It's not just about being able to fight.
Not only do you need to be good at fighting, but you also need to know how to be a good official.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to hold onto their official positions.
How can one talk about leading troops into battle?
Especially when Tong Guan was in power,
Many valiant generals were forced to leave the Western Army.
There are many talented and extraordinary people in the world.
It's not that anyone is indispensable.
He showed his dissatisfaction in front of the king.
Even if Your Majesty is tolerant,
Other generals might also take this to heart.
Who knows, one day they might teach you a lesson.
Zhao Yuan dismissed the three men.
Then he sent Li Jun to bring Li Qianshun.
Before long, Li Jun brought Li Qianshun up with Tong Wei and Tong Meng.
Around forty years old
A yellow robe,
Wearing a golden crown,
A red ribbon hung from the back of the crown.
When Zhao Yuan sized up Li Qianshun,
Li Qianshun was also sizing up Zhao Yuan, who was wearing a robe with four claws and a golden dragon.
The king's black-based robes clearly exuded a more composed and dignified air compared to Li Qianshun's attire.
Li Qianshun, now a prisoner, felt a chilling atmosphere.
Li Jun saw that Li Qianshun had no intention of bowing.
He was about to kick him in the back of the knee.
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Don't make things difficult for a dying man."
Li Qianshun had always admired the culture of the Central Plains.
He could naturally understand Mandarin, and upon hearing this, he quickly replied...
"Is the Great Liang preparing for a fight to the death with my Western Xia?"
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "You are also a ruler of a country."
"Could there be a war between the two countries that will last until the death?"
Li Qianshun said, "Others might have compromised."
"But my son, Li Ren'ai, is extremely filial,"
“If you kill me, he will surely come with the whole country to avenge his father.”
Seeing Li Qianshun's serious expression, Zhao Yuan smiled and said...
"I heard that Li Ren'ai is only a teenager,"
"I'm afraid even controlling the entire country would be difficult,"
"Not to mention the fact that she came with the power to bring down a nation."
Zhao Yuan and Li Qianshun exchanged a few words.
Then the curiosity was gone.
Perhaps it's because they can't let go of national affairs.
Or perhaps they can't let go of wealth and status.
Li Qianshun, however, was willing to pay a large sum of money to redeem himself.
They even traded several prefectures of Western Xia for a chance to survive.
However, Zhao Yuan had already made arrangements.
How could they possibly change their minds because of Li Qianshun's death throes?
Perhaps it hasn't reached the Western Xia yet.
Li Ren'ai then ascended the throne.
At that time, most of Li Qianshun's orders will be ignored.
Zhao Yuan ordered Tong Wei and Tong Meng to take Li Qianshun away.
He even specifically instructed that the matter of beheading be entrusted to Li Kui.
Li Jun saw that Li Qianshun had been dealt with.
He then picked up the sheathed sword in his hand.
"This is Li Qianshun's sword,"
"I have tested it, and it can cut through iron like mud."
Everyone in the hall was aware of the sharpness of the Western Xia sword.
Upon hearing this, they all looked at him with burning eyes.
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "After killing Brother Cha,"
"I have already acquired a Western Xia sword,"
"Keep this sword."
Fine swords and precious blades have always been prized by military generals.
After Li Jun tried Li Qianshun's sword,
They became quite fond of it.
If it were an ordinary thing,
He could also be kept as spoils of war.
However, he dared not keep such a treasure for himself.
I have no choice but to give it up, even though it hurts.
But the king bestowed it upon him without even looking at it.
When everyone heard that the king had bestowed such a treasure upon Li Jun,
Their minds also became active.
He pondered what he could offer Li Jun in exchange.
Hua Rong also stood up and said, "I have captured Li Qianshun's mount."
Li Qianshun's bow and arrows were also seized.
But Hua Rong didn't say anything.
Hua Rong was also skilled in archery.
But they also used a powerful bow.
Li Qianshun's bow, however, was exquisitely crafted but lacked power.
For Hua Rong,
They're all just decorations.
Not to mention the king who used the Divine Arm Bow.
Zhao Yuan naturally understood the allure of these things to martial artists.
"Then I'll take it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
In this era,
A fine horse is the best means of transportation.
Emperors throughout history have enjoyed collecting fine horses.
Zhao Yuan didn't mind having a few more horses.
But the world is not yet settled.
Giving them as a reward to a general is far more useful than having him collect them and ride them in rotation.
Chapter 1864 Everyone Has Their Own Ambition
The army then set up camp at Deshun Army's location.
At the same time, the Great King defeated the 400,000-strong army of Li Qianshun and Chage of Western Xia.
Li Qianshun and Cha Ge were killed.
News of the capture of more than 60,000 prisoners spread far and wide.
The cavalry, shouting "Great Victory!", marched through the prefectures and counties.
The people along the way were all speculating about what kind of victory the king had won.
The people fleeing to the interior all stopped in their tracks.
Waiting for the imperial court's official report.
After receiving Zhao Yuan's ultimatum, the prefect of Qinzhou...
They wouldn't dare to try and stop a chariot.
He fled south with his family overnight.
Zhao Yuan sent Yao Gu to take over the Qin Prefecture troops.
Temporarily in charge of the military and political affairs of Qin Prefecture
We await the imperial court to appoint a new prefect.
Although the situation in Shaanxi is complex,
However, a system of separate governance for civil and military officials was also implemented.
The practice of generals having control over both military and political affairs has been discontinued.
Three days after the end of the great battle,
The 50,000 barbarian soldiers summoned by Zhong Shidao finally arrived from Weizhou.
De Shunjun is gradually restoring order.
The city's residents gradually returned.
The army also left the city and set up camp.
Han Shizhong and his two companions had not yet set off.
When the tribal leaders entered the large village,
Seeing the tanned head of Li Qianshun hanging above the gate,
They felt even more that the king's divine power was unfathomable.
Ordinary people simply cannot resist it.
Arrived at the central command tent,
Without realizing it, they knelt down on the ground.
