Although he didn't promise Aodaochong anything substantial, Su Yonglin could see that Xixia was now in an era of considerable power.
Emperor Li Renxiao's power seemed to be quite limited, and Ren Dejing took away a lot of actual power.
With military power, political power, financial power, and a considerable part of personnel power, the current actual person in power in Xixia is probably Ren Dejing, otherwise there would be no need for mediators to rush in front of him and find ways to ask for help.
This greatly reduced Su Yonglin's threat to Xixia.
But then again, Li Renxiao has been the emperor for so many years, but he can't even defeat a surrendered minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. It can be imagined that this Li Renxiao is not a hero.
From this, it can be judged that his talents are quite mediocre, he has little vision and political foresight, his control level and sensitivity to power are not high, and he cannot even be regarded as an excellent conservative king.
The founding king himself is order, it doesn't matter.
The most important thing for the succeeding Lord Shoucheng is to maintain the delicate balance of the various factions in the court. Through micro-management such as pulling one faction to fight another, he maintains his authority as the emperor, establishes a new order, holds the final power of interpretation, and secures the throne. Not lost.
Li Renxiao couldn't do it, which caused the government to fall into disorder and left Dejing's family to dominate. It was obvious that his political skills were not good enough and his political skills were useless.
Not an opponent.
On the other hand, Ren Dejing, as a surrendered minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, had such an embarrassing status, but he was able to reach his current position step by step by relying on his own efforts. He was actually able to suppress the Xixia imperial power and suppress Li Renxiao, the emperor who had been the emperor for decades. He was breathless and looked quite capable.
Others also have military talents, can lead troops to fight, and have extraordinary abilities.
So Su Yonglin made a judgment. He believed that compared to Li Renxiao, Ren Dejing was a greater threat to the Liberation Army. If he were to succeed in taking power, it was hard to say what would happen to Xixia.
Su Yonglin didn't want Xixia's martial virtue to rise again. It was best to keep it low and not bring him new troubles.
However, it was too early to eradicate Ren Dejing. Li Renxiao had not yet come up with anything substantial to exchange with Su Yonglin, so there was no point in taking action.
If you want me to help deal with Ren Dejing, you have to give me some substantial benefits, right?
Then again, Ren Dejing, a mere state magistrate, was everywhere in the Northern Song Dynasty. How come he was a marginalized person in the Northern Song Dynasty, but became a powerful prime minister in Xixia?
Judging from the results, if it had not been for Xixia's invasion, it is estimated that Ren Dejing would not have had any great achievements in his life. However, because Xixia took the initiative to invade the Song Dynasty, it gave him an opportunity to rise to the top.
But if he didn't have the ability to combine vertical and horizontal directions, and didn't have that keen vision, he probably wouldn't be able to accomplish anything.
This reminded Su Yonglin of Zhang Yuan, an important adviser around Li Yuanhao. He was also a failed Jinshi in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, he could not even pass the Jinshi examination and become an official.
As a result, in Xixia, he flexed his muscles and became Li Yuanhao's military advisor. In the Battle of Haoshuichuan, he advised Li Yuanhao and defeated the Song army. After the war, he was proud and mocked Han Qi, the decision-maker of the Song army, and others, which greatly shocked the Song court. and lessons learned.
Therefore, a mere state magistrate has the potential to become the prime minister of a country, and a failed Jinshi also has the potential to preside over military and state affairs. As expected, horses with thousands of miles of horses often exist, but Bole does not always have them.
In any era, there are too many talents and too few platforms for talents to grow and display their talents. As a result, a large number of talents are lost among the crowd without the opportunity to grow.
If all talents can be reasonably employed, what will this era look like?
It can only be said that selecting and appointing talents is an eternal problem.
With such a sigh, Su Yonglin took out a notebook and silently began to revise the content of the new imperial examination he designed to replace the Confucian version of the imperial examination.
Three days later, the Xixia mission left. Not long after they left, in the middle of the first month of the new year, Ren Dejing delivered a personal gift to Su Yonglin to Baodou, a border area between the two sides, and delivered it to the Liberation Army.
After Su Yonglin learned the news, he also wrote a letter of thanks to Ren Dejing in his personal capacity, and then did not make any other interference in the situation in Xixia.
However, Xixia was very knowledgeable. Not long after, Su Yonglin learned that Xixia had deployed an army of tens of thousands on the border of Xiazhou. They were cultivating and grazing on the border. They seemed to have no intention of going south, but they caused a stir. The Jin army in Guanzhong is nervous.
The Guanzhong Jin Army mobilized some troops and arranged them to the Jinxia border, with great plans to confront them and monitor their specific actions.
Tu Dan Hexi became nervous and seemed to realize something.
In order to coordinate Xixia's actions, Su Yonglin ordered Zhang Yuejing to arrange for Zhou Zhi's troops stationed in Luoyang to slowly move closer to Tongguan, station and perform military exercises. He also ordered Su Haisheng's troops to conduct military exercises in Gengzhou and Hezhong Prefecture.
The Guanzhong Jin Army detected the actions of the Guangfu Army and the Xixia Army to station troops and perform military exercises on the border at almost the same time, which made Tu Dan Hexi stationed in Chang'an City very uneasy.
He realized that Xixia might have made a decision to move closer to the Liberation Army and abandon the Jin Kingdom, so he was very angry and angrily accused the Xixia monarchs and ministers of being shameless.
But he soon realized that there was no point in his incompetence and rage here. The Jin Kingdom was over. It seemed that this process was unstoppable and irreversible. The Liberation Army was about to replace the Jin Kingdom and become the overlord of the entire Central Plains.
It is very likely that the Kingdom of Jin will disappear in the long river of history.
But Tu Dan Hexi was unwilling to admit it.
He is a veteran who has experienced the glorious years of the Jin Kingdom and the brave era when the Jin Army galloped across the Central Plains. He is unwilling to admit that the once so powerful Jin Kingdom is about to collapse.
He wants to resist, he wants to go against the will of heaven, and with the more than 100,000 troops he has assembled, he must make a final effort. Even if there is only one soldier left, he must persist in fighting and never give up. give up!
After the news that the main force of the Jin army was destroyed and Yanyun was in danger came, the Jin army and the Jin government in the Guanzhong area were shaken and frightened for a time. It was Tu Dan Hexi who stepped forward to appease people, stabilize the situation, and make everyone listen to him. Call for action.
As a veteran with outstanding merits, Tu Dan Hexi had the qualifications to make the Jin army and officials in the Guanzhong area obey his orders.
Therefore, the forces of the Jin Kingdom in Guanzhong quickly moved closer to Tu Dan Hexi, with him as the main person in charge, and began to resist in despair.
Although he controlled the military and political power of Guanzhong, Tu Dan Hexi was not relaxed at all. As more and more news reached his ears, he even suspected that his resistance was meaningless.
But after the news came that all of them had been breached and the new emperor had been captured alive, Tu Dan Hexi suddenly figured it out.
He wants to resist, he wants to fight back, he wants to maintain the rule of the Jin Kingdom in Guanzhong, and he wants to become the last hope of the Great Jin Kingdom.
Yanyun failed, as well as the northwest, Hedong, Liaodong, and Guanzhong. The Jin Kingdom has not yet failed!
But soon, Xijing fell, Hedong fell, and the liberation army approached the pass with great momentum.
The Great Jin Kingdom saw that only two pieces of land, Liaodong and Guanzhong, were cut off by the Liberation Army. They were unable to support each other, communicate with each other, and cooperate with each other. It was very likely that they would be defeated by the Liberation Army.
Tu Danhe was anxious. On the one hand, he was actively inquiring about news from Liaodong. On the other hand, he was thinking of sending people north to contact Xixia, hoping that he could use Xixia's power to counter the Liberation Army and ease the situation in Guanzhong.
In his opinion, Xixia is a vassal state of the Jin Kingdom and has always had a good relationship. The Jin Kingdom has also helped Xixia a lot, so Xixia should repay the favor to the Jin Kingdom.
But he failed. Xixia not only failed to repay the Jin Kingdom, but also quickly colluded with the Liberation Army, Chen Bing border, and started a coordinated operation with the Liberation Army.
Presumably, they have sold the Kingdom of Jin for a good price.
While Tu Dan Hexi was furious, he could not help but feel panic - for the first time in many years of fighting, he felt panic, despair, and the feeling of being helpless.
He suddenly felt that he was facing enemies on three sides and would soon be destroyed under the attack of the three forces, and the Kingdom of Jin would completely disappear in the long river of history in the process.
Is this really the end of it?
Tudan Hexi held his head in his hands, unable to do anything.
