Gao Huaide, Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others really can't help the Liao people
In the fifth year of Emperor Taizong’s Taiping rejuvenation, the Liao people took advantage of the defeat of Emperor Emperor Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty in the first Northern Expedition.
One hundred thousand Liao army knocked on Yanmen.
Pan Mei and Yang Ye led thousands of people and defeated the 100,000 army of Liao people. They killed their Jiedu envoys, horses, and Xiao Du Li, and captured Li Zhongguo, all commanders of the horse infantry army, and received many armors and horses.
Known as the battle of Yanmen Pass in history, it is also the battle of Yang Ye's fame.
Pan Mei and Yang Ye defeated the 100,000 Liao army with thousands of people.
Gao Huaide, Cao Bin and others are only stronger than him, but how could they not be able to beat the Liao people
In the final analysis, it is still involuntary.
Xia An told Li Yuanhao this, he was telling Li Yuanhao that Da Song's soldier was far from being bullied as Li Yuanhao saw.
The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were defeated in the foreign war, not because they were not strong enough, but because they could not be the master.
After hearing Xia An's words, Li Yuanhao frowned and did not speak.
Xia An continued: "Zhao Zhen is different from his grandfather Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Zhen dared to delegate power to his generals. Whether it was Li Zhaoliang and Zhu Neng who fought in Hexi before, or Cao Wei and others are now in the Yanyun land of Liao. Combat.
Zhao Zhen never intervened in military affairs.
Song State is not as weak as we have seen, otherwise he would not be able to firmly occupy the rich place in the Central Plains.
The reason why Song Guobing lost the battle was not because they were not strong enough, but because they were shackled.
Now the shackles are gradually being opened.
Their power was gradually released.
Hundreds of thousands of Song troops without restraint invaded Da Xia, what would happen to Da Xia, no official statement was required.
So don't go astray and offend the Song State. If they really let go of their hands and feet and fight us Daxia desperately, we will definitely lose. "
Li Yuanhao had believed Xia An's words 80% in his heart, but he was unwilling to show weakness and said, "Song Kingdom will become the land of my great summer sooner or later. How can I be afraid of them."
"Cough..."
Li Deming, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Xia An is reasonable..."
Li Deming also has a temper. It's not difficult to see from the fact that he roared in the hall just now.
But he will never substitute his temper into government affairs.
Because he knows that anger will affect his decision.
He is not a dead man with a hard mouth. One says one, and the other says two.
Li Yuanhao was dissatisfied and prepared to speak, but Li Deming did not give him a chance to speak.
Li Deming looked at Xia Wei.
Xia Wei proposed to get rid of Kou Ji, so he must have a way to get rid of Kou Ji without causing trouble.
Xia Yun felt Li Deming's gaze, and immediately understood Li Deming's thoughts.
Xia Wei slowly said, "The Liao people captured by the Song State defected, and it was a disaster for me in Daxia. They must be trying to accumulate strength and avenge Kou Ji. If they take off Kou Ji's head and return to Liao, they might be able to return to Liao. Make up for it.
I remember that there are many sharpshooters among the Liao people, who are known to be able to penetrate Yang with a hundred steps.
If they lie in ambush on Kou Ji's side and give Kou Ji an arrow when Kou Ji emerges, they will definitely kill Kou Ji's life. "
Li Deming squinted slightly when he heard Xia Wei's words.
Li Yuanhao frowned and said, "Isn't this an assassination?"
People in high positions don't like the way of assassination.
Most high-ranking people who like the way of assassination also die under the assassination.
As the prince of Xixia, Li Yuanhao naturally didn't like assassination.
Xia Yu heard Li Yuanhao's words, glanced at Li Yuanhao, and said faintly: "I didn't dare to say whether it was an assassination. After all, it was the Liao people who wanted Kou Ji's life, and it has nothing to do with us."
Li Yuanhao was about to speak.
Li Deming resolutely said: "Okay, don't discuss this matter. At the moment, I am Daxia, and I am not capable of starting a war with Song State, so I can only get aggrieved between Song and Liao.
Kou Ji needs an explanation, so I will give him an explanation.
The order was passed down and ordered all the soldiers and horses in our Daxia area to do everything possible to destroy the Liao people who were in trouble in my Daxia area.
At the same time, an order was passed to the left-wing valiant army division in Xiazhou, and the Jianing army division in Baichicheng, to keep the soldiers and horses led by Kou Ji in the south of Anqingze and east of Xiazhou.
My Daxia's territory near Xiazhou must not be occupied by others. "
"Hey..."
The Xixia civil and military in the palace, Qi Qiqili.
Li Deming waved his hand and said, "It's all gone... Mr. Xia stayed..."
Xixia Wenwu left the palace.
Only Li Deming and Xia Wei were left in the palace.
The two discussed in the palace secret for a while.
Xia Yu left the palace and appeared outside the Xixia Palace.
As soon as Xia Wei left the Xixia Palace, he saw Xia An standing beside his carriage waiting for him.
Xia An saw Xia Wei, gritted his teeth and said, "Father, do you really want the Xixia people to assassinate Kou Ji?"
Xia Wei stared, gave Xia An a vicious look, and after looking around to confirm that no one was paying attention, he reprimanded: "How many times have I told you that here, I am not your father, I am just your husband." "
Xia An gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Xia... Sir, do you really want the Xixia people to assassinate Kou Ji?"
Xia Wei stared at Xia An coldly, "So what? What if you don't? Are you reluctant to die for Kou Ji? Don't forget that the reason why our father and son ended up in the field today is all thanks to Kou Ji.
Your brother, your mother, and my Xia family members all died because of Kou Ji.
If I hadn't sent you to study in the Northwest when you were successful in your studies, I am afraid you would not escape death.
We have a bloody feud with Kou Ji, so Kou Ji must die. "
Xia An said solemnly: "Xia... Sir, you know that the relationship between Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen is unusual. If Kou Ji dies, Zhao Zhen will surely transfer his anger to Xi Xia, regardless of how clean you pick Xi Xia, Zhao Zhen will not Let Xixia go.
Xixia is likely to perish because of this.
If Xixia is gone, how will our father and son deal with each other? "
Xia Yun pulled Xia An into the carriage. After sitting down, he ordered the servant to move the carriage. After the carriage began to move, Xia Yun said to Xia An: "Xixia is not dead, what does it have to do with our father and son. We father and son? The purpose is revenge, not to help Xixia rejuvenate the country."
Xia An stared at Xia Wei in disbelief.
Xia Wei coldly snorted: "You wouldn't be naive to think that Xixia's power can defeat Da Song, right?"
Xia An stared at Xia Wei and questioned: "Why not?"
Xia Wei said coldly: "Because Xixia has no successors."
Xia An couldn't believe it.
Xia Yu said solemnly: "Li Deming definitely has the capital of the hero, Xixia is in his hands, and he continues to grow. He also knows how to have both sides, and continue to seek benefits from the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom to make Xixia grow.
But Li Yuanhao is not the hero.
Li Yuanhao has some talents in leading troops.
But in terms of governance, naive makes people laugh. "
Xia Wei sneered: "A few days ago, I taught Li Yuanhao to use the border markets between Song and Xia to make profits and grow secretly. Guess what he said?"
Xia An was silent.
Xia Wei sneered and said: "He actually said that when he becomes the lord of Xixia, he will cut off all communications with Song Dynasty and close all border markets."
Xia An looked astonished.
Longevity horses appeared in all the poor in Xixia, and they had reached the point where they were extremely vicious.
Li Yuanhao didn't want to open source, but he still wanted to cut his own money.
Li Yuanhao's move was naive, obviously stupid.
The Xixia region is not small, but most of the places are deserts, and most of the places where there is production are also occupied by the Song Dynasty.
Nowadays, a large part of Xixia's income is obtained through bilateral trade with Dasong.
If Xixia broke the bilateral trade with Song Dynasty.
Xixia's fiscal revenue will drop by as much as 50%.
At that time, let alone the longevity horse, the longevity armor and weapons may appear.
Xia Yu continued: "He looks down on the Han people, and he still respects the old party members. Do you think he can do things and make things happen?"
Xia An had a sullen face and did not speak.
He had already seen some of Xixia's future through Xia Yu's words.
Some of Li Yuanhao's remarks and some methods are really stupid to make people laugh.
Restore the old system of party members
Then Li Jiqian and Li Deming, who have been draining the flow for many years, will quickly lose the talents reserved for Xixia.
Li Deming has accumulated many years of cultural heritage for Xixia, and it will also be lost quickly.
Without talents, there is no cultural heritage.
Xixia relies on bravery to dominate the ground, it is easy.
But wanting to win the world by virtue of bravery is a joke.
Conquering the Great Song Dynasty is even more a joke on a joke.
Liao Kingdom can have today's prosperity, is it really due to bravery
The Liao Kingdom can be prosperous today, thanks to Xiao Yanyan, a female generation, who greatly promoted the Han system in the Liao Kingdom, vigorously promoted the Han people, and vigorously introduced Han talents, which laid a solid foundation for the Liao emperor Yelu Longxu.
The Liao emperor Yelu Longxu thrived year after year, and has not exhausted the money and wealth of the Liao State, let alone disintegrating the Liao State, because of the merits of the Han officials recruited by the Liao State.
It was those Han officials who were constantly administering localities for the Liao Kingdom, collecting taxes for the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu, and helping the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu to accumulate the money needed for the war.
If it weren't for that group of Han officials.
Liao Guo can be strong for a hundred years
joke.
If it were not for that group of Han officials, the Liao State would probably not even be able to govern Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.
The Liao people once hit Kaifeng Mansion, but did not choose to govern. Instead, they supported an emperor to help them govern. Why
It was because they knew that they were not well governed, so they chose to support an emperor.
It can be said that without the help of the Han people, it is a delusion to plot and govern the Central Plains.
Li Yuanhao's thoughts and actions were obviously going downhill, and at the same time still delusional.
Seeing that Xia An still didn't speak, Xia Wei said indifferently: "The other princes of Xixia are worse than Li Yuanhao. Therefore, it is impossible for Xixia to conquer the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, our father and son don't have to go all out to help Xixia plan.
We only need to take revenge on Xixia's power. "
Xia An clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "But we can't go back to Song Dynasty. If Xixia assassinated Kou Ji, it would arouse Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun's anger, I'm afraid there is danger of destruction.
Xixia naturally can't stay, where can we go? "
Xia An looked at Xia Wei and asked, "Are you going to Liao Country?"
Xia Wei shook his head slightly, "The Liao emperor is old, and the prince of Liao is young. For a period of time from now on, the Liao Kingdom will probably fall under the control of the Khitan Babu. Although the Liao Kingdom is prosperous and sinicized, the nobles of the Qidan Babu , Still look down on the Han people.
Once the power of the Liao Kingdom fell into the hands of the Khitan Babu people, the Han people in the Liao Dynasty might not be easy to mess with.
So we don't go to Liao. "
Xia An said solemnly: "If we don't go to Liao, where else can we go?"
Xia Wei looked at Xia An and laughed in a low voice: "Yes... there is a place that is very suitable for our father and son to go."
Xia An was taken aback for a moment, then he pondered for a while, then looked at Xia Wei and said, "Qingtang?!"
Xia Wei nodded slowly, "Yes, Qingtang... Qingtang Zanpu Cape Siluo is a hero who does not lose to Li Deming. He is still young and he does not have a son yet. As long as our father and son go to Qingtang, we will help them. He waited until his son was born, and then devoted himself to teaching his son.
Qingtang will definitely continue to grow.
Will definitely miss that piece of fat on the Song Dynasty. "
Xia Yuxu continued babbling: "More importantly, Qingtang now has a good relationship with the Song Dynasty and has gained a lot of benefits from the Song Dynasty. As long as Qingtang pays a higher price, he will definitely get it from the Song Dynasty. firearm.
With firearms, Qingtang has the qualifications to dominate.
With firearms, Qingtang has the qualifications to challenge Da Song. "
Xia An's brows were frowned into the word Sichuan, and his face was very gloomy.
Xia Yun's thoughts made him feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Xia An didn't speak any more, Xia Wei didn't say anything.
The carriage moved slowly all the way until it reached a street crossing.
Xia An got off Xia Wei's carriage and left in a hurry.
Inside the Xixia Palace.
After Xia Wei left, Li Deming summoned Li Yuanhao.
As soon as Li Yuanhao arrived, he couldn't wait to ask Li Deming.
"Father, are you really planning to assassinate Kou Ji?"
Li Deming nodded slowly.
Li Yuanhao frowned and said, "Xia Yuan's plan can really make Da Xia separate from this matter?"
Li Deming slowly shook his head and said, "Although I have never been to Bianjing City, I also know the friendship between Kou Ji and those powerful and powerful in Bianjing City, and I also know the friendship between Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen.
Once Kou Ji is assassinated and killed, even if Daxia tried my best to separate the relationship, Zhao Zhen would anger us.
Kou Zhun, that old man, is very fond of his cheap grandson.
He will desperately force the Song court to send troops.
The court of Song Dynasty will also find us to settle accounts. "
Li Yuanhao was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "Father is there a way to defeat Song Kingdom?"
Li Deming still shook his head, "No..."
"That..."
"But I have a way to calm the anger of the Song people. Xia Yu, Xia Anqi and his son are my tools to calm the anger of the Song people. The two of them are imprisoned in Song State, and they have blood and blood feuds with Kou Ji. Their father and son are with me Hidden in the territory of Daxia, pretending to be a Liao to ambush Kou Ji, I can't stop it.
As long as I surrendered the culprit, Song State would not go all out even if he wanted to revitalize me.
Those civil and military ministers in the Song Dynasty court were even less likely to watch Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun. In order to avenge one person, hundreds of thousands of people were involved in the war. "
Li Yuanhao stared at Li Deming in a daze, "Xia Yuhai knows that it is Xia Yuan, but who is Xia Anqi?"
Li Deming stared at Li Yuanhao and said faintly: "I will not hide it from you until now. Xia Yuan is the imprison Xia Yu of the Song State, and Xia An is the son of Xia Yu, Xia Anqi.
Li Yuanhao opened his mouth in astonishment, "Are they father and son?"
Li Deming slowly nodded, "Although Xia Yu tried his best to conceal him, how could I not send someone to investigate him for such an important person? As early as when Xia Yu was sitting on the border of Daxia, I sent someone to investigate him. He knows how many sons he has and a portrait of each of his sons.
Although Xia Yun tried to hide his son after arriving in Daxia, he still couldn't hide it from me. "
Li Yuanhao pursed his lips, and asked, "Father, don't you say that Xia Wei is so talented and value him very much? Why push him out to help me block Da Xia?"
Li Deming said indifferently: "I value him not fake, and I want to reuse him. But after their father and son arrived in Daxia, they not only didn't help Daxia for any benefit, on the contrary, Daxia lost ground again and again.
In this way, I don't want to keep them.
Haoer, you have to remember.
As long as you are in a high position, there are talents for you to use.
There is no need to put everything on him just because he values a person.
We can reuse talents, but talents can't really help my Daxia for benefits, and he will lose his due value.
We don't have so much time to identify talents, so we can only decide whether to keep them based on the results of their work. "
