It is already New Year's Eve, but because the war is still going on, there is no New Year's atmosphere in Liangshan's army! On this night, Hu Yanting, Han Chang and others still led 20,000 cavalry to guard Zhongxing Mansion.
To the west, to the south, prevent the monarchs and ministers of Xixia from leaving there!
Only Yang Zhi and Yang Xiong's troops can have a good rest tonight after their long journey. www
Every soldier received enough food and hot water. Before they arrived, Yue Fei had prepared a lot of accommodation for them, but only a small part of them were houses in Lingzhou City, and some were erected on the streets.
tent, and they have to spend the night in the tent!
In the city lord's palace in Lingzhou City, Yue Fei, Liu Guangshi, Yang Zhi, Yang Xiong and others are sitting together! In the Liangshan army, drinking is not allowed easily! Especially for senior generals like them who are on the battlefield, this is absolutely
No alcohol allowed! So now they are drinking hot water and eating barbecue.
"The two generals marched so fast. They reached here from the east in just one month. It was like marching in a hurry! I admire them!" Yue Fei praised.
"If you hadn't eliminated the main Xixia force and attracted the attention of the Xixia reinforcements here, we wouldn't have been able to move so fast! Besides, we all carried enough artillery and were invincible along the way. Naturally, we marched very fast! We
Tomorrow we will completely surround Zhongxing Mansion and then bombard it with artillery. We can knock down Zhongxing Mansion within a day!" Yang Zhidao.
"Okay!" Yue Fei nodded.
Originally, Yue Fei and Liu Guangshi planned to recruit the Xixia Emperor to surrender, and then use the name of the Xixia Emperor to recruit other places to surrender! But now it seems that the Xixia Emperor has no intention of surrendering at all, and with the strength of the Liangshan army, there is no need to surrender now!
"The two generals must be extremely tired along the way. You should rest early today. I will take people to harass the Zhongxing Mansion tonight to make them tired. It will be easier for us to attack the city tomorrow!" Yue Fei said.
"Okay!" Yang Zhi and Yang Xiong nodded. They had finished eating and were about to get up and leave when suddenly a soldier ran in.
"What happened?" Yue Fei asked.
"General, the Prime Minister of Xixia, Li Lingyuan, is asking for an audience at the gate of Lingzhou City!" The soldier made a military statement and reported.
"Oh!" Yue Fei couldn't help being stunned.
He has been waiting at the gate of Zhongxing Mansion for many days, but the Xixia people have not surrendered, nor have they sent anyone to contact him to ask for peace! Now it is the evening of the New Year's Eve, and the Xixia people's prime minister is here! It seems that the Xixia people have arrived
They already know the news of the arrival of Yang Zhi, Yang Xiong and others, and they also know that the eastern territory is occupied by the Liangshan army!
"Let him come over!" Yue Fei said with a sneer on his face.
Since they encountered such a thing, Yang Zhi and Yang Xiong naturally stopped leaving and sat down again.
******
Li Lingyuan, the prime minister of the Western Xia Dynasty, was standing at the foot of Lingzhou City. He looked at the Lingzhou City in front of him and was filled with emotion. This was originally the eastern barrier of Zhongxing Mansion, but now it has become the territory of the Han people. Just as Yue Fei thought, he did get
He learned about Yang Zhi and Yang Xiong's march, and also learned that countless cities in the east were occupied by Liangshan Han people. Because of this, he came to Lingzhou City.
"Liangshan is so powerful. In just one month, they fought from the west to the east! Xixia seems to be dead. I hope they can spare the lives of our monarchs and ministers!" Li Lingyuan's face was very ugly, and he was secretly thinking in his heart.
road.
He stood below for a short time before the city gate finally opened and he was let into the city.
At this moment, the cold wind was howling and the temperature in the northwest was extremely low. He turned around and could see countless Liangshan soldiers standing on guard on the city wall. Even at night like this, not a single soldier relaxed. In addition, at important intersections in the streets, there were also Liangshan soldiers.
Soldiers patrolled and stood guard there. If it were in the Xixia army, the soldiers would have already found a place to rest by this time, but there was absolutely no such phenomenon in the Liangshan army.
"The Liangshan army is said to have strict military discipline, and it seems that it is well-deserved!" Li Lingyuan thought to himself.
Continuing forward, he saw countless tents on the street, and Liangshan soldiers actually lived in the tents. He was even more surprised and unbelievable!
"Do your Liangshan soldiers live here?" Li Lingyuan couldn't help but ask.
"That's right! They just arrived tonight. Lingzhou City is not big, so they can only live here!" said a company commander who was leading the way.
"There... there are countless residential buildings in Lingzhou City, why don't you live in them?" Li Lingyuan said.
"We, the soldiers of Liangshan, are not allowed to harass the people at will! Unless the house is no longer occupied, or the landlord takes the initiative to invite us in, otherwise, we are not allowed to enter!" the company commander in front said calmly.
"Hmph! What a hypocrisy! Your Liangshan army has been burning and killing all the way. Countless villages from the southern border of Xixia to here have been burned by you, and countless people have been killed by you. Now you actually act so friendly to the people.
, isn’t it ridiculous?” Li Lingyuan said suddenly.
The face of the company commander in front turned red, and he said: "General Liu encountered special circumstances. He wanted to strengthen the wall and clear the country to better eliminate the enemy! Moreover, General Liu's actions were extremely controversial in the army. Originally,
He has made great contributions. It can be said that he was almost the first to attack Xixia. However, now the merits and demerits are equal, and the army no longer gives him credit! In most cases, our Liangshan army will not do such a thing.
!”
"The merits and demerits offset each other? Is this true?" Li Lingyuan said in disbelief again.
A few days ago, since Li Lingde was returned to Zhongxing Mansion, the Xixia monarchs and ministers already knew the name "Liu Guangshi", and also knew how hard Liu Guangshi was on his way to clear the country, which made the Xixia army miserable, and even in the end the Xixia army completely destroyed the capital.
There is Liu Guang
If this credit were given to Xixia, it would be unbelievable. Liu Guangshi would definitely get a heavy reward, but in Liangshan, Liu Guangshi’s merits and demerits were equal to each other! How could he believe such a thing? But look at the company commander in front of him
The expression seems to be real!
For a moment, Li Lingyuan actually stayed there! He had never even heard of such an army, let alone seen it! He didn't move forward until the company commander in front urged him!
"Is this what the Han people call a 'teacher of benevolence and righteousness'? But what kind of combat effectiveness can such an army that loves its people like its own children have? Impossible..." Li Lingyuan secretly denied the previous company commander's statement.
Soon, they arrived at the city lord's mansion, and he was invited in!
He first entered the hall, and then entered a room! The room was very simply decorated, with only a table, a few stools, and maps and documents on the table! However, there was a stove in the room, and the temperature was
It was extremely high! There were several candles lit in the room, and there were four people sitting there! One of them was Yue Fei, and Li Lingyuan recognized Yue Fei! He didn't recognize the other three, but he thought they must all be from Liangshan.
Senior general.
"Li Lingyuan of Xixia has met four generals!" Li Lingyuan bowed respectfully and said.
"No need to talk nonsense. Are you here to surrender?" Yue Fei said while sitting there without standing up at all. He pointed to a stool in front of him and motioned for Li Lingyuan to sit down as well.
Li Lingyuan never expected that Yue Fei could be so "rude" and "direct". Logically speaking, he was the prime minister of Xixia, and Yue Fei had to entertain him well before talking about business. But he didn't know that Liangshan's army
He emphasized efficiency. As a pure soldier, how could Yue Fei lie to him for so long?
"Exactly! Your Majesty sent me here to surrender." Yue Fei's eyes were fixed on Li Lingyuan, and Li Lingyuan said hurriedly.
"Bring it to me and take a look!" Yue Fei said.
At that moment, Li Lingyuan handed over the surrender, and Yue Fei scanned it carefully, and then a sarcastic smile appeared on his face! He handed the surrender to Yang Zhi and the other three people to watch. After reading it, these three people also sneered.
"Now, you, the Emperor of Xixia, still want to continue to rule the northwest? What do you mean by becoming a vassal state of our Liangshan, and no longer proclaiming emperor, but king? What a sweet dream you have! Do you think that we, Liangshan, can tolerate your continued rule?
Northwest?" Yue Fei sneered.
"Do you really want to knock down all of us Xixia? There are millions of Dangxiang people in this territory, and we Dangxiang people will not obey the orders of you Han people!" Li Lingyuan said.
"This is our Liangshan matter, you don't need to worry about it! If this is your surrender, I'm sorry, we can't accept it! Tomorrow morning, the first day of the Lunar New Year, we will launch a full-scale attack on Zhongxing Mansion.
On the day of destruction, you Xixia monarchs and ministers will only die!" Yue Fei said coldly.
Li Lingyuan's face turned pale. At this time, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Before I came, His Majesty once told me that if you can't tolerate us continuing to establish a country, that's okay! We will completely surrender to you, and our city gates will
Open to you, our land and people will belong to you from now on! However, you also need to ensure our safety!"
Yue Fei, Yang Zhi, Yang Xiong and others looked at each other, and a smile appeared on Yue Fei's face. Yue Fei said: "This is natural! We will definitely ensure your safety! Goryeo, Khitan and other places were defeated by us. They
The emperors have all surrendered to us, and now they are all living well. They even own their own property, and some of them are even still serving us in Liangshan. If you surrender, you will be treated the same as them. However, you need help
Let’s work together to safeguard Liangshan’s rule in Xixia.”
Li Lingyuan was stunned and said: "How can we help you?"
Yue Fei smiled and said: "When the time comes, let your emperor issue an edict, ordering the officers and soldiers everywhere to surrender, and ordering the people everywhere not to resist. If necessary, he will even accompany us to inspect various places in person to promote our Liangshan policy!"
"Yes!" Li Lingyuan sighed deeply, that was all he could do now.
