525. Xia Shu confrontation

The Yuan Dynasty promised to exchange her sister for Princess Pearl to return to the palace, and she is now on her way. I hope you will send troops to Kuizhou as soon as possible to resist the White Horse Army in Shuzhong.

Signature: Zhao Yu.

What Li Wangyuan cares about most is this sister who depends on each other in the capital, and now, it is finally time to meet.

His eyes were fixed on the letter, and the more he looked at it, the more ecstatic he became.

Inside the house, all the old ministers of Western Xia showed puzzled looks.

"What's your name?"

When his eyes were removed from the letter, Li Wangyuan looked at the centurion who delivered the letter, his eyes were still full of excitement.

The centurion seemed to know that the happy event was coming, and there was also joy in his eyes, and he arched his hand: "The last general, Zhuo Luo, and Liu Gang, the centurion of the Southern Army's Division, are the centurions." ”

"Hmm."

Li Wangyuan nodded, waved his hand and said: "You have a great merit in this matter, and go down first, and the commander will be rewarded later." ”

The centurion's face was full of joy, "The last general is the boss Xie." ”

Then he smiled and walked outside. This credit is simply picked up. Moreover, the coach even asked his name, which was undoubtedly a vanity for a centurion like him.

The centurion is just the lowliest-ranking general, how many can be remembered by the commander?

Li Wangyuan, on the other hand, looked at an old man in the room who was old but had extremely deep eyes, and said, "Lord Zhongsun, wait a minute, give this Liu Gang a reward of one hundred taels, and promote him as appropriate." ”

I was afraid that I would have to be over eighty years old, and the old man surnamed Zhongsun hurriedly agreed, "The old minister will take the order." ”

He is the highest ranking among these former ministers of Western Xia. The Western Xia surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty more than 50 years ago, and at that time, he was already a powerful minister in the Western Xia Dynasty.

After receiving the order, he couldn't help but ask Li Wangyuan in confusion, "Why is Your Highness so surprised?" ”

Only these old ministers insisted on calling Li Wangyuan His Royal Highness.

Everyone in the room looked at Li Wangyuan, waiting for his reply. All of them were really curious about it.

Li Wangyuan undoubtedly trusted these old ministers very much, handed the letter in his hand to Zhongsun Qifu, and said happily: "My sister will soon be able to return to our Western Xia." ”

However, some of the people in the room were happy, and some were quite plain.

Li Wangyuan cares about Li Xiushu, which doesn't mean that these old Western Xia ministers all care. In the final analysis, Li Xiushu is just a princess of Western Xia.

And the princess, where will the prince be important?

These former ministers of Western Xia will be loyal to Li Wangyuan because of their loyalty to Western Xia, but they will never be loyal to Li Xiushu.

Since ancient times, women have been called emperors, but they are only Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhongsun Qifu didn't get much excited, handed the letter to the rest of the people, but frowned slightly, and said, "Your Highness, do you really plan to face the White Horse Army in Shuzhong?" ”

If they just went to Lizhou East Road to deter the White Horse Army, they didn't care. But if it really starts, the power of Western Xia will inevitably be damaged, so it has to be cautious.

Li Wangyuan's eyes were full of the looks of everyone in the house, his face was full of joy, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you plan to ignore my sister's life and death?" ”

This is a bit serious.

This frightened the die-hard ministers in the house so much that they didn't dare to say anything.

Lee so-sook is still a princess in the end.

Not caring much and not caring at all are two different things.

If they say they don't care about Li Xiushu's death at this time, doesn't it mean that they don't care about the Western Xia royal family?

It's just that these people are afraid and inevitably sigh in their hearts, Li Wangyuan values this sister too much, and would rather go to war with Shuzhong for this reason, which is really not a decision that an emperor should make.

Your Majesty, how can you not focus on the overall situation?

But it's a pity that apart from him, there is no authentic Western Xia royal family in this world. They don't have a choice.

Speaking of which, the Western Xia was even worse than the Song Dynasty. At least, in addition to Zhao Yu in the Song Dynasty, there was also a Zhao Yu.

Zhongsun Qifu pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness cares about Princess Xiushu, and she is really a model in the world. It's just that...... Will Da Song really send the princess back as agreed? ”

Li Wangyuan groaned.

He really didn't know much about Zhao Dongting, and he really didn't dare to play such a guarantee.

But he then said: "No matter what, let's stop the White Horse Army first." I believe that the emperor of the Song Dynasty would never want to turn against our Western Xia. ”

Although he stays in Dadu all the year round, he still has a little bit of a big picture.

Zhongsun Qifu and the others were silent, and at this time, everyone could see that Li Wangyuan had made up his mind.

And Li Wangyuan's decision is afraid that countless Western Xia soldiers will die on the battlefield. This is all the people that these old ministers have pulled up with great difficulty.

Li Wangyuan didn't make any efforts, maybe he didn't care too much, but those of them who had paid a lot of effort for this undoubtedly cared very much.

There are many people who look at the head of Zhongsun Qifu.

Zhongsun Qifu finally spoke, "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not easy to stop the White Horse Army with our troops!" Lao Chen heard that the White Horse Army had mastered the hot air balloon and thunder technology of the Song Dynasty. With our ordnance, I am afraid that the soldiers will be passive when the time comes. ”

Li Wangyuan's eyes swept over everyone, "Could it be that the generals here read the art of war in vain?" ”

Zhongsun Qifu sighed softly and didn't open his mouth again.

In order to save Li Xiushu, Li Wangyuan can be said to be "terminally ill".

He understood that if he said anything more at this moment, Li Wangyuan would not change his mind.

As a diehard loyalist, he finally obeyed Li Wangyuan's idea.

And Zhongsun Qifu didn't open his mouth, and the rest of the people below naturally didn't speak again.

Soon, the Xixia military camp was busy. A lot of grain and grass was loaded onto the car, and the soldiers were ready to go to Kuizhou.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Wangyuan led tens of thousands of Western Xia troops to leave Bazhou and go to Liangshan in Dekui Prefecture. Further south, Chungju, which had already been captured by the White Horse Army.

At this time, the Yuan army, which had been defeated one after another under the offensive of the White Horse Army, had already gone towards the southwest road of Beijing. In the territory of Kuizhou, there is almost no Yuan army stationed in the city.

The arrival of Li Wangyuan also made the White Horse Army in Deshu continue to converge towards Zhongzhou. It seems that the two sides are afraid of a big war in Chungju.

……

Chaozhou coast of Guangnan East Road - Haimen Village.

Haimen Village used to be a fishing village, and later because of the naval battle, a watchtower was built in the village, and there were soldiers to guard it, and it began to develop gradually.

Up to now, Haimen Village has become a famous port in Chaozhou. Every day, fishing boats, merchant ships, and passenger ships come and go.

It is not far from Quanzhangzhou, Fujian Road.

The Song army has also guarded here.

After the Song Dynasty took over, the new policy was soon implemented in the territory of Guangnan East Road, and although there were certainly moths, it could be regarded as thriving in general.

On this day, an ordinary passenger ship entered the port. After landing in the port, a woman who got off the ship made the soldiers and people around her look dumbfounded.

It was rare for them to see such a beautiful woman.

Big eyes and exquisite faces. Looking at her braids, she should have been an extremely clever girl, but for some reason, the willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, implying sadness and sadness.

And around her, there were dozens of Jianghu people with weapons on their backs.

This only made the people who could see it think in their hearts, "Could it be that this beautiful girl has been held hostage?" ”

But looking at these dozens of people in the rivers and lakes with introverted eyes in their eyes, naturally no one dared to rush up and meddle in their affairs without a head.

Undoubtedly, this group of people is Princess Turandot of the Pearl and Huang Liujia of Wudingtang.

They set out from Leizhou, and after more than 20 days on the coastal road, they are finally close to Fujian Road.

The sea journey is hard, and when you encounter a port, you always have to stop and take a break. Few people can withstand the bumps of a boat day and night.

As for the eyes of the surrounding people, Huang Liujia and the others were also used to it, so they just took Turandot and walked straight to the port.

Turandot's eyes drooped slightly, and he no longer had the lively and arrogant color of his past.

These days, her heart has been tugging. Even if she thought that she was about to return to Dadu, it didn't make her happy at all. She knew about the peace negotiation, but she also heard that before the peace negotiation, the emperor's grandfather actually proposed to let him marry the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. She only felt miserable, how could the imperial grandfather who doted on her so much treat her like this?

But this thing is not groundless. And this was told to her by a minister in the Song Dynasty.

And what is even more hateful is that the little emperor of the Song Dynasty even refused!

Every time he thought of this, the miserable Turandot couldn't help but grit his teeth with hatred.

This princess is extremely talented, but what is it that is not worthy of you as a despicable and shameless villain?

A woman's mind is always so strange.

The hateful, hateful figure flickered in Turandot's head from time to time, until she couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep steadily.
