Chao Yong also won a lot along the way, when the Western Xia soldiers and horses came to sneak attack, the camp suddenly threw a large fire and thunder to the Western Xia soldiers with a stone thrower, which instantly made the Western Xia soldiers and horses chaotic.

As soon as Lu Zhishen and Wu Song came out of the ambush, most of the Xixia people knelt on the ground and begged for surrender. The stubborn ones were soon killed, and Mu Hong also led people out of the camp to chase and kill for more than ten miles.

At dawn, Chao Yong received Sun Li's report and learned that Li Jun had picked up the leak, and he also laughed. At that moment, he ordered the troops to come to the Deshun army.

Chao Yong, Seed Master Dao, and Xu Guanzhong walked side by side, and the three of them were a little thoughtful.

Seed Master Dao has been fighting against Western Xia all his life, although he has won many victories and few defeats, but the result achieved is nothing more than pulling out a city in Western Xia, or building a city in the important places of the two countries. There has never been an example of capturing a Western Xia general, let alone capturing a Western Xia lord.

Xu Guanzhong has traveled all over the world, knows the situation in the world, and although he has all kinds of ambitions, he can only live in seclusion in the countryside. I thought that the Central Plains would be ruined in the hands of Zhao Ji again, but I didn't expect the beam to be born out of thin air and sweep away the universe. Not only do you no longer have to worry about being invaded by foreign enemies, but you may also wipe out all countries and reproduce the domineering spirit of the strong Han and Tang Dynasty.

Chao Yong looked at the wooded Liupan Mountain in the east and considered going on a safari in his spare time.

The spring breeze was proud, and unconsciously, the towering city of the Deshun army had appeared in the distance, but after the baptism of war for more than a month, the damage to the city wall could be seen from afar.

Lu Junyi, Dong Ping, Sun Li, Li Jun, Seed Master, Yao Gu and others all went out of the city to greet the prince.

The generals of the Western Army also lost their arrogance, and they saluted respectfully one by one.

The earth mountain piled up by the Xixia people is still there, and the city wall is also full of pits smashed by stone-throwing trucks, and some battlements at the head of the city have been directly smashed without a trace.

When he got closer, looking at the traces left by the battle, Chao Yong stopped and said to the seed master behind him: "How many defenders are there in the city now?" ”

The planter said sadly, "There are four thousand three hundred and twenty-one people left." ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said, "It's so miserable, it's because I'm late." ”

Yao Gu hurriedly said: "The prince is non-stop, and as soon as he repelled the soldiers and horses of the Liao State, he rushed to the northwest again. We are incompetent, and I am ashamed to let the prince run so around. ”

Chao Yong said: "General Yao is polite, if you don't stick to the Deshun army, I'm afraid that Li Qianshun's soldiers and horses will poison more state capitals." On behalf of the emperor, I named the general Deshunbo, and General Yao as Xihebo, and the rest of the soldiers will be rewarded after the merit is reported to the imperial court. All the defenders will be rewarded with ten yuan each, and the local officials will work together to arrange the funeral of the fallen soldiers, and the reward of the imperial court will be implemented within a month. ”

When the seed master and Yao Gu heard this, they hurriedly thanked him on the horse.

The Deshun army that entered the group led Chao Yong to the government office.

Everyone reported the results of the battle, and Lu Junyi and Dong Ping killed more than 3,000 Xixia people and captured more than 15,000 people; Sun Libu killed more than 1,000 people and captured more than 3,000 people; The exploits of Chao Yong's troops have not yet been counted, but there are more than 30,000 prisoners alone, and less than half of Li Qianshun's more than 90,000 troops have escaped.

"Where is Li Qianshun?"

As soon as everyone finished reporting the results of the battle, they heard someone shouting outside.

Chao Yong doesn't need to look at it to know that it is Li Kui, and those who are not stopped by his own soldiers are all old men from Liangshan, but everyone else will also ask to see him according to the rules, and Li Kui is the only one who is so angry.

Li Kui broke in, saw that everyone was sitting on both sides, and he didn't feel embarrassed, and said to Chao Yong with a big grin: "I have killed anyone, but I have never killed the emperor, I heard that Brother Li Jun caught Li Qianshun, and the prince handed over this errand to me." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Who said that Li Qianshun was going to be killed?" ”

Li Kui glared at the bull's eye and said, "If you don't kill him, you still raise him." ”

The people sitting in the hall were all captains, and Li Kui was the commander of thousands under Lu Junyi.

The old man of Liangshan under Lu Junyi, Zhang Qing has the most military achievements, and then Li Kui comes down, but Li Kui's merits are basically how many levels of beheading, and few prisoners are left. And Li Kui is unruly, only Yan Qing can convince Li Kui, although Jiao Ting can beat Li Kui, but he can't convince Li Kui.

Lu Junyi saw Li Kui breaking into the hall again, and couldn't help shouting: "How to deal with it, the prince has his own decision, whoever lets you break in, don't go out." ”

Li Kui was not afraid of Lu Junyi at all, and smiled at Chao Yong: "Then you discuss, the prince is going to kill Li Qianshun, and you must let me do it." ”

After saying that, he bowed his hand to everyone and went away.

Chao Yong watched Li Kui go out, and then said, "Everyone, tell me how to deal with this Li Qianshun?" ”

The seed master said: "Li Qianshun's invasion, the northwest army and civilians have suffered countless casualties, and the last general thinks that he should be beheaded to show the public, and spread the head to the borders, so that the Xixia people know the fate of violating our Daliang border." ”

Lu Junyi said: "I'm afraid this will provoke the Xixia people to retaliate and keep committing offenses, right?" Although the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia are not to be worried, our dynasty is also powerless to entangle with the Western Xia. ”

The seed master said with a smile: "In this invasion of Western Xia, more than 300,000 soldiers and horses were lost on both sides, and Li Qianshun was captured alive. At that time, many people in his country would want to ask for peace with our Daliang, and they resolutely did not dare to provoke again. ”

Seed Master Dao nodded and said: "Western Xia is not monolithic, especially in recent years, Li Qianshun has offended many tribes and families in order to improve the control of the royal family. As long as Li Qianshun dies, these people will inevitably be ready to move. We can also recruit some of them, and perhaps we can disintegrate Western Xia without using troops. On the contrary, if Western Xia was allowed to pay a ransom to redeem Li Qianshun, although the imperial court could get a lot of money, Li Qianshun would probably be able to deter others when he returned. In a few years, when I want to destroy the Western Xia, I am afraid that there will be more casualties. ”

Chao Yong said helplessly: "I originally wanted to exchange Li Qianshun for the Western Xia Han people to come back, but when I said this, I still couldn't let Li Qianshun return to China." ”

The seed master thought for a while and said, "The prince is merciful, but if you let Li Qianshun go back, it will be like a tiger returning to the mountain." Not only Li Qianshun, but also the Western Xia soldiers arrested this time could not be put back. Without this group of captives, the Western Xia will inevitably be greatly injured, if the Western Xia has another dispute, plus some soldiers, with the help of firearms, maybe the Western Xia will be destroyed. ”

When Chao Yong heard this, he was also interested and asked, "How sure is Xianggong?" ”

The seed master shook his head and said: "This also depends on the situation in Western Xia, if there is no civil strife in Western Xia." It is not easy to pacify the Western Xia, although this battle exterminated more than 300,000 Western Xia people, but only my Han people hit Ling Lang nearly 100,000. The loss of the Tangut people was no more than 200,000. I am afraid that Western Xia can still organize three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses. Moreover, the women of the Western Xia are stout and can also participate in the war, and in the past few years, they have built an army by themselves, called Ma Kui, and their combat power is not inferior to other soldiers and horses in the Western Xia. It was only after Li Qianshun came to power that the female soldiers were abolished. If the war is urgent, I'm afraid they will form Ma Kui to go to the battlefield again. ”

Chao Yong heard that the Western Xia people were so strong, so he had no choice but to break the delusion in his heart, and said with a smile: "Then the matter of plotting against the Western Xia generals will be handed over to the Northwest Duke." ”

The seed master nodded and said: "The seed family has been in the northwest for decades, and they are also familiar with various tribes, so it is just right to do this." But what conditions can the court promise them? ”

Chao Yong thought for a while and said, "The title is up to the son, and the number of soldiers cannot exceed 1,000, and the money can be rewarded more." ”

The seed master nodded and said, "Okay, don't let them be high-ranking officials, and let them know that my Liang can kill them at any time, and it doesn't mean that they have to surrender." ”

Yao Gu also knew that this errand could only be done by the breeder, and it was thankless for him to fight for it, but another errand was something that the Yao family could do.

Seeing that the two of them had discussed, he said: "To kill Li Qianshun, the leaders must use people who are familiar with the terrain and skilled in martial arts, so as not to be recaptured by the Tangut people Li Qianshun's head." The last general will promote Yao Pingzhong to do this. ”

Chao Yong heard Yao Pingzhong, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

The generals at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, he didn't know much, but Yao Pingzhong was one of them, not because he was good at fighting, but because he was good at escaping. When the Jin soldiers invaded, Yao Pingzhong led people to raid the Jin army camp, but failed, and immediately abandoned the soldiers and horses, ran 800 miles in one breath and fled into Shuzhong to live in seclusion.

There are many defeated generals, but it is rare for people to flee 800 miles in one go, so Chao Yong remembers this person.

Chao Yong knew about Yao Pingzhong's deeds, so he was naturally a little uneasy, and said with a smile: "Could it be the Yao family general?" ”

The generals of the Western Army are famous all over the world, Yao Gu didn't think there was anything wrong, and nodded: "Exactly, although the nephew of the last general is twenty-four years old, he has been in the army for many years, and he is proficient in martial arts, and he is also a leader among the younger generation of the Western Army." ”

Chao Yong saw that Yao Gu dared to say this in front of the seed master, and also knew that Yao Pingzhong must have something outstanding, but he was not skilled in martial arts, so he could take on heavy responsibilities, and said with a smile: "Since he is the general of the Yao family, there should be no mistakes, but he has to pass on the first side, I am afraid that one person is a little unsafe, so let Han Shizhong, Liu Qi and Yao Pingzhong do this together." The two of them are also veteran generals in the army, and the three of them work together to take a trip to the Western Xia frontier, and maybe they can leave a good story. ”

As he spoke, he said to the planter next to him: "Is there still a candidate for the planter?" ”

"I'm not familiar with Han Shizhong, Yao Pingzhong and Liu Qi are both leaders in the gate, and it's enough for them to go."

The seed master Dao also knew that Chao Yong was taking care of the seed general, but the seed master had no successor. Seed Master Dao has two sons, but both have passed away, and his grandson Chong Yansong died early, leaving only Chong Yanchong. Although Chong Yanchong has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, his martial arts are not prominent, so he has always stayed by his side and has no reputation.

Although it is likely to go in the annals of history, the Xixia people will inevitably be surrounded and intercepted, and people with ordinary martial arts will inevitably die in their lives, and he doesn't want to send white-haired people to black-haired people anymore.

There are two sons in the breeder, but the grandchildren are only ordinary, and the breeder will have no successors. Although the Yao family is also thin, there is a Yao Pingzhong. Liu Zhongwu also has two outstanding sons, Liu Qi and Liu Xi.

Every time I think about this, I feel a little lost. (To be continued.) )
