Although Renli also saw the soldiers and horses of the Liang State open the wooden fence at the gap, they did not have the delusion to take the opportunity to seize the city, the combination of fire and thunder and the divine arm crossbow made them see the gap as if they were seeing a trap.

The Lingzhou guard said anxiously: "Lingzhou can't be defended, and Xingqing Mansion can't be defeated for a while, so what are we going to do here?" Wait for Liang Guo's soldiers and horses to attack back and forth? ”

When everyone heard what the Lingzhou guard said, they all retreated, and no one thought that they could do better than Brother Cha and Li Qianshun.

Renli also saw everyone's thoughts, and sighed: "I originally thought that the Central Plains was in turmoil, and my Xia Kingdom was about to prosper, but I didn't expect to invite the disaster of destroying the country. If we disperse, we will inevitably be defeated by the soldiers and horses of the Liang State, and Great Xia will really die. ”

Although the Jingzhou guard felt that benevolence was wrong, he also did not want to see the death of Great Xia, and when he heard this, he said: "Does King Shu have any plans?" ”

Renli looked around at everyone and said, "The Yinchuan Plain can't be defended, the army of the Liang State is menacing, and we can only avoid its edge." The 200,000 soldiers and horses led by my brother are returning from Huanqing Road, and we can lead the troops to Yanzhou, join my brother's army, and then come to seize the Yinchuan Plain. ”

When the soldiers and horses of Dingzhou heard this, they frowned and said: "Most of the soldiers under my command are in the Yinchuan Plain, and if you give up the Yinchuan Plain and go to Yanzhou, I'm afraid they won't agree." ”

Renli said: "We are not giving up the Yinchuan Plain, and we will recapture the states of the Yinchuan Plain when we join the army." How much blood did my ancestors spill before they established the country of the party members, and now the national crisis is at hand, and only by uniting can we get through the difficulties and revitalize Daxia. The survival of Great Xia is all on everyone. ”

Regardless of whether they were dissatisfied with Daxia or not, they were all very loyal to the country established by the party, except for some Han and Tibetan generals.

However, Renli could only try to win the support of the party members at this time, even if the Han people supported him as always. He may not dare to believe it, after all, Daliang is the country of the Han people. As for the Tubo people, they have always been the same as the Qing Tang Qiang back then, hovering between the Han and the Dangxiang people. Now that the Han people are powerful, it is difficult for Renli to trust the Tibetan people.

"I'll follow you to the death."

A group of party generals were also enthusiastic about Renli's words, and they swore allegiance one after another.

Renli nodded and said: "Okay, the military situation is urgent, in order to avoid being flanked by the soldiers and horses of the Liang State, we will retreat to Yanzhou, and at the same time Pegasus will notify the remaining defenders of Shunzhou and Lingzhou." Retreat to Yanzhou together. ”

"Yes"

The generals did not inform their subordinates, and immediately retreated to Jingzhou in the south.

It wasn't until the evening that the soldiers below gradually learned about Renli's decision.

The next day, people began to flee one after another, although many party soldiers were ready to fight for Bactria . But more people are still thinking about their own lives and the lives of their families.

Chao Yong's own soldiers had just transported their weapons to the city wall, and everyone was still waiting for the Tangut people to drive the people to come again and use weapons to help them fight. Unexpectedly, the Tanguts abandoned the half-filled moat and retreated directly.

Yao Pingzhong was puzzled: "Could it be that the Xixia people were killed and retreated by their own people?" ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Then I should count the battle exploits on the heads of the Western Xia people?" ”

Sun Li said with a smile: "It is very likely that the Western Xia people have received the news that my army is heading north. ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he was unwilling to say: "My viscount is only five people away, and the Western Xia people will not retreat from the army, right?" ”

Chao Yong smiled: "If you are not tired, go and see where the Western Xia soldiers and horses have retreated?" ”

Liu Qi also knew that the crown prince was the viscount who fulfilled him, and arched his hand and said: "The last general is willing to go." ”

Han Shizhong and Yao Pingzhong had no hope of completing the decapitation of the viscount. However, he was not worried that Liu Qi would go out of the city alone, and he bowed his hand and said: "The last general is willing to go with him." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Then you can go." ”

"Order."

The three of them hugged their fists heavily, got down to the city, and rode away.

Chao Yong jumped on the battlements. Looking down at the soldiers at the head of the city, he said: "The soldiers who participated in the war today will each be rewarded with ten yuan." The battle of Xingqing Mansion ended here, and all the troops below the capital head were promoted to the capital head, and the capital head was promoted by one level above. Each person appreciates a hundred acres of land,"

The imperial treasury was not abundant. But there is no shortage of land. Nowadays, the imperial court has distributed the land as part of the pension for the wounded and wounded, but it has not yet rewarded the soldiers on active duty.

This raid on Xingqing Mansion destroyed Western Xia. 5,000 Liangshan veterans have made great contributions.

All centurions and below are promoted to centurions, and centurions are promoted by one level. In fact, ordinary soldiers have only been promoted by two levels, and the ten-captain has been promoted by one level, and no one has been promoted to three levels. Moreover, the promotion is not a real position, but a rank officer, which does not have a great impact on the army, and the rank officer is only related to salary, and does not necessarily get the corresponding official position. However, everyone has reached the top of the capital, and after the expiration of their service, they are free to choose whether to continue to serve in the army or retire from the army.

Only the reward makes Chao Yong embarrassed, in the past in the Central Plains, he broke the city once and rewarded several times, but now he went deep into the hinterland of Western Xia and broke the capital of Western Xia, and the reward was not too much. However, more than 5,000 people, if you reward hundreds of thousands of yuan at a time, it is also a big expense for the imperial court. That's why Chao Yong decided to reward the land.

For the imperial court, land is now the most scarce, for the soldiers, land is also an important wealth, and the imperial court is exempt from agricultural taxes, and the value of land will only get higher and higher, that is, the annual rent collection can support the family. It is for sale, and a hundred acres of land can be sold for hundreds of yuan, which can be said to be a heavy reward.

Of course, the imperial court could also sell the land directly and still reward the soldiers with money, but Chao Yong did not want to calculate the gains and losses.

"Long live the Prince"

"Long live the Prince"

"Long live the Prince"

When the soldiers heard the prince say this, they also knew that the Tangut people had completely retreated. The Tanguts would not give up their resistance, but the raid on Xingqing Mansion and the campaign to destroy the Tangut were over.

Although it is not a wife, a hundred acres of land is enough to pass on the family. Moreover, with such a result, the casualties of the whole army were very small, only a dozen unlucky soldiers were shot and killed, and the wounded soldiers were only more than 100 people. Obviously, the casualties will receive more generous pensions.

Everyone cheered heartily, and the cheers spread from the south gate to the east and west gates, and finally the north gate also began to respond.

For a time, there were continuous cheers on the four city walls, and the entire Xingqing Mansion was enveloped in the cheers of the Liang soldiers.

The people in the city also guessed something from the cheers, the party members trembled and wept in the cheers, and the Han people completely put aside their worries and followed the cheers.

Many of the big families in the city began to prepare to offer gifts to the crown prince, and Li Renai and Yelu Nanxian in the palace hugged their heads and cried. (To be continued)
