The Western Xia Kingdom, with the reputation of plugging the south of the Yangtze River, is suitable for farming and pasture, and is undoubtedly the most attractive treasure land in the barren northwest. Now, the Xixia Xiaoba, who was once fierce and powerful, and even the Liao State, which was as strong and domineering as the former Polar Bear Country, did not dare to provoke easily, and the brave and barbaric party top people did not exist anymore.

This pit was specially dug by Zhao Yue, but who fell into the pit can't blame Zhao Yue.

It was all of their own volition, and he was to blame for his own inability to restrain his greed.......

Countless examples have long shown that the white mountain of gold often means not luck, but on the contrary, don't be self-righteous and happy too early.

But whenever the temptation is big enough, it will always trigger the courage to jump into the pit one after another.

In later generations, all kinds of financial trick fraud cases can always be easily handled, and this is how it came about, and it is not only ordinary people who automatically and actively jump into the pit, but also the government.......

Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, in history and the Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji of the Southern Dynasty struggled to compare who was more absurd and bastard when he was the emperor, and who was more capable of death.

But he is not the first to take the initiative to jump into the pit.

There are those who act earlier than him, who are ecstatic and more active.

First of all, he was lucky enough to avoid some of the large and small tribes that the pirate northern army plundered along the way during its westward expedition.

These miscellaneous beards were forced by the powerful Khitans to leave the Mongolian steppe with rich pastures and nomadic herding in the bitter cold and barren land further northwest. What a fluke...... But in the blink of an eye, he was even more fortunate and suddenly saw the opportunity, and hurriedly led the tribe to run to seize the vacated Western Xia homeland...... One is to go south and east to get over the terrible northwest winter that will soon come.

The harsh winter of the Great Northwest Desert is terrible, and whoever has experienced it will be afraid.

Even if the old men of the Zahu tribe have thick and huge tents to live in, they have luxurious and warm furs...... And don't have to work in the cold winter and heat, but also afraid of the ferocity of nature, every winter will always be unable to survive the cold and inconvenience and die some, that is really to survive the winter, can survive is a big fate, can not survive only blame their own fate...... However, the Western Xia Kingdom was completely gone, and there were too many ownerless cities, houses, pastures, and pastures to live in and survive the winter - the Western Xia Kingdom was a half-farming and half-pastoral country, and many places had fixed villages and towns like the Han people. How can this not rush to seize the comfortable anti-white devil for the winter?

Second, it is natural to occupy more fertile land and better pastures to lay a better and more convenient foundation for the tribe to thrive.

They don't want to be so weak and miserable all the time, under the long-term oppression and disguised slaughter of the Khitan Liao State, they are also desperate to become strong and become the masters of the country, like the Khitans to become the overlord of the grassland. And the first premise of all this dream is population. Only those who can reproduce and survive can have the strength to conquer......

They also have the convenience of the most advantageous ground in the first place to move to the distance.

As for whether the Khitans will also move in and take the opportunity to occupy this ownerless treasure land, it seems that there is no need to worry too much.

The Liao State now has to fight against the suddenly rising incredible power of the Magical Jurchen, and to the south, it also has to guard against the Song State, which is also a great power, and all its strength is tightly embraced to defend the grain producing area Yanyun and the grazing Mongolian steppe...... I'm afraid that my strength is not strong enough, how can I dare to divide my strength and occupy the homeland of Western Xia to make myself weaker and inconvenient to use troops......

Due to the limitations of long distances and the primitive backwardness of communication information in this era, they still do not know how tragic the losses of the pirates suffered by the Liao State and the Song State this time, and they do not know that the Liao State is already so poor that there are almost no cattle, sheep and horses, and they are in a hurry to go crazy, and they desperately need to plunder the Zahu in the west to replenish it..... Otherwise, how can you maintain a nomadic life......

This time, the Liao State really encountered the danger of destroying the country and extinction.

The pirates mercifully gave a lot of rice to the Liao country as food, there is no livestock to eat, and they will not die of hunger in a short time, not to mention that the land of Yanyun itself also produces grain, as the pirates continue to rob the Han people of the Liao country for many years, there is no farming, forcing the Khitan people to have too many people who can farm now, the Liao country is not nomadic and can not survive completely, but the land must first have enough grain, rice is delicious, but it is not a crop that can be planted in the Liao country, it is gone when it is eaten up, and it is not enough to rely on the grain harvested in the land of Yanyun to make seeds, This is also thanks to the corn and potatoes brought by the Cangzhao family to the East, which are high-yield, good-grown, and suitable crops for Liao.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Liao State sent envoys to force the Song State to compensate the terrible people to death for the amount of grain that was frightening to death as a punishment for breach of contract.

They need food to supplement their food rations and, more importantly, to grow food. This can only be done from the Song Kingdom.

The Bohai people of Liaodong are a multi-ethnic mixed breed and an expert in farming, originally a slave group of the Liao State, farming and grazing metallurgy for the Khitans....... Unfortunately, it also rebelled and became independent, and the Liao State lost a large area of land suitable for cultivation and slaves in Liaodong, and the grain that had in the Bohai Sea must have been extorted by the Jin State at this juncture, and the Jin State was now as difficult as the Liao State in terms of livestock and food. Even if you go to rob the Bohai Sea, there is nothing to grab, and if you kill all the Bohai Sea and rob the poor eggs, it will be far from meeting the needs of the Liao State.

Besides, the Liao State was really exhausted and couldn't fight, and it was not capable of provoking the Bohai people at all. The population of the small country in the Bohai Sea is not small, and in order to protect the only remaining food and life, it must be desperate, and there is also the support of the Jurchens who hate the Liao State and want to take revenge......

Of course, the Liao State extorted a huge amount of grain from the Song State, and also extorted a large amount of territory, which is the inevitable greed and robbery of the robbers' habits.

Moreover, they will be able to scare the cowardly and accustomed rulers of the Song Kingdom, and they will honestly bow their heads and agree.

And the feeling of the Northwest Zahu, who preemptively moved to the homeland of Western Xia, is, taking a step back, even if the Khitans come, they don't have to be too afraid, right?

These Zahu tribes were originally subordinates of the Liao State, and they did not betray the Liao State, at least not openly betrayed at the moment, so they hid far away and hoped that the Khitans and Jurchens would fight to the death and lose both, and their opportunity would come, how to say that they were also the people of the Liao State, not enemies, and the Liao army would not clean them up as enemies.

It's a big deal to retreat and give up a good place to the Khitans as before, and the Western Xia Kingdom is small, but the actual territory is also very large, and there will always be a place for their tribes to settle down in such a large blank land.......

As the saying goes, the building near the water gets the moon first.

What they didn't expect was that the Khitans would really come to kill and rob, and the first to come was the Uighur Khanate, which their weak Zahu tribes also feared, the Xizhou Uighurs, also known as Xizhou Qiuzi in history.

The second one who took the initiative to jump into the pit was the king of Guizi.

The Uighurs paid tribute to the Liao State, but there was a territorial dispute with the Western Xia, and the Dangxiang people forcibly occupied the traditional territory of the Uighurs, the Hexi Corridor, killing too many Uighurs and robbing too much Uighur property, and this enmity was great, so the more ignorant and backward Uighurs regarded the Western Xia as a mortal enemy, but now suddenly this mortal enemy who always hated him for not dying suddenly finally died, and it was completely gone, so how could the Uighurs not be ecstatic?

How can the treasure land of the Hexi Corridor, which has become an ownerless blank, not be in a hurry to take it back and regain it?

So the king of Guizi hurriedly started in excitement.

He and his nobles saw that the pirates were going to sweep away all the population and wealth of the Western Xia Kingdom, and they would not stay and occupy this, and in the ecstasy, all parties actively took the initiative to put together an elite army, 10,000 people, all cavalry, equipped with the best war horses that the country could have, and it was one man and two horses, with enough food and equipment needed on the road, led by the most capable and trusted general of the King of Qiuzi, and followed the pirate army that was quickly washing the ground step by step, and the road was safe and sound. The pirate army, who was busy looting and going east, did not notice that they were following, and they further determined that the pirates would not occupy this place, and sent the message back, King Qiuzi and his nobles were completely relieved, and they were even more ecstatic, and immediately led the tribe to move eastward, preparing to seize the most abundant homeland treasure land in the Hexi Corridor. The magnificent Xixia Imperial Palace naturally has to be occupied and enjoyed, and as a happy new master in the sacred place of the lord of the Xixia Kingdom, the mortal enemy, it is impossible to relieve hatred and fully appreciate the pleasure.......

The 10,000 Uighur cavalry who were watching had been following all the way to the eastern part of the Tangut Kingdom, and they were finally completely relieved to see that the pirates were about to leave the territory of the Tangut Kingdom.

On this day, they sneaked into a valley and settled, on the one hand, they could not follow too closely, to avoid the sight of the pirates, but not to let the pirates discover them at the last moment, and on the other hand, they naturally used this valley to shelter from the increasingly cold northwest storm, so that they could spend a night in this beautiful place, rest safely and securely, and then wait to receive the fruitful fruits left by the pirates. It turned out to be an accident......

Just as they began to camp leisurely, there were ambushes all around the valley, and I don't know how many terrible pirates they were already familiar with appeared in the field of vision, countless bows and crossbows condescendingly aimed at them, and it was the Western Xia army that the Uighurs feared the most, and I don't know how many of them had a very long range, and what was even more terrifying was that the pirates firmly blocked their way to flee on horseback. Mysterious pirates have devilish sorcery, Uighurs will have terrible explosions if they want to rush out of the valley, grenades, explosives made of primitive black powder that can still frighten individuals to death, earth-shattering explosions, black smoke of flames that have blown up into the sky, thick trees that have blown down and blown up into the sky, and terrible mud and stones that can smash rocks into a hole like raindrops...... Not to mention that the ignorant Uighur savages were so frightened that they did not dare to rush over, even the 20,000 well-trained and fine war horses were wild, and they were frightened and galloped wildly, and they did not dare to approach the exit of the valley.

Poor man, horses were all in a mess in the reverberations of the deafening explosions in the valley......

After being shot to death, but no matter how brave they were, they had no choice but to think about the impact on their opponents on the hills, whose bow power could not reach them at all, the Uighur generals despaired, gave up the breakthrough, but were also loyal and brave, and wanted to commit suicide, but unexpectedly heard the pirates tell them in the skillful Uighur dialect: surrender or kill. And promise not to sweep them as captives to go to the pirate country, and promise to cooperate honestly and let them leave safely and freely...... Then there was nothing to hesitate about, so they were all caught.

The population and other strength of the Hui Sacr Kingdom are not worse than those of the party members, but they just can't beat the party members, and they have been bullied to death by the Western Xia Kingdom. At this time, in the face of the more terrifying pirates who didn't know how to deal with it, they were naturally so docile and obedient.

The pirates kept their word.

While the 10,000 Uighur elite were in a state of panic and uneasiness awaiting the verdict of fate, the pirates did not kill any more, but took away all their horses, Tiedo's weapons and furs, and did not ask for their tents, bows, arrows, guns, and other things, and deliberately left some food, and soon departed, leaving a valley of Uighur warriors to be dissolved in the cold wind with palpitations and rejoicing.......

The king of Qiuzi and the nobles who came later led their troops all the way to happily rob the Zahu tribes that they met along the way, and slaughtered these delusional Zahu tribes, gold, silver, livestock, and women....... The harvest is really not small, I was surprised to see the embarrassment of 10,000 warriors in front of me, but then I was relieved and even rejoiced, the loss of war horses and weapons was too heart-wrenching, it was the best in my country....... But in comparison, the 10,000 most elite warriors can be saved, which is very good, and they did not give up continuing to advance eastward to occupy the territory of Western Xia. Because it has been confirmed that the pirate is really gone, completely gone, and there will be no more danger.......

Easy to move in and occupy the capital of the Western Xia, the Uighur lords lived in the mansions of the Western Xia kings and bureaucrats, no longer have to worry about the harsh winter, and there are too many other benefits, the original worry of the Great Song Dynasty Western Army turned out to be called the pirates abolished, the only one, the strong enemy in the east is gone, this can be completely relieved, all happy.......

The Uighurs were also overjoyed......

But this kind of pie-in-the-sky good day didn't go for a few days, and the people of Liao actually wanted to move in a big way and suddenly called.

At this time, the Liao army was already exhausted in the long process of conquering the Jurchens and plundering the grasslands, and they did not grab many war horses by those poor ghosts who plundered the grasslands, and still lacked the things that the nomadic army relied on the most, so how could they still have the ability to fight against such a weak enemy as the Uighurs. It's really the end of a strong crossbow that can't penetrate the thin thread.

Fortunately, the Liao people were also able to fight a few times, many of them were singles caused by pirate robbery, and they had nothing to worry about, and in the face of the cruel reality that the harsh winter had begun to descend, they were also anxious in the face of the cruel reality that the harsh winter had begun to descend, and they took over the weapons of the army, and rushed to the Uighurs with unprecedented courage.

The Uighurs were happy to enjoy the fruits of the Tangut people's hard work, and did not expect and prevent the Liao Emperor from actually leading the tribes to move in, and the tribes and the population were naturally scattered and lived in the east and the west and the west were happily enjoying the ....... of the houses of the party and the people, how could they form a joint force in a hurry to meet the Liao State, and the forces to resist the invasion were too few and too weak...... The army of ordinary Liao people is not good at fighting, but it can still rely on the strength of the people and the urgency of the eyes to kill and grab it, and obtain a lot of livestock and horses...... Finally, I was glad to see the hope of becoming a great nomad again, and I became more and more courageous and insane in attacking.

It's just that for the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi, this so-called happy event is troublesome.

The Uighurs, who were originally known as the powerful Liao State, were not at all rare to see, and the Uighurs only had the share of honest bending their knees and paying tribute, but now it is different, I didn't expect to take advantage of this, and this has become an opponent or even a mortal enemy......
