Chapter 463 0459 [Pretending to do a complete set]

Western Xia.

Xingqing Mansion.

In the palace hall, Li Qianshun was discussing matters with important officials in the court.

Li Qianshun asked: "What do you think of Dashi Linya's proposal?"

"I don't think it's necessary to pay attention to it. How can the three states of Xijing Road compare with Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road? Once these two roads are captured, our Daxia territory will expand to the greatest extent in history, and we can attack central Shu in the south and attack in the east. You can enter the Central Plains and advance and retreat freely."

The person who spoke was Brother Richard.

Brother Richard is the concubine of Li Qianshun, a member of the Xixia clan. He is good at strategy and brave in nature.

He is now the well-deserved number one general in Xixia, and he is also Li Qianshun's right-hand man.

Li Liangfu on the side agreed: "The words of the King of Jin are reasonable. Besides, since I, the Great Xia, have entrusted the Kingdom of Jin as the Dark Lord, how can we go around and around. Otherwise, the Dark Lord will be angry and raise troops to fight against it. What should we do?"

The main reason why the relationship between Xixia and Jin is so stiff lies in the cognition of both parties.

But Xixia didn't think so. When he professed his vassal status to the Song Dynasty, he was showered with old coins.

Brother Richard nodded with deep understanding.

"Not bad!"

Hearing this, Shangshu ordered Cao Jie to give Li Liangfu a sideways look and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think I can agree to Dashi Linya."

At that time, Xixia was really blocked at the door of their home, unable to move, and had to always be prepared for the Western Army to invade Xixia territory.

Li Qianshun respected the big brother Liao from the bottom of his heart.

After the battle, Jin Guo felt that the battle was too smooth and was not worthwhile, so he took back six of the lands.

The opponent's fortress tactics made him miserable. If the Liao State had not been asked to mediate and force the Song State to negotiate for peace, Yang Weizhong's fortresses would have almost reached Lingzhou and Xingzhou.

For another example, the following year, 1127, the Jin Kingdom once again promised, 'If it conquers the Song Dynasty, it will cut off the land north of Guanzhong and grant it to Xia'. This is the land that Yang Weizhong, Liu Fa and other generals took back from Xixia.

Cao Jie sneered and said: "I can just find any excuse to evade it. The Jin people are barbarians from the north and have no bearing of a big country. They paid tribute this year and only received a few animal skins in return. It is simply ridiculous."

I defeated you, do I still have to give you benefits?

"Therefore, I feel that instead of attacking Qi, it is better to stand still and wait and see what happens. If the Jin and Song Dynasties win, the five northwest routes will be in chaos. If we send out troops at that time, we can easily capture Qin Feng Road and Yongxing Army. If Qi wins, we will be in great danger Xia is not at a loss, he doesn't waste a single soldier, and he can conquer the three states of Xijing Road for nothing, why not do it."

Brother Richard's words just now are viewed from a national strategic perspective.

Cao Jie replied: "The Kingdom of Jin is not easy to mess with, how can Qi be a kind person? The emperor of Qi is unparalleled in bravery. Last year he defeated Wanyan Zongwang on Nanjing Road. The fierce general Wanyan and Lou of Jin were not the same enemy. A tragic death on the battlefield.”

After that battle, he was frightened.

It was the Liao Kingdom that took action and sent people to poison Empress Dowager Xiaoliang to death. At the same time, she supported her in taking control of the court and gradually gained a foothold.

Li Qianshun asked.

Li Qianshun's queen is Princess Cheng'an of the Liao Kingdom. Although the two have a political marriage, their relationship is extremely deep.

What the hell is this?
As a result, Jin Ting's rewards to Xixia were always repeated and fell into self-confusion.

Li Liangfu worriedly asked: "If you still don't move, what should you do if the faint master sends someone to question you?"

Wanyan Loushi led a thousand cavalry, which defeated the 30,000 Xixia elites led by Li Liangfu, killing thousands of enemies. When the Xixia army was defeated, they encountered a flash flood when they crossed the river, and corpses were everywhere.

Mentioning Yang Weizhong, Brother Richard's eyes flashed with helplessness.

Along with Princess Chengan, her eldest son Li Renai died on hunger strike.

In fact, in his heart, he was more inclined to help Yelu Dashi.

From the perspective of the Kingdom of Jin, if I conquer you, you will be my little brother and pay me tribute on time every year, and that will be it.

"Why?"

The loss of his beloved wife and son made Li Qianshun suffer, but he had to consider the country.

In particular, Xixia's rhetoric had a great shock and impact on Jinting's senior officials.

Now that he is the little brother of Jin Guo, shouldn’t Jin Guo, this dim master, be willing to show his kindness and give him some benefits?
There were huge differences in cognition between the two sides.

Li Qianshun's eyes lit up and he praised: "Cao Qing is worthy of being my minister of Great Xia. This is what he said when he planned for the country."

Cao Jie added: "What about Yang Weizhong, Zhong Shi and others? Don't forget that there are still 100,000 Western troops hoarding in the Northwest Five Routes. Once a war breaks out, even if Qi cannot send troops for reinforcements, it is impossible to say that they will support firearms. Backing up the strong city Fortress, and with the help of firearms, how many lives does King Jin intend to use to fill the hole in Qinfeng Road?"

For a while, I felt that what Xixia said made sense, and for a while, I felt that it seemed wrong.

But Li Liangfu was different. He was simply afraid of being beaten by the Jin.

Two years ago, after learning that Xixia had abandoned the Liao Kingdom and respected the Jin Kingdom as its faint lord, Princess Cheng'an died on a hunger strike, which made him extremely sad.

This can be seen from the history of Jin Dynasty.

For example, in 1126, the Jin-Xia coalition attacked the Song Dynasty. As a condition for sending troops to Xixia, the Jin ceded eight pieces of land in Xijing, including Yunnei, Tiandejun, and Wuzhou, to Xixia.

When I paid tribute to my eldest brother, the Liao Kingdom, the rewards were generous, several times as much as the tribute from Xixia.

The two countries have been related by marriage for generations. When he was young, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was involved in politics, and he, the emperor, was a complete puppet.

Brother Richard retorted: "The main force of Qi State is restrained by Jin State."

Li Renai was the prince, and Li Qianshun had high hopes for him since he was a child.

But later, after the Jin Kingdom took control of Shaanxi, they regretted it. It was obviously Wanyan Loushi who captured it, why should it be given to Xixia?
So, I stopped giving it.

There are many examples of people giving land and getting it back again.

What would you think if it were Xixia?
You big brother talks like farts and is picky and picky. Why the hell should I work for you?
Cao Jie's idea was approved by many ministers.

It is better to be still than to move.

Wait and see the situation first and adapt accordingly, so that no matter which side wins, Daxia will not lose.

Seeing that the ministers had reached a consensus, Li Qianshun decided: "In that case, I will reply to Dashi Linya and stand still."...

……

When Yelu Dashi got Li Qianshun's reply, it was already five days later.

Of course, it would not work to send people, but to fly across the eight hundred miles of sea through Haidongqing to deliver the information.

The first person to pass on Haidongqing as national intelligence was the Liao Kingdom.

Because the territory of the Liao Kingdom was too vast, and the emperor liked to go hunting from time to time, in case of emergencies, traditional information transmission was too slow, so Haidongqing was gradually used.

For this reason, the Liao Kingdom specially set up a department to take care of and train Haidongqing.

At the same time, it is prohibited for ordinary people to raise seaweed. Once discovered, they will be punished with a felony.

Xixia and Liao have been close for generations and are related by marriage. Xixia will be rewarded with several sea greens every year.

Compared with homing pigeons, Haidongqing has many advantages.

Homing pigeons fly slowly and are easily hunted by birds of prey. Haidongqing is different. With enough food and drink, it can cover thousands of miles in one flight, and its flight height is four to five thousand meters. It is not easy to be detected and is more concealed.

According to "Chronicles of Ninggu Pagoda": "The first-class eagle is named Haidongqing, and it can fly two thousand miles in one day."

Two thousand miles may be a bit exaggerated, but a thousand miles is totally fine.

Yelu Dashi immediately called for Ma Kuo and said in an excited tone: "Although Li Qianshun did not agree to attack the Jin Dynasty, he promised me that when the Jin and Song Dynasties attack Qi, he can stand still."

"You can just stand still."

Ma Kuo looked delighted.

Naturally, they knew Xixia's little thoughts, but it was enough if they could stand still and not cause trouble to them.

"I will order someone to send the news back to Kaifeng."

Ma Kuo left happily.

at this time.

Kaifeng Mansion is busy preparing for the ceremony of Mount Tai's Zen.

Han Zhen issued an order not to disturb the people in the counties and counties along the way, and all the grain, grass and baggage should be paid for by the national treasury.

As a result, carts of grain and grass were transported to the military camp outside Tokyo.

The fourth day of February.

In the early morning, Han Zhen dressed in formal attire under Zhao Fujin's service.

Zhao Fujin asked thoughtfully: "Husband, do you really not need me to accompany you?"

"Need not."

Han Zhen shook his head and said consolingly: "Taishan Zen is tedious and boring, and you don't have to go there for fun. If you go there, you will suffer in vain."

"That's good."

Zhao Fujin nodded.

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "Stay well in the capital and take good care of your sisters. When your husband comes back, I will have a child with you."

"Ah."

Zhao Fujin responded obediently, his eyes full of love.

After leaving Yanfu Palace, Han Zhen went all the way to Chui Gong Hall, where Xie Ding and other important officials were waiting in the hall early.

Looking around at the crowd, Han Zhen said loudly: "This battle is related to the destiny of our country, Qi, and it is bound to be decided in one battle. After I led the troops on the expedition, I had no time to take care of the rear. I also hope that all my dear friends will stabilize the court for me and appease the people." "

"(Wei) minister takes orders!"

All the important ministers looked solemn and responded in unison.

Han Zhen smiled slightly and said, "It's getting late. Let us, the monarch and his ministers, sing this last drama."

Hearing this, Xie Ding and others smiled.

The group of people left Xuandemen in a mighty manner. Under the gaze of countless people on both sides of the imperial street, Han Zhen boarded the dragon chariot and left the city.

Watching the mighty dragon chariot disappear from sight, the spies from various countries hidden in the crowd immediately sent the secret report out of the city.

In the military camp outside the city, Wei Da and He Guan had completed their army reorganization.

60,000 Qingzhou troops, plus 50,000 auxiliary troops, were ready. Ox carts were loaded with grain, grass and baggage, ready to set off at any time.

Da Da Da~
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves.

The next moment, three guards mounted their horses and drove into the military camp, saying loudly: "According to His Majesty's order, the Qingzhou Army came out of the camp and met with Your Majesty at Chenqiaoyi."

Wei Da stretched out his hand: "Do you have any instructions from His Majesty?"

The leading guard got off his horse and presented the manuscript.

After reading it several times and confirming that it was correct, Wei Da loudly said: "Send the order and the whole army sets off!"

Boom boom boom!
The 60,000-strong army left the military camp in a mighty manner and headed straight for Chenqiao Post.

It is perfectly normal for an emperor to go to Mount Tai to lead his bodyguards.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, he personally led 180,000 soldiers and horses. In comparison, Han Zhen's 60,000 soldiers and horses were inconspicuous at all.

This is why Han Zhen used Feng Chan as a guise.

Otherwise, the mobilization of 60,000 troops and a large amount of food and baggage would inevitably be revealed by spies from various countries.
