Chapter 362 Thunder, Rain and Dew
Zhu Shengfei and the others left in a hurry the next day.
In fact, they still wanted to struggle. They went to see Zhao Huan again that night, but unfortunately, Zhao Huan continued to pretend to be sick and didn't see them...
Wang Yue is back!
So in the past, no matter how His Majesty the Emperor and the court agreed to them, they would be invalidated at this time. They said it and did not count. Wang Yue would play whatever he wanted. There was no need to cause trouble to save them, so Zhu Shengfei and the others could only leave sadly and go back to convey this verdict that can be said to be fate to the officials and gentry in Jiangnan.
Wang Yue was not interested in caring about them, and they had no other choice.
Anyway, he will go south in a month.
By then, all those who dare to resist him will be swept into the garbage dump of history.
However, at this time, the development of Xixia needs to be paid attention to.
Li Xiaozhong led 3,000 cavalry to expedition to Shazhou. With the cooperation of the local Han people, he used the advantages of firearms to quickly seize the two states of Shagua. There were not many Western Xia troops there, but only the Han tyrants who relied on the local Han forces. The main forces of the Western Xia army guarded the Song army in the eastern core area. Immediately afterwards, the former Song army captives in Suzhou rose up. These were captured in decades of war, and because Xixia could not guarantee that they would not rebel, they threw them into Suzhou to isolate them. Of course, they had to take action at this time. They, together with the local Uighur herders, quickly defeated the Xixia army in Suzhou and welcomed Li Xiaozhong's cavalry into Suzhou.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Xixia did not react at all.
After all, they were very far away from there. When Li Qianshun reacted, Guashasu's three prefectures had all fallen into Li Xiaozhong's hands. He could only hurry to mobilize his troops to the west to try to retake them. But at the same time, Han Shizhong and other troops crossed the border for their own reasons and acted as if they were raiding Xingqing. In this way, Li Qianshun had to stop. After all, even if he was doing his best, he could only say to resist Han Shizhong and others.
He can really give him a direct attack on Xingqing when he divided his troops to fight the west.
You can't beat him.
This has to be resolved through negotiation.
"First of all, Guashasu's three prefectures are not fiefs of Xia State."
Wang Yue said.
"King, the court had peace with my country back then!"
The hostages stationed in Kaifeng in Xixia, Li Qianshun's younger brother, Brother Richard, argued with reason.
Li Renxiao died in Kaifeng, but this hostage still cannot be missing. Li Qianshun has no other sons, so he only has two brothers, not only him but two brothers, but his family has no cousins. His father Li Bingchang has no brothers. His grandfather is Li Liangzuo, the youngest son of Li Yuanhao. Li Liangzuo's brothers were either killed by his father Li Yuanhao, or died at a young age. There was even one who was obsessed with immortality and was the last one left.
I have to say that Li Yuanhao's descendants are also very withered.
Li Qianshun's generation has two brothers, and this brother Richard is also a general of Xixia. When Liu Fa was defeated and died, he was the head coach of Xixia.
That's why Wang Yue appointed him as a hostage.
"The imperial edict from that year is here. Where did the above say that Shaguasu's three prefectures belong to you?"
Wang Yue pointed out his mistakes with the imperial edict that year.
"The content of the peace talks that year was divided into the border land that my country had previously obtained, and my country retained half of it..."
Brother Richard couldn't continue to say anything.
"Yes, are border land, sand, Gua and Suzhou border land?"
Wang Yue said.
"But the Cao family surrendered to our country!"
Brother Richard said.
"Do they have this power? Guiyi Army is a vassal of the Great Song Dynasty, and you are also a vassal of the Great Song Dynasty. There is no court allowing one vassal of the other vassal. Is there any rule? You are wrong in surrendering to the Cao family. You are wrong in accepting the Cao family's surrender. This mistake has been delayed for almost a hundred years, and it is time to correct it now."
Wang Yue said.
"But the Cao family only has two states, Shagua, and Suzhou was built by our country expelling the Uighurs."
Brother Richard continued to argue.
Just lost Guasha Prefectures and lost control of the business road at most, but lost Suzhou, so the entire Hexi was lost.
At that time, Li Xiaozhong advanced eastward from Suzhou and Xinxingzong cut off the eastward direction. The mess of Liangzhou was rebelled by the conquered nations. In a blink of an eye, the entire Hexi was gone, leaving only the core area of Xingqing. At that time, Xixia was truly a casual play.
"The Cao family was the governor of the Guiyi Army of the Song Dynasty, and ruled the three states of Guashasu. Whether the Han people, Uighurs or other ethnic groups in these three states, they are all people under the rule of the Cao family. Do you still think you are doing the right thing if you invade the territory of the Guiyi Army? Duke Jin, I am the most reasonable person. I would not care about the matter of your war with the court at the time, after all, the matter that was solved back then. However, what the court gave you was yours, and what the court did not give you back then was stolen by you. I must take it back. If it is not yours, it is not yours.
The court must take back the three states.
And Your Majesty is preparing to issue an order to establish the Han Kingdom with the land of Guashasu and to take the King of Han as well. These three states are my fiefdoms. If you want to get involved in my fiefdom..."
Wang Yue suddenly changed into a ferocious face and looked at Brother Richard with murderous intent.
The latter subconsciously shortened a little.
"I will go to Xingqing to discuss this issue face to face with King Xia."
Wang Yue said gloomyly.
"You are bullying me, Xia Country, no one?"
Brother Richard said indignantly.
He could not bear it anymore, and after all, he was a famous general in Xixia, so he could not be bullied like this.
"Xia Kingdom?"
Wang Yue smiled contemptuously.
Then he waved his hand outside, and then several servants walked in with trays one by one and put them out on the table in front of him. Wang Yue lifted one of the trays, and a head of anti-corrosion appeared inside...
"Wu Li Bu!"
Wang Yue said with a smile.
Then he lifted another tray, which also contained a head of anti-corrosion treatment.
"Herb!"
He said.
Then next one.
"Yin Shuke, I remember he defeated you?"
He said.
Then next one.
"Taking lazy."
He said.
Then he looked at Richard with disdain.
"There are people in Xia State? I don't know which Xia State can compare to any of them? You can't even beat Lou Shi, and you are still arrogant here? I allow Xia State to exist because the court had already recognized your existence back then. I am a reasonable person. Since the court has already recognized it, I will not violate the imperial edict of Emperor Renzong.
But you have to understand.
It’s not that I can’t destroy you, I can destroy you at any time if I want.
So don't bargain in front of me. This is Your Majesty's ruling. You must endure it honestly whether you want to accept it or not.
Let’s put it this way, thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of yours.
When Emperor Renzong was merciful and was unwilling to continue the war, he caused more casualties in innocent people. Therefore, he accepted your peace and gave you lenient treatment. However, this is the nature of Emperor Renzong, and it is not that you should have such lenient. As for now, he is more majestic and serious in his work, he will not treat you like Emperor Renzong, but you can only accept that you are vassal ministers and do not have the qualifications to bargain with His Majesty."
Wang Yue said.
Brother Richard looked at the heads in front of him with grief and anger...
They really couldn't beat any of them. Before, when the Jurchens controlled Datong, the silver technique was specifically used to deal with them, and they pressed them to death with Guo Qizhong. But at this moment, the heads were in front of him. During the period of the Hebule sweeping Xuanda, they also kept hiding in front of the Mongolian cavalry, not to mention that there were Jurchen marshal-level like Olibu.
This is the same level as Nishen.
Lou Shi, who defeated them, was just a thug under Nianhan.
Brother Richard finally left in humiliation.
"They won't be willing?"
Liu Qi said.
"Of course not, but they dare not send a large army to the west. At most, they would coax the powerful men of all races in Hexi to entangle with Li Xiaozhong. We seized control of the business road, which would also have an impact on these powerful men, but this would be no big deal. In addition, the three of them ordered that they would not have to take care of Liaoxi anymore, and they would withdraw and then increase troops to the border. If Li Ganshun really loses his mind, we would cool him down, but he should not be so uneasy."
Wang Yue said.
The Li family must compete for the three states.
This is related to their life and death, and they are not stupid. Of course, they understand that Wang Yue is playing strangulation and trapping them step by step. They are nothing more than that small core area. They can be entangled with the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, relying on control of the Hexi Corridor and replenishing blood by trade in the Western Regions. If they lose the three states, they will completely lose the blood, retreat to an isolated small warlord, and become a lamb that is slaughtered by Wang Yue. At that time, the only thing they could do was wait for when Wang Yue would take them out and bleed.
They have no choice.
But this is not Wang Yue’s business, it is related to the entire Western Army Group’s money bag.
Everyone has a share of the stock, and a large number of stocks have been sold everywhere. Through various operations, they have even made a lot of them. In this case, the Li family is nothing. If they need to join forces to plow the temple and sweep the holes, the warlords of the Western Army will never mind catching more talents. The Li family wants to regain the three states? Have you asked these guys who hold more than 100,000 elite soldiers? They are still hoping to snatch the fat meat from their mouths?
Of course, this is actually a good opportunity to operate stocks.
So the war there will definitely not be smooth sailing, and it will be smooth sailing. How can we make money by trading stocks?
So the threat from the Li family can be exaggerated.
Even Li Xiaozhong can fail next time. It doesn’t matter whether it is true or not. Even if a tabloid suddenly reports that Li Xiaozhong is wiped out tomorrow, because of distance, the local rich people in the mainland who bought stocks will believe it is true. In short, the process will be ups and downs, making it as if this war thousands of miles away is very difficult.
Then you can make money.
