Under the moon, Xingqing Mansion.

The news that Huliu's army came out of Langshan and killed Helanshan quickly reached Xingqing Prefecture. The Western Xia court and the people were shocked. Li Ganshun summoned the civil and military ministers to discuss countermeasures urgently.

Brother Richard misjudged the situation. He always thought that Li Hu did not dare to cross Langshan and had enough time to stabilize the situation in Kyoto, so after he defeated Prime Minister Xue Yuanli with bloody means, he immediately began to eliminate Han ministers and began to modify the national policy. But Li Ganshun was clear about his mind. He knew that he was at a disadvantage in this round of Han and Fan struggle. If he blindly gave in and let Richard do whatever he wanted, not only would the imperial power be severely hit, but even the national fortune would be in danger. Therefore, he tried his best to protect Han ministers and maintain the current policy. One of the major decisions he made was to re-appoint his mother's minister and appoint his uncle Liang Qishen as the prime minister of the country to fight against Brother Richard.

The Liang family of Western Xia was a Han Chinese, a prominent family in the northwest, and had a good relationship with the ancestors of the Western Xia royal family for generations. Li Jiqian established himself in the northwest, and the Liang family followed him. Li Yuanhao founded the country and received strong help from the Liang family. During the more than 80 years of the founding of the Western Xia country, he had four emperors, including the third emperor Huizong Li Bingchang as the throne at the age of eight, and the state affairs were led by his mother, Empress Dowager Liang. Empress Dowager Liang appointed his younger brother Liang Yi as the prime minister, and since then, the Western Xia foreign relatives have ruled.

Seventeen years later, Emperor Huizong died and Li Ganshun succeeded to the throne. His mother was Liang Yi's daughter, and the Queen Mother Liang appointed his brother Liang Qi as the prime minister, so the Western Xia Dynasty had a continuous situation of dictatorship of the Liang family's relatives.

Liang Qi was arrogant and domineering, posing a threat to the orphan and widowed mother, so Empress Dowager Liang joined forces with a group of ministers to kill his brother. This killing hit the power of the Liang family. A few years later, Empress Dowager Liang suffered a bad consequence and was secretly killed by Emperor Daozong of Liao. The Emperor of the Great Liao killed the Empress Dowager Xixia, which was obviously far-fetched, so there have been rumors in the Western Xia court that the Empress Dowager was killed by Li Ganshun because Li Ganshun was exactly sixteen years old that year and was about to take charge of the rule. If the Empress Dowager died, he would take charge of the rule?

As soon as the Queen Mother Liang died, the prominent power brought by the Liang family "one family and two descendants" also disappeared. However, the Liang family's status in Western Xia was too high. It was the pillar of the Han clan of the Western Xia. Its disciples and former officials were everywhere in the northwest, and its close relationship with the royal family could not be cut off. Therefore, when Li Ganshun adopted Xue Yuanli's suggestion to promote the Han rituals of the Han, the Liang family immediately entered the court again. However, this time, the Liang family was relatively low-key, allowing Xue Yuanli and a group of Han ministers to charge in front and command themselves behind.

Brother Richard's opponent was nominally Xue Yuanli, but actually Liang's family. So when Brother Richard defeated Xue Yuanli, the Liang family had to come forward to turn the tide. The struggle between Western Xia and Han and Fan has entered the **.

The main body of this struggle was not only the conflict between Han and Fan, but also the power struggle between the royal family and the foreign relatives. The power struggle between the Xixia royal family and the foreign relatives was very bloody. The Liang family's two dictatorships lasted for thirty years, and heavyweights on both sides died one after another, which shows the intensity of the struggle.

After Li Ganshun took office, he suppressed both the royal family and the relatives of the foreign country, but he promoted the Han rituals and valued the Han ministers, which actually hurt the interests of the royal family and the foreign country. Therefore, the royal family tried every means to seize power. For example, Richard took power with his military merits, while Liang gave up the foreign country learning of the foreign country and instead promoted the Han rituals to learn Han rituals, so as to win the support of the Han genius clan and then controlled the power through the Han ministers.

Brother Richard was determined to set up a plan to seize power. He succeeded and pushed down Xue Yuanli and a group of Han ministers. But he also failed at the same time because he angered the emperor. The most powerful opponent, Liang, returned again after silence for twenty years. This led to the situation in Xingqing Prefecture becoming worse and worse.

At this moment, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army began to attack, which made the situation even more tense. The entire Kyoto was chaotic and frightened.

Brother Richard was prepared for this. Although he had miscalculated the development of the situation, he was not afraid. In his opinion, Li Hu had no strength or conditions to attack Xixia. This invasion was largely a threat. Li Hu might have planned to blackmail from Xixia to more things with force.

Richard proposed a local plan for this purpose. In the north, he relied on favorable terrain and dangerous passes to defend the enemy. In the south, he took the initiative to attack, thus forcing the Song Dynasty to maintain the peace and covenant and forcibly ordered Li Hu to withdraw his troops.

This countermeasure is obviously more conservative. This is based on the chaos in Xingqing Prefecture and the serious lack of national strength in Xixia. Li Hu's strength is limited. The wealth of the North is even more limited. Moreover, Datong was threatened by the Jin army. Therefore, Li Hu would withdraw his troops if he couldn't hold on for long. As for the direction of Shaanxi, because the Song Dynasty was currently mainly focused on quelling the rebellion in Hebei and Shandong. Therefore, the Northwest Army would not launch a war against Xia. At this time, the Xia army's active attack would inevitably win peace talks between the Song Dynasty. This strategy can not only resolve the crisis at the minimum cost, but also stabilize Xingqing Prefecture. Of course, it is impeccable.

However, the Prime Minister Liang Qishen believed that Richard had misunderstood the current situation. He and some ministers insisted that this was the second large-scale attack on Xixia by the Song Dynasty. For this reason, Xingqing Prefecture had to use the power of the entire kingdom to defend with all its might. According to his plan, the Xia army was divided into three parts, and part of them resisted in the north of Helan Mountain.

Some of them were blocking the Song army in Ling and Xia, while the main force was concentrated in Xingqing Capital.

The Han and Fan ministers fought with reason and refused to give in.

If Richard's plan is followed, the main force of the Xia army will go south to attack, and the Xia army will be firmly controlled by Richard. On the contrary, if Liang Qishen's plan is followed, the Xia army will be divided into three, and its main force will gather in Xingqing Prefecture, and Emperor Li Qianshun can take the opportunity to control part of the military power, which is very beneficial to weakening and curbing Richard's plan.

Li Qian naturally adopted Liang Qishen's strategy.

The royal family king Li Anhui served as the commander of the North Road. The royal family king Li Renzhong guarded the capital. The Jin king Li Chage served as the commander of the South Road, responsible for attacking the Song Dynasty.

In the face of a great enemy, internal strife will only lead to the defeat of the country. Richard Brother had to accept the emperor's arrangements from the overall situation. He asked to go to Helan Mountain to block the Tiger and Lieutenant Army, but the emperor and Liang Qishen believed that the main attack direction of the Song Dynasty was in Hengshan, Tiandu Mountain, and the southern battlefield was more important, so he refused his request.

In the end of June, Taiyuan.

Tong Guan, Wang Anzhong and Zhe Yan heard that the Huliu Army had launched an attack on Xia on the 15th of this month. Knowing that the dissuasion was invalid, they hurried back to Taiyuan to discuss countermeasures.

The Tiger and Lieutenant Army went deep into the country alone. Should the Northwest Army provide support?

The king was very angry at Li Hu's unremitting behavior. Bian Jing wanted to kill Li Hu and planned to join forces with the Jin people to attack. Li Hu transferred the main force to attack Xixia at this moment, which just gave the Jin army a chance, and also gave Bian Jing the opportunity to mobilize the Northwest Army to go north to occupy Yunzhong Road.

"If Bianjing knew about this news, would he issue an order to attack Datong?" This is the question that the king was most worried about.

"Of course, the official will issue an order." Tong Guan said, "The reason why people like Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan and others strongly advocate the elimination of Li Hu is not only to eliminate external troubles, but also to eliminate internal troubles."

Tong Guan said this very implicitly, but Prince Yun, Zhe Yanzhi and others understood it as soon as they heard it. The dispute over the reign of the Bian Jing Earth Emperor is obviously not good for Prince Yun. In order to crack down on and curb military generals, the first priority of civil servants in Bian Jing is to weaken the strength of the people and land in the northwest, and to kill Li Hu, or use this opportunity to alienate the relationship between Li Hu and the people in the northwest. This is the best way to attack military generals.

"The officials had planned to dispatch the Northwest Army to Shandong, Hebei to quell the rebellion, but because the relationship between Hulie Prefecture and the Song Dynasty became worse and worse, the Northwest Army's responsibility for guarding the border was very serious. This proposal was immediately abandoned, which directly led to the rebellion in Shandong, Hebei to have not been quelled yet." Tong Guan continued, "If Bian Jing issued an order to ask the Northwest Army to go north to attack Datong, and you delayed the move, the consequences can be imagined." Tong Guan stared at Prince Yun's face, which became very pale due to anger and fear, and aggravated his tone, "especially for Your Highness, it is even more unfavorable."

The flesh on Wang's cheek shook slightly a few times, then gritted his teeth and said, "Li Hu is a lunatic. What exactly does he want to do? Don't he know that attacking Xixia is a desperate situation?"

"Li Hu is going to be in a desperate situation." Tong Guan smiled slightly, "I will die and live. Li Hu was surrounded and had to rush left and right to break out a bloody path."

"Do you have to fight Xixia?"

"Does Your Highness want him to attack Hebei?"

The king's face froze and shook his head helplessly, "So, how can he find a way out?"

"The question now is whether the Jin army will attack Datong? When will it attack Datong?" Tong Guan's eyes turned to Zhe Yanzhi, "The movements of the Jin army are closely related to the countermeasures we need to take next."

Zhe Yanzhi naturally knew what Tong Guan meant, but he did not believe in Tong Guan, and he did not dare to expose the ideas of the Northwest people, so he remained silent.

"When Li Hu moves, the situation in Daibei will change drastically. When the situation in Daibei will change drastically, the world will change drastically." Tong Guan said, "Under the current situation, the Jin army may be the most likely to attack Youyan. If the Jin army captures Youyan, it will definitely go to Hebei. Now the army and the rebels in Hebei are fighting, and they are in chaos and are unable to resist the Jin army at all. Therefore, we hope that Li Hu will not move and firmly restrain the Jin army in Daibei. Unfortunately, Bian Jing mistakenly estimated the situation and came up with a wrong strategy, forcing Li Hu to fight back." Tong Guan sighed long, "To be honest, Li Hu did not betray the Song Dynasty and did not go south to attack Hebei, which is already the Song Dynasty's luck."

"The father trusts you, you can advise him..."

"I can't say a word now." Tong Guan smiled bitterly, "Your Highness is in charge of the Northwest military and has been supported by the Northwest Generals and Hu Lie Mansion. If I advise the officials not to kill Li Hu at this moment, what does it mean? I have been in charge of the Northwest Military for twenty years. Many generals of the Northwest Army have been promoted by me. I have a certain influence in the Northwest, so I must remain silent in this matter."

Wang, Zhe Yanzhi, Zhang Xiaochun and others looked at each other but didn't say anything. This was a statement from Tong Guan, a statement loyal to Prince Yun.
