Chapter 127 Chapter 126 Empress Li Xin

Li Xin, courtesy name Shiye, was the son of Li Hao, the Taizu of Xiliang.In September of the fourth year of Gengzi (AD 404), he was established as the prince, and King Wu Zhao succeeded to the throne after his death. Li Xin is different from his father, he likes to use torture, and he often spares no effort to repair the palace and have fun.Zhang Xian, who worked as a Zhonglang, couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Li Xin to remonstrate.Li Xin was furious when he heard this, and said, "I am the king of a country and I have my own ideas. You don't need to teach me." In July of the fourth year of Jiaxing (420 A.D.), Juqu Mengxun was about to send troops to Xiliang. In order to confuse Li Xin, Juqu Mengxun first led troops to pretend to attack West Qin Dynasty, and when he arrived in West Qin Dynasty, he pulled the army away without anyone noticing. Arrived at Chuanyan.

Li Xin didn't know Juqu Mengxun's trick, but wanted to take the opportunity to attack Zhangye, the capital of Northern Liang.Song Yao and Zhang Tishun tried to dissuade him repeatedly, but Li Xin refused to listen.Seeing that he was helpless, Song Yao asked Li Xin's mother, Queen Mother Yin, to dissuade him.The Empress Dowager Yin called Li Xin to her, and she burst into tears, and said, "You have only been on the throne for three years, the land is small and the people are few, and it is difficult to keep your own country. How can you have the strength to conquer Beiliang! Your father taught you to keep the country when he was dying. , to appease the people, don’t use troops lightly. Your father’s words are still ringing in your ears, how can you ignore them! Juqu Mengxun is good at using troops to fight, and you are no match for him. Although Xiliang’s territory is a little small, you only need to manage it well , appease the people, and the people of Beiliang will return to you. If you act recklessly and try to win by chance, not only will you lose your army, but you will also destroy your country and family!" The Queen Mother Yin's words also did not change Li Xin's plan to send troops.Song Yao knew that it was impossible to save, so he could only sigh: "The general trend is gone!"

After Li Xin left Jiuquan with 30,000 soldiers, Juqu Mengxun smiled and said to his subordinates: "Li Xin has fallen into my trap." Then he pretended to attack Huanggu.Li Xin thought he was smart, so he led his troops into Dudujian.When Meng Xun waited for Li Xin to enter Dudujian, he suddenly launched a fierce attack and defeated Li Xin in Huaicheng.At this time, someone advised Li Xin to go back to defend Jiuquan quickly.Li Xin said with a sad face, "If I don't kill Juqu Mengxun, what face do I have to see my mother again?" After speaking, he got on his horse and commanded the soldiers to fight against Juqu Mengxun again, but was killed by Juqu Mengxun in Liaoquan. .
