Because Renta Hochō is more capable of leading troops.
The Rendo family lives on the border between the two countries.
Only by electing a skilled and courageous chieftain can the number of tribe members killed in battle be reduced.
Ren Duohan's son grew up with Ren Duo Baozhong.
Although they are not blood brothers,
But their feelings for each other were also very deep.
Although some discord arose over the position of clan leader,
But they weren't exactly enemies.
Therefore, Rendo Baozhong thought of giving the most beautiful girl in his family to the King of Liang.
This was done to secure more benefits for the Rendo family.
Chapter 1931 To Save My Life
Renduo Baozhong wanted Li Ren'ai to hand over Renduojier.
It was entirely due to the customs of the Tangut people.
Many Tangut young men and women,
After mutual affection,
They ran together to the top of the hill.
Lie down side by side,
He strangled himself with a rope.
Moreover, the family did not treat it as a funeral.
Instead, they believed that the two had found true love.
Family members will gather relatives and friends,
Wrap the two of them up with colorful silk.
Then wrap it with felt on the outside.
Slaughtering cattle as a sacrifice
Then choose high mountains and steep ridges.
Erect a tall wooden fence,
Place the body on it.
A group of people shouted, "Yu Fei has ascended to heaven!"
Friends and relatives beat drums and drank wine under the wooden fence.
The celebration lasted a full day before they dispersed.
In Rendo Yasutada's view, this custom was undoubtedly foolish.
Because young men and women committed suicide for love.
It affected the survival and reproduction of the tribe.
However, this custom is deeply ingrained in people's minds.
He couldn't change it either.
Renduo Baozhong was also afraid that Renduo Jier would die for Li Ren'ai.
That's why it was proposed that Li Ren'ai present it to the King of Liang.
Once Li Ren'ai betrays Ren Duojier
Rendojir would not have committed suicide for love.
Yelü Nanxian also noticed Renduo Baozhong's worries.
However, she was more concerned about her son's life.
Therefore, he said from the side,
"General Rendo is right,"
"We are now barely able to save ourselves,"
"Do you expect Rendojir to suffer with us?"
"Since General Rendo says so,"
"That means the previous marriage agreement is still valid,"
“Rendojir is considered a member of our Weiming family,”
"Your offering to the King of Liang is also a meritorious deed."
Li Ren'ai was told that he was to personally deliver his betrothed wife to the King of Liang in Daliang.
His breathing became rapid.
His nostrils made a whooshing sound like bellows.
Yelü Nanxian didn't know what else to say.
Rendo Yasutada picked up a glass of wine and slowly drank it.
The three remained silent until Zhao Yuan announced the end of the banquet.
The people in the hall all stood up to respectfully see off King Liang.
Yelü Nanxian and Renduo Baozhong saw that Li Ren'ai remained silent.
He was secretly anxious.
Zhao Yuan and his group of Liang generals were about to leave the main hall.
Li Ren'ai gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Ren'ai has something to report."
Ren Duobaozhong and Yelü Nanxian watched as Li Renai spoke.
They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Yuan turned to look at Li Ren'ai.
"What's the matter with you?"
Li Ren'ai glanced at the group of Tangut people in the hall.
Feeling utterly ashamed, he bent down and said,
"Ren'ai wanted to speak to King Liang privately."
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, then come with me."
The Tangut people watched as Li Ren'ai followed the King of Liang out.
They all looked at Rendo Yasutada with suspicion.
Just now, Ren Duo Baozhong and Li Ren'ai, mother and son, were whispering to each other.
Everyone saw it.
They also felt that Rendo Hochō was too arrogant.
Not knowing how to avoid suspicion,
It seems that the King of Liang has already taken note of this.
They'll suffer a lot in the future.
It now appears that Ren Duo Baozhong is persuading Li Ren'ai to serve the Liang King.
They have already achieved their goal.
The generals of Liang had no idea what Li Ren'ai was going to say.
After Zhao Yuan left the palace, they all took their leave and departed.
Although Renli withdrew his troops.
However, the city's defenses were not relaxed.
Zhao Yuan's personal guards also retreated to a distance of ten paces.
Li Ren'ai looked around to make sure no one else was there before speaking.
"There is a woman in the House of Benevolence,"
"She is the most beautiful woman in our Xia Kingdom,"
"I offer my benevolence to King Liang,"
"Serve the King of Liang."
Zhao Yuan looked at the fourteen-year-old Li Ren'ai and smiled.
"how old is she?"
Li Ren'ai said, "He is one year younger than Ren'ai, and is thirteen years old this year."
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "The number one beauty at thirteen, haha."
"Keep it for yourself, I'm not interested."
Seeing Zhao Yuan turn to leave, Li Ren'ai hurriedly said...
"Although Rendojir is young,"
"But she was like a fairy from birth,"
"That's why she was called the First Beauty."
Zhao Yuan turned his head and asked, "A member of the Renduo family?"
Li Ren'ai nodded and said, "The granddaughter of the current head of the Renduo family."
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Was this what Ren Duo Baozhong was talking to you about just now?"
Although Lee In-ae was unwilling to admit it
But I'm also afraid Zhao Yuan will misunderstand.
She could only suppress her embarrassment and say, "Yes."
"Is there nothing else you can do besides women?"
Li Ren'ai naturally didn't want to admit this, and blushed as she said...
"If the King of Liang permits, Ren'ai can issue orders to the various military commanders,"
"Make them submit to the Great Liang."
"Okay, regardless of success or failure,"
"You'll be granted a noble title without a doubt,"
"I guarantee you a life free from financial worries for the rest of your days."
.....
Zhong Shidao's army took three days.
They then traveled from Mingsha to Xingqing Prefecture.
They easily captured the empty city of Lingzhou along the way.
Lingzhou is the southernmost point of the Yinchuan Plain.
Zhong Shidao ordered Yang Zhi to lead 10,000 troops to garrison Lingzhou.
Unfortunately, the main force and Renli's troops just missed each other.
Missed the opportunity to make a contribution
Zhong Shidao's army acquired Mingsha and Lingzhou without any major incidents.
