Xingqing Prefecture of West Xia.
Li Yuanhao had just finished dealing with the Tartars.
Now that the Tartars were at their peak, West Xia could no longer resist them.
Although they had Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi who were very good at fighting, they were getting less and less effective.
Fortunately, West Xia's national strength was not bad. At least Li Yuanhao did not have to worry about the Tartars daring to attack.
At this moment, Xia Jinwu asked for an audience.
"Oh? Isn't this General Xia Jinwu? "
"Why do you have time to come here?"
Li Yuanhao saw Xia Jinwu and his face darkened.
Xia Jinwu and Wanyan Zongbi had fought together for many years and had fought many battles with West Xia.
Although West Xia had signed a peace agreement with the Jin for various reasons.
But Li Yuanhao still hated Xia Jinwu from the bottom of his heart.
Many West Xia people had died in the hands of Xia Jinwu.
But now the two countries were in a good relationship. Unless there was a special situation, Li Yuanhao would definitely not do anything to Xia Jinwu.
Xia Jinwu said respectfully:
"Respected King of West Xia, I am here on the order of Jin Wushu to ask for an audience with you."
"The General is now fighting against the Song Dynasty and is in deep trouble."
"Now the General is willing to give you a share of the Song Dynasty. I wonder if you are interested?"
Li Yuanhao was slightly taken aback when he heard that.
"Oh?"
"Why do you say that?"
Seeing Li Yuanhao's reaction, Xia Jinwu could not help but sneer in his heart.
Sure enough, this trick was very useful to Li Yuanhao.
Although West Xia was powerful, it had been difficult to expand its territory.
As a result, the population of West Xia could not increase at all and could only stagnate.
West Xia and the Tartars could be said to be constantly at war. Because of the neighboring countries, they often fought with each other.
The Tartars' territory was constantly growing, and their population was significantly increasing.
If this continued, West Xia would be destroyed by the Tartars sooner or later.
This was also the reason why Li Yuanhao had a headache now.
However, Wanyan Zongbi decided that as long as West Xia was willing to send troops to help attack the Song Dynasty, half of the Song Dynasty's territory would be given to West Xia.
The Song Dynasty's territory was definitely not small, at least two or three times the current West Xia's territory.
This condition could be said to be very tempting for Li Yuanhao.
Li Yuanhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Jinwu.
"? Aren't the Rujin people very brave in battle? "
"Why do you still want West Xia to send troops?"
Xia Jinwu smiled faintly and continued.
"West Xia King, you should know that I, the Great Vajra King, need time to digest the territory of the Liao Kingdom. Although the Song Dynasty's territory is not much, if I take it all, I won't be able to swallow it all."
"As the saying goes, don't bite off more than you can chew. Therefore, as long as the king of West Xia is willing to assist Jin, we can give half of the Song Dynasty's territory to West Xia."
Hearing Xia Jinwu's words, Li Yuanhao was obviously moved.
Xia Jinwu had been dealing with West Xia for so many years, so he knew very well what King Li Yuanhao of West Xia wanted.
However, Li Yuanhao was not some kind person. Wanting to deceive him was not that easy.
What Xia Jinwu had to pay the most attention to now was to not let Li Yuanhao know that Wanyan Zongbi was actually unable to defeat the Song army, so he decided to join forces with West Xia.
"Do you think this reason is enough to convince me?"
Li Yuanhao looked at Xia Jinwu coldly.
He had a feeling that Xia Jinwu's visit this time would not be so simple.
How could the Jin people be so kind as to give him territory?
This was simply like dancing in the Wanyan Zong Bi Association. This was something that was impossible to happen.
Xia Jinwu was stunned at first, and then he immediately covered up a trace of nervousness in his eyes and said calmly,
"Oh? King of West Xia, haven't you fought with the Song people before? "
"King of West Xia, don't you know how weak the Song people are?"
"If you are not interested in this, then just pretend that I have never been here."
After saying that, Xia Jinwu slowly got up and pretended to leave.
At this time, he could not give himself away.
Without the help of West Xia, it would be difficult to deal with the Song people.
Even if the Iron Buddha and the Guaizi Horse joined the battle at the same time, it would still be impossible.
At this time, Xia Jinwu had to pretend.
And he had to do it well.
Li Yuanhao was cunning and would not be fooled so easily.
"Wait."
At this time, Li Yuanhao slowly stood up and said with his hands behind his back,
"In this case, I have no reason to refuse."
"But this time, I can only send 100,000 soldiers at most."
"You also know that I am now at war with the Tatars. I guess Jin is the same, right?"
"Otherwise, why would Jin only send 100,000 soldiers to the south?"
Xia Jinwu smiled slightly and said,
"It's a wise move."
Li Yuanhao continued,
"Don't worry. Although I can only send 100,000 soldiers, I don't need half of the Song territory."
"I only need one-third of it."
Li Yuanhao was very sensible.
Xia Jinwu had said that he should not bite off more than he could chew. Li Yuanhao naturally knew this.
Although he had a large population, if his territory suddenly skyrocketed, it was absolutely unknown what would happen.
Now it seemed that only one-third of the Song territory was the safest way.
"Well, in this case, I will leave first."
"King of West Xia, please don't go back on your words. I hope to see the army of West Xia involved in three days."
Since he had achieved his goal, Xia Jinwu did not say anything more.
The more he said, the more he would expose.
Xia Jinwu, who often went out to negotiate, knew this well.
Li Yuanhao did not ask Xia Jinwu to stay.
After Xia Jinwu left, Li Yuanhao slowly sat down and looked at the generals in front of him.
"Which general is willing to fight in this war?"
"Take down the Song Dynasty and expand our territory. This is a chance to strengthen our country!"
At this moment, a tall and burly man slowly stood up.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops!"
"I am very familiar with the Song army. I can definitely defeat the Song army!"
This person was none other than Yeli Wangrong.
Li Yuanhao was slightly taken aback.
"Approved!"
Although Yeli Wangrong had been dealing with the Tatars, the Tatars were exhausted and had temporarily stopped fighting. Yeli Yuqi was enough.
As for Yeli Wangrong, he could naturally lead the troops to attack the Song Dynasty.
In reality, Li Yuanhao did not have many soldiers that he could use.
Yeli Yuqi and Yeli Wangrong were the two generals that Li Yuanhao could use.
As for the remaining soldiers, although they were quite strong, it would not be easy to deal with the Song people.
Moreover, they were working with the Jin, so they had to be careful of backstabbing.
