Chapter 73 Chapter Fourteen Longxing Peace Negotiation

After getting rid of the Jin army, Li Xianzhong originally planned to return to the motherland.But only then did he discover that Shaanxi, where he was located, had been completely occupied by the state of Jin, and the Jin army was heavily guarded, so he could not reach the Song state at all.So, what should Li Xianzhong, who has nowhere to go at this time, do?Will he be able to return to his homeland? In desperation, Li Xianzhong defected to Xixia.I would rather defect to Xixia than surrender gold. After defecting to Xixia, I will take revenge with Xia soldiers and fight against the people of Jin.Li Xianzhong felt a bit like Wu Zixu.When Li Xianzhong arrived in Xixia, he asked to see Lord Xia.Of course he couldn't tell Lord Xia, you lend me your soldiers, I'll use your soldiers to fight for gold, and I'll surrender to Song Dynasty after the gold is won, but that person, Lord Xia, is crazy and lends you soldiers.What did he say to Lord Xia?The war between the Jin and Song Dynasties was an opportunity for the fisherman of the Xia Kingdom to benefit. If you can lend me 200,000 soldiers, I will flatten all the five roads in Shaanxi for you, and let Shaanxi belong to the territory of the Xia Kingdom.When Lord Xia heard it, didn't a big pie fall from the sky and hit me?That's great, but are you really that capable?You have nowhere to go to join me, how can you help me take back Shaanxi Fifth Road?

Lord Xia wants to test Li Xianzhong and let him show his abilities.Lord Xia told him that there is a powerful chieftain in our country, nicknamed Qingmian Yasha, and our country has nothing to do with him. If you can help me put down this Qingmian Yasha, I will lend you 200,000 soldiers.When Li Xianzhong heard it, did he really mean it?No problem, I'll do it.Li Xianzhong led 3,000 cavalry soldiers, took the old battalion of Qingmian Yasha overnight, beheaded Qingmian Yasha, and dedicated his head to Lord Xia.Lord Xia saw that Li Xianzhong was really capable, so he lent Li Xianzhong an army of 200,000 troops. Shaanxi, as expected, has fought and won victories, almost occupying all of Shaanxi.

After occupying Shaanxi, Li Xianzhong said to the two generals of the Xia Army, I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you the truth at that time. I occupied Shaanxi to serve my motherland. I fought a battle, the task is completed, you two can go back.These two people are stupid, how can they do this?We dispatched 200,000 troops, killed and wounded so many brothers, and spent so much money. Isn’t that what you said when you came to our country?You surrendered to our Daxia, so we sent troops to fight this place, and after the fight, this place will belong to our Daxia.What do you call this? I sent troops to occupy the land, and you want to give this land to the Song Dynasty?We absolutely cannot agree to this, otherwise we will not be able to return to the king after we go back.When Li Xianzhong saw that the two of them were not in line, he said that I would think about it, and the two of you should also think about it.Li Xianzhong left at that time and came out overnight with 800 cavalrymen, all of whom were relatives and old friends, to raid the old camp of the Xia Army and capture the two commanders of the Xia Army.Do you agree to give the Shaanxi Fifth Road to the Song Dynasty?If you don't agree, you two won't be able to see the king.The two had no choice but to agree.

Li Xianzhong sent someone to contact Wu Jie, the general of the Song Dynasty, but the timing was wrong. The first peace agreement between Song and Jin had been reached. Wu Jie told Li Xianzhong that you cannot bring the territory to the Song Dynasty, as this would cause disputes between the two countries.Since you want to return to the motherland, you can just come back, and there is no need to offend Xixia again.In this way, Li Xianzhong led his troops back into the Song Dynasty.According to historical records: "Ju Fuzhi said: 'Loyalty returns to the court, but the king is the first.'" ("Song History Li Xianzhong Biography") You are loyal and courageous, and you are really the first person in my dynasty.After falling behind the enemy for so long, he was able to return to the motherland not far away.Emperor Gaozong was overjoyed after getting Li Xianzhong, so he named him Xianzhong, and no one called him by his original name anymore.
