The absence of horses in the Song Dynasty was a defect, and Zhao Guangyi's deliberations began

Zhao Guangyi looked at his subordinates and knew that what he wanted to show when he arrived in Xixia was his own attitude, who was better to let go to Xixia at this time, he himself was also making difficulties at this moment, and at this moment he himself also thought of this matter, and this time the matter was not considered for this reason, and many things had to be considered for such reasons?

At this moment, Zhao Guangyi also smiled and said to Zhao Pu and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, although I have decided not to send people to attack Western Xia, but you Aiqing should also know that Suxi Xia is a big thing, and now that I know that Li Jiqian is about to become emperor, it is best for me to use someone who can express our Great Song Dynasty's sincerity towards this matter, and the other is to show our Great Song Dynasty's attitude, so that they can understand what our Great Song is like, so I plan to send two people this time, It's up to these two people to complete the task in unison. I don't know what kind of personnel you should recommend to talk about! ”

Zhao Pu also said to Zhao Guangyi: "Weichen thinks that sending people is a big thing, Weichen thought about it for a long time, and felt that this time it felt like a conspiracy, is there someone who wants us to turn against Xixia, he can profit from it, Weichen thought about it for a long time just now, but still didn't come up with it, until His Majesty let us take the idea, Wechen suddenly and completely understood that this should be Yelu Longxu's conspiracy, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to calculate Your Majesty." Moreover, in his opinion, now he has allowed the idea of being the emperor of Western Xia, otherwise Li Jiqian would not have chosen to openly establish himself as the king so soon, which shows that he wants His Majesty to make a big mess, and now His Majesty is not wrong at all to arrange this, completely breaking Yelu Longxu's deployment of troops, it can be seen that Your Majesty You are really too powerful, if you don't figure it out yourself, the old minister can't think of Yelu Longxu's heart opportunity is so deep, it will be so terrible, and now His Majesty wants Weichen and others to send people, It is to show that Your Majesty is wise, although Wechen doesn't know who His Majesty will send to Xixia now, but Wechen knows that His Majesty will have a judgment when he sends someone, otherwise you won't be like this, Your Majesty Shengming, long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

In fact, Zhao Guangyi sent people to Western Xia, which is equivalent to Liu Bei sending Zhuge Liang to Eastern Wu to unite with Eastern Wu to fight against Cao Cao? In history, that is, in the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Cao Cao led a large army to attack Jingzhou, Liu Cong (Liu Biao is dead, Cong is the second son) surrendered, and Liu Bei has no place to stand. Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei, Sun Quan also felt great pressure, and he could no longer wait and see, he could go to Eastern Wu to persuade Sun Quan to ally against Cao. Liu Bei agreed. Zhuge Liang came to Eastern Wu, met with Sun Quan, and first analyzed the current situation, saying, "Cao Cao has unified the north, occupied Jingzhou, and is powerful all over the world. Our lord was powerless to resist his troops, and suffered defeat, and retreated to Xiakou. Please decide whether to fight or to fight according to your own strength. If you can fight, you will immediately sever relations with Cao Cao, and if you can't, you will surrender as soon as possible. If, as is the case now, in the name of obedience on the outside, there is still hesitation on the inside, and great calamity is coming." When Sun Quan heard this, he sneered at each other and asked, "In that case, why didn't General Liu surrender?" Liang took the opportunity to provoke the general and replied, "My lord is a descendant of the royal family, a great talent, and the world admires him. Even if the big thing doesn't work out, this is the will of heaven, how can you bend your knees and surrender!" Quan was agitated by Liang and said excitedly: "I can't control the Jiangdong region and 100,000 soldiers, and I am determined to resist Cao."

Zhuge Liang was afraid that Sun Quan still had concerns, so he further focused on analyzing Cao Cao's weaknesses to Sun Quan, saying, "Although my lord was defeated at Changbanpo, Guan Yu and Liu Qi still have more than 20,000 elite people on land and water. The Cao army came to the north, traveled a long distance, and was very tired, and after a few battles, it had become the end of the strong crossbow, and the northerners were not accustomed to water warfare. In addition, the people of Jingzhou attached themselves to Cao Cao, but they were only forced by the military situation, not convinced. If you can send a fierce general to command tens of thousands of soldiers and work together with our lord, you can defeat Cao Cao and form a three-legged situation. The chance of success or failure is now." Sun Quan listened to this reasonable analysis, which increased the confidence of Lian Liu to resist Cao. However, Sun Quan's ministers were divided into two factions because of the main battle and the main battle, and they were evenly matched, so Quan decided to discuss it internally. As a result of the discussion, the main battle faction prevailed, and after that, there was the Sun-Liu Alliance, the Chibi Fierce War, and the Three Kingdoms. Although the current situation is different, but the meaning is almost the same, Zhao Guangyi also wants to send people to unite with the Western Xia to fight against the Liao State, he hopes that Li Jiqian can send troops to the Huangshui line to contain the Yelu Long continued army, so that he is unable to go south to form a three-point situation in the world in history, but he forgets the current situation, Yelu Khitan troops Heishui River, even without Li Jiqian, it is impossible to attack that place, because Li Jiqian has his own considerations, he wants to defeat the Tubo Uighurs. The purpose of capturing Longyou is to better kick you to expand your territorial sovereignty and make Western Xia invincible, which is why Western Xia will not unite with the Great Song Dynasty on the surface. In addition, why didn't he join forces with them, it was also because he Li Jiqian knew that offending Yelu Longxu would not end well, but Li Jiqian was not a good person, and he also had his own intentions, of course, they all understood these words, what would happen? No one knows, but now that Western Xia has completely cracked with the Great Song Dynasty, these problems will definitely cause national contradictions, and only time knows how they will be.

Judging from the surrounding situation of Western Xia, although it was surrounded by the Uighurs, Tibetans, Northern Song Dynasty and Liao, the strength of the Tubo and Uighurs was not enough to threaten the Western Xia, and the Northern Song Dynasty and Liao were the main threats. By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia were no longer bordering, but the Mongols rose in the north, and the Western Xia united the Jin State against the Mongols, although they were finally conquered by the Mongols, but in general, the strategy of the Western Xia uniting the Liao against the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin against the Mongols was still very effective. From the perspective of the national strength of the Western Xia, although the Western Xia lacked fertile land to develop agriculture, it occupied the Hexi Corridor, the only way for East-West trade, and was able to collect a large amount of transit taxes from the merchants, and in the territory of the Western Xia, not only produced war horses, but also had a large number of coal and iron resources, and the war resources of the Western Xia were completely self-sufficient. From the perspective of the military strength of the Western Xia, most of the early monarchs of the Western Xia had outstanding military talents, and established a strong army based on cavalry according to the characteristics of the Western Xia, and developed a set of effective tactics, which were not only enough to defeat the Tubo Uighurs and fight against the Northern Song Dynasty, but also defeated the Liao State, which was the strongest military in East Asia at that time.

This is a historical reason, but now with Yelulong's continued arrival in this place, coming to this world, it also restricts the development of Western Xia to the north, so he will have the following things to attack the Tibetan Uighurs, not bordering the Liao State, and now the Taiyuan area has become Yelulong's bag, and it is impossible to take it with the current national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that although there are only 100,000 troops in Lanzhou, but those are also fine horses, and the Song Dynasty is impossible to fight through the Liao State without war horses, and has lost the sixteen states of Youyun and the place where horses are raised, This is also why Zhao Guangyi wants to unite with the Western Xia, the Western Xia has the advantages of the Western Xia, and the Song Dynasty has the advantages of the Song Dynasty, and the combination of the two will definitely help the strength of the two countries skyrocket, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, is only a little smart, what will it evolve into next? No one knows, I'm afraid only they understand it clearly!
