Chapter 418
In Yinchuan City, the King of Xixia had already learned from the spies that Wu Tian led an army of 600,000 to attack Xixia, and was stunned.
The Queen of Xixia walked in, held the hand of the King of Xixia, and comforted her: "Your Majesty, things have reached this point, why should we be so persistent? Listen to me, let go of everything, so that you won't be so stressed."
The King of Xixia looked at the queen, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "It seems that I have made a decision for this king of the destruction of the country. Well, since God wants me to bear such a great humiliation, I admit it. Empress, you lead all the princes and princesses out of here, I don't want you to be humiliated by the Liang army like me."
The Queen of Xixia shook her head and held the King of Xixia's hand tightly, tears dripping down her cheeks.
"Your Majesty, I have been married to you since you were sixteen. It has been more than twenty years since now. Even if I want to die, I will die with you. Apart from that, I will not go anywhere."
Seeing the Queen of Xixia so passionately, the King of Xixia felt very sad.
Finally, he sighed.
"Okay, since you want to go to the Ultimate with me, when the Western Xia Kingdom was captured, we and my husband will go to the Ultimate together."
Queen Xixia nodded.
Soon, the matter of the King of Xixia preparing to surrender spread throughout the Xixia Kingdom, and everyone was in panic.
Especially the Li nobles of the Western Xia Dynasty.
If the Xixia Kingdom surrendered, they would turn from royal families into ordinary people.
They united to meet the King of Xixia.
"Your Majesty, there are 100,000 soldiers in the Western Xia country who can fight, and in addition, there are tens of millions of people who can mobilize. As long as we handle it properly and deal with Liang State, we can definitely drag down Liang State. Besides, there are the Western Regions countries behind us. As long as your Majesty is willing to take out a part of the money in the treasury, bribe the monarchs of these Western Regions countries, and propose that after conquering Liang State in the future, they will definitely raise an army to help our Western Xia State deal with Liang State together."
"Yes, Your Majesty, our Li family has been fighting bloody battles on the battlefield for many years. It has finally been established in Xixia and has been passed down to His Majesty's generation for almost a hundred years. Your Majesty should be grateful that the Li family is not easy to start a business, so how can we give up the Li family's business so easily?"
"Your Majesty, if you insist on doing this, you will be the sinner of our Li family. I firmly disagree with Your Majesty's surrender!"
The elders and peers of the Li family came together and took turns to persuade the King of Xixia, even shy their faces.
The King of Xixia looked at the elders and cousins' faces, smiled slightly, and said, "Since you all disagree with my surrender to Liang State, then what can you do to deal with Liang State? Liang State has now concentrated an army of 600,000, two thousand red-clothed cannons and one hundred howitzers. You should have heard of the power of these red-clothed cannons and howitzers?"
"The Liang State of Nanyue, Dali State and the nearest Goryeo region, relying on these two things, easily took down all these areas. Now they turn to target our Xixia State. Tell me, what can you do to help me resist these red cannons and howitzers?"
The elders of the Li family and peers were silent. They had heard of the power of red cannons and howitzers. They were things that even the city could blow into pieces. Which of them could resist?
"Why are you not talking? Didn't you just advise me not to give up on the Xixia Kingdom? As long as some of you are willing to lead troops to war, I promise that as long as he can defeat Liang Kingdom, I will grant him the title of general and give him the title of king."
The elders of the Li family and the peers were silent.
The titles and official positions given by the King of Xixia are indeed very large, but they are probably unable to accept them.
"Are you scared if you don't speak? If that's the case, then what else do you advise me to do? I'm really sorry for the ancestors of the Western Xia, but I can at least keep the safety of the Li family of the Western Xia and the people of the Western Xia. My uncles and brothers, you must understand me. If possible, I don't want to be the king of the destruction of the country!"
Elders of the Li family sighed.
"Your Majesty, I was waiting for the wrong thing just now. Your Majesty made such a great sacrifice for the sake of Xixia, which is not something we can understand. But Your Majesty, Xixia was once so rude to Liang, and I am afraid that Wu Tian would not accept our surrender so easily. Maybe we will encounter greater humiliation if we surrender."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Xixia has been fighting against Liang for the past few years. Wu Tian hates us so much in his heart, and he will definitely not accept our surrender."
Seeing the elders so worried, the King of Xixia smiled slightly, and he had already seen everything.
"You guys don't have to worry about this. I will handle this well. When the Blood Sword Ancestor left, he once said that Wu Tian's goal was not just as simple as the Western Xia Kingdom. At that time, I didn't believe it. But judging from the 600,000 troops commanded by Wu Tian and the weapons equipped, Wu Tian's goal was indeed not only the Western Xia Kingdom, but also many larger goals. For example, the Western Regions, the Mobei Kingdom behind the Western Xia Kingdom. So he would not make things difficult for us. On the contrary, he had to rely on us. Liang Kingdom entered the Western Regions or the Mobei Kingdom, both needed strong logistics, and the fastest route to enter the Western Regions from the Central Plains needed to pass through the Western Xia."
When the elders of the Li family heard this, they were both surprised and happy.
Surprised by the strength and ambition of Liang State, and happy that since Liang State needed Xixia, they would not take their lives, and their lives were finally saved.
"Since Your Majesty has already made a countermeasure, then we will not say much and say goodbye."
After saying that, all the elders of the Li family left.
But the peers of the Li family are still there, and it seems that there is something to say.
The King of Xixia knew in his heart that they must be for their own future.
"Brothers, there are no other people here. Just tell me what you want. I am still the King of Xixia and can still manage all the things in Xixia. If Liang comes after a while, this Xixia Kingdom will not belong to me. If you want to get some more benefits, it will probably be difficult."
When the peers of the Li family heard what the King of Xixia said, they all understood.
Several people couldn't help but kneel in front of the King of Xixia and kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty if I can give you marquises and counts before the fall of Xixia. In this way, I will not be in vain for you to come to this world."
After Emperor Taizu of Xixia established Xixia, in order to prevent the fall of imperial power, he restricted the royal relatives.
