The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 826
The Song Dynasty built the first offensive fortress on the grassland, Polu City. Without the knowledge of the initiators Xiang Lei, Wang Mazi and others, a scene that could change history happened in the Xixia Camp.

Li Yuanhao looked at his father on the sickbed with a cloudy expression, as if hesitating, and looked at the injured Li Jiqian motionlessly, until the chaos outside the camp became smaller and smaller, Li Yuanhao knew that he had to make up his mind, otherwise it would not be so good Opportunity.

Li Yuanhao easily picked up the silver spear, took another deep look at Li Jiqian and said to himself, "Father, don't blame me!" Then he gave it away...

"Pfft! You..." The sudden sharp pain caused Li Jiqian to stare at the unbelievable scene before him, and then fell asleep forever with infinite desire and ambition.

Li Yuanhao watched his father put the silver spear back to its original place, and then shouted loudly: "It's all quack doctors, the father is dead, someone here will drag these quack doctors down and behead them!"

"What? How is it possible...", "No! This is impossible, sir, there must be something wrong!" Li Yuanhao's personal guards didn't care about the howling of these doctors and dragged them away and then their heads fell to the ground. No evidence of death, no one knows...

When Zan Tianwang and Xingxing Luo Haiping came, Li Yuanhao had already announced the news of Li Jiqian's death: "Father was killed by the enemy army, and the army's morale was in turmoil. This bloody enmity must be paid by our party members, but now the father died suddenly. The entire army must be turbulent and withdraw their troops!"

This is the fundamental reason why Shan Shiqi and others were puzzled and Li Jiqian suddenly retreated!

Some people want to ask why Li Yuanhao killed his father?

Because of the two words "right", and because this time is a god-sent opportunity!

Let me talk about the struggle for rights first. Although Li Jiqian seems to rely heavily on Li Yuanhao, and makes this son the marshal every time he sends troops, it is not Li Yuanhao who really makes Li Jiqian the heir. Li Jiqian is more inclined to his second son Li Qianshun, and even his third son Li Xiaoren is above Li Yuanhao.

In addition, Li Yuanhao had many defeats in battles, and his internal reputation in Xixia was actually not as high as imagined, so Li Yuanhao knew that if there were no accidents, he would not be able to obtain the inheritance right at all.

But now it’s different. This time the situation is special. Most of Xixia’s soldiers and horses are gathered here because of Li Jiqian’s personal conquest of the Song Dynasty, and Li Yuanhao’s confidantes in the Southern and Northern Wars are all here. As long as his father Li Jiqian dies, Li Yuanhao believes that he can completely control this army. .

If you go back with a large army and kill the generals, then you are the Lord of Xixia instead of your younger brother Li Ganshun!

Under such a heaven-sent opportunity, Li Yuanhao chose to kill his father and seize power. It is not so important to control Xixia as a whole as for the war with Song Dynasty.

It can be said that Song Dynasty missed a god-given opportunity to destroy Xixia. When Lu Heng learned that Li Jiqian was dead and Li Yuanhao came to power, it was already a few months later that all day lilies were completely cold, so he had no choice but to give up this opportunity.

Li Yuanhao's retreat led Zhuge Liang to successfully defend Polu City. Even at this time, Shi Bao and Murong Yanzhao's legions had just arrived in Bingzhou, but Lu Heng did not let these two legions return to the court, but was temporarily controlled by Zhuge Liang. He was just afraid that Li Jiqian (Lu Heng didn't even know that Li Jiqian was dead at this time) would once again burst out with ambition to tease Da Song.

Of course, Li Yuanhao's journey to seize power was not so smooth. The famous Xixia general Li Jichong, the commander of Li Jiqian's army, had doubts about Li Jiqian's death. Li Yuanhao's camp was more than [-] steps away from Polu City. Even if you shoot it, you will not die immediately, not to mention that Li Jiqian is wearing the best elite armor, and the spear part is the strongest part of the chest armor.

What made Li Jichong even more suspicious was that all the doctors were killed by Li Yuanhao, and Li Yuanhao was the last person to see Li Jiqian. This raised too many doubts.

In addition, Li Jichong didn't like Li Yuanhao and didn't support him at all. Li Jichong preferred Li Qianshun even more. That nephew didn't like Li Yuanhao who had been in the army for many years.

Here is an explanation of the factions of Li Jiqian's clan. Now Li Jiqian's clan includes Li Jichong, Li Jipeng, Li Jiyuan, cousin Li Deming, and younger brother Li Zunxu who are of the same generation as Li Jiqian. Li Jiqian has four biological sons. The eldest son Li Yuanhao, the second son Li Qianshun, and the third son Li Xiaoren, his fourth son Li Chengwei, two adopted sons Li Deren and Li Wei, and an uncle Li Guangyan.

It is mainly divided into two big factions of Li Yuanhao and Li Qianshun, and a small faction of Li Xiaoren, including Li Jichong and Li Jipeng who are closer to Li Qianshun, while Li Jiyuan and Li Deming are closer to Li Yuanhao, and Li Zunxu is very close to Li Xiaoren. Close, but because they are family brothers rather than blood brothers, the force is naturally much smaller.

Among Li Yuanhao's peers, Li Chengwei and Li Yuanhao have the deepest relationship, and Li Deren and Li Sui are considered neutral, so it is not surprising that Li Jichong suspects Li Yuanhao.

However, Li Yuanhao is bound to win the power of this army. When he returned to Liangzhou, Li Yuanhao stabilized the two brothers Xingxing Luo Hai and Wu Gesong through the relationship of Zan Tianwang, and secretly obtained the support of the two conspirators Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan. Supported, launched a mutiny and killed Li Jichong directly on the road.

In this turmoil, the titan sister Le Dubu was killed in [-] rounds of fierce fighting with Xingxing Luo Hai, Qu Ye Yulu was killed in [-] rounds of fierce fighting with Zan Tianwang, Ji Ayu, Baa Yanbu, Tahai , Zuo Li and others were all eliminated one by one by Li Yuanhao.

Li Yuanhao, who completely controlled the army, returned to Liangzhou in a mighty way to gain power with a thunderbolt, but he didn't expect that Wei Mingling in the army obeyed Li Yuanhao on the surface, but actually sent his cronies to report to Li Qianshun that Li Yuanhao killed him in chaos. His uncle Li Jichong is even more suspected of patricide and mutiny.

Although Li Qianshun's reputation is not as good as that of Li Yuanhao who is known as the "devil king of the world", he is a rare outstanding monarch in the history of Xixia. Immediately convened to support his clan, and then put Li Yuanhao's son Li Liangzuo and Li Chengwei who had the best relationship with Li Yuanhao under house arrest, and even sent supervisors Li Jiyuan and Li Deming.

At the same time, orders including Li Liangfu, Xue Deli, A Chuo and other generals who stayed in various places returned to Beidi County'King Qin' immediately.

Although Li Qianshun has no evidence that Li Yuanhao killed his father, it has nothing to do with him. He can send people to spread rumors and spread Li Yuanhao's despicable behavior among the Qiang people in the hinterland of Xixia, such as Beidi County and Anding County. At the same time, he recruited a large number of Baima Qiang, Shaodang Qiang and other Qiang people are actively preparing for the battle.

In this way, Li Yuanhao is commanding most of the Xixia elite, while Li Qianshun has the advantage of the city and has made sufficient preparations. The battle between the two is imminent.
