The subjects of the Western Xia Kingdom faced a great threat. The unfortunate news came one after another, and the prefectures and cities fell one after another, and Xingqing Mansion fell into a state of isolation. In late March, Genghis Khan's army approached Helan Mountain.

When Genghis Khan heard that it was the general who was stationed here who shot his beloved general Mu Huali, he immediately personally supervised the formation, ordered the soldiers, and attacked with all their strength to avenge Mu Huali, and wanted to capture Maizu alive and break his body into ten thousand pieces.

Under the strong impact of the Mongol army, the Western Xia soldiers could not resist and were defeated. Around Maizu, there were sacrificed soldiers, and Helan Mountain had been wiped out. Seeing the Mongolian soldiers approaching step by step, Maizu was fearless, regarded death as home, and cut down the Mongolian soldiers who pounced first.

The broadsword in his hand ran down the blade, dripping the crimson blood of his enemies. Genghis Khan looked at this brave general covered in blood, in a desperate situation, still calm and calm, a sense of hero cherishing heroes made him respect Maizu, he waved his hand to stop Polu, who was eager to avenge his father, and said: "Are you the Maizu who shot my favorite general Mu Huali?"

Maizu said loudly: "It's me." ”

Genghis Khan said: "Ben Khan cherishes you as a good man, and if you are willing to surrender to Ben Khan, Ben Khan can spare your life and entrust you with important tasks." ”

Maizu laughed contemptuously: "How can I surrender to you Mongolian Tartars, my dignified Western Xia man." ”

Maizu suddenly raised the broadsword in his hand and threw it at Genghis Khan, and because the distance was too far, the broadsword fell to the ground a few meters away from Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan frowned, and the Mongol soldiers swung their spears and approached Maizu, who was about to fall into the hands of the enemy in front of him, so he turned around and jumped into the cliff. The process of landing was the last moment of his life.

At that moment, what appeared in front of him was the eleven-year-old girl, and she said seriously: "Don't lie to me, you must marry me in the future." ”

"Harton, I've never lied to you. Maizu thought to himself.

At the end of February and March, Xingqing Mansion finally came to the city, although it was a lonely city, it was also the most difficult capital to capture. Genghis Khan learned the lesson of the defeat of Muhuali last time, and was not busy attacking, and ordered to camp outside the city.

The army fought all the way and needed to rest, and the city was in a panic, and Gao Lianghui stood guard in the castle tower, with the guards, day and night. Li Li looked at the endless enemy camp outside the city, and felt deep worry, this time it is not comparable to the last time, I don't know if this time can escape the catastrophe?

If the country is destroyed, how can he be worthy of the people of Li and the ancestors? He finally realized that the first emperor Xianzong said that he was working hard as an emperor, and that he was burdened with the lives of thousands of people. Looking at the direction of Helan Mountain, he knew that Maizu had been martyred, and he had deep respect for Maizu. The wheat foot is worthy of Hatun, worthy of himself, and worthy of the people of the Western Xia Kingdom. As the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom, he has the responsibility to protect the people of Xingqing Mansion from the destruction of enemy soldiers.

Gao Lianghui was a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he was supposed to be at home for the rest of his life, but he was still guarding the city here and the enemy was pressing the border, so who could stay out of the way? Three days later, Genghis Khan launched his first large-scale attack. Li Li personally commanded the soldiers to resist at the head of the city, and the whole city, men, women and children, worked together, carried stones and gunpowder, relied on the strong city wall as a fortress, and finally defeated the strong attack of the Mongol soldiers.

Genghis Khan ordered a suspension of the offensive and counted the battlefield, Genghis Khan found that the casualties were not small, and it seemed that as the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, a strong attack was not the way. Genghis Khan was not in a hurry at all, Xingqing Mansion was isolated and helpless, it was already in the palm of his hand, and it was only a matter of time before he could take it, so why sacrifice the lives of soldiers for the prey that was about to arrive.

Genghis Khan ordered to stop the siege and adopt siege tactics to force the enemy to surrender. A few days later, Genghis Khan sent a thousand households to persuade him to surrender.

Standing on a high lookout in front of the camp, Chahan shouted to the city: "You are isolated, surrender quickly." If you surrender, my Great Khan will spare, and you will spare the lives of the people of a city, and you are not afraid of life and death, and do you not care about the life and death of the people?"

Li Li said angrily: "The subjects of the Western Xia Kingdom would rather die than surrender. ”

In March and May, the weather gradually became hotter, outside the city of Xingqing Mansion, hundreds of thousands of garrisons, endless tents, making Genghis Khan's scorching heat unstoppable, he decided to go to the Liupan Mountain Qingshui Palace not far from here to escape the summer, which is adjacent to the Yellow River, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is an excellent place to escape the summer.

Genghis Khan ordered his third son, Wokotai, to lead the people to continue to trap Xingqing Mansion, and he moved to Qingshui with his fourth son Tuo Lei and several generals. In the city of Xingqing Mansion, it has gradually become unsustainable, first of all, there is a shortage of food, and even the guards guarding the city can not eat enough, from the royal family to the common people, they can only maintain the most basic life needs with gruel every day.

The old and frail old minister of the Three Dynasties, Gao Lianghui, finally couldn't support it anymore and fell on the tower he was holding onto. When he was dying, he grabbed Li Li's hand and burst into tears: "The world is favored by the emperor, and it can't eradicate the trouble, so if Kou Shen is like this, what is the use of life." ”

Li Li held Gao Lianghui's hand and cried bitterly: "Gao Qing, who do you want me to rely on?" ”

When he returned to the palace in the evening and saw Hatun, Li Li was so sad that he hugged her and wept to his heart's content. Hatun silently embraced her husband, hating only that she had saved Temujin so much that Temujin had broken through his home today, threatening his children, his dear husband, and his poor people. If he could, how Hartun would have wanted to kill Temujin with his own hands to atone for his guilt.

Suddenly, there was a dizziness, then there was a violent shaking, the tables and chairs were shaking, and Hatun and Li Li woke up from their grief that it was an earthquake. The two of them quickly ran to the dormitory, ran to the door of the dormitory, and breathed a sigh of relief, the palace people had led the child to the open place in the garden in time.

The garden was full of panicked people, but fortunately the palace was solid, and most of the houses were unharmed, except for a few that collapsed. But even the houses that didn't collapse became full of cracks, and I don't know when they will collapse.

Li Yi looked at the sky and roared, his heart full of despair: "God, do you really want to destroy my Western Xia?"

The palace people were crying, the grief spread, unable to stop, it was easy to pass a busy night, the sky was slightly bright, Li Qian led the ministers, and hurriedly rushed to the city wall. He feared that the city walls would collapse, and the prosperous capital would be unrecognizable overnight, with collapsed houses and ruins everywhere along the way. The surviving people called for their children, and the bereaved children called for their fathers and mothers, which made people cry.

The ministers were silent, a kind of desperate fear deeply surrounded everyone, fortunately, the city wall was unhindered, and the enemy soldiers could be blocked for the time being, but the ammunition and food were exhausted, the mountains and rivers were exhausted, what to resist the invincible enemy?

Wokotai sent someone to surrender in the distance, and with a gloating expression, he shouted loudly: "Surrender, don't resist stubbornly, if you wait any longer, it will be a dead end." ”

Li Li was silent, and some ministers hesitated again and again, and said: "We can't hold on, it's better to surrender, maybe there is a way out." ”

Li Li looked at him and didn't say anything. If you can hold on to one day at a time, he thought helplessly, but after the earthquake, the aftershocks continued, and the people in the city no longer had a complete house to accommodate.

The living no longer had the strength to dig out the dead bodies under the rubble, and the corpses were left to decompose on their own in the hot summer, and the smell of dead bodies filled the city. Soon the plague epidemic, a large number of soldiers and civilians fell ill, and Xingqing Mansion completely lost the ability to fight and defend. Faced with a desperate situation, Li Li had to consider surrendering to the enemy.

After the deliberations of his ministers, Li Li made the painful decision to surrender to the Mongols. However, the Mongols needed a guarantee that they would never harm the lives in the city, otherwise they would rather burn the jade. Ogedai readily agreed, and in exchange, in order to express the sincerity of the surrender of the king of Western Xia, he had to offer gold, silver, jewelry, and the princess. Everywhere they went, it was a Mongol habit to capture booty.

And the woman is part of the spoils of war, and only the capture of the most noble woman of the enemy can be a victory in the full sense of the word. Everywhere Genghis Khan went, he wanted to occupy the women of the defeated country, and in his opinion, this was a matter of course. There is also a meaning, that is, in this way, let the seeds of Genghis Khan spread all over the world, and let the world become the world of the Mongols.

So much so that nine hundred years later, there are 16 million people in the world, with Genghis Khan's genes. When Li Li heard the report, he was furious, and it was nothing to sacrifice gold, silver and jewelry, but he wanted him to sacrifice the princess, and he would rather die than obey, and the surrender was delayed. Although Li Li hid it from Hatun, Hatun still knew.

Because many ministers secretly met her and told her the reason why Li Li refused to surrender, for her as a woman, regardless of the safety of the people in the city, Hatun was a sinner. Hartun had a plan in mind, but her plan needed someone to explain her completion.

That night, Hatun dressed himself up carefully, prepared a few dishes, and waited for Li Li's return. Li Li was a little strange when he saw Hatun so solemn: "Is today an important day?"

Hatun was as tender as water, half blaming and half shy: "The emperor doesn't want to think about it, how long has it been since he was close to his concubines?"

Li Li smiled and said a little apologetically: "These days, I am in a bad mood and there are too many things, so don't be surprised if I snub the princess." ”

Hatun brought Li Li a glass of wine, full of affection: "The concubine is favored by the emperor, and the three lives are lucky, if there is an afterlife, the concubine is still willing to be the emperor's woman, life after life, never separated, please drink this cup to the emperor." ”

Li Li took the wine with emotion, thinking to himself that on the day the country was broken, the jade would be burned, so he had to be husband and wife again in the next life. Tilt your neck and drink. After the hot wine was down, Li Li's eyes blurred, thinking that he had not drunk for many days, and he was becoming more and more overwhelmed. Hatun helped Li Li to lie down on the bed, gently took off his clothes for him, Li Li's heart was hot, hugged Hatun, kissed her lips, Hatun greeted Li Li's enthusiasm wholeheartedly, and a line of tears quietly slipped down.
