The prime minister and the privy envoy said so, Xia Chongzong finally calmed down and said, "Then tell me, what should we do now?"

Li Lingyuan frowned, he was just a civil servant and didn't know anything about military equipment, so he couldn't help looking at Privy Envoy Meng Liang.In fact, it wasn't just him at the moment, countless ministers in the hall were all looking at Meng Liang.

Meng Liang pondered for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, as of today, I have three strategies to offer to Your Majesty."

Xia Chongzong hurriedly said: "What are the three strategies?"

Meng Liang said: "First, there are still 20 elite soldiers in the Zhongxing Mansion! It's just that these [-] elite soldiers have not received military pay for many years! I advise His Majesty to open the treasury immediately and pay the general's salary! Moreover, we not only have to pay the outstanding soldiers The military salary will be distributed, and the military salary of the next year or even the next year will be distributed to boost morale and make the soldiers fight bravely! Second, His Majesty should personally go to the city wall to supervise the battle, in order to boost morale! Third, Han soldiers It is so powerful that in just a few days, more than [-] cities in the north have been conquered. Now it is difficult to stop the Han people only by relying on the Zhongxing Mansion. We should order the whole country to serve the king! The Han people came from the north through the desert, it must be Lone soldiers go deep, their numbers are limited! When reinforcements arrive, we will be safe!"

Xia Chongzong kept nodding, and said: "Yes, what you said is very reasonable! Aiqing is worthy of being the pillar of the country! I can promise you the first two now, but the last one, we have no reinforcements available now! Zhongxing Mansion Most of the troops in the surrounding states and counties are sent to the southern border!"

Meng Liang said decisively: "Now we have to call back the soldiers and horses on the southern border!"

Li Lingyuan frowned and said, "The south is fighting a war! If we call back the soldiers and horses from the south now, I'm afraid there will be mistakes on the southern border, and we may lose a lot of territory!"

Meng Liang said: "Is it the territories in the south that are important, or the Zhongxing Mansion, or Your Majesty?"

Li Lingyuan was taken aback, and said, "This..."

Xia Chongzong said at this moment: "Meng Aiqing is right! Today, we only have to bring back all the 20 heavy troops from the south! I have made up my mind. We will send people to the south immediately before the Han people encircle Zhongxing Mansion, and issue an order immediately." To the army there!"

This Xia Chongzong is worthy of being a famous emperor in history, and in some respects, he is also quite wise!The reason why he said before that he wanted to escape from Zhongxing Mansion was just a moment of terror!Calm down now, he is extremely decisive in dealing with things!

Li Lingyuan was silent for a long time and finally nodded. He also knew that sending heavy troops back now was the only way to solve the threat of the Zhongxing Mansion.

Xixia is the same as the Song Dynasty, eunuchs have a very high status. Xia Chongzong immediately ordered the chief eunuch in the palace to go to the southern border and read out the imperial decree, so that the 20 troops from the south will return immediately to deal with the Han army!

******

It was getting darker and darker, and the snow was falling harder and harder.

Xia Chongzong couldn't take care of rest at this moment, he led his group of officials out of the palace and came to the main street of Zhongxing Mansion.

At this moment, countless people in the Zhongxing Mansion already knew the news that Liangshan's army was coming. These people were hiding in their homes and dared not come out at all.Xia Chongzong actually sent people to knock on the doors of the people one by one, and he even visited these people one by one in person.

Those common people were stunned when they saw Xia Chongzong's arrival, and then they were very excited!They all knelt down on the ground to welcome Xia Chongzong's arrival.

"Hurry up, everyone! Now the Han people are going to kill Zhongxing Mansion, and I can't defend the city alone! Even relying on the army can't protect the city! Now I need your help! Are you willing?" Xia Chongzong put a The middle-aged man helped him up and said softly.

"Yes! Of course I am willing! For His Majesty, I am willing to go through fire and water and die!" The middle-aged man said excitedly!In the past, he had never seen the emperor of Xixia at all, but now that the emperor came to him, one can imagine his excitement!

"Very good, call out all the men in your family. Let's go to the city wall to protect our own homeland! If the women in your family want to, they can cook some meals and send them to the city wall to comfort the soldiers!" Xia Xia Chong Zongdao.

"Yes!" The middle-aged man said hastily.

After Xia Chongzong left this house, he came to another house and continued to visit!He walked from house to house, constantly encouraging the party members of Zhongxing Mansion to let the party members of Zhongxing Mansion come out to defend the city!Gradually, not only men from poor families came out, but also those from rich and noble families, many masters and young masters also took weapons and headed towards the city wall of Zhongxing Mansion!

This Xia Chongzong was originally a British lord in history, and he also opened up territories!In such a dangerous moment, apart from being a little timid in the palace at the beginning, at this moment he unexpectedly showed incomparable qualities!

In the middle of the night, he came to the city wall in person!

At this moment on the city wall, countless soldiers have gathered!When the soldiers saw Xia Chongzong coming, they all knelt down on the ground.

"All officers and men are flattened! Come, bring the things here!" Xia Chongzong said.

After Xia Chongzong finished speaking, dozens of guards came over carrying huge boxes one after another!Xia Chongzong ordered people to open these boxes!

Under the light of the torches, boxes of silver and copper coins appeared in front of them!In addition to these, there are some treasures that seem to be treasured in the palace, emitting a faint golden light and purple light, and they are actually made of gold and precious stones!

"Soldiers, I also know that I have owed you a lot of military pay in the past two years! But the country is difficult, and there are too many places to spend money! Today, I took out all the treasures in the palace, and I not only I want to give everyone the military salary owed to everyone, and I will also distribute next year’s military salary to everyone! This time the Han invaded, and our Xixia was in danger, everyone should go forward bravely! This time, if anyone performs well, whether it is an official position or It's taels of silver, I will never be stingy! Come on, send these things away first!" Xia Chongzong said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The soldiers on the city wall cheered, and many soldiers fell to their knees on the ground again.

Li Lingyuan followed Xia Chongzong. At this moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Your Majesty is wise, but unfortunately he is a little lazy! If His Majesty is like this all year round, then it will be fine!"

This Xia Chongzong is indeed a good emperor, but since he ascended the throne, he has been having fun in the palace for a long time.Sometimes, there are important state affairs that need to be dealt with, and Li Lingyuan can't even find Xia Chongzong.

Meng Liang who was beside him shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is the Lord of England! Your Majesty is not lazy... There are many things that His Majesty can't do."

After more than a hundred years, Xixia is already rotten!This country is the same as the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, with political corruption and military degeneration!Moreover, since Xia Chongzong succeeded to the throne, the Empress Dowager first controlled the government, and then there were powerful officials such as King Jin. It was not until the past two years that Xia Chongzong gradually took control of the entire country!But in just two years, it is almost impossible for him to make changes in this country!The bureaucracy in this country is really too strong. Even if Li Lingyuan and Meng Liang are members of the bureaucracy, it is impossible for them to tolerate Xia Chongzong's wanton political reform.Sometimes Xia Chongzong would rather disappear than deal with state affairs.

Li Lingyuan nodded silently, he was silent for a while, and said: "If we can repel the Han people this time, I will definitely assist His Majesty in reforming politics and let Xixia restore the style of the founding era. Liangshan!"

Meng Liangliang next to him nodded, and he swore secretly that in the future, he would definitely give up his family's interests and devote himself to serving the country.With such an emperor around, it is not impossible for Xixia to regain its glory.

Gradually, more and more soldiers and armed people came to the city wall!At this time, the number of soldiers and civilians on the city wall had reached 10!

Everyone was waiting nervously. However, the next morning, when the sky was getting bright, Liangshan's army hadn't arrived yet.

It was not until noon the next day that the Liangshan army arrived late. At this time, there were already 20 Xixia soldiers and civilians on the city wall of the Zhongxing Mansion, and countless defensive equipment had also been moved to the city wall. The Zhongxing Mansion had already prepared everything. Prepare, just wait for Liangshan to attack the city.

Yue Fei and Hu Yanting walked around the city, carefully observing the defense situation of Zhongxing Mansion.

Hu Yanting was secretly astonished, and said: "The Zhongxing Mansion is so well-defended, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take it down."

Yue Fei nodded, but he quickly sneered and said: "We are just scaring them, it is not time to really attack the city! If we really want to attack the city, we would not have rested in Dingzhou City for more than a day yesterday , we were able to come here yesterday evening, and we were able to launch an attack overnight!"

He gave Hu Yanting a few words, and then he headed towards the north gate of Zhongxing Mansion alone!After arriving there, he pointed the iron gun in his hand forward and shouted loudly, "Where is the Emperor Xixia? Come out and talk to me!"
