Why did the Kingdom of Jin send envoys at this time? What are you here for?
It turned out that after winning the Battle of Daru, Wanyan Aguda led the Jin army to pursue the Liao army all the way to Aluogang. Seeing that the defeated Liao army had disappeared, he turned eastward and attacked Huanglongfu, a border town of Daliao.
While leading the army on the way to Huanglong Mansion, Wanyan Aguda kept thinking about the problem. He was thinking about how to match wits and courage with Emperor Tianzha of Liao Kingdom.
Although Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzha of the Liao Kingdom, was mediocre, he was highly skilled in martial arts. When it comes to the courage of an ordinary man, he was definitely a good player.
Wanyan Aguda recalled the scene when he attended the Yelu Yanxi Fish Head Banquet that year. At that time, because he refused to perform a dance for Yelu Yanxi, Yelu Yanxi became furious, took out his waist knife, rushed off the seat, and was about to kill him on the spot. Own.
Flirty, recklessness, rage, and impatience are the fatal shortcomings of Emperor Tianzha. This shortcoming of Tianzha Emperor Yelu Yanxi was discovered by Wanyan Aguda. Now, Wanyan Aguda, who was leading his army on the way to Huanglong Mansion in Daliao, was thinking about how to take advantage of this shortcoming of Tianzha Emperor Yelu Yanxi.
The method Wanyan Aguda came up with was to anger Emperor Tianzha Yelu Yanxi so that he could not think about the problem seriously and rationally, and provoked him to make some wrong decisions in anger.
Wanyan Aguda thought that Yelu Yanxi, who was in a rage, would definitely take some reckless actions and would not carefully consider strategic and tactical issues. This would create opportunities for Dajin to defeat the Liao army.
Therefore, Wanyan Aguda prepared to send envoys to Zhongjing of Liao Kingdom to see Yelu Yanxi, and tried to find ways to anger Yelu Yanxi and make Yelu Yanxi make wrong decisions in anger.
The way Wanyan Aguda came up with was to send someone to ask for Ashu in order to anger Yelu Yanxi.
Wanyan Aguda recruited a group of counselors and civil servants who accompanied the army.
Since the Battle of Daru, the counselors and civil servants on the battlefield have not been reused. Wanyan Aguda decided everything directly with some of his generals, which made the counselors and civil servants feel anxious. They also want to contribute to Daikin and show their talents and value.
Now, the counselors and civil servants summoned by Wanyan Aguda were extremely excited, waiting for Wanyan Aguda to arrange important tasks for them.
Looking at the counselors and civil servants in front of him, Wanyan Aguda said: "Jurchen sages, now is the time to use your efforts."
Upon seeing this, the counselors and civil servants said one after another: "The soldiers are fighting desperately on the battlefield. Although we do not have the strength to brave the battlefield, we are only willing to obey the call of the great emperor and complete the tasks assigned by the great emperor at any time."
Wanyan Aguda said: "I am going to send envoys to the Khitan court to meet Emperor Tianzha Yelu Yanxi. Which of you is willing to go?"
All the counselors and civil servants said in unison: "I! I am willing to go to the Khitan court as an envoy to meet Emperor Tianzha Yelu Yanxi."
When Wanyan Aguda saw this, he was overjoyed. He waved his hands to calm down all the counselors and civil servants, and then said: "Fellow sages, the purpose of sending envoys to the Khitan court this time is not to negotiate peace, but to ask for help from the Jurchen traitor Ah. Shu comes back. You also know that Tianzha Emperor Yelu Yanxi is an impatient and cruel person, and he will kill people if he doesn't get what he wants. This time, you will be envoys to the Khitan court to ask Yelu Yanxi for the Jurchen traitor Ashu, which will definitely anger you. Yelu Yanxi may be killed by the furious Yelu Yanxi at any time. In this case, which of you is still willing to be an envoy to the Khitan court?"
As soon as Wanyan Aguda finished speaking, a man knelt down in front of him and said loudly: "Great Emperor, I am willing to go!"
Wanyan Agu lowered his head to look and saw that it was the civil servant Hulihan.
When Wanyan Aguda saw this, he laughed and said, "Hulihan, others can do it, but you can't. I know that you have a weak temperament, so it may be difficult for you to complete this mission."
When Hulihan heard this, he became anxious and said to Wanyan Aguda: "Great Emperor, I am on a mission to the Khitan court this time. If I cannot bring back the Jurchen traitor Ashu, I will leave my life in the Khitan court. I will definitely fulfill my mission. I sincerely request the Emperor’s permission.”
With Hulihan's attitude, Wanyan Aguda just agreed, and then explained this to Hulihan for a while.
Hulihan received the order and immediately bid farewell to Wanyan Aguda and the ministers of Dajin, and went to the Khitan court to see Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzha.
Hulihan traveled under the stars and at night, and within a day, he arrived in Daliao and went to Beijing to meet Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzha.
When Hulihan rushed to Daliao to go to the Khitan court in Beijing, Tianzhao Emperor Yelu Yanxi was discussing matters with the ministers. Hulihan ordered the palace official to announce that the envoy of Dajin was here!
The bailiff entered the palace and reported the situation.
Hearing that the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin were coming, Yelu Yanxi was filled with birdiness and shouted loudly: "Come in! I want to hear what he has to say?"
After hearing the order, the palace official went out of the palace and brought the Jin envoy Hulihan into the palace hall.
Hulihan entered the main hall and bowed slightly towards Emperor Tianzhao Yelu Yanxi as a salute to Emperor Tianzuo.
Yelu Zhangnu, the general of the Liao Kingdom who was standing next to him, saw that Hulihan was short and thin, and he showed quite a lot of dignity and carelessness. He didn't take Emperor Tianzha seriously at all, and he didn't pay any attention to Emperor Tianzha. Yelu Yanxi knelt down and bowed slightly. Yelv Zhangnu felt that this was the Jurchen envoy's disrespect to Daliao and Emperor Tianzha, and he became furious and rebuked Hulihan: "This Jurchen barbarian does not kneel down when he sees my lord, but stands carelessly on the ground. Earth, what's the point? Kneel down!"
Hu Li was so surprised that he turned his head and glared at Yelv Zhangnu, and retorted loudly: "How outrageous! I am here to represent the Kingdom of Jin, and I am meeting the Emperor of Liao Kingdom. Who are you? What does it have to do with you?" What qualifications do you have to talk to me?! I am a minister of the Jin Kingdom and I only worship the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Why should I kneel down in front of the emperor of another country?!"
Yeluzhangnu was furious when he heard this, rushed out of the train, took out his knife, grabbed Hulihan, and was about to stab Hulihan in the chest.
Seeing this, Yelu Yanxi shouted anxiously: "Zhang Nu, stop it!"
Seeing that Hulihan was so unreasonable, claiming to be a minister of the Jin Kingdom, and only worshiping the emperor of the Jin Kingdom and not the emperor of other countries, Yelu Yanxi was furious, but he finally wanted to hear what Hulihan was doing? Therefore, when Yelu Zhangnu was furious and wanted to kill Hulihan, Yelu Yanxi stopped Yelu Zhangnu.
Yelu Zhangnu was shouted down by Yelu Yanxi, and angrily threw Hulihan away and stood aside.
Hulihan shook off his sleeves and snorted angrily.
Yelu Yanxi suppressed her anger and asked Hulihan: "Since you are a Jurchen envoy, you should also know that the imperial court has always been very kind to the Wanyan family. The Jurchen Jiedu envoy has been in his family for seven or eight years." Why didn't he want to repay his kindness, but instead he rebelled and established the Jin Kingdom?! The imperial court thought that the Jurchen world was deserted and there were few people there. He had not officially expressed his position on the founding of the country. As a vassal of the imperial court, he instead marched into the army. What’s the point of forcing each other?!”
The more Yelu Yanxi talked, the angrier he became, so he added, "That Wanyan Aguda looks like a lunatic. Could it be that he wants to hit an egg with a stone?!"
Hulihan's Jurchen language means lamb, which is why Wanyan Aguda said that Hulihan couldn't do it before he requested to be sent as an envoy to the Khitan court.
However, when Houlihan heard Yelu Yanxi calling Wanyan Aguda by his famous name and saying that Wanyan Aguda was like a madman, he was furious. He didn't look like a lamb at all, but like an aggressive lion.
After Hulihan finished speaking to Yelu Yanxi, he called Yelu Yanxi by his name and said eloquently: "Yelü Yanxi, as the king of a country, indulges in drinking, music, and lust. All living beings have been tyrannized. How can such a cowardly king not rebel?! Moreover, the Ashu rebellion was ordered by your Liao court, the Jurchens, to conquer it. I, the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, conquered it for the court, broke the city of Ashu, and opened up the way to you. Yinglu, but you protected Ashu and did not return the Jurchen traitor Ashu. What's the point? My mission to Liao this time was commissioned by the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom to pursue the Jurchen traitor Ashu. of."
Hulihan called Yelu Yanxi by name in front of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty of Liao Dynasty, denounced Yelu Yanxi's various bad behaviors, and wanted Ashu to go back. As for Ashu, he was protected by Yelu Hongji, the father of Emperor Tianzha. As for where Ashu is now? Emperor Tianzha didn't know where he could go to return a message to the Jurchens? This situation made Yelu Yanxi so angry that she jumped down from the throne, like a gangster, shouting: "You bastard! I just won't be with you, what can you do?!"
Yelu Yanxi rushed over, snatched the knife from Yelv Zhangnu's hand who was standing next to Hulihan, grabbed Hulihan's lapel, lifted Hulihan up, then looked at Hulihan's belly, and puffed He stabbed him with a knife and threw Houlihan to the ground.
The clothes in front of Houlihan's belly were stained red with blood. Houlihan struggled a few times, kicked his legs a few times, and died.
Poor Hulihan, whose name means Jurchen Lamb, was ordered by Wanyan Aguda to go on a mission to the Liao Kingdom, but died in the main hall of the Liao Kingdom.
After killing Hulihan, Emperor Tian Zuo was still angry and roared angrily: "Drag him out! Drag this dead body out! Feed the dog!"
The palace official led several soldiers into the palace and carried Houlihan's body out of the palace.
When all the civil and military ministers saw this, they all looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
Yelu Yanxi returned to the dragon chair, sat on it, still full of anger, and shouted to all the civil and military ministers: "Wanyan Aguda is extremely arrogant. He only cares about Ashu and not the Liao Dynasty. I will personally conquer the conquest with the emperor." Yan Aguda."
All the ministers bent down and replied: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Immediately, Emperor Tianzuo issued an edict: "Order General Xiao Hudu to be the vanguard commander, General Yelv Zhangnu to be the governor, and raise 200,000 cavalry and 500,000 infantry, known to the outside world as one million, to attack Huanglong Mansion! The general Yeluhong in front of the palace is the commander of the imperial camp. I, the imperial commander, personally marched to conquer Wanyan Aguda.
Xiao Hudu, Yelu Zhangnu, and Yelu Hong hurriedly came out of the queue, bowed to Yelu Yanxi, and replied in unison: "I obey the order!"
Immediately, Xiao Hudu, Yelu Zhangnu, and Yeluhong walked out of the hall and prepared their troops.
In the main hall, Emperor Tianzha continued to discuss with the ministers other matters in the court after his personal expedition.
Yelu Yanxi decided to leave Wei King Yelu Chun in charge of staying in Beijing while he was on his own expedition.
Yelu Chun is the grandson of Yelu Zongzhen, the nephew of Yelu Hongji, the Daozong of Liao Dynasty, and the cousin of Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzha.
Yelu Yanxi told Yelu Chun: "During my personal expedition, the emperor's uncle will stay in Beijing. The emperor's uncle must fulfill his duties and must not be careless. I also know that the emperor's uncle likes hunting. As for the hunting, the emperor's uncle will let it go for the time being. After I return to the capital, I will let the emperor go hunting."
Yelu Yanxi was worried that during the period when his imperial commander was personally on the expedition, Yelu Chun would neglect going to the capital and go hunting in the wild, so he gave this order.
Seeing Yelu Yanxi's instructions, Yelu Chun quickly expressed his position: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely perform my duties to ensure the safety of going to Beijing."
