Han Zhongyan escorted Li Bingchang and returned to the Song Dynasty in a mighty manner.

It was really beyond the expectations of the Song Dynasty. The entire government and the country were in excitement. All the old people said it was different, it was indeed different.

The power of the Great Song Dynasty is really incomparable to the emperor of Xixia.

Everyone felt a light on their faces. Everyone watched with them. It was really interesting to see the little guy tremblingly... Han Zhongyan was a little worried. He didn't expect that the Liang brothers and sisters could really hand over Li Bingchang. A child less than five years old, who was traveling a long distance was indeed full of danger.

There was no way, he could only arrange the best manpower and use the most comfortable carriage. He also prepared a lot of toys and various delicacies in the carriage to comfort the little guy.

In this way, it took almost two months for Li Bingchang to arrive in the Song Dynasty.

In order to express his welcome, the Song Dynasty sent officials of the Ministry of Rites to receive Li Bingchang and settled him in the mansion in the capital. After meeting Zhao Shu, he was given special gifts and entered the Royal Academy to study.

No matter what, Li Bingchang is still a child who doesn't know anything, and there is no need for Da Song to vent his anger... As long as the little guy is obedient, he can give him a prince of Taiping and enjoy wealth. As for Xixia, it's not something he can do.

Wang Ning'an could see that the reason why Liang gave Li Bingchang to the Song Dynasty was actually bullying Dangxiang Wuren... Perhaps they felt that relying on their own abilities, they could control Xixia. After a few years, even if there was no emperor in hand, they could ascend the throne and become emperor on their own and control Xixia.

I have to say that the abacus is very smart.

But Wang Ning'an would not let them go. After forcing Xixia to hand over Li Bingchang, Wang Ning'an sent another envoy to send a list to Xixia.

Li Bingchang's mansion in Beijing arranged for him to study at the Royal Academy, teach him civil and military skills, and allow him to receive the best education in the world... Broaden his horizons and learn the best civilization, which all costs... In a word, in order to make Li Bingchang live a comfortable life, the Xixia side should give up Yuzhou as a way to support the emperor's daily expenses.

This request was made, and Xixia was completely angry.

Even the Liang brother and sister couldn't sit still.

What a joke!

They are willing to bow their heads and be the son emperors and be willing to hand over Li Bingchang. Isn’t they just want to trade face for the inside... to protect the territory of Xixia!

If Youzhou is abandoned, it is equivalent to picking up the East Gate of Xixia, and Xingqing Prefecture is directly exposed to the Iron Cavalry of the Song Dynasty, without any barriers.

Of course, Liang did not agree. Liang Yimian immediately instigated the supervisor Li Chengwei to issue a letter to the Song Dynasty, begging the Song Dynasty to be proud of their actions. Their words were very humble, but their attitude was very firm, and Youzhou could not give in.

"They can no longer be allowed to give in or not!"

Wang Ning'an immediately ordered that he sent three armies, including 50,000 family troops, 30,000 untouched and promoted troops, and 10,000 imperial guards to guard artillery and set sail towards Youzhou.

20 days later, outside the city of Youzhou, 100,000 people from the Song Dynasty gathered. 500 cannons aimed at Youzhou City. With one order, the cannon fire was fired and both jade and stones were burned!

The two sides had a stalemate for three days, and just before the Song Dynasty's ultimatum expired, the gate of Youzhou City slowly opened.

Without bloodshed, the Song army took over Youzhou.

With the fall of Youzhou, the entire Hengshan line, from east to west, fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty... Around Youzhou, there were tens of millions of acres of grassland, and this piece of fat fell into the hands. The Zong family army, which was still making trouble, instantly felt at ease.

These pastures can be distributed to them for settlement purposes.

In fact, the merchants of the Song Dynasty had already taken action.

They took a lot of cash and found soldiers from the Zhong Family Army. As long as they nodded and were willing to rent out the grassland, they would get a considerable reward every year and would enjoy the fruits without any effort.

Of course, they are willing to work harder and raise cattle and sheep themselves, so they will naturally earn more.

In addition to the grassland, there are also rich iron ore, coal mines, and many salt lakes that can produce high-quality green salt... You should know that green salt is a flagship product of Xixia and was once very popular in the Song Dynasty.

Now it all fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty.

With capital participation, all these resources were revitalized. Yuzhou alone and the surrounding land could bring millions of income to the Song Dynasty.

Not to mention using it to support Li Bingchang, even if you give this child a palace of gold, it would be more than enough.

Wang Ning'an's strategy is already very obvious, which is to swallow whales and eat them, and will never give Xixia a chance to breathe.

He occupied Youzhou and developed eastward. Yinzhou, Xiazhou and Shizhou were all among the enlisted and differentiated Wang Ning'an. He actively bribed the local nobles of Dangxiang, and under the banner of Li Bingchang, he forced them to surrender.

If you are stubborn, you will send Wuzang Hongyang to deal with them.

In just a few months, the Jianing Army Division, Xiangyou Army Division, and Zuoxiang Shenyong Army Division of the Western Xia all fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty, and the vanguard of the Song army pushed the Mu Usu Desert.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Mu Us Desert was still a place with abundant water and grass. It was once the core area of ​​the Huns... It was not until the early Tang Dynasty that overgrazing caused land degradation and deserts appeared. Later, the desert became larger and larger, seriously affecting the local development.

Wang Ning'an did not intend to spend a lot of effort to control sand. What he valued most was the location here.

As long as you pass through the Mu Us Desert and head north, you can go straight to Hetao and west, you will be Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Xixia, and to the east, it will be Yunzhou of Liao Kingdom.

Destroying the Western Xia and regaining Yunzhou, these two things have been put on the agenda.

Wang Ning'an felt that he had to speed up his preparations.

He once promised Zhao Zhen that he would not take charge of the Political Affairs Hall for a long time. He only worked for five years at most, and then he would return the power to the Emperor Majesty and hand over the Political Affairs Hall to other people to take responsibility.

This is Wang Ning'an's promise. Almost half of the time has passed. Wang Ning'an also wants to do some big career and put a perfect end to his career as a magistrate.

Therefore, Wang Ning'an instructed the Royal Bank to issue 30 million guan bonds and mobilize all forces to prepare for the battle to destroy Xia... Just as Wang Ning'an was actively preparing, new situations also occurred in Xixia.

The emperor sent it away, and Yuzhou, Yinzhou and Xiazhou were also lost. The land in Xixia was only one-fifth of that of its heyday, and its military strength was only one-third.

The strong troops of the Song Dynasty were approaching the border, not far from the destruction of the country.

But the Liang brothers and sisters in power were still thinking about their own power, constantly appointing private individuals to suppress Dangxiang's nobles, foolish and incompetent, and reached the point where the heavens were angry and the people were resentful!

"Sir, you have to stand up!"

Several old ministers from Xixia couldn't help but find Li Chengwei. They knelt in front of Li Chengwei and cried bitterly.

The regent, however, seemed to have just woken up and barely opened his drunken eyes. He was drunk and said in confusion: "If you have something to do, you can find the prime minister and the queen mother... Gu, Gu Wang doesn't know anything!"

"Master Jianguo! How can we bear the feelings when you say this... Daxia is destroyed and the country is destroyed!"

Li Chengwei was at a loss in fear, "This, where do you start with this... Don't scare me, you, what do you want me to do?"

"The country will be supervised and the Liang family will be defeated immediately and killed the brother and sister who will harm the country and the people!"

"ah!"

Li Chengwei was so scared that his face was pale. In a hurry, he actually knocked over the chair behind him. He also rolled around on the ground, not to mention how embarrassed he was.

"How can this be done, how can it be done!"

Li Chengwei was so scared that he ran back and said, "Don't be offended, don't be offended..."

Several old ministers were ashamed to death. Is this Li Yuanhao's younger brother?

Both brothers, why are there such a big difference?

In a rage, a few old guys wiped their necks at the regent mansion, and blood splattered three feet away, leaving them with their eyes open.

After this incident, Li Chengwei fell ill and then ordered the mansion to be closed and no one was seen again. He also heard that he was crying and wrote a letter to Queen Mother Liang and Liang Yiban, saying that he would not want to be the governor of the country.

Liang Yimeng had to come to comfort him. Li Chengwei cried so hard that he was like dough, and had no backbone at all. At this point, Liang Yimeng was completely relieved.

There is no one in Xixia, and the one that is truly worthy of fear is the Song Dynasty.

Damn Wang Ning'an gave him Li Bingchang and gave up so much land. This guy is still unwilling to accept it. Do you really want to force people to a dead end?

Liang Yi felt that when facing the Song Dynasty, since he could not fight, he had to retreat. If it really didn't work, he gave up Xingqing Mansion. However, there was a prerequisite that all power must be in his hands and could be said to be the same.

Liang Yi decided to abolish the Han rituals completely and restore the old rituals of Dangxiang to win over the nobles of Dangxiang and try to use the foreign transformation to compete with the influence of the Song Dynasty.

In addition, he also stepped up the progress of seizing power, especially military power.

Liang Yi buried his decision to let Liang Yifu take control of the army. Previously, the military power was in the hands of the capital Romawei. This person was equivalent to the Privy Councilor of the Western Xia. He had an affair with Empress Dowager Liang. Later, Empress Dowager Liang fell in love with the younger Wang Menge, and the capital Romawei was left aside... This guy did not show much rebellion, and the Liang family did not take him seriously.

Liang Yimeng just called him and talked to him at the dinner table. Romawei didn't say anything and agreed casually.

But after returning, Roma Tai was completely angry!

Good, you shameless Liang family, you will demolish the bridge after crossing the river. Without my support, can you firmly hold power? You are actually thinking about depriving me of military power. I will never end up with you!

Just when he was furious, someone suddenly reported that the regent was here.

Li Chengwei changed his previous vulgarity and cowardice. He looked serious and grabbed the arm of Du Luo's tail, "General, Xixia has been destroyed... We are all sinners of the country. What are our faces? Go to see the late emperor and Emperor Jingzong!"

The old face of the Roman tail was flushed when he was said, "Mr. Supervisor, I am wrong, I am damned!"

"General, now is not the time to regret it. It's time for us to fight back!" Li Chengwei coughed and said, "I am not young and I am not healthy anymore. In the future, I have to rely on the general!"

The Roman tail was finally moved, "Superior State, Liang Yiming wants to remove my military power, and it is time to fight with them. I will go to mobilize troops now, and I hope the Super State will help me!"

"General, don't worry, it is my duty to help the good and eliminate evil!" Li Chengwei showed a cruel smile.

That night, 5,000 elite troops secretly entered Xingqing Mansion and headed for the residence of the Prime Minister...
Chapter completed!
