I am Da Song

Chapter 199 The Soldier Without Fighting

When Yue Fei made great strides in Hebei, he also profoundly affected the situation thousands of miles away.

In this battle between Song and Jin, the most concerned is undoubtedly the Xixia Kingdom thousands of miles away.

Every change in the battle situation between the two sides deeply involved the tense heartstrings of the Xixia people.

Because this battle, for a big country like Song and Jin, is just a border dispute. No matter who wins or loses, both sides can regroup and pull out 10,000+ or ​​10,000+ troops to continue fighting next year.

But if Xixia misjudges the situation and bets in the wrong direction, it may be a disaster for Xixia.

And today is the moment to reveal the result. After three months, Xixia must give Song Dynasty an answer. Is it to be friendly with Song Dynasty and set up a mutual market?Or have the two sides fought each other since then, Xixia united gold and Song Dynasty?
As the envoy of Xixia, Mou Ning Keren had a bitter face, standing alone in the Song Palace, feeling all kinds of feelings in his heart.

A deep sense of guilt enveloped his whole body.

But don't have any unrealistic fantasies and overestimation of the Minister of Xixia, the guilt will soon dissipate, the guilt is only temporary, and the benefits are eternal.

How to seek the greatest benefit for himself is what he cares about.As for how much Xixia will suffer for this, it is not worth mentioning in front of its own interests.

He knew very well that he had no room to change his position. From this moment on, he could only be the official closest to the Song Dynasty in Xixia.

Only the goodwill and harmony between the two sides can guarantee his transcendent status in the country. Otherwise, once the two sides fight, he will be liquidated by everyone in the country, and even cut in half to vent his hatred.

Because it was the information he sent back to Xixia that made Xixia make a decision to formally hand over thousands of miles of land to Song Dynasty, withdraw from the ranks of the Three Kingdoms for hegemony, choose to be friendly with Song Dynasty, and stop all weapons in exchange for Song Dynasty to release the salt ban , The two sides trade with each other.

This is nominally not helping each other, but in fact everyone can see that Xixia abandoned the Kingdom of Jin and chose to be friendly with the Song Dynasty.Otherwise, as long as the two sides work together, they will be able to take away a large amount of land on the territory of the Song Dynasty, and the cooperation will be win-win.

Now that Xixia returned a large area of ​​land to the Song Dynasty, the Kingdom of Jin no longer benefited, and the one who benefited became the Song Dynasty.

Xixia gambled his national fortune on the fact that Song was still weak and unable to threaten Xixia under the pressure of the Jin army!
Mou Ning Keren sighed deeply, he was the one who misled all of this.

But all of this was really not what he did on purpose.

He just truthfully reported what happened in the Song Dynasty back to China, and "slightly" added some of his own insights and analysis of the situation.

Tokyo and Xixia are far apart. Even if the Xixia messenger broke his leg, there are only two opportunities for communication.

But it was during these two exchanges that a series of things happened that made Mou Ningke Ren misjudge the situation.

First of all, the Jin army swung its troops southward aggressively. More than a hundred thousand soldiers marched southward in three routes, as if they had the ambition to smash the armor and destroy the country.

At that time, all Xixia envoys believed that Dajin still had an unparalleled strategic advantage.Offensive and defensive advance and retreat, freely.

The Song Dynasty could only barely deal with it, throwing away all the way, just like the war with Xixia back then.

It coincided with the defeat of Shenwu Youjun, which shocked the entire Tokyo city.Everyone in the world knows that the Shenwu Youjun is the most elite forbidden army in the Song Dynasty, representing the pinnacle of the Song Dynasty's military power.

As a result, the Shenwu Youjun was actually defeated by a group of mud-legged bandits! The city of Tokyo was shaken.The Xixia envoys witnessed the crying of every family in Tokyo.

Although the Song court repeatedly claimed that the Shenwu Youjun lost only one commander, the Xixia people refused to believe it anyway, thinking that this was the Song court's attempt to appease public opinion and control the situation.

Therefore, Mou Ning Keren sent back to Xixia the information that the Song army's combat power was worrying, and Dajin swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger.

It is believed that helping the state of Jin to destroy the Song Dynasty may lead to repeat the mistakes of the state of Song's maritime alliance.Forming an alliance with the Jin army is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

Although the Shenwu Youjun indeed wiped out the Jiangnan rebels with thunder, the Battle of Rao'an that shocked the court and the public took place on the Hebei battlefield, and the Song Dynasty's East Route Army in Hebei was wiped out!
This caused Mou Ningkeren to emphatically emphasize the defeat in his second reply to the mainland to support his analysis of the strength and weakness of the two countries.

It was precisely because of these two strong guidance that Xixia made the final decision, believing that the Song Dynasty was still weak and could get closer to the alliance.

After all, there are many people in Xixia who hope to trade with the Song Dynasty.

Trade with the Song Dynasty can greatly improve the people's livelihood of the entire Xixia, especially the quality of life of the kings, generals, nobles and princes.

After being blocked by the Song Dynasty for so many years, Xixia has already lived through enough hardships and desperately hopes to improve their lives.

Therefore, the decision to be friendly with Da Song has become an unchangeable fact.

Li Ganshun, the lord of the Xixia Kingdom, personally issued the king's order, and asked the minister to take the household registration, land, seal and ribbon that Xixia had previously occupied thousands of miles away from the Song Dynasty to Mo Ning Keren, and asked him to return it to the Song Dynasty at the alliance ceremony.

At this time, even though Mou Ning Keren had seen Yue Fei triumphantly advance in the Hebei battlefield, he no longer dared to report back to the country.

Because Xixia has missed the best time to send troops, and after the messengers exchanged, the shock, anger and fierce court struggles within the court, they changed course and sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty. It is very likely that the war between Song and Jin was over.

At the beginning, the emperor of the Song Dynasty said that if Xixia mishandled it and lost the heart of the Song Dynasty, he would be swept away by Wang Shiliting.It will no longer be empty words.

Therefore, Mou Ning Keren could only pack up his emotions, tidy up his clothes, forcefully support Xixia's demeanor, and walk to the political affairs hall in the Song Dynasty Palace.

On behalf of Xixia and the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty, they formally signed a mutual market agreement of goodwill and friendship between the two countries.

In order to ensure that Xixia must be able to maintain harmony with Song Dynasty, and completely avoid wars between the two sides.

Otherwise, it would be a disaster for both him and Xixia!

At night, Zuo Xiangmei found Zhao Huan who was watching fish by the pool, and said respectfully: "Officials, Xixia has signed the letter of credence and officially handed over to me thousands of miles of mountains and rivers."

Zhao Huan turned around with a big smile, and said excitedly, "Good! Good! My Great Song Dynasty has finally achieved victory without fighting. This is no less than Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty subduing Sanyue with his national prestige!"

"Spread this news, let the people of the world feel the glory of our court together!"

The so-called sense of national identity means having the same blood, similar culture, and finally a history that we are all proud of.

The reason why Zhuxia is called Han people and Tang people is precisely because the Han and Tang Dynasties brought a lot of pride and pride to everyone.

Even the West is fighting for a Roman orthodoxy, which shows the significance of historical glory and cultural pride in national identity.

After the Kaifeng Mansion announced the news, the city of Tokyo boiled instantly, and the city was full of carnival.Brothel paintings, teahouses and wine shops, the fragrance of Luo Qi is everywhere, and the new voice is clever and laughing.

The road is full of flowers, and the sound of drums is empty!
