The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1322 Happy Midnight Announcement
Xixia Zhongxing Mansion.

When the army of Chengdu Prefecture in the Great Song Dynasty was in motion, the situation here was the same.Only compared with Chengdu Mansion, it looks more dignified and anxious.

All the major city gates of Zhongxing Mansion are open.

Since Zhongsun Zhouting returned to the city with the remaining 4 forbidden troops two days ago, soldiers and civilians from all over the country have been flocking to Zhongxing Mansion in an endless stream.

The Great Xia army marched south from the Great Wall, and now it is on the verge of Shunzhou City.The breath of war filled the sky over the entire Western Xia.

There are soldiers guarding the corridors outside the gates of the major cities, conducting strict checks on the people entering the city.

The city is already overcrowded.

On the streets, there are people rubbing shoulders and heels everywhere.

They came here to take refuge in Zhongxing Mansion.Although Zhongxing Mansion will surely become the target of public criticism, for these common people, there is always a sense of security under the feet of the Son of Heaven.

At the head of Nancheng, the empress Li Xiushu was wearing a dragon robe and standing under a big golden umbrella.

She looked to the south, her pretty face was solemn, and her eyes were filled with worry.

Although the Daxia army on the verge of Zhongxing Mansion is only [-], but with Luotuo's extreme state in the ranks, it should not be underestimated.Whether this Zhongxing Mansion can hold on is still hard to say.

And if the Zhongxing Mansion is destroyed, it will be a disaster for the entire Xixia.

Looking at the people in the city who entered the city in panic, Li Xiushu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Beside her, Zhongsun Qifu, He Liandong and others also sighed softly.He Liandong's eyes were still red and swollen.

The death of Helian City really dealt a great blow to him.

But is it their fault that Xixia is facing such a situation?

Li Xiushu, Zhongsun Qifu and others felt guilty, but they couldn't figure out where they were wrong.Perhaps, not doing well enough is a mistake in itself.

Over the years, Li Xiushu, Zhongsun Qifu and others have really worked hard for this Western Xia and made every effort to cure it.

Li Xiushu was always on guard against the four major military divisions, and it is still developing to such a situation, it can only be said that it is due to the current situation.If the Yuan Dynasty hadn't developed arms, it would have been impossible for the Great Xia to appear.

It is obviously meaningless to say this now.

After being in a trance for a long time, Li Xiushu suddenly turned her head to look at Zhongsun Zhouting, and asked, "How many soldiers have gathered in the Zhongxing mansion now?"

Zhongsun Zhouting returned in a big defeat, but she didn't punish him, and let Zhongsun Zhouting take on the important task of guarding Zhongxing Mansion.Because she understands that the failure of the Great Wall is not attributable to Zhongsun Zhouting.

Furthermore, if Zhongsun Zhouting is punished now, it will only be more detrimental to the situation.Even, it may make some ministers feel dissatisfied, so they change.

Zhongsun Zhouting replied from the side: "Back to the emperor, apart from the more than 2 forbidden troops, there are also [-] defenders in the city and [-] guards in the Yiwei Division. Besides, Jingzhou, Huaizhou and Shunzhou came here The total number of King Qin's soldiers... is about [-]. The total number of soldiers in the city is about [-]."

"Ah."

Li Xiushu nodded lightly, "Where are the troops from Gansu Military Division and Xiangqing Military Division?"

Zhongsun Zhouting said: "It should be about two days before we can reach the imperial city."

"What about the food and grass?" Li Xiushu asked again.

This time it was Zhongsun Qifu who answered, "All the food and grass in the cities around the imperial city have been gathered, which should be able to supply an army of 15 for about half a year."

Li Xiushu heard the words, but there was no movement again.

Half a year is really not a long time.

It can be seen that the background of Xixia is indeed shallow.

If it weren't for the repeated battles in recent years, even the food hoarded in the Zhongxing Mansion would not only be able to support the consumption of an army of 15 for half a year.

It's just that food and grass should be enough for the past six months.

After all, there is not enough food and grass in Xixia, and the same is true for Daxia.It is even possible that the grain hoarded in the country is not as much as Xixia.

It is almost impossible for this battle to last for half a year.

Daxia does not have enough capital to support the army for such a long time.

It wasn't until dusk that Li Xiushu led everyone back to Zicheng.

More and more people gathered in the Zhongxing Mansion, which also made the atmosphere of war in the sky more and more intense.Like a boulder, pressing on the hearts of everyone.

Another two days passed.

The [-] soldiers of the Gansu Army Division finally rushed to Zhongxing Mansion from the territory of the Xiangqing Army Division.Along with them, there are nearly [-] defenders in Xiangqing Military Division.

The [-] soldiers of the Xiangqing Army Division guarding Dingzhou also rushed to Zhongxing Mansion, along with [-] Dingzhou defenders.

By this time, the several cities around Zhongxing Mansion were almost no different from empty cities.

The number of soldiers gathered in Zhongxing Mansion reached about 17.

It seems that this is more than enough to deal with the army of [-] white horses, even if Luo Tuo is there.But Li Xiushu and others are still in a dignified mood.

The military commander of Baimaqiang Town has now threatened to go out of Shunzhou City. If there is no accident, Shunzhou City, which has no soldiers guarding it, will soon fall.Afterwards, the army of the Baimaqiang Township's army will surely drive straight in, approaching the Zhongxing Mansion.And in the north of Zhongxing Mansion, there is also the army of Heishan Weifu Military Division, which is also rushing towards Zhongxing Mansion at this time.

Their two armies combined may have nearly 10 people, and if there are experts like Luotuo, they will be able to pose a threat to Zhongxing Mansion.

Not to mention, the Xiping Army Division and the Yan Army Division of Heishui Town will never stand idly by.

This is a decisive battle between Xixia and Daxia. You can imagine it, and Daxia will do its best.

If Da Song could not send troops to assist the Zhongxing Mansion in time, the final winner of this battle would undoubtedly be Da Xia.

Fortunately, on this night, a carrier pigeon finally landed in the palace.

The night was very cold.

The night wind was howling, and it was bitingly cold.

Holding a lantern in his left hand and a bamboo tube tightly in his right hand, a eunuch hurried towards Li Xiushu's bedroom.

The emperor has already explained that if there is a letter from the Chengdu government, it will be discussed urgently.

Soon, the eunuch arrived outside Li Xiushu's bedroom.

Here it is blocked.

The battle was imminent, and Li Xiushu had suffered the loss of the major military commanders forcibly breaking out of the city before, but now there are many guards inside and outside the palace.

In addition to the hundreds of guards of the Yiwei Division serving as clear sentries, there are also dozens of Tingchao Mansion enshrined as secret sentries.

Around her room, there are a total of eight real martial arts Tingchao Mansions enshrined and guarded.

In his room, eight female sword servants even guarded the bedside.

After the eunuch was blocked, he hurriedly said to General Na Yiwei, "There is an urgent report from Chengdu Mansion."

The general did not dare to hesitate, even though it was late at night, he still hurriedly walked towards the bedroom.

Outside Li Xiushu's room, he shouted to the inside: "Your Majesty, a secret letter from Chengdu Mansion has arrived."

In the house, Li Xiushu was already fast asleep.

Several pretty female sword servants still have their eyes open.

Hearing this, Li Xiushu had to be woken up.

Li Xiushu's eyes were a little dazed, but when she heard that there was a letter from the Chengdu Mansion, she suddenly woke up.

There was a little excitement on her face, and she said, "Hurry up and show me."

A female sword servant walked out of the house.

Soon, Li Xiushu's chuckle was remembered in the room.

She held the letter in her hand, with a smile on her pretty face.

Zhao Dongting really did not disappoint her.

The letter was sent back by Ke Shuyuan, and it said that the Shuzhong Military Region had received the imperial decree, and the deputy commander Zhang Guangbao was gathering troops in the Chengdu mansion, intending to aid Xixia.

Moreover, the six imperial guards of Tianshang, Tianmeng, Tiankui, Tianqiao, Tiangui, and Tianbao of the Shuzhong Military Region were dispatched together.

This is definitely an extremely powerful force.

Although all armies now have firearms, it is difficult for the imperial army of the Song Dynasty to have the same advantage as before.But it's not a joke that the Great Song Dynasty's imperial army has won every battle over the years.

Just the prestige of the imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty made Li Xiushu very excited as if she had taken a reassurance.At the same time, it should also make the army of the Baima Qiang Township Commander fearful.

That night, Li Xiushu, who was no longer anxious, was too excited to fall back asleep.

The next day was the morning of Dahei, so she finished washing and rushed to the main hall.

After Zhongsun Qifu and other officials had all arrived at the main hall for the early court, they finished the ceremony, and when they looked up, they saw Li Xiushu on the throne smiling.

In the past few days, Li Xiushu had never shown such a relaxed expression.

Zhongsun Qifu was slightly moved, guessing something in his heart, but he didn't make a sound.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiushu said with a smile: "Everyone, Song Dynasty is ready to send troops to help me in Xixia. The [-] forbidden troops in the Central Shu Military Region are gathering, and they will come to Zhongxing Mansion soon."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all happy when they heard the words.
