Chapter 867 Ouyang Xiu's Backbone, the Backbone of the Song Dynasty
"Brother, the Emperor of Song Dynasty has even written a letter, what should we do? Although Li Yuanhao's death made me no collector, it left a bunch of messes for us to clean up. Now the state dynasty has just wiped out the Yeli clan. How can we resist the Song Dynasty without a certainty?"
The inner hall, which originally had only the footsteps of Wuzang Epang, broke the tranquility by the sound of Wuzang's family. Wuzang Epang stopped his footsteps and said, "What else can I do? If I want to continue our clan of the Party Xiang tribe can only compete with the Song Dynasty, there is no other way. You have not seen the letter of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. It is nothing to pay tribute. But once the inner embrace is moved, the entire Dang Xiang will be the one who serves as a knife and I will be the fish. If I were the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, I would kill all the nobles of Dang Xiang!"
Mozang trembled slightly, looked at the edict in Mozang Epang's hand and frowned and asked, "It's not possible to surrender, nor to fight, so what should we do?"
"Who said we can't fight? Our party Xiang not only wants to fight against the Song Dynasty, but also wants to hurt the Song Dynasty. Even if we want to surrender to the Song Dynasty, we must let the Song Dynasty know the strength of our party Xiang, so that we can have room for maneuver!"
There is also such a saying? It seems that the truth is that after a moment of thinking about it, but she didn't know that the brother she trusted did not intend to surrender to the Song Dynasty, and she didn't even have such an idea. In her opinion, Xixia was the Dabai Gaoguo, who was a Dangxiang native, could he surrender to the Song Dynasty? How could the Dangxiang clan disappear?
He knew better than any Dangxiang person what would become after being attached. The Western Xia border people who moved to the Song Dynasty began to shave the customs in just half a year and gradually moved closer to the Song people. They spoke the Chinese language, used the Chinese characters, and cultivated the Han land. They were simply authentic Han people. Even their surnames were classified as sinicized. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty did not hesitate to give the surname to gather the connections!
Once the entire Dangxiang surrendered and attached to the inner rank, it was also the same as the result, which was gradually assimilated by the culture of the Central Plains dynasty. For thousands of years, assimilating foreign races has always been the best thing for Central Plains civilization. At this point, no Epang would never compromise. Once he compromised, Dangxiang, a country that was once glorious and competing with the Song and Liao dynasties, would be completely over.
Whether it is the end now, it is even more forever, because by time all that is left is the records about the Western Xia and the legend of the Dangxiang people. All the Dangxiang people will become Han people and become obedient people of the Central Plains dynasty.
This is also the reason why Wuzang Epang must fight against the Song Dynasty. Maintaining the independence of the Dangxiang nation is more important than anything else. In order for the Dangxiang people to surrender to the Song Dynasty, they can pay tribute, but they must not be attached to the inner circle. Once this happens, the Dangxiang will be really over. Therefore, Wuzang Epang decided to continue fighting against the Song Dynasty and fight a beautiful victory so that the Song people can see the value of the Dangxiang people.
But he forgot that in this way, the Central Plains dynasty's system known for its stability will definitely exclude them. This is the contradiction between the two civilizations, which cannot be integrated and cannot exist independently, and can only move towards assimilation. While one side wins, it also means the destruction of the other side.
Mozang Epang walked straight out of the hall, and Mozang asked hurriedly: "Does your brother have a decisive plan?"
"We have to fight! We still have eight hundred miles of vast seas, and we have the great Helan Mountain. As long as there are Dangxiang people, we will continue to fight. Until the Song people find that our Xixia stones are hard and hard, and the time spent on our Xixia is not worth it, we can only pay tribute and not move in and out of the inner support!"
Looking at her brother's decisive words, Mozang did not speak to keep her. At this time, she was shocked by the cruel war. After Mozang Epang left, she slowly sat down and muttered to herself: "How many more people will die..."
Empress Dowager Xuanmu Huiwen was named Wu Zang, and Wu Zang Epang Yinuo transferred three generals including Chongdu to the army and ordered them to be in charge of state affairs; he was the prime minister of the country and took charge of the government. These were the most powerful brothers and sisters in the Western Xia, but they were a little uneasy when facing Ouyang Xiu, the envoy of the Song Dynasty.
Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they did not really summon him. Although Ouyang Xiu was bold and elegant, he was as careful as he observed the subtleties very carefully. From Wuzang Epang's negative expression, he felt that he should take out the official manifesto...
The atmosphere in the hall was very solemn. Mozang Epang stared at Ouyang Xiu's eyes and looked at each other directly. This was a very unfriendly signal and a sign of rudeness in the Central Plains Dynasty. However, in the Xixia showdown that tests a person's perseverance, Ouyang Xiu didn't know the intention, but he was unwilling to show weakness. Of course, he looked at Mozang Epang and said, "Is there something outstanding on my face? Why does the prime minister look at me like this?"
Mozang Epang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that there were such a determined person in the Song Dynasty. Someone looked at the tiger and returned it to his death. The messenger was really a warrior!"
Ouyang Xiu laughed and said, "The Prime Minister is a mistake. Ouyang Xiu is not a powerful soldier. He is a soldier under the jurisdiction of General Di. He can conquer and fight well and will win the enemy. He is not talented and cannot be right." After saying that, he said, "The Prime Minister should have seen the perseverance of our great Song army. How can a mere tiger compare to?"
Mozang Epang was speechless when Ouyang Xiu said, and could only smile silently. The man who went upstairs coughed lightly behind the pearl curtain: "Your Majesty is not in good health, so there is a curtain in the palace. The Song envoy's letter of the country has been read by the palace, and I have agreed to pay tribute, but..." Mozang looked at his brother, and then continued to say, "You must not move internally!"
Ouyang Xiu smiled. This was what he had expected to take over. The Xixia people could pay tribute. These nominal losses and some money were just some details. For the Xixia people, fighting for time was the ultimate goal.
He secretly lamented that the official family had a vision! It was a perfect strategy. Once the people of Xixia did not agree, they would use swords and weapons to face each other, and then the intention of Xixia was to be unofficial!
Ouyang Xiu shouted: "This is what you, the people of Xixia, are not my Great Song Dynasty advised to surrender! Now he has gone back on his word, and he is a villain!"
But what he didn't expect was that Wu Zang Epang was not angry, but said with a smile: "Although I, Xixia, begging for peace and willing to pay tribute, Yongxiu and the two countries had no choice but to move inward and support! Isn't all this proposed by you, the Song Dynasty? Why do I say that Xixia has gone back on my word?"
This is playing a word game with yourself. Ouyang Xiu said righteously: "Since ancient times, begging for peace has no right to bargain. Only the Song Dynasty asked you to do something. How can you list the prefaces in Xixia? Besides, if you beg for peace and comply with others, how can you express your will? After several generations of time, I know the temperament of the Western Xia in Xixia very well. If you intend to resist the Song Dynasty one day, it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty to change the name of the country, which is like eating and drinking water for you in Xixia!"
