Chapter 306: Western Xia who was forced to bow his head
Li Qianshun hurriedly discussed with a few henchmen around him, and now he was also a little flustered, and he had to listen to the opinions of his subordinates.
Everyone has different opinions, and there are hardliners such as Li Tianyi and others who propose to fight with the people of the Song Dynasty and Liangshan, and they are now a mighty army of more than 300,000 elites here, and they will fly away without eating them, and they will be ignored when these people are caught.
But there are also concerns that here they can definitely defeat the enemy, but what to do in the rear? If the granary of Liangzhou City is burned, they will have to eat food in the next year, and Xiazhou City will be even more troublesome, if the altars left by the ancestors are destroyed, then they will have no face to see their ancestors in the ground.
Everyone argued for a long time but to no avail, no one could convince the other party, and finally the national teacher Tahai spoke, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, no matter what everyone thinks, we must first admit that the strength of the Han people is not what it used to be, although there are not many Liangshan people led by Ye Ling, but it is extremely elite, especially there is a cavalry that is not inferior to our Great Xia Kingdom, which breaks the balance of strength between us and the Song Dynasty, and also breaks the situation that we don't need to defend but only attack in the past, while the Song Dynasty can only defend." ”
Tahai's words were to the point, and even the toughest Li Tianyi couldn't refute it.
Then Tahai said: "The big husband takes revenge, ten years is not too late, now our Liangzhou and Xiazhou are in each other's hands, and they are even more of a rat bogey, the old man said the worst possibility, that is, Ye Ling and we tore their faces, burned the granary and altar with a fire, and then patted their butts and hid back in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, and the rank said what should we do?" ”
If this is the case, then they and Liangshan will have an endless relationship, but the problem is that there is a Great Song Dynasty in the middle, separated by 200,000 border troops and a well-defended border line, even if part of the army can break through the border line, can it still fight all the way to Liangshan in Qingzhou?
I'm afraid that there will be no supplies at that time, and they will become a lone army without intelligence, and in the end, they will be swallowed up by the well-organized Liangshan army, and then their Western Xia Kingdom may die.
Thinking of this, everyone, including Li Qianshun, couldn't help but shudder, it can be said that the appearance of Liangshan completely broke the equilibrium between them and the Song Dynasty, and now it has become them who are at a comprehensive disadvantage, not to mention that they have to apologize for the land reparation, and if they can stop here, they will burn high incense and thank God for the blessing of the eighteenth generation of ancestors.
Li Qianshun finally stabilized at this time, after all, he was a person who started the palace battle at the age of five, and his adaptability was still extremely strong, he said calmly: "What the national teacher said is very true, we were careless before, we were taken advantage of by Liangshan, and seized the door of life, now we can only swallow our anger and wait for the opportunity, they have not done things absolutely now, they should be very jealous of us, which leaves room for maneuver, we can only compromise, otherwise it will shake the foundation of the whole country." ”
At this time, the high-level leaders had already lowered their arrogant heads, and they could only nod weakly, they never thought that one day they would be forced to such a point by the Han people.
Just when the people of Western Xia were discussing urgently, Su Yuanjing, Seed Master Zhong and Zong Ze and the other three on the other side were simply surprised and delighted, happy and surprised, and after half a ring, they finally believed that this was not a dream, but true.
The veteran general Zong Ze was even more excited and burst into tears, he had been in the army for more than 40 years, and he dreamed that one day he would be able to take the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty to fight back and march into the territories of Western Xia, Liao, Tubo and other foreign tribes, so that they could bow down and be vassals, and now it has finally become a reality.
The only fly in the ointment is that this cavalry was not led by him personally, let alone from the imperial court, but another force of the Han people, Liangshan, which made the old man Zong feel very regretful.
They all hurriedly came over to compliment and praise Ye Ling, they were all old foxes, even if they were not good at scheming, they were much stronger than the Tanguts, from the very beginning they had already judged that the Tanguts had no choice but to bow their heads and compromise this time.
It's the same as the Great Song Dynasty over the years.
Sure enough, after a while, Li Qianshun finally took the initiative to speak, his attitude was very peaceful, and there was even some flattery, which was completely different from the arrogance and arrogance at the beginning.
"Lord Ye Dazhai, King Gu and the Aiqing have already discussed, it was indeed ours before, then Mudel and Li Dezhong's unauthorized actions have brought great damage to your country, you can keep them alive It is already very much to take into account the brotherhood of our two countries, we are too rigid and self-serving, and we have failed the kindness of your country in vain, and the Lone King is here to accompany you."
Su Yuanjing and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, how many years, this is the first time they have heard the people of the Western Xia Kingdom soften, and it is not that kind of diplomatic rhetoric, but the Lord of the Western Xia Kingdom said it himself, and for a while the three of them were a little excited and wanted to cry.
Ye Ling only smiled faintly - he always seemed to be so calm, no matter the danger or the smugness, "The king is polite, then what did you say before, eight million guan, weapons, medicinal herbs, etc., shouldn't you want it?" ”
Li Qianshun hurriedly said: "This is natural, it is all Xiao Wang's confusion for a while. ”
"Then why can I make amends to you in person with the Emperor of that Daojun, right?"
"Of course, of course, this matter has been wrong from the beginning, and it has nothing to do with your country at all."
Ye Ling and Li Qianshun asked and answered very smoothly, but Su Yuanjing and the other three listened to it dumbfounded, this Li Qianshun is really a character, this posture is really low, and he is completely respectful as if he is Ye Ling's subordinates.
But Ye Ling was in his heart, and he couldn't help but think a little more highly of Li Qianshun, he knew that it was not difficult to be blindly tough, and he was a big man who could bend and stretch, the former was only suitable for being a fierce general who charged into battle, and the latter could achieve the king's career.
For example, he is as strong as Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, but he gave up on himself after losing the next battle, committed suicide and died, while his opponent Liu Bang didn't know that he had lost too many times, and when he was most embarrassed, his wife and children and father all fell into the hands of Xiang Yu, but his face was thick enough, and his heart was big enough, he didn't care at all, he was defeated repeatedly, but he was defeated again and again, where he fell, he lay down, and then found an opportunity to fight back, and finally defeated Xiang Yu.
Therefore, if Li Qianshun is just thunderous, all kinds of coercion and temptation, it is not terrible, it means that he is just a reckless man, but now he can grovel so much, which shows that this person has great forbearance, and once he seizes the opportunity in the future, it will definitely be a big disaster.
