Yelvzhu was smart and studious since he was a child, good at writing and calligraphy, and he was also good at riding and shooting.

This policy strengthened the founder Kublai Khan's determination to withdraw his troops and return to the north to proclaim himself Khan. Kublai Khan, the founder of the throne, followed his plan and sent out important news that he wanted the army to attack Lin'an City, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. He left the Mongolian generals to continue the attack on Ezhou City in the Southern Song Dynasty, which increased the military pressure on the Southern Song Dynasty. The surrendering faction of the Southern Song Dynasty Prime Minister Jia Sidao immediately sent envoys to request peace talks, and agreed to cede territory to the Southern Song Dynasty for peace, and send year-old coins every year. Only then did Kublai Khan lead his troops back north.

Yelu Zhu proposed a strategy and Kublai Khan personally led the army to counterattack, and divided his troops. Zongwang Yixiangge (son of Hasar), Zongwang Hedan and others were the vanguard.

Brother Shi Xiang led his army to first defeat the main forces of Yao Muhuer and Helachaer. After Ali Buge was defeated across the board, it was difficult to continue to stand in the capital and forest, so he led his troops to flee to the toulei fiefdom of Girigisi that he inherited.
