One night, Li Jing was draped in a big hat, looking at the Xingqing Mansion in the distance, with a little moonlight, Li Jing saw countless figures walking around the city wall, the Tangut people were hurrying to repair the city wall lost during the day, and outside the city wall, countless Tangut people were carrying earth and stone bricks, or piling up mounds of earth, or preparing raw materials for returning the cannon the next day, and everyone rarely did not start a war.

"Your Majesty is worried about what will happen after the war in Xingqing Mansion." Yelu Dashi didn't know when he came over, and after saluting Li Jing, he asked in a low voice.

"Although I said that if you want to conquer the enemy's mind, you must first conquer the enemy's body, but I know that the Tangut people are different, if you want to conquer the other party's heart, conquering the opponent's body is only a small part, even if we occupy Xingqing Mansion, it is a long process to completely digest Xingqing Mansion, and if we don't pay attention to it, it will cause our backyard to catch fire." Li Jing shook his head. Li Jing was very surprised by the resistance of the Western Xia people, almost everywhere, if Li Jing hadn't captured Keyimen, I am afraid that the current situation, even Li Jing would not dare to say that he could suppress it.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the minister admires it very much, but the minister thinks that the Xingqing Mansion in front of him is the backbone of the Tangut people, as long as Xingqing Mansion is captured, we will be equivalent to breaking the backbone of the Tangut people, and the rest of the things are just a water mill." Yelu Dashi thought for a while and said.

"Even if I want to break through Xingqing Mansion now, I'm afraid it won't be an easy thing." Li Jing smiled bitterly.

"As long as Your Majesty persists, you will definitely succeed." Yelu Dashi was afraid that Li Jing would withdraw his troops, so he hurriedly said: "The minister looks at the countries and ministries of the Western Regions, although he is very respectful to His Majesty now, but when he attacked Xingqing Mansion today, the minister noticed that these tribes' soldiers and horses are actually just making a show, they are all watching from the wall, and even many tribes are annexing all parts of Western Xia, maybe plundering the property of Western Xia, today is like this, nothing more than that, these people are watching from the wall, Your Majesty captures Xingqing Mansion, these guys will see the wind and rudder, and call your Majesty, if Your Majesty returns in vain, they will divide the northwest, I won't take my Datang to heart. ”

"These guys are snakes and rats, I naturally know that Lord Yelu doesn't have to worry, if I don't capture Xingqing Mansion, I won't return to the dynasty, and even after solving Xingqing Mansion, I will let people run the Western Regions and turn the Western Regions into the backyard of my Tang Dynasty." Li Jing said with a smile: "How can these guys be willing to obey my orders, I will destroy these guys sooner or later." ”

"Your Majesty." Yelu Dashi's eyes lit up, Li Jing was young, and Yelu Dashi was most afraid that Li Jing would give up fighting after achieving a certain amount of credit. He recently heard in the army that Li Jing established Changchun Garden, and there are countless beautiful women in Changchun Garden, specializing in serving Li Jing, he thought that Li Jing had been addicted to it, but now it seems that Li Jing is still the ambitious Li Jing at the beginning.

"It's a pity, the characteristics of the Western Xia people are too obvious, the secret guard has no foundation in Xingqing Mansion, and the development has not been smooth over the years, otherwise, the inside and outside should be combined, and it may not be impossible to seize Xingqing Mansion." Li Jing shook his head and said regretfully: "Wait until tomorrow to dig a tunnel and take a look, maybe it will work." ”

"At the moment, we have to try any way, there is always a way to do it." Yelu Dashi said with relief.

"Maybe." Li Jing nodded, and said to Yelu Dashi: "My Tang army has always used tactics to attack the enemy's cities, and this bloody battle of Xingqing Mansion may not be a bad thing, and it will also make the soldiers adapt to this kind of bloody battle." ”

"Your Majesty is very true." Yelu Dashi nodded, only this kind of bloody battle can cast an elite soldier, and if you use tactics to capture the city for a long time, it will make the soldiers have a contemptuous heart, and the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, once all the strategies are useless, it will be very difficult for Li Jing to capture a city.

"It's a pity." Li Jing looked back at Xingqing Mansion and felt a slight sense of regret. Although he knew that there would definitely be a bloody battle in the attack on Xingqing Mansion, when it came to the end, Li Jing always hoped for a miracle.

In Xingqing Mansion, on the street, groups of soldiers walked on the street, these soldiers held torches, looked around cautiously, and once they found any movement, they did not hesitate to kill them. Now that the enemy has come to the city, he will attack Xingqing Mansion at any time, in case someone in this city is Li Jing's internal response, Xingqing Mansion can be broken overnight.

Therefore, Helian Tieshu ordered martial law in the city, before the curfew, no two people were allowed to walk together on the street, and after the curfew, no one was allowed to appear on the street.

"What people!" A group of soldiers saw a person lying there in the distance, and immediately their faces tightened, and they all surrounded them, but there was a foul smell in front of them, and these soldiers immediately frowned, and it turned out that there was a beggar lying on the ground, not to mention the ragged clothes, and the stench all over his body, and even his face was full of filth, which made people want to vomit when they saw it.

"Damn, it's a stinky beggar, damn it." The leader of the squad thought about pulling out the big knife at his waist and killing it, so as not to stain his eyes.

"Boss, it's just a beggar, forget it, kill and stain your knife, hmph, these guys are left to fend for themselves, wait a few days, it's better to let these beggars go up to build a city, it can be regarded as waste utilization, kill these guys now, and the corpses don't know where to put them!" Behind the squad leader, a soldier couldn't help but persuade.

"These damn guys, sooner or later, they're going to kill them all." The captain was annoyed in his heart, kicked the beggar, and continued to patrol with a curse in his mouth, he didn't want to kill the beggar, but thought about where to put the body after killing, and it could be placed in the mass grave outside the city before, but now the entire Xingqing Mansion is besieged, and it is very difficult to throw it into the mass grave, so he can only kick it twice.

It's just that he didn't notice that the beggar who was lying on the ground looked at the team coldly, the corners of his mouth rose, and he suddenly disappeared into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

"When the gang leader and Brother Guo's plan is successful, this Xingqing Mansion will be burned clean with a fire, where do you still need to suffer such a bird anger." In the darkness, the sound of beggars gurgling could be heard.

In the darkness, in the streets and alleys of Xingqing Mansion, you can see the traces of beggars walking from time to time, or crawling forward, or seeing soldiers patrolling the city, so they simply hide aside. Although some beggars were killed, most of them gradually gathered towards the west of Xingqingfu. No one paid attention to all this, or even if they did, they would not have thought of anything, and the west of the city was mostly the place where the nobles of Western Xia stayed, and these beggars liked to haunt these places the most. Who knows, a drastic change is about to break out, and the people who start the upheaval are this group of beggars.
