There are no words related to emperor, which shows that Li Renxiao is very aware of the situation of Xixia and the strength of the Liberation Army.
Su Yonglin was satisfied with this attitude.
So after reading Li Renxiao's letter, Su Yonglin read the letter written by Tu Dan Hexi to Li Renxiao.
Tu Dan Hexi's letter said that although the Jin Kingdom had suffered changes, he heard that there were still a large number of resistance troops in Liaodong. The Liberation Army only won by luck and could not completely destroy the Jin Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Jin still controls large areas of Guanzhong and Liaodong, as well as an elite and capable army of 200,000. The loss of Yanyun does not mean anything. It can only be said to be a temporary mistake due to the emperor's stupidity and treacherous ministers. The war is far from over. When it's over.
The Kingdom of Jin can still launch a counterattack and has the strength to launch a counterattack. It can also regain lost territory and destroy the Liberation Army.
Xixia has always been a friendly vassal state to the Jin Kingdom. They have been very friendly since Li Renxiao's father. Now that the suzerain country is in trouble, the vassal state should send troops to help.
Therefore, Tu Dan Hexi hoped that Li Renxiao could send 100,000 troops to Hedong to help him contain the Hedong Restoration Army. He himself would lead troops out of Tongguan to attack Henan in order to regain Henan.
As long as the Jin Kingdom 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 Jin Congress will reward Xixia with the three states of Shizhou, Lanzhou, and Xinhuizhou that they have always wanted as a reward. If Xixia still hopes, he will also cut some areas east of the river and reward them to Xixia as a reward for sending troops to help. .
Good guy, what's going on with this inexplicable yet arrogant tone?
With a smile, Su Yonglin read the two letters, then placed them side by side in front of him, and looked up at Ren Chunzhong and Ao Daochong.
"I have read the letter written by your Majesty to me, and I have also read the letter written by Tu Dan Hexi to your Majesty. I am very happy that your Majesty can make such a choice. Maybe you I still don’t know that Liaodong was pacified by me a month ago.”
Ren Chunzhong and Ao Daochong were both stunned, and then quickly reacted and immediately congratulated Su Yonglin, praised Su Yonglin's illustrious martial arts, and expressed their heartfelt congratulations to him.
Su Yonglin waved his hand with a smile and said: "The Jin Kingdom has a clan in Liaodong, named Wanyan Yong. He rashly proclaimed himself emperor and tried to fight me, so I killed him. The Jin army in Liaodong was 60,000 to 70,000, and I have already killed all of them." Annihilate and capture the Jurchen population, which has exceeded one million.
Huining Mansion, the last stronghold of the Jin Army in Liaodong, is already under my control. The old home of the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom no longer exists, and even the old home no longer exists. Even if Tudan Hexi still has one hundred thousand elites, How long can we persist?
I don't think it's strange to make such a choice after knowing this matter. It's normal. However, your country's leader obviously didn't know about this matter, but he still made such a decision. I think this is worthy of appreciation and it is very good. good. "
Ren Chunzhong and Ao Daochong both breathed a sigh of relief.
What Su Yonglin meant beyond words was that he was very happy and satisfied with Xixia's timely statement, so he agreed with Xixia's choice and would not use Xixia as his enemy.
that's enough.
To be honest, Xixia's national destiny has never improved since Li Yuanhao's chaos in his later years. It has always been in chaos.
At the beginning, Li Yuanhao's martial virtue was so great that he defeated the Song Dynasty through three major battles: the Battle of Sanchuankou, the Battle of Haoshui, and the Battle of Dingchuan Debt, causing the Song Dynasty to lose his wife and troops.
Then he defeated Liao Xingzong and his 100,000 troops who were personally conquered by the emperor, and defeated the Liao Kingdom in disgrace.
A small regional country defeated the two great powers of Song and Liao through wars one after another. Li Yuanhao and the Great Xia Kingdom he established became famous all over the world.
How glorious was Xixia at that time?
However, as time passed, Li Yuanhao became complacent and became confused in his later years, which caused the chaos in the Xixia government, causing internal strife in the court and the dictatorship of his relatives.
During the periods of Xia Yizong and Xia Huizong, the dictatorship of foreign relatives caused turmoil in the court, and the economic situation was very bad.
Xixia itself is a small and barren country with very limited agricultural productivity and only three to four million citizens. It cannot compete with the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Song Dynasty in terms of economic and national strength. Although it won several wars, its gains were limited, and it lost its ties with the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Song Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom had opportunities for trade in the Northern Song Dynasty, so the country became increasingly poor and the people complained.
Perennial wars made Xixia impoverished, and the poor economic situation made Xixia turn from defense to offense and could not continue to expand its territory. In his later years, Li Yuanhao also engaged in court struggles, and the officialdom was destroyed.
In the early days of Xia Chongzong's reign, with the dictatorship of the Empress Dowager Liang inside and the military threat from the Northern Song Dynasty outside, Xixia was in a very bad situation.
After Wang Anshi's reform, the Northern Song Dynasty strengthened its military power with military tactics. The military aspect once gained momentum. Through a series of military strikes, Xixia was beaten to the point where it could not raise its head. 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, but the authoritarian Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was still unwilling to give up the war with the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Xia Kingdom was unable to check and balance the Queen Mother Xiaoliang within the country. In the end, the Liao Kingdom even sent people to poison the Queen Mother Xiaoliang as the suzerain state, which finally ended the chaos of Xixia's relatives.
Later, the Liao Kingdom fell and the Jin Kingdom prospered. Xia Chongzong surrendered to the Jin Kingdom and gained peace for a lifetime. Then Xia Chongzong died of illness and the throne passed to Li Renxiao.
Today's Xixia no longer has the momentum that Li Yuanhao had when he defeated the two great powers of Liao and Song Dynasty with an army of 500,000. It is a mediocre small country that cannot even quell domestic chaos on its own. It is also highly dependent economically on its overlord, the Jin Kingdom. trade relations.
Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to send someone to see Su Yonglin at this time, and use his credit for betraying Jin Kingdom's military intelligence in exchange for Su Yonglin's financial exemption?
After Su Yonglin conquered Xijing and Hedong, he effectively cut off the original bilateral trade between the Jin Kingdom and Xixia, cut off commercial contacts with Xixia, and observed Xixia's attitude and situation.
Xixia obviously couldn't bear this situation. Faced with the shortage of domestic materials and soaring prices, Li Renxiao took the initiative to send someone to contact Su Yonglin.
With such a fragile economic strength, it is indeed impossible to compete with major powers.
After coming to this conclusion, Su Yonglin did not embarrass Xixia, but decided to temporarily accommodate Xixia, establish a bilateral relationship between the Jin Kingdom and Xixia, and allow Xixia to become his vassal state.
Although the economic strength is weak, the military strength still has some old foundation left by Li Yuanhao. A hundred thousand troops can still be used. Even if they stay at the border and do not move out, they are still a threat to the Guanzhong Jin Army and Tu Dan Hexi and can contain them. Part of the Jin Army in Guanzhong.
We must win over those who should be won over, and unite all the forces that can be united. The lion and the rabbit will also try their best to crush the Kingdom of Jin to death!
In the evening, Su Yonglin hosted a banquet for Ren Chunzhong, Ao Daochong and the entire Xixia envoy, giving them food, drink and fun.
During the dinner, Ren Chunzhong smiled and took out a gift list and handed it to Su Yonglin, saying that it was a meeting gift presented to Su Yonglin in his personal capacity by Ren Dejing, the Prime Minister of Great Xia. Because the quantity was relatively large, it was not ready yet. He would wait until it was ready. It will be sent to the border between the two countries and handed over to Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin looked at the gift list with some surprise. He was slightly stunned, then put away the gift list, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ren and Mr. Ren are both surnamed Ren, so what about Mr. Ren and Mr. Ren?"
"Xianggong Ren is my uncle."
Ren Chunzhong said with a smile: "On this mission, my uncle asked me to come as an envoy to pay homage to the general. My uncle has long heard of the general's illustrious military exploits and admires him very much."
"Really? I really have to thank Mr. Ren very much. Please go back and express my gratitude to Mr. Ren on my behalf."
Ren Chunzhong was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Definitely! Definitely!"
