the Khitans in this era. They could describe their horses as caring for.

Now the imperial horses that were given tribute to the royal family were actually robbed by a small Dangxiang tribe. How could the Khitan royal family not be angry? Where did it put the face of the Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu?

In addition, due to the rise of Han Dejang, a large number of Han people entered the political arena of the Liao Dynasty. Although these Han people were loyal to the Liao court, they still acted according to the guidance of Confucianism when they received Confucian cultural education.

For them, even if they have a feud with their neighbors, the monarch is newly lost, and it is immoral to launch an attack on their neighbors at this time.

So they have been looking for opportunities to stop the Liao Kingdom from going to war against Song at this time. It happened that this time the horse was robbed was a good opportunity, because once the war against Dangxiang was started, it would be impossible to fight against Song for the time being.

Because Dangxiang is small, it is not easy to deal with. If the war against Song was launched while fighting Dangxiang, the Liao Dynasty, which was trapped in a two-line battle, would inevitably pay a considerable price, which would be very unprofitable.

Therefore, all these Han ministers submitted memorials to express their support for the war against the Dangxiang tribe in order to avoid fighting against the Song Dynasty.

In order to strengthen Yelu Longxu's determination to go to war in Dangxiang, these Han ministers of Liao made a comeback from Li Jiqian to Liao and Song.

This is used to indicate that the Dangxiang people are all capricious villains, and they are all ungrateful wolves who are unfamiliar. How good the Da Liao was to them, but they not only rebel against the Da Liao and surrendered to the Song Dynasty, but also hijacked the Da Liao imperial edict.

Horses are tolerant.

They repeatedly belittled the Dangxiang tribe in this way, and the purpose of making Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu understand one truth, that is, they can no longer act benevolent and righteous in dealing with Dangxiang. For such a lowly nation, violence is the only language they can understand

, defeating them is the best choice.

At this time, the Emperor Liao Shengzong actually had his own ideas. At this time, the Emperor Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu was already twenty-five years old, but the problem was that he still did not take power until this age.

Now the regime of Liao Kingdom is still in the hands of his mother, Empress Dowager Chengtian, Xiao Chuo, and the attack on Song Dynasty was a conclusion that the political group led by Xiao Chuo collectively discussed.

Yelu Longxu had no say in this matter, which made him a little unhappy.

It happened at this time that something happened, and the occurrence of this incident led to more voices of oppression of Dangxiang from the government and the public.

This made Yelu Longxu think that he could use this matter, because if he could use these voices to stop the action of the Song Dynasty, even if he could not regain the regime from his mother, he would at least be able to establish his own kind in the court.

Being able to read and make decisions will also be of some help to the future transfer of power.

So, just as the voices of sanctions on Dangxiang in the court were getting higher and higher, Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu stood up decisively. Without discussing with his mother and Han Delang, he announced that he would stop attacking Song.

Turn the gun head and attack the Lingzhou Dangxiang tribes.

This move caught Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Delang off guard, which made Empress Dowager Xiao a little annoyed. Fortunately, Han Delang was still quite open about this matter.

Because Yelu Longxu was twenty-five years old after all, and in the Central Plains, if the empress dowager still did not return to power after the emperor was sixteen, the ministers in the court might unite and force the empress dowager to return to power.

At this time, Yelu Longxu just wanted to use this matter to shake off his presence in the hearts of the ministers in the court, and did not do anything to prepare to seize power.

So Han Derang persuaded Xiao Chuo to follow Yelu Longxu's intentions in this matter and let him make a decision on his own.

After all, the Song Dynasty is now experiencing national mourning, and it is not auspicious to attack Song at this time. Besides, it is time for the Dangxiang clan to hit him.

So the Liao Kingdom officially stopped the plan to attack Song and transferred all the troops that were originally preparing to attack Song to the southwest bordering the Dangxiang tribes' garrisons.

Yelu Mo, the original general who attacked Song, transformed himself into a general who attacked Dangxiang and led his troops to fight.

But at this time, Li Jiqian didn't know that he had been cheated by a pig-like teammate. At this moment, he was still determined to prepare for how to conquer Lingzhou and other places.

However, just when he finally waited until Li Jiguang returned to Beijing and Lingzhou was empty, the Liao team suddenly launched an attack on him.

This surprised and panicked Li Jiqian. At this time, the Liao cavalry was even more terrifying than the Song Dynasty's powerful crossbow.

Even if Li Jiqian was given the opportunity to prepare for defense in advance, he would never be able to beat the Liao team, let alone at this time he had no idea about the Liao Dynasty's invasion.

As a result, the unprepared Dangxiang troops were slaughtered by the Liao team in a crushing form.

Li Jiqian, who really couldn't figure out why, had to send someone to seek peace immediately, and it was definitely impossible to resist.

The envoy who asked for peace at Li Jiqian only realized after he arrived at the Khitan camp that the cause of the incident was that the Khitan was robbed for tribute and horses, which made Li Jiqian's envoy only complain about the wrongdoing.

At that time, the tribes led by Li Jiqian were all prepared to attack the Song Dynasty, so they did not have time to control these individual tribes that did not listen to them very much.

Therefore, this incident was completely the personal behavior of the leader below and had nothing to do with Li Jiqian.

But this matter is not something you say is okay, it can be okay.

In the end, Li Jiqian not only handed over the man's tribe, but also paid a large amount of compensation from the Liao Kingdom, and had to hold back all the undeclared behavior of the Liao Kingdom.

In this way, the Liao people left with the money, but the Dangxiang tribes suffered heavy losses. They didn't expect to recover in a few years, and finally waited until the opportunity to capture Lingzhou again was gone.

So by accident, the Song Dynasty escaped the first disaster after the change of heaven.
