Zhao Huan's enthronement gift was very impressive.
The Jin Kingdom, Xixia, Dali and even the Tubo tribes all sent people to send their own congratulatory gifts, but except for Dali, the others were not very friendly.
Dali sent tribute Dali horses, musk, bezoar, fine felt and other local specialties, and also sent magicians to perform for Zhao Huan, which allowed Zhao Huan to see ancient magic.
However, due to the long journey, Duan Heyu, the current emperor of Dali, did not know Zhao Huan's character. Everything was arranged according to Zhao Huan's father, Zhao Ji, who was under house arrest.
Although Zhao Huan was happy, he was not overjoyed at all. He gave them some rewards as a return gift and then handed them over to Qin Hui.
Today's Song Dynasty has no Hebei Road and no mutual trade with the Liao Kingdom, so there is no source of war horses.
This Dali horse... This thing is really not a good thing. It has enough endurance and can climb mountains and wade in water, but it cannot charge and fight.
But it’s better than nothing.
Zhao Huan now needs a new trade route. Dali, a place that has a good impression of the Song Dynasty, naturally he does not want to give up. At least he does not want to make the whole world his enemy now.
Compared to the sensible Dali Kingdom, these other people are not so kind.
The first is Xixia. To be honest, although Xixia defeated the Song Dynasty's attacks several times, whether it was sporadic battles or fighting between the two sides on the border, Xixia was more miserable.
Especially in these years, they have reached the point where they are barely surviving.
The Xixia people are no longer the Xixia people they used to be.
From the time of Renzong to Shenzong, the Xixia native Biao was just like that idiot. He saw the Song people beating the Song people, and saw the Liao people beating the Liao people, but no one could see him beating himself.
That's it. When Zhao Huan saw the copywriting, he thought he was the contemporary flat-headed brother.
Although no one can defeat him, no one is afraid of him.
He was always going to break someone's teeth, and there was really no big benefit in knocking him off, so he was allowed to live until now.
But that is all in the past. Like the Song Dynasty, Xixia has fallen. Now Xixia just wants to live and continue to exist, so he no longer has the momentum of Brother Pingtou.
All that remains is the ability to rely on others.
For example, now, Xixia is attached to the command of the Jin people, and at the same time, it is unclear about the Song Dynasty, always trying to make things happen at both ends.
Now that Zhao Huan has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Xixia people are really clever at playing tricks. He first sent troops to attack the Shaannan Prefecture of the Song Dynasty. The battle was very miserable, and all the Song people in dozens of miles were slaughtered.
Whether it is a town or a village, almost no one is left.
After that, he sent an envoy, hoping to form an alliance with the Song people and attack and defend each other. For what he did, the Xixia people expressed their willingness to pay a sufficient price, such as uniting with the Song people to attack the Qiang and Hu.
Help the Song Dynasty expand the Yongliang homeland, and even be willing to help them open up the Western Regions...
But Zhao Huan didn't believe a word of this thing.
At the same time, after the fall of Tubo, the split Tubo tribes also united again, but they did not actually use troops, they just suppressed the troops outside.
Then the so-called "congratulatory gifts" were sent.
Three hundred heads of the remnants of the Liao Kingdom!
Looking at the well-preserved head that still looked ferocious, Zhao Huan's brows kept beating.
The remnants of the Liao Kingdom are very uncomfortable, but Zhao Huan really gritted his teeth when he saw this kind of thing that was close to a demonstration, and he wanted to kill these guys one by one.
"We, the adults of the Tubo tribes, know the centuries-old feud between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty, so let us kill the remnants of the Liao Kingdom who fled to Ketun City. Hundreds of them were given to the new emperor of the Song Dynasty as a congratulatory gift. We also hope that the emperor of the Song Dynasty Accept it!"
"Hehe...hehe...ok!" Zhao Huan finally gritted his teeth and acknowledged it, then looked at the Tubo envoy and asked softly, "Can the envoy tell me how you knew that I was going to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor? ?”
"Your Majesty's reputation spreads all over the world. Even though we are barbarians, how can we not know about it?"
"Haha, my envoy's words make me happy. Please settle down Lu Qing's family and discuss trade matters."
"My lord, I obey the order."
After settling the Xixia and Tubo tribes, Zhao Huan and his ministers looked at the congratulatory gifts sent by the Jin Kingdom, but the Jin people did not send any envoys to Zhao Huan.
He just sent a few messages.
"Your Majesty, the King of Su, Zhao Shu, had been supported by the Jin people and ascended the throne in Yanjing. The country's name was also Song, and the court was established with Li Bangyan as the prime minister.
Tang Ke came out of the town to be the second prime minister, Geng Nanzhong came out to be the minor prime minister, and Xu Churen and others were among them as ministers.
Liu Yu, the magistrate of Jinan, was granted the title of King of Qi, and Hebei Road, Hedong, Shandong and other places were assigned to him as vassals.
Now the pseudo Song Dynasty and the rebel Qi Dynasty have already raised the title of their country and threatened that we and others are rebellious people. "
Lieutenant General Yu Wenxu told Zhao Huan what he had learned, and he felt angry. Although he was not taken to the Five Kingdoms City as a prisoner, all the things that should have appeared appeared. This is really interesting. .
Even more appeared.
"If I send troops to attack the traitor Liu Yu now, what are the chances of winning?"
"The problem of defeating Liu Yu is really not big, but the problem we are waiting for now is not on them." Zhao Ding called out at this time, "After we have urgently allocated food and supplies, the ministers from the south of the Yangtze River gathered together with Yang Yao, the giant bandit of Dongting Lake. Others rebelled and caused chaos in the important areas south of the Yangtze River.
The barbarians from Bashu also disappeared and appeared, and there were also Tubo and Xixia gathered outside.
In order to force the Jin people to retreat, we sent envoys to Kedun City to cooperate with the Liao people and build momentum. Now the Jin people are also following the gourd's example.
The alliance between Tubo and Xixia not only wants to completely cut off our ties with the Liao people, but also wants to take the opportunity to drive a wedge between us.
It is more appropriate for us to fight against the outside world or to secure the inside than to attack Liu Yu. After all, His Majesty also knows about the corruption of Hebei Road.
If we attack Hebei, Shandong and other places, we must take over this hot potato. This matter is not... suitable for us. "
"So what does Aiqing mean?"
"I don't mean anything. I just want to ask Your Majesty, do you plan to fight against the outside world or make peace at home?"
"How about fighting against foreigners? What about An Nei?"
"If we fight against foreigners, we need to pacify Xixia and conquer the Tubo tribes. Although they are quite powerful, they have their own problems. As long as we go all out, it will not be too difficult.
It's just that the consequences are also bleak, and it can be said to have both good and bad consequences. "
"Are you worried that the problems in the rear areas will intensify and that the Najin people will be involved?"
"This is inevitable. At the same time, although the Xixia people are still alive, they still have strength after all. It is indeed a bit difficult to eat him by force."
"Well...what about Anne?"
"If An Nei mainly focuses on the land south of the Yangtze River in Huaisi, and Xiang Zhong and others in the land south of the Yangtze River are already tired of hearing about it, then there will also be many roving bandits composed of stragglers in the land of Huaisi causing trouble.
Among them, the slightly more powerful ones include the powerful general Li Cheng who gathered in Zichuan and traveled south, moving between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River. Cao Cheng, who was born in Ruyin and was quite famous in Shunchang, and others.
In addition, there is Zhang Suo in Shandong. The attitude of Wang Yan and others is unclear, and we do not know their intentions.
In addition, many generals in the Central Plains are just like the same as the military generals in Hebei Road.
These people are our internal troubles, and if we are to break away from the old and bring forth new ideas, these internal troubles must be resolved. "
After Zhao Ding finished the introduction, he also brought the map that had been prepared long ago and sent it to everyone. From it, you can see the many problems that are densely packed in the Song Dynasty today.
But before they could really react, the third heavy gift from the golden man appeared in their hands.
"Report!" The soldiers who rushed from 800 miles away arrived in front of everyone covered in blood, "The Jin people sent General Jin Wushu to station on Hebei Road, and Liu Yu of the Qi Dynasty assisted him in attacking the Central Plains.
General Zongze defeated the enemy in Kaifeng, but was betrayed behind his back. General Zongze sent his general Du Chong to respond, and at the same time dispatched Wang Xie as a partial force to join him.
Du Chong's general Qi Fang and other generals rushed to Majiadu with 20,000 troops, while Wang Xie's 13,000 troops attacked the Jin people from the other side at the same time.
But Du Chong refused to move forward after sending 20,000 soldiers and horses, and cowered. Wang Xie even retreated before the battle. Poor General Qi Fang's 20,000 soldiers and horses fought to the end, but failed to turn the tide.
Being surrounded and suppressed by the Jin people, General Qi Fang only escaped with his own life.
Wang Xie's retreat in the face of the battle caused General Zongze to be trapped in a tight siege. His general Chen Que led an army of more than 10,000 people to fight to the death to cover General Zongze's retreat. In the end, he was chopped into pieces by the Jin people.
General Zongze was defeated in Kaifeng and defended Kaifeng city tightly. Jin Wushu attacked various places in the Central Plains. Upon seeing this, Du Chong and Wang Xie chose to surrender. His Majesty... His Majesty's remaining general Kong Yanzhou also surrendered to the Jin people.
The Central Plains had almost fallen, and Jin Wushu had already begun to go to Jiankang and other places to conquer Jiangnan. "
After Na Babaili finished speaking, the monarchs and ministers in the court fell into silence again.
"It's... what a great gift." Zhao Huan couldn't help but sneer, "Kong Yanzhou has done a lot of credit for me, and I wanted him to stay behind and deal with Zhong Xiang and others.
I never thought that he would choose to join the Jinren..."
Zhao Huan couldn't help but cursed at himself as he spoke, "I've never heard of Wang Xie, but Du Chong is not a good guy.
But...it didn't happen at this time! "
The butterfly effect is getting bigger and bigger, the treacherous minister Tong Guan has become his confidant, and Yu Wenxuzhong, the leader of the Song Dynasty, has become the mainstay of his Song Dynasty, but some people still choose to be like this.
Zhao Huan suddenly felt that the road ahead would become increasingly difficult.
"Everyone of the Qing family, please step back first. I know this matter well. The two Qing family members, Zhao Qing, Yu, Wen, and Peng Ju, please stay."
Zhao Huan felt that it was time for him to fight back.
