The situation in the Liao Kingdom is critical. There is a Jurchen rebellion in the north and they have occupied several states. They may go south to threaten Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo in the next step.

In the south, the Song Dynasty swept across the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Yelu and Lu Gou and his son were driven out of Gubeikou, leaving only Datong Prefecture in Xijing struggling to support themselves.

Being attacked from both sides, even the mighty Liao Kingdom was at a loss.

What's more, Yelu Hongji had just died and his body had not yet been buried. Yelu Yanxi, who had just ascended the throne, was too young and could not even settle down in the country, let alone deal with such a complicated situation.

However, after the initial panic, Yelu Yanxi still listened to the opinions of his ministers and focused his main attention on the Jurchen rebellion in the north.

Because Yelu Yanxi and the ministers all knew that the strategic goal of the Song Dynasty was only the sixteen states of Yanyun. For the Liao Kingdom, even if they lost these sixteen states, their vitality would be severely damaged at most.

And as long as there is a chance in the future, Yelu Yanxi feels that she will have a chance to regain Yan Yun.

In comparison, the threat from the Jurchens appears to be greater, because the Jurchens raised troops under the banner of anti-Liao and wanted to overthrow the rule of the Liao from the beginning.

Moreover, the Jurchens are not far from the core area of ​​the Liao Kingdom. Now they have occupied several states in Liaodong. Going south, they will threaten Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, and Liaoyang Prefecture is not far from Zhongjing.

It can be said that if Liaoyang Mansion was occupied by Jurchens, the Liao Kingdom would always live in the fear of annihilation, which Yelu Yanxi could not bear no matter what.

So under this situation, Yelu Yanxi could only mobilize troops from all walks of life to support Xiao Wuna in Liaodong.

Originally, when Xiao Wuna was defeated, Yelu Yanxi wanted to take him to the capital to question him.

However, Xiao Wuna's prestige in the court was very high, and many people interceded for him. In addition, changing commanders before the army was a taboo in the army, so Yelu Yanxi could only suppress the anger in her chest and did not move for the time being.

Xiao Wuna.

However, Yelu Yanxi still sent Gao Xianshou to lead the Bohai Navy to join Xiao Wuna. They were nominally supporting, but in fact they were monitoring him. If Xiao Wuna failed again on the battlefield, he would be immediately arrested and punished for both crimes.

Xiao Wuna also knew that he only had one chance left, so when the reinforcements arrived, he immediately organized his army to prepare for war.

The main reason why Xiao Wuna was defeated in the previous battle was that he underestimated the enemy. He did not take the fight against the Jurchens seriously from the beginning, and he did not even pay attention to the war.

Now Xiao Wuna finally faced the Jurchens as a powerful enemy. When the reinforcements arrived, he immediately began to make various arrangements against the Jurchens.

However, Xiao Wuna was not in a hurry to attack, because he knew that the Jurchens were now gaining momentum and their military strength was greatly increased. If Xiu attacked again at this time, he would probably suffer losses again.

Therefore, Xiao Wuna insisted on using defense instead of attack, using time to wear down the Jurchens' energy.

In fact, Xiao Wuna's strategy is very correct. Although the Jurchens have won consecutive battles, they seemed to be at the peak of their power for a while, but in fact, the various Jurchen tribes are constantly fighting with each other. Now they are just being forcibly bonded together by the Wanyan tribe through war.

Together.

If the Wanyan tribe can continue to win, they can use war to break up and reorganize the Jurchens of various tribes, just like taking a piece of pig iron full of impurities and hammering away the impurities bit by bit with the hammer of war, thereby creating

A powerful Jurchen nation was born.

Xiao Wuna knew this very well, so he decided to use defense instead of attack. As time goes by, the Jurchens' vigor will lose, and then without outsiders taking action, there will be chaos within the Jurchens.

From this point, we can see that Xiao Wuna is indeed an important minister of the Liao Kingdom. If he had not underestimated the enemy before, I am afraid that Wanyan Aguda would have had no hope of rising.

Of course, Xiao Wuna's strategy was also controversial. Not only did the Liao soldiers on the front line disagree, but Yelu Yanxi behind him also felt that Xiao Wuna was cowardly, and issued several imperial edicts to reprimand the opponent for this.

But Xiao Wuna was unmoved. At this time, Xiao Wuna had just been demoted from the court, and his influence in the court was still very great. After all, he was Yelu Hongji's trusted minister, even if Yelu Yanxi treated him again.

I am dissatisfied and dare not really do anything to him.

Wanyan Aguda also quickly discovered Xiao Wuna's intention, which quickly made him unable to sit still.

Everything went as Xiao Wuna expected. The Wanyan tribe suffered repeated defeats, and its strength expanded rapidly. From the beginning, it could only manage to gather more than a thousand people, but now it has over 10,000 troops. The Wanyan tribe's strength has expanded several times.

Ten to a hundred times.

But this expansion also comes at a cost, that is, the internal factions are mixed and the interests of all parties are different.

Although Wanyan's tribe was very powerful, Wanyan Aguda also arranged for his brothers to join the army to help him command the troops of various departments.

But this cannot completely eliminate the internal conflicts of interest. If you want to make these internal conflicts disappear, the best way is to fight. Only after experiencing one victory after another can Wanyan Aguda beat his men into a piece of iron.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Wanyan Aguda could no longer sit still and had to raise troops to attack Xiao Wuna's army.

Before raising the army, Wanyan Aguda proclaimed himself emperor, founded the country with the name of Dajin, and the reign name of Shuguo.

This is also Wanyan Aguda's move to unify people's hearts. After all, only by establishing their own country will the tribes that have joined them have a greater sense of belonging.

This was also a major feat of Wanyan Aguda, who abolished the tribal alliance system of the Jurchens through the founding of the country and established officials based on the Han system. Although Wanyan Aguda did not establish a prince and retained the Jurchen selection system for successors, this power

It is completely in the hands of the Wanyan family, and outsiders cannot interfere at all.

With the establishment of the Jin Kingdom, the Jurchens' momentum grew again, and then Wanyan Aguda launched an army to conquer the Liao Dynasty.

Moreover, Wanyan Aguda’s strategic goal was huge, directed at Huanglong Mansion, the military center of the Liao Kingdom.

Xiao Wuna had already been waiting in full formation at Huanglong Mansion. When the Jurchens arrived, the two sides launched a tragic offensive and defensive battle in Huanglong Mansion.

Although Xiao Wuna was well prepared, facing the powerful Jin army, the Liao army was defeated again. The Jin army occupied the ancient city of Daru and threatened Huanglong City.

Fortunately, Xiao Wuna personally took charge of Huanglong Mansion and defeated the Jurchen attacks many times. In the end, Wanyan Aguda could not sustain this kind of war of attrition and had to temporarily withdraw its troops.

Although the Liao army suffered a defeat in this battle and lost the ancient city of Daru, it also weakened the Jin army. It can be said that Xiao Wuna has achieved his strategic goal. As long as he defeats the Jin army a few more times,

At that time, the internal conflicts in the Jin Kingdom will erupt on their own.
