Chapter 735: The whole country is excited

"Don't worry, do you?" Ever since Xu Wei went out, Zhang Jiujiu has been sitting on the chu-ng and waiting. As soon as her husband came in, she couldn't wait to ask.

Xu Wei pulled his belt and said: "It's nothing, the two armies of Song and Liao have broken through the Xia capital, and the Xia Lord has led the concubines and hundreds of officials to flee to Saibei, sleep." ”

He didn't take it seriously, but even Zhang Jiujiu's nv streamer, the F-Taoist family was also overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "So?" Isn't Western Xia ......?"

"Well, the yellow mud fell into the k-crotch, it's either dead or dead, and it can't turn over l-ng. Go to sleep. Xu Wei said casually, finished speaking, took off his boots and went on chu-ng.

In May of the first year of Song Xingxi, the Song-Liao coalition army broke through the Xia capital Xingqing Mansion, and the Xia lord fled, which can be regarded as a sign of the demise of Western Xia. Because Xingqing Mansion was not only the capital of Western Xia, after the fall of this place, Western Xia theory also had a large territory. But those are either wild places, or the yellow sand is full of sky, there is no city, and there is no household registration. With the sons, concubines, officials and a small number of troops taken away by Li Renxiao, how do you still want to restore the country?

Since the founding of Yuan Hao, who proclaimed himself the "Emperor of Great Xia", it has been passed to the current Li Renxiao, a total of one hundred and eight years. Although this western state is small and has few people, the harsh living environment sandwiched between the two big countries has forged its perseverance and bravery. It not only defeated the Liao State, but also reaped the benefits in the decades-long war with the Great Song Dynasty.

The military and civilians of Shaanxi naturally felt deeply about this, even if it was Xu Wei, when he arrived in Shaanxi, although the most prominent years of Western Xia had become history, he still remembered that the war between Song and Xia was repeatedly defeated, and the Great Song Dynasty was forced to give Western Xia New Year coins.

However, this sentence is not accurate, in history, the money that the Great Song Dynasty gave to Xixia to buy peace was not called "Year Coin", but "Year Gift", because Yuan Hao claimed to be the son of Emperor Song. Of course, his "son" is different from Shi Jingtang, who ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. If I call you Dad, the two countries will not fight, and you will have to give me a sum of money every year......

In short, Western Xia was once glorious, but that is a thing of the past. Before Xu Wei crossed, the Western Army had already captured the Hengshan area, the barrier of Western Xia, and if it weren't for the Fangla Uprising and Lianjin's destruction of Liao, Western Xia would have been finished long ago. From this point of view, it was the Great Song Dynasty before Xu Wei crossed over that laid the foundation for the destruction of Xia. Now he and the Khitans are just adding strength. Moreover, when the Western Xia was really back, natural disasters, internal and external troubles, occurred in the same period.

In June, news continued to come back from the front, just as Xu Wei had predicted. The Jin army, which withdrew overnight that day, did not flee back to the Jin country, but went all the way north to chase the Xia lord Li Renxiao. Then, Li Renxiao, including the Western Xia monarchs, clans, concubines, officials, and a small number of Xia troops, and a large number of property, were brought to the Jin Kingdom.

When the pursuers sent by Yelu Tiege learned of this, they chased wildly across the grassland and the desert, and chased them for more than 600 miles, and had many battles with the troops of the Jin army, almost killing them all, because they were about to arrive at the border of the Jin country, and the Liao army returned in a huff.

Xiao Weili, the marshal of the Liao army, who got the good news, was excited, because it had been agreed in advance that the land and cities that were defeated this time would belong to Da Liao. This also means that the Khitans have gained a foothold in the Yinchuan Plain. Combining the Hexi region, the Yinchuan Plain, and Xiao Heda's defense areas, the Khitans can be said to have advanced a large area to the east, which is undoubtedly very conducive to their eastward expedition and recovery

Of course, Xiao Lira didn't dare to forget that the Southern Dynasty made a lot of contributions here, especially the Western Army, especially Xu Wei. Therefore, he immediately sent an envoy to Xingyuan Mansion and invited Xu Wei to send someone to discuss the aftermath.

Although the land, the city, and the household registration all belong to it, but this time, the Song army still sent tens of thousands of horses, and the siege of the city and the village relied on the strength of the Jingyuan army, so you have to express it, right? I don't want the land city, but the hard money has to be paid, right? Not surprisingly, Xu Wei sent Ma Kuo as his plenipotentiary to Xiliang Mansion to discuss with the Khitans, while formally reporting the victory to the imperial court.

Imagine, the century-old grievances between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, in order to protect the territory and the people, in order to pacify the Western Xia, how many generations of Great Song kings have been exhausted for this, how many generations of civil officials and military generals have worked hard for this, and countless Kansai Han men have thrown their heads and spilled blood for this, and the money and food consumed can only be astronomical. This former enemy of the Great Song Dynasty has now been defeated by Song Liao, and the news has reached Jiangnan, what will be the scene?

Since the beginning of the Song and Jin wars, the Chinese people have become accustomed to humiliation, shock, and frustration, but also to joy, exhilaration, and jī movement. However, the meaning of the destruction of Xia was different from any previous military victory. For example, when the Western Army completely drove the Jin Army across the Yellow River and recovered the entire territory of Shaanxi, the news came out, and the whole country rejoiced.

But even if this great feat, its impact cannot be compared with the destruction of Xia. As soon as the good news arrived, Zhao Ding Xu Liang led hundreds of civil and military officials into the palace to congratulate Emperor Zhao Jin and Emperor Zhao Huan. The overjoyed Zhao Guanjia immediately decided to go to the Taimiao Temple to worship their ancestors and report the good news to their ancestors.

Subsequently, the imperial court finalized a series of celebrations and officially announced them to the world. Of course, those who are here have not forgotten the efforts made by the military and people of Sichuan and Shaanxi. At the suggestion of the minister, Zhao Jin ordered the division to count the great victories that Xu Wei had taken, and he won thirteen, and the emperor heard that he praised and said that "the prosperity of the border handsome's martial arts has not been seen in a hundred years."

Zhao Jin even wrote a letter to Xu Wei in person, which was a letter, not an edict. He praised Xu Wei solidly, calling him the pillar of the country and the Great Wall of the Northwest, and for the first time, Xu Wei's exploits were raised to a height, calling it "Sichuan-Shaanxi Dading, the West Thief can be leveled, and the Hedong can be restored, all thanks to Qingli", that is to say, these credits all depend on you.

The famous general Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty participated in the pacification of the history of An, and then fought in all directions, the Tang Dynasty enjoyed decades of tranquility because of him, and its prestige reached its peak. It means that although the world is mine, it is you who have made it again.

In such a martial dynasty as the Tang Dynasty, it was a rare occurrence for the emperor to praise the ministers so much. The Great Song Dynasty, who promoted literature and suppressed martial arts, could praise a military minister like this, which was unprecedented.

Encouraged by the destruction of Xia, and even more out of anger at the Jin army sending troops to aid Xia, the minister of the court shouted the slogan of the Northern Expedition, and this minister was not an ordinary person, but Prime Minister Zhao Ding. As we all know, Zhao Ding was a positive, or jī-jin, anti-war faction. This is a stubborn old man who does not have r-u sand in his eyes, nv real people dare to aid Western Xia, and even rob Xia Lord and Xia Chen, this matter must not be given up when the Jin army is tired of dealing with the west, Jinghu Jianghuai sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and returned my rivers and mountains
