In the palace of Xingqing Mansion, all the Great Song soldiers talked about it, they couldn't believe it was true, they fought hard to finally achieve victory, and they had already captured the capital of Western Xia, they were fully capable of killing the emperor and the queen mother in front of them, but Hualang said to let them go and leave.

How is this possible, is Hanalang crazy?

He was the one who advocated leading troops to attack Western Xia, and now he was the one who was going to release the Emperor and the Queen Mother of Western Xia, and everyone couldn't understand what Hua Lang wanted to do.

A few soldiers were reluctant, but when Hanaro's eyes looked over, they immediately became timid.

All the people listened to Hanarang's blend, and all they had to go back.

When they left Xingqing, it was dark, and everyone was not walking very fast, in addition to them being very sleepy, and then they had no morale, they didn't understand, why did they not want the victory in hand?

Wen Meng and Hua Lang walked side by side, although the two have been married for many years, but she really didn't understand Hua Lang's behavior.

The two of them walked, and when the moonlight fell, the whole night was beautiful.

Wen Meng couldn't help but ask, "You...... Why? ”

Hua Lang smiled lightly: "You should have heard of the Battle of Chibi in the story of the Three Kingdoms!" ”

Wen Meng has also read a lot of books since she married Hua Lang, how can she not know such a classic story as the Battle of Red Cliffs, but she doesn't understand why Hua Lang wants to mention such a story.

"Does this have anything to do with the fact that you released the emperor and queen mother of the Western Xia Kingdom today?"

"Of course it does!"

"What's the matter!"

"In the Battle of Chibi that year, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu united, and came to borrow the east wind, but Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops were burned, and Cao Cao's army was defeated and took Huarong Dao, Zhuge Liang had already calculated this, so he sent Guan Yu to intercept and kill in Huarong Dao, do you know this?"

Wen Meng still didn't understand what Hua Lang meant by this, and after nodding slightly, he said: "I know, but in the end, Guan Yu let Cao Cao go, which led to Cao Cao constantly accumulating strength, and finally destroying Shu and Wu, what is the difference between your behavior today and Guan Yu at that time?" ”

Hua Lang smiled: "My approach is also Zhuge Liang's idea at that time, there is not much difference, but it is impossible for Western Xia to be strong enough to destroy the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"You ......" Wen Meng had an indescribable anger, he really didn't understand, since Hua Lang understood that this situation was dangerous, but why did he let go of the little emperor and the empress dowager of Western Xia?

Hua Lang knew very well that some things could only be explained clearly, and now that Wen Meng asked, he naturally wanted to explain.

"Let's not analyze the matter of me letting go of the Western Xia Emperor and the Empress Dowager, let's first talk about what Zhuge Liang thought back then, Liu Bei's power was very weak at that time, and he could only unite with Sun Quan of Eastern Wu to deal with Cao Cao, and at that time Cao Cao claimed to have millions of male soldiers in his hands, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu jointly won the battle, which eventually led to Cao Cao's defeat, if about killing Cao Cao in Huarong Dao, what would be the result?"

"What can it be, naturally there is no longer Wei in history, and in the end, Shu and Wu will compete for hegemony!"

Hua Lang smiled lightly and shook his head: "Really? At that time, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and the others were still in Eastern Wu, if Sun Quan and Zhou Yu of Eastern Wu learned that Cao Cao, their worst enemy, was dead, what would they do to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang? ”

Wen Meng is not a stupid person, when he heard this, he immediately understood, and at this time, Hua Lang smiled faintly and continued: "Liu Bei had very few troops at that time, and he was not Sun Quan's opponent at all, if Cao Cao died, Sun Quan would immediately use Liu Bei without having any scruples, that is, Liu Bei was only afraid that he would not be able to get out of Eastern Wu, so that there would be Shu and Wu fighting for hegemony, but I am afraid that the final winner is Sun Quan." Zhuge Liang knew that Cao Cao had a favor for Guan Yu, so he let Guan Yu ambush Huarong Dao, and let Guan Yu let Cao Cao go, so because Cao Cao wanted to take advantage of the fisherman, so Dongwu did not dare to attack Liu Bei easily, and it was because of this that Liu Bei was able to establish the Shu Kingdom. ”

At this time, Wen Meng had already understood everything, and at this time, Hua Lang led the topic to what they were doing today.

"Although the territory of Western Xia is not as large as our Great Song and Liao Kingdom, it is not small, and it stretches deep to the northwest, we only captured Xingqing Mansion, but there are at least 500,000 soldiers and horses in other parts of Western Xia, and we can fight 500,000 with only 100,000 horses? Of course, we have captured Xingqing Mansion, at least within a day do not have to be afraid of the 500,000 horses, but if we kill the emperor and the queen mother, the 500,000 horses will definitely take the opportunity to seize the power of the Western Xia army, so that in order to be able to control the Western Xia regime, those generals will definitely relieve the pressure of the people on them through war, at that time, I am afraid that the border of the Great Song Dynasty will be unstable, and leave the little emperor and the queen mother, even if those soldiers want to attack us, but the emperor and the queen mother have seen our power, They didn't dare to fight a word, and the soldiers of Western Xia dared to do something to my Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Moreover, we killed the ministers of the Western Xia, in this way, the Western Xia must be chaotic, in order to maintain order, they must select new officials, so the whole, I am afraid that it will be difficult to restore the vitality of the Western Xia without three or five years, and the peace of the three or five years is not easy to come by."

"Then there is a bit similar to Guan Yu Huarong Dao and Cao Cao, we have Liao in the north, they are thinking that we and the Western Xia are both defeated, and their Liao is good to take advantage of the fire to rob, but now we did not kill the Western Xia Emperor, but the hatred shocked them, the two can't fight, and the Liao State has no chance to take advantage of the fire to rob!"

Hua Lang had already explained his thoughts clearly, and Wen Meng had also understood, and at this time, the night was deeper, but the moon in the sky was brighter.

After dawn, everyone came to the barracks, Hua Lang's disposal of the little emperor and the queen mother of the Western Xia Bai Ji had already heard, at first he Ye felt very sorry and angry, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Hua Lang was right to do this, they must not let the Liao State take advantage of the back, if they really destroyed the Western Xia, I am afraid that the Liao State will have no worries, and they will immediately launch a war against the Great Song Dynasty.

The Liao State is much more difficult to deal with than the Western Xia.

Therefore, after Hua Lang came back, the other generals were all unhappy, but Bai Ji greeted him with a smile, and the two tacitly agreed, so naturally they didn't have to bother talking, but after everyone talked, Hua Lang suddenly proposed to leave, leaving the barracks, I am afraid that he would also leave Linxi City.

It's time to leave.
