Chapter 18: The alien race is frightened (Part 1)

In Xixia, the imperial palace, Li Bingchang was discussing major events with a group of ministers.

This time, Li Bingchang lost his past pride, but only worries, his brows were twisted tightly, and became the character Sichuan.

Not only him, but also the ministers, all of whom were frowning and pursing their lips, saying few words. The king and his ministers were not discussing major events, but simply sitting and worrying.

Since receiving the news that Wu Ji had taken three cities in a row, the emperor and his ministers in Xixia were shocked and the pride of the past no longer existed. Not only did they have no pride, but on the contrary, they were very frightened and very scared.

Wu Ji took action quickly and seized three cities in a row. This was shocking. Especially when Wu Ji's army actually captured the old capital Xiazhou, it was already aiming at Xingqing Prefecture. Xixia was in danger. Can they not worry? Not to mention that Xixia had no soldiers at this time and had no generals. What should we use to fight against Wu Ji?

At this moment, what Li Bingchang most hoped was to return the Xixia army that went to Shanzhou to fight for the victory in Shanzhou. At that time, after receiving the good news in Shanzhou, Li Bingchang was extremely happy and wished to send more troops and capture more places. Now, he regretted it. The elite troops of Xixia went to Shanzhou, and Xixia was empty. If Wu Ji rushed to Xingqing Prefecture, what would he use to resist?

Xingqing Prefecture is the capital of Xixia and is a place where Wu Ji is determined to win. Wu Ji will definitely come, and it will come very quickly, so Li Bingchang and the others are worried.

However, to their surprise, Wu Ji actually stopped moving in Xiazhou and did not immediately call Xingqing Prefecture, which made Li Bingchang secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Wu Ji did not attack for the time being and the crisis was still there, Li Bingchang did not dare to take it lightly at all, so he had to discuss it with the ministers every day. However, after discussing, there was no magic method.

It is a good plan to defend Xingqing Prefecture to the death. However, the solidity of Xingqing Prefecture is similar to that of Xiazhou. Even if it is stronger than Xiazhou, it is not much stronger. Xiazhou has defeated Wu Ji in one go. How long can Xingqing Prefecture last?

Besides, even if you stick to Xingqing Prefecture, it is just an isolated city. There are many Han people outside the city, and they will inevitably go to the Song Dynasty. In addition to the Han people, there are also foreign races such as *** and Uighurs, who are likely to fall into the arms of the Song Dynasty.

In this way, did Xixia lose all places except Xingqing Prefecture? Once these places are lost, can Xixia still be called Xixia?

The best way is to fight Wu Ji and defeat Wu Ji, but this can only be considered. First, Li Bingchang has no soldiers in his hands, and the elite of Xixia is in Shanzhou. Second, even if he holds the elite of his hands, he dare not fight against Wu Ji's army. You must know that Li Yan led the elite of Xixia. In front of Wu Ji's army, a charge collapsed. What other army in Xixia can resist?

The only flaw of Li Yan's army was that they did not have enough Iron Harriers. In order to attack Shanzhou, Xixia was all elite, and all Iron Harriers were sent out. Even if Iron Harriers were there, they might not be able to defeat Wu Ji, at most they would be tied.

After thinking about it, Li Bingchang and his ministers, they had no wonderful method to retreat to the enemy, so they had to worry about it.

"Your Majesty, why don't we have a peace talk." Some ministers made a tentative idea.

"Peace talks? No! No!"

"Hmph! Daxia fought with Emperor Song for decades and gained the upper hand. Why did Daxia have to negotiate with the timid Song people?"

"Daxia has the upper hand. As long as we cough, the Song people will scare away dozens of miles. Why do we need to negotiate?"

A voice of opposition sounded, and the ministers all held their heads high, as if they were still in the days when Xixia had gained the upper hand. For them, they would never accept the facts of peace talks. Xixia had gained the upper hand for decades, and suddenly asked them to let the last part, put their faces on the bottom of the board, and accepted the facts of peace talks. It was really difficult and difficult!

"But, if we don't talk, what should we do?"

"Yes! Wu Ji's army has taken Xiazhou and pointed at Xingqing Mansion. Although he has not yet called Xingqing Mansion, it will be a matter of time sooner or later. What can we use to resist?"

"You must know that the elite troops stationed in Xiazhou are the ones in Daxia. Except for the lack of Iron Harrier, there are all the other elite troops. It is such an elite. In front of Wu Ji's army, a charge collapsed, and a large army of tens of thousands of people were killed by Wu Ji's army. Who can retreat to the enemy? Who can retreat to the enemy?"

"If you don't talk about it at this time, if Wu Ji's army comes, it will be too late."

Although they were unwilling to accept it, some ministers were still very clear. They realized the huge gap between the Xia army and the Song army, and peace talks were their only way out at the moment.

"This..." The opposing ministers were extremely reluctant, but they had to accept this fact and dared not object anymore.

"Perhaps you can try peace talks. But will Wu Ji ask for a price all over the place?" Li Bingchang was able to accept the peace talks. However, he was worried that Wu Ji's asking price was too high.

For the first time in decades, the Western Xia was at a disadvantage, and the Song Dynasty had the upper hand for the first time. Wu Ji's asking price must be very high, so they couldn't help but hesitate.

"Report to the Emperor, General Li Zongbao, General Liang Xi, and General Liang Xi are asking for a meeting!" Just as the monarch and ministers were in a dilemma and could not decide, an eunuch quickly came in to report.

"Li Zongbao? Liang Xi?" When Li Bingchang heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. His eyebrows were raised, his eyes were shining, and he laughed: "Please! The two generals fought well in Shanzhou, and there must be good news!"

Xixia attacked Shanzhou and achieved a great victory that had never been seen in decades. When Li Bingchang thought of this, he was so happy that he could not speak of his mouth.

"Huh!" The ministers let out a sigh, and finally let go of their hearts.

Li Zongbao and Liang Xi were back, which means that all the elites of the Western Xia were back. Especially the return of Tie Harrier, for them, it was a great joy. For the ministers of Xixia, Tie Harrier was their pillar. As long as there was Tie Harrier, there was no need to be afraid. Tie Harrier has not been defeated yet, and even if they were Piss army of the Liao Kingdom, how could they not have confidence?

"They fought well in Shanzhou and captured a lot of things. When they came back, they must have brought a lot of wealth. We all have a share, and we are going to make a big deal again!"

Some ministers even dreamed of getting rich. They can’t blame them. In their eyes, Shanzhou is a paradise of wealth. Li Zongbao and others fought well and could return empty-handed? They must be returning with a full load.

There are many ministers who think so, and beautiful little stars appear in their eyes, as if they are already rolling on a mountain of gold and silver.

Just as the expectations of the monarch and ministers, Li Zongbao and Liang Xi came in. When the monarch and ministers saw the two, their hearts were stuttering and they thought it was not good.

Li Zongbao and Liang Xi have lost their human form. Not only have they lost weight, but they are even more in a bad spirit and need someone to support them when they walk. If no one supports them, they will definitely fall to the ground.

The two were ragged, with bones destroyed, and were depressed, with a weak look, as if they were not far from death.

"This..." Recalling the spirit of the two of them when they went on a war that day, the monarch and ministers didn't believe it at all. They thought they had read it wrong, so they couldn't help but rub their eyes and looked at it again and again. Yes, they were two people! They were two people who were about to die!

"How did you do this?" Li Bingchang screamed, stepped forward, his eyes widened, and he asked.

"Report to the emperor, I am... I deserve long live the crime!" Li Zongbao stuttered and gasped heavily.

"What are you guilty?" Li Bingchang felt more and more wrong and asked anxiously.

"I am waiting to retreat in Shanzhou..." Liang Xi's words were interrupted after he started.

"What? You lost in Shanzhou? Didn't you fight well? You have won the best victory in Daxia for decades, how could you lose in life?" Li Bingchang was absolutely unwilling to believe it. His scream suddenly started, loud and harsh, even more unpleasant than the eunuch's voice!

The Battle of Shaanxi Province was a great victory that Xixia had never seen in decades. Who would be willing to accept the news of failure? Not only Li Bingchang was unwilling, but even a group of ministers were unwilling, and each looked disbelief.

"Twenty-hundred thousand Western soldiers followed, took down Hengshan and entered the territory of Daxia!" Li Zongbao was too bad, and he actually reported another shocking news.

"Bang!" Li Bingchang knocked over a table, and the cups and plates were everywhere: "Impossible! Impossible! Two hundred thousand Western soldiers entered the territory of Daxia! This is impossible! It is absolutely impossible!"

He looked up at the sky, shouting loudly at the top of his lungs, not believing it at all.

"Oh my God!" A scream sounded, from the mouths of the ministers: "One Wu Ji is already hard to deal with, and another 200,000 Western soldiers are coming. What should I do?"

"That's the Western Army! Two hundred thousand Western Army!"

"The Western Army is the strong enemy of Daxia! If it weren't for the Western Army, Daxia would have entered Guanzhong long ago!"

When the ministers heard the news, they were frightened, their legs trembled, and their words were crying.

Although Xixia has gained the upper hand for decades, the ministers knew that the Western soldiers were strong enemies. Although Xixia has gained the upper hand, it could not enter Shanzhou. At most, it would just plunder and then quickly escape. They knew very well that if they fought against the Western soldiers head-on, Xixia would not be able to defeat them no matter what.

Now that the Western soldiers have taken down Hengshan and entered Xixia, and there are 200,000 at the same time, can they not be afraid?

Not only were the ministers frightened, but even the emperor Li Bingchang was shocked, with a look of fear on his face, covering his chest, gasping for breath, and unable to even speak.

"How many soldiers have you lost? Where is the Iron Harrier?" Li Bingchang finally stabilized his emotions and asked loudly.

"Report to the emperor, I am incompetent, and I have suffered losses, with nearly 30% of the casualties. The iron kite is not damaged!" Li Zongbao was extremely unwilling to report, but he had to report it.

"Huh!" Li Bingchang breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "Iron Harrier is not damaged, that's good! That's good!"

Iron Harrier is the most elite army in Xixia and the pillar of Xixia. As long as the Iron Harrier is not damaged, it will be easy to deal with.

"You guys say, how should Daxia deal with it?" As long as the iron kid is there, Li Bingzhu is more confident. He is no longer afraid, but asks for advice.

"I have planned to discuss that Daxia has two plans for the present. One is to search for soldiers and soldiers, and prepare to fight to the death with the Song army! The other is to send people to negotiate with Wu Ji to delay time." Li Zongbao and Liang Xi looked at each other and revealed the plan they had already planned.
