Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

261 Persuading Surrender 2

"Your Dangxiang people were originally a small tribe on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and they first attached themselves to Tuguhun. During Tang Gaozong's time, Tuguhun was destroyed by Tubo, and your Dangxiang people lost their backing. Therefore, you asked to be attached to Datang. Tang Gaozong agreed to resettle you In the Songzhou area. When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, you were still afraid of the Tubo army, so you asked the Tang court again. Tang Xuanzong placed you in the Yinzhou and Xiazhou areas, and named your party members as Xiazhou Jiedushi. Five Dynasties In the Ten Kingdoms period, no matter who inherited the throne, your party members bowed their heads and bowed their heads. In the early years of the Song Dynasty, your party members were also my Han people’s subjects. So the first rule is to bow your heads and bow your heads. From now on, your party members will still be ours A courtier of the Han people." Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, we Dangxiang people are attached to the Han people. From now on, we will still be attached to the Han people." Li Qianming said hastily.

"The second thing, Xixia is a small country, and the lord of Xixia is not worthy to be called emperor. From now on, the lord of Xixia can only be called the king of Xixia." Zhao Chen said.

"What Your Majesty said is true, I will tell the King." Li Qianming said.

"Third, you Xixia party members rebelled and rebelled, and our Song court had to send a large army to the Northern Expedition! Because of the Northern Expedition, we consumed a lot, and your party members must compensate us! Tell Li Qianshun to prepare five million taels of gold and silver each. , to compensate our army." Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! The villain understands." Li Qianming said.

"Fourth, Ren Dejing's daughter, Ren Yuqin, is originally a Han Chinese, but she is a traitor and deserves to be punished for helping the barbarians defend the city. Tell Li Qianshun to bring Ren Yuqin's head to me. In addition, I heard that it is Li Cha Brother, Wei Ming Anhui and others instigated Li Qianshun to resist our army, so they were also sent to our army. Also, the Jurchen Wanyan Zonggan was in the Xingqing Mansion. .In addition, let Li Qianshun send the prince out of the city, and the prince will live in Hanzhong from now on. When Li Qianshun passes away, I will naturally send the prince back to Xixia and let him inherit the throne of Xixia." Zhao Chen said.

"Ah! But His Royal Highness is only seven years old now, and he may not be able to adapt to a strange place suddenly." Li Qianming said.

"Seven years old? That's not too young! The city of Kaifeng was destroyed that day, and I was only ten years old when I fled all the way! You tell Li Qianshun that his prince has arrived in Hanzhong, and I will not treat this little prince badly. Rely on him to control your party members." Zhao Chen sneered.

"The villain understands." Li Qianming's face was a little gloomy.

"Fifth, when Li Jiqian was the military envoy of the Song Dynasty, he rebelled brazenly and stole Lingzhou, Liangzhou, Xiayin, Suiyoujing and other states in the Song Dynasty. Now I have come to your Western Xia in person. The land will naturally be returned to my Great Song Dynasty. Let your Xixia king give orders to the party defenders and officials in these places, and from now on these places will belong to my Great Song Dynasty again." Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Li Qianming sighed softly and nodded.

Anyway, he is now a messenger, he is only responsible for listening and conveying, but he also understands that Li Qianshun will probably agree to these conditions. Now that the army of Song Dynasty is so strong, if you make up your mind, you will be able to take down Xingqing Mansion. In order to let the Song army retreat, Li Qianshun will definitely agree to all the conditions.

Li Qianming had already left, Zhao Chen and others stayed in the barracks, Yu Yunwen said: "Your Majesty, even if Xixia cedes various places, it will be difficult for us to rule these places now. These places are vast and far away, and they all need to be stationed. And our army Now that the troops are limited, it is difficult to separate many people to station them."

Zhao Chen said: "We don't need to keep many troops! Lingzhou is an important place, very close to Xingqing Mansion, and can be used to supervise party members. We can station 10,000 troops here! Liangzhou is also an important place in the northwest. The ancient city of my Han people was an important stronghold of the Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty, and it also needed 10,000 troops to be stationed here! As for other places, only one or two thousand troops are needed. A total of 30,000 soldiers are left. Well. Now the main force of Xixia has been wiped out by us, and countless people of Xixia have been driven to Guanshan by us, and they have no strength to resist at all."

Yu Yunwen thought about it for the same reason, and nodded immediately.

"Although this battle was not complete and did not completely destroy Xixia, Xixia has already been destroyed. From now on, Xixia will no longer be able to threaten my great Song Dynasty." Zhao Chen said.

The people next to him nodded one after another, with smiles on their faces involuntarily.

*** ***

On the morning of the first day of May, Li Qianming came to the city of Xingqing Mansion alone holding a white flag!

After the party officials above inquired about Li Qianming's identity, they immediately put down the rope and pulled Li Qianming up!

It was still raining non-stop, and Li Qianming was soaked all over his body. He had just arrived at the city wall, and several people were already coming towards him in the distance.

The leader was Xia Chongzong and Li Qianshun. Brother Li Cha and Wei Ming An Hui followed behind Brother Li Cha, and Jurchen Wanyan Zonggan also followed behind them. There is another woman at the end, and this woman is Ren Yuqin.

These people were also more or less wet! Although it was raining heavily, none of them dared to leave the city wall. No one knew when the Song army would attack again, so they could only stay here forever.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Li Qianshun coming, Li Qianming ran over crying and knelt down on the ground.

"Qianming, get up quickly!" Li Qianshun sighed.

Li Qianming had changed so much that Li Qianshun could hardly recognize Li Qianming. In fact, he himself has changed a lot. The Song army surrounded Xingqing Mansion, and he is now much thinner than before.

"Your Majesty, it's all bad for the ministers and brothers who offended the emperor of the Song Dynasty! In Guanshan that day, if I hadn't offended the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, he wouldn't have used troops against me in Xixia!" Li Qianming cried.

"What does this have to do with you? It is not your fault that the country has reached such a state...nor is it my fault! Since I came to the throne, I have worked diligently and never made a mistake...but Song Jun is still here! It can only be said that the Han people have become stronger! Every time the Han people become stronger, it is a disaster for us foreigners." Xia Chongzong and Li Qianshun smiled wryly.

"Yes, Your Majesty is right! Every time the Han people rise, it is the end of my foreign race. During the Han Dynasty, the Han people became strong for the first time. The Han general Huo Qubing began to lead the army at the age of seventeen. He led the Han army northward for two thousand years. Yu Li, crossed Lihou Mountain, crossed the Gonglu River, went deep into the grasslands and deserts, wiped out the 70,000 Xiongnu army, captured the Huns Tuntou King, Han Wang and other three people, and captured the Xiongnu General, Xiangguo, Danghu, and Duwei 80. Yu people chased and killed the Xiongnu all the way to Langjuxu Mountain, and the soldiers pointed directly at the vast sea. After this battle, the Xiongnu fled far away, and since then there was no royal court of the Huns in Mobei. In the Tang Dynasty, the Han people became stronger again. The Turks used troops, and then Xue Rengui and others used troops against the Turks. The Turks who once claimed to be "controlling millions of strings, and the prosperity of the Rong and Di, unprecedented in ancient and modern times" fell into a slump. Now we don't know where they went? We Xixia came from the Tang Dynasty. In the area of ​​Xiazhou, when the country was established in the early Song Dynasty, the number of soldiers and horses was strong, and there were nearly 500,000 people. However, in less than half a year, our main force was exhausted. The Han people surrounded the capital with 200,000 soldiers and horses, and we were helpless. The strength of the Han people After chasing the Han and Tang dynasties, the emperor of the Han came to the northwest in person, and his martial arts surpassed the previous emperors. It seems that the Han people have risen again." The Wei Ming Anhui next to him also sighed.

"I am not afraid of the Khitan, nor the Jurchens. They are small clans just like us, but they are only powerful for a while. The only thing I fear is the Han people. The Han people have a vast land, rich resources, a large population, and a prosperous civilization that lasts for thousands of years. I thought that After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the Han people lost their former bravery and were vulnerable to a single blow. Unexpectedly, the Han people suffered hardships and more than half of their land was invaded. At this time, they became brave again, and they once again had the bravery of the Han and Tang Dynasties. They With such a large population, so much wealth, and such advanced civilization, who is their opponent? We are afraid that we, Xixia, will perish." Xia Chongzong sighed long.

"Your Majesty... Emperor Song sent me to persuade His Majesty to surrender. As long as Your Majesty agrees to their conditions, the Song army will retreat." Li Qianming gritted his teeth and said.

ah!

At this moment Xia Chongzong stayed there, Wei Ming An Hui, Brother Li Cha and others also stayed there.

"What are the conditions?" Xia Chongzong asked in surprise.

"This...Your Majesty, it's really hard for me to say it. The conditions are too harsh." Li Qianming said.

"Let's talk quickly! As long as the country has hope of continuation, I can agree to any conditions." Xia Chongzong said.

"Okay!" Li Qianming began to speak.

He said the five conditions, and everyone was stunned again.

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! I am a Jurchen. I am invincible in the world. You must not send me to the hands of lowly Han people without authorization!" Wanyan Zongqian was the first to sneer.

But the rest of the people named An Hui, Brother Li Cha, Ren Yuqin and others were dumbfounded and did not speak.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Song said, let us agree to their conditions within three days. He said that they can't afford to wait. If they still don't get an answer after three days, they will attack the city again. At that time, they will spare no effort. Take down Xingqing Mansion. At that time, it will be the end of my Xixia." Li Qianming said.

"This...but such a harsh condition, how could I agree to it?" Xia Chongzong said.

"Your Majesty, agree to their conditions!" At this moment, An Hui, the Wei name next to him, sighed and said.

"Huh?" Xia Chongzong couldn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, after agreeing to their conditions, we, Xixia, still exist, we still have millions of people, we still have the Yinchuan Plain with abundant materials, and our Xixia can still develop continuously. Although the Han people have shown a strong Come on, but after all, Jurchen and Jiangnan are still there. We still have a chance to survive, and we can even unite with Jurchen and Jiangnan in the future." Weiming Anhui said.

Until now, they don't know the "second plan" implemented by Zhao Chen, and they don't know that half of the Yinchuan Plain has been destroyed. Countless towns and villages have been burned to ashes, and countless party members have been forced to go to Guanshan.

"But, Aiqing, he asked me to hand you over, General Li and others, how could I agree?" Xia Chongzong said.

"Your Majesty, for the survival of my Western Xia, this veteran is not afraid of death." Wei Ming An Hui said.

Brother Li Cha next to him opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"However, he still asked me to kill Concubine Ren, how is that possible?" Xia Chongzong said.

Ren Yuqin from behind looked at Xia Chongzong with a pale face, her body trembling slightly. She didn't know how Xia Chongzong would decide. In fact, she is not completely Han. Her father Ren Dejing is Han, but her mother is a standard party member, so she also has party member blood. It is very difficult for a pure Han Chinese to become an imperial concubine. She was able to become an imperial concubine, on the one hand because of her national beauty, and on the other hand because of her party blood.

"Your Majesty, for the future of our Western Xia, what is a woman?" At this moment, Li Ganming said sharply.

"You... What nonsense are you talking about? These days, I have also participated in the defense of the city! If it weren't for me, the Zhongxing Mansion would have already been conquered!" Ren Yuqin gritted her teeth.

"Hmph! For the future of my Western Xia, I can only sacrifice you!" Li Qianming sneered.

At this moment, he suddenly pulled out the sword from the waist of a soldier next to him, and slashed at Ren Yuqin! Although Ren Yuqin could be regarded as a strange woman in the world, she didn't have any martial arts. How could she be Li Qianming's opponent? With a scream, Ren Yuqin had already fallen into a pool of blood! There is no one around to stop Li Qianming! Even Li Qianshun, who said such hypocritical words just now, did not stop Li Qianming at this moment!

"Aifei!" Li Qianshun squatted down when Ren Yuqin fell down and his eyes were closed, hugging Ren Yuqin's body and crying bitterly.

"Your Majesty, make a decision early." Li Qianming said.

"Your Majesty, we are willing to die for Xi Xia!" Wei Ming Anhui said.

Li Cha's eyes were full of sadness at the moment, and he nodded slightly. He ruined 300,000 Xixia's main force, and he has long been unhappy. Now that the famous An Hui has said such words, he agrees.

"Hmph! I, Wanyan Zonggan, can't be betrayed by your party members!" Wanyan Zonggan snorted coldly, and ran away suddenly.

"Come on, stop him!" Xia Chongzong shouted loudly.

At that moment, the Xixia people on the city wall were all heading towards Wanyan Zongqian.

"Damn party members! I am a Jurchen nobleman. If you dare to stop me, you deserve death!" Wanyan Zongqian was so angry that he slashed at a Xixia man with a sword, and a Xixia man fell into a pool of blood. , but more Xixia people have been rushing towards him! After days and nights of fighting, the Xixia people's bloodiness has long been aroused, and they also moved forward desperately.

When the fifth Xixia man fell down, Wanyan Zonggan was also pushed to the ground by a group of Xixia men, and soldiers had already tied him up with ropes.
