Was the original purpose of Western Xia to destroy the Song Dynasty?

No. With the national strength of Western Xia, it could only barely survive between the two superpowers of Liao and Song.

One of the two countries cannot be destroyed.

The national policy of Western Xia was to rely on Liao when Song attacked, and Song Dynasty when Liao attacked, so as to maintain the balance of power between Song and Liao.

And extort the two countries from the two countries on the condition of dependency to make a profit.

It's just a matter of survival.

No. The power of the Western Xia could not compete with the Song.

You can only defend but not attack.

But I don't want to return to the two kingdoms of Song and Liao.

Just survive.

The ruler's goal is to constantly expand his territory, and if he has the opportunity, he will destroy the surrounding countries.

China is a resource-rich country. At that time, the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and guided from the outside to strengthen the middle. It's a good opportunity to get into the Central Plains. Of course, Western Xia will not let go of this good opportunity.

The strength of Western Xia has never been good, and it has never been Song's opponent.

Summary. We all know that the Western Xia was a regime established by the Dangxiang clan in northwestern China during the Song and Song dynasties, and this regime, under the leadership of the founding emperor Li Yuanhao, became a state on a par with the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State. The Western Xia Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty have been confronting each other on the border for a long time, and there was a war, and it became a bitter country of the Great Song Kingdom

The Western Xia threatened the Song Dynasty, why could the Song Dynasty never destroy the Western Xia? The following author will elaborate and analyze this issue in the context of history.

The Western Xia also threatened the Song Dynasty, why could the Song Dynasty never destroy the Western Xia?

First, the Western Xia Kingdom was a martial country, and this country was based on "building a country by war", and all the people were soldiers.

Why is it said that the Western Xia is stronger than the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty cannot be allowed to destroy the country?

But what I asked was why the Western Xia couldn't destroy the Song Dynasty, not whether the Song Dynasty could destroy the Western Xia.

No. Why did it say that Western Xia could not destroy the Great Song Dynasty?

Is there any reason?

First of all, although the Song Kingdom during the Northern Song Dynasty gave the world an image of poverty and weakness, the Great Song Dynasty was not weak, and the Great Song Dynasty ranked first at that time in terms of land area, economy, and military. At this time, the survival crisis of the weakest Western Xia was even greater, both sides could not afford to offend, and there was no way for the weak country to always depend on another strong country, which was the most realistic and practical way. has a strong sense of crisis, and before Song and Liao joined forces to fight him, he had already had the idea of joining Liao to fight Song, and quickly took action.

Isn't it said that the Western Xia was stronger than the Song Dynasty? No.

The relationship between the Western Xia and the Northern Song Dynasty was one of war and peace talks.

From the first year of Song Renzong's Kangding reign to the second year of Qingli (1040-1042), the Western Xia Emperor Yuan Hao launched several large-scale military attacks on the Song side, and both sides suffered heavy losses, resulting in a peace treaty in 1044. Song Wan gave Xixia 72,000 taels of silver, 153,000 horses of silk, and 30,000 catties of tea every year, which was called "New Year's Gift". The Khitan took the opportunity to threaten, and the Song side added 100,000 coins and silver silk each, totaling 500,000 taels.

After the conclusion of the Song-Xia Peace Treaty, the northwest frontier was calm for more than 20 years. By 1066 (the third year of the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Song Dynasty), the Western Xia began to provoke again, and wars continued. In the fourth year of Yuanfeng (1081), the Northern Song Dynasty attacked Xia on the fifth road, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
