"I am not the General of the Yuan Dynasty's Conquest of the South for a long time. What do you have to do with me if you surrender to the General?" Li Luoyu said jokingly.

Chen Yiji reacted quickly and immediately threw himself into the dust. "Chen Yiji, surrender to Tang Gong! Pay a visit to... Pay a visit to the Lord!"

"Haha!" Li Luo couldn't help laughing loudly and pointed at the horse whip, "You were once the prince of Annan. Are you willing to bow to me, the king of Tang?"

His words are hidden, and it depends on how Chen Yiji answers.

It is true that Chen Yiji is a corrupt person, but he is smart enough, especially a little clever.

He immediately reacted and said loudly: "Now I am the servant who is the one who is on the horse. I kneel down to worship the emperor and I am willing to do so! As for the former land of Annan, it was originally defeated by the emperor, so it will naturally belong to the emperor."

Li Luo was very satisfied when he heard this. Well, Chen Yiji's answer passed.

By then, the Tang army will recover Jiaozhou (Annan), and this person will be of great use. Since it is of great use, let's keep it.

"Okay, since you sincerely submit, I will spare you and loosen your ties!" Li Luo ordered.

Chen Yiji was overjoyed. After he loosened his ties, he took the initiative to bow again, "I thank you for your life, and I will definitely be heartbroken..."

"shut up!"

Hudu Timur was furious, "Chen Yiji, Manggusi (the devil king of Mongolia legend) devoured your courage, Mao Wusipo (the demon lady) chewed your bones! Even the hornless ewe and the cowardly rabbit are more like a warrior than you! You will be eaten by the large intestine insect (the devil insect) on the Gobi, like a wild dog begging for food everywhere on the grassland!"

This is really the most vicious swearing in Mongolia, and it is actually a curse. Especially when the shaman uses magic weapons to speak, it will cause the cursed person to collapse.

Fortunately, Hudu Timur is not a shaman, and Chen Yiji cannot understand such complicated Mongolian dialect.

However, Chen Yiji knew that Hudu Timur was scolding him.

Chen Yiji blushed and cursed: "You are just a savage butcher! What qualifications do you have to insult me? Humph, what will happen to a group of uncivilized Tartars? You are a role model!"

As soon as he surrendered to Li Luo, he immediately trembled and no longer had any fear of his previous master.

When the Tang army and the Liang army generals saw each other quarrel, they couldn't help but sneer.

Several Han officials also learned from Chen Yiji and demanded surrender. Before, when Li Luo was the Pingzhang of Huguang, they thought that Li Luo was undermined by Hudu Timur and did not take Li Luo seriously.

Now they finally understood how could Li Luo be overshadowed by Hudu Timur? That was just a rebellion.

It's so stupid to wait for others yourself.

Li Luo would not accept the surrender of these former colleagues. These people had long sold their souls to the Mongol Yuan and helped the Mongol Yuan to exploit the people. It was so cruel that there was no good thing.

"Duke Liang, they will leave it to you. Whether to die or live, Liang will decide." Li Luo was too lazy to kill them, so he handed it all over to Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin wanted to say, "Then I thank Mr. Tang." Then he ordered: "Take them back to Jiangling and kill them in front of the people of the whole city!"

"Your Majesty! Please spare your life!"

"Your Majesty! I am willing to serve Daliang!"

Several provincial Han officials cried and shouted to survive, but where could they survive?

Li Luo was too lazy to talk to the prisoners anymore. He handed over Hudu Timur and others to Xiao Yin, and then released Dadali on the spot.

Dadali was a rare upright man among Mongolian generals. He had both the loyalty and courage of military generals and the cruelty of other Mongolian generals, so Li Luo decided to spare his life.

Li Luo wrote a letter on the spot: The king of Tang Dynasty wrote a letter to the Mongolian Khan.

The book says: "Li Luo, the king of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a letter to the Great Khan of Mongolia. The people of China and the people of civilization can not be slaves for a day. The fertile soil of the nine provinces and the place where farming can not be farmed for a day.

Khan must observe my words.

Khan used millions of tribes to serve 100 million Xia people. With his ignorant subordinates, he was able to overwhelm the great country thousands of miles away, which is the way to cause disaster. Since ancient times, those who have made small fortunes have shown strength for a while, so how can they last? With Khan's wisdom, he should know that the Central Plains cannot go, and the going cannot be humiliated, and the humiliation cannot be defeated.

I saw that when I came south, I didn’t know that the future was panic, and I couldn’t return to the north? Those who were superiors were not prepared for danger in times of peace, had a far-sighted vision, and judged the situation, thinking that they were planning for future generations?

Since Khan was the wise ruler of Mongolia, he would rather plan for a while than plan for a lifetime? If the world rebels and flies and smoke from the Central Plains are everywhere, what can I do? Isn’t it too late to regret it?

The Han people are not cattle and sheep on the street, but are actually lions and tigers in cages. Cages are shackles of Zhao Song. After the Zhao Song Dynasty was destroyed, lions and tigers came out. Khan used tigers and wolves to control lions and tigers to gain access. Can they get it? They must be eaten up, while few will be defeated, and the many will win. This is the way of heaven.

As I see, if Khan returns to my country and returns to the north of the desert, we will be at peace and peace in the world, so why not do it?

Even if you don’t want to return north, why not lead your army to expedition west while the Spring and Autumn Period is in its prime. The land in the west, with the Fengyuan thousands of miles, can be used as a pasture. With the power of the Khan and the courage of the Mongolian army, it will be even more expedition to the west.

To the south of the west, there are also thousands of miles of abundant soil and lush grass. It is suitable for pastures and feudal heroes. Their people are dark and ugly, lazy and ignorant, and they can be slaves.

Are these two places not God-given Khan? If God-given does not take it, he will suffer the consequences. With the power of the Yuan Dynasty at this time, the Western Expedition is unstoppable. At that time, the Khan will destroy many countries, and I am afraid that Genghis Khan will not be able to reach it.

On the day of the Khan's expedition, when Tang Yuan cultivated his career. At that time, I could help Khan's expedition and advance to the Western Khan..."

Li Luo's tone of this letter was quite polite, showing his demeanor. There is only one meaning: the Central Plains is not a place where you rule by barbarism, and will sooner or later be overthrown. If you have the vision, you will either take the initiative to return to the north of the Mo, or fight westward to conquer Western Europe and Africa.

Of course, Kublai Khan would not take this letter seriously, but at least he could plant a seed in his heart and the Yuan court ministers. Maybe this seed can really break through the ground and germinate in the future, promoting the larger and more thorough Western Expedition of the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty.

Li Luo knew very well that even if he restored the Central Plains, he could only expel the Tartars and could not completely destroy the Mongol Yuan. They were originally a horse-like nation, but they really couldn't beat it. If you rode on a horse and ran, you could catch up? He was so strong in the early Ming Dynasty that he could not destroy the Mongol Yuan.

Even if the Yuan court cannot be completely destroyed, we must force it to expedition the west and let them show their might in the Western world and Africa.

Finally, Li Luo asked Dadali to bring this letter to him and return to the north of the river.

A few days later, Hudu Timur died tragically in Jiangling. As for how he died, it is unknown to the outside world. It is said that he died of a terrifying insect punishment. The person who killed Hudu Timur was rumored to be His Royal Highness Princess Light.

Apumuha was beheaded in half, and several other senior Han officials were also beheaded by Xiao Yin in the city.

Li Luo gave all the capture of the Battle of Jianli to Xiao Yin. More than 10,000 prisoners were divided equally by the two families, and they were all military slaves and coolies.

The news of the entire Huguang Yuan army being wiped out, and the entire south was shocked. The Yuan court officials and forces supporting the Yuan court in various places were frightened and hated Li Luo in their teeth.

I don’t know how many orders to mobilize troops are being issued, and I don’t know how many forces are planning a counterattack. Especially the landlords and the nobles of the southwest chieftains all started to move.

Hudu Timur's Huguang army has been destroyed, and Li Luo's next focus is to assist Jianmen Pass and Wu Pass.

The Tang army in these two levels held on for several months, and the food and grass weapons were exhausted and they were almost unable to hold on.

Li Luo wanted to support the two passes, while Xiao Yin recruited soldiers and recaptured other prefectures and counties in Huguang with Li Luo's consent. With Li Luo's indulgence and support, Xiao Liang's strength quickly recovered.

Li Luo was stationed in Ezhou and lived in Pingzhang's official residence where he had lived, and dispatched troops to support the two passes.

"Your Majesty, our army has not enough gunpowder." Ma Zhiyuan came to see Li Luo with a little worried. "This time, gunpowder cannot be missing. Maybe within one month, our army will not have gunpowder supplements."

Li Luo smiled and said, "Brother Qianli, you, the marching Sima, are really competent. Don't worry, the wife is already solving the problem of gunpowder."

There is actually no good solution to the problem. It is nothing more than trying to increase the output and re-storing gunpowder.

Four months after the Tang army launched its army, tens of thousands of firearms and navy troops consumed a large amount of gunpowder. The gunpowder transported to the two levels alone exceeded 200,000 kilograms. Only less than 20% of the gunpowder produced in Haidong was left.

One big battle can be used up.

Black gunpowder is not like yellow gunpowder, and the consumption is amazing. A firearm soldier will cost more than one or two medicines once it fires. The launch of cannons is even more calculated by pounds.

After the Tang army obtained 30,000 craftsmen around Poyang Lake, the technical talents were already very abundant. However, the supply of nitrate has been tight, which greatly restricted the expansion of output. Li Luo also had no idea where the nitrate was produced.

…………

In the Qinling Mountains, above Wu Pass, there was a long shout of killing sound, and it fell silent again.

The Yuan army attacked again and was finally defeated.

Liu Weitai, the commander of the Tang army, sat on the wall exhausted and cursed: "These traitors are endless. Tens of thousands of people have died in the front and back, and they still have to continue to work for the Tartars."

On the narrow battlefield north of the city, there were corpses of the traitor army everywhere. Some were shot to death, some were killed by muskets, and some were killed by artillery.

The Yuan army has been attacking Wuguan for three months.

Wuguan firmly blocked the passage of the northern Yuan army to the south. In order to quickly open the passage, the Yuan court ordered the northern Han army to attack in turn. Over the past few months, the traitor army has tackled dozens of times, with tens of thousands of casualties, but they have always sighed at the entrance.

Especially the artillery and guns on Wuguan made the traitor army scared. However, under the strict orders of the Mongolian Seme generals, the traitor army had to attack again and again, consuming the Tang army's ammunition.

Although this tactic is to waste human lives, it is not without effect. The Tang army's gunpowder is almost exhausted.

There are only more than 3,000 regular Tang troops left. There are only more than 2,000 auxiliary soldiers left.

The total amount is six thousand.

What's even more terrible is that the Tang army guarded the pass on both sides. On the one hand, they had to resist the Yuan army north of the pass, and on the other hand, they had to resist the Yuan army in Huguang in the south of the pass.

This number of soldiers and horses defended on both sides for several months. The Yuan army in Guanbei had at least 100,000, while the Yuan army in Huguang in Guannan had more than 10,000 people.

It was simply a wheel battle. So much so that every Tang army soldier was very tired. However, their fighting spirit was still very strong. Under the influence of warriors and members, every Tang army was determined to die.

The big spy Li Jing was also shut up. He did not have the chic temperament of a scholar at this time, and he was wearing armor and a beard.

"Liu Lushuai, although I don't know the news from the outside world, I'm sure the reinforcements of the king are coming soon." Li Jing said, while carving a wooden sign with a Tang sword.

Liu Weitai, with a hand-held Tang sword, looked at the dangerous Guanshan and said with a calm expression: "Even if there are no reinforcements and gunpowder, we will fight to the end. If we wait for an additional month, the Tang Dynasty will be three points stronger."

A regiment general came to report: "The body of the soldiers who died in battle has been cremated."

Liu Weitai nodded, "I understand. How much gunpowder is there?"

The group always shook his head, "It's almost empty, only enough to fire the muskets at once."

Li Jing blew the wooden sign, revealing the carved words "Li Jing" and said, "Then don't use it, just use it in the end. Don't use artillery either. Those traitors seem to be used to our army's firearms. There are arrows shot by the Yuan army on this pass, so it's not a waste."

Liu Weitai said: "The bows and crossbows of our army are not available now. The bow strings are broken and there is no supplement. Next, they mainly rely on long spears."

"It's easy to deal with." Li Jing smiled and pointed to the south with a wooden sign. "There are more than 10,000 Huguang Yuan Army there, and they have been cooperating with the Guanbei Yuan Army to tackle the problem. They have not come out of the customs and deal with them before."

Liu Weitai's eyes lit up, "Brother Li means that our army took the initiative to go out of seclusion, destroyed the Huguang Yuan army in the south, and seized their military weapons? Well, this is a good idea. Then do it."

Liu Weitai stood up and looked north and found that the Yuan army had retreated and should not come again to attack the key points today. So, he took advantage of this gap to destroy the Yuan army in Huguang in Guannan.

"Send an order! Gather three thousand soldiers and follow me out of Nanguan and take the initiative to attack!" Liu Weitai gave the order neatly and put on his helmet, "Brother Li, I'll leave it to you in the city of Guan."
