Youhalabadu was originally named Youxingge , Jin Dynasty Bohai people, and repeatedly led their troops to fight the attacks of the Mongolian army. Later, he was surrendered by the Mongolian general Mu Huali . Genghis Khan gave him the name "Halabadu". The original meaning of "Hala" is "black", which is extended to mean greatness. "Badu" means warriors, and together it means "great warriors".
1 In 1218, Halaba Du was awarded the Golden Tiger Talisman and was promoted to General of the Dragon and Tiger Guard, serving as the Marshal of the North Road of Hedong Road, guarding Taiyuan. At this time, Taiyuan City had just been occupied by the Mongols, and everything was in trouble. Halaba City organized forces to repair the city, rectify its arms, recruit subordinate towns, and ordered all shops to open as usual. The good social order attracted people around to join us. Halaba Du once went on a private visit at night and heard from the people: "Our parents and sisters were separated in the war, and the dead were unable to revive them. However, some of the living were captured by Mongolian soldiers and used as slaves, and we had no money to redeem them. It was really a miserable life." The next day, Halaba Du ordered that those who were redeemed by their relatives were allowed to redeem them by their relatives, and those who had no money would be paid for them. Therefore, many broken families were reunited.
1220, the Liang prefect of the Jin Dynasty occupied Xifengzhai and plundered peasants' oxen everywhere. The people all accused Halaba. Halaba led the cavalry to chase and kill the Liang prefect, chopped off his head, hung it on the west gate of Taiyuan City, and returned the peasant ox. In the spring of
1221, the Jin soldiers attacked Wanghuzhuang in Shouyang County. The situation was extremely critical. The left and right generals divided their troops to defend. There were less than 100 soldiers who could fight in the village. Late at night that day, Halaba personally led more than a dozen cavalrymen to rescue. When they were about to arrive, they found that the Jin soldiers were igniting fire at the east and west hills. Halabadu led the cavalry to fight. At dawn, the Jin soldiers were defeated and took advantage of the emptiness of Taiyuan to capture Halabadu's family. After learning about it, the fast horse went straight to Xishan and took back his family from the enemy's camp. Soon, the Jin Dynasty general Zhao Quan's mansion led 50,000 troops to besiege Taiyuan. Halabadu led 30 cavalrymen to rush out of the west gate, and ordered other cavalry to drag the branches behind to raise the rolling dust. Halaba shouted to warn the Jin soldiers, "30,000 Mongolian cavalry are here!" The frightened Jin soldiers returned with great defeat. In 1223, the general of the Jin Dynasty, Ma Wujing, attacked Sangzizhai, Taigu County. Halaba set up ambushes in dangerous places, and he personally led the cavalry to attack the enemy's team. The ambushers came out together, and the enemy was defeated. At this time, there were only Shijia'ang, Lingjingzhai (at the time in , , , , , , , ), and Qingquanzhai were not occupied by the Mongolian army. In the autumn of 1224, Halaba Du led his troops to Lingjing Village and sent his soldiers to contact him, lying that the local farmers had delivered food and grass, and deceived him to open the village gate. Halaba Du took the opportunity to rush into the village and flattened the village in one fell swoop. At the beginning of the next spring, Shijia'ang and Qingquan Village also surrendered to Halaba Du.
1227, the traitors in Taiyuan City surrendered to the Jin people, secretly opened the city gate, and led the Jin soldiers into the city. Halabadu rose up to resist, but the more enemies gathered, the Jin soldiers shouted, "Youhalabadu, surrender quickly." Halabadu replied loudly, "The important towns around Taiyuan have been lost. If I give up Taiyuan, what kind of face can I meet Genghis Khan and my benefactor Mu Huali? My family will let you do it, and I am determined to live and die with the city!" So, I fought hard and died.
