When Genghis Khan led his own Mongolian cavalry regiment to attack the State of Jin in the south, he shouted an inspiring slogan, which could reach 65,438+10,000 soldiers in the State of Jin and make the State of Jin quickly fall apart and go to the road of extinction.
At this point, Genghis Khan is better than many literati who are familiar with the art of war, and even not inferior to Zhuge Liang's wisdom.
Although the imperial court at that time was corrupt, it was a powerful and civilized country. After hundreds of years of operation in the Central Plains, the Confucian culture in the Central Plains has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many great scholars have emerged, such as Yelu Chucai and others who were later reused by Genghis Khan. They are all wise men of the moment. Unfortunately, Emperor Xu Jin was incompetent and failed to make effective use of these talents.
However, when Genghis Khan attacked Xu Jin, he did not consider the power of Central Plains culture. He has his own way.
Attacking Jin Guo is a real contest between Mongolian cavalry and civilization, not only a contest in force, but also a psychological shock to the enemy.
Genghis Khan's excuse for attacking Xu Jinguo was to avenge his ancestors, but after all, it was only hatred between Mongols and Xu Jinguo. How could he get the support and help of others, especially the support of the Khitans who were still relatively strong at that time? Genghis Khan had good intentions.
The State of Jin was established by eliminating the Liao State established by the Khitans. Therefore, from the point of view of hatred, the emperor of Jin is also the enemy of Qidan. Although times have changed, Xu Jinguo has been established for a hundred years, and the Khitans have long forgotten their enemies, but in Genghis Khan's view, the Khitans were forced to forget their enemies. If someone attacks Xu Jinguo first, the Khitans will definitely fight back.
To this end, Genghis Khan also shouted a slogan when he went to war: revenge for Liao country, revenge for Qidan!
If Xu Jinguo is still so powerful that no one dares to provoke him, this slogan will have no meaning and power, and it can only be a joke. But when the Khitans in Xu Jinguo saw that Xu Jinguo was defeated by Genghis Khan's Mongolian cavalry, they had great strength and were very excited.
Since it was obtained by eliminating Liao, why can't it be eliminated? Some ambitious Khitans began to stir. In addition to taking refuge in Genghis Khan's tent, they also want to find opportunities to mobilize troops to rebel.
Wan Yan Yongji, the emperor of Jin, lacked wisdom and did not carefully analyze Genghis Khan's real intention of shouting this slogan. But to suppress the Khitans according to Genghis Khan's thinking.
At that time, the Khitans almost lived in humiliation. In order to prevent the Khitans from rebelling, Wan Yan Yongji ordered every Khitan to live between two jurchen families and accept supervision at any time. If there is any resistance, he will be shot.
Many nuzhen covet the property of the Khitans, and take this opportunity to oppress the Khitans and take each other's property as their own.
Xu Jinguo's cruel policy even aroused the anger of the Khitans, who raised flags in succession to resist, and its power exceeded that of Xu Jinguo's 65,438+10,000 soldiers.
When Genghis Khan saw that the time was ripe, he vigorously supported his puppet regime in the northern part of Liaodong, made Lu Ye, an aristocratic Khitan, the king of Liao, and made him win many Khitans under the banner of anti-Liao.
Yelv Liu Ge was the commander of Xu Jinguo and had a great influence. Under his call, many Khitans on the sidelines also rose up against Xu Jinguo's tyranny, so that Xu Jinguo soon fell apart.
Genghis Khan shouted this slogan, which fully reflected his ability to control the enemy's psychology. This not only frightened Emperor Xu Jin, but also inspired the rebellion of the Qidan people. It is indeed full of great wisdom. If you want to defeat a powerful opponent, the best way is to let them have internal discord, and Genghis Khan easily did it!
