Chapter 277: Little Fox
The Iron Harriers were forced to surrender.
Because Wang Xiao had people put knives on the necks of Empress Dowager Liang and Li Qianshun, forcing them to drink and order the Western Xia army to surrender.
As the guards of the Western Xia lords, the Iron Harriers either committed suicide or surrendered.
When the sky was slightly bright, Wang Xiao sent a messenger to bypass Yanzhou all the way to Bianliang City with a letter of good news. He can't trust a villain like Lu Huiqing.
This night raid collected tens of thousands of Western Xia prisoners of war, and as for those Western Xia soldiers who ran away, Wang Xiao didn't bother to hunt them down.
All around are the walled cities of the Great Song Dynasty, and they can't run away.
Wang Xiao was not satisfied with this, and returned to Yanzhou with prisoners of war.
Instead, he directly drove the prisoners of war to set off quickly, and went straight to Xingqing Mansion along the route of the Tangut people.
He knew very well that if the opportunity was missed, the Tangut would soon regain a new ruler, and the Liao would respond to support the Tangut.
In this way, it can only be regarded as a great victory, but it will not destroy the country.
Wang Xiao, who was unwilling to let the Western Xia continue to drag the Great Song Dynasty, drove the prisoners of war all the way to Xingqing Mansion.
Along the way, in the name of sending envoys to observe and dispose of the Yanlu Road, he also sent envoys with Li Qianshun's jade seal, dragon robe, and banner to inform the walled cities everywhere, asking them to send troops to join him.
In the face of the glorious victory that the Great Song Dynasty had not seen in a hundred years, many walled cities, including the Zhejia and the Zhuangjia, sent troops and grain, and followed Wang Xiao all the way to Xingqing Mansion.
As for the issue of grain and grass on the road, it is directly collected on the spot. And no one left behind on the road will not wait, just throw it down.
It's all about one thing, and that's speed.
By the time the army rushed all the way to the city of Xingqing Mansion, there was still infighting in Xingqing Mansion over who to appoint as the new lord.
Wang Xiao did not stop at all, just like when he attacked the city along the way before, and drove those Western Xia prisoners of war to fill the city.
Two days later, the city's air-defense-defying Xingqing Mansion was broken.
Almost all of the living forces of Western Xia were taken to attack Yanzhou, and now was the time when they were at their weakest.
The Western Xia royal family in the city, civil and military officials, were almost wiped out by Wang Xiao.
left the Zhejia family and other Western troops to garrison Xingqing Mansion, while Wang Xiao quickly collected the whole city and left.
He didn't want gold, silver and jewelry, but only collected all kinds of archives and files, all kinds of ceremonial utensils, and all kinds of things that represented status.
Drove thousands of relatives of the Western Xia Emperor, civil and military officials, palace concubines, palace maids, etc., detoured to the south and marched towards Bianliang City.
Western Xia died.
The reason why he took a detour was to avoid Lu Huiqing's department, who was chasing after him.
Wang Xiao never intended to share this achievement with anyone.
When he entered Hedong Road, Wang Xiao was no longer in a hurry.
This is the realm of the Great Song Dynasty, and no one will send troops to attack him.
As for Lu Huiqing, he is still bitterly preparing to deal with the threat from Liao in Xingqing Mansion.
Wang Xiao is not a Jin soldier, and he will not do those things that people and gods are angry about.
Although there was no courtesy, at least the safety of the captives was still there.
Stopping and stopping all the way, he continued to receive the envoys sent by Zhao Xu.
Looking at the letter written by Zhao Xu, Wang Xiao could feel the ecstasy and ardent expectation.
The young Zhao Xu may be too excited, too excited. He even said in a letter to Wang Xiao that he would give Wang Xiao the title of king as a reward for his efforts to destroy the country.
Feng Wang or something, Wang Xiao didn't believe it.
He knew that Zhao Xu was just hot-headed. And those people in the court are unlikely to agree.
Wang Xiao has made the contribution of destroying the country, and they are already crazy with jealousy. Do you want to be crowned king? Dream on!
In May of the fourth year of Shaosheng, Wang Xiao, who had been on the expedition for more than a year, finally returned to Bianliang City again.
The emperor personally took hundreds of officials out of the city to greet him, and the royal squad and the forbidden army were brightly dressed and armoured, and they held their heads high and made a mighty appearance.
Since the Great Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, there has not been such a glorious time for more than a hundred years.
At this moment, they seemed to feel the glory of their ancestors.
The people of Bianliang City, who were organized, sang and danced, and the expensive cloth wrapped the big trees on both sides of the road as if they didn't want money, and the whole Bianliang City was full of joy.
Wang Xiao got off the horse and walked forward quickly to salute Zhao Xu.
"Weichen Wang Xiao was ordered to destroy the rebellion. Today, the puppet lord of the Western Thief Li clan is Qianshun, and the puppet Empress Dowager Liang and the thieves have returned to restore their lives. ”
Wang Xiao's voice was very loud, and everyone around him heard it clearly.
There are also people with a loud voice who repeat his words, and the transmission layer by layer is heard by the entire Bianliang City.
Zhao Xu's excited nose and pimples were red.
His grandfather, his grandfather, and his grandfather's grandfather had never had such brilliant achievements.
Since Taizu Taizong, their Zhao family has no martial arts that can be used.
Now, he did.
Not only can you leave your name in history, but you can also walk into the ancestral temple with your head held high.
"Aiqing, hard work."
Zhao Xu's words were very soft, even when facing Concubine Liu Xian, he had never been so gentle.
When Wang Xiao proposed to play last year, Zhao Xu hesitated and almost didn't agree.
And now, Zhao Xu already regards Wang Xiao as his Chen Qingzhi.
Wang Xiao turned sideways and gestured to a carriage behind him.
"Lee's Qianshun, Liang's. Get out of the car and meet the official's family. ”
Countless eyes were on the car.
Since the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Yu, who had a river flowing eastward, he came to Bianliang City with Xiao Zhou. It's been a hundred years since I've seen a big melon that captures the lord of the enemy country.
After waiting for a while, there was a sound of rustling inside. Then the curtain is lifted and the door is pushed open.
Empress Dowager Liang, who was in her thirties, hugged Li Qianshun, who was bowing her head and clenching her fists, and walked down.
The imperial relatives of Western Xia were all dressed in white plain clothes, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the Song people around them.
"The criminal minister Li is smooth, knock to see Your Majesty."
Li Qianshun can be regarded as a hero. It's a pity that before he had time to show his ability, he was completely beaten down by Wang Xiao's chaotic punch.
Now even if I am indignant in my heart, the situation is stronger than people. At this time, I had to bow my head.
"Hmm."
Zhao Xu raised his chin and acted arrogantly.
"You, the Li family, have always been favored by my Great Song. But the wolf is ambitious, and the conspiracy is rebellious......"
Balabala said a long paragraph, proclaiming the national prestige of the Great Song Dynasty and belittling and denouncing the rebellious Western Xia. And finally, the real theme.
"I remember that you are young and ignorant, and I will grant you the position of general of Zuo Qianniuwei, and give you mercy. In the future, you can spend the rest of your life in this Bianliang City. ”
Li Qianshun, whose tears were rolling down, choked up and bowed, "Thank you for the emperor's kindness!" ”
The Liang family on the side, as well as more relatives of the Western Xia Emperor, knelt down to Zhao Xu and bowed, "Thank you for the emperor's kindness!" ”
The documents and files of the Western Xia that Wang Xiao brought back were all put into the library pavilion.
Those illegal ceremonial utensils and so on were all sent to the palace.
The palace maids and attendants were distributed to the palaces. The civil and military officials of the Western Xia were sent to various states and governments for custody.
The royal relatives of Western Xia were all under centralized care and residence, and basically they could only be low-key people in Bianliang City with their tails between their legs in this life.
It depends on whether Zhao Xu and his successors are in a good mood, whether they will give Li Qianshun and them a violent illness and die or something.
Zhao Xu ordered to celebrate for three days.
The treasury was opened, and all kinds of grain cloth and wine utensils were distributed in a big way. Properly rejoicing with the people.
The entire city of Bianliang was plunged into a sea of joy.
A grand celebratory banquet was held in the palace, and Zhao Xu personally took Wang Xiao's hand and walked into the hall. The ministers and hundreds of officials saluted Wang Xiao and congratulated him.
This is the merit of destroying the country, and no matter how great the merit is, it is not as big as this.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Zhao Xu waved his hand to let the singers retreat, and the music class also stopped playing. He asked Wang Xiao, "Aiqing has made such an immortal achievement, what reward do you want?" ”
Wang Xiao put down the wine glass, got up and came to the middle to salute, "Official, Weichen has something important to report." ”
"Oh?" Zhao Xu was a little surprised, what else could there be at this time?" ”
"Weichen impeached Lu Huiqing, the envoy of Yan Yanlu. When Weichen fought to the death in Jinmingzhai, this person did not save him when he saw death. When Weichen defeated the western thief, this person grabbed the merit in a big way. Weichen broke through Xingqing Mansion, and this person rushed all the way to forcibly ask for the city. When Weichen escorted the Li family to Bianliang City, this person cowardly retreated in the face of the Liao army and abandoned a large area of land. Weichen asked the official family to punish his sins! ”
Liao's reaction was actually very fast.
When Wang Xiao broke through Xingqing Mansion, the Liao State's intervention army had already been dispatched.
After that, Wang Xiao went south with the spoils of war and threw the matter of dealing with the Liao State to Lu Huiqing.
In the face of the Liao army, Lu Huiqing did not dare to fight in the field, and still chose to stick to the city. This allowed the Liao army to seize large swaths of the borderless land of Western Xia.
As for why he did Lu Huiqing at this time, it was because Wang Xiao knew what it meant to be a master of high merit.
The Great Song Dynasty was extremely strict with military power.
Just look at the release of military power with a glass of wine, as well as Yue Fei's twelve gold medals.
Wang Xiao must find a strong opponent for himself, so that Zhao Xu can reassure everyone at ease.
There is no doubt that the New Party is the most suitable player for this position.
There are many people in the New Party, and Lu Huiqing, as the former No. 2 boss of the New Party, is very suitable for the operation.
This person has a very poor character, and in order to climb up and frame his mentor Wang Anshi, his reputation can be described as a stinky street.
By taking him lightly, the New Party will not only not rebound, but will take the initiative to help.
"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Cai Bian stood up, "Weichen seconded the proposal." ”
As for why Cai Bian supports Wang Xiao, it is because his wife is Wang Anshi's daughter.
As Wang Anshi's son-in-law, Cai Bian has long wanted to attack Lu Huiqing, a second or fifth boy.
Now that Wang Xiao drove a boat over, he jumped on it without hesitation.
Cai Bian also has a lot of younger brothers.
As soon as he came out, a large group of people behind him came out to second. They all spit on Lu Huiqing as a waste, and they can't keep the land they have beaten down.
Zhao Xu nodded, he was also dissatisfied with Lu Huiqing. After all, the Liao people robbed such a large piece of territory.
Lu Huiqing, who was pitted by Wang Xiao from beginning to end, didn't even have a chance to plead, so her fate and fate were arranged.
After talking about Lu Huiqing, Wang Xiao also officially confronted the New Party.
Then things went back to square one.
"Aiqing."
Zhao Xu pondered for a moment, and finally said, "I am willing to make you the king of the county in order to reward you for your merits." What do you think? ”
If you really want to make me king, then what do you think? Who would say no?
Wang Xiao bowed his hand and saluted, "The ministers thank the officials for their love, and the ministers can't accept this matter." ”
There was a sigh of relief all around.
Only Cai Jing showed disappointment on his face and took a sip imperceptibly.
"Little fox." chaptererror();
