At that time, the guard general of Huanglong Mansion in the Liao Kingdom was Xiao Buchu. The places under Xiao Buchu's jurisdiction include, in addition to Huanglong Mansion, Yizhou and other places.

When Xiao Bu first received his report, his daughter Zhen Wan Yan A Gu launched an army to rebel, and successively conquered Ningbian Prefecture, Daru Ancient City, Alogang and other places, and was about to turn around and march eastward to attack Huanglong Mansion.

When Xiao Bu first received the news, he was very frightened. Xiao Buchu thought that the Jurchen army was unstoppable, covering several cities. The current plan was to reduce the number of troops and focus on defending Huanglong Mansion, waiting for the imperial court to send troops for reinforcements.

Therefore, Xiao Buchu hurriedly abandoned the city defenses of Yizhou and other places, and withdrew all troops and horses from Yizhou and other places into Huanglong Mansion to shrink the front line, concentrate his forces, and resist the Jin soldiers' attack.

Wanyan Aguda led the Jurchen soldiers and horses to advance eastward rapidly. Several states near Huanglong Mansion were no longer fortified. The Jin soldiers advanced all the way and came directly to Huanglong Mansion City, surrounding Huanglong Mansion City.

Xiao Buchu was besieged by the Jin army and had no other choice but to defend Huanglong Fucheng.

At this time, Wanyan Aguda received a report that Emperor Daotian Zuo Yelu Yanxi had commanded a million troops and was marching in person to fight.

In response to this situation, Wanyan Aguda ordered all the troops to attack the city quickly, and they must capture Huanglong City before the arrival of the one million Liao army commanded by Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi.

Xiao Buchu, who was in Huanglong Mansion City, also heard the news that Emperor Tian Zuo had led a military expedition of one million soldiers and was rushing to support Huanglong Mansion. He was encouraged and ordered his soldiers to defend the city tenaciously, so Huanglong Mansion was not lost.

Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi was also afraid that Huanglong Mansion would be lost, so he led his troops and horses to look at Huanglong Mansion and galloped all the way.

Yeluzhangnu served as the capital supervisor and supervised the army at the rear.

The war during this period gave Yelv Zhangnu new ideas.

Yelv Zhangnu felt that with Emperor Tianzha's ability, he might not be able to defeat the Jurchens, and the Jurchens might take away the land of Daliao in the future.

In this case, it is better to find a way out early.

Therefore, when Yelu Zhangnu saw that Yelu Yanxi was in a hurry, he secretly conspired with Wei King Yelv Chun's wife and brother Xiao Dili, Xiao Dili's nephew Xiao Yanliu and other generals to rebel, hoping to depose Emperor Tianzuo and establish Emperor Tianzuo's uncle Yelu Chun became emperor, so he could use this opportunity to ascend to the throne.

Several people hit it off immediately and no longer detained the supervisory army. Instead, they returned with two thousand soldiers and horses, intending to attack the Liao Kingdom and go to Beijing.

On the way back to the army, Yelv Zhangnu sent Xiao Dili and Xiao Yanliu to return to Shangjing first, and told Yelv Chun about the abolition in advance, so that Yelu Chun could know the matter in advance, take the opportunity to launch an attack in the city, attack inside and outside, and seize Shangjing. .

Xiao Dili and Xiao Yanliu received the order of Yelu Zhangnu, galloped their horses back to Shangjing, and entered the Wei Palace. Yelu Zhangnu had already led his troops to depose Tianzuo Emperor Yelv Yanxi and establish Yelu Chun as emperor. The situation was reported to Yelu Chun.

Hearing what his uncle and nephew said, Yelu Chun trembled in fear, feeling frightened and hesitant. This situation came so suddenly and unexpectedly that Yelu Chun was not prepared at all. Moreover, Yelu Chun did not have the courage to rebel against Yelu Yanxi. Therefore, this matter remains at a stalemate and has never been determined.

At this time, the two thousand troops and horses led by Yelv Zhangnu had returned to Shangjing and surrounded the Wei Palace in Yelv Chun.

Yelu Zhangnu ordered the soldiers to surround the Prince of Wei's Mansion and not let anyone in or out. Then he strode into the Prince of Wei's Mansion, met with Yelu Chun, and immediately forced Yelv Chun to agree to proclaim himself emperor.

Facing Yelv Zhangnu's persecution, Yelv Chun was so frightened that he trembled all over. Because he didn't know what Yelv Yanxi's situation was now, Yelv Chun still refused to agree to Yelv Zhangnu's forced evacuation based on Yelv Zhangnu's one-sided words.

At this time, Yelu Yanxi led the front army directly to Huanglong Mansion to conquer Wanyan Aguda. However, he suddenly received a report saying that the governor Yelu Zhangnu had rebelled and had led more than 2,000 troops back to Shangjing. I wanted to make Yelu Chun the emperor.

Emperor Tianzuo, who was advancing with the orthodox troops, was shocked when he heard the news. Yelu Yanxi thought to herself, this is not bad! When Huanglong Mansion is defeated, my throne will be gone! Therefore, Yelu Yanxi hurriedly left 300,000 troops and horses to garrison on the spot to frighten the Jurchens. He quickly led 400,000 troops and horses back west to suppress the rebellion of Yelu Zhangnu.

Yelu Yanxi, who was on his way back to the army, was afraid that Yelu Chun would not be able to withstand the temptation of Yelu Zhangnu, so he would accept Yelu Zhangnu's plan and really proclaim himself emperor. Then things would be in trouble. Therefore, Yelu Yanxi hurriedly sent the generals in front of the palace and the imperial camp to command Yeluhong and more than a thousand personal soldiers. They quickly returned to Shangjing and informed Yelu Chun that he should not cater to the rebellion of Yelu Zhangnu and establish himself as emperor. To be cautious, Yelu Yanxi also wrote a letter personally and ordered Yeluhong to deliver it to Yeluchun personally.

Yeluhong received the order and led more than a thousand soldiers. He and Yelu Yanxi first rushed to Linhuang Mansion in Beijing.

Yelv Zhangnu, who was in the palace of Wei Wang in Linhuang Prefecture in Beijing, wanted to force Yelv Chun to proclaim himself emperor. When he heard the news that Emperor Tian Zuo was returning to the west with 400,000 troops to put down the rebellion, he was greatly frightened. He knew that he was outmatched and did not care. After forcing Yelu Chun to proclaim himself emperor, he hurriedly rushed out of the Wei Palace, led more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, and robbed Shangjing before hurriedly escaping from Shangjing and heading to Zuzhou.

On the way to Zuzhou, Yelu Zhangnu circulated messages along the way, creating public opinion, exposing the crimes of Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, and calling on the Liao army and Liao people to rebel against Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi.

Not long after Yelu Zhangnu escaped from Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, Yeluhong rushed to Linhuang Mansion in Zhongjing with more than a thousand soldiers.

Yeluhong led more than a thousand soldiers to the Palace of Wei, surrounded the palace, and then led a hundred or ten soldiers into the Palace of Wei to meet King Yeluchun of Wei.

Seeing Yeluhong coming in with a hundred soldiers, Yeluchun burst into tears and told Yeluhong about Yeluzhangnu's unreasonableness. He vigorously confessed that he had no intention of establishing another emperor.

In order to make Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Hong believe in him, Yelu Chun personally took Yelu Hong to arrest his brother-in-law Xiao Dili and his nephew Xiao Yanliu who were still hiding in the palace of the King of Wei, and personally cut off their heads. Send someone to see Yelu Yanxi on her way to Beijing to show her sincerity.

Let’s not talk about Yelu Yanxi’s 400,000 soldiers and horses rushing to Zhongjing to put down the rebellion. We will only talk about the 300,000 soldiers and horses that Yelu Yanxi left on the road to frighten the Jurchens.

That day Emperor Zuo led 400,000 troops back west to quell the rebellious Yelv Zhangnu, leaving behind general Xiao Hudu and 300,000 troops as the vanguard of the expedition.

Yelu Zhangnu rebelled, and Yelu Yanxi returned to Beijing to put down the rebellion. This sudden situation made Xiao Hudu at a loss what to do and became panicked.

Xiao Hudu's generals and soldiers also panicked when they heard that General Yelu Zhangnu had rebelled, and Emperor Tianzha Emperor Yelu Yanxi had returned to Beijing to quell the rebellion.

The morale of the Liao army was shaken and they no longer had much combat effectiveness.

This news was learned by Wanyan Aguda who also besieged Huanglong Mansion.

Wanyan Aguda was so happy that he immediately stopped the siege of Huanglong Mansion and hurriedly led all his troops to chase Yelu Yanxi who had returned to Beijing to put down the rebellion.

The Jurchen soldiers and horses led by Wanyan Aguda encountered 300,000 soldiers and horses stationed by the Liao Kingdom on their way to pursue Yelu Yanxi.

Wanyan Agu ordered the attack.

Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyan Cibushi, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Tarai, Wanyan Moulianghu and other Jurchen generals took the lead and rushed into the Liao army's formation, attacking with guns and knives, as if they were entering an uninhabited land.

The 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao army were in a state of panic. They were attacked by Wanyan Nianhan and other Jurchen soldiers. They had no fighting spirit and dispersed in a rush, fleeing for their lives.

Xiao Hudu, the vanguard commander of the Liao army, responded to the challenge in panic. Seeing that all the soldiers had fled, he had no choice but to hit his horse and run away.

Wanyan Aguda took advantage of the situation to pursue him, charging to the left and killing on the right. The Liao soldiers were defeated and fled, leaving dead bodies scattered over a hundred miles.

In this battle, Wanyan Aguda won another great victory and captured Emperor Tianzuo's royal chariot, along with countless other trophies.

Wanyan Aguda led the Jurchen soldiers, loaded with trophies, swaggering all the way and returning with a great victory.

When Wanyan Aguda returned to Huanglong Mansion and planned to attack the city again, he found that Huanglong Mansion was empty.

It turned out that at first, Xiao Buchu learned that Emperor Tianzuo was leading a million-strong army on his own expedition. His morale was greatly boosted and he desperately defended the city to cooperate with Emperor Tianzuo's expedition.

Xiao Buchu, who was standing on the wall of Huanglong Fucheng, saw Wanyan Aguda who was besieging the city. He suddenly led all the besieging gold soldiers to withdraw from the siege. He thought it was Emperor Tianzha who was marching in person. Wanyan Aguda was frightened, so he withdrew the siege. .

Later, Xiao Buchu sent people to inquire, and the news they got was that the general and the imperial commander personally recruited the governor Yelu Zhangnu to rebel and led his troops to attack the capital. Emperor Tianzuo heard the news and returned to the west to quell the rebellion. Wanyan Aguda took advantage of the victory to pursue him. Emperor Tianzha went and won a great victory.

After hearing the news, Xiao Bu was extremely frightened. When he saw that there were no Jurchen soldiers outside Huanglong Mansion City, he thought to himself that even Emperor Tianzha's million-strong army had been defeated by Wanyan Agu. I am a small Yizhou. How capable is the governor and official of the Huanglong Prefecture, who can withstand the Jurchen army commanded by Wanyan Aguda? ! Fortunately, Wanyan Agu retreated from the siege and went to pursue Emperor Tianzha. Taking advantage of the fact that the Jurchen soldiers and horses have not yet been returned, they should not withdraw quickly. How long will it take? Could it be that waiting for Wanyan Agu to return to the army was in vain? Can't you risk your own life?

Therefore, Xiao Buchu made a decisive decision, opened the city gate, led the Huanglong Fucheng garrison, and fled quickly.

As a result, Wanyan Aguda was on his way back to the army and gained another Huanglong city in vain without spending a single soldier. Wanyan Agu was naturally overjoyed.

Wanyan Aguda then ordered Wanyan Loushi to be the Marquis of Wanhu and stay in Huanglong Fucheng. He himself led the army and returned in triumph.

It was a pity that the 700,000-strong Liao army was under the personal command of Tianzhao Emperor Yelu Yanxi. However, due to the rebellion of Yelu Zhangnu, their success fell short.

What’s even more ridiculous is what happens next, which can be said to be an eternal spectacle.

At that time, Emperor Tianzuo heard that Yelvzhangnu had rebelled, and he hurriedly led his army to march westward to quell the rebellion. When Emperor Tianzuo returned to Shangjing, he learned that Yelvzhangnu had already fled Shangjing with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and was fleeing to the place where Khitan flourished. Zuzhou.

Ordinarily, at this time, Emperor Tianzuo should urgently pursue the Yelvzhangnu, completely eliminate the Yelvzhangnu rebels, then integrate his forces, and then conquer the Jurchen soldiers and horses of Wanyan Aguda to ensure the stability of the Liao Jiangshan Sheji.

However, at this time, Emperor Tianzuo seemed as if nothing had happened. He had forgotten that the Jurchens had rebelled against the Liao Dynasty and were besieging the Huanglong Mansion. He had forgotten that the Jurchens' 300,000 troops and horses he had personally conquered were still halfway there. He also forgot that the rebels led by Yelu Zhangnu were on the run; instead, he took a group of his followers and went out hunting at ease.

Look, Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. As for Liao, have you ever seen such a foolish and unprincipled emperor? ! Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his expression. A person as big-hearted as Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzuo is probably unprecedented and will never come after him.
