Chapter 190: Western Xia

"What's the back......" Before Lu Yu finished speaking, Hu Shisiniang, the fox fairy who was a little "addicted" to listening to her father-in-law's storytelling, flashed her big watery eyes and asked.

"If the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom can kill the group of traitors of the Khitan Liao State within the Song Realm, then he can not only provoke the relationship between the Song and Liao countries, but also provoke the relationship between the Song and the Tubo State, after all, the group of traitors of the Khitan Liao State is to discuss with the Tubo State to go to others, if they are killed in the Song Realm, then ......" After smiling bitterly, Lu Yu said what he guessed, the "back hand" that the monarch of the Western Xia State might use.

"Well......" After listening to Lu Yu's analysis, the green ghost Ying Danxue, who had a "sense of mission", nodded heavily with a serious expression, and then, she scolded in a low voice with a little hatred: "The emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom, why is it so insidious......

"If you look at it from the standpoint of our Song people, the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom is indeed a sinister and cunning person, but if you look at it from the standpoint of our opponent the Western Xia Kingdom, the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom is nothing less than a Ming Monarch Holy Lord......" After listening to the words of the green ghost Ying Danxue, Lu Yu, who did not agree with her opinion, "refuted" her from the perspective of macro history.

In Lu Yu's view, the history of Chinese civilization is the sum of the history of all ethnic groups living in the "radiation circle" of Chinese culture, and although the Western Xia Kingdom is an enemy country of the Great Song Dynasty, it is also a country bathed in the "radiation circle" of Chinese culture, so its history is also a part of the history of Chinese civilization......

"Hmph......" The green ghost Ying Danxue, who is obviously completely different from Lu Yu's worldview, snorted directly dissatisfied after listening to Lu Yu's "nonsense", and after humming, she asked Lu Yu in a low voice: "Listen to what you mean, you seem to be very familiar with the current monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom......

"I know a little about ......" From the expression on the face of the green ghost Ying Danxue, Lu Yu, who could see her dissatisfaction at the moment, scratched her head and smiled awkwardly, and responded: "That...... The current monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom, surnamed Li Qianshun, his grandmother, mother and wife are all Han Chinese, and he himself is also proficient in our Confucian culture...... It's a monarch who is very sinicized......"

After changing his tone, Lu Yu continued: "Li Qianshun, the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom, his father, that is, Li Bingchang, the previous emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom, died early, and he burped at the age of twenty-six, so Li Qianshun succeeded to the throne as the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom at the age of three, after he succeeded to the throne, he reformed the rule of officials, reduced taxes, built water conservancy, and persuaded farmers to teach agriculture, which increased the national strength of the Western Xia Kingdom by at least ten times.......

"It's just a ......" After finally hearing the "turning" from Lu Yu's words, the green ghost Ying Danxue thought that Lu Yu was going to start criticizing the Western Xia Kingdom, so she asked "excitedly".

"It's just that the foundation of the Western Xia Kingdom is too thin, even if Li Qianshun works hard to govern the country, but the Western Xia, after all, is a weak country built on the desert and mountains, the population is too scarce, and the land is too barren, even if the national strength of the Western Xia has increased tenfold on the original basis, but at this moment, the wealth of the Western Xia Kingdom is estimated to be far inferior to our Shu land, not to mention the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, which is ten thousand times richer than our Shu land...... Lu Yu shook his head lightly and answered the question raised by the green ghost Ying Danxue.

"Since the Western Xia Kingdom is so weak, why does it still insist on fighting with our Great Song Dynasty, doesn't its monarch Li Qianshun know that he is so bent on going his own way, and one day he will fight his family to the bottom, at that time, he will be the king of the dead country!" Finally, Mu Hanxiang, who had only listened to it for a long time, spoke incomprehensibly.

"Good question...... After praising his eldest daughter-in-law Mu Hanxiang first, Lu Yu replied faintly: "I personally think that Li Qianshun, the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom, actually doesn't want to fight, but if you don't fight, you can't do it, the reason is very simple, or because the land where the Western Xia Kingdom was founded is too bad, it is located on a desert plateau, and there is too little arable land, even if it is a country dominated by animal husbandry, the cultivation of grain is not so important in it, but animal husbandry is to see the sky and eat, Once there is a natural disaster that causes a large number of livestock to die, the people there will immediately have nothing to eat, or they don't want to starve to death, they have to kill the country and grab food to survive......" Lu Yu answered the question of his eldest daughter-in-law Mu Hanxiang in a tone of empathy.

"Oh......" After listening to his father-in-law Lu Yu's answer, Mu Hanxiang, who was very satisfied with this answer, nodded in response.

"Although the national strength of our Great Song Dynasty has continued to weaken under the continuous consumption of internal and external troubles, but, in the past few decades, in the war with the Western Xia, we never seem to have been defeated, after all, compared with our Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia, is too weak, think about it, this point, the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom, Li Qianshun, is also clear, so he can only come to the trick when he can't fight with our Great Song Dynasty, for example, provoke other countries to do it with us, over time, Li Qianshun, Just play this trick of sowing discord to the realm of perfection, so, from the standpoint of our Song people, Li Qianshun, the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom, does look quite insidious......" Mu Hanxiang finished speaking, and Lu Yu made a concluding remark.

"Xianggong ......" Just when Lu Yu thought that this topic had been finished and he could start a new topic to talk about family affairs, Hu Shisi Niang, who had not yet had a good time, suddenly asked: "Xianggong, you just mentioned that Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the Liao State, and Li Qianshun, the monarch of the Western Xia State, will send people to hunt down and kill the group of traitors of the Liao State, where do you think they will do it?" ”

"Good question...... "After admiring his second daughter-in-law, Hu Shiniang, and praising her high IQ, Lu Yu replied with a look of "bamboo in his chest": "The best place to exterminate them is here, this is this endless peak......

"Why?" After listening to Lu Yu's answer, Hu Shiniang, who was "high IQ", naturally nodded in approval, but Ying Danxue, a green ghost who was not so high in IQ, could only ask Lu Yu.

"The reason is very simple, because, this place of Wuya Peak is too suitable for killing, here, there is only one way down the mountain, as long as that road is blocked, then kill people, hum ......" After raising her left eyebrows towards the green ghost Ying Danxue, Lu Yu replied to her.

"Hmm......" After Lu Yu finished speaking, the green ghost Ying Danxue nodded heavily and snorted, obviously, she recognized the answer given by Lu Yu, but she still had doubts in her heart, "Then Lu Gongzi, do you think that the group of Khitan traitors who were hunted down and killed clearly know their situation at the moment......"
