On the battlefield.
Zhao Rui still didn't know how big of a storm he had caused in Xianyang.
Now, he was following the strategy that he had discussed with Meng Tian and the others the other day.
They started to pull back Great Qin's army.
That day, they had already carefully studied their next attack on Xixia.
To them now.
The most important thing was not how many cities they had conquered.
The territory of the Xixia Kingdom was neither big nor small.
There were at least dozens of cities along the way.
If they were to capture all of them now.
Then, their army would definitely be very scattered.
Instead of splitting up the army and giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it, he would not be able to do so.
He might as well choose to attack directly!
Send out troops to control the key cities at the border between Great Qin and Western Xia.
Then, they would gather their forces and take down Lingzhou Prefecture in one fell swoop!
This way, Silver River would be theirs.
At that time, the entire Western Xia would be completely destroyed in their hands.
This time, Meng Tian had led an army of about 80,000 elites.
Right now, they only had around 60,000 soldiers.
The remaining 20,000 were still scattered.
In the previous few months of battle.
They had always been fighting.
There were also more than a dozen battles of different scales.
Such a battle rhythm was helpful to Zhao Rui, who had the help of the system.
Or the veterans like Meng Tian and Meng Ze, who had been through hundreds of battles, were nothing.
However, it was already a huge burden for these recruits.
If they continued to fight like this.
Perhaps the recruits would also have problems in their hearts.
At that time, the situation of the entire Qin army would be dire!
In addition, even though Great Qin's soldiers were brave and brave, they were still able to fight.
However, they were still tired.
If the battle continued like this…
No matter how passionate he was, it would not last long.
In summary.
No matter how one looked at it.
If he continued to delay like this.
It was not a good choice for them.
Therefore, after a discussion, they decided to temporarily recuperate in Three Rivers City.
Then, he gathered the scattered Qin army.
After controlling the key cities behind them.
He quickly gathered all the remaining military forces and went straight for the enemy.
They took down Lingzhou Prefecture in one go!
A few days later, the army officially set off for Lingzhou Prefecture.
Lingzhou Prefecture.
As the highest-ranking general of the Western Xia army, Yeli Yuqi was extremely furious.
He had never thought that the situation would turn out like this.
This was all Helian Tieshu's fault!
If not for his arrogance.
With the fortifications of Three Rivers City and the 50,000 elite soldiers he had.
No matter what, the city would not have been breached in less than a day.
Now, even his own head had been used as a military merit by Great Qin's people.
This was simply infuriating him!
The more he thought about it, the angrier Yuri Yuqi became. His eyes turned red as he smashed the teacup on the table beside him.
Then, he pulled out his saber and chopped the chair into pieces.
It seemed that this was the only way to calm him down.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
The subordinates outside the door knelt on the ground one after another, not daring to make any noise.
"General, the king has sent an edict.”
Yeli Yuqi heard the voice of his confidant outside the room.
Only then did he control the anger in his mind and try his best to calm himself down.
"Come in."
The confidant handed the letter over and left the room.
Yeli Yuqi opened the letter.
He hadn't finished reading the letter.
He could no longer control the anger that surged up in his heart!
"That damned Li Yuanhao actually dared to take advantage of the situation.”
"They want to use the Helian family's heritage to force me to lower my head and hand over half of the rights to use the Iron Sparrow.”
"This is simply a dream!"
Yeli Yuqi did not expect that Li Yuanhao would dare to try to take over his Iron Sparrow.
Iron Sparrow was a heavy cavalry trained by the first emperor of Xixia.
Its legacy had always been passed down in the Xixia royal family.
It was because he had gained the former king's trust.
That was why he was able to obtain the command of half of the Iron Sparrows.
The other half of the command was in the hands of the Helian family, the number one family in Western Xia.
This military power was his foundation in the Xixia army.
It was also his last trump card to survive.
He would never hand it over to anyone!
Li Yuanhao actually wanted to take away his military power and even joined forces with the Helian family to put pressure on him.
It was simply stupid!
He had no choice but to lead his army back to Silver Stream.
He wanted to kill all the villains of the Helian family and that idiot Li Yuanhao.
However, he could not go anywhere now.
The army of the Great Qin Dynasty was about to arrive at Lingzhou Prefecture.
He had to focus all of his power to defend against Great Qin's army.
If Great Qin's army were to break through Lingzhou Prefecture…
At that time, there would be no chance for the entire Xixia Kingdom to recover.
Thinking of this, for the sake of the entire Western Xia.
No matter how much Yeli Yuqi wanted to return to Silver Stream, he couldn't act rashly now.
He had to wait until he completely defeated Great Qin's army before deciding on anything else.
Silver Stream Palace.
At this moment, Li Yuanhao was sitting in the study and discussing with the Helian Clan's Patriarch.
"Clan Leader Helian, do you think Yeli Yuqi will really give in?”
Li Yuanhao was a little worried.
He knew Yeli Yuqi's strength and prestige in the army.
To be honest, a lot of the credit for him being able to sit on the current throne was due to Ye Li Yuqi.
If he really could not succeed, it was unknown whether he could continue to be the emperor.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured."
"I'm sure that Yeli Yuqi won't do anything at this time.”
"Next, we just need to keep using the fishing vessels from the inner court.”
"Constantly weakening Yeli Yuqi's authority.”
"Once Great Qin's army retreats, Yeli Yuqi will have no choice but to surrender.”
"The Helian family will always support the king and let the king become a true monarch.”
The Helian Clan Leader's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery as he spoke respectfully.
Help the king?
This was just talk.
He didn't want Li Yuanhao to become a true sovereign.
The Helian family was the one that ruled the entire Western Xia.
He wanted to use Li Yuanhao to get rid of Yeli Yuqi.
