Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Arrogant? What kind of etiquette do you need to deal with treacherous barbarians like you?" Liu Rui was quite disdainful, and Liu Kai, who was sitting in the coach position, kept silent.

The Xixia envoy continued: "Today, His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor personally led the army here, and the 40 Great Xia soldiers are dozens of miles away. The two countries are old friends. Why should we hurt the peace? Why don't you withdraw from my Great Xia?" , Your Majesty is benevolent and wise, but let the past go!"

Liu Rui laughed loudly: "What a let the past go, you Xia Guoxing's unknown teacher, killed our people in the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor was furious, and ordered his commander to launch an army crusade, and return justice to the universe, so as to appease the wrath of the world, the wrath of humans and gods, and the thieves and chieftains How dare you speak of benevolence, virtue and sage here!"

The Xixia envoy's complexion changed slightly, and Liu Rui continued his tone like a knife: "Go back and tell Lord Xia to present a surrender form, worship my heroic spirit who died in vain in the Great Song Dynasty, and apologize to the emperor, otherwise, I will recruit the righteous teachers from all over the world to join us Cut it! Immortal!"

"You!" The envoy was furious, "I came here for peace between the two countries, but you openly insult my lord!"

"Then there is no need to talk about it!"

"you!"

At this time, Liu Kai finally spoke. He said: "The envoy is calm, don't be impatient. I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding. We also heard that you attacked me on Xihe Road in the Song Dynasty, so you sent troops here. We need an explanation."

Although Liu Kai is honest, he also knows how to delay troops.

For Song Jun, what he lacks most now is time.

Chapter 387 Xixia's Letter of Apology (Part [-])

Song Jun wanted to delay time, and Xia Jun wanted to provoke Song Jun to start a war.

This is the current thinking of both parties.

Reassured by Liu Kai, the Xixia envoy's anger subsided a little, and he said, "When will the Song army retreat?"

Liu Rui wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Kai, Liu Kai said: "This time you are the first to send troops to us, and the emperor is furious. In order not to affect the peace between the two countries in the later period, I have a proposal."

The Xixia envoy said, "It's still clear."

"It's better for Lord Xia to submit a letter of credence and apologize to the emperor. If the emperor's anger disappears, he will definitely withdraw his troops."

The Xixia envoy said: "If the Song Army really wants to retreat, why are they building Yinzhou City now?"

Liu Qi said: "This is a normal military defense. If you don't want to apologize with your letter of credence, we can only continue to fight."

"I will go back and tell my lord about Liu Shuai's proposal." The Xixia envoy didn't say much anymore, and no matter how much he said, he couldn't explain why.

When the envoy returned, he told Li Qianshun what he had seen and heard in Yinzhou City, and what Liu Qi had said.

Before Li Qianshun could speak, Anhui, who was named Wei, said, "Your Majesty, the Song people are cunning, this must be the Song people's plan to slow down the army!"

Shu Wang Li Renli said, "Not necessarily."

Li Qianshun looked at Li Renli and said, "What does King Shu say?"

Li Renli said: "I am afraid Song Guo does not want to fight with us for a long time."

"Why?"

Li Renli said: "They are just as afraid of the Kingdom of Jin as we are, and they don't want to spend their troops in the northwest."

Wei Ming Anhui retorted: "Then why did the emperor of Song Dynasty mobilize all the troops in Shaanxi to fight us?"

Li Renli said: "It was just shown to us on purpose to make us worry."

Wei Ming Anhui said: "In this way, the Song army is unwilling to fight, so we should fight the Song army all the more!"

"If we really want to fight, the State of Song will indeed mobilize all its troops to fight against us." Li Renli continued, "This is the genius of the emperor of the State of Song, which makes us unable to let go."

Li Qianshun pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Obviously, Li Ganshun was unwilling to fight with all his troops.

With all the troops, there is only one chance, and if you lose, you will be waiting for the country to perish.

Even if Da Song couldn't swallow him for a short time, Jin Guo would take the opportunity to swallow him.

This is inevitable.

Jin Guo, who is squatting in the northeast, wants to kill Xixia in his dreams.

The hinterland of Xixia is located in Houtao, which has the reputation of "fortressing the south of the Yangtze River". If Jin Guo gets it, it will completely change the situation in the northwest.

Xingqing Mansion will become the material supply point for the war between the Kingdom of Jin and the Song Dynasty, and the strategy can be directly compressed to the border of Shaanxi.

If it must be said that the more terrifying thing is that Jin Guo may get the Hexi Corridor and the largest horse farm in the world, which will increase the number of domestic war horses.

For the Jin army who is good at using cavalry, this is like a tiger with wings added.

Li Qianshun believed that at this moment, the Kingdom of Jin must be paying close attention to the battle between Song and Xia.

It hid quietly by the side, waiting for the most critical opportunity. Once the time came, Jin Guo would definitely make a move.

So although Li Qianshun now has a large number of elite teachers in his hands, he is unwilling to take this risk.

This is why he sent a small team to test yesterday.

Li Renli said: "If writing a letter of apology can make the Song army retreat, I think it's completely fine."

Small countries are like this, without the burden of idols, and everything is pragmatic.

Xixia is like this, sorry?

I, Xixia, have not only apologized in history, but also surrendered and surrendered, and played with everything.

Apologizing is really not a big deal for Xixia people.

This kind of country itself survives in the cracks. Xia Jun ran away on the battlefield if he couldn't win, and surrendered if he couldn't escape. You told him that he couldn't apologize or lose face?

That doesn't exist!

Wei Ming Anhui said: "Your Majesty, don't be fooled! This is the Song Army's plan to slow down the army. Once we write the letter of state to Tokyo, it will take more than half a month, and it will take more than half a month for the Emperor Song to reply. One month is enough for the Song Army to mobilize More resources."

Li Qianshun asked angrily: "Then what do you say now?"

"The army besieged Yinzhou!"

"Siege of Yinzhou? When will it be captured? The Song army will continue to reinforce it, so what?"

"Siege the city and fight for aid?"

"How long can you fight?" Li Qianshun asked with a dark face.

Now he has lost patience with Weiming Anhui, he thinks that this matter was instigated by Weiming Anhui, if he hadn't used soldiers against Song, he would still be lying in Xingqing Mansion to earn a lot of money from the Song Dynasty.

Now I can't make any money, and I still face the most painful choice.

How long can you play?

An Hui, who is famous for his name, couldn't answer this question, because Song Dynasty had already mobilized all the soldiers in Shaanxi.

If the situation continues to develop, it will be an unprecedented battle between the two sides, and no one can imagine the consequences.

Even if Yinzhou is besieged, if it cannot be conquered in a short time, it will definitely be a war of attrition.

Under the situation of deterrence by the Three Kingdoms, Xixia cannot afford a war of attrition.

"I have already sent a letter to Jin Guo, and Jin Guo also promised that I will send troops to the south and use troops against the Song Dynasty!"

Li Qianshun lowered his voice and said angrily: "Liu Yu was defeated in Hebei, don't think that I don't know about it, Jin Guo and Song have an armistice agreement, Jin Guochaotang is busy going west, don't think I don't know about these things. "

"In my opinion, Song and Jin may live in peace for a long time like Song and Liao in the future."

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Jin has promised to send troops!"

Li Ganshun sneered, apparently not believing Weiming Anhui's words.

Jin Guo agreed?

Even a pig knows that it is best to wait for Song Xia to bite first, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman after the bite.

Waiting for the Kingdom of Jin to send troops?

"No need to say any more, I can write a letter of apology to Tokyo."

Li Qianshun began to write letters.

"Your Majesty! This is the Song Army's plan to slow down the troops! Your Majesty must not fall for it!" Wei Ming Anhui tugged at Li Qianshun's sleeve anxiously.

Li Qianshun threw off the famous An Hui with one hand: "Prime Minister, pay attention to your identity!"

After speaking, Li Renli hurried to prepare pen and ink for Li Qianshun.

From this point of view, many people in the history books made seemingly stupid decisions at critical moments, but they were not.

Behind those decisions there must be helplessness after weighing the pros and cons.

The background of history is not coolness, but the underlying logic of social operation.

Under the shackles of the vastness of history and the pattern of the times, anyone will fall into a helpless situation and make seemingly ridiculous and generous decisions.

Later generations laughed at it, and later generations also followed it in the puzzle, making future generations laugh at it.

Li Qianshun may also know that Song Jun may be suspected of delaying time, but after weighing it, what can he do?

Fighting with Song Jun?

The country next to it is no longer the gentle Liao country, but the Jin country that is like a wolf and a tiger.

On the first day of May, Li Qianshun's letter of apology was placed on Zhao Ning's desk.

Chapter 388 The battle is imminent! (Second more)

After Zhao Ning read Li Qianshun's letter of credence, he felt that the development of this matter became more and more interesting.

Li Qianshun's actions are all proving his conjecture: fear!

Li Qianshun saw that there were many problems in Song Dynasty, so he wanted to come to grab meat.

But when he saw Zhao Guan's stud, Li Qianshun immediately became peace-loving, and he didn't mention the Huizhou army change.

Although the letter of apology is here, don't expect the Xixia people to really stop doing it.

Xixia people are very thieves, not once or twice.

Let’s just say that Li Jiqian rebelled and surrendered several times, and performed the trick of "I surrendered, I rebelled again, I surrendered again, and I rebelled again" in the northwest.

At that time, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were brushed around.

They can slash you with a knife and tell you sincerely: I surrender, but you can slash me a few more times!

So, you can't believe even a single "sentence reading" of the Xixia people.

So what to do next?

Of course, while accepting Li Ganshun's letter of apology, he continued to increase troops.

That's okay, right?

On the first day of May, in addition to politely replying to Li Qianshun about exploring a peaceful future for the well-being of the people of the two countries, Zhao Ning also sent a letter to Zhang Jun and Liu Kai: Sending more troops to me, it is necessary It's time to kill the Xixia people!

On the evening of the first day of May, Liu Xi arrived in Yinzhou City.

All the generals and counselors of the Song army are in the commander's mansion.

Liu Xi said to Liu Kai: "Liu Shuai, we have detected a lot of Xixia scouts in this area recently, and they fought the Xia army once every three days on average, ranging from three to 50 people to hundreds of people at most."

Liu Rui said: "Lord Xia claimed to have written an apology letter, but the activities of the West Thieves have become more and more frequent. They are obviously trying to test us! Liu Shuai, do you want to have a good fight with the West Thieves?"

Liu Kai said: "No! Now our army has occupied the superior positions at each pass. As long as the enemy doesn't move and I don't move, the western thieves have nothing to do!"

Liu Rui said: "I really want to have a good fight with the West Thieves!"

But Liu Xi said: "Liu Shuai, the Western Thieves are making frequent moves, and the big battle may not be far away!"

Liu Rui said: "There are three roads leading to Yinzhou. Of these three roads, which one will Xia Jun fight?"

Liu Kai suddenly asked, "Have all the new armaments been delivered?"

"Every gate is ready."

"Where is Mizhi Village?"

"The walls of Mizhi Village have also been raised, and the troops have been deployed for defense."

Liu Qi said: "The defense of the city must be fully prepared. The most likely thing for the western thieves is to attack Mizhi Village. Once Mizhi Village is hidden by the western thieves, the connection between Yinzhou City and the south will be cut off. The western thieves will attack again. Blocking the northward movement of grain and grass, Yinzhou will become an isolated city!"

"Don't worry Liu Shuai, two cities have been built around Mizhi Village!"

In the evening of the same day, Fei Tingrong, the commander of the Xixia Left Army, went to the camp of the Wei name Anhui.

"At the end of the day, I will see the Prime Minister!"

"General Fei Ting, you don't need to be too polite!" Wei Ming Anhui was gentle.

Fei Tingrongju said: "Minister, the right army is ready."
