Chapter 24: Kill two birds with one stone

The Chinese New Year is over and we are finally back. I wish you a happy New Year! All your wishes come true in the new year and all your wishes will come true!

Wu Ji's conditions were not to scare Li Bingchang and the others. What shocked them was Wu Ji's attitude, killing the envoy directly, that is, if you don't talk about this, Wu Ji's condition was an ultimatum. If you don't accept it, you will be waiting for destruction.

No one would doubt Wu Ji's determination. Wu Ji had an unparalleled determination, otherwise Wu Ji would not have killed the envoy.

Listening to the words of the followers, it was as if he saw the bloody butcher knife in Wu Ji's hand. Once it fell, many people would inevitably roll down, and the ministers could not help but be afraid.

"This, this..." Li Bingchang was a stuttering person, and his face changed color and was as pale as paper, as if he had been buried in the soil.

Since Li Yuanhao became emperor, Xixia has been suppressing the Song Dynasty and gaining the upper hand. In front of the Song Dynasty, the Xixia emperor was as free as a fish in water. When did he be so frightened?

He could not accept both Wu Ji's two conditions. Li Bing always accepted it. Although the emperor's title is extremely honorable, it can also be said to be a false reputation. If you lose a false reputation, it is cost-effective to preserve the Western Xia. The problem is that you have to go to Bianjing, which is unacceptable.

In order to solve the problem of the northwest, Emperor Taizong of Song asked Li to move to Bianjing, and all except Li Jiqian went. The reason why Li Jiqian escaped was that he realized that when he went to Bianjing, he would be the dragon trapped in the shallows, and everything was gone.

If Li Bingchang had gone to Bianjing, he would have lost everything, and this would never be accepted.

As for the second point, it is even more unacceptable to hand over Li Zongbao, Liang Xi, and the Xixia soldiers who participated in the Battle of Shanzhou. If they accept it, it will be a matter of letting Wu Ji deal with it. He has no power to resist.

No matter how harsh the conditions Wu Ji proposed, as long as the army was in hand, Li Bingchang would have the strength to challenge, and he would not accept this anyway.

As the thoughts changed, Li Bingchang had already made a decision. Li Zongbao and Liang Xi were looking at him nervously. The two were worried that he would agree to Wu Ji's conditions and hand them over. In the battle of Shanzhou, Li Zongbao and Liang Xi were covered in blood. The Song Dynasty was so angry that it was inevitable that they would attack them. Once they were handed over, they would not have a good end and they had to be afraid.

"Don't worry, two of you, I will never do such a thing as a relative, and you will be happy with your enemies!" Li Bingchang had to take advantage of the two of them, so he was busy comforting him.

"Huh!" Li Zonghe and Liang Xi looked at each other, and finally let go of their hearts.

Dong Zhao saw it and secretly praised him. Li Bingchang was considered a character, but he did not surrender under Wu Ji's threat. Tubo helped them get the right thing.

"Wu Ji wants to fight, we will fight!" Li Bingchang shouted to the ministers: "Wu Ji's army is far away in Xiazhou, so it scares you like this? You are too embarrassed by Da Xia!"

"This..." The ministers felt ashamed and lowered their heads.

"Look at you two, you are so brave, and you are worthy of being the warriors of Daxia?" Li Bingchang continued to criticize, his tone was very high: "Wu Ji wants to destroy Daxia, and Daxia's warriors are not only good at eating mutton and drinking horses. If you kill people, our Daxia warriors will do it! I want Wu Ji to know why Daxia's warriors can suppress Emperor Song for decades!"

His voice was very high, passionate, and very inspiring. The ministers felt a little confident and couldn't help but straighten their chests.

Seeing that his speech had worked, Li Bingchang was very satisfied. He was about to say something else, but he was interrupted by a trusted person who rushed in quickly.

The confidant looked frightened, his face turned pale, and he was trembling when he ran away. He shouted from afar: "Report to the emperor, something big is wrong! something big is wrong!"

"Bastard! Shut up! Say it quickly!" The words of this confidant were so shocking that Li Bingchang's face sank and he started to scold him.

"Report to the emperor, Shanyuguan is lost!" The confidant scolded Li Bingchang, was shocked and blurted out.

"Is Shanyuguan lost?" Li Bingchang's turn surprised: "Shanyuguan is dangerous. If it is lost, it will be difficult for my army to mobilize."

"Emperor, the emperor, more than 300 warriors guarding the pass killed more than 100 of the Song army, and the rest was thrown off the cliff and turned into meat paste!" Just when Li Bingchang was shocked, the confidant continued to report.

"What? Throw it down the cliff?" Li Bingchang rolled his eyes and looked shocked.

Not only was he shocked, but also Dong Zhao, the ministers of Xixia, were all moved, with a look of panic on his face.

"Wu Ji is demonstrating to Da Xia! He is demonstrating!" Some ministers were quick-witted and took the lead in expressing Wu Ji's intentions.

"Report to the emperor..." Another confidant rushed in and shouted from afar: "Feiyun Pass is lost. The Song army nailed the warriors guarding the pass to the tree, peeled their skins, and sucked their tendons, and wrapped their intestines around their necks, so that the warriors could not survive or die!"

These words were like cold water rolling into the oil pan and exploded immediately. The Xixia ministers screamed and accused them.

"Skin-pulling and cramping?"

"Put your intestines around your neck? You can't survive or die?"

"The people of Song are too cruel! They claim to be kind and righteous, but do cruel things!"

"The Song people are false benevolence and righteousness. The warriors who insult Daxia in this way cannot tolerate it! They must not tolerate it!"

The accusations and screams of the ministers were heard, but Li Zongbao and Liang Xi looked at each other and shook their heads. They knew very well that what the Western Xia army did in Shanzhou was ten times more brutal than this, and the Song army was revenge.

Sure enough, the confidant continued to report: "The Song army still left the words, saying that this was revenge on the beast business of Daxia in Shanzhou! They said, they said..." At this point, he looked at Li Bingchang and shut up obediently.

"What did they say?" Li Bingchang clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

The confidant was frightened and had to report honestly: "Song Jun also said that if the emperor dared to be an enemy of the Song Dynasty, he would definitely get rid of skin and cramps!"

"Take my skin? Pull my tendons?" Li Bingchang screamed, his voice sharp and high, which was even more unpleasant and much ugly than the eunuch's voice.

Isn't this a naked slap in the face? Li Bingchang was so angry that his body trembled, shaking, and he would fall down at any time. However, the ministers did not dare to come forward to help each other, so they could only watch.

"General Li, General Liang, what did you do in Shanzhou? It made Wu Ji so angry and do this? "Dong Zhao looked at Li Zongbao and Liang Xi and asked.

The cause of the incident was known. The ministers looked at Li Zongbao and Liang Xi, waiting for their answers.

"Oh!" Li Zongbao and Liang Xi looked at each other and sighed. Li Zongbao said: "The facts of Shanzhou are a shame for the Great Xia! What the Song army did is nothing compared to the things in Shanzhou! The cruel things that happened in Anding five cities are much more cruel than skinning and cramping, and too cruel!"

"It's not an exaggeration to be cruel ten times more than a hundred times!" Liang Xi took the conversation and said regretfully: "It's so common to peel and cramp, and it's not a problem. Knock the bones and marrow, cut the baby in the caesarean section, dismember the baby, and make people live...numbers are numerous, emerging one after another."

"What? Are you so cruel? Why don't you restrain the three armies?" Li Bingchang also felt nervous in his heart: "Even individuals can't do such a cruel thing!"

"You indulge the three armies and cause such a disaster!" The accusations from the ministers were heard.

"No wonder Wu Ji is very angry! Don't even say that Wu Ji, even if I hear it, I will be angry!" Dong Zhao kept shook his head, feeling extremely regretful.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I am unwilling to restrain the three armies, but that I can't restrain myself. I have no choice but to order the city to massacre!" Li Zongbao and Liang Xi defended in a low voice.

"You, you..." Li Bingchang pointed at both of them and didn't know what to say.

"Report to the emperor, the Song army has captured another dangerous pass! The warriors guarding the pass are thrusting!"

"Report to the Emperor, the Song army dismembered more than 100 defenders!"

"Report to the Emperor..."

Constables kept coming in and reporting bad news. Every time they reported one, the faces of the ministers in the Western Xia looked a little ugly. The real revenge of the Song army began, and they had to be afraid.

Xiazhou, Wu Ji's general's mansion, Wu Ji is listening to the reports of the generals.

Zhong Shidao and Yao Youzhong fought well, and they kept conquering dangers and captured them. Wu Ji only acquiesced to their revenge and did not give orders. However, for the Western soldiers such as Zhong Shidao, the matter of stabilizing the five cities was their greatest pain, either for tooth or for blood or for blood.

Every time they captured a place, they used the cruel actions of the Xixia soldiers in Anding the Five Cities to vent their anger.

"Well killed! Well killed!"

Zhong Yan, Yao Gu, Li Xian and others heard it, and were very happy in their hearts.

"Since the demise of the previous dynasty, the Song Dynasty has become weak, and the alien race has long forgotten the majesty of China. It's good to do this!" Wu Ji nodded slightly and commented: "Only in this way can the alien race remember the majesty of China and not be offended! Whoever offended the majesty of China will bear the anger of China!"

"They are still very restrained in Jianzhong. There are no women or babies who kill, so they are worthy of Dangxiang people!" Zhong Yan commented.

Among all the atrocities in Xixia, the most angering ones were the women and the murderous babies. These two things were the most despicable. Their Master Zhong did not do it, and they were indeed very restrained.

"Master, Master, it's not good, it's not good!" Zhou Wei hurried in and started shouting from afar.

"Oh! Why is it wrong?" Zhou Wei was extremely brave. It was hard to touch his heart if something casual happened. He was so frightened that something big must have happened. Wu Ji raised his eyebrows, stood up, and asked loudly.

"Report to the Grand Marshal, Tubo has formed an alliance with Xixia, and will soon be united!" Zhou Wei couldn't help rubbing his hands and said angrily: "They are colluding with each other! Once the troops are joined, it will be a huge threat to the Song Dynasty!"

Xixia was not an opponent of the Song Dynasty. In this battle, the Song army had a great chance of victory. Once Tubo joined, the strength of Xixia increased greatly, and the Song army might not necessarily fail, which would at least cause great trouble to the Song army.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The generals were so angry that they cursed, and the scolding sounded, shaking the roof tiles.

"Ha ha!"

Just as the generals scolded, Wu Ji laughed loudly and looked cheerful: "This is a good thing! A great good thing, how angry are you?"
