Chapter 444 Soldiers are coming to the city
When Li Ran heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and send someone to Xingqing Mansion for help." ”
So the scout came in a hurry, but now that he came, he was not allowed to enter the city.
Outside the city gate, the scout waited anxiously, but he was in a hurry, but the people on the city wall were not in a hurry, at this time the palace gate was closed, and the general guarding the city was not qualified to face the saint directly, so he first passed the news to the Privy Council.
After receiving the news, Liu Yuan, the privy envoy of the Privy Council, was taken aback, and hurriedly entered the palace overnight to face the saint.
Li Qianshun had already fallen asleep at this time, and he was broken into the palace overnight for two consecutive days, and his face was a little not good-looking.
"Lord Liu, what important thing happened that made you so anxious that you came to the palace overnight to see me?" Li Qianshun said without being salty.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong, there is an urgent report from Dingzhou City, saying that a large number of Mongolian troops have appeared in the north, and now the troops are coming to the city, and Dingzhou City urgently requests support." Liu Yuan said anxiously to Li Qianshun.
When Li Qianshun heard the news, he was still lying on the bed leisurely, but at this time, he sat up directly, frowned and said, "What did you say?" How so? The army of Mongolia is coming? How did they get here? ”
Li Qianshun asked so many questions in a row, which made Liu Yuan a little confused, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to send reinforcements to reinforcements, there are only more than 30,000 defenders in Dingzhou City, and the Mongolian army is menacing, I don't know if they can withstand it." ”
"The specific situation, the scout is still outside, and the minister has just ordered the city gate to be opened and let him in, thinking that he will be able to come over soon." Liu Yuan said to Li Qianshun.
Li Qianshun began to walk back and forth in the house, scouting over, just to deliver a message, but how to deal with it next, Li Qianshun needs to think.
Originally, in order to prevent the sudden attack of the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia Kingdom concentrated the main forces of the whole country in the east, and now it is too late to retreat.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that now after the death of Feng Renduo Baozhong, there is a situation in the Western Xia Kingdom where there are no generals.
"Now, the top priority is to send troops to reinforce it, Lord Liu, in your opinion, who is more appropriate?" Li Qianshun said to Liu Yuan.
The Fengren family of the Western Xia Kingdom has been loyal and good for generations, but it was killed by Li Qianshun, who will be sent now? Li Changqi? Liu Yuan refused in his heart, to be honest, Liu Yuan was still not very optimistic about this Li Changqi in his heart.
"Minister......" Liu Yuan groaned, but apart from Li Changqi, he had no one else to recommend, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Is Li Changqi okay?" ”
Li Qianshun stared at Liu Yuan, nodded, and said, "Immediately announce Li Changqi to enter the palace." ”
The scouts soon entered the palace, but Li Changqi was not yet there.
"How many people are there in the Mongol army?" Liu Yuan asked.
"Your Majesty, now outside Dingzhou City, there are people who are pressed by the black, and there are countless people, and I don't know how many people there are." The scout said with some weakness.
After hearing this, Li Qianshun frowned, obviously not very satisfied with this answer, and said: "Why did the Mongolian army suddenly appear outside Dingzhou City? ”
Sure enough, after hearing this, the scout was at a loss, and subconsciously replied: "I don't know how these Mongolian soldiers came, they seemed to fall from the sky and appeared directly outside Dingzhou City." ”
"That's nonsense!" When Li Qianshun heard what the soldier said, he was furious, and if the soldier said this, if it was spread out, it would be very bad for the morale of the army, and it was no wonder that Li Qianshun would be furious after hearing it.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty atoned for your sins, villain, villain doesn't know where this Mongol army came from? The scout was already a little nervous when he saw Li Qianshun, but at this time, when he saw that the Son of Heaven was angry, he was even more nervous.
Liu Yuan hurriedly said at this time: "Your Majesty, we have always had no defense against the north, and the northern region is sparsely populated, so it is normal for the Mongolian army not to be discovered when they want to come." ”
Li Qianshun nodded, he was noncommittal about what Liu Yuan said, took a deep breath, and said to Liu Yuan: "The Mongols came with a large army, and they must have come to be unkind. ”
Li Qianshun suddenly thought at this time, as if at this time yesterday, Zhong Dao of Honglu Temple once came over and said that the Song Dynasty sent an envoy to say that it was the disaster of destroying the country in the Western Xia Kingdom.
Although I don't know how the Song Dynasty knew about this matter, but thinking about it, the crisis in the Western Xia Kingdom this time is indeed very serious.
"Xuan Zhongdao will enter the palace immediately!" After thinking of this, Li Qianshun immediately ordered that if the Western Xia Kingdom really encountered a crisis, it was necessary to ask for help from the Song Dynasty at this time.
Liu Yuan didn't know what Li Qianshun was doing when he suddenly announced Zhongdao entering the palace, but now that so much time has passed, this Li Changqi has not entered the palace yet? Li Qianshun was already a little dissatisfied.
Li Changqi has not yet entered the palace, mainly because Li Changqi's family has not found him at this time.
It turned out that Li Changqi went out to drink flower wine tonight, and he was not in the mansion at all, so the little eunuch who came to announce the decree was anxiously waiting back and forth in the mansion.
"Haven't you found the little prince yet?" The little eunuch said a little anxiously: "Your Majesty is very anxious, if you let Your Majesty wait for a long time, Your Majesty should be angry." ”
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I've already sent my family to find it, it shouldn't be long before people can find it." The manager of the mansion carefully comforted, but he was also a little uncertain in his heart, and then turned his head and said to the person next to him: "Send more people to find it, and you must find the prince." ”
A group of family members hurried out again, and after some time, finally a family member returned, and the person was found.
"What are you waiting for if you find it, hurry up and enter the palace to face the saint!" The little father-in-law said anxiously.
"It's just that although this person has been found, the prince ...... him"
"What's wrong with him, Lord Wang?".
"Lord Wang, he's drunk!" The man said helplessly.
"Drunk? Why are you still drunk at a critical moment? Now His Majesty wants to see him, whether he is drunk or not, he must go to face the saint now, otherwise His Majesty will blame him, and it will not be something that the prince can afford. The little father-in-law said anxiously.
