The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1238 Changes in the situation
It's just that these obviously don't have much to do with Zhongsun Zhouting.

Tuobaxiong, Wu Deng and others escaped from the Zhongxing Mansion, after Zhongsun Zhouting took a rough look around, he just ran towards the palace in a hurry.

Not surprisingly, Li Xiushu was furious after learning about this incident, and even scolded Zhongsun Zhouting for being incompetent at the beginning.

Zhongsun Zhouting didn't dare to refute half a sentence, but just asked Li Xiushu to come down.

But in the end, Li Xiushu did not condemn him.

Zhongsun Zhouting didn't know that when he left, Li Xiushu's expression was not so solemn.

Although Tingchao Mansion lost many masters in this battle, it only made her heartbroken.

People like Tuoba Xiong escaped from the city, and it didn't make her feel too anxious.

She must get rid of the malignant tumor of the four major armies.Regardless of whether these people leave Zhongxing Mansion or not, in the end the two groups cannot avoid the situation where life and death are facing each other.

It's just that after these people leave the Zhongxing Mansion, the rebels of the four major military divisions will no longer have any worries.

Not long after Zhongsun Zhouting left, Li Xiushu sent a letter to Changsha again.

She wrote in the letter that Zhao Dongting set up a plan to destroy the four major military divisions.

In fact, it is not all bad for Li Xiushu that the members of the major families escaped from the Zhongxing Mansion.

Because only when the four major military divisions are completely defeated, the Xixia army will be even more powerless to confront the Song army.This battle between Song and Xia has not yet begun, but the ending is already predictable.

Xixia will lose.

And this is exactly what Li Xiushu wanted.

She knew that only by surrendering to the Song Dynasty could Xixia continue.

And only when Xixia is facing desperation, Zhongsun Qifu and those veteran officials will willingly vote for Song Dynasty when they are desperate.At that time, it can only be said that the general trend is the trend, no wonder she is Li Xiushu.

A few days passed by.

Although the Zhongxing Mansion sent many forbidden troops and experts out of the city to search, but they could not find traces of Tuobaxiong and others.

The major families have intertwined relationships in Xixia, leaving the Zhongxing Mansion is like a dragon entering the sea, and it is obviously not easy to catch them again.

In Changsha City.

Zhongsun Guge brought Li Xiushu's letter to see Zhao Dongting again.

Knowing that the four major armies overthrew the Song Dynasty, his face was full of darkness.Goodbye to Zhao Dongting, it means that he no longer has the confidence to be hysterical before.

Apparently even he thought Xixia would lose in this battle.

When Zhao Dongting saw him like this, of course he deliberately made an appearance of complacency.

Before Zhongsun Guge could say anything, Zhao Dongting said, "Master Zhongsun came up to ask for surrender on behalf of the emperor of your dynasty?"

Zhongsun Guge only snorted softly, but dared not say anything.

Then he took out Li Xiushu's letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Dongting, and said stiffly: "This is a letter from my majesty, who asked me to deliver it to you."

Zhao Dongting accepted the letter with a slight smile.

I took it apart and looked at it.

There was no surprise in his eyes.

When he first learned that the four major military regions had surrendered to Song Dynasty, he had expected that the major families would make moves in Zhongxing Mansion.

It is impossible for them to abandon those family members in the city.

It's just that he didn't expect that the big families would make such a big commotion.

In the letter, Li Xiushu described in detail the process of the major families breaking out of the Zhongxing Mansion.

A total of more than ten real martial arts realms fell from both sides, which made Zhao Dongting a little bit heartbroken for Li Xiushu and Li Zou Xiaoniang.

This is their foundation after all.

But of course he wouldn't take it too seriously.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Dongting just waved his hand and let Zhongsun Guge leave again.

Then he leisurely went back to the bedroom.

Xixia should be able to say that the overall situation has been settled.

Outside Chengdu.

She Tuoli, Tuobawu, Sikongshe, and Wuge learned that the tribe had successfully escaped from the Zhongxing Mansion, and without any doubts, they formally raised the anti-Xia banner.

This is not just about defeating the Empress, but completely opposing the Xixia Kingdom.

Then, the four of them led the army towards Longzhou City.There is a great intention to confront Heliancheng and Qu Rujian's army.

This incident soon caused a stir in Xixia territory.

After Qu Rujian and He Liancheng led their troops close to Longzhou City, they dared not go further south.The whole army was stationed in Qingchuan County in the north of Longzhou City.

In this battle of Xixia attacking Song Dynasty, before they reached the territory of Song State, they could only be defeated and turned from attack to defense.

But this is also impossible.

Both He Liancheng and Qu Rujian knew very well that the four major armies had surrendered to the Song State, and if they still went to Chengdu Mansion now, they would be seeking their own death.

In the Xixia Dynasty, everyone was in danger.

Empress Li Xiushu was slightly pale after learning about this incident.

Because she only thought that the four major military commanders would want to abolish her throne, but she never thought that the four major military commanders would choose to overthrow the Song Dynasty.

The situation changed in an instant.

In the case of the defeat of the Song Dynasty by the four major armies, not to mention the armies led by He Liancheng and Qu Rujian, even the entire Xixia army combined would be difficult to resist.

If Zhao Dongting is willing, he can take advantage of this opportunity to destroy Xixia without any effort.

He can even take over all parts of Xixia very smoothly.

Li Xiushu was somewhat worried.

Worried that Zhao Dongting would no longer act according to the original arrangement with her.Worried about whether Zhao Dongting can still stick to his original intention in the face of such an excellent opportunity.

Because if Zhao Dongting wants to seize the ruling power of Xixia now, she has no strength to resist.

After receiving the letter from the front line, Li Xiushu hurried to the main hall to summon all the courtiers.

When all the ministers gathered in the main hall, they all changed their faces when they learned that the four major armies raised the banner of defeating Xia.

In the face of the absolute disparity in strength, it is difficult for anyone to be lucky.

Sitting on the throne, Li Xiushu spoke softly, and said: "The four major military commanders have fallen to the Song Dynasty. When our Western Xia is in danger, what good strategies do you guys have?"

All the officials in the court looked at me, I looked at you, and finally their eyes fell on Zhongsun Qifu's face.

However, this time, Zhongsun Qifu hunched over slightly, but remained silent.

With the current situation in Xixia, it is difficult for him to resolve it.Unless it is Xixia who appears as talented as the emperor of Song Dynasty.

But in the past dynasties, when did someone like the Song Emperor appear?
Even if Xixia can have military geniuses, but in the case of a huge gap in firearms, it is impossible to think about it.

The development of this matter has undoubtedly exceeded the expectations of these courtiers.

They originally supported the empress's use of troops, but they just wanted to declare their position to Da Song, and they never thought about really breaking with Da Song.

But now, it is difficult to ride a tiger.

Song Dynasty has all the advantages, and it is difficult for them to occupy it.

After a long time, there was a minister in the hall who said: "Your Majesty, otherwise, let's seek peace from the Song Kingdom..."

After speaking, he sighed softly.

Li Xiushu's willow eyebrows immediately stood upright, "My dynasty's army has not yet invaded the land of Song Dynasty, so asking for peace, won't it become the laughing stock of the world?"

At this time, He Liandong, who was the doctor of Yushitai, finally opened his mouth, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if there is a fight, it will not be easy if we want to seek peace."

He had a very serious look on his face.

When he thought about it, not to mention a fight, even now, Song Guo had little hope of agreeing to their peace.

As for maintaining the dignity of Xixia, it is now just a joke.

Isn't it stupid to let the country perish in order to maintain dignity?
Li Xiushu's heart moved slightly.

She never thought that these old ministers would have the thought of asking for peace now.

If so, maybe the arrangement between her and Zhao Dongting can be realized more easily.

Her eyes fell on Zhongsun Qifu's head, and she said, "Teacher, what do you think?"

Zhongsun Qifu raised his head lightly, and sighed softly, "If you don't fight, the country will lose face. If you fight, the mountains and rivers will be broken..."

Li Xiushu said: "Then what do you mean, grand master... also want me to seek peace from Song?"

Zhongsun Qifu could only express his opinion, "The old minister believes that as long as the Song Dynasty does not raise too excessive conditions, it is the right choice to seek peace now."

Li Xiushu fell silent.

All the officials in the hall looked at her, waiting for her statement.

He Liandong and Zhongsun Qifu both chose to seek peace from the Song State, and of course they would not raise any objections.

After all, everyone can see the situation clearly now.

After a long time, Li Xiushu sighed softly, "Then ask Da Song for peace..."

Saying this on the mouth, I am afraid that I am secretly laughing in my heart.

After the dynasty was over, Li Xiushu brought He Liandong and Zhongsun Qifu to the imperial study room, and then sent another letter to Changsha.
