"General, it's not good. The Song court heard from us that we would withdraw from Xiazhou within three days and move our entire clan into Song territory, otherwise we would meet each other!"

"What?" Li Guangrui was shocked and said in surprise: "Who leaked the news!"

Everyone was a little panicked when they saw the Song court's order. They had been careful for more than a month, and the mobilization of the army was very secretive and did not alarm anyone.

"Father, it seems that Song Ting knew about us. He was forcing us to make a choice, but there is no news about the Liao Kingdom yet, what should we do!"

At this time, the Li family and his son were already in trouble. After returning to Xiazhou, Xiao Siwen's envoy came. The two sides had reached a alliance. They promised the Liao Kingdom that if they regretted it at this time, not only will the Song Kingdom not be able to go, but the Liao Kingdom will not let them go!

But if they don't regret it, the Song army will be in a big way. Once the war begins, the reinforcements of the Liao Kingdom may not arrive at any time. Dangxiang is also waiting for the Liao Kingdom's actions. If the Liao Kingdom does not send troops, they will not come.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Li Guangrui. Because the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed by Guo Hao early, he had no chance to show his performance. He had been a little guilty over the years.

Now this guilt has gradually turned into fear, but he still has hope. Although Guo Hao gave him an ultimatum, judging from Guo Hao's previous performance, he may not make things difficult for them.

"Everyone, because of the current situation, Song Ting ordered us to leave within three days. If we don't leave, the Song army will invade.

Although we have some soldiers, we are not opponents of the Song army. For the sake of Yan Xu of our Li family, we can only open the city to surrender. I will bear all the blame. The Li family will depend on you in the future!”

Li Guangrui had already given up. His words silenced everyone and aroused the fighting spirit of many people, including Li Jiyun.

"Father, isn't it just a war? We fight him. Although we can't stop the Song army from a lifetime, as long as we persist until the reinforcements arrive, there may not be no hope of survival!"

Li Guangrui shook his head. Although he knew this, he suddenly thought of one thing, that is, if the Liao Kingdom helps them resist the Song army, they must enter the territory. Will the Liao Kingdom leave in this way?

It is easy to ask for a god but hard to send him away. After all, this is a struggle between the Song and Liao dynasties. It can be said that a fight between gods and immortals, and he, a mortal, suffered.

What happened next is no longer controlled by the Li family. No matter who enters the territory, they may take the opportunity to occupy it. The Li family’s century-old foundation cannot be preserved. This is God’s destruction of their Li family!

Unless they completely give up their territory and flee to the Dangxiang like Li Jiqian, but Li Jiqian was only four years old at this time and would not give them any advice, nor did they have the courage of Li Jiqian!

Just when Li Guangrui was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, someone came outside to report that the Liao Kingdom's decree had arrived.

"Li Guangrui received the order:

The Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty issued an edict that the Li family had been in the northwest for a hundred years, and filial piety was achieved through nature, and the son's way was not damaged; the Qing Dynasty was in his life, and he practiced without laziness...

Specially named Li Guangrui, the governor of Dingnan, as King of Xia!"

After the envoy announced the imperial edict of the Liao Kingdom, the Li clan members had not yet reacted. The Liao Kingdom actually recognized their status. Although it was vassal state at that time, it was independent.

The envoy handed the imperial edict to Li Guangrui, and Li Guangrui took it respectfully. The envoy said, "King Xia, the Prime Minister asked me to tell you that you must resist the Song army. Our army has arrived in Shuozhou and will support you soon!"

The Liao Kingdom really sent reinforcements, and the Li clan members were all overjoyed. Li Guangrui was a little unbelievable, but he bowed to the east and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Prime Minister, I'm so worried. As long as the Liao Kingdom can support us, we will stick to the end!"

The envoy nodded with satisfaction and then returned to report. At this time, the envoy of the Song court was still drinking tea in the front hall and found that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

"No, something is wrong with those who just arrived, let's go!"

The envoy wanted to leave the Jiedushi Mansion, but as soon as he walked out of the hall, he was stopped. Li Jijun stood in front of him and said with a sneer: "Where is the envoy going? Isn't it to let us move in three days? What's the matter with the envoy so anxious to leave?"

"It turned out to be Mr. Li. I suddenly remembered that there were still some things to do, so I planned to go back first and then come to visit the general."

"Oh? What is the messenger going to do? You can do it for me. The master comes from afar, so why not stay for a few more days before talking about it."

Li Jiyun refused to let the envoy leave. The envoy saw that he showed murderous intent. The envoy knew that he was in danger, but he also felt that Li Jiyun dared not go too far.

"Li Jijun, I am the envoy of the Song court, not an official of the Dingnan Army. Where do I want you to take care of?"

Li Jijun suddenly laughed and nodded, "I really can't control the envoy, but this is the territory of our Li family. Our Li family has always been loyal to the Song court, and that foolish monarch actually doubts us!"

Li Jijun could say such a ruthless thing, but Li had already decided to rebel against Song, and the messenger's heart skipped a beat and knew that he was finished.

"What are you going to do? Shizhou has my 100,000 troops in the Song Dynasty. If you dare to rebel, the imperial army will destroy you immediately. If I don't return for three days, the army will immediately attack the city!"

"One hundred thousand? It's really scary. We really want to rebel, but Song Ting wouldn't know. Three days is enough!"

After saying that, Li Jiyun drew out his sword and stabbed the envoy with one sword. This envoy was just a supravaged to the Shizhou Yamen. Although he knew some skills, he was not Li Jiyun's opponent.

With just three moves, the messenger was sealed with a sword. He looked at Li Jiyun unwillingly and fell to the ground.

Li Jijun put the sword into the sheath. At this time, Li Guangrui brought people out and looked at the corpse underground and frowned.

When the two countries fought, they did not kill the envoy. Although the imperial edict of the Liao Kingdom had arrived, no one knew what the result was.

Now that Li Jiyun has killed the envoy of the Song court, the Li clan has completely lost his way out of the Song Dynasty. Now that the Song army is at the city, there will be a great battle once every three days!

Shizhou, Song army camp.

Zhao Kuangyin finally arrived, and Yang Guangyi stepped forward to salute. Zhao Kuangyin was not polite and directly asked about the situation in Xiazhou.

"The imperial court's order has been sent to the city. Two days have passed, but Li has not responded.

There was no news about the messengers sent. It seemed that there was a lot of danger. I ordered the soldiers to prepare and immediately attack the city once every three days, head straight to Xiazhou, and capture the Li clan alive!"

Zhao Kuangyin made the decision and could not hesitate at this time, but Yang Guangyi was a little worried: "General, according to the spy, 20,000 troops from the Khitan have arrived in Shuozhou.

If both sides join forces and attack inside and outside, we only need 30,000 troops, and there will be danger! And there will be movements on the Dangxiang side!"
