Chapter 609 Encouraging Xixia to die

"The guilty minister meets Your Majesty!"

Weiming Anhui stood there honestly, and her tone became more honest.

There was nothing we could do about it. In the Sixth Battle between Song and Xia, Xixia lost Yinzhou, and the culprit of all this was the unnamed Anhui.

If it weren't for the support of Jin Guo, Li Qianshun would have chopped up the old dog and thrown it into the ravine to feed wild dogs.

And what is even more depressing now is that Li Qianshun is forced to re-activate Weiming Anhui.

Just because of the pressure from the Kingdom of Jin.

"Forgive me the gift. I will continue to serve as prime minister in the future and make up for my past mistakes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Brother Richard looked calm on the side.

This is the inevitable result of the game between great powers. He will not be stupid enough to stand up and oppose it. That would offend the Kingdom of Jin to death.

Although Brother Richard has a deep trade relationship with the Song Dynasty, it is just a trade relationship. He will not be naive and really kiss the Song Dynasty.

Having Weiming Anhui in court can also make the Kingdom of Jin more peaceful, so that everyone will be better off.

It's just that Weiming Anhui will probably not be able to interfere in military affairs in the future, so he can just play administrative roles.

Han Duo, the envoy of the Jin Dynasty, said with a smile: "I believe that with the assistance of Prime Minister An Hui, the Great Xia Congress will become stronger and stronger."

Brother Richard asked, "What's the matter with the envoy Jin's visit this time?"

This time it was Han Duo who came.

Who is Han Duo?

The son of Han Qixian.

Han Qixian was a famous figure among the Han people in the Jin Kingdom.

The ancestor of Han Qixian, Han Derang, was a man of great influence during the period when the Liao Kingdom was powerful. It is said that he was also the lover of Empress Dowager Xiao and assisted the Empress Dowager Xiao throughout her life.

After the Liao Kingdom fell, such large Han landowner families took refuge in the Jin Kingdom and served the Jin Kingdom.

Many of the systems in the early Jin Dynasty, including the current reformed systems, were created by Han Qixian.

Han Qixian was respected by the Jin people as the most sage among the Han officials, and his status was higher than Liu Yanzong, Shi Liai and others.

As the son of Han Qixian, Han Duo's status is naturally not low.

"To be honest with you, Daxia is on the verge of collapse." Han Duo's words were not surprising and he continued to die.

Li Qianshun was stunned for a moment and murmured in his mind: What kind of medicine is this Jin Envoy selling in his gourd?

Brother Richard smiled and said, "How can the Jin envoy say this?"

This kind of routine of putting pressure on people, instilling fear in them, and then giving a series of deceptive plans is not uncommon.

Han Duo said: "Song will take back Taiyuan and will send troops to Fugu soon. After retaking Fugu, they will hoard heavy troops in the east of your country, establish a deep front, and appease the two lines to supply Yinzhou. At the same time, there will be multiple routes. Attacking Hengshan, how will your country respond?"

"So that's what happened." Brother Richard became very calm and calm, "Gao Qingyi came to mention this matter before, and his tone was exactly the same as yours, but it turned out that the Song army did not attack Fugu."

"Just because we didn't attack in the past doesn't mean we won't attack now or in the future. Once we do, how will your country end up?"

Brother Richard said: "Fugu now belongs to the Jin State, and the Song State wants to attack the Jin State. If I remember correctly, we signed a peace treaty?"

Han Duo said: "The Song State has never legally recognized that Fugu belongs to the Jin State. According to this reason, if the Song army wants to fight back, the Jin State cannot find any reason to refute it from the peace negotiation contract."

What Han Duo said is not a problem.

Fugu and Linzhou were originally from the Song Dynasty, and Zhending, Zhongshan and Hejian in Hebei were also from the Song Dynasty.

These places were declared by the Kingdom of Jin to the outside world as belonging to the Kingdom of Jin, and selected by the Song Dynasty as belonging to the Song Dynasty.

Both sides are still arguing about legal principles and orthodoxy, and there is no final conclusion.

Since there is no conclusion and it is not written into the peace agreement, the Song army's one-day trip to Fugu will not be considered a war as long as they do not directly engage the Jin army.

Then there is a mystery here. If the Song army comes to attack Fugu and the Jin army is not there, it will not be considered a breach of the contract.

This fallacy makes sense, and the main peace faction in the Jin Dynasty, headed by Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyanchang and Wanyan Zongjun, has been clamoring to return the land of the Song Dynasty.

These three people in history also advocated this.

Brother Richard said: "Does your country want to watch the Song army take Fugu back?"

"I'm kindly reminding you that if Fugu is taken back by the Song army, I'm afraid Song will send troops to destroy Xia next."

When he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Because what Han Duo said is really possible.

Li Qianshun said: "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"When I came from Liaoyang, I heard something very important. I think it will be helpful to you."

"Oh, I don't know what's the matter?"

Han Duo said: "Song State raised its troops to conquer Korea."

"Expedition to Korea?" Li Qianshun was stunned for a moment.

Brother Richard was also a little surprised.

The Kingdom of Koryo is too far away for the Xixia people. They don’t know much about the Kingdom of Koryo, but they have heard that there is Koryo in the land east of the sea.

"That's right, the expedition to Korea!" Han Duo repeated, "There are hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer Korea, with at least 300,000 civilians invested, and countless amounts of money and food!"

"Why is this?" Li Qianshun said, "I remember that Goryeo and the Song Dynasty were friendly countries, and Goryeo had admired China for a long time."

Han Duo said: "I heard that someone in Goryeo killed the Song envoy and seized the Song merchant ships, money and food. The Song Lord was furious and raised his troops to attack!"

"Why did Goryeo want to kill the Song envoy?"

Han Duo said: "This is unknown. Goryeo's behavior is indeed a bit excessive. If it were me, I would also attack Goryeo."

Brother Richard took over the topic: "Your Excellency, what you said is not just talk, right?"

"The Song State's army has invested in Goryeo, and the domestic military expenditure is naturally tight. The pressure on the two fronts is huge. If your country now sends a large army to go south to Shaanxi, the Song State will be shaken. The opportunity to return to Yinzhou has come!"

Han Duo smiled sincerely, as if every cell on his face was telling everyone present that he had come all the way from the Kingdom of Jin to tell you this precious news.

Li Qianshun's heart moved, but he still didn't speak.

Li Qianshun is a man with deep knowledge and will not express his position easily.

"The Golden Envoy has come a long way, why don't you go and rest first. We are going to prepare a dinner to welcome the Golden Envoy." Brother Richard said.

Han Duo said: "Thank you very much."

After the others left, Li Qianshun summoned Brother Richard alone.

"What do you think about this?"

Brother Richard said: "The words of the Jin envoy are obviously half true and half false, just to make us believe that they are true."

"Which half is true and which half is false?"

"It is true that the Song Dynasty conquered Korea. He cannot lie about this kind of thing. We will know after we go to Tokyo City to verify it."

"Which half is false?"

"The Kingdom of Jin didn't know why the Song Dynasty attacked Goryeo. This story is false."

"Is this matter important?" Li Qianshun asked, "Why did the Jin envoy lie?"
