Hit Chang'an City? That is the capital of the strong man and the Tang Dynasty! Is this going to carve up the territory of the Great Song Dynasty? For a while, people were panicked, not only the local people, but also the superstructure of the Great Song Dynasty was even more afraid. Zhongshu Province, the Privy Council, especially Prime Minister Lu Yijian, this old man exclaimed in fright, history recorded his original exclamation of 9 words, but immortal "A war is not as good as a war, but it is horrible"

Li Yuanhao's goal was achieved, and he really scared the people who could make decisions in the Song Dynasty. So let's withdraw... At this time, Song gave him a head-on blow and woke him up completely! Jingtai suddenly attacked and killed more than 1,000 people in Western Xia. This is really nothing to Li Yuanhao, but the greatest emperor in the history of the party has withdrawn his troops and returned to China...

The battle of Dingchuan Village is over, and the inventory after the war. Lessons learned is the first step, and the more important thing is to reorient defence. Let's start with the summary of lessons, which are given by official authoritative sources: Wang Yaochen, the former champion, the current Hanlin bachelor, and the future prime minister, put forward four reasons for defeat: 1. Don't live in Wating, go to Wugukou; 2 Leave the north of Yuanbao, do not enter the Zhenrong army, advance to the southwest, and garrison Yangma City; 3. From the city of raising horses, cross the Great Wall moat to Dingchuan Village; 4 Divide the troops and flee in Dingchuan Village, and they can't all die there (Dingchuan can't die when he sees thieves, and he loses all of them)

To sum up, Wang Da Zhuangyuan is really talented! In fact, why bother dividing one, two, three, four, he has given every step and every march route of General Ge - all wrong!

Let's talk about job transfers. On October 9, Wang Xin was promoted to the deployment of Yanyan Road, Di Qing was promoted to the capital supervisor of Jingyuan Road, and Jingtai was promoted to the jurisdiction of Jingyuan Road. Three days later, Wang Xin and Di Qing also served as deputy envoys to appease the road through the road. On the 13th, all the 16 generals below Ge Huaimin were posthumously presented. On the 14th, Wang Yaochen was appointed as the pacification envoy of Jingyuan Road. On the 27th, the unlucky bastard, the original Jingyuan Road appeased, so that Wang Yan was demoted to the governor of Yuzhou.

The war alarm has not been lifted. At that time, who dared to say that the battle of Dingchuan Village was the most difficult battle in the Song-Xia War? At this time, Jingyuan Road has been broken through, how to rebuild and thicken? The Song Dynasty decided to send the trump card over: transfer Fan Zhongyan to Jingyuan Road, and let him hedge against Li Yuanhao head-on!

But Fan Zhongyan disagreed. He made four recommendations. The situation in the northwest as a whole has been divided in all respects.

In the 14-year war, Jingyuan Road was the most important battlefield. I am responsible for it alone, and I am afraid that my strength is insufficient. I hope to send Han Qi and I to jointly manage and be stationed in Jingzhou together. I am also in charge of Huanqing Road, and Han Qi is also in charge of Qinfeng Road; 2. If there is an alarm on Jingyuan Road, the military horses of Huanqing and Qinfeng will be mobilized together to reinforce together. If Huanqing and Qin Feng are attacked, Han Qi and I will also respond on Jingyuan Road. This avoided the disadvantages of fighting against Western Xia alone in the past; 3. With the personnel and material assistance of Huanqing and Qinfeng, Jingyuan Road can recover its vitality as quickly as possible; 4 Han Qi and I discussed every day, selected generals to train troops, and the goal was Hengshan on the border with Western Xia. Reclaim it first. It is equivalent to cutting off Li Yuanhao's right arm. According to my calculations, it will be there in a few years!

In order to achieve these goals, Fan Zhongyan gave a list of officials to be transferred. This was supposed to be a temporary wartime transfer, but its significance was so profound that it directly affected the reforms that died soon after...

On November 12, Wen Yanbo deployed for Qinfeng Road, pacified and recruited envoys, and also knew Qinzhou. Teng Zongliang deployed for the capital of Huanqing Road, pacified and recruited envoys through a strategy, and also knew Gyeongju. Zhang Kang deployed for Jingyuan Road, pacified and recruited envoys, and knew Weizhou... On top of this, a new official position was created, which was super large, and it was deployed by the four roads of Shaanxi, pacified by a strategy and recruited along the border. It is equivalent to the supreme governor of the Shaanxi region, and commands everything in a unified manner. Completely change the previous situation of four separate roads...

That's a good thing. At that time, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, and Pang Jilai jointly served as it. This hides the ills of this official position. Because no one can cover the sky with one hand and act arbitrarily. But then there was a big problem. That's an afterword...

Grand Duke Fan Zhongyan selflessly let go of his great opportunity to take charge of the northwest alone, and took the initiative to pull Han Qi up. Let him reach the same position as himself, so he also has the same position of power as him. This was at the time. It is definitely good for the country, and it is also very much in line with his usual broad-mindedness. But there is one thing: in life, you must not be kind to others. Give people roses, and there is a lingering fragrance in your hands. Give authority to others, and be careful of what happens to you!

The Great Song Dynasty was waiting for the next round of danger to strike. But there is no more... Afterwards. People who know a little bit about the history of the Tao of the Tao know that the Song and Xia Dynasty are going to make peace. But who opened the mouth first? Through what channels? What kind of rift has it been through?

On December 5, Yelu Chongyuan's son Nerugu was crowned king of Anding County. When Yelu Zongzhen saw Nerugu's face, he was shocked and said, "This son has the opposite", but the emperor, who believes in Buddhism and respects humanity, did not take any measures, on the contrary, he became better and better to his imperial brother, the father and son... 20 years later, he who has been buried in Qingling may be so angry that he will crawl out of the coffin again because of this doting...

The turning point of the Western Xia's decline from prosperity to decline finally occurred in December. Things started with the monk Shiheng and Guangxin. As mentioned earlier, Guangxin disappeared after being beaten N times by Chong Shiheng, and he defected to Western Xia. Of course, this was premeditated, and it went straight to the point of Li Yuanhao! But there is one thing, whether it is Li Yuanhao himself or Li Yuanhao's cronies, it is not easy to get in touch. Guangxin needs an opportunity.

At that time, Li Jiqian raised troops against the Song Dynasty, and his main ally was Wei Mushi. Li Yuanhao's mother was born in the Wei Mu family. But when Wei Mushan rebelled, and Li Yuanhao wiped out the Wei Muyi clan along with his biological mother, his main ally was the Yeli clan, and the Yeli clan's power was second only to the imperial Tuoba clan and the Weiming clan in Western Xia. Ding Xingwang, a native of the Yeli clan of this generation, has three outstanding brothers: Yeli Renrong, who created the Xixia script, Yeli Wangrong, the soul of the Xixia army, and Yeli Yuqi, two brothers. And their niece Ye Li is Li Yuanhao's current empress, and has three sons: the eldest son Ning Ming is the crown prince, the second son Ning Lingge, and the son Xue Bury who died early (by the way: Ye Li Yuqi's wife is not Zang, the biological mother of the future second emperor of Western Xia, Li Liangzuo)

Chong Shiheng and Guangxin directly aimed at the number two person in the Western Xia Kingdom today - Yeli Wangrong. It shouldn't be, Yeli Wangrong deceived Chong Shiheng's head. Before the battle of Dingchuan Village began, he sent 3 people to Qingjian City to meet the Shiheng: Lang Buried, Beggar, Mei Niang, there are men and women, all of whom are nobles of the Yeli tribe. It's tempting to say: let's surrender. Note that it is on behalf of Yeli Wangrong to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty. The reason is nothing more than that there have been wars for many years, and this day cannot be lived.

Chong Shiheng thought about it again and again, and actually gave such an order: Give them an official to do, fatten, and do tax work. Treatment. Everything is on par with the standards of the Yeli tribe in the Western Xia Kingdom, only high and not low! So these three Yeli went in and out of Qingjian City, acting as a prestige and blessing, and lived a very happy life. Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and ran to ask what was going on with Shiheng? Chong Shiheng replied: Instead of killing, why don't you take advantage of it?

As a result, the monk Guangxin finally had the opportunity to get close to the top figures of Western Xia. With a handwritten letter from Chong Shiheng, he walked into Yeli Wangrong's home as a secret envoy: The Song Dynasty replied to you, and I admired you very much for abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, and immediately gave you the official title of Xiazhou Festival envoy. The monthly salary is 10,000 yuan! Now the official seals have been engraved for you, just waiting for your action.

Yeli Wangrong's whole body trembled, not excited, but frightened. This set himself on fire, and the Song Dynasty actually took it seriously. Such a big living person, entering his home with such a big bald head, as well as the title of Xiazhou Festival Envoy and a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, Li Yuanhao can know the Tao in a blink of an eye!

Yeli Wangrong chose to turn himself in. Li Yuanhao listened to the whole process very calmly and did not get angry. Let Nori Wangei go down to rest, and then chat with Mitsushin alone. Monk Guangxin was interrogated in every way and beaten by N. But the results of the parting special training came out, and Guangxin didn't say anything!

Li Yuanhao didn't kill him, but just locked him up. Another messenger named Li Wengui who pretended to be Yeli Wangrong went to see Chong Shiheng: I really want to surrender, but the meaning of your letter is very vague, let's talk carefully... Chong Shiheng first scolded Li Yuanhao angrily, and then praised Yeli Wangrong for abandoning the dark and turning to the light. In the blink of an eye, he is the true saint of the Zhongxing Party. Then he turned his favor to Li Wengui himself: I want to reward you again! You stay and play for a few more days, take a good look at the happy life of Da Song, and go back to tell your Yeli boss... Li Wengui was detained in Qingjian City in this way. But the news flew back to the territory of Western Xia in an instant. How? Don't forget the 3 people who are buried, begging, and charming.

Yeli Wangrong died, Li Yuanhao's trust in Yeli was greatly reduced, and his relationship with Queen Yeli, who had been married for 20 years, turned cold... But the matter is not over, the prince Ning is bright and studious, but he is kind by nature, and he died of grief and anger after witnessing this tragedy. Brother Ning Ling was made the crown prince... At the prince's wedding 4 years later, a bigger flicker and a bigger tragedy were finally staged: Yeli Yuqi was killed, Empress Yeli was deposed, Yeli was exterminated, the crown princess was taken away by the old emperor Li Yuanhao, the wife of the beggar did not have an affair with Li Yuanhao, and the father-son relationship between the prince and the emperor disappeared due to the destruction of the mother's family and the seizure of his wife, and finally buried the foreshadowing of Li Yuanhao's tragic death, the 51-year dictatorship of the mother party and the decline of the three emperors in succession after the Western Xia...

These two flickering actions can be called classics! The complexity and difficulty of operation are truly amazing to future generations! The old breed is so magical that people can't believe it...

And Pang Ji, the governor of Yanyan Road, made a bolder move after presiding over and supporting Chong Shiheng's action. Master Pang is really something that people dare not do. Others are waiting for peace and yearning for peace, but he dares to create peace out of thin air. For this purpose, he not only could fool Li Yuanhao, but also dared to play some tricks on his emperor.

He wrote a recital, saying that the Tangut people had reached the critical point of collapse, and I got the exact news that Li Yuanhao was worried about external troubles, and was defeated by various clans in the west, and the largest Yeli clan in the interior was also betrayed. There is a drought in the country, and countless yellow rats have emerged, eating up all the food they have... In a word, you can't live now! They would love to surrender ...

This is a lie! The various tribes in the Western Regions can only refer to the Uighurs and Tibetans, who were all submissive before Li Yuanhao became emperor. As for the Yeli clan, no one dared to rebel until the two brothers were killed and the queen Yeli was abolished. The only possible thing is a yellow mouse, which is said to be all over the grasslands...

But Emperor Renzong, who was not out of the deep palace, was very happy, but before he did this, he still asked for someone's opinion: Fan Zhongyan, in your opinion, can you make peace with Western Xia?

Fan Zhongyan replied: When the minister was the governor of Yuezhou, the local tax was 300,000 guan, which was enough to send the Western Xia away, "It is the people of Feiyi County, and it is the disadvantage of the world"

With just one state's taxes, you can settle the world's strife! Why not? As for what loss of power and humiliation of the country, completely ignore it! This is the Song Dynasty, not the Han and Tang Dynasties, not to mention the tough and stubborn people who have been standing up, suffering from internal and external troubles, poor and horizontal, and then dying of civil strife first, and then being annexed by foreigners, the collapse is super ugly, and it is also the Ming Dynasty that the author hates the most!

When Fan Zhongyan said this, he fully realized the foundation of the Song Dynasty and made an answer.

Zhao Zhen was determined to make up his mind, and he replied to Pang Ji: If Li Yuanhao surrenders, it doesn't matter if he still calls the emperor. If it can be downgraded, it will be better to call Shan Yu and Khan. As for the material requirements, they can be fully restored to the pre-war state, with a small increase, and they can also be negotiated ...

In this way, the olive branch of peace was first shaken by the Great Song Fang. Pang Ji brought Li Wengui out from Qingjian City, and first scolded, "Do you know how much of a bastard you are?" It was you who brought the kind Li Yuanhao badly, so that he could not inherit his father's fine style! Now the people of both countries are suffering, and it is all your fault! Don't look at how many battles you have won now, it is because our Song Dynasty has been peaceful for too long and forgot to train. Now that we're getting used to it, can you always win? Our country is rich in the world and has a vast territory, it doesn't matter if you lose once or twice, if you lose once, you are in danger of losing the country! Now you go back to China and say to Li Yuanhao: If you return to obedience, the court will treat him better than before."

The last sentence made Li Yuanhao's heart that had been hanging down. The goal has finally been reached! The battle of Dingchuan Village is a step. It's rare that Song Chao has taken the initiative to hand it over to him now, and he must catch it!

Li Yuanhao immediately released the monk Guangxin from the prison and received him as a distinguished guest, and then asked him to accompany Li Wengui back to the Song Dynasty and bring a letter. Of course, the content of the letter continues to be unruly - I am like the sun, I can only go west with the sky, how can I go against the sky and go east? Never surrender!

Very majestic? But it's just a gesture, a bargain...

This is external. Inside, there was a big event that made Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi and others excited: a cancer that had been in place for more than ten years was once removed!

At the end of the year, one day in December, all the courtiers reported to the emperor, and Lu Yijian escorted the court as the prime minister and led the hundred officials to salute the emperor. It is said that he has been doing this for more than 10 years, and the old prime minister can kneel three times and knock nine times without making a mistake even if he relies on memory inertia, but this time he actually only knelt twice, and suddenly stood up... The ministers of the palace bowed their heads, and he stood alone in the center of the crowd. What a big face... (To be continued......)
