The water of the Yellow River is majestic, carrying waves, and flows eastward.
The East Route Army of the Liao State led by Wanyan Zongwang withdrew from Bianjing and retreated all the way to the Yellow River ferry. As soon as it stopped, it was attacked by the rebels led by Xu Guanzhong, Yan Qing and others. Wanyan Zongwang was greatly frightened, thinking that it was Song Dynasty soldiers and horses, and wanted to encircle and annihilate them while they were crossing the river. Wanyan Zongwang immediately released Zhang Bangchang back to Bianjing, hoping to convey a message through Zhang Bangchang and not allow the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses to attack him, so that the Eastern Route Army led by him could retreat safely. As a result, no matter what the danger, those who attacked Wanyan Zongwangdong Route Army were not the regular troops of the Song Dynasty, but just a civilian armed force of the Song Dynasty.
Although they were surprised, frightened, and fought for a long time, in the end, there was no danger. Wanyan Zongwang's Eastern Route Army safely passed the Yellow River crossing and embarked on the way back home. On the way, Wanyan Zongwang sent people to Taiyuan to report to Wanyan Nianhan, telling Wanyan Nianhan, commander of the Liao West Route Army, that the East Route Army led by him had withdrawn, leaving Wanyan Nianhan to guard Taiyuan except for some troops. In addition, the remaining troops withdrew back to their country.
The messenger galloped all the way to Taiyuan.
The messenger came to Taiyuan, found Wanyan Nianhan, and reported Wanyan Zongwang's situation to Wanyan Nianhan. Wanyan Nianhan learned that Wanyan Zongwang had withdrawn his troops, so he left General Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wushu) to stay in Taiyuan, and ordered General Wanyan Xiyin to lead the army back to Jin. He and Wanyan Loushi led an army of more than 5,000 horses and rushed to Jia. Mountain, searching for Yelu Yanxi, the Lord of Liao Dynasty.
When the Jin army attacked Yanjing, the situation was tense. Yelu Yanxi ordered Yelu Chun to stay behind and guard Yanjing. He took more than 1,000 riders to Jiashan to take refuge in the name of hunting.
The troops of the Jin and Song Dynasties attacked from north to south and attacked Yanjing. Yanjing stayed behind. General Yelu Dashi of the Liao State and Xiao Puxian, the Queen Mother of the Northern Liao Dynasty, led more than 8,000 troops and horses, highlighted Yanjing, went to Jiashan, and found Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi who was hunting here.
Yelu Yanxi has been guerrilla in Jiashan for several months, and his men are getting fewer and fewer. Suddenly, he saw Yelu Dashi coming with more than 8,000 horses. Yelu Yanxi was overjoyed and wanted to use this force to fight against the Jin army. However, because Yelu Chun established the Northern Liao Dynasty with the support of Yelu Dashi and others, and became the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty, this made Yelu Yanxi very unhappy.
I, Emperor Tianzuo, are still here. If you, Yelu Chun, established Bei Liao and made yourself emperor, you would be treason and usurping the throne. Because Yelu Dashi had soldiers, Yelu Yanxi refused to fight or accept Yelu Dashi. Instead, he ordered his men to tie up Xiao Puxiannu, Queen of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and then withdraw and behead her. Yelu Dashi hurriedly persuaded him and told him the situation at that time. He really did not know the situation of Emperor Tianzuo at that time. In order to facilitate the defense of Yanjing, Yelu Chun was not allowed to be made emperor. Yelu Yanxi refused to listen to Yelu Dashi's persuasion and ordered the death of Xiao Puxian, the Queen Mother of the Northern Liao Dynasty. Seeing that it was not a problem, Yelu Dashi knew that under the leadership of Yelu Yanxi, nothing could be accomplished and he would eventually be defeated or captured by the Liao army. So when Emperor Tianzuo was about to lead his troops to a decisive battle with the Jin army, he led more than 200 Riding, all the way to the west, fled in a hurry.
After Yelu Dashi fled, Yelu Yanxi and the Liao army continued to deal with each other for a period of time. Whether they ate or drank, many of their cavalry troops fled one after another. In the end, Yelu Yanxi's troops had less than 2,000 cavalry.
Yelu Yanxi was unable to fight another decisive battle with the Jin army, so he hunted in Jiashan and trained his troops and horses in order to protect himself.
On this day, a spy suddenly came to report that the Liao army entered Jiashan in large numbers to search for the Liao army. Yelu Yanxi heard the report and asked urgently: "How many troops do the Jurchens have?" The spy reported: "About 5,000 troops and horses." Yelu Yanxi calmed down and wanted to organize troops and horses to fight against the Jin army.
When Lieutenant General Yelu Chunwang saw this, he stood up in a hurry, looked at Yelu Yanxi and bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, what I have seen is that it is better to avoid his sharp edge, highlight Jiashan, move west, pursue General Yelu Dashi, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity. When he matures, he will use his troops to the east to fight Jin, conquer the lost territory, and plan to make a comeback."
Yelu Chunwang's words were sincere and realistic; however, Yelu Yanxi, the Lord of the Liao Dynasty, was an arrogant and self-willed person. He was skilled in equestrian skills, good at riding, and had strong martial arts. Although Yelu Yanxi had lost his country and was chased to Jiashan by the Jin people, he still did not take the Jin people seriously. From Yelu Yanxi's point of view, his decisive battle with the Jin Army was nothing more than a matter of victory or invincibility. There was absolutely no question of what the Jin Army could do to him personally. With just a war horse, a broadsword, and a bow and arrow, entering the Jin people's formation was like entering an uninhabited land. What could the Jin people do to him? !
Yelu Yanxi suddenly stood up, asked someone to lead the war horse, fully armed, took the reins and jumped on the horse's back. Yelu Chunwang rushed over alone, protected the neck of the horse under Yelu Yanxi's crotch, looked up at Yelu Yanxi, and begged: "Your Majesty! I can't do it. Keep the green mountains here, don't worry about running out of firewood. The current plan is, It’s better to take a walk.”
Yelu Yanxi was furious, kicked Yelu Chunwang, and shouted loudly: "If you are afraid of death, you can leave on your own, and you shouldn't be in the way here."
Yelu Chunwang was kicked back a few steps.
Yelu Yanxi shook the reins of his horse and started to ride away.
Yelu Chunwang shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please wait!"
Yelu Yanxi stopped his horse and looked at Yelu Chunwang.
Yelv Chun looked at him and said: "Your Majesty! I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Since the Holy Majesty insists on fighting the Jin people, I request that I rush to kill them first, while the Holy Majesty will watch the battle from behind. I sincerely request your Majesty, if you can fight, then fight, if you can't, then fight. To avoid fighting, don’t act out of anger.”
Hearing Yelv Chunwang's words of "motivated", Yelu Yanxi was angry, but seeing that Yelv Chunwang wanted to be the vanguard and fight first, Yelu Yanxi suppressed his dissatisfaction and said to Yelu Chunwang: "That's fine! You lead the five Baiqi will be the vanguard, and I will follow and fight to the death with the Jinren!"
"Follow the order!" Yelv Chunwang roared, mounted his horse, fired up five hundred soldiers and horses, and took the lead in charging towards the Jin people. Yelu Yanxi led more than a thousand cavalry, following closely behind.
The deputy general tried to persuade him again, but Yelu Yanxi was furious. He opened his eyes angrily and scolded the deputy general who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and was not a good man. The deputy general had no choice but to join Yelu Yanxi in preparing for a battle with the Jin army.
The Jin army, led by Wanyan Nianhan, finally found where Yelu Yanxi was hiding. Wanyan Nianhan was about to lead his troops to attack and capture Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi. Suddenly he was rewarded. Yelu Yanxi, the Lord of Liao, led an army of more than 2,000 horses and was heading towards the Jin army. Wanyan Nianhan ordered the soldiers to mount their horses to attack Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi.
Yelu Yanxi led more than 2,000 horses and galloped towards them, with dust flying behind them.
Wanyan Nianhan also led the Jin army to come towards them.
Yelu Chunwang and Wanyan Nianhan's cavalry troops met head-on. Yelv Chun looked at the reining horse, raised the whip in his hand, and shouted at Wanyan Nianhan: "Jurchen savages! You are ordinary people under the rule of Daliao, how dare you commit rebellion?! Why don't you get off your horse and accept surrender?!"
Wanyan Nianhan laughed loudly: "Khitan! Your entire Liao Kingdom no longer exists, so why are you still here?!"
After roaring, he looked around and said, "Which general is going to capture this guy?"
Wanyan Nianhan stood beside his horse, Wanyan Loushi shouted loudly: "I'm going to capture this guy!"
"Clumsy!" Yelv Chunwang roared, pointed at Wanyan Lou's room and shouted: "Back off! I will only fight with him!" Yelv Chunwang pointed his riding whip at Wanyan Nianhan.
Wanyan Nianhan was furious and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you call me the king of formation?"
Yelv Chunwang was also furious and shouted: "Who are you? I am Yelv Chunwang, Prince of Daliao!"
Wanyan Nianhan laughed loudly.
"Don't talk nonsense!" From the side, Wanyan Loushi rushed over, raised the mountain ax in his hand, and looked at Yelv Chunwang to chop him down.
Yelv Chunwang slashed Wanyan Loushi's waist with his broadsword, and struck Wanyan Loushi's armor.
"Ah!" Wanyan Loushi shouted, becoming more and more angry, and struck with axes one after another.
The two fought for more than twenty-one rounds without a winner or loser.
On the side, Wanyan Nianhan became impatient. With a wave of his hand, all the golden knights swarmed forward. Yelu Yanxi became impatient and rushed forward on horseback. Behind Yelu Yanxi, all the Liao army and horse troops also swarmed up. Both sides started fighting. Wanyan Nianhan hacked several Liao generals to death with his sword. Yelu Yanxi was furious. He rode his horse towards Wanyan Nianhan and stabbed Wanyan Nianhan with his spear.
When Wanyan Nian saw a Liao general charging towards him, he poked him with his spear and started a fight with him. After fighting for three to five rounds, I saw that the Liao general was skilled in marksmanship, so he also started fighting with all his heart.
Yelu Yanxi was skilled in marksmanship, and his spear never left Wanyan Nianhan's heart. He was able to kill Wanyan Nianhan, but he could only parry, but had no power to fight back. Seeing this, General Yi Jin yelled: "Commander! Watch me kill this guy!" He roared, rushed over, and slashed at Yelu Yanxi with his sword. Yelu Yanxi was furious. He raised his hand and shot the general, stabbing it into the chest. With all his strength, he lifted the golden general off his horse.
Wanyan Nianhan was furious, shouted loudly, and struck with a few more axes. Yelu Yanxi dodged Wanyan Nianhan's several axes and stabbed Wanyan Nianhan again with his spear. Behind Yelu Yanxi, he rushed past Yelu Chunwang and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, leave quickly! I will deal with this guy!"
Wanyan Nian rarely heard Yelv Chunwang calling the Liao general "Holy Lord" and knew that the Liao general fighting with him was Yelu Yanxi, the Lord of Liao. He was overjoyed and shouted: "The Lord of Liao is here, the one who captures the Lord of Liao is here." Bounty of 100 taels." The Jin army's cavalry suddenly got excited and rushed towards Yelu Yanxi with loud shouts of joy. Their swords, axes and guns came all at once, but Yelu Yanxi waved his guns to push them away. Yelu Yanxi was furious and killed even more vigorously. Yelu Yanxi's horse gallops and leaps. A golden soldier put an arrow in his bow, drew the bow to full capacity, and shot an arrow with a whoosh. The arrow was hitting the horse's eye. Yelu Yanxi's horse neighed and fell to the ground. Yelu Yanxi also fell to the ground. All the golden soldiers swarmed up and trapped Yelu Yanxi with their guns.
Yelv Chunwang shouted: "Don't hurt my lord!" He galloped over, raised his sword and hacked to death several golden soldiers in succession. Yijin will shoot from behind, stabbing Yelv Chun in the back of his heart. Yelu Chunwang shouted and was poked under the horse. All the golden soldiers rushed forward and hacked Yelv Chunwang to death with random swords. Upon seeing this, the rest of the Liao soldiers fled privately. The Jin soldiers then chased after them, stabbing them with swords and spears, killing countless people. Seeing that they could not escape, the Liao soldiers surrendered.
Several gold soldiers and generals subdued Yelu Yanxi and escorted her to Wanyan Nianhan's horse.
Wanyan Nianhan laughed loudly and said, "Lord Liao, do you know me?"
Yelu Yanxi glared at Wanyan Nianhan.
Wanyan Nianhan immediately shouted loudly: "I am Wanyan Nianhan, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Dynasty and the West Route Army!"
Yelu Yanxi glanced at Wanyan Nianhan, smiled softly and said: "If you are a hero, you dare to compete with me alone."
"Ha! Ha!" Wanyan Nianhan ordered twice, "Take them away!"
Yelu Yanxi, the Lord of the Liao Dynasty, was arrested and captured.
