Chapter 530: Turning the Tide, Yelu Nanxian
The 300,000 army has gone and has not returned, Li Ruolan has also lost contact, and the people in the entire Xingqing Mansion City are in fear of destroying the country.
Because the two states of Ganliang behind Helan Mountain were lost, the Western Xia people had no way to retreat, that is, they had lost their strategic depth, so whether the Western Xia was destroyed depends on how long Xingqing Mansion can hold out.
The monks of Chengtian Monastery, led by Sumpa, had already begun to perform a large number of rituals, begging the Buddha to save the Western Xia, a country devoted to Buddhism.
600,000 troops surrounded Xingqing Mansion, even if Songba conceited his unparalleled dragon elephant skills, he could only look at the ocean and sigh, the ocean here is naturally the sea of people laid out by the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty under the city, in front of such a sea of people, what kind of martial arts will not help.
Emperor Li Qianshun was not idle, he found the queen Yelu Nanxian to plead, begging Yelu Nanxian to move the Liao State to help.
The Western Xia was about to perish, and Yelu Nanxian, the princess of the Liao Kingdom, who was the queen of the Western Xia, naturally refused to sit idly by, even if she didn't think about her husband Li Qianshun, she had to take into account the future of her son Li Renai. Therefore, she specially wrote a letter and implored her mother's family to mediate.
On the surface, Yelu Nanxian's status in the Western Xia Kingdom is very respectful, and she is the only concubine of Li Qianshun so far, and there is no one. In order to show his loyalty to the Liao State, Li Qianshun has never contaminated any other woman in the Western Xia harem, let alone canonized a certain woman as a concubine.
Speaking of which, it was not easy for Li Qianshun to marry Yelu Nanxian, who had asked Emperor Tianzuo of Liao for marriage three times, and Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzuo didn't take this proposal seriously at first, and then saw that he begged again and again, so he married a princess to Western Xia, the daughter of the clan, Yelu Nanxian, which was perfunctory.
Like Li Ruolan, Li Qianshun was an emperor who put political interests first, and respecting Yelu Nanxian was respecting the Liao State. In fact, he basically has no conjugal affection for Yelu Nanxian, even if the two have a son, Li Renai, it is just a derivative of politics.
If it weren't for the fact that Western Xia was in jeopardy during this Song-Xia War, Li Qianshun would have already begun to cooperate with the Jin State to destroy Liao.
Another history in time and space is that Tong Guan returned to the dynasty with only a small victory with the five-way army, so the Western Xia, who was not injured at all, still secretly communicated with the Jin State and secretly sided with the Jin State in the Jin-Liao War.
The Liao State helped the Western Xia to mediate the Song-Xia War, but the Western Xia did not send troops to assist the Great Liao in destroying the Jin, what is this not on the side of the Jin State?
At the same time as secretly communicating with the Jin State, Li Qianshun canonized a Han woman surnamed Ren as the queen, and completely snubbed Yelu Nanxian, and Yelu Nanxian died of hunger strike after hearing about the destruction of the Liao State.
But in this time and space, the trajectory of history has changed, and in the current situation, the Liao State is Li Qianshun's last life-saving straw, so he must treat Yelu Nanxian as a bodhisattva.
So in fact, Yelu Nanxian's fate has changed because of Bai Sheng's crossing. Of course, before her fate changed, the first thing that changed was the national fortunes of Western Xia. And if she wants to continue to be in the world of Western Xia Muyi, she must turn the tide in this battle to destroy the country.
Yelu Nanxian's letter is related to the survival of Western Xia, and it can be described as ten thousand gold, but this letter alone is not enough, and the person who sent the letter cannot be an ordinary person, and must be qualified enough to meet Emperor Tianzuo.
Yelu Nanxian herself could not return to Liao, because that would give the impression that the Tangut people would abandon their homes and businesses and be alone, so she chose this person on Yelu Guyi.
In the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Guyu's identity is far higher than that of Yelu Nanxian, as long as she is willing to help talk about it, Emperor Tianzuo will definitely help.
Yelu Gu wanted to have no opinion, and immediately agreed to Yelu Nanxian's request, even if it wasn't for this, she also wanted to return to China, because it was not peaceful here in Western Xia, and her sister Yelu Nanxian could only stay here, and she couldn't make this trip to the troubled waters, in case the Xingqing Mansion was broken, what if Song Jun mistakenly took her as the concubine of Western Xia?
Yelu Gu wanted to agree, but there were more than 2,000 miles from Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia to Dading Mansion in Zhongjing in Liao State, and it would take at least more than a month to come and go, according to the madness of the Song army's siege at this time, Xingqing Mansion could not hold on for a month at all.
Therefore, before inviting the mediation of the Liao State, it is also necessary to make a move to delay the army, and this delay plan of course also falls on Yelu Guyu and Yelu Moge - shoot an arrow letter at the head of the city, informing the Great Song army to suspend the attack, and the princess of Liao and the privy envoy of the Southern Court of Liao asked to meet with the commander of the Song army.
Tong Guan met with the Liao envoy Yelu Moge and the Western Xia national teacher Songba and Yelu Guyu in the Chinese military tent on the east bank of the Yellow River.
The war against Western Xia was at a critical juncture, and if the Liao State sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty would definitely be finished.
Yelu Moge and Tong Guan have similar positions, both of them are privy envoys of their respective countries, but Yelu Moge, the privy envoy, is the southern privy council of Liao, and the privy council of Liao is divided into north and south, while Tong Guan, the privy envoy, is not divided into north and south, and governs the overall situation.
Although it seems that Tong Guan has a higher position than Yelu Moge, when the two met in the Chinese military tent, Tong Guan was very humble and gave Yelu Moge enough face.
Although he was overwhelmed in this war and won a series of big victories, he was full of enthusiasm at this time, but he still had to keep a low profile in the face of his colleagues in Liao, so as not to cause trouble that he couldn't hold.
Yelu's lustful appearance made the eyes of the entire Chinese military tent straighten, I have seen beautiful women, but I have never seen such a coquettish beauty, but she still looks very dignified and dignified.
Of course, these direct eyeballs do not include our Tong Dashuai, Tong Dashuai does not have Xiao Dingding, no matter how bewitching his beauty is, it can't arouse his coveting.
Yelu Gu wanted to bluntly say that she was here to find Zhao Kai, and Zhao Kai was put back into the Great Song Army by "Li Ruolan", saying that it was to paralyze the vigilance of the Great Song Army, and she also knew about it.
Zhao Kai was really in Tong Guan's handsome tent, and he was very embarrassed when he saw Yelu Guyi.
Now that he has entered the sea and returned to the mountains and forests, he is eager to draw a line with Yelu Guyi and women like Li Ruolan, as long as there is still a trace of desire for the throne in his heart, he can't remain ambiguous with a woman of their status.
Yelu Moge got straight to the point, expressing his hope that the war between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia would end here, and how to mediate would wait for Yelu Gu to return to China and ask Emperor Tianzuo before making plans, but at present, this Xingqing Mansion should not be fought again.
Because of the lack of authority, Yelu Moge did not dare to directly represent the Liao State to arbitrate this war, in case the opinions expressed were contrary to Emperor Tianzuo, and if he went back, he would lose his official position and be convicted, and he would not be able to save his life.
But he at least needs to protect Xingqing Mansion from being breached for Yelu Nanxian.
Tong Guan looked embarrassed, and said that this war was initiated by the official family, and the specific extent of the fight depends on the meaning of the official family, after all, I am the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty and not the Great Liao.
Yelu Moge had a tough attitude and said that if you continue to attack Xingqing Mansion, my Liao State will regard your Great Song Dynasty as having declared war on Liao, because there are not only Yelu Nanxian and Liao State Post House in Xingqing Mansion City, but also many people of Liao State.
Tong Guan had no choice but to put forward an exchange condition, asking Xingqing Mansion to allocate ten days of grain storage to reward the Song Dynasty soldiers, and give ten days of food, then only surround and not fight within ten days.
After ten days, another ten days of food will be allocated, and then it will be surrounded for ten days, and so on six times, waiting for two months, if you can't wait for the mediation of the Liao State and the will of the Great Song Dynasty, then it will not be my child's failure to give face.
The reason why the ten days and ten days are allocated is also to show the sincerity of the Great Song army, if you directly ask for two months of military rations, then the Western Xia side will inevitably think: You will go out of the grain in our city, and then break your promise and attack as usual, isn't that directly breaking the city?
Under the mediation of Yelu Mogo, the Western Xia negotiator, Umba, reached an agreement with Tong Guan.
The negotiations ended in a friendly atmosphere, and at the end Yelu Moge asked the Great Song Dynasty to send 4,000 troops to escort Yelu Gu to return to Zhongjing of Liao.
Western Xia no longer has the ability to allocate troops and horses to escort Yelu Guyi, but the Great Song can, and an army of 600,000 has no effect if there are more than 4,000 people and 4,000 people less.
Out of the friendship between the Liao and Song dynasties, Tong Guan readily agreed to Yelu Moge's request, only to be a little embarrassed when he ordered the generals, because the generals of the Great Song Dynasty rushed to escort Yelu Guyu, and the most enthusiastic one was Wei Xianda, the younger brother of Concubine Wei Xian.
