Chapter 658: Western Xia is dead
Xingqing Mansion was still shrouded in choking smoke, and the city occasionally sounded the sound of shouting and killing and the collision of weapons, and it was obvious that there were still some unwilling party soldiers making the last bit of useless and useless resistance, which indirectly proved that no nation in the world could be conquered at will. et
As most of the remnants of the city were cleared, several veteran commanders of the Song army in the northwest, such as Lotte and Chongshidao, began to enter Xingqing Mansion.
Lotte had already come to Xingqing Mansion once, and this time the posture of entering Xingqing Mansion was different from the one, once as the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, but also as the future horse of Western Xia, and this time as the victor and conqueror; When I went to Xingqing Mansion once, although Xingqing Mansion was not prosperous, it was considered a result, but this time it was full of devastation.
The country was broken, the home was gone, and the people who burned down the houses in Xingqing Mansion were all frightened and helpless, in addition to the group of captured soldiers of Western Xia who were tied together with ropes, and their eyes were also full of horror at the Song army generals who were heavily guarded by their side when they drove into Xingqing Mansion.
The Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia fought for a hundred years, the two sides won and lost each other, and the slaughter of cities and prisoners was not uncommon, and these captured Western Xia soldiers were not afraid at this time, afraid that these Song troops would suddenly raise their butcher knives.
The Western Xia Kingdom died, and the emperor had already left himself here when he fled out of the city, so these Western Xia soldiers couldn't talk about how much respect and support they had for Li Qianshun.
Before the attack on Xingqing Mansion, the official office of Xingqing Mansion City was burned partially, but it is still somewhat intact, Xingqing Mansion thought about many matters such as fire prevention and waterproofing at the beginning of construction, the streets are wide, the buildings of Fang City are far apart, and the official office is mostly a brick structure and there are many soldiers, and the private houses are mostly wooden planks to build the city, so the official office still has a lot, but the people's houses can be said to be one out of ten.
Looking at these Western Xia people and captured soldiers, the seed master commanded: "Command to go down and set up a porridge shed in Xingqing Mansion City, so that these Western Xia people and captured soldiers will not starve to death!" ”
At this time, a general next to him said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there were three chapters of the law in the early Han Dynasty, and our army should follow the example of Han Gaozu today and Xingqing should follow the example of Han Gaozu and show that my Great Song Dynasty is the division of the king!" ”
Hearing this, all the generals also nodded in agreement, this battle was enough to make the Xia people afraid of the Great Song Dynasty, and they did not dare to rebel again.
"The three chapters of the covenant are acceptable, but our army should not give porridge so early!" At this time, Lotte said.
"What do you mean by a book?" Hearing Lotte say this, the hearts of the people such as Seed Master Dao, Liu Fa, and Rang Zhongwu were all puzzled, and the generals were even more puzzled.
Lotte said slowly: "Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty once said: 'Rong Di has a human face and a beast's heart, once he is unexpected, he will be harmed. Wei Zheng, a famous minister, also said: 'Yi Di is not my race, his heart will be different, the strong will be a thief, the weak and humble, regardless of kindness and righteousness, his nature is also. ’……”
Hearing Lotte's words, Seed Master Dao, Liu Fa and others looked at each other, Liu Zhongwu's eyes widened even more, and he said in disbelief: "Could it be that Leshu wants to let these Xia people fend for themselves?" ”
Water irrigates Lingzhou, burns summer camp and Xingqing Mansion, although Lotte has not killed a soldier, but Lotte's methods are really terrifying, in the eyes of Liu Zhongwu and others, people who can use such means will definitely not be soft-hearted, if Lotte will not follow the example of Qin General Bai Qikeng to kill 400,000 Zhao pawns, this is also something that is still unknown, so it is not surprising that Liu Zhongwu said such a thing.
When the generals heard this, they were also very surprised, how could there be 60,000 or 70,000 people in Xingqing Mansion, plus the soldiers, there were hundreds of thousands, if this is the case, this Lord Le is really powerful, it is Liu Fa who once slaughtered Renduoquan City, I am afraid that it cannot be compared with Lotte. But at this time, except for the three commanders of the army, no general dared to oppose Lotte's opinion head-on, and at this time, Lotte had established its prestige in the army after a series of victories, and because the authority could not be questioned.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhongwu misunderstood himself, Lotte shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Dongpo monk of this dynasty once said: 'Yidi can't govern the country, such as birds and beasts. 'The lower officials read the history throughout the past and the present and feel that Yi Di is afraid of power but not virtue, and now we are waiting for the porridge, they still think it is our duty......"
"The meaning of the music book, the old man understands!" The planter nodded: "When they are hungry to despair, they will be hung with porridge to hang their lives, so that these Yi people will be grateful, and in the future, give each of them a bowl of porridge in the morning and evening, and let them hang their lives!" ”
Lotte said: "What the shuai said is very true, I think my dynasty is so merciful to Li Jiqian, Li Deming, Li Yuanhao's ancestors and grandchildren, Li Yuanhao is still rebelling against the Song Dynasty and self-reliance, and I don't know how many good men and wealth have been lost, and the barbarian Yidi must not be indulged, not only to make him afraid of the power of my Great Song Dynasty, but also to make him Huaide to my Great Song Dynasty!" ”
"Not bad!" Liu Fa also nodded, and said with great feelings: "'Yi Di Bi is like a beast, and his good words are not enough to be happy, and evil words are not enough to be angry. 'I think my Great Song Dynasty and the Xia people have been fighting for a hundred years, and the most vacillating thing is these Yi people, who are rebellious from time to time, and the high inspection is credulous and gullible for their victims! ”
……
The most important place in Xingqing Mansion is not the official office that was temporarily set up as the Shuai Mansion, but the Western Xia Palace. The Xixia Imperial Palace was also burned down several palaces at this moment, but because of the transfer of troops into the palace to fight the fire, most of the palaces were still intact.
In front of the palace gate of the Xixia Palace, the master Dao and others just stopped for a while, and ordered more people to be stationed around the Xixia Palace, and then left, and before leaving, he gave an order to drive out all the people in the palace and seal them, and they were not allowed to enter, and those who came out of the palace were immediately detained and immediately subjected to strict interrogation.
But there is one thing that needs to be paid special attention to, if there are palace princesses, concubines, and nobles, they should be treated well and protected.
Although Li Qianshun claims to be the lord of the country in the name, he is still the emperor in the country, and the Xixia Palace naturally involves the royal dignity, although it is the palace of the enemy country, but it is not just anyone who can enter, many things are very taboo, and there are many treasures in the palace that Li Qianshun did not have time to take away when he escaped, most of them are priceless jewelry, and many of them are secrets that the Great Song Dynasty wants to know.
Whether it is Seed Master Dao, Liu Fa and others, or Lotte, they must take care of their own identities and not enter casually, let alone sort out these things left behind in the Xixia Palace.
As the so-called people are terrible, it is not fun to take the opportunity to make some mistakes to those officials who are full of food and have nothing to do, and even Tong Guan, Bai Shi and others are aiming at the opportunity to give these generals who are at odds with them a blow at this time.
In addition to stationing heavy troops around the Xixia Palace, Lotte also instructed General Xu, who was listening to the use of the army, to dispatch elite soldiers to form a patrol team of more than 500 people, divided into three squads to patrol around the Xixia Palace, in order to prevent the Western army stationed outside the palace from stealing; In addition, Lotte also dispatched some military judges and scribes to interrogate the eunuchs and palace maids who ran out of the palace, and made a complete record of the archive.
For Da Song, these are all useful things. As for Lotte's arrangement, Seed Master Dao, Liu Fa, Liu Zhongwu and others also agreed, and Lotte's identity as an official with a different identity from the three generals doomed Lotte to be more suitable to do this.
The place that is regarded as the Shuaifu is the Xingqing Mansion, and it is also the most suitable in terms of rank.
"Report ......"
As soon as Lotte had just finished arranging things, a junior school came to report in a hurry.
"What?" The seed master asked.
At this time, the war of Xingqing Mansion has been over, and Lotte no longer asks too many things, Liu Fa and Liu Zhongwu both know the details of the cultivation of the master's way, and before becoming a general, he was an official of a state governor, if it were not for being framed by Cai Jing, the current official is enough to do the strategy or the second grade official, and it is most appropriate for him to do the aftermath of Xingqing Mansion, but the two of them can hide quietly.
The little colonel hurriedly replied: "Second master, ambush Li Qianshun and flee north fifteen miles north of Xingqing Mansion, capture the prince, princess, concubine and others of the Xia people, and now they are heading to Xingqing Mansion to ......."
"What about Li Qianshun and the crown prince?" Without waiting for the little colonel to finish speaking, Liu Fa and Liu Zhongwu asked together.
The little colonel hurriedly replied: "Li Qianshun, the lord of the Xia people, broke through the interception of our army and led more than 1,000 soldiers to flee to Dingzhou in the north. ”
Hearing this, the faces of the three of them became gloomy and difficult to see, if Li Qianshun was captured, it would mean the destruction of Western Xia in the real sense, and at the moment, not only Li Qianshun was not captured, but also the crown prince Li Renbao was not seen, which was definitely not good news for the Great Song Dynasty.
Both Li Qianshun and Li Renbao were the hope of the restoration of the Western Xia, and it was even foreseeable that in the future, whether Li Qianshun or Li Renbao ascended to the heights, those who were loyal to the Western Xia or had other people, the Tubos, the Song and the Uighurs, would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
Sighing, the seed master said: "I hope that Liu Qi and Qu Duan can have good news coming ...... them."
When the voice of the seed master had just fallen, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and I saw a fast horse directly breaking into the gate of Xingqing Mansion, entering the front of the hall, only to hear the soldier shouting while urging the horse: "Caught Li Qianshun, caught Li Qianshun, Xia Guo is dead......
didn't care about any military orders or violations, and the generals stationed in the marshal's mansion opened their mouths wide and came to ask the soldier who reported the news.
The little colonel didn't care about any dignity, and put aside the generals who asked before, and went directly to the lobby of the Shuai Mansion and said, "Shuai Ye...... Thirty miles north of Xingqing Mansion, several major generals set up ambushes to capture Li Qianshun, the lord of the Xia people, and are now escorting them to Xingqing Mansion......"
"Xia Guo is dead!"
"The Xia Kingdom is dead......
"The Xia Kingdom is dead......
……
For a while, the entire Shuai Mansion was thunderous, and the news of the victory spread, so that tens of thousands of Song troops in the entire Xingqing City shouted in unison, and the voices shouted higher and higher, rushing straight into the sky......
A hundred years of conquest, the heart of the Western Xia was extinguished, whether it was the emperors of the Song Dynasty or the common people, they all held this belief, and today it was finally realized, how could the Song army not be happy.
When the captured Western Xia soldiers and the people heard the news of Li Qianshun's capture, the original decadent mood was even more depressed, and the Western Xia was really dead this time, and the nobles of the royal family and the emperor's relatives were wiped out by the Song army, and the Dagaobai Kingdom no longer existed.
Unlike everyone, Lotte does not have any excitement, the calculation of breaking the Xingqing Mansion has already matured in his chest, Lotte can be said to have done everything without omission, but at this moment he still raised his eyebrows: "There is still no news of the prince Li Renbao!" ”
