Shi Miyuan still left Luoyang City, and he couldn't even wait for the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

He fought back his excitement and felt that he had finally taken the most important first step.

Guo Mo, Guo Mo, let your martial arts outstanding, let you command hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, but unfortunately, people's desire and greed have always been your biggest weakness.

Shi Miyuan is a person in a high position, and he deeply understands that once a person reaches that position, he doesn't want to come down again, and his mind is full of only to keep his vested interests.

Or, go for a higher position.

Shi Mi came all the way to Luoyang, and his only bargaining chip was the desire in Guo Mo's heart, people are not afraid that you are ambitious, but they are afraid that you don't.

Sitting in the carriage back to Lin'an, the guards who secretly protected him were no longer hidden, and they all appeared one by one, clustering around the front and back of the carriage, and there were about fifty people.

"Master, look at your expression, are you complacent about this trip to Luoyang?"

Shi Gang and Shi Yong, the leaders of these guards, have followed Shi Miyuan for many years, and they are extremely happy to see their master, and they rarely take the initiative to talk.

"Haha, you two boys, you have been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, why don't you even understand the rules? If you shouldn't ask, don't ask, hahaha-"

Although he was reprimanding, he couldn't see any unhappiness in Shi Miyuan.

The spring is cold, the eyes are full of gloom, and there is no scenery to speak of along the way, but Shi Miyuan always makes people open the curtains.

"Well, let's not talk about anything else about this kid, this 'hero drunk' is really good, but it's too expensive, and it costs a hundred taels of silver for five catties of a jar."

Shi Miyuan's carriage also brought two jars of "hero drunk", of course, which were given to him for free.

He had already agreed with Guo Mo that he would take two hundred jars of "hero drunk" from him every month, but he exchanged it for grain, which was equivalent to one hundred taels of silver, in exchange for five catties of "hero drunk".

This condition is the result of the great happiness of both sides, Shi Miyuan is in the Jiangnan area, there is a large number of privately produced fertile land, double cropping rice, even he himself is not very clear, how much rice is stored in his warehouse.

The subordinates have all left and returned to their respective territories, and there are only three people in the Xiaohua Hall: Guo Mo, Zhao Rushu and Lao Cheng Jue.

Wu Nantian was in charge of serving tea and pouring water on the side, he was originally going to leave with Guo Jing, there were 5,000 Yan King guards, and they were still stationed in Zhending Mansion, which was Zhang Shijie's department.

The night before leaving Luoyang, Wu Nantian suddenly came to Guo Mo and said what he thought in his heart.

It turned out that in the past few years, Wu Nantian and several brothers have been training in various military camps.

Although, he also tried his best to complete all kinds of training projects, whether it was mounted archery, marksmanship, or arranging troops, he could also do a decent job.

However, Wu Nantian himself knows very well that in terms of arranging troops and commanding the army, he is not as good as his senior brother Zhang Shijie, who seems to be a natural handsome talent, and he can see that it is love from his bones.

In terms of charging into battle, he is not as good as the third junior brother Hu Yande and the fourth junior brother Haji, these two are destined to be invincible generals on the battlefield in the future.

And Wu Nantian himself prefers the kung fu of step-by-step, and he yearns for the free rivers and lakes more than the military camp.

When Wu Nantian went to find Guo Mo, he was still cautious, for fear that the master would blame himself for this, so he said his own thoughts, and he was there to ask for guilt.

"Haha, Nan God, what is this? If you like something, just do it according to your own wishes, and why not be obsessed with the rivers and lakes as a teacher? ”

Therefore, there was one less person in the team that set off to return to Hebei the next day.

Wu Nantian stayed by his master's side, he hadn't forgotten his master's expectations of him, and his eighteenth birthday was not far away.

Since he stayed, Guo Mo naturally wanted to devote himself to cultivating this apprentice, in addition to urging him to practice martial arts every day, he usually discussed things with Zhao Rushu and Cheng Jue, and mostly took him with him.

"Your Highness, do you mean that Shi Xiang actually wants to instigate you to go...... To compete with the crown prince? ”

After listening to Guo Mo talk about his secret conversation with Shi Miyuan, whether it was the resourceful Zhao Rushu or the well-informed old Cheng Jue, they were completely dumbfounded.

Zhao Rushu reacted first, but he still didn't dare to say it too explicitly, this kind of thing, no matter how much it can't talk about today's official family, so Zhao Rushu had to say that he was competing for the crown prince.

"Haha, Lao Zhao, can't you see this? This Shi Miyuan, Mingli wants to hold His Highness, and may even promote His Highness's martial arts everywhere, but he definitely wants to put His Highness on the fire to roast. ”

"It's an old routine, but this time it's just Shi Miyuan himself. In this matter, the old man suggested that he write it out as it was, and present it to the current official family, so that he also has a number in his heart. ”

"One is passed on to Lao Xue in Lin'an, with him at least he can protect the overall situation, these people, no matter how much they toss their energy, they are limited."

"Lin'an City is impregnable, most of the 'Imperial City Division' is in the hands of the Southern Four Heroes, and the forbidden army guarding Lin'an is mostly from the 'Dunwu Army', where are you afraid of him?"

Lao Cheng Jue was full of confidence, and even felt that it was a bit invincible to deal with Shi Miyuan like this.

Lao Cheng Jue also found a good place, and it was just one street away from Yanwang's Mansion, a three-entry courtyard, more than enough for more than 100 people, as the government office of the Ministry of Rites in Luoyang City.

It's just that there is only one commander of the old Cheng Guang pole now, and his men and horses are estimated to wait until the first month to arrive at their posts.

Inspired by Lao Cheng, Zhao Rushu was directly next to his Ministry of Rites, and also set up a courtyard and hung the sign of the Ministry of Punishment.

He himself is the secretary of the Criminal Department, but he hasn't returned to Lin'an in the past few years, and he just has an empty title.

This time, the sign of the Criminal Department was hung up, and more than a dozen cadres were screened from several imperial examinations and local officials in various places, and a temporary Criminal Department was formed.

After all, Guo Mo has recovered more and more territory in recent years, and it is impossible to send anything that happens on these territories to the Criminal Department of Lin'an.

In the past, it could only rely on the local state capitals to try the cases themselves, but later there were three major economic and strategic pacification envoys, which were able to deal with the affairs of various regions in a centralized manner.

Now, Luoyang City also has a criminal department, which is naturally more standardized.

The Yanwang Mansion itself is a small imperial court, and Zhao Rushu wears many hats, even now, he is also in charge of personnel selection and assessment, the raising and distribution of money and grain, and the handling of major cases.

Even if he did the work of the three departments of the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, and the Ministry of Households, he had to take care of the affairs of the Yanwang Mansion.

Meng Gong can be regarded as sharing the military department, and now Cheng Jue's Ministry of Rites is responsible for more diplomatic matters, and foreign trade is also under his control.

As for the Ministry of Industry, there is not much infrastructure, it is all arranged by the state capitals themselves, and there are really any public affairs, which are always pushed to Feng Mofeng, who will be the workshop.

"Nanshan Qiaozi" Nan Xiren, still went back to Lin'an, Guo Mo needed someone who could reassure him, looking at the gods and ghosts in Lin'an.

The matter between him and Jin Yufeng, with the joint efforts of Guo Mo and Feng Heng, was decided verbally.

As for when the marriage will be consummated, Jin Yufeng means to obtain the consent of the master, but Nan Xiren is very concerned about Guo Mo's major affairs.

Both of them had that meaning for each other, perhaps thinking that it was all coming a little too quickly, and both had the idea of thinking about it more carefully.

With the end of the Shangyuan Festival, the breath of the New Year has finally gone.

Yanwang's Mansion has also returned to normal, and he has two daughters-in-law, which makes Guo Mo have a headache, and he often doesn't know which yard to go to.

Fortunately, whether it was Huang Rong or Li Mochou, the two had never quarreled in this regard, and even kept urging Guo Mo to go to each other, and several times Guo Mo slept directly in the study.

Although he has two daughters-in-law and a few people who stay in Yanwang's mansion to practice martial arts, Guo Mo accompanies Xiao Guo Xiang the most.

This little girl has a special relationship with Guo Mo, no matter what she does, she is the best in Guo Mo's eyes, Xiao Guo Xiang is tired of being with her father all day long, and she has heard all kinds of stories from her father.

Guo Mo also told a lot of nonsense, especially the story of Journey to the West, which he told early, which child can not like this kind of story of gods and ghosts?

Reading, teaching, accompanying daughters-in-law, taking care of children, or listening to Zhao Rushu's summary of information from all over the world.

In March, Guo Mo also took Xiao Guo Xiang to participate in the "spring ploughing" ceremony held outside Luoyang City.

March has passed, Huang Rong is also more than six months pregnant, and her body is slowly starting to bulky, but Xiao Guo Xiang follows her mother curiously every day, and keeps asking if it will be a younger brother or a younger sister?

As soon as the middle of April arrived, the Yan Wangfu was busy again, but this time it was to prepare for the eighth day of the fifth month, when His Royal Highness the King of Yan married the "Yincheng Princess" of Western Xia.

Now Guo Mo knows that the "Princess Yincheng" who married him this time is not the daughter of Li Dewang, the king of Western Xia, but the daughter of Li Zunwei, the emperor of Western Xia, that is, the eldest princess of Western Xia.

In this way, Guo Mo's heart is better, otherwise he would be a generation shorter.

The latest news from Zhongxing Mansion will be sent to Luoyang by Li Li, the nephew of Li Dewang, the king of Western Xia, as an ambassador to send relatives.

Li Li, Guo Mo also knows, in another time and space, he is the last emperor in the history of Western Xia.

Because after the death of Li Dewang, the king of Western Xia, his son was still young, and the Western Xia, which was in turmoil, elected Li Dewang's nephew Li Li as the new king of Xia.

Unfortunately, when the Mongol army entered the siege of Zhongxingfu, the capital of Western Xia, Li Wei held on for half a year, the food in the city ran out, and a large number of soldiers and civilians fell ill.

There was a strong earthquake again, and the palace rooms in the city were destroyed, so they had to offer the ancestral golden Buddha and gold and silver treasures to the Mongols to ask for surrender.

The Mongolian general Chahan, in order to avoid the fate of Zhongxingfu being slaughtered, personally entered the city to pacify the soldiers and civilians in the city, and Zhongxingfu was preserved, but the Western Xia was officially destroyed.

Guo Mo didn't expect that this Li Li is still revealed, and he will also become his own messenger to send relatives?

Because Huang Rong was already pregnant, the affairs of the Yan Wangfu naturally fell on Li Mochou.

This concubine of King Yan, who has only been out of the door for more than three months, actually began to be busy marrying another new concubine.

Fortunately, there is a golden jade style, and she grew up in Xixia since she was a child, and in the layout of the bride's house, many unique elements of Xixia have been added, so that the "Princess Yincheng" feels at home.

Seeing that it was approaching the end of April, both the "Jingnan Army" in Hebei and the "Dunwu Army" in Western Xia had been carefully preparing for a month, but the other side had never moved at all.

Aren't the Mongols going south this year?

On this day, Guo Mo was taking Xiao Guo Xiang to urge a few people to practice martial arts in the martial arts arena.

After the weather warmed up, everyone changed the place of martial arts practice to the open-air venue again, and the "Dunwu Palace" used in winter became a special practice room for Xiaolongnu.

Xiaolongnu, who is one year older, still has such a cold personality, and there are few people in the entire Yanwang Mansion who can let her take the initiative to say hello.

It's just that the life of more than a year after leaving the ancient tomb, whether it is the change of diet or living environment, has made the originally pale face gradually ruddy.

When she was with Xiao Guo Xiang, Xiao Longnu occasionally showed a rare smile.

Spring came, and Xiaolongnu actually began to teach Xiao Guoxiang how to catch sparrows.

At first, Guo Mo didn't care much, there were just two little girls in Hefu, let them toss.

Unexpectedly, in the past month or so, Xiao Guo Xiang was able to catch eight sparrows in one go, control these eight sparrows between his two little hands, and have a lot of fun.

"Mo Chou, has Xiang'er learned the 'Heaven and Earth Net'?"

When Guo Mo saw it with his own eyes, he was stunned and couldn't believe it at all.

Xiao Guo Xiang was not yet five years old, Guo Mo did not formally teach her to practice martial arts, and Xiao Guo Xiang only learned some basic routines and memorized some exercises and mantras.

But all this in front of her is obviously a real martial arts, if it weren't for her practice, she wouldn't have been able to control the eight little sparrows so easily.

"It is indeed the 'Heaven and Earth Net' of the Ancient Tomb Sect, which can control eight little sparrows at the same time, and this kung fu Xiang'er can be regarded as an entry."

Li Mochou saw it and was also very surprised.

Back then, when she entered the ancient tomb, her master naturally passed on her kung fu, Li Mochou was fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, and he had been practicing kung fu for several years.

It took her more than three months to learn this set of "Heaven and Earth Net", to be able to control eight little sparrows at the same time like Xiao Guo Xiang is now.

Guo Mo's practice has never been viewed from the eyes of ordinary people, but he didn't expect Xiang'er, a five-year-old girl, to be so incredible?

"Xiang'er, come to Daddy—"

Guo Mo beckoned to call Xiao Guo Xiang over, the little girl was sweating profusely, Li Mochou stepped forward, took out his brocade hand, and helped her dry it dotingly.

"Daddy, Sister Long taught me to catch little sparrows to play, at first I couldn't catch any of them, but later I was able to catch them, but I always hurt them."

"Now, I can finally play with eight little sparrows at the same time, Sister Long is even more powerful, she can play with more little sparrows, and Xiang'er has to work harder to do it."

This little girl didn't know that she was already cultivating her body, but she thought she was just playing.

Guo Mo pulled Xiao Guo Xiang closer, secretly injected a trace of "innate true qi" into her body, and slowly ran for a week.

The results obtained confirmed Guo Mo's conjecture, and the trace of "innate true qi" he had left in Xiao Guo Xiang's body before had invisibly grown a little.

However, what Xiao Guo Xiang generated by himself is just ordinary true qi, although it is combined with the original "innate true qi", but it is a reduction in the grade of "innate true qi".

"Xiao Xiang'er is really powerful, then you will learn to catch little sparrows with your sister dragon in the future, and strive to catch as much as your sister dragon."

Xiao Guo Xiang still stubbornly called Xiaolongnu "sister", Xiao Guoxiang was young and ignorant, Xiaolongnu was ignorant of the world, and both of them thought it was good to call it like this.

It's not easy for others to say much, maybe in a few years, when both of them grow up, they will change.

"Don't worry, Rong'er is pregnant now, Xiang'er is reading and reading with her mother-in-law, you take the time to explain the acupuncture points and vein positions around your body to her one by one."

"Now she has a small amount of internal force in her body, but after all, she is still young, so this year I will lay a good foundation for her in all aspects, and then officially pass on her martial arts after she is six years old."

Guo Mo can feel that his daughter, I am afraid that she is also a phenomenal martial arts wizard, maybe better than Guo Xiang in another time and space.

Seeing Xiao Guo Xiang, Guo Mo thought of Yang Guo who was far away on Peach Blossom Island, listening to the descriptions of his mother-in-law Feng Heng and Senior Sister Jin, it seemed that this kid showed a difference last year.

It seems that Xiao Yang Guo should also be a genius, but he can't delay it in his own hands.

Yang Guo is already seven years old, Guo Ping is one year older than him, and his son Zhao Simo, who has never met, is also six years old, although they have a second master with them on Peach Blossom Island, Guo Mo is still a little worried.

However, even if his old father-in-law, the "Eastern Evil" Huang Yaoshi, was willing to teach them, I don't know if he could teach such a young child?

"Master, there is an urgent military report from the 'Dunwu Army', and the person who has come has been brought to the front yard, Zhao Changshi and Cheng Sima please go over as soon as possible——"

As soon as Guo Mo's thoughts flew to Peach Blossom Island, Wu Nantian ran in from outside, and saw that something big seemed to have happened.

"Mo Chou, you look at Xiang'er, I'll come when I go."

Guo Mo handed over Xiao Guo Xiang to Li Mochou to take care of, and walked to the front yard with Wu Nantian.

"Nantian, didn't Zhao Changshi say what was the matter?"

While walking towards the front yard, Guo Mo began to ask Wu Nantian.

"Master, the disciple is not very clear, but I heard that as soon as the person entered the gate of the Yan Wang's Mansion, the war horse he was riding fell to the ground and died, he was tired to death, which shows that the matter is extremely urgent."

There was not much time, Wu Nantian took Guo Mo to the "Hall of Heroes" in the front yard, where Zhao Rushu and Cheng Jue were already waiting, and a sergeant was sitting on the chair next to him.

Zhao Rushu and Cheng Jue were both standing, but the low-ranking lieutenant was leaning on the chair, covered with dust, and had just drunk two large bowls of warm water, and his breath had not completely calmed down.

"Your Highness—"

"Your Highness, the last general, 'Dunwu Army' Meng Ying, see His Royal Highness King Yan-"

Hearing that the two elders of King Yan's Mansion called "Your Highness" to Guo Mo who came in, the person who came knew that His Royal Highness King Yan had arrived, and struggled to get up to give Guo Mo a salute.

"Sit down, you haven't stopped all the way, have you? Nantian, go and let the small kitchen quickly make some ginseng porridge, and take this Captain Meng to take it later. ”

"Just now you said your name is Meng Ying? Are you the brother of the 'Dunwu Army' who controls the Meng Communist Party? ”

Guo Mo remembered that the Meng Gong seemed to have ten brothers, and the Meng Gong was four, and was brought into the "Zhongshun Army" by their father Meng Zongzheng when he was a teenager.

It's just that the Meng Communist Party is too good, but it overshadows the light of several others.

"His Royal Highness's eyes are like torches, that is the fourth brother in the next place, the seventh in the Meng family, this time on the order of Meng Dutong, I came to Luoyang to have an urgent military situation."

Meng Ying said, and took out something from her arms, which was wrapped in a layer of oiled paper, the surface was already soaked with sweat, and inside the oiled paper was a roll of linen-colored silk cloth.

Guo Mo took the silk cloth and shook it out, and there were dense fly-headed small blocks on it.

Something happened in Xixia, to be precise, something happened in Zhongxing City.

Seeing that the date had already happened seven days ago, the Tiemuge Division, which had been resting in "Shazhou" for several months, suddenly sent troops and attacked the adjacent "Guazhou" city at night.

The Western Xia only had 110,000 troops, sticking to the last few big cities, "Guazhou" was already at the forefront, and Li Dewang, the king of Western Xia, sent a clan veteran to guard the town and directly allocated him 50,000 elite soldiers.

Unexpectedly, in a night attack by Timuge, as soon as the sky was bright, the gate of "Guazhou" was lost.

When the city was broken, half of the Western Xia army opened the east gate and retreated, and some of them fled in all directions, and nearly 20,000 people were killed.

It was easy to occupy the city of "Guazhou", and Brother Timu did not attack the residents in the city, but instead put back the hundreds of Western Xia officials and soldiers he had caught after some brainwashing.

What Timur has to do now is no longer to kill as many enemies as he wants, but to make them keep their fear of the Mongols in their hearts and spread it to more Tangut people, so that the entire Tangut will tremble under the iron horses of the Mongols.

Since Borshu led the army to Western Xia, Timur Ge concentrated his original nearly 30,000 iron horsemen in the western part of Western Xia.

Now the two cities in the west, "Shazhou" and "Guazhou" are in his hands, and the next thing is to attack "Suzhou", then "Ganzhou", "Xiliangzhou", and then Zhongxingfu, the capital of Western Xia.

However, Brother Timu, who was hit in one blow, was not in a hurry to attack "Suzhou", how many troops there were in Western Xia, and what kind of troops were deployed, he knew very well in his heart.

In this battle, 20,000 Western Xia troops were eliminated, and after excluding those who fled, the remaining Western Xia army was left with only 80,000 people at most.

And one Zhongxing Mansion is stationed with 40,000 people, so the remaining "Suzhou", "Ganzhou" and "Xiliangzhou" are only more than 10,000 people on average.

This also counts the more than 20,000 defeated troops of Western Xia who have just fled from "Guazhou", and the defeated generals are unspeakably brave.

Brother Timur is waiting, waiting for the more than 20,000 defeated troops to spread the news that they were quickly defeated, and even waiting for the hundreds of Western Xia officials and soldiers who have been brainwashed by them to publicize and publicize for them.

The most important thing is that Timuge received a military report from Borshu, asking him to wait for the good news of Zhongxing Mansion after he took "Guazhou".

Good news?

Timuge didn't understand the meaning of Borshu, but he still acted according to Borshu's military orders.

Don't look at him as Temujin's own brother, even when Temujin was still alive, Borshu was already the number one general in the Mongol army.

Out of respect and trust in Borshu, Timur did not continue to march eastward, but this did not prevent him from constantly sending scouts to inquire about the news.

Sure enough, the news of Guazhou reached Zhongxing Mansion four days later, and of course, Suzhou, Ganzhou, Xiliangzhou and other places along the way had already spread this news that made the entire Western Xia depressed.

These three cities along the way, except for Xiliangzhou, which is slightly larger, is about the same size as Guazhou, like Suzhou and Ganzhou, which is equivalent to the size of a county town in the Great Song Dynasty.

In other words, once Guazhou is lost, before reaching Zhongxingfu, the capital of Western Xia, the only thing with defensive value is only Xiliangzhou.

However, the 50,000 troops stationed in Guazhou can break the city in half a day, can Xiliangzhou hold it?

Where can we find another army of 50,000?

Time passed day by day, and Timuge was stationed in Guazhou and did not advance eastward, but it did not prevent the rich families in several other places from taking the opportunity to leave.

Some people brought their families and entered Zhongxing Mansion eastward, while many more fled directly south to Yinzhou, and some even entered Yan'an Mansion in the Great Song Dynasty.

Among those who fled, there were not only the rich men in the city, but also the soldiers on duty.

When the officers defending the city noticed, they found that a third of the defenders had fled with their horses and weapons.

As a result, Suzhou and Ganzhou are even more panicked, and people with families can be seen everywhere on the road from these two states to the east.

Zhongxing Mansion, Hao Palace.

"Your Majesty, you should quickly think of a way. According to the latest military report, the defenders of Suzhou and Ganzhou add up to less than 10,000 people, but there are still 20,000 horses in Xiliangzhou, but unfortunately there is no general to defend it. ”

The person who reported in front of the King of Western Xia was the actual controller of the current "Yipintang", Li Dewang's closest person, Tuoba Hong.

"Haha, then in addition to Zhongxing Mansion, there are less than 30,000 horses left in the entire Western Xia? The 50,000-strong army is not yet able to hold Guazhou, and less than 30,000 frightened soldiers can stop the Mongolian iron cavalry? ”

At this time, Li Dewang, where is he still full of ambition and high spirits when he first took the position?

"Your Majesty, the 'Princess of Yincheng' asks to see—"

Just then, a waiter came in and said.

As soon as the words fell, a woman walked in from outside, wearing a big red dress, a sword hanging from her waist, and a red veil on her face.

"Imperial sister, is there something wrong with you?"

Seeing that the person who came was self-proclaiming, Tuoba Hong frowned, this person is the legendary "Princess of Yincheng"? It doesn't seem to be under me.

Li Dewang didn't notice this detail, let alone such a sensitive moment now, even if it was in normal times, his imperial sister walked around the palace at will, he wouldn't mind.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Mongols took Guazhou, and the other three states are now panicked, and there are many people who have fled?"

The visitor stared at Li Dewang on the throne, waiting for his answer.

"Imperial sister, originally the little brother wanted to marry you off in a beautiful way, but now it seems that he has more than enough heart and no strength."

"You happen to be here, even if the little brother says goodbye to you, you prepare, go to Luoyang to find His Royal Highness King Yan, we have a marriage contract, and His Royal Highness King Yan will not lose his trust in the world."

Not to mention, Li Dewang can still think of letting the "Princess Yincheng" leave on her own at this juncture, this kindness is really rare.

"How could the king say such a thing? Yincheng is originally a person from Western Xia, born in Western Xia, grew up in Western Xia, and now is the 'Princess of Yincheng' of Western Xia. ”

"Your Majesty, if it is convenient, can you tell me what the situation is like in front of the army now?"

"This ......"

Seeing the repeated insistence of the "Princess Yincheng", Li Dewang, the king of Western Xia, was also a little moved.

"Imperial sister, this is the latest military newspaper, you can take it and take a look-"

Li Dewang handed the military report given to him by Fang Cai Tuoba Hong to the "Princess Yincheng".

"Your Majesty, with all due respect to Yincheng's bluntness, now we can only withdraw all the remaining soldiers and horses from Suzhou and Ganzhou into Xiliangzhou, and then send a general with cronies to defend the city."

"As long as it is strictly guarded, nearly 30,000 Western Xia soldiers can resist the Mongols for at least a few days."

"At the same time, quickly ask for help from the 'Dunwu Army' in Yinzhou and the Wanyan Kang Department in Kangcheng, I believe that they do not want to see the Western Xia wiped out in the hands of the Mongols."

"Even Xiliangzhou didn't hold it, but there are still 40,000 Xixia warriors in Zhongxing Mansion, and the king can always hold out until the two reinforcements arrive."

I have to say that the plan proposed by this "Princess of Yincheng" can definitely be tried, although it may not really work, it is better than sitting here and not doing anything.

"Hey, the imperial sister really didn't let the women shave their eyebrows, no wonder they could get the favor of the Emperor Taishang and Concubine Murong, but even if they could gather 30,000 troops in Xiliangzhou, they couldn't find a general who could be used."

Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find, if the army has no generals, what can the army do?

Li Dewang understands this truth, why doesn't the "Princess of Yincheng" understand?

"Your Majesty, if you can trust Yincheng, Yincheng is willing to replace the king and go to Xiliangzhou to guard it-"

"Princess Yincheng" thought twice, opened a pair of apricot eyes, and said categorically.

"What? Not so! Imperial sister, how can military affairs be child's play? If you have three longs and two shorts, how do you let the little brother face the Emperor and Concubine Murong? How to face His Royal Highness King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Imperial sister, if you have this heart, the little brother will deeply understand your love, your wedding date is approaching, let's clean up and go to Luoyang City."

Li Dewang was really moved, he hadn't had much contact with the "Princess Yincheng" on weekdays, but he didn't expect such a woman to be willing to come forward at this critical moment.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the strategy of the 'Princess Yincheng' is not impossible to try."

Before the "Princess Yincheng" could argue again, Tuoba Hong next to him suddenly spoke.

"In my humble opinion, 'Princess Yincheng' is probably already among the first-class masters, right? She is also my Royal Highness the princess of Great Xia, and she is also the fiancée of Her Royal Highness King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty, and going to Xiliangzhou in such an identity is enough to boost the morale of the soldiers of Great Xia. ”

"Similarly, even if the Mongols really hit the city of Xiliangzhou, knowing that it was the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Yan who was guarding here, do you think they would not be afraid of three points?"

"The humble position can transfer the eight second-rate masters in the 'Yipintang' to the side of the 'Yincheng Princess', even if the West Liangzhou City is invincible, it will be easy to retreat with their skills."

"At the same time, we will step up our efforts to contact Yinzhou and Kangcheng for reinforcements, and maybe the difficulty of destroying Western Xia will really be solved."

The words of "Princess Yincheng", Li Dewang may also think that he is angry for a while, but he can completely listen to what Tuoba Hong said.

"Your Majesty, let Yincheng go, as long as you can hold out in Xiliangzhou for seven more days, presumably the reinforcements from Kangcheng and Yinzhou can arrive at least one place."

Li Dewang looked at Tuoba Hong, and then looked at the "Princess Yincheng" who asked to fight.

"Okay, Yincheng is so gracious, and the little brother has suffered it. According to what Tuoba Hong said, four second-rate masters of 'Yipintang' were sent to guard the Yincheng left and right. ”

"At the same time, you take the little brother's tiger talisman, with this tiger talisman you can mobilize all the soldiers and horses of Western Xia, and then bring 10,000 Western Xia warriors from Zhongxing Mansion over."

"My 'Silver City Princess' in Great Xia is personally recruited, how can I not have a princess guard?"

Okay, this Li Dewang is quite generous, a princess, directly sent a guard of 10,000 people.

Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, and now that the matter has been decided, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Li Desheng personally found a suitable set of close-fitting fine armor from the inner treasury of the palace, let the "Yincheng Princess" wear it on his body, and selected 10,000 of the most loyal and brave Western Xia soldiers to give the "Yincheng Princess" as a guard.

When the "Princess Yincheng" led 10,000 troops and horses out of the west of the city, Li Dewang, who was standing at the head of the city to see him off, was full of emotion.

The scene in front of him was something he had never expected, should he thank his father for giving him such a brave and good sister?

Or should I complain, the irresponsible emperor who fled to Lin'an to retire?

Until he couldn't see the figure of the 10,000 army, Li Dewang still stood on the head of the west city of Zhongxing Mansion for a long time, and his most intimate guard, Tuoba Hong, was also standing on his right side as always.

The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the Chengchen.

When Li Dewang was full of emotion, he didn't notice that Tuoba Hong behind him had a hint of an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
