The territory of the Tangut people is getting less and less, even a fool knows that the Tangut people will not be able to resist the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, this is a vicious circle, the less land there is, the fewer soldiers can be recruited, the less food they get, and the more hope of fighting the Great Song will be.

He didn't hide that Pang originally planned to use a protracted war to consume the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops was high, even the Great Song Dynasty could not afford it, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to let the soldiers settle in the fields, and even raise military salaries by selling bonds in the country, so that the financial burden of the imperial court was greatly reduced, coupled with the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty's commerce and trade, the money earned from abroad every year gathered into the Great Song Dynasty like flowing water, which made the Western Xia have despaired.

Zhao Zhen even expelled the Western Xia envoys in Beijing, and the Western Xia was even worse for a while.

For Western Xia, Zhao Zhen's answer is very clear, those who go along prosper and those who rebel die, the result is so simple, but it is a huge challenge to test Western Xia.

The Tangut people had established a state, enjoyed the pleasure and pride brought by invasion, and their national self-esteem was not comparable to that of the small tribes of Fanbang. Let them give up the pride of the Great White High Kingdom, surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and move the clan inward, which is almost as uncomfortable as killing them.

But that's the case, the Xixia people don't have a choice, Zhao Zhen won't give them a choice, a letter of state stamped with the jade seal of the country was sent from Zhongshu Menxia Province, this is an extremely thoughtful national letter, not only the Great Song Dynasty generally does not show the jade seal, but also Zhao Zhen's emperor treasure and the seal of the prime minister Pang Ji, it can be said that it is as heavy as a thousand pounds!

The official who sent the envoy was not an ordinary person, but Ouyang Xiu, who was the deputy minister and governor, if it weren't for Bao Zheng's age, Zhao Zhen would definitely send him an envoy to make the Xixia people pay attention to this warning.

Of course, the content of the national letter is also extremely strong, Zhao Zhen's writing is sharp, strong and mighty, and the awe-inspiring atmosphere of a great country is rendered and on, every sentence and every word is chiseled, he wants to let the unhidden Pang see the situation in front of him clearly, instead of being carried away by anger.

What kind of person is Pang who has not hidden? Zhao Zhen knows him quite well, although he has not seen him, but all kinds of things let him know, he is very rational and wise, of course, there is no lack of cunning and fickleness, otherwise Ning Lingge will not be easily used by him, Li Yuanhao will not be killed by his poisonous scheme, and the power of Western Xia will not fall into his hands.

It's a pity that this regime didn't last long to confront the powerful Song Dynasty, simply put, he was a stumbling block to the Great Song Dynasty, in Zhao Zhen's heart, Xixia was never a party member, the land of Western Xia belonged to Huaxia, and the party people of Western Xia belonged to Huaxia.

In Zhao Zhen's heart, the land of Western Xia is the Ningxia Plain, and the party members of Western Xia are just ethnic minorities, and his habits at this point make him one level higher than Western Xia, which is a habit brought by later generations.

And the content of the letter of state is also full of words of exhortation, words of grace and power, Zhao Zhen in the letter of the state detailed to the Great Song and Western Xia a comparison of power, and with this fact to speak, and finally add his own threat: "The Song of the Huanghuang Heavenly Dynasty, the people of the party are very small, and the number of millions is not a problem, if the Song Dynasty is lowered, then the war will be turned into a jade silk, and the people will be obedient, and I will pardon it!" If you are stubborn, stick to Xingqing Mansion, I will take the army of the tiger Ben, and carry the power of thunder, destroy the country, and destroy the seed of death, it is also okay! did not hide the false face and was killed. ”

This is the real Zhao Zhen's own words, the two mansions did not add a little embellishment, this is the emperor's words, the power of the Great Song Dynasty can be seen from between the lines.

In fact, Zhao Zhen is already good, and the inscriptions of the Chinese dynasties are much more unpleasant than what he said! Of course, when the national letter was issued, there was another text written by Ouyang Xiu himself, which was prepared by Ouyang Xiu after Zhao Zhen's consent.

The war of the Great Song Dynasty against the Western Xia has been delayed for too long, but fortunately, the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it is for the Great Song Dynasty, anyway, the military city of Gansu has been taken, and the construction of the Great Song Dynasty's Shandan Military Horse Farm has begun, restoring the number of horses there, planting pasture and breeding military horses.

For the previous offensive and defensive wars, the longer the delay, the more beneficial it is to the defenders, but the tactics of the Great Song Dynasty are really unbearable for the Western Xia people, not only that, but the army of the Great Song Dynasty also has a tendency to become more and more courageous, and every time they seize a piece of land, they will quickly open up the land, which is more active than the Western Xia people.

It is an absolutely safe way to feed the war with war, the Great Song Dynasty is willing to spend with the Western Xia, after all, one day the Western Xia will not be able to consume, because his land is getting less and less, not only the Great Song Dynasty has taken a large area of land, the Liao people are not idle, the Liao people who seized the front set are not satisfied, and they began to invade the land in the south, which is exactly the appearance of beating the water dogs.

But he forgot that if the Liao Dynasty continued south, it was very likely to touch the interests of the Great Song Dynasty, and at that time, the Great Song Dynasty would have to do something against him, and it would never sit idly by.

This is a war launched by the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also a war that must be won, before the Liao people sent troops, it aroused the anger of the people and officials of the Great Song Dynasty and even the lord and officials, Zhao Zhen did not do anything to the Liao Dynasty because this anger was not enough, he deliberately used his invisible hand to guide the direction of domestic public opinion.

The current Great Song Dynasty is not the original submissive appearance, the hearts of the people are trained by him to accumulate dignity, this dignity is different from Ah Q's self-comfort, this is a strong national self-confidence.

The public opinion that guides the war is too important for a country, it is the premise of the war, and it is also one of the forces that defeat the enemy, if a country does not even support its own people, how can it win the war?

In this era, not many people know these seemingly insignificant but enough to affect the outcome of the war elements, but Zhao Zhen has begun to use the fire, he deliberately let the people's dissatisfaction with the Liao Dynasty take advantage of the fire to rob in his heart, he deliberately ignored the remarks that punished the Liao Dynasty, and even acted as if he didn't know at all, that is, he was accumulating the people's dissatisfaction with the Liao Dynasty.

In the eyes of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia can no longer pose a threat to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia, which had no one in the eyes, deserves to be like this, the Western Xia is different from the Liao Dynasty, it is not the Zhengshuo Dynasty recognized by the Great Song Dynasty, it has no long history, and it does not have a profound cultural heritage, it is just a state attached to the Han Dynasty, but now it is rebelling and establishing itself as the emperor.

The Liao Dynasty was different, his founding was before the Great Song Dynasty, and he had a complete social system and etiquette culture recognized by the Han people, so he couldn't use the method of dealing with the Western Xia to deal with it, and Zhao Zhen had always used the method of encroachment, which gradually threatened it.
