1239. The situation changed abruptly
It's just that these obviously don't have much to do with his Zhongsun Xuan Ting.
Tuoba Xiong, Wu Deng and others escaped from Zhongxing Mansion, and after a cursory look at the surroundings, Zhongsun Xuan Ting just hurried towards the palace again.
Li Xiushu was unexpectedly furious when she learned of this, and even angrily denounced Zhongsun Zhou Ting for being incompetent.
Zhongsun Xuan Ting did not dare to refute half a sentence, but just asked Li Xiushu to surrender his guilt.
But in the end, Li Xiushu did not blame him.
Zhongsun Xuanting didn't know that when he left, Li Xiushu's expression was not very solemn.
Although this battle Tingchaofu lost many masters, it only made her sad.
For example, Tuoba Xiong's people fled from the city, but it didn't make her feel much anxious.
The cancer of the four major military divisions must be uprooted. Regardless of whether these people leave Zhongxing Mansion or not, in the end, the two groups will not be able to avoid a life-and-death situation.
It's just that now that these people have left Zhongxing Mansion, the artificial rebels of the four major military divisions no longer have any worries.
Not long after Zhongsun Guanting left, Li Xiushu sent a message to Changsha again.
She wrote in the letter that she asked Zhao Dongting to set up a bureau to destroy the four major military divisions.
In fact, speaking of which, the escape of people from major families from Zhongxing Mansion is not entirely a bad thing for Li Xiushu.
Because only when the four major military divisions completely fall into Xia, the Western Xia army will be even more unable to fight with the Song army. This battle of Song and Xia, before it began, the outcome was already predictable.
Western Xia will be defeated.
And this is exactly what Li Xiushu wants.
She knew that only by submitting to the Song Dynasty could the Western Xia continue.
And only when Western Xia faced a desperate situation, Zhongsun Qifu and those old ministers would willingly surrender to the Song Dynasty in a desperate situation. At that time, it can only be said that the general trend is the same, no wonder she Li Xiushu.
A few more days passed.
Although Zhongxing Mansion sent many forbidden troops and masters out of the city to search, it was no longer able to find any trace of Tuoba Xiong's people.
The major families have an intricate relationship in this Western Xia, and leaving Zhongxing Mansion is a dragon entering the sea, and it is obviously not easy to catch them again.
Inside the city of Changsha.
Zhongsun Guge took Li Xiushu's letter and asked to see Zhao Dongting again.
Because he learned that the four major military divisions had overthrown the Song Dynasty, his face was gloomy. Goodbye Zhao Dongting, that is, even the previous hysterical confidence is no longer available.
Obviously, even he thought that Western Xia would lose this battle.
When Zhao Dongting saw him like this, of course, he deliberately made a triumphant appearance.
Before Zhongsun Guge could speak, Zhao Dongting said, "Lord Zhongsun came up to ask for surrender on behalf of the emperor of the Gui Dynasty?" ”
Zhongsun Guge only snorted softly, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Then he took out Li Xiushu's letter from his sleeve robe and handed it to Zhao Dongting, and only said bluntly: "This is the letter that the emperor asked me to transfer to you." ”
Zhao Dongting smiled lightly and took the letter.
I took it apart and looked at it.
There was no surprise in his eyes.
When he first learned that the four major military regions had surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, he expected that the major families would make moves in Zhongxing Mansion.
They couldn't have abandoned their families in the city.
It's just that he didn't think that the major families would make such a big move.
In the letter, Li Xiushu described in detail the process of the major families breaking out of Zhongxing Mansion.
The two sides have a total of more than ten True Martial Realms falling, which makes Zhao Dongting feel a little heartbroken for Li Xiushu and Li Goxiao Niang.
After all, this is their foundation.
But of course, he doesn't take it too seriously.
After groaning a little, Zhao Dongting just waved his hand and asked Zhongsun Guge to leave.
Then he went back to the dormitory.
Western Xia should be able to say that the overall situation has been decided.
Outside Chengdu.
She Tuoli, Tuoba Wu, Sikong She, and Wu Ge learned that the clansmen had successfully escaped from Zhongxing Mansion, and no longer had any doubts, they officially erected the anti-Xia banner.
This is not just the inverted empress, but completely standing on the opposite side of the Western Xia Kingdom.
Then, the four of them led their soldiers towards Longzhou City. It has the intention of confronting Helian City and Qu Rujian's army.
This incident soon caused a stir in the territory of Western Xia.
After Qu Rujian and Helian Cheng led their troops to approach Longzhou City, they did not dare to go south again. The whole army was stationed in Qingchuan County, north of Longzhou City.
In this battle of Western Xia attacking the Song Dynasty, before they reached the territory of the Song Kingdom, they could only be broken and turned into defense.
But there is no way around it.
Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian both know very well that the four major military divisions have surrendered to Song Guo, and they are still going to Chengdu Mansion now, which is to kill themselves.
In the Western Xia Dynasty, everyone was in danger.
Empress Li Xiushu was a little disillusioned after learning about this.
Because she only thought that the four major military divisions would want to abolish her throne, but she never thought that the four major military divisions would choose to overthrow the Song Dynasty.
The situation changed dramatically.
In the case of the four major military divisions overthrowing the Song Dynasty, Mo said that the armies led by Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian were all the troops of the entire Western Xia combined, and it was difficult to resist.
If Zhao Dongting was willing, he could take advantage of this opportunity to destroy Western Xia without much effort.
He could even take over all parts of Western Xia with great ease.
Li Xiushu was still a little worried in her heart.
is worried that Zhao Dongting will no longer act with her according to the original layout. I am worried about whether Zhao Dongting can still stick to his original intention in the face of such a great opportunity.
Because if Zhao Dongting wants to seize the ruling power of Western Xia now, she will no longer have the strength to resist.
After receiving the letter from the front line, Li Xiushu hurried to the main hall to summon the ministers of the court.
When all the ministers gathered in the main hall, they learned that the four major military divisions raised the banner of the Xia Dynasty, and all of them changed color.
In the face of the absolute strength gap, it is difficult for anyone to have luck in their hearts.
Li Xiushu sat on the throne and spoke softly, "The four major military divisions have fallen to the Song State, and my Western Xia has reached a precarious time, what good strategies do you have?" ”
The ministers of the court looked at me, I looked, and finally their eyes fell on the face of Zhongsun Qifu.
However, this time, Zhongsun Qifu leaned his back slightly, but he was only silent.
With the current situation in Western Xia, it is difficult for him to have a solution. Unless it is the emergence of a genius like the Emperor of the Song State in Western Xia.
But in charge of all dynasties, how could there have been such a figure as the Emperor of the Song Kingdom?
Even if Western Xia can have military wizards, but in the case of a huge gap in firearms, it is impossible to think about it.
This matter has undoubtedly developed so far beyond the expectations of these courtiers.
They originally supported the empress's use of troops, but they just wanted to declare their position to the Great Song Dynasty, and they never thought about really breaking the net with the Great Song Dynasty.
But now, it is difficult to ride a tiger.
The Great Song Dynasty has the advantage, and it is difficult for them to occupy it.
After a long time, a minister in the palace said: "Your Majesty, otherwise let's ask for peace with the Song Kingdom......
After speaking, he sighed softly.
Li Xiushu's willow eyebrows immediately rose upside down, "Our army has not yet invaded the Song Dynasty, so if you seek peace, won't you become a laughing stock in the world?" ”
At this time, Helian Dong, who was the doctor of Yushitai, finally opened his mouth and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, if there is a fight, we will not be able to sue for peace again, I am afraid it will not be easy." ”
His face was extremely solemn.
In his mind, Mo said that it was a fight, and even now, there was little hope that Song Guo would agree to them to sue for peace.
As for what to maintain the dignity of Western Xia, it is now just a joke.
Wouldn't it be stupid to let the country perish for the sake of dignity?
Li Xiushu's heart moved slightly.
She never thought that these old ministers would have the intention of seeking peace now.
If this is the case, maybe the layout of her and Zhao Dongting can be realized more easily.
Her eyes fell on Zhongsun Qifu's head, and said, "Taishi, what do you think?" ”
Zhongsun Qifu raised his head lightly and sighed lightly, "If you don't fight, the country will lose face, and if you fight, the mountains and rivers will be broken......"
Li Xiushu said: "What do you mean, Taishi...... Do you also want me to make peace with the Song Kingdom? ”
Zhongsun Qifu could only express his position, "The old minister thinks that as long as Song Guo does not put forward too many conditions, seeking peace now is the right choice." ”
Lee so-sook fell silent.
All the ministers in the palace looked at her, waiting for her to make a statement.
Helian Dong and Zhongsun Qifu both chose to sue for peace with the Song State, and of course they would not raise any objections.
After all, the situation on both sides is now clear to everyone.
After a long time, Li Xiushu sighed softly, "Then ask the Great Song Dynasty for peace......"
When I say this, I'm afraid I'm laughing in my heart.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Xiushu brought Helian Dong and Zhongsun Qifu to the imperial study, and then sent a message to Changsha again.
