Section 5 The War with the Gur Dynasty
After the Katwan War, another rival of the Western Liao Dynasty, the Gur Dynasty of Afghanistan, appeared, and they continued to extend their claws into the territory of the Western Liao Dynasty. In the end, it was precisely because of this dynasty that the Western Liao Dynasty completely declined and their rule was shaken.
foundation.
The Gur Dynasty was originally a superpower south of the Amu Darya River. As they developed, they were gradually dissatisfied with the status quo. They sent troops to occupy Balihei. The city of Balihei was a vassal state of the Western Liao Dynasty. After the Gur Dynasty occupied it,
, Balihei stopped paying tribute to the Western Liao Dynasty. All this naturally caused dissatisfaction with the Western Liao Dynasty.
Not long after, the Gur Dynasty had another conflict with Khwarezm.
After the Seljuk Sultan Tughril was killed, his head was presented to King Tekesh of Khwarezm. In order to increase his prestige, Tekesh sent someone to transfer his mobile phone to Aba.
Caliph, the monarch of the Sri Lankan dynasty.
The Caliph did not realize that his dynasty was in decline. After receiving Tughril's head, he gradually forgot about it. He thought that Khwarezm was a cultured and educated person, and he wanted to take the opportunity to claim the territory of Iraq.
These territories were acquired by Tekesh with great difficulty, and naturally they would not be handed over to the Abbasid dynasty easily. Tekesh was furious and sent troops to attack Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid dynasty.
When the Caliph heard about it, he was frightened out of his mind. He immediately sent someone to sue Tekesh for peace, but was ignored. He had no choice but to turn to Gasuddin, the monarch of the Ghur dynasty, for help.
In this way, the conflict between the Gur Dynasty and Khwarezm began.
When Tekesh saw the army of the Gur Dynasty coming, he was worried that he was no match for them, so he sent an envoy to ask for help from the Western Liao Dynasty, and also threatened the Western Liao Dynasty that if they just sit idly by and do nothing, Khwarezm will probably die.
will be annexed by the Gur Dynasty. Not only that, after the Western Liao Dynasty and the Gur Dynasty lose the barrier of Khwarazm, the Gur Dynasty will continue to advance westward, and even threaten the Western Liao Dynasty. This sentence
This really touched the heart of Emperor Yelu Zhilugu of Western Liao Dynasty. He had always been worried about the loss of Balihei. So Yelu Zhilugu sent a general to lead an army to conquer the Gur Dynasty.
At the beginning, the Western Liao army entered the territory of the Gur Dynasty, burning, killing and looting all the way, and soon attacked the Black City of Bali. They threatened the Gur Dynasty that if they did not give up the Black City of Bali, they would attack. The Gur Dynasty also
Instead of being frightened by the Western Liao army, they adopted a resolute resistance strategy. The governor of the Black City of Bari united with the troops from some surrounding castles and jointly defeated the Western Liao army. The Western Liao army was chased all the way to the Amu Darya River and fell into
Countless people drowned in the river.
After receiving the news of the defeat of the army, Yelu Zhilugu felt very sad. He immediately sent people to Huala to find Tekeshi and asked him to compensate for the losses of Xiliao. After this battle, Tekeshi thoroughly understood Xiliao
He didn't take Xi Liao seriously anymore because of the army's combat effectiveness, so he directly rejected Yelu Zhilugu's request.
Yelvzhilugu was furious and immediately sent troops to attack Khwarazmo. He did not expect that the Western Liao army would be defeated by Khwarazmo. But Tekesh did not want to continue to fight against the Khitans, so although the battle
After winning the battle, he continued to pay tribute to the Khitan and shook hands with Yelu Zhilugu to make peace.
It is precisely because of this that when Huala came to war with the Gur Dynasty again, Yelu Zhilugu quickly sent a large army to assist. This time, the Gur Dynasty was defeated.
However, this war did not bring any benefits or benefits to the Western Liao Dynasty. Instead, it cleared the way for the development of Khwarazm. It was from now on that Khwarazm officially began to rise.
Later, Tekeshi passed away and his son Mahamo inherited the throne. After he became the king, Khwarazm's national power increased day by day and gradually surpassed the Western Liao Dynasty. Therefore, Khwarazm decisively stopped its control of the Western Liao Dynasty.
The Western Liao Dynasty paid tribute.
Of course Yelu Zhilugu refused, and he had to take care of the matter. So he sent the prime minister of Xiliao to question Mahamo. At this time, Mahamo was busy dealing with the Kipchak Khanate and had no time to deal with it.
These matters. So he handed over the matter to his mother Tu'erhan Ketun. He received the envoys of Xiliao with noble etiquette, then paid the owed tribute, and sent several envoys from his country.
The envoys followed the prime minister of Xiliao back to Xiliao to apologize to Yelu Zhilugu.
Obviously, this was not Mahamo's original intention. After the war on his side ended, he immediately stopped paying tribute and began to conquer the area in the middle of the river.
As Khwarezm grew stronger, Mahamo's appetite grew bigger and bigger. It not only wanted to get rid of the control of Xiliao, but also wanted to be the emperor of the entire Islamic world.
At this moment, Mahamo waited for an opportunity, and a people's uprising led by Sanjar broke out in Bukhara.
Bukhara is the second largest city in the Western Hara Khanate. Since the Western Hara Khanate surrendered to Xiliao, the city has been basically in a semi-independent state. Its real power is in the hands of a religious family, which people habitually refer to as
"Burhan Dynasty", their leader is called "Sadr Jahan".
This family not only occupied a large area of land, but also often levied high taxes in the name of the Western Liao Dynasty. Year after year, the common people gradually became unbearable, and finally led a rebellion under the leadership of Sanjar and deprived Sadr.
Han family property and drove them out of the city.
Mahamo saw this opportunity and led the army to capture Bukhara in one fell swoop and quelled the local people's uprising.
But Mahamo knew that although Khwarezm's strength had increased and the Western Liao Empire had begun to decline, he was still not very sure of it with his own strength, so he approached Osman, the king of the Western Hara Khanate.
Osman had long wanted to get rid of the rule of the Western Liao Dynasty, so when Mahamo found him, he readily agreed without saying a word.
Yelu Zhilugu realized that he could no longer let Mahamo have his way, so he immediately mobilized 30,000 troops to kill Hezhong area.
Mahamo and Osman were defeated, and Mahamo returned to his original territory with the remaining defeated soldiers. After returning, he did not get depressed because of this, but worked harder and vowed to take revenge.
After another two years, Mahamo felt that the time was ripe. He once again united with the Western Hara Khanate and also won over the Muslims in the Hezhong area. In order to encourage them, he launched the banner of jihad and launched an attack on the Western Liao Dynasty.
The armies of both sides fought fiercely, and in the end the Western Liao army was defeated miserably, and the remaining troops fled. From then on, Mahamo's reputation was greatly shaken. From now on, Khwarazm officially broke away from the rule of the Western Liao Dynasty and
It quickly entered its heyday. On the other hand, with the Western Liao Dynasty, following the rebellion of Khwarezm and the Sihara Khanate, other vassal states also broke away. In the end, the dynasty will move towards complete destruction!
Life insights: Life is like this, visible and invisible wars happen every day. It’s trivial to say it, and it’s ridiculous to say it too much. However, everyone is tested between the vulgarity and triviality of life. Love a “perfect”
It is not difficult to love a "deficient" person, but it is difficult to love a "deficient" person, and it is especially difficult to love such a person for a long time. And only in this way can human feelings appear to be deep and profound, touching the world. In the final analysis, in the
Under the gaze of God, who of us dares to say that he is a "perfect" person? Loving someone means wholeheartedly and unconditionally accepting everything about him (or her), including his or her strength.
The fragility hidden behind the appearance, the hypocrisy behind honesty, the mediocrity under the appearance of talent and the laziness behind hard work, and even having to endure all kinds of bad habits in life that were not discovered before marriage. The one who is honest, kind, beautiful and virtuous is your wife; the one who is hypocritical and artificial
, The one who is stingy and vulgar is also your wife. The one who talks arrogantly and arrogantly outside is your husband. The one who beats his wife, scolds the children, speaks vulgarly, and behaves vulgarly is also your husband at home. In front of others, it is your husband who is oily, handsome, and wears suits and ties.
It is your husband who picks his nose, picks his feet, and never washes his socks. If you deny the ugly side of your lover, you deny everything about him; if you deny everything about him, you deny your own life.
Some people say: If you love someone, you should also fall in love with his or her shortcomings. This statement looks beautiful, but in fact it is difficult to do, and it is not worth advocating. Shortcomings are rarely cute, if they are cute
, it’s not a shortcoming but an advantage. My wife has many advantages, but she also has some shortcomings, such as being impatient and not keeping the house tidy enough. Frankly speaking, I can’t fall in love with her shortcomings, but
I can work hard to accept it, because I know that no one is perfect, and I have many shortcomings. When I was in love, I knew her shortcomings of being quick-tempered, but I think her shortcomings are within my tolerance.
I can accept it without having to endure it. After getting married, I found that she was slightly lacking in housework. What should I do? I would say moderately and make necessary accommodations.
Whether you are a lover or a spouse, catch the big one and let the small one go. As long as it is not a big issue of principle, why bother making both parties so tired?
Life is real and love exists. There is no doubt about this, but the spoon will always hit the edge of the pot. When two people stumble together, it is even less true.
There is no scenery in a familiar place, and there are no great men in the eyes of servants. There is too much beauty and happiness, and people who are immersed in it are often unaware of it. I once saw a cartoon called "Where is the Blessing" in the newspaper.
There is a big word "福" painted on it. A man stands in the "mouth" of the word "福" and looks out, asking: "Where is the blessing?" Where is the blessing? He is really in the blessing and does not know it.
Blessed.
Why do people have to wait until the person they love passes away before people will think of their beauty? Why do people have to wait until their parents are traveling westward before people will think of their love? Calm down and appreciate the things that surround you like air.
