"I have prepared what I ask for. I don't know what I want?!" Emperor Zhao Xu smiled slightly and handed the two envelopes in his hand to Wang Jinghui.

"Don't the Lord know what is in this envelope?" Wang Jinghui also asked back very cunningly.

"I have built a feudal residence for Bingchang in Kaifeng, and the rest depends on my dear!" A cold look flashed in Emperor Zhao Xu's eyes.

"I am just accompanying Aliti in circles to give the vassal states of the Song Dynasty a satisfactory explanation. The real efforts are the Duke of Han, Zhong Yan and Wang Shao. If the emperor believes that it is time to take action, he will win the greatest victory in one go!" Wang Jinghui said coldly.

"What is the greatest victory?"

"It depends on which Wang Shao or Zhong Yan is more capable! However, according to my estimate, if we consider the in-laws between Liao and Xia, it would not be impossible for the ruler of Xixia to seek refuge in Liao. Therefore, the biggest result is that Xixia's only legal heir, Bingchang!" Wang Jinghui said coldly.

Wang Jinghui was also very worried because in history, the Jin and Song Dynasty conspired to destroy the Liao Kingdom, but the emperor of the Liao Kingdom then ran to Xixia and was taken in and protected by the Xixia emperor. Although under the threat of the Jin Kingdom, Xixia finally handed over the last emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Wang Jinghui was unwilling to see this similar situation repeat itself now.

Xixia was a primary school country, and its national strength was far more powerful than people saw. This can be seen from the fact that Wang Jinghui had consumed most of the national strength of Xixia alone. The remaining cavalry battles may be stronger than the Song Dynasty, but after the Song Dynasty strengthened this aspect, it could also gain the upper hand through strategies, strategies, firearms and other means. Even if it was not good on the battlefield, it could still drag Xixia to death by consuming its national strength.

In addition to the Xixia country, it also regards itself as an independent country. The senior leaders between the Song and Liao countries have always looked at Xixia from the perspective of a vassal state. Although the Song Dynasty, who was defeated by Xixia, still regarded Xixia in the same way, and Emperor Zhao Xu himself was even more so. If we use this to infer that when the dream of a "big power" of the Xixia high-level leaders broke down, it was not a strange thing to switch to Liao. After all, although the Liao and Xixia are not the same race, they are both nomadic peoples and have very similarities in their cultural origins.

In terms of the relationship between the Three Kingdoms, the Liao Kingdom was the longest-standing, but in terms of system, it mainly learned from the Song Dynasty; while the Western Xia learned from the Song Dynasty system, it was more likely to learn from the Liao Kingdom. While learning about the Han people's governance, Liao and Xia did not forget to maintain their true nature. Originally, the ethnic groups of the two countries had no writings, but the founders of both countries imitated Chinese characters to create their own national characters. Although these characters were more complicated and inconvenient than Chinese characters. Even the knowledgeable people in their country had great complaints about this, but in Wang Jinghui's eyes, Yelu Abaoji and Li Yuanhao, who founded the Khitan language and Dangxiang language, deservedly foresight. It is cultural independence that leads to the independence of the country. These two founders understand better than anyone else. If you want a long-term country, you must have your own unique culture, even if the root of this culture comes from the Han people!

Yelu Abaoji and Li Yuanhao's approach. In this era, only Wang Jinghui truly understood it. Later Japan tried every means to do so. After obtaining North Korea, sulfur balls and Taiwan from the Qing Dynasty, Japan immediately abolished the original texts on these new territories and taught only Japanese in the school, in order to rule for a long time and turn the people here into Japanese. Wang Jinghui read this trick a lot in later history books, so he understood the profound meaning of it. To destroy a civilization or a country, the best way is not to war and kill, but to fundamentally solve this problem from a cultural perspective.

The Song Dynasty destroyed the Western Xia. This would definitely arouse the Dangxiang people's anger towards the Han people. Instead of joining the Song Dynasty, it would be better to join the Liao Kingdom, which was similar to their own culture. This would be a slave to the collapse of the country, but there was no psychological burden. The top leaders of the Western Xia rule could also reduce their guilt and use it as a fig leaf.

After hearing this, Emperor Zhao Xu was silent for a while and said, "Do you think Bingchang will really join the Khitan?"

"It's not whether Bingchang wants to do it or not, but whether Empress Dowager Liang wants to do it or not! I think that the final destruction of Xia should be slow and fast. Although there is only one last step left to disintegrate Xixia, we must be cautious, otherwise we cannot achieve the full success in one battle. In the end, the benefits will be taken away by the Liao Kingdom, which is a bit of a flaw!"

"The plan will be released?"

"I heard that Aliti brought huge wealth with him..."

"Well!" Although Emperor Zhao Xu was a little confused, the son-in-law had a reputation for "loving money" and would not forget as long as it was money. It seemed that this thought was on Aliti again.

"The emperor might as well discuss with Mr. Junshi and Mr. Jiefu, so that they could secretly instruct some important officials. When Ali came to pay bribes, he might as well accept them all!"

"Ah?!" Emperor Zhao Xu changed his qualities.

"This is also in An Aliti's heart. I guess this wealth will be worth one or two million yuan after all, so don't let the wealth delivered to you in vain! After Aliti finished bribery and entered the treasury of the Song Dynasty, he would have a peace talk with him. Why would I agree to the peace beg of Xixia in the peace talks!" Wang Jinghui said with a smile.

"Isn't this letting the tiger return to the mountain?!" Emperor Zhao Xu said angrily.

"Master, after this dynasty was established, Emperor Taizu set the rules of "strong, weak branches" when building the framework of this dynasty. It is not only economically, but also military. Does the priest think that the Xixia can be cleaned up just by relying on the original garrison in the northwest? I heard that in order to expand the results of the war, Wang Shao and Zhong Yan transferred all the defenders in the rear to the front line. The defense power of the rear cities was not even as good as half of the past. Isn't the priest worried about this?!" Wang Jinghui said coldly.

"This... this is really a pity. Even if Wang Shaozhongyan did this, it seems that there should be no major problem now! I have issued an order to mobilize the army to the northwest to supplement it. I believe this situation will change a lot!" Emperor Zhao Xu said guiltily.

"I want to reach a peace treaty between Song and Xia to make some necessary preparations for the Northwest battlefield. Only when the Northwest troops reach a certain level can they be easily resolved no matter what happens there. Otherwise, they will have to take risks to destroy Xia. Such victory is too dangerous and the fruit may not be able to be preserved. The Liao Kingdom now knows that the Duke of Wei is in charge of all the lines in Hebei, so the king and ministers of Liao Kingdom will never dare to start a war in the direction of Hebei, but instead turn to the west. If the Heqing Army on Xijing Road and the Jin Su army break into Ningbianzhou, that kind of defense line will be dangerous!" Wang Jinghui said lightly.

Emperor Zhao Xu's face changed after hearing this - it was obviously impossible for the Liao Kingdom to sit idly by the Western Xia and do nothing, so the situation mentioned by the prince-consort would probably happen. Although the Song Dynasty could defend its land by virtue of geographical advantages, it had to give up its plan to attack Xixia on the Western Front. The remaining Wang Shao's strength was still very strong. But Wang Shao had to face the 800-mile vast sea, which was a natural barrier for Western Xia. The two armies were fighting there. Obviously, the Dangxiang people had the advantage of the geographical advantages, not to mention that the transportation of supplies from the Xihe area was too long.

"A strategy to delay the army?" Emperor Zhao Xu smiled slightly, "What is the purpose of these two documents?"

"Yes. It's a delaying strategy! After the peace agreement between Song and Xia reached, even a temporary armistice agreement, the Lord and the Privy Council can calmly and secretly increase troops to the northwest. This process is probably not long. This is a period of time when the "Armature Armistice Agreement" was signed. When the Song Dynasty was in the northwest, it was time for these two documents to work. With them, the Song Dynasty could send troops to pacify Xia without any hesitation. The Liao Kingdom would not have any effect if it wanted to interfere with it!" Wang Jinghui said lightly.

"My dear plan is very good!" Emperor Zhao Xu said with a smile.

"The Master of the Concubine is a mistake, but this is just a general idea. The Master of the Concubine will also call on the ministers to discuss and improve them before implementing them. In that way, there will be fewer loopholes. I will work with the Imperial City Department to attack the Liaoxia spies in the Song Dynasty, so that they cannot know the accurate direction of the Song Dynasty's troops, so as not to lose their plan!" Wang Jinghui said with a smile.

"Come on, write a piece of writing! Without further ado, I will write a strategy here. I can also summon the ministers to discuss. I can understand your painstaking efforts. If you have memorials, you don't have to be included among the ministers!" Emperor Zhao Xu said.

"Thank you, the priest, for understanding the difficulties of me! But the memorial has been written, and the priest knows that my two words are really hard to see. This memorial was copied by Eunuch Zhao!" After Wang Jinghui smiled and said, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and presented it to Emperor Zhao Xu with both hands.

The Wushu of the Three Yas was usually in charge of the imperial guards, but had no power to dispatch them. The Privy Council and the Three Yashu were in charge of the "power to send troops" and "power to hold troops" to restrain each other. Song Chuji released the military power to target these senior officials of the imperial guards. Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi, Gao Huaide and others were not only the generals of the imperial guards, the military governors, and the heroes of Yi Dai, but also had a high prestige among the imperial guards. This was naturally a major hidden danger. Therefore, the Emperor Taizu of Song Zhao Kuangyin, the Emperor of Song, naturally did not want him or his descendants to be fooled by others, and formulated such a structure to trap the military generals and prevent them from rebelling.

However, there will be exceptions in everything. A border-guarding general like Zhong Yan, Wang Shao, can mobilize his troops to seize the opportunity to expand the results of the war when the emperor or his superiors or even himself see a favorable opportunity. However, the risk of doing so is extremely high. Zhong Yan, a "destructor", has had such bad records many times. As a special area where wars often break out, the Northwest War Zone has given the general greater freedom, so Zhong Yan can participate repeatedly in this situation, and it has become an anomaly in the political circle of the Song Dynasty.

However, the Song Dynasty is about to launch a battle to destroy Xia, which is not something that the Northwest War Zone can bear. Emperor Taizu and Taizong planted the tone of "inner and external virtuality" in the failure of the battle against Liao, and later the battle process against the Western Xia was even weaker. If Fan Zhongyan and Di Wuxiang were not included, the northwest of the Song Dynasty would be really dangerous.

If you want to be safe and stable, without leaving any troubles in the destruction of Xia, then increasing troops is imperative. Emperor Zhao Xu also accepted Wang Jinghui's suggestion and used a slow-strike strategy to confuse Western Xia, thereby providing the necessary preparation time for the final battle to destroy Xia. In addition to the large increase in troops in the northwest of the war, Wang Jinghui focused more on the reaction that the Liao Dynasty might have in the launch of the war to sank Xia. For this Liao Kingdom, which has been an old opponent for a hundred years, Wang Jinghui emphasized so much.

Bimo is to consider the Liao Kingdom. It is not abrupt that all the people participating in the meeting can organize it. On the contrary, this consideration won the approval of everyone. In their opinion, Liaoxia is one, and the actions of either side will attract strong response from the other side. When the Liao Kingdom was eroding the Western Xia, it was probably because the military exercises in Hebei greatly shocked the Liao Kingdom. Now, once the Pingxia War was launched, the Liao Kingdom would probably take risks for the long-term plan in the future!

With the authorization of the emperor, all the ministers of the Central Secretariat agreed, and the Privy Council and the Sanyasi immediately organized secret troops to increase troops in the northwest with unprecedented efficiency. The production of firearms on Tianfei Island was also fully funded and operated at full capacity. The firearm products changed the distribution method of the previous distribution. The distribution ratio of firearms in Biandu, Hebei and Northwest immediately turned off, and the share of firearms obtained in the northwest was 70% of the output, and the remaining 30% was sent to Hebei to prepare for a counterattack against the Liao Kingdom.

Given that the incendiary bombs were amazingly performed in the Li Quan chain of Muzhai. When the monarchs of the Song Dynasty learned that this incendiary bomb with a shocking power far exceeds that of ordinary gunpowder weapons, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty immediately decided to expand three incendiary bomb workshops again and fully produce this new bomb. However, unlike the direction of the firearms, half of the production of incendiary bombs is supplied to the city defense of the Bian Capital. The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty agreed that there was such a super weapon in hand. With only about 200,000 imperial guards near the Bian Capital, they could completely resist the siege of 500,000 cavalry of the Liao Kingdom. This is also an important basis for the large number of troops from the Central Plains to go to the northwest to participate in the war to destroy Xia. With sufficient incendiary bombs in hand, the Central Plains imperial guards could safely go west to pacify Xia!

Wang Jinghui is no longer in the mood to evaluate the military decisions in the court. He is generally justified in terms of strategy for the war, but when it comes to the specific action, it is left to experts in this field - such as Zhong Yan, Wang Shao, Guo Kui, even Han Qi and Fu Bi, who are much more powerful than him. His main energy is how to send his old rival Aliti home without silence. This old guy is well versed in politics and his understanding of the political system and rules of the Song Dynasty is probably more profound than Wang Jinghui. Although it is an acting role, this play must be performed with enough weight - this is what makes Wang Jinghui the most headache.

However, when Emperor Zhao Xu only found Wang Anshi and Sima Guang to enter the palace and discussed specifically about how to deal with Ali's problems. In the emperor's vague words, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both knew the so-called "encouraging the acceptance of bribes" this time, but Zeng Gongliang was still doing this with Wen Yanbo in specific operation. Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were too famous, and Wang Anshi was better, but he was stronger than Sima Guang in Tongquanda. As long as it was not involved in hindering and questioning the reform, Wang Anshi was too lazy to take action. Sima Guang was far behind this. He was a leader in the "Classics and History School", but he did not understand the principle of "being with the light and dust".

The formal peace talks have not yet begun. Although Aliti was very nervous about the battle situation in the northwest, he also knew the principle of "sharpening a knife and chopping wood". In order to reach a peace talks with more confidence, he started to move around early. Of course, he forgot to bring his amazing wealth from Xixia during the event. Due to the emperor's secret order, the officials of the Song Dynasty had already opened their pockets and waited for Aliti to come to work. However, in Aliti's opinion, these Song Dynasty officials who were asking for money were not his ultimate goal. He wanted to meet the person in charge and those who could have an important influence on the Song Dynasty emperor. In his opinion, only three people met this condition - Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, and the little prince consort.

Aliti finally met Wang Anshi and Sima Guang before the talks. The price he paid for was to satisfy some of the officials' greed for wealth. Of course, he did not know that these people were secretly instructed by Zeng Gongliang, and Zeng Gongliang himself also received a generous gift from Aliti as a reward.

After the peace talks began, Aliti discovered a very interesting phenomenon - his opponent, the young prince-consor of the empire, seemed to be under tremendous pressure, and his resignation became increasingly soft, but his attitude was still very tough. Aliti knew that his money offensive seemed to have worked, and he also wanted to force the prince-consort to leave the negotiating table through bribes. However, it seemed that the monarch and minister of the Song Dynasty had an astonishing agreement in the peace talks. The head of the peace talks was still the prince-consort of Xiao Wang, which somewhat annoyed Aliti.
