When the Great Song Dynasty came to the dynasty, it was prosperous and exciting, while the Western Xia, on the contrary, was defeated in the Song Dynasty wars one after another, and the whole country was gloomy.

"In the third battle of Pingxia City, Western Xia was defeated again!"

It was difficult for the entire Western Xia to accept this fact.

Since this battle took place in the territory of Western Xia, although the Xia army did not attack Pingxia City, the Song army fought from Pingxia City, and the final battlefield was not far from Pingxia City, and Song Xia invariably classified it as the third battle of Pingxia City.

However, this was even more difficult for the Western Xia to accept, they were defeated in the field battles they were best at, and if they had not won the previous two sieges, the Western Xia might have been able to find an excuse for themselves.

The field battle was defeated head-on, and the last piece of Western Xia was immediately swept down.

"Western Xia has declined!"

In Western Xia, people's hearts fluctuated, and Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, as the coach, suddenly lost her prestige.

"Western Xia is fighting to the death with the Great Song Dynasty, where is the Liao State?"

In the Xixia Palace, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's pretty face was covered with frost, and she said coldly.

How could she not know that the government and the opposition accused her, and now she has to find an excuse for herself, and the Liao State, which did not send troops in this battle, is her best excuse.

"Empress Dowager Qi, there is news from a secret agent that the Liao State only stationed 200,000 troops in Nanjing, Liao State, and did not go to war with a single soldier, but after getting the order of one million yuan from the Great Song Dynasty, he directly withdrew his troops, leaving Xixia to fight against the Great Song Dynasty alone, and the defeat of this battle was not in the Queen Mother, but in the Liao State to reneg on the covenant." Liang Yikui heard the strings and knew what he meant, and he played at the moment.

"Liao deceived people too much, it was the Liao State that ordered the two countries to send troops to conspire with the Great Song Dynasty, but now the Liao State has received the benefits of the Great Song Dynasty and let the Western Xia fight against the Great Song Dynasty alone, which created the defeat of the Western Xia. Empress Dowager Xiao Liang was furious and immediately blamed all the faults on the Liao State.

Wei Ming Ah Wu persuaded and said: "The Queen Mother thinks twice, if the Western Xia has suffered successive defeats and the national strength is greatly reduced, the Song army is in full swing, and the Western Xia still needs to rely on the Liao State, this matter should not offend the Liao Emperor!" ”

Wei Ming Ah Wu knew that the situation of Western Xia was extremely dangerous, and now the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty were getting stronger and stronger, only the Western Xia was the weakest, and if he offended the Liao State again, then the situation of Western Xia would be dangerous.

Liang Yiqi snorted coldly: "Do you think that the Liao State really takes Western Xia in its eyes? This battle was ordered by the Liao State, and as a result, the Liao State betrayed its trust, forgot its righteousness when it saw profit, if the Western Xia did not speak out, how could it establish a country! ”

Many Liang henchmen echoed one after another, and the Liao State did not do a good job in this matter, directly treating Xixia as a gun, and using Xixia for his own benefit.

Wei Ming Ah Wu frowned and said: "The Liao State also wrote to explain that the Liao State did not find a fighter, and when it was about to send troops at the appointed time, it was threatened by the rear of the Great Song Thousand Fleet, so it did not send troops. ”

Liang Yiqi sneered: "This is just an excuse!" Liao has countless elite soldiers, tens of thousands of sailors, how can they threaten the Great Liao, from this point of view, the Liao Emperor must be watching the battle situation of the Song and Xia, if the Western Xia wins, the Liao State can submit the Great Song Dynasty without spending a single soldier, if the Western Xia is defeated, the Liao State sees that there is no chance of victory, and gets the benefits of the Great Song Dynasty, and directly withdraws the army. ”

The hundred officials of Western Xia couldn't help but be silent, how could they not know the abacus of the Liao State, but who made the Liao State powerful, and the Western Xia could only rely on the Liao State.

"The Liao State is using my Western Xia as a gunman!" Empress Dowager Xiao Liang was furious, even the mud bodhisattva had three points of anger, not to mention that Empress Dowager Xiao Liang was arrogant all her life, where could she stand these nests.

At that moment, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang personally wrote a letter of state, questioning the Liao State, and at the same time directly asked the Liao State to use Yelu Nanyin and his relatives as compensation to share the benefits of the Silk Road on the road.

"The Queen Mother is wise!" Liang Yikui had a compliment on his face, but he secretly sneered in his heart, Empress Dowager Xiao Liang questioned the Liao State like this, which would definitely cause Yelu Hongji's dissatisfaction, and then the Liang Dynasty Xia would have both the support of the Great Song Dynasty and the acquiescence of the Liao State, and the chances of success would be greatly increased.

Liang Yiyi returned to the Liang family with great ambition, and his son-in-law Liang Yiheng stepped forward and whispered: "Father, there is an old man visiting!" ”

Liang Yiqi couldn't help but be shocked, he naturally knew that the old man in his son-in-law's mouth was the person from the Great Song Dynasty.

"Take him to the chamber!" Liang Yiqi commanded.

"Yes! Father! Liang Yiheng nodded.

……………………

In the secret room, Song Shang Lu Dong was waiting quietly, and when he saw Liang Yiqi coming in, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister, a big event can be expected!" ”

Liang Yikui stared at Lu Dong, frowned, and said, "This is a critical moment, why do you take the risk to see your true nature!" ”

According to the agreement, the two exchanged information and would only meet at critical moments, and now it was at the critical moment when he was executing the Liang family's Daixia, and Lu Dong's sudden request to see him couldn't help but think a little more.

Lu Dong arched his hand and said: "I came to the next adventure, naturally for the great cause of the prime minister, I heard that the prime minister is ambitious, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng personally offered a party for the prime minister." ”

"Evil Doctor Fan Zheng's evil prescription?" Liang Yiqi raised his eyebrows.

Fan Zheng is the favorite of the little emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not surprising to know that he wants the plan of the Liang family to represent Xia, what really makes him excited is that the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng has never been defeated, if he can get the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, the plan of the Liang family will be perfect.

"Come on!" Liang Yiqi couldn't wait.

Lu Dong said solemnly: "Fan Taicheng's evil recipe is that the prime minister of the state gives up the Liang family to replace Xia and adopts the Liang family's policy of dividing the country. ”

"The Liang clan divides the country!"

Liang Yiqi was suddenly startled, and looked at Lu Dong in disbelief, he had always heard that the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng was unexpected, but the evil prescription of the Liang family still caught him off guard.

"Why is that?" Liang Yiqi frowned.

Lu Dong explained: "The most populous in Western Xia is the party and the Han nationality, if the Liang family is the Xia, the party departments will definitely not be convinced, and the risk will increase, Fan Taicheng bluntly said that if the minister of the country forcibly the Liang family to replace the Xia, the chance of success is less than three percent."

If the Prime Minister adopts the strategy of dividing the country of the Liang family, just like Li Yuanhao established the Western Xia on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Western Xia has just been defeated and the troops are insufficient, coupled with the support of the Great Song Dynasty and the support of the Han people in the Western Xia, the chance of success is as high as seventy percent. ”

"Seventy percent chance!"

Liang Yikui was suddenly excited, rebellion is a job with his head, if he can have a seventy percent chance, it is almost the same as a certainty, plus there is a lesson from Li Yuanhao's founding of the country, Liang Yikui naturally knows that this strategy has a great chance of success.

"That's all it takes, it all depends on how the prime minister chooses!" After passing the word, Lu Dong left apologetically.

"The Liang clan is divided into Xia and the Liang clan."

After Lu Dong left, Liang Yi stood in a daze for a long time, unable to make a decision for a long time.

"Father, the child thinks that the Liang family is the most feasible to divide the country!" His son Liang Yiheng sent Lu Dong away, and when he saw that his father was still hesitating, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Why?" Liang Yiqi frowned.

Liang Yiheng gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone in the world knows that the evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil formula is not broken, since this prescription is from the evil doctor Fan Zheng, it will definitely be successful, and Li Yuanhao was founded by this law back then, in this case, why didn't the Liang family take the road to success, but took risks and wanted the Liang family to replace Xia." ”

The rebellion of the Liang family is a major event of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, since there is a safe and successful method, it is naturally better, and Liang Yiheng naturally supports the division of the Liang family.

Liang Yiwei suddenly fell into contemplation, and after a long time, he slowly shook his head and said: "The evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng is indeed very likely to succeed, this prescription is more beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, once the Liang family divides the country, the Western Xia and the Western Xia Kingdom will be divided into the Xia Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom, and the national strength will definitely be greatly damaged, and it will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Song State, but the Liang State will still rely on the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Liang Yiheng's face changed, he understood that what his father said was the truth, and he wanted to ask for stability, that is, the Liang family divided the country, the Western Xia was divided into two, and the entire Western Xia was not the opponent of the Great Song Dynasty, let alone half of the Liang State that was divided by Western Xia.

If you want to take risks, that is, the Liang family will replace the entire Western Xia and continue to stand with Song Liao.

"If it was before, my father might have chosen the Liang family to divide the country, and then slowly map the entire Western Xia, but now Song Liao controls the land Silk Road and the other controls the maritime Silk Road, and its national strength is getting stronger and stronger, if the Western Xia is divided, it will be the next Qingtang, and sooner or later it will be destroyed in the hands of the two countries." Liang Yiqi sneered.

I have to say that Liang Yikui is old and spicy, and he can see the changes in the Great Song Dynasty at a glance, and the current Great Song Dynasty is no longer a weak and bullying Great Song, but a dragon that is slowly awakening.

"In this case, if the Liang family doesn't rebel, with an aunt here, the Liang family can't get out." Liang Yiheng said tentatively.

Liang Yiwei smiled bitterly and said: "How can the Liang family control the court and be willing to let go of power, now that your cousin is growing up, how can the pro-government tolerate the Liang family in the future, not to mention that the death of the first emperor has a lot to do with the Liang family, even if the Liang family has no objection, in the end, it can only escape the death of the clan." ”

Liang Yiheng was suddenly struck by lightning, the party in Western Xia was powerful, and the Liang family was extremely risky, although the Liang family was stable, it could only be subject to the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and it was only a matter of time before the country was destroyed, but even if the Liang family was motionless at present, it would be difficult to escape in the future.

Three roads are placed in front of the Liang family, and no matter which one of them is the point of no return.

"And how is my father going to choose?" Liang Yiheng said solemnly.

Liang Yikui took a deep breath and said, "Liang Dai Xia! ”

Liang Yiheng was shocked, but he didn't expect his father to still choose this most difficult path.

"The Liang clan is indeed the most risky, but the benefits are also the greatest, once successful, the Liang clan will fully take over the power of Western Xia, and only then will there be a chance to compete with Song Liao for hegemony and dominate the world!" Liang Yiqi said proudly.

"If it'............!" Liang Yiheng worried, after all, Western Xia is the world of the party, although the Liang family controls the court, but the strength of the party nobles is still extremely huge.

Liang Yikui said lightly: "If it fails, your aunt is the queen mother of the dynasty, can you still make the Liang family punish the nine clans, of course, you and my father and son will definitely die, this is the price that anyone who wants to rebel must bear." ”

"Yes! Father! Liang Yiheng saw his father's decision, and said helplessly.

……………………

Just when Liang Yiwei was preparing for the Liang Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's letter of state was quickly sent to Shangjing in Liao.

"The Book of the Western Xia Kingdom!"

The Liao Kingdom was suddenly embarrassed, and he didn't understand that the Xixia Xingshi was asking for the guilt.

Sure enough, when Yelu Hongji opened the Western Xia State Book, his face suddenly changed.

"Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was so loud that she took the opportunity to marry my granddaughter when she accused Liao of not sending troops, and she also wanted to get involved in the land Silk Road." Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji snorted coldly and said, this time the Liao State retreated, he had already sent a messenger to explain to the Western Xia that it was because of the threat of the Great Song Sea Road, and it was obvious that the Western Xia did not accept this excuse.

"Your Majesty is angry, this time it is indeed my great Liao's loss, maybe I can appease Western Xia." The ministers of the Liao State persuaded him.

Western Xia is an ally of Liao, has always been respectful, in the face of the Great Song Dynasty has been advancing and retreating with the Liao State, the Western Xia defeat, the Liao State from the Great Song Dynasty to obtain a million orders to retreat, it is indeed a little inappropriate.

Yelu Yanxi snorted coldly: "The defeat of Western Xia is the incompetence of Western Xia, my Great Liao has already contained the main force of the Great Song Dynasty in the north, and the Western Xia did not attack the city in this battle, and even lost to the Great Song Dynasty in the field, which is simply extremely incompetent." ”

Yelu Yanxi was bent on destroying the Great Song Dynasty, and originally wanted to take advantage of the great victory of Western Xia, and the Liao State took the opportunity to send troops to destroy the Song State, and at the worst of all, he would drag down the Royal Bank of the Great Song Dynasty.

But who would have thought that Western Xia would be so useless, and would be defeated by the Song State in the field battle, such an unbearable record, so that Yelu Yanxi no longer had the guilt he had before, and turned dissatisfied.

"His Royal Highness Taisun is angry, although the Western Xia is incompetent, but after all, it is an ally of the Liao State, and now the Great Song Dynasty is desperate for military force, and there is a new type of earth-shaking thunder to help, you must not let the Western Xia centrifuge the Liao State." The ministers of the Liao State persuaded one after another.

Yelu Yanxi arched his hand to Yelu Hongji and said: "In the opinion of the emperor and grandson, the Western Xia has lost consecutive battles, and the biggest responsibility is the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, who has been in power in the Western Xia dynasties, and has the upper hand over the Great Song Dynasty, but the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang has poured the national strength of the Western Xia, and has lost three battles and three defeats, which is simply a wine bag and rice bag." ”

The hundred officials of the Liao State nodded one after another, the Western Xia established the country by force, the force was extremely strong, the Western Xia attacked the Song State, and the Liao State was responsible for mediation, it can be said that the cooperation was seamless, and both sides sucked blood from the Great Song Dynasty.

However, since the defeat of Xixia Pingxia City, the Western Xia has been defeated in successive battles, and the Liao State has to stand up for the Western Xia, and now it has been defeated again and again, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang will be unable to escape the blame.

"The emperor and grandson think that it is better to abolish the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang and support the little emperor of Western Xia to ascend to the throne, maybe it can make Western Xia rise again and create some trouble for the Great Song Dynasty?" Yelu Yanxi said with a smile.

Yelu Hongji frowned and said: "The little emperor of Western Xia is only twelve years old, and he abolished the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, how to control the power of Western Xia, I am afraid that he can only be taken advantage of by the Song State." ”

Yelu Yanxi said proudly: "What's so difficult about this! Since the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang is not asking for peace, then she will be reconciled with the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, the power of the Liao State can be controlled by the Liang family, and my Liao princess can naturally control it! ”

"Are you going to let Nanyin marry to Western Xia?" Yelu Hongji frowned.

Yelu Nanyin is not only his favorite granddaughter, but also controls the overland Silk Road, if he marries the little emperor of Western Xia, it will not be to share millions of Silk Road profits every year with Western Xia.

Yelu Yanxi shook his head and said: "Naturally not, the imperial grandfather only needs to find a clan daughter from the royal family and make her a princess, but then get rid of the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, in this way, the little emperor is young, and the power of Western Xia will not be in the hands of my Liao State." ”

Yelu Hongji was moved, but he said cautiously: "This matter needs to be considered in the long run!" ”

Yelu Yanxi smiled slightly, he knew that the emperor's grandfather must have been moved.
