Just when Xiang Yan lamented the uncertainty of the world, a few days later, Xiang Yan and Qu Feiyan received news that Nan Murong and Bei Qiao Feng were going to have a martial arts competition to decide who was stronger and who was weaker.

The weak must agree to a condition of the strong.

Xiang Yan and Qu Feiyan were stunned again, and Xiang Yan said anxiously: "Murong Fu is already a general and a consul of Xixia. How can a son of a rich man run out and fight bravely and compete with others when he cannot sit down in court?"

Qu Feiyan said: "I don't know what Murong Fu is thinking, but I think Murong Fu is not that stupid. Let me go and find out first to see what the inside story is." After a while, Qu Feiyan said

Feiyan came back and said, "Murong Fu must have been tricked by someone."

In the past, Dong Zhuo came to Beijing and threatened the emperor to order the princes. As a result, the local officials of the Han Dynasty were dissatisfied and spontaneously organized a coalition to fight against Dong. Today, Murong Fu is worse than Dong Zhuo. After all, Dong Zhuo was a general of the Han Dynasty, with great military exploits and a powerful army under his command.

.Murong Fu was a weakling from the enemy country of Xixia. He managed to control the emperor with the help of a group of rabble. He also wanted to imitate others and hold the emperor hostage to control the princes?

Although Murong Fu had the endorsement and support of Li Qiu Shui, in the entire Xixia, there was no one who supported him, either openly or secretly, or openly opposed him. If this continues, it won't take long for someone to drive him out of Xixia. In addition, Zhang

Seeing the civil strife in Xixia, Zhang Kai kept sharpening his sword and wanted to take the opportunity to invade Xixia. But now Murong Fu definitely does not have the strength to fight off Zhang Kai.

The situation that Murong Fu is facing now is that he will either be driven out of Xixia by the ministers of Xixia, or he will be driven out of Xixia by Zhang Kai. In short, no matter what, Murong Fu's time was wasted.

Murong Fu was unwilling, and after discussing with Wu Yazi, decided to send people to ask for the surrender of the Song Dynasty, intending to use the power of the Song Dynasty to stabilize the situation in Xixia. However, in order to prevent the Song Dynasty from really annexing Xixia, he sent people to the Liao Dynasty.

Lobbyed the Liao Dynasty to prevent the Song Dynasty from annexing Xixia.

The Song Dynasty was very happy after receiving Murong Fu's request to surrender. The Song Dynasty's several northern expeditions to Khitan failed. The main reason was that the land for raising horses in the north was lost. The Song Dynasty did not have high-quality war horses and could not train elite cavalry. Today's Xixia is

The high-quality horse breeding land can make up for the shortcomings after the Song Dynasty annexed Xixia.

But at the same time, Daliao sent people to negotiate with the Song Dynasty. The reason was that according to the provisions of the "Tan Yuan Alliance", neither the Song Dynasty nor the Liao Dynasty stationed heavy troops on the border of the Liao and Song Dynasties, and only retained the power to maintain public security.

To prevent misunderstandings between the two parties.

In the future, the Song Dynasty was unable to pacify Liangshanbo because Liangshanbo was on the border of the Liao and Song Dynasties, and the Song Dynasty could not put its power into Liangshanbo. You said you were here to encircle and suppress Liangshanbo. Do you think the Liao believed it?

Previously, the Song-Xia border was not the Song-Liao border. No matter how the Song Dynasty arranged it, it had nothing to do with the Liao Dynasty. But if the Song Dynasty annexed Xixia, then the Liao-Xia border would become the Song-Liao border. According to the provisions of the "Tan Yuan Alliance", the Song Dynasty

Heavy troops cannot be stationed in Xixia.

In fact, the Song Dynasty also knew that the Liao Dynasty did not want the Song Dynasty to annex Xixia to expand its power, but if the Song Dynasty ignored the negotiations of the Liao Dynasty, it would give the Liao Dynasty an excuse to invade the south. When the time comes, the Khitan will attack the outside and the Xixia will rebel within.

I am afraid that the Song Dynasty may not get a good result. But if the Song Dynasty accepts the negotiations of the Liao Dynasty and only sends a few troops to Xixia, it may not be able to quell the Xixia rebellion.

After some hesitation, the Song Dynasty again thought of the Beggar Gang supported by the court. Under the arrangement of the court, Murong Fu became the new leader of the Beggar Gang. A large number of Beggar Gang disciples poured into Xixia to help Murong Fu stabilize the situation in Xixia.

It was given to Daliao to explain - the Song Dynasty court did not send anyone to Xixia. Those who went to Xixia were all civilians and had nothing to do with the court. The court later sent other martial arts people to Xixia to help Murong Fu. The so-called "

"Xia uses force to break the ban." Anyway, these people staying in the Song Dynasty are also unstable factors. It is better to use them as waste and go to Xixia to shine.

Therefore, Murong Fu's men were all martial arts people. Martial arts people are inevitably impulsive. I don't know who drank a few too many drinks, and because he was drunk, he suggested that everyone work together to regain the Sixteen Youyun Provinces for the Song Dynasty. So the crowd was furious, and Murong Fu also

Unable to stop it, he had to lead his men to move to the Liao-Xia border and confront the Liao army led by Qiao Feng.

After Qiao Feng resigned as the leader of the Beggar Gang, he arrived in the Liao Kingdom. By chance, he assisted the Liao Emperor in quelling the rebellion of the Chu King. He was named the King of Chu in Liao Dynasty and the president of the South Academy. After Murong Fu asked for surrender to the Song Dynasty, the Liao Emperor

Worried that the Song Dynasty's annexation of Xixia would be detrimental to the Liao Dynasty, he wanted to preemptively attack the Song Dynasty. Qiao Feng was unwilling to invade the south, but he heard that Murong Fu of the Xixia Dynasty would take the initiative to attack the Liao Dynasty, so he led his troops to the Liao-Xia border to make preparations.

After the encounter between the Liao and Xia armies, Qiao Feng asked Murong Fu for a martial arts contest to determine who was stronger or weaker between Murong and Qiao Feng in the south and north. Murong Fu wanted to be the emperor and was not interested in who was stronger or weaker than Qiao Feng, but Murong Fu's

All his subordinates were interested in this idea. Murong Fu had no choice but to agree to the agreement with Qiao Feng.

Xiang Yan sighed and said: "Why did this group of people think of provoking the Khitan? Is this the time to provoke the Khitan?" Qu Feiyan guessed: "Someone must be plotting against Murong Fu and deliberately poaching Murong Fu.

Come on!" Xiang Yan suddenly remembered something and asked Qu Feiyan: "By the way, didn't you say that Murong Fu did a great job in controlling Tong Lao of Xixia? Why haven't I seen Tong Lao in the past few days?" Qu Feiyan said.
