Chapter 125: Li Qianshun

(Thank you to the Golden Saint Star Emperor for the tip!)

"Tubo?" Li Qianshun looked at Gu Mozhi, and there was a slight mockery in his tone.

Gu Mozhi said: "Princess Yinchuan has promised Prince Zongzan that she is willing to marry him......"

"Hehe!" Li Qianshun interrupted Gu Mozhi's words and said: "Marriage is a major matter, parents are in charge, even if the family of ordinary people is still like this, let alone the royal family, Master Gu Mozhi, don't you know this truth? Have I ever promised you Tubo? Or did the Queen Mother and her old man agree?"

Gu Mozhi's expression was immediately difficult to look at, and he said, "But at that time, I was ...... in front of the battle."

Li Qiushui said: "Before the battle, the situation was critical, and she was worried about my safety, so she just talked nonsense for a while. Could it be that Gu Mozhi thought that such a marriage could be decided just by her few words at that time?"

Although Gu Mozhi is angry, he can still restrain his emotions, but Prince Zongzan can't.

He glared at Li Qiushui and Li Qianshun and said, "Are you Xixia planning to go back on it? Do you know your current situation?"

Li Qiushui said: "Wouldn't we know better than you about the situation of our Western Xia?" Prince Zongzan, I always thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. ”

Li Qianshun also looked contemptuous.

Prince Zongzan looked at Li Qiushui, then at Li Qianshun, and was angry, and finally he turned his head to look at Li Qinglu, and found that Li Qinglu didn't even glance at him.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Your Royal Highness, don't you have anything to say?"

Li Qinglu said: "My affairs are governed by the queen mother and my father, and I can only obey as a junior." ”

"Poof!" Prince Zongzan spurted out a mouthful of old blood, which was completely angry.

Although he is not extremely smart, he is not really stupid, and at this time he doesn't know that he has been completely tricked.

Gu Mozhi coldly glanced at Li Qiushui, Li Qianshun, and Li Qinglu for a while before pulling Prince Zongzan away.

To the point where it has come to this. It didn't work for him to stay.

Duan Yanqing, Murong Bo and Murong Fu were father and son, and the three of them frowned.

The Western Xia Kingdom has reached the end of its rope, and now that even the Tubo State has lost its ally, the future prospects may be even more worrisome. The chances of them relying on the Western Xia Kingdom to succeed are even slimmer.

It's just that seeing the resolute attitude of Li Qiushui and Li Qianshun, they know that even if they persuade each other, it will be useless, so they didn't speak.

"Since you have no intention of Tubo, then you don't know what the Queen Mother and Your Majesty have planned?" Murong Bo asked.

Li Qianshun said: "I am the Emperor of Western Xia. If the Qin State wants to destroy the Western Xia, it must step on the corpse of me. ”

His tone was extremely resolute, and there was no room for negotiation.

Murong Bo frowned, turned his head to look at Li Qiushui and said, "I don't know the Queen Mother, what are your plans?"

Li Qiushui said: "I plan to return to the mountains and forests with Qinglu, and never ask about the world." ”

This time, Murong Bo's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said, "Queen Mother, if you plan to do so, aren't you worried about Tianshan Tong's revenge?"

Li Qiushui was silent.

In fact, this is what Li Qiushui is most worried about, what else is the destruction of the Western Xia Kingdom. It's nothing in her eyes.

In her eyes, the Western Xia Kingdom is just a post station, which can be left and abandoned at any time.

But the difficulty of Tianshan Tong's mother is clear to her, although the world is big, and she can hide in many places, but Tianshan Tong's grandmother is in charge of the Vulture Palace, with 36 caves and 72 islands under its jurisdiction, and its power is huge. It wasn't hard to find her whereabouts.

Tianshan Tong's miraculous achievements have been completed, and Li Qiushui was worried about her before, so he gathered the masters of Xixia Yipintang and besieged the Vulture Palace. I wanted to eradicate this scourge, but unfortunately I was saved by Wu Yazi.

Now that Xixia has failed miserably, she is about to fall, and I am afraid that there are already subordinates of the Vulture Palace around who are peeping, just waiting for her to leave and attack her.

"Murong Bo. If you have any proposals, just say it. Li Qiushui glanced at Murong Bo.

This was no surprise.

The martial arts of the people in the field are the highest in Li Qiushui, but when it comes to conspiracy and trickery, which one can compare to Murong Bo?

Since the Yanmen Pass incident that year, he has been plotting, provoking bloody storms on the rivers and lakes, and creating opportunities for his own recovery, which can really be described as cunning as a fox.

Although the situation is in crisis now, others may be desperate, but Murong Bo will definitely not.

In fact, not only Murong Bo, but also Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing, they originally had nothing left, only one ambition, and they could support it until now, at this moment, compared to before, at least there is such a force together.

There are still a lot of things that can be done by the four peerless masters.

Murong Bo glanced at everyone and said, "It is not easy for the Western Xia Kingdom to defend, and the retreat is certain. In fact, Gu Mozhi proposed just now that retreating to Tubo is also a way out, but since it was vetoed by the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, I won't say more. The only places we can escape in front of us are Song Guo and Dali. ”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Murong Bo continued: "The Song State has been weak for a long time, and the Song State Imperial Court may not accept us, and we were like fire and water with the Central Plains Martial Arts before, so whether it is the imperial court or the rivers and lakes, we cannot be tolerated by the Song State." Therefore, the only place we can really go to is Dali. ”

"But there has been a dispute between me and the Dali royal family for a long time, and when I get there, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live in peace. Duan Yanqing said.

"Hmph!" Murong Bo's expression froze, and he said: "It's just Dali, the citizens of a small country, and there is a shortage of soldiers, are we afraid of it? ”

Duan Yanqing was thrilled when he heard this, this was similar to what they had discussed before the war, and they helped him ascend to the throne of Dali after the war, but at that time, he was thinking about the victory of Western Xia, but now it was the defeat of Western Xia and the danger of extinction.

But whether Western Xia will fall or not is not an important matter for Duan Yanqing, the only thing he cares about is his plan to seize the throne.

Murong Bo said: "Help Brother Duan regain the throne, Brother Duan can use the power of a country to protect the safety of the Queen Mother and the princess, and can also help my father and son recover Dayan." This is good for all three of us. ”

Li Qiushui and Li Qinglu looked at each other, nodded slightly, and finally looked at Li Qianshun.

Li Qianshun said: "You guys go! When the army of Qin goes south, there must be someone to resist." I will stay, and consume the strength of the Qin State a lot, although Dali and the Qin State are separated by the Tubo and Song States, and it is not easy to go south. But there's always something possible. Moreover, if the rest of our troops want to retreat to Dali, the Tubo State will not agree, and the Song Kingdom is our feud, let alone hope for it, so we can only take a small number of masters to go. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. And Li Qiushui and Li Qinglu were even more shocked.

At this time, they vaguely guessed the reason why Li Qianshun had rejected the Tubo State just now.

In order not only to protect Li Qinglu, but also to provoke the Tubo State and block the idea of persuading everyone to retreat from Dali.

Although the Western Xia Kingdom was defeated, there were still nearly 200,000 remainders, and these troops were led by important people, and the Western Xia Kingdom no longer had enough qualified generals to rule them, only Li Qianshun had this ability.

If you choose to reconcile with Tubo just now, the rest of Western Xia can retreat to Tubo, and then withdraw from Tubo to Dali. But just now, the Tubo country was completely offended, and the rest of the Western Xia wanted to borrow the road, so it would be extremely difficult.

"Father......" Li Qinglu shouted, tears in her eyes.

Li Qianshun said: "Child, don't be like this! No one has died in life since ancient times, although I, Li Qianshun, am not a hero, but I am not a king, and the Xixia Kingdom is about to perish, how can I survive alone." ”

"Father, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. As long as you live, there is still hope for the restoration of the Western Xia Kingdom. Li Qinglu said.

"Hehe!" Li Qianshun smiled: "If it was a few years ago, I might have been like this." But I saw that some families sacrificed generation after generation in order to restore the country. As a result, it is still in vain, and I still don't torture myself and my descendants. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at Murong Bo and his son, knowing that Li Qianshun was talking about them.

The expressions of the Murong family and his son remained unchanged, and they also knew the difficulties of their plans, but as the descendants of the Murong family, they inherited the obsession from generation to generation. They all take the restoration of Dayan as their mission, and naturally they will not dispel their thoughts just because of Li Qianshun's words.

Li Qiushui and Li Qinglu were completely extinguished, dissuading Li Qianshun's thoughts, but they inevitably felt sad, especially Li Qinglu, who cried a lot.

By the time she stopped crying, everyone had already gone their separate ways.

Li Qiushui, Duan Yanqing, Murong Bo and Murong Fu selected the best players in the army, although it was not reliable to lead the army through the Song State, or Tubo to Dali, but it was okay to take one or two hundred elites.

And Li Qianshun gathered the defeated army of Western Xia and the soldiers and horses of King Qin who came from all over the country to fight to the death with Cangfei.

......

After resting for three days, the Qin soldiers continued south.

After passing the test all the way, the fighting spirit of the Western Xia Kingdom has been lost, and the disparity in strength is huge, so it is impossible to stop the advance of Great Qin's troops.

In this way, half a month later, the army of Qin arrived at the city of Xingqing, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the spies sent a secret report that the Empress Dowager of the Western Xia Kingdom, Princess Li Qinglu, Duan Yanqing and Murong Father and Son left with some elite people. And the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun led an army of 200,000 and garrisoned the capital to prepare for a decisive battle with us. Chen Guangren said.

Cang Fei smiled: "Hehe! The decisive battle? Just because he is so old, weak, sick and disabled, that's just a joke." I think he hopes to help his old mother and daughter stop the pursuers, so can you find out the route of Li Qiushui and their escape?"

Chen Guangren said: "Their whereabouts are secretive, and they are divided into two routes, all the way to Tubo and all the way to the Song Kingdom, I don't know which way is true." ”

Cang Fei said: "Tubo? Song State? Hey, I'm afraid these are not their choices, if they want to escape, of course, they will flee to a real safe place, these two countries will face the threat of our Great Qin in the future, they are afraid that they just want to go to Dali from Tubo or Song State." ”

"Your Majesty, do you need to send someone to chase after you?" asked Chen Guangren.

Cang Fei said: "Forget it, with their strength, your people can't help them if they catch up, but they are just sent to death in vain." Now that the Western Xia Kingdom has not yet been pacified, let's let them go, anyway, they are just rootless wanderers now, and they can't afford to make any waves. ”

Chen Guangren nodded.

For Cang Fei's words, he didn't think it was inappropriate, Cang Fei didn't support it at all, even the Western Xia Kingdom and the Qin State could be easily destroyed, and the other countries, let alone in the eyes of the Qin State.

The only thing that is a little threatening may be the Song State, but such a weak country, it may not be possible to guarantee the success, and it is even more of a joke to enterprising, and the threat to the Qin State is actually minimal.

"Did you send someone to persuade you to surrender?" Cang Fei asked.

Chen Guangren said: "Yes, but he was killed by Li Qianshun's order." ”

Cang Fei said: "It seems that he is quite strong, let's see if he can hold out to the end and order the army to attack." ”

"Yes!" Chen Guangren replied and left.

......

"Rumble!"

The war drums of the Qin army shook the earth.

"Kill!"

The Qin soldiers attacked from all directions, and there were fierce battles between the Qin soldiers and the Western Xia soldiers in each section of the city wall, and the soldiers continued to die.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, our army will suffer heavy casualties. Chen Guangren looked at the dead soldiers on the battlefield and said a little unbearably.

Cang Fei said: "Then what are you going to do? Stop the attack and give the Western Xia army a chance to breathe?"

Chen Guangren said: "In fact, even if we besiege but not attack, within a few months, in Xingqing City, the food will run out and we will not be able to support it." ”

Cang Fei said: "Months? Do you have to wait so long? And that's just your guess, what if Li Qianshun is really crazy to defend it? A gentleman guards the country, if he is determined to resist, there is no food, and even Yi Zi can eat things, and guarding such a strong city, I'm afraid it won't be a problem for a year or two." ”

Chen Guangren said: "But now, we are also ......"

Cang Fei said: "The sooner the war ends, the sooner we control Western Xia, not only can we reduce the loss of continuing the war, but also avoid the prying eyes of Tubo and Song." Don't look at these two countries during this time, they look honest, that's because our Great Qin has won consecutive battles, and they don't dare to make a mistake. If we are frustrated under the city of Xingqing, will they be willing and will not send troops to make it difficult for us?"

"You also read the books of the sages, and now you are the commander, you should understand it very well. War is never simply a war, but also involves politics, we must not show the slightest decline, we must destroy the Western Xia in one go, so as not to give Tubo and the Song State a chance to make a move. ”

Chen Guangren sighed lightly: "Your Majesty, the last general understands. ”

"Then go ahead. Cang Fei said.

......

The Qin soldiers attacked frantically for more than a month, and the Western Xia army finally couldn't resist it and was breached by the city.

When Cang Fei entered Xingqing City, the Xixia Palace was already in flames, and it turned out that Li Qianshun died in the palace at the moment when the city was broken.

And he also ordered the defenders of the city to set fire to the city.

When the sea of fire was extinguished, all that was left for Cangfei was the scarred Xingqing City. (To be continued.) )
