Seeing the emperor say this, Kou Zhun changed the wat board in his hand from his left hand to his right hand, clenched it tightly and bowed deeply; said: "Since the emperor asked the minister to speak, then the minister will be outspoken!" ”

After a pause, he swallowed his throat and said: "At the beginning, the imperial court wanted to use the means of winning people's hearts to achieve the goal of conquest for Li Jiqian, but he made mistakes in direction and line; Li Jiqian has been in charge of the affairs of the party since he was 12 years old, and he is a rebel with horns on his head and thorns on his body; At the age of seventeen, he led 100 dead soldiers to the Songpan area, trying to expand the power of the party to oppose the Great Song Dynasty; But defeated by the officers and soldiers there! ”

Song Taizong heard Kou Zhun say: "Li Jiqian was seventeen years old, and he rushed to the Songpan area to try to expand the power of the party to oppose the Great Song Dynasty, but he was defeated by the officers and soldiers there!" I couldn't help but stand up from the dragon chair and shouted: "How can the lonely family not know anything about this matter that Yan Aiqing said!" ”

Prime Minister Li Fang flashed on the side, and Li Fang took a step forward and said: "Minister Li Fang once served as the Sima of the Yanzhou march of the Zhangwu Army, and he knows the roots of the Li family very well; The Xiazhou Dangxiang clan is from the Songpan region in the southwest, and the Dangxiang Li family has long had the heart to save more and more self-reliance; It is natural to rush to the old nest to expand his power, and Kou Zhichen's words are extremely true! ”

Li Fang's words are a bit factual and not true, and Lu Chengyu flashed out of the class.

Lu Chengyu held the wat board in his hand tightly like Kou Zhun and bowed and said: "Qiqi Sheng, Weichen has witnessed the process of Li Jiqian rushing to Songpan Qiang Village to recruit troops and buy horses; However, in Qingshichuan Horse Husbandry, Weichen and Qin Feng led the officers and soldiers to defeat Li Hu; Li Hu was panicked like a lost dog and led the remnants to flee back to Pingxia City! ”

Song Taizong said "yo", and stood on top of the Danqi excitedly and nodded to Lu Chengyu frequently: "Xianqi took over the battle with Li Jiqian in the Qingshichuan Horse Husbandry Supervisor, ahaha...... The widow really didn't look at the wrong person! ”

Lu Chengyu saw that Song Taizong was happy, and said impassionedly: "The minister was the prefect of Chengdu at that time, and Brother Wen was the prefect of Shiquan County; The two of us learned that the imperial court was going to fight a decisive battle with the Khitans, so we decided to raise 2,000 war horses in the Qingshichuan Horse Husbandry Prison and send them to Bianliang; I didn't think that Li Jiqian was also stealing horses from the horse herding supervisor, so we took a fire! ”

Lu Chengyu reported the matter of the Qingshichuan Horse Husbandry Supervisor to Song Taizong according to his own ideas, and Song Taizong was full of joy.

After listening to Lu Chengyu's narration, Song Taizong said happily: "I didn't expect that the concubine would make great contributions to the imperial court before he came to the capital, but he has been silently asking for credit; The nobility of conduct should be the benchmark! ”

Song Taizong said, looked at Kou Zhun and said, "Yan Aiqing, you can continue with the previous words!" ”

Kou Zhun saw that the emperor was quite interested in his topic, so he talked about it freely.

The plan of the Great Song Dynasty to entrap Li Jiqian was responded to by Li Jishou, but Li Jiqian made trouble from it; With his entourage, he fled to Jin Ze and tried to make a comeback.

Dijinze is 300 miles away from Xiazhou, and there are aquatic grasses, which are convenient for grazing; Li Jiqian entrenched here, and soon gathered many of his kind to harass and attack the borders of the Great Song Dynasty; To the people at the border pass in the midst of the fire.

Seeing that Li Jiqian could not be entrapped, the imperial court had no choice but to let Yin Xian, the prefect of Xiazhou, and Cao Guangshi, the capital inspector, secretly spy on Jinze, and then lead most of the most elite men and horses to attack Li Jiqian's base camp at night.

Yin Xian and Cao Guangshi won a complete victory in the night attack, and burned 400 accounts of the party tribe; Li Jiqian's mother and wife were all arrested and imprisoned in the Song army's prison car.

Li Weiqian's painstakingly managed base turned into a naught overnight.

Li Jiqian fled alone from Dijinze to Huangyangping in the north of Xiazhou, where the Yeli tribe of the Dangxiang clan lived.

Li Jiqian intermarried with the local Yeli tribe, and then had the strength to provoke the nerves of the Song army's guards.

Tuoba Yu, the chief of the Dangxiang tribe who lives in Yinzhou, sent someone to Li Jiqian and said: "Yinzhou is located in Sisai, if you lead troops to come, I will lead the tribe to assist; You can get the state city! ”

Li Jiqian knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; If you can meet Tuoba inside and outside, then it is only a matter of time before you capture Xiazhou City.

Li Jiqian's family ruled the five continents of the north for generations, and although Li Jiqian was defeated, there were still some powerful surnames who defected to him and got married; Li Jiqian soon became strong again.

However, Cao Guangshi inspected the prefectures of Yin, Xia, Sui, Lin, Fu, Ping, and You, and his troops were strong, and it was not easy for Li Jiqian to make great progress.

Li Jiqian's force was insufficient, so he plotted to tempt Cao Guangshi with deceit.

Li Jiqian sent someone to tell Cao Guangshi: "The humble general has been defeated several times, and it is really difficult to stand up; If you have the heart to surrender to the imperial court, can the public give you this opportunity? ”

Cao Guangshi was overjoyed, and Li Jiqian was scheduled to accept the surrender at Jialuchuan.

Cao Guangshi agreed to accept the surrender of Li Jiqian, thinking that this was a great achievement, and did not discuss it with anyone; So he brought hundreds of soldiers to the appointment.

As soon as Cao Guangshi and his entourage left the city gate, more than a dozen people stepped forward to greet them, and the first one was Li Jiqian.

Cao Guangshi had no doubt that Li Jiqian led the way straight to the north of the city; Dozens of miles later, I saw Xiao Xiao in front of me, a piece of reeds, and knew that Jialuchuan had arrived.

The ancient name of this Jialuchuan Zhuji water, originated in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, flowed through the territory of Yulin, Shaanxi, and entered the Yellow River from Jia County; More than 100 miles along both sides of the river are covered with reeds, so it is called the Jialu River.

Cao Guangshi saw that the terrain was treacherous, and asked, "How far is it?" ”

Li Jiqian said: "It's only two or three miles away, if the inspector thinks it's inconvenient; I'll go to the front and call them to meet them. ”

Li Jiqian said, looking at Cao Guangshi and smiling slyly.

Cao Guangshi had already seen it in his eyes and said: "Li Jiqian, are you afraid that you won't succeed, you look back!" ”

Cao Guangshi said and raised his whip, and Li Jiqian looked at it; Seeing a piece of smoke and dust not far away, the sky is reckless, just like the yellow dragon seeing the head but not the tail, knowing that there is a large army behind it, only one or twenty miles away, I don't feel stunned.

Cao Guangshi laughed and said: "The old man has been using soldiers for decades, can he still be planted in the hands of your doll, as long as you dare to make a move, the 30,000 iron horsemen will come in a moment!" ”

Li Jiqian didn't feel a cold sweat, but when he thought that his mother and wife died at the hands of Cao Guangshi, he secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Today is either the fish dies, or the net is broken; Even if you take my life, you will take your head first. ”

Li Jiqian said in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Where does the inspector say, and the dog who scares the villain will not dare to mess around!" ”

Li Jiqian said that he had entered the reeds and walked forward; The road is getting narrower and narrower.

Cao Guangshi was about to speak, but when he saw Li Jiqian and the others in front of him, he turned his horse head and laughed: "Lord Cao, do you still want to live today?" ”

Before the words fell, Li Jiqian took off a long whip from his waist, and with a "brush" sound, Cao Guangshi dodged sideways; only heard a "click", and one of the two wooden cages immediately carried by a soldier behind him was slotted into pieces; The other one landed on the ground with a "click".

Cao Guangshi was shocked, and Li Jiqian was whipped again; The other cage also turned into a pile of wood chips, but the four flying pigeons in the cage were seen dead in the ground.

It turned out that Li Jiqian had already looked at these two wooden cages, but he didn't think of any use.

When I saw the reinforcements behind, I realized that this was used to contact the reinforcements, so I feinted to attack Cao Guangshi; Distracted everyone's attention, and killed four flying pigeons with only two lashes.

Li Jiqian killed the four carrier pigeons that Cao Guangshi used to communicate, and then whipped the flowers; After a bang, many Western Xia warriors wearing felt hats came out of the surrounding reeds, and there were more than 1,000 people.

In the face of so many soldiers, how could Cao Guangshi and others be the enemy? After a fight, the whole army was annihilated.

Cao Guangshi died in the chaos, and Li Jiqian led his troops to attack the reinforcements behind; The reinforcements were frightened and scattered and fled; Only Cao Guangshi's nephew Cao Keming escorted the baggage to the rear and heard the rout say that Cao Guangshi was dead, and he was afraid that the army would disperse; The secret widow pretended to be a messenger from the north, saying that Cao Guangshi had a life, and ordered him to retreat from Yinzhou.

Cao Keming retreated as a whole and advanced in an orderly manner, without wounding a single soldier.

When Kou Zhun said this, Song Taizong sighed and said: "Li Jiqian is treacherous and cunning, and he must not be underestimated!" ”

said that the edict was handed down: bury Cao Guangshi and treat his children and grandchildren well.

Seeing that his remarks had won the emperor's attitude to change, Kou Zhun said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you are so cunning to Li Jiqian; It must be dealt with heavy troops! ”

Song Taizong bowed his head and said nothing, raised his arm and said, "Yan Aiqing, you continue to talk!" ”

Kou Zhun raised his voice and continued to narrate, his impassioned words revealing hatred for Li Jiqian.

Practice has proved that Li Jiqian is a treacherous and treacherous villain; But from another point of view, this guy's tenacity and perseverance can't help but be admired; After several fiascos, there was a small success.

Li Jiqian will not give up the long-cherished wish of revitalizing the party and the Xiang clan, he moved to Yinzhou and claimed to be the envoy of the Duzhi Domain, and the right to know that the army would stay behind and give the tribal patriarchs all the governors of California to prepare for greater revenge and revitalization.

In March 985, Li Jiqian attacked Huizhou; The imperial court sent Tian Renlang and Li Jilong of Qinzhou to send troops to crusade, and the head of the party tribe, Zhi Luoyu, and his younger brother were buried and killed in battle, and Zhe Luoyu was also captured and executed by the Song army.

In April, Li Jiqian had to withdraw from Yinzhou and flee, and in June, the Song army took advantage of the victory to pursue the Dangxiang tribe and lost more than half.

The Song army was strong, the party department was defeated, and it was no longer able to recover its vitality in a short period of time and take the initiative to attack the Song Dynasty.

However, the flame of revenge never goes out. In 986, Li Jiqian took the initiative to communicate with the Liao Dynasty.

The Liao Dynasty appointed Li Jiqian as the governor of Xiazhou, and appointed Li Jiqian's third brother Li Jichong as his deputy; and married Princess Yicheng, the daughter of the clan, to Li Jiqian, and named Li Jiqian as the king of Xia.

Li Jiqian once again started from scratch with strong perseverance, and made a comeback; With the support of the Liao Dynasty, he began to fight with the Song Dynasty again.

In 987 AD, Li Jiqian attacked Xiazhou, and the imperial court saw that Li Jiqian was in good communication with the Liao State, and it was inconvenient to use officers and soldiers to openly fight with the party members; He wanted to use the strategy of "razing to control Yi" to give Li Jizhu's surname Zhao, change his name to Baozhong, grant the history of Xiazhou Assassin, and make the envoys of the difficult army festival and Xia, Yin, Sui, You, Jing and other five states to observe and deal with the envoys of the feudal domain, and the people guarded Xiazhou to refuse Li Jiqian.

Li Jiqian didn't care what the Song Dynasty did to him, and insisted on revenge; But Li Jiqian's Yu Ni and Bu Da Shu were defeated by Li Jizhuo, and Li Jiqian also hit the arrow.

After Li Jiqian's arrows healed, he began to attack the city of Xiazhou and defeated Li Jishou, followed by Yin, Suierzhou and finally occupied.

Next, Li Jiqian attacked Gyeongju, Yuanzhou, and Xiazhou, and Li Jizhuan was defeated step by step; The Great Song Dynasty formulated the strategy of using razing to control razing completely in vain......
