Li Xiushu hurriedly dispersed, and then took Zhongsun Qifu, Heliandong and other ministers to the imperial study.

There were actually extreme realm powerhouses in the Great Xia army, which already made them not like a man, but burning their eyebrows.

Even in the entire Western Xia, there is no one who can resist such a master.

If the Great Xia army does not have firearms, then it is okay, even if there is an extreme situation, it is difficult to reverse the overall situation. But now that the Great Xia army is also equipped with firearms, the power of the Extreme Realm is at the limit. Although it is no longer the era of soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals, the existence of the extreme realm can deeply affect the morale of both sides.

After arriving in the imperial study, Li Xiushu did not mean to discuss with Zhongsun Qifu and others, and directly issued an order: "Taishi, Helian Aiqing, you immediately dispatch the soldiers of the two major armies of Gansu and Xiangqing to defend the imperial city!" ”

As she spoke, she had already picked up the brush on the bookcase and worked the paper.

The two letters quickly took shape.

Li Xiushu handed the letter to the old eunuch next to her again, and said, "Send these two letters to Zhongsun Guge and the Great Song Chengdu Mansion respectively!" ”

The old eunuch hurriedly took the letter and ran outside.

Zhongsun Qifu couldn't help asking: "The emperor wants to defend ...... Zhongxingfu? ”

Li Xiushu asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the Taishi wants me to avoid his edge and escape from the imperial city?" ”

Zhongsun Qifu said: "The enemy army is strong, and the old minister thinks that it is ...... Avoiding it for the time being is not the most thoughtful approach. As long as the emperor is still there, then our Western Xia will not die. ”

"Nope."

Li Xiushu shook her head gently, "Although I am a woman, I must not do such a thing." If I abandon the thousands of people in this Zhongxing Mansion, it will only make the people of the world chill and make them disappointed in the imperial court. In this way, Western Xia does not die, and it is no different from death......"

At this moment, she actually thought of Zhao Dongting.

Since Zhao Dongting led the army from Leizhou to repel the Yuan army, he has never fled.

The Son of Heaven guards the country.

The will of the people is the most important thing in society.

She remembered what Zhao Dongting once told her, the country is broken and the people's hearts are there, especially if it can be restored. If the country is lost in the hearts of the people, it will perish sooner or later.

Li Xiushu can sit firmly in the position of the empress of Western Xia, and she is not an ordinary woman. At this moment, she once again showed her extremely strong side.

Zhongsun Qifu and the others were all moved when they heard this, and there was admiration in their eyes when they looked at Li Xiushu.

Although Li Xiushu is a woman, her heart is really not comparable to her brother Li Wangyuan.

At the same time, the hearts of the ministers also seemed to give birth to a stream of blood.

What about sticking to Zhongxingfu?

Even if the Zhongxing Mansion was broken, they also died well. Even if he dies, when he goes to the underworld, he can still straighten his back and face the previous emperors.

And the result of escaping is really unpredictable.

In the past, the Northern Song Dynasty dominated the country, but in the face of Jin, he sent half of the country and fled to the south to establish the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Southern Song Dynasty met the iron cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty again, and it was a retreat. The emperor was dragged by his ass and fled from east to west, and in the end, he fled to Najizhou Island and almost lost his country.

If it weren't for Zhao Dongting's birth, there would have been no Great Song Dynasty in the world at this time.

This is a bloody example.

Although Zhongsun Qifu said that the withdrawal from Zhongxing Mansion was a well-thought-out strategy, he actually knew in his heart that this could only delay the time when Western Xia was destroyed.

And it's hard to say how long it can be delayed.

After a moment of silence, Zhongsun Qifu only asked Li Xiushu again, "The emperor sent a letter to the Song Kingdom, is he trying to ask the Song Kingdom for help?" ”

Li Xiushu nodded and sighed lightly, "Defending Zhongxing Mansion is just a helpless move, and it is difficult to turn around in the battle situation." Only the Great Song Dynasty may be able to stop these enemy troops......"

"......"

Zhongsun Qifu frowned and said, "The emperor can really be sure that those arms were not provided by the Song State?" ”

Helian Dong and the others were deeply frowning and silent.

The sudden deterioration of the situation left them no time to find out where the firearms in the Great Xia army came from. It also made them unsure what Song Guo's position was.

It may be said that in the entire Western Xia court, only the empress Li Xiushu still believes in the Great Song Dynasty.

Even in such a situation, Li Xiushu still unswervingly chooses to believe in Zhao Dongting.

She said in a deep voice, "I believe in him. ”

Zhongsun Qifu and others could only keep their mouths shut. Then he retired and left the study.

There is no point in saying some things again.

Li Xiushu is betting on the entire Western Xia.

bet that Da Song was their real ally, and bet that Zhao Dongting would not be treacherous to her.

Although Zhongsun Qifu and others clearly knew that if Li Xiushu mistakenly believed in Emperor Song, then Western Xia would be doomed, but what else could they say?

At this time, they had no other choice than pinning their hopes on the Great Song.

Only two days have passed.

Zhongsun Xuanting led the remnants of the army to retreat to Shunzhou City on the southwest side of Zhongxing Mansion.

Defeat at the front followed.

The people in Shunzhou City were panicked.

The officers and men of the Gansu and Xiangqing armies, who were originally located in Dingzhou and Xiangqing Military Division, hurriedly gathered in Zhongxing Mansion.

Western Xia is going to give up the lands and defend Zhongxing Mansion alone.

Although on the surface, this is to abandon the people from all over the world, but in fact it is not the case, but to attract all the military power of Great Xia to Zhongxing Mansion.

After all, the places that were not guarded by the army were actually of little use to the Great Xia Army.

Since the Western Xia army gathered in Zhongxing Mansion, then they only need to take the entire Zhongxing Mansion, which is equivalent to the destruction of Western Xia.

Perhaps this transfer of the Western Xia army is also in line with the wishes of those people in the Great Xia army.

After Zhongsun Guanting led the army to Shunzhou City, Shunzhou Zhizhou went out of the city to greet him.

Originally, there were 80,000 soldiers of the forbidden army, but now, there are only more than 40,000 people left.

Moreover, these soldiers have not been fed for three days.

Their grain was abandoned in the camp, and when they fled in a hurry, they had no time to transport it out.

Fortunately, because the Great Wall is not far from Zhongxingfu, they did not accumulate too much grain there. The Western Xia, who had been recuperating for a long time, was not in danger of running out of food.

This is their territory, and the logistics are still fully guaranteed.

After entering the city, the governor of Shunzhou immediately opened a warehouse to release grain.

The soldiers of the forbidden army, who were full of desolation, were finally able to eat a full meal.

I don't know how many people in the army are crying while gnawing on dry food.

The escape of these few days may be a painful memory that they will never forget in their lives.

Originally, he vowed to attack Hengshandu, but no one thought that in a short period of time, he would fall into such a situation.

Following.

An envoy arrived in Zhongxing Mansion and ordered Zhongsun Xuan Ting to lead the army back to Zhongxing Mansion.

Zhongsun Xuan Ting did not dare to hesitate, and immediately led the way to leave Shunzhou and go to Zhongxing Mansion. Along with them, there are countless Shunzhou people and officials.

At this time, there was already movement on the side of the Great Wall.

After the Great Xia army was hurriedly reorganized, it was already pressing towards this Shunzhou city.

In Zhongxing Mansion, Li Xiushu and others received emergency military information again.

To the north of Xiazhou, there were 20,000 troops in the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro marching south.

Obviously, Great Xia is going to encircle Zhongxing Mansion.

Perhaps, the Yan Military Division and the Xiping Military Division of Heishui Town should also have movement at this time, but the news has not yet reached Zhongxing Mansion.

In the Chengdu Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty.

Deputy Marshal Zhang Guangbao is in charge of Chengdu Mansion.

Night.

Ke Shuyuan, a Western Xia merchant in the city, asked to see him.

Ke Shuyuan's identity is actually not a secret in Chengdu Mansion. Although he was a wealthy businessman, he was actually an "envoy" arranged by Western Xia in Chengdu.

Zhang Guangbao didn't know about the defeat of the Great Wall of the Western Xia Forbidden Army at this time, but because he had dealt with Ke Shuyuan several times, he didn't turn him away.

What he didn't expect was that Ke Shuyuan actually brought Li Xiushu's secret letter.

Just when he saw Zhang Guangbao in the mansion, Ke Shuyuan begged with red eyes: "Please also ask Marshal Zhang to relieve me of the predicament of Western Xia......

I almost didn't cry anymore.

Zhang Guangbao looked at the letter in his hand and was surprised. When I took the letter and read it, it also changed color.

The Western Xia Forbidden Army, with the firearms provided by the Great Song Dynasty, was beaten so miserably by the army of the Military Division of Baima Qiangzhen. This...... This was quite unexpected.

Only Zhang Guangbao knew that Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty were allies, but he did not dare to easily agree to Ke Shuyuan.

It's not something he can make a hasty decision.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Guangbao said to Ke Shuyuan: "This matter ...... I'm afraid that I have to order the emperor. ”

Ke Shuyuan said: "My emperor has sent a letter to Changsha for help!" I also ask Marshal Zhang to make a decision first. Otherwise, my Xixia Zhongxing Mansion is in danger......"

Zhang Guangbao frowned slightly.

I want to talk about "The Reborn Lao Tzu is the Emperor" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
