With the help of Mouning Mei Zhao, Zhao Wenya went out of the city overnight to visit Li Hu...
In the early morning of the sixth day of the lunar month, the tent of the Tiger Lie Army was brightly lit. Li Hu, Luo Qinghan, Zhe Keqiu, Hou Gui and others gathered in the tent and were discussing the attack on the city.
As the New Year passed, the general trend of the world changed. Tieying urgently reported that in the end of December, Wanyan Zonghan led his army to Daibei, while Wanyan Gao led his army to attack Juyongguan from Yanjing, and Wanyan Zongfu led his army to attack Taihang Chengtian Army Fortress from Hebei, and made every effort to restrain Datong and Hedong Tiger Army. Almost at the same time, Chang'an urgently reported that Wanyan Talan from Shandong led his army to meet Xin Xingzong in Yingtian Prefecture, the Jin army and the Southeast rebels joined forces to attack Bianjing, and the war broke out again in the Central Plains.
The attack time chosen by the Jurchens and the Southeast rebels was very good. The Hu Lie Army had more than two months of expedition to the west, which cost an astonishing amount of soldiers. It was the harsh winter, and the weather was cold and the time for withdrawal would be greatly increased. These conditions were beneficial to the Jin army and the Southeast rebels, but not to the Tiger Lie Army.
Although Li Hu was prepared for a long time and had made many precautions and preparations before the Western Expedition to deal with the changes in the situation, the army and the financial resources were insufficient, and the Tiger and Lieutenant Army did not have the strength to fight on multiple fronts. For this reason, when necessary, in order to complete the Western Expedition, the Great Desert
In war, we must give up some territory.
Yelu Mage is retreating to Daibei, Gao Baolong is withdrawing back to Hedong. As long as the Han generals such as Tieying and Xiao Monknu continue to hold on for ten days and a half months, the situation will improve. However, the situation in the Central Plains is due to the serious shortage of troops in the Tie Lie Army and the lack of reinforcements, Wang Yuan and Yue Fei may not be able to support the end of the Western Expedition.
Luo Qinghan and others intend to launch a fierce offensive again so that they can take down Xingqing Prefecture as soon as possible, and then quickly mobilize their troops to support the Central Plains. Li Hu also agreed with this method, but judging from the attacks during this period, Xingqing Prefecture's defense is very strong, and blindly attacking can only increase the losses, so he asked everyone to think of other methods.
At this moment, Xie Yidao urgently reported that Zhao Wenya was here.
Li Hu immediately realized that something happened in Xingqing Mansion. Otherwise, Zhao Wenya would not have left the city in the early morning. He was very nervous and didn't know what happened in the city. However, with Brother Richard's strength, Li Renli and a group of leaders and powerful people were obviously not his opponents. If the situation was controlled by Brother Richard, the difficulty of siege would increase exponentially.
Li Hu was impatient and came out to greet him in person. After seeing Zhao Wenya, he was not waiting.
After greeting, the first sentence asked: "Good things, bad things?" Zhao Wenya couldn't suppress her excitement. She took the step forward and held Li Hu's hand tightly, and whispered: "Good things, big things have been decided."
Li Hu was overjoyed and pulled Zhao Wenya into the side tent. Zhao Wenya briefly introduced the situation, "Brother Richard is arresting in the city. He must deal with Mouning Mei Zhao before dawn to prevent Mouning Mei Zhao from turning against the enemy when the Tiger Lieutenant Army launches an attack after dawn, so the Tiger King must immediately mobilize troops to launch an attack, and take down the Yanxia Gate, the Xicheng guarded by Mouning Mei Zhao, before dawn, in order to capture the outer city."
Li Hu was very excited. He finally waited for this moment, but the more this happens, the more cautious he should be. After all, his opponent is Brother Richard, not an ordinary general of the Party Xiang. Li Hu carefully asked about the situation of Mouning Mei Zhao and secretly guessed the possibility of this matter. Zhao Wenya knew what Li Hu was worried about, so she promised that Mouning Mei Zhao was absolutely credible and would not be a trap set by Brother Richard.
Li Hu no longer hesitated and returned to the commander's tent to send Zhao Wenya the news. As soon as he said that, Luo Qinghan and others were ecstatic. Hou Gui immediately asked that his Feiyun army and Zhang Gao'er's Yan Wang army would be responsible for attacking Yanxia Gate and be the first to enter the outer city of Xingqing Prefecture.

On the sixth day of the first day, at the first hour of Yin, Zhang Gao'er led five thousand men to quietly arrive outside Yanxia Gate.
Mouning Mei Zhao was guarding the city tower. When he saw Zhao Wenya appear quietly from the darkness, he hurriedly pulled him to the city with a rope. Zhao Wenya brought Li Hu's letter, and Li Hu promised Mouning Mei Zhao that he promised all the conditions he proposed. Mouning Mei Zhao had no time to think too much, and now that things have come to this, he could only hold his head in his hand and take risks. Anyway, staying in the city would mean death. Surrendering Li Hu would have hope of survival.
At the third hour of Yin, Mei Zhao ordered the city gate to be opened.
With Zhang Gao'er's order, the soldiers of the King of Hell quickly entered the city and seized the city gate.
Immediately afterwards, Hou Gu rushed in with his subsequent army. In just two minutes, the Feiyun Army and the Yanwang Army all entered Yanxia Gate and quickly advanced into the city.
The locations where Richard Richard launched the mutiny were mainly in the inner city and the imperial city. For this reason, he drew some troops from the outer city, which led to a decrease in the number of people on patrols. The accident at Yanxia Gate was actually in two situations.
It was not exposed within the time.
At the sixth hour of Yin, Zhang Gao'er's fierce soldiers met the Xia army on the patrol. For a moment, the sound of the alarm sounded loudly and scary shouts suddenly tore through the darkness, and fierce battle broke out.
Han Shizhong, Wu?, and Roland led their troops to advance. Soon, fires surged into the sky from the Yanxia Gate, and the sound of killing was even more deafening.

Brother Richard received the news and his soul flew out of the sky. Although he was extremely careful, he still overestimated the loyalty of the Dangxiang people to his kingdom. He regretted it to the extreme. The first mutiny led to the loss of Karochuan, and the second mutiny directly led to the loss of the outer city of Xingqing Prefecture. The loss of the outer city means that the fall of Xingqing Prefecture is only a matter of time. The great Xia Dynasty collapsed.
Brother Richard ordered that all the defending troops in the outer city retreat. The Hu Lie Army had an absolute advantage in military strength. The result of street fighting in the outer city would cause all the Xia army to be killed or injured. He had no choice but to order the retreat to defend the inner city.
Overnight, the morale of the army was gone, the morale was gone, even the last point
There is no hope.
Richard's mutiny was not finally completed. When the Tiger Lie Army entered the outer city, he ended the mutiny, and Li Renli and all the captured Han and Fan powerful people were released. It was meaningless, and the slaughter of brothers and sisters and killing each other accelerated the defeat of the country to a certain extent. Richard hated himself and his brothers and brothers. It was his indecisiveness that ruined the country's fortune, and it was his brothers and brothers who placed personal interests above the interests of the kingdom that ruined the country's fortune, and everything became meaningless.
The Hu Lie Army was advancing very fast. Hou Guai was commanding on the front line. All departments followed his orders and quickly rushed to the four gates of the inner city, intending to surround the Xia army in the outer city, but Brother Richard was faster. He firmly guarded the streets and alleys around the four gates to ensure the safe withdrawal of the outer city garrison troops.
It was dawn, and the outer city of Xingqing Prefecture was full of tiger and brigades, and the two sides fought bloody battles. The battle lasted until noon, and the Xia army on the front line of the West City finally failed to break through and was all annihilated. Although the Xia army in the other three directions retreated back to the inner city, the losses were great, especially the Xia army in the East City. Because Abaddon's horse army stole in front of them and ignited the houses on both sides of the main street, they were frantically blocked and killed during the retreat. In the end, only nearly a thousand people broke through were lucky.

When the fierce battle in the outer city of Xingqing Prefecture was in full swing, Li Hu warmly received Mei Zhao from Mouning in the tent.
Mei Zhao was very scared. In his impression, Li Hu was a bloody, cruel and untrustful hero. People like him who betrayed the country would not win Li Hu's trust. On the contrary, they would be killed by Li Hu at any time. Therefore, when he was desperate and had to surrender to Li Hu, the conditions he proposed were not high. He even only asked to retain the troops of two thousand people to ensure the safety of his tribe.
"I will definitely fulfill what I promised you." Li Hu asked Mouning Mei Zhao to sit down, first of all, comforted him and took the initiative to invite him to Chang'an.
The fact that Mei Zhao betrayed Daxia cannot be concealed, and it will sooner or later spread among the Dangxiang people. His life in the northwest will definitely not be easy, and he is very likely to be attacked and killed by other Dangxiang tribes, which is not conducive to the stability of the northwest, so Li Hu took the initiative to invite him to Chang'an.
Mouning Mei Zhao refused without thinking. Will he go to Chang'an? Doesn't that mean house arrest? He can't stay in Helan Mountain and can't go with his own troops.
When the people of the Luo tribe live together, they are rootless duckweed and can only be slaughtered by others.
Zhao Wenya's face changed slightly. He wanted to remind Mouning Mei Zhao, but it was too late. Mouning Mei Zhao had already refused Li Hu's invitation very firmly. Zhao Wenya sighed secretly, and Mouning Mei Zhao eventually brought him a life-threatening disaster because of fear and timidity.
Since Mouning Mei Zhao refused to agree, Li Hu did not force it. According to Mouning Mei Zhao's request, Li Hu allowed him to take his army back to the tribe's residence.
After seeing off Mouning Mei Zhao, Li Hu turned around and ordered Zhu Xia, "Immediately, tell Ayabu and ask him to kill Mouning Mei Zhao."
"Where is the tribe of Muning Mei Zhao?"
Li Hu hesitated for a moment and waved his hand decisively, "Let Ayabu deal with it by himself. He had made several requests to me, one of which was to kill the powerful and noble Dangxiang. Since that's the case, he would let him do this matter, and he must be very happy."
Soon, Zhao Wenya found an excuse to leave Mouning Mei Zhao, and returned to Li Hu's tent, begging Li Hu to let Mouning Mei Zhao go.
No matter what, without the surrender of Mouning Mei Zhao, the Huliu Army would not know when it would take place to attack Xingqing Prefecture.
"Renduo, the Mouning and Liang family are both important tribes and families in Daxia. The Dangxiang people rose up because of their joint efforts." Li Hu sneered, "I don't want to see the Dangxiang people rekindle and harm the northwest. Therefore, some people must be killed, and some people can be killed or not. I didn't want to kill Mouning Mei Zhao, but he was determined to die. What do you want me to do?"
Zhao Wenya begged Li Hu to give Mouning Mei Zhao another chance, and he would guarantee to persuade Mouning Mei Zhao to move his family to Chang'an.
Li Hu was very unhappy and left, "If you are worried that I will slaughter Xingqing Mansion, then you can leave. I will send someone to Chang'an immediately."
