I don't know why, Su Dao learned for the first time that when the six thousand Song troops moved from Jingtai to Zhongwei under the leadership of Li Heng, a layer of cold sweat instantly soaked their backs, and Li Heng's gloomy smile involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"The Song people want to invade Xia!" Su Dao was shocked by his speculation and broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare horses and immediately rushed to the Zhenyi County Palace.

At this time, in the Zhenyi County King's Mansion, Li An'an and Hot Gongji were quite excited, since the beginning of the rebellion, in just a few days, most of the generals of the Proton Army and the Iron Harrier who had been guarding the Xingqing Mansion were actually on his side.

What made the two even more excited was that as the two elites of the Proton Army and the Iron Harrier stood still, and in fact began to lean towards Li An'an, the Anbei Army of the Hexi Corridor that Li Chunyou originally wanted to deploy was still nowhere to be heard, like a stone sinking into the sea, that is, it did not bring any troops to Xingqing Mansion to assist Li Chunyou, and no letter reached the palace.

"The king of the county, the prime minister, it's not good, the Song people came to my Daxia this time, because the drunkard didn't mean to drink." Su Dao is wearing armor, since he became the nominal commander of the Iron Harrier, now Su Dao can be said to have become the general with the most troops among the military generals of the Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop.

With a snap, with Su Dao's words, the hot Gongji's hand shook suddenly, and the teacup in his hand instantly fell to the ground and shattered.

"You...... What did you say? Ye Qing really wants to invade my Great Xia? Hot Gongji stood up in shock, looked at Su Dao in disbelief, and then slowly shifted his gaze to Li An'an.

At the beginning, he also reminded Li An'an that it was okay to form an alliance with Ye Qing, but he must not let Ye Qing's soldiers and horses enter the Xia realm, once he was allowed to lead the army into Great Xia, it was very likely to cause the consequences of luring wolves into the house, and now it seems that Ye Qing is a thief! What wolf ambitions! The mind is so vicious!

Su Dao faced the hot Gongji who looked extremely shocked, looked at the careless Li An'an again, hesitated and said, "Prime Minister...... Only now...... This is just the speculation of the lower officials. Li Chunyou wanted to transfer the Anbei Army in the Hexi Corridor to aid Xingqing Mansion, but now how many people have been sent out are like stones sinking into the sea, and there is no response at all. And...... Li Heng under Ye Qing was originally placed in Jingtai by the lower officials, but now, he actually led his troops to occupy the Zhongwei privately, so the lower officials guessed that it would be Ye Qing who used the place of the middle guard to block the news between the southwest and Xingqing Mansion. ”

Li An'an glanced back at the hot Gongji who was still nervous, and then signaled his subordinates to change the tea for the hot Gongji again, and then asked lightly: "Then how many people did Li Heng bring in Zhongwei?" ”

"Six thousand, one thousand more than the original five thousand. The king of the county, the lower officials thought that Li Heng was testing us by doing this, to see if we still had the energy to focus on him at this time. And once we ignore it, Xia Guan is afraid that Ye Qing will send a large army from Guanshan to ...... because of this. Su Dao said analytically.

"Don't be afraid." Li An'an sneered, and without waiting for Hot Gongji to ask Su Dao, he opened his mouth and continued: "Since Ye Qing promised to help this king, if he intercepted the messenger sent by Li Chunyou to Anbei to mobilize troops, wouldn't it be exactly what we wanted?" What's more, there are only 6,000 people, even if they occupy the central guard that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once the matter of Xingqing Mansion is over, when this king becomes the emperor, wouldn't it be just right to use it to give us prestige? If he could recapture Guanshan in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be better to go back to the silver, rare treasures, and even the armor of the war horse that we gave him the next year? So at the moment, there is no need to panic, don't make any distinction between the important and the severe. ”

"Is the king of the county with Ye Qing...... Ever been in private with each other? Hot Gongji felt that his right eye was beating a little strangely, if he really had contact in private, then it meant that after completely turning his face with Li Chunyou, Li An'an was already planning more things, after all, before this, Li An'an had to discuss everything with him, and now he was secretly contacting Ye Qing privately, which ...... Does it mean that Li An'an has begun to have some scruples about his hot Gongji, or his hand, the power in his hot Gongji now...... Some are too big?

"Yes, a few days ago, the king of Japan personally sent a letter to Ye Qing." Li An'an said with a confident smile: "The two armies of the Iron Harrier and the Proton Army, the prime minister has attracted many generals, making it impossible for Li Chunyou to suppress me in a short period of time. In addition, Mongolia is now conquering Liao, so in this way, Li Chunyou, the army of the Sixteenth Prison Division of Hebei, naturally cannot be sent at will, and must be on guard against the Mongols who may offend my Great Xia. Naturally, Li Chunyou must set his sights on Lanzhou and the two armies of Anbei. Lanzhou's right wing army did not have many troops, and it had to guard against the Lizhou Road army of the Song Dynasty. Then only the Anbei Army on the road of the Hexi Corridor remains, and the responsibility of the Anbei Army has always been to guard against the invasion of the Liao State, and now with the Mongol invasion of the Liao State, the Anbei Army is now under no pressure, so if I were Li Chunyou, I would draw troops from the Anbei Army to outflank us from behind us. And Ye Qing occupied the central guard, as if choking the throat of the communication between Li Chunyou and the Anbei Army, so ...... Prime Minister, it's not that this king can't trust you, but that this matter is very important, so this king didn't tell anyone. ”

Hot Gongji frowned, and was slightly unhappy with Li An'an's crossing of the river and demolishing the bridge, but on the surface, he still nodded very seriously and asked: "Isn't the king of the county afraid that Ye Qing will use the terrain advantage of Zhongwei to plot against Lanzhou and Hexi?" If his ambitions grow during this time, whether it is attacking Lanzhou or Hexi, we can also be like Li Chunyou, because of the containment of the central guard, and we don't know anything about the affairs in the south. ”

"There are as many as 70,000 people in Anbei, and the Lanzhou Right Wing Army and Jincheng Army also reach 50,000 people, even if Ye Qing claims to have 200,000 troops to the outside world now, but if he wants to take my Lanzhou and Hexi, then he is bound to transfer all his troops from Guanshan to my Great Xia. Does Ye Qing have the courage and courage? Li An'an asked with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Then he still didn't give Hot Gongji a chance to talk to Su Dao, and continued to take care of himself: "Before the first day of the year before last, Ye Qing seized the three roads of the Jin people's Hetao, will the Jin people give up because of this?" Once Ye Qing dares to put all his 200,000 troops into my Great Xia, unless he doesn't want to live anymore, he wants the Jin people to snatch the three roads of Hetao, and even the Jingzhao Mansion, including the four places of Shandong Road. Therefore, this king firmly believes that even if Ye Qing likes to take risks and seek wealth in danger, he will not dare to enter my Great Xia in a big way, and let the Jin people take advantage of the opportunity to enter the emptiness behind him. After all, if he failed, Ye Qing would not even have a chance to turn over, so he would not dare to bet on this king. ”

At this time, Hot Gongji finally understood why Li An'an didn't fight to see them after the Jin envoys arrived at Xingqing Mansion yesterday, it turned out that he was not only calculating Li Chunyou in his heart, but also calculating Ye Qing and Jin Ren.

Li Chunyou is now in a difficult situation, and two clear factions have been formed in Xingqing Mansion, the reason why up to now, Li An'an has not really challenged Li Chunyou, in addition to the fact that there are still some positions vacillating in the Iron Harrier, that is, above the court, the officials headed by Han Daochong and others are still unswervingly on Li Chunyou's side at this time, so Li An'an is a little jealous at this time.

The Jin envoys arrived at Xingqing Mansion, but now Xingqing Mansion has become two courts, and in terms of the strength of the four states of Xingqing Mansion, it is obvious that Li An'an now occupies the initiative, and in the support of court officials, Li Chunyou has the upper hand.

Therefore, this situation caused the Jin envoys to be at a loss and entangled all of a sudden, and they didn't know which faction to talk to about the alliance at the moment.

Talk to Li Chunyou, but Li An'an now has the initiative in his forces, once Li An'an's mutiny is successful, then the Jin envoys will be tantamount to wasting candles and talking in vain.

And wanted to talk to Li An'an, but Li An'an was very arrogant at this time, and didn't give them a chance to talk at all, just told them that if they wanted to talk, they could, and they would talk after this king became the emperor of Great Xia.

But this is the reason why the Jin people can't afford to delay, Ye Qing wants to invade Xia, and the Jin people know it, even if they want to tell the Xia people, Ye Qing is just going to take advantage of your internal strife, so as to take advantage of the ruins to invade Xia, the Xia Emperor Li Chunyou naturally believes that compared to Ye Qing's invasion, Li Chunyou's current priority is to quell the rebellion against Li An'an's mutiny, and he can't spare his hands and energy for a while.

And the reason why Li An'an doesn't talk to the Jin people at the moment is not only because he is afraid that the Jin people will ruin his plan to seize the throne, but also hopes that after he becomes the emperor, he will join forces with the Jin people to deal with Ye Qing, so as to use the restraining power of the Jin people to let him recapture Guanshan and other places.

In this way, not only can he eliminate the criticism of the people of the world about the legitimacy of his throne after he just sat on the throne, but also can use the recovery of Guanshan to calm down some courtiers who are dissatisfied with his usurpation.

Therefore, in Li An'an's strategy, it is best for Ye Qing to send troops into Xia, so that it can become a reason for him to fight with the Song people after he ascends the throne as emperor.

"The king of the county, no matter what, the lower officials think it is ......." Hot Gongji listened to Li He's strategy and couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart, this is indeed the best strategy that can be attacked and defended, but Ye Qing is too treacherous and insidious, so Hot Gongji hesitated and still reminded: "King of the county, Ye Qing has always been a wolf ambition, he escaped in the battle of Guanshan back then, it is enough to imagine the strength of this person, and now it is feasible for the Lord to retreat as an advance, but Xia Guan still thinks that since the Proton Army and the Iron Harrier are idle here, it is better to invite the Jin envoy to discuss, The king of the county can do both. ”

Looking at the contemplative Li An'an, the calm that Hot Gongji originally showed too much in front of Li An'an turned more into a respectful statement at this moment: "The reason why I agreed to Ye Qing's entry into my Great Xia was because the positions of the Iron Harrier and the Proton Army wavered, and we didn't have too many chips in our hands. And now, most of the proton army and iron harriers have been returned to you, the king of the county, so why not take the opportunity to let them drive Ye Qing out of my Xia country, and at the same time, you can also negotiate with the envoys of the Jin, and conspire with them to regain the three roads of Hetao and the four places of Jingzhao Mansion, so that it will be easy for you to recover Guanshan, so that you can go further, and use the Jin people to attack the three roads of the river to blackmail Ye Qing and get back the silver taels we paid. ”

Su Dao's eyes lit up when he was listening, and he immediately agreed: "King of the county, what the prime minister said is good, I believe that now the Jin envoys are enough to see clearly who the emperor of Xingqing Mansion or my Dajin is, so the county king, you call the Jin envoys to talk, they will definitely believe you more than Li Chunyou." In this way, isn't it also equivalent to letting the Jin Kingdom recognize that you are the only emperor of my Great Xia? What's more, those proton troops and iron harriers are now idle around Xingqing Mansion, spending a lot of money every day, and some generals and subordinates still have to be careful to serve, so it is better to let them go to fight to the death with the Song people, and send those generals who wavered at the beginning to fight with the Song people. ”

"With the help of Ye Qing's hand, to eliminate dissidents?" Li An'an Mouzi lit up slightly, Su Dao's proposal moved him a little, and it was indeed a good idea.

"Good! Let the envoys of the Jin people come to see the king first. Li An'an clenched his fists and said with determination.
