Western Xia sent troops to rescue the Keree Department, which was really a bit sudden, and Zhao Shuo did not expect it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn Zhao Shuo's opinion, if Western Xia wants to send troops, he will inevitably talk to Zhao Shuo first. But now, no greetings were made, and Western Xia sent troops.

From the secret letter from Fuzhou, Zhao Shuo already knew that no matter which country sent troops, the Kereh Ministry could agree to any conditions except for cutting land, and even called the minister a tribute.

Western Xia suddenly sent troops at this time, did he plan to take the Kereh Department as his own?

Zhao Shuo was puzzled, and Wu Yashi and the others were equally puzzled.

After a while, though, Wu Yashi smiled. "Lord Wang, the dispatch of troops in Western Xia is a good thing in Xiaosheng's opinion."

"A good thing? Tell me about it!" Zhao Shuo looked at Wu Yashi.

"Lord Wang." Wu Yashi bowed. "Isn't it a good thing to let Xixia go on the road?"

"Trip?" Zhao Shuo already understood what Wu Yashi meant, he smiled helplessly and said. "If Western Xia defeats Mutuo and controls the Kereh Department, its strength will also increase greatly. There are military covenants and trade limits between us, and there will be no war between the two sides for a while, which is a good thing and a bad thing, especially a military alliance. The victory of Western Xia is gratifying, and their strength has increased, which is not good for us at all. If it fails, it's even more troublesome. ”

"What? Could it be that Mutuo would treat Western Xia as a beggar and directly send troops to attack Western Xia itself? Wu Yashi said with a little disdain. Western Xia is not a beggar tribe, their forces are not less than Mutuo's, if the two sides start a complete war, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose. ”

"Military division, the war is not a separate battle between one side and one side, this is related to many aspects, Xixia and Mutuo are both one of them, and the Kereh Department is also one side, in the future, maybe there will be other forces to join, so it is possible how the war situation develops in the future." Zhao Shuo didn't bother to explain in detail, just nodded slightly.

"Xixia and Mutuo are dead, even if other forces are joining, this is not a bad thing for us." Wu Yashi was still a little confused. "Lord Wang, isn't it good for us to reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

"Profiteering?" Zhao Shuo smiled bitterly. "The Western Xia has a military alliance with us, and if Mutuo really attacks the Western Xia, we will have to enter the war. Once Mutuo was destroyed, the Kereb tribe nominally submitted to Western Xia, but what happened later? What do you think will happen in the future? ”

Hearing Zhao Shuo say this, Wu Yashi pondered for a long time before he spoke. "In the future, the Kereh tribe will unify the steppe ......"

Wu Yashi was very uncertain, but Zhao Shuo gave a positive look. "Yes, the Kereh tribe will agree to the Mongolian steppe, and then, they will do the same thing as Mutuo and fight for world domination. That's what I'm afraid of. ”

"So, if Western Xia helps the Kereb to resist Mutuo, is it not good for us?" Wu Yashi asked.

"The Western Xia sent troops to help the Kereh Ministry, the Kereh Ministry belonged to the Western Xia, and we signed a military alliance with the Western Xia, so no matter what the Kereh Department did in the future, it would be no different from what the Western Xia did. And we, due to the limitations of the military covenant, could not stop the Kereh tribe at all, besides, the Kereh tribe unified the Mongolian steppe and did not attack us, so it is reasonable that we could not make a move. But what about reality? Zhao Shuo shook his head and sighed lightly. When the Kreb is strong, it will inevitably expand in all directions, and although we are not the first, we will not be able to escape sooner or later. ”

"This~!" Wu Yashi was a little anxious. "If that's the case, Lord Wang, should we send someone to Xixia?"

Zhao Shuo shook his head. "Let's see."

"Then we ......" Wu Yashi looked at Zhao Shuo with an inquiring expression.

"No troops for the time being, tell the envoys of the Kereh Ministry that after the border between Fuzhou and Prefecture is lifted, we can continue to trade." Zhao Shuo thought about it and said his plan.

Western Xia had already sent troops, and Zhao Shuo did not move, and at this time, there was also a discussion in the court of the Great Song Dynasty.

Speaking of which, it is very strange for the Great Song Dynasty to discuss the affairs of the Kereh Ministry at this time, because the envoy of the Kereh Ministry has not yet arrived.

The two sides of the discussion were Prime Minister Lu Yihao and Governor Qin Hui. Qin Hui set up the main army to send troops, and Lu Yihao resolutely opposed it.

"Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty is a big country, the Kelie Department is in trouble, the envoy has asked for help from the Western Xia, the King of Song, the Jin State, thinking of my Great Song Dynasty, must also be in its request for help, the minister desperately suggested, send troops to help the Kelie Department resist Mutuo, in order to show the might of my Great Song Dynasty." Qin Hui saluted and said.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Qin said is pure nonsense, the Kelie Department is in the northernmost part of Shenzhou, and it does not border my Great Song Dynasty, and my Great Song Dynasty should sit on the Tiger Fight at this time, sit on the benefits of the fisherman, and send troops is categorically impossible." Lu Yihao spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty was originally the overlord of the Central Plains, located in the south, it is really helpless, and now the northern melee is a good time for my Great Song Dynasty to rise. Our army took advantage of the Song land to help the Keree Department, and if we wanted to be the king of Song, there was no reason to refuse. After the departure of the army, it marched slowly, first, to observe the situation in the Song Dynasty and collect intelligence, and second, to reformulate the offensive strategy according to the degree of development of the war. Qin Hui said another purpose for sending troops.

"Qin Aiqing means ......" Zhao Gou squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Hui.

"Your Majesty, the army will move slowly in Songdi, check the intelligence, if Mutuo is defeated, our army will gallop to Fuzhou, enter the Hamuhei Mongolia, and earn the land of the Hamuhei Mongolia......"

Before Qin Hui could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Yihao. "Lord Qin, the northern grassland is a wasteland, even if you get it, what's the use. The labor expedition, for such a place, is completely a waste of money and labor, which is no different from the country. ”

"Your Majesty." Qin Hui ignored Lu Yihao, saluted Zhao Gou, and continued. "After earning the Hamblack Mongols, we set up a pawn in the north. The minister heard that the current Jin country is weak, and after our army stands firm in the Hamuhei Mongolian country, it can wait for the opportunity to attack the Jin country, and it will be shameful. ”

"Destroy the Kingdom of Jin!" Zhao Gou pondered.

"Your Majesty, after destroying the Jin Kingdom, my Great Song Dynasty has formed a situation of encirclement against the King of Song......" Qin Hui saw Zhao Gou hesitate, and clicked the third step.

Zhao Shuo is Zhao Gou's heartache, and he is now afraid that Zhao Shuo will compete with him for the throne one day.

If Zhao Shuo was self-reliant now, he would be able to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but Zhao Shuo regarded himself as the King of Song and had no movement to be self-reliant at all. But as the king of Song, his orders to the emperor are not dick at all.

In Zhao Gou's view, Zhao Shuo is like this, he is beating him, the idea of the Great Song Emperor. Now Qin Hui has proposed what kind of strategy, if it is successful, he can attack from the north and south to limit Zhao Shuo.

From this point of view, this is a strategy worth trying.
