Han Zhongyan escorted Li Bingchang back to the Great Song Dynasty.

It was really unexpected by the Great Song Dynasty, and the entire government and the opposition were in a state of excitement, and all the old people said that it was different, it was indeed different.

It doesn't cost a single soldier to force the lord of the Western Xia to come to pay tribute, and the Tianwei of the Great Song Dynasty is really incomparable.

Everyone felt that there was a light on their faces, and it was really interesting to watch the little guy look trembling together...... Han Zhongyan was a little worried. He didn't expect that the Liang brothers and sisters would really be able to hand over Li Bingchang, a child less than five years old, a long journey, is indeed full of danger.

There was no way, he could only arrange the best manpower, use the most comfortable carriage, and prepare a lot of toys and various delicacies in the car to appease the little one.

In this way, it took almost two months for Li Bingchang to arrive in the Great Song Dynasty.

In order to welcome, the Great Song Dynasty sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to receive Li Bingchang and settle him in his mansion in the capital. After meeting Zhao Shu, he was also given a special gift to study in the Royal Academy.

Anyway, Li Bingchang is still a child who doesn't understand anything, and there is no need for Da Song to be angry with him...... As long as the little guy is obedient, he can give him a Taiping prince and enjoy wealth and prosperity, as for Xixia, it is not something he can manage.

Wang Ningan can see that the reason why the Liang family gave Li Bingchang to the Great Song Dynasty is actually to bully the party and no one...... Maybe they feel that they can already control the Western Xia by relying on their own skills, and after a few years, even if there is no emperor in hand, they can ascend the throne and master the Western Xia by themselves.

I have to say that the abacus played very shrewdly.

But Wang Ningan would not let them go, and after forcing Xixia to hand over Li Bingchang, Wang Ningan sent another envoy and sent a list to Xixia.

Li Bingchang's mansion in Beijing arranged for him to enter the Royal Academy to study, taught him civil and military skills, and let him receive the best education in the world...... It costs to broaden your horizons and learn from the best civilizations...... In a word, in order to make Li Bingchang comfortable, the Western Xia side should give up Youzhou as a way to support the emperor's daily expenses.

This request was made, and Western Xia was completely furious.

Including the Liang brothers and sisters, they couldn't sit still.

Are you kidding!

They are willing to bow their heads and be emperors, and they are willing to hand over Li Bingchang, don't they just want to exchange face for lining...... Keep the territory of Western Xia!

If Youzhou is let out, it is equivalent to picking up the east gate of Western Xia, and Xingqing Mansion is directly exposed to the iron cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no barrier at all.

Of course, Liang did not agree, Liang Yibury immediately instigated Li Chengwei, the prison state, to send a letter of state to the Great Song Dynasty, praying that the Great Song Dynasty could raise his noble hand, their words were very humble, but their attitude was very resolute, and Youzhou could not let him live or die.

"If you don't let them, you can't help them!"

Wang Ningan immediately ordered that he sent a three-way army, including 50,000 family troops, 30,000 people and horses who did not hide and carry forward, and 10,000 forbidden troops, guarding the artillery and marching towards Youzhou.

20 days later, outside the city of Youzhou, 100,000 horses of the Great Song Dynasty gathered. 500 artillery pieces, aimed at Youzhou City, as long as an order, the artillery fire will be fired in unison, and the jade will be burned!

The two sides were in a stalemate for 3 days, and just before the expiration of the Great Song Dynasty's ultimatum, the gate of Youzhou slowly opened.

The soldiers were bloodless, and the Song army took Youzhou.

With the fall of Youzhou, the entire Hengshan line, from east to west, nearly two thousand miles, all fell into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty...... Around Youzhou, there are tens of millions of acres of grassland, and this piece of fat fell into his hands, and the planters who were still making trouble were instantly relieved.

These pastures can be given to them for settlement.

In fact, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty had already taken action.

With a large amount of cash, they found the soldiers of the Plantation Army, and as long as they nodded and were willing to rent out the pasture, they would receive a good remuneration every year, and they could sit back and enjoy the results without any effort.

Of course, they are willing to work harder and raise cattle and sheep themselves, so they can naturally earn more.

In addition to the grassland, there are also abundant iron ore, coal mines, and many salt lakes on the first line of Hengshan, which can produce high-quality green salt...... You must know that green salt is the fist product of Western Xia, and it was once popular in the Great Song Dynasty.

Now it has all fallen into the hands of Da Song.

With the participation of capital, all these resources have been revitalized, and Youzhou alone, as well as the surrounding land, can bring millions of yuan of income to the Great Song Dynasty.

Not to mention that it is used to support Li Bingchang, even if this child is given a golden palace, it is more than enough.

Wang Ning'an's strategy is already obvious, that is, the whale swallows and encroaches, and will never give Xixia a chance to breathe.

Occupying Youzhou and developing eastward, Yinzhou, Xiazhou, and Shizhou were all among Wang Ning'an's co-optation and division, and he actively bribed the local party nobles, and forced them to surrender under the banner of Li Bingchang.

If they don't come to their senses, they will be sent to clean them up.

In just a few months, the Jianing Military Division, the Xiangyou Military Division, and the Shenyong Military Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia all fell into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and the forward of the Song Army was pushed to the Mu Us Desert.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Mu Us Desert was still a land of abundant water and grass, and it was once the core area of the Xiongnu...... It was not until the early Tang Dynasty that overgrazing caused land degradation and desert appeared, and later the desert became larger and larger, seriously affecting the local development.

Wang Ningan has no intention of spending great effort to control the desertification, what he values most is the location here.

As long as you pass through the Mu Us Desert, to the north, you can directly take the Hetao, to the west, it is the capital of Western Xia, Xingqing Mansion, and to the east, it is Yunzhou of Liao.

Destroying Western Xia and recovering Yunzhou, these two things are all on the agenda.

Wang Ningan felt that he had to speed up his preparations.

He once promised Zhao Zhen that he would not be in charge of the political hall for a long time, he would only work for five years at most, and then he would return power to His Majesty and hand over the political hall to others to be responsible.

This is Wang Ningan's promise, and now that almost half of the time has passed, Wang Ningan also wants to do a little big career and draw a perfect end to his career as a ruler.

Therefore, Wang Ningan instructed the Royal Bank to issue 30 million bonds, and mobilized all forces to prepare for the battle to destroy Xia...... Just when Wang Ning'an was actively preparing, a new situation also appeared on the Western Xia side.

The emperor sent it away, Youzhou, Yinzhou, and Xiazhou also fell, and the land of Western Xia was only one-fifth of what it was in its heyday, and the number of troops was only one-third.

The Great Song Dynasty was overwhelmed by strong troops, and it was not far from the death of the country.

But the Liang brothers and sisters in power still think about their own power, constantly appoint private individuals, suppress the nobles of the party, and are deaf and incompetent, to the point of anger and resentment!

"Lord Jianguo, you have to stand up!"

There were a few old ministers of Western Xia who couldn't help but find Li Chengwei, and they knelt in front of Li Chengwei and wept bitterly.

The Lord of the Prison Country, as if he had just woken up, barely opened his drunken eyes, he was full of alcohol, and he was puzzled: "If you have something, you can find the Minister of State and the Queen Mother...... Lonely, the lone king doesn't understand anything! ”

"Lord Prisoner! Why do you embarrass us when you say that...... Great Xia is dead, the country is gone! ”

Li Chengwei was at a loss in fear, "This, this, where do you start...... Don't scare me, you, what do you want me to do? ”

"Prison country, immediately pacify the Liang family, and kill the brothers and sisters who have brought disaster to the country and the people!"

"Ahh

Li Chengwei's face turned pale with fright, and in a hurry, he actually knocked over the chair behind him, and he also rolled on the ground, not to mention how embarrassed he was.

"How can it be so, how can it be so!"

Li Chengwei was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back, and while running, he said, "Don't commit any offense, don't commit offense below......

Several old ministers are ashamed and want to die, is this still Li Yuanhao's younger brother!

The same brothers, why is there such a big difference?

In a fit of rage, a few old guys wiped their necks in the prison mansion, blood splattered three feet, and they didn't blink to death.

After this happened, Li Chengwei fell ill with fright, and then ordered the mansion to be closed, and no one was seen again, and I heard that he also cried and wrote a letter to the Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yiburi, saying that he didn't want to interfere with the prison country anymore.

Liang Yibury had to run to appease him, Li Chengwei cried so much, just like dough, he had no backbone at all, and now, Liang Yibury is completely relieved.

There is no one in Western Xia, and the one who is really worth fearing is the Great Song Dynasty.

Damn Wang Ning'an, gave him Li Bingchang, and gave away so much land, this guy is still unwilling, is he really going to drive people to a dead end?

Liang Yiburi felt that in the face of the Great Song Dynasty, since he couldn't fight, he had to retreat, and if he couldn't do it, he would give up Xingqing Mansion, but there was a premise that all the power must be in his hands, and he could say one thing or another.

Liang Yibury decided to completely abolish the Han rites and restore the old party rites, so as to win over the party nobles and try to counter the influence of the Great Song Dynasty with Fanhua.

In addition to this, he also stepped up the pace of seizing power, especially military power.

Liang Yifu decided to let Liang Yifu control the army, before the military power was in the hands of Du Luo Wei, this person was equivalent to the privy envoy of Western Xia, he once had an affair with the Empress Dowager Liang, and later the Empress Dowager Liang fell in love with the younger Meng Meng, and Du Luo Wei was left aside...... This guy didn't show much rebellion, and the Liang family didn't take him seriously.

Liang Yibury just called him over, and talked about the matter with him at the wine table, but Du Luowei didn't say anything, and agreed very casually.

But after going back, Du Luowei was completely angry!

Okay, you shameless Liang family, you will tear down the bridge after crossing the river, without the support of Lao Tzu, can you hold the power steadily? I still want to deprive Lao Tzu of his military power, Lao Tzu and you are not finished!

Just as he was going crazy, someone suddenly reported that the Lord of the Prison had arrived.

Li Chengwei changed his previous obscene and cowardly, his expression was serious, and he grabbed Du Luowei's arm, "General, the Western Xia has already died...... We are all sinners who have lost the country, what face do we have, go to see the first emperor, see Emperor Jingzong! ”

Du Luowei's old face turned red, "Lord Prisoner, the last general is wrong, the last general should die!" ”

"General, now is not the time to regret it, it's time for us to fight back!" Li Chengwei coughed and said: "The old man is not young anymore, and his body is not ready, after the Western Xia Dynasty, he will have to rely on the general!" ’

Du Luo Wei was finally moved, "Prison country, Liang Yi bury wants to relieve me of my military power, and it is time to fight with them, I will go to transfer troops, and I hope that the prison country will help me!" ”

"The general can rest assured, it is the duty of the old man to uphold the right and dispel the evil!" Li Chengwei smiled cruelly.

That night, 5,000 elite people secretly entered Xingqing Mansion and headed for the Prime Minister's Mansion......
