Seeing the contempt of Lord Wei Ming, Yu Jie's heart soared with anger.

"Old General, your words are unfounded. Let's wait and see whether we can defeat the Tatar army. There are 40,000 to 50,000 frontier troops on both sides of Lizhou. Including the Sichuan and Lizhou camps, the number is no less than 100,000. There are also thousands of large and small artillery pieces. There are hundreds of thousands of sky-shaking thunders at the door. No matter how powerful the Tatar army's cavalry and shooting is, it still depends on whether their bows and arrows can break our army's firearms."

Yu Jie spoke coldly, not giving Wei Mingling any face.

Do you really think that the current Song Army is still the old Huang Li?

"Since the Song army was so fierce, why did it lose to the Jin people? Could it be said that the Tatar army was vulnerable and all idiots? General Yu, you don't think that I, the king of Daxia, are fools, do you? The Song Emperor said he would save him I, Daxia, where are his people? It’s not just lip service, right?”

Weiming Linggong has no doubts about his own judgment.

As a defeated general and prisoner of Genghis Khan's men, he knew better than anyone else the impact of the Mongolian cavalry and was as fearful of them as a tiger.

"Do you think that anyone like you, the majestic prince, will be captured alive by the Tatar army? If it were me, I would have committed suicide on the battlefield. General Xia Guoliang, you have harmed your troops and humiliated your country, and you are living in an ignoble way. Who do you think you are? A good general?"

Yu Jie's anger rose and he responded unceremoniously.

According to what Weiming Linggong said, the Song army was a paper tiger, and his words were all nonsense. The emperor's sending troops to rescue Xia was also a lie.

This not only insulted the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, but also disrespected the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

And this is something he absolutely cannot accept.

"Yu Jie, who do you think you are?...You are too deceptive!"

Wei Mingling's face turned red and he yelled angrily.

"Am I bullying others too much? You have repeatedly belittled our Song Dynasty officers and soldiers, insulted my officers and men, and disrespected my Song Dynasty Emperor. Who do you think you are? Opening your mouth and opening the city to surrender, are you a lackey of the Tatars or a workmanship of Genghis Khan?"

Yu Jie sneered and fought back, tit for tat.

In the hearts of these Jinling Martial Arts Hall students, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is extremely sacred, with the righteousness between the monarch and his ministers, and the relationship between teachers and students. Anyone who dares to disrespect the emperor and principal will definitely not show any mercy.

"Okay, General Yu, both generals, please stop saying a word and be patient!"

Seeing that Wei Mingling was blushing and seemed to be about to fight back again, Luo Shichang quickly stopped the two of them.

Weiming Linggong, the so-called good general of Xixia, was completely embarrassed in front of outsiders.

What's the point of continuing this endless debate?

"General Yu, calm down and be patient. Are you sure that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty will lead his troops to rescue Xia?"

Li Sui said solemnly to Yu Jie.

Genghis Khan is about to die of illness, but if the Song army no longer rescues Xixia, Xixia will still be unable to escape the fate of destruction.

"Your Majesty, if I, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, had not come to rescue me, I would be willing to commit suicide in front of Your Majesty to thank Daxia!"

Yu Jie spoke impassionedly and sternly.

If the emperor had not come in person, how could it have been possible to annihilate tens of thousands of Mongolian troops and capture Lintao Mansion?

"General Yu, I'm serious! It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this!"

Li Sui was startled, and quickly comforted him with gentle words, calming down secretly.

"General Yu, I believe you! I will tell the Xingling army and people to hold on for another half month. Let's all wait and see."

No matter what, we cannot surrender to the Mongolian army easily. Your own destiny is still in your own hands.

"Yu Jie thanks Da Xiazi!"

Yu Jie cupped his fists in salute and let out a sigh of relief.

After more than eight months of perseverance, we finally saw the dawn of victory.

The emperor's principal finally sent his troops to rescue him.

Wei Mingling's face was ashen and he didn't even look at Yu Jie. They both turned their heads and ignored each other.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Han is back and is asking for an audience outside the palace!"

When the palace people came to report, Li Sui couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Quick! Call him in!"

Luo Shichang couldn't wait and shouted loudly.

The two men were left behind to conduct reconnaissance. Unexpectedly, they would come back so soon.

Unless something big happened, Zhang Han would never rush back to Zhongxing Mansion day and night.

"Your Majesty, the Song army has captured Lintao Prefecture, Taozhou and Lanzhou. The former army Lu Wende's troops have occupied Yingli and Xishou Baotai Military Division in Jiuqu of the Yellow River. The Emperor of Song Dynasty personally marched and led an army of 100,000 to station in The border between Xia and Jin is on the line between Lanzhou and Lintao Prefecture. The Song army asked the villain to come back and report to His Majesty. Please be patient and the Emperor of Song will lead his troops across the Yellow River to rescue Daxia!"

Zhang Han came in and knelt on the ground to report. Everyone in the Xixia emperor's hall, including Yu Jie, was relieved and beaming with joy.

"I, Daxia...can be saved!"

Luo Shichang couldn't bear it any longer, and burst into tears.

Yingli is located in Jiuqu of the Yellow River and is only three hundred miles away from Lingzhou City. Whether it is cavalry or waterway, it can be reached in one day. The blockade of the Mongolian army was finally broken.

"Long live the Great Xia! Long live the Great Song!"

Li Zhong'e burst into tears and murmured to himself.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty personally conquered the country and did what he said. Genghis Khan wanted to destroy Xixia, so just dream.

The people of Xixia finally have a way to survive.

At this time, Emperor Xixia Li Sui calmed down.

Yingli and Xishou Baotai Military Division were both Xixia territories, occupied by the Mongolian army. Will the Song army be so fierce?

"Zhang Han, have you ever witnessed with your own eyes that the Emperor of Song Dynasty went on a military expedition with one hundred thousand soldiers under his command?"

Weiming Linggong frowned and asked loudly.

"General, what I saw was Wang Jian, the commander of the Lizhou West Road of the Great Song Dynasty, and Lu Wende, the commander of the Lizhou West Road. I did not see the Emperor of Song Dynasty. There were at least tens of thousands of Song troops outside Lanzhou City, with many artillery, even Yingli and Li The Xishou Baotai Military Division also has five thousand and ten thousand Song troops each. General Wang Jian said that the Song Emperor is now stationed in Lintao City and will send his army north. The villain will come back first to report the news, and the second grader will follow the Song army to scout I went to Lintao Mansion to meet Emperor Song, and I think I will get a reply soon."

Zhang Han didn't dare to hide anything and spoke out one by one.

"Zhang Han, have you ever told the Song Army about our lack of food in Daxia?"

Li Zhong'e nodded repeatedly and asked impatiently.

If we don't transport food and grass, the soldiers and civilians of Zhongxing Mansion will starve to death.

"Back to your majesty, I have told General Wang Jian the truth about Daxia. According to General Wang Jian, there are millions of grains stored in Lizhou West Road. The Song Army is collecting ships to transport grain and grass to Lingzhou City by water. and Zhongxing Mansion. In the second year of high school, I went to Lintao Mansion to meet Emperor Song. The Song Dynasty will definitely rescue Daxia!"

Zhang Han's eyes lit up and he continued to report.

"Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty has an army of one hundred thousand, and the people are eating horse chews. I am already running out of supplies, let alone Daxia? In my opinion, it is better to send an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin for rescue."

Weiming Linggong was thoughtful, frowned and said it.

"Your Majesty, before I left the Lizhou camp, I, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, had already started to store grain on Lizhou West Road. Now our army has controlled the Yellow River ferry and stationed heavy troops on the border. The natural barrier between the Song Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty has been opened. I, the Supreme Emperor of the Song Dynasty, will not do those things that start at the end but end at the end."

Yu Jie's words made Mr. Wei Mingling blush, and he could no longer say anything else.

No matter how strong your words are, you will only bring humiliation to yourself.

"Your Majesty, I, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, have an army of 100,000, 50,000 of which are frontier troops on the two roads of Lizhou and Sichuan. Our army has been accumulating grain and grass in the frontier for more than a year. With the tens of millions of people in Sichuan, Isn’t it possible to provide food and drink for the remaining 50,000 troops? Your Majesty, it’s better to be patient and wait for good news.”

Yu Jie continued to explain Li Sui's doubts.

This Wei Mingling was targeting the Song Dynasty for his official business, and I believe there were many people like him in the Xixia court. The emperor once said that he would seize the horse-raising land in Hexi, which seemed to be quite prescient.

"Your Majesty, what General Yu said is true. When our dynasty was in danger, the Jin people stood on the sidelines and watched without sending a single soldier. Wouldn't it make me feel chilly in Daxia? The Song army was going through life and death, and the Song Emperor personally led the army to rescue him. Couldn't your Majesty still not Do you believe the Song people?"

Li Zhong'e glanced at Duke Wei Ming and played loudly.

Wei Mingling's narrow-mindedness spread out, and if the people of Song Dynasty were angry and cut off their food and grass, wouldn't it mean that the whole country would starve to death?

"Your Majesty, Emperor Song is thoughtful and far-sighted, which is indeed extraordinary. Now that the Song army has overcome the obstacles, there will be a beginning and an end. Your Majesty should appease the people and wait for good news."

Luo Shichang's face was red and he followed the instructions.

Xixia was able to survive, and it was not in vain for him to run around and work hard.

"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty is a man of great talent and strategy, and I am naturally convinced of him."

Li Sui's smile was obviously a little forced.

"I believe in Emperor Song, but in Zhongxing City, people are dying of hunger and illness every day. I feel very uneasy!"

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and I will always admire you. But your Majesty should believe in me, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Since he has sent us to support Daxia, he will not give up halfway."

After Yu Jie finished speaking, he bowed solemnly.

"What General Yu said is true, and I think so too."

Li Sui laughed, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Your Excellency Weiming, once the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty enter the Xingling Land and the Tatar army retreats, please report to me quickly!"

"I obey the decree!"

Weiming Linggong had a dark face and quickly obeyed the order.

Yu Jie's words were sarcastic and sarcastic, clearly saying that he judged a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. He was angry but could not refute.

"Luo Shichang, Li Zhonge, you go down and prepare good gifts. Once the Tatars retreat, you go to the Song Dynasty, meet the Song Emperor, and thank him in person. I will always remember the kindness of the rescue, and I, Daxia, will never forget it. "

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Yu Jie's expression softened significantly.

"General Yu, I'll take my leave first, and you can go down and have a good rest."

Li Sui was affable and turned around. The smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a look of deep sorrow.

After Li Sui left, Yu Jie, Luo Shichang and others exited the hall one after another.

Weiming Linggong walked in the front and talked softly with Zhang Han. Luo Shichang and Li Zhong'e walked together and talked softly. Yu Jie took a step back and walked behind alone.

"Xiangong Li, why does your Majesty seem not to be very happy when the Song army comes to help?"

Luo Shichang and Li Zhong'e left the hall and saw that there was no one around. Luo Shichang grabbed his best friend and asked suspiciously.

"Not only is His Majesty not very happy, but even Wei Minglinggong and other ministers can hardly smile!"

Li Zhong'e looked at the back of Duke Wei Ming and said softly.

As a minister in the same palace, he naturally knew what these people were worried about.

"Daxia has avoided the disaster of destroying the country, the people have survived, the monarchs and ministers are safe, and the country has been preserved. Your Majesty and Duke Wei Mingling are unhappy. Why is this?"

Luo Shichang continued to ask in surprise.

Wasn't the purpose of holding on for half a year and eight months just to prevent Xixia from being destroyed by the Mongolian army? Why did Li Sui and Weiming Linggong not feel as happy as they expected when they saw the dawn?

"Your Majesty is worried about driving the tiger away to welcome the wolf. The Song army can compete with the Tatar army, and even defeated the Subutai tribe, and gained a lot. When the Song army enters the Xia territory, it will be a blessing or a curse for me, Daxia. Not yet available…”

Li Zhong'e suddenly stopped and bowed his hands to Duke Wei Ming, who turned around and walked towards him, with a smile on his face.

"Ms. Li, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, tell me directly. I am all ears."

"Li Shangshu and Luo Xianggong, if you two meet the Song Emperor, you should try your best to persuade the Song army to withdraw from the Xia Kingdom as soon as possible. If Daxia wants to survive, it must rely on self-rescue."

After Weiming Linggong finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

"The Song army returned Xia Di, can you hold it? Hexi is still under Tatar rule, can you take it back?"

Li Zhong'e looked at the back of Lord Wei Ming and said helplessly.

"What do you mean by what Duke Weiming said? Are you afraid of driving the tiger away to welcome the wolf?"

Luo Shichang was stunned again by Wei Mingling's words.

Did the wise and powerful Emperor of the Song Dynasty also have other plans for Xixia?

"Ms. Luo, let's watch as you walk. Don't you still understand today that Daxia is no longer in name only?"

Li Zhong'e said again, with endless emotion in his words.

"Xianggong Li, why is this?"

Luo Shichang blurted out and immediately understood something in his heart.

"Xianggong Luo, have you ever seen a country with two cities? Daxia is not a tribe outside the grassland and the Great Wall. This is not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There are no princes, and only the strong can survive."

Sure enough, Li Zhong'e slowly said it. He looked around and lowered his voice.

"My Great Xia exists in name only, the sun sets in the Jin Kingdom, and the only one in the world who can compete with the Tatars is the Great Song Dynasty."

After Li Zhong'e finished speaking, he stopped, turned his head, with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands to Yu Jie who was following him.

"General Yu, I still have some inventory in my house. How about we have a drink with Mr. Luo?"

"Ms. Li, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful, so I'll excuse you!"

Yu Jie also smiled and replied with cupped fists.

He saw the reactions of Li Sui and Wei Mingling in his eyes, and he knew it well.

However, the Xixia state was weak, and at its current state, with the Mongols eyeing it from outside, it would be difficult to survive.

"General Yu, when I meet Emperor Song, please give me your kind words and persuade Emperor Song to transfer grain and grass as soon as possible. The people of Daxia are in urgent need of food and there is no need to delay!"

Luo Shichang followed and added.

"Xianggong Li and Xianggong Luo, I will do my best. However, if the Tatar army comes again, where will Daxia go?"

Yu Jie said sincerely, leaving both Li Zhonge and Luo Shichang speechless.

Now I have a lucky escape. If the Mongolian army comes again, does it mean that the Song army will send troops to rescue it?

Are the remaining hundreds of thousands of Daxia people still to be buried with the Daxia Dynasty?

Their Great Xia has died.
