Chapter 1024 Clouds Move in All directions (1)

Le Chan gently climbed onto Zhao Dongting's shoulder with both hands, kneaded him, and sighed softly, "I'm worried that more soldiers will be damaged..."

Zhao Dongting was speechless.

There is no one who can't die in war. The changes of dynasties in previous dynasties, even if they are limited to the struggle for power in the palace, did they not have any corpses?

What's more, this is the whole world, with several dynasties fighting each other.

Don’t say that Zhao Dongting was just a small business boss before he traveled over. No matter how powerful a person is, he would not be able to easily get the whole world, right?

"It's soon...it's soon..."

Zhao Dongting murmured in his heart.

He could continue the road to conquest just when the Song Dynasty's treasury was full and enough to support the army to fight.

Zhongxing Prefecture, the capital of Xixia.

It is also covered with snow and is boundless.

The original yellow land was covered with snow and no longer seemed so deserted.

In terms of environment, the Western Xia was much more barren than the Dali, Song and Yuan dynasties. The national strength was also the weakest.

However, this Empress Ren was extraordinary. After ascending the throne, she even implemented new policies with iron fist. She not only quickly took over the power of the country, but also gathered the hearts of the people of Xixia. The entire Xixia seemed to have the grief and anger of the death of the previous emperor in battle. The people's customs were much more fierce than before.

At this moment, Empress Lee Soo-sook was wearing a dragon robe and was sitting in the palace hall.

Her face is beautiful and she will never see her originally weak appearance again. At this moment, there is only endless majesty on her face.

This kind of majesty even made He Liandong, Tuoba Xiong and others in the hall dare not look at her.

Li Xiushu held the letter in her hand, and was silent for a long time. Finally, she looked at the ministers in the hall and spoke lightly, "Duan Xingzhi is dead. His son Duan Qilin rushed to Dali from Shuzhong. He should be about to ascend the throne and become emperor soon. What do you think about this?"

All the ministers in the palace were from Xixia, so they were naturally clear-minded.

The relationship between Shuzhong and Dali is ambiguous, which is something that the whole world knows.

Someone immediately thought of something from Li Xiushu's words and said, "Emperor, Duan Qilin entered Dali from Shu, can he... be the person behind the scenes in Shu?"

“Is that more than that?”

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Li Xiushu's eyes.

This minister was smart and could have made a conclusion, but he had to open his mouth to ask. Could it be that the rest of the people present were fools?

Who would have thought of this?

The minister who had just spoken down his head.

If Duan Qilin hadn't been the master behind Shuzhong, Dali would not have had such a close relationship with Shuzhong.

Moreover, it was not a secret between the courts of various countries that Qin Han established the imperial guards for Duan Xingzhi in Dali.

If Duan Qilin was not the lord of Shu, would Duan Xingzhi trust Qin Han so much?

"well……"

At this time, the imperial teacher Zhongsun Qifu, who had an unparalleled status in the Western Xia Dynasty, sighed softly, "In this way, I am afraid that Dali will truly be integrated into one in Shu..."

There was an unconcealed worry on his face.

Originally, the Western Xia was the weakest among the countries, and even weaker than Dali. Now if Dali merged in Shu, they would be far away.

Although we all knew that Dali was a family in Shu before, the people didn’t know it! On the contrary, Xixia could still be compared with Dali.

It's hard now.

As long as Shuzhong is included in the Dali territory, Xixia will really become a little sheep among the four countries. This will make the morale of the military and people in the country very motivated.

On the dragon throne, Li Xiushu's face was also a little ugly.

Although she has skills, she is a human, not a god. The land of Xixia is not vast and the soil is poor. No matter how many new policies she has, it is difficult for her to catch up with the national strength of other countries in a short time.

It may take decades for Xixia to escape the title of "the weakest country".

And can Xixia still hold on for decades?

Li Xiushu's eyes slowly swept across everyone again and asked again: "I ask you if there is any good idea for this matter!"

Most people in the hall lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Li Xiushu.

What can they do?

Li Xiushu was angry, but helpless. Duan Qilin really wanted to merge with Shu and Dali, and they had no way to stop him.

The hall fell into deep silence for a moment.

Finally, it was Zhongsun Qifu's nephew, Zhongsun Zhouting, who is currently the general of the Yiwei Department, who spoke, "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that if Duan Qilin integrates the power of Dali in Shu, our dynasty can only continue to support it if our dynasty deepens its alliance with the Song Dynasty."

He hesitated to say this. Because Li Xiushu has always been strong, and with her temperament, she may not be willing to continue to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty.

Because to put it nicely, it is an alliance, but to put it badly, it is the Western Xia that depend on the Song Dynasty.

Where does Xixia have the strength to truly form an alliance with the Song Dynasty now?

But in the hall, someone looked up and looked at Li Xiushu and left.

The identity of Zhongsun Zhouting’s General of the Guards is inconspicuous among the ministers in this hall, but his words are not a way out.

If the weak is strong, he will help him. In the past, which small country did not do this?

Especially during the Warring States Period, this technique of unity, vertical and horizontal connection was fully demonstrated by the talents of that era.

On the dragon throne, Li Xiushu's pretty face changed slightly, and she looked at Zhongsun Zhouting, but she hadn't spoken for a long time.

Of course, she wanted to rely on her own abilities to develop Xixia, and eventually avenge her brother and win the world. But at this time, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Everyone knows that she is the iron-blooded empress with a hard wrist, but who knows that she tossed and turned on for many nights and couldn't fall asleep?

Finally, Li Xiushu said: "I will come to Changsha in person to meet with the Emperor of Song."

As he said that, he looked at Zhongsun Qifu, "Teacher, you send a message to Zhongsun Guge, let him mention this matter to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty first!"

"yes."

Zhongsun Qifu bowed to accept the order.

Everyone in the hall had different expressions on their faces, but most of them had helpless expressions.

Of course, not all of them were willing to surrender to Li Xiushu, but if Xixia died, they would not have any idea of ​​falling in love with each other.

At this time, most people still feel quietly regretful.

It’s not that the Western Xia was too weak, but that the Song Dynasty, Dali and Yuan Dynasty were too strong.

The Song Dynasty was invincible, the Yuan Dynasty had a vast territory and a profound power. Even Dali, after integrating into Shu, would inevitably have the capital to compete for the world.

And they are Xixia, and they have just recovered their country. What is there?

The Zhongdu of the Yuan Dynasty was Daxing Prefecture.

This majestic city faces north and south, and still overlooks the entire Jiangnan land. It is like the millions of cavalry of the Yuan army in the past, with a brilliant ambition.

In terms of foundation, the world is still the strongest in the Yuan Dynasty. This Yangyang Empire, which stretches into Europe, is indeed not something that the Song Kingdom can catch up with in a short period of time.
