1236. Zhongxing Mansion’s chaos

Originally, he only thought that when he came to Chengdu Prefecture with the intention of surrender, he would definitely be welcomed by the generals of the Song State.

After all, this is also a great thing for the State of Song.

With the four major families of them surrendering, the State of Song could even take over the entire Western Xia without spending much military force.

But the fact is that the Song Dynasty generals did not show any enthusiasm after knowing their purpose. They did not even convey the sentence.

This undoubtedly forced him to consider whether the Song Dynasty generals were interested in accepting their surrender.

Although this matter may not be the leader of the Song army in this city, the attitude of the leader can largely represent the attitude of the Song court.

With a heavy expression, the messenger of the Sikong family slowly walked back to the other people.

The Tuoba family envoy asked hurriedly: "How?"

The Tuoba family was appointed as the pioneer by the empress. He was afraid that he would be more anxious than the Wu family, the Sikong family and the She Tuo family's envoys.

The Sikong family envoy slowly told his experience at the city gate with a calm face.

"There hasn't been any words from Song Jiang in the city?"

After hearing him say this, the Tuoba family's messenger suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face.

He also found this a bit incredible.

Putting himself in his shoes, if he was the chief general of the Song army, he would definitely be willing to accept the surrender of the four major families.

But now that things have come to this point, they have no choice but to turn back to Longzhou City with deep doubts.

In short, if the Song Dynasty was willing to accept their surrender, it would always send envoys to contact them.

At this time, in the yamen of Chengdu Prefecture, Deputy Commander Zhang Guangbao and others were actually surprised.

The people from the four major military departments suddenly came to express their surrender, which was also beyond their expectations.

This situation was not included in the emperor's explanation.

This is also the reason why Zhang Guangbao did not dare to respond immediately to this matter.

Not long after reading the letter, he compiled a book and passed the matter to Changsha City.

The four major military departments wanted to surrender, whether to accept it or not. Marshal Liu Zhuwen was not here, so he did not dare to make arbitrary claims, so he naturally wanted to ask Zhao Dongting to decide.

A few more days passed in a blink of an eye.

The envoys of the four major families returned to the military camp together.

They will tell She Tuoba, Tuoba Wu and others about their experience in Chengdu Prefecture.

She Tuoba and others were also surprised.

Then I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The Empress ordered them to attack Chengdu Prefecture, and they had no time to delay any further. The army continued to travel to Chengdu Prefecture and would eventually go outside Chengdu Prefecture. If the Song Dynasty still responded to this matter, they would face a dilemma. If they fought, the surrender would be scattered and there would be no hope. If they did not fight, it would violate the imperial edict of the Empress, and the Empress also attacked them in the name of the name.

At this time, they were actually only five days away from Chengdu Prefecture.

After careful discussion, the few people still did not understand the intention of the Song army commander in Chengdu Prefecture.

Afterwards, he was eager to go out and had to send these envoys to Chengdu Prefecture.

This undoubtedly made the Song Dynasty see that they were eager to surrender, but there was nothing they could do about it.

They surrendered was a helpless move. Even if they were constrained by the Song Dynasty, there was no other way.

Changsha City.

Zhao Dongting also received a letter sent back from Zhang Guangbao.

He was equally surprised.

Because even he had never thought that the four major families would choose to surrender before.

After reading the letter, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and whispered: "This is getting more and more interesting..."

Then he pondered deeply.

What he and Li Xiushu wanted was that Xixia surrendered to the Song Dynasty, but Xixia was still under the jurisdiction of Li Xiushu.

Such a big situation was only to prevent the old ministers such as Zhongsun Qifu, who worked hard for the restoration of the Western Xia Dynasty, from becoming dissatisfied with Li Xiushu.

This matter was not complicated at first. As long as the Song Dynasty soldiers were aimed at, it would be difficult for the Western Xia to not surrender.

It was just because Li Xiushu had to take this opportunity to attack the four major families at the same time that the situation became a little complicated.

She wanted to use the power of the Song Dynasty to completely remove the cancer of Xixia.

This is probably also a "revenge" for Zhao Dongting "snatched" Li Zuoxiao from her.

Zhao Dongting is also willing to do so.

Now, the four major families intend to surrender, which undoubtedly brought new trends to the original established situation.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but think, wouldn't it be even easier if he accepted the surrender of the four major families and wanted Heliancheng, Zhongsun Qifu and others to choose to bow to the Song Dynasty?

I just don’t know if this would annoy a woman like Li Xiushu.

What was distressed was that he had no time to communicate with Li Xiushu now.

After all, even if Fei Ge sends a message, it will take a few days to go back and forth from Changsha to Zhongxing Mansion.

By then, the troops of the four major military departments must have arrived outside Chengdu Prefecture. It is probably too late to accept their surrender.

It was only after a long time that Zhao Dongting made up his mind to write a letter, and asked Yi Shiyu to pass it to Chengdu Prefecture.

He still chose to accept the surrender of the four major families.

As mentioned before, the four military departments were thorns in Li Xiushu's heart and thorns in his flesh, but they were really nothing in Zhao Dongting's heart.

Just waiting for the Western Xia to bow to the Song Dynasty, although he had promised Li Xiushu and still allowed the Western Xia to remain autonomous, in name, Xixia was ultimately a vassal state of the Song Dynasty.

He only needs to recognize Li Xiushu's dominance in Xixia. If the four major families want to think about Li Xiushu, they have to think hard about whether they can withstand the anger of the Song Dynasty.

This is a good thing.

With Li Xiushu's mind, Zhao Dongting felt that she should be able to figure these things out.

Then you shouldn't blame yourself for this.

The summer is hot.

The ground was filled with heat.

A few days ago, the atmosphere inside and outside Chengdu was already tense.

Now, the army and horses of the four major military departments have finally arrived outside Chengdu Prefecture, and set up a large camp just over ten miles away from Chengdu Prefecture.

As the vanguard army, the soldiers of the Heishan Weifu Army are less than five miles away from Chengdu Prefecture.

There were scouts looking back and forth.

Except for the soldiers of the garrison troops in Chengdu, the soldiers of the imperial guards still strictly inspected the city gates, all the imperial guards also appeared on the top of the city.

The atmosphere was quite tense.

But of course this is all made of falsehood.

Zhao Dongting's letter was passed to Chengdu Prefecture two days ago.

After Zhang Guangbao once again turned away the envoys from the four major military departments, he finally sent envoys to the camps of the four major military departments.

This undoubtedly made She Tuoli and others overjoyed.

After the envoys of the Song Dynasty arrived at their military camp, not to mention being treated coldly, Tuoba Wu and others were simply full of enthusiasm.

They made up their minds to take the path of surrender to the end, and they didn't mind posing in a low position in front of the Song Dynasty.

I think they also know that it is not the Song Dynasty that is asking them now, but the Song Dynasty.

I am nothing in front of the great Song Dynasty.

The surrender was accomplished quite smoothly.

When the envoy of the Song Dynasty returned to the city, he carried the surrender letters of the four major families. The four major families originally bowed to the Song Dynasty and later obeyed the control of the Song Dynasty.

Later, She Tuoba and others still led the army to Chengdu Prefecture, of course, this was for Heliancheng, Qu Rujian and Li Xiushu to see.

They have to wait.

Wait until the tribe members of Zhongxing Mansion are rescued from the city.

Only in this way can we completely face the empress.

It was this night.

There was a sudden riot in Zhongxing Prefecture.

The masters of various families have gathered in the city for some time by this time.

A few days ago, I received a message from She Tuoba asking them to do something, so of course I would not hesitate anymore.

The masters were led by King Dong Huzhi, the two-gun king.
