Xingqing Mansion is shrouded in despair.
On the night of the 12th, the prince of Xixia died of severe injuries. Emperor Li Ganshun was too sad and angry. After repeated blows, he finally couldn't hold on and fell ill.
Brother Richard acted as a state affairs officer and convened all civil and military officials to discuss matters. He still had confidence in sticking to the capital.
In order to appease all officials, Richard analyzed the general trend of the world and the northwest war situation in detail. From the general trend of the world, the Jin Kingdom must regain Daibei, which is related to the survival of the Jin Kingdom. The Jurchens could not miss this opportunity; the Song Dynasty court fled to the southeast, and the Zhao family emperor planned to restore the country day and night, and the Song Dynasty would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty were very clear about the consequences of the defeat of the Great Xia, which would directly destroy the pattern of three parts of the world, so the two sides signed an alliance early and joined forces to attack Li Hu. Li Hu launched a Western Expedition without the conditions for internal and external difficulties, which just gave the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty the opportunity to attack Li Hu.
From the situation of the northwest war, on the surface, the Tiger Lie Army captured Karochuan and surrounded Xingqing Prefecture in just two months with a destruction. The situation was very good, but if you think about it carefully, there was a threat from the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty outside the Tiger Lie Army, and the internal money and food were even more serious. Li Hu was
After defeating the Jurchens, he immediately sent hundreds of thousands of main forces to fight westward. At the same time, he fought on three battlefields, Shuofang and Helanshan, and fought for two consecutive months. You can imagine how difficult Li Hu is in now. In fact, he is already at the end of his strength.
"The next month is crucial." Richard talked happily, showing a very calm and calm attitude. "As long as we firmly guard Xingqing Prefecture and attract hundreds of thousands of Tiger Martyrs' main forces to Helan Mountain, then in the Hexi direction, Renduobao Congress will take the opportunity to threaten Karochuan; in the Central Plains of Daibei and Central Earth, and in the southeast direction, the troops of the Jin and Song dynasties will launch a full-scale attack; in Chang'an, the huge manpower, material and financial resources required for the Western Expedition will crush their center, and the poor people may rebel and rebel because of Li Hu's slaughter and bribery, and the internal situation will further deteriorate."
"If nothing unexpected happens, one month later, around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Hu will definitely withdraw his troops, or partially withdraw his troops."
Brother Richard's tone was very certain. After his careful analysis and the conclusions drawn from it, the fear in these people's hearts was slightly relieved, and some even saw hope.
Then, Brother Richard's expression gradually became cold and he took responsibility for the current crisis
It was pushed to the group of Han officials led by Liang Qishen and Xue Yuanli. In addition, a group of pro-Han faction powerful people such as Li Anhui and Li Renzhong were also accused by Richard as rebels.
"If we take a positive attitude towards defense strategies, rather than a negative escape and peace talks, why would Daxia fall into such a dilemma today?"
All officials dared not respond. Now the emperor is sick, the prince is killed, and Brother Richard is in charge of power and can do whatever he wants. If he fights against him at this time, it is purely a search for death.
Brother Richard was calm in the face of danger and made a series of defensive arrangements and arranged his confidants to take charge at each city gate. Ayabu's lesson was too profound, and his betrayal directly pushed the Great Xia Kingdom into the abyss of defeat. Therefore, Brother Richard is now careful and careful, and dare not make any mistakes.
"Whoever conspires to rebel and understands the enemy inside and outside will be killed without mercy."

On the 13th, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army began to attack the city, attacking at the same time from four directions, and the offensive was extremely fierce.
The Xia army fought to the death, and the battle lasted from morning to dusk, and the battle was very fierce.
That night, the Emperor of Xia State issued a letter to Li Hu and took the initiative to request peace talks. The peace talks were still Li Renli and Zhao Wenya, and the conditions for peace talks had been reduced. They only required to take the existing army to retreat to Hexi and no longer migrate to the Dangxiang tribes in the Xia area.
"The purpose of your emperor is not to negotiate peace, but to drag me to Helan Mountain." After hearing Li Renli's words, Li Hu sneered, "Did Brother Richard tell your emperor that I am in a difficult situation at the moment and that I can only hold on for another month, and the general trend of the world will change. The Jurchens and the rebels in the southeast will inevitably attack me, Li Hu, and I will inevitably withdraw my troops, right?"
Li Renli did not show any weakness and asked, "Since the tiger king knows that he is in a difficult situation, why should he stick to his own opinions and act alone?"
"As long as you surrender, all problems can be solved." Li Hu said coldly, "Don't play this trick with me, either surrender or wait for me to kill into the city."
"Does the Tiger King think he will be able to conquer my capital within one month
"Li Renli was scared and his tone became weak involuntarily. "Don't the Tiger King think about it, if the Jurchens and the Song people joined forces to attack the Central Plains, how can you stop them? How long can the wealth in the Chang'an National Treasury last for hundreds of thousands of troops to fight continuously?"
Li Hu was furious and slapped the table with a palm, "Drag it down and chop it."
Several tiger guards rushed over, threw Li Renli down, and ran away. Li Renli was shocked and howled at the top of his throat, "The two countries will be intersected and will be sent to the envoy..."
Li Huli ignored him and turned to look at Zhao Wenya. Zhao Wenya's face was as usual, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. Li Hu was just to scare Li Renli, and the purpose was to find an opportunity to discuss with Zhao Wenya alone. If Li Renli was really chopped down, it would be harmful to Zhao Wenya's series of actions in Xingqing Mansion. Zhao Wenya knew it very well, so she did not dissuade him. When Huwei dragged Li Renli out, she bowed to Li Hu and said, "This person cannot be killed now, please give him a thin face."
Of course, Li Hu wanted to give him face. If he wanted to take down Xingqing Mansion as soon as possible, it would depend on whether Zhao Wenya, the inner supporter, could play a role.
Zhao Wenya
What happened in Xingqing Mansion in the past two days was roughly explained. Li Qianshun suffered too much, was discouraged, completely gave up, and let Brother Richard do whatever he wanted. "I heard from the imperial physician that Li Qianshun refused to take medicine and had no business. A few years ago, his empress, Princess Cheng'an, was buried in the Daliao and hanged herself. Today, his son died in the battlefield again, and his relatives left one after another. This is the most painful thing in the world. When Li Qianshun was in power, he was ambitious and vigorously promoted Confucianism.
The Han system was implemented, but the fierce conflicts between Han and Body made his reforms repeatedly frustrated. Now Xue Yuanli, Gao Shouzhong and other Han ministers were killed by Richard Brother. Li Anhui, Li Renzhong, Liang Qishen and other Han ministers also passed away one after another. He was alone and had nothing except for his pain. Nothing more than his heart was to die. Li Qianshun's heart was dead. He was just a walking corpse and could no longer lead the Dangxiang people to turn the tide and collapse."
Li Hu thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "How long can he live?"
Zhao Wenya was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Li Hu meant. If Li Ganshun died, what would happen to Xingqing Prefecture? Although the Great Xia Kingdom was about to overthrow, and inheriting the imperial throne would take huge risks at this time, how many people in this world can see through the world? People die for money and birds die for food, let alone the throne of an emperor? At that time, Brother Richard can still control the situation?
Zhao Wenya's heartbeats violently, her face is pale, and her eyes are filled with deep fear. This kind of thing is to say, it is a regicide. Once it is leaked, it will not only be killed, but also bear the bad reputation of generations.
"This is actually very simple." Li Hu smiled, "As long as you use your brain, you can use the greed of some people to kill people with a knife, and then blame Brother Richard. In this chaos in Xingqing Mansion, you can get three goals in one fell swoop."
Zhao Wenya's eyebrows were slightly raised, and suddenly she thought of something, her eyes lit up, and then a light blush appeared on her handsome face, looking extremely excited, as if she had found a way to blame someone for murder.
Li Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, and Zhao Wenya's expression changes fell into his eyes. He knew that this matter was almost the same and his mood was relieved. It can be imagined that Li Ganshun's sudden death at this moment was no less than a bolt from the blue for Xingqing Prefecture. The huge impact it produced was enough to destroy the reign of the Great Xia Kingdom.
"How are the rumors spreading?"
"Although rumors are flying all over the sky, the emperor is still there. Brother Richard still controls tens of thousands of troops, and his role is limited." Zhao Wenya said, "I have been in private these two days and
Renduo, Mouning, and several major tribes of the Liang clan came into contact with each other and told them about the conditions for the Tiger King’s surrender.”
"What's the result?" Li Hu asked hurriedly.
Zhao Wenya raised her hand and pointed outside the tent, "Hundreds of thousands of tiger brigades surrounded the capital, Xingqing Mansion was in danger, is it necessary to say the result?"
Li Hu laughed, "You can tell them when you go back this time that I will agree to all the reasonable requests they have made, but the condition is that they must surrender as soon as possible, the sooner the better. If I am allowed to conquer the city, it will be too late and nothing will be left."
Li Hu had a smile on his face, but a sharp murderous aura gushed out. Zhao Wenya changed her color in horror and broke out in a cold sweat.

The attack of the Tiger Lieutenant Army day after day, the offensive became more and more fierce. As the subsequent troops and civilians of the Food Shooting Army arrived at Helan Mountain one after another, the heavy siege equipment was transported to the city. Then, the roar of the sky-shaking thunder rushed straight into the sky, and the loud sound shocked the sky. Xingqing Mansion trembled in the huge explosion, and was covered in blood.
The great military achievements that Richard Richard has built over the past twenty years have brought him high prestige. At the critical moment of life and death in Daxia, the Dangxiang people, Han people, Tubo people, Tatars and Uighurs all placed their last hope on him, and this hero of Daxia also took on the important task of defending the country. He led the military and civilians of Kyoto to fight day and night, turning the tide with his passion and life.
However, Xingqing Prefecture was undercurrent, and the Han and foreign powers began to plan a way out for their own interests, and their first choice was to surrender. If they wanted to surrender, they would kill Richard, who was determined to fight, and a conspiracy against Richard quietly began.
Emperor Li Ganshun refused to take medicine and worsened his condition. On the 22nd day, his condition suddenly worsened, and he vomited blood and was dying.
When Brother Richard heard the news, he was shocked and rushed to the palace.
Since the death of the prince, Li Gan refused to see Brother Richard, and the two brothers turned against each other. Now Li Ganshun is no longer able, and Brother Richard rushed to his brother's bed regardless of everything and cried bitterly. Brother Richard regretted that if he had known this, he would not have insisted on his defensive strategy. Although retreating to Hexi would make Daxia fall rapidly, it would not be
The country will be defeated instantly due to internal strife. Brother Richard is too confident and too conceited, and the result is as good as it wishes, and it is too late to regret it.
Perhaps it was Li Cha's tears and repentance that moved Li Ganshun. On his dying day, he summoned the prime minister and decided to pass the throne to Ri Cha.
