Chapter 553 The Gift of Ren Dejing
There are no words related to the emperor, indicating that Li Renxiao is very aware of the situation of Xixia and the strength of the Restoration Army.

Su Yonglin was satisfied with this attitude.

So after reading Li Renxiao's letter, Su Yonglin read the letter written by Tu Shan Hexi to Li Renxiao again.

Tudan Hexi's letter said that although the Jin Kingdom suffered a change, it was heard that there were still a large number of resistance troops in Liaodong.

The Kingdom of Jin still controls a large area of ​​land in Guanzhong and Liaodong, as well as an elite army of 20 soldiers. The loss of Yanyun does not mean anything. It can only be said that it was a temporary mistake due to the emperor's stupidity and treacherous ministers. The war is far from over. when.

Jin Guo can also launch a counterattack, and has the strength to launch a counterattack, and can recover lost ground and wipe out the Restoration Army.

Xixia has always been a friendly vassal state of the Jin Kingdom. It has been very friendly since Li Renxiao's father. Now that the suzerain state is in trouble, the vassal state should send troops to help.

Therefore, Tu Shan Hexi hoped that Li Renxiao could send [-] troops to Hedong to help him contain the Hedong Restoration Army, and that he himself would lead troops out of Tongguan to attack Henan, in the hope of regaining Henan.

As long as Jin Guo and Xixia send troops to attack Hedong and Henan together, the situation will soon be reversed and everything will get better.

At that time, the Golden State will reward the three states of Shizhou, Lanzhou and Xinhuizhou that they have always wanted in Xixia. If Xixia still hopes, he will also give some parts of Hedong to Xixia as a reward for them to send troops to help each other. .

Good guy, what's the matter with this inexplicable and arrogant tone?

With a smile, Su Yonglin read the two letters, then placed the two letters side by side in front of him, and looked up at Ren Chunzhong and Yu Daochong.

"I read the letter that your lord of the country wrote to me. I also read the letter that Tudan Hexi wrote to the lord of your country. I am very happy that the lord of your country can make such a choice. Maybe you I don't know yet, but a month ago, Liaodong was pacified by me."

Ren Chunzhong and Wu Daochong were both stunned, then reacted quickly, and immediately congratulated Su Yonglin, praised Su Yonglin's illustrious martial arts, and expressed sincere congratulations to him.

Su Yonglin waved his hands with a smile, and said: "The Kingdom of Jin has a clan in Liaodong, called Wan Yanyong. He rashly proclaimed himself emperor and tried to fight against me, so he was killed by me. The Jin army in Liaodong has 100 to [-] people, and I have already killed him." Annihilation, the population of captured Jurchen has exceeded [-] million.

The last stronghold of the Jin Army in Liaodong, Huining Mansion, is already under my control. The old nest of the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom no longer exists, and even the old nest no longer exists. Even if Tudan Hexi still has [-] elites, How long can it last?

I don't think it's strange to make such a choice after knowing this matter, it's normal, but the lord of your country obviously didn't know about this matter, but still made such a decision, I think it's worthy of appreciation, it's very it is good. "

Ren Chunzhong and Wu Daochong both breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yonglin's meaning inside and outside the words is that he is very happy and satisfied with Xixia's timely statement, so he agrees with Xixia's choice and will not use Xixia as an enemy.

that's enough.

To be honest, Xixia's national fortune has not improved since Li Yuanhao messed around in his later years, and it has always been in chaos.

At the beginning, Li Yuanhao's martial virtue was overwhelming, and he defeated the Song Dynasty through three major battles: the Battle of Sanchuankou, the Battle of Good Water and the Battle of Dingchuan Debt, which made the Song Dynasty lose his wife and surrender.

Then he defeated Liao Xingzong and his army of [-] who were on the expedition, and beat the Liao Kingdom to a disgrace.

A small regional country defeated the all-out efforts of the two great powers, Song and Liao, one after another through war, and Li Yuanhao and the Great Xia Kingdom he established became famous all over the world.

How brilliant was Xixia at that time?

However, with the passage of time, Li Yuanhao was complacent and fainted in his later years, causing the chaos of the Western Xia Dynasty to cause civil strife in the court, and foreign relatives dictatorship.

During the period of Xia Yizong and Xia Huizong, the dictatorship of foreign relatives made the court turbulent and the economic situation was very bad.

Xixia itself is a small and barren country with limited agricultural productivity and only three to four million people. It cannot compete with Liao and Northern Song in terms of economy and national strength. As a result, the country became more and more impoverished, and the people complained a lot.

The perennial war made Xixia impoverished, and the bad economic situation made Xixia turn from defense to attack, and could not continue to expand its territory. Li Yuanhao also engaged in court struggles in his later years, and the administration of officials was destroyed.

In the early days of Xia Chongzong's rule, with the dictatorship of the Empress Dowager Liang inside and the military threat of the Northern Song Dynasty outside, the situation of Xixia was once very bad.

After Wang Anshi's reforms, the Northern Song Dynasty enhanced its military power with the art of general warfare. The military aspect once rose. Through a series of military strikes, Xixia was defeated, and it successfully recovered lost territory, opened up new territories, and regained the face lost during the Renzong period.

Several major battles caused heavy losses to Xixia, and the authoritarian Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was still unwilling to give up the war with the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Xia State could not check and balance the Queen Mother Xiaoliang, and finally the Liao State sent someone to poison the Queen Mother Xiaoliang as the suzerain, and finally ended the chaos of foreign relatives in Xixia.

Later, the Liao Kingdom fell and the Jin Kingdom prospered. Xia Chongzong declared himself a minister to the Jin Kingdom, in exchange for a lifetime of peace, and then Xia Chongzong died of illness, and the throne passed to Li Renxiao.

Today's Xixia has long lost the momentum of Li Yuanhao's 50 troops to defeat the Liao and Song Dynasties in a row. It is a mediocre small country that can't even quell domestic chaos on its own. It is also highly dependent economically on the suzerain Jin. trade.

Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to send someone to visit Su Yonglin at this time, and exchange the credit for selling the military intelligence of the Jin Kingdom in exchange for Su Yonglin's economic immunity?

After Su Yonglin conquered Xijing and Hedong, it was equivalent to cutting off the original bilateral trade between Jin and Xixia, cutting off commercial exchanges with Xixia, and observing Xixia's attitude and situation.

Xixia obviously couldn't bear this situation. In the face of the shortage of domestic materials and soaring prices, Li Renxiao took the initiative to send someone to contact Su Yonglin.

Such a fragile economic strength does not have the possibility to compete with major powers.

After reaching this conclusion, Su Yonglin did not embarrass Xixia, but decided to temporarily accommodate Xixia, establish a bilateral relationship between Jin and Xixia, and allow Xixia to become his vassal state.

Although the economic strength is weak, the military strength still has a bit of the old foundation left by Li Yuanhao. The [-] army is still able to take action. Even if it stays at the border and does not move, it is also a threat to the Guanzhong Jinjun and Tudan Hexi. It can contain Part of the strength of the Golden Army in Guanzhong.

Those who should be drawn must be drawn together, and all forces that can be united must be united.

In the evening, Su Yonglin hosted a banquet for Ren Chunzhong, Wu Daochong and the entire Xixia envoys, giving them food, drink and fun.

During the banquet, Ren Chunzhong smiled and took out a gift list and handed it to Su Yonglin, saying that it was a meeting gift from Da Xia's Prime Minister Ren Dejing to Su Yonglin in his personal capacity. Because the quantity was relatively large, it was not ready yet. It will be sent to the border of the two countries and handed over to Su Yonglin.

Su Yonglin looked at the gift list with some surprise, and then put away the gift list for a while, and said with a smile: "Ren Xianggong and his steps are both surnamed Ren, so the steps are with Ren Xianggong?"

"Ren Xianggong is my uncle."

Ren Chunzhong said with a smile: "This time on the mission, my uncle asked me to come to see the general as an envoy. My uncle has long heard about the general's illustrious military exploits and admires the general very much."

"Really? Then I really want to thank Mr. Ren. Please go back and thank Mr. Ren on my behalf."

Ren Chunzhong was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Definitely! Definitely!"
