Emperor Xia Li Qianshun announced in public:

"The commander-in-chief of the six squadrons of imperial siege will be succeeded by King Shu Li Renli..."

"I am benevolent, thank you Lord for your kindness!" Shu Wang Li Renli knelt down to express his gratitude.

Although he was crowned king last year, he had never had the opportunity to gain real power before.

Now, the Emperor of Xia publicly promoted him to the command of the Sixth Imperial Guard Division. He was the highest officer in charge of the more than 4,700 imperial guards who defended the Emperor of Great Xia and the inner city of the palace. This made him feel very proud.

However, after Li Renli was proud, he also thought of his elder brother Li Renzhong, who was like his father, who died for his country while resisting the Song Dynasty, and he couldn't help but feel sad and resentful.

After Li Renli thanked Emperor Xia for his kindness, he swore loudly:

"I am a humble minister who is benevolent and will live up to the holy hope. I will definitely fulfill my duties as the commander of the six squadrons of the imperial siege, lead my subordinates to guard the imperial city at all times, and swear to protect His Majesty to the death!"

"If a humble minister needs to be benevolent and benevolent to fight for the country, he must be brave and not afraid of death. He must wear strong armor and take the lead in resisting the invasion of the Song army. He must kill as many soldiers as possible from the Song Dynasty. It is best to kill or capture alive the person who is the imperial commander of the Song Dynasty. Dog Emperor, I am willing to repay the country with my life, and repay your majesty with my life. I am also willing to repay my brother's blood feud with my body!"

Li Qianshun was moved. After listening to Li Renli's heartfelt oath, he pointed at Li Renli in public and praised:

"It is precisely because I value Aiqing's loyalty and bravery that I entrust Aiqing with the important task of being the commander of the sixth squadron of the imperial siege!"

All the soldiers present immediately shouted:

"Your Majesty is wise..."

"Long live my emperor..."

Thousands of soldiers and generals on duty in the Sixth Squadron present were shouting long live, but in their hearts they were all shocked and confused.

Why did Emperor Xia suddenly replace such an important position with a member of the royal family in his twenties?

Most of them have similar thoughts:

'Your Majesty, are you no longer trusting us, the children of various tribes and powerful families?'

They were all frightened, thinking that they were just like the more than 200 officers and officers of the Sixth Squadron who suddenly disappeared. They were all hostages left in the capital!

Will he also be suddenly demoted or disappeared?

Li Qianshun, a shrewd and capable man, looked around the generals, and through the micro-expressions on the generals' faces, he sensed that they were doubtful and fearful.

"My dear friends, please don't be suspicious!" Li Qianshun spoke to appease the soldiers and lied:

"The Song army has invaded, and the front line is tight! I have transferred some generals from the sixth squadron of the imperial siege and put them into other important positions!"

As soon as Emperor Xia said this, all the soldiers and generals present were dubious.

"I will also select loyal and courageous people from all the beloved ministers and promote them to official positions to fill the vacant positions."

Those who had just questioned it in the sixth squadron of the imperial siege, although they still have some doubts now, are eager to give it a try, hoping that they can be promoted and reused by Emperor Xia.

Li Qianshun said leisurely: "Just now, I summoned King Shu in the main hall to discuss and draw up a list of those who should be promoted in the six squads of the imperial siege."

After he finished speaking, he took out a holy edict filled with plans to promote generals and handed it to King Shu Li Renli to read it out.

Li Renli received the imperial edict with trembling hands. He knew that he had just been summoned into the main hall by His Majesty to discuss matters, and he had not discussed the list of officials to be promoted to the Sixth Division of the Imperial Guard at all. This was done by Emperor Xia alone before.

And now, Emperor Xia said this and asked him, the newly appointed top officer of the Sixth Squadron of the Imperial Guard, to read out the imperial edict for the promotion of new officials. This is because Emperor Xia values ​​himself and gives him the good thing that can win over his subordinates. A new chief officer will do it!

Li Renli gratefully accepted the imperial edict and read it loudly in public...

A total of more than 200 people were newly promoted from the sixth squad of the imperial siege, filling the official positions of the more than 200 protons from various tribes who had been placed under house arrest by Emperor Xia's secret order.

The newly promoted people were all smiles and happily bowed and thanked...

Those who have not been promoted are full of envy...

…

Xia Emperor Li Qianshun issued another edict: Prepare wine, meat, gold and silver, money, and clothing to reward the soldiers guarding Xingqing Mansion in the capital.

King Shu Li Renli gave advice to Emperor Xia and reminded him: "Your Majesty rewarded the soldiers of the three armies who guarded the capital. This is a great kindness."

"Of course, the officers and soldiers of General Li Liangfu who guard the Yellow River ferry on the eastern outskirts of the capital should also be rewarded by your Majesty! After all, they are the first important line of defense guarding outside the capital against the Song army coming down the river. Your Majesty cannot ignore it! "

"Hahaha..." Li Qianshun, who had been worried because of the tight war situation, rarely laughed heartily and said:

"My dear nephew, you are worrying too much! The reason why I did not send anyone to reward Li Liangfu and his generals who were guarding the river is not because I have forgotten my beloved general Li Liangfu."

"Rather, I want to take charge of Li Liangfu's troops and reward Li Liangfu and his soldiers."

"ah?!

Li Renli was shocked when he heard this. After all, he had just taken over as the commander of the Sixth Squadron of Imperial Guards. He was not very capable of controlling his subordinates. He was afraid that he would protect Emperor Xia from leaving the capital during the troubled autumn when the Song Army invaded Xixia. If another accident occurs, it will be even worse for Daxia!

He hurriedly admonished: "Your Majesty, you must not venture out of the city with thousands of people! Your Majesty can just send an imperial envoy from the court to suppress Li Liangfu's troops."

Li Qianshun smiled calmly and said: "The dog emperor of the Song Dynasty can travel thousands of miles and conduct military campaigns in person, so he dares to invade my country, Daxia!"

"Then the dog emperor of the Song Dynasty is the emperor, and I am also the emperor. The emperor of Song Dynasty was so bold that he risked his life to accompany the army on the expedition. How can I be as timid as a mouse and dare not go out of the capital to comfort Li Liangfu's soldiers on the bank of the Yellow River?"

"Huh?!" Li Liangfu was speechless for a moment.

Li Qianshun changed the topic and asked angrily: "Am I not as good as Zhao Ji, the dog emperor of the Song Dynasty?"

When Li Renli heard what Emperor Xia said, he didn't dare to refute anything.

Everyone present trembled when they heard this, and all the generals flattered them one after another:

"Your Majesty is thousands of times stronger than that foolish king of the Song Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty's talents and strategies are countless times better than that of the Dog Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"

"..."

After Li Renli hurriedly complimented Emperor Xia a few words, he vowed that he would lead his troops to protect Emperor Xia's safety on his way out of the city.

Li Qianshun nodded with satisfaction and said: "My good nephew quickly mobilized 2,000 elite soldiers from the Sixth Squadron to escort me out of the East City and go to the ferry crossings and docks of the Yellow River in the eastern suburbs to reward the soldiers of Li Liangfu's unit who were guarding the river."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Renli hurriedly said: "I obey the decree."

Two-quarters of an hour later, Li Renli prepared the rewards for the three armies, loaded them on more than thirty oxen carts, and ordered two thousand soldiers from the sixth squad to accompany them.

Li Renli rode on a war horse and led his troops to protect Xia Emperor Li Qianshun's royal carriage. He left the inner city of the palace and arrived at the east gate of the outer city in a mighty manner.

Li Qianshun got out of the car and visited the soldiers guarding Dongcheng on the way...

When all the soldiers saw that the Emperor of Great Xia came to reward them in person, their morale was naturally high, and they shouted "Long Live" excitedly, like a mountain roaring like a tsunami, one wave after another.

"Long live my emperor..."

"Long live my emperor..."

Li Qianshun heard the cries of the soldiers and generals who were defending the city, and saw that the morale of the soldiers and generals who were defending the city was so high that he couldn't help but feel inspired.

Accompanied by thirty generals of all sizes who were guarding the East City, and under the protection of the elite six squadrons of imperial guards led by King Shu Li Renli, he climbed to the highest tower on the East City.

Li Qianshun leaned down and looked down, and saw that the capital city of Xingqing was really deep and high. The soldiers who defended the city had strong horses and strong horses. They shared the same hatred of the enemy and their morale was high.

This inevitably aroused Li Qianshun's ambition. After comprehensively comparing the situation between the enemy and ourselves in Song and Xia at this time, he arbitrarily concluded that the defense battle of Xingqing Mansion in the capital must be won!

At the same time, in order to stabilize the morale of the Xia army defending the city and further boost their morale, he held the city wall with his hands and lectured loudly:

"I rely on the high height of the capital city of Daxia and the deep ditches and the lives of the three armies;

"In addition, my beloved general Li Liangfu has led a heavy army to guard the fortresses at the crossings of the Yellow River outside the capital. He will definitely be able to severely inflict heavy damage on the Song army coming down the Yellow River. If the dog emperor of the Song Dynasty dares to march along the river in person, he may Can become a prisoner of Li Liangfu’s tribe!”

The words of Emperor Li Qianshun of Great Xia were not only heard by his entourage; his words were also spread by the guards of the sixth rank of the imperial siege, who were arranged above and below the city, to the distant places below the city, and to all the soldiers guarding the east city of Xingqing Mansion. I heard it all.

Suddenly, the morale of the three armies was greatly boosted, and cheers continued from above and below the city:

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Your Majesty is a master at predicting events, and he is able to strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away!"

"Your Majesty uses his troops like a god and knows how to use them well!"

"His Majesty sent General Li Liangfu to lead a heavy army to guard the fortress at the Yellow River Ferry. He will surely defeat the Song army. They will lose their helmets and armor, sink to the bottom of the Yellow River, and be buried among the fish!"

"The Dog Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, will definitely become a prisoner of His Majesty's subordinates!"

"..."

The high morale of the officers and men of the three armies, their determination to win, their shouts like the roar of mountains and tsunami,

The emperor of Great Xia, Li Qianshun, was so excited that he climbed high to face the wind, and the excited shouts of the soldiers could be heard in his ears.

In a daze, he felt that Daxia had won the battle to defend Xingqing Mansion in the capital!

He seemed to see Li Liangfu leading his troops to annihilate hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the Song Dynasty who invaded the Xia Kingdom, and captured the Dog Emperor of the Song Dynasty ‘Zhao Ji’ alive...

He also saw that after the Xia army defeated the Song army, his beloved general Liangpu personally escorted the shirtless and tied-up Dog Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and knelt down in front of him, the wise and mighty lord of the Great Xia Kingdom. Underfoot.

The embarrassed Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty kowtowed repeatedly, banged his head, cried and shouted:

'Zhao Ji, the lord of the defeated country, bows down to the sage king of the above country!'

'I know that I have committed a grave sin. I invaded the Xia Kingdom, provoked a war, betrayed the peace treaty, and provoked the wrath of heaven and mankind. That is why we have such a great defeat!"

‘Zhao Ji, the guilty minister, is willing to cut off the land north of the Yangtze River in the Song Dynasty and dedicate it to the superior country! In order to seek the wise king of the superior country, I will spare my life!’

'The sinful minister Zhao Ji, who had previously underestimated his ability, turned out to be so bold that he dared to ask for Princess Cao from the kingdom!'

'Fortunately, the sky has eyes. Due to busy military affairs, the unjust army led by the guilty minister Zhao Ji was defeated by the superior general Li Liangfu before he could have an affair with Princess Cao's innocent body! '
