Helan Mountain is getting closer and closer, and the small wine inn has arrived. k update

Chiang would roll over and dismount.

The inn is a bit remote, and business is not very good, there are only a few hunters who have gone to Helan Mountain to hunt, and there is a plate of sliced mutton on the table, and there is a jar of turbid wine on the side. A few hunters were chatting about the mountains, talking about hunting.

talked about Brother Ning Ling again.

Some people say that Brother Ning Ling was wronged, some people say that he did the right thing by not hiding the slander, Brother Ning Ling killed the monarch and his father and fled, deliberately spreading rumors, slandering the prime minister, the queen mother, and the emperor.

The dispute of several Orions is also a microcosm of the entire Western Xia.

He has the upper hand, he controls the state apparatus and can manipulate public opinion. Most people also believe in the identity of Forgiveness. How smart Yuan Hao is, can't his own son figure it out? If you are suspicious, will you let Wu Zang Pang serve as the Minister of State?

Wang Song did a good job, but he didn't do it perfectly, otherwise the entire Western Xia would have been more seriously divided. Zheng Lang didn't expect Wang Song to do perfectly, just grasp the general direction.

Get results.

Those who support the brothers and sisters are majority, but not all. Some people were already disgusted with the fact that they didn't hide it, whether it was true or not, they deliberately added fuel to the fire, and some people really believed the rumors spread by Wang Song. The main thing is that if you don't do a good job in the future, people will forget about it, and if you don't do it well, there will be a huge storm.

Several Orions spoke in a very low voice, and they didn't hide the suspicion and didn't dare to talk loudly. Jiang Hui still heard some of the discussions, but did not ask. Listened too much along the way. Directly into the backyard, several Orions did not suspect that this small wine inn was too shabby. There were also many Han people in Western Xia, and they never dreamed that Ning Lingge was under their feet.

Wei Tie greeted him in surprise and said, "So fast? ”

Unexpectedly.

Follow Zheng Lang's instructions. You have to send Brother Ning Ling to Khitan. But the first premise is that Brother Ning Lingge himself has to agree.

There is no hurry, Ning Lingge is provided with food and drink every day, and then news from the outside world is continuously sent. There are still some tribes that can be trusted, but Wei Tie can let Ning Lingge enter these tribes? If you don't say no, Brother Ning Ling won't believe it. only said that it was difficult to distinguish the true from the fake, which made Ning Lingge think.

After being framed by Pang, Brother Ning Ling is a young man after all, how can he know which clan believes? I thought the news was released. The nobles of the whole country would raise troops in response to him, but the news he received became more and more frustrating, and he cried excitedly every day.

At this time, Wei Tie belatedly said: "Your Highness, there is another way for your subordinates. ”

Brother Ning Ling asked what method.

"Defection to the Khitan?"

"No," Ning Lingge shouted.

His father lost hundreds of thousands of Khitan soldiers in Hequ, and defected to the Khitan to find death. Of course. He couldn't defect to the Song Dynasty, and he could sell himself if he sacrificed Shanyu Weiliang back then.

Wei Tie then said: "The minister is Hanmin. ”

"I know, but no."

"Your Highness, don't get excited. Please listen to your subordinates tell you a few stories from the Spring and Autumn Period. ”

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes of various countries fought for the throne, and there were many deeds of borrowing foreign teams to compete for the throne. Wei Tien mentioned a few of these cases, and said: "Your Highness's worries, your subordinates know. However, the king's unruliness made the Khitan angry. If His Royal Highness makes some compromises to the Khitan, the Khitan also needs our Great Xia to restrain the Song Dynasty, and they also want the humiliation of the Snow River Qu, and if they get His Highness, they will raise troops to crusade against the rebels and thieves. His Royal Highness has the backing of the Khitan, and the state will support His Royal Highness's aristocratic tribes more, and His Royal Highness will be able to ascend to the throne. ”

Brother Ning Ling hesitated.

"Your Highness, my subordinates also heard that Wuzang began to prepare to make a move on the Empress Wuji. His Royal Highness is undecided, and if the queen is not moved, it may be unpredictable. His Royal Highness has a strong backing, and he did not hide it, but did not dare to harm the queen. Once His Royal Highness ascends the throne, according to some Hu habits, the son can inherit his father's wife and marry the queen who has not moved. ”…,

The poor little prince, because he didn't move his family because of his love, was first used by Wu Zang, and now he is used by Wu Tie.

mentioned that the Move's eyes were gone, and Brother Ning Ling's eyes appeared again with the Move's smiling coquettish look.

He hesitated and said, "Will the Khitans help me?" ”

"It will," Wu said. It would be better to send troops, and it would be difficult to say that it would be difficult to help, and the possibility of taking the opportunity to annex Western Xia was far greater than the possibility of helping. If you don't know how to talk about it, you will continue to coax Brother Ning Ling: "If Your Highness is not at ease, your subordinates will go to the Khitan, Your Highness only needs to write a letter for your subordinates to bring, and then look at the attitude of the Khitan people, if they are sincere, we will go, if they are not sincere, we will continue to sit and wait for the opportunity." Anyway, if you don't hide it, Pang won't dream that His Highness is here. However, it is not ......"

"But what?"

"The night is long and dreamy, I heard that I didn't hide a bounty of 1,000 taels and 5,000 sheep, secretly asked for His Highness, and his subordinates rescued His Highness, so I had to call more than a dozen warriors in the clan to come and participate, but people's hearts are unpredictable, time stays for a long time, and I am afraid that the possibility of His Highness ascending the throne is weakened, I am afraid of ......"

This is the strategy of Zheng Lang's envoy.

The little prince is easy to fool, and the key is to convince the Khitan people that the Khitan people are not so easy to fool.

The reason why it doesn't leak.

Brother Ning Ling was locked up for several days, becoming more and more discouraged, and finally compromised, wrote a letter, wrote it on the letter according to the reasons made up by Wei Tien, and then expressed his loyalty to Liao Xingzong and asked Liao Xingzong for help. After receiving Ning Lingge's letter, Wei Tie asked Jiang Hui to go to the Khitan.

The inventory was strict all the way, but there was no prohibition on trade and commerce.

In the first battle of Hequ, the Western Xia suffered heavy losses, coupled with Yuan Hao's greed for the beauty of the Wuyi clan and extravagance, the people in the Western Xia lived very hard, and Wuzang had to try to improve the lives of the people. Not for the people, but for his position.

Western Xia can have today, thanks to the Han people of previous dynasties. In order to govern here, the Qin Dynasty built the Qinjia Canal, which has been used to this day, and can irrigate more than 900 hectares, for the Western Xia, more than 90,000 acres of cultivated land is not a small area. The Han Dynasty built the Guanglu Canal, which was later annihilated. It was re-dredged during the Tang Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, the Hanyan Canal was also built in the south of Lingzhou, and there was the Tang Lai Canal, which was expanded by the Tang Dynasty. It is the largest trunk canal in Western Xia. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Aishan Canal was built, and the irrigation reached 1,000 hectares. The Sui and Tang dynasties built a seven-level canal, where Guo Ziyi defeated the Tibetan army. But also here, more than 30 years later, the Northern Song Dynasty attacked Xia on the fifth road, and the Western Xia broke the seven-level canal, resulting in the defeat of the Song army.

Tang Muzong built a special canal again, irrigated 600 hectares of fields, and the Tang Dynasty built eight canals such as Yushi Canal, Hu Canal, and Baijia Canal in succession near the Hanyan Canal, which can irrigate more than 500 hectares. In addition, there were Shangshu and other canals, the construction of these canals made the Western Xia agriculture more developed, supporting the Western Xia war against the Song Dynasty and Tibet.

As for the Haowang Canal built by Yuan Hao himself, because there were no relevant water conservancy experts, the site was relatively high, and it was not chiseled in the end. Zheng Lang didn't know this. Under the influence of some later experts, it was believed that Haowangqu played a huge role, but in fact it was nothing.

However, sooner or later, Zheng Lang will know that he has made a mistake in judgment, and he has had too little intelligence work on Western Xia before, so he can only analyze problems with some information in his mind. With a massive scout infiltrating Western Xia. This information will provide a steady stream of real feedback.

For a large number of water conservancy projects built by the Han Dynasty in the past, the Western Xia inherited them, and the best one was Li Deming, who dredged them one by one to make them practical. On the contrary, Yuan Hao will only squander, and these former dynasty water conservancy has not been expanded in his hands.

After Wuzang General Li Liangzuo was put on the throne, he successively issued a number of orders to reuse the limited national strength, renovate some water conservancy, and expand the scale of reclamation. As the minister of state, he is not weak in hiding it. Although it caused Li Yuanhao's father and son to kill each other, and wanted to harm Li Liangzuo, he could make some contributions to the stability of Western Xia in the transition time. …,

In addition to agriculture, there is also commerce.

Western Xia was barren and had to need material support from the Khitan and Song dynasties.

Therefore, the inventory was strictly investigated, but it did not cut off commercial exchanges with the Song Dynasty and the Khitan, and even encouraged the expansion of commerce.

Yang Shousu was bewitched by Zheng Lang and proposed to secretly open up the Wushan Road (Hangai Mountain), trade with the Dadan Nine Divisions and the Northern Blocking Division, and then transport their production to the Song Dynasty for sale, earning a huge profit difference.

I didn't agree.

In this case, Chiang would reach Jinsu Prefecture smoothly.

I can't go any further, and I ask to see the slaves of Yelu Gao, who is in the south.

This is a Khitan minister who is good at military affairs.

It is not necessarily a compliment, but it is only good at military affairs, and it lacks a little bit of diplomacy and a broad vision. Exactly what Zheng Lang needed.

Because he is proficient in military affairs, Gao Jianu knows the importance of Ning Lingge, and will also think that Ning Lingge is a strange product.

Such a major event happened in Western Xia, just on the east side of Western Xia, and Yelu Gao's slaves must have learned the news. Sure enough, as Zheng Lang expected, after Yelu Gao's slave saw the letter, he almost couldn't hold his breath at all, and said: "You said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country, please rest assured that our Khitan will definitely send troops to fight thieves for him." ”

"General Yelu, but our Highness needs the personal permission of His Majesty Liao." Jiang Hui followed Zheng Lang's instructions and put forward his request calmly.

"Okay."

Yelu Gao's slave carefully settled Jiang Hui, wrote a letter, deliberately explained the importance of Ning Lingge, and sent the letter to Zhongjing with the fastest horse. Liao Xingzong was very hard, first Zheng Lang fled, and then his mother, if it wasn't for his mother deliberately disagreeing with him, sending people to the Song Realm to threaten and leak the truth, the two countries would not sweep the scouts on the border, then someone in the Song Dynasty could spread the news to Youzhou faster, and Zheng Lang would not be able to escape. But his mother can't be killed. I had to continue to use means to win back my mother's heart, and instead of going to Liaodong for spring bowling, I hunted in Yuanyang Luo (now the northwest of Zhangbei County, Hebei Province) in the first month, so as to make it more convenient to accompany my mother. Then the Western Xia came to report the funeral, and presented a good eagle to Liao Xingzong to please Liao Xingzong. Then he led the ministers to congratulate Xiao in Salaluo.

It is closer to Jinsu Prefecture than in Liaodong, so it is faster to get the news.

The two letters arrived at the same time, and when they saw them, all the kings and ministers rejoiced together.

Although there was the defeat of Hequ, in the hearts of the Khitan people, the military is still the first in the Khitan, otherwise the little prime minister of the Song Dynasty would not have been so jealous of the Khitan, and then to the Song Dynasty and then to the Western Xia. The Song Dynasty couldn't gnaw at the Western Xia, but the Khitan line, last time it was a mistake.

And after the Khitan established itself, it has never suffered such a big defeat, and its prestige has been lost, even the most conservative ministers are unwilling to give up this great opportunity. Besides, they are conservative, they are only conservative to the Song Dynasty, and they can get a lot of benefits, what benefits can Western Xia give? Yes, an obedient Xixia can give benefits, but can the Xixia people be obedient now?

As soon as Yuan Hao, the hero, died, it was a good time, and getting Brother Ning Ling again was almost like a tiger.

Lihui wrote a letter, almost in the form of a national letter, and brought it to Jinsu Prefecture.

Originally, he wanted to send an envoy to come over to visit Ning Lingge in person, but Jiang Hui refused, and just asked them to prepare to send an army to the north of the desert to prepare to respond, and hurriedly returned with Liao Xingzong's letter.

It only took a month and a half to come and go, so Wei Tie was surprised by its speed.

Jiang Hui didn't know that Liao Xingzong was not in Liaodong, but in Zhongjing in the Khitan, he was also at a loss.

Of course, fast is best.

Even here, it's not a place to stay for long.

With the letter, Wei Tie sneaked into the basement from the kitchen and handed the letter to Brother Ning Ling.

Brother Ning Ling borrowed the oil lamp, read the letter, raised his head and said, "How about not moving the queen?" ”

"It's not good, I didn't hide it, I thought it was her father who hid His Royal Highness, I was suspicious, and the supervision was quite strict."

"Can you bring a letter to her for me?"

Wei Tie is dizzy, you have reached this point, and you still miss this woman! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
