All the Xixia officials were stunned, while the Mongolian troops watching the excitement outside the city laughed loudly. Their faces were full of contempt and ridicule for the Xixia people, and they could not hide it no matter what.
Li Zhonge, Marbu and others had no choice but to get up and walk down to the city.
When he went down to the city, Li Zhong'e sighed and said: "It's okay, let's do it tomorrow."
All the officials of Xixia went down to the city one after another, only waiting to come back tomorrow to jump to their deaths.
On the second day, when the sky was still dark and Li Zhong'e hadn't gotten up yet, he was shocked to hear the news that Li Sui, along with some officials and servants, opened the city gate and surrendered!
Li Zhong'e was shocked, his face full of disbelief. He stood up in a hurry and ran towards the city gate. At the city gate, he saw Li Sui kneeling on the ground with his head almost on the ground, respectfully waiting for the Mongols to enter the city.
Li Zhong'e was furious and said to Li Sui: "Your Majesty, by doing this, are you doing justice to the past emperors? Are you doing justice to the soldiers who died fighting for the country?"
Li Sui was ashamed, and did not dare to look at Li Zhong'e, nor did he dare to answer, but his eyes silently shed two lines of tears.
When Li Zhong'e saw that he was silent and saw many officials also surrendering, he said angrily to those officials: "The imperial court has supported you all your life, but now that the country has been destroyed, is this how you serve the imperial court?"
Those officials were also very ashamed, and most of them did not answer, just pretending that they were not talking about themselves.
Only one official timidly said: "It's good for the court to support me, but I didn't let the court support me in vain. I also contributed to the court. Now that the court is in decline, even His Majesty is reluctant to die. Why do you ask me to go?"
die?"
"You shameless rat, I will kill you."
Li Zhong'e was so angry that he drew out his attendant's sword and killed him with one blow.
"Hahaha,,,Xia Kingdom has perished. His body was completely damaged and his face was disgraced. Hahaha,,,"
Li Zhong'e laughed and returned to his house, and then ordered his family members to be gathered together. He personally lit a fire and burned his family to death.
There were many people like Li Zhong'e who also committed suicide and burned themselves. Looking around, more than a dozen mansions in the city were on fire.
Borshu kept his promise and did not kill Li Sui and others. He said: "I said that as long as you surrender, I will not kill you, but whether you live or die, you still need to be handed over to the Great Khan."
Li Suitian was shameless and said to Bo Shu: "General, before Wei Minglinggong killed many soldiers of your army, the villain has taken control of his entire family and handed it over to the general. Please ask the general to be benevolent and righteous. When the time comes,
Say a few kind words for the little one in front of the Great Khan."
Borshu was furious, and with a "clang" sound, he suddenly drew his sword and said to Li Sui: "Although Wei Mingling has killed many of my clansmen, he is still an upright hero. How can you treat your generals and loyal ministers like this?"
After saying that, Bo Shu slashed his sword and cut off Li Sui's right arm, causing blood to flow out.
Li Sui screamed in pain and rolled on the ground, but no one paid attention to him. Whether it was the Mongolian army or the Xixia people, they all despised Li Sui.
Borshu said: "If you must be handed over to the Great Khan, today the Japanese general will disembowel you."
After saying that, Borshu ordered people to take Li Sui and his party down to take care of them.
Then the Mongolian army entered the city, but Borshu lost interest because of Li Sui's incident. He said to his subordinates: "Arrest the craftsmen, keep the women, and massacre the rest of the city in three days. Go ahead."
The general was overjoyed, urged his horse, and went to carry out the task.
Soon, the city was full of howling wolves, and countless Xixia people died under the butcher's knife. Only women who could still give birth and work, and skilled craftsmen survived.
However, at this time, their families were also broken up, their wives and children were scattered, and there was not much difference between living and dying.
Li Sui and his party were finally taken to Yanzhou and met Genghis Khan.
Li Sui knelt humbly in front of Genghis Khan and begged for forgiveness.
"I pay homage to the Great Khan and ask the Great Khan to spare my life. I am willing to be your most loyal servant and manage the summer land on my behalf. I can also feed cattle and horses for the Great Khan. I just want to do things for the Great Khan. I am willing to do anything."
"
Genghis Khan was also disgusted with him, and said to Ogedai calmly: "Bury him with the corpses of the previous Xia army soldiers, so that those Xia army soldiers know what their king looks like."
Li Sui was frightened, and he cried and begged: "No, no, Khan, spare me, spare me."
Genghis Khan waved his hand, and Li Sui was taken down. Also taken down with him were more than a dozen ministers who surrendered. They were also killed together, and no one survived.
On February 6, the third year of Hengsheng, that is, February 23, 1227 AD, Xixia was conquered by Genghis Khan, and the country was broken and eventually destroyed.
And history has changed unconsciously here. Originally, the fall of Xixia was half a year later, when Genghis Khan had already died of illness.
But now, because Yu Jie was sent to the grassland on the order of Zhao Yun and took away 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Xixia when he returned, this greatly reduced Xixia's ability to resist and caused Xixia's demise half a year early.
Let’s talk about this war. After the war between Mongolia and Xia, the population of Xixia was originally about two million. In several wars, the Mongolian army killed more than 800,000 Xixia soldiers and civilians. In addition, the population loss caused by the war made the entire Xixia
It was empty and almost in ruins.
Xixia was destroyed, and Genghis Khan officially set his sights on the Kingdom of Jin.
Although Mongolia had been at war with the Jin Kingdom for many years before, because the Jin Kingdom was also a big country, a powerful country, and a bad ship, Mongolia had to deal with multiple opponents at the same time and was unable to concentrate, so it was never eliminated.
Now, Genghis Khan could finally treat the Kingdom of Jin wholeheartedly.
However, before that, Genghis Khan still needed to consider one issue, and that was his eldest son Jochi.
At this time, Jochi took his troops away from Genghis Khan's control and hid. Genghis Khan knew that he was not convinced by Ogedai.
If Wo Kuotai ascended the throne of Khan in the future, he was worried that Shuchi would dissatisfy Wo Kuotai and start a rebellion.
In order to solve this problem, Genghis Khan called his second son Chagatai to him and said to him: "Chagatai, you are very strong now. It is time to take charge of your own affairs. My father Khan will give you the hometown of Liao Kingdom, and you can go
There, a king was established and a country was established."
Chagatai was overjoyed, because the homeland of the Liao Kingdom was a huge territory, with a vast area of tens of thousands of miles, and abundant products, including countless herds of cattle and sheep.
If he had established a kingdom there, then his power and strength would not be weaker than that of Ogedai, but he did not have the title of Great Khan.
Chagatai knelt down in front of Genghis Khan excitedly and said sincerely: "My son, thank you father Khan."
"Well, from now on you have to assist Wokuotai well. Go ahead and build your feudal kingdom."
