Chapter 76 Chapter Fifteen

The Mongolian army plundered Xixia for a year, which not only caused a huge blow to Xixia's economic development, but more importantly, this aggression directly caused Xixia to have another enemy, which made Xixia fall into the trap of being attacked by the enemy. dilemma.So, what is going on here? When the Mongols were plundering in Xixia, Xiangzong Li Anan asked Jin for help. You are my suzerain. Now the Mongols beat me, you have to help me!Unfortunately, at this time, the reigning monarch of the Kingdom of Jin is not the talented and bold Sejong, but the fatuous Wei Shao Wang Wanyan Yongji.Wanyan Yongji laughed when he saw that Mongolia was fighting with Xixia, and the enemy attacked each other, which is the blessing of our country.You two go to fight!Jin Guo refused to send troops to help Xixia.As soon as the Mongolian soldiers retreated, Li An'an immediately raised troops to attack the Kingdom of Jin.The two countries have not fought each other for more than 80 years, and this time Li An'an was really angry.Jin Guo's short-sightedness created another enemy for himself.However, Li Anan ignored the security of his own country even more by doing so. At this time, he should ignore the past and join forces with Jin.Of course, it is impossible for Xixia to attack the Kingdom of Jin for cheap. The Kingdom of Jin is weaker than Mongolia, but stronger than Xixia, and the Xixia army returned without success.In the new year, Li An'an was killed.The clan of Xixia——Qi Wang Li Zunxu killed Li Ping'an to stand on his own, and Li Zunxu was Xia Shenzong.The change of throne in the last period of Xixia, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.

After Emperor Shenzong succeeded to the throne, Jin Guo may also feel that it was inappropriate not to send troops to assist Xixia last time, so he immediately canonized him as the Lord of Xia and admitted his coup plot.Ordinarily, he was a minister who abolished the Lord and became self-reliant and usurped, but the Kingdom of Jin didn't care about it, and immediately canonized him.However, Shenzong was ambitious, and he must take revenge, so he continued to send troops to attack the Kingdom of Jin after succeeding to the throne. In fact, before Li Zunxu became emperor, Genghis Khan's army had already ravaged Xixia enough.Xixia's important towns at the Helan Mountain Pass were all broken through, and Xixia almost exposed its weak body in front of the Mongols.When Helan Mountain was lost, the Mongol army went straight to Zhongxing Mansion (the original Xingqing Mansion), the capital of Xixia. At that time, the Emperor of Xixia was still Li Anan. He personally went to the city to supervise the battle and commanded the soldiers to defend day and night.Seeing that they could not get in, the Mongolian army broke through the river and replaced them with water.Zhongxing Mansion has been soaked for half a year, and the city walls have been soaked.Fortunately, at this time, because of the heavy rain, the flood flooded back into the Mongolian camp, and Genghis Khan retreated.This was the third time Genghis Khan attacked Xixia before Li Zunxu became emperor.

Li Zunxu can’t see the lessons learned from the past. Li An’an was beaten twice by the Mongols. He should change his security strategy, but he still plays the lantern with his nephew—according to his uncle (old), and then he fought against Jin Guo to face a strong enemy. , Find the weak to vent their anger.But even if Xixia was at war with the Kingdom of Jin, it was not an opponent of the Kingdom of Jin.Li Zunxu sent troops several times to help Mongolia attack the Kingdom of Jin.In the beginning, the Xixia army cooperated with the Mongolian soldiers and conquered the important town of the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop. In the next year, he sent another 30,000 troops to cooperate with the Mongolian soldiers to storm the Jin Kingdom's territory in today's Shanxi, but this time he was defeated by the Jin Kingdom.The enmity between Jinxia and Xia became deeper and deeper.
