However, every dinner in China always has its specific purpose and significance, from which we think of the 17th dinner, the most famous in the history of China. Every dinner is actually a contest between people.
There is a saying that the dining table can change history, and chopsticks can also alter history books. What are the mysteries hidden in these dinners? What kind of influence do these dinners have on future generations? Let's have a look.
…………………………………………
0 1, Hongmen Banquet: A sinister dinner.
In 206 BC, Liu Bangxian entered the customs to destroy the Qin Dynasty, stationed in Xianyang, sent troops to guard Hangu Pass, and countered Xiang Yu's westward advance. After the arrival of 400,000 troops led by Xiang Yu, he broke through Hangu Pass and was stationed in Hong Men (now northeast of Lintong, Shaanxi), ready to attack Liu Bang.
Knowing the disparity in strength, Liu Bang adopted Sean's suggestion, made friends with Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo, hoping to mediate to solve the urgent need, and personally went to Hong Men to meet Xiang Yu.
At the banquet, Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu's counselor, invited Xiang Zhuang to dance the sword with the intention of assassinating Liu Bang. Xiang Bo has been bribed, so he quickly drew his sword and danced to protect Liu Bang with himself. And Liu Bang's Ministry, Fan Kuai, broke in with a sword and shield, enabling Liu Bang to escape.
02. The feast of literature: Cao Cao's feast, Tongquetai.
It has been two years since Battle of Red Cliffs, and the situation of "three points in the world" is beginning to appear. While taking care of half the country under control, Cao Cao cultivated land and trained troops, preparing to complete the great cause of reunifying the whole country. But at this time, there was no major war in the world, and Cao Cao seemed to feel that he could catch his breath a little, so he built a bronze sparrow terrace. On the evening of the inauguration ceremony, Cao Cao held a grand banquet in Tongquetai. In addition to the performances of singing and dancing instruments, the military commanders also held wonderful archery competitions.
Under the guidance of Cao Zhi, the son of Cao Cao and the best genius in the world, civil servants began to compose a poem to show their talents and praise Cao Cao. Cao Cao also generously expressed his determination to continue to help the world, and said that he did not borrow wine to usurp the heart of Han. His greatest wish is that after his death, the tombstone is engraved with "General Han Zheng Xi", and he will be satisfied. His ministers asked Cao Cao to write a poem to commemorate this grand occasion, Cao Cao wrote slowly.
I feel that I am old but I have no ambition, and I am intoxicated with the grand occasion of wine in front of me. "How can I relieve my worries with generosity and unforgettable worries? Only Du Kang ... "Battle of Red Cliffs also made him feel that not all the best talents in the world are under his own account. Not long ago, he asked Jiang Gan, a celebrity, to lobby Zhou Yu, who had defeated him in Chibi. Zhou Yu told Jiang Gan that his old classmates were courteous and courteous, but he didn't defect. "Qing Qing Zi Heng, who is in my heart? I have been wondering about your reason ... Duke Zhou vomited and fed, and the world returned to his heart." This famous short song was born in this way.
At this banquet, Cao Cao also suddenly remembered that his teacher Cai Yong's daughter belonged to the Xiongnu tribe and redeemed her with a large sum of money. That is, after Wen Xi returned to Han, he compiled a large number of diaspora works, and also created Eighteen Beats of Hu Eggplant, which became a famous song handed down from ancient times.
03. The most deceptive dinner.
Cao Cao led his troops eastward. After receiving Cao Cao's letter of challenge, Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu Dong, destroyed books and beheaded envoys to express his determination to resist. This led to the battle between Cao Cao and Wu Dong in Sanjiangkou. Zhou Yu won the battle, but he was still able to be cautious, conduct investigation and study, and keep an eye on Cao Ying all night. Zhou Yu found that the commanders of Cao Cao's water army were Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who had surrendered to Cao Cao under Liu Biao. These two men are "wonderful flowers in the water army", which is the main obstacle for Wu Dong to break Cao Cao. Zhou Yu had the plan of "designing to get rid of these two people first".
When Cao Cao was worried about how to attack Wu Dong, Jiang Gan, Cao Ying's chief of staff, came out to recommend himself, saying that he was willing to go to Wu Dong to persuade Zhou Yu to defect, and promised to complete the task. Zhou Yu heard that Jiang Gan, an old classmate, was visiting, and decided to use it to practice double agents. Zhou Yuxian set the rule of "friendship and friendship" at the British banquet at the conference, not mentioning "military affairs", and sealed Jiang Gan's mouth. Furthermore, Zhou Yu showed Jiang Gan the strength of "armed to the teeth, well-fed and well-fed", showing off his position as "the master of friends" and gaining trust and reuse. Cut off Jiang Gan's idea of health.
In the evening, Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan "slept on their feet", pretending to be drunk and sleeping soundly, induced Jiang Gan to steal a forged letter from Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to surrender to Soochow, and arranged for Jiang Gan to watch the plot of "someone came to Jiangbei", which convinced Jiang Gan. Jiang Gan hasn't finished the mission of saying that Zhou Yu has fallen, but thanks to this important "intelligence", he sneaked back to Cao Cao overnight to report the results. When Cao Cao finished reading it, he was furious and ordered Cai to be cut. Zhou Yu's double agent finally succeeded.
04. "The Scholars Wang Xizhi Lanting Preface"
The Jin Dynasty ended the Three Kingdoms era when heroes came forth in large numbers, but there was no new atmosphere that a new dynasty should have. The ruling class is full of absurd luxury and rich life. What's even more frightening is that generations of Sima family are masters and military geniuses who have power over the world. However, Hui Di Sima Zhong, the second generation leader of the Jin Dynasty, turned out to be a born mentally retarded, which eventually led to the rebellion of the Eight Kings. The Huns and other ethnic minorities who surrendered for hundreds of years took the opportunity to rebel and set up their own regimes to invade the mainland. It is known in history that five people were reckless, and the Han regime retreated to the south of the Yangtze River for the first time.
The traditional gentry class, literati and literati, have also moved south. The Jin Dynasty finally survived with the help of the natural barrier of the Yangtze River and several great gentry, the most famous of which were Wang Jia and Xie Jia. The Wangs, in particular, once had a folk song "Wang Ma Gong Tian Xia", and its influence was obvious. However, the Wangs also produced a great person who has influenced China's calligraphy to this day-Wang Xizhi.
In the ninth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 353), this period was relatively calm and there was almost no war. This spring, Wang Xizhi invited 4 1 relatives and friends, including calligraphers, poets and celebrities at that time. Lanting, where there are clear streams and surging water, held a wild event. They lined up on both sides of the stream, put feathers (a kind of portable wine glasses) on the surface of the water, and went down the river. Everyone took turns writing poems with drinks. Anyone who can't write poetry will be fined. Twenty-six people wrote poems that day, and a total of 35 poems were written.
With a little drunk, Wang Xizhi improvised and wrote a preface with specially selected moustache and cocoon paper, namely "Preface to Lanting". It is said that he rewrote it nearly a hundred times in a few days, but it is not as good as his improvisation that day. Preface to Lanting, with 28 lines and 324 words, is perfect in composition, structure and brushwork, and it is also his masterpiece at the age of 33.
05. Du Kang is drunk. Liu Ling: The worst meal.
According to legend, Liu Ling, one of the seven sages of bamboo forest in Jin Dynasty, has a great capacity for drinking, which is unparalleled in the world. Dissatisfied with politics, he often travels and drinks. Once he came to Luoyang and walked to the door of Dukang Wine Building. I saw the couplet on the door saying, "The tiger is drunk in the mountains and the dragon sleeps under the sea." Horizontal batch: "One drunk for three years".
Liu Ling saw this pair and thought, The owner of this restaurant is so ignorant that he doesn't even know my name, and he dares to brag so loudly. Since you have such a big breath in Dukang, I will let you see what is magnanimity in Liu Ling today, and go into the restaurant if you think about it. Liu Ling had a drink, which was delicious, and invited Du Kang to come again. Du Kang advised him not to drink any more, but Liu Ling wouldn't listen. After drinking the second cup, I felt a little tipsy, thinking that this wine is really good, and I want another cup. Du Kang said, if you drink any more, you'll get drunk. Liu Ling refused, and after three glasses of wine, he couldn't help it. He murmured, "The first glass of wine is as sweet as honey, the second is sweeter than honey, and the third glass of wine makes me dizzy and blue." Liu Ling muttered to herself and sang songs all the way. When she got home, she was drunk as mud. He called his wife to the bed and said, "I'm going to die. Bury me in the wine pool, cover me with distiller's grains, make me a pot and put it beside me. " With that, he died. Liu Ling was an alcoholic all his life, so his wife held a funeral for him according to law.
Three years later, Du Kang visited Liu Ling. Liu Ling's wife asked him what he wanted. Du Kang said that Liu Ling drank wine three years ago and never gave any money. When Liu's wife heard this, the fire came out of nowhere: "I drank someone else's wine three years ago and died when I got home." So I drank your wine! If you want money, I'll ask you for someone! " Du Kang said, "That's not death, but drunkenness. Go, go, show me where he is buried. " They came to the wine pool and opened the distiller's grains. Liu Ling looks very well. Du Kang patted him on the shoulder and shouted, "Liu Ling, wake up!" I saw Liu Ling yawning and mumbling: "Good wine, good wine!"
Since then, Du Kang's drunken Liu Ling has become a historical story (Editor's Note: The story of "Du Kang's drunken Liu Ling" is a myth and legend). In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms began to sing in his immortal "Short Songs", in which "How to solve your worries, only Du Kang" became a famous sentence in China culture.
06. Feast of the Brave: Zhuan Xu stabbed Liao Wang.
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Liao Wang of Wu usurped the throne of his nephew Gongzi Guang. Son decided to take back the throne. He followed Wu Zixu's advice and adopted a military commander, Zhuyou, to learn from the West Lake carp.
On this day, my son invited me to dinner at home and said that he had a chef who was good at cooking carp that Wang liked to eat. Despite Liao Wang's doubts, he decided to eat because of the temptation of delicious food. He took strict security measures. All the way from the palace to Gongzi's home is full of guards, and Gongzi's home is also heavily guarded. In the banquet hall, there are all guards. Only Liao Wang and Miyako's uncles, uncles and ministers attended the banquet, and every waiter or chef who provided food near the banquet had to undergo a strict search. After a while, Miyako left on the pretext of going to the toilet.
At this moment, Zhuan Xu came with a big carp, and several guards searched him at the door and let him in. Zhuan Zhu knelt in front of Liao Wang and presented carp. Liao Wang drooled and was about to move chopsticks. Zhuan Xu suddenly held out his hand, pulled out a sharp dagger from the carp's stomach and stabbed Liao Wang violently. The sword penetrated Liao Wang's close-fitting armor and pierced his chest. The guards around him were stunned by this sudden behavior. He soon took control of the situation, and soon he finally sat on the throne, known as He Lv, the king of Wu.
07, Quan released the soldiers with a glass of wine: four or two kilograms for a meal.
This story tells that Zhao Kuangyin, the first emperor of the Song Dynasty, seized power in one fell swoop after the mutiny in Chen Qiao, but he was worried that his subordinates would follow suit and wanted to remove some of his generals from military power.
So in 19961year, a banquet was arranged, and the imperial generals Shi Shouxin and Wang Shenqi were called to drink, so that they could accumulate more gold and silk for their children and grandchildren, and they would be crowed for the rest of their lives to relieve their military power. In 969, Wang Yanchao, our special envoy of the times, was called a banquet, and their military power was lifted.
Song Taizu's practice has been used by his successors to this day, mainly to prevent mutiny, but in this way, the soldiers don't know what to do, they don't know what to do, those who can mobilize the army can't directly lead the troops, and those who can directly lead the troops can't mobilize the troops. Although it successfully prevented the coup of the army, it weakened the combat capability of the army. As a result, the Song Dynasty was defeated again and again in the wars with Liao, Jin and Xixia.
08. Drunk Golden Branch: The most courageous meal.
Besides, after Princess Shengping married the Guo family, she never changed her old style and always lost her temper with her husband and in-laws. Generally speaking, in the traditional society of China, a daughter-in-law should give gifts when she meets her in-laws, but a princess is the daughter of an emperor and a monarch. Although her in-laws were elders and ministers, Guo Ziyi and his wife had to kneel to the princess in turn.
Guo Wen was very dissatisfied with this, and his in-laws even knelt down to the princess. Why didn't she pass it on for two generations? On weekdays, in front of the bossy princess, he dared not expect anything. On this day, Guo was upset and had a few more drinks at the family dinner. Immediately asked Princess Shengping to observe women's morality and kneel down to Guo Ziyi and his wife. As a result, Princess Shengping sternly refused and was reprimanded in person.
At this time, this wine is a courageous medicine, and this wine is forgetful water. Guo Wen, who was drunk, dragged the princess back to the bedroom with an old fist and beat the princess with a peach blossom. This is terrible. The princess immediately returned to her mother's palace compound and asked her father to cry on behalf of the emperor. Guo Ziyi quickly tied up his son and sent him to the palace to confess his crimes. Finally, under the mediation of the emperor and Guo Ziyi, the two couples reconciled.
09. The most boring meal.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty met Yang Yuhuan and gave a banquet in Baihua Pavilion. The next day, Yang Yuhuan arrived at Baihua Pavilion ahead of schedule and ordered imperial secretary to get ready. However, the emperor didn't come for a long time. Yang Yuhuan sent someone to invite him, but the people who came back told her that the emperor had gone to the palace in Jiang Fei. Yang Yuhuan was very upset after hearing the news. Originally, Yang Yuhuan's character was jealous. At that time, he was wronged and unwilling to come to mind, so it was difficult to send him away. He drank wine alone and fell into sorrow.
The drunkenness of the imperial concubine originated from Drunk Yang Fei, a Peking Opera play during the Qianlong period, which was carefully carved by Mei Lanfang, a Peking Opera master, and is one of the classics of Mei School. This drama tells the story of Yang Yuhuan's drunken attitude of enjoying love and his tenderness for the emperor.
10, Qianlong Thousand Banquet: the most luxurious dinner.
Thousands of banquets began in Kangxi and flourished in Qianlong. This is the grand royal banquet with the largest number of people dining in the Qing Palace. In the fifty years of Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong held a grand banquet in Gan Qing Palace to show his royal kindness.
The banquet was very grand and invited about 3000 old people. Among them are relatives of the royal family, old ministers of past dynasties, and old people who have written to Beijing.
This banquet not only has a free Manchu-Han banquet carefully prepared by the chef, but also all royal tributes and drinks are free. This grand banquet was called "an unprecedented ceremony" by the literati at that time.
1 1, Mianchi Club: the most substantial dinner.
In 279 BC, in order to concentrate on attacking Chu, Xiang of Qin took the initiative to make friends with Zhao and met in Mianchi (now Mianchi County, Henan Province) to attend the meeting.
The king of Qin sent messengers to tell the king of Zhao that he would meet him at Mianchi. The prince of Zhao was afraid, but he didn't dare not go. Lin Xiangru accompanied the prince of Zhao to Mianchi. When the king of Zhao was forced to play the harp, he argued for equality with Zhao Ping, forcing the king of Qin to strike.
Later, Qin asked Zhao for fifteen cities, but he refused to give in, saying that the king of Qin would get nothing in exchange for the capital of Qin. Lin Xiangru tactfully protected the safety of the prince of Zhao without being humiliated, and was called "the meeting of Mianchi" in history.
12, New Pavilion Meeting in Eastern Jin Dynasty: the most inspirational dinner.
At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, after the rebellion of the Eight Kings and the disaster of Yongjia in the Central Plains, a large area of land in the north fell into the hands of the Hu people. The northern gentry moved their families to the south one after another, and 67% of them crossed the river to the south, which was called "crossing the river with clothes on" in history.
Although scholars in the north settled in the south for a period of time, they often worried about their motherland. In their spare time, they will have a drink in the new pavilion by the Yangtze River outside the city.
Celebrity Zhou Yi sighed: "The scenery is different, so you can't look up and see it." Everyone present felt that the Central Plains had fallen into foreign hands. At that time, there was no hope for their motherland, and they wept in succession. Wang Dao, the leading celebrity, immediately changed color and snapped: "We work together to overcome China. Why should we be a relative crying prisoner!"
When they heard Wang Dao say this, they were very ashamed and cheered at once. This is a very famous new pavilion meeting in history. The "wonders", "new pavilions" and "rivers" often seen in poems and songs lamenting the destruction of the country and the death of the family in later generations all came from this new pavilion.
13, feast of wine and color: Zhou Wang's wine pool meat forest
Shang Zhouwang was the last emperor of Shang Dynasty. It is said that he was a famous tyrant in China. He invented and used a lot of torture to punish those who opposed him. He also credulized the slanderers of da ji, his favorite concubine, and lived a dissolute and shameless life.
Moreover, Zhou Wang has built many magnificent palaces and magnificent deer platforms. Lutai is three miles high in thousands of feet and wide. According to Jiang Ziya's prediction, it will take 35 years to complete this project, which shows that the project is huge. Zhou Wang ordered Bei Bo Chonghou Tiger Governor to build Lutai, which took two years and four months and consumed a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. This 35-year-old project was completed in only two years and four months, which shows that Zhou Wang has plundered the people's wealth.
Zhou Wang also ordered the sand dune platform to fill the pool with wine, cut the meat of various animals into large pieces and hang them in the forest. This is the so-called "wine pool meat forest", which allows you to eat and drink at will while playing, and your life is decadent.
Zhou Wang's atrocities finally paid off, and the Shang Dynasty finally perished in his hands. The idiom "Wine Pond and Meat Forest" comes from Zhou Wang's decadent and dissolute life, which describes debauchery, corruption and luxury.
14, cooking wine hero: the most domineering meal
Liu Bei participated in the anti-Cao Cao political faction, but at that time Liu Bei was placed under the fence of Cao Cao, so he planted vegetables at home to hide his identity. One day, when Liu Bei was watering vegetables, Cao Cao sent someone to invite Liu Bei to Xiaoting to make wine. Cao Cao talked about contemporary heroes and asked Liu Bei who is the contemporary hero? Cao Cao said: There are only two heroes in the world today, you and me.
Hearing this, Liu Bei was taken aback, and his chopsticks fell to the ground unconsciously. It happened that there was a lot of thunder. Liu Bei had a brainwave and calmly bent down to pick up chopsticks, saying that he was afraid of losing them when it thundered. After such concealment, Liu Bei made Cao Cao think that he was a mediocre man with no ambition and cowardice, and Cao Cao never doubted Liu Bei again.
15. Health-keeping Banquet: Han Xizai Night Banquet.
In the history of China, the Tang Dynasty finally came to an end. Like a mammoth crashing into the ground. People in charge of military power, like vultures, ate every territory of the empire. China is once again divided, that is, the so-called Five Dynasties and Ten Countries.
One of these small countries claimed to be an orthodox concubine of the Tang Dynasty, and took Tang as the national title, occupying a rich area in the south of the Yangtze River. This small country, known as Nantang, has a developed economy and advocates the art of poetry and painting. Several emperors were also very talented, and the last emperor, Li Yu, was the most famous. All this is quite a legacy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but the southern Tang Dynasty was politically weak and militarily incompetent, and only survived by the natural barrier of the Yangtze River.
In the Southern Tang Dynasty, there was a veteran of the Three Dynasties-Han Xizai. He was a scholar in the late Tang Dynasty and a famous scholar at that time. He knows music, is good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is full of political talent. Han Xizai was originally a gentry in Qingzhou, Shandong. Because his father died in battle, he avoided disaster in Jiangnan, but served as an official in Southern Tang Dynasty. The emperor attached great importance to his talent and made him a teacher of the Prince and an editor of history books. Then he used his political talent to make him a minister of the official department and even the Ministry of War. He has done very well in every position.
Li Yu, the late master, wants to worship him as prime minister. However, it is reported that Han Xizai called several ministers to get together at his house every night in an attempt to form a clique for personal gain. In fact, this is the reaction of the southern gentry and the ruling class to the northern gentry under the situation of division and confrontation between the North and the South. The late master Li Yu sent a royal painter to visit Han Fu at night. After coming back, he learned it by heart, drew a picture of Han Xizai's banquet and gave it to the late master Li Yu. How does this picture describe the banquet? Focusing on Han Xizai, it is divided into five scenes: listening to songs, watching dances, resting, blowing and feasting. In the first stage, Han Xizai feasted with the guests and listened to the ladies playing the pipa.
In the second paragraph, Han Xizai's concubine, Wu Wangshan, danced, while Han Xizai personally played drums. In the third paragraph, after the guests left, the host and actress rested and washed. In the fourth paragraph, Han Xizai enjoys the cool in plain clothes and listens to the wind music played by a female ci-dancer. In the fifth paragraph, some overnight guests tease female prostitutes. As the protagonist, Han Xizai frowned thoughtfully, completely ignoring the wine, food and music in front of him. In fact, he doesn't like such colorful scenes. All this is just to hide people's eyes and ears and save themselves. Li Yu also felt that Han Xizai was just a sensual entertainment, which removed his guard, and Han Xizai eventually died in a high position.
16, enjoy the Eight Immortals Chang 'an Reception: the most poetic dinner.
As the ancients said, "When two scholars talk together, they must say wonderful methods." What kind of grand occasion will this "drinking eight immortals" be? We can only try to figure out the experience from Du Fu's poems. The Eight Immortals of Drinking are the poet He, Ruyang Wang Jinlin, Li, the beautiful teenager Cui Zongzhi, a vegetarian, the poet Li Bai, the calligrapher Zhang Xu and the debater Jiao Sui.
On this day, Dionysus Brewmaster held a wedding; You come and go, raise a glass and drink; It is intertwined and full of joy; Wine and color get together, and drink and enjoy; Sit and chat, get drunk and forget your troubles; Take literature as a friend and poetry as wine; Only wine is a service, how do you know the rest? Suddenly wake up and get drunk again; Pick a lamp when you are drunk, and look for wine under the lamp; Dry Kun in the wine, the sun and the moon in the cup; Sake is sacred, and turbid wine is virtuous; Wine has confused your nature, and it has strengthened my courage; Master of wine forest, rookie of drinking altar; Deep feelings, a bite will be covered; Feelings are not deep, and the tip of the tongue is awkward; The sea eats and drinks, and the ox drinks and the donkey drinks; Wine meets bosom friends, and a thousand cups hate less; Three rounds have passed, and there are still six laps; After six laps, there are ten altars ...
If you drink like this, even the gods will get drunk. As a result, as a result, there are:
Ho, Fairy: Zhang Zhi rode like a boat, dazzled, and fell asleep at the bottom of the well.
Ruyang Wang Erxian: Ruyang three fights start from the sky, and the road is drooling at the corner of the car. I wish I could not seal it to Jiuquan.
Li's third immortal: the left side is rich, drinking like a long whale sucking hundreds of rivers, and the curved cup is called avoiding sages.
Cui Zongzhi, four immortals: a handsome boy of Zong, looking up at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as Yushu before the wind.
Su Jin, Five Immortals: Before Su Jin borrowed a long time to embroider Buddha, he often liked to escape Zen when he was drunk.
Six immortals Li Bai: Li Bai has a bucket of 100 poems and sleeps in Chang 'an Restaurant. The son of heaven couldn't get on the boat, saying it was Brewmaster.

Eight Immortals Jiao Sui: Jiao Sui was outstanding in five fights, and Kan Kan talked about it, which surprised four banquets.
17, Rise Banquet: South River Banquet of Genghis Khan.
Kyle Polo Temujin was born in the family of a Mongolian tribal chief. When I was a teenager, my father was poisoned by the hostile Tata family. He defected to Wang Khan's Ministry and Jamukha's Ministry, but he was also gathering his father's old men and secretly developing his own strength. Finally, he founded Voludo independently. He used the contradiction between Mongolian tribes to unite one side to attack the other, and then divided them one by one. The Tatar Department, Naiman Department and former friend Jamukha Department, which were a headache for Jin people, were eliminated successively, and finally the department that had been kind to him but turned against him was conquered, and the Hulunbeier grassland was unified.
Then he reorganized the tribe into thousands of households and merged. Since then, a unified Mongolian nation has been born. In A.D. 1206, Temujin held the Hulitai Conference on the Monan River, that is, sweating, and became the supreme ruler of the Mongolian nation, known as Genghis Khan in history, which means sweating like a sea.
Genghis Khan began to fight abroad, first trying to fight Xixia, forcing Xixia to make peace, and jointly attacking Xu Jin, which oppressed the Mongolian population for a hundred years. He wiped out the elite troops, occupied the capital, and retreated Jin's army to the south of the Yellow River. Then Genghis Khan began the Western Expedition, sent general Zhe Bie to destroy Western Liao, and personally conquered Samarkand, Yulong Red Festival and other city-states. Mongolian troops attacked the Black Sea and the Indus Valley for the first time. Before he died, he left the strategy of uniting the Song Dynasty to destroy the gold.
