Xingqing Mansion, thousands of miles away from Kaifeng Mansion, the Imperial Palace of the Western Xia Kingdom, although it is late at night, the lights in the imperial study are still bright. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Emperor Li Qianshun was in the imperial study, constantly browsing and reading the secret reports of all parties, and stopped to ask for details of the chamberlain.

Li Qianshun, who ascended the throne at the age of three, has been bumpy for 30 years, and was regarded as the pearl of the palm by the Empress Dowager Liang when he was a child, and he loved him very much.

It's a pity that the Empress Dowager's brother Liang Yiqi was autocratic and domineering, and he did not hesitate to kill the Empress Dowager Liang in order to stand on his own, but he was defeated and killed.

After this catastrophe, the Empress Dowager Liang no longer believed in any family affection, and not only strictly imprisoned the growing little emperor, but also fought frantically against the Song Dynasty, and finally was completely defeated in the Battle of Pingxia.

The Liao State was extremely dissatisfied with what the Liang brothers and sisters had done, and when they couldn't bear it anymore, they sent envoys to the Xixia Palace to kill the Empress Dowager Liang and ordered Li Qianshun to govern in person.

Li Qianshun, with the support of the Liao State, reformed politics and adopted the national policy of supporting the tribes internally to work together to kill the Liang clan, and at the same time stopping border provocations and being extremely friendly to the Song.

He took advantage of the rare period of peace to gradually develop agriculture and commerce, and after years of hard work, he finally eradicated all the parent party and completely mastered the power and army of the Western Xia Kingdom.

In the dead of night, his mental state became clearer and clearer. In Li Qianshun's view, in domestic and foreign affairs, the information that the Song Dynasty was about to start the war against Xia was particularly important.

Tong Guan, the privy envoy of the Song Dynasty, was about to arrive at Qinfeng Road of the Western Army a month later, and this news undoubtedly indicated that war was imminent.

One month, there is not much time left for Li Qianshun.

After years of fighting against the Song Dynasty by the Liang brothers and sisters, and frantically squeezing internally, the Western Xia Kingdom was on the verge of collapse.

At present, in addition to the 100,000 captured troops, Li Qianshun can only control Xingqing Mansion and the surrounding three or four prefectures, as well as the border military states. More than a dozen prefectures in the northwest have been divided by tribes, which is like a separation, and one by one they listen to the tune and do not listen to the propaganda, which makes Li Qianshun really headache.

At the beginning of the heyday of the Western Xia, all the people were soldiers, 800,000 iron horses, and the Great Song Dynasty trembled under the iron hooves. Unexpectedly, decades later, the Great Xia Kingdom actually fell, and every year it had to send a mission to Tokyo to pray for the blessings of the year.

No emperor can endure the living environment like a beggar, the Liao State is the suzerain, and the Song State is a brotherly state.

Thinking that Li Qianshun has been a little angry these days, Queen Yelu Nanxian stewed a bowl of rock sugar pears every night and sent them to the imperial study to recuperate for him.

The queen quietly walked into the imperial study, and did not bother with anything, but waited quietly on the side, holding the soup cup in her hand to prevent it from becoming cold and affecting the taste.

There is always some heart-to-heart between husband and wife, Li Qianshun can feel the arrival of Yelu Nanxian, put down the secret report in his hand, and turned around and smiled.

"Queen, you have worked hard to run the harem, and no matter how hard you work at night, I am uneasy."

Yelu Nanxian stepped forward with a smile, offered the soup cup in his hand, took Li Qianshun to take it, and opened the lid for him.

"The emperor is worried about the country and the people, and he is exhausted, and the ministers and concubines of the country and the society dare not speak falsely, so they can only offer a cup of soup and water to do their best. The heat may be a little too bad today, but if you don't like it, I'll boil it again. ”

Li Qianshun followed his words, took a sip, and then said, "It's as luscious as usual, and the queen's stew never gets tired of it" After speaking, in order to prove that what he said was true, he took two more sips.

Stimulated by the sweet soup, Li Qianshun's thinking became more active, approaching the huge map of the Song-Xia border, and scanning back and forth.

On the Xixia side opposite Qinfeng Road, there are only 20,000 tribal troops, and there are 30,000 clan troops on Yongxing Military Road, but it is very difficult to coordinate with three tribes.

If there is no strong overall planning, under the blow of tens of thousands of elites of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it will collapse if it does not last for a month.

Yelu Nanxian was next to Li Qianshun and asked with concern, "It's going to be a war with the Song State again, isn't it?" ”

"This time it was not us who provoked it, it was the strategy adopted by the Great Song Dynasty to consume the Western Army. Fortunately, the news from Tokyo is very timely and accurate, and we have all the control of Tong Guan's combat strategy this time, and the fight will not be too ugly. ”

"The concubines congratulate Your Majesty, and congratulate the millions of people in my Great Xia Kingdom! The strategy you painstakingly implemented years ago has worked! ”

Yelu Nanxian looked at Li Qianshun with admiration, this is an emperor who has experienced strange twists and turns, and has worked hard every day in order to establish immortal achievements.

Now in the prime of life, with a big heart, wisdom and pride, he is constantly expanding his strength and dreams, and he is the hope of the country.

-- Dividing line --

In order to please the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia delegation sent a large-scale delegation to congratulate, which was actually to ask for 500,000 taels.

500,000 taels of silver cloth tea, although it is not worth mentioning for the Great Song Dynasty, is already a huge amount of money for the Western Xia, which has a population of less than two million.

This year, the deputy envoy of the Western Xia mission is Woli Tsu, that is, the second person of the Woli family, who is a brave and invincible berserker, who fights with red hair and red eyes, and is known as "Demon Dragon Clan".

He has a stout appearance, but his heart is indeed fiery and cruel, and the anger in his chest cannot be stopped. Because the Wori family was carefully placed in the side branch of Tokyo, Woli Iwajun and the elite guards actually died in one day.

Ten years of hard work has been completely wasted, and as the number two person in the Woli family, he definitely can't swallow this breath.

The matter started entirely because of the recruitment of the mountain battalion, and he must be punished, especially Lin Chong, who killed Woli Yanjun, must die!

In fact, the Demon Dragon is not unaware that the Sanyadian Marshal's Mansion is the biggest black hand behind it, but because of the cooperative relationship, and the other party's status and power are not something he can afford to provoke.

Therefore, in order to get back on the field, the Demon Dragon had no choice but to take the mountain camp and Lin Chong to open the knife.

The army of 2,000 displaced people has just been recruited, and it is estimated that even the houses have not been built in the barren grass beach. As long as you are cautious, you can send a hundred or so soldiers at most, and you can kill him all over the field.

He set his eyes on the escort along the way to Tokyo this time, it was still the ace of Western Xia - Iron Harrier!

As an invincible elite cavalry Iron Harrier, there are too many legends among the folk of the Northwest. What is a hundred miles of non-stop, thousands of miles of continuous attacks, since the founding of the army, there is no opponent that cannot be defeated.

The Demon Dragon is waiting for the captain of the mission guard to seal the West Spring, and only he has the right to mobilize the Iron Harrier.

This time, there are two hundred Iron Harriers accompanying him, and he will be given some benefits, and it should be no problem to borrow half of them. Anyway, when I set out at night and returned at dawn, I did it without knowing it, and everyone was happy.

"Demon Dragon, why are you kind enough to ask me for a drink?" Someone outside the tent raised his voice and joked. "Isn't it a bad bar that's hard to swallow?"

Demon Dragon Ke did not show weakness, "Xiquan, you are such a bastard, you used to drink horse urine when there was no water, and now you dare to dislike so-and-so?" It doesn't matter if it's bad wine or not, you have to drink it for me today! ”
