"Go down!"

Li Wangyuan couldn't wait to urge the soldiers who controlled the hot air balloon.

However, the old turtle carried Wude and music and danced, and went south along the torrent.

The turtle's back undulated, and soon it was getting farther and farther away from Chongqing Mansion.

Only one sentence floated into the air, "The people in the city have asked the Emperor of Western Xia." ”

The sound is like the sound of the Buddha singing, not loud, but it rings straight in the hearts of everyone.

Li Wangyuan was stunned and slightly distracted.

Immediately, he waved his hand with some interest, "Go and fall in the city!" ”

He naturally planned to chase after the unsuccessful monk, but at this moment, he understood that he was whimsical.

If a living Buddha does not have such a holy monk, it is unlikely that he will serve any country. After all, not every Buddhist monk pursued Buddhist luck like the national teacher of the Yuan Dynasty.

What's more, the living Buddha is still a wandering monk. This is even less likely.

The fact that the living Buddha avoided it was already a wordless rejection.

The old turtle quietly disappeared.

Li Wangyuan led the hot air balloon in front of him to land close to the inner city.

At this point, the Western Xia army got its wish, not only survived the catastrophe, but also took the entire Chongqing Mansion without any effort.

The White Horse Army that went out of the city was gone, and they didn't think about turning back at all, and went directly to Tongchuan Mansion.

It wasn't until late at night that the rain stopped.

Chongqing Mansion has several inches of water accumulation, which looks very messy. But this little bit of water naturally did not cause any disaster in the city.

The people ran in the water that reached the calf bones, and after escaping death, they had palpitations, and those who went out of the city went out of the city, and those who went home went home.

No one knows whether Chongqing will continue to spread the war in the north, and no one wants to stay here if they can leave.

After Li Wangyuan saw the frightened Western Xia soldiers, he actually asked them to help the people in the city repair their houses. This surprised countless people.

It's just that Helian Cheng and the others were also emotional after seeing that they couldn't be the Hongfeng, and no one spoke out against it.

Everyone was raised by their father's mother.

Although this Kuizhou cannot be said to be the land of Western Xia now, the people here are also ordinary people.

Chongqing Prefecture soon began to rebuild after the disaster.

This surprised the people in the city, and their impression of the "invaders" of the Western Xia soldiers changed a lot. After all, even the White Horse Army, who was supposed to help them, was no longer visible.

The gap is made up of this comparison.

In the middle of the night, Li Wangyuan and the military generals of the Western Xia Dynasty were finally able to enter the Chongqing Mansion.

Zhongsun Qifu struggled out of the horror of the flood, and now his mood gradually calmed down, and his face was full of joy.

Originally, this flood was a catastrophe for them, but the appearance of the Buddha in the world did not make this flood a blessing for them.

If they just rushed to kill with soldiers, if they wanted to take the entire Chongqing Mansion, they would inevitably have to spend a lot of money.

There was an uncontrollable smile on the face of the general, "Your Majesty, this Kuizhou will be our Kuizhou in Western Xia in the future." ”

These generals fought on the battlefield with their soldiers, and they really felt that Kuizhou was not easy to come by, and they had to be more happy.

Then, Li Wangyuan frowned slightly, and said softly: "Everyone, I still plan to give up Kuizhou Road to the Song Dynasty in exchange for Xiushu." ”

Everyone was shocked by this, and the smile on their faces gradually froze.

Helian Cheng said eagerly: "Your Majesty, why is this? We paid such a big price to take Kuizhou, why did we give it to the Song Dynasty? ”

"If you take it, can you keep it?"

Li Wangyuan smiled slightly bitterly and said: "I have a good understanding of the domestic situation these days, and at present, the strength of our Western Xia is the weakest and the foundation is the shallowest in the four countries of the Central Plains. Occupy Kuizhou, Shuzhong and even the Great Song Dynasty may send troops to attack after relieving their breath, and whether we can defend Kuizhou or not, the people of Kuizhou will inevitably be displaced. The living Buddha has no power to block the flood peak, only for the military and people of Chongqing, how can I let the people of Kuizhou suffer for the selfish desire to dominate the world in my heart? ”

He waved his hand, "I want the world, but what I want is a world where the people can live in peace." Now there are still many people in the country who are hungry, let's first let the domestic people be able to eat a full meal, and then think about competing for the world! The people can't eat enough, and even if they get the world, they won't be able to last long. ”

He obviously figured out something after seeing the unstoppable flood peak.

When Zhongsun Qifu and others heard Li Wangyuan's words, many people showed thoughtful expressions.

Helian Cheng's face turned red, "Your Majesty, even if we want to let the country and the people be safe, we don't have to give up the city we have in our hands, right?" ”

Li Wangyuan only said: "Kuizhou is likely to become the place where our dynasty will develop, but it may also become a place where countless soldiers of our dynasty will sink into the sand." General Helian, are you sure that you can hold this Kuizhou with the Great Song Dynasty in the east and Shuzhong in the west? If you are so sure, I will hand over this Kuizhou to you, how about it? ”

Helian was speechless.

It is true that he is the leader of the Qingzhuang faction in the army, but he does not dare to say that he is sure that he can hold the entire Kuizhou.

Before, the Manchu dynasty wanted to occupy Kuizhou, but it was the defeat of Zhongzhou that held back his bad breath and did not vomit or be unhappy. Secondly, it is also a fluke to be able to hold Kuizhou.

Western Xia survived in the cracks of the Yuan Dynasty's control all the year round, and was too desperate to get more land. Everyone enjoys the sense of accomplishment.

And Li Wangyuan's words at this time were like a slap in the face.

Many people are coming to their senses.

How strong the strength is, how big the market, the current Western Xia, I'm afraid it is really not enough to have the spare strength to defend Kuizhou. It can be said that the hope of successfully occupying Kuizhou is no more than 30%.

In the past, anyone could ignore this problem, but now Li Wangyuan no longer uses Li Xiushu to talk about things, and mentions it directly, so that no one can pretend to be stupid anymore.

Li Wangyuan said again: "When we are strong in the country, it is the most appropriate time to take Kuizhou and conquer the world." Now that the Song and Yuan Dynasty are discussing peace, they are undoubtedly holding such thoughts, perhaps the Song Dynasty will not attack Kuizhou with all its troops. But Dali alone is enough to consume a lot of our energy. ”

His eyes swept over everyone, "In my opinion, giving up this hot land to the Song Dynasty is the most correct choice for our dynasty." At the same time, I can also exchange it for Princess Xiushu, which is my wish. ”

Indeed, with the current strength of Western Xia, it is difficult to develop Kuizhou. Even, if you want to hold Kuizhou, you will have to pay a great price, and you may not be able to hold it.

National development is not just about how much land is laid.

The Yuan Dynasty has not been able to make the people of the old land of the Great Song Dynasty return to their hearts for decades, how long will it take for the Western Xia to make the entire Kuizhou truly belong to the Western Xia?

Zhongsun Qifu sighed softly, "Your Majesty, it's the old minister who is in a bit of a hurry. ”

His eyes swept over everyone, "Our Western Xia has just returned to the country, and the foundation is unstable, so we should really defend it first, and then try to forge ahead."

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhongsun Qifu's words were actually more useful in Western Xia than Li Wangyuan's. When he said this, someone immediately nodded.

Occupying Kuizhou is an opportunity. But this opportunity, but it is also dangerous, it is likely to become a quagmire land, and Xixia will be completely dragged to death.

Li Wangyuan was slightly happy in his heart, "Then let's send an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

What he said before said was for the country, but in fact, it was more for his sister Li Xiushu.

Seeing the moment when the monk forgot to die and reached the flood, Li Wangyuan's mental journey was actually very complicated, and it could be said to be ups and downs.

There is no living Buddha for the people who don't know each other in Chongqing Mansion can not care about their own lives, and they actually want to give up their sister for the so-called overlord?

When Yongmu was proclaimed emperor, Li Wangyuan felt the beauty of imperial power. But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that imperial power is like that. It's wonderful, but if no one shares it, it's boring.

Although there were still some of the ministers in Western Xia who were unwilling to give up Kuizhou, most of them nodded slightly.

They don't care if Li Xiushu can come back, but they can't care if Xixia, the land of Kuizhou, can hold it.

After Li Wangyuan's words, few people continued to immerse themselves in the imperial dream and gradually regained their composure.

Guarding every inch of land will make the Western Xia soldiers pay for it.

On this night, carrier pigeons flew north in Chongqing. Not surprisingly, the carrier pigeon will first go to Lizhou East Road, and then to Jinghu South Road.

Although this is a different story, there is no doubt that the speed of a carrier pigeon will be much faster than that of a fast horse.
