Chapter 77: Whose Head Is Beheaded?
Sun Xu originally thought that he would let Brother Richard go first, and then execute him in the future if he had the slightest disrespect for the Great Song Dynasty. It can be seen that he is willing to dedicate the most fertile land in Western Xia to the Great Song Dynasty, leaving only some wild lands to be kings, such a sensible puppet, I am afraid that he is more loyal to the Song State than the Song people, so there is no need to worry about it.
After that, with the help of Richard Brother, the Song army quickly stabilized the situation in Xiping Province. In addition, Qiao Feng's army defeated the reinforcements from all roads, and Western Xia could not gather heavy troops in a short period of time, and the capture of the national capital Huaiqing was just around the corner.
After a short rest, Sun Xu allocated some soldiers to guard Xiping Mansion, and he took Brother Richard and his subordinates as the lead, and went straight to Huaiqing.
Some of the state capitals passed along the way, and some of them wanted to resist.
But when Brother Richard stepped forward, stood under the city and shouted, "Even Gu has surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that you are waiting, hurry up and sacrifice the city!" After those state officials who wanted to resist saw that the King of Jin had surrendered, and after hesitating for a while, they all opened the city and surrendered. Therefore, Sun Xu and the others did not waste a single soldier, and they arrived near Huaiqing Mansion.
After Li Qiushui was defeated and fled back to the national capital, he knew that Sun Xu would not stop there, so he and Li Qianshun gathered the ministers together to discuss.
However, the elite soldiers and horses of Western Xia were all defeated, and the Song army was too strong, and even the king of Jin surrendered, and this situation was no longer irreparable in a war. Even if they want to fight hard, Western Xia will not be able to gather a large army in a short time.
So, someone played and wanted to ask the lord of the country to also beg for peace, and still proclaimed himself a minister to the Great Song Dynasty. After all, the name of the Song army's dispatch this time was the Western Xia's back to Song Shiliao. Some people also said that they sent an envoy to Da Liao for help and asked Da Liao to send troops to rescue Western Xia.
Li Qianshun couldn't make up his mind, so he simply took a two-pronged approach, and sent envoys on both sides.
However, it didn't take long for news to come that the envoy sent to the Song camp had been killed by Richard in the middle of the road.
Li Qianshun really gritted his teeth with hatred, he couldn't imagine that this younger brother was even more ruthless than the enemy, and he was bent on forcing himself to a dead end!
The envoys from Da Liao also sent back news that Da Liao had no intention of sending troops because of the unstable situation in his own country.
Both sides worked in vain, and they delayed all this time in vain, seeing that Sun Xu's army had already arrived in the city, Li Qianshun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Just when the ministers didn't know what to do, Concubine Li Qiushui suddenly offered a beheading strategy:
Although Li Qiushui was defeated by Meilan Zhuju at the Ethereal Peak, he did not fight Sun Xu at that time. She saw that Sun Xu was gentle and elegant, and she was angry, and felt that he was just a formation master, even if he had some martial arts, he could still beat her?
Therefore, it was planned to use the remaining forces in the national capital to attack the Song army at night to attract the attention of most of the Song army. On her side, she personally led the elite masters of Yipintang to sneak into the Song camp and assassinate Sun Xu while taking advantage of the chaos. If Sun Xu dies, the Song army will be leaderless, and it will definitely collapse without a fight!
By nighttime, everything went according to plan.
I saw that countless military horses suddenly appeared from the Huaiqing Mansion, which had been silent for a long time, which caught the Song army a little off guard and hurriedly met the battle.
Li Qiushui saw that Xia Jun was entangled with Song Jun, so he took the four villains of Yipintang and quietly went in the direction of Song Jun's tent.
When he arrived at the tent, he saw that the lights in the tent were bright, and there was no one except Sun Xu.
Sun Xu sat quietly in the tent, holding an ancient book in his hand, and he didn't look at Li Qiushui and his gang, and said indifferently: "Concubine, don't come to harm." ”
"Marshal Sun, it's been a long time since I was gone, and today the concubine came to pay a visit!" Li Qiushui caressed the tent door, looking at Sun Xu as if he was looking at the prey in a cage, and the words that came out of his mouth were tactful and gentle.
"Hehe, what Sun said on the Ethereal Peak that day, it seems that the concubine has forgotten. That's why Sun personally mentioned the army and fulfilled what he said that day. From beginning to end, Sun Xu's eyes did not take off the book in his hand, just flicking the handsome case with the fingers of his right hand.
Li Qiushui saw that he had actually reached this level, and he was so fearless, and sneered: "Sun Xu! Why don't you obediently lead the neck to be killed?"
After finishing speaking, he stopped talking nonsense, and ordered several people to drink together. After all, the Xia army is only for containment, and after a long time, there will definitely be Song generals who will return to help the Chinese army.
Sun Xu's body didn't move, he just raised his head, looked at Duan Yanqing, the head of the four evils who had lifted the steel rod, and said: "Outside Tianlong Temple, under the Bodhi tree, the son is sloppy, and Guanyin has long hair!"
When Duan Yanqing heard the words "outside Tianlong Temple", he was stunned, and the steel rod was frozen in mid-air. After listening to these four sentences, I saw that his steel rod was trembling uncontrollably and slowly retracted. He asked in ventriloquism, "How do you know this?"
Sun Xu smiled indifferently and said, "If you kill the South China Sea Crocodile God, I will tell you what happened!" After speaking, he said to Ye Erniang: "I know a child who has nine ring scars burned on his back and buttocks. If you want to know his whereabouts, kill the crane in the clouds with me!"
When Ye Erniang heard this, she was also stunned, like seeing a ghost. After a few breaths, he asked in a trembling voice, "Do you know the whereabouts of that child?"
Because of Sun Xu's two sentences, Duan Yanqing and Ye Erniang were both fixed on the spot, which caused the South China Sea Crocodile God and the crane in the clouds to not be able to come forward. Seeing this, Li Qiushui thought that Sun Xu was deliberately delaying time, so he scolded the four of them: "Trick yourself up! Why don't you four go and kill him for me?"
The South China Sea Crocodile God and the Crane in the Clouds did not hesitate, and they didn't care about the other two, they raised their weapons and hit Sun Xu.
Before the weapon reached Sun Xu's approach, suddenly, the South China Sea Crocodile God felt a sharp pain in his back and chest, and a steel rod had protruded from his chest. He was stunned for a moment, turned his head with difficulty, and looked at Duan Yanqing behind him, his eyes were full of doubts, and he didn't understand why Boss Duan suddenly killed him.
Seeing this, although he didn't know why the boss was violent and murderous, he remembered what Sun Xu said, and when he hurriedly withdrew to guard against Ye Erniang, he was pierced through his chest by a lancet, and then his eyes fell to the ground with round eyes and fell to the ground.
Li Qiushui was stunned by this sudden change.
She thought about a thousand possible failures, thought about the five of them being besieged by the army and died of exhaustion, and even thought that she was blinded and killed here by Sun Xu, but she didn't expect that Sun Xu would let the four villains kill each other on the spot with only two sentences.
At this time, Sun Xu spoke: "Duan Yanqing, your Guanyin Niangniang is Duan Zhengchun's genuine princess - Dao Baifeng. As he spoke, he smiled at Duan Yanqing and said, "And, congratulations, Duan Yu is your biological son." ”
When Duan Yanqing heard this, he was shocked. He has been wandering all his life in order to one day regain his own Dali throne. But if his son becomes the future lord of Dali, what are you fighting for?
Sun Xu saw that there was a bit of disbelief in his eyes when he looked at him, so he said: "If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate, and see what I do!" and said to Ye Erniang: "Your son is in Shaolin Temple at this time, and his law name is Xuzhu." Don't ask me, just see for yourself. ”
When Ye Erniang heard this, she glanced at Duan Yanqing, and said in unison: "Your Excellency had better ensure that the news given to me is true, otherwise, we will definitely come to settle accounts with Your Excellency!" After speaking, she immediately flashed her figure and went into the distance.
Li Qiushui only reacted at this time, looked in the direction where they disappeared outside the tent, slowly turned his head and said: "I didn't expect that you know so many secrets, Xixia was defeated in your hands, not wronged!"
Sun Xu chuckled, put down the book, and asked, "Concubine, do you still want to fight?"
When Li Qiushui heard this, he looked at the ground and was silent, and after thinking for a while, he fell to the ground: "Xixia is willing to surrender, and I hope that the marshal will have mercy on the people of a country!"
Sun Xu saw that she was lying on the ground for a long time, so he got up and went over and stretched out his hand to help her.
With a "bang", Li Qiushui suddenly stretched out his hands and hit Sun Xu's lower abdomen together.
She has decades of self-conceited skills, and this blow has condensed the strength of her whole body, even if it hits Wuyazi, she has to be half-dead.
However, she hit it, but she was directly shocked by a huge force and flew out a few feet away, and landed heavily outside the military tent.
She naturally knew that this was her palm power that was rebounded by Sun Xu, and she felt dizzy and dizzy, and her whole body was in pain, as if the bones in her whole body were broken, and the pain made her convulsive and struggle on the ground.
The huge movement in the Chinese army's tent also attracted the attention of the Song army, so several groups of generals rushed over to protect Sun Xu.
When they came to the tent, they found that Li Qiushui had twisted limbs and died there, and the silk had fallen beside him. When I walked in, I saw that there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes, and I didn't know if it was because of pain or remorse.
