Chapter 467 Asking for Help
Once again, his eyes came to the Western Xia Kingdom.
Temujin took Zhamu Heqin to lead 200,000 Mongolian troops to appear under the city of Dingzhou unknowingly, and the defenders of Dingzhou City held on for a day and gave up resistance.
Li Qianshun couldn't calm down at this time, and deployed 100,000 troops from the East Road to aid Xingqing Mansion, but the Mongolian army was too powerful, and Li Qianshun had no bottom in his heart, so after discussing it with Qin Huizhi, the prime minister of power, he decided to urgently ask for help from the Song Dynasty.
Above the court, there was a fierce debate about asking for help from the Song Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, by all means, Song Jun is not a good stubble, let Song Jun come over to help at this time, I'm afraid they will come and not leave." Imperial Doctor Li Yu stood up and objected.
"But at this time, it is simply impossible for our Western Xia Kingdom's own army to fight against the Mongol army." Hubu Shangshu Xincai said with a frown.
"The army of the Song Dynasty is coming, if the Mongol army is repulsed, and they don't leave at that time, how can it be good?" Li Yu objected.
"Lord Li, at this time, it is only important for us to solve the siege of the Mongol army in front of us first, if we don't ask the Song Dynasty for help now, will we just watch our country being occupied by the Mongols?" Xincai asked rhetorically.
Li Yu was also asked and couldn't answer, but at this time, the Western Xia Kingdom was weak, and it was impossible not to ask for help from others, he frowned and said: "I only know that the Song Dynasty's heart is not dead, and letting the Song Dynasty come in like this is tantamount to luring a wolf into the room!" ”
Xincai shook his head and said: "Master Li, we are all aware of the problems you are worried about, but the most critical problem now is to solve the problem in front of us first, only in this way, we will not lose the country, besides, now that the Song State is busy fighting with the Jin State, it is not necessarily a question of whether it will send troops, even if it is a force, when the time comes, the Mongolian army will be repulsed, it will definitely be a big injury, and we want to drive them out, isn't it very easy?" ”
The two of them were arguing here, and Li Qianshun was also very irritable in his heart, he frowned and said, "Don't quarrel!" After saying this, he turned his head and asked his prime minister Qin Huizhi, and said, "Prime minister, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Qin Huizhi thought for a while and said to Li Qianshun: "Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty has already sent envoys to inform us of the news of the invasion of the Mongol army, but we didn't care about it at that time, so the situation like today has emerged. ”
Hearing what Qin Huizhi said, Li Qianshun frowned, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, after all, he didn't want to see the envoys of the Song Dynasty at the beginning, which was what Li Qianshun meant, and Qin Huizhi said this now, Li Qianshun would naturally not be happy.
However, Qin Huizhi is definitely a human spirit-like figure, how could he make the emperor unhappy, he changed his words, and then said: "In this way, in fact, the Song Dynasty still wants to help our dynasty, whether they are sincere or false, I think they definitely don't want our Great Xia Kingdom to be destroyed, and when the time comes, they will directly face the Mongol army." ”
Hearing what Qin Huizhi said, all the ministers couldn't help but nodded, of course, some of them agreed with what Qin Huizhi said, and some of them were forced to agree with the position of prime minister, after all, at this time, Qin Huizhi had already become the first powerful minister of the Western Xia Kingdom above 10,000 people under one person.
"What does the prime minister mean?" Li Qianshun asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister means that it is better to ask the Song Dynasty for reinforcements, if you want to come to this time when the Song Dynasty and the Jin State are at war, there will definitely be no time for him to take care of it, and there may not be many people who will come at that time, in this case, it will be conducive to the control of our army." Qin Huizhi said to Li Qianshun.
Li Qianshun heard what Qin Huizhi said, nodded, and said, "Yes, the prime minister's analysis makes sense. ”
"What is the opinion of the ministers?" Li Qianshun then asked rhetorically.
At this time, the emperor and the prime minister have already agreed, and the ministers below will not continue to insist even if they are stupid at this time, and there is no point in insisting, after all, at this time, the army is pressing, and they have no other way.
Therefore, the Western Xia Kingdom sent envoys in a hurry, ready to ask the Song Dynasty to send troops to rescue.
However, the Song Dynasty is still thousands of miles away from the Western Xia Kingdom after all, even if the army of the Song Dynasty really wants to come, it is estimated that it will take a while, and Li Qianshun also needs to ensure that Xingqing Mansion is not broken during this time.
But it's not easy to do that.
Xingqing Mansion has not suffered from the baptism of war for so many years, the city wall is not very thick, nor is it very high, the Mongol army did not attack the city on the first day, but used hundreds of cannons, of course, the cannon at that time was a stone-throwing cart, which was filled with large stones.
I used these stone-throwing trucks to throw a whole day at the city wall of Xingqing Mansion, a day's time, and then look at Xingqing Mansion, the city wall of Xingqing Mansion has already been full of holes at this time, the original battlements on it have basically been smashed away, the city wall is full of stones, of course, the soldiers above have already withdrawn at this time, otherwise these people are estimated to have become meat mud.
However, after the stone thrower stopped, the soldiers of the Western Xia Kingdom still hurried up to clean up the battlefield, at least to clear the stones out of a road, otherwise when the Mongol army attacked, their people might not even have a place to stay.
At this time, the people of Xingqing Mansion also showed their patriotic enthusiasm, spontaneously organized, and helped the army to sort out the stones and repair the city wall.
In this way, there was a thrilling night, and the next day, the Mongolian army came again, and today the Mongolian army did not use the stone throwing machine again, they surrounded Xingqing Mansion, and then shouted inside.
"Tell your Emperor His Majesty to come out for peace talks, otherwise we will attack with a large army and set foot on your Xingqing Mansion!" The soldiers of the Mongol army shouted inside.
The news soon spread to the court of the Western Xia Kingdom.
The pot exploded above the court, and Li Qianshun's face was a little ugly.
"Your Majesty, don't pay attention to the shouts of the Mongolians outside, at this time, how can you let Your Majesty go out for peace talks, isn't that sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?" Prime Minister Qin Huizhi saw Li Qianshun's ugly face at this time, and hurriedly said.
