Gushi Khan's envoys came to Zanla City again. This time they no longer looked as friendly as last time, but came to deliver an ultimatum.
"Bu'erjixibo, the Great Khan orders you to immediately hand over the city of Zanla, present your household registration list, and submit to me and the Shuote Khanate."
Seeing the arrogance of the envoy, Bu'erjixi regretted that he had not sent troops to rescue Sang Jiepeng. Now that the Mongols had chopped down Sang Jiepeng's big tree, there was no need to be polite to his sapling.
Bu'er Jixi owns the land of Zanla (Xiao Jinchuan) and Zhenba (Dajinchuan), with tens of thousands of people and seven thousand armored men.
Although he knew that he could not defeat the Mongols, he was still determined to defend the territory left to him by his ancestors.
"You go back and tell Gushi Khan that he wants the land of our Jiarong people, so he will give us blood in exchange for it!"
"You'll regret it, you'll regret it," the envoy said fiercely, preparing to leave.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute," Bu'erji chuckled, "When you come to Zanla City, how can you go back without leaving something behind?"
"What do you want?"
"Your ears".
Bu'er Jixi cut off the envoy's ear and contacted the major chieftains in southern Jiarong to jointly fight against the Mongols.
The enemy is at hand. Muping Chieftain Jiancannanha, Yutong Chieftain Danhan Zhazhaba, Wasi Chieftain Qu Yishen, and Wori Chieftain Babitai all led their troops to help. More than 30,000 troops gathered in Zanla City.< /p>
Their soldiers and horses were not as strong as Sang Jiepeng's soldiers and horses, and they did not dare to fight in the field with the Mongols. Instead, they relied on the strong city and formed a stronghold to defend it. Bu'er Jixi, Qu Yishen, and Babi prefect guarded the city, and Jianshennanha Danhan and Zakba set up a stronghold outside the city, acting as horns for each other.
Gianshen Nanha said to Danzhan Zakba: "Danzhen Zhakpa, when will the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive?"
Gianshen Nanha and Danhan Zakba are pro-Ming sects in the eight tribes of Jiarong. They have served as the consolation envoys of Dongbuhan and Hu Xuan of the Ming Dynasty for generations, as well as the consolation envoys of Changhexi, Yutong and Ningyuan.
Danhan Zakba replied: "I have asked General Fan Youxian, the general who conquered the west, and Fan Yiheng, the governor of Sichuan, for help. Fan Duxian has agreed to send troops. It is estimated that reinforcements will arrive soon."
"That's good, that's good!"
Jianshen Nanha clasped his hands together and murmured.
??
"What! Bu'er Jixi cut off your ear!"
When Gushi Khan saw the miserable state of his envoy, he was furious. He beat the dog and looked at the owner. This is not taking this Khan seriously!
When the profuse sweat got angry, millions of corpses were laid on the ground, bleeding and floating in the oars.
More than 70,000 Mongolian troops marched towards Zanla City.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Mongols opened fire, and Zanla City was more like an earthen fortress than a city. Under the roar of the shells, Zanla City was torn open by several gaps.
"Haorui", "Haorui", "Haorui"??
The Mongols shouted long live and rushed towards the gap like a strong wind.
Seeing that the city of Zanla was in danger, Danhan Zakbal ordered Yutong Tushe Shen Village to lead two thousand soldiers to the rescue.
"Da da da da da", the eighth son of Gushi Khan, Gunbuchahui, led 5,000 horsemen and rushed towards Shen Village, and the rolling torrent submerged Shen Village.
Bu'erjixi could not resist and was forced to retreat from Zanla City to Jiancannanha and Danhan Zakba camp outside the city. The Mongolian soldiers pursued them closely. The defeated soldiers broke into the camp and the Jiarong people were defeated and retreated. To Xiucheng (Dajinchuan).
Before he could take a breath, Gushi Khan's fourth son Ayush, fifth son Yilduzi, and sixth son Dorji arrived with 20,000 pursuing troops.
The morale of the army was gone, and the chieftains had no choice but to abandon Cujin City and continue southward, retreating towards Muping City.
"Drive, drive, drive", Bu'er Jixi hit the horse and ran wildly.
"Drive, drive, drive", Yildu all chased him, threw out the lasso, and captured Bu'er Jixi.
The territory of the Wori chieftain Babitai was very close to Jiuzhen City. In order to keep his territory, he had no choice but to surrender to Gushi Khan.
Gushi Khan was overjoyed and comforted him with warm words. He also asked Bu'er Jixi to be escorted, "Bu'er Jixi, you are so bold that you dare to cut off the ear of this Khan's envoy. Do you know your guilt now?"
Bu'er Jixi looked up to the sky and laughed: "The Great Khan wants to take away my ancestral land, is it possible that I still have to feed your envoys with good food and drink?"
"Now that we have come to this point, we still dare to speak harshly. Jiarong people's bones are really made of iron." Gushi Khan sneered, "Someone, give him a decent way to die. Put him in a cowhide bag and sink into the Yarlung Zangbo River."
This method of death is indeed decent. It is the custom of the Mongols to execute nobles. Ordinary people are not treated like this. When Gushi Khan conquered Lhasa, he used this method to execute Zangba Khan Karma Danjong Wangpo.
After Bu'er Jixi was drowned, Gushi Khan ordered to continue southward and attack Muping City.
"Father Khan, our army is tired from fighting for a long time. Let's rest for a day and pursue again tomorrow." The seventh son Hulumushi, the eighth son Gonbu Chahui, and the ninth son Sanggarza all asked for a day's rest.
"No, we have worked hard, and the enemy has worked even harder! There is no better opportunity than now. Catch up with them, surround them, and destroy them." Gushi Khan paused and then said: "Tell the sons that we have defeated Mu." Ping, let them loot freely for three days."
Gushi Khan regarded Qinghai and Tibet as his own back garden and did not allow soldiers to plunder. The Mongol army had almost forgotten how to plunder. I heard that after capturing Muping, the Khan allowed himself to roam freely for three days, and the morale of the Mongolian soldiers was high. Zhen, "Haorui", "Haorui", "Haorui" are constantly being called.
"We are determined to join Nanha Jiebo. Our army is newly defeated and Muping cannot be defended. It is better to withdraw the people to my territory to fight for arrows. To the east is Yazhou, which is controlled by the imperial court, and to the west is Litang, which is controlled by the imperial court. "With the support of the Ming Dynasty army, even Gushi Khan did not dare to pursue." Yutong Chieftain Tan Hezhakba persuaded Muping Chieftain to join Nanha.
Jianshennanha sighed, "Alas! This is what we have to do."
The two then abandoned Muping City and took the Muping people with them to retreat to Dajianlu.
The Mongolian soldiers pursued Muping, but they only found an empty city. Their dream of plundering was shattered. In a rage, they burned Muping down.
??
Dark clouds were pressing down on the city, and in Yibin County, the capital of Xuzhou, Sichuan, General Fan Youxian, Governor of Sichuan, Fan Yiheng, Governor Chen Bangyan, and Deputy General Li Dingguo hurriedly discussed countermeasures for Gushi Khan's eastward expedition.
"Alas! The country is in such troubled times! Let me tell you, gentlemen, how should we deploy in response to Gushi Khan's eastward march?"
Fan Yiheng, the governor of Sichuan, looked at General Fan Youxian and asked. Although he is the governor, he can only mobilize some local troops. Most of Sichuan's troops are in the hands of Fan Youxian.
"Fan Duxian does not need to worry. If the soldiers come, they will block it. When the water comes, the soil will cover it. Just fight back." Fan Youxian is Zhu Hengjia's minister of Conglong. He has a powerful army in his hand, and he is very confident in the word "fight".
"The last general is willing to lead his army to fight against Gushi Khan", Li Dingguo asked loudly.
"Hongyuan is willing to go to build the arrow stove, and the governor will feel relieved." Fan Yiheng was overjoyed.
"No", Chen Bangyan had a different view, "I heard that Na Gushi Khan only recruited 80,000 soldiers and horses for his invasion of the East. If he wanted to invade the Ming Dynasty, he would not only recruit such a number of people. I feel that his
The target should only be the Eighth Division of Jiarong. Troops must be sent to attack the arrow stove, but there is no need for heavy troops. The ones we should be most wary of at the moment are Li Guoying and Li Guohan of Baoning Prefecture, and Wu Sangui of Chengdu Prefecture.
Fan Youxian looked at the map of Sichuan carefully and nodded slowly, "What Hongyuan said is very reasonable! Hongyuan will lead the army to garrison Qiongzhou, Meizhou and Jiading; Wang Deren, Song Kuiguang, and Yan Sizhong will go to Shunqing Mansion to resist the two Li
"As for the arrow furnace, we will send Wang Ziqi and Yang Bingyin's troops to go."
When he heard that Gushi Khan was advancing eastward, Wen Anzhi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, could not sit still and ordered Liu Zhenguo, Lei Qisheng, and Leng Yangchun to strictly guard the Litang area and block Gushi Khan's road into Yunnan.
