At this moment, Lin Zhao is on the way to Suizhou!

During the period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Suizhou belonged to the Western Xia, was an important border town at the junction with the Northern Song Dynasty, and was also the bridgehead for the Western Xia to invade the Song Dynasty.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Dangxiang people originally lived on the Tibetan Plateau, but they were oppressed by the Tubo people and their situation was miserable. Therefore, they applied to the Tang Dynasty for annexation, and the Tang Dynasty Emperor Renyi also agreed.

For the first internal migration, the Dangxiang people moved to Songzhou (Songpan, Sichuan), which was located at the junction of the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, and the natural conditions may have been more suitable for the nomads. Of course, it is estimated that the Tang Dynasty was also worried that the party members would be restless, and a complete internal relocation would lead wolves into the house, so they were a little wary.

In Songzhou, the life of the party item was not easy, with the strength of Tibet, the continuous encroachment and invasion to the east, the party people could not stay. This time, the Tang Emperor was very benevolent and righteous, and let them move to Xiazhou in the northwest. That is, during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the area around Tongwan City built by King Helian Bobo.

At that time, the situation in Xia was fine, and although there were Uighurs and Turks, the situation was much better than that of Songzhou. The party members then began

Recuperate and grow slowly. Their leader is the Tuoba clan, perhaps because the Tang Dynasty gave them a place to live, so they are grateful to the Tang Dynasty and have always been very loyal. Of course, I think it's because their strength is limited, they don't have the qualifications to compete with the Tang Dynasty, and they don't dare to be overly arrogant. For hundreds of years, the party people have continued to grow and develop here, and they have not taken advantage of the opportunity to expand the land.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty began to decline, especially in the late period, Jiedu made the army self-respecting, and the turmoil was one after another. Uprisings also came and went, such as the famous Huangchao Uprising.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was also in danger, and fled to Shuzhong several times to avoid trouble. Many times, with the strength of the Tang Dynasty itself, it was impossible to recover the lost territory. There is a weak heart. At this time, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty moved the idea of borrowing troops from the nomads.

For example, during the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty borrowed troops from Hui in order to recover Chang'an and Luoyang. Of course, borrowing troops comes at a price. The Tang Dynasty agreed, and after the recovery of the two capitals, they let the Hui people loot for three days, and the children's wealth and silk were allowed to be looted. It can be seen that in many bad and dark periods in ancient history, it is always the common people who are hurt.

There was more than one thing about borrowing troops. Later, party members were also seconded. In March of the first year of Tang Zhonghe (881 AD), Tuoba Sigong, the leader of the Dangxiang clan, led the people of the Qin Wang, personally led the sharp soldiers to fight with the Huangchao army, and Tang Xizong named Tuoba Sigong as the general of Zuo Wuwei. And the right to Xia Sui Silver Festival to do things. In August, Tang Xizong issued an edict and officially appointed Tuoba Sigong as the envoy of Xia Suijie, with jurisdiction over Xiazhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou, Youzhou, and Jingzhou. In December, the edict gave Xiazhou as the Dingyan Army. In July of the third year of Zhonghe (883 AD), Tang Xizong named Tuoba Sigong as the Duke of Xia. And gave the surname Li. From this point on, the five states and party members officially stepped onto the stage of history.

Suizhou is one of them, and it is here that Western Xia gradually developed and grew. Especially in the next five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the Central Plains Dynasty can be described as a chaos. There is no time to take care of the five states of Dingnan far in the northwest. The party members have seized the opportunity and become more and more powerful, which cannot be underestimated.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, although the five states of Dingnan nominally respected the Northern Song Dynasty royal family in Bianjing, in fact, they listened to the tune and did not listen to the propaganda, and it was almost a completely independent small kingdom, which was more than the Jiedu at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Taizu and Taizong of the Song Dynasty also wanted to use troops against them, but the situation in the northwest was too complicated at that time. The Northern Han Dynasty still stands majestically in the east of the river. There is a Khitan behind his back. The strength should not be underestimated. Because it can threaten the land of Hebei, it is the first major problem of the Great Song Dynasty to eyeing the land of Guanzhong and Henan across the Yellow River.

So. For a period of time at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, in addition to destroying the southern countries, the most important opponent of the Northern Song Dynasty in the Northern Song Dynasty was the Northern Han Dynasty. The Taizu period was not successful, and it was not until the Taizong period that the Liu regime of the Northern Han Dynasty was eradicated in one fell swoop.

Further to the northwest, there are the five states of Dingyan, Fuzhou Zhejia, Linzhou Yang family, the tradition of five generations is still there, are not completely attached to the Great Song Dynasty, at that time there were Tubo tribes, the situation can be said to be complicated. It is impossible to use troops in the northwest on a large scale.

It is precisely because of this that the five states can survive in the cracks and continue to grow. At the same time, they felt that the Northern Song Dynasty was helpless against them, which also fueled their arrogance.

It was at this time that there was an outstanding leader Li Yuanhao in Western Xia. He led the Northwest to gradually grow and became the largest political power in the Northwest.

Li Yuanhao knew very well that the situation of the five states was very embarrassing, and if he wanted to survive for a long time, he must expand his living space, and only by expanding his territory could he establish a country.

To the east are the Fuzhou Zhejia and Linzhou Yang families, as well as the Guanzhong land of the Great Song Dynasty, and rashly sending troops will inevitably cause a strong backlash from the warlords and the Northern Song court.

The direction of expansion can only be the west, and since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the land of Hexi has been separated from the Central Plains Dynasty and can be regarded as a terra nullius. Moreover, under the Qilian Mountains in the west of the river, the land is fertile, and there is snow water irrigation, which is the country of abundance in the desert in the northwest. If it can be obtained, the strength of Western Xia will inevitably have a very good improvement.

But the trouble is that there is a Lingxia Road of the Song Dynasty in the middle, and this time Li Yuanhao did not hesitate. Because Lingxia Road is a place in the northwest of the Song Dynasty, it is not particularly closely related to the Song Dynasty, and even has a bit of an enclave feeling. The Northern Song Dynasty also attached very limited importance to it, and the possibility of attacking it was still some.

At that time, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was Zhenzong, and sure enough, he did not pay enough attention to Lingxia Road, and hesitated on many things such as defense and sending troops, which gave Li Yuanhao an opportunity. In the end, Lingxia Road fell into the hands of the party members, and it was difficult to take it back.

At that time, Lingxia Road was probably the Ningxia Plain of later generations, as we all know, the Yellow River Jiuqu nourished two rich lands, one is the Hetao Plain, and the other is the Ningxia Plain.

After the Dangxiang people obtained this fertile country of abundance, their strength increased greatly, and they continued to open up thousands of miles of land to the northwest. Finally, they had the strength of the Song Dynasty.

In 1038 AD, the first year of Song Baoyuan, Li Yuanhao brazenly proclaimed himself emperor and established the Great White Xia Kingdom.

It was only at this time that the Song Dynasty was really in a hurry, and hurriedly sent a large army to attack, but returned in vain. The final outcome was that the Song Dynasty gave the Western Xia a year, Li Yuanhao canceled the imperial title, and was canonized as the lord of Xia by the Song Dynasty, nominally a vassal of the Song Dynasty.

But in reality? Western Xia was like an independent country, and many times even nominal courtiers were unwilling to do it. What should have been their own land was lost, and the Song Dynasty was unable to regain it. And then pay the other party to nominally be a vassal to you, which sounds so funny.

It is said to be a reward, but is there actually any difference between it and the New Year's coin given to the Liao State? Redundancy was a long-standing problem of the Song dynasty and an element of its demise. Where is redundancy? Isn't that all there is to it? The weakness of the Northern Song Dynasty is vividly reflected in these places, and the development of a dynasty to this point is really embarrassing......

Lin Zhao is responsible for peace talks with Western Xia, so the relationship between Song and Xia must be understood clearly, when he sees the information sent by the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, plus some understanding of his previous life, Lin Zhao has that hatred in his heart!

The dignified Song Dynasty and the Heavenly Empire are too humiliating!

In any case, Lin Zhao is a bloody man, and when he looks at such a humiliating record clearly and completely, he feels very uncomfortable.

Such a situation must be changed, and the national sentiment in Lin Zhao's heart was involuntarily ignited. He felt that it was really difficult for him to continue to tolerate such a situation......

But what can you do if you are so small? Even as a peace envoy between Song and Xia, he was only responsible for the process and form of peace talks.

As for the issue of principle in the peace talks, Emperor Zhao Ji and the ministers of Bianjing have already made a decision, and they only need to implement it.

The focus of this peace talks is on the truce!

One sentence seems to expose the Song Dynasty's eagerness to stop the war, as well as the fear of war among the bigwigs in the DPRK and China. As for the other clauses, it doesn't seem like the posture of a victorious country, at least not so tough, it seems that Bianjing's confidence is still not firm enough!

Lin Zhao shook his head helplessly, if he wanted to change the situation of the Song Dynasty, it was definitely not something that could be done with a peace talk! It's definitely not something that an empty soldier can do. Even if you are full of ambition, but without power, everything is in vain. Lin Zhao's already strong power ** was ignited again......

This time, it can only be said that on the basis of the principles formulated by the officials and the ministers, they will strive for as many interests as possible, and this can only be the case. His most important purpose this time is to rescue Zhe Wenxin, and the rest can only be said separately......

As for the location of the peace talks, it was not good in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, nor was it good in the territory of Western Xia. After all, the fighting between the two sides has not yet ceased completely, and it is in a state of hostilities. Therefore, it is not very appropriate for the envoys to go to either side, and the most suitable place is to choose the border between the two countries.

At this point, Bianjing did not have a mandatory requirement, and completely agreed that it would be arranged by Lin Zhao himself. Lin Zhao thought about it, the Gyeongju side was a little too sensitive, and it was estimated that the Western Xia people intended to downplay the impact of Liang Yi's burial and capture, and would definitely not agree to be in Gyeongju.

Since what the Western Xia asked for was Suizhou, then Suizhou would be good and make peace talks on the border between the two countries. See what the reaction of the Tangut people was?

Lin Zhao temporarily left Gyeongju, and Jing Sili was in charge of staying behind. Although it is a peace negotiation, after all, the war is not over yet, and it is completely possible for the Tangut people to take the opportunity to sneak attack.

Lin Zhao escorted Liang Yi to Suizhou, because there was an important figure such as the prime minister of Western Xia, so he did not dare to slack off, lest he make a mistake on the way. Even in the land of the Great Song Dynasty, it is also not to be taken lightly, Wang Shao specially sent Liu Changzuo to lead an army of 3,000 people to accompany him and escort the left and right......

3,000 people marched towards the northeast and Suizhou......
