Chapter 559: Xia Guo Gao's Clan
After a salute, the military generals were divided into left and right.
Li An'an looked a little tired, and said loudly: "The border is restless, what is the way for your ministers to retreat from the enemy?" ”。
"Your Majesty, the Khorasan Kingdom was originally a country under the Great Liao Domain, but now it has been replaced by a merchant state. If you make friends with it with the year's coins, you can retire! Liang Deyi said, in the imperial history.
"No, Khorasan is a predator. Xia Guo will be at peace with this, and Khorasan will not be good! Zhang Gongfu, the counselor, stopped.
"Huihe is friendly with Mongolia, and Khorasan will anger Mongolia when he captures Huihe. Why don't you send an envoy to Mongolia for help to relieve the plight of the two states of Shagua! Li Yuanji said in the Zuo Shilang of Shangshu Province.
"You can't break it! If Mongolia pretends to be defeated, the Xia country is in danger! Li Zhongshuo, the servant of the ministry, said.
We discussed it like this, but nothing came out.
Li An'an also felt that his head was big when he heard it, and he saw that Li Zunxuan, the king of Qi who was there with the old god, seemed to be confident. Then he spoke up: "King Qi, do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”。 As the first place in the court examination, Li Zunwei is erudite and knowledgeable. So in the court, there is also a place.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the ministers, it is better to send an envoy to Khorasan to meet the lord of Li. If Khorasan has the heart to destroy my Xia country, he must do his best to resist the enemy. If Khorasan is just a grass valley mind, it is better to know the benefits and disadvantages, and promise a heavy gift. If you make friends again, the border troubles of the Xia Kingdom will be peaceful. Li Zunwei really had an idea, so he said it without hurry.
This made the civil ministers and military generals present talk a lot, and many people even said out that King Qi had a very good idea.
Li An'an listened and felt that this method was very feasible. Let Li Zunwei be fully responsible for this matter.
In this way, Li Zunwei invited Luo Shichang, a scholar of Guanwendian University, to his mansion to discuss matters. This man has made many envoys to the Kingdom of Jin, and has gained a lot in his dealings with foreign countries.
"Your Highness! When the ministers heard that Khorasan had fled into Great Xia because of the Huihe prince, he suddenly raised an army. Why don't you send someone to find the prince of the crane and give it to Khorasan. Do you know again that you will take advantage of the stakes and force them to withdraw from the army? Luo Shichang thought about it and said loudly.
Although he did not yet know whether the news was prepared, according to the news from the front, it was said that the reason for Khorasan to send troops was Ze'er.
"Yes! This is true. I have found him, and I will give him to Khorasan. Li Zunwei nodded.
This made Luo Shichang's face happy, and then said: "This is easy to do." Khorasan attacked the crane first, and he had already destroyed the Mongols. Now he has invaded Great Xia again, and he has made many enemies. I heard that it has destroyed Khorezm, Qarakhanid and other countries in the old years, and is waiting for great governance. This time I attacked Great Xia, I don't think I would really destroy the Xia Kingdom. ”。
Li Zunwei listened to it and felt that this was the truth. He asked him again about the etiquette of the envoy, and then let him go.
It didn't take long for a person to come out of the beaded curtain, but it was Gao Lianghui, who signed the Privy Council.
He is the son of Gao Linggong, and after everyone in the Xia Kingdom thought that Gao Yi died at the hands of the Mongols, he deliberately showed favor to the Gao family. Gao Lianghui was appointed as a signatory of the Privy Council.
But who would have thought that just a month ago, a Huihe merchant suddenly came to visit them and brought shocking news.
That is, Gao Yi Gao Linggong, who was posthumously crowned as the prince of the country, did not die! Not only that, but he also ran thousands of miles away and took refuge in Khorasan. Originally, Gao Lianghui still wanted to persuade his father to return to his majesty and return to his majesty. Therefore, when the Ministry of Affairs first proposed to take Gao's family to Khorasan, Gao Lianghui flatly refused. It was not until the news of Khorasan's conquest of Gul, Tianzhu, Persia, the Qarakhanid, Khorezm, and Daliao came that his belief in persistence wavered.
When it came to Khorasan to attack Huihe, Gao Yi would become one of the generals in the battle, so he no longer dared to hesitate. He agreed to the evacuation conditions of the Ministry of Affairs and sent the Gao family back to Hehe in batches.
He's still here, but there's still a task to be done.
Actually, this is what he asked for!
After all, at first, the Department did not think of involving him.
"Your Highness! Ministers please send an envoy to Khorasan. Gao Lianghui Mao recommended himself. He wanted to do the act of being in Cao Ying's heart in Han and sending an envoy for the Xia Kingdom, but he was fighting for a generous gift for Khorasan.
It is also their Gao family who has taken refuge in the new dynasty, so they must try their best to show their role in order to win a higher status in the new dynasty.
So when the Affairs Department asked him how to make Xia submit to Khorasan, he first thought of Li Zunwei, the king of Qi.
The first jinshi of this clan has always had the heart to steal the throne. Although he behaved harmlessly to humans and animals on weekdays, he did not touch the military power at all. But he knew that many generals had actually taken refuge in King Qi.
Especially in the old Xia Dynasty, after the defeat of Mongolia and the sacrifice of his daughter for peace, more generals were dissatisfied with the current ruler Li An'an. Even many people feel that it is Li An'an's improper position that makes Xia Guo so difficult.
Therefore, Gao Lianghui took advantage of this and asked the affairs department to send someone to contact Li Zunwei.
And he pretended to be friendly with Li Zunwei, and took advantage of the signing of the Privy Council to reveal the secret information of the imperial court to Li Zunwei. Although it is not a major secret, the loyalty is obvious. Li Zunwei regarded him as his own person and made it clear about the contact between the affairs department and him.
Gao Lianghui took the opportunity to explain his plans. Let Li Zunwei find the prince of Huihe, and then keep it a secret. followed the deliberate lure of Hu Luoshan to send troops, and when Khorasan was strong, he would come forward to calm the situation. This not only increased his own reputation, but also further undermined the status of the current ruler.
After all, it is not a commendable thing for Nachen to seek peace.
"Hmmm! A person can give to Khorasan, and a minister can also be a minister. But the land must not be cut! Li Zunwei said his bottom line. The land of Xia is not large, and the emperors of all dynasties have valued the loss of a city and a place. Therefore, no matter what, the land of Great Xia cannot be parted. As for the prince of Huihe, even the Huihe Kingdom was destroyed, and it was useless to keep it. And if the lord of the kingdom knows about it, he will also be destroyed.
There are also the people and money of the two states of Shagua, and if Khorasan takes them away, take them away. Anyway, these two places have been captured by the Mongols once, and they are not rich places, so it is not impossible to let Khorasan have some sweetness.
If you are a minister, it is not a bad thing!
In the past, when the Great Liao was still there, the Xia Kingdom swam between the Great Liao and the Song Kingdom, like a fish in water, and made a lot of profits. At present, the Jin State is not saved when he sees death, and the Xia State can only commit himself to Mongolia. If there is a strong neighbor like Khorasan involved, then there is no need to look at the face of the Mongols completely.
Although it may be a bit embarrassing to say it, compared with Guotai Min'an, the loss is almost negligible.
What's more, the territory of Khorasan is several times the size of the Xia Kingdom, and even larger than Mongolia. It is not too embarrassing for Xia Guo to surrender to such a country.
