I became the son of Renzong

"As for Annan and Dali, there's no need to mention it. Whether it's a mining city located in Dali, or the civil strife that Guochao has rectified for Dali, in Dali, the merchants of Guochao have always been superior."

"Annan, because of the two Southern Expeditions, he is even more respectful to Guochao! Of course, Shiyi Temple is fair in this respect, and he also persuades Guochao's merchants not to be arrogant!"

This... How should I put it, Zhao Xi forgot to understand the strength comparison from this aspect.

"Properly warn merchants, don't go too far!"

what else?Even Zhao Xi didn't believe in the so-called justice.

But, Guochao is really powerful?

Chapter 698 I want to destroy Xixia

The process of receiving the envoy also confirmed what Fu Bi said.

Beiliao, Dali, and Annan, none of the envoys sent by these three families requested an audience.

In other words, they have already put themselves in the position of a weak person psychologically, thinking that seeing His Majesty the Emperor of Song Dynasty is an excessive request.

It seems that Guochao is indeed strong, but it's just that I can't feel it when I'm in it.

That's right, it's been a long time since I left the palace, and I'm really out of touch with reality.

However, the envoys of Xixia insisted on asking for an audience.

Seeing the number of Chen soldiers on the border, any fool could see that this was not defense, but war.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, since the reign of Zhenghe, I dare not show any disrespect to the Song Dynasty. On His Majesty's birthday, I am afraid that the gifts will not be satisfactory. During the Song Festival, I dare not be unsatisfactory in singing and dancing. Although it is not included, it is always Minister to the Song Dynasty."

"The Central Plains was educated by the sages, and the Great Xia was deeply influenced. Please read the classics, respect the teachings, and emphasize the etiquette. Everything is done from the Song Dynasty, and no one dares to disobey the Song Dynasty. I thought the border was peaceful and the two countries lived in peace. From then on, we respect each other as guests. It will cause trouble to the people again, and the lives of people will be ruined."

"But now, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty at the border, making war imminent. May I ask His Majesty the Emperor of Song Dynasty, what does this mean? Although my Great Xia is weak, there are tens of thousands of warriors who control strings, and they are never afraid of war. Have you ever prepared for the consequences of going to war?"

In the previous call, Zhao Xi really wanted to admire him.It's almost reasonable to say that he, the king, is the culprit who makes people miserable.It's a pity that I really shouldn't add the next few sentences.

Now that you have decided to give in, you can honestly say some sincere words, why do you have to be strong?The last few threatening words just messed up the little atmosphere created earlier.

It is of course impossible to stop this war by persuading the soft, but at least it is enough to make everyone present feel a little bit sympathetic.What is it?The pity that was slightly raised at first was completely disgusted by the last few words.

Of course Zhao Xi wouldn't argue about anything, there's no need to waste words.The reason for the interview was just the so-called etiquette of diplomatic relations, Zhao Xi was not prepared to speak at all, and just regarded it as watching a show.

"From the envoy's words, the envoy must be considered a scholar?"

It was a bit cold, everyone wanted to watch the show, but no one said anything.It's a bit unreasonable.Therefore, Fu Bi took up the conversation.

"Exactly, I have read classics for a few years before I was born, so I know the profound meaning of sages and kings."

"Oh, then you should also know Jin Ou Wu Que, right? Let's not talk about this for now, you must also know the Xiazhou Jiedushi of the Song Dynasty? If you are not familiar with it, let me tell you!"

"Just in the seventh year of Taiping Xingguo, Li Jipeng personally led his people to Beijing to meet Emperor Song, and voluntarily donated the eight counties of Yin, Xia, Sui, and You. I inherited it from Taizu Xu Zhi and named him Jiedushi next week. That is From then on, the entire Yinxia area belongs to the territory of the Song Dynasty."

"Then, do you know what the Li family did? I'm not familiar with it, so I'll tell you again! In the second year of Yongxi, Li Jiqian and his brother Li Jichong lured and killed Song general Cao Guangshi, occupied Yinzhou, and broke Huizhou; Please surrender" and was named the King of Xia by the Khitan people. In the second year of Zhidao, Li Jiqian intercepted 40 grain and grass from the Great Song Dynasty, and sent out an army to surround Lingwu City..."

"At this time, what kind of sages and sages are you talking about with me in the Song Dynasty, and what are you talking about? Even so, our court has not pursued the crime of disrespect. Pity Xixia's bitter cold, and life is not easy. Xia, Sui, Yin, You, Jing The five prefectures were all enfeoffed by the Li family..."

These are all injuries, these are all pains, and they are all humiliations that are hard to let go of in the hearts of the entire Great Song Dynasty.What Fu Bi said was a little agitated, and he needed to calm down.

At this time, the entire cabinet ministers were depressed.It can be said that their growth history is the history of Song's humiliation by Xixia.

"What did Mrs. Li do again? Don't you know? Let me tell you! In the tenth year of Tiansheng, Li Yuanhao succeeded the Duke of Xia, and he became malicious. First of all, he abandoned the surname bestowed by the Central Plains Dynasty. Then, after a new year, he built a palace. , set up civil and military squads, stipulated official and civilian clothing, fixed military system, established military names, and issued a bald order. How dare you say anything without disobedience? How dare you mention everything respectfully?"

"Fu Xiang, don't get excited..."

I'm really excited, I'm almost 70 years old, I really can't have too violent mood swings.Zhao Xi didn't expect Fu Bi's reaction to be so strong.Quickly speak out to persuade.

For a while, the entire Palace of Qinzheng was a little depressed.Cabinet ministers, no one does not know this period of history, and it was from then on that Song Dynasty was humiliated by Xixia again and again.

To say that the Yanyun sixteen prefectures occupied by the Northern Liao Dynasty were out of a defensive mentality, but towards Xixia and the officials and workers of the entire Song Dynasty, there was almost a sense of shame.

In fact, the Northern Liao Dynasty was an earlier dynasty than the Song Dynasty. The reason for the so-called conquest was also the reason why the Kingdom Dynasty first provoked it for the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. In addition, the Tanyuan Alliance had maintained peace for a hundred years. In other words, it is far inferior to the hatred for Xixia.

This is also the reason why Guochao set the target of the first battle as Xixia after its strength soared.

"How can you say that the Song Dynasty is determined to start a war?"

This grandson is really strong enough, I really don't know how Xixia Shi looked at the situation, and actually sent such an unknown thing.

"I remember your Majesty Song once said: You can start a war, and I have the final say on when it ends. I will present this sentence to you Song Kingdom on behalf of Emperor Daxia!"

Hey, Zhao Xi really wants to say something: Are you a funny guy sent by a monkey?This grandson is too good at playing.

"You know, I really want to chop off your head because of your virtue. I just want to think about not wanting to pollute the palace of my Great Song Dynasty and ruin my etiquette in the Great Song Dynasty. I decided to let you go back temporarily... "..."

"Letting you go back is also to let you know your so-called Great Xia Emperor. I really want to conquer Xia, and I need you to clearly inform those people that this time is not a simple conquest. I want to wipe out the so-called Great summer!"

After the envoys of the Western Xia Dynasty were dragged out, the atmosphere in the Hall of Qinzheng was still a bit dull, and the cabinet members still couldn't get out of the situation of recalling humiliation for a while.

Before the insult is about to be washed away, and when the humiliation is about to be avenged, such memories may have a different taste.

"Get ready to go to war... Don't wait, you don't need to continue to wait for the opportunity for the partial division to advance. Inform Wang Shao, after the frontal battlefield begins, the partial division can choose its own fighter and allow them to act cheaply."

Originally, when the partial division was ready to march, they would make foolproof preparations with a pincer attack.But now, the result of Xixia's dispatch of envoys is that war will come at any time.

This is equivalent to declaring war, so there is no need to delay any longer.

Chapter 699 This plan is available

In fact, the deployment of Xixia on the frontal battlefield had already started last year, and it was basically in place a year ago, but it was scattered and not assembled.

The reason why they did not gather for a long time, nor did they start to attack, was because they were waiting for the opportunity for the partial division to advance.

It takes three years and two winters for the channel to be opened and even controlled.In the winter of the first year, it was only the nesting of the advance team, and no winter exploration was carried out, let alone the attempt to transport troops in winter.

Last year, that is, the first full winter of the snow boat production, the channel has already had a certain number of garrisons, and there has been a snow boat transportation attempt on the entire channel.

The result is very gratifying. Except for the time when the white snow is raging, at other times, even if there is a thick accumulation of snow, it will not affect the delivery of materials and soldiers.The only difficulty is Dangjin Mountain.

When the slope of Jinshan Mountain is difficult to cross, even a mastiff pulls a sled.This is the reason why the imperial court has not launched a war after all preparations have been made after the Great Court Meeting... It is waiting for the snow on the top of Dangjin Mountain to melt.

Zhao Xi didn't want the casualties of the partial division to be too large. The established strategy was to focus on chariots and gunpowder, from the sandbar all the way to the east, and push forward in a devastating manner to cooperate with the frontal attack.

Now it seems that there needs to be a change......

"Marshal, let the last general try it!"

After the notice from the imperial court came to the channel headquarters, this was not the first time someone asked for a fight, and this Wang Shunchen even did this once a day.

Wang Shao was also in a hurry.He knows the role of partial teachers, and he also knows the characters of those generals on the frontal battlefield.The kind is aggressive, Gao Zunyu is eager for success, Di Qing repays his favor, and Guo Kui is the same.
