Hao Yuan Tuoba Sigong's ancestor was the leader of the Tangut Qiang people. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, he claimed to be the secretariat of Youzhou. Because of his participation in Huang Chao's suppression of the peasant army, he was promoted to our time and given the surname Li and long summer Palace, which became a buffer regime that was hit from generation to generation. During the Five Dynasties, Li always maintained the status of a vassal when he ruled the Central Plains regime. Therefore, it not only retains the actual strength, but also strengthens its strength because it does not participate in melee. After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, Li Jipeng, the newly appointed commander of Dingnan Army, volunteered to be stationed in the four states of Yin, Xia, Sui and You. However, my grandfather, Li Jipeng, is Li's younger brother and resolutely opposes it. Gather against the Song Dynasty. He used the contradiction between the Song Dynasty and Qidan to surrender to Qidan, and was appointed as the special envoy of the Xia King, who often attacked the counties and counties of the Song Dynasty. Demoted to the Song Dynasty, he became an observer in Yinzhou and changed his name to Zhao Baoji. After Hao Yuan's father, Li Deming, came to power, he negotiated with the Song Dynasty and accepted the titles of King Liangping of Qidan, our time in the Song Dynasty and King Xiping. Qidan called it Li Deming, and Song called it Zhao Deming. Therefore, Yuan Hao also has two names, Li Yuanhao and Zhao Yuanhao. The family background of warlords and aristocrats who completely depended on force to maintain the separatist status of the buffer region had a great influence on young Hao Yuan. After Li Deming came to power, he made Yuan Hao a prince and proposed to Qidan the following year. His wife named her Princess Xingping and Xia Guogong. Since then, the political ties between Xia and Qidan have been continuously strengthened. In October of the tenth year of Song Tiansheng, Li Deming died of illness, and Yuanhao Temple acceded to the throne. In order to carry out the policy of retaining the aunt, control the situation in the Song Dynasty, and delay the war, Hao Yuan was appointed as commander-in-chief of the difficult army, and Xiping was made king. Qidan named Yuan Hao Wang Xia. Wu's ambition is to be king, independent and unwilling to be controlled by any party. But judging from the situation at that time, we decided to unite with the Khitan temporarily to get rid of the subordinate position of the Song Dynasty. So, in October of the third year of the Qing Dynasty, he changed his name to Jian Xiao, became an emperor and became a country warrior. He changed his name to pastoral and gave him courtesy. In the first month of the following year, he became emperor in the Song Dynasty and asked the Song Dynasty to formally recognize him. Yuan Hao publicly asked the Song Dynasty to recognize his status as emperor, which greatly angered the ruling group of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty War began. In the Song Dynasty, Yuan Hao was forced to be recognized as the Lord of Xia. The war lasted for three years and the two sides signed a peace treaty. Among them, there are four major battles. Hao Yuan won three victories with his outstanding military talents. Yuan Hao pursues Wang Ba, but opposes being controlled. In the past, the title of Qidan was accepted mainly to jointly control the Song Dynasty. When the struggle against the control of the Song Dynasty ended, he certainly didn't want to be controlled by the Khitan for a long time. He will always be the summer king of Qidan. Especially in the late Xia-Song War, the Khitan took advantage of the contradiction between Xia and Song Dynasties, instead of helping Xixia, he put pressure on Yuan Hao not to attack the Song Dynasty, which angered Yuan Hao more and more. The Tangut tribes living in Qidan often defected to Zhixia. When the Khitans sent troops to suppress these defected Tangut tribes, Yuan Hao supported the Tangut tribes to defeat the Khitan army, and the relationship between the two sides gradually deteriorated. In the year of making peace in Xia and Song Dynasties, 800 households of Jiashan tribe in Qidan belonged to Yuanhao, who was responsible for returning the land.
Hao Yuan then adopted the policy of accumulating surplus and exhausting it, and ordered the troops to retreat three times, which lasted more than 100. Every time we retreat, we set fire to the grass along the way. The Khitan horse had no grass to eat, so Yeluzong really had to promise to make peace. But Hao Yuan deliberately delayed the time and further delayed the enemy. As soon as the Khitan army was exhausted, Yuan Hao suddenly attacked, and the Khitan army was in flight and suffered heavy casualties. Hao Yuan attacked the camp in the town of Lu Yezong. Lu Ye Zongzhen only led a few people to escape from Riding East. In order to avoid too much hostility, Hao Yuan strictly left room for future peace talks, allowing him to escape without being pursued. After the victory of the Battle of Helan Mountain, Yuan Hao immediately sent envoys to the Khitan for peace and offered to return the prisoners. At the same time, he also presented trophies to the Song Dynasty to show Xia Jun's strength. After this failure, Qidan had to face up to the existence of Xixia. Have to agree to make peace. Yuan Hao successively won wars with Song and Qidan, and was politically equal to Song and Qidan. Since then, Xixia's attachment to Song and Qidan has not been completely eliminated in form, but in fact Xixia has become a military power in northwest China, forming a situation in which Song, Qidan and Xixia are in a tripartite confrontation. Hao Yuan's ambition to realize Wang Ba as a teenager should be said to have been realized. With the victory of the war and the strengthening of personal status and power, Yuan Hao, like most feudal rulers, became more and more arrogant and overbearing, and the contradictions within the ruling group became more and more acute. Shortly after the victory of Helan Mountain, a palace fight happened. On the second day of the first month, Yuan Hao was assassinated by his son Ning Lingge in the palace. He died at the age of 46.
