Chapter 643 Destroyed
It was getting brighter.

Go up to Weiyuan Building and look north, you can see a large area of ​​ruins in the north of the city, and there are still some ancestral halls around it.

Li Xia raised the binoculars and saw that the ruins were covered with thick dust. Occasionally, rubble could be seen from under the dust, which must have been a palace.

"It's called 'Wazapo' now." Wang Zhongchen followed Li Xia's gaze and said.

His face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, his forehead was scarred, and he looked lifeless.But he is still trying his best to win Li Xia's favor.

"Wazapo was the 'Li Family Dragon Palace' in the Tang Dynasty, and it was the ancestral hall of the Li family members all over the world. It was destroyed by the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and there are still thick rubbles in an area of ​​more than [-] mu, some of which are as thick as five or six feet high." Wang Zhongchen sighed, and said again: "The disaster of war."

Li Xia didn't speak, just waited and watched the situation around, put away the watch tube, Ren Wang Zhongchen tried to make friends in front of him.

Wang Zhongchen only glanced at the lookout tube, and immediately guessed what it was for, thinking that it was no wonder Li Xia was able to strangle all the roads leading to Lintao so quickly.

"Since my father came to rule Gongchang, he also tried to build the Dragon Palace of the Li family. Those ancestral halls were built by my father. I also found a plaque inscribed by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and enshrined it all..."

"No matter how much you say, it's useless." Li Xia said, "I've agreed to die when I'm done."

"Yes, I will never dare to survive, and try my best to do things for Li Shuai." Wang Zhongchen practiced the ceremony honestly.

When he lowered his head, he glanced at the street to the north, and saw that the soldiers of the Song Army had led the generals of the city over and began to line up.

The generals of Gongchang had been stripped of their armor and weapons, but they were not disturbed.

They thought they were here to surrender.

In fact, Wang Zhongchen ordered Gong Chang to fortify the wall and clear the country yesterday afternoon, and the night city was destroyed, and Li Xia went straight to the commander-in-chief Gong Chang's mansion.

In other words, by the time Wang Zhongchen surrendered, most of the soldiers would not even have time to put on armor.

The Song Army has completely controlled Gongchang City...

Wang Zhongchen pretended not to see it, and continued to ask, as if he was introducing a local character, "Sinner, talk too much. Li Shuai should sacrifice to the ancestral temple first, so as to secure the hearts of the people in Longxi."

"It makes sense." Li Xia really didn't expect this. He always tended to ignore the customs of the world, so he asked, "Is that also my ancestral temple?"

"That's right. The main hall enshrines Li Zhengong, the first ancestor of the Li family. He eats Li Weisheng, so he has the surname Li. May I ask which family Li Shuai is from?"

Li Xia thought about it, and vaguely remembered what Li Yong had said.

"It seems to be Gu Zang's room."

"In the Tang Dynasty, Guzang House, Wuyang House, Dunhuang House, and Danyang House were all the fourth houses of the Li family in Longxi. Dare I ask what branch Li Shuai came from?"

"do not know."

"There is the Li family in Xiangzhou, such as Li Shangyin, who came from Gu Zang Fang."

"Shut up and prepare to help me identify."

Wang Zhongchen saluted, with a sincere face, and said: "Li Shuai doesn't seem to know what I mean, in fact, the ancestors of the Li family in Longxi came from the Guzang Li family..."

"I know what you want to say." Li Xia said: "But, you are no longer qualified."

Wang Zhongchen quickly knelt down, cried again, and made a last effort.

"I implore Li Shuai to learn from you! The Wang family is of great use. The generals stationed in the prefectures and counties in Longxi today are either from the Wang family, or from the Mu family, Li family, and Zhao family who are married to the Wang family, as well as the Shatuo, Kelie, and Dangxiang ministries. Only with the help of the Wang family, Li Shuai can pacify Longxi as soon as possible. Jingzhao Mansion has Lian Xixian, Shang Ting, and Liu Heima, so they must not be underestimated!"

"I never gave you a chance?"

"Sinners dare not survive, and wish to entrust their clansmen to assist Li Shuai with all their strength before death. Only Li Shuai will allow me to persuade them to serve faithfully!"

Wang Zhongchen cried blood every word, as if he was devoted to loyalty.

It seems that, like his name, he became a loyal minister.

Li Xia patted his neck with the tip of the sword.

"You are greedy."

"Sinners dare not... Every word and every word is planned by the benefactor Li Jun."

"Aren't you greedy? Last night you wanted to protect the 'innocent family', and this morning you want to protect the power of the Wang family."

When Wang Zhongchen was exposed, his face became more and more miserable, and he said with tears: "Sinners... dare not argue, but every sentence is planned by the benefactor. Here, the combination is the law of mutual benefit."

"late."

Li Xia seemed ruthless, and said: "If you miss it, you miss it. Today I will give you a second chance, and someone will come and ask me for three chances later."

Wang Zhongchen became more and more anxious, and felt that Li Xia was really hard-hearted, and he couldn't be persuaded like this.

"But how should the benefactor pacify Longxi?!"

"It's just a matter of working harder. The thousand commander will be killed if he is guilty. I will support the centurion. If the centurion is killed, I will support the chief."

"It's too late... too late! The benefactor should know that Lian Xixian has seen through..."

"Let me tell you, we have already agreed on the conditions." Li Xia interrupted Wang Zhongchen, and said, "Innocents in your Wang family can live. Let's calculate who are innocent... In the third year of Jiaxi, Meng Gong led the army into Sichuan and repelled you Mongolian troops who slaughtered Shu. In the first year of Xingchang, Wang Dechen began to appease the refugees. Then I will keep the Wang family men under the age of 17, as well as women and children, and keep the incense of the Wang family for you."

If it was Li Xia in the past, he would also worry that someone would take revenge if he cut the grass and did not eradicate the root.But in fact, if such a big family wants to pass it on, it doesn't have the guts to take revenge at all, and it won't have such a chance.

This is an era of killing and killing, and even hatred seems extravagant.

For example, from the whole night to now, Wang Zhongchen has no right to hate at all, and it is too late for him to ask for protection.

"Benefactor... Please..."

Wang Zhongchen uttered the word "please" for the first time until now, and he was finally powerless.

"Let me tell you about my sincerity. I will send your family to Lin'an. You choose a child to surrender to the emperor on behalf of the Wang family. The court will treat them leniently."

Wang Zhongchen was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that Li Xia's mind could not be changed anymore.

Li Xia didn't plan to use the Wang family, so he wouldn't keep the Wang family in Longxi; Sichuan and Shu, the Wang family had participated in the massacre at Kuodan, so they couldn't go; Hanzhong and Lizhou were originally operated by the Wang family, so they couldn't go... …

Only by going to Lin'an can the Wang family have the final use value.

Li Xia wanted to show the court of Zhao Song, "Look, I didn't want to absorb the Marquis of the North like Meng Gong did."

But in fact?
Have.

"I'm not afraid that your family members will come to Lin'an and say that I am self-reliant. If they say it, no one will believe it."

Li Xia seemed to be reassuring Wang Zhongchen, or didn't mind saying a few more words because Wang Zhongchen would die.

"Perhaps, even if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty believed me, they still had an excuse in their hearts to let me go. They would think 'Li Xia didn't join forces with the Gongchang Wang family' because they were lazy, just like emperors who only wanted to control generals, not Lead the troops personally.

Back then, why did Kuo Duan treat Wang Shixian so favorably?Because as long as Wang Shixian joined forces, Kuo Duan would already be able to control the troops in Longxi.This is the easiest and fastest way.

Kuo Duan was too lazy to rectify the lower ranks himself.If he can't get it right, he still has to go to Sichuan and Shu to rob him, and he can't wait.The Great Mongolia has such a large territory, so every small area has to be painstakingly governed, and he is too late.

I am different.I'm not qualified to be lazy, and I'm not qualified to use quick and easy methods.I can only build my foundation little by little, go among the soldiers, and personally control the troops. In this way, Longxi is my Longxi, instead of Wang and Li sharing Longxi.right?
It is very tiring and difficult, but I am not afraid of being tired or difficult.There is only one thing that I can't do by myself. As you said, the people stationed in Longxi Prefecture and County are all your clansmen and your in-laws.So, I need your help, would you help me? "

As Li Xia said, he bent down and looked seriously into Wang Zhongchen's eyes.

Wang Zhongchen closed his eyes, feeling extremely desperate.

Li Xia wanted to kill him, his clansmen and in-laws, and destroy the foundation of the Wang family in Longxi... Then he asked him if he would like to help?

are you willing?
Never!

However, dare not resist.

After a long time, Wang Zhongchen opened his eyes, and there was incomparable pain in his eyes.

He pursed his lips.

Li Xia said: "Look at you people, you don't care about the country, the nation, human life, or dignity... Don't rush to refute, you keep saying that you care, I heard it. But these are not what you care about most. It's your family that matters."

The word "family" caught his ears, and Wang Zhongchen burst into tears again.

For the whole night, he left everything behind and knelt down in front of the enemy, begging for mercy, which was more painful than death, more tormented than torture.

Until being poked by the word Li Xia, it was endless grievances.

"The Kingdom of Jin is strong, and you serve the Kingdom of Jin. Mongolia is strong, and you surrender to Mongolia. The Song Army has come, and you can surrender now. It doesn't matter. What is the root of all your thoughts and actions? So I came, and went straight to Gongchang. Go straight to the commander-in-chief's mansion. Now, your family is in my hands, how will you choose?"

"..."

~~
"He, went to Chengdu with his father."

In front of everyone, Wang Zhongchen raised his hand and pointed at his wife, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and clan brothers.

"Brother-in-law!"

"puff."

"And he, he..."

"Cousin, you..."

"Puff puff……"

In front of the commander-in-chief's mansion, there seemed to be a river of blood.

Corpses piled up on the side of the road, like hills.

Li Xia stood upstairs in Weiyuan and watched for a whole day.

In fact, without Wang Zhongchen's identification, he would also replace these generals.The reason why he did this was to completely destroy the prestige of the Wang family in Gongchang.

Then, before the news spread, he would take Wang Zhongchen to each prefecture and county, let Wang Zhongchen recruit generals from all over the place, and then follow the same pattern.

Only by destroying the original belief in Longxi can it be rebuilt...

But Li Xia's time is running out.

He has already got the documents in Wang Zhongchen's study, including the letter from Lian Xixian...

~~
Chang'an City.

May 25, late at night.

Lian Xixian sat alone in the study, reading the letters again for a long time.

"Qishan Fort has been lost...Qinzhou asks for help..."

Looking at the map, he casually swept away the war chess placed on Qishan Road on the map, and muttered: "I underestimated Li Xia...Wang Liangchen has been wiped out..."

"Qinzhou's request for help was sent on the 22th, and arrived at Fengxiang on the [-]nd...then now...prepared and unprepared..."

Holding the red wargame on his fingertips, after hesitating for a moment, Lian Xixian placed it in Gongchang's place.

He didn't rush to think about the strategy, but sorted out the time first.

The mental calculation was extremely fast, and soon he began to mark.

"Then around the tenth day of the lunar new year, Li Xia ambushed Wang Liangchen... If I arranged it, how long would it take?"

This timeline is very important to Lian Xixian.

When he deployed troops to deal with Hunduhai, he said "strike first, strike later", "if the opportunity is lost, don't chase after it", and Li Xia did the same when dealing with him.

Until the context of the whole thing is deduced clearly.

Lian Xixian finally got through the fog and clearly outlined Li Xia's strength in his mind.

"Starting from the release of Jia Hou, he has been planning for half a year. I was too late for him... If the opportunity is lost, don't chase after it...Longxi is hard to defend, so we should recover the opportunity first..."

He stroked the map with a pen, and then looked up at the night outside the window. There was no panic in his eyes, only fighting spirit...
