The conditions offered by Li Renxiao were so generous that Ren Dejing was very moved. Then, Ren Dejing invited Li Ren Li to go down first, and then called his younger brothers Ren Decong and Ren Degong to discuss countermeasures.

Ren Dejing told Ren Decong about the conditions that Li Ren Decong had given to Ren Decong. After Ren Degong talked about it, Ren Decong and Ren Degong were very excited. They thought that the Ren family's risk of rebellion against Xia this time was worth it. Now their Ren family can get at least half of the Xixia country.

but

The question now is, should their Ren family stop when they meet?

After pondering for a while, Ren Degong first spoke: "I think I can agree to the conditions of Master Xia. Master Xia is already very sincere. Even Lingzhou, the cornerstone of the Great Xia, is willing to give it to our Ren family. We should stop when we see it."

Ren Decong also said: "It is indeed good to have such a result, but what should we do with the agreement between us and Dazhong? I am afraid that once we breach the contract, Dazhong might use this as an excuse to send troops to conquer us. Moreover, I am sure that Wu Jie already has the will to be independent. In this case, if we can win the Western Xia, there will be infinite possibilities." If Wu Jie really can support the Western army to occupy Sichuan, Shaanxi and Longyou to establish himself, then there are many possibilities for the Ren family in the future. Maybe one day, Ren Dejing can take Li Yan and replace him.

Ren Degong was quite calm, and he said, "A thousand birds are in the forest, but a bird is worse than a bird. After all, Wu Jie is still far away from his own army. It is better to have half a Xixia first, and then make a long-term plan. As for Dazhong... I think of a solution. At worst, let's pay tribute to Dazhong first, or call him a vassal to Dazhong?"

Ren Dejing thought for a while and said, "Can you win a little?"

Ren Decong and Ren Degong asked together, "How to win the favor?"

Ren Dejing's eyes flashed with greed, and then he said, "Let Li go to Guazhou, Shazhou, our Ren family is based in Lingzhou, Xiazhou and other places. What do you think?"

The most prosperous areas in Xixia are the central areas such as Lingzhou and Xiazhou.

This Lingzhou is the Lingwu of Ningxia in later generations. This place is in the Hetao Plain. The "Nine Curves of the Yellow River, the only richest set", with abundant water and plants, and rich products. Moreover, this place controls Heshuo in the north, attracts Qing and Liang in the south, and is located at the top of the road, and is very important. If any regime possesses this place, it will be of great benefit to the development and growth of this regime. During the Tang Dynasty, Lingzhou was still the mainland, and the Song Dynasty established its capital Kaifeng, and Lingzhou belonged to the extreme border. At the beginning, Li Jiqian got Lingzhou and had the current Western Xia. In addition, this Lingzhou is the transportation hub between the Central Plains and the Hexi Corridor. If it occupied Lingzhou, it could control the Silk Road to engage in international trade.

Xiazhou is equally important. Xiazhou can be said to be the birthplace of Dangxiang people, at least the place where Dangxiang people make their fortunes. Dangxiang people live in Xiazhou forever, so Xiazhou can be regarded as the ancestral land of Dangxiang people.

Lingzhou and Xiazhou have 70% to 80% of the population of Xixia, as well as most important facilities in Xixia.

If the Western Xia is divided according to Ren Dejing's idea, then the Xixia Li family, which only occupies the northwest border, will probably degenerate into an ordinary tribe on the grassland in a short time. The Ren family in Lingzhou and Xiazhou will not affect their alliance with Wu Jie, who is "about to have troops to support themselves", will still have infinite possibilities in the future. This is Ren Dejing's compromise.

It can be said that Ren Dejing has a good plan.

Although Ren Decong and Ren Degong both felt that Li Ren Dejing would not agree to such excessive conditions, the greedy Ren Dejing still told Li Ren Ren Dejing about his thoughts.

After hearing this, Li Renli could no longer help but feel anger in his heart. Chong Ren Dejing cursed him and cursed Ren Dejing in a bloody way.

Ren Dejing, who was so angry that he ordered someone to cut off Li Renli's nose and beat him out, claiming that if Li Renxia did not divide the Xixia according to his ideas, he would lead a large army to Xingqing Mansion and then destroy the entire Li family.

After Li Renli returned to Xiazhou, he told Richard Richard about Ren Dejing's greed. Richard Richard was furious and said he wanted to fight Ren Dejing to death.

Li Renli briefly bandaged the wound and returned to Xingqing Mansion. Then he told Li Renxiao and others about Ren Dejing's greed.

After hearing Li Renli's words, from Li Renxiao, all the people in Xixia were filled with indignation and shouted that even if they gave Xixia to Dazhong, they would never let Rendejing, who was insatiable!

but

Giving Xixia to Dazhong is a temporary singular saying. Unless it is really at the point of desperate situation, how could the Li family of Xixia take such an extreme step?

Soon, Brother Richard sent someone to send Li Renxiao his advice.

Brother Richard’s suggestion is very simple, that is, to fight once.

Brother Richard skillfully proposed that things that cannot be obtained on the battlefield are absolutely not available at the negotiating table. Ren Dejing must now think he is sure to win, so he dares to ask for a price all over the place. In this case, only if Ren Dejing is hurt, Ren Dejing will put away his greed. If Ren Dejing can defeat Ren Dejing, it would be even better. At that time, even Lingzhou will not give Ren Dejing, and let Ren Dejing go directly to the northwest.

Of course, Richard's suggestion also has huge risks, that is, once Richard is defeated, the Li family in the Western Xia may face a catastrophe. In addition, if the Xia army starts war with Ren Dejing's rebels, they may fight with the snipe and clam to teach the great fisherman to benefit.

But then again, Ren Dejing was too greedy and didn't give the Li family other than Xixia.

Often, this kind of moment is a moment when a monarch's decisive ability is tested. Li Yan has experienced countless such moments when he has reached this point. Now it is Li Renxiao's turn to experience such moments.

Li Renxiao locked himself in the room for more than three hours, then opened the door and walked out, and then said to his confidants: "Fight, let's talk about it if you win. If you lose, I will recognize that the "handwritten letter" written by Dazhong was written by me."

In other words, if Brother Richard can win this battle, Li Renxiao will find ways to clean up the mess according to the situation. If Brother Richard loses this battle, Li Renxiao will be prepared to give Xixia to Dazhong and Li Yan, so that the Li family will be rich and Xixia will become completely history.

It is conceivable how difficult it is for Li Renxiao to make this decision, especially Li Renxiao is just a child under thirteen years old.

But Li In-hyo finally made this difficult decision.

Soon, Li Renxiao's decision was sent to Brother Richard.

After seeing Li Renxiao's orders, Brother Li cried out loudly, and then spread Li Renxiao's orders throughout the army, and the Xia army was filled with wailing.

After the whine, the Xia army burst out with unprecedented morale. Brother Richard personally deployed it, and then personally led the army to fight against Ren Dejing's rebels.

Ren Dejing actually felt something was wrong, and even regretted not accepting Li Renxiao's proposal.

But it is too late to say anything now. Brother Richard has led a large army to attack. Ren Dejing can only fight. Otherwise, the Ren family will be wasted all their efforts. Therefore, Ren Dejing can only suppress bad feelings and regrets and personally organizes an army to fight the Xia army...
