Time passed little by little, Xixia never had the intention of surrendering, on the head of the city, Brother Richard looked at it resolutely, Xixia can perish, but will never surrender, the ancestors of Xixia will not surrender to the Song Dynasty, this is the case when the country is founded, and the same is true when the country is destroyed, he would rather die than shame his ancestors.

In the distance, the three huge trebuchets of the Song army have rumbled towards the palace, and Richard knew that these three trebuchets would throw countless fire oil into the palace and completely burn the palace, perhaps this was what he hoped for, so that Western Xia would live forever in the flames.

At this moment, a eunuch ran over and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Zongmiao for the last farewell!" ”

This is the last time you have to go and sacrifice your ancestors and ancestors.

Brother Richard nodded, walked quickly to the city, and walked briskly towards the main hall of the Zongmiao with a dozen personal soldiers, and the front of the main hall was full of guards. There was a melodious sound of bells inside, as if some kind of ritual was being performed.

Brother Richard waved his hand to stop his soldiers, he tidied up his clothes and hat, and walked quickly to the main hall.

But as soon as Brother Richard walked into the main hall, the door behind him slammed shut, he suddenly felt bad, turned around and pulled out his sword, but only felt a sharp pain in his back, more than a dozen arrows shot through his back, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Brother Richard slowly turned around, only to see more than a dozen members of the Li royal family appear in front of him, glaring at him one by one.

"Is that you?" Brother Richard was extremely shocked in his heart, the person who killed him turned out to be his own clan.

Li Renzong stepped forward step by step with a sword in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to die, let us follow the burial, we have to let you die first." “

Brother Richard shook his head slowly, "You are ashamed of the ancestors of Western Xia!" ”

"You go to die!"

Li Renzong stabbed Richard through Richard's chest with a sword, and Richard slowly fell, finally dying at the hands of his own people.

Li Renzong touched Brother Richard's snort, nodded to more than a dozen clansmen, and everyone walked quickly to the inside of the temple, and walked to a hut, Li Renzong said: "Your Majesty, Brother Richard has been killed, and everyone hopes to surrender and save the Miao descendants of the Western Xia lineage." ”

"I don't have any opinions, whatever you want!" Li Qianshun's deep voice came from the room.

Everyone turned around and walked briskly outside the temple, "Your Majesty has a will, lay down your arms and surrender!" Your Majesty has a will, lay down your arms and surrender! ”

At this time, a ray of light shone into the room, and there was no longer a Xixia Zi in the room, only a monk who had become a monk.

..........

In late May of the third year of Jianyan, Li Yanqing led an army of 80,000 to conquer Xingqingfu, the capital of Western Xia, the Western Xia royal family surrendered to Li Yanqing under the leadership of Li Renzong, the son of heaven Li Qianshun has become a monk, bid farewell to the throne before the fall of Western Xia, with the melodious bell ringing in the city, the Western Xia Kingdom of the founding of the country for a hundred years finally came to an end, and perished under the attack of the Song army.

Although the Western Xia was destroyed, but the war was still going on, Li Yanqing immediately divided the troops into four routes, rushed to all parts of the Western Xia to exterminate the embers of the Western Xia, and he ordered Liu Ziyu and Gao Zhong to lead 20,000 troops and 500 warships to the north to conquer the Hetao, where there were still 5,000 Western Xia troops, and at the same time to secretly complete the arms transaction with the four divisions of Mobei, with 100,000 sets of armor in exchange for 5 million cattle and sheep.

At the beginning of June, Li Yungui, a member of the Western Xia clan who was guarding the Hetao, heard the news of the destruction of the Western Xia, so he led 5,000 troops to abandon the Hetao and flee eastward, going to Datong Mansion to join the Jin soldiers.

Three days later, 20,000 Song troops arrived at the Hetao and occupied the last piece of land in Western Xia.

At this time, thousands of herders drove five million cattle and sheep to the grassland north of the Hetao.

．．．．．．．

These days, Li Yanqing is extremely busy, first in the whole city of Xingqing Mansion for three days of martial law, searching for soldiers and generals who have slipped through the net, and when the fish that have slipped through the net are almost cleaned up, Li Yanqing appointed Yang Zhaohe as the general judge of Xingzhou, and began to make a list to calm the people and restore order.

The next step was to intensively clean up the grain and grass of the Western Xia treasury, as well as verify various assets and land, and confiscate all the property and land belonging to the Western Xia royal family and princes and nobles, and draw a standard, for the middle and lower level officials of the Western Xia, if the family property is below this standard, the Song army will not confiscate it.

Early that morning, Yang Zhaohe rushed to see Li Yanqing.

"Yang Tongju can still adapt to his new position!"

"Humble thanks are all reused, although there are a lot of things, but they can still be dealt with, but there was an incident last night, and the lower officials were very embarrassed."

"What's the matter?"

Yang Zhaohe said with a face full of anger: "Last night, more than a dozen soldiers got drunk and broke into a Western Xia official's house, forcibly asked for money, and asked for *** women, Xia Guan brought someone to arrive in time to stop them, but they were annoyed and angry, and beat Xia Guan and several of his subordinates violently, and left, this matter has spread, and the Western Xia officials dare not speak out." ”

Li Yanqing was furious, slapped the table and ordered the soldiers to say, "Go and find Wang Gui and Liu Jian for me!" “

The soldiers rushed away, Li Yanqing was annoyed, and paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands in his hands, he had repeatedly emphasized military discipline, but this kind of thing still happened, after the destruction of the country, he first needed political stability, psychologically dismantled the resistance of the Tangut people to the Song Dynasty, and then gradually let them accept the reality, after a long time, everyone gradually forgot about the Xixia.

It's just that at this time, his soldiers make this kind of thing, forcibly ask for money, and ask for *** women, which makes people unbearable, which will harm their own big things.

Not long after, Wang Gui and Liu Jian hurriedly walked into the big tent and bowed down, "See Dutong!" ”

Li Yanqing slapped the table, "Whose army was on duty in the city last night?" ”

The army did not take a holiday, apparently by the soldiers on duty.

Wang Gui didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly said, "Yesterday was a lowly subordinate on duty. ”

Li Yanqing said to Yang Zhaofang: "You tell him!" ”

Yang Zhaoyi recounted what happened last night, and Wang Gui was also shocked, drinking alcohol while on duty was already a serious violation of military discipline, and he also went to the door to rob money and humiliate people, this is a capital crime!

He was suddenly sweating profusely, "I will investigate the lowly position, and I will be severely punished according to military regulations." ”

Li Yanqing said to Wang Gui again: "Take Yang Tongju to recognize people together, and you have to make an example of one hundred, and you are not allowed to have a second time." ”

"Humble duty understands!"

Wang Gui saluted and hurriedly left with Yang Zhaofang.

At this time, Liu Jian hesitated and said: "There is a saying, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

"That's it!"

"Dutong, there have been some rumors in the army recently, saying that Dutong treats the Western Xia nobles too leniently and has no feeling of destroying the country."

Li Yanqing had also heard of these rumors, and when he heard Liu Jian mention this matter again, he couldn't help but sneer, "What does their destruction of the country look like, let me relax my military discipline and let them burn and kill adultery in Xingqing Mansion?" “

Liu Jian sighed, "People died for wealth and destroyed Western Xia, but the brothers did not get any benefits, and it is inevitable to complain." ”

"I'm ready for their benefits!"

Li Yanqing said lightly: "Fifty sheep per person, after they are transported to Jingzhao Mansion, they will be delivered to their homes one by one, so that their whole family will be happy." ”

Liu Jian understood, "These sheep are the sheep that were exchanged for several major tribes in Mobei!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Do you think I didn't think about giving benefits to the soldiers?" Why did the Western Xia destroy the country, wasn't it because the national strength was weak and could not support the war before it was finally defeated? You have also seen the treasury of Western Xia, it is empty, less than 200,000 taels of gold, less than a million taels of silver, all kinds of cloth and silk are gone, only a million sheepskins have been seized, what shall I give to the soldiers? “

After a moment of silence, Liu Jian said again: "At the beginning, Dutong wanted to kill the Western Xia royal family, but in the end, he let them go!" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head and said: "Things are not as simple as we thought, I just got news from Western Xia, it was their envoy in Lin'an who sent a message, and the Son of Heaven has issued an order to ask the Song army to immediately stop attacking Western Xia, and the two sides will negotiate to end the war." “

Liu Jian was taken aback, "Is this news true?" ”

"It should be true, the will of the Son of Heaven can only be said to be forced to be helpless, in fact, I can also guess that the Emperor Taishang and his henchmen used various methods to exert pressure, and the fundamental point is one, the Great Song Dynasty was in danger of being destroyed, and he endured to destroy other countries, without benevolence and righteousness, this one is very powerful! If I lose the brand of benevolence and righteousness, the position of the official family will be unstable, and I, Li Yanqing, will also be put on the moral judgment seat, so I think twice, try to kill as little as possible, and can't let the Emperor Taishang and others seize the handle of our brutal killing, this is the political struggle, everyone is flaunting themselves with benevolence and righteousness, and desperately looking for the other party not to talk about benevolence and righteousness, at this time, we can only destroy the country but not slaughter the country. “

Liu Jian suddenly realized, and he realized that Dutong had good intentions.

At this time, a personal soldier reported outside the tent, "Qiyu Dutong, General Wang Gui has caught the twelve soldiers who drank and made trouble last night, the situation is true, General Wang, how to deal with it?" ”

"Slash!"

Li Yanqing coldly ordered: "Use their heads to show the public!" ”
