Xingqing Mansion, Liang Yi was depressed to the extreme!

He could never have imagined that things would turn out this way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lingxia was inexplicably lost; When the counteroffensive was brewing, Li Bingchang died, and the most important winter was missed.

I thought that after surviving the spring, summer and autumn, when the cold winter came, there would still be a chance to counterattack again. Even if the Song people have already gained a foothold in Lingxia, it doesn't matter, it's just a little more effort.

But soon, the Zhuo Luo Military Division was lost again, and Hexi was already in danger.

With only one Ningxia Plain left, and a desert behind Helan Mountain, what else can Western Xia do? It is definitely not an easy task to re-emerge and restore the glory of the past.

At least he couldn't do it on his own, so Liang Yibu sent someone to Liao to ask for help early. It turned out to be a big surprise and was rejected. Yelujun, the prince of Liao, openly opposed!

Liang Yi is no longer able to vomit the bad, without Western Xia, how unbearable will the situation of the Liao State be, the short-sightedness of the Liao people, and so on. Everything is useless, people in Liaoguo just don't care.

Without foreign aid, the Xixia days are even more difficult, it is good to be able to survive, and it is simply a fool's dream to rise again.

But soon, Liang Yibury found that it was difficult to survive for a long time.

The terminally ill Wei Minglang Yu suddenly recovered, and he still raised his arms and sat in Xiliang Mansion, calling on all party nobles to rebel against their families. The effect is very good, the party and nobles have responded, and now the strength of Xiliang Mansion is on par with Xingqing Mansion.

What's worse is that there are still many party nobles in the capital, which are unstable factors. It is also the foundation of my own perseverance. Although unstable. But they didn't dare to suppress it.

The situation is precarious. Xingqing Mansion and Xiliang Mansion confronted each other, and Xixia, which was originally just a corner of the land, ended up in a situation of one or two points and endless infighting.

Luck, luck is so bad!

Liang Yi wants to cry without tears, he hates!

Even cursing and scolding Wei Minglang, the old man deliberately found fault and didn't look at the timing. Doesn't he know the reason why the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman? Now such infighting. In the end, it will only be cheaper for the Song Dynasty.

But what can be done now? At this time, it is impossible to convince Wei Minglang to meet him. The contradictions between the Liang family's relatives and the party nobles have been around for a long time, and now they are irreconcilable.

Liang Yibury also blamed himself, if he hadn't been defeated, if he hadn't suppressed the party nobles too much, the situation might not have been so bad.

For now, the only way to solve it seems to be only ......

"No way!"

As soon as Liang Yiburi spoke, she was loudly rejected by the Empress Dowager Liang, and she was very surprised. Brother's head show funny? What the hell was he thinking? He actually planned to resign and hand over the power of Western Xia to Wei Minglangyu?

"Sister. Only in this way can we calm the current turmoil, integrate the last of the Western Xia's forces, and unite to deal with the Song Dynasty, otherwise it won't be long before the Song Dynasty people will be defeated individually, and finally end up with the annihilation of the entire army. ”

It is rare for Liang Yi to have such a time to take into account the overall situation and be righteous, and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, it will be a death in the end, it is better to give up as soon as possible, and leave a chance to protect Western Xia and our children and grandchildren." ”

"No, absolutely not!" Empress Dowager Liang said resolutely: "Who is Wei Minglangyu?" They have some skills, but they are already in their twilight years, can they lead Xixia out of the predicament? If he were in power, would he let you and me go? ”。

"However, if this continues, sooner or later it will end up together!" Liang Yi buried and said: "Wei Minglang may be able to turn the tide and save Western Xia from danger, at least Qianshun can be safe and sound, and the throne of Western Xia can continue." ”

"Wei Minglang is Li Liangzuo's uncle, will he give up the throne himself and support his great-grandson as king?" Empress Dowager Liang shouted loudly: "Wake up, think about how to resist the enemy, how to protect our last inheritance, even if it is to fight to the death in the end, what can you do?" ”

With the death of her husband and son one after another, the situation in Western Xia is getting worse and worse, and the huge pressure makes Empress Dowager Liang, who is already a grandmother, a little depressed and a little manic.

At this moment, she is ready to break the net.

"Okay!" Liang Yibury thinks that his sister is crazy, why isn't he crazy? It's a crazy adventure to do, but what else can you do now?

Since the day they lost Lingzhou, they no longer have much choice to take the initiative.

……

……

In Mingsha City, Zhao Zhao stood on the bank of the Yellow River and said with emotion: "The desert is lonely, the sun sets on the long river, Wang Youcheng is honest and does not deceive me!" ”

Li Cheng echoed: "Such a grand scene, I should become a part of my great Song Dynasty!" ”

"That's nature!" Zhao Zhao asked, "Is Mingsha's troop deployment in place?" Has the messenger arrived? ”。

"The army of 50,000 is ready, and as for the envoy, he has already landed, and he will come to meet His Highness in a few days!"

"Okay, this king is waiting!"

The messenger came quickly, and it was a middle-aged man in his forties, named Wei Mingqi!

Zhao Zhao knew that the current party royal family surname was Li, but the old surname of "Wei Ming" was first restored. It can be seen that this person's identity is not trivial.

Sure enough, Wei Mingqi bowed down and said: "The device represents the father of the family, Wei Minglang meets His Royal Highness the King of Qin." ”

"It turned out to be the son of the old general, and this king is rude!"

"Where, Your Highness is serious!"

Zhao Zhao asked knowingly: "I don't know why the young general is here?" ”

"Our ministry is willing to surrender to His Royal Highness King Qin!"

"Surrender?" Zhao Zhao smiled and said: "It stands to reason that you party members should hate this king, why would you take the initiative to surrender?" Isn't there some conspiracy? Join forces with Liang Yibury to sing a bitter meat plan, and then deceive him? ”。

Wei Mingqi hurriedly defended: "I don't dare to wait, Your Highness's soldiers are strong, and Lingxia will be pacified in a few months, and Hexi will fall in the near future...... There is a saying in your country: Those who know the times are handsome, my father and I don't want to resist to the end, and the difference between the head and the head is small, which leads to the annihilation of the party and the ancestors. ”

"Really? Didn't Ling Zun have the confidence to resist? ”。 Zhao Zhao smiled and asked softly.

"Resistance?" It seems to be self-deprecating. said: "If it was a year ago. Naturally. However, the Liang sisters and brothers acted perversely, so that Western Xia ended up in the current situation...... It's too late, even if there is no internal disagreement in Western Xia, and the all-out resistance is just a stubborn resistance, the outcome is the same, and I don't know the right choice earlier. ”

Zhao Zhao smiled: "The old general is very courageous!" ”

"Don't hide it from King Qin, it's courage, but also helpless. My father didn't want the party to perish. Wei Mingqi said with a smile: "What's more, the party was originally affiliated with the Central Plains, even if the Western Xia was also a vassal of the Song Dynasty, what was there to surrender?" It's just a return to the past. ”

"Hmph, a plan to delay the army, recuperate, and then make a plot?" Zhao Zhao asked with a smile.

Wei Mingqi said: "King Qin is also an understanding person, and I don't have to be duplicitous and say anything about 10,000 years of surrender." Now we are afraid of the Qin King's soldiers, and as long as there are famous generals in the Great Song Dynasty in the future, the party still does not dare to make any changes. But if the Central Plains declines. Just like the change of five generations a hundred years ago, we dare not guarantee that our children and grandchildren will not have delusions! This is from the bottom of my heart. I also ask for your forgiveness. ”

"Haha, this king likes the refreshment of the young general very much!" Zhao Zhao's heart is like a mirror, and what Wei Mingqi said is not bad at all. The subjugation of the frontier tribes depended on the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty. The same Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong was called Tian Khan, and Siyi surrendered. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Uighurs, Khitans, and Dangxiang rose one after another, either to stand on their own, or to rebel, or even to invade the Central Plains.

Verbal submissions and agreements are meaningless, everything is spoken by strength. Once the Central Plains Dynasty loses its powerful force, loses its deterrence against the frontier, and vainly tries to subjugate them, it is a fool's dream.

If you want to never suffer from future troubles, you have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. But Zhao Zhao can't do it at the moment, and he doesn't plan to do so. The price to pay would be too great to be worth it.

Instead of unrealistically wanting to restrict party items, it is better to find a way to make the Great Song Dynasty as strong as possible. As for the present, the two families are more like using each other, but the Song Dynasty has gained more benefits.

Zhao Zhao asked in a deep voice, "Say, what is Ling Zun going to do?" What do you want? ”

"Our ministry will help His Royal Highness the King of Qin conquer Xingqing Mansion, but the King of Qin needs to agree, and tell the world that he will not harm the party members and protect our interests!"

Zhao Zhao immediately said: "Okay, this king will tell the world that after conquering Xingqing Mansion, he will not harm the party members." And the hometown of Xiazhou and Yinzhou in Hengshan will be carved out, and your department will recuperate, what does the major general think? ”

"Xiazhou?"

"Yes, you also know how important the Helan Mountain generation is, for the sake of peace of mind for both of us, let's go to Hengshan, where the water and grass are abundant and beautiful, and it is the ancestral land of your party." Zhao Zhao said: "The Great Song Dynasty will also add the title of Lingzun as the king of Xiping County, command the party departments, hereditary replacement, as long as the party has no two hearts, you can rest with the country, and never break your word." ”

"So ......" Wei Mingqi was tempted, his father is already old, and most of the knighthood of the king of Xiping County will fall on him. It is not much different from the era of the ancestor Li Jiqian, but there are only two states left in the five states!

"That's great!" Wei Mingqi agreed, and wondered: "It's just that can King Qin represent the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"Hmph, what does the young general think?" Zhao Zhao didn't answer directly, just a rhetorical question, but the meaning was already very obvious.

Wei Mingqi said: "I wish His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the grand ambition will be realized as soon as possible!" ”

"Thank you" Zhao Zhao smiled and asked, "You are so relieved of this king?" Aren't you worried that this king will break his promise and get fat in the future? ”。

"As long as His Highness publicly swears an oath with our ministry and announces it to the world!" Wei Mingqi said: "With the honorable status of His Royal Highness, it is naturally a good word. What's more, His Highness's footsteps will not stop at Hexi, and Tubo and the Western Regions are probably also in His Highness's field of vision. Because of a small party item, the reputation has been ruined, and in the future, what will be the tribe that will dare to surrender and believe His Highness?

His Royal Highness Su Wen cares about the soldiers, so naturally he doesn't want the soldiers of the Song Army to sacrifice senselessly, and he doesn't want the frontier to be uneasy everywhere, right? The pros and cons are severe, and with the wisdom of His Royal Highness, he naturally knows it! ”

"Hmph, it's comfortable to negotiate with smart people! Take practical action, this king will let your father and son see the sincerity. Zhao Zhao smiled and swore a public oath, naturally he couldn't break the contract.

In the future, the party will never be killed, but will be treated with extra preferential treatment, boiling frogs in warm water. In the future Lingxia, only the naturalized Han people, as for the party items, they will disappear in obscurity in the long river of history!

That's the way to do it once and for all! (To be continued......)
