Chapter 522: Joy and Challenge

After Wu Yashi left, Zhao Shuo asked people to find Zhang Chujiu, and then explained to him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he had probably guessed why Wu Yashi was like this, he still planned to investigate it thoroughly in order to confirm that he was wrong.

Zhao Shuo was busy investigating Wu Yashi's affairs, and the news of his dispatch of troops had spread to Western Xia and Western Liao.

After learning that Zhao Shuo was going to send 300,000 troops to rescue Western Liao, Western Xia immediately agreed to Western Liao's request and sent an army of 100,000, led by Li Yuanhao himself, to Western Liao to resist Mongolia first.

There is no way for Western Xia to do this.

Western Xia doesn't need Zhao Shuo, compared to Mongolia, it is too weak.

Li Qianshun was dissatisfied with the Mongol attack on Western Liao, and he was worried about the future of Western Xia.

And now, Zhao Shuo promised to send troops, and his courage suddenly became bigger, so he had the initiative to send 100,000 troops to rescue Xiliao.

Sending 100,000 troops to Western Liao, saying that it was a rescue, was actually to delay the speed of Mongolia to take Western Liao. Li Qianshun knew very well that relying on Western Xia and Western Liao alone, even if he concentrated all the large armies, it would be impossible to withstand the Mongol army.

But Western Liao can't be lost, after all, if Western Liao is destroyed, then the western gate of Western Xia will be completely exposed to the Mongols.

But the loss of too many soldiers, Li Qianshun couldn't bear it. After all, after defeating the Mongols, the relationship between Western Xia and Western Liao is likely to become the previous hostile relationship again.

After thinking about it, Li Qianshun made the decision to send an army of 100,000. These soldiers and horses can not only delay the Mongol army for a while, but after some losses, they will not have too much impact on the strength of the entire Western Xia.

Moreover, before sending Li Yuanhao out, Li Qianshun was ready to talk to him. informed Li Yuanhao of his opinion. Regarding Li Qianshun's point of view, Li Yuanhao also agreed with both hands.

Western Xia sent troops to rescue, but Western Liao was resisting to the death at the moment. For them, at this moment, they really responded to that sentence, repeatedly defeated, defeated again and again.

When Yelu Dashi learned of the Mongol attack, he immediately sent an emissary. And explained to the envoy that he would go to Western Xia first, and then go to Chang'an.

The reason for this is because Yelu Dashi knows very well the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. Mongolia is strong, if the Western Liao is destroyed, then the situation of the Western Xia will definitely not be much better.

Therefore, Yelu Dashi asked the envoy to go to Western Xia first, and he believed that Li Qianshun would definitely send it to help.

And after the Western Xia helped, they could hold off Mongolia and give the Western Liao a respite. With this time, the envoy could reach Chang'an and ask Zhao Shuo to send troops.

Yelu Dashi is ready to be slaughtered, after all, the country has reached this point, and it is not realistic to let Zhao Shuo send troops without some blood. After all, Zhao Shuo is not the same as Western Xia. Even if Xiliao died, Zhao Shuo would not feel distressed.

This is what Jerodashi thought.

But what Yelu Dashi didn't expect was that it had been many days since the messenger was sent, and there was no news at all.

It is said that it is normal for Zhao Shuo to have no news on his side, but on the Xixia side, there should have been news a long time ago.

There was no news for a long time, which made Yelu Dashi sit on pins and needles. After several heavy defeats, his generals and soldiers were demoralized.

In the ensuing battle, as long as it touched the Mongol army, it was completely crushed at the first touch. That's what happened, the sentence of repeated defeats, repeated defeats.

You can't fight without fighting, and you can't fight with war.

"Damn it!" Yelu Dashi paced, his face gloomy. "Could it be that Western Xia really wants to sit back and watch my Great Liao fall?"

"Your Majesty, a good thing, a good thing!" Xiao Tianyan ran in at this time.

Seeing that Xiao Tianyan was sweating profusely and panting, Yelu Dashi walked in tightly, came to Xiao Tianyan, and asked urgently. "Prime Minister, did we win the war? Or did the Mongols withdraw their troops? ”

In Yelu Dashi's heart, only if he won the Mongol army, was he happy. Only such a happy event can make Xiao Tianyan, who has always been old, lose his temper to such a point.

Xiao Tianyan gasped and waved his hand.

Yelu Dashi frowned and thought about it, and then said. "Does Mongolia want to negotiate peace? How much land do they want to separate us? ”

Xiao Tianyan no longer had any hope for Western Xia and Zhao Shuo, and all his concerns were focused on Mongolia.

"Lee In-hyo?" Yelu Dashi was taken aback, but Xiao Tianyan shook his head, relieved his breath, and said. "It's not Mongolia, it's Chang'an......"

Yelu Dashi grabbed Xiao Tianyan. "King Song promised to help us?" After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong. "The envoy shouldn't have arrived in Chang'an yet, why did King Song send troops to help?"

"It was Li Renxiao, the prince of Western Xia, and a friend of mine who came forward to persuade him, and it is said that the reason used was to maintain the stability of the Silk Road." After Xiao Tianyan gasped, he spoke.

Yes, what was even more surprising was the identity of another person. "And a good friend of the Prime Minister?"

Seeing that Yelu Dashi was like this, Xiao Tianyan told the news he heard, and then explained to Yelu Dashi.

"King Song wants to send 300,000 troops to rescue my Da Liao, God really helps me." Jerodashi prayed earnestly to the heavens, and then said. "I didn't expect that the prince of Western Xia actually went to Chang'an to study!" After a pause, he continued. "Also, the prime minister has a good hand of chess. This friend must not be treated badly, and must be well maintained. ”

After finishing speaking, Yelu Dashi's happy face showed a solemn expression again. "Even if the King of Song decides to send troops to help us, but the King of Song's army has mobilized 300,000, and after preparing grain and grass, and when everything is ready, we may not be able to carry it for a long time."

After listening to Yelu Dashi's words, Xiao Tianyan said. "Your Majesty, there is one more piece of good news."

"Prime Minister, come on!" The great stone statue of Yelu asked urgently, as if grasping at the straw.

"Xixia sent 100,000 troops, led by Li Yuanhao, and has already set off, and it will enter our Daliao in a few days." Xiao Tianyan said.

"Good, good!" Yelu Dashi breathed a sigh of relief. "With the 100,000 army of Western Xia, maybe you can really survive until the arrival of King Song's army."

"Your Majesty, there is a proposal from the Western Xia side, which is also from the Chang'an side." Xiao Tianyan said.

"Mowing the land? And the money? "Yelu Dashi knows very well that there is no such thing as a free lunch. As soon as Xiao Tianyan opened his mouth at this moment, he asked with a wry smile.

"It's not land cuts, it's not military pay." Xiao Tianyan denied Yelu Dashi's words before explaining. "It takes time for the army of King Song to assemble, and it takes even more time to prepare grain and grass, and we can't afford to wait for the current situation in Daliao. Therefore, on the Western Xia side, there was also Zhao Shuo who made a suggestion, that is, the King of Song sent troops, and the Western Xia and my Daliao were responsible for the grain and grass along the way. ”

"That's it!" Yelu Dashi frowned. The current Western Liao has been beaten to the ground, and grain and grass are also the most scarce, and it is a big challenge for the Western Liao to supply 300,000 troops of grain at once.
