More than ten thousand.

Li Quan's wife Yang Miaozhen said to Zheng Yande: "For twenty years, Li Huaqiang has been invincible in the world. Now the situation is over and we can no longer support it. You haven't surrendered yet, presumably because I am here. I am going now, you might as well surrender."

"So Yang Miaozhen led a hundred soldiers, broke out of the city and headed north. The rest of Li Quan's troops then sent puppet counselor Feng Bian and others to request surrender, and Zhao Fan allowed them to surrender. Huai'an was in peace. Haizhou, Lianshui and others

He was really virtuous, and Wei Liaoweng and others once complained for Zhao Hong, the king of Ji, and were even regarded as a thorn in Shi Miyuan's side. Shi Miyuan

So three people were attracted to the admonition courtyard. These three people were Liang Chengda, Li Zhixiao and Mo Ze. Especially because of flattering Shi Miyuan, Liang Chengda suddenly became the censor from the county magistrate, and took it as his own duty to exclude the honest people.

At this time, the Queen Mother withdrew and returned to power, and Zhao Yun personally handled the state affairs. The three impeached Zhen and Wei, saying that they secretly protected King Ji and harmed the country. As a result, Zhen and Wei were dismissed from office one after another, and their company member Wai Lang Hong Zi

Kui was reprimanded, and Wei Liaowen was banished to Jingzhou. Liang Chengda wrote to his relatives and friends, saying: "Zhen Dexiu is a real villain, and Wei Liaoweng is a hypocrite." People at that time regarded them as barking, so they were called

At the same time, Mongolian Temujin and Muhuali were running the north and south respectively, Muhuali was running the south, and Temujin was running the north. At this time, the Naiman chief Taiyang Khanzi Ququlu fled to Western Liao. Western Liao occupied

From the land east and west of Congling, Yelu Dashi, a Liao man, hated the destruction of the Liao Kingdom and came to Huijiang. He united the Huihe tribes and established a big country. He was determined to restore it, but before it could be accomplished, he died. Then it was passed down to his grandson.

Zhiluk, the king's presence remains as before. However, most of their eastern subordinates were captured by the Mongols, and their country's power gradually weakened.

Ququlu fled to the Western Liao Dynasty and was recruited as his son-in-law by Zhilu Ke, who gave him great power. Ququlu actually usurped the throne and attacked the Mongolian territory in the east. Temujin sent Zhebie to attack, and Zhebie led his army straight in. Ququlu

Defeated, he fled westward to Bakda Mountain, but was overtaken by Jebe and killed with one blow. All the territory of Western Liao was returned to Mongolia. After Jebe returned home, Mongolian merchants were killed and plundered by them when they went to Khwarezm.

Mo lives in the western border of Western Liaoning and has always believed in Islam.

Temujin sent an envoy to question him, but he was also killed. Temujin then supervised the attack on Khwarezm. King Mohammad of Khwarezm was unable to withstand the Mongolian army and died on an island in the Caspian Sea. Mohammad

Du. Temujin originally wanted to chase south again, but he met a

A strange beast named Jiaoduan.

Yelu Chucai took advantage of the situation and persuaded him to stop the army. He only said: "This beast is a star elf. He likes to kill. He came here to warn his master. Stop the army and calm the people." After Temujin heard this, he allowed the army to stop. There was also Zhebie.

, Subotai's Second Army crossed the Taihe Mountains and attacked the Kipchak Ministry. The princes and kings of Aros joined forces to rescue Kipchak, but were defeated by Generals Zhe and Su, causing heavy casualties. Zhebei fell ill and retreated, and Temujin's commander ordered,

They arrived just in time, so they withdrew their troops and returned.

Yelu Chucai was born in Yanjing in June of the first year of Mingchang of Emperor Zhangzong of the Jin Dynasty. He was born into a Khitan aristocratic family. He was the ninth grandson of Yelu Abaoji, the Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, the eighth grandson of Yelu Bei, the king of Dongdan, and the son of Yelv Lu, the Minister of the Jin Dynasty, Youcheng.

Yelu Chucai was born in his father's sixtieth year. His father once said: "I got this son when I was sixty years old. My family is a thousand-mile horse. One day he will become a great weapon and be used by foreign countries." He

The father named his son "Chu Cai" based on the allusion in "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period" that "Although Chu has talents, Jin can use them". Yelu Chucai was tall and bearded. Genghis Khan called him Wutu Saheli.

.

In June of the second year of Mingchang, Yelu Lu passed away. Yelu Chucai was only two years old at the time. He settled in Yizhou Hongzheng with his mother Yang and received a comprehensive education from his mother. At the age of twelve, he entered Lushan Xianzhou Academy. At the age of thirteen

, study poetry and calligraphy. Since Yelu Chucai’s grandfather, his family has been an official in the Jin Dynasty for generations and has always lived in Yanjing. At that time, Yanjing had a strong foundation of Han culture, which enabled the Yelu family to be influenced by Han culture for generations, forming a habit of reading and knowing etiquette.

Yelu Chucai has been influenced by Confucianism since he was a child. His ideal is to govern the world according to Confucianism. Yelu Chucai adheres to the family tradition. He has studied Chinese books since he was a child and is proficient in Chinese. At a young age, he has become "Bo Chi"

A group of books, including astronomy, geography, laws and calendars, magic and numbers, as well as the explanations of the old doctor's divination, were written as essays, and they were written as if they were written in a long time."

In the sixth year of Taihe, according to the system of the Jin Dynasty, the son of the prime minister could be given the post of provincial governor, but Yelu Chucai did not take office. He wanted to participate in the imperial examination, and Jin Zhangzong asked the people participating in the examination about many things about the case. At that time

Seventeen people participated in the examination, but only Yelu Chucai's answer was excellent, so he was recruited and awarded the post of commission, and later became the Tongzhi of Kaizhou.

In the second year of Zhenyou, the Kingdom of Jin moved south to Bianjing. Yelu Chucai's brothers Yelu Bancai and Yelu Shancai all accompanied him. Yelu Chucai stayed in Zhongdu and was appointed by the prime minister Wanyan Chenghui who stayed in Yanjing as the left and right chief minister Wai Lang. The Mongolian army

After capturing Yanjing, Temujin learned that he was talented and knowledgeable, so he sent someone to ask him about the country's governance plan. He won Temujin's trust and was appointed as an assistant minister. Afterwards, he followed Temujin on his western expedition, and Chang Xiao was the leader of the expedition.

He has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements in governing the country and bringing peace to the people, and is highly regarded.

After Temujin returned to China, the Xia Lord refused to obey because of the conscription of troops to Xixia during the Western Expedition. Temujin then ordered the Xia Lord to send his son as a hostage, but the Xia Lord refused. Temujin was very angry, and Muhuali died of illness.

The south lacked a commander, so they wanted to conquer Xixia in the south and take the opportunity to conquer the Central Plains.

After Li An'an, Xixia changed its masters again. Li An'an passed the throne to his son Li Zunxu, who in turn passed it to his son Li Dewang. Li Dewang was weak and incompetent, and all state affairs were handled by the fierce minister Asha Ganbo. Previously, the Mongolian envoys came to recruit troops.

He rejected all the conquests. This time Temujin decided to send troops, but he suddenly fell ill during the march, so he only sent an envoy to blame the Xia Lord. Asha Ganbo confronted the Meng envoy and contradicted him several times.

The Mongolian envoy went back to report to Temujin. Temujin was furious and immediately led his troops to advance towards Helan Mountain. Asha Ganbo led his troops to attack, but he did not know that the Mongolian soldiers were really powerful. Although Asha Ganbo was bold, he was vulnerable to a single blow, so he had to

He abandoned his troops and fled. Temujin then captured Xiliang, entered Lingzhou, broke through Lintao, occupied Taohe and Xining prefectures, and then attacked Deshun.

Li Dewang, the lord of Xia, died of fear. Li Sui succeeded to the throne, but Li Sui was young and weak. He knew nothing about military affairs. The officials and the people dug holes in the mountains to avoid the enemy. When Deshun was captured and the enemy troops approached the capital of Xia, Li Sui, the lord of Xia, was in despair.

Surrendered. The Mongolian soldiers entered the city together and robbed their wealth, silk, and children. All the Xia Lord's palace family members were implicated, either killed or humiliated. There were also officials and people hiding in caves who were also killed by the Mongolian soldiers.

They were found, their property was taken away, and most of them lost their lives.

Temujin was recuperating in Liupan Mountain, but his illness worsened. Knowing that he would not be able to afford it, he said to his surroundings: "Xixia has been destroyed, and the Jin Kingdom is even more isolated. I originally wanted to take advantage of the victory and destroy the Jin Kingdom, but my destiny has come.

The situation is difficult to extend. If your heir can carry on my legacy and conquer the Central Plains in the south, it is best to pretend that the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty are feuding, and he will be willing to help me. Our army will go straight to Tang and Deng, and then attack Daliang. I am not afraid that the Jin Kingdom will not be defeated by me.

It is ten times more difficult than taking Tongguan!" After saying this, he died. He was sixty-six years old at the time. The Mongols called him Taizu, and he ordered his young son to drag Lei to supervise the country.

The next year, a Mongolian conference was held. All the kings and generals gathered together to elect Taizu's third son, Ogedai, as the Great Khan. After Ogedai became the Khan, he inherited his father's legacy and devoted himself to attacking the Kingdom of Jin. Shaoding

In the winter of the third year, he took his younger brother Tuo Lei and others into Shaanxi, captured more than 60 mountain strongholds one after another, advanced on Fengxiang, and divided his forces to attack Tongguan. Then Fengxiang was captured by the Mongolian army, but Tongguan was not captured. Ogedai Khan remembered

His father's last words were to send Bu Han as an envoy to the Song Dynasty. However, when he arrived in Feizhou, he was killed by the commander Zhang Xuan.

After Wokuotai Khan received this letter, he naturally refused to rest, so he ordered Tuo Lei to lead 30,000 cavalrymen, rushed to Baoji, invaded Dashan Pass, broke through Fengzhou, massacred Yangzhou, marched out to the southeast of Wuxiu, and surrounded Xingxing.

In the Yuan Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians died. He then sent other generals into Feizhou, captured the Da'an Army Road, opened Yubi Mountain, demolished the houses into rafts, crossed the Jialing River, and captured the territory to Shu. Sichuan established Gui as the envoy

Ruyuan fled and was captured by the Mongolian army. Four hundred and forty of the city walls were captured. The Song Dynasty ordered Li to appoint an envoy to Sichuan to inform Chengdu Prefecture, and Zhao Yanna was appointed as deputy envoy to inform Xingyuan Prefecture. The two envoys were about to set off, and the Mongols

The soldiers had finished plundering the territory of Shu and abandoned the territory of Shu.

After Tuo Lei withdrew from Shu, he sent troops to capture Raofeng Pass, crossed the Han River and headed eastward to Bianjing. Wanyan Shouxu hurriedly ordered the generals to divide their troops to garrison Xiang and Deng.

The army entered Dengzhou, and Yang Woyan, Chen Monk, Wuxian and others also left Shunyang. The Mongolian soldiers crossed the Han River and attacked the back of the Jin army. Wanyan Hada saw the strength of the Mongolian army and wanted to avoid it by taking a small road. Unexpectedly, the enemy cavalry

They have arrived, but the Jin army cannot resist them.

Fortunately, General Pucha stopped and fought hard to intercept and kill the enemy cavalry. Wanyanhada stayed for four days and saw no enemy soldiers, so he led his army back to Dengzhou. Unexpectedly, they were halfway through the forest when they suddenly rushed out of Mongolia.

The cavalry robbed his baggage, and the Jin soldiers were in chaos. After the Mongolian cavalry got the baggage, they left immediately, and the Jin army avoided casualties. After Wanyan Hada returned to Dengzhou, he lied about a victory and fabricated battle reports and sent them to Biandu.
