Chapter 305: The Generals of Western Xia (II)
In the past 100 years, the international etiquette of the countries in the Greater China Circle has basically formed a complex system that can be followed by the core covenant of the "Yuanyuan Alliance". In the alliance of Lanyuan, Song and Liao, the two great powers, Song and Liao, are brothers, Liao is brothers, and Empress Dowager Xiao is uncle, which can be regarded as evenly matched. Outside of the Song and Liao, the Western Xia was the key to a check and balance in the northwest, the Song and Xia were wars and peace, and the Liaoxia was an uncle-nephew relationship - the Liao lord was the uncle, and the Xia lord was the nephew. As for Goryeo and Dali, they were vassals to Liao and Song respectively, and their status was much lower than that of Western Xia. Not long after the split of Annam, the Song court did not recognize its independent status, but the matter in the north was serious and could not be taken into account for a while and was put on hold. Japan is still outside this system and is arrogant and entertaining itself overseas.
Under this system, the Liao envoy sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, using the gift of the enemy country, sending an envoy to Goryeo, and the envoy to the king of Goryeo, and sending an envoy to the Western Xia, then the Liao envoy held the courtier's courtier, and was in a lower position, and the Xia lord was established and accepted. Jin Cheng Liao Tong, originally this system, in the heyday of Wu Qimai, had oppressed the Western Xia to Qianshun as a minister, but now Zong Han in the clouds, the army may be able to compete with the Western Xia, but the situation is cramped, so Zong Han no longer dares to ask the Western Xia to be a minister, but just to be commensurate with the Qianshun brothers. Therefore, this time Gao Qing's descendants came, Wei Mingrenli originally wanted Gao Qing's descendants to be ministers on behalf of Zong Han, but Gao Qing's descendants refused to die, and Wei Mingrenli couldn't, so he only promised that Lord Xia would be summoned in the side hall.
Gao Qingyi arrived in the side hall, performed the gift of the envoy of the brother country to see the king, and replied to the Lord of Xia on behalf of the elder brother, and then asked Gao Qingyi what he was doing here.
Gao Qingyi said: "I am specially ordered by Emperor Dajin to save the lives of millions of soldiers and civilians in Western Xia!" ”
Brother Wei Ming Cha sneered: "I'm afraid that I will send troops in Western Xia to save the life of your Marshal Dajindu." When he said this, he still refused to admit that Zong Han was the emperor's honor.
Gao Qingyi knew the purpose of this coming, and knew that Zong Han was indeed in a very bad situation now, so he didn't dwell on this detail, and said: "I still have 300,000 elite soldiers in the cloud who are enough to dominate the world, and the current trap is only temporary, and the future dragon soars for nine days, and it is not known." ”
Brother Wei Mingcha said lightly: "In addition to the 300,000 army in the clouds, I don't know if there are 300,000 soldiers?" Among the people, there are 100,000 peasants who plough the land! If not, please advise Marshal Du after your envoy returns, it is better to let the 300,000 troops disarm and return to the field as soon as possible. I heard that now Shi Kang is in Juyong Pass, Quduan is in the north of Jin, and he is fighting with the idea of garrisoning, and he did not attack, and Marshal Du left 108,000 military horses, which is enough to defend the land. ”
Gao Qingyi sneered: "King Jin knows a lot about the Central Plains. In that case, let's not go around in circles! Yes, my Dajin is indeed in danger of survival at the moment, but now that Zheyan is like a violent Qin, Dajin and Western Xia are already dependent on each other. Once Yunzhong was merged by Zheyan Chong, King Jin thought that Western Xia could still exist alone? ”
Wei Mingren Zhong said: "At that time, the Great Song Dynasty covered the two rivers of the Central Plains, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Jiangnan Mountains, and the Han land was almost unified, and I couldn't help Xixia. Now the southeast still belongs to the Zhao family, and half of the land north of Zheyanchong may not be able to annex my Great Xia. Although he was on one side of the list during the internal meeting, he was fighting hand in hand in the face of Gao Qingyi.
Gao Qingyi glanced at Wei Ming Renzhong, and saluted: "This is the Duke of Pu Guo, who is known as the virtuous minister of Western Xia, right?" Gao Qing's descendants came from afar, and they have always been received by Shu Guogong, but they have not had the opportunity to meet Pu Guogong for a while. ”
Western Xia was named the "king" of the Liao, Song, Jinhan and Han dynasties outside the country, but he claimed to be the emperor in the territory, so the brothers of Wei Ming Renzhong and Wei Ming Renli could be named King Pu and King Shu, at this time the Xia people refused to recognize Zong Han as the emperor, so Gao Qingyi only recognized Qianshun as a king, and King Pu and King Shu naturally wanted to descend to the first rank and call the country. Wei Mingrenzhong is profoundly knowledgeable and elegant, and he snorted and did not attack. Suddenly remembered that just now Gao Qingyi called Brother Wei Mingcha used "King of Jin", and said in his heart: "This Gao Qingyi, he is a slip of the tongue, or is he well-informed, and he has heard about the proposition of my Western Xia general on this major matter, so there are praises and disparities between the words, and the intention is to win over and divide?" ”
He couldn't make a decision for a while, so he had already heard Gao Qingyi say: "Pu Guogong is a loyal martyr, especially Ling Zun turned the tide when the Liang family was in turmoil, and it shows the true character of An Sheji and Ding Qiankun, which is enough to immortalize the annals of history and immortal with Western Xia." During the reign of Qianshun's father, there was turmoil in Western Xia, and he was placed under house arrest by the Empress Dowager Liang at that time, but fortunately he was protected by Renzhong and Renli's father Wei Ming Jingsi to survive the catastrophe.
Wei Mingren Zhong said: "It is the duty of all the people of Daxia to be loyal to the country and serve the Lord. Besides, such old things, your envoy will do it! ”
Gao Qingyi said: "Although this matter is old, it needs to be remembered by future generations!" Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity, Lord Wei Jingsi was wise, but now there is no successor, and the Xixia court is full of a group of rat-eyed people! ”
Wei Mingrenli was furious, and he wanted to scold, but Qianshun had already taken the first step to reprimand: "Bold! You are a cold Confucian, although you are the envoy of the marshal of the Jin Kingdom, you should not talk about the major politics of our Western Dynasty, let alone slander the ministers of our Western Dynasty in public! Don't you think that if you're a foreign emissary, I won't be able to kill you! ”
Gao Qingyi saluted and said, "Emperor Daxia is honorable." ”
He called out this title, and his smooth anger eased a little, and said: "If you have words, let you come!" If you can't find a reason, even if it is your Jin country, I will never spare it! ”
Gao Qingyi said: "May I ask Your Majesty, when Song Zhezong broke off the Western Xia New Year's coin, he raised troops to commit crimes, and His Majesty was able to save the day, what did he rely on?" Gao Qingyi said that it was nearly 30 years ago, when Qianshun was in power not long ago, and the Great Song Dynasty was still strong, and Song Zhezong took the prime minister's suggestion to stop dividing the territory, cut off the "annual gift" to the Western Xia, and implemented a tough policy against the Western Xia, pressing step by step. It was a difficult time, and it was unforgettable for Qianshun, who was still a teenager.
Qianshun was silent when he heard this, and Renzhong replied on his behalf: "Relying on the blessing of the ancestors of Great Xia, my lord is wise and martial, and the frontier soldiers use their lives." ”
Gao Qingyi asked: "If there is no mediation between the Liao lords, can this matter be well resolved?" ”
Qianshun didn't answer, and Renzhong said: "The lord of Liao mediates in the middle, and he also has grace and help, and those who are kind to my Great Xia, even if they are small favors, do not dare to forget." ”
Gao Qingyi also didn't pay attention to Wei Mingrenzhong's words to avoid the important and light, and said: "When Song Shenzong, Song Tingfa invaded Xia in five ways, all from the east and south, although this battle has been lost, but at that time, if you add a large army from Yunnei and Tiande, and go west along the Yellow River to the south, can the Xia people still support it?" ”
Brother Wei Mingcha snorted: "Now that Yunnei and Tiande are owned by me, the Han army is about to invade, how can I march from Yunnei and Tiande?" ”
Gao Qingyi asked rhetorically: "King Mingjian of Jin: Once there is a mistake in the clouds, can Yunnei and Tiande still be able to protect alone?" ”
The name of Chago is silent.
Gao Qingyi said: "The Han people want to get Longyou, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and all dynasties. If the Han people do not have internal strife and turmoil, they will die in Western Xia and have the heart of Ganlong! Those who have been able to settle down for a while in the Western Xia for a hundred years are actually because of the great Liao in the north, so as to lead the Song people. Now the military power of Zheyan Chong is far superior to that of the Song people, and the wealth of the East China Sea is not comparable to the Liao people. Once Zheyan Chong pacifies Mobei, it will be the wealth of both the Liao people and the Song people! May I ask the Emperor of Great Xia, in a corner of Western Xia, can he defeat the Liao and Song Dynasty in a joint attack? ”
Qianshun was terrified when he heard this, and Gao Qingyi said: "Xixia and Dajin, it's just that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold!" The violence of Zheyan Chong is ten times greater than that of Qin Shi Huang, and it is said that Yang Yingqi has made a ring of universe maps, but wherever it can be seen, it wants to be included in the bag. Your two countries, and Zhi Yanchong cannot stand between heaven and earth, and the three-foot children also know this very well! If you don't take advantage of Zheyan Chong to go north and join forces to send troops to destroy the Han Dynasty, then the day Zhi Yanchong returns from Mobei will be the time when the clouds fall, and after the clouds fall, can the Xia people still be able to control in Hexi? If the Emperor of Great Xia does not want to follow Liu Chan and Sun Hao, it is imperative to join forces to destroy the Han Dynasty! Zhe Yan wanted to try to go north and then south, which was to kill himself, and Mobei's march was not smooth, causing Xiao Tienu to be trapped in Kedun City, which was a sign that the sky was about to die. There is a saying: the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again! If you don't do it now, when will you wait? ”
Brother Wei Ming Cha was also moved: "What Lord Gao said is extremely true. ”
Qianshun said: "Wen Hanting is left behind by Yang Yingqi, Cao Guangbi in the south, Yang Kaiyuan in the north, Liu and Chong in the west, and Ouyang in the east. ”
Gao Qingyi said: "The two of us join forces, maybe we can't destroy him." But his Han family has only been mixing one or two rivers in Qin and Jin for only a year, and the foundation is not firm, if the two roads of Dajin Yunzhong and Henan, plus the Great Song Dynasty, will it be difficult to destroy him! ”
Qianshun said in surprise: "The sixth prince and the Zhao family have also decided to send troops?" ”
Gao Qingyi said: "If it weren't for the two families in the south who had responded, how would my lord dare to do it?" In this matter, my lord has agreed with the six princes and Zhao Gou: after destroying the Han Dynasty, Shaanxi and Qin Feng will return to Western Xia; Hedong and Yanjing belong to my home; Hebei East and West Road belongs to the six princes; Shandong and the overseas places of the Han Dynasty all belonged to Zhao Gou. The general trend of the world is already clear: if they join forces, all four will survive, and if they hesitate, they will perish. Please ask the Great Xia Emperor to make a quick decision! ”
Wei Ming Renzhong asked: "The Zhao family and the sixth prince agreed to send troops, is there any evidence?" ”
At this time, the news from the northwest and the southeast was isolated, and the alliance that Gao Qingyi said was actually not reached, and at this time, he was asked by Wei Mingrenzhong, thinking that this person was really old and spicy, but his face was impassive, and he said: "The envoys from the north and the south need to go through the Song realm, so they are all secret talks, but the documents cannot be passed. Seeing that the Western Xia monarch and minister showed slight disbelief, he said loudly: "The relationship between the four families is already as clear as the sun and the moon, why doubt it!" ”
Qianshun said: "Please go to the post house to rest, and come to the meeting." Then he instructed the officials of the Ministry of Rites to entertain him.
Gao Qingyi could also see that the Xia lord and his ministers were already moved, but they were afraid of the might of the Han court, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while. He was about to say more, Wei Mingrenli had already come to invite, and he thought that it would be difficult for Xia Ren to immediately agree to raise troops by relying on his three-inch incorruptible tongue, so he got up and took his leave.
