In Western Xia, the Imperial Palace, Li Bingchang was discussing major matters with a group of ministers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This time, Li Bingchang did not have the pride of the past, some were just worried, and his brows were tightened tightly, becoming a Sichuan character.

Not only him, but also all the ministers, all of them furrowed their brows, pursed their mouths, and said little, where the monarchs and ministers were discussing major matters, they were simply sitting and worrying.

Since receiving the news that Wu Ji had taken three cities in a row, the Western Xia monarchs and ministers were terrified, and the triumphant triumph of the past no longer existed. Not only did they not look proud, on the contrary, they were very frightened and afraid.

Wu Ji and the Great Song Dynasty acted quickly, connecting the three cities, which was very shocking. Especially when Wu Ji's army actually captured the old capital of Xiazhou, it was already aimed at Xingqing Mansion, and Western Xia was in danger, could they not be worried? Not to mention, at this time, Western Xia wants to have no soldiers, no generals, what to use to confront Wu Ji?

At this moment, what Li Bingchang hoped most was for the Western Xia army to come back from Shaanxi. At that time, after receiving the good news from Shaanzhou, Li Bingchang was very happy, and he wished to send more soldiers and horses to go and lay more ground. Now, he regrets it, the elite of Western Xia went to Shaanzhou, Western Xia is empty, if Wu Ji goes straight to Xingqing Mansion, what will he use to resist?

Xingqing Mansion is the capital of Western Xia, and it is the place where Wu Ji is determined to win, Wu Ji will definitely come, and it will come very quickly, Li Bingchang and they are worried.

However, to their surprise, Wu Ji did not move in Xiazhou and did not immediately call Xingqing Mansion, which made Li Bingchang secretly relieved.

Although Wu Ji did not attack for the time being, the crisis was still there, and Li Bingchang did not dare to take it lightly at all, so he had to discuss with the ministers. However, there is no magic way to discuss and discuss.

Sticking to Xingqing Mansion is a good plan. However, the solidity of Xingqing Mansion is similar to that of Xiazhou, even if it is stronger than Xiazhou, it is not much stronger, Xiazhou has been beaten down by Wu Ji in one go, how long can Xingqing Mansion last?

Besides, even if you stick to Xingqing Mansion, it is just a lonely city, and there are many Han people outside the city, and they will inevitably defect to the Song Dynasty. In addition to the Han Chinese, there are also foreign races such as the Mongols and the Uighurs, who are likely to fall into the arms of the Song Dynasty.

In this way, didn't Xixia lose everything except Xingqing Mansion? Once these places are lost, can Western Xia still be called Western Xia?

The best way is to fight with Wu Ji and defeat Wu Ji, but this can only be thought about. First, Li Bingchang had no soldiers in his hands, and the elite of Western Xia was in Shaanzhou. The second is that even if he has the elite in his hands, he does not dare to fight against Wu Ji's army. You must know that Li Yan led the elite of Western Xia, and in front of Wu Ji's army, a charge collapsed, what army in Western Xia could resist?

The only flaw of Li Yan's army is that there are not enough iron harriers, in order to attack Shaanzhou, the Western Xia is the elite is exhausted, and all the iron harriers are sent out. Even if the Iron Harrier is here, he may not be able to defeat Wu Ji, at most it will be a tie.

Li Bingchang and the other monarchs and ministers thought about it, but they didn't have a magic way to retreat from the enemy, so they had to worry.

"Your Majesty, otherwise, let's make peace." Some ministers are tentatively trying to come up with ideas.

"Peace talks? No way! Never! ”

"Humph! Great Xia fought with the Song Emperor for decades and had the upper hand, why did Great Xia want to negotiate with the timid Song Dynasty? ”

"Great Xia has the upper hand, as long as we cough, the Song people will scare away for dozens of miles, why do we want to negotiate peace?"

A voice of opposition sounded, and all the ministers held their heads high, as if they were still in the past when Western Xia had the upper hand. For them, the fact of peace talks is absolutely unacceptable. Western Xia has had the upper hand for decades, and it is really difficult and difficult to suddenly ask them to put down their bodies, pull down their faces, and accept the fact of peace talks!

"But what are we going to do if we don't talk about it?"

"Yes! Wu Ji's army has already taken Xiazhou, and the sword is aimed at Xingqing Mansion. Although we haven't called Xingqing Mansion yet, it's a matter of time or time, what can we do to resist? ”

"You must know that it is the elite of Great Xia who is stationed in Xiazhou, except for the iron harrier, the rest of the elite are all there. is so elite, in front of Wu Ji's army, a charge collapsed, and the army of tens of thousands of people was completely slaughtered by Wu Ji's army. Who of you can retreat from the enemy? Who can retreat from the enemy? ”

"Don't talk about it at this time, if Wu Ji's army comes, it's too late."

Although they were unwilling to accept it, there were still ministers who were very sober, and they realized the huge gap between the Xia army and the Song army, and peace talks were the only way out for them at the moment.

The ministers who opposed the "......" were extremely reluctant, but they had to accept this fact and did not dare to oppose it anymore.

"Peace talks, Xing may try. It's just that Wu Ji will ask for a sky-high price? Li Bingchang is also acceptable to the peace talks. However, he was worried that Wu Ji's asking price was too high.

For the first time in decades, the Western Xia were at a disadvantage, and the Song Dynasty had the upper hand for the first time, and Wu Ji's asking price must have been very high, and they couldn't help but hesitate.

"Your Majesty, General Li Zongbao and General Liang Xi ask to see you!" Just when the monarchs and ministers were in a dilemma and it was difficult to make a decision, a eunuch quickly came in to report.

"Li Zongbao? Liang Xi? When Li Bingchang heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, his brows furrowed, his eyes were shining, and he laughed: "Please!" The two generals fought well in Shaanzhou, and there must be good news! ”

The Western Xia attacked Shaanzhou and achieved a great victory that had not been seen in decades, and when he thought of this, Li Bingchang was overjoyed, and his mouth could be closed.

"Whew!" The ministers let out a long breath, and their hearts were finally relaxed.

Li Zongbao and Liang Xi are back, which means that all the elites of Western Xia are back. Especially the return of the Iron Harrier, for them, it was a great joy. For the ministers of Western Xia, the Iron Harrier is their pillar, and as long as the Iron Harrier is there, there is no need to be afraid. The Iron Harrier has not been defeated so far, even in the face of the Liao State's leather room army, how can they not have the truth of confidence?

"They fought well in Shaanzhou, they captured a lot, they came back, they must have brought a lot of goods, we all have a share, we are going to make a fortune again!"

There are even ministers who have dreams of making a fortune. Can't blame them, in their eyes, Shaanzhou is a rich paradise, Li Zongbao They played well, can they return empty-handed? It must be a full load.

There are not a few ministers who think like this, and beautiful little stars appear in their eyes, as if they have been rolling on the mountains of gold and silver.

Just in the expectation of the monarchs and ministers, Li Zongbao and Liang Xi came in. When the monarchs and ministers saw the situation of the two, their hearts chuckled, and they secretly said that it was not good.

Li Zongbao and Liang Xi have lost their human form, not to mention that they have lost a lot of weight, and they are even less energetic, and they have to be supported when they walk. If no one had helped, the two would have fallen to the ground.

The two of them were in rags, their shape was ruined, they were wilting, and they looked weak, as if they were not far from death.

"This ......" recalled the high spirits of the two when they set out on the expedition, and the monarchs and ministers didn't believe it at all, and thought they had seen it wrong, so they couldn't help but rub their eyes and look at it again, yes, it's the two of them! It's two people who are about to die!

"How did you get like this?" Li Bingchang screamed, took a step forward, his eyes widened, and he asked.

"Your Majesty, your courtiers...... Long live sin! Li Zongbao stammered in reply, gasping for air.

"What are your sins?" Li Bingchang felt more and more uncomfortable, and asked anxiously.

"The ministers are defeated and retreated in Shaanzhou......" Liang Xi's words were interrupted before he began.

"What? You were defeated in Shaanzhou? Didn't you play well? You fought the best battle in Great Xia for decades, how could you be defeated? Li Bingchang absolutely didn't want to believe it, and the screams suddenly rose up, high-pitched and harsh, even worse than the voice of the eunuch!

The Battle of Shaanzhou was a great victory that Western Xia had never had in decades, and who wanted to accept the news of defeat? Not only Li Bingchang was unwilling, but even the ministers were also unwilling, and they all looked unbelieving.

"200,000 Western soldiers followed, took Hengshan, and entered the territory of Great Xia!" Li Zongbao is too much of a thing, and he even reported another shocking news.

"Boom!" Li Bingchang knocked over a table, and the cups and saucers fell everywhere: "Impossible!" No way! 200,000 Western soldiers entered the territory of Great Xia! That's impossible! No way! ”

He looked up to the sky and roared hoarsely, not believing it at all.

"Oh my God!" A scream sounded, coming from the mouths of a group of ministers: "A Wu Ji is already difficult to control, and there are 200,000 western soldiers, how can this be good?" ”

"That's a soldier from the West! 200,000 Western soldiers! ”

"The Western Soldiers are the fierce enemies of Great Xia! If it weren't for the Western Soldiers, Great Xia would have entered the Guanzhong long ago! ”

When the ministers heard the news, they were so frightened that their legs trembled and they spoke with a crying voice.

Although the Western Xia had the upper hand for decades, the ministers knew that the Western soldiers were fierce opponents. Although the Western Xia had the upper hand, they were never able to enter Shaanzhou, at most they went to plunder, and then hurried to flash people. They knew very well in their hearts that if they fought the Western soldiers head-on, the Western Xia would not be able to defeat them no matter what.

Now that the Western soldiers have taken Hengshan and entered the territory of Western Xia, and there are still 200,000 of them, can they not be afraid?

Not only the ministers were frightened, but even Li Bingchang, the emperor, was shocked, with a look of fear, a pair of hands covering his chest, panting, and unable to speak.

"How many soldiers and horses have you lost? What about the Iron Harrier? Li Bingchang finally stabilized his mood and asked loudly.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, and the soldiers are lost, and the casualties are nearly thirty percent. Iron Harrier is undamaged! Li Zongbao didn't want to report it, but he had to report it.

"Whew!" Li Bingchang breathed a long sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "The iron harrier is undamaged, that's good!" That's good! ”

The Iron Harrier is the most elite army in Western Xia and the pillar of Western Xia, as long as the Iron Harrier is not damaged, it will be easy to do.

"You say, how should Great Xia deal with it?" As long as the iron harrier is there, Li Bingzhu's confidence is enough, and he is no longer frightened, but asks about it.

"In total, there are two plans for Daxia today, one is to search for soldiers and prepare to fight to the death with the Song army! The second is to send people to negotiate peace with Wu Ji to delay time. Li Zongbao and Liang Xi glanced at each other and said the plan they had already calculated.

"Accurate!" Li Bingchang's eyes lit up, and he said: "Spread my will, mobilize all the troops in the country, and fight to the death with the Song army!" The warriors of Great Xia, whether in the mountains and dense forests, or in the deep valleys and streams, must participate in the battle! ”
