After all, the Han court's arguments about the Northern Expedition could not be concealed from the clear-eyed people, but most of the clear-eyed people in the Han court who took care of the overall situation did not say anything, and those who did not know what to do or had ill intentions were suppressed by the general public opinion environment.

However, this is true at home, but not abroad. Zong Bi and Zhao Gou were already suspicious when they saw Han Ting's actions, and Zong Han in the clouds was even more insightful. Di Gu Nai proposed to attack immediately, but Zong Han endured, he thought that this was indeed a golden opportunity, but such a good opportunity had to be grasped well, if he did not move, he would be killed!

It's just that now the strength of the Han is too strong, even if Zhiyan rushes north, Xiao Tienu is trapped, and the forces left in the Central Plains also have the possibility of carrying the countries to attack at the same time.

Gao Qingyi advised: "Now that Zheyan is menacing, not only the Jurchen is forced by it, but even the Western Xia and Southern Song Dynasty are worried that they will be annexed by him sooner or later." Although the six princes of Henan are suspected of trespassing, they are the same enemy with us after all. The current plan, Mo Ruoxi Lianxia people, Nanlian Six Kings and Zhao family, after the agreement is completed, the world will be divided equally. ”

As far as the current situation is concerned, this is naturally the best policy, and Zong Han immediately sent someone to pretend to be a businessman in order to exchange news with Zong Bi. Zong Han was not sure whether the envoys to the south could successfully cross the Han land and enter Henan, but the Western Xia side was territorially connected, so Zong Han specially sent Gao Qing as an envoy and set off to Zhongxingfu, the capital of Western Xia.

For the situation of the Han army in Mobei, the Western Xia monarchs and ministers also heard about it, and when they heard that Gao Qing was coming, they had already roughly guessed what he was going to do before they negotiated.

At this time, the Western Xia Kingdom was no longer the Western Xia Kingdom when Li Yuanhao founded the country, especially after Qianshun succeeded to the throne, it was both a Buddha and a Confucian, economically encouraging agriculture and building water conservancy, politically dividing the kings, consolidating the political power, and it seemed to be a fairly civilized country. Although Qianshun has begun to worship literature and suppress martial arts, the martial arts of the previous dynasty are especially powerful, and there are still many good generals in the army, so in the past few decades, they have been able to maneuver between the Liao, Song, Jin, and Han dynasties and maintain their infall. However, after the rise of the Han Dynasty, Western Xia felt a huge threat. The power of the Han court was well felt even by the Uighur kings in the Tianshan Mountains, let alone the Western Xia. Especially after the destruction of the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the Han family has become the new overlord of the world, and has become the consensus of all countries.

Qianshun was not a monarch with great ambitions to annex the world, and he was relatively self-aware, he knew that if the current situation continued, Western Xia would not be able to provoke the Han Dynasty. But the biggest question in front of him now is: even if he doesn't provoke the Han, when the Han cleans up Zong Han, solves Zong Bi, and pacifies Mobei, will he still allow Western Xia to exist?

In considering this issue, the Xia people were quick to link the attitude of the Han court with the attitude of the old Song dynasty. From the founding weather, the monarch's courage and the rise of the situation and many other aspects, the Han Dynasty is undoubtedly much tougher than the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty can not win the Khitan in the north, and after stabilizing it, it also seeks to open up Ganlong, and even Zhao Ji and other kings of the last days do not forget to use troops against the Western Xia for many years, it is conceivable that with the strength of Zheyan Chong, even Mobei will not let go, let alone Ganlong? Therefore, the Western Xia monarchs and generals quickly reached a consensus: once the Han Dynasty pacified Mobei and destroyed Yunzhong, the next step would be the turn of Western Xia!

After this consensus was reached, the next consideration was: whether the Western Xia should strictly defend and seek stubborn resistance, or should they take the initiative to attack and take advantage of the fact that Zhiyan rushed north to enter the Central Plains. On this issue, the generals of Western Xia were divided into two factions. Among them, Pu Wang Wei Ming Renzhong did not approve of taking the initiative, while Jin Wang Wei Ming Chage advocated taking the initiative.

After Liu Qi and Chong Yansong moved westward, Shaanxi and Qinfeng began to carry out military and political reforms. In terms of the army, Liu Qi and Chong Yansong respectively rectified the military discipline and military discipline in the Song and Xia borders. Liu Qi and Yansong are all from Shaanxi, and they can love nurses and soldiers, and in the eyes of the Qin people, they are both friendly and powerful, and the soldiers and generals under their command are willing to work for them. Therefore, after the reform of the Shaanxi army, on the one hand, it retained the strong combat effectiveness of the Western soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty, on the other hand, it got rid of the elbow of the Song court center, and the tactical autonomy of the frontier generals was promoted to a level that was unimaginable under the Northern Song Dynasty.

The success of the military reform in the northwest not only ensured the economic development of the Weihe River valley and the recuperation of the people's livelihood, but also supported the smooth progress of Shaanxi's political reform in recent years. This initial political reform was carried out by Deng Su, who was familiar with both the old and new operating systems of the Han Dynasty, and Guo Hao, who was familiar with the local situation in Shaanxi, with reference to the model of Hedong, to abolish a series of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the late Northern Song Dynasty. After the East China Sea was connected with the Qin and Jin Dynasties, the central government of Tanggu only grasped the appointment of personnel and the unification of the judiciary, and as for the soldiers and finance, they still gave the northwest considerable autonomy.

Wei Ming Renzhong saw very clearly that in the past year, the eastern part of the Han Empire has not entered Hexi, but the local governments and frontier guards of Shaanxi and Qinfeng have also realized the use of Qin people's money to raise the Qin people's soldiers, and at the same time in the face of the threat of the Western Xia and Southern Song Dynasty, the economy of the Wei River is more prosperous because of the smooth trade routes, and the morale of the Northwest Han army is also like a rainbow, so he thinks that the southern invasion will inevitably fail, and said to the Xia master: "Qin was formerly known as Tianfu, Qin and Han were unified because of it, and Sui and Tang were greatly prosperous because of it, Although I am tired today, and my manpower and material resources are less than two or three compared to the Han and Tang Dynasties, the disadvantages of the Song Dynasty are gone, and Qinchuan is enough to be more than enough for me! And in the past few years, the Han court has won the hearts of the people here, Liu Qi in Xia Bian is a famous general, Chang'an Yu Qi is also old, the soldiers and the people are willing to die for it, and regard me as an enemy. In case Han Ting frees up his hand and uses eastern troops to help, the southern invasion will inevitably turn into a fire! ”

Regarding these problems mentioned by Wei Ming Renzhong, Wei Ming Chage, who advocates taking the initiative, is not unseen, on the contrary, he has almost the same opinion as Wei Ming Renzhong on this point, but he has come to a completely different conclusion: "Since King Pu also knows that the Han people are powerful, why do you want us to wait for death?" I heard that the taxes of Qin are less than one-tenth of all the taxes of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Qi is only one of the top ten generals of the Han army, and there are five marshals above the top ten generals. Now that Han Ting has less than one percent of the wealth, the strength of a general can be equal to me, and in the future, when Zhe Yanchong pacifies Mobei and destroys Yunzhong, how can we protect ourselves at that time? ”

Wei Mingren said: "The offensive and defensive trends are different. To attack, the whole army of Western Xia may not be able to defeat Liu Qi alone, and if it is used to defend, then Zhiyan will rush thousands of miles away, and it will not be an easy task to destroy my Western Xia. ”

Brother Wei Mingcha sneered: "It may not be easy, but if he really mixes the south and the north, it will only be a matter of time before my Western Xia country dies." ”

Wei Mingren said loyally: "If you attack in vain, I'm afraid that my Western Xia will be destroyed in a few years!" ”

Brother Wei Mingcha said loudly: "It's better to let go than sit still!" ”

Renzhong said: "Zhe Yanchong's expedition to Mobei may not be victorious. It's better to see how Zhe Yanchong wins or loses in Mobei. If it wins, then I will take the small things as big, such as the story of the Liao and Song dynasties; If it fails, make a decision to advance or retreat. ”

Brother Wei Ming Cha said: "Mobei is a plate of scattered sand, Xiao Tienu may have been trapped, but it has not yet been destroyed, Zhi Yanchong will be followed by a large army, and the chance of victory is quite large." If we wait for him to return south in victory, then I will wait for a small matter to be a big thing, and I am afraid he will not allow it. ”

Renzhong and Brother Cha are both literate and martial, and at the same time they are relied on by Qianshun, and he also thinks that the analysis of the two generals is reasonable, and he can't make a decision for a while, so Shu Wang Wei said with a name of benevolence: "It's better to invite that Gaoqing descendant to the palace, see what he has to say, and then make plans." ”
