Chapter 83 The Li family's father and son rebelled against Xia and lowered gold

Gao Pet learned about this situation through his second uncle, and his grandfather also hoped to achieve private communication with Xixia through himself. In the afternoon, Gao Chong went to the palace to meet the prince and princess, clarified the relationship between his grandfather and himself, and asked Chongzong Li Qianshun to give him the opportunity to meet with Gao Bailan, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, in private.

Li Qianshun was also an emperor with unique political wisdom, and after many exchanges with Gao Zhong, Li Qianshun had initially become the focus and basic national policy of the Western Xia's diplomatic and military strategy to unite the Song State against and suppress the strength of the Jin State.

But this is only a one-sided idea, and the Song Dynasty must establish channels and contacts with the Great Song Dynasty in order to achieve better results. However, as a vassal state of the Jin State, the Western Xia could not openly confront it, and the cooperation between the Western Xia and the Great Song could only be carried out in secret. Economic cooperation between the two countries is quite difficult because there is no border, and the area occupied by Daikin is in between.

Some time ago, Jin Taizong closed the market where the two countries traded with each other, and his reason was that most of the things sold by Western Xia to the Jin State were useless things such as luxury goods, while the Jin State sold grain and other materials that affected the people's livelihood. Of course, Li Qianshun knew that this was just Jin Taizong's superficial reason, which was actually to hit the economy of Western Xia and weaken the strength of the Western Xia Kingdom. If it was possible, what Jin Taizong wanted to do most was to destroy Western Xia. In the past few years, the two sides have also tried to control and fought a few battles, and the Jin State did not take advantage, which is closely related to the relatively strong military strength and combat capability of the Western Xia.

The current focus of the Jin State is still the Southern Song Dynasty, as long as the Southern Song Dynasty is destroyed, the Western Xia is just a disease of scabies. This is also the fundamental reason why Jin Taizong sacrificed the economic weapons often used in the former Northern Song Dynasty and closed the city. The impact of this trade on the national power of the Western Xia was obvious, and the Song dynasty achieved significant results every time it was used. It goes without saying that Western Xia is just a landlocked country, lacking grain and various products, and once the abundant green salt cannot be sold, the annual national tax revenue will be reduced by two or three hundred thousand, not to mention the impact of the shortage of other materials. So Li Qianshun hates Jin Guo to the core, but there is no way, people are stronger than you.

What the Song Kingdom hoped for was also what the Western Xia needed. So early the next morning, Gao Chong received Ren Cong's reply, saying that in the palace at night, Chongzong Li Qianshun wanted to meet Gao Bailan alone and secretly.

This meeting did not allow Gao Pet to participate. Seeing that he had nothing to do, Gao Chong rushed to Xiping Mansion with Qian Jichen and his second uncle to see Shu Wang Renli in Xiping Mansion. The two sides mainly talked about the cooperation in the construction of Tianshui Fort and its factories and mines, and Emperor Li Qianshun had asked Shu Wang Renli to fully cooperate with Gao Chong, including the organization of personnel, the supply of food and construction materials, and the determination of the contact person between the two sides.

The construction plan of Sweetwater Fort has long been prepared, and now it is a matter of organizing and implementing it. This time, Gao Chong's second uncle brought more than 200 project management personnel from Tongling, and in this Sweet Water Castle, Gao Chong also left 70 or 80, and other people, including the princess territory, and the construction of copper mines need people. He is ready to put Zhao Yi in charge of the whole project here. Of course, Zhao Yi's most important work was in the matter of military intelligence in Western Xia.

Gao Zhong came out of Shu Wang Renli's palace and went to Heishui Fort again, met Heishui Bo Li You, and introduced his second uncle Gao Shilu to him. However, the auction house was built in Xiping City, not in Heishui Fort, because the auction house is a legal enterprise. Li You took them back to Xiping City to visit the auction house, introduced the whole preparation, publicity, and set the date of the first public auction, this auction just happened to meet the wedding of the three princesses, it can be said that the auction will be much larger than expected, due to the organization of many treasures, it is estimated that it will take seven to ten days to complete the auction if it is a hammer auction, and then it was set, the general small items are carried out once every two days, all year round, and large-scale auctions, about four times a year, special circumstances are carried out separately.

Finally, the opening date was set, this time on the tenth day after the princess's wedding.

Since Western Xia was just a vassal country of the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom did not attach importance to the princess Mingzhu's wedding. But no matter what, Western Xia was an important country, and it had strong military strength, otherwise the Jin State would have destroyed him when it destroyed Liao. Jin Taizong asked the commander of the Western Route Army, Wan Zongbi (Jin Wushu), to send people to watch the ceremony.

Jin Wushu is the fourth son of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta, the nephew of Jin Guo Taizong Wanyan Sheng (Wu Qimai), brave and belligerent, superb archery, and likes to fight the enemy alone. In the battle against the Song Dynasty, he made outstanding achievements, and pursued Zhao Gou all the way to Wenzhou, and was defeated by the Song army before returning. After the end of the Eastern Front Campaign, the Jin State implemented the strategy of stabilizing the Eastern Front and attacking the Western Front, and Jin Wushu became the vanguard of the Jin Army's operations on the Western Front. From a marshal's account to the marching 10,000 households, he has been promoted to the commander of the left wing, the capital of the right wing, and the current commander of the Western Army.

In the battle against Guanzhong, the Jin army won victories one after another, all the way to Lanzhou. It was only in October of the ninth year of Tianhui (1131) that the Song army, under the leadership of Wu Jue and his brother Wu Xuan, relied on the remnants of more than a few thousand people, defeated the main force of the Jin army, and wounded the main general of the Jin army, Jin Wushu, to stifle the momentum of the Jin army's march into Sichuan Yu. Guarded the intersection into the river.

A year later, in December 1132 (last year), the Shaanxi Jingluo of the Golden Vulture sent Wanyan Sa Liyu to attack Sichuan from the middle line.

In the second year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, in December of the tenth year of Jintianhui (1132 AD), after the Jin army broke through Shangzhou (now Shangxian County, Shaanxi), it broke through Jinzhou (now Ankang, Shaanxi) on the ninth day of the first month of 1133 (the Battle of Jinzhou). However, the Jin army was blocked at Raofeng Pass (northwest of present-day Shiquan, Shaanxi), and Tian Sheng, the commander of the Song Dynasty, led his troops to fight bravely and held Raofeng Pass.

Wu Jue's department in Yangluo also sent a brigade to support, but the next lieutenant under Wu surrendered the Jin army because he was punished, and led the Jin army from Cicada Creek Ridge to the back of Rao Feng Pass, attacked the Song army Guo Zhongxun at night, and occupied the cottage, and then attacked Rao Feng Pass according to the condescending position, and attacked the flank of the main force of the Song army with an elite army. The Song army suffered from the enemy on its back, and Rao Fengguan was defeated.

After the defeat of the Song army Rao Fengguan, there was no natural danger in entering Hanzhong, and the Jin army was unstoppable. Due to the exhaustion of food for the Jin soldiers and the lack of supplies in the occupied areas, Wanyan Sa had no choice but to retreat, and they retreated to Fengxiang (Baoji) from the Baochuan Road. In the process of retreating from Wanyan Sali, the rear army was ambushed by Wu Jue at Wuxiu Pass (now southeast of Liuba, Shaanxi) and suffered heavy losses.

After two consecutive defeats, Jin Wushu was very unwilling, and after more than half a year of rest, during this time he was once again preparing to attack the Song army of Wu Jue in Sichuan, in order to achieve the strategic goal of attacking the Song State from Sichuan Yu. Therefore, he didn't have the time and energy to deal with the marriage of the princess of Western Xia, so he only sent one of his generals to deal with the matter immediately.

This did not immediately take more than 1,000 cavalry from Fengxiang, out of the West to go to Xingqing through the direction of Guyuan, but just out of Pengyang, the border between Western Xia and Jin, only to see the smoke and dust billowing in front, the momentum is very urgent, as if there is a large group of horse cavalry hurrying. It is impossible to pick up himself, is it the Western Xia who sent troops to attack the Jin State? Doesn't seem likely? Look at the smoke and dust, the number of people on the other side is definitely not less than 5,000 people. If you want to fight yourself, more than 1,000 people don't have much time to hold on, so they have to order their entourage to immediately retreat to the Pengyangzhai Pass.

In less than a moment, the opponent's front team had arrived in front of the city gate. Didn't stand on the arrow tower and looked down, a little dumbfounded, there were still a lot of women and children among the more than 2,000 people in the horse team, the soldiers were disheveled, there seemed to be bloodstains, this is what it looks like to attack the Jin country, and it is almost impossible to escape. This is not a rough man, but the rough man is also coarse and fine, and when he saw another team of dust and smoke approaching behind him, the people from the opposite side shouted and asked:

"Who's in front, why do you want to break through my level, report your name quickly."

"Li Liangfu, the leader of the general of the Weizhou Jingsai Army, the former general of the Xia Kingdom, is also, the day before yesterday, my son was the vanguard general of the former general Xiao'er and the horse competition, and was injured by the horse, but the emperor Lao'er not only did not sympathize with my years of conquest, but took away the title of my father and son, and let me be a general to guard the city gate, we don't want to be humiliated, so I plan to come to Dajin, but the matter is not confidential, and now I am being chased and killed by the Xia army, please save me."

After the end of the face, although the person is rough but not a brainless general, people believe it in two words? That's impossible.

"Do you have proof, or who can guarantee it?"

"No, but can you let my family and children in, and it won't be too late for me to prove my heart when I cut off the head of the former deputy general."

"Good! It's up to you how you do it."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Liangfu give an order, and his own soldiers turned their horses and rushed towards the chasing cavalry.

Seeing that the two teams of Western Xia cavalry were fighting each other, Li Liangfu was in a situation where he was overwhelmed, so he did not immediately order to open the city gate, ordered his own soldiers to go out of the city, and let the more than 100 women, children and old people into the city. I also led the cavalry out of the city, and when I saw that the battlefield was hot, it was not like a show, so I couldn't help but surge in blood and shout, "Kill". It doesn't matter who the other party is, he will kill the Western Xia soldiers when he sees them. As soon as the other party saw that a fresh army had joined, and the leader of his side was killed by General Li, he knew that he could not do anything and ordered a retreat, but when he came, more than 3,000 people had been cut off.

didn't stand up to see the other party retreat, chased and killed for a while, asked his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, put away the ordnance, and retreated to the village.

"General, this is my vote, and the one I killed was Guyuan's deputy general Tuoba Hao." Li Liangfu held a human head in his hand and knelt down in front of him.

The guard general who has not called this village has asked if it is Tuoba Hao, the deputy general of the Great Plains of Western Xia.

In this battle, Li Liangfu's personal soldiers lost more than 600, and the generals who did not stand also lost nearly 300, which shows the tragic battle of the cavalry in less than a quarter of an hour.

Unloaded the armament of Li Liangfu's generals, and did not immediately send troops to send Li Liangfu and his son to Fengxiang to meet the commander Zongbi (Jin Wushu).

Originally, it was too late for the envoy to leave, and it took two days to deal with the follow-up, although it was only a day or two away from Qingxing, but when it came to Xingqing, the princess's wedding was less than a day away.
