Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"During these years in Xixia, I have always missed the official family."

Stop talking, I almost went to the north to live in a five-star thatched cottage under your coercion.

"You've worked hard all these years."

"It is my honor to be able to serve the Great Song Dynasty and be loyal to His Majesty."

Zhao Ning suddenly asked, "What was Li Qianshun doing when you came back?"

"He drank and had fun in the palace all day long, indulged in the business of Song and Xia, and mentioned you many times, the official, saying that if it weren't for the official's sage and benevolence, the two countries would not share peace."

"Oh?" Zhao Ning said, "From this point of view, the war this time is still my fault. Is it because I broke the peace between the two countries?"

Sun Fu quickly said: "No, that peace is only the peace that Li Qianshun thinks. He is short-sighted, how can he know the strategy in the heart of the emperor."

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "Then tell me, what strategy do I have in mind?"

"The peace that Li Qianshun thinks is just a small way, a temporary peace, but the peace that the Son of Heaven wants is peace for all generations. This kind of peace can only be achieved by eradicating Xixia. Therefore, the Son of Heaven's crusade against Xixia this time is to enjoy peace for all generations. "

"Sun Qing has not been lazy at all in the past few years in Xixia!"

"Thanks to His Majesty's instruction."

"How about the people's livelihood in Xingqing Prefecture, and the military equipment?"

"When Minsheng Bichen of Xingqing Mansion first left, it was the same. Xixia has made a lot of money in the Song Xia trade over the years, but most of this money has flowed into the hands of officials and nobles. However, it is worthy of vigilance that Li Qianshun A lot of money has been spent on military defense, and as for the details of Xixia's military equipment, I have not been able to find out."

"Okay, you have done a very good job. When you return to Song Dynasty this time, go to the Ministry of Rites. I will not treat you badly for your dedication to Song Dynasty over the years."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"This time I will personally conquer Xixia, and I still need Qing to accompany me."

"Will go through fire and water for His Majesty."

When the monarch and his ministers were talking, they saw Zhang Jun hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Li Renzhong, the Western Xia Clan, is here."

When Sun Fu heard this, he immediately added: "Li Renzhong's title in Xixia is King Pu, and Li Qianshun attaches great importance to him. This person participated in Xixia's study of Han rituals and vigorously promoted many measures of agricultural administration. He is a talent."

"Xuan."

Li Renzhong walked into the palace, and he was quite surprised along the way, because he found that the military equipment here is extremely strict and exquisite.

He didn't know who Zhang Jun was bringing him to meet.

Could it be Kang Wang?

I heard that King Kang was in the Hehuang area, but not in Chang'an.

Not long after, Li Renzhong saw Zhao Guan's family.

Zhang Jun said, "Xia Envoy, you haven't yet met the Son of Heaven."

Li Renzhong was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and when he realized it, he saw an old acquaintance standing aside.

"Guardian Sun, you..." Li Renzhong looked at the young man sitting in the middle again, and immediately saluted, "Foreign ministers, see His Majesty the Emperor of Song Dynasty, and wish you peace."

"I'm safe."

Li Renzhong said again: "I don't know that the emperor is driving Chang'an, and the foreign ministers are abrupt and fail to prepare generous gifts. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

"Those who do not know are innocent."

Li Renzhong's attitude is also in compliance with the ritual system of the Celestial Dynasty.

After all, Xixia had surrendered to Song Dynasty.

When Li Qianshun first ascended the throne, Song Dynasty first bestowed Li Qianshun as King Xia, and then the Liao Kingdom also canonized Li Qianshun as King Xia.

Both powers declared Xixia to be their vassal state.

Li Renzhong continued: "The foreign ministers came here this time, apart from greeting Da Song on behalf of our lord, there is one more thing they want to ask for an explanation. Since the emperor is here, it would be great."

"You can say it anyway."

"The Song army rashly attacked our Shizhou and blatantly violated the contract between the two countries. Dare I ask Da Song how to explain it?"

"That's a good question." Zhao Ning said, "I also have a question for you."

"If the emperor has any questions, just ask."

"Is there a general named Li Liangfu in your country?"

"There is such a person."

"Two months ago, this person led Xia Jun to the Anbei Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty, and launched a surprise attack on our soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty without warning, resulting in the tragic death of hundreds of soldiers. May I ask your envoy, how do you plan to explain this matter to me? "

Zhao Guanjia's tone was calm, but under this peaceful tone, there was a sense of oppression that was not angry and prestige.

Li Renzhong was slightly startled, his mind turned rapidly, but he remembered that Li Liangfu was indeed on a mission in Anbei Mansion.

It's just that he remembered that Brother Li Cha's order to Li Liangfu was to come back after wandering around there, not to really fight Song Jun, could it be...

"This matter is groundless, the Son of Heaven must not listen to rumors."

"Your Excellency, what you mean is that whoever killed my Great Song soldier, we can't see or hear it?"

"This……"

"I am the lord of the world, so naturally I will not do things that violate the morals of the world. I have been trying to restore the relationship between Song and Xia, and vigorously promote the border trade between the two countries. I am also very pleased that the people of the two countries can benefit from it, but..."

Sitting there, Zhao Ning looked a little lazy. The autumn afternoon sun fell on the gold thread of his crimson gauze robe, flowing with crystal luster.

"But Li Qianshun broke his promise again and again. He deceived me and tried to play with me and the people of the Great Song Dynasty. For the sake of the common people in the world, I tolerated him many times, but he made an inch of it!"

Li Renzhong stood there with a pale face, unable to speak back.

But Zhao Ning continued: "If I turn a blind eye again, how can I explain to the subjects of the world?"

Sun Fu on the other side sighed in his heart: It must be Zhao Guan's family, with a butcher knife in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, killing people and killing people, people all over the world still have to applaud, and all civil and military officials have nothing to say.

In the past ten years in the Song Dynasty, so many battles have been fought, the bigger the people in the Song Dynasty, the happier they are?

why?

Because Dayi is always on Da Song's side!

People are like this, they are not living well in front of them, but they are extremely yearning to benefit the common people in the world.

Zhao Guan's family just gave them a chance to move themselves spiritually, and they didn't need to go to the front line by themselves.

"Does the Son of Heaven know how many warriors we have in Great Xia who are good at fighting?"

Daoyi has no chance, and Li Renzhong will definitely put psychological pressure on Zhao Guanjia to make him retreat.

Zhao Ning smiled.

Chapter 1029 Lightning Strikes Xiazhou! (Second more)

"Are you threatening me?"

"The foreign ministers absolutely dare not. The foreign ministers just want to let the emperor know that our Great Xia Kingdom is not easy to provoke. There is also a Jin Kingdom in the north of the Great Song Dynasty that is like a tiger and wolf. The emperor should carefully weigh the pros and cons of it."

"You don't need to bother, Jin Guo has already gone back to deal with his own affairs." Zhao Ning stood up and waved his long sleeves, which fluttered in the autumn wind.

"Take the envoy Xia down to rest, and when I personally conquer Xixia, let the envoy Xia see with my own eyes how my million soldiers from the Song Dynasty conquered the Xingqing Mansion!"

On the afternoon of the ninth day of September, the Huanzhou and Dingbian armies on Huanqing Road and the security forces on Fuyan Road went as usual.

According to this kind of military defense, the Xixia scouts would not be able to see any bad intentions of the Song army even if they forced a few pairs of eyes on their faces.

When the southern line was quiet, the Song army gathered in Shizhou suddenly moved.

Shizhou mobilized [-] iron cavalry and [-] elite armored infantry in one go. Without mobilizing logistics, [-] troops went straight from Shizhou to Xiazhou to kill quickly.

At this time, most of Xiazhou's scouts were withdrawn by Xiao Heda, and he only arranged for his confidants to observe the movements of the Song army outside and report to him at any time.

On the tenth day of early September, Xiao Heda received information from the scouts: Song Jun is coming!

Liu Rui, the general manager of Yinzhou soldiers and horses, personally commanded him, and rushed all the way to Xiazhou.

At this time, outside Xiazhou City, the rolling Youzhou Xixia Army did not realize that the Song Army had already killed them, and they were still waiting for Li Zhong to come out of Xiazhou City.

In the morning, Quo Chaoxun, deputy commander of Youzhou, was still asking: "Li Tongjun has been to Xiazhou City for two days, why hasn't he returned to camp?"

Staff officer Sun Qing said: "Deputy Commander, according to the officer, the situation is not good."

"How do you say that?"

"I'm afraid Li Tongjun has encountered an accident."

"Nonsense!" Po Chaoxun scolded, "Li Tongjun is my Daxia royal family, even if Xiao Heda had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly like this!"

"But now is the time of war, and the battle situation is ever-changing. If Li Tongjun is not around all the time, it will be unfavorable for the battle situation. The deputy commander should prepare early."

"How to prepare early?"

"One is to prepare well for Li Tongjun not coming back, the second is to send people into the city to dignify people, and the third is to quickly send scouts to Shizhou to monitor the Song army. Now the scouts in Shizhou are Xiao Heda's. Our people It’s really not in our interest to act yet.”

"I don't know!" Po Chaoxun said angrily, "I can't mobilize the scouts, and Li Tongjun must personally order them!"

In the era of cold weapons, scouts are the elite of the army. After all, reconnaissance of the enemy is a difficult task.

The position of lieutenant general is generally to directly lead troops to fight, and the scouts report to the leader.

Li Zhong thought he was smart, he entered the city but did not leave behind, now he is not here, the dragons have no leader, the [-] troops can only stay here honestly.

"Then we can only send people into the city to demand people now!" Sun Qing continued, "It's not too late!"

Po Chaoxun and Sun Qing walked out of the camp, where the Xixia soldiers were training outside.

The rolling tents spread out on the hillside, covering the entire hillside.

In ancient times, when marching and fighting, in order to prevent raids on the camp, such terrain was generally chosen for camping.

But reality and ideals always have a way out.

It is not easy for a [-] army to be stationed, the ups and downs are at least several miles.

It is impossible to accommodate so many people on this hillside, and some people can only be stationed on the flat ground in front.

Po Chaoxun is a member of the party, and Po Chao is one of the eight surnames of the party.

He still has a lot of weight in the army.

Po Chaoxun shouted: "Come here, order two thousand elites to go to the gate of Xiazhou city immediately and shout, let Xiazhou open the city gate, we will welcome Li Tongjun!"

"Yes!"

The messenger immediately took up the command flag and began to organize troops.

Soon two thousand elites were drawn from the army.

Ye Limingshan, the commanding officer at the front, ran over and shouted, "Report! Deputy Commander, the troops have assembled!"

Po Chaoxun was riding on the horse, and he inspected the two thousand elites, all in armor, and he couldn't help nodding in satisfaction.

"Now our army is very different from the past, and all of them are wearing armor. With such a strong army, I will fight the Song army again. I will kill the Song army and flee!"

Sun Qing said suddenly: "Long live Daxia!"

"Long live the Great Xia!" The crowd shouted with momentum like a rainbow.

As soon as the words fell, an iron cannon came and hit Sun Qing directly on the head.

Sun Qing's head exploded like a ripe watermelon in summer, and his brains splashed all over the floor.

Before he even uttered a scream, he fell from his horse and fell to the ground, with red and white blood flowing all over the ground.

But before everyone could react, there were suddenly several rumbling sounds from the opposite mountain.

Six iron cannons came from the opposite mountain, hitting the two thousand Xixia elite army.

Those soldiers were hit, like a stone thrown into the water, causing a few waves.

After a brief moment of doubt, panic immediately arose.

"There is an enemy attack!" Someone yelled.

The others were even more confused.

This is the top of the hillside, is there an enemy attack?

What did the enemy use to sneak attack?

Qu Chaoxun looked dazed, but his staff officer had already died in front of him. Seeing this scene, he immediately looked around, but saw nothing.
