"Empress of Xixia?"

Guo Mo quickly took the military report handed over by Zhao Rushu and read it carefully.

It turned out that the "Vulture" Yuchixuan and the "Opening Tablet Master" Reid issued the edict of the Supreme Emperor Li Zunxu in the palace of King Hao in front of all the civil and military ministers of Xixia.

When it comes to the two kings of Xixia, whether it is the tragic death of Li Dewang or the current new emperor Li Sui, in terms of prestige and influence, there is no way to compare with the Supreme Emperor Li Zunxu.

Although this old man has abdicated for several years, in the Xixia court, especially among the veterans, they still regard him as the real master.

Coupled with the rumors in Zhongxing Mansion these days, you must know that there is no smoke without fire.

Many people were skeptical at first, but now that the Supreme Emperor has issued an edict, it seems to be a matter of course for the new emperor Li Sui to step down.

As for letting the "Princess Yincheng" be their empress, there was some opposition, but not very loud.

First of all, this is the decision of the Supreme Emperor Li Zunxu, and it has been a habit for many years for the ministers to act in accordance with the edict.

Secondly, just over a month ago, the Mongolian cavalry broke through several Xixia states and reached Xiliang Prefecture, which was only one state away from Zhongxing Prefecture.

At such a critical moment, it was "Princess Yincheng" who stepped forward and led an army to resist the Mongolian cavalry as a woman.

At that time, many ministers whispered that it would be great if this "Princess Yincheng" was a man. It would be a blessing for the Xixia subjects!

More importantly, the special status of "Princess Yincheng" also attracted the powerful "Dunwu Army" of more than 30,000 people in the Song Dynasty and the Yanwang Guards.

He beat back the arrogant Mongolian cavalry forcefully.

Although more Xixia people heard from hearsay, King Yan's guards seemed to have three heads and six arms, and the Mongols were unable to fight back.

However, the Mongols retreated from two states in a row, and now they are hiding in Guazhou City and do not dare to come out. Is this always a fact?

As more and more Xixia people went outside Suzhou City to conduct trade and exchange, the image of Meng Gong and his "Dun Wu Army" became more and more prominent in the hearts of Xixia people.

Of course, they know better that the root of all this lies in their "Princess of Silver City".

Without the existence of this princess, let alone the fact that they could now enjoy the tea, wine, silk and porcelain of the Song Dynasty, the entire Xixia Kingdom would have been wiped out by the Mongols.

Therefore, when Yuchixuan announced in public that he would appoint "Princess Yincheng" as the Empress of Xixia, more than half of the people agreed.

There are also some ministers who remain neutral. After Yuchixuan left, they spontaneously organized their own servants to protect the courtyard, maintain the daily security of Zhongxing Mansion, and wait for the final outcome of the game between the upper-level bosses.

Yuchixuan, on the other hand, summoned more than 3,000 Xixia troops, together with dozens of civil and military ministers who actively supported the "Princess Yincheng", and set off for Xiliang Prefecture.

Before they arrived in Xiliang Prefecture, Meng Gong's scout army reported what happened in Zhongxing Mansion to his case.

"Haha, Cheng Yu, this time is really interesting. I'm afraid even His Highness King Yan may not have expected this situation today, right?"

After Meng Gong read it, he handed the news to Zhao Chengyu who was standing next to him.

Zhao Chengyu was in a very complicated mood these days. He fought a great victory and left an indelible mark on the hearts of both the Xixia Army and the Mongolian Army for the King of Yan and the Song Dynasty.

However, 523 of the brothers under his command eventually died, and 27 were seriously disabled and could no longer stay in King Yan's guard army.

Even among those who were slightly injured, there are still more than 40 people who have not fully recovered. What he can fully use now is only more than 2,600 King Yan's guards.

In the eyes of others, this is just a series of cold casualty figures, but in the eyes of Zhao Chengyu, these are his brothers of life and death.

After that duel, Zhao Chengyu personally wrote a military closure report to Guo Mo, or his "letter of confession" for failing to protect those five or six hundred brothers.

Guo Mo also quickly replied to him, not as the king of Yan, but as the military commander Pao Ze.

He was asked to record clearly the names, place of origin, and post-war pensions of the soldiers who died in the battle. He could not let his brothers still worry about their families after they died.

He also ordered Meng Gong and Zhao Chengyu to erect a monument for this Song-Mongolia battle outside Suzhou City and engrave the names of every soldier who died in the battle on it.

"Chengyu, there are laws of war in war. How can one not die in a war? King Yan once said that brothers can die, but they must die in a worthwhile way."

"Those of us who are still alive must carry the legacy of our dead brothers and unite more closely around His Highness King Yan. Only with His Highness leading us can we create an unprecedented world."

"At that time, every citizen under His Highness' rule will be able to have enough food and clothing, the young and old will be able to marry wives, and the children will be able to go to school."

"Look at Henan Prefecture. In just a few years, these things that you never dared to think about have actually come true before your eyes."

"Meng believes that in the near future, in the new territory of the Song Dynasty, every corner will be like the current Henan Prefecture, or even do better——"

Meng Gong is considered a calm person, but when he said this, his eyes were shining and his voice was raised a lot unconsciously.

"Du Tong, what should we do about this 'Empress of Xixia' matter?"

After hearing what Meng Gong said, Zhao Chengyu felt relieved a lot, looked at the military report in front of him and asked.

"What should we do? Of course we must firmly support the 'Princess of Yincheng'. No, from now on, we will call her the 'Empress of Xixia'."

"You think, the 'Empress of Xixia' is the concubine of our Prince Yan Palace, but what about the entire Xixia Kingdom?"

"While Brother Tiemu is hiding in Guazhou City, we should step up our training of the 40,000 Xixia troops in front of us. When we fight in the future, we can't let them hold us back."

With the full support of Meng Gong and Zhao Chengyu, Suzhou, Ganzhou and Xiliangzhou were completely included in the rule of the "Empress of Xixia".

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Under the protection of Zhao Chengyu and King Yan's escort, the "Empress of Xixia" left the Suzhou front line and continued to be stationed in Xiliang Prefecture. She has not returned to Zhongxing Mansion for the time being.

.

After all, the situation in the Zhongxing Mansion is still relatively complicated. Having been a state government for so many years, the relationships between forces and interests are intricately intertwined.

At this special point in time, it was a decision jointly reached by Meng Gong and the "Empress of Xixia" to try to avoid unnecessary trouble and ensure a stable rear on the western front.

In his last letter, Guo Mo had entrusted Meng Gong with full authority to take charge of the entire Xixia government and military affairs, and there was no need to ask Luoyang for instructions on everything.

In fact, Meng Gong's current power has long exceeded that of a leading general, and is even greater than the power of Guo Mo's three major economic and strategic envoys.

If we really want to make an analogy, Meng Gong's power in the Xixia states is already equivalent to that of a Jiedushi envoy.

...

"Your Highness, it seems that the owner of your 'Yanranju' will not be able to come to you in a short time."

Old Cheng Jui poured himself a glass of wine and joked about Guo Mo.

"According to what Meng Gong said, I'm afraid the Mongols won't launch an attack easily."

"They don't have a good supply line, unless Borshu from the rear fully supports him, so in my opinion, Brother Timmu may even withdraw."

"Your Highness, although King Yan's escort army lost five or six hundred people this time, this battle is of great significance! Among the 30,000 Mongolian troops, 40,000 Xixia troops and 30,000 'Dunwu troops', these 100,000 people witnessed

Next, I beat the Mongolian cavalry to the ground with dignity and dignity."

"Veteran, I think it's time to give some rewards to King Yan's bodyguards. It's always the bodyguards, and the name of the bodyguards seems a bit too mediocre."

Zhao Rushu on the side spoke.

"Well, what Zhao Changshi said is true. When the number of guards was equal, they defeated the Mongolian cavalry with a ratio of one to five."

"If this is against the Xixia or Jin Kingdom's army, the advantage will be even more obvious. He is really the best tiger in the world, why not name it after 'Hu Ben'?"

Guo Mo stood up, walked to the table aside, raised his hand and picked up a wolf hair, and wrote three powerful characters "Hu Ben Army" on the rice paper in front of him.

"Zhao Changshi, make these three characters into a big flag and send it to the Xixia front line."

"At the same time, I asked the general supervisor, Senior Brother Feng, to prepare a thousand horse-cutting knives and a thousand sets of armor and send them to Xixia. This can be regarded as our gift to the 'Empress of Xixia' on her enthronement."

This is already a family. The suggestions provided by Guo Mo to Meng Gong are being implemented step by step. Sooner or later, the four Xixia troops will become his own.

The war in Xixia has temporarily become tense, and the real drought may still come in a few months. What Guo Mo has to do now is wait for the birth of his fourth child.

Thinking that when the first three children were born, he was not able to stay by Huang Rong's side. Now that the fourth child was about to be born, he would not want to leave even if something big happened.

On the last day of June, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and cool breezes blew, making the originally hot weather feel more refreshing and hopeful.

Is it going to rain?

The entire city of Luoyang, the entire Henan Prefecture, even more state capitals, and more people are looking up in hope, thinking that God will rain some soon——

Prince Yan's Mansion, Hongyu Pavilion.

People were busy going in and out, but Guo Mo was spinning around in the yard.

"How come you haven't given birth yet?"

Although he is already the father of three children, it is the first time for Guo Mo that his wife has given birth to a child.

Two Wen Pos had already entered, Feng Heng, Jin Yufeng, and Li Mochou were also helping inside. Guo Mo also wanted to go in, but Ting Xiang and Wen Fu blocked the door tightly.

"Dad, you'd better sit down and wait. It shouldn't be that fast."

Little Guo Xiang, however, was like a little grown-up, lying on a lounge chair nearby, looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, as if he could hold his breath even more calmly than an grown-up like Guo Mo.

Yes, even though this little girl is only five years old, she already has a younger brother. The little brat Guo Xiao who lives far away in Peach Blossom Island is almost two years old.

"Click——"

Suddenly, there was a thunder in the sky, and huge raindrops fell.

"It's raining--"

"It's raining--"

The entire city of Luoyang was shouting. Of course, such a loud voice was also heard in Prince Yan's Mansion.

"Wow--"

A clear cry came from Huang Rong's bedroom.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, Miss has given birth to another son for you——"
