1256. The Empress leaves the palace
Helian Cheng watched Zheng Yihang leave and opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't stop him.
Oh, yes......
What qualifications do they have to question the Great Song Forbidden Army?
What is the reason for others to help at the cost of their own affairs?
Besides, the Great Song Dynasty has actually done its best to the Western Xia, isn't it?
Eventually, Helian City just walked out of the city in gloom.
The back looks extremely desolate.
This is their Western Xia civil war. This mess can only be cleaned up by themselves.
After returning to the army, Helian Cheng looked at the exhausted soldiers, and then looked at the countless corpses around him, and he couldn't help but feel a little powerless in his heart.
With the few soldiers they have survived now, they can't even clean up the battlefield.
After that, he had no choice but to lead his army into the city.
In the case that the Great Song Forbidden Army did not leave, the defenders of the four major military divisions in the city did not resist and surrendered to the Western Xia Forbidden Army.
Helian City mobilized the people in the city to help clean up the battlefield.
It's not just about the military.
The city is littered with corpses, and if the weather is hot again, it will inevitably cause a plague. When the time comes, don't say that this Longzhou City, that is, the entire Western Xia, may suffer from it.
Although Zheng Yihang said that the Great Song Dynasty was not obliged to help the Western Xia, he still led many soldiers out of the city to help the Western Xia forbidden army clean up the battlefield.
The bodies of both sergeants were piled up and burned to ashes.
The remaining blades, armor, and so on, piled up outside the city.
It took two days to clean up the battlefield.
At this time, the Zhongxing Mansion in Western Xia had already received a front-line military report.
Li Xiushu and Zhongsun Qifu and others are all clouded in their hearts.
Although the armies of the four major military divisions were all wiped out, their family foundations were almost emptied.
When Li Xiushu announced this matter in the main hall, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall were full of sorrow. Someone was crying.
Others were as angry as Helian Cheng and scolded the Great Song Dynasty.
"Shut up!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing these scoldings, Li Xiushu actually shouted sternly.
Her eyes were full of anger, and she said: "It is already benevolent and righteous for the Song State to be able to help each other, how can you force the Song State to help us in our own affairs in Western Xia?" ”
She gritted her teeth and said, "The four major military divisions are internal thieves!" If it is to be destroyed, it should be destroyed by our Western Xia! What are you crying and complaining about? With this strength, you might as well give me a good idea of how to wipe out all the big clans of the four major military divisions next! We have them in Western Xia, and I have always sat unsteadily on the throne. ”
Her sudden anger caused the crying in the temple to cease suddenly.
After a long time, Zhongsun Qifu suddenly came out of the ranks.
He arched his hand at Li Xiushu and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the matter of destroying the four major military divisions should not be rushed. Although the forbidden army suffered heavy losses, and the old ministers were also eager to get rid of the great trouble in Western Xia, they ...... Our national strength is no longer able to support us to continue our conquest. The old minister thinks that in order to recover the four major military divisions, we should first revitalize the army, raise grain and grass, and then ensure that the people in the territory live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Li Xiushu groaned and sighed softly, "I also know that the old lady is reasonable, but this evil breath is really hard for me to swallow!" When will you get it when you want to regroup? ”
Zhongsun Qifu said: "Now that we have bowed down to the Great Song Dynasty, why don't we send an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty to ask for assistance?" ”
Then, without waiting for everyone to speak, he immediately said: "Although it is unlikely that the Great Song Forbidden Army will help us on the expedition, in terms of financial and material resources, we may be able to provide some assistance. ”
All the ministers in the court looked at him, and some nodded lightly unconsciously.
With the current situation in Western Xia, and with the current foundation of their empress group, if they want to destroy the four major military divisions, they really have to ask the Great Song Dynasty for help.
After all, although the armies of the four major military divisions were completely wiped out, their foundations in their respective nests were not overturned.
With their painstaking efforts over the years, the major military departments must still have good strength.
All of them had dealt with the Tuoba family and She Tuojia of the four major military divisions before, and they also had some understanding of their background.
It can even be said that the Empress Group, which is based on the two military divisions of Gansu and Xiangqing, is actually inferior to the four major families.
If it weren't for Li Xiushu's design to put all the important figures of those families under house arrest in Zhongxing Mansion, perhaps at this time, she, the emperor, would have been dragged off the horse a long time ago.
After listening to Zhongsun Qifu's words, Li Xiushu didn't know what she was thinking, but said: "Then I will go to Changsha in person!" ”
Anyway, she didn't give the ministers in the palace a chance to object, and said: "When I am not there, all major affairs in the court and China are decided by the Taishi. Make every effort to mobilize the armies of Lintao, Fengxiang, and Lizhou to Xiangqing and Gansu, and strictly prevent the people and dogs of the four major military divisions from jumping over the wall! Since we don't have enough strength to destroy them at the moment, let's defend the foundation first, and when the army is regrouped, I will personally conquer them, so that I can truly unify Western Xia! ”
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
In fact, some of the courtiers wanted to persuade Li Xiushu not to go to Changsha, but Li Xiushu said everything about this, and they could only swallow the words back into their stomachs.
They only thought that the emperor had a great relationship with the Great Song Emperor, and he should have gone in person to get more help.
On this day, Li Xiushu, the empress of Western Xia, left Zhongxing Mansion and went to Changsha before Helian Cheng led the army back to Zhongxing Mansion.
In order to rush to Changsha as soon as possible, she even brought only a few female sword officers and a few masters of Tingchaofu.
Naturally, she will not show herself as the empress of Western Xia.
Outside the city of Longzhou.
The corpses that were originally full of eyes had been cleaned up by this time.
Helian Cheng led the remaining soldiers to be stationed in Longzhou City temporarily, intending to lead the army back to Zhongxing Mansion after the aftermath was properly handled.
Zheng Yihang and Batong will not continue to stay here, and lead the army to leave Longzhou City and return to Chengdu Prefecture.
The war in Western Xia was completely over.
Da Song is undoubtedly the biggest winner.
It seems that Da Song seems to be playing the most unbearable role in this war. But people with a little vision know that the emperor of the Song State has taken special care of the Western Xia.
Because the Great Song Dynasty had every chance to take advantage of the situation to win the entire Western Xia, and it was almost a chance to win.
Even many people don't understand why the Great Song Emperor gave Western Xia such an opportunity.
At the beginning, it was the Great Song Dynasty that helped Western Xia. And this time, it was the Western Xia who took the initiative to declare war on the Great Song Dynasty.
Emperor Song's actions can be said to be repaying grievances with virtue. This falls in the eyes of many people, and I am afraid that there are some women's kindness.
As a monarch, it is only natural that he should expand his territory in the face of such a great opportunity.
Only what these people think, Zhao Dongting will not care, and the Great Song Forbidden Army will not care either.
In the minds of the Great Song Forbidden Army, Zhao Dongting was already like a god. Whatever he says, whatever he makes, it must be right.
Two days have passed.
Zheng Yihang and Batumi led the iron cavalry back to Chengdu Mansion.
Liu Zhuwen and others had already learned the news of the end of the war at this time, and they only heard a more detailed process from the mouths of Zheng Yihang and Batumi.
This made them sigh softly.
But this sigh is not due to the loss of troops in Western Xia. And just because of the loss of so many lives.
Subsequently, Liu Zhuwen dismissed the officers and men of the various armies in Chengdu Prefecture and returned to the military region.
At the border of Lizhou East Road, at this time, Yue Peng also received the news that the Western Xia Forbidden Army had annihilated the army of the four major military divisions.
This undoubtedly made him a little crying and laughing.
He led his army from Xiangyang Mansion to here, and after wandering out for such a long time, he didn't even go to the battlefield in the end.
But this also made him feel a little happy.
Where there is a conquest, there is a loss.
Although their trip was in vain, there was no loss other than the consumption of some grain and grass.
After learning the news, Yue Peng also led Tianjie, Tianyong and other troops back to Jingnan Road and other places.
Time flies.
When there was an uproar on the Western Xia side, there was no movement in the Yuan Dynasty. It seems that he was scared by the Great Song Forbidden Army.
But in reality, he was secretly trying his best to make firearms.
It is very ambitious to get the real gold of the manufacturing methods of such sharp weapons as grenadiers and dragon guns, and I hope to have enough firearms as soon as possible, and then I will be ashamed.
The monarchs and ministers of the Yuan Dynasty can be said to be all of them saving energy.
