Chapter 46 Offensive and Defensive Alliance
Zhao Jiu looked at the messenger in front of him with a smile on his face.
Said:
"So, Xixia is willing to form an alliance with our Song Dynasty and attack the unruly Jin Kingdom. If that is the case, what needs does your king have?"
The messenger Kamuli said:
"Don't worry, your Majesty, I don't need the Song Dynasty to ced the country. I just need to reward us with some food and supplies in Xixia. We can get the rest ourselves.
We want 50,000 troops and half a year of military supplies, and ask His Majesty to generously donate. We are willing to send 50,000 Dangxiang warriors to the war.
We will take 70% of everything we seize on the way, but we will not take any of the city. What does Your Majesty think?"
"Fifty thousand people? These 50,000 people are all coys, right? I am not that easy to fool. Please don't fool me as a three-year-old child."
Zhao Jiu's face turned cold and he said with a wide open eyes.
Kamuli said with a haha:
"Your Majesty is joking. Our Daxia Kingdom can summon 100,000 Party Xiang Iron Cavalry with a wave of his hand. How could he send a coward?
If Your Majesty doesn’t believe it, it’s written in black and white into the covenant, and we can’t escape anyway.”
Before Zhao Jiu could speak, the Western Generals next to him had already frowned.
Xixia was established by the Dangxiang people. The Dangxiang people and the whole people are soldiers. When encountering war, hundreds of thousands of troops can be pieced together to fight in a short period of time.
In addition, the Dangxiang people were good at fighting and had deserts, Gobi and other terrains to rely on, so the Song, Liao and Jin dynasties were also very troubled by him. Only the Mongolians completely solved this disaster.
There are about two million people from the Dangxiang people in Xixia, and the proportion of 20 to one is simply shocking. It can be described as the whole nation is full of soldiers.
Zhao Jiu saw the generals beside him who were nodding at him from time to time and smiled:
"The envoy of Xia Kingdom will go down and take a break first. As for the alliance, I will consider it. Let's make another charter. Let's discuss it later.
Tuanzi, let’s arrange it for me.”
Kamuli's face changed.
In fact, he has already put his posture very low.
And the conditions given are very generous,
Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Song did not agree on the spot.
Didn’t the Prime Minister say that the Song people are easy to fool? Especially the officials of other people are very vain and can accomplish things as long as they say something good.
The Tuanzi led the way and said:
"Please please let me go and arrange food and accommodation for you."
"I'm working hard," Kamuli replied stiffly, but was thinking about other things in his heart, not caring about the eunuch in front of him.
Wait for the messengers of Xixia to leave.
The generals surrounded them.
Liu Qi's brother Liu Xi took the lead and said:
"The official family, the wolves in Xixia, are definitely not able to form an alliance with them. They often make knives behind us. Every household in the northwest and Xixia have blood feuds. The official family must not lead the wolf into the house."
The belated generals Liu Qi and Su You all expressed their opinions, while Wu Jie was sinking beside him, holding his map from time to time in a daze.
If you hold a neutral opinion, you can be sure to get it, and if you don’t get it.
Zhao Jiu looked at everyone.
sidewalk:
"I understand the truth. Just now, the food from Sichuan has been transported. The people have prepared all the food, and Zhang Jun has collected more food from Sichuan for five years.
Five years!
I also know that since its establishment, the Western Army has never had such a generous life, eating enough food and wearing cotton clothes casually.
But these are all picked out from the gaps of the teeth by the common people. If they weren't forced into a desperate situation, I wouldn't want to bet."
Zhao Jiu pointed to the door and said:
"The people of Xixia have never been good things. They are all ungrateful wolves who are not well-raised. I would rather burn these grains to fire, and I will not give them to the people of Xixia Dangxiang.
I know what their virtues are, and I can even predict that hundreds or thousands of iron kites will be followed by tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers.
They were ready to wait for the food we gave, and they would go out to Xiguan without any worries to join the Jin soldiers in the river to engulf Sichuan and Shaanxi."
Yang Zaixing, the silly man, patted his chest and said:
"Official family, I will kill this envoy and teach them how powerful our Emperor Song is."
Everyone was in a state of enthusiasm.
Yang Weizhong waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and said:
"I think there is something to do in it, but I haven't grasped my clue yet. The Xixia Kingdom wants to form a fake alliance. Can we use this to trick the Jin soldiers? Or take the opportunity to kill the Xixia soldiers?"
Wu Jie's face became more and more rosy.
After hearing what the old Grandmaster Yang said, Wu Jie even spread out the map and said excitedly:
"Officials, Xixia used a routine to us, so we pretended to be fooled and took the opportunity to lead the main force of the Jin soldiers to seek opportunities."
Sun Wo, deputy commander of the Jingyuan, said:
"No, the Jin soldiers were difficult to deal with. Now we have to deal with the two families, and there is also a Zhe family army.
We have no advantage on the front battlefield anymore. The flesh and blood cannot withstand the cavalry's charge. The official should think twice."
Wu Jie said in a full spirit:
"What if we could break the cavalry?"
Zhao Jiu's eyes lit up, and he almost called Wu Aiqing out intimately.
Zhao Ji directly called the messenger.
Said solemnly:
"Our Song Dynasty wanted to throw all the troops and horses across the country to fight to the death, but time was tight, so we must fight quickly. Sichuan and Shaanxi had 300,000 troops, so I decided to devote all of them to Xingzhou.
From this, he marched and recovered Fengzhou, Prefecture, Linzhou, Datong, Fengxiang Prefecture, and Luoyang, and ended in Hebei, looking for an opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Western Route Army.
By defeating Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Wushu and other soldiers, it is time for our Song Dynasty and your Daxia Kingdom to share the spoils together.
The messenger quickly handed over our army's strategy and alliance letter to the king of your country.
As for the food and grass I promised, when the Xixia army arrives in Xingzhou, I can deliver half of it, and the other half will be delivered after the war.
The outcome of this trip is not decided, so please keep it confidential and do not disclose the whereabouts of the Song army to the Jin soldiers. Otherwise, someone will need to bear the anger of my and Song dynasties. I hope it will not be your Xixia."
Kamuli got the alliance letter in a daze. Before he even spoke much, he realized that he had been sent to the carriage, and then sent it all the way to Xingqing Mansion in Xixia.
Kamuli originally thought he had to bend and rush for a long time, but he didn't expect to do a mission at once. Faced with the big plan given by the Song emperor, Kamuli's smile even more.
Kamuli happily recorded what Emperor Zhao Song said with his pen and ink, and then he made a long time in his heart and walked straight to the somewhat simple Xixia Palace.
Prefecture.
The Jin soldiers and Qin soldiers received news of large-scale mobilization of the Song army, and a large number of civilians escorted food and grass to follow the army, and could not hide the wandering scouts at all.
Wanyan Zongfu was also very annoyed. The failure of the war these days caused all the burden to be on his shoulders, and there were frequent urging questions on the side of Shangjing.
When will the war in Sichuan and Shaanxi be resolved? They can't afford it if they dragged it like this. After all, once the station is opened, the money will be spent like flowing water.
In addition, the Yan State could not hold on anymore. It is said that their mortal enemies Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun were almost fighting to Bianjing City. According to the words of Emperor Yuwen Xuzhong of Yan State, at least 200,000 troops in the Song army were raging in Guanzhong, and they asked their masters to rescue him.
Please don't give up on me.
The brothers of the Jin Dynasty, for everyone is serving the Jin Dynasty, they will be the best of their brothers.
Wanyan Zongfu led everyone to discuss the decision and analyze the strange actions of the Song people. An envoy broke into the camp with joy.
The visitor was Kamutu, the envoy of the Western Xia Dynasty, who had not sent a mission to the Song Dynasty, and his brother Kamuli.
The greetings of Li Shungan, the king of the Western Xia Kingdom brought by Kamuto and the movements of the Song army, the balance of the war seemed to be tilted.
Wanyan Zongfu focused on Xingzhou on the map.
Chapter completed!
