Chapter 186 Xixia sends troops, the day of decisive battle arrives!

Li Zuoliang said, "I didn't expect that Lord Lin would come in person. This really surprised me."

"Lord Lin's name has already spread throughout the world. I never thought that Lord Lin would be so young. The Great Zhou is indeed a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It is really enviable!"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment."

Li Zuoliang said, "The Queen Mother recommended Lord Lin to me. It seems this matter is related to Lord Lin?"

"Yes, this time I am representing the Great Zhou and Liao Kingdom, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to ask Western Xia to send troops to resist the invasion of Northern Mang and Northern Yuan together," Lin Fan nodded slightly and said.

Li Zuoliang seemed unsurprised by this and said, "Before Lord Lin, the Liao Kingdom also sent envoys, hoping that we, the Western Xia, would send troops to help."

"It's just that our Xixia Kingdom is small and weak. Not to mention compared to the Northern Mang and Northern Yuan, even compared to the Liao Kingdom, we are far inferior. We really have no power!"

Lin Fan said calmly, "Both the Northern Mang and the Northern Yuan were ambitious people. With their rise to power, countless grassland tribes were swallowed up by them."

"Now, the Northern Mang and Northern Yuan have set their sights on the Liao Kingdom. If the Liao Kingdom had not received support from our Great Zhou, I'm afraid it would have been destroyed."

"Your Majesty, do you think that after the fall of the Liao Kingdom, Northern Mang and Northern Yuan will let go of this piece of fat meat, Western Xia? Therefore, Your Majesty's best option is to send a large army to form an alliance with the Liao Kingdom and the Great Zhou to jointly resist the invasion of Northern Mang and Northern Yuan."

In fact, when the Liao envoys asked for help, the Western Xia Emperor Li Zuoliang had planned to send troops.

Unfortunately, when Li Zuoliang put forward his own opinions, he was obstructed by Li Qiushui and his ministers.

Because they believed that Li Zuoliang wanted to use military force in order to take this opportunity to consolidate his military power.

Once Li Zuoliang gains control of the military power, Li Qiushui's position will be in jeopardy, and those ministers who depend on Li Qiushui will also not have a good ending.

Of course, they also put forward a plausible reason, that is, the Western Xia Kingdom was small and weak, and it was already stretched to the limit just to defend its territory, especially to guard against sneak attacks from the Western Liang and Tubo behind it.

As for the State of Song, they ignored it.

"Well..." Li Zuoliang looked thoughtful when he heard this, and glanced at Li Qiu Shui next to him.

Li Qiushui said, "Your Majesty, I think what Lord Lin said is very reasonable. As for my previous dissuading Your Majesty from sending troops, it was my short-sightedness as a woman."

Upon hearing this, Li Zuoliang's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with an embarrassed look, "Even if I agree to send troops, I'm afraid there will be many people in the court who oppose it."

"Whoever dares to object, I will shut him up!" Li Qiu Shui said coldly when he heard this.

Li Zuoliang said, "Since that's the case, then I will follow the Empress Dowager's wishes. Tomorrow morning, during the court session, I will announce the dispatch of troops."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty are truly wise. This is a blessing for Western Xia. I also thank Western Xia for their support on behalf of Liao and Great Zhou."

Li Zuoliang took over the conversation after hearing this and said, "Speaking of which, besides sending troops from Song, does the Great Zhou have any other troops directly under its command to reinforce Liao?"

"Given the might of the Great Zhou, if they were willing to send a large army to support them, they would surely be able to influence the outcome of the war and even impact the attitudes of the high-ranking officials of the Northern Mang and Northern Yuan dynasties, deterring them from continuing their invasion."

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Our Great Zhou has also dispatched its own troops, which will soon arrive at the Liao battlefield to jointly fight against the invading armies of the Northern Mang and Northern Yuan. We will definitely drive them all back!"

"That's great!" Li Zuoliang looked very surprised when he heard that.

Li Qiushui said, "Now that we have finished discussing the serious matters, we will leave first. Don't forget to attend the court tomorrow morning regarding the dispatch of troops."

After saying that, Li Qiu Shui turned around and left.

"Yes," Li Zuoliang agreed respectfully, and then said, "Farewell, Queen Mother!"

"I'm leaving!" Lin Fan bowed slightly to Li Zuoliang, then stood up and left.

As for the Tianshan Child-Fairy, she naturally followed Lin Fan.

After the three people left, the smile on the face of Xixia Emperor Li Zuoliang suddenly disappeared.

"Humph, you were the one who refused to send troops in the first place, and now you're the one demanding it. You really treat national affairs as a joke!"

Staring at the direction where Li Qiu Shui left, Li Zuoliang's eyes flashed with deep dissatisfaction, and he thought secretly in his heart.

"Although I don't know why you agreed to send troops, this time, the power of Xixia is now back in my hands!"

Lin Fan naturally had no idea what the Xixia Emperor Li Zuoliang was thinking.

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

After all, Lin Fan doesn’t even take Xixia seriously now.

In fact, Wang Li's 100,000 battle-hardened armored soldiers are enough to defeat Western Xia!

But now is not the time.

After leaving the Xixia Emperor's palace, Lin Fan said to Li Qiushui, "Thank you very much for sending troops. We will find an inn in Xixia City to stay temporarily."

"After three days, whether you sisters will fight to the death depends on your own choice. Farewell!"

After saying that, Lin Fan turned around and walked out of the palace.

"Li Qiushui, just wait, I will come to take your life in three days!" Tianshan Tonglao said a cruel word to Li Qiushui, then turned around and followed Lin Fan's steps.

Li Qiushui watched the two of them leave, his face showing a gloomy expression. After a while, he said coldly:

"Well, now that Wuyazi is dead, let's fight it out to the death! I don't believe that after all these years, I'm still not your match! Who will win is still unknown!"

After saying that, Li Qiu Shui turned around and returned to his palace, then concentrated on practicing Qigong and regulating his breathing, preparing to adjust himself to the best condition to prepare for the decisive battle in three days!

On the second day after Lin Fan and his three companions arrived at the Xixia Palace, the Xixia Emperor Li Zuoliang officially announced in the court that Xixia would send troops to reinforce the Liao Kingdom.

Because Li Qiu Shui had made the prior arrangement, there were few people in the court who opposed sending troops, and the resolution was finally passed.

After a decision by the court, the Western Xia Emperor Li Zuoliang sent out 80,000 Western Xia troops and appointed Li Yangong, a general of the Western Xia royal family, as the commander-in-chief of this expedition.

It has to be said that after the Xixia Emperor and the Queen Mother reached an agreement, the efficiency of the Xixia court was still very high.

On the third day, Li Qiushui and Tianshan Tonglao were about to fight to the death.

The 80,000-strong army of Western Xia, led by Li Yangong, marched towards the Liao Kingdom in a mighty force.

Lin Fan stood on top of a tall building in the capital of Western Xia, watching Li Yangong and his 80,000 troops leave, and nodded with satisfaction.

"After the final battle between Tianshan Tonglao and Li Qiushui is over, it's time for me to go back..."

Lin Fan murmured something, then returned to the inn, found Tianshan Tonglao, and said calmly, "Let's go find your junior sister."
