Li Qianshun ran for a few miles with a few personal guards, and when he heard that the pursuers behind him suddenly dispersed, they chased after him from behind. I can't care about the direction, so I can only run forward.

"Whoa"

When Li Qianshun was fleeing for his life in panic, he heard the sound of running water in front of him.

Oh no, I was driven to the water's edge.

There was a large river to the south of the camp in Western Xia, which flowed from west to east.

The prince of Daliang led a large army from the north, and the Liupan Mountain Pass in the east was blocked by the Deshun army, and only the state capitals in the west were either defeated by the Western Xia or presented to the Western Xia by the Qiang people in the territory, and the Western Xia soldiers and horses were stationed.

Therefore, Li Qianshun prepared to flee to the western state capital, and then return to Western Xia.

It's just that I didn't expect to be chased by the army for a while, and I actually ran in the wrong direction and ran to the big river in the south.

Sure enough, he didn't run far, and he came to the river, a few zhang wide river, Li Qianshun, who didn't know how to water, couldn't cross it on horseback, so he could only run west along the river.

Suddenly, a guard pointed to the river and said, "My lord, there is a boat on the river." ”

Li Qianshun looked over, and sure enough, there was a small boat on the river, and there was a lamp hanging from the bow of the boat.

Li Qianshun doubted: "How can there be people sailing at this time?" ”

"People who sell smuggled salt or do other business that is not allowed by the government often smuggle in at night. ”

Li Qianshun also felt reasonable, and when he heard that the pursuers were already pouring towards the river, he couldn't care much more, and hurriedly signaled his guards to shout.

A soldier who could speak Chinese immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "The boatman on the river, cross the river with us, and pay more money with you." ”

The boatman on the river also seemed to hear the shouts of his own soldiers, and stopped in the middle of the river.

When the guards saw this, they hurriedly shouted, "Cross us, and you won't have to do business again." ”

The boatman seemed to be moved by the words and leaned over.

When I arrived, I saw a man with a large figure standing at the bow of the boat, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a red face. There are also two older men in the back, who don't seem to be good dealers.

Li Qianshun heard that the pursuers behind him were approaching, and he didn't care to speak, so he hurriedly led people to abandon their horses and get on the boat, urging the boatmen to cross the river.

As soon as he reached the center of the river, Sun Li chased him to the river and hurriedly shouted: "It's the Han people on the boat, you are saving the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, shake it quickly." ”

When Li Qianshun heard this, he hurriedly asked the guards to watch the two men who were rocking the oars.

The boatman smiled: "You are really the lord of Western Xia?" ”

"Exactly."

Li Qianshun is also the lord of a country, and although he is in some trouble now, he is not afraid to admit his identity.

The boatman heard that it was Li Qianshun, and couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

On the shore, Sun Li saw that the boat in the river was still rocking to the opposite bank, and shouted: "If you don't stop the boat, I will release the arrow." ”

When Li Qianshun heard this, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly drew his sword, preparing to resist the arrows.

But the boatman shouted: "General Sun, don't release the arrow, I'm Li Jun." ”

Li Qianshun heard that the boatman knew General Daliang, and he didn't feel right, so he hurriedly signaled his guards to arrest Li Jun.

The two had just taken a step, but Li Jun plunged into the water with a fierce son.

Tong Wei and Tong Meng, who were rocking the oars behind, also jumped into the water together.

Li Qianshun hurriedly asked the guards to rock the oar.

The two guards did not know how to steer the boat, and after a few swings of the oar, the boat spun in the river.

When Li Qianshun was in a hurry, he heard the sound of "coo-dong" under his feet.

"It's out of the water."

"It's also watery over here."

Li Qianshun saw that water was rising in several places on the ship's board, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly block the water inlet." ”

It turned out that Li Jun and the others had made many holes in the boat, and they all plugged them from underneath with plugs. The three of them pulled out the plug from below, how could Li Qianshun and the others block it, but in a moment, the boat sank into the water.

Li Qianshun didn't know how to water, and he was wearing armor, so he fell into the water and sank to the bottom, struggling with his hands and feet.

Li Jun originally wanted to go up to catch Li Qianshun, but when he saw a personal soldier beside Li Qianshun who was cut into two pieces by Li Qianshun with a sword, he was also startled, so he had to watch Li Qianshun float and sink in the water.

Li Qianshun struggled for a while, drank a stomach of water, and then calmed down.

Li Jun saw that there was no danger, so he swam over and picked up Li Qianshun and came to the shore.

Sun Li watched Li Jun and Tong Wei Tong Meng drag Li Qianshun out of the water from the shore, and couldn't help but wonder: "How did Brother Li Jun come here?" ”

Li Jun hugged his fists and said: "The younger brother originally led the water army to transport grain and grass to Wating Village, but I didn't expect that General Lu and General Dong had already arrived in the Deshun army. The younger brother escorted the grain and grass to the Deshun army, and the two of them went to attack the camp tonight. The younger brother had nothing to do in the city, so he and Tong Wei and Tong Meng went to the river to try their luck to see if any Western Xia generals bumped into the river. Unexpectedly, he caught Li Qianshun and robbed his brother of the business, and his brother forgave him. ”

Sun Li shook his head helplessly and said: "Today, the prince dispatched soldiers and horses, five people caught lots, and I was the last one, but I didn't expect them to catch the air and let me come here to ambush." I thought I was lucky enough, but I didn't expect my brother's luck to be even better. ”

Li Jun said with a smile: "If it weren't for my brother chasing Li Qianshun in a panic, my younger brother wouldn't have had this luck." Li Qian, by the way, we were captured together, how about it? ”

Sun Li said with a smile: "What you caught is what you caught, and it's not bad that I captured Li Qianshun's Maxima." This horse is good, and it has disappeared in the blink of an eye. ”

Li Qianshun, who was captured by Sun Li, did not dare to be careless, so he took soldiers and horses to escort Li Jun and several people to the Deshun army.

When the group arrived at the Deshun army, the sky was already a little bright.

The division defending the city had already learned the news of the defeat of Western Xia, and when they saw the black-clothed and black-armored soldiers and horses, they also ordered the city gate to be opened.

Li Qianshun had been rescued by Li Jun, but he didn't expect him to enter the Deshun army that had besieged for more than a month like this, and he was also full of emotion in his heart.

Li Qianshun, who was besieging the city for more than a month, was naturally no stranger to the planters, and when he saw Li Qianshun being caught between Sun Li, Li Jun and the soldiers behind him, he immediately ran down the city.

After besieging the city for more than a month, less than 5,000 of the 30,000 Deshun army remained.

When the seed master saw Li Qianshun as the culprit, his eyes were suddenly blood-red, and he wanted to pull out his knife and behead Li Qianshun several times, but he was stopped by reason.

Li Qianshun also saw the hesitation in the seed master, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Don't come to the seed general. ”

Li Jun and Sun Li respected him as the lord of a country, but they did not bind him, but only took all the weapons on him and gave him an inferior horse. The original Maxima has become Sun Li's trophy.

The seed master gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I was still showing off my might outside the city, but I didn't expect to become a prisoner so soon." ”

Li Qianshun smiled: "Maybe in a few days, the general will have to send me out of the city, haha." ”

Li Jun looked at Li Qianshun strangely and said, "The lord of the Western Xia Kingdom is a fool's dream, right?" ”

Li Qianshun said with a smile: "I already know the current situation of Daliang, and if you arrest me, I'm afraid that Xixia will not give up." Daliang is powerless to entangle in the northwest, and the prince should let my country pay a ransom to redeem me like Liao. ”

When Sun Li and Li Jun heard this, they couldn't help but think about it.

The planter said with a smile: "I also understand the situation in Western Xia. Let you go back, Xixia is still monolithic. Your son is still young, and if he kills you, there will definitely be civil strife in Western Xia. Hahaha"

When Li Qianshun heard this, he couldn't help but sink in his heart, but he still forced himself to calm down and said: "My prince was born to the princess of Liao, even if you kill me, no one in Western Xia will dare to fight for power with my prince." When the time comes, he will surely pour all the troops of the whole country to take revenge. ”

In fact, he also knew that the lord of a country was captured, and the possibility of redemption was very small, but he was not willing to give up hope completely. His crown prince was only fourteen years old at this time, although he was smart since childhood, but his surname was a little weak, and he usually loved dancing and writing, and he was quite sentimental about a poet. If he is made to be the king of Shoucheng, with the Liao State to take care of him, he may be able to barely do it. But let him be ordered in danger, I am afraid that even the people in the country will not be able to deter them, let alone protect the country. Moreover, Brother Cha and Wei Ming Anhui died in battle, and the power of the royal family dropped greatly, and the Renduo family was afraid that they would come out to make trouble again.

After the founding of the Western Xia, there were three major families, Weiming, Renduo, and Liang, and the Liang family successively produced two queen mothers who controlled the government, and the royal Weiming family was overwhelmed.

After Li Qianshun became pro-government, he naturally wanted to avenge his father, who had been a puppet all his life, and himself who had been controlled for more than ten years, but fortunately, before he became pro-government, Empress Dowager Xiao Liang and her brother Liang Yikui**, Liang Yikui conspired to usurp power, and Empress Dowager Xiao Liang killed half of the disobedient people of Liang Yikui and the Liang family. Therefore, after Li Qianshun succeeded to the throne, he easily wiped out the Liang family.

The three major families, the Liang family is gone, and the royal family and the Renduo family are left.

When the Empress Dowager Liang was in charge of the government, the Renduo family also had a lot of dealings with the Liang family in order to protect themselves and for their rights, and Li Qianshun naturally would not destroy the Liang family, but let the Renduo family go.

It's just that Renduo Baozhong has led troops in Western Xia for many years, and his forces are intertwined, and Li Qianshun has just cleaned up many people in the Liang family, and he is also afraid that the Great Purge will cause turmoil in Western Xia, so he can only forbear. It wasn't until Brother Cha gradually grasped the power in the army that Li Qianshun seized the evidence that Renduo Baozhong planned to defect to the Song Dynasty and dismissed Renduo Baozhong.

Although Li Qianshun had evidence that Renduo Baozhong was ready to commit treason to the Song Dynasty, due to Renduo Baozhong's power in the army, Li Qianshun could only remove Renduo Baozhong from his military position.

Renduo Baozhong is not only a Western Xia general, but also a scheming general. When the Empress Dowager Xiao Liang was powerful, she befriended the Liang family, Liang Yikui was ready to usurp power, and Renduo Baozhong helped the Empress Dowager Liang get rid of the Empress Dowager Liang's brother Liang Yikui. After that, he became a confidant of the Empress Dowager Liang and mastered more military power.

It's just that he didn't expect that the Liao State would suddenly kill the Empress Dowager Liang, and after Li Qianshun became pro-government, he, as the confidant of the Empress Dowager Liang, naturally had a hard time. He also knew that Li Qianshun would not let him go, and it happened that at this time, Wang Hou, the general of the Song Dynasty, and Cai Jing, the minister of power, recruited him, and Renduo Baozhong also moved his mind. It's just that I didn't expect Cai Jing to be secretive, and the letter to Renduo Baozhong was robbed by the Western Xia intelligence agency Yipintang.

Li Qianshun took the evidence of Renduo's loyalty, and immediately removed Renduo Baozhong's position, allowing Chage to take over the rights of Renduo's loyal army.

In recent years, although Brother Cha has cleared the forces of the Renduo family out of the army, but Renduo Baozhong is still alive, Brother Cha died in battle, the lord of the country was captured again, it is difficult to ensure that Renduo Baozhong does not come out to make trouble, if Renduo Baozhong coercs some people to vote for the beam, then the Western Xia is in danger.
