The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 444
Upon hearing this, Li Ran hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, send someone to Xingqing Mansion for help as soon as possible."

So the scout came here in a hurry, but now that he came, he was not allowed to enter the city.

Outside the city gate, the scout waited anxiously, but he was anxious, but the people on the city wall were not in a hurry. At this time, the gate of the palace was closed, and the general guarding the city was not qualified to face the saint directly, so he passed on the news first to the Privy Council.

The Privy Council envoy Liu Yuan was shocked when he received the news, and rushed to the palace overnight to face the saint.

Li Qianshun had already fallen asleep at this time, and he was a bit unhappy when someone broke into the palace overnight for two consecutive days.

"Lord Liu, what important matter happened that made you so anxious to come to the palace overnight to see me?" Li Qianshun said in a nonchalant manner.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. There is an urgent report from Dingzhou City, saying that a large number of Mongolian troops have appeared in the north. Now they are approaching the city. Dingzhou City urgently requests reinforcements." Liu Yuan said anxiously to Li Qianshun.

When Li Qianshun heard the news, he was lying on the bed leisurely, but at this moment he sat up straight away, frowned and said, "What did you say? How did this happen? The Mongolian army is here? How did they come here?" ?”

Li Qianshun asked so many questions in a row, which made Liu Yuan a little confused. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to send reinforcements to reinforce. There are only more than [-] defenders in Dingzhou City. The Mongolian army is coming fiercely. Know if they can stand it."

"The specific situation is that the scout is still outside. I just ordered the city gate to be opened to let him in. I think he will come here soon." Liu Yuan said to Li Qianshun.

Li Qianshun began to walk back and forth in the room, and the scouts came over to deliver a message, but Li Qianshun needed to think about how to deal with it next.

Originally, in order to prepare for the sudden attack of the Song Dynasty, the Xixia Kingdom concentrated the main forces of the whole country in the east, but now it is too late to retreat if they want to retreat.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that after Feng Ren Duobaozhong died, there is actually a situation where there is no general available in the Xixia Kingdom.

"Now, the most urgent thing is to send troops to reinforce, Mr. Liu, in your opinion, who is more suitable?" Li Qianshun said to Liu Yuan.

The Fengren family of the Western Xia Kingdom has been loyal and good for generations, but they were killed by Li Ganshun. Who will be sent now?Li Changqi?Liu Yuanxin rejected it in his heart. To be honest, Liu Yuanxin was still not very optimistic about Li Changqi in his heart.

"Chen..." Liu Yuan murmured, but besides Li Changqi, he had no one else to recommend. At this moment, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Can Li Changqi?"

Li Qianshun stared at Liu Yuan, nodded, and said, "Immediately declare Li Changqi to enter the palace."

The scouts came into the palace soon, but Li Changqi hadn't arrived yet.

"How many people came from the Mongolian army?" Liu Yuan asked.

"Your Majesty, outside the city of Dingzhou, there are people all over the place. There are countless people. I don't know how many people there are." The scout said with a guilty conscience.

After hearing this, Li Qianshun frowned, obviously not very satisfied with the answer, and said, "Why did the Mongolian army suddenly appear outside Dingzhou City?"

To be honest, asking the scouts this question was a little difficult, and sure enough, the scouts were bewildered and subconsciously replied, "I don't know how these Mongolian soldiers came here, they just appeared in Dingzhou as if they fell from the sky." outside the city."

"It's a bunch of nonsense!" Li Qianshun was furious when he heard what the soldier said. If the soldier said something like this, it would be very bad for the morale of the army. No wonder Li Qianshun would be furious after hearing this.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty's atonement, villain, villain, I don't know how this Mongolian army came?" The scout was a little nervous when he saw Li Qianshun, but when he saw the emperor was angry, he became even more nervous.

Liu Yuan hurriedly said at this time: "Your Majesty, we have never been prepared for the north. In addition, the northern area is sparsely populated. When we want to come to the Mongolian army, it is normal not to be discovered."

Li Qianshun nodded, he was noncommittal about what Liu Yuan said, took a deep breath, and said to Liu Yuan: "The Mongols brought a large army to invade, and it must be because they are not good."

Li Qianshun suddenly thought at this time, it seems that at this time yesterday, Zhong Dao of Honglu Temple came over and said that the Song Dynasty sent an envoy, saying that the Xixia Kingdom had a disaster of destroying the country. Originally, it sounded like this was just a joke, but Thinking about it now, this family came here to tip off the news.

Although I don't know how the Song Dynasty knew about this matter, but thinking about it, the crisis of the Xixia Kingdom this time is indeed very serious.

"Xuan Zhongdao enters the palace immediately!" After thinking of this, Li Qianshun immediately ordered that if Xixia really encountered a crisis, he must ask Song Dynasty for help at this time.

Liu Yuan didn't know why Li Qianshun suddenly announced Zhongdao's entry into the palace, but it's been so long now, Li Changqi hasn't entered the palace yet?Li Qianshun was already somewhat dissatisfied.

Li Changqi hasn't entered the palace yet, mainly because Li Changqi's servants haven't found him yet.

It turned out that Li Changqi went out to drink flower wine tonight, and was not in the mansion at all, so the little eunuch who came to announce the decree was anxiously waiting back and forth in the mansion.

"Have you not found the young prince yet?" The little eunuch said anxiously, "Your Majesty is very anxious. If you make Your Majesty wait for a long time, Your Majesty will be angry."

"Don't worry, father-in-law. I have already sent my family to look for it. It shouldn't be long before someone can find it." The manager of the mansion carefully comforted him, but he was still a little uncertain, and then turned his head to the person next to him. Said: "Send more people to look for it, and the prince must be found."

A group of servants went out in a hurry again, and after a while, finally one servant came back, and the person was found.

"What are you waiting for if you find the person, hurry up and enter the palace to face the saint!" the little eunuch said anxiously.

"It's just that although this person was found, the prince..."

"My lord, what happened to him?"

"My lord, he's drunk!" the famous family Ding said helplessly.

"Drunk? Why are you still drunk at a critical moment? Now His Majesty wants to see him, no matter whether he is drunk or not, he must go to the face saint now, otherwise His Majesty will blame him, that is not something the prince can afford .” The little eunuch said anxiously.
