Chapter 485 Liao Kingdom’s reaction
"The Xingqing Mansion fell in one battle! This is impossible? The walls of the Xingqing Mansion are high and the city is strong. Who in the world can break it!"

Yelu Nanxian looked embarrassed. If the evil doctor Fan Zheng could really defeat Xingqing Mansion in one battle, wouldn't she also be in danger?

Li Qianshun said solemnly: "Back then, Dali City also had the Cangshan Mountain Natural Barrier and the two great passes of Longshou Pass and Longwei Pass. However, in the end, it was also defeated by the evil doctor Fan Zheng in a single battle!"

Hearing Li Qianshun mention Dali City, Yelu Nanxian couldn't help but tremble. Compared with Dali City, which has natural dangers, Xingqing Mansion's defensive advantages are far inferior.

Yelu Nanxian raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said coldly: "Dali relies too much on natural dangers, so the evil doctor Fan Zheng seized the opportunity and broke through the city with one blow. And if you want to defend the city wall, the most important thing is strength. I Xixia has hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers, and they can even defeat the Thunderous Thunder, which is enough to defeat the Song Dynasty!"

Xingqing Mansion does not have the unique natural protection of Dali City, but it also does not have the vulnerability to climb over Cangshan Mountain. Coupled with the Xixia soldiers and Zhentian Lei, it is impossible for them to believe that the evil doctor Fan Zheng can defeat Xingqing Mansion in one battle!
"Could it be that the evil doctor Fan Zheng deliberately used the lessons learned from Dali City to scare us, and deliberately made Xixia abandon the high walls of Xingqing Mansion and fight with the Song army in the field?" Li Qianshun opened his eyes wide and thought of a possibility!
"Evil doctor Fan Zheng is acting strangely, it's hard to guess, but it's possible!" Yelu Nanxian said with a headache.

"There is also a secret report that the evil doctor Fan Zheng recruited a group of water thieves in the Song Dynasty. This is also very likely to be his evil recipe?" Li Qianshun raised another possibility!
"It is simply wishful thinking to use a group of bandits to destroy Xixia!" Yelu Nanxian yelled angrily.

However, having said that, no one dares to be careless. After all, there is no way to prevent evil doctors from doing good and evil. Any negligence may cause Xixia to lose everything!
Li Qianshun said solemnly: "The Great Song Dynasty destroyed Qingtang, Tubo, and Dali. It can be said that the fierce flames are overwhelming. Now that the Great Song Dynasty has been inactive for three years, the military front is directed at Xixia, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng is appointed as the commander. I am afraid that he wants to destroy the Xixia Kingdom Zuo. Please also ask the queen to send a message to Beijing to request military assistance!"

Although Li Qianshun was confident that he could stop the Song Dynasty with his own strength, the evil doctor Fan Zheng was so weird that he had to be on guard and ask for help from the Liao Kingdom!
"Ask for help from the imperial brother!" Yelu Nanxian was a little reluctant. She naturally knew that Yelu Yanxi was extremely selfish. If she asked for help in vain, she might not only be unable to get what she wanted, but would also be humiliated!

Li Qianshun gritted his teeth and said: "Just say, if Liao and Xia can defeat the Song Dynasty in this battle, Xixia will definitely help the Liao Kingdom to destroy the Song Dynasty!"

But now that Xixia is weak, he has to bow his head and rely on Yelu Nanxian to get help from the Liao Kingdom!

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to persuade the emperor to send troops to help!" Yelu Nanxian nodded happily.

"Brother Imperial has admired Xixia's cold forging method for a long time. If your majesty can promise you the cold forging armor, you will definitely be able to get the Liao Kingdom to send troops!"

Yelu Nanxian frowned and said: "You also know that my royal brother's character is that he will not let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit. I'm afraid it will be difficult for my husband to succeed if he wants to ask the Liao Kingdom for help."

Instead, he took the initiative to send troops to threaten the Song Dynasty, asking the Song Dynasty to withdraw its troops, and at the same time blackmailed the Song Dynasty for a sum of money.

If she can promote Liao Xia to destroy Song Dynasty, her voice will greatly increase in both Liao and Xixia.

Soon, Yelu Nanxian immediately sent an envoy to Liao Kingdom to ask for help.

As Yelu Nanxian said, the Song Dynasty has cracked the cold forged armor, and the value of the cold forged method has plummeted, not to mention that Xixia is now in danger. If the Xixia Kingdom is destroyed, the cold forged method will be a piece of waste paper.

Watching Yelu Nanxian leave, Li Qianshun's face suddenly darkened. Although Yelu Nanxian had married to Xixia and had a son, his heart still yearned for the Liao Kingdom.

Ten years ago, the Liao Kingdom would have chosen the second option without hesitation, but now the world situation has changed. The Song Dynasty has a large number of thunders, and the Liao Kingdom may not be able to take advantage of sending troops, and the Liao Kingdom's largest financial source is the mainland. The Silk Road still needs to rely on the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty is angered, the Liao Kingdom will probably suffer heavy losses.

Li Qianshun's face was uncertain. After a long time, he finally nodded and said: "Okay, if Liao helps Xixia to overcome this crisis, Xixia will thank you with the method of cold forging!"

The Song soldiers attacked Xia, obviously to destroy Xia. Faced with such national conditions, the Liao Kingdom had only two choices. One was to sit back and watch the war between the two countries, and let Xixia fend for itself.

"Your Majesty, if the Song army attacks Xia, how should the Liao Kingdom deal with it?" Yelv Zhangnu said loudly.

Li Qianshun naturally knew that if he wanted Liao to help, Xixia would have to pay the price. For this reason, the Song Dynasty never forgot to destroy Xixia, and Xixia didn't want to take the opportunity to destroy the Song Dynasty!

The marriage between Liao and Xia, and the Song Dynasty's blatant attack on Xixia, obviously did not take the Liao Kingdom into consideration.

As soon as Xiao Wuna said this, Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but hold his breath. The Song Dynasty was now the richest in the world, with taxes alone reaching 20 million yuan. If the Liao Kingdom could take over the Central Plains, then he would definitely become the most powerful person in the history of the Liao Kingdom. The greatest emperor.

"Cold forging method?" Li Qianshun's expression changed. The cold forging method was Xixia's secret method.

"What about the Queen's opinion?" Li Qianshun asked.

Prime Minister Xiao Wuna immediately reported: "Your Majesty, I believe that we must fully assist Xixia. The so-called lips are dead and the teeth are cold. The Song Dynasty is now aggressive. After destroying several countries in a row, it now wants to destroy Xixia, let alone Song and Liao. With the entanglement between Yanyun and Sixteen Prefectures, there will be a battle with Liao in the future, so why not take this opportunity and join forces with Liao and Xia to march into the Central Plains!"

At the same time, Liao State's Shangjing also received information about the Song army's movements!
"The Song Army's target is Xixia!" Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after receiving accurate information, and said angrily.

Yelu Nanxian advised: "The method of cold forging is indeed the secret method of Xixia. However, now that the Song Dynasty has cracked the cold forged armor, this secret recipe is no longer precious. Among the three kingdoms, only the Liao Kingdom does not have cold forged armor. Naturally, the Liao Kingdom Not willing to give in, besides, no matter how precious the cold forging method is, it is not as good as Xixia Guozuo!"

However, Xiao Fengxian, the head of state, still objected: "I am opposed to sending troops to help Xixia!"

"Why is this?" Yelu Yanxi frowned.

Xiao Fengxian solemnly said: "Your Majesty, today's Song Dynasty is no longer the Song Dynasty of the past. Not only has its national power increased greatly, but it also has powerful thunders. What's more, if the Song Dynasty sends troops to Xixia, it will definitely do more harm to Liao Dynasty." Be prepared, if the Song Dynasty sends troops, the battle of Pingxia City will definitely happen again!"

"Shaking thunder!"

"The Battle of Pingxia City!"

As soon as Xiao Fengxian said this, all officials in the Liao Kingdom fell into silence. Although Xiao Fengxian's move meant that he was afraid of war, what he said was the truth.

With the powerful national power of the Song Dynasty, they would definitely be able to create countless thunderbolts. With the support of city walls, these thunderbolts would be fatal to the Liao army. Not to mention that the Liao Kingdom was better at field battles than sieges.

If the Liao State surrounded Wei to rescue Zhao and sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty, regardless of whether it could save Xixia, the Liao State would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Yelu Zhangnu reported: "Your Majesty, information has come from the south. The Privy Councilor Zeng Bu of the Song Dynasty has gone north and should be responsible for the defense of the Liao Kingdom. If nothing happens, the Song Dynasty warships led by Tong Guan will also appear in the Bohai Bay. !”

"Great Song Battleship!"

Yelu Yanxi suddenly felt a flash on his back. He saw with his own eyes the spectacular scene of thousands of ships lining the Bohai Sea.

Nowadays, the navy is the biggest weakness of the Liao Kingdom. If the Liao Kingdom sends troops, the Song warships will wreak havoc in the Bohai Bay. Nanjing, Zhongjing, and Tokyo of the Liao Kingdom will all be within the attack range of the Song warships. This is something that the Liao Kingdom cannot threats borne.

Seeing that all the officials in the Manchu Dynasty, including Yelu Yanxi, were also wavering, Xiao Wuna couldn't help but sigh, and could only use his last trump card: "Zhentian Lei and the Song Dynasty Navy are indeed a big threat, but the Liao Kingdom has no choice but to The reason for sending troops is firstly because the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and secondly it is for the cold forging method!"

Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but said in surprise: "Xixia is willing to offer the cold forging method?"

Among the three kingdoms of Song, Xia and Liao, both Song and Xia had cold forging methods and forged cold forged armor. Xixia made the famous Iron Kites, while the Song Dynasty made the invincible Iron Pagoda. Only the Liao Kingdom did not have the cold forging method. Although it had the Tielin Army, its armor was too heavy and was slightly inferior to the Iron Kites and Iron Buddha.

But now Xixia is willing to offer cold-forged armor, which just makes up for Xixia's shortcomings.

Yelu Yanxi heard this and said loudly: "Li Qianshun is my sister-in-law in the marriage between Xia and Liao. Now that Xixia is in trouble, how can I just sit idly by and watch."

For the cold forging method, Yelu Yanxi couldn't care so much. He didn't believe that the Song Dynasty dared to fight against the Xia and Liao coalition forces!
Xiao Wuna and Yelv Zhangnu looked at each other and sighed helplessly. Although they did not want to start a war, they knew that the Liao Kingdom could not refuse the temptation of cold forging.

At this moment, an urgent order eight hundred miles away reached Shangjing.

"Your Majesty, the Northeast is undergoing great changes, and Wanyan Agu has launched an army to rebel against the Liao Dynasty!" The messenger came in a hurry, bringing explosive news.

"what?"

The monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom suddenly stood up and looked at the messenger with shocked expressions.

The messenger lowered his head and said: "Wanyan Aguda swore to fight against the Liao at Lailiu River, listed several crimes committed by the Liao Kingdom, and gathered elite Jurchen soldiers to attack Ningjiang Prefecture! Ten generals Yeluxie died in the battle, and the defensive leader, the great pharmacist slave, was captured! Our army was defeated! "

"What a waste! I deployed two thousand elite soldiers in Ningjiang Prefecture to guard against the Jurchens, but they were defeated so easily by the Jurchens!" Yelu Yanxi said angrily.

The Jurchens relied on ginseng to rise strongly, so Yelu Yanxi naturally took more precautions against them. He even deployed two thousand fully armed soldiers and equipped them with thunder.

The current situation of the Jurchens lacking armor was enough to suppress the Jurchen tribes, but the reality gave Yelu Yanxi a heavy blow.

The messenger reported: "Reporting to your majesty, according to the report of the defeated troops, Wanyan Aguda led 3,000 armored soldiers in this battle, and was assisted by thunderous thunder. Our army was not aware of it for a moment, and this was the reason why we suffered a huge defeat!"

"Impossible? How could the Jurchens have so many armored soldiers? How could there be thunder?" Yelv Zhangnu said in shock.

Under the blockade of the Liao Kingdom, the Jurchens did not have much armor and weapons at all. How could they suddenly have 3,000 armored soldiers, let alone such powerful weapons as the Thunderbolt?

"Da Song!"

"The Song Dynasty has colluded with the Jurchens!"

Many Liao officials exclaimed.

"But the Song Dynasty is thousands of miles away from the Jurchens, how can it collude with the Jurchens!" A Liao official asked doubtfully.

"Ship!"

"The Song Dynasty sent weapons to the Jurchens on sea ships!"

"The Song Dynasty seduced the Jurchens to rebel just to destroy Xixia!"

........................

Naturally, not all the people in the Liao court were filled with wine and rice bags. He quickly thought of the origins of these three thousand armors and thunder, and at the same time guessed the Song Dynasty's intention!
No one thought that the opening of the sea in the Song Dynasty, in addition to bringing a steady stream of wealth, could also bring such a big threat to the Liao Kingdom.

"It's true that there is reincarnation in the way of heaven!" Xiao Wuna said helplessly.

I think back when Xixia was founded, the Liao Kingdom vigorously supported Dangxiang, which allowed Dangxiang to gain a firm foothold and became a blood-sucking insect in the Song Dynasty, causing the Song Dynasty to continue to bleed.

And now the Song Dynasty is repeating the same trick, vigorously supporting the Jurchens and letting the Jurchens imitate Dangxiang. Once the Jurchens are established and the Liao Kingdom oppresses the Jurchens, the Jurchens will be like Dangxiang and will bring endless trouble to the Liao Kingdom. .

"Your Majesty, please order the dispatch of troops immediately to put down the Jurchen rebellion!" Xiao Fengxian said impatiently.

If the Jurchens rebelled, wouldn't it mean that the business of ginseng would be gone in the future? What a huge loss it would be to them!
"Your Majesty, please put down the rebellion!"

A group of Liao ministers also asked for orders.

With the lessons learned from Xixia, everyone knows that once the Jurchen country is established, it will be a maggot in the tarsus of the Liao Kingdom! This is something that the Liao Kingdom cannot tolerate under any circumstances.

"But what about Xixia?" Xiao Wuna still insisted.

Xiao Fengxian snorted coldly: "Don't you understand, Prime Minister, that the Song Dynasty would support the Jurchens so much just to make the Liao Kingdom make a choice, to protect Xixia or to destroy the Jurchens!"

Many ministers nodded slightly. If the Liao State chose to protect Xixia, it would allow the Jurchens to grow bigger. By then, the Jurchens would be the Xixia of the Liao State, and the two countries were in the same situation.

And if the Liao Kingdom chose to destroy the Jurchens, they could only sit back and watch the Song Dynasty destroy Xixia. One was their unrelated sister-in-law, and the other was their own personal pain. The Song Dynasty seemed to have given the Liao Kingdom two choices, but in fact there was only one choice from beginning to end. Then That is to destroy the Jurchens.

"Give us the order to assemble a hundred thousand troops, with Xiao Fengxian as commander. We must crush the Jurchens!" Yelu Yanxi said with a stern look.

As expected by Fan Zheng, Yelu Yanxi immediately chose her own interests and wanted to completely eliminate the Jurchen scourge!

"Your Majesty, think twice. Xixia and Liao are dying and their teeth are cold. We must protect them!" Xiao Wuna said sadly.

Once it loses the control of Xixia, the Song Dynasty will no longer have any worries. Its next goal must be to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun. At that time, a life-and-death battle will definitely break out between Song and Liao.

Yelu Yanxi's figure froze, and he naturally knew the consequences.

"I can support Xixia with a batch of sky-shaking thunders, but Xixia must bring the method of cold forging. If Xixia can support the Liao Kingdom in this battle until the Jurchens are destroyed, I will compete with the Song Dynasty again!"

Yelu Yanxi's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty. This time he was tricked by Song Dynasty.

After he destroys the Jurchens, he will definitely send his troops south to completely destroy the Song Dynasty and dominate the world!
