Chapter 261: Persuasion 2
"You party members are originally a small clan on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and they were the first to attach themselves to Tuguhun. At the time of Tang Gaozong, Tuguhun was destroyed by Tubo, and your party members lost their backers, so they asked to attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Gaozong agreed to place you in the Songzhou area. When you arrived at Tang Xuanzong, you were still afraid of the Tibetan army, so you asked the Tang court again, and Tang Xuanzong placed you in the Yinzhou and Xiazhou areas, and named your party members as the envoys of the Xiazhou Festival. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, no matter who inherited the throne, you party members bowed down to you. In the early years of the Great Song Dynasty, you party members were also my Han courtiers. Therefore, the first article is to bow down to the ministers, and from now on, your party members will still be the courtiers of our Han people. Zhao Chen said.
"Yes, our party is already attached to the Han people. From now on, we will still be dependent on the Han people. Li Qianming hurriedly said.
"This second article, Western Xia is a small country, and the lord of Western Xia is not worthy of being called emperor. From now on, the lord of Western Xia can only be called the king of Western Xia. Zhao Chen said.
"What Your Majesty said is that I will tell the lord." Li Qianming said.
"Third, your Western Xia party members are disobedient and rebellious, and my Great Song Dynasty has to send a large army to the Northern Expedition! Because of the Northern Expedition, we have consumed a lot, and you party members must compensate us! Tell Li Qianshun to prepare five million taels of gold and silver to compensate our army. Zhao Chen said.
"Yes! The villain understands. Li Qianming said.
"Fourth, Ren Yuqin, the daughter of Ren Dejing, was originally a Han Chinese, and she actually helped the barbarians to defend the city, but she was a traitor, and her crime should be punished. Tell Li Qianshun to send Ren Yuqin's head to me. In addition, I heard that it was Brother Richard, Wei Ming Anhui, and others who instigated Li Qianshun to resist our army, so I sent them to our army as well. Also, the Jurchen Wanyan Sect is in Xingqing Mansion, and the Jurchen is my enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, so I want to send him out. In addition, let Li Qianshun send the prince out of the city, and the prince will live in Hanzhong in the future. In the future, when Li Qianshun dies, I will naturally send the crown prince back to Western Xia and let him inherit the throne of Western Xia. Zhao Chen said.
"Ahh However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only seven years old now, and he may not be able to adapt to the sudden departure to a strange place. Li Qianming said.
"Seven? That's not small! On that day, the city was broken, and I was only ten years old when I fled all the way! You tell Li Qianshun that when his prince arrives in Hanzhong, I will not treat this little prince badly, after all, I will rely on him to be in charge of your party members in the future. Zhao Chen sneered.
"The villain understands." Li Qianming's face was a little gloomy.
"Fifth, Li Jiqian was the envoy of my Great Song Dynasty Dingyan Army, but he rebelled and stole Lingzhou and Liangzhou of the Great Song Dynasty, and stole Xia Yin, Suiyoujing and other states. Now that I have personally come to your Western Xia, these places will naturally be returned to my Great Song Dynasty. Let you, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, give orders to the party defenders and officials in these places, and from now on these places will belong to my Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Chen said.
"Yes!" Li Qianming sighed softly and nodded.
Anyway, he is now a messenger, he is only responsible for listening, only responsible for conveying, but he also understands that Li Qianshun is afraid that he will agree to these conditions. Now that the strength of the Great Song Dynasty is so strong, if he is determined to be able to take Xingqing Mansion, in order to let the Song army retreat, Li Qianshun will definitely be able to agree to all the conditions.
Li Qianming had already left, Zhao Chen and the others stayed in the barracks, and Yu Yunwen said: "Your Majesty, even if Western Xia cedes various places, it will be difficult for us to rule these places now. These places are vast and far away, and they all need garrisons. And our army is now limited in strength, and it is difficult to divide many people to station. ”
Zhao Chen said: "We don't have to leave many soldiers and horses!" Lingzhou is an important place, very close to Xingqing Mansion, which can be used to supervise the party members, and we can station 10,000 troops here! Liangzhou is also an important place in the northwest, this is the ancient city of our Han people, and it was an important stronghold of the Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty, and it also needs to garrison 10,000 troops here! As for the rest of the places, only one or two thousand troops need to be stationed. In total, 30,000 soldiers and horses were left. Now that the main force of Western Xia has been wiped out by us, countless people of Western Xia have been expelled by us to Guanshan, and they have no strength to resist at all. ”
Yu Yunwen thought about it for a while, and nodded immediately.
Although this battle was not completed and the Western Xia was not completely destroyed, the Western Xia was already destroyed. From now on, it will be difficult for Western Xia to threaten my Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Chen said.
Everyone next to him nodded, and their faces couldn't help but smile.
******
On the morning of the first day of the fifth lunar month, Li Qianming came to the city of Xingqing Mansion alone with a white flag!
After the party members above inquired about Li Qianming's identity, they immediately put down the rope and pulled Li Qianming up!
The rain continued to fall, and Li Qianming's whole body was already soaked. He had just reached the city wall, and there were already several people in the distance coming this way.
The leader was Xia Chongzong and Li Qianshun, Brother Richard and Wei Ming Anhui followed behind Brother Richard, and Jurchen Wanyan Zonggan also followed behind them. There is also a woman at the back, and this woman is Ren Yuqin.
These people are also more or less wet! Although it was raining heavily, none of them dared to leave the city wall, and no one knew when the Song army would attack again, so they could only stay here all the time.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Li Qianshun coming, Li Qianming ran over crying and fell to his knees.
"Qianming, hurry up!" Li Qianshun sighed.
Li Qianming has changed so much that Li Qianshun almost can't recognize Li Qianming. In fact, he himself has changed a lot, the Great Song army surrounded Xingqing Mansion, and he is now much thinner than before.
"Your Majesty, it's all bad for your younger brothers, and you have offended the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! In Guanshan that day, if I hadn't offended the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he wouldn't have used troops against my Western Xia! Li Qianming cried.
"What does this have to do with you? It is not your fault that the country has reached such a point...... It's not my sin! Since I ascended the throne, I have been diligent and have never made a mistake...... But Song Jun is still here! It can only be said that the Han people have become strong! Every time the Han people are strong, it is a disaster for our foreign people. Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun smiled bitterly.
"Yes, Your Majesty is right! Every time the Han people rise, it is the end of my foreign race. In the Han Dynasty, the Han people were strong for the first time, the general of the Han people, Huo Quai, began to lead the army at the age of seventeen, he led the Han army to the north for more than 2,000 miles, crossed the Lihou Mountain, crossed the Gonglu River, went deep into the grassland, the desert, annihilated the 70,000 army of the Huns, captured the Huns Tuntou Wang, the Han King and other three, captured the Hun generals, Xiangguo, Danghu, more than 80 people, and chased the Huns all the way to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Hanhai, after this battle, the Huns fled far away, and there was no Hun royal court in Mobei from then on. In the Tang Dynasty, the Han people were strong again, and the Han Li Jing repeatedly used troops against the Turks, and then Xue Rengui and others used troops against the Turks. We came to the Xiazhou area from the Tang Dynasty, the early Song Dynasty was established, the soldiers and horses were strong, and there were nearly 500,000 people, but in less than half a year, our main force was exhausted. The Han 200,000 soldiers and horses surrounded the capital, and we were helpless. The strength of the Han people's forces directly pursued the Han and Tang dynasties, and the Han emperors actually came to the northwest in person, and their martial bravery was also better than that of the previous emperors. It seems that the Han people are rising again. The name next to him also sighed.
"I'm not afraid of the Khitan, I'm not afraid of the Jurchens, they're just like us, they're also a small clan, but they're just strong for a while. The only thing I am afraid of is the Han people, who have a vast land, a large population, and a prosperous civilization, which has lasted for thousands of years. I thought that the Great Song Dynasty was established, and the Han people lost their former martial arts and were already vulnerable, but who knew that the Han people suffered hardships and more than half of the land was occupied, so they became martial and brave again, and they once again had the courage of the Han and Tang dynasties. They have such a large population, such wealth, and such an advanced civilization, who are their opponents? We in Western Xia are only afraid that we will die. Xia Chongzong let out a long sigh.
"Your Majesty...... The Song Emperor sent me to persuade His Majesty to surrender, and as long as His Majesty agreed to their conditions, the Song army would retreat. Li Qianming gritted his teeth and said.
Yes!
At this moment, Xia Chongzong stayed there, and Wei Ming Anhui, Brother Li Chadi and others also stayed there.
"What are the conditions?" Xia Chongzong said in surprise.
"This ...... Your Majesty, it is really difficult for Wei Chen to speak, this condition is too harsh. Li Qianming said.
"Come on! As long as the country has hope of continuation, I can agree to any conditions. Xia Chongzong said.
"Good!" Li Qianming began to speak.
He uttered the five conditions, and the crowd froze again.
"Ridiculous! Amusing! This official is a Jurchen, my Jurchen is invincible in the world, you must not send this official to the hands of the lowly Han people without authorization! Wanyan Zonggan was the first to sneer.
But the rest of the famous Anhui, Brother Richard, Ren Yuqin and others were stunned and did not speak.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Song said, let us agree to their conditions within three days. He said that they could not afford to wait, and that if they did not receive an answer after three days, they would attack the city again, and that they would do whatever it took to conquer Xingqing. At that time, it will be the end of my Western Xia. Li Qianming said.
"This ...... But how could I agree to such harsh conditions? Xia Chongzong said.
"Your Majesty, agree to their terms!" At this time, Wei Ming Anhui next to him let out a long sigh and said.
"Huh?" Xia Chongzong was incredulous.
"Your Majesty, after agreeing to their conditions, our Western Xia still exists, we still have millions of people, we still have the Yinchuan Plain with lush materials, and our Western Xia can still continue to develop. Now although the Han people have shown a strong posture, after all, there are still Jurchens and Jiangnan. We still have a chance to survive, and in the future we can even unite with the Jurchens and Jiangnan. "Wei Ming An Hui said.
Until now, they didn't know about the "second plan" implemented by Zhao Chen, and they didn't know that the Yinchuan Plain had been half destroyed now. Countless towns and villages have been burned to the ground, and countless party members have been forced to go to Guanshan.
"But, Aiqing, he asked me to hand over you, General Li and the others, how can I agree?" Xia Chongzong said.
"Your Majesty, for the survival of my Western Xia, the old minister is not afraid of death." Ann Hui Road.
Richard next to him opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak.
"However, he also asked me to kill Concubine Ren, how can this be?" Xia Chongzong said.
Ren Yuqin in the back looked at Xia Chongzong with a pale face, and her body trembled slightly. She didn't know what Xia Chongzong would decide. In fact, she is not completely Han, her father Ren Dejing is Han, but her mother is a standard party member, so she also has the blood of a party member. It is difficult for a pure Han person to become an imperial concubine, and she can become an imperial concubine, on the one hand, because of her long national color and natural fragrance, and on the other hand, because of her party blood.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of my Western Xia future, what is a woman?" At this time, Li Qianming said violently.
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about? These days, I'm also involved in defending the city! If it weren't for me, Zhongxing Mansion would have been conquered long ago! Ren Yuqin gritted her teeth and said.
"Humph! For the sake of my Xixia's future, I can only sacrifice you! Li Qianming sneered.
At this moment, he suddenly pulled out his sword from the waist of a soldier next to him, and slashed towards Ren Yuqin with a sword! Although Ren Yuqin can be regarded as a strange woman in the world, she does not have any martial arts herself, how can she be Li Qianming's opponent, just listen to a miserable scream, Ren Yuqin has fallen in a pool of blood! There was no one next to him to stop Li Qianming! Even Li Qianshun, who said such a fake thing just now, did not stop Li Qianming at this moment!
"Aifei!" It wasn't until Ren Yuqin fell down and his eyes were closed that Li Qianshun squatted down, hugged Ren Yuqin's body and cried bitterly.
"Your Majesty, make a decision early." Li Qianming said.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to die for Western Xia!" Ann Hui Road.
Brother Richard next to him was full of gloom in his eyes at the moment, and nodded lightly. He buried 300,000 Western Xia main forces, and he had nothing to do with his life for a long time, and at this moment, Wei Ming An Hui said such a thing, and he also agreed.
"Humph! I can't be sold by your party members! Wanyan Zonggan snorted coldly and ran towards the distance violently.
"Someone, stop him!" Xia Chongzong shouted loudly.
At present, the Western Xia people on the city wall are heading towards Wanyan Zonggan.
"Damn the party! I am a Jurchen nobleman, and if you dare to stop me, you deserve death! Wanyan Zonggan's heart was extremely angry, he slashed at a Xixia man with a sword, a Xixia person had already fallen in a pool of blood, but more Xixia people had been rushing towards him continuously! After fighting day and night, the bloody nature of the Tangut people has long been stimulated, and they are also desperate to move forward.
When the fifth Tangut fell, Wanyan Zonggan was also pressed to the ground by a cadre of Tanguts, and there were already soldiers who tied him up with ropes.
