Chapter 120 Five Li Qianshun

(Thanks to Jin Sheng Xing Huang for the reward!)
"Tubo?" Li Qianshun looked at Jiumozhi with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

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

"Hehe!" Li Ganshun interrupted Jiumozhi's words, and said, "In matters of marriage, parents decide, even if it is the case for ordinary people's homes, let alone the royal family? Master Jiumozhi, don't you know this truth? Did you ever promise to Tubo? Or did the queen mother and her elders promise?"

Jiumozhi's expression turned ugly immediately, and he said, "But at that time..."

Li Qiushui said: "Before the battle, the situation was critical, and Qinglu was worried about my safety, so she just spoke nonsense for a while. Did Jiumozhi think that such a marriage could be decided based on her few words at that time? "

Although Jiumozhi was in a hurry, he could still restrain his emotions, but Prince Zongzan couldn't.

He stared at Li Qiushui and Li Ganshun and said, "Are you Xixia planning to repent? Do you know your current situation?"

Li Qiushui said: "We Xixia's situation, don't we know better than you? Prince Zongzan, I always thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."

Li Qianshun also had a look of contempt.

Prince Zongzan looked at Li Qiushui, then at Li Qianshun, furious, and finally 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 Highness, don't you have anything to say?"

Li Qinglu said: "My affairs are decided by the queen mother and father. As a junior, I can only obey."

"Pfft!" Prince Zongzan spat out a mouthful of old blood, completely out of anger.

Although he wasn't extremely smart, he wasn't really stupid either. At this point, he still didn't know that he was completely played by others.

Jiumozhi glanced coldly at Li Qiushui, Li Qianshun, and Li Qinglu for a while, then pulled Prince Zongzan away.

At this point, it's useless for him to stay.

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

The Xixia Kingdom is at the end of the road, and now that even the Tubo Kingdom has lost its ally, the future prospects may be even more worrisome, and their chances of relying on the Xixia Kingdom to achieve success are even slimmer.

It was just seeing Li Qiushui and Li Qianshun's decisive attitude, they knew that even if they tried to persuade them, it would be useless, so they didn't speak up.

"Since you have no interest in Tubo, what are your plans if you don't know about the Queen Mother and Your Majesty?" Murong Bo asked.

Li Ganshun said: "I am the emperor of Xixia. If Qin wants to destroy Xixia, it must march on my corpse."

His tone was extremely decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.

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

Li Qiushui said: "I plan to take the dew and go back to the mountains and forests, and never care about worldly affairs."

This time Murong Bo frowned even deeper, and said: "Queen Mother, if you plan this way, don't you worry about Tianshan Child Elder seeking revenge?"

Li Qiushui fell silent.

In fact, this is what Li Qiushui is most worried about. The destruction of the other Xixia kingdoms is nothing to her.

In her eyes, the Xixia Kingdom is just a post station, and she can leave and abandon it at any time.

However, she is well aware of Tianshan Child Elder's difficulty. Although the sky and the earth are big, she can hide in many places, but Tianshan Child Elder is in charge of the Vulture Palace, with 36 caves and 72 islands under her jurisdiction. She is very powerful, and she needs to be found. It's not difficult.

Tianshan Child Elder's miraculous skills have been achieved, Li Qiushui was worried about her before, so he assembled the masters of Xixia Yipin Hall, besieged the Vulture Palace, and wanted to eradicate this evil, but Wu Yazi rescued him.

Now that Xixia has suffered a disastrous defeat, she is about to be in trouble, and there are probably subordinates from the Vulture Palace who are watching around, waiting for her to leave and attack her.

"Murong Bo, if you have any suggestion, just say it directly." Li Qiushui gave Murong Bo a sideways look.

No one was surprised by this.

Among the people in the arena, Li Qiushui's martial arts is the best, but when it comes to plotting and scheming, who can compare to Murong Bo?
Ever since the Yanmen Pass incident, he has been planning to stir up a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes and create opportunities for himself to restore the country. It can be said to be as cunning as a fox.

Although the current situation is critical, others may be desperate, but Murong Bo will definitely not.

In fact, it is not only Murong Bo, but also Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing. They originally had nothing left, only one ambition, and they can support it until now. At this moment, compared to before, at least they still have such a Forces gather together.

There are still many things that four peerless masters can do.

Murong Bo glanced at the crowd, and said: "It is not easy to defend the Xixia Kingdom, retreat is certain. In fact, just now Jiumozhi proposed that retreating to the Tubo Kingdom is also a way of retreat, but since it was rejected by the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, I will not go further." That said, the only places we can escape are Song and Dali."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Murong Bo continued: "The state of Song has been weak for a long time, the court of the state of Song may not accept us, and we have been in conflict with the martial arts in the Central Plains before, so no matter whether it is the court or the rivers and lakes, we cannot be tolerated by the state of Song. Therefore, we really Only Dali can go to the place.”

"But there has been a long-standing dispute between me and the royal family of Dali. I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive there." Duan Yanqing said.

"Hmph!" Murong Bo's expression became concentrated, and he said: "It's just Dali, a small country with few soldiers and generals. Could it be that we are afraid of it? We didn't go here this time to seek refuge. Brother Duan, you were originally the prince of Dali. , now enthroned as emperor, that is also a matter of course."

Duan Yanqing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, it was similar to what they had discussed before the war, to help him ascend the throne of Dali after the war, but at that time they were thinking about the victory of Xixia, but now it is Xixia's disastrous defeat and is in danger of extinction.

But to Duan Yanqing, whether Xixia is destroyed or not is not an important matter, the only thing he cares about is his plan to win the throne.

Murong Bo said: "Helping brother Duan regain the throne, brother Duan can use the power of a country to protect the safety of the queen mother and princess, and also help my father and son recover Dayan. This is beneficial to the three of us."

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

Li Qianshun said: "You go! Qin's army going south, there must be someone to resist, I will stay and consume Qin's strength, although Dali and Qin are separated by Tubo and Song, it is not easy to go south , but there is always some possibility. Moreover, if the rest of our troops want to retreat to Dali, the Tubo Kingdom will not agree, and the Song Kingdom is our feud, so there is no need to count on it. We can only bring a small number of masters to go."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and Li Qiushui and Li Qinglu were even more shocked.

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

The purpose was not only to protect Li Qinglu, but also to annoy the Tubo Kingdom and block everyone's idea of ​​persuading him to retreat to Dali.

Although the Xixia Kingdom suffered a disastrous defeat, there are still nearly 20 remaining troops. These tribes are led by dignitaries, and the Xixia Kingdom no longer has enough qualified generals to rule them. Only Li Qianshun has this ability.

If you chose to join forces with the Tubo Kingdom just now, the rest of the Xixia tribe would be able to retreat to Tubo, and then retreat from Tubo to Dali, but if you offended the Tubo Kingdom just now, it would be very difficult for the rest of the Xixia tribe to borrow a way.

"Father..." Li Qinglu shouted, tears streaming down her face.

Li Qianshun said: "Child, don't be like this! Since ancient times, no one has died. Although I, Li Qianshun, am not a hero, I am not a king of injustice. The Xixia state society is about to perish, how can I survive alone."

"Father, if you keep the green hills alive, you won't have to worry about firewood. As long as you are alive, there is still hope for Xixia Kingdom to recover." Li Qinglu said.

"Hehe!" Li Qianshun said with a smile: "If it was a few years ago, I might be like this. But seeing that some families have sacrificed generation after generation in order to restore the country, and the result is still in vain, I still don't torture myself and future generations. .”

Everyone heard the words and looked at Murong Bo and his son, knowing that Li Qianshun was talking about them.

The expressions of Murong's father and son remained unchanged. They also knew the difficulty of their plan, but as descendants of the Murong family, they inherited the obsession from generation to generation. They all set the mission of restoring Dayan, so naturally they would not give up their thoughts just because of Li Qianshun's few words.

Li Qiushui and Li Qinglu were completely wiped out, dissuading Li Qianshun's thoughts, but it was inevitable to feel sad, especially Li Qinglu, who cried a lot.

When she stopped crying, everyone had already gone to their own business.

Li Qiushui, Duan Yanqing, Murong Bo, and Murong Fu chose the best soldiers in the army. Although it is not reliable to take a large army to cross the Song Dynasty, or go to Dali from Tubo, but it is not a problem to bring one or two hundred elites.

Li Qianshun, on the other hand, assembled the defeated Xixia army and King Qin soldiers from all over the place to fight Cang Fei to the death.

……

After resting for three days, Qin Bing continued to go south.

All the way through the pass, the fighting spirit of the Xixia Kingdom has been lost, and the strength of the army is so disparate that it is impossible to stop the advance of the Great Qin.

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

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the spies have sent a secret report that the Empress Dowager of the Western Xia Kingdom, Princess Li Qinglu, Duan Yanqing, and Murong's father and son left with some elite troops. The Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun led an army of 20 troops and stationed in the capital to prepare for a decisive battle with us." Chen Guang benevolence.

Cang Fei smiled and said: "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, then you can find out that Li Qiushui and the others escaped route?"

Chen Guangren said: "Their whereabouts are secretive, and they are divided into two routes. One goes to Tubo, and the other goes to Song. I don't know which one is the real one."

Cang Fei said: "Tubo? Song State? Hey! I'm afraid these are not their choices. Of course, if they want to escape, they must escape to a truly safe place. These two countries will face the threat of our Great Qin in the future. Tubo, or Song Guo used the road to go to Dali."

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

Cang Fei said: "Forget it, with their strength, your people will not be able to do anything to catch up with them, but they will die in vain. Now that the Xixia Kingdom has not yet been settled, let's let them go, anyway, they are just rootless now. Piaoping, forgive them for not being able to make any troubles."

Chen Guangren nodded.

Regarding Cang Fei's words, he didn't think it was inappropriate. Cang Fei didn't think too much about it. Even the Xixia Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom could be easily destroyed, and other countries would not be placed in Qin's eyes.

The only one that is a bit threatening may be Song State, but such a weak country may not be able to guarantee its success, and it is a joke to be aggressive. The threat to Qin State is actually very small.

"Has anyone been sent to persuade them to surrender?" Cang Fei asked.

Chen Guangren said: "Yes, but it was beheaded by Li Qianshun's order."

Cang Fei said: "It seems that he is quite staunch, let's see if he can persist until the end, and order the army to attack."

"Yes!" Chen Guangren left in response.

……

"Rumble!"

The drums of the Qin army shook the sky and the ground.

"Kill!"

Qin soldiers attacked from all directions, and every section of the city wall had fierce battles between Qin army soldiers and Xixia soldiers, and soldiers died continuously.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, the casualties of our army will be very heavy." Chen Guangren looked at the soldiers who died on the battlefield, and said a little bit unbearably.

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

Chen Guangren said: "Actually, even if we besiege and don't attack, within a few months, the food relief in Xingqing City will be exhausted and it will not be able to sustain it."

Cang Fei said: "Several months? Do you want me to wait so long? And that's just your guess. What if Li Qianshun is really crazy? If a gentleman guards the country, if he is determined to resist, there is no food, and he can even change his son to eat." If it can be done, guarding such a fortified city may not be a problem for a year or two."

Chen Guangren said: "But as it is now, we also..."

Cang Fei said: "The war ends earlier, and we control Xixia earlier, not only can reduce the loss of continuing the war, but also avoid the prying eyes of Tubo and Song. Don't look at the honest appearance of these two countries during this period, then It is because our Great Qin has won consecutive battles, and they dare not make mistakes. If we are defeated by the city of Xingqing, will they be reconciled and not send troops to embarrass us?"

"You also came out of reading the books of sages, and now you are the commander-in-chief. You should understand it very well. War is never just a war, but also involves politics. We must not show the slightest decline. We must destroy Xixia in one go. This is a chance for Tubo and Song to make a move."

Chen Guangren sighed softly: "Your Majesty, I finally understand."

"Then continue." Cang Fei said.

……

After Qin Bing attacked frantically for more than a month, the Xixia Army finally couldn't resist and was breached.

When Cang Fei entered Xingqing City, the Xixia Palace was already in flames. It turned out that Li Qianshun burned himself to death in the palace the moment the city was broken.

Moreover, he also ordered the defenders in the city to set fire to the city wantonly.

When the sea of ​​fire was extinguished, what was left to Cang Fei was a battered city of Xingqing.
