Zhao Tan got off the city and walked to the lobby of the Zhizhou Yamen, which has been changed into a meeting place at this moment.

More than 30,000 Xihe soldiers could not pose any threat to the city, and they could not even besiege the city.

If you want to besiege Xining City, you need at least 50,000 people, and as for the strong attack, it is impossible to attack without 80,000 to 100,000.

Xining City is the first male city on the plateau, once as the existence of the capital of the king, after the wind and frost and the disaster of war, all kinds of defense facilities are complete, if the soldiers have enough food and grass, it can be called a stone fortress.

At this time, there were many people sitting in the hall, all of whom were heroes of the broken jade building, and as for Lu Junyi, Du Bai, Zhang Xian, etc., in the army, they were all in the city and Liu Suiyun to supervise the battle.

Zhao Ta's eyes fell on Jian Suyi, and said, "Come up with a plan, rebuild the Broken Jade Building, and start implementing it when the Xihe River is decided." ”

When Jian Suyi heard this, Zhao Ta looked at everyone and said, "Are there anyone who is familiar with the Western Xia and knows the Western Xia language?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, and Jian Suyi said: "Lord Wang, only the brothers of the He family understand Xia language, but they have been sent to Xingqing Mansion by the prince two years ago." ”

Zhao said: "Not enough, far from enough." ”

Ding Ercrab said: "The subordinates and others came early, and they had a lot of contact with the people in the city before, and they saw that many merchants knew Xia language. ”

Jian Suyi said again: "There should be a lot of Tongxia language in the army. ”

Zhao Ta thought for a while: "Western Xia is not better than Liao, Liao Di speaks more of my Great Song official dialect, even if it is Shangjing, it is the same, but Western Xia is rare, except for the royal family and official families, other ordinary people almost do not know Song language." ”

Jian Suyi said: "Lord Wang, this matter is easy, you can find a few reliable teachers and let the people in the building learn." ”

Zhao Ta nodded: "This idea is good, there is another thing, the rivers and lakes in Western Xia are not as weak as those in Liao, and now it is a three-legged situation, and one is stronger than the other." ”

Bai Ba said below: "Lord Wang, can you still be stronger than the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Zhao Ta looked at him and shook his head and said: "Da Lang, don't learn from your second brother's temperament of seven disobedience and eight dissatisfaction, the rivers and lakes of Western Xia are very deep. ”

Bai Ba immediately embarrassed: "Lord Wang, my subordinates know their mistakes, and my subordinates are thinking that a small place like Western Xia is not as good as my Great Song Dynasty Ercheng land, and it is not as good as Northern Liao, what can I produce......"

Shi Qian next to him smiled at this time: "Boss of the Bai family, you don't understand this, you haven't walked the rivers and lakes in Tokyo, and you don't know the truth of the temple demon and the king of Chiqian." ”

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the hall laughed, and Zhao Ta also laughed.

Ding Erxi said: "A good temple is a small demon with a big wind, and there are many kings in the pool, it is very suitable to describe a capricious and untrustworthy country like Western Xia." ”

Zhao Ta looked at everyone with a smile, pressed his hand, and the hall immediately calmed down, he said: "The Liao country is already the end of the yellow flower, and the rivers and lakes of Liao are also lacking in follow-ups, but the Western Xia is different, there are three major forces in the Western Xia that control the movements of the rivers and lakes, these three forces are the Sadness Wind Hall, the Yuan family and the Zizaimun, the three are very powerful, and the Western Xia royal court has an inextricable connection, if you want to change the name of Rouwolf Mountain and break through the Helan shortage, you must guard against these three families from secretly sabotaging and assassinating, transmitting intelligence, and assisting the Western Xia army to do dark and dirty things. ”

Lu Dadao: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have only heard of the Sadness Wind Hall, which is a place where the hidden spy department of the Western Xia Army specializes in cultivating elite spies, but I didn't expect to meddle in the rivers and lakes." ”

Zhao Ta said: "There are two kinds of people in the Sadness Wind Hall, one is sent outside, lurking everywhere as a spy, and the other is lying inside, controlling the wind direction of the rivers and lakes, and the green forest is moving!" ”

Xu San said: "Lord Wang, what is the origin of the other two?" ”

Zhao Ta picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Yuan family...... The Yuan family is the largest martial arts family in Western Xia, and the mainstream surname of the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty has been changed, and the Li family of the Western Xia royal family is the same clan, and the Li family of the Western Xia is also passed down from the Tuoba clan. ”

"Is this Yuan family's martial arts very powerful?" Jiang Si said curiously.

"Is it amazing?" Zhao Tan laughed: "Do you still remember when the Liao people were fighting in Tokyo, and I was assassinated?" ”

"Remember, remember!" Everyone nodded.

Zhao Ta said: "The secret weapon of the assassination that day was a small golden arrow, about one-fifth of the length of the normal feather arrow, I once asked you if you have ever seen it, but no one knew it, and then many people inquired to know the origin of this thing, it is a special skill of a child of the Yuan family." ”

"The little arrow...... Is it the martial arts of the Western Xia Yuan family? Ding Ercrab exclaimed.

"I don't know if it's the ancestral heirloom of the Yuan family, but it's that disciple's stunt, that little arrow is very powerful, you must know it in your hearts." Zhao Ta said slowly: "By the way, that Yuan family disciple is called Yuan Ji. ”

"Yuanji?!" The people below talked about it, this name is very unusual, and it is likely to be the core son of the Yuan family.

After a while, Jian Suyi said, "Lord Wang, what is the origin of the free door?" ”

"Freedom in the door...... Zhao Ta touched his chin when he heard this, and muttered: "This sect is more complicated than those two forces. ”

Because of Xiao Min's parents, he went to ask Duan Heyu, the king of Dali, and Duan Heyu's reply mentioned Zizaimun.

Xiao Min's mother is a disciple of Zizaimen, who was originally Xiao Feng's sister-in-law, and after the incident of Yanmen Pass, Emperor Tianzuo gave marriage to Xiao Feng and gave birth to Xiao Min.

Zhao Ta knew that Xiao Min's mother was born in the sect, so he sent someone to investigate this sect, but he didn't know if he didn't check it, and he was shocked when he checked it.

This sect is the largest sect in the entire northwest, with a long history, dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was founded by a student of Zhuang Zhou.

The martial arts of the free door are all handed down from ancient times, even if thousands of years have passed, time has been ruthless, but it still retains a lot, even more than Songshan Temple.

But over the years, the free door has not been smooth sailing, smooth and stable, the civil strife in the middle continues, and several major civil strife have almost broken the inheritance, but fortunately, the free door has a deep heritage, and finally turned the danger into a disaster and survived the difficulties.

Normally speaking, Zizaimun is not actually a sect of Western Xia, but Xixia happens to be the place where the founding of Zizaimun is located, and the purpose of Zizaimun is to be free and easy, and does not care about the disputes between the dynasties, so it has been coexisting peacefully with Xixia.

However, a major event occurred in the Zizaimun Gate more than 100 years ago, which directly affected the pattern of this well water not violating the river water, and tightly tied the Zizaimen and the Xixia royal family.

But these are not obtained by Zhao Tan's own investigation, but by listening to Shigong Jintai.

Jintai's wife, Li Canghai, was one of the four great disciples of Zizaimen at that time, and was the youngest junior sister.

At that time, the master of the Freedom Gate was called the Freedom Old Man, and in addition to the four great disciples, there were several ordinary disciples in the door, which was very prosperous.

Li Yuanhao of Western Xia founded the country, personally went to the door to give gifts, and wanted to invite the old man to go out of the mountain to serve as a national teacher, but was politely refused.

Although Li Yuanhao is a generation of heroes, he is very greedy for power and lustful, and his personality is extremely violent, but this time he was not annoyed by this, but laughed it off and told the following not to be embarrassed and live in peace with him.

This is not that Li Yuanhao has changed his temperament, but after he saw a disciple of the old man, he was shocked and moved by his admiration.

This disciple's name is Li Shuangmei, who is Li Canghai's sister, and the two sisters are both members of the party, and they did not have a Tibetan family.

Li Shuangmei's party name did not hide Qiushui, and Li Canghai's party name did not hide Hanhai.

At that time, Li Shuangmei was twenty-five years old, and Li Canghai was only twelve years old.

Originally, with Li Yuanhao's powerful character, he could have dispatched a large army to attack Zizaimun and snatch Li Shuangmei as a concubine, although the master of Zizaimen was like a cloud, but under the attack of tens of thousands of troops, I am afraid it would be difficult to preserve.

But Li Yuanhao, who has been rampant for half his life, did not do this this time, but went back to the palace of Xingqing Mansion directly, but after that, he sighed every day, and often had relatives.

The reason is that although he has countless women in half his life, he has never had a love thought, and now he has been founded and called the emperor, and he looks at all directions, and whenever he thinks of it, he has a great sense of regret.

As soon as he saw Li Shuangmei, he was moved, moved by the love affair, thinking that the other party could also fall in love with his own family, and he was unwilling to do such brutal acts as before, and wanted the other party to be sincerely convinced and committed to him.

Although he was a member of the party, he was also awarded the official position of the Great Song Dynasty before the rebellion and the founding of the country, and he often read Han books and military books, and was proficient in the languages and writings of Han, Tibet, Uighur, and Liao, and understood Buddhism and Taoism.

So he knew that the Freedom Gate was created by the apprentice of the master Zhuang Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he thought who Zhuang Zhou was? That is a first-level figure who opened a school, influenced hundreds of schools, and sang through the ages.

However, even a character like Zhuangzi has to fake his death to test his wife's loyalty, and he sees that true love is rare, and every time he thinks of this, Li Yuanhao becomes more and more disappointed and regretful, so he often sends people to send gifts to the free door, and mixed the valuables in the gifts, and gives them to Li Shuangmei alone.

But Li Shuangmei already had a sweetheart at this time, and it was the second senior brother Tianluzi.

The four disciples of the old man are the senior sister Wu Feiyun, the second senior brother Tianluzi, the third senior sister Li Shuangmei, and the junior sister Li Canghai.

And Tianluzi also has affection for Li Shuangmei, and the two secretly correspond, and no one else knows about this matter.

Li Shuangmei saw that the gifts given by Li Yuanhao were becoming more and more expensive, and she couldn't help but feel worried, so she secretly discussed with Tianluzi, who was worried that Li Yuanhao would covet Li Shuangmei, so she planned to elope together.

At this moment, Tianluzi is already a grandmaster martial arts, and Li Shuangmei is only one step away from entering the grandmaster, and he can go anywhere in the world, if it weren't for Li Yuanhao being the emperor of Western Xia and mastering heavy troops, he wouldn't have thought of making such a move.

The two didn't even discuss it with the old man at ease, Li Shuangmei only had a brief talk with his sister Li Canghai, and then left the sect with Tianluzi and left.

Who knew that in this way, not only Li Yuanhao was angry, but even the free door was in chaos.

Although Li Yuanhao was angry, he asked for wishful thinking after all, and he didn't blame Zizaimen, but Zizaimen couldn't resist it.

The reason is that the senior sister Wu Feiyun also secretly belongs to Tianluzi, Tianluzi and Li Shuangmei suddenly eloped without warning, she was immediately disturbed, and her thoughts were like ashes, and she actually made a big fuss in the door.

The old man scolded her a few words, and she turned around and left the sect and ran to the Tianshan Mountains.

Even if the old man has perfected his martial arts, after all, he has already passed the age of 100, and the four disciples are all accepted after the age of 100, and he is waiting to pass on the mantle at this moment, step down as the master of the door, and do not ask about the world, but he didn't expect that three of the four people ran away, leaving only a twelve-year-old little apprentice, who is still thinking about playing every day, where can he take over as the head of the house.

He fell ill directly in a fit of rage, and later forcibly practiced to get rid of his illness, but as a result, he fell into a rage, collapsed on the bed, and died a few years later.

When the old man died, Li Canghai was already sixteen or seventeen years old, but how could he have the heart to manage the sect, pondering and pondering, and finally decided, just run away!

So he abandoned the free door, came to the Great Song Dynasty, relying on a magical martial arts, everywhere to challenge the masters of the rivers and lakes, until the Songshan Temple met Jintai, the two fell in love at first sight, and then walked together in the green forests of the rivers and lakes, and later Emperor Renzong put Shenzhou to select heroes to join the army, Jintai won the first to enter the court to do the official expedition to Liao, and protect Wang Anshi to change the law, and then is the success of the retreat, with Li Canghai to go overseas to live in seclusion.

At this point, the Freedom Gate has actually been disbanded, many martial arts cheats, Tianluzi and Li Shuangmei took some of them, Wu Feiyun took some of them, and Li Canghai took away the rest of the powerful ones when he came out, and the rest of the ordinary disciples did not have the true inheritance of the old man at ease, and there were no good cheats to practice, so they became no different from ordinary third-rate small sects in the rivers and lakes.

But things are often unexpected, and even when Li Yuanhao thought that the door was about to disappear completely, Li Shuangmei suddenly came back!

According to Jintai's speculation, it should be that he fell out with Tianluzi for some reason, so only one person returned.

After Li Shuangmei came back, she immediately took charge of the Zizai Gate, she and Tianluzi took away the most martial arts cheats at the beginning, and at this moment they reopened the faction, recruited a wide range of disciples, and also set a few descendants to pass on the powerful martial arts that they took away at the beginning.

Li Yuanhao was overjoyed when he learned that Li Shuangmei came back, and went to the door to pursue it in person, Li Shuangmei readily agreed, and since then he has been the master of the door at ease and Li Yuanhao's concubine.

Later, Li Shuangmei gave birth to a son for Li Yuanhao, named Li Liangzuo, who was the second emperor of Western Xia, Yizong of Western Xia.

At this time, Li Shuangmei had restored the name of the party item and did not hide Qiushui, Li Liangzuo ascended the throne and was honored as the first emperor and queen, and when the queen mother of the dynasty, later generations called it the queen of Wuzang, the queen of Xuanmu Huiwen, and the queen mother of Wuzang.

Li Liangzuo gave birth to a son, Li Bingchang, who was the third emperor of Western Xia, Huizong of Western Xia.

Li Bingchang gave birth to his son Li Qianshun, who is the current emperor of Western Xia, the fourth emperor of Western Xia.

However, there are still many mysteries in this, after Li Shuangmei married Li Yuanhao as a concubine, Li Yuanhao's other sons almost died, and in the end only Li Liangzuo remained, and the causes of death of Li Yuanhao's other sons were extremely strange, rebelled, jumped into the river, and wanted to kill his father but were killed, one of them was called Li Ningming, and he died because he couldn't eat because he practiced qigong, which was recorded in "Xixia Shushi".

As for the main court of the Freedom Gate in Xixia, it was revitalized because of Li Shuangmei's return, not to mention, Tianluzi actually passed down the mantle outside, and Wu Feiyun also had a mantle in the Tianshan Mountains.

And the main court of the Xixia Freedom Gate, because of Li Shuangmei's relationship, has been tightly tied to the Xixia royal family since then.

These are all told to Zhao by Jintai, when Jintai and Li Canghai were living in seclusion overseas, Li Canghai learned that Li Shuangmei had gone back to Western Xia and had sent people to visit, so he knew these things.

Zhao Ta thought of this, he couldn't help touching his clothes, on the day of Songshan Temple's departure, he went to bid farewell to Jintai, and Jintai gave him a booklet, which had Li Canghai's martial arts brought out from Zizaimen, not all, but some of the essence.

And the inheritance left by Li Canghai overseas can also be regarded as a vein of Zizaimen......
