* After withdrawing his troops, he "hurried north, and he knew that the guards must give him a mess of the situation, waiting for him to clean it up." He broke away from the army and rushed back to Yanjing in early April. At this time, the Jin court was already in an uproar, and he knew that the situation had deteriorated further.

After Xiao Heda, an old Khitan minister, raised troops to rebel against Luàn, he was supported by Xu Wei of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and the Xia lord sent his maternal grandfather Ren Dejing to lead the troops to suppress it, but he returned in vain because of the intervention of the Western army. This is not counting, in addition to Xiao Heda, due to natural disasters in Western Xia, violent events broke out, and they were concentrated around Xingqing Mansion, the summer capital, directly threatening Li Renxiao's rule. The courtiers of the Jin State generally believed that if the Jurchens did not come to the rescue, the Western Xia would be swallowed up by the Luàn soldiers, even if they were not killed by Xu Wei.

Besides, Xu Wei pointed the soldiers to Yan Yun, and the side of the collapse allowed others to sleep soundly? This nail must be removed! Wushu feels like a big head when he thinks about it, and it's not easy to sort out these intricate things, let alone solve them? After intensive discussions, the Jin court formed several opinions.

The first was to take the diplomatic route and let the Song Emperor in Jiangnan suppress Xu Wei and order him not to allow him to handle Western Xia affairs. However, this method is estimated to be difficult to work, because the current emperor of the Southern Dynasty is young and vigorous, and he has made strong statements against Jin many times. Besides, Emperor Song is in Jiangnan, Xu Wei is in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the Song court is probably beyond the reach of the whip.

The second is to intervene by force, that is, the Dajin State directly sent troops into Western Xia to assist the party members to quell the rebellion. This method is certainly the most effective and the fastest, but Dajin Guo also has its difficulties. This time he sent troops to the south, not only did he return in vain, but he also wasted a lot of money and food, and how could he afford to fight a big battle?

The third is a bit unbelievable to say, some Jin courtiers suggested that Western Xia was already like this, internal and external troubles, and it was useless to save it, so it was better to ...... Annexed it! Back then, the reason why Dajin chose the Great Song Dynasty as the next target after destroying Liao. The reasons are manifold. First of all, the Southern Dynasty was rich and had a head, and in the process of jointly attacking Liao, the problems that this prosperous dynasty had caused were fatal, and attacking it was both easy and beneficial. As for the Western Xia, although on the eve of the fall of the Liao State, it sent troops to rescue the Khitans, but after the fall of the Liao, it took the initiative to show weakness and became a vassal of the Dajin State, so it did not touch it. Now that the situation is already like this, instead of spending money and effort to save the party, it is better for me to take it myself.

The fourth type of supporter is the least, and that's not to ignore it. Because if Dajin sent troops to rescue, it would not only be laborious, but also face a frontal conflict with the Western Army, needless to say, it would definitely be a difficult battle to fight. Even if he wanted to annex Western Xia, the Purple Golden Tiger had now controlled Hengshan either through the Western Army or through Xiao Heda. Not only occupies a dangerous point, but also has a forward supply base, you know, the Hengshan area is not only dangerous, but also the most féi place in Western Xia. Xu Wei directly or indirectly controls this area, and what awaits the Jin army is bound to be a series of troubles!

The Wushu himself prefers to intervene by force, but the reality in front of him makes him a little discouraged. The army went south with high morale, returned north in despair, and now pulled it to Western Xia to fight for others, which was a blow to the morale of the soldiers. Besides, what about logistics in the summer battle? The Hengshan region, the most féi in Western Xia, has lost control, and it is impossible to supply from the party members, so they can only rely on themselves.

The most terrible thing is that Xu Wei now controls Linfu Road, and if the Jin army wants to enter the summer, it must cross the desert! What month is it? April! By the time the troops were dispatched, at least in May, when the weather was hot and the desert was a ......

After countless quarrels, the Jin court came up with a compromise solution. Sending a large army into Western Xia to quell the rebellion for the party members was really a little powerless. It is better to send troops from Yanyun to attack Linfu Road, first, to combat the arrogance of the Western Army, and secondly, to Linfu, Xiao Heda will also suffer from the enemy on his back, and can only be a turtle in an urn. As for the civil uprising in Western Xia, they should be able to deal with it themselves, if the party can't even suppress the violence, it really doesn't make sense for us to save him.

After the discussion was decided, Wushu began to find the generals of various tribes, repeatedly stating the importance of aiding Xia and the danger of the Western army's occupation of Linfu to the Dajin Kingdom. So that these generals who have no fighting spirit and are unwilling to go out again can cheer up. But even so, the brave and fierce generals under his command in the past are still a little unhappy, they used to attack the Song Dynasty, which time they didn't make a lot of money, these few times, they didn't even catch a máo! Now I have to take care of the broken things of the party members......

In April of the eighth year of Jianwu, in order to thank the support of the Western Army, Xiao Heda gave Xu Wei a thousand war horses. This guy is a little too simple at times, but this thing is still well done, and he knows what the Western Army needs most. Today, the cavalry of the Western Army has reached 20,000. But this is not much, the 200,000 Western Army, only one-tenth of the cavalry troops, which is less than the Jin Army or even the Xia Army.

In addition, although there are also some horse-producing areas in Shaanxi, and by trading with the Tibetans, you can also buy a certain number of war horses, but this is not a cure after all. There is no stable production area of war horses, which must restrict the continued growth of the Western Army. Although Xu Wei has invested a lot of manpower, financial and material resources to develop firearms, he knows one thing. That is, this alone cannot complete the transformation from cold weapons to hot weapons.

Firearms can be used as killer copper, and they can be used as great miracles, but have you ever seen a master who is making a special move at any time? Therefore, he attached great importance to the construction of cavalry, and he dreamed of a horse production base.

And this base, not far from him, not far from the past of Xihe Road, there is a huge lake, later generations called it "Qinghai Lake", now it is called Xihai. The surrounding area here has produced good horses since ancient times, and Qinghai Cheng is even more famous all over the world. If this area can be captured, the Western Army will have a steady stream of war horses!

Renduoquan City was once an important stronghold for the Western Xia to resist the Great Song Dynasty and extend its hand to the horse-producing area. But now, Renduoquan City has been occupied by the Western Army, as long as Xiliangfu (now Wuwei, Gansu) is taken again, I dare not say that the problem of the Song Army's lack of horses has been solved, at least, it has been solved in the Western Army. Not only that, taking Xiliangfu is also an important step to open up the Hexi Corridor.

Because Xiliangfu goes west, it is Ganzhou Suzhou ~ Guazhou Shazhou Yigu yù and Menguan, and it goes directly to the Western Regions.

In the past, this goal was out of reach for the Western Army. But now it's different, the Western Xia is on a large scale, which gives the Western Army an opportunity to take advantage of! How could Xu Wei let go of this opportunity?
