Li Li saw the enemy soldiers digging rivers and blocking cofferdams in the city, and immediately understood what was going on. This trick was used by me when I was conquering Blackwater City, but one was to block the water, and the other was to release the water, as the so-called water can carry the boat and overturn the boat, I didn't expect it to be my turn so soon.

Li Li hurriedly issued an order to inform the people in the city, and quickly moved to a higher place in the city with food and goods, and the wealthy merchants and princes in the city all opened their pavilions and ordered the common people to move in for refuge, and if they violated the order, they would be severely punished. Li Li personally led the soldiers to transfer all the grain and important archives from the government treasury to a Buddhist hall on the mountain south of the city, cut down trees, and made a large number of rafts for backup.

Everything is ready, Li Li felt a little relieved in his heart, and hoped that God would not rain so that he could get through the difficulty. Everything was as Li Li expected, a few days later, the surging Yellow River water, flowing down the moat, into the city's ravines, because the back road of the ravines has been blocked, those ravines were quickly filled, Xingqing Mansion City, into a water country.

Fortunately, the city was well prepared, the people and livestock were properly settled, and there were no problems for the time being, and this situation lasted for a month. Li Li took the time to go home, he really didn't worry about his family, there was such a big thing, there were dozens of people in the family, how could Hartun deal with it alone?

Hatun arranged all the small families in the house to live upstairs, and all the men in the house were sent outside to help the people, and the princess held a child in one hand, and personally took care of food and clothing, not in a hurry, and in an orderly manner. Li Li stood downstairs with water, and looked up to see Hatun holding the child, sitting on a small stool outside the porch, shaking and coaxing, and his heart was hot.

Feng Wu asked, "Why doesn't the prince go up and take a look?"

Li Li said: "No need, with the princess here, there is nothing to worry about." ”

Li Li watched quietly for a while, then turned around and left, the things that need to be worried about in this city are not just a small family. To make matters worse, it finally came for a few days, and it rained heavily, and the water level immediately soared by more than one meter, and many places that could not have been flooded were also soaked in water.

In the middle of summer, many people who had been living in makeshift tents were drenched in the rain, and many people in the city began to fall ill, and a plague epidemic could occur at any time. Li Li was anxious, and what worried Li Li was that due to many days of immersion, part of the city wall began to have traces of collapse, and once the city wall collapsed, the enemy soldiers could attack at any time, and Xingqing Mansion would immediately face the catastrophe of annihilation.

Li Li decided that he could not be trapped like this anymore, it was time to fight against the water, and he led Maizu to climb the city tower in the rain to observe the situation of the enemy camp. When Mu Huali first started to flood the city, he was very proud for a while, he thought that it would not be long before the Western Xia soldiers would obediently bow down and surrender the city.

But more than a month has passed, and the Western Xia soldiers have no intention of showing weakness. In the past few days, it has rained heavily, Mu Huali saw that the water outside the city was very deep, and the city must be miserable, and he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that if he held on for a few more days, the city wall would collapse, and the big thing would be accomplished.

But before he could be happy for a few days, Polu told him angrily: "Father, no, because of the sudden heavy rain, the water level has risen sharply, and the embankment of the Yellow River has been washed away by the flood, and there is water everywhere, and our army is under the embankment, and many soldiers have been drowned. ”

Mu Huali was shocked, hurriedly gave orders, and hurriedly pulled out the camp to temporarily avoid the flood. Li Li saw the enemy soldiers retreating in panic in the city, and he was happy in his heart, this is a good opportunity, there are 60,000 elite soldiers in the city, although it is far inferior to the number of enemy soldiers, but when the enemy's morale is frustrated, he takes the opportunity to chase and kill, and he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Li Li gave the order, opened the city gate, all the soldiers, bravely killed the enemy, Li Li took the lead, took the lead, personally commanded the battle, the Mongolian soldiers were caught off guard, and rushed to meet the battle. In the battle, Maizu saw from a distance that under the banner, a general was holding a big knife, brave and abnormal, and seemed to be a commander. The opportunity was not to be missed, Maizu took the bow in his hand, took aim, and shot an arrow with a whoosh, right in the chest, and the man fell off his horse in unbearable pain.

Li Li was overjoyed, he recognized that the person was the enemy commander Mu Huali, Polu saw that his father was hit by an arrow, hurriedly dismounted, picked up his father, and put it on his horse. Seeing that the commander was injured, the Mongol soldiers had no intention of fighting, covered Polu, and retreated in a hurry. Li Li led the soldiers to pursue the victory, annihilated tens of thousands of enemy troops, and drove the enemy out of the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom.

The Mongol army came with murderous spirits and went away, and Mu Huali was seriously injured and finally died on the way to retreat. When he was dying, he said with regret: "I did not complete the task given to me by the Great Khan, and I am ashamed of the Great Khan." ”

Polu was heartbroken and swore an oath: "If you don't destroy Western Xia, you swear not to be a man." ”

The enemy soldiers retreated, Xingqing Mansion was in ruins, Li Li led everyone to be busy tidying up the river, dredging the stagnant water, and pacifying the people, while sending people back to Li Dewang, the king of Western Xia, who was far away in Xiliang Mansion. Xianzong heard that Li Li had repelled the enemy, and he was very happy in his heart, and secretly thought, it seems that his vision is good, and the inheritance left by his ancestors will be able to continue in the hands of Li Li.

Xianzong was old and old, traveled long distances, and was frightened, as soon as he returned to Xingqing Mansion, he couldn't afford to get sick, and within a few days, he drove to the west. Xianzong left a testament on his deathbed, and it was passed that Li Li, the king of Nanping, succeeded to the throne as the tenth king of Western Xia. At the enthronement ceremony, the ministers were listed and stood on both sides of the main hall, waiting for the new emperor to come to the court. The music sounded, and Li Li held the dressed Hatun and walked on the throne.

Li Li said loudly: "I obey the will and succeed as the king, and I will uphold the will of the previous king and magnify the eternal foundation of my Western Xia Kingdom." From now on, the country name will be changed to Baoyi. Gulbolejin Guo Ganhatun, virtuous and virtuous, gentle and long-cherished, can be an example for all the people, canonized as the princess of Western Xia, and respected with me. ”

Although the Western Xia claimed to be an empire, it was customary to follow the title of the king of the Western Xia of the Song Dynasty emperor during the Northern Song Dynasty, and the ministers bowed their heads and worshiped the king and princess of the Western Xia. Li Qian was in the world, full of ambition, and looked at Hatun and smiled.

Maizu was mixed with the worshipping ministers, looking at the dazzling Hatun, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. When she was young, the innocent little girl who shepherded sheep together, went through hardships all the way, went through hardships, and finally came to the bitter end, and became the princess of Xixia in the world.

Li Li said: "In this battle with the Mongols, the army and the people worked together and united as one, so as to repel the strong enemy and protect our rivers and mountains. Among them, thanks to the captain of the guard, Mai Zu, an arrow hit the enemy marshal Mu Huali, so that the enemy army was leaderless and defeated. Maizu has made great contributions to the country, and I have specially named Maizu as the general of the country as a reward. Maizu stepped forward and knelt down to thank him.

Li Li said: "The battle of Helan Mountain, Asha dare not sacrifice his life for the country, Helan Mountain is a military important place, you can't be without a handsome for a day, I order you to replace Asha dare not be a general, three days later, immediately rush to Helan Mountain to guard, you have to train soldiers and horses diligently, don't be discouraged." ”

Li Li paused for a moment and said: "The Mongols have suffered such a heavy blow, they will not give up, and in time, they will definitely make a comeback, you must not be negligent and relax the morale of the army." ”

Maizu said loudly: "The minister will definitely fulfill his duties and swear to defend Helan Mountain." ”

Prime Minister Gao Lianghui stepped forward and said, "When the new emperor of my lord ascends the throne, he should send an envoy to inform the neighboring countries, especially the Dajin Kingdom. ”

Li Li said: "It is only natural that Dajin has concluded an alliance with our country and exchanged contacts, and I will immediately arrange for the envoys to visit. After the three retreats, Li Li still held Hatun's hand and walked out of the hall.

Hatun said with a smile: "Now that I have retired from the dynasty, I am afraid that I will laugh at others if I hold the hand of my concubine like this." ”

Li Li smiled and said, "I am holding the princess's hand, who are you afraid of laughing at?"

Hatun said: "I just entered the palace, and there are a lot of things, and the concubine doesn't know how to do this princess well." ”

Li Li smiled and said, "I am also the first time to be a king. ”

Li Li's heart was moved, hugged her, Hatun was in Li Li's arms, and said softly: "There is one thing, I want your grace." ”

Li Li smiled and said, "What's the matter with my princess?"

"I want to deliver the wheat feet myself," Hatun said. ”

Li Li's smile froze and let go of Hatun. Hatun said: "Maizu is going to Helan Mountain, I don't know when I can see him again, I want to see him off in person, I don't know if the emperor can agree?"

Li Yan said quietly: "You care about him very much." ”

Hatun sensed Li Li's displeasure: "Don't get me wrong, Emperor, I treat him like a brother in my heart, didn't the emperor personally recommend him? If the emperor doesn't like it, I won't go." ”

Li Li smiled: "It's nothing, Mai Zu has made a great contribution, and you should send it away." ”

Hatun smiled sweetly and kissed Li Yan lightly: "I know that the emperor is not so stingy." ”

Li Li felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she was so happy to be able to go to see Maizu? The horn outside the city was urging people, and the six armies were about to start. Dressed in armor, he led the horse in one hand, quietly watching the beauty in front of him, and the wind blew the golden tassels on the purple cloak, and Hatun stood there, like a dynamic painting.

Maizu took the wine poured by Hatun himself, drank it all, and said, "Princess, please go back, Weichen will say goodbye." ”

Hatun choked up a little: "Brother Maizu, this is going to Helan Mountain, the wind and sand are long, so take care of everything." ”

Maizu turned over and got on the horse, and waved his hands: "Sister Hatun, take care." ”

With a wave of the horsewhip, he didn't dare to stay for a while, for fear that the affection in his heart would fall down the tears in the corners of his eyes. Hatun watched Maizu leave from afar and returned in a huff. returned to his palace and found Li Li waiting for her. Li Li looked at Hatun's red eyes, and a burst of jealousy welled up in her heart, this beautiful princess, who did her tears flow for?
