Even so, Wanyan Yingge was not in a hurry to conquer Xiao Haili, but allowed Xiao Haili to make trouble in the Jurchen Adian tribe.
The Liao general Hao Jianu led his troops to gather at the Jurchen border. He was unable to enter without the consent of the court or the Jurchen tribe's Jiedushi Wanyan Yingge. He had to wait patiently for Wanyan Yingge to lead the Jurchen troops to conquer Xiao Haili.
The reason why Wanyan Yingge readily accepted Hao Jianu's request was that he did not want the Liao army to enter the Jurchen realm; since Wanyan Yingge agreed to Hao Jianu's request but was procrastinating in not rushing to go out, he had his own reasons Intend.
Xiao Haili was originally the great uncle of the Liao Kingdom and the chief internal affairs officer. The rebels he led were all regular troops of the Liao Kingdom. They were different from ordinary fugitives. It was not easy to conquer. To subdue Xiao Haili, one must have Advanced military equipment is not acceptable. As far as the current weapons and equipment of Wanyan Yingge and the Jurchens are concerned, they are still very backward. In order to restrict the development and prosperity of the Jurchens, the Liao court did not allow the Jurchens to recruit soldiers and form troops. Possess iron weapons.
Wanyan Yingge understood the thoughts of the Liao Kingdom and knew that they were afraid of war and did not dare to sacrifice, so he asked the Jurchens to conquer Xiao Haili and sacrifice themselves so that they could benefit from it.
Wanyan Yingge thought, in this case, why not take the opportunity to blackmail the Liao court? Therefore, Wanyan Yingge wanted to use the reason of conquering Xiao Haili to request the Liao Kingdom to recruit soldiers and purchase iron weapons.
This is very crucial, and it is also the reason why Wanyan Yingge was willing to assist the Liao court in conquering Xiao Haili.
Xiao Haili's rebellion had a great impact on the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom was also eager to use Wanyan Yingge's power to eliminate Xiao Haili's rebels. Now, although Wanyan Yingge promised to conquer Xiao Haili, he was procrastinating and showed no concrete actions. , it is inevitable to urge. When Hao Jianu sent envoys to urge Wanyan Yingge to send troops, Wanyan Yingge took the opportunity to recruit soldiers with iron weapons.
Wanyan Yingge said to the envoy sent by the Hao family slaves: "The Xiao Haili rebels are all soldiers of the imperial court and possess advanced equipment. The Jurchens do not recruit soldiers and do not possess iron weapons. How can they defeat the Xiao Haili rebels? If the Jurchens cannot defeat the Xiao Haili rebels, the Xiao Haili rebels will use the Jurchens' territory as their base to constantly harass the imperial court, and finally gain a foothold, which may be a blessing to the imperial court."
The envoys sent by Xiao Haili heard what Wanyan Yingge said and could not make up their minds and did not dare to agree to Wanyan Yingge, so they reported the situation to Hao Jianu. The slaves of the Hao family did not dare to make the decision, so they sent someone to report to the Liao court. When the Liao court heard the report and thought about it, they readily agreed to Wanyan Yingge's request and allowed the Wanyan tribe to recruit a thousand soldiers, and allowed them to purchase iron weapons and equip the recruited one thousand soldiers. To conquer the Xiao Haili rebels.
In the past, the battles between the Jurchen tribes were all with weapons. Although the two sides fought on horseback, their equestrian skills were quite good, and the scene was grand and beautiful, the weapons used were nothing more than sticks and bows and arrows ground from stones. That’s all.
The fight between the Jurchens is based on strength. If I knock you off your horse, you will lose, so you must surrender to me, and you must be convinced orally.
The defeated ones contributed their property and women and became slaves to the victors.
This method was not easy to use against the regular army of the Liao State. Using sticks, stone arrows and regular troops to fight was obviously not on the same level, and it was impossible to defeat the regular army of the Liao State. In addition, the Liao Dynasty had always been on guard against the Jurchens becoming stronger since the time when Empress Dowager Xiao was in power, so there were many restrictions, especially not allowing the Jurchens to have regular army soldiers and iron weapons. It is for this reason that the Jurchens have never had a regular army, nor have they ever had a regular team of thousands of people.
In the future, if we don't have sophisticated troops and advanced weapons, how can we compete with the Liao Kingdom? Therefore, Wanyan Yingge used the opportunity of attacking Xiao Haili to develop and strengthen his army.
In fact, the Jurchen army has combat effectiveness. The problem is that it is too small.
In the past, when Wanyan Yingge was attacking Brother Liu, he only had 70 soldiers. He took 40 of them himself and gave them to Wanyan Agu to fight 30. With only 70 soldiers, he conquered Brother Liu’s city.
Now, because of Xiao Haili, Wanyan Yingge, with the support of the Liao Kingdom, can recruit a thousand soldiers and is allowed to purchase iron weapons and equipment to arm these thousand soldiers. How important this is! How could Wanyan Yingge miss such a huge opportunity? !
After receiving the approval of the Liao court, Wanyan Yingge legitimately and with great fanfare recruited soldiers and purchased iron weapons. She successfully recruited a thousand soldiers and equipped them with iron weapons, forming an elite Jurchen armed force. The prototype provided an opportunity for the Jurchen military development.
The thousand soldiers summoned by the Wanyan tribe lined up in formation to be inspected by Wanyan Yingge and Wanyan Aguda.
Wanyan Aguda was overjoyed when he saw the Jurchen tribe's powerful lineup of a thousand Jurchen warriors, and said impassionedly: "With such a large number and majestic warriors, what kind of undertaking can't our Wanyan tribe accomplish?!"
A thousand soldiers were recruited, waving their spears and swords, and shouted in unison: "The Jurchens are so powerful that they are sweeping across the world!"
Wanyan Yingge and Wanyan Aguda were also extremely excited, and immediately set off as a team to conquer the Xiao Haili rebels.
The left-behind officer in Bohai, Liao State, heard that Wanyan Yingge and Wanyan Aguda were going to take the Jurchens to conquer Xiao Haili, so he sent someone to call Wanyan Aguda to the left-behind department.
The left-behind officer saw that Wanyan Aguda was tall, majestic and mighty, and liked him very much, so he said to Wanyan Aguda: "I heard that you are going to conquer the Xiao Haili rebels, so I invited you to see him."
Wanyan Aguda expressed his gratitude to Bohai for staying behind.
Bohai stayed behind and said: "Since ancient times, battlefields have been fought with swords and guns, and life and death are unpredictable. Now, if you risk your own arrows to suppress the rebels, accidents will inevitably happen. I have a pair of strong armor here, which is invulnerable to arrows." If you don’t go in, I’ll give it to you now for self-defense.”
Wanyan Aguda heard this and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Liubei, but I don't need it."
Bohai Liubei knew that Wanyan Aguda was a strong man, so he tried every means to persuade him and insisted on giving Wanyan Aguda a set of armor. However, no matter how Bohai Liubei persuaded Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Aguda refused to accept it, so he left Bohai Liubei and returned to his daughter's home. The real camp.
Why did the people left behind in Bohai, Liao Dynasty, ask Wanyan Agu to fight over? Wanyan Yingge was very worried, for fear of some accident; just when he was about to send someone to pick him up, Wanyan Agu came back in a vigorous manner.
Wanyan Yingge felt happy when she saw Wanyan Aguda had returned. She went to greet Wanyan Aguda and asked, "Aguda, why did the Khitan guard call you? What did he ask you to do?"
Yan Agu asked and told Wanyan Yingge the truth.
Wanyan Yingge was shocked after hearing this and said hurriedly: "Why do you refuse such a good thing?"
Wanyan Aguda asked, his eyes were as big as cow eggs, he looked at Wanyan Yingge and said: "What do I want his armor for?! I want his armor, wear it on me to fight, it's a burden Not to mention, if the battle is won, it will be because he gave me the armor! I will never do such a thing."
When Wanyan Yingge heard this, she felt very strange.
After the Wanyan tribe's troops were ready to march, Wanyan Yingge led this thousand-man army to the Adian tribe to defeat the Xiao Haili rebels.
In order to cooperate with Wanyan Yingge's crusade against Xiao Haili, Liao general Hao Jianu also led 10,000 troops into the Jurchen Atian tribe, preparing to flank Xiao Haili's rebels.
When Wanyan Yingge saw the Liao army brought by the Hao family slaves, she stopped them and said, "You guys stand back and watch me, the Jurchen, attack the Xiao Haili rebels alone."
Hao Jianu wished that Xiao Haili and Wanyan Yingge would kill each other, hurt both of them, and save himself from bleeding and death, so that he could take advantage of the opportunity when they were exhausted.
The Hao family slaves immediately stopped their troops, formed a formation, and watched from a distance how Wanyan Yingge attacked Xiao Haili.
Wanyan Yingge led a thousand men and horses to the front of Adian City with great momentum.
Xiao Haili also took his five thousand troops outside the city and formed a formation to fight Wanyan Yingge.
After Xiao Haili arranged his formation, Wanyan Yingge turned to the generals around him and asked: "Who dares to take action first and kill Xiao Haili?"
Wanyan Aguda replied loudly: "Watch me kill Xiao Haili!"
After saying that, Wanyan Agu took the lead and rushed towards Xiao Haili's formation with a golden axe.
A general also rushed out of Xiao Haili's military formation, wielding a spear. He bared his teeth and claws and struck Wanyan Agu in the chest with the spear. Wanyan Aguda dodged and when he crossed paths with the Liao general, he raised his ax and cut off the Liao general's head with the axe.
General Liao fell off his horse and rolled his head to the side.
When Wanyan Yingge saw this, she whipped her whip and shouted: "Jurchens! Kill them!"
A thousand Jurchen soldiers, galloping on their horses, whipping their whips, brandishing their swords and spears, followed Wanyan Yingge's roar to kill them.
Xiao Haili's military formation was instantly dispersed, and the soldiers were in chaos and fled in all directions.
In the chaos, Wanyan Aguda saw Xiao Haili beating his horse and trying to escape. He quickly pulled out an arrow from the quiver, put it on the string, drew the bow full, and shot the arrow out with a "whoosh".
The arrow was like a bolt of lightning, flying straight towards Xiao Haili. With a pop, it hit Xiao Haili's head. Xiao Haili turned over and fell under the horse.
Several Jurchen soldiers rushed over, raised their swords, and cut off Xiao Haili's head.
Poor uncle of the great country of Liao State, he was usually domineering and arrogant, but here he died in a dream of love.
