Liang Shicheng, the eunuch who was serving Zhao Ji, saw the frowning and thinking expressions of Zhao Guanjia.

He immediately winked at Zheng Juzhong, Zongze, Li Gang and others who were sitting around the Eight Immortals table, telling them to say something nice that the officials would like to hear and not to disobey the officials again...

However, when Zheng Juzhong, who had a relatively upright personality, saw Liang Shicheng winking at him, he pretended to lower his head and blow the hot tea in the teacup.

Zongze and Li Gang, who had upright personalities, glared angrily at Liang Shicheng, who was giving them direct glances, and did not even look at Liang Da's eunuch who was once known as the "hidden minister".

At this time, Zhao Guanjia's expression was serious and he was deep in thought, making the hall fall into a moment of silence.

What Zhao Ji thought deeply about was that if the Song Dynasty had waited until the Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom would not only have received land and food from the Liao Kingdom, but what was even more terrifying was that the Jin Army had always liked to surrender and surrender for its own use. At that time, because the Jin army surrendered many Liao troops and added the Xia Kingdom as a new vassal, its power was huge, and it was only a matter of time before the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed.

Historically, in 1125 AD, after the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Kingdom, it found an excuse to send troops south to attack the Song Dynasty...

The following year, in March 1126 AD, Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom who had become attached to the Jin Kingdom, took advantage of the opportunity of the Jin soldiers to attack the Song Dynasty and sent troops to successively capture the castles built by the Song Dynasty on the Xia border...

In accordance with the promise made by the Jin State to the Xia State, Li Qianshun also occupied the Tiande, Yunnei, Wuzhou and Hedong Baguan areas, as well as Zhenwucheng on the border of the Song Dynasty. Xixia sent troops and also captured Xi'an Prefecture and Linzhou in the Song Dynasty. Jianning Village, Huaide's army, took advantage of the victory to conquer Tiandu Village; besieged Lanzhou, looted wantonly and then withdrew their troops...

Soon after, Jin general Wanyan Zongbi sent troops to seize Tiande, Yunnei and other prefectures. Emperor Li Qianshun of the Western Xia Dynasty questioned the Jin State: This land was the land that Jin had promised to give to the Xia State. Why did the Jin army seize it?

Jin Guo ignored Xia Guo's protest at all.

At this time, the Xia State also had no choice but to continue to be the Jin State's little follower.

…

Zhao Ji has been thinking about this. In order to prevent the historical shame of Jingkang from happening to him as a time traveler, he must fight against all opinions and stick to his established grand plan.

At this time, Zhao Ji, who was sitting around the Eight Immortals table with Zheng Juzhong, Zong Ze and other important ministers, raised his head, his eyes were cold and he said seriously:

"All my dear friends say that it is extremely difficult to force Xixia to send troops to aid Liao and fight against Jin!

However, I have to overcome the difficulties!

Go ahead to dangers!

Lasixia's sending troops to fight against the Jin could not only help the Song Dynasty to relieve the Liao Kingdom from being destroyed, but also make Xia and Jin countries hostile. Xixia would not covet the cities on the northwest border of the Song Dynasty for the time being.

Dear sirs, let’s have a cup of tea and discuss how to coerce the Xixia Kingdom to assist the Song Dynasty in sending troops to aid the Liao Dynasty to fight against the Jin Dynasty, and share your good advice!”

Zhao Guanjia's words are tantamount to finalizing the general direction.

Zheng Juzhong, Cao Fu, Zong Ze, Li Gang, Guo Cheng, Zhang Jun and others, although it is very difficult to force the Xixia Kingdom, which likes to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger's head, to resist the Jin Dynasty, the Zhao Guan family has decided on a strategy, and this strategy is also beneficial to the Song Dynasty.

Very beneficial and they won't be able to argue with it.

So, all the ministers came up with suggestions one after another...

Zhao Ji finally made the final decision: "For the Xixia Kingdom, which is facing the Qin Dynasty and the late Chu Dynasty, we must use force to deter and diplomatically win over the Xixia Kingdom, so that we can force it to follow the Song Dynasty and send troops to aid the Liao Dynasty to fight against the Jin Dynasty!"

Zhao Ji told Guo Cheng, who returned to Beijing from the Western Army to report on his duties, saying: "For the purpose of deterrence by force, Guo Aiqing and Han Shizhong led their troops to give a powerful blow to the Xixia Army on the northwest border."

When Guo Aiqing sets out to return to the northwest and leave Beijing, I will give Guo Aiqing some new weapons to his troops, so that the soldiers of the Xixia Party can have a taste of the power of the advanced weapons newly developed by the Song Dynasty, so as to frighten Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom.

Purpose."

Guo Cheng, a veteran general who had just arrived in the capital a few days ago, couldn't understand what Zhao Guanjia meant. Seeing Zhao Guanjia's confident look, he immediately thanked him and said:

"I thank the Lord for your kindness..."

Zhao Ji looked around at the loyal ministers and generals in front of the Eight Immortals table and asked: "Only using force to frighten the Xixia Kingdom cannot fully achieve the goal of forcing it to send troops to assist the Song Dynasty to aid the Liao Dynasty and fight against the Jin Dynasty.

There is a saying in the art of war: 'The superiors attack the enemy, the superior troops attack the enemy, the second attack the enemy, the third attack the troops, and the lower ones attack the city.'

Today, I also want to select a civil servant who is eloquent, brave enough to enter the tiger's den of Xixia, and dares to express his strong relationship with Li Qian, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, by sending troops to assist the Song Dynasty in aiding the Liao Dynasty and fighting against the Jin Dynasty.

I don’t know if you all love me, is there anyone you can recommend to me?
