Section 3 After Yuan Hao proclaimed himself emperor, the war between Song and Xia and

In the first year of Song Baoyuan, Li Xia Yuanhao ascended the throne in Xingqing House. He was named the Great Xia, and his title was given by heaven. Not long ago, after the death of Cao Wei in Li Deming, Cao Wei, a general who was good at physiognomy in the Song Dynasty, guarded Dingzhou. He once said to Wang, the deputy envoy of the third division who came here on business: From the perspective of phase method, you should be a cardinal in the future. I want you to pay attention to one thing. I worked in Qin Zhou in my early years. I heard that Li Deming, a native of Xixia, traded sheep and horses with China every year to reward and punish the last trade volume, and often killed innocent civilians. His thirteen-year-old son Hao Yuan advised his father. We build our country with sheep and horses, but give them to the people in the Central Plains. The exchange of tea cloth is frivolous and useless, which can only damage the strength of the country. It is very wrong for my father to kill people because of this. Besides, in the long run, there will be more tea and cloth in Xixia, and fewer sheep and horse clubs, which will gradually weaken. Deming listened to him. I think it's strange. I wanted to know who Hao Yuan was, so I sent someone to draw his face, but the result was unusual. When Li Deming Xiahou _ dies, this person will suffer for my DaSong. At that time, you were in Tang Dynasty. I hope you can learn the art of war as soon as possible and discuss sideline business to avoid future disasters. Wang disagreed, and as a result, he was dismissed because he didn't understand military affairs. In October of the ninth year of Shengyuan, Li Deming died and Prince Li Yuanhao succeeded him. Li Yuanhao is a learned leader. He is good at painting, proficient in Buddhist scriptures and laws, studying Tibetan and Chinese characters, and developing utensils. He is determined, familiar with the art of war and deeply loved by the people. Although Li Yuanhao accepted the title of Wang Ping in Song and Liao Dynasties, he was determined to get rid of Song and Liao Dynasties and establish a country belonging to dangxiang. So it stepped up its expansion to the west, making its territory include five States in northern Shaanxi, Lingzhou and Yanzhou in Ningxia, and its development momentum became more and more fierce. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, shortly after he ascended the throne, Liao made him King of Xia. The Song Dynasty also sent envoys and appointed Li Yuanhao as King Xiping and our envoy. Li Yuanhao, the American special envoy to the Song Dynasty, was not polite, but rather contemptuous. After the Tang and Song Dynasties abolished surnames, Li, Zhao and other surnames were changed to Yi surnames and changed to Wu surnames. Next, he carried out a series of reforms to strengthen national consciousness. He ordered the restoration of baldness custom, stipulated clothing, abolished complicated etiquette system, advocated courage, and created Xixia characters to record Tangut language. In addition, he also improved various systems in feudal countries: First, within two years, it was taboo to change the Song Dynasty to avoid father's revenge.

Three thousand dollars of love and three evils were revealed, and then in the second year, it was changed to good luck. In May, Xingkai House was changed to Xingqing House, and a palace was built here. Secondly, imitating the official system of the Song Dynasty, the official system and court documents were set up, and two sets of ruling institutions of Fan and Han were established. Finally, on the military side, he modeled himself on the system of the Song Dynasty, fixed his station and deployed troops. Li Yuanhao's outstanding American military talent first showed its edge in the Uighur War in Li Deming, and later became more prominent in the Hexi War. After Li Yuanhao ascended the throne, he continued to send troops to attack Hexi. In July of the second year of Ming Dow, Sunur was sent to attack the city of Royal, and was defeated and captured by the other side. In September, Li Yuanhao led an army to attack the city again, pretending to make peace with the city and taking the opportunity to conquer it. In November of the second year of Xia Guangyun, Li Yuanhao attacked Zongge and the surrounding cities of Ling Xing, and entered Qingtang. He fought Angelo for more than 200 days; Tubo's 100,000 troops defeated Luz in the western Soviet Union.

In the first year, Li Yuanhao prepared to attack Hedong Road in Song Dynasty, and invited the ministers of Song Dynasty to worship Buddha in Wutai Mountain. He was going to explore the invasion road, found the guard on the east side of the river, and went. In July, Li Yuanhao called leaders from all walks of life to meet in Helan Mountain, and agreed to wait for the opportunity. He wants to attack from Dejing, Ximenzhai and Chicheng Road at the same time. When he was ready to send troops, Li Yuanhao was dissuaded from saying that he could not convince the people without founding the country, so Li Yuanhao decided to proclaim himself emperor and establish the country immediately. In October, Li Yuanhao and his ministers Ye Liren Rong and Yang Shousu planned to be emperors. In the first year of Baoyuan in Song Renzong, Li Yuanhao ascended the throne in Xingqing House, known as Daxia and Xixia in history. Li Yuanhao claimed to be the emperor sai-jo, Jing Zong of Xixia, and changed his title to the first year of Yan Li and the first year of strict law, with Xingqing House as his capital. There is a great official named Li. His grandfather Li was made emperor, his father Li Deming was made emperor, and his temple was made emperor Taizong. Li Ningming was appointed as the Prince and went to Xiliang House in November to worship the gods. At this time, Xixia is already a big country stretching thousands of miles from the Yellow River in the east, Yumen in the west, Xiaoguan in the south and the desert in the north. The purpose of Li Yuanhao proclaimed himself emperor is to realize the independence of the Tangut regime and get rid of the rule of the Song Dynasty. However, Li Yuanhao hoped that the Song Dynasty would recognize him as the founding emperor. In the first month of the second year after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Li Yuanhao sent a special envoy to the Song Dynasty, claiming that he was a descendant of the royal family. At this time, it is legal to ask for the title of Emperor Xia Guo. He asked the Emperor of Song Dynasty to grant him the title of King of Xia Guo, and admitted that the western suburbs belonged to Xia Guo. Song Renzong issued a letter in May and June, revoking the official position he had previously given to Li Yuanhao, forbidding trade with Xixia, and announcing the reward. Whoever can catch Li Yuanhao and hand over his head must be appointed as our refugee era. At the same time, Xia was appointed by the Song Dynasty as the magistrate of Jingyuan, Qin Feng, Magistrate of a County and Ren Yanhuan as the comfort station, and * * * cooperated with Xixia. In the winter of Baoyuan's second year, Li Yuanhao took the initiative to send troops to attack the security guards. The order to patrol allowed Di Qing to defeat it. In summer, this ceremony lasted only three to five years, and Li Yuanhao launched three large-scale attacks on the Song Dynasty. In the first month of the first year of Kangding, Li Yuanhao sent people to surrender to Fan Yong, the satrap of Yanzhou in the Song Dynasty, who took advantage of it to occupy Jinming Village, a strategic place at the turn of the Song and Xia Dynasties. He sent troops to attack the security guards and successively captured Anyuan Village, Zhaimen Village and Yongping Village until Yanzhou was at the gates. Although Song Jun stationed hundreds of troops near Yanzhou at that time, his morale was low, and he could not cooperate with Qi Xin to resist the enemy, so he was defeated repeatedly. Fan Yong failed to stick to Yanzhou, and quickly sent someone as the deputy commander-in-chief stationed in Gyeongju. Shi led cavalry to support him. The two teams fought fiercely in Sanchuankou, but Ping Liu unfortunately went in the wrong direction. When it was dark, the Xixia army sent light to battle, and Song Jun's front retreated. Huang Dehe, governor of the Song Dynasty, saw the troops in front retreating from behind, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat. The soldiers fled one after another, and Song Jun fell into chaos. Ping Liu led the rest of the army to fight for three days, until he retreated to the southwest mountainous area and was surrounded by Xixia troops overnight. Early the next morning, Xixia unilaterally divided Song Jun into two parts, and the two sides fought fiercely all day. Finally, he failed and Shi was caught. Then Li Yuanhao turned to Yanzhou for seven days, just in time for the heavy snow; Li Yuanhao, afraid of losing his army rear, ordered
