The bald left, and there was no one in the hall for a while, and there was a dead silence.

Everyone knows that a national war is coming. But no one has any reason to complain and accuse Asha of daring not to fight with the generals of the main battle faction.

The Tatar wolf has ambitions and has been plotting against Western Xia for a long time. No matter how much the Western Xia tried to make a compromise, it couldn't change the other party's attempt to destroy the Western Xia.

After destroying the Western Xia and cutting off the flanks of the Jin people, they could concentrate their forces on dealing with the Jin State. The wishful thinking of the Tatars is known to passers-by.

Li ...... Qing, once the Tatars come to attack, will the Jin people send reinforcements? ”

Li Dewang coughed lightly, and his gaze turned to Li Zhongge, the secretary of the ministry.

Since Li Dewang ascended the throne, he has rectified the national politics and tried to revitalize the Western Xia. In August last year, Li Dewang sent Li Zhongge, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Luo Shichang, the Xuanhui envoy of the Southern Yuan, and Li Shaoying, the Zuo Shilang of Shangshu Province, to the Jin Dynasty and signed a peace treaty with the Jin Dynasty. The main thrust of the peace treaty is:

Jin Xia is a country of brothers, and the Xia Dynasty is a brother of Jin country; The two countries each use their own era names, but the Jin Dynasty does not give New Year's coins to the Xia Kingdom. Since then, Xia Jin has been back together.

In December of the same year, Li Dewang sent Li Ben, a scholar of Huiyouge, to the Jin Dynasty to ask for the resumption of mutual market between the two sides. Li Dewang sent an envoy to the Jin State who had been interrupted for many years due to the formation of the Jin Xia army.

Western Xia has walked into a dead end, and it is difficult for Western Xia to survive if there is no external force to break the barrier.

And the Jin Dynasty seems to be his only strong reinforcement.

"Your Majesty, when the minister arrived in the Jin Dynasty, he learned that the people of the Jin Dynasty were withering and the soldiers were empty. The Jin people had been forced to the front line of Henan and Shaanxi by the Mongols, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, and they were unable to help Xia resist Mongolia at all. I'm in Daxia, I'm afraid I can only rely on myself! ”

As the envoy to the Jin Dynasty, Li Zhongge, the secretary of the ministry, first gave Li Dewang a stuffy brick.

Regarding the envoy to the Jin State, he had already reported to the emperor, and it seemed that the emperor was not dead hearted, and he was lucky and wanted to get reinforcements from the Jin State.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are indecisive and the first rat is at both ends, I'm afraid it will be difficult to send troops to reinforce my Great Xia. Today's plan can only be united to fight the Tatars! ”

Li Ben, a scholar of Huiyou Pavilion, came out to play.

When the new emperor of the Jin people ascended the throne, although he discussed peace with the Western Xia, he was at war with the Mongols, hesitated, and waited and watched, and nine times out of ten he could not count on it.

"Your Majesty has taken in the son of King Han of the Kerebu tribe and also Rahe Sangkun. Genghis Khan and King Han of the Kerebu are feuding, and His Majesty's move is tantamount to setting himself on fire. Your Majesty is unwise! It is better to sacrifice Sankun in order to seek the understanding of the Tatars and to be able to strike the army! ”

Zhang Gongfu, the newly promoted Imperial History, spoke bluntly with a black face, but it was related to other things.

"The righteousness of a friend, never dare to give up. Do you think that if I don't take in Sangkun, Temujin will let me go? The Tatars have used troops in Great Xia several times, and Great Xia is not what it used to be, and the troops are weak, so how can Genghis Khan miss it. ”

Li Dewang smiled bitterly, couldn't help coughing again and again, and quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

Genghis Khan wanted to use troops against Western Xia, what excuse was not a reason?

"Zhang Gongfu, what do you mean by saying this? If the wolf wants to eat the sheep, do you need a reason? The hands of the Tatars have been stained with the blood of many of my Great Xia people. Don't you know? Even if we survive in secret, Genghis Khan will be able to let us go? Standing is also death, kneeling is also death, it is better to fight, maybe there is a way out! ”

Asha dared not to shout angrily and reprimanded Zhang Gongfu.

If you send Sangkun, it will make the Tatars look down on you even more. Blindly seeking perfection will further encourage the arrogance of the Tatars.

"Asha dares or not, the ambition of the Mongol wolf son is known to everyone. However, once he leads a large army to attack, my people of Great Xia will surely suffer countless casualties! ”

Zhang Gongfu shook his head and sighed.

Once the Tatar iron cavalry invades, not only will there be countless casualties, but if you don't get it right, you will lose the country and wipe out the species.

"Your Majesty, the country of Tatar tigers and wolves, even if I am obedient and obedient in Great Xia, I am afraid of its jackal nature. Today's toughness may be a self-initiating war. The Jin Dynasty is in decline and self-contained, how can you help me in Great Xia? Or hurry to recall the Mongolian envoys, grovel and beg the Tatars to retreat. ”

Li Zhongge spoke again, pleading bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the Tatars are powerful and the army is in full swing, it is better to send an envoy and then sue for peace. Choose another disciple of my Great Xia clan, give me the title of king, give me a car flag, and send a proton to the desert to have a good time, maybe you can eliminate a national disaster. ”

The privy envoy Li Yuanji also urged the emperor to compromise and strive to give Western Xia a ray of life.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that wanting to stop the invasion of the Mongol army was tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger.

"The Tatar army of 100,000 is stationed in the north of Helan Mountain, do you think they have nothing to do and come out to hunt? Let's step up our vigilance! ”

Asha dared not to bow to the bloodless Li Dewang on the throne, and his face was solemn.

"Your Majesty, the Tatars are eyeing the enemy, and the ministers are stationed at the Keyi Gate. If the minister can't come back, please stick to Zhongxing Mansion and never surrender to ensure the eternal existence of the Great Xia Kingdom. ”

Keyimen is the northern gateway of Zhongxing Province, with two mountains facing each other, a path in the middle, and a natural danger blockage. As long as the Keyi Gate can be defended, the northern barrier of Western Xia can be guaranteed.

Asha dared not finish speaking, knelt down and knocked his head a few times before standing up.

"Go ahead. The matter has come to this, let's go to the national disaster together. ”

Li Dewang said astringently, waved his hand slightly, took off the handkerchief, and his face was full of gloom.

At this point, there is only one way to deal with the enemy.

Perhaps, the war can be done once and for all, and it will last for several years for the Western Xia.

"Your Majesty, the only way to do this now is to face the difficulties. I also hope that Your Majesty will issue a royal decree and send a message to the military governments of all states to resist the Tatars and protect the eternal stability of the Great Xia! ”

Wei Mingling Gong saw that Li Dewang was happy and depressed, and hurriedly persuaded him.

The king of a country lacks the will to fight, so how can the courtiers and soldiers below deal with themselves?

Li Dewang reacted and strengthened his spirit and majesty.

"Zhuqing, the Tatars are afraid of power and virtue, and even deceive and deceive, if I send a proton to the Tatar army, but I am bound by it, I can only be a mouse bogey, and I will regret it when the time comes. Instead of lingering, let's give it a go! ”

Li Dewang raised his voice, but the ministers were worried, and they were all difficult to smile.

Since the emperor has decided to go to war, he can only fight with the Tatar army. As for whether God can fulfill people's wishes, I can only ask God.

"Immediately an edict was issued to prepare the armies of all provinces for battle, and not to be taken lightly. The former crown prince Li De was appointed as the general of Lingzhou to prepare for the attack of the Tatar army. ”

Backed by Helan Mountain and the Yellow River, Lingzhou is the southern barrier of Zhongxing Province. As long as Lingzhou City is guarded, the national capital Zhongxing Mansion will be worry-free.

Li Dewang's holy decree was issued, and his heart was a little lighter.

It remains to be seen how the war will end.

Li Dewang retreated to the side hall, and couldn't help it anymore, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the plum blossoms were dotted, shocking.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of your dragon body!"

Li Zhongge arrived at the order, and he was worried and frightened.

The enemy invaded, the emperor's health was worried, and the state affairs were difficult.

Emperor Li Zunwei has been lying on the sickbed for a long time, and he is about to die, and the emperor Li Dewang is seriously ill, and the Mongols are about to attack in a big way.

Could it be that the qi of Western Xia has been exhausted?

Li Dewang's face was pale, there were bloodshots at the corners of his mouth, and the handkerchief was blood-red.

"Your Majesty cultivates well, and the minister will retire for the time being."

"Life and death are fateful, my body is bones, I'm afraid it won't last long."

Li Dewang stopped Li Zhongge, who was about to retreat, and suddenly lowered his voice.

"Li Zhongge, you clean up, immediately send an envoy to enter the gold, you must meet the Golden Emperor, tell him, his lips are cold, let him not be a wall-to-side, lest he be broken by the Tatars!"

Li Dewang was stunned and hurriedly accepted the order.

The emperor still can't forget the reinforcements of the Jin State!

He is not the Mao Sui of the Warring States, and the Jin Emperor is not the King of Chu, he is not at all sure, and he can persuade the indecisive Jin Emperor Wanyan Shouxu to rescue Western Xia.

"Luo Shichang, haven't they come back yet?"

Noticing Li Zhongge's expression, Li Dewang's heart sank, and his words returned to Luo Shichang and others who were envoys to the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Zhongge, the secretary of the ministry, Luo Shichang, the Xuanhui envoy of the Southern Yuan, and Li Shaoying, the envoy of Zuo Shilang of Shangshu Province, sent an envoy to the Jin Dynasty, and Li Zhongge and Li Shaoying returned to China first, while Luo Shichang and other Han envoys went to the Song realm with the princess of Wenguo.

Princess Wen did this, saying that it was because the bun of the party envoy was too obvious, so as to avoid making a big splash and attracting attention. Li Zhongge and the others were helpless, but they could only agree.

Luo Shichang is a great Confucian in the Western Xia Kingdom, a subset of history, all of which are incomprehensible. Let him go, maybe it is more in line with Emperor Song's taste, and it is easier to bring reinforcements.

Calculating the time, more than three months have passed, and Luo Shichang should come back.

"Back to Your Majesty, Luo Xianggong went to the Song Realm, and I don't know if I saw Emperor Song. The Tatar army occupied Xiazhou, and even if Luo Xianggong wanted to come back, I am afraid that he would have to turn around and return. Your Majesty, be patient. ”

Li Zhongge's words made Li Dewang involuntarily, upset for a while, and coughed violently.

Those weak Song people, they can't even beat the Jin people, even if they form an alliance with Western Xia, even if they send troops to reinforce, what is the use of fart?

"Go ahead, prepare to send an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin. I have reached this point in Great Xia, and if I don't have strong reinforcements, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with the Tatar invasion. Do you understand? ”

Li Dewang was meaningful, and his eyebrows were twisted into a big "Sichuan" character.

What Li Dewang didn't know was that Genghis Khan was already seriously injured at this time, and as long as he bowed his head, Western Xia might be able to survive for a few more years.

It is a pity that history has no ifs, and history is still in order, rolling forward according to its inherent trajectory, without giving people a chance to regret it.

At the beginning of the fourth year of the Western Xia Dynasty, the Mongolian envoy Xiao Bald and others returned to the Mongolian military camp, added oil and vinegar, and reported to Genghis Khan the rudeness of the Western Xia people, so that the sick Genghis Khan jumped like thunder, and resolutely ordered the two armies to attack the Western Xia, vowing to destroy the Western Xia Dynasty.

A war of annihilation that will go down in history has slowly opened a heavy curtain.
