Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 139 Song and Xia formed an alliance and took advantage of Lintao Mansion

Jin Emperor Wanyan Shouxu looked at the noisy courtiers below and rubbed his head in pain.

The Golden Kingdom has become what it is today, and it is inseparable from you gang of rebellious officials and traitors. If it weren't for your confusion, would my father have made so many mistakes?

When the Mongols first invaded, the attitude of the Song State was actually very ambiguous, and they really wanted to join forces with the Jin State to resist the Mongols.

Because the Song Dynasty understands better than anyone else what a powerful grassland nation will do after it rises and goes south!

Back then, the Song State and the Jin State destroyed the Liao State, and then the Jin State captured half of the country.

How could Song State not know this kind of lesson learned from the past!How could the ministers in the court not know?
But these bastards still made a stupid plan for their father.

In just a few short years, since the rise of Mongolia, the northern part of their Kingdom of Jin and even the land of Longxing were lost. As a result, these ministers came up with a solution.

As much land as the Mongols seized from the north, they took back as much land from the Song Dynasty.

How stupid and ignorant is this?The one who attacked us was Mongolia, and the only one who could help us defeat Mongolia was the Song Dynasty. But you actually encouraged my father to attack the Song Dynasty and seize land from the Song Dynasty.

The ancestor Wanyan Aguda was able to destroy the Liao Kingdom and occupy half of the Song Kingdom because of the incomparable bravery of their Jurchens, the Iron Buddha Tu.

But since entering the Song Dynasty, the bloody nature of the Jurchens has been completely lost. The iron pagoda, which was once powerful in the world, has now become a group of drunken people, and they even have to rely on Han soldiers to stabilize the country.

"Your Majesty, I thought Xixia would send an envoy soon, asking us to send troops to rescue as soon as possible."

"Why save them? Let Xixia block Genghis Khan for two more years, which can buy us more time. Xixia has a population of more than 300 million, and Genghis Khan will destroy Xixia.

It will take at least four or five years. In four or five years, our Jin Kingdom can recover its strength, or seize some land from the Song Kingdom to serve as a buffer zone. "A Jurchen tribe," the general said.

All the Jurchen generals, especially the generals, basically looked down on the Song State. They believed that the Song State's army was extremely cowardly and that the generals were just a bunch of losers who were suppressed by a bunch of civil servants.

The strategy of losing the north and making up for the south has a large number of supporters among the Jurchen generals. If we can't defeat Mongolia, can we still be unable to defeat the Song Dynasty?

"Your Majesty, does he know the truth behind the cold lips? Xixia is now an ally with us. Xixia is threatened by Mongolia. At this time, we should do our best to help Xixia survive this crisis." A Han civil servant stood up and said.

"Hmph! That's what you Han people do. The Xixia people were still at war with us two years ago, and they only formed an alliance with us recently. They didn't give us any benefits, but now they want us to go over and help resist Genghis Khan.

Moreover, it is us generals who go to support us, not you civil servants. You civil servants hide in the court all day long and enjoy themselves. How can you know the suffering of military generals? "A Jurchen general pointed at the nose of a Han civil servant and cursed.

"Yes, and what kind of virtue is Xixia? Starting from their founding emperor Li Yuanhao, they are a bunch of ungrateful people.

They have betrayed the Liao Kingdom, betrayed us, betrayed the Mongols, and betrayed the Song Kingdom. There is nothing they cannot do. Now that they are being attacked by Genghis Khan, they deserve it. "Another Jurchen general said.

"Having said that, if Mongolia destroys Xixia.

We, the Jin Kingdom, have to fight on two fronts, and our relationship with Song State is not good. If Song State stabs us in the back again, we will have to fight on three fronts. " Jin Kingdom general Wanyan Heda said.

Among all the Jurchen generals, he is the one who understands things more clearly.

The previous strategies simply didn't work. The Song Kingdom in the south had to make up for the lost land in the north.

The most important thing to do at this time is Xixia. They, the Jin Kingdom and the Song Kingdom, have united together, and even roped in the Dali Kingdom who was watching the excitement.

Fight together against the powerful Mongolia. In the past, Mongolia was only thought to be an emerging steppe country, but now it occupies the northern part of the Jin Kingdom and has the support of the powerful Han people. After conquering the countries in the Western Region, Mongolia's power has become stronger and stronger.

"I agree with General Wanyan Heda's strategy, but we cannot reduce the number of troops in Tongguan, the number of troops on the Yellow River defense line cannot be reduced, and the number of troops defending the Song Dynasty cannot be reduced. How can we spare the troops to support Xixia What?" Jin Emperor Wanyan Shuxu said helplessly.

How could he not know that supporting Xixia was the most important thing at this time.

Even if Xixia bites them back in the future, supporting Xixia at this time is the wisest choice.

But dispatching a large army does not just happen. It requires a lot of money, food and military expenditures. The entire Jin Kingdom is extremely poor right now!
"No matter how many people there are, even 1, it would be good to slightly reduce the burden on Xixia." Another Han civil servant said.

It is a pity that the Jin Kingdom cannot even organize an expeditionary force of tens of thousands of people. It has been eroded by Mu Huali for more than ten years, and the strength of the Jin Kingdom has already declined.

Even the previous Yanjing has been lost, and the current capital is Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

"Let's discuss it another day!" Wanyan Shouxu waved his hand and said.

This time's disaster may depend on whether the Xixia people can survive it. They, the Jin Kingdom, really have no choice.

They even expected Xixia to send reinforcements to help them relieve the pressure in the north. Where can they find the troops to support Xixia?
The Great Jin Kingdom can't even get out even a little bit of money and food now.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to make peace with the Song Dynasty as soon as possible."

"No, the Song Dynasty is our mortal enemy, and the threat is greater than Mongolia. You must know that the people of the Song Dynasty are always thinking about the Northern Expedition and want to take back their land." A Jin Dynasty general said.

Wanyan Shouxu didn't say anything when he heard this. He really wanted to reconcile with the Song Dynasty.

They even established an alliance, but the feud between the two countries is not so easy to resolve.

Coupled with his father's previous confusing operations, this matter became even more impossible.

Helpless, it seems that God is helping Mongolia and helping Mongolia conquer the world.

In the end, this court meeting failed to proceed. No one on either side could convince the other. Some proposed not to rescue Xixia, some proposed to rescue Xixia but only sent a small number of troops, and some proposed to rescue Xixia with all their strength and fight for the country.

There were even proposals to send envoys to the Song Dynasty again to unite with the Song Dynasty in the south, but in the end, all these proposals were rejected one by one.

A few days later, an envoy from the Xixia Kingdom came to Kaifeng, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and met the Jin Emperor Wanyan Shouxu.

"Your envoy has come all the way, but I don't know what you are doing!"

"The foreign minister pays homage to Emperor Dajin! Our country, Xixia, has formed an alliance with Dajin and agreed to fight the Mongols together. But now the Mongolian army is about to attack Xixia, and why doesn't Dajin save us?" Xixia's envoy asked.

"We, the Jin Kingdom, are not willing to send troops to rescue us, but we are really helpless. Our Jin Kingdom has lost most of its territory, and now we need to comprehensively respond to the Mongolian cavalry attack.

Fortunately, the natural dangers of the Yellow River are still there and the fortified city of Tongguan is defended, so we can survive until now. How can there be any remaining troops to rescue Xixia? "Jin Emperor Wanyan Shouxu said with a sigh.

After several days of deliberations, the Jin Kingdom finally decided not to send troops to rescue Xixia.

Instead, they took advantage of the past few years when Mongolia exterminated Xixia to continue to accumulate strength and prepare for a decisive battle with Mongolia in the future.

Wanyan Shouxu also knew that this was just a matter of hanging on for a while, but what could he do?

The Great Jin Kingdom now is no longer the Great Jin Kingdom of the past. If troops were sent to rescue Xixia at this time.

Maybe it will accelerate its own demise faster. We can only hope that Xixia can survive for a few more years.

Moreover, the two countries formed a secret alliance, and the Jin Kingdom later publicized this matter and made it known to the whole world.

In fact, it was hoped that Xixia could attract Mongolia's firepower so that the Jin Kingdom could take a breather. "Since the Kingdom of Jin is unwilling to save us, please make way so that we can go to the land of the Song Kingdom, ask for help from the Song Kingdom, and open a road for the officers and soldiers of the Song Kingdom to pass through." The Xixia envoy continued to say .

He didn't have much hope in asking for help from the Kingdom of Jin this time, and even everyone in Xixia didn't think that the Kingdom of Jin was capable of rescuing them.

Let them open up a road so that the Song State can be adjacent to Xixia and rely on the power of the Song State. This is the real purpose of Xixia.

Hearing this, Wanyan Shouxu was shocked. Xixia actually wanted to ask Song for help?
"Open the national highway to allow the Song army to enter. I need to discuss this matter with all the ministers. Your envoy, please stay here for a few days." Wanyan Shouxu thought for a moment and said.

"Please consider that we are allies and open a path for Xixia and Song!" Wanyan Shouxu of the Xixia Envoy Team bowed and left the hall.

After the Xixia envoy left, Jin Emperor Wanyan Shouxu immediately summoned all civil and military officials to discuss matters.

He also told the civil and military officials about the Xixia envoy's wish to borrow the road.

"This Xixia is also suffering from illnesses. Now the envoys have not even reached the territory of the Song Dynasty, but they have begun to ask for help from our country. Does it matter whether the Song Dynasty sends troops or not?" a Xixia Jurchen general said.

"Your Majesty, you can't borrow this line! Song State and us are mortal enemies. We agree to take over the line. But if Song State suddenly attacks, what should we do?" A Jurchen general stood up and said.

"But if we don't borrow it, then the alliance with Xixia Kingdom will be gone."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Wanyan Heda, has something to say." At this time, Wanyan Heda, a famous general from the Kingdom of Jin, suddenly stood up and said.

"Ai Qing, what good advice do you have?" Wanyan Shouxu asked.

"Your Majesty can open a way and let Xixia's envoys enter the territory of Song State first, and discuss with the Emperor of Song State. If Song State is willing to send troops to help and wants to use our country's methods, then we can sit down and raise the price." Wanyan Heda He spoke.

"What kind of plan is this?"

"Your Majesty! If the Song Kingdom is willing to help Xixia, then Xixia can survive for a while longer. If Xixia can survive for a longer period of time, we will have more preparation time, gather more soldiers and horses, and train more soldiers. We Just one more chance of winning." Wanyan Heda said.

Hearing this, Jin Emperor Wanyan Shouxu nodded. This was indeed the truth.

Now if the Jin Kingdom cannot support Xixia, then Xixia can last longer or even defeat Mongolia, which will be a great benefit to the Jin Kingdom.

"Are you sure that the Song Dynasty will agree to send troops to help Xixia?
The Xixia people were capricious and had surrendered to my country, the previous Liao, Song, and even Mongolia many times, but in the end they all rebelled. "Wanyan Shouxu said.

"I am confident that the Song State will definitely agree to help Xixia. Although the number of troops dispatched may not be large, they will definitely help, because the Song State does not want Mongolia to continue to march south." Wanyan Heda said.

If the Jin State had not attacked the Song State first, during the war between the Jin State and Mongolia.

The Song State wanted to join forces with the Jin State. Now that Xixia has come to the door and is willing to resist Mongolia, the Song State should agree to help.

"Moreover, if the Song Dynasty borrows the road from our country, we can take the opportunity to ask for a batch of money from Xixia, or supplies of grain and grass, or weapons, armor, whatever, we can take as much as we can. This will be helpful for us when we face Mongolia in the future. There are benefits to all." Wanyan Heda said.

"But what if the Song Dynasty takes this opportunity and suddenly launches the Northern Expedition!"

"We can open a road of more than 200 miles in the Lintao Prefecture area to allow the Song State and Xixia to pass. If the Song State is really forced to make a northern expedition, the danger of Tongguan will block it. And I can guarantee that the Song State will never do this. Made it." Wanyan Heda said.

If the Song Dynasty really did that, then God was going to destroy his great wealth, and it was beyond human power to change it.

And if the Song Dynasty really helped Xixia, then maybe the Three Kingdoms Alliance could be formed to fight against Mongolia.

Among the three kingdoms, Song is the strongest, Jin is second, and Xixia is the weakest. If an alliance is successfully formed, Song can be the leader.

"Song State and us are mortal enemies."

"Dead enemies can also become friends. Aren't the tens of millions of Han people in the north also used by our Kingdom of Jin? We are already facing an extremely powerful Mongolia, do we want to offend the Song Dynasty again?" End Yan Heda said angrily.

There are some generals in Daijin who can't understand it. These generals who can't understand it still think that Daikin at this time is the Daikin during the Wanyan Aguda period!
Little did they know that it was already sunset in Dajin at this time.

"Okay, then let the Xixia envoys enter the Song Dynasty first. If the Song Dynasty is willing to help Xixia, then we will borrow a 200-mile road to let them enter Xixia from Lintao Mansion." Wanyan Shouxu said.

Half a month later, the Xixia envoy arrived at Lin'an City and met the Song Emperor, who had just ascended the throne, and the Prime Minister Shi Miyuan.

But the Xixia envoy waited for more than ten days before meeting Song Emperor Zhao Yun.

"Why did the foreign minister come to my office in the Song Dynasty?" Prime Minister Shi Miyuan was the first to ask.

"The foreign minister pays homage to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. We, Xixia, are now being watched by Mongolia. Genghis Khan's hundreds of thousands of troops for the Western Expedition are hoarding outside our Xixia Shazhou City. Mongolia is an ambitious country. Today, the leader of Xixia is willing to surrender to the Emperor of Song. I hope The Song Dynasty can send the Heavenly Lord to save Xixia from the fire and water. I, Xixia, are willing to offer the daughter of the country’s leader Li Dewang, and the princess of Liang to become the concubine of the Song Dynasty. The two countries will become a good friend of Qin and Jin." Xixia’s envoy knelt on the ground and said.

The civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty were not surprised. After all, it was not just once or twice that Xixia professed its vassal status to other countries, but it was not once or twice that it rebelled.

"When Xixia was founded, it professed its vassalship to the Song Dynasty, but was betrayed many times. How can it be so shameful now that you have come to ask the Song Dynasty for help!" Prime Minister Shi Miyuan asked.

"This is a time when the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. The Khwarezm Kingdom in the Western Regions was destroyed by Genghis Khan of Mongolia in a few years. Most of the northern part of the Jin Kingdom has fallen.

Our Xixia Kingdom was also defeated by the Mongols several times. If Xixia was destroyed, the Jin Kingdom would also be destroyed. How could the Song Dynasty be able to survive alone?
Today, I, Xixia, are willing to become a vassal, offer my princess, and a large dowry. From now on, I will pay tribute to the Song Dynasty every year, and regard the Song Dynasty as my suzerain state. I only hope that the Song Dynasty can protect my country and the country of Xixia. "The Xixia envoy knelt on the ground and said.

"Oh! What will happen if Xixia commits treachery again?" Song Emperor Zhao Yun asked.

"This time I, Xixia, come here sincerely. If the Song Dynasty agrees, I, Xixia, will be loyal to the Song Dynasty from generation to generation, and we will open the Hexi Corridor and reopen the trade routes in the Western Regions with the Song Dynasty." The Xixia envoy said.

"I'd like to ask your envoy to do it. The Song Dynasty and Xixia are separated by the Kingdom of Jin. If the Kingdom of Jin does not clear the way, the heavenly soldiers of the Song Dynasty will not be able to reach the territory of Xixia!" A Song Dynasty military general stood up and said.

"The Kingdom of Jin has agreed to open a 200-mile passage from Lintao Prefecture to connect our two countries, but we need to pay some money to the Kingdom of Jin." The Xixia envoy said.

"This is because Xixia came to ask me, the Song Dynasty. I, the Song Dynasty, will not participate in this matter. Xixia needs to pay the Jin Kingdom itself." Shi Miyuan said.

"As it should be."

"Okay! Our Song Dynasty soldiers and horses still need to be mobilized in a few months. In a few months, our army will go to Xixia to help Xixia fight against Mongolia." Shi Miyuan said.

The Xixia envoy was overjoyed when he heard this. His mission was finally completed this time, and Xixia was saved.

"My dear! Xixia has betrayed its trust many times. Why does it need to send out a large army to conquer Xixia?" After the Xixia envoy left, Song Emperor Zhao Yun asked.

"How could your Majesty not know the truth of the coldness of lips and teeth? Isn't today's Mongolia the same as the Jin Kingdom in the past? Aren't today's Jin Kingdom and Xixia the same as the former Liao Kingdom?
If we did not send troops to rescue us and keep the enemy out of the country, the Jin Kingdom and Xixia would be destroyed, and we, the Song Dynasty, would not make the same mistake again.

Moreover, this time we took advantage of the Jin Kingdom. After defeating the Mongols, we, the Song Dynasty, could take the opportunity to occupy Lintao Prefecture and open the way to the Western Regions. "Shi Miyuan said.

"Ai Qing is a great talent! How many troops do you think Ai Qing will need to rescue Xixia this time?" Song Emperor Zhao Yun asked.

"Soldiers are more expensive than more. We only need [-] troops with enough food and armor. However, we will need to send [-] troops later to garrison Lintao Mansion, the place where the Jin Kingdom used the road." Shi Miyuan said.

　There was a bug in the previous chapter. I looked at the map today and found that Xixia and Song Dynasty are not connected. I will correct it.
