Wanyan Aguda held a clan meeting to study and discuss the matter of launching an army against the Liao Dynasty. Attending the meeting were Wanyan Aguda's uncle Wanyan Kaizhe, Wanyan Kaizhe's son Wanyan Sagai and grandson Wanyan Nianhan. In addition, Wanyan Aguda's uncle Wanyan Wuguchu and brother-in-law Wanyan Wuguchu were also present. Without missing a word, Wanyan Aguda's fourth brother Wanyan Wu Qimai, fifth brother Wanyan Xieye, eleventh brother Wanyan Yanmu, nephew Wanyan Talan and others.
This group of people were all the core figures and close relatives of the Wanyan family at that time, and they were the people on whom Wanyan Aguda fully relied.
Wanyan Aguda looked at everyone and said: "The Liao Kingdom is our Jurchen suzerainty. It is natural for us to obey his management and pay tribute to him on time. However, since Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzuo succeeded to the throne, no matter how He corrected his father's bad habit of traveling for pleasure, and intensified the exploitation of our Jurchens. He set up forays in Huanglong Prefecture and Ningbian Prefecture. It was called trading, but it was actually asking for small profits. The people of Liao called this "beating the Jurchens" ', that is, to suppress and exploit us. Because of Haidongqing's incident, the imperial court forced Ashu to rebel and many tribes to rebel. It was our Wanyan tribe who came forward to suppress and help them in their crusade. We, the Wanyan clan, have paid a lot for this. , but he protected Ashu, what is this?!? Today, Emperor Tianzuo is even more stupid and domineering, shameless, wandering around hunting, greedy for pleasure, and ignoring the affairs of the country. The country is getting worse day by day. You guys Say, what do we do now?”
The others were still deep in thought after hearing this, but Wanyan Nianhan jumped up first and shouted loudly: "What should we do? Second uncle, beat him!"
Wanyan Aguda then said: "Yes! Nianhan is right! Beat him! After everyone returns, we will prepare separately and prepare horses, personnel and weapons. As long as we seize the opportunity, we will immediately raise troops to conquer the Liao Kingdom."
The others heard this and said hello in unison.
In fact, Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Sagai had the final say on matters concerning the Wanyan tribe.
Wanyan Sagai was the son of Wanyan Aguda's uncle Wanyan Kaizhe. At that time, Wanyan Aguda's grandfather, Wanyan Wugu, did not hand over tribal power to his eldest son Wanyan Kaizhe because Wanyan Kaizhe was better at managing internal affairs. Instead, he deliberately cultivated his second son Wanyan Kailibo. Finally, power was handed over to his second son, Wanyan Qilibo.
When Wanyan Qilibo died, he handed over the power to his younger brother Wanyan Puchishu; when Wanyan Puchishu died, he handed over the power to his younger brother Wanyan Yingge; Wanyan Yingge inherited the title of Wanyan tribe leader and After giving birth to the title of Jiedu Envoy of the Nüzhen Tribe, he felt ashamed to have treated his uncle Wanyan Kaizhe, so he wanted to appoint Wanyan Kaizhe as the Prime Minister of the tribe.
However, Wanyan Yingge saw that Wanyan Caizhe was old and was embarrassed to accept a small role as a big one, so he appointed Wanyan Caizhe's son Wanyan Sa to be the Prime Minister of the tribe.
When Wanyan Yingge died, she transferred power to Wanyan Aguda's elder brother Wanyan Wuyashu. When Wanyan Wuyashu died, she transferred power to her second brother Wanyan Aguda. After Wanyan Aguda accepted power, he handed over some tribes to Wanyan Sa to make up for the lack of power in the Wanyan family and appease the frustration of the Wanyan family. Therefore, the birth of the Jurchen tribe Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Sagai were mainly responsible for the matter.
The matter of preparing to raise an army was naturally mainly decided by Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Sagai.
After the clan meeting, Wanyan Sagai actively contacted the Jurchen tribe under his control according to the spirit of the clan meeting, and prepared to launch an uprising against Liao when the time was right; however, before Wanyan Sagai was ready, Wanyan Agu attacked here. Go-getters are up.
It was AD 1114, the tenth day of the ninth lunar month, and Wanyan Aguda swore an oath to revolt at Lailiu (Lalin River).
Wanyan Aguda gathered more than 2,500 Jurchen soldiers and held an anti-Liao swearing-in meeting.
The Jurchens slaughtered cattle and sheep to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, ancestors, and flags. After everything was done, Wanyan Aguda climbed to the high hillock, waved his hands, and said loudly to the Jurchen soldiers, "Dear Jurchen warriors! Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao Tianzuo is ignorant, cruel and cruel, and treats us with contempt. The lives of the Jurchens are like ants, exploiting and squeezing us wantonly. Now, we are going to rebel, and we want to conquer Linhuang Mansion and seize the Khitan people's country and country."
The Jurchen tribe soldiers were so excited that they raised their weapons one after another and shouted: "Yes! We are rebelling! If the Khitan is not destroyed, we will never withdraw our troops!"
The anger in the Jurchen's chest was ignited by Wanyan Agu's beating, like a fire in the forest, burning raging and unstoppable.
This started the war between Liao and Jin.
After the swearing-in meeting, more than 2,500 Jurchen soldiers, led by Wanyan Aguda, advanced westward and crossed the Lalin River overnight. At dawn, they entered the territory of the Liao Kingdom and approached the Liao Kingdom. Ningbianzhou.
Ningbian Prefecture is located to the east of the Huntong River. It is an important military trade town on the border of the Liao Kingdom. It was founded in the fourth year of Qingning, that is, 1058.
After the establishment of Ningbian Prefecture, the Liao court set up a market here to trade with the Jurchens. The Jurchens used northern pearls, ginseng, raw gold, pine nuts, white aconite, etc. as their markets. In the early days, there was unfairness in the transactions between the two parties, and the Liao people called this "beating the Jurchens." Later, the unfairness in the transactions became more and more severe, and most of the transactions were robbery, and the Jurchens began to have a grudge against the Liao people.
Due to the long-standing grievances between the Liao and Jurchens, the Liao State established a border city in Jiangbian Prefecture to strengthen border defense and prosper border trade. It was first for defense and then for observation. Administratively, it was under the jurisdiction of Tokyo Road.
At that time, the city walls of Ningbian Prefecture were strong and high, and there were more than 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed there. The leader was Xiao Wuna, a famous general from the Liao Kingdom.
Xiao Wuna was able to fight and was a tiger general in the Liao Kingdom.
When Emperor Tianzuo was young, Xiao Wuna rescued Emperor Tianzuo, so Emperor Tianzuo was not killed by Yelu Yixin. Later, because Xiao Wuna directly remonstrated with Emperor Tianzuo several times, Emperor Tianzuo was displeased, so he demoted Xiao Wuna to Ningbian Prefecture as governor. Later, Emperor Tianzuo further demoted Xiao Wuna to Huanglong Mansion as a government official. Later, out of the need to guard against the Jurchens, he transferred Xiao Wuna to be the governor of Ningbian Prefecture.
It is said that Ningbian Prefecture was an important town on the border of the Liao Kingdom near the Jurchen tribe. When Ningbian Prefecture City was being built at that time, considering that if something happened in the future, the nearby Liao army would be able to rush to help quickly, so Ningbian Prefecture City was built. In the Liao Kingdom, three acropolises, Xin'an, Yangjia, and Lianhe, were built in the southeast, northwest, and thirty miles as the standard. These three cities were built to defend Ningbian Prefecture, with five hundred soldiers and horses stationed in each. Once Ningbian Prefecture encountered danger, the troops from other acropolis would quickly reinforce to ensure that Jiangning Prefecture was safe and sound.
When Wanyan Aguda decided to attack Ningbian Prefecture, some of his subordinates opposed it. Opponents believed that Ningjiang Prefecture was garrisoned by the famous Khitan general Xiao Wuna, who was brave and resourceful and difficult to deal with. In addition, there are three acropolises of Xin'an, Yangjia, and Lianhe in the southeast and west directions of Yongbyon Prefecture. They rely on each other and support each other, making it more difficult to attack. Now, when the Jurchens are revolting, they must ensure victory in the first battle against the Khitans. Only in this way can they inspire people and boost morale. If they suffer a setback in the first battle, it will affect morale and be detrimental to future wars.
Wanyan Agu was confident and decided that he must first break the hard nut of Ningjiang Prefecture so that the Liao Kingdom would not dare to underestimate the Jurchens. In order to ensure victory in the battle, Wanyan Aguda made careful arrangements and decided to encircle the points and provide reinforcements, and captured Ningjiang Prefecture in one fell swoop.
Therefore, Wanyan Aguda sent three generals, Wanyan Yilie, Wanyan Alihan, and Wanyan Loushi, each with 200 elite soldiers, to ambush Xin'an City, Yangjia City, and United City on the way to Ningbian Prefecture in advance, waiting for When the troops from the above three cities went out to reinforce Yongbyon Prefecture, they were wiped out on the road.
Wanyan Yilie, Wanyan Alihan, and Wanyan Loushi took the order, each with 200 elite soldiers, and set ambush on the road.
Subsequently, Wanyan Aguda led the remaining 1,900 Jurchen soldiers and marched toward Ningbian Prefecture aggressively.
While Wanyan Aguda was leading 1,900 soldiers towards Ningjiang Prefecture, a group of men and horses came towards them, led by a general, riding a tall black horse. This man is tall and majestic, with a strong build, two bright eyes, holding an iron gun, and sitting upright on a horse. The person who came was General Yelu Xie Shi of the Liao Kingdom, who was patrolling the border between the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchens with his troops.
Seeing the Jurchen army led by Wanyan Aguda marching carelessly, Yeluxie Shida immediately stepped forward, blocked the road, raised the iron gun in his hand, pointed at Wanyan Aguda, and shouted sternly: "Hey! You Jurchens , If you don’t stay at home, where are you going? Are you planning to raise troops to rebel?! Turn back quickly! Otherwise, we will kill you without mercy!"
In the Jurchen team, Wanyan Aguda rode his horse forward, holding up the golden-handled mountain ax in his hand. He looked at Yelu Xieshi and replied with a sneer: "Yes, you are right. We and the Jurchens are planning to rebel. ! If you know the signs, get out of the way; if you don’t know the signs, I’m sorry, the ax in my hand doesn’t recognize people, I will go down with a ‘click’, and today next year will be your memorial day.”
When Yelu Xie Shi heard this, he was furious. He rode up on his horse and without saying a word, he stabbed him with his spear.
Wanyan Aguda ducked sideways, holding up the gold-handled mountain ax in his hand, looking to chop off Yelu Xieshi's head.
Yelvsheshi also dodged, and the two horses crossed each other. They fought for a round, but there was no winner or loser.
The two men turned their horses' heads, raised their spears and axes, and fought for a round without winning or losing.
In the Jurchen formation, Wanyan Nianhan rode out to fight Yelu Xieshi.
When Wanyan Aguda saw this, he yelled at Wanyan Nianhan and said, "Nianhan, back off! Don't worry about any of you, watch me kill this Khitan guy with my own hands!"
Seeing this, Yelu Xie Shi on the opposite side screamed angrily and shouted: "Come on, come on, I will fight with you for thirty rounds to see who kills whom?!"
Wanyan Agu fought and shouted at Yelv Xie Shi: "Not to mention thirty rounds, even if we fight for three hundred rounds, I won't be afraid of you!"
Immediately, two more people rode against each other, and Wanyan Aguda was heard shouting: "Here!" The golden-handled mountain ax in his hand flashed with a cold light, and with a "click", it hit Yelv Xieshi on the shoulder, knocking him down. Yelvsheshi was cut into two pieces from the shoulder down and fell off the horse.
Seeing this, the Jurchen soldiers cheered in unison: "Aguda! Aguda!"
When the mixed army led by Yelu Xieshi saw their commander being chopped off by the Jurchens, their faces turned pale with fright, and they shouted: "Oh, my God, it's bad, trouble is coming!" They all turned around and scurried away with their heads in their hands.
Wanyan Aguda waved the golden-handled mountain-chopping ax and shouted loudly: "Jurchen men, the Khitan has bullied us too much. Now is the chance for revenge. Let's hunt him down with all our strength and kill him without leaving any trace behind!"
After shouting, Wanyan Agu took the lead and chased after him.
After Wanyan Agu beat the horse, the Jurchen army followed closely, shouting: "Kill! Kill the Liao people!" While shouting, they rode their horses to catch up.
Among the Liao army, those who ran fast escaped in a hurry; those who ran slowly were chopped down by the Jurchens with their spears and knives, and they all died in vain.
The fast-running Liao army fled into Ningjiang Prefecture City God, and hurriedly reported the Jurchen rebellion to Ningjiang Prefecture governor Xiao Wuna and the defense envoy Yaoshinu.
When Xiao Wuna heard the news, he was shocked and thought, it's over, this day has finally come!
