1239. The situation changes suddenly

This obviously has nothing to do with him, Zhongsun Zhouting.

Tuoba Xiong, Wu Deng and others escaped from Zhongxing Mansion. After Zhongsun Zhouting looked around briefly, he hurried towards the palace.

When Li Xiushu learned about this, she was furious and even angrily accused Zhongsun Zhouting of incompetence.

Zhongsun Zhouting did not dare to argue, but just asked Li Xiushu to sue him.

But in the end, Li Xiushu did not blame him.

Zhongsun Zhouting didn't know that when he left, Li Xiushu's expression was not very solemn.

Although Tingchao Mansion lost many masters in this battle, it only made her feel heartbroken.

If Tuoba Xiong and others escaped from the city, they did not make her feel much anxious.

She must remove the cancer of the four major military departments. No matter whether these people leave Zhongxing Mansion or not, the two groups will eventually be unable to avoid the situation of life and death.

But now that these people leave Zhongxing Prefecture, the rebellion of the four major military departments will no longer have any worries.

Not long after Zhongsun Zhouting left, Li Xiushu sent a message to Changsha.

She wrote in the letter that Zhao Dongting would set up a plan to destroy the four major military departments.

In fact, it is not entirely a bad thing for Li Xiushu to escape from Zhongxing Mansion.

Because the four major military commands completely defeated Xia, the Western Xia army would be even less able to fight with the Song army. The ending of this battle between Song and Xia is expected before it even began.

Xixia will surely be defeated.

And this is exactly what Li Xiushu wanted.

She knew that only by surrendering to the Song Dynasty could the Western Xia continue.

Only when Xixia is facing a desperate situation, will Zhongsun Qifu and other old ministers willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty when they are desperate. At that time, they can only say that the general trend is in progress, no wonder she is Li Xiushu.

Time passed a few days later.

Although Zhongxing Prefecture sent many imperial guards and experts to search out of the city, it was no longer able to find the traces of Tuoba Xiong and others.

The major families have mixed relationships in the Western Xia. It is obvious that it is quite difficult to catch them again when they leave Zhongxing Mansion.

In Changsha City.

Zhongsun Guge took Li Xiushu's letter to meet Zhao Dongting again.

When he learned that the four major army commanders had overthrew Song, his face was full of darkness. When he saw Zhao Dongting again, he no longer had the confidence to be hysterical before.

Obviously, even he believed that Xixia would lose in this battle.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Dongting was of course deliberately looking proud.

Before Zhongsun Guge could speak, Zhao Dongting said, "Did Lord Zhongsun come to ask for surrender to the emperor of Guichao?"

Zhongsun Guge only hummed softly, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Then he took out Li Xiushu's letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Dongting, and said with a stern voice: "This is the letter that the emperor asked me to pass it to you."

Zhao Dongting chuckled and took the letter.

Disassembled and viewed.

There was no surprise in his eyes.

When he learned that the four major military regions surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he expected that the major families would take action in Zhongxing Prefecture.

They could not ignore the families in the city.

But he didn't expect that the major families would cause such a big disturbance.

In the letter, Li Xiushu described in detail the process of various major families breaking out of Zhongxing Mansion.

More than ten Zhenwu realms of both sides fell, which made Zhao Dongting feel a little sad for Li Xiushu and Xiao Niang.

After all, these are their foundations.

Of course he wouldn't take it too seriously.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Dongting just waved his hand and asked Zhongsun Guge to leave.

Then he went back to the bedroom leisurely.

Xixia can be said to be the overall situation.

Outside Chengdu Prefecture.

When She Tuoli, Tuoba Wu, Sikongshe and Wu Ge learned that their clan members had successfully escaped from Zhongxing Mansion, they had no doubts and officially raised the banner of anti-Xia.

This is not just an empress, but a completely opposite to the Xixia Kingdom.

Then, the four of them led their soldiers to Longzhou City, which was about to confront Helian City and Qu Rujian's army.

This incident soon caused a stir in the Western Xia territory.

After Qu Rujian and Heliancheng led their troops to approach Longzhou City, they did not dare to go south again. The entire army was stationed in Qingchuan County, north of Longzhou City.

In this battle between Western Xia and Song, they had to be defeated and attacked into defense before they even arrived in the territory of Song.

But there is nothing we can do about this.

Heliancheng and Qu Rujian both knew very well that the four major military commanders surrendered to the State of Song, and they are still going to Chengdu Prefecture, which is to seek death.

Everyone was in danger in the Western Xia Dynasty.

Empress Lee Soo-sook was slightly disgraceful when she learned about this.

Because she only thought that the four military departments would want to abolish her throne, but she did not think that the four military departments would choose to overthrow the Song Dynasty.

The situation changed drastically.

When the four major army commanders overthrew the Song Dynasty, not to mention Heliancheng or the troops led by Qu Rujian and the others were difficult to resist even the entire Xixia army.

If Zhao Dongting was willing, he could have taken this opportunity to destroy Xixia without any effort.

He could even take over all parts of Xixia very smoothly.

Li Xiushu was still a little worried.

I am worried that Zhao Dongting will no longer act with her according to the original layout. I am worried that Zhao Dongting can still stick to his original intention in the face of such an excellent opportunity.

Because if Zhao Dongting wanted to seize the rule of Xixia now, she would no longer have the strength to resist.

After just receiving the letter from the front line, Li Xiushu hurried to the main hall and summoned all the ministers in the court.

When the officials gathered in the hall, they all changed their qualities when they learned that the four major military departments raised the flag of the fallen Xia.

In the face of the absolute gap in strength, no one can feel lucky.

Li Xiushu sat on the throne and spoke gently, saying, "The four major military officials fell to Song State. My Xixia is in danger. What good ideas do you have?"

The ministers in the court looked at me, I looked at you, and finally their eyes fell on Zhongsun Qifu's face again.

However, this time, Zhongsun Qifu was slightly hunched over, but he was just silent.

With the current situation in Xixia, he could not have a solution. Unless the Western Xia showed a talent like the Emperor of Song.

But in the past dynasties, how could a person like the Emperor of Song appear?

Even if Xixia can have military geniuses, it seems that there is no way to turn things around when the firearms are very different.

This matter has undoubtedly exceeded the expectations of these courtiers.

They originally supported the empress's military service, but they just wanted to declare their position to the Song Dynasty, and did not think about truly defeating the Song Dynasty.

But now, it is difficult to get rid of the tiger.

The Song Dynasty had all its advantages, and it was difficult for them to dominate it.

It took a long time before a minister in the hall said, "Emperor, otherwise let's ask for peace from the State of Song..."

After saying that, I sighed softly.

Li Xiushu's eyebrows immediately stood up, "Our army has not yet attacked Song Tu yet. Isn't it a laughing stock in the world to seek peace?"

At this time, He Liandong, who is the Censorate, finally spoke up and bowed: "Master, if we fight, if we want to make peace again, it will be not easy for us to do anything."

There was a very solemn look on his face.

In his opinion, not to mention the fight, even now, Song State has little hope of agreeing to them for peace.

As for what to maintain the dignity of Xixia, it is now just a joke.

Wouldn't it be foolish to let the country perish in order to maintain dignity?

Li Xiushu's heart moved slightly.

She never thought that these old ministers would have the intention of seeking peace now.

If so, maybe the layout between her and Zhao Dongting could be realized more easily.

Her eyes fell on Zhongsun Qifu's head and said, "Taishu, what do you think?"

Zhongsun Qifu raised his head gently and sighed, "If you don't fight, the country will lose all its face. If you fight, the mountains and rivers will be broken..."

Li Xiushu said: "Then what Master, do you mean...and I want me to ask for peace from the State of Song?"

Zhongsun Qifu could only express his opinion, "The old minister thought that as long as the State of Song did not put forward too much conditions, seeking peace is the right choice now."

Li Xiushu remained silent.

All the ministers in the hall looked at her and waited for her statement.

He Liandong and Zhongsun Qifu both chose to seek peace from the State of Song, and of course they would not raise any objections.

After all, everyone can see clearly the situation on both sides now.

After a long time, Li Xiushu sighed softly, "Then ask for peace from Da Song..."

I said this, and I was afraid that I was laughing secretly in my heart.

After the dynasty was dispersed, Li Xiushu brought He Liandong, Zhongsun Qifu and the others to the imperial study room, and then sent a message to Changsha again.
