Yelu Dashi, the name of the Liao Dynasty, was called Western Liao. Dashi's name was Chongde, and he was the eighth-generation grandson of Taizu... Liao used Wulin as Linya, so they called Dashi Linya... In the sixth year of Jianyan, Song and Liao attacked Xixia together and defeated it. Dashi went back to his country and bid farewell to Shizu at the gap of Helan Mountain. Shizu held hands and composed a song to bid farewell. When he was about to arrive in the Western Regions, he found the poems left by Shizu, which showed his true feelings.
At first, Emperor Taizu, remembering Dashi's hard work, specially crowned him in front of the three armies and proclaimed him emperor. When he returned to China, he gave the Han title of Emperor Tianyou again and changed the reign title to Yanqing. He said to all officials: "I and you have traveled 30,000 miles, trekking through the desert, working hard in the wind and night. Thanks to the blessing of our ancestors and your efforts, we have ascended the throne. Your ancestors and fathers should be treated with care and share the honor." Since the grandfather of 49 people including Wulila, the titles were different.
In the third year of Yanqing, he advanced to the Eastern Karakhanid Khanate, and conquered it the following year. He cut off its northern part and attached its southern part, seizing 3,000 miles of land, which led directly to Hezhong. When he returned to the east, he traveled for 20 days on horseback and found a good place, so he built the capital, Hu Si Oerduo, and changed Yanqing to the first year of Kangguo.
Since the Hexi Pass was connected, the Central Plains exported people, weapons, and wealth to the Western Regions. The army was growing stronger and stronger. When they heard that the Song army had defeated the Jin army in Taiyuan, they sighed and said: The revival of the Song Dynasty depends on this battle. How can the Liao Dynasty cut off its prosperity from the Western Regions? So they decided to march west. This was the third year of Kangguo.
When they arrived at Xunsigan, the Western Regions countries raised an army of 100,000, called Huershan, and their kings came in person to resist the battle. Huershan was one of the countries of the Arabs, and their kings were called Sultan, which was similar to the meaning of Chanyu. The two armies were about two miles apart, and they told the soldiers: Huershan was the descendant of the Black Arabs, and our Liao was the successor of the Tang Dynasty. In the past, Tang General Gao Xianzhi was defeated by the Arabs here. The current situation is not God's will for us to take revenge? He also said: Now we are thousands of miles away from home. If we advance, we will succeed. If we run away, we will all die. Let's work hard to share the fame! He shouted loudly, and everyone rushed to respond. He sent the Six Courts, the Great King Xiao Wulishi, the Deputy Envoy of the Recruiting and Suppressing Yelu Songshan and others to lead 10,000 soldiers to attack the right; the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council Xiao Ci Abu, the Recruiting and Suppressing Yelu Shuxue and others to lead 10,000 soldiers to attack the left; he led the crowd to attack the middle. The three armies advanced together, and Huershan was defeated. The zombies were dozens of miles away. The Sultan led his personal guards and fled in panic. They chased them for three days and three nights. All the soldiers were exhausted. They fought again and defeated them. The bandits were defeated and scattered. The Sultan barely escaped and fled to the city of Balik. After a while, the main army arrived. He sent the troops to dig trenches and set up long sieges to defend the city.
After three months of siege, the city was strong and easy to defend, and no one was able to enter. When the Western Karakhanid Khan came to support with more than 50,000 troops, the enemy was attacked from both sides, and the generals were very afraid. The emperor wanted to follow the example of Emperor Taizong of Tang, so he ordered Xiao Wuli to besiege the city and personally led 3,500 infantry and cavalry to resist. The two armies were in a stalemate. With a small number of troops, they were afraid that they would not be defeated by the enemy. They would sneak out of the camp at night for four or five days, and return the next morning with a big display of flags and drums, thinking that the Liao army had arrived again. The enemy did not know the real situation, and gradually became afraid, and wanted to fight quickly. The emperor held on and did not come out. Within a few days, the enemy's morale was weakened, and the emperor personally led the light cavalry to chase and lure them, and the crowd followed. The enemy army sent out a large force to pursue, but before they could form a line, the emperor went up first to counterattack, and the soldiers did not dare to lag behind, and all of them fought ten times as hard as one. The enemy was defeated, and more than 3,000 heads were beheaded. The rest abandoned their troops and fled, and the Western Karakhanid Khan was captured alive in the battle. All the generals submitted and brought the Khan to the city of Barik. The Sultan was afraid and led more than 2,000 of his officials to the military gate to surrender, and the whole Hezhong area was pacified.
The emperor went on a western expedition from the third year of Kangguo. In the seventh year, he conquered Hezhong, captured two kings, and expanded the territory by thousands of miles. His prestige spread far beyond the West Sea and the Pamir Mountains, and everyone knew him. In the eighth year, Khwarezm surrendered, and the King of Ghaznavid came to the court for an audience. The next year, he again sent a large army to conquer the Arabs. He sent the general Xiao Wulishi to the middle road, the left deputy general Yelu Songshan to the east road, and the general Yelu Shuxue to the west road, each with 50,000 cavalry out of the border. The battles on the middle and east roads were not favorable, but the west road penetrated 2,000 miles deep into the enemy territory, approached the capital, and then returned. The Arabs sent envoys to ask for peace, but because the soldiers were exhausted after a long battle and the Arabs still had a stronghold, they agreed.
In the tenth year of Kangguo, the war was stopped and the country rested. The states with similar customs were selected as one state, and a total of 18 states were obtained. Officials were sent to serve in these states, and the Chinese command began in Hezhong. They ordered to improve their education without changing their customs, and to standardize their politics, and the people were pleased and obedient. In the eleventh year, a large-scale education policy was launched, clarifying the national system, establishing official documents, promoting Confucius and Mencius, establishing laws, and promoting imperial examinations. In the same year, envoys were sent to Bylin, Dashi and Tianzhu to show Liao's greatness. In the next five years, the war was stopped and the people were pacified. The world was governed by virtue, and the etiquette and clothing gradually became similar to those of China.
In the 16th year of Kangguo, when the Indian states heard of Liao's wealth, they repeatedly killed Liao envoys and seized their property. The emperor was angry and ordered the Southern Court King Xiao Wulishi to attack them. Wulishi led 5,000 soldiers and 20,000 reinforcements from Ghazni and marched straight down the road. Indians were terrified and some fled or surrendered. In three months, the war was pacified. The Shentu Protectorate was established in their territory. In the 17th year, all the tribes requested to be honored with the title of "Kuhan". Therefore, the emperor issued an imperial seal to appoint their rulers and called them "Kuhan".
In the 18th year of Kangguo, the general of the conquest of the captives, Yelu Shuxue, led more than 70,000 troops to attack the Arabs. He received a report that the Arab Sultan had gone hunting and was stationed hundreds of miles northeast of the capital. He ordered his soldiers to cook in the ground to avoid seeing smoke and fire. Shuxue was the vanguard and rushed to attack the camp. There was also a strong wind blowing sand and it was dark during the day. The army was marching and the enemy was unaware. He suddenly arrived in front of them and was shocked. He fought and defeated them. He killed the nobles and surrendered their people. The Sultan and the prince wanted to escape with dozens of horses, but they lost their way in the strong wind and were captured by the army. The Arabs were then destroyed. At first, Liao and Fulin agreed to attack the Arabs together and divide their land into east and west. When Liao won, it heard that Fulin had just been defeated by the Arabs and retreated to the city to defend, so it could not respond. The emperor was silent when he heard it.
In the 19th year, the King of Fulin came to pay homage. The emperor feasted him in the palace, and when they were drunk, he said to the king: "I understand your intention, but the land of Daqin was won by the Liao people through hard work. How can we give it to foreigners? I have a plan. Fulin was once called Daqin, and the people are all tall and straight, similar to China. Therefore, I want to make you the King of Qin of Liao. We are brothers, and we should share the land and govern together. Isn't it wonderful to kill two birds with one stone?" The king changed color and wanted to leave. There was a commotion in the hall, and he couldn't take off his clothes, so the king agreed. The next day, three animals were offered to the sky. The emperor wore a crown and tassels, and personally crowned the King of Qin in front of the altar, and everyone shouted "Long live the king". In the 20th year, the Karluk rebelled and was executed. The emperor was ill, so he ordered the crown prince to supervise the country.
He died in the 21st year of the Kangguo reign at the age of 60, and was posthumously named Dezong.
