Chapter 808: The Wise Man Sees Wisdom
"Spread the order, please come to Father Shang, I have something important to discuss!"
Li Yuanhao's hoarse voice finally made the atmosphere in the palace begin to change, and immediately someone from the palace went to Yeli Renrong's house to pass the decree, he was the only vivid, and the others still stood in place and did not dare to move.
The cold wind continued to pour into the palace, and the darkness in the sky seemed to be brewing a heavy snowfall, Li Yuanhao's face became even more ugly, now it is the beginning of spring in March, it should be the season for the grass to grow and the warbler to fly, but now the Western Xia is still snowy, and this white fear has shaken and collapsed many people in Xingqing Mansion.
The dark clouds in the sky finally couldn't carry what it was carrying, and the snowflakes fell in the cold wind, and soon turned into goose feather snow, overwhelmingly attacking the palace, floating into the main hall, and floating into Li Yuanhao's palm, the slowly melting snowflakes brought him a trace of coolness, but did not calm his restless heart.
No one in the palace on both sides dared to step forward and close the palace door, because the palace people who had tried to do so before had already died tragically outside the palace gate, and without Li Yuanhao's order, no one even dared to carry this strange corpse away.
Li Yuanhao got up suddenly, grabbed a handful of snow in the air, and let the snowflakes slowly melt in his hands and muttered to himself.
"It's snowing again, even if you have planted crops, I'm afraid you'll freeze to death, the power of heaven is actually something mortals can guess? He, Zhao Zhen, is just lucky! Right! He's just lucky! ”
Even now, Li Yuanhao doesn't think it's his fault, he just blames the problem on Zhao Zhen's luck and means, and now the top priority is how to lead the people of Western Xia through this crisis, Li Yuanhao believes that as long as he gets through this crisis, Western Xia will be able to stand up and compete with the Great Song Dynasty.
…………
When he learned that Li Yuanhao had summoned him, Yeli Renrong's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, but what followed was a trace of bitterness and despair, in his opinion, it was too late for Li Yuanhao to summon him at this time.
Rushing to the palace under the heavy snow, Yeli Renrong saw only depression along the way, the ability to bloom in the spring season, Xingqing Mansion was depressed, the street froze to death from time to time, starving refugees fell on the side of the road, the heavy snow soon turned him into a snowman, and then slowly buried by the snow.
Even Xingqing Mansion has already had this situation, not to mention those nearby state capitals, how much combat power does Western Xia still have now? How to turn things around, he just got the news that many of the Fan tribes close to the Great Song Dynasty have begun to belong to the Great Song Dynasty, and they are moving inward to the belly of the Great Song Dynasty.
This seems to be able to survive this cold spring, but it means that they will all be assimilated by the Great Song Dynasty and become authentic Han people.
And all this is only a matter of time, although they can still retain the customs and habits of the party, but they will soon be changed by the Han people, and thus become Han people through and through, Yeli Renrong knows better than anyone the methods of Song Tianzi.
Spring breeze and rain, moisturizing things silently is his Zhao Zhen's most powerful weapon, and any vassal who arrives in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty will be assimilated into a Song person.
The annexation of the vassals also meant that the military strength of the Western Xia was reduced, not to mention that these vassals were not under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, but they were an important part of the Western Xia military system, and once they lost their support, the number of foot soldiers in the Western Xia army would be greatly reduced.
What's worse is that although these vassal patriarchs have protons to serve as protons in the six classes of the imperial siege, they have no scruples, compared to the rise and fall of a clan, what is the difference between sacrificing one of their many sons?
has reached this point, obviously completely severing the past relationship with Western Xia, and even drawing a clear line of blood, Yeli Renrong can only sigh and give up.
Shang's father's carriage slowly drove into the palace, this scene is naturally a good thing for the people of Xingqing Mansion, Shang's father, as the pillar of Western Xia, is His Majesty's teacher, and naturally has a solution to the situation in front of him.
Now under the seemingly calm Xingqing Mansion, there is already a panic brewing due to fear, everyone is worried about their own future, they are worried about the future of Western Xia, they are afraid that the backer of Western Xia will fall apart, whether their family will be trapped in Xingqing Mansion like this, any action of Li Yuanhao will affect everyone's future.
Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to take the initiative to attack the Great Song Dynasty and get food and supplies to survive this sad year, they all already know the situation in front of them and are waiting for the emperor's order.
The fear and depression in the palace Yeli Renrong has been accustomed, as the emperor's father, he knows the student's temper and habits well, the glamorous corpse in front of the hall is unsightly, Yeli Renrong waved his hand to let the palace people carry it down, and then told the palace steward to go to the imperial kitchen to bring a bowl of mutton soup before stepping into the palace.
"Old minister, see Your Majesty!" Yeli Renrong saluted Li Yuanhao in a decent manner, and he still had the steady demeanor of the minister of Fubi.
Li Yuanhao stepped forward to help Yeli Renrong, and said with a wry smile: "What Father Shang worried about has come true, and I am inviting you now to think of a solution, how to make my Western Xia survive this catastrophe." ”
At this time, I remembered my father......
Yeli Renrong raised his eyelids and said, "Your Majesty has already made up your mind, why bother asking the old minister?" But the minister can only remind His Majesty that the current military strength of the Great Song Dynasty is far above that of the Liao Dynasty, and whether it is armor or grain and grass equipment, it is not something that our Western Xia army can contend with. ”
Li Yuanhao laughed and said: "This is natural, I am not going to confront the Great Song Dynasty head-on, but to send rangers to threw grass in the land of the Song Dynasty!" As long as you can get back the grain and grass of the Song people, you can ......"
"Your Majesty doesn't know yet? Now that the Songxia border is already the sound of war drums everywhere, it would be good if the Song people did not cross the border to attack Xia. The border of the Fan Department, attached to the internal migration and the belly of the Song Dynasty, from Yan'an Mansion, north of Huanzhou, are all wasteland thousands of miles, the Song people would rather give up those failed harvest grain burned in the field than wait for the autumn harvest, not to mention that there are people and grain storage, this is the strong wall of the clear field that cut off all the way of life in my Western Xia! ”
Yeli Renrong interrupted Li Yuanhao's words, and every sentence was like a basin of cold water constantly pouring on Li Yuanhao's flushed face, which also made him sober up, and looked around, the Liao Dynasty had just been defeated, and the Song people were strong enemies in front, and there was no way out for Western Xia.
Only Qingtang Tufan in the southwest can fight! Li Yuanhao followed Yeli Renrong's gaze and looked at Yutu and said, "Father Shang means to use soldiers in Qingtang? ”
Yeli Renrong shook his head and said: "The old minister means to let Your Majesty be careful of Qingtang, Jiaoluo is not an easy person, he has a very close relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, at the beginning of my Western Xia defeat and Jiaoluo, so that many Liangzhou Liugu Tubo and Ganzhou Uighurs who were unwilling to submit to my Great Xia rule have gone south to join him, it can be said that the current Qingtang Tufan is generally hated by the rebellion of my Western Xia, and now my Western Xia is difficult, how can these people not take the opportunity to take revenge?" ”
