I will never be Renzong

Chapter 148 How the white-eyed wolf was developed

On the luxurious and luxurious dragon bed, Aya was curled up in a corner wrapped in a tulle brocade quilt, sobbing nonstop.

And Huamei only wore a white bellyband on her upper body and was helping Zhao Zhen to change.

Zhao Zhen did not expect that taking the Strong Body Pill and Zhuangyang Pill together would be equivalent to taking a strong aphrodisiac.

Huamei heard the begging for mercy from outside, and walked in out of distress, but was pushed down on the bed by Zhao Zhen unexpectedly. I won't describe the details one by one. All in all, Zhao Zhen enjoyed the blessings of all people.

"do not Cry!"

After Zhao Zhen put on his clothes, he teased Thrush a bit, and just now when he walked to the bed, seeing Aya who was still crying, he wanted to reach out and wipe away the tears from her eyes.

"Get out! You are dignified. The Emperor of Song Dynasty actually doesn't mean anything."

Aya slapped Zhao Zhen's hand off, and then looked at him angrily.

"Aya! What happened yesterday, I didn't mean it. I didn't say that to explain anything, nor did I want to shirk responsibility. Some things happened as they happened. I will take responsibility, so you might as well stay and be my responsibility." Concubine, I will definitely treat you well, whatever you want, I will definitely satisfy you!"

Zhao Zhen thought about it, no matter what, he broke his promise first.

"Be kind to my people and let me go, can you do it?"

Aya stared at Zhao Zhen and said.

"As long as your people abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty, then I can promise you to treat them equally. As for letting you go, are you sure you can leave if you lose your virginity?"

As soon as Zhao Zhen's words fell, Aya's delicate face darkened instantly.Because she is not only the most beautiful woman of the barbarians, but also the saint of the barbarians. According to the clan rules, the saints cannot marry for life and must be a virgin until they die.And once the chaste saintess is lost, the end will be miserable.

"Don't worry about it, in short, answer me, can you let me go?"

Aya suddenly asked coldly.

"cannot!"

Zhao Zhen smiled.

"Then the condition you said yesterday that you can leave if you win is also false?"

Aya asked again.

"Yes! I am teasing you!"

Zhao Zhen didn't care if the lie was exposed.

"you~"

Aya immediately rushed towards Zhao Zhen with long teeth and claws, but she didn't want her body to be seriously injured, and was pushed down on the bed by Zhao Zhen's backhand.

"Let go of me, I'm going to kill you shameless person!"

Aya struggled with all her might.

Zhao Zhen suddenly let go of Aya, and then put her hand on his neck.

"Come on! Get your hands on it!"

Zhao Zhen looked confident.

The thrush at the side hurriedly persuaded: "Girl Aya, please take a closer look. The man in front of you is an official of the Song Dynasty. If you hurt the official, it doesn't matter if you die. I'm afraid your clansmen will die." Pay the price for your actions, you have to think clearly!"

The man in front of her had given up resistance, and she was confident that as long as she exerted some strength, it would be possible to break the neck of the man in front of her, but the words of the maid at the side made her finally give up the idea of ​​killing the man, because the saint was still alive. Another bounden duty is to protect the clansmen at all times.

She let go of her hands, and then slumped on the bed with both hands limp.

Zhao Zhen pinched her chin and said: "You are the first woman I conquered in a foreign war. I can tell you that there will be more women like you in the future. Please think carefully about what to do!"

In Tianzhang Pavilion, Song Shou, a bachelor's attendant, is lecturing on "Book of Tang", while Zhao Zhen and several auxiliary ministers are observers.

After Song Shou finished speaking, Zhao Zhen suddenly said to the ministers: "I have read the old history, and it is common that heroes are rarely preserved. Like Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing, they have made great contributions to assisting the king, but they still cannot avoid being punished." Humiliated, it is really deplorable!"

Wang Zeng stood up and replied: "Pei Ji and the others suffered disasters because they did not know how to retire because of their achievements!"

Just as Zhao Zhen was about to say something, he suddenly saw the privy envoy Cao Li hurried in, and then he said: "Report to the officials, the Qiang people under the jurisdiction of Huanzhou and Yuanzhou rebelled, and Zhao Shilong, the governor of Huanqing, died in the battle. The state was occupied by the rebel Qiang people."

"what?"

Zhao Zhen's face suddenly fell.

"Can you find out why the Qiang people rebelled?"

Zhao Zhen said angrily.

"Go back to the official's house! I don't know!"

Cao Li hurriedly replied.

Zhang Zhibai said: "Officials! The Qiang people are under the control of Li Deming, the king of Xia. Now the Qiang people are rebelling and killing our soldiers at the border. I think the court should issue an order to question Li Deming, the king of Xia, and order him to hand over the murderer."

Wang Zeng said: "Officials! The Qiang people have finally settled down. I think the court should focus on appeasement, so don't resort to war!"

Zhao Zhen said: "Li Deming inherited all of Li Jiqian's territory. My Great Song Dynasty is very kind to him, and the Qiang people are also under his control. But now his subordinate tribes often invade the border and besiege the fort. Li Deming is in trouble. Let go of the blame, and I will issue an edict to hold him accountable."

Inside the Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Zhen looked at a map and remained silent for a long time.

Xixia is a descendant of the Tuoba family in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Later, the Huangchao uprising broke out in the Tang Dynasty. Tuoba Sigong led the tribe to fight against Huangchao and made great contributions. Therefore, he was appointed as the Xiazhou Jiedu envoy by Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty, and he was given the surname "Li", which made him It governs the five prefectures of Xia, Sui, Yin, You, and Jing.Since then, the Li family has become a veritable vassal power in the west.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Li family adopted a policy of preserving their strength and tried their best to avoid being involved in the whirlpool of civil war.

In the past 50 years, the Li family maintained a nominal relationship with Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou who successively ruled the Central Plains, but in fact they were vassal states that dominated one side.

When the Tang Dynasty was powerful, the Qiang people were the younger brothers. If they didn't obey the elder brother, they would be pushed to the ground and rubbed hard. Therefore, the Qiang people generally did not dare to declare war with the Tang Dynasty. In the later Tang Dynasty, Emperor Mingzong of the Tang Dynasty once used troops against Xiazhou, but was attacked. Li Shi resisted tenaciously and was finally defeated.

The Li family took advantage of this to greatly increase their prestige among the Qiang people in the Northwest Party, and the Central Plains Dynasty never dared to underestimate the Li family's power in Xiazhou since then.

After Song Taizu founded the country, he continued to implement the policy of the later Zhou regime to win over the Li family by adding officials to ranks. Taizu added Li Yixing as Taiwei, ranking among the three princes.

Later, Li Yixing sent envoys to donate three hundred horses to the imperial court. Taizu Zhao Kuangyin ordered someone to measure the jade belt for Li Yixing's school, and asked the envoys to ask, "What is the circumference of Li Yixing's waist?"

The envoy replied: "Yixing's waist is wide, comparable to the trunk of a tree hugged by two people." To put it bluntly, it is about the same level as Anlu Mountain.

Song Taizu replied: "Your commander is a blessed man."

The jade belt was finished that day, and when the envoy brought it back, Li Yixing was also very grateful to Song Taizu.

After Li Yixing's death, he was succeeded by Li Kerui. In the third year of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi's Taiping Xingguo, Li Kerui died. His son Li Jiyun succeeded his father. When Taizong conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, Li Jiyun sent troops to help.

But both Li Kerui and Li Jiyun were short-lived ghosts and died early. After Li Jiyun died, his younger brother Li Jipeng succeeded to the throne. When Xiazhou Jiedu envoy Li Jipeng came to power, the situation changed.

Because Li Jipeng could not solve the internal conflicts of the family, in the seventh year of Taiping Xingguo (982), he personally led his clansmen to Beijing to meet Emperor Song, and voluntarily donated the eight counties of Yin, Xia, Sui, and You.

However, Li Jiqian, the younger brother of Li Jipeng's family, Yinzhou Fanluo, refused to enter Beijing. He pretended to be a burial nurse and led dozens of people to flee to Dijinze, three hundred miles northeast of Xiazhou, where he assembled armed forces and began to fight the Song Dynasty Guerrilla warfare.

Li Jiqian lured and killed Cao Guangshi, the trainer of the Ruzhou regiment, and was later defeated by Wang Yu at Zhuolunchuan. He beheaded more than [-] people, and more than [-] people belonged to the Fan family. The Song Dynasty also adopted Zhao Pu's policy of "using barbarians to control barbarians" and appointed Li Jipeng. In order to determine the difficulty of Jiedushi, he was ordered to deal with Li Jiqian.

After several battles, Li Jiqian found that he couldn't beat Song Dynasty's father, so he expressed his submission on the table, and the old Zhao family has always had the habit of recruiting peace, so they not only accepted Li Jiqian's submission, but also named him Jinzi Guanglu Doctor, Yinzhou Observer, Tianshui Marquis of the county, with [-] households in Shiyi, gave the surname Zhao and changed his name to Zhao Baoji.

The reason why Li Jiqian surrendered was because he was seriously injured after the defeat and had to make an expedient measure.

In the fifth year of Song Taizong Chunhua, Li Jiqian rebelled again, and the Song Dynasty ordered general Li Jilong to lead his troops to crusade.

Li Jilong insisted on taking the enemy by surprise and directly attacking Xiazhou, Li Jiqian's hometown, not only captured the rebel Li Jipeng, but also occupied Xiazhou, and Li Jiqian was forced to flee.

Prime Minister Lu Mengzheng believed that Xiazhou should be destroyed and the original residents moved to other residences, so as to eliminate the scourge of Qiang occupying the city and rebelling.

I have to say that Li Jilong is still very far-sighted. He believes that the imperial court should retain Xiazhou and station heavy troops in Xiazhou, which will help to continue to encircle and suppress Li Jiqian's remnants.

As a result, Song Taizong, who was ambitious and talented, didn't listen, and ordered the city of Xiazhou to be burned down. However, the result was that Li Jiqian's power did not weaken because of this, but became a major disaster on the border.

It stands to reason that it is right to eat a ditch and gain wisdom. The Song Dynasty should encircle and suppress Li Jiqian's remnants. As a result, Li Jiqian saw that he could not defeat the Song Dynasty, so he ordered people to send tribute to Song Taizong. Li Jiqian was the observation envoy of Xiazhou.

But less than a year later, Li Jiqian, who had healed his wounds, betrayed the Song Dynasty again, this time making Song Taizong angry.

So in 996 A.D., Song Taizong ordered the five armies to conquer Li Jiqian. The original plan was to start from Huanzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xiazhou, and Linzhou respectively, and meet at Wubaichi on the agreed date. As a result, the five-way army failed to join forces in Wubaichi, and Li Jiqian escaped. The Song Dynasty also lost its favorable opportunity to capture Li Jiqian, which is known as Wubai's failure in history.

In 997 A.D., Li Jilong and Yang Qiong defeated Li Jiqian one after another, so Li Jiqian went to the table to ask for surrender. It stands to reason that one should give way and two should not give up three. For this kind of insidious, cunning and capricious villain, he should be resolutely eliminated.

But by coincidence, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi died this year, and Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne, so he adopted the policy of nunwu tranquility. Song Zhenzong ordered people to draft an edict praising Li Jiqian, and added officials to Li Jiqian, He was appointed as the envoy of the Dingnan Army to rule over Xia, Sui, Yin, You, and Jing five continents.

However, Song Zhenzong's appeasement policy did not bring about peace in the Northwest.

Lingzhou is located to the west of Xiazhou, separated from Guanzhong, Hedong, and the middle by a dry sea, which has great strategic significance in military affairs. Li Jiqian wanted to occupy Lingzhou as his capital.However, under the persistence of the soldiers and civilians in Lingzhou, they have not succeeded.

Due to the dry sea, it was very difficult to transport supplies to Lingzhou in the Song Dynasty, so the ministers Zhang Qi and Yang Yi suggested to abandon the city, and He Liang of the Yongxing Army refuted this proposal in the "Book of Anbian".

In March of the fifth year of Xianping, Li Jiqian led his troops to besiege Lingzhou. Pei Ji, the governor of the state, wrote a blood letter asking for help when he was isolated and helpless, but Lingzhou was captured before the rescue soldiers arrived, and Pei Ji died for the country.

Li Jiqian changed Lingzhou to Xiping Prefecture. In June of the same year, Li Jiqian wanted to take Linzhou with [-] cavalry.

Zhizhou Wei Jushi led the army and the people to resist bravely. Li Jiqian lost more than [-] people and had to retreat in the end.

In the second year after Li Jiqian captured Lingzhou, Pan Luozhi, chief of Liugu, was appointed by the imperial court as Shuofang Jiedushi. He assembled [-] cavalry and asked to recover Lingzhou together with court officials.

Before the battle between the two armies, Pan Luozhi pretended to surrender to Li Jiqian, but attacked Li Jiqian when he was unprepared.

Just when the Li family was about to be destroyed, the civil servant group of the Song Dynasty came out again, believing that Li Deming was different from Li Jiqian, and the court should adopt a policy of appeasement.

Both Cao Wei and Pan Luozhi submitted petitions to take the opportunity to destroy Xixia. As a result, Song Zhenzong was fooled by a group of civil servants. He wanted to use kindness to influence Li Deming. He refused to reply to Cao Wei's letter. He praised them verbally, but did not mention the matter of sending troops together, and the Song Dynasty has since missed the best opportunity to eradicate the power of the Li family.

Shortly afterwards, Pan Luozhi was also killed by Li Deming's old party, making the Song Dynasty lose a reliable Tubo ally.

Not only that, Song Zhenzong gave Li Deming the several states that the frontline soldiers of the Song Dynasty fought bloody and fought hard, and gave them generous rewards.

The reason why Li Jiqian can be respected as the ancestor of Xixia must be because of his scheming nature and his inability to beat Xiaoqiang to death.

But the Song Dynasty should have easily destroyed Xixia, but it ended up being troubled by tigers, and even Li Yuanhao of Xixia later established a country.

Since Zhao Zhen crossed over, he naturally couldn't allow the establishment of Xixia to happen, not only couldn't allow it, but even sent troops to destroy the Li family.

In the Jiezhou case, Zhao Zhen Zhao Zhen received a lot of money, and with the money accumulated in the treasury, it was easy to destroy Xixia. The most important point is that there is no need to worry about the Liao Kingdom taking the opportunity to send troops.

Because after the withdrawal of troops from the Song and Liao borders last year, the military focus of the Liao Kingdom had been placed on the Northeast Jurchen Ministry, and this year, the Liao Shengzong ordered Xiao Hui to lead the army to conquer the Uighurs. At this time, it can be said that Xia Yongbing has no worries about the future.

In the official history, Song Renzong sent troops to conquer Yuanhao. The Liao Kingdom initially watched from the sidelines and did not intend to send troops. After all, the Liao Kingdom was also restless, whether it was Jurchen or Mongolia.

But I didn't expect that the army of the Song Dynasty was too weak, and even the kid Li Yuanhao couldn't deal with it, so he took the opportunity to blackmail, so that Chongxi Zengbi was achieved without a single soldier.

On the one hand, Zhao Zhen issued an edict to question Li Deming, on the other hand, he planned to start deploying troops, preparing to recover the five states, and strangle Xixia, the white-eyed wolf.
