Seeing that Zong Zedu was about to kneel down and beg, Du Jia was also a little unbearable, so he agreed, and from his heart, he didn't want the Western Xia Kingdom to succeed, no matter how they tossed with the Song Dynasty, it was also an internal matter of the Han people, and these party members must not be allowed to take advantage of the opportunity.

So Du Jia ordered the whole family to speed up and go straight to the Silver City, and when they got there, they saw that it was a mess, most of the houses in the city were burned down, and nearly half of the population was plundered or killed at that time, and the wealth was looted, and it is still a mess.

Taishou and several commanders and regimental training envoys were also killed, here are the dragons without a leader, the people are just spontaneously doing what they can, the efficiency is naturally extremely low, Zong Ze summoned all the remaining officials on the spot and announced the holy decree, saying that this place will be regarded as the territory of the Tang State in the future.

Those officials and citizens are also indifferent to this, they have just walked around the gate of hell, and at this moment their loyalty to the court is naturally almost zero, in everyone's opinion, what is the use of a court that cannot even guarantee the safety of their own people's lives? As for letting them submit to the Tang Kingdom now, then let's submit to it, it won't be worse, right?

Du Jia couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw it, at first he didn't really plan to really want this mansion city, after all, it was far away from the Central Plains, and it was on the border with the Xixia Kingdom, it was completely like chicken ribs, abandoned and had nothing to eat, but seeing these people being killed so miserably suddenly made his heart fire, and he immediately decided to include this city in the territory of the Tang Kingdom, he wanted to see who dared to move.

So Du Jia asked Gongsun Sheng to bring a group of civil officials to temporarily manage this place, and let the thousands of slaves who surrendered from Chamur in the Western Xia Kingdom to help rebuild the city, and the officials and people of Silver City couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene, wasn't this the group of Western Xia troops who had plagued them before? How did you become so honest now?

Those people in the Tang army simply told them the ins and outs of this matter, and now the people were in a sensation, and they were all dead before, and they were ecstatic in an instant, and many people were holding hoes and brooms to beat those Western Xia slaves, and the officials of the Tang army said that they should make meritorious service for their crimes, and wouldn't it be better to make cattle and horses for the people in the future? I stopped it.

After this scene, the soldiers and civilians of Silver City instantly became the loyal people of the Tang Kingdom, and everyone's spirit immediately recovered most of them, coupled with the unified command and management of others, it soon became in full swing, and Du Jia also specially allocated a batch of horses, cattle, livestock, food, money and goods from the previous booty to support the reconstruction of Silver City, and everyone was even more joyful.

Zong Ze and the others could only sigh when they saw this scene, this city could only be restored to life so quickly under the governance of the Tang Dynasty, if it was still under the Song Dynasty, it would be abolished, I don't know how long it would take to calm down, although they didn't want to admit it, but they had already made a judgment in their hearts about the future of the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty - I am afraid that in less than ten years, the Tang State will definitely replace the Song Dynasty!

After Du Jia quickly arranged the internal affairs of Silver City, he immediately led the team straight to the border, and sure enough, he didn't go far before he saw countless people and horses in the distance, almost filling the border that was more than ten miles long.

How did the people of the Western Xia Kingdom come about? It turned out that Chamur and Li Dezhong had transported more than one million pieces of property and tens of thousands of young and strong people back before, which made the whole Xixia Kingdom amazed, even including the lord Li Qianshun, he just asked them to make meritorious service at that time, if they could get some things back, even if they died there, they would not feel distressed, it would be regarded as a test of the military strength of the Song Dynasty.

But he never expected that a team of less than 30,000 people would plunder so many things in just one month, and it had been more than five years of the Song Dynasty's "annual tribute", could it be that the Song Dynasty had become so weak now?

The civil and military officials of the Western Xia Kingdom also pounced on Li Qianshun one after another, asking him to send troops to the Song Dynasty as soon as possible, such a good opportunity is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if it is too late, it will be preempted by the Liao State or the rest of the forces.

Of course, Li Qianshun thought more far-reaching than them, after all, the two countries still signed a peace agreement, and the Song Dynasty had to do it every year. Rewarding them with as many as hundreds of thousands of goods, it is a bit unreasonable to suddenly tear up the agreement, and the 300,000 border troops displayed on the border line in the Song Dynasty may not be so easy to deal with, I heard that the commander is also a generation of famous generals, Li Dezhong and Chamur's small army can also venture out from the path, he wants to lead hundreds of thousands of troops can not use that method, can only fight all the way through in a dignified manner, this is not a trivial matter, in case it falls into the quagmire, it will be troublesome.

But this good opportunity can not be completely given up, after thinking about it again, Li Qianshun still accepted the suggestion of Li Defang, the prime minister of the left, and led a large army to pretend to go to the 'rebellion' to enter the territory of the Song Dynasty, and then use this as an excuse to test the strength of the Song army.

Therefore, Li Qianshun ordered 200,000 troops to the southwest border line and set off, although the Western Xia Kingdom claimed to control 500,000 but that is all the family base, and the Song Dynasty's military and civilian division of labor is clearly different, the Western Xia team is on the horse for the army, dismounted for the people, the labor force is actually very scarce, so it is from the Song Dynasty to snatch the population as a slave, if the 500,000 army is dispatched, then no one will work, 200,000 is actually the limit of the mobilization, unless the disaster of destroying the country.

The reason why they would rather have Li Dezhong and Chamur two 'rogues' in it to harass and sabotage them is that they are worried about this, and they immediately urgently ordered the whole army to gather, and then took hundreds of generals to set up a position on the border and wait for the arrival of the Western Xia army.

So when Li Qianshun came over, he happened to encounter the large array of Song soldiers, and Li Qianshun asked his subordinates to also line up and stand still, and then asked Song General to come up and talk back.

At that time, when the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty signed the agreement, they were commensurate with brothers, among which the emperor of the Song Dynasty was the elder brother, and the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty was the younger brother, and then the later dynasties also continued, so Li Qianshun asked the seed master to go up and reply to the disagreement, but Yu Li was no hinder, and the seed master had no choice but to bring a few cronies and generals to drive him immediately, otherwise if the Western Xia used this as an excuse to find trouble, those officials and traitors in the court would definitely make a big fuss and splash dirty water on him, and he would have a hard time arguing.

I've always been interested in the name of Silver City, where is there a lot of silver, right?
