Chapter Twenty-Seven: How Can There Be Such a Cheap Thing in the World?

Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, and Li Renli, the king of Shu, were both children of the Western Xia clan, and their father was Li Qianshun's uncle and brother Li Jingsi.

Because when Li Qianshun had just ascended the throne, the power of Western Xia was controlled by his mother Liang Hou's brothers and sisters, and the mother party forces firmly controlled the power of the court, and frantically designed and framed his father Li Bingchang's old cronies and ministers, and cracked down on and excluded him.

Therefore, after Li Qianshun came into power, he adopted the method of dividing the imperial family to consolidate his power, and first canonized his brave and resourceful younger brother Li Chage as the king of Jin and grasped the country's military power.

Later, he sealed the clan and canonized Li Renzhong and Li Renli as King Pu and King Shu respectively, one for Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, and the other for the Henan transit envoy, as his confidants.

The other person present, Li Liangfu, is also a member of the royal family, but the blood relationship is really a little distant, Li Gan obeyed him to take charge of the Xingqing Mansion garrison, and his status is equivalent to Zhao Ji's confidant.

At this time, hearing his confidant Li Renzhong's suggestion to surrender in Kaicheng, the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun also subconsciously felt that this was probably the only way out, but he still had doubts in his heart.

"Song and Xia's hundred years of blood feud, there are no less than millions of people in Guanxi who have died in our hands for decades, if the Song people want to retaliate, what should we do?"

His words were immediately agreed by Li Liangfu, and he saw that his eyes were red, and he said with a fierce light: "Your Majesty is right, such a blood feud, once we surrender, it will be a dead end, how can Song Zhu not retaliate?"

When the time comes, people will be swordsmen and I will be fish and meat, and we can't resist even if we want to! It's better to fight to the death, and order the people of the whole city to pick up arms and fight, even if it is all the jade pieces, before dying, more Song pigs will be buried together! ”

It turned out that Li Liangfu's father was killed by the Western Army during the Battle of Pingxia City for more than 20 years, so Li Liangfu was bent on seeking revenge on the Song people since he led the army, and he was a staunch belligerent.

However, Li Renzhong and Li Renli have received a good education since childhood, are proficient in the languages of various countries, especially like Chinese culture, and are also good at poetry and writing.

I heard Li Renzhong anxiously explain: "Your Majesty must know that the greatest ability of the Song people is their own internal fighting. Let's just say that this time the Liangshan army came to Great Xia, and the Western Army Tong Guan first stopped for more than ten consecutive days and did not attack, and then suddenly launched a strong attack, the reason for this Your Majesty can't be imagined? ”

Li Qianshun reacted immediately: "Are you saying that Tong Guan wanted to sit back and watch the Liangshan army be wiped out, but it turned out that the Liangshan army won, and Tong Guan couldn't sit still?" ”

Li Renzhong nodded, and then listened to Li Renli, the king of Shu, add: "I have the same thoughts about the Song people as the eldest brother. The Zhao and Song Dynasty courts have always used literature to control military forces because of the improper acquisition of the country, and they are wary of military generals like thieves, even the Western Army must send a eunuch to watch them, divide them, and prevent the Western Army from becoming a feudal warlord like the Five Dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty.

Thinking that the Liangshan Army was originally a rebel army, but now it actually appeared under the city of Xingqing Mansion and fought side by side with the Western Army as a friendly army, and must have accepted Zhao'an, but the Zhao and Song Dynasty still didn't worry about them, and just regarded them as rebels and wanted to get rid of them quickly, wishing they were all dead.

And that's our chance! We must make a decision as soon as possible to surrender the city, leave a useful body, and there is hope for life! Otherwise, once the western army attacks the city, everything will be over! ”

After Li Renli finished speaking, Li Renzhong immediately said: "For today's plan, we can only surrender to the Western Army, the Zhao and Song courts, and offer our loyalty to Tong Guanna, expressing our willingness to be the lackeys of the Great Song Emperor, and willing to attack the Liangshan rebels for them!"

The Song people like infighting the most, and they like to intrigue and play with their hearts. Today, the Liangshan army completely annihilated the main force of the 200,000 Great Xia Army in one battle, and even His Royal Highness the King of Jin was killed by the Liangshan army, which means that the combat power of the Liangshan army is far superior to the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty!

With such a powerful group of rebels, how could the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts not be as good as Mang's back and regard it as a big trouble? As long as we surrender, Weichen is ninety percent sure that the Zhao and Song courts will definitely let go of their past grievances, leave us and others alive, and drive us to be minions to deal with the Liangshan rebels.

Once the Zhao Song court fights with the rebels of the Liangshan Army, it is best to lose both, which is a good opportunity for us to restore the country in Great Xia! ”

I have to say that although the two brothers Li Renzhong and Li Renli are young, they still have a thorough understanding of the Song Dynasty, and it is indeed remarkable that they burst out at a critical moment.

As soon as the two said this, Li Qianshun was naturally not a fool, and immediately thought that this was indeed the only way to survive in death.

The most important thing is that time waits for no one, and there is not much time for them to surrender, once the Western Army takes the opportunity of the demoralization of the defenders on the city wall to launch a strong attack on the city again, and then they are afraid that they will not be able to surrender even if they want to.

Thinking of this, almost without hesitation, Li Qianshun made a decision.

At this time, Tong Guan, who had been supervising the battle in front of the battle under the city of Xingqing Mansion, saw that the morale of the western thieves at the head of the city was greatly demoralized and all thoughts were lost, and he also issued the order for a general attack as soon as possible.

"After beating the drums and three rounds of artillery strikes, the whole army will attack, and this time we will definitely attack the city at any cost! Pass on a certain order, and the first to ascend will advance to three levels, and the reward will be ten thousand! ”

Speaking of which, although Tong Guan is a traitor in history, and when the Jurchen came over, he was a very shameful deserter, but it does not mean that Tong Guan is a stupid person.

Otherwise, how could he stand out from the many eunuchs in the palace and become Zhao Ji's henchman? even fought against the treacherous and cunning Cai Jing and fought evenly?

Tong Guan had already calculated very clearly, the Liangshan army came to Kansai this time and was all cavalry, even if there were many mounted infantry among them, they did not carry siege equipment.

Even if the Liangshan cavalry came to the city of Xingqing Mansion, it was impossible to rush to the city on horseback, so no matter what, the first to break through Xingqing Mansion could only be himself, although he was a little faceless.

"Report! The thieves have raised a white flag in the tower, they are going to surrender! Are we still fighting? ”

Tong Guan was thinking about it in his heart, when he heard the captain of the guard next to him shouting loudly.

He hurriedly raised his eyes, and through the wisps of gunsmoke, he saw that on the tower of the south gate of Xingqing Mansion, a very conspicuous white flag replaced the yellow flag that represented the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun.

"Haha, now you know to surrender?"

Tong Guan laughed excitedly and a little depressedly: "Order the artillery to not stop, after the artillery is fired, all the soldiers will go to the city first, and then accept their surrender, remember that Li Qianshun wants to capture him alive!" ”

So the artillery attack continued, and at the same time, Lin Chong was also escorted by Yang Zaixing, Wang Feiyu, Hua Rong and others, and rode his horse to Tong Guan's Chinese army array.

"Brother, Li Qianshun's guy has surrendered! White flags were raised over the city. ”

Hua Rong's eyes were sharp, and he immediately found the white flag in the city and reported to Lin Chong.

Lin Chong frowned slightly, and said, "If you can't fight, you will surrender, what about the previous crimes?" That's it? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? ”
