Chapter 834 Rebirth from ashes(2/2)
Some nobles even borrowed a large amount of debts in order to hoard Helan stones. In the Xixia treasury, they also controlled a large amount of Helan stones in their hands and regarded it as the most important wealth.
But in the blink of an eye, the Helan Stone depreciated by hundreds or even nearly a thousand times. How much impact did it have on Xixia? The wealth of the entire Xixia can be said to have shrunk by more than half. Some nobles were forced to commit suicide and the remaining nobles were more than half. Because of this incident, their value was no longer a noble, almost the same as that of civilians, and they were not as good as those tribal leaders who still had some cattle and sheep in their hands.
Not only the Western Xia, but also some merchants in the Song Dynasty were forced to destroy their families because of this impact.
However, no one sympathizes with this. You followed the paddling and speculation. The price of Helan stone has risen. You are rich and Xixia is rich.
When the Song army retreated, Liang Yibu immediately retreated the three armies and hurried back to Xingqing Prefecture to discuss with Xiaoliang.
"Brother, I can't count on the Liao Kingdom," said Xiao Liang.
As the Song Dynasty sent troops to Yinzhou again, the Xixia sent envoys to ask for help from the Liao Kingdom. The Song Dynasty sent a large army to destroy Xixia. Hurry up and save us.
But Yelu Hongji is now having a headache for Liaodong. Besides, Wang Juzheng used troops to Tubo, so he came to attack Xia. You should fight slowly, we don’t have the heart to care about you.
However, Xixia did not know that there was any change in Liaodong, so this pair of precious brothers and sisters made the Liao Kingdom hate it and also had no hope for the Liao Kingdom.
Liang Yibi was worried that Wang Ju had already arrived in Lanzhou at this time and often went to the front line to inspect, and even rode a horse to Xiaoguan to inspect it personally, which showed that the Song Dynasty had basically pacified Hehuang, otherwise Wang Ju would not have been able to get out of it.
But the Western Xia is getting worse every year. Although the Song Dynasty did not invade the Yinzhou of Xiazhou again, the Yinzhou of Xiazhou was basically a pile of ruins. In the past two or three years, it was no longer vital energy. Although some measures were taken to make up for it, the vital energy was also severely damaged.
What's even more terrible is the Helan stone work, which caused many families to be destroyed, including the Xixia treasury shrunk by half. Shortly after the autumn harvest ended, many people were unable to eat enough, and many people at the border took the initiative to flee to the Song Dynasty. However, for some reason, the Song Dynasty did not take in the Xixia people, but instead expelled them.
Think about it, when spring comes next year, what will happen to Xixia?
Liang Yiqiu took a few steps and said, "Little sister, it's really not possible. Let's surrender to the Song Dynasty."
"Surrender?" Xiao Liang shouted sharply.
"It's not really surrender, it's surrender."
“What’s the difference?”
"We sent envoys to the Song Dynasty, one was to apologize, two was to cede the territory, admitting that the Song Dynasty occupied the Huizhou area of Yinzhou Longzhou, three was to not give it to every year, and four was to promise 10,000 war horses to the Song Dynasty every year."
"No!" Xiao Liang immediately rejected that this woman was even more crazy than Da Liang.
"Little sister, let me tell you that this is too safe and powerful. We are all defeated, so we lost all of them. The voices of the nobles and tribes who opposed the war in China have become stronger. In this case, we continue to get into evil with the Song Dynasty. Maybe we will rebel in the country and the Liao Kingdom will not support it. The demise of the Great Xia is about to come!" Liang Yibi explained, which was also the result of his reflection during this period.
"We have put forward such humiliating conditions and the Song Dynasty did not agree. Then the tribes of our Daxia Kingdom will unite, and at the same time, they can pass these conditions on to the people of Liao to let them know the seriousness of the matter."
"The Song Dynasty lacks horses, so we don't give them a year. Second, we don't give them a large number of war horses. Some ministers will be moved. Moreover, there will be many ministers who are unwilling to fight in the Song Dynasty, so that the Taibao will not receive the support of many ministers. With one decline and the other rising, the Taibao will have to force the war. Our country will face the enemy with the aura of a mourning army and be highly motivated. Maybe the Liao Kingdom will come to support the army at that time. Only then will the Daxia Kingdom be able to survive this dangerous period."
Xiao Liang was still unhappy.
Liang Yibi said again: "Little sister, is the so-called promise really important?"
Well, this sentence made Xiao Liang's eyes lit up.
The Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom still valued this promised thing more, but for the Western Xia, it was like farting.
"Also, do you know the words that the master is so powerful that he is shocked? Why did the Taibao say that he made the Song Dynasty rule over three years, and now he destroyed Tubo again. The credit has reached this point, and he can no longer stay, so it takes three years."
"Why did he do this?"
"The pedantic literary talent is so proud!" Liang Yibi said disdainfully.
But he didn't know that it was this kind of integrity that made this nation stand firm. Even if the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, this spirit could not be found in their Han people, or they could not understand it.
"And we can also send scouts to make some noise, such as the Taibao is ten times stronger than Liu Yu."
"Who is Liu Yu?"
"Little sister, you need to read more. Liu Yu was the founding emperor of the Southern and Southern Song Dynasty. He was originally a military general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His ability to lead troops may be higher than that of the Taibao. Later, he led the Jin army to take Guanzhong. Because of his great achievements, some ministers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty were dissatisfied with him, so he immediately took the army to replace the Jin Dynasty emperor and became the emperor himself."
"Huh"
"As long as these measures can be implemented, we will survive the difficulties in the past two years. Once the Taibao leaves the Song Dynasty, we can be reborn from Daxia again!" (To be continued.)
