The Mongol army, after meeting its division, invaded the eastern European plains, first attacking the city of Briar in chinchabu on the lower Volga River. In the winter of 1237, under the leadership of Batu, the kings began to attack the Rus' kingdoms, and the Principality of Ryazan became the first target of the Mongol army. Unable to resist, Grand Duke Yuri of Ryazan appealed to the Principalities of Vladimir and Cherniv for help, but neither of the Rus' principalities sent troops. The Principality of Ryazan was isolated and helpless, and after several days of fierce fighting, its capital, Ryazan, was breached by the Mongol army. Ku liejian and Hedan led troops to attack the city of Kolomna, and the son of Taizu Genghis Khan, King Kuo lie, attacked the city strongly, but he was seriously injured by several arrows and died, and the king Hedan and Queli ordered the slaughter of the city of Kolomna without leaving a single person.

The Rus' princes and nobles who were defeated by the Mongols fled to Poland, Hungary and other countries in Eastern Europe, and fled into Hungary with the remnants of the Eastern European steppe Chieftain Kutan. Battus used this as a reason to invade the Hungarian state. Batu left 30,000 troops to garrison the cities, personally commanded the Mongol army to attack Hungary in three ways, and in the thirteenth year of Emperor Taizong's 1241 western expedition into the heart of Europe, the first to be invaded was Poland. The 30,000 most elite field soldiers of the Chagatai Khanate, led by DzongBaidar, Hedan, and King Chuli, launched a general attack on Poland, cutting off Hungarian foreign aid. King Poleslav of Poland lived in the capital city of Kravchuk, and the rest of the land was divided among his sons to form 4 small principalities. In March, the Mongol army crossed the Vestura River, broke through the city of Sandomir, and then besieged the city of Kravchuk.

The Polish army tried to block the Mongol attack, but was completely destroyed by the Mongol army, and the duke Boraslav Stdriviyi fled to Hungary with the remnants. In March, the Mongol army broke through Kravchuk, and the Mongol army looted and set fire to the city, and then invaded Silesia, and the army crossed the Oder River and attacked the city of Voroslav. Grand Duke Henry II of Silesia gathered more than 30,000 Polish troops and large armies and mercenaries from Germanic, French, Czech, Teutonic Knights and other countries, Henry led a large army to fight the Mongolian army, the Mongol army was defeated and retreated, Henry was overjoyed at first sight. The Mongol army led by The King Ofe and Hedan took advantage of the fact that Henry's army was exhausted, and suddenly launched multiple waves of counterattacks in a ladder, which was the traditional way of playing by the Mongol army, Henry was counted, and the Mongol army annihilated the coalition army led by Henry, and Henry was personally beheaded by Baidar. Baidar, Hedan, and Queli led their armies to Hungary to join the main forces of Battus.

King Bella IV of Hungary, who had received news of the presence of the first Mongol Tanma Red Army troops on the Border between Hungary and Poland as early as 1241, ordered the governor Dionysus to set up a fortress in the Carpathian Mountains. In March, the Mongol army led by Battus and Subutai made a surprise attack on the fortress in the Carpathian Mountains and entered Hungary. In April, Beira IV led an army of 60,000 men from the capital, Pest, to face the Mongol army. The Mongol army used the traditional tactic of defeat to lure Bella IV to an ambush circle on the banks of the Theo River, and in the middle of the night, the Mongol army suddenly surrounded the Hungarian legions and attacked on all sides, and then left a way out from the west, so that Bella IV's army trampled on each other in the escape, and the Mongol cavalry quickly killed in the rear. Bella IV fled with only the remnants to Austria, and then to an island in the Adriatic Sea. Hedan led the Mongol army to attack the city of Pest, and the local garrison and civilians stubbornly resisted the Mongol attack, and after three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the city of Pest was destroyed. Guiyu, Hedan, and Que Li led an army into the city, and the army set fire to slaughter the city at night as bright as day, and the blood flowed into the city.

The commander-in-chief Battus ordered Hedan to lead a Mongol army to pursue Bella IV all the way to the Adriatic Sea, where he plundered the italian peninsula cities of Sparrato and Catallo, but failed to capture Bella IV. In 1241, the Mongol army led by Baidar and Hedan set out and sacked Slovakia under Hungarian rule, all the way to Western Slovakia and other countries. Guiyu, Hedan, and Queli entered the city of Rudan by the border trail to conquer, recruited Germans as guides in the city, and took the captured soldiers as the forward siege troops, and the Mongol generals supervised the battle, and the method of filling the corpses in the bloody battle was practiced and climbed up, and successively attacked the cities of Voldin and Pilek, and their tactics were extremely bloody. In December 1241, the armies of Guiyu, Buri, and Batu successfully met with the armies of The Nau and Batu. In 1242, the news of the death of The Great Khan of Taizong Wokoutai arrived, and Batu ordered the Western Expedition to begin the eastward retreat. Batu led his army in early 1243 to the end of the Great Tent On the lower Volga. Batu established the Khanate of Chincha on the map of the countries conquered by the Volga River Valley, and the Great Khan of Dingzong Guiyu rushed back to the Mongolian capital of Halahlin.

When Hedan and Queli led their men and horses back to the Mongolian steppes, Dingzong Guiyu had already ascended to the throne of the Mongol Great Khan, but Hedan and Queli, who were shuzi, could only choose to submit to the fifth brother of The Taizong Wokoutai lineage, and Dingzong Guiyu had always regarded himself as a concubine, and from an early age he looked down on Hedan and The brothers of Queli. It was also because of the proud behavior of the concubine of the Great Khan of Wokoutai that the hedan and queli brothers who were out of the house were pushed to the camp of the Shuchi and Tuolei factions. After the death of Emperor Dingzonggui by the Great Khan, in the dispute over the khanship between the Wokoutai and Tuolei clans, the two emperors of Hedan and Queli firmly supported the Great Khan of Möngke, who was together in the western conquest of Eastern Europe, and Hedan and his younger brother Queli participated in the Kuritai Conference to elect a khan, and the brothers took the lead in supporting Möngke as the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.

After Meng Ge became the Great Khan, he also repaid Hedan and Queli, but also in order to attack the concubines and grandchildren of the Wokoutai clan, the Great Khan of Möngke directly re-divided the fiefdom of wokoutai Khanate, resealed Hedan and Queli, and sealed Hedan in the Bei lost Bali area, these two clans who had made great achievements in the Western Expedition, hedan Queli, at this time can be regarded as having a fief of their own.

In June 1256, after basically stabilizing the political situation of the Mongol Empire, Möngke Khan decided to personally march south to the Southern Song Dynasty, and Möngke Khan summoned the kings of the Eastern and Western Provinces and the wenwu ministers to recruit the Kuritai Assembly, and finally decided to accompany the kings of the Southern Expedition to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, and the King of Hedan led his men and horses from Bezotbali to meet with the Great Khan of Möngke. The southern expedition of the Great Khan of Möngke and the Song Army were quite strong and aimed to go west after the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, so the history books also called Möngke the conqueror of the world. The kings of this southern expedition were Hedan and Tat (sons of Emperor Taizong's son Ha lacha'er), Chagatai (son of Haban), Abhi (son of Buli), Nalin Hedan and Aji of the Tuolei clan. King Tachar of the Temuge lineage; The Transferor brother of the Hasar lineage, The Tsakura of the Hachwen lineage (son of chitai); and the claw of the Belegutai clan (also the son of the fast flower). King Kulinchi, Alechi, Na Chen, and other Taishi kings, horses, the Han army, and the eldest son of Daru Huachi, Su Wei, accompanied the army.

In 1259, in the ninth year of Emperor Xianzong, Möngke Khan died in battle at the Diaoyushan position in Hechuan City, the position of Great Khan was not designated, brother Ali Buge of Möngke Khan began to plot to seize the Khan's throne in Hala and Lin, and the descendants of the Wokoutai clan all supported Ali Buge's minority of Chagatai clan kings also supported some Western Daozong kings. After the death of Möngke Khan, the main Mongol army, which was personally commanded by Möngke Khan, fell into a group of dragons and was first returned north to Hala and Lin with the remains of Emperor Azov and Emperor Xianzong, and then transferred another one by the general AlanDar who supported Ali Buge.

In the face of Ali Brother's continuous dispatch of troops, the intention is already very obvious is to support the army and respect themselves, The ancestor Kublai Khan did not sit idly by, while questioning Ali Buge's reason for drawing a large army from the Southern Expedition, while sending people to recruit back the large army he commanded to return to the Southern Han Dynasty in case of an accident. At this crucial moment, the host kings, Khodan and Azurji, unanimously supported kublai Khan. King Tacha'er and others saw that Hedan had thrown himself into the army led by Kublai Khan of the Patriarch, and wuliang Hetai and his subordinates, who had come to the aid of the north from Dali, as well as the zongwang Abi lost his army, also expressed their support for kublai Khan.

In March 1260, Kublai Khan was called the Great Khan in Kaiping, jianyuan Zhongtong, and in April, Ali Buge was called the Great Khan in Hala and Lin, and the two Khans of the Mongol Empire stood side by side, and a civil war broke out. Kublai Khan ascended the throne, and the king of the clan, Hedan, had the merit of supporting it. In the first year of the Central Unification, Emperor Hedan defended against the armies of Alan Da'er and Hun Du Hai in Guzang, and killed them in a battle. The following year, from the northern expedition of Kublai Khan and the Lin War Ali Buge, the kings of the Ali Bu Brother line, in the Battle of Xi Tu Mu Nao'er, Ali Bu Brother was defeated and fled. In the same year, King Hedan died. His descendants were enfeoffed as the King of Long by his ancestors, and the Great King of Hedan played a very important role in the history of the entire Mongol Empire, and the three people with the same name in the history books are very chaotic, and the real King of Hedan is the Great Khan who stood on the right team twice, so the descendants lived well in the Yuan Dynasty because of their merits.
