When he heard Li Tongren's words, the boss was unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't help hating Li Tongren, but he didn't say anything. This coup d'état can be said to have been single-handedly facilitated by Daochong, so although Li Tongren scolded Li Ruolan, he thought that he was scolding Huai by pointing out that Sang was also scolding himself, so he hated Li Tongren. Li Ruolan was furious when she saw that Li Tongren dared to point at her nose and scold herself, and she was so angry that she just wanted to kill this guy, so she shouted: "Someone! ”

When even a few guards rushed into the main hall, they bowed down together and said, "What do you command?" Li Shicheng preemptively said: "Niangniang, the enemy is current, it is really ominous to kill the minister!" ”

Li Ruolan calmed down a little, considering Li Tongren's influence in the officialdom and the people, she was worried that if she really killed him, she was afraid that it would cause unpredictable turmoil, so she forcibly suppressed her anger and said to a few guards: "It's none of your business, all retreat!" Several guards muttered in their hearts, bowed to Li Ruolan, and retreated.

Li Ruolan said in a cold tone: "If there is no way to resist Yan Yunjun, then quickly retreat to the west!" If you have no choice and are unwilling to leave, wouldn't you sit back and wait for your own death? Li Tongren frowned, although he didn't want to admit it, he felt that what Li Ruolan said made sense.

At this moment, a herald rushed in in a hurry, didn't care about saluting, and said urgently: "Oh no, Yang Yanzhao's troops forcibly crossed the Yellow River and broke through Shunzhou, and now Jingzhou has been surrounded!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Li Ruolan said in fear: "Shunzhou is lost, I'm afraid that Jingzhou won't last long, and we don't have much time!" He glanced at the two prime ministers and said, "I have decided, immediately abandon Xingqing Mansion and retreat west!" "The tone and demeanor are completely non-negotiable, and I have already decided that what you say is useless. Li Shicheng immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, hurry up and retreat west, I'm afraid it will be too late!" He said: "What Niangniang said is very true, but Xingqing Mansion is the imperial capital of our Great Xia after all, and it cannot be abandoned!" Li Ruolan frowned.

Daochong glanced at Li Tongren and said to Li Ruolan: "Prime Minister Zuo is both wise and brave, and he is the best candidate to stay in Xingqing Mansion, and the old minister suggested that Prime Minister Zuo should stay to guard Xingqing Mansion!" Li Tongren's face turned pale, and he looked at Dao Chong, his eyes showing incomprehension and chagrin. Li Ruolan was overjoyed, it can be said that Daochong's suggestion was in the middle of the favor, and even said to Li Tongren: "Prime Minister Zuo, only you can take on this important task in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, so don't shirk!" Li Tongren couldn't refuse, so he could only agree, but his heart had sunk to the bottom, extremely desolate.

Li Ruolan no longer paid attention to Li Tongren, and hurriedly said to the mediator: "Right Prime Minister, the treasury reserves must be transported away, but it can't be cheap Yan Yun, and all other matters are at your discretion, you don't have to ask me!" He bowed down and promised. Li Ruolan said to her father Li Shicheng again: "Father, you pack up our belongings and wait for me to set off together." Li Shicheng promised and left in a hurry, thinking that he must be in a hurry to go back and clean up the family wealth, this guy has taken advantage of his daughter's favor in recent years, and he has made no less benefits, and everything else can be left behind, but he can't say anything about those gold and silver treasures.

Li Tongren asked urgently: "Niangniang, Prime Minister, how many soldiers and horses do you leave for me to guard Xingqing Mansion?" Dao Chong looked at Li Ruolan, Li Ruolan said: "Prime Minister Zuo is both wise and brave, he is a pillar of the country, and he must not need many soldiers and horses to guard, but in view of the importance of Xingqing Mansion, this palace will definitely leave enough soldiers and horses for Prime Minister Zuo!" When Dao Chong heard this, he couldn't help frowning, at this moment, when everyone was running for their lives, he just wanted to keep the army by his side, who wanted to share it with others; Zuo Prime Minister Li Tongren listened to Li Ruolan's words, but he was very happy, and couldn't help but feel that if there were enough soldiers and horses, there might be room for maneuver.

I only heard Li Ruolan continue: "I left all the city defense troops of Xingqing Mansion for Prime Minister Zuo, as well as 20,000 people's troops!" He couldn't help laughing, but Li Tongren was shocked and said hurriedly: "What is the use of such a little soldier and horse?" "There are not many soldiers and horses in the city of Xingqing Mansion, only more than 10,000 people, plus 20,000 people, but more than 30,000 people, this point of soldiers and horses has to face the army of 2560,000 Yanyun tigers and wolves, which is clearly a sheep into the tiger's mouth and an egg to hit a stone!

Li Ruolan said angrily: "Other soldiers and horses want to escort the court and Your Majesty, and there are enough soldiers and horses for you!" Li Tongren smiled bitterly: "Since Niangniang said so, what else does the minister have to say!" Li Ruolan said coldly: "Since you don't have any problems, let's go down and do what you have to do!" Li Tongren was angry, and he didn't salute, so he left. Li Ruolan saw that he dared to be so rude, and she was angry in her heart. However, thinking that he would be crushed under the onslaught of Yan Yunjun soon, the feeling of schadenfreude couldn't help but come to his heart.

He bowed and said, "Niangniang, the old minister has also retired!" Li Ruolan turned around and advised: "The situation is urgent, the prime minister must hurry up and strive to leave before the early morning of tomorrow!" He said: "Don't worry, the old minister will definitely do it!" Then he strode away.

Li Ruolan was stunned for a while, and quickly turned around and went to the harem. Soon after, the palace was in a hurry, and the palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly packed up all kinds of treasures, and many took the opportunity to put the treasures into their own pockets; The loud sound of ping-pong came and went, and the palace maids and eunuchs broke many precious porcelain in a panic, and there were scenes of chickens flying and dogs jumping everywhere.

And in the city, there was also chaos, Yanyun's army was coming, the news that the imperial court was preparing to flee west had spread in the city, nobles and commoners, big celebrities, panicked like ants on a hot pot, they packed up their furniture and fled outside the city, and they were also ready to flee to the west; However, the four gates of the city were tightly closed, and the crowds of people at the gates of the city were allowed to shout and shout to the sky, and the soldiers guarding the gates did not open the gates.

More and more people gathered under the city gates, and the emotions became more and more excited, and it seemed that chaos was about to appear. The city defense general hurriedly rushed up to the city gate tower, ran into the command post on the city gate tower, and saw Li Tongren, the prime minister of Zuo, who was drinking heavily, and said urgently: "Prime minister, the people are very excited, if you don't open the door again, you are afraid, you are only afraid of ......."

Li Tongren drank all the wine in the cup, slammed the wine glass on the desk, glanced at the city defense general, and said angrily: "This prime minister wants to live and die with the city, what is the other people, they still want to run for their lives?" The city defense general said: "But if you don't open the city gate, it will inevitably cause turmoil.

Li Tongren poured a glass of wine, picked up the glass, raised his head and drank it all, and said fiercely: "Whoever dares to storm the city gate is a rebel, and the rebel will be killed!" Glaring at the city defense general, he reprimanded angrily: "Don't you know such a simple thing? The city defense general swallowed, "But, but those are our own people!" Li Tongren smiled strangely: "The Yanyun army is here, and everyone can't live!" Anyway, if you can't live, isn't it the same at whose hands you died? He glared at the general of the city defense and shouted: "Do as I say!" The city defense general hurriedly agreed and ran down.

Li Tongren poured himself a drink again, and sang loudly Li Bai's famous sentences that have been passed down through the ages: "The white hair is three thousand zhang, and the fate is like a long one, I don't know where to get the autumn frost in the mirror!" Draw your sword and level the four seas, but you can fight for thousands of people! How can you break your eyebrows and bend your waist to the powerful, so that I can't be happy! ”

The city defense general, who had just run down, hurried back again, bowed down and said, "Prime Minister, Your Majesty and Niangniang's car has arrived under the city gate, and you want us to open the city gate!" Li Tongren paused in mid-air, and couldn't help but feel an impulse in his heart: 'Damn, since you want to kill Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will fight with you, since Lao Tzu can't live, everyone can't even think about living!' However, after all, these ideas only stayed in my heart, and I did not dare to really put them into practice. sighed, put down the wine glass, and said to the city defense general: "Since it is Niangniang and Your Majesty, then open the city gate!" The general of the city defense answered and ran down.

Immediately, Li Tongren heard earth-shattering cheers from inside the city, and then a tidal wave came from under his feet. Li Tongren stood up, walked out of the command post, and looked out of the city. I saw countless soldiers and horses flying all over the sky, surrounded by large and small jade chariots and golden chariots rolling towards the west, hurried and panicked. Li Tongren couldn't help muttering: "Let's go, let's go!" If you flee to the west, you won't be able to be happy! ”

Half an hour later, more than 100,000 troops escorting the royal family and the imperial court had all left the west gate of Xingqing Mansion, and then the people rushed out. Li Tongren stared blankly at the scene outside the city. The city defense general ran to Li Tongren's side, bowed down and asked, "Prime Minister, Your Majesty and they are all gone, do you want to close the city gate!" Li Tongren came back to his senses, glanced at the scene of rushing for his life outside the city, slowly shook his head, and said: "Forget it, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, let them run!" "Yes!"

Li Ruolan and others ran wildly to the west overnight, when the sun rose from the east, more than 100,000 people and horses arrived at Helan Mountain East Road, the towering Helan Mountain is like a huge screen in front of everyone, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the green mountains below are oily, it is really a wonderful scenery picture, but at this moment no one is in the mood to watch these hundreds of thousands of people.

Li Ruolan and the others felt very tired, Li Ruolan lifted the curtain and said to the right prime minister who was riding a horse and accompanying him: "Prime minister, rest here!" Dao Chong looked at the team in front and behind, and saw that everyone was already very tired with a large number of salutes, and thought that Yan Yunjun must be marching towards Xingqing Mansion at this moment, and it was impossible to send troops to intercept it, so he saluted Li Ruolan and said: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

Immediately the herald passed down the order, and the herald immediately passed the order, and the huge team slowly stopped, and then everyone sat down to rest in a pile of east and west, and the smoke rose in the wilderness, and the originally silent wilderness became a hustle and bustle.

Li Ruolan sat and talked with her father Li Shicheng and several brothers, and went to inspect the road. Li Shicheng said worriedly: "I don't know if Yan Yunjun will stop after fleeing to the west!" The eldest son, Li Chenglong, said urgently: "Father don't worry, when we escape to Xiliang Mansion, separated by the Great Desert and Helan Mountain, Yan Yunjun will definitely not want to embarrass us again!" At that time, we will send someone to ask King Yan for peace, and we will definitely be able to conclude a peace treaty, and we will form an alliance forever!" Li Ruolan and Li Shicheng's youngest son, Li Chenghu, nodded thoughtfully, Li Ruolan said: "The eldest brother is right, when we arrive in Xiliang Mansion, separated by the Great Desert and Helan Mountain, Yan Yunjun will definitely not be willing to go through all the trouble to cross Helan Mountain and cross the Great Desert to attack us, and it is really worth the loss to spend such a huge price for our remnants!" ”

Li Shicheng felt that what his daughter and eldest son said made sense, so he put his mind at ease and couldn't help but hope to arrive in Xiliang Mansion as soon as possible to settle down.

Several palace maids hurriedly stepped up and offered food. When Li Ruolan saw it, she saw that it was a large piece of black meat and thin rice, and she couldn't help but be annoyed, and shouted: "Is this also what this palace eats?" Several palace maids were heartbroken, and the palace maid led by them trembled and said: "In the wilderness, I really can't find the ingredients, and the pot stove is also very simple, please Your Majesty Haihan!" Li Chenglong stood up, walked to the palace maid headed by him, kicked her over, and the palace maid fell to the ground, and the rice barbecue in her hand fell to the ground. Li Chenglong shouted: "Go and reorganize!" If you offer any more food that no beast eats, watch out for your dogs' heads! Several palace maids were resigned and hurriedly retreated.

Li Chenglong returned to Li Ruolan and sat down, and said angrily: "What stupid minions! Offering this kind of food that even animals don't eat! Li Ruolan snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "How else would you be a slave!" ”

Several people continued to chat, and the content of the conversation turned out to be how to build the palace after arriving in Xiliang Mansion. A few quarters of an hour later, several people were so hungry that their stomachs growled, and they couldn't help but be very annoyed when they saw that the surrounding soldiers and eunuchs were feasting, and that they were still hungry as their masters. Li Chenglong raised his voice angrily: "Why haven't you done it yet, what are you doing slowly?" ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" The palace maid's anxious voice came, and then I saw several palace maids each holding a big food plate up, the food plate was steaming and fragrant, and there were a few kinds of attractive dishes, meat and vegetarian matching, which made people appetize. It's really hard for these palace maids to be able to concoct so many exquisite dishes in this wilderness.

Several palace maids put the dishes in front of Li Ruolan and the others, and then stood tremblingly, for fear that Li Ruolan would be angry again, and she would be in bad luck. Li Ruolan looked at the dozen or so dishes in front of her, and was still not very satisfied, but she was really hungry, so she couldn't care about it so much, so she picked up chopsticks and ate it. When the palace maids saw Li Ruolan eating, they didn't say anything more, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Boom Boom Boom ...... There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky. Li Chenglong, who was gobbling up, turned his head to look while eating. I couldn't help but wonder if I didn't see dark clouds in the sky. But now his mind is all about food, so he doesn't go to his heart, turns around, and continues to gobble up. The palace maids standing beside them, none of them have eaten, looking at the family that devoured and feasted, they were so hungry that they drooled, but they didn't dare to leave without permission to find food, if the mother wanted someone to serve and didn't see anyone, blame it, I was afraid that this little life would not be guaranteed.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The thunder was louder, and it seemed much closer than it had been before. Li Ruolan looked up at the sky and saw that there were only a few 'white birds' floating in the clear sky, and couldn't help but be puzzled: "Strange, there are no dark clouds in the sky, where did this rolling thunder come from?" As he spoke, the rolling thunder came closer, as if behind the hills to the northeast. Everyone looked there, and Li Chenghu said, "Maybe it's a herd of wild horses!" "Wild horses can often be seen here in Western Xia, and wild horses gallop like thunder, so Li Chenghu's statement has been recognized by everyone.

At this moment, it suddenly became dark on the hills, and then I saw a black wave rushing across the hills, where was the wild horse herd, it was clearly thousands of war horses! When everyone suddenly saw such a scene, their brains couldn't turn for a while, and they were stunned on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the sudden cavalry group crashed into the peripheral Tangut people, the iron hooves galloped and trampled, the cold light of the swords and guns flew, and in an instant, countless Tangut people fell to the ground, and the Xixia people who reacted screamed and ran upside down, like dominoes, passing ten or ten hundreds, and in the blink of an eye, it rolled down like a tide! Li Ruolan and the others had already stood up, their eyes wide, their faces full of horror and disbelief. Li Ruolan couldn't help but exclaim: "This, what's going on?" "It's damn it, I don't even know what's going on at this moment.

The Xixia people were in chaos, the scene was as if a pot had been fried, everyone was holding their heads and running around, everyone was howling and running; Li Dingkun, the general of the Iron Harrier, wanted to lead the Iron Harrier to intercept, but he couldn't do it for a while, first, the scene was already a mess, more than 100,000 people were running wildly, and the Iron Harrier Army couldn't rush to kill at all, and secondly, the Iron Harrier heavy armored cavalry had already unarmored and were eating and drinking, and at this time they hurriedly put on their armor, a panicked scene, at this time they could rush to kill, and they couldn't do it at all, but it was a pity that these elite divisions of Western Xia could not play their due role in the hands of their incompetent masters. In the blink of an eye, a Yanyun war horse swept away the chaotic crowd and rushed into the middle of the Iron Harrier Army, the Iron Harrier Army was still hurriedly putting on the armor, and their war horses were even more slippery, the vests were naturally not put on, and the saddle was even more missing.

Yan Yun's army swept away, like a wolf and a tiger, the iron hooves trampled the iron harrier army to the ground, the horizontal knife and horse lance raised the blood and water in the sky, the roar and screams rang out, and the elite iron harriers actually fell under Yan Yun's iron cavalry blade one by one like slaughtered animals! However, these iron harriers are really brave, they don't run away in such a situation, and fight back desperately, but where are they the opponents of Yanyun War Cavalry in this situation, desperately fighting back is in vain, and they fall in a pool of blood one by one!

Nearly 200,000 Xixia people were destroyed by 30,000 Yanyun war cavalry and rushed to a scattered and crushed army, corpses were all over the field, and the blood dyed the original green grass into a shocking blood red, and those who did not die fled for their lives in the wilderness and woods, only hating their father and mother for missing two legs. ……

The battle was over, Yang Peng immediately looked at a tragic battlefield on Gaogangzi, nearly 200,000 Xixia people rode horses, 40,000 or 50,000 fell on this wasteland, thousands of captives passed by Yang Peng under the escort of Yan Yunjun, everyone was nervous, and everyone was happy; For Yang Peng, this victory came too easily, but also too unexpected, he received news not long ago, learned that the Western Xia court fled west overnight, so Yelu Hanyu led the main force to march into Xingqing Mansion, and he himself commanded 30,000 war cavalry to pursue the Tangut people, originally only intended to hit them hard, but did not expect that after the battle, the Tangut people were defenseless, and their own war horses swept away the enemy army!

The sound of horses' hooves in front of him came, and Yang Peng followed the prestige, only to see Shi Ping leading more than a dozen sergeants to gallop on horseback. Coming to the front, Shi Ping reined in the horse, Shi Ping excitedly hugged his fists and said: "General, we have captured the queen mother, the prince, the uncle, the princes, the princesses, and the emperor of Western Xia!" ”

Yang Peng smiled slightly, "Okay, this is really a catch!" What about the Kingdom of Zhanjin? ”

"Brother Zhan led the Xuanjia Army to pursue the remnants of the enemy army! By the way, big brother, we have seized countless gold and silver treasures, which should be the reserves of the Western Xia royal family! Yang Peng was very happy and ordered: "Send someone to carefully collect the statistics!" Shi Ping clenched his fists in agreement, turned his horse's head, and led his sergeants down the hill.

A moment later, Yang Peng saw a large team approaching, including many carriages and eunuchs and palace maids. Yang Peng knew that the team must be a captured member of the Western Xia royal family! I saw an officer riding a horse and running up the hill, came to the front, reined in the horse, hugged his fists and said: "King Qiyu, the royal family members of Western Xia have arrived!" As he spoke, the procession at the foot of the mountain had come to the foot of the mountain and stopped.

Yang Peng rode down the hill, and everyone followed. Everyone in Western Xia looked at Yang Peng with an extremely uneasy expression. The Yan Yun officer who came to report to Yang Peng just now shouted at the people of Western Xia: "This is His Royal Highness King Yan, all kneel!" The Xixia people were taken aback, they didn't expect to see the legendary King Yan here, they were shocked, they knelt down one after another, and the voices of crying and begging for mercy came and went, and the scene was noisy.

Yang Peng frowned, his gaze fell on one of the most delicate chariots, and asked the officer, "The one sitting in that carriage is the emperor of Western Xia, right?" The officer glanced at Yang Peng's finger and replied, "The Empress Dowager of Western Xia is sitting in that carriage, and the Emperor of Western Xia is sitting in the carriage behind!" Yang Peng nodded, "Go ahead!" The officer clenched his fists and shouted at his soldiers: "Keep going!" Immediately, Yan Yunjun dragged the Western Xia people who were kneeling on the ground and crying, and drove them to the northeast. The Tangut people wept and wept, their expressions full of panic and hesitation.

Li Ruolan opened the corner of the curtain, looked outside, and happened to see a majestic young man not far away, and couldn't help but feel a wave in her heart, and immediately guessed that he was the legendary Yan King. Seeing Yang Peng's gaze, he smiled, which was very charming. Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed mockingly.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
