From the first day of the first month to the fifth day of the first month, Zhao Chen has been inspecting the various armies of the forbidden army, and at the same time inspecting the situation of the production and construction corps, and he has almost no time to rest these days!

Wang Shu and Yu Yunwen have been following Zhao Chen's side, explaining to Zhao Chen the important things that have happened in the past year!

At present, the situation in Guanxi is becoming more and more dangerous, in addition to the Jurchens and King Kang, according to the information obtained by the intelligence department of the General Staff Headquarters, the Western Xia in the north is also ready to move! If Western Xia goes south, then Guan Shaanxi will face the danger of being attacked from three sides! According to the analysis of the General Staff Headquarters, the situation in the north is becoming more and more dangerous, and in such a situation, if Zhao Chen does not return in time, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen, Qu Duan, Yue Fei and others will have to make their own claims and find a way to deal with the Western Xia people!

"Is there any possibility of peace talks with Western Xia?" Walking on the snow, Zhao Chen said.

"I'm afraid it's hard to negotiate peace! In fact, we sent people to Western Xia last winter, but our people didn't see the Western Xia Emperor at all, and the ministers of Western Xia ignored us! Since the Western Xia were defeated by the Jurchens, they have been converging for the past few years, and we didn't expect that they would suddenly be ready to attack us! Yu Yunwen said.

"Western Xia ......," Zhao Chen groaned.

He was thinking about what happened in Western Xia during the Southern Song Dynasty, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of an answer! It seems that after arriving in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Western Xia did nothing, and the Western Xia did not participate in the history of the East Asian continent at all! It was not until after the rise of the Mongols that Western Xia was wiped out by the Mongols!

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Western Xia often invaded the northwest and fought against the Western Army! In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were few wars between the two sides!

In fact, in this magnificent era, Western Xia did not participate in the history of the East Asian continent! From the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty to the rise of Mongolia later, the Tangut people have been making internal strife on their own!

On the same day, the city of Kaifeng was broken, and countless officials in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty took refuge in Western Xia, one of them was called Ren Dejing! This person was originally just a general judge of the Great Song Dynasty, and his status was not high after he took refuge in the Western Xia, but he had a daughter who was extremely beautiful, and he dedicated his daughter to the then Western Xia Emperor Xia Chongzong! After that, his daughter was favored and became the queen of Western Xia at that time! After the death of Xia Chongzong, his daughter became the queen mother, and Ren Dejing was Feihuang Tengda, he became the Western Xia Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling until the Western Xia Prime Minister as a Han Chinese, and finally was named the "King of Chu" in the Western Xia! Ren Dejing's three younger brothers, one is the former lieutenant of the Xixia Palace, the other is the Yin of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Western Xia at that time, and the other is the Xuanhui envoy of the Southern Court of the Western Xia! Ren Dejing's sons and nephews have also held important military and political positions! After that, Ren Dejing forced the Emperor of Western Xia to divide half of the territory of Western Xia to him, and the country name was Chu! He held the military and political power in his hands, and the Western Xia Emperor had to agree! Then there was the struggle between the Western Xia Emperor and Ren Dejing! From Ren Dejing's refuge in Western Xia to Ren Dejing's death, for nearly fifty years, Western Xia was unable to look west! After Ren Dejing's death, the national strength of Western Xia was seriously depleted, and he was unable to go south at all!

This is the history of Western Xia after the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty!

At this moment, Zhao Chen thought about it for a long time, and couldn't think of what Western Xia did during the Southern Song Dynasty! At the moment he shook his head, now there is no history as a judgment, and he can only make his own judgment according to the current form!

"I'm afraid we have to use force against Western Xia!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Do you use force?" Zhao Chen frowned and said, "We don't have the conditions to start a war on three sides now!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Military Aircraft Department has formulated a battle plan, I think it is feasible!" Yu Yunwen said.

"When I get back, I'll take a look!" Zhao Chen said.

******

In the afternoon of this day, they had just returned to Wugong County, and Yue Fei came to report that the envoy of Western Xia had arrived in the morning and was waiting for Zhao Chen!

"Who is the envoy of Western Xia?" Zhao Chen said.

"It's the younger brother of the current Western Xia Emperor, Li Qianming, the king of the Western Xia Jin Dynasty!" Yue Fei said.

"Good! Let him come to me! Zhao Chen nodded and said.

At that moment, Yue Fei immediately informed, and not long after, an unusually richly dressed Western Xia man entered the county government under the protection of more than a dozen Western Xia warriors!

"Is this the palace of the emperor of the Song Dynasty? It's really shabby! It seems that the Song Dynasty is indeed not good! "The Xixia man is probably in his forties, he is not very tall, but he has a strong body! His face is full of beard, his hairstyle is unusually weird, a large piece of the top of his head is bare, but the hair on the front of his head has a bun, and the hair on both sides is also left, this hairstyle is somewhat similar to the Khitans! His face was full of flesh, and there was a fierce light in his eyes!

At this moment, his words were actually said in Chinese!

Since the founding of the Western Xia, it has changed from a nomadic people to a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural people in a hundred years, and the upper class of the Western Xia has already been completely sinicized! In the Western Xia, the Chinese language has replaced their own national language, and the costumes of the Han people are also extremely popular! The imperial court of Western Xia also implemented the imperial examination system, and they also had a temple of literature, and the statue of Confucius was also placed in the temple of literature, and their official positions in the court were almost exactly the same as those in the Song Dynasty!

At this moment, he brazenly said this, and the surrounding imperial camp officers and soldiers glared at him angrily, and he looked at these imperial camp officers and soldiers with disdain, and in the end, he even snorted and spat at these royal camp officers and soldiers!

Those officers and soldiers of the imperial camp were extremely angry, and if they were not limited by military discipline, they would definitely rush up to fight him in a duel!

"Han people! Cowardly and incompetent thing! Now I'll see the emperor of the Han people first! This Western Xia man is naturally Li Qianming, the king of Jin in Western Xia, and he laughed at this moment.

He strode forward, and when he came to the front room, he was about to take his men inside, but at this moment dozens of guards rushed over! These guards glared at them angrily with spears in their hands, Li Qianming snorted coldly, and immediately ordered his subordinates to stay here, and he strode into the house alone!

At this moment in the house, Zhao Chen, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen, and Yue Fei are all here, and their eyes are all on Li Qianming!

Under the gaze of the four people, Li Qianming's expression remained unchanged, and his gaze was swept for a while before falling on Zhao Chen's body! Zhao Chen was wearing a bright yellow costume, which was a dress that only the emperor could wear, and he immediately recognized Zhao Chen's identity!

"The emperor of the Han people, kneel down and take the order!" Li Qianming took out a holy decree from his sleeve and said loudly at the moment.

"What did you say?" Zhao Chen was stunned, and Wang Shu and the others next to him were also stunned!

"I said you, the Han emperor, kneel down and accept the will of our Western Xia Emperor!" Li Qianming snorted coldly.

"Get down on your knees?" Zhao Chen is simply unbelievable!

When the Jurchens had not yet invaded, Western Xia had always been a border trouble of the Song Dynasty! But the two sides have been fighting for a hundred years, and there have always been wins and losses. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Western Army even defeated the Western Xia many times and thwarted the Western Xia invasion! In terms of comprehensive national strength, the Northern Song Dynasty will definitely surpass the Western Xia! In any case, the status of the Northern Song Dynasty was above that of the Western Xia! The status of the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty and the emperor of the Western Xia has always been equated! But now, this Li Qianming has the holy decree of the Western Xia Emperor in his hand, and he actually wants Zhao Chen, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, to kneel down and answer it!

"Not bad! Get on your knees! Your Song Dynasty is no longer the original Song Dynasty, especially you, the little emperor, who now only have half of the original territory! You must now live on the breath of our Western Xia! Our emperor of Western Xia has sent a decree, shouldn't you kneel down and answer it? Li Qianming laughed.

"Good!" Zhao Chen showed a mocking smile on his face, he stood up, and Wang Shu and the others next to him stood up one after another.

"It seems that you, the Han emperor, are not very stupid and know how to kneel! Not bad! When the time comes, you will receive the holy decree of my Western Xia Emperor, that is, our Western Xia vassal country, and our Western Xia will protect your safety! Li Qianming laughed.

Zhao Chen walked forward, getting closer and closer to Li Qianming, and the smile on Li Qianming's face became more and more proud!

At this time, Zhao Chen suddenly raised his leg and kicked towards Li Qianming!

only heard a muffled sound, and Li Qianming fell to the ground! He couldn't believe that the emperor of the Han people dared to kick him! Did he think the Han emperor was crazy? Before he came, he had already inquired about the predicament faced by the Han emperor, and now the Han emperor was attacked by the Jurchen and King Kang, and in such a situation, if the Western Xia made a move, the Han emperor would definitely die! Under such circumstances, the Han emperor would inevitably bow down to his vassals, but now he dared to attack the noble prince of Western Xia!

"You're looking for death!" Li Qianming said angrily.

"Someone, beat him half to death, and then expel him! Those Western Xia warriors under his command were all killed, and not a single one was left! Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Are you tired of being alive?" Li Qianming said in horror.

At this time, the surrounding soldiers who were not accustomed to Li Qianming's style had already rushed over! This Li Qianming is the prince of Western Xia, he is pampered on weekdays, although his body looks strong on the surface, but how can he be the opponent of these soldiers who came out of the sea of corpses and blood! There was a constant scream in the courtyard below, it was the sound of the Western Xia warrior falling in a pool of blood!

"What is written in the decree?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty...... What is written here, Weichen really doesn't dare to say it! Wang Shu had already picked up the holy decree, he opened his mouth and said.

"Read!" Zhao Chen said.

"The Emperor of Western Xia asked us to bow down to them, let us cede Weizhou, Huanzhou, Qingzhou, Yan'an and other places, and let us give them 500,000 taels of silver every year as a New Year's coin! In addition, the Emperor of Western Xia asked His Majesty to ...... Calling him grandpa, he also asked Your Majesty to dedicate the queen to Western Xia! Wang Shu said.

"Damn it!" Zhao Chen was furious in his heart!

Don't say that Zhao Chen is angry in his heart, Yu Yunwen, Yue Fei, Wang Shu and others next to him are all angry in their hearts, this is an insult to the Great Song Dynasty, and an insult to the Han people! Zhao Chen is the emperor of the Han people, and in ancient times, this was the representative of the Han people, but the emperor of Western Xia dared to say such a thing, which was to look down on the Han people from the bottom of his heart! Although there was Ren Dejing's rebellion in Western Xia in history, but now Ren Dejing has just taken refuge in Western Xia, and the country in Western Xia is still stable, and now the strength of Western Xia is still extremely strong! The Emperor of Western Xia judged the current situation of the Han people and wrote such a holy decree, which is actually normal! In the history of the Song Dynasty, it was common for emperors to repeatedly call foreign emperors "uncle" and "grandfather", and Zhao Gou once called "uncle" to the emperors of the Jin Kingdom, which was just a means for foreign people to insult the Han people! It's a pity that Zhao Chen absolutely can't accept such an insult! What's more, there is also the so-called dedication of the queen! The queen is Zheyueru, how can Zhao Chen give it up?

"Your Majesty, the war against Western Xia is imperative!" Yu Yunwen said.

"But we still have King Kang and Jurchen in front of us! If we rashly start a war against Western Xia, and King Kang and Jurchen suddenly attack, we are not opponents! Now we don't have what it takes to fight the three together! Zhao Chen was silent for a long time and said.

"Your Majesty, we have discussed this matter many times! Since we found out last year that there are signs of a southward movement in Western Xia, we have been discussing! The General Staff Headquarters has also been formulating a battle plan for the current situation, Your Majesty can take a look! Yu Yunwen said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen nodded!
