Chapter 256 Li Ganshun dispatched an assassin
Chapter 256 Li Ganshun sent an assassin! One update!
Li Ganshun also had a headache.
If Xixia does not agree and continues to go to war with the Song Dynasty, it will cause them too much loss.
If he agrees, what is his face?
All such sky-high conditions have been agreed. What do the people of Xixia think of him as the emperor?
I’m afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court will feel dissatisfied!
Li Ganshun asked: "My ministers, how do you think you should face these rude conditions in the Song Dynasty?"
He threw the question to the courtiers.
A court official stood up: "Your Majesty, I think that the Song Dynasty felt that our Xixia had no combat power. Yue Fei captured several cities in our Xixia and threatened it. They saw that we did not dare to fight, so they dared to be so arrogant!"
"It's better for us to send troops to wipe out Yue Fei. As long as we kill Yue Fei, the Song Dynasty will naturally talk to us for fear. Otherwise, in this situation, we will be afraid that there will be no hope of peace!"
Another courtier said: "It's just that Yue Fei is so brave and our army is defeated. Who can I send to resist Yue Fei's army?"
"Your Majesty! I believe that we should negotiate terms with them. As long as their conditions are relaxed, we Xixia are willing to negotiate peace. After all, Xixia has suffered a lot of losses. If we continue to fight, it will be unfavorable for our Xixia!"
"If the Song Dynasty sent reinforcements and the Xixia army was defeated, the consequences would be unimaginable! I'm afraid that by that time it will be no longer a matter of peace talks!"
The civil and military officials in the court were talking and expressed their own different opinions.
But most people still tend to send envoys to discuss peace again, reducing the conditions.
A small number of people want to fight.
Li Ganshun actually didn't want to fight. The conditions like Dasong made him have to fight, and he had almost no choice.
The envoy of Xixia said, "I'm afraid it won't work. Their attitude in the Song Dynasty was already very tough. Even in the past, the envoys were useless. The emissaries thought that the Song Dynasty did not want to talk to us, so they offered such conditions."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt that the atmosphere was even more depressing. Yes! If the Song Dynasty wanted to negotiate peace, it was impossible for such a big condition.
After all, Xixia cannot fight, but the Song Dynasty dares.
If the Song Dynasty really had such a plan, they would have to fight in Xixia!
A court official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you... agree to their conditions! We, Xixia, can't fight!"
"We Xixia must not agree to such a condition that insults the country!"
Some people firmly object.
"Okay, don't argue!" Li Ganshun's eyes flashed with sighs: "The Song Dynasty has offered such conditions. We, Xixia, have the only one battle. Who would like to go and kill Yue Fei?"
Li Ganshun glanced around and said, "Only by killing Yue Fei, the Song Dynasty will be able to talk to us!"
When Li Ganshun asked, all the civil and military officials looked at each other, and no one was willing to stand up.
After all, Yue Fei was not a joke. He defeated their Xixia army and was no match for him at all.
At this moment, a spy rushed in outside the hall: "Your Majesty, something is not good!"
"What's the matter?" Li Ganshun.
Spy: "According to the information I just obtained, Yue Fei captured our two cities again. Now he has begun to march towards Mingcheng and has penetrated deep into Xixia!"
"What?" Li Ganshun stood up, trembling all over, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Have you sent someone to communicate with Yue Fei before? We, Xixia, are talking to the Song Dynasty, why is this Yue Fei still attacking us?"
The spy said: "I heard from Your Majesty. According to the information, Yue Fei said that it was our business. Yue Fei led the troops to fight. Without the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, he would continue to fight!"
"Also, they have captured five thousand of our Xixia soldiers and siege the city as cannon fodder, increasing their combat effectiveness, allowing us Xixia soldiers to fight with our own people!"
"Bastard!" Li Ganshun was furious.
"Your Majesty, the situation is tense, please make a decision early! Our Xixia army cannot resist Yue Fei's troops at all!"
"They have 15,000 people now, but they can fight our tens of thousands of troops. If they are given time, the losses of Xixia will be even more serious!"
Some ministers looked pale.
Li Ganshun also realized the seriousness of the matter.
The reinforcements they sent during this period were defeated by Yue Fei.
He continued to capture several cities.
Although the proportion of these territories is not very high compared to Xixia, the power shown by Yue Fei is too strong!
Next, Li Ganshun calculated the calculations and if he wanted to fight, he would have to lose.
He asked about the cost of the army and learned that including the pension, the casualties, the recent military rations and various equipment, the overall loss of three million taels of silver.
This is just the initial expense. It does not count the expenses for the full war with the Song Dynasty later.
The cost of war is amazing. It has just begun. If there is a large-scale war, the treasury will be empty.
Many problems will arise at that time.
Now Li Ganshun's heart was tight. The Song Dynasty was now like a sword hanging over their heads, and it could be solved by spending money. If he had to fight, to be honest, Li Ganshun was not sure. He was a little scared when he heard about the military situation.
He didn't want to say it himself.
I had to look at the court officials. At this moment, the minister who advocated the peace agreement stood up and advised His Majesty to cede the land and compensate the Song Dynasty for the losses, so that the war could be stopped!
After the minister said this, he saw that Li Ganshun did not immediately refute it, and his attitude was much softer than before, so more worries were from the bottom of his heart and quickly stood up to persuade him.
"Your Majesty, Yue Fei has only brought more than 10,000 people to defeat our tens of thousands of troops in Xixia. He heard that the Duke of Zhenguo of the Song Dynasty is even more powerful. If we disagree, he will lead the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty to invade our Xixia. Once the war is defeated, the momentum will be unstoppable. At that time, even if we want to negotiate peace, the Song Dynasty may not agree!"
"They offered such conditions, probably most of them were the idea of eliminating our Xixia. If we agreed at this moment, they might stop the war!"
"Your Majesty, I hope you think twice!"
"Your Majesty, I'm asking for advice. What the admirals said just now is quite reasonable. The Duke of Zhenguo once defeated the Liao cavalry and could still recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. Even such a great country in Liao must submit to the Song Dynasty.
In contrast, we Xixia offended first, and it is true that we have caused some compensation. Now, let’s negotiate peace!”
Many court officials were in panic.
An unknown Yue Fei was able to defeat their generals, and the arrival of Duke Zhenguo in person was even more terrifying.
The Song Dynasty was originally larger than their land, with a wide range of resources and strong soldiers and horses.
Xixia is still worse than that.
Finally, after making some profound thoughts, Li Ganshun had to agree!
Yes!
The Emperor of Xixia humiliatedly agreed!
After making this decision, Emperor Li Ganshun of the Western Xia was dizzy.
He disagreed, and Yue Fei and the others couldn't stand it. If they came to Duke Zhen, Xixia would probably really fall into the national crisis.
After making the decision, Li Gan ordered the ministers to prepare all the materials to be prepared for peacekeeping. Li Gan Shun was really shameless and left with a melancholy expression.
If they had known this, they would not have offended the Song Dynasty.
Why!
When Li Ganshun returned to the palace, he felt a breath of anger in his chest, but he couldn't vent it, so he had to drink a lot of wine.
He was really scared of Da Song!
Who would have thought that Xixia had always invaded the Song Dynasty and could get some benefits, but now he sent troops, but this is the result.
Duke Zhenguo of the Song Dynasty!...Li Ganshun's eyes and thought, if Duke Zhenguo of the Song Dynasty could die, why did they have this in Xixia?
But it is very difficult to kill this Duke Zhenguo!
After all, he was not in the territory of Xixia, but in the Bianjing of the Song Dynasty. He was afraid he was powerless even if he wanted to do so.
Although he was powerless, Li Ganshun's anger must not just let it go!
Li Ganshun immediately summoned his confidant guard commander.
The Song Dynasty couldn't do anything, so he killed the Duke Zhenguo and let out anger: "You go and send a few dead soldiers to sneak into Bianjing and find a way to kill Duke Zhenguo. As long as Duke Zhenguo dies, the Song Dynasty will not be so tough!
If this person is not dead, I can't speak out. Remember to do something beautifully, don't let people know that it was Xixia's actions! Do you understand?"
The guard commander nodded: "Don't worry, your majesty, the dead soldiers trained by Wei are all rigorously trained and have excellent martial arts skills. One can block ten.
As long as you can get into Bianjing, then the Duke of Zhenguo will be able to go to court every day and plan to kill Duke of Zhenguo to vent his anger on behalf of His Majesty. This matter will be left to the minister!"
Li Ganshun nodded: "Looking for a few reliable people can only succeed but not fail. If it fails..."
The guard commander: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The dead men we found were ready to die. If the action failed, they would swallow the poison in their mouths and commit suicide, and they would never see that they would not be able to see.
What's more, I'm just a Duke in the Kingdom, and I've heard of it. I heard that this person has no guards in and out, so it's not difficult to kill him!"
