Liu Yanqing suddenly succumbed to Lotte, which surprised everyone in the handsome account, but thinking about it carefully, it was everyone's expectation, Liu Yanqing can be against Lotte, but he must not underestimate the people who are officials in the world. et

In the words of later generations, Liu Yanqing is afraid of the public opinion of the people who are officials in the world, especially those sharp-tongued officials, these people are the mainstays of the future dynasty, if the Liang Zi who is married to Lotte today is too big, I am afraid that even his son's future career will be affected.

After being soft, Liu Yanqing immediately changed the smile on his original face to a cold color, and said: "But this condition of Leshu, forgive Liu for not being able to obey, and quit!" ”

After saying that, Liu Yanqing took his son Liu Guangshi to get up and leave, and before leaving the handsome tent, Liu Guangshi turned around and stared at Lotte fiercely, his eyes full of anger and resentment.

Seeing Liu Guangshi's gaze, Lotte couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then heard Liu Yanqing's voice outside: "The three Jingliu adults can rest assured, although Liu does not agree with Leshu's conditions, he will hold his position in the east of Xingqing Mansion, and will not let the Xia army get away from the east of the city." ”

After speaking, Liu Yanqing left with a group of subordinates.

"Don't get away with a soldier?" Hearing this, Lotte couldn't help but squint his eyes and sneered.

Looking at Liu Yanqing's figure outside the tent, Liu Zhongwu said: "Although Liu Yanqing does not participate in this meeting, the three of us will participate, and we are willing to hand over the command of the three-way soldiers and horses to Leshu, and please tell Leshu the strategy of attacking the city!" ”

Lotte no longer hidden, and said: "Le's siege strategy is very simple, do the three marshals remember the fact that our army burned the summer camp and robbed the camp before?" ”

Liu Zhongwu immediately understood: "The meaning of the book is to attack Xingqing Mansion? ”

The master nodded: "Our army has surrounded Xingqing Mansion, regardless of the southeast and northwest winds, it can be used by me, a fire broke out in the city, especially the fire in the Xia people's palace, the Xia army will go all out to rescue, our army will take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and it will be overcome!" ”

Hearing Lotte's opinion, Liu Fa's eyes were full of excitement: "The old man didn't have the opportunity to see the summer camp this time, and he will have to appreciate it this time!" ”

Lotte didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "It's not just as simple as burning Xia Ren, this time the lower officials will bomb Xingqing Mansion!" ”

"Bombing Xingqing Mansion?" After listening to Lotte's words, the three of them, Liu Fa, and Liu Yanqing, looked at each other, all puzzled.

"The principle is very simple!" Seeing the puzzled look on the faces of the three people, Lotte smiled: "Just replace the oil and cotton of the prayer lamp with gunpowder......"

Hearing this, the seed master Dao and Liu Zhongwu immediately became confused, and it was very good that only Liu Fa was puzzled.

……

After returning to the camp set up in the east of Xingqing Mansion, Liu Guangshi said hatefully: "Nale Xiao'er is really useless, why should my father let him, wouldn't my father's prestige fall!" ”

"If you weren't so reckless, how could you be a father and give in to Nale Xiao'er!" For his son Liu Guangshi's words, Liu Yanqing was also angry, "Nale Xiao'er is an official, and his classmates are all eight or nine petty officials at this time, it can be said that he has been taken care of by Nale Xiaoer, that is, Le Xiaoer's classmates who have not ascended to the top, and they will inevitably have to be attached to him after he becomes a younger brother in the future, and it is useless for his father to be old, if you are an official in the future, how can Le Xiaoer and his classmates be convenient for you?" ”

"It's the son who is not filial!" Hearing Liu Yanqing explain the reason, Liu Guangshi hurriedly bowed and said: "But Nale is a child......

"Don't talk about it!" Liu Yanqing waved his hand to interrupt his son's words, his eyes narrowed: "Being a father can't help him, but Tong Shuai must be able to help him......"

Liu Guangshi's eyes showed a look of pride: "What my father said is good, what this Le Xiaoer does can be said to be against Tong Shuai everywhere, don't let my father and son do it, Tong Shuai will find his bad luck, my father and son just need to wait and see what happens......"

Thinking of the situation when he apologized to Lotte just now, Liu Yanqing's eyes became more and more hateful, and he gritted his teeth and said: "For my father, I want to see what plan Le Xiao'er has to break Xingqing Mansion, if it can't be broken, my father will send him a heavy copy to the court!" ”

……

140,000 Song troops surrounded Xingqing Mansion, although the officials of the Western Xia court were not in a hurry, but the soldiers in Xingqing Mansion were really nervous, but after two days, I saw that the Song army launched several tentative attacks every day, and did not see any substantive actions of the Song army, and slowly relaxed.

In the eyes of the officials of the Western Xia court, the Song army's rhythmic attack was for the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and when the army did not have much food left, the Song army would naturally retreat.

Agriculture and animal husbandry are relatively developed in the area around Xingqing Province, and the relatively stable diversion of water from the Yellow River for irrigation agriculture can ensure the food for the military and people in Xingqing Province and nearby cities. In addition to the original Tang Lai, Hanyuan ancient canal and other irrigation benefits, Yuan Haoshi also built the "Haowang Canal" at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, which is more than 200 miles long, so that the agricultural and animal husbandry production in the suburbs of Xingqing Mansion has been further developed, and it has become one of the grain bases and important pastures in Xixia.

When the Song army occupied Yongzhou, the Western Xia began to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness, hoarding all the grain that could be taken away from the city in Xingqing Mansion, burning it together, together with the people outside the city and the livestock of the people were also driven into Xingqing Mansion, the people were used as soldiers, and the people's livestock were slaughtered and made into pickled meat and dried meat as military food and non-staple food, so as not to leave a little food for the Song army.

This move was undoubtedly beneficial to the Western Xia, but it was undoubtedly a disaster for the people of the Western Xia, making the Western Xia people who were forced to move into Xingqing Mansion miserable, and there were many dissatisfaction with the Xia court.

On the third day of the Song army's siege of Xingqing Mansion, the northwest wind blew.

Looking at the flag waving against the northwest wind, Liu Zhongwu said with a smile: "Different from the second attack on the camp of the Xia army, this time, the time is favorable, the place is favorable, and the people are all in the hands of our army!" ”

Seed Master Dao shook his head: "Brother Liu, if you talk about people, it's still a little worse, such as the one in the east!" ”

"Those who have no stomach, only know how to pat the horse, and are jealous of the virtuous, are really the scum of the world." Liu Fa was disdainful.

The seed master asked, "Leshu, I don't know when you started to attack?" ”

"At night, we can see the fire in Xingqing Mansion clearly, and we can determine where our army is attacking from!" Lotte said, and after the voice fell, he asked, "What do the four elders think?" ”

"Now the four of us old guys are under the command of your music book, when do you say it will start!" Hearing this, the seed master Dao and the others all smiled.

Then Lotte advised: "Let the sergeants put away the camp tent, so that no prayer lamp will fall on their camp!" ”

After two days of preparation, it was easy to set up tens of thousands of prayer lamps while the soldiers were recuperating and resting.

……

On the third day of the siege of Xingqing Mansion, the Song army still feinted, and after nightfall, in addition to taking turns to guard the head of the city, most of the Xia army fell asleep after dinner.

At midnight, when most of the people in Xingqing Mansion entered the dream, countless prayer lamps rose from the northwest direction of Xingqing Mansion City, and then floated to Xingqing Mansion in the direction of the northwest wind.

"Heavenly fire, heavenly fire ......"

The soldiers guarding Xingqing Mansion, some of whom had fled back from outside Shunzhou City, immediately felt fearless when they saw the prayer lamps floating in the sky, and they couldn't help but shout.

Only a small part of these defeated soldiers who fled from outside the city of Shunzhou came to Xingqing Mansion, and most of them had already scattered back to their homes, and in this small part they were assigned to different battalions, and even fewer were on duty at the head of Xingqing Mansion at night.

Xia Jun, who had never experienced the robbery of the camp by the Song army, looked at the lanterns floating in the sky very well, and couldn't help asking: "What is Tianhuo?" ”

At this time, those soldiers who had experienced the robbery of the camp by the Song army did not care about explanation, and shouted: "Let everyone get up quickly, it will be troublesome for the fire to fall into the city these days......"

However, while those soldiers were still shouting loudly, they saw that the prayer lamps that floated to the empty space of Xingqing Mansion suddenly turned into a ball of fire and fell, and landed in the house of Xingqing Mansion, as if burning......

Rumble! Rumble......

Some of these prayer lamps turned into a ball of fire and fell down, and some of the prayer lamps turned into a ball of fire, and there was something black that sparked and fell from the sky, and after falling to the ground, it turned into a thunderbolt and exploded, and the continuous loud noise immediately spread throughout the entire Xingqing Mansion.

"The show has officially begun!" Looking at the fire burning in Xingqing Mansion and the continuous explosions, Liu Zhongwu's face was full of smiles.

The master Dao also stroked his long beard with his hand, and said with a smile: "Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, is good at strategy, and has even created wooden oxen and horses to transport military food......

"What my brother said is true, from tomorrow onwards, there will be no more Xia Kingdom in this world, or the Great Gao Bai Country that the Xia people call themselves!" The planter said, and then said: "Grandfather and his old man were determined to destroy the summer, and your uncles are also waiting to fight on the battlefield to succeed each other, and I don't know how many people who plant the horse leather shroud, and today's long-cherished wish can be regarded as the realization of my two brothers, and after the war, I will return to Chang'an to worship my ancestors, and it is enough to comfort my grandfather and father and uncle's soul in the sky!" ”

"What Duan Ru said is extremely true!" The seed master nodded, and then turned his eyes to Lotte, and said very solemnly: "Leshu, aside from personal relationships, destroying summer is the wish of my family for several generations, and now it can be realized in the hands of my two brothers, thanks to Leshu, and please ......accept my two brothers' worship."

After speaking, the planter and the planter had to salute.

Seeing this, Lotte hurriedly hid aside and refused to accept the salute: "The two bosses have tormented the lower officials, after the failure of the five-way summer war, my Great Song Dynasty has taken a step-by-step strategy to encroach on Hengshan step by step, and my Great Song Dynasty can have today's situation, it has gone through the power of three dynasties, and how can the lower officials be greedy for merit." ”

After the words of the two Shuai Dao brothers and Lotte fell for a long time, Liu Fa said with a smile: "What if Zhuge has the talent to pass through the heavens and the latitude of the earth, Shu Han is not dead, but Leshu has destroyed the Xia Kingdom, so from this point of view, how does Zhuge get along with Leshu?" ”

Hearing this, Lotte was humble again.

"Four handsome masters, Lord Le!" At this time, I saw a group of young generals coming, and after bowing, he said: "I don't know when the handsome men plan to let us attack the city, the soldiers under the last general can't help it, let the last general come to ask for instructions."

Several people of the Seed Master Dao set their eyes on Lotte and said, "You ask Leshu, this is under the full command of Leshu!" ”

Most of these young generals are recognized by Lotte, Liu Qi, Chongyan Chongyan, Qu Duan, Liu Zhengyan and others are also good friends with Lotte.

"Let's start attacking again when the lantern is almost gone, so as not to injure our own brother's life!" Lotte said.
