1256. Empress out of the palace
Heliancheng watched Zheng Yihang leave, opened his mouth, but in the end he was unable to call him.
yes……
What qualifications do they have to question the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty?
What reason is there to help others with their own affairs when they pay the price?
Besides, the Song Dynasty had actually done its best to the Western Xia, right?
In the end, Heliancheng just walked out of the city in disgrace.
The back looks extremely desolate.
This is their Xixia civil war. This mess can only be cleaned up by them.
After returning to the army, Heliancheng looked at the exhausted soldiers and then at the countless corpses around him, and felt a little powerless.
The soldiers who survived now alone could not even be able to clean the battlefield.
Afterwards, he had to lead his army into the city.
Without leaving the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, the four major military guards in the city did not resist and expressed their surrender to the imperial guards of the Western Xia.
Heliancheng mobilized the people in the city to help clean the battlefield.
It's not just an army matter.
There are corpses everywhere outside the city. If the weather gets hot again, it will inevitably cause a plague. At that time, not to mention Longzhou City, even the entire Xixia may suffer greatly.
Although Zheng Yihang said that the Song Dynasty had no obligation to help Xixia, he still led many soldiers out of the city to help the Xixia imperial guards clean the battlefield.
The bodies of the soldiers of both armies were piled up and burned to ashes.
The remaining weapons, armor, etc. piled up into mountains outside the city.
It took two days to clean the battlefield alone.
At this time, the front-line military newspaper had already been received in the Xixia Zhongxing Prefecture.
Li Xiushu, Zhongsun Qifu and others were filled with dark clouds.
Although all the troops that the four major military commands went to fight were destroyed, their family background was almost wiped out.
When Li Xiushu announced this incident in the hall, all the civil and military ministers in the hall were full of grief. Some people cried loudly.
Some people were angry with the Song Dynasty like Heliancheng and cursed the Song Dynasty.
"Shut up!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing these scoldings, Li Xiushu shouted sternly.
Her eyes were filled with anger and said, "It is a perfect end to the right of Song State to be able to help each other. How can you force Song State to help us in our Xixia family?"
She gritted her teeth and said, "The Four Army Divisions are internal thieves! If you want to destroy them, we should be destroyed by Xixia! Why do you cry and blame them? If you have this strength, you might as well think about how to destroy all the great clans of the Four Army Divisions next! With them in Xixia, my throne will always be uneasy."
Her sudden furiousness made the crying sounds in the hall suddenly stop.
After a long time, Zhongsun Qifu suddenly left the list.
He bowed to Li Xiushu and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the destruction of the four major military departments should not be too hasty. Although the imperial guards have suffered heavy losses, the old minister is eager to eliminate the great troubles in Xixia, but... our national strength is no longer able to support us to continue the conquest. The old minister thinks that in order to recover the four major military departments, we should first revitalize the army, raise food and grass, and then ensure that the people in the country live and work in peace and contentment."
Li Xiushu pondered and sighed softly, "I also know that you are right at the old teacher. I can't swallow this anger! When will I get it when I have to wait for the reorganization?"
Zhongsun Qifu said: "Now we have bowed our heads to the Song Dynasty, why not send envoys to the Song Dynasty for assistance?"
Then without waiting for everyone to speak, he immediately said: "Although the Great Song Imperial Army is unlikely to help us on an expedition, we may be able to provide some assistance in terms of financial and material resources."
All the ministers in the court looked at him, and some people nodded gently unconsciously.
Taking the current situation in Xixia and the current foundation of their empress group, if they want to destroy the four major military departments, they can only ask for help from the Song Dynasty.
After all, although the army that the four major military commands went to fight was wiped out, their foundation in their respective nests was not overturned.
With their hard work and self-study over the years, the major military departments must still have outstanding power.
These people have dealt with the Tuoba family and She Tuo family of the four major military departments before, and they have some understanding of their background.
It can even be said that the empress group, which is based on the two military departments of Gansu and Xiangqing, has a foundation that is actually not as good as the four major families.
If it weren't for Li Xiushu's design to put all the important figures of the family under house arrest in Zhongxing Mansion, perhaps at this time, the emperor would have been dragged off the horse.
After hearing Zhongsun Qifu's words, Li Xiushu didn't know what she was thinking, but she actually said, "Then I will go to Changsha in person!"
After saying that, she did not give the ministers in the palace a chance to object, and said: "When I am away, all major events in the court will be decided by the Grand Tutor. Do my best to mobilize the army from Lintao, Fengxiang, Lizhou, and the east and west to Xiangqing, and Gansu to strictly prevent the people of the four major military departments from jumping over the wall! Since we do not have enough strength to destroy them at the moment, we will defend our foundation first. When the army reorganizes, I will personally fight to make our Xixia truly rule!"
"Long live the emperor!"
In fact, some of the court officials wanted to advise Li Xiushu not to go to Changsha, but Li Xiushu said this, and they could only swallow the words back into their stomachs.
They just thought that the emperor had a close relationship with the Emperor of Song Dynasty and went there in person, probably because they wanted to get more help.
On this day, the Western Xia Empress Li Xiushu left Zhongxing Prefecture and went to Changsha before Heliancheng led his army back to Zhongxing Prefecture.
In order to arrive in Changsha as soon as possible, she even brought only a few sword-serving female officials and a few masters from Tingchao Mansion.
Naturally, he would not show himself to the identity of the Empress of Xixia.
Outside Longzhou City.
The corpses were originally covered with cleaning up at this time.
Heliancheng led the remaining soldiers to temporarily station in Longzhou City, intending to lead his army back to Zhongxing Prefecture after the funeral was handled properly.
Zheng Yihang and Batu will not continue to stay here, and lead their troops to leave Longzhou City and return to Chengdu Prefecture.
The war in Xixia has completely ended.
The Song Dynasty is undoubtedly the biggest winner.
It seems that the Song Dynasty played the most unbearable role in this war. But those with a little vision know that the Emperor of Song was already taking special care of Xixia.
Because the Song Dynasty had a chance to take advantage of the opportunity to win the entire Xixia, and it was almost certain to win.
Many people even don’t understand why the Emperor of Song gave Xixia such an opportunity.
At the beginning, the Song Dynasty helped the Western Xia. This time, it was the Western Xia that took the initiative to declare war on the Song Dynasty.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty acted like this to repay his grievances with virtue. In the eyes of many people, I am afraid that there is some kindness of women.
As a monarch, you should expand your territory in the face of such an excellent opportunity.
Zhao Dongting would not care about what these people thought, and the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty would not care about it either.
In the minds of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Dongting was already like a god. Any words he said and any decision he made must be correct.
Two days have passed.
Zheng Yihang and Batu led the Iron Cavalry back to Chengdu Prefecture.
Liu Zhuwen and others had already learned the news of the end of the war at this time, and only heard a more detailed process from Zheng Yihang and Batu.
This made them sigh softly.
But this sigh was not because of the loss of troops and generals in the Western Xia Dynasty. It was just because of the disappearance of so many lives.
Afterwards, Liu Zhuwen sent soldiers from all the troops in Chengdu Prefecture to return to the military region.
At the border of Lizhou East Road, Yue Peng also received news that the Western Xia imperial guards destroyed the four major army troops.
This undoubtedly made him feel a little amused.
He led his army from Xiangyang Prefecture to arrive here. After lingering for so long, he didn't even go to the battlefield in the end.
But this also made him feel a little lucky.
There will be war, there will be losses.
Although they were futile in this trip, they did not lose anything other than consuming some food and grass.
After learning the news, Yue Peng also led Tianjie, Tianyong and other troops back to Jingxi South Road and other places.
Time flies.
When the Western Xia was in a turmoil, the Yuan Dynasty had no movement at all. It seemed that it was afraid of being beaten by the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
But in fact, I was secretly trying my best to make firearms.
The real gold from the manufacturing methods of grenade launchers and Shenlong Guns is ambitious, and I naturally hope to have enough firearms as soon as possible and then avenge my previous shame.
It can be said that everyone is gathering their strength in the Yuan Dynasty.
