Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The Song Army did not go to Jingzhou, but to Xingzhou.

Li Que immediately wrote a letter to Brother Li Cha, informing Brother Li Cha of this matter.

In the evening, Brother Li Cha received the letter and asked in confusion, "The Song army is going to raid Xingzhou with cavalry?"

Chapter 1098 Changes in Xingzhou (Second Change)

If someone tells you that he wants to use thousands of cavalry to attack a city with strong defenses, you will definitely think this person is crazy.

A small number of elite cavalry are already very good at fighting on foot. Let the cavalry go to attack the city?

Could it be that the cavalry rode their horses one by one, rushed towards the city wall, and knocked down the city wall with their horses?

Or is it that the war horse flew up and flew to the top of the city while riding?

This is obviously impossible.

Brother Li Cha looked around, both of them looked puzzled.

"This is an act of the Song army to confuse our army." Zhang Chunming said, "The Song army will not be so stupid as to directly march to the city of Xingzhou."

Yes!

Jingzhou is to the south of Xingzhou City, Huaizhou is to the east, and Shunzhou is to the southwest.

There are Xixia troops in these places.

How stupid is the commander-in-chief of the Song Army to bypass these deployments and rush directly to Xingzhou City?

Not to mention that there was no way to capture Xingzhou, the Xixia cavalry who had been waiting for a long time on the way attacked from all directions.

Brother Li Cha pondered for a moment, then said: "First, closely observe the movement of this Song army, and see what the official Zhao family intends to do."

Obviously Brother Li Cha didn't want to be led by the nose by Zhao Guan's family.

The Song army did not send out the main force of the infantry to advance to Jingzhou. He would not do it easily, and the two sides were facing each other in Shunzhou.

Zhang Chunming added: "Your Highness, the sudden appearance of the cavalry from the Song army also indicated that Zhao Guanjia and Zhang Jun could no longer hold back, and they might send troops in the next few days."

"You're right."

On the afternoon of the fourth day of November, Liu Kai arrived at the city of Xingzhou.

Liu Rui said: "Liu Shuai, the Xixia cavalry behind have been following."

"If they wanted to do something, they would have done it long ago." Liu Kai said, "The rear army can just guard against them, and now it's important."

The news that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were approaching the city quickly spread in Xingzhou.

The ministers and nobles immediately gathered in the palace hall. Li Renxiao, who had been attacked before, had woken up from a coma and succeeded to the throne in a hurry.

The atmosphere in the hall was heavy, and the queen mother said: "Mr. Wang, the people of Song Dynasty are here. What is your strategy for retreating?"

This is unusual, it is the empress dowager's in-laws, so the empress dowager was naturally the first to ask him.

Wang Chang said: "The prime minister has higher prestige than the ministers and is resourceful. Please ask the prime minister to preside over the overall situation."

"Prime Minister, what is your strategy for retreating?" the Queen Mother asked again.

Wei Ming An Hui stood up and said: "I have reported to the Queen Mother, I feel that the Song army's arrival in Xingzhou already shows that King Jin was defeated at the front."

As soon as he said this, the ministers immediately showed panic, and there were many discussions in the hall.

The Empress Dowager showed shock, she was a woman, she used to be in the harem, where did she handle this kind of political affairs?

Although Xixia has the old tradition of the mother of the country intervening in politics, this old tradition has long been terminated by Li Ganshun.

The Queen Mother asked: "Then what should we do now?"

Immediately, ministers and nobles jumped out and said, "Naturally, it will be a bloody battle to the end. My Xingzhou City is as solid as gold, and it is not so easy for the Song people to conquer Xingzhou!"

"Yes! If the people of Song can't attack, the Kingdom of Jin will put pressure on the Kingdom of Song soon!"

Everyone shouted.

The queen mother continued to ask: "Prime Minister, tell me about your strategy for retreating."

Wei Ming Anhui said: "Is there any way to retreat the army? The Song army is strong, and the King of Jin is probably defeated. A bloody battle is impossible in the end. The Song people have a heavy artillery that can smash down the city wall!"

"Crash down the city wall?" Empress Dowager Cao stood up in surprise, "Can you really smash down the city wall?"

The ministers and nobles who were going to fight to the end just now also looked surprised.

"Yes, the Song people already had this kind of weapon, and they used it many times when fighting the Jin people, and as far as I know, the Jin country also has this kind of weapon, and they learned it from the Song people. The Song army went all the way and captured Hengshan. The defense line is all because of this weapon."

Wang Chang said: "Is there really such a weapon in the world?"

"Otherwise, why do you think the Song people are so fast?"

Now the hall was completely silent.

Empress Dowager Cao continued to ask: "Then Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

Wei Ming An Hui sighed and said: "It was difficult for our ancestors to start a business, but in the end they also took the land from Da Song. Now Da Song came to Xingzhou to recover their homeland, and we will return it to them."

As soon as he said this, someone seemed to be like a cat that stepped on its tail.

For example, Xifeng Keyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came out and angrily said: "The prime minister wants to surrender?"

Wang Chang stood up and said, "I think what the prime minister said makes sense."

The Xia Lord Li Renxiao who was sitting on it was still pale, obviously suffering from unhealed pain, but he said angrily, "Could the prime minister want me to surrender and offer my country?"

"This is the best policy."

"Back then the people of Song Dynasty broke through Hengshan, and their soldiers pointed directly at Xingqing Mansion. The late emperor led his troops back to the Weifu Military Division in Heishan to buy time. The Liao Kingdom intervened, and the people of Song retreated. My Daxia was able to restore the country. Now the Song army If you call again, will you definitely be able to kill me in Daxia?"

Li Renxiao looked coldly at Wei Ming An Hui, obviously he didn't want to be the king of subjugation.

However, all the officials of the Privy Council and the Zhongshu Department came out one after another and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that what the prime minister said is reasonable. The Song army is strong. I am afraid that Xingzhou has already been captured before Jin Guo goes to Bianjing." For the sake of the common people, Your Majesty condescends to open the city to wait for the master of the Song Dynasty, to leave a good name and be admired by the world, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Li Renxiao stood up, furious: "You..."

"Your Majesty, Zhao Guan's family is the current emperor, and they will not treat His Majesty badly."

"If I don't open the city gate today, what will happen to you!"

"Your Majesty wants to disregard the people of the city and the lives of all the ministers. If the city wall of Xingzhou is smashed down and the Song army enters the city, it will not be as simple as surrender."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and said to the officials: "Might all the princes want to take up arms and fight the Song army to the end?"

When he said this, the ministers and nobles who were still shouting bloody battles to the end were immediately moved and fell silent.

There was another one who was very stubborn just now. Hearing that the Song army was able to smash down the city wall, he immediately stood up and said with a different face: "It is not a pity for my minister to die, but the people of Xingzhou, my Daxia people are innocent, and your majesty should put the people first. "

"Yes, yes! Your Majesty should put the people first. It is not a pity to wait for the minister to die, but the people are innocent."

Li Renxiao blushed with anger, and he laughed loudly: "You are talking about common people now, but the soldiers you sent to the battlefield are not ordinary people? When did you care so much about the life and death of the common people?"

No one in the court answered.

"When I knew that the Song army could smash down the city wall and I was about to face the Song army's blade, I began to think about the people. But when the Song army was still a hundred miles away, I forced the people to go to the front line to die!"

Li Renyi's eyes were red, and he was full of anger: "Shameless! You people are shameless to the extreme!"

The ministers looked ugly.

Wei Ming Anhui said: "Through the matter now, why should Your Majesty embarrass the gentlemen, those who know the current affairs are heroes!"

"I don't!" Li Renxiao yelled, "You shameless villains..."

After speaking, he sprayed a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Wei Ming An Hui didn't care about Li Renxiao, but looked brightly at the Empress Dowager Cao who was crying so hard.

Chapter 1099 The Death of Western Xia ([-]rd update)

Li Renxiao was still seriously ill and vomited blood in anger. Although he didn't die, he took half his life.

Wei Ming Anhui said: "Come here, push out the Secretary of the Household Department, Xifeng Keyu, and chop it up."

As soon as he said this, the officials immediately discussed heatedly.

The imperial guards outside the hall came in and took Xi Feng Keyu down.

Xifeng Keyu was furious: "My name is An Hui, what right do you have to kill me!"

Wei Ming Anhui scolded with a righteous face: "We surrendered to the Song Dynasty to protect the people of our Great Xia, but you want to defend the city to the end for your own selfish desires. Injustice, if you don't die, it's not enough to apologize to the world!"

The officials immediately shouted: "Kill Xifeng Keyu, protect the common people!"

"You shameless bastards!" Xi Feng Keyu blushed and cursed angrily, "You will die! You will not have good results!"

Xi Feng Keyu was taken out, his yelling and cursing echoed outside.

Wei's name was Anhui, but he didn't mean to end. He asked Wangchang: "People who are close to Xifeng Keyu all intend to poison the world. They are selfish and harm the people. For the sake of the overall situation, they cannot stay."

"The prime minister is right!"

Wang Chang began to roll the roll, but every time he called a name, he would look at Wei Ming An Hui, if Wei Ming An Hui spoke, he couldn't be killed, if he didn't speak, he would be considered acquiescing.

The officials were frightened and dared not say a word.

The minister who had a close relationship with Xifeng Keyu on weekdays knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but Wei Ming Anhui didn't even bat an eye.

There was a lot of shouting and cursing in the hall, and some people turned around and ran outside the hall, trying to escape, but were stopped by the imperial guards in the hall.

Someone pointed at Wei Ming An Hui's nose and cursed: "Wei Ming An Hui, you have conspired to send King Jin to the front line, but in fact you have already secretly informed the Song dog to kill me Daxia Sheji!"

"You still dare to talk, you don't care about the life and death of the people, you only think about yourself, such a brazen person, what's the use of keeping them, kill them all!"

Groups of people were dragged out, and no matter how much they yelled and scolded, it was of no avail.

The others were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they didn't dare to speak out. They all hoped to follow Wei Ming Anhui to join Da Song to survive.

This is their only chance.

After all the people who should be purged have been purged, Wei Ming Anhui said in a kind tone: "Everyone is righteous, for the sake of the people, let's recite the name together."

Everyone said: "The prime minister is righteous."

The officials dispersed and went out of the palace, and saw that there were headless corpses in the snow outside.

The executioner casually picked up the head on the ground, it was the head of Xifeng Keyu.

Some officials could not help but feel their legs go weak. They remembered that they were still chatting with Xifeng Keyu in the morning, but now Xifeng Keyu's head was in a different place.

Other officials knelt there crying in despair. Seeing their colleagues who used to chat happily, they hurriedly called for help.

But those colleagues avoided it, and no one dared to get close, not even stopping to stay, and quickly dodged like avoiding the plague god.

Human heads fell to the ground in front of the palace.

Wei Ming An Hui walked out of the hall and said to Wang Chang: "The family members of those people, the men will be killed and the women will be confiscated. Remember, they must be killed."

"Do you want to be so ruthless?"

"Do you want to die?"

"Yes! I'll do it right now, sir."

"Go and arrange for someone to collect all the heads. I'm going to see the commander-in-chief of the Song Army."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

Wang often went to arrange the heads, while Wei Ming An Hui went to the harem.

Li Renxiao was in a coma, and the imperial doctor said that Li Renxiao was so angry that he was just in a coma and needed rest.

Empress Dowager Cao was crying in the harem, when Wei Ming An Hui came.

He pushed back the servants and maids on the left and right.

Empress Dowager Cao said: "What else does the Prime Minister want to do?"

Wei Ming Anhui smiled and said: "Queen Mother, now that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are approaching the city, they will enter the city soon, you don't want your majesty to have something to do, do you?"

"Our mother and son have already decided to surrender, is it possible that Song Jun still wants to kill us?"

"How did the Song Army know that you were going to surrender?" Wei Ming Anhui had a wretched smile on her lips, "If you misunderstand, it will lead to death."

"The prime minister saved our mother and son." Empress Dowager Cao immediately begged for mercy.

Wei Ming An Hui walked over, sat next to Empress Dowager Cao, stuck close to her, and said, "Whether it's life or death, I just need a word."

Empress Dowager Cao immediately knew what Wei Ming An Hui wanted to do.

Wei Ming An Hui said: "It's so warm in the empress palace, and the empress dowager still wears so many clothes, isn't it too good?"
