Li Renxiao's conditions were too generous, which made Ren Dejing very moved, and then, Ren Dejing invited Li Renli down first, and then called his younger brothers Ren Decong and Ren Degong to discuss countermeasures.

After Ren Dejing told Ren Decong and Ren Degong about Li Renxiao's conditions, Ren Decong and Ren Degong were excited-they thought that the Ren family's adventure against Xia was worth it, and now their Ren family could get at least half of the Western Xia.

But—

Now the question is, do they want to accept it when they see it?

After pondering for a while, Ren Degong was the first to speak: "I think you can agree to Lord Xia's conditions, Lord Xia is already very sincere, even Lingzhou, the cornerstone of Great Xia, is willing to give it to our Ren family, we should accept it when we see it." ”

Ren Decong also said: "It is really good to have such a result, but what about the agreement between us and Dazhong, I am afraid that once we break the contract, Dazhong may use this as an excuse to send troops to recruit us, and besides, I am sure that Wu Jue has the heart to support the army and stand on his own, in this case, if we can win Western Xia, there are infinite possibilities." If Wu Jue can really support the Western Army to occupy Sichuan, Shaanxi and Longyou to stand on their own, then for the Ren family, there are really many possibilities in the future, and maybe one day, Ren Dejing will be able to replace Li Yan.

Ren Degong was quite calm, he said: "A thousand birds are in the forest, it is better to have a bird in hand, Wu Jue's self-respect for the army is still far away after all, it is better to get half of the Western Xia first, and then think about it in the long run, as for the big and medium...... Think about it again, it's a big deal, let's pay tribute to Dazhong first, or call Dazhong a vassal? ”

Ren Dejing thought for a while and said, "Can you compromise a little?" ”

Ren Decong and Ren Degong asked together: "How to compromise?" ”

The greedy color in Ren Dejing's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Let the Li family go to Guazhou and Shazhou, and our Ren family will be based in Lingzhou, Xiazhou and other places, what do you think?" ”

The most prosperous areas in Western Xia are the central areas such as Lingzhou and Xiazhou.

This Lingzhou, is the Lingwu of Ningxia in later generations, this place is in the Hetao Plain, "the Yellow River is nine songs, only a set of wealth", the water and grass are abundant, the products are abundant, and this place, the north controls the Heshuo, the south leads to Qing and Liang, according to the upper reaches of the road, the key point of the west, the location is very important, if which regime occupies this place, it is greatly beneficial to the development and growth of this regime, during the Tang Dynasty, Lingzhou is still the mainland, the Song Dynasty is the capital of Kaifeng, Lingzhou belongs to the extreme border, at the beginning, Li Jiqian is to get Lingzhou, only then there is the current Xixia, and then there is, This Lingzhou is the transportation hub of the Central Plains and the Hexi Corridor, and occupying Lingzhou can control the Silk Road and engage in international trade.

Xiazhou is equally important, Xiazhou can be said to be the birthplace of the party people, at least the birthplace of the party people, the party people live in Xiazhou, therefore, Xiazhou can be regarded as the ancestral land of the party people.

The area around Lingzhou and Xiazhou has seventy or eighty percent of the population of Western Xia, as well as most of the important facilities of Western Xia.

If the Western Xia is divided according to Ren Dejing's idea, then the Li clan of Western Xia, which only occupies the northwest borderland, may not be long before it will degenerate into an ordinary tribe on the grassland, and the Ren family who occupies the area of Lingzhou and Xiazhou will not affect their alliance with Wu Jue, who is "about to support the army and stand on their own", and they will still have infinite possibilities in the future, which is Ren Dejing's compromise method.

It can be said that Ren Dejing has a good calculation.

Although Ren Decong and Ren Degong both felt that Li Renxiao would not agree to such an excessive condition as Ren Dejing, the greedy Ren Dejing still told Li Renli his thoughts.

After Li Renli heard this, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and scolded Ren Dejing, and scolded Ren Dejing for a bloody dog.

Annoyed and angry, Ren Dejing ordered Li Renli's nose to be cut off, and then beat him out, claiming that if Li Renxiao did not divide Western Xia according to his ideas, he would lead a large army to Xingqing Mansion and then destroy the Li family.

After Li Renli returned to Xiazhou, he told Brother Richard about Ren Dejing's greed, and Brother Richard was furious and said that he would break the net with Ren Dejing.

Li Renli simply bandaged the wound and returned to Xingqing Mansion, and then told Li Renxiao and others about Ren Dejing's greed.

After listening to Li Renli's words, since Li Renxiao and below, all the people in Xixia were filled with righteous indignation, and shouted one after another, even if they gave Xixia to Dazhong, they would never teach the insatiable Ren Dejing!

But—

Giving Xixia to Dazhong is a momentary anger, unless it is really to the point of desperation, how could the Li family of Xixia take such an extreme step?

Soon, Richard sent someone to send Li Renxiao his advice.

Richard's advice was simple, and that was to fight once.

Brother Richard put forward with sophistication, what you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get it at the negotiation table, Ren Dejing must now think that he has won the game, so he dares to ask for a price, in this case, only Ren Dejing hurts, Ren Dejing will put away his greed, if Ren Dejing can be defeated, it will be better, when the time comes, even Lingzhou can not give Ren Dejing, let Ren Dejing go directly to the northwest.

Of course, there is also a huge risk in Richard's suggestion, that is, once Richard is defeated, then the Li clan of Western Xia may face annihilation, and in addition, if the Xia army starts a war with Ren Dejing's rebels, it may be a competition for the benefit of the fisherman.

But then again, Ren Dejing was too greedy to give the Xixia Li family any other choice at all.

Often this kind of moment is the moment to test a monarch's decisive ability, Li Yan has come to this point, it can be said that he has experienced countless such moments, and now it is Li Renxiao's turn to experience this kind of moment.

Li Renxiao locked himself in the room for more than three hours, then opened the door and walked out, and then said to the cronies: "Let's fight, let's talk about it if we win, if I lose, I will admit that the "handwritten letter" written by me that Dazhong took out was written by me." ”

In other words, if Brother Richard can win this battle, Li Renxiao will find a way to clean up the mess according to the situation at that time, and if Brother Richard loses this battle, then Li Renxiao is ready to give Xixia to Dazhong and Li Yan, so as to ensure that the Li family is rich and noble, and Xixia will also become history completely.

It can be imagined how difficult it was for Li Renxiao to make this decision, especially since Li Renxiao was only a child less than thirteen years old.

But Li Renxiao finally made this difficult decision.

Soon, Li Renxiao's decision was sent to Brother Richard.

Brother Richard saw Li Renxiao's order, wept loudly, and then spread Li Renxiao's order throughout the army, and the Xia army was in mourning.

After the wailing, the Xia army burst out with unprecedented morale, and Richard personally deployed, and then personally led the army to a decisive battle with Ren Dejing's rebels.

Ren Dejing actually faintly felt that something was wrong, and even regretted not accepting Li Renxiao's proposal.

But it's too late to say anything now, Brother Richard has already led a large army to attack him, and Ren Dejing can only face the battle, otherwise, the Ren family will give up all their previous achievements, so Ren Dejing can only suppress his bad feelings and regrets, and personally organize the army to meet the Xia army......
