He is just over five years old this year. He is the same age as Guo Mo's twins Guo Yi and Guo Xiang, but he is several months older than them.
After being carried off the horse by Guo Mo, the little guy didn't have any panic, but just looked at the person in front of him curiously.
"Are you His Highness Prince Yan? My mother said, did you want me to come to Luoyang as a hostage?"
Yelu Qi raised his little face and looked at Guo Mo in front of him, as if he was trying to decide whether this person was the bad guy his mother said he was.
"Hahaha, I am His Highness Prince Yan, but from now on, you can call me master -"
Looking at the childlike Yeluqi, his eyes were rolling, revealing a different kind of cleverness. This naughty energy was comparable to that of Xiao Xiang'er.
Guo Mo finally understood why, in another time and space, the old naughty boy Zhou Botong accepted little Yeluqi as his disciple. This boy was definitely a naughty child in his childhood.
"Your Highness, Quan Zi is young and ignorant. After listening to Zhuo Jing's nonsense, he..."
When they met for the first time, they didn't expect that their second son would speak so rudely in front of everyone, which made Yelu Chucai very embarrassed.
Although Yelu Chucai couldn't understand Guo Mo's request to bring his second son to Luoyang at first, he definitely would not think that Guo Mo was asking for hostages.
The notice issued by Prince Yan's Mansion has already allowed him, Yelu Chucai, to become famous all over the world in a different way. Even if he wanted to be loyal to other forces, no one would dare to accept him.
Then again, apart from His Highness King Yan in front of him, Yelu Chucai really couldn't think of anyone else who was worthy of serving him?
"Haha, Jin Qing, after all, I don't want to argue with my apprentice. This is not the place to talk. Go to the palace as soon as possible."
Everyone mounted their horses and entered the city again, but Guo Mo did not return little Yeluqi to Yelu Chucai, but hugged him directly on his horse.
Same place, similar dishes, but times have changed. The Yelu Chucai at this time is no longer the Yelu Chucai a month ago.
At that time, he was still an envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, but now he is a minister under King Yan of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Rushu and old Cheng Ju are still accompanying him, and there is also Du Gao, the envoy of Henan Economic Strategy and Comfort.
"Come, I will offer you a drink first and welcome Jin Qing to join me. I hope that you will all work together to win the victory for the sake of the people of the world——"
The five people drank the "hero drunk" in the cup almost at the same time, and revealed the bottom of the cup one after another.
Since the advent of "Hero Drunk", no one in Prince Yan's palace drinks from a bowl anymore. That thing is really unbearable.
"Qing Jin, you already know Zhao Shangshu and Cheng Shangshu. They are Zuo Changshi and Zuo Sima of our Yan Palace. This is Du Gao. Henan Economic Strategy and Comfort Envoy and Henan Prefecture Magistrate."
"Xuzhou, where you are located, is also under the jurisdiction of Du Fudu. If you have any questions about government affairs in the future, you can contact Du Qing at any time."
"The administrative orders of the states under my command are different from those elsewhere. Du Qing will also send experienced people to Xuzhou to serve as magistrates and magistrates. I hope that Jin Qing will become familiar with the new government affairs as soon as possible."
In front of both of them, Guo Mo first introduced each other.
Du Gao had also "heard" Yelu Chucai's name for a long time. Especially at such a difficult time, His Highness King Yan actually offered 300,000 shi of grain to replace this person.
Du Gao did not show his superiority just because he was the other party's immediate boss.
"Haha, I have heard the name of Jin Qing for a long time. Today I finally met the real person. I hope Jin Qing will give you more suggestions and strategies in the future to build the Henan states into a truly prosperous place in the Song Dynasty."
Du Gao was over fifty years old, and he was very knowledgeable in both civil and military affairs. His behavior was naturally not sloppy. Over the years, he had been conscientiously doing his duties under the command of King Yan.
First, he was appointed as the magistrate of Ruzhou. When Wei Liaoweng was appointed as the governor of Chang'an, he was promoted to the post of Henan economic and strategic envoy. Now he has jurisdiction over five states and has become a frontier official.
"The name of Ambassador Du Fu has been known to students for a long time. Henan is close to the Kingdom of Jin. Before that, students had studied the political strategy of Henan. It was really a move that benefited all people."
"To be honest, when I was in Bianliang, students also followed Henan's approach and made suggestions to the Emperor of Jin Dynasty. Unfortunately, some decrees would touch the interests of the powerful people in the DPRK and China, so..."
Thinking of his isolation and helplessness in Longde Palace in Bianliang, Yelu Chucai felt a little chilly now.
I also wanted to strengthen the Kingdom of Jin, and I devoted myself to my duties. I even submitted letters time and time again with various suggestions, but unfortunately most of them came to nothing, or ended in failure.
"Haha, Jin Qing, when you are under the command of King Yan, you don't have to worry about not having the opportunity to show your talents. Your Highness never has to consider qualifications here, and you don't have to worry about lack of territory."
"It's just that there is a lack of practical people. Jin Qing is in the prime of life. He should follow His Highness and unify the world. It will be just around the corner!"
Zhao Rushu looked at Yelu Chucai. After meeting this person for the first time in Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhao Rushu was attracted by the courtesy and respect given by Prince Yan.
Afterwards, through various channels, the detailed information of Yelu Chucai was checked.
The more he knew about Yelu Chucai, the more Zhao Rushu felt that this person was unfathomable. He was an all-round talent!
If you look at the current Song Dynasty, you really can't find such a person.
Most of the high-level officials in the Song Dynasty, such as the ministers of various ministries, relied on years of experience and qualifications, or talents in one or two aspects.
Those who can truly span three departments are extremely rare.
The most important thing is that the political officials in the Song Dynasty who can take charge of their own affairs are already older, most of them are close to sixty.
Among the three major economic and strategic envoys under Guo Mo, Wei Liaoweng was fifty-eight years old, Du Gao was fifty-three years old, and only Liu Kezhuang was younger, and was about to be forty years old.
As for the "Four Meritorious Elders" in Prince Yan's Mansion, the oldest one is Wei Jing, who is sixty-seven years old this year. He was already an official, but he was forced to be re-employed by the officials.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Rushu and old Cheng Ju are the same age, both sixty-two years old, and Xue Ji is one year older than them.
Therefore, Zhao Rushu was particularly concerned about the appearance of Yelu Chucai. If this person could quickly integrate in and be loyal to His Highness.
Then, His Highness will not have to worry about having no one around for at least twenty or thirty years.
I had intended to remind King Yan, but I didn't expect that His Highness would find another way and directly accept the second son of Yelu Chucai as a closed disciple.
In this way, the relationship between the two becomes closer.
Zhao Rushu didn't know that Guo Mo's acceptance of Yelu Qi as his apprentice really had nothing to do with Yelu Chucai. It was purely Yelu Qi's "name" and the fact that he was attracted by his own talent when he saw the child.
Except for little Yang Guo and Xiang'er, this is the most talented child Guo Mo has ever seen, not inferior to his nephew Guo Ping.
The most important thing to learn martial arts is talent, but your basic skills are not good enough. It may not be impossible to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, but you have to work twice as hard as ordinary people to have a glimmer of hope.
Recruiting talented people and educating them was Guo Mo's first or only feeling when he saw Yelu Qi.
As for whether he could strengthen his relationship with Yelu Chucai by doing this, Guo Mo really didn't think about that.
As long as he is strong and can provide a sufficient stage for all kinds of talents to display, Guo Mo believes that it will be fatally attractive to real talents.
It is said that having a plane tree at home attracts phoenixes.
After the polite exchanges, the entire banquet topic centered around the drought in front of us.
Compared with the other four states, Xuzhou has no wells and artificial ponds built in advance, and it does not have any water reserves.
Xuzhou has been a "border state" for several years. Although the area is not very large, the people are indeed very sparse. In some places, not a single person can be seen for dozens of miles.
Such a scene is completely unimaginable compared to the Henan land of later generations.
Distributing food for disaster relief is a must, but Guo Mo does not want to simply distribute food to the hungry people.
Getting something for nothing is not only meaningless, but also makes those hungry people develop a lazy temperament.
Therefore, "relief for work" was naturally proposed.
In a month or two, autumn plowing will begin, and there is plenty of unclaimed land in Xuzhou.
Guo Mo's meaning is also very simple. All hungry people who come from the west gather together in an orderly manner according to their number and form new villages and market towns.
The government can provide them with food to keep them hungry, distribute grain seeds for free, and rent cattle and farm tools to them for free.
These hungry and well-fed people must reclaim wasteland, plant food on time, and collect taxes and rents from the government according to the established proportion.
After three years of this, the reclaimed fields will completely belong to the reclaimers, and only the normal agricultural taxes will be paid.
Excess labor can also be used to dig wells, dig ponds, build roads, etc. In short, you must exchange for food through your own work, rather than getting something for nothing.
Of course, if you want to join the army, you are more than welcome. Once admitted, you can enjoy the treatment of military dependents.
For this reason, Guo Mo directly gave the "Yue Family Army" another 50,000 troops, but did not set a time limit, in line with the principle of erring on the side of shortage rather than waste.
Guo Mo's move really did not focus on the hundreds of thousands of hungry people who might appear, but on the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom.
If he could let him screen those 100,000 troops and select 10,000 to 20,000 qualified sergeants, there would always be some, right?
As soon as Xiao Yeluqi entered Prince Yan's Mansion, Guo Mo sent him to the back house and asked Wu Nantian to tell Huang Rong that this was the disciple he had just accepted.
Wu Nantian was naturally happy because he had another junior brother, although he was indeed a little younger, two years younger than his fifth brother, Yang Guo.
The banquet in the "Jixian Hall" lasted for more than four hours. Even the food and drinks were changed three times, and the sky gradually became dark.
That night, Yelu Chucai and his son stayed at Prince Yan's Mansion.
It's just that Yelu Chucai was arranged in the guest room in the front yard, while little Yeluqi lived in the backyard.
On the second day, Guo Mo gathered everyone and held an apprenticeship ceremony in the "Hall of Heroes".
Amid everyone's congratulations and envy, Xiao Yeluqi kowtowed to Guo Mo and Huang Rong and officially became Guo Mo's closed disciple.
However, the child is only over five years old, and it is still too early to start learning martial arts.
In the end, little Yeluqi followed his father back to Xuzhou, agreeing to send him to Peach Blossom Island after his sixth birthday next year.
Yes, Guo Mo has no intention of directly enlightening these children himself. First, they are too young and entering the country too quickly may not be a good thing.
Secondly, for such a young child, it is best to put them in a small group and stay with adults all the time. It is easy for them to lose their child's nature.
Peach Blossom Island is very good, with a beautiful environment and a paradise, and there are six children of the same age there. Whether they are studying literature or martial arts or even playing, they can be together.
Yelu Chucai certainly agreed with Guo Mo's proposal and was even a little moved.
Since they were all his own, Guo Mo didn't hide it anymore and directly revealed his true identity to Yelu Chucai at the banquet.
Even Yelu Chucai, who felt he was very determined, was also shocked by Guo Mo's words.
However, seeing the three Zhao Rushu and others eating and drinking normally next to them, Yelu Chucai knew that Guo Mo had no need to deceive him.
In this way, all the previous suspicions and uncertainties, and even the strange political phenomena or "handles" in the eyes of others during the Song Dynasty in recent years, all make sense.
For this matter, Yelu Chucai drank three glasses of wine and swore an oath in front of Guo Mo that he would be driven by the king and would never leave him.
Drought didn't come in a day, and it certainly won't go away in a day.
Guo Mo has already given instructions on the preparations that should be made and the preparations that can be made. As for the outcome, we will know in a few months.
Perhaps because of this famine, the wars in various parts of the north have ceased, and everyone is licking their own wounds.
The news from the south finally came back.
More than two months have passed since Zhu Ziliu came to Luoyang to ask for help.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The main reason is that the distance is too far. It is nearly ten thousand miles back and forth. Normal people cannot bear this level of bumps.
Sure enough, as Guo Mo expected, ten days after Gao's "Dazhong" regime teamed up with the Tubo people to attack Huichuan Mansion, both sides suffered casualties.
With the assistance of Master Yideng in Huichuan Prefecture, the new king Duan Xiangxing even wore heavy armor and went into battle to kill the enemy in person. The soldiers and civilians of Huichuan Prefecture were greatly encouraged and repelled the attacks of the "Dazhong" coalition forces several times.
The Tubo people who originally entered Dali had a total of 10,000 cavalry, but they came from three different tribes. They also lost about 2,000 people in the ten-day siege battle.
Now the Tubo people gave up and asked Gao Jiong for more benefits.
If Huichuan City was not captured, what kind of benefits could the Gao family provide to the Tibetans?
After several stalemates between the two sides, the Tubo people simply took the remaining more than 7,000 people and returned to Dandang County.
This was the first payment that had been agreed upon. The Tubo people were worried that if they continued to fight, their army would suffer further losses, and the Dandang County they had acquired might also be lost.
After weighing the pros and cons, they withdrew their troops. As for Gao Jiong's life and death, they were not at all considering it.
In fact, the Tubo people are eager for Gao Jiong to fight with the Duan family and lose both sides. Then the Tubo people may have a better chance to invade more state capitals from Dali.
As soon as the Tubo people withdrew, the Miao people who had followed Gao Jiong in rebellion stopped sending troops and simply looted and returned to their territory.
These existences are similar to mercenaries. If they are not driven by sufficient and sustained profits, who will really work for you?
More than half a month passed, and the two sides were in a stalemate. However, Gao Jiong received news that his hometown was attacked.
It turned out that it was people from Luo's Ghost Country who took action.
Guo Mo's request was similar to their king's order.
What's more, the eight thousand most powerful soldiers of Luo's Ghost Kingdom are still being trained by the "Dunwu Army" one after another.
Even some of their horses, armor and weapons were provided free of charge by Guo Mo.
It was agreed at the beginning that these eight thousand soldiers would serve as Zhao Simo's bodyguard in the future.
Naturally, the things he gave his son would not be too bad, even though the son was already six years old and had not yet met his biological father.
Shanchan Mansion is the home of Gao Jiong and the entire Gao family. It has been operating there for hundreds of years, and there are more than a thousand people named Gao alone.
Gao Jiong naturally couldn't just sit back and do nothing when his lair was attacked, but Gao Jiong's own direct troops only numbered over 10,000 at full count.
In addition to the more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers recruited by "Dazhong" in the month after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number was barely enough to reach 20,000.
Such a force is certainly more than enough to defend a city in Dali, but it is undoubtedly a dream to attack a city defended by thousands of people.
In desperation, Gao Jiong also returned to Dali City and sent envoys to negotiate with the people of Luo's Ghost Country.
They thought that Luo's Ghost Kingdom just saw the civil strife in Dali and wanted to take advantage of it to rob it.
Unexpectedly, people from Luo's Ghost Kingdom, after occupying Shanchan Mansion, which had no military strength, killed all Gao Jiong's direct clan members.
Even those people with high surnames who had been separated for many generations did not let it go easily. They all had their family property confiscated and were driven out of Shanchan Mansion.
Letting those thousands of people fend for themselves is already showing mercy to Luo's ghost country's army.
In Guo Mo's letter, it was clearly explained that the Luo Ghost Kingdom sent troops with only one mission, which was to capture the Shanchan Mansion and then stand still.
And the wealth of the Gao family, which is so good at explaining, is naturally the military expenditure of the Luo family's ghost country.
This time, Elder Shi personally led the troops. He originally accompanied Zhao Simo to Lin'an to study. After being sent to Peach Blossom Island by the officials, Elder Shi also stayed there for a while.
I found that the little prince had good food and accommodation here, and the learning content and environment were impeccable.
Instead, he stayed on Peach Blossom Island, seemingly doing nothing.
Therefore, after staying there for two months, Elder Shi bid farewell to "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi.
Of course, Zhao Simo still has to stay in Peach Blossom Island to study art.
If Guo Mo doesn't have any special arrangements in the future, Zhao Simo will return to Luo's Ghost Kingdom to inherit the throne after he reaches adulthood at the age of eighteen.
Elder Shi led the 8,000 strong troops from Luo's Ghost Kingdom to occupy Shanchan Mansion, so naturally he would not allow the army to do things that disturb the people.
During the two years of training in the "Dunwu Army", these people not only learned the ability to kill enemies in battle, but their military discipline was also the same as that of the "Dunwu Army".
What's more, Elder Shi knew very well that with the temperament of their "uncle-in-law" His Highness Prince Yan, the Dali Kingdom should be included in the territory of the Song Dynasty sooner or later.
This Shanchan Mansion will be their "aunt's" territory in the future, so naturally they can't mess around here as they please.
When the people of the Gao clan who were dismissed in exile walked to Dali City to see Gao Jiong, Gao Jiong realized that the ancestral legacy of the Gao clan that had been passed down for hundreds of years was completely over.
Gao Jiong was determined to raise troops to recapture it, but looking at his more than ten thousand exhausted troops, and hearing that eight thousand strong troops from Luo's Ghost Kingdom had come, Gao Jiong had no confidence at all.
However, their grandfather, their parents, four brothers and sisters, and even three children all died at the hands of Luo's Ghost Kingdom.
How can you let him swallow this breath?
In the end, Gao Jiong, who completely lost his mind, opened the treasury of Dali City, took out all the food, weapons and money, and started recruiting troops in the territory he occupied.
At the same time, they sent people to the Qilan tribe where the Miao people were entrenched and the Dandang County where the Tubo people were. They first sent huge sums of money and asked them to send troops to explain.
He also promised them that if Shanchan Mansion was captured, the Gao family's hundreds of years of accumulation would be left to them.
In this case, it now seems to be "generous to others".
People die for wealth and birds die for food, not to mention the Tubo and Miao tribes who are short of materials?
You know, the Shanshan Gao family is a behemoth that has existed in Tiannan for hundreds of years. How much wealth can they accumulate?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just thinking about it can make people bite their tongues, not to mention that Gao Jiong has already sent valuable belongings.
However, these two parties had learned from Huichuan Mansion's mistakes and did not directly send their troops there. Instead, they sent spies to Shanchan Mansion to investigate.
After confirming that the other party only had 8,000 troops, the Tubo and Miao people united again. Each side sent 6,000 troops and horses, and asked Gao Jiong to send 8,000 troops and horses.
The three parties combined forces of 20,000 troops and horses, under the unified command of the Tibetan leader, and marched towards Shanchan Mansion in a mighty manner.
Sending a large army is not a day's work.
Gao Jiong met with the tribesmen who had escaped from Shanchan Mansion, and then sent people to Dandang County and the Qilan tribe to ask for help. The two groups then sent people to Shanchan Mansion to inquire, and then they negotiated and formed an alliance.
By the time the troops were actually dispatched, more than ten days had passed, but they didn't know that the "loyal and shun army" who had come all the way from Xiangyang had already arrived at Huichuan Mansion.
After meeting Master Yideng, Yu Jie first sent Guo Mo's personal letter.
It was nothing more than a regular greeting and an invitation to Master Yideng to travel or live in the Song Dynasty.
As for the rebellion and post-war matters in Dali, they will be handled according to Yideng's promise to bring Zhu Ziliu to Luoyang.
Although Guo Mo has enough respect for Yideng, unfortunately, now is not the time to talk about personal grudges, but about military and national affairs.
Zhu Ziliu first "loyal and shuns the army" and returned to Huichuan Mansion, and reported in detail to Yideng what he had seen and heard along the way, as well as the meeting with Guo Mo at Prince Yan's Mansion.
Although Yu Jie only brought 10,000 "loyal and shun troops", Yideng still directly handed over all Dali's troops to Yu Jie's hands.
Yu Jie is also a handsome man, but in this time and space, he became an official earlier. Even if he is now the commander-in-chief of an army, he is only twenty-seven years old.
Over the years, Guo Mo has deliberately cultivated him, trained him, and waited for his growth.
The expedition to Dali will be the first true battle since Yu Jie led the army alone. Even Yu Jie himself is a little excited and looking forward to it.
Judging from the content and objectives of the military order given to him by Guo Mo, this trip to Dali was no less than a "war to destroy the country."
From then on, there will no longer be a Dali Kingdom in this world, although the Dali Kingdom did not directly end in his hands.
Master Yideng handed over power directly, and the four "Yuqiao, Woodcutter, Farmer, and Reader" didn't say a word. Originally, they were people who followed Yideng into seclusion, so naturally they would not be attached to official positions and power.
However, the young and energetic new emperor of Dali, Duan Xiangxing, still had some knots in his heart, but he did not dare to speak out.
Yu Jie naturally took over the military power without hesitation and bowed deeply to Master Yideng.
Looking at the Dali Emperor Duan Xiangxing next to him, Yu Jie smiled slightly.
"Is Emperor Duan unwilling to do so? His Highness King Yan once said that the world has been divided for too long and it is time for the people to be unified."
"Master Yideng, His Highness Prince Yan has now reached the level of an 'innate master'. This is what he specially asked the general to bring here."
Yu Jie said, and carefully took out a book bound with cloth from his arms.
"This is His Highness's unique skill, the 'Rising Sun and Setting Sun Palm'. According to His Highness, this palm technique has been an upgraded version after his improvement. Once practiced, it can reach the state of 'half-step innateness'."
"His Highness said that this is a gift to Master Yideng. Master can also pass it on to the descendants of the Duan family as appropriate."
Yu Jie respectfully handed over the booklet "Rising Sun and Sunset Palm" with both hands, and glanced at Duan Xiangxing next to him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Hahaha, why is His Highness King Yan so polite? With the old monk's friendship with him, why would he be reluctant to part with the land of Dali?"
Yideng has also been an emperor for decades. Even if he is a martial arts idiot, he is also a person who is well versed in human relations.
This is so beautifully said. Wherever there is land in a country now, Guo Mo's people basically have to capture it themselves.
"When we first met, His Highness Prince Yan had not yet reached the peak of his power. But in a few years, he has already entered the realm of innateness. He is truly an unparalleled genius——"
Yideng took the booklet handed over by Yu Jie and carefully put it into the monk's robe.
Yu Jie was not a reckless person. He took over the military power of Dali and did not take away the power of leading troops from the "fishermen, woodcutter, farmers and readers", but let them still lead the old troops.
Instead of rashly launching an attack on Gao Jiong's rebels, they sent out all 200 scouts from the "Loyal and Shun Army" to find out the news.
It should be noted that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Jie first asked Wu Santong to lead two thousand troops to take over Jianchang Mansion behind Huichuan Mansion.
Yu Jie's "Loyal and Shun Army" came from that direction. Originally, there were two thousand troops stationed in Jianchang Mansion. Because it was closer to the Chengdu Mansion Road of the Song Dynasty, it had been in a semi-autonomous state for many years.
Yu Jie directly took the opportunity to capture Jianchang Mansion, took away more than a thousand prisoners, and dismantled the supply camp mixed into his "loyal and shun army".
Asking Wu Santong to lead two thousand men to take over Jianchang Mansion can be regarded as officially ending its history of being isolated from the outside world from now on.
After several days of inquiring, Yu Jie basically understood the movements of Gao Jiong's men, Miao and Tubo people, and even got in touch with Elder Shi who had occupied Shanchan Mansion.
At this time, Elder Shi was still suffering from a headache.
A total of 20,000 Tubo, Miao and Gao Jiong troops came to attack the Shanchan mansion he occupied.
Although he also has 8,000 powerful troops, it should not be a big problem to defend the city, but he is not willing to face the loss of these 8,000 powerful troops.
Even if Shanchan Mansion is finally defended, it is estimated that two to three thousand people will be lost. That is a result that Elder Shi does not want to see.
The arrival of Yu Jiejun's scouts completely freed Elder Shi from worries.
After communicating through letters, the two sides formulated a plan to annihilate the 20,000 rebels.
After all, with 10,000 "loyal and shun troops", 8,000 strong troops from the Luo clan's ghost kingdom, plus the troops of the Duan clan in Dali, a total of 25,000 to 25,000 people can be brought to the battlefield.
It was calculated mentally but not intentionally, and there were existences like the "Loyal and Shun Army" whose combat power was several levels higher than that of the opponent. If he could not completely annihilate them, Yu Jie would feel sorry for his efforts for so many years.
But the 20,000 rebel coalition troops walked proudly on the official road leading to Shanchan Mansion. They didn't think that with 20,000 troops, they couldn't take down Shanchan Mansion where 8,000 Luo ghosts were stationed.
Who is Luo's Ghost Country?
It is just a small border country, with no sense of existence compared to Dali. How can it be compared with the powerful Tubo?
Twenty thousand people marched to the gates of Shanchan Mansion in a mighty force. Without even preparing basic siege equipment or setting up camp, they directly launched an attack on Shanchan Mansion.
At this time, just after Shenshi, the Tibetan general who led the troops and was also the overall leader of the 20,000 people was commanding from behind, waving a scimitar.
Looking at the city wall, which was only over a foot high, the Tubo general was already imagining sleeping in the yamen of Shanchan Mansion tonight.
Gao Jiong only gave them Dandang County to the Tubo people. Now if Shanchan Mansion was captured, would he give it back to Gao Jiong?
Driven by interests and ever-expanding ambitions, the Tubo leader shouted the slogan "Enter Shanchan Mansion, and the sword will not be sealed for a day."
Massacre the city?
Where can there be a better way to stimulate people's hearts than this?
Whether they were Tubo people, Miao people, or Gao Jiong people, they all rushed up screaming, ignoring the rain of arrows pouring down from their heads.
With Guo Mo as a wealthy man, Luo's Ghost Kingdom has already changed its guns for guns. At least the 8,000 powerful troops in front of them can still do it with the standard equipment of hard bows and iron arrows.
"Elder Shi, their attack is too crazy. I'm afraid our arrows can only last until dark at most."
A school captain who was commanding the defense at the top of the city ran over and whispered to Elder Shi in the middle.
"Sustain it until dark? That's enough. Tell the brothers, don't save arrows. Let me shoot all the arrows as quickly as possible——"
The strategy set by Yu Jie is also very simple. It is nothing more than using Elder Shi's ability to defend the city to consume as much of the rebel alliance as possible.
Then, after dark, they launched a surprise attack from behind, and the elders from the city rushed out to attack them twice.
It's hard to say about other armies. The 8,000 people of the "Zhongshun Army" and Luo's Ghost Kingdom are all strictly trained for night fighting.
Although everyone will be affected objectively when fighting at night, those who have been trained and those who have not been trained are completely different levels.
Not to mention, there were many untrained people at this time, most of whom had night blindness and simply did not have the ability to fight at night.
Unexpectedly, the 20,000 rebel alliance was so arrogant that they had no siege equipment, no camp, and the soldiers didn't even have a full meal, so they went straight to work?
"Chief, can't this go on? Look, in less than an hour, our attackers have killed and wounded at least four to five thousand people."
A Tibetan lieutenant approached the horse head of their commander and whispered.
"Haha, Yeguli, didn't you see that? Most of the people who died were Miao and Gaojiong people. Even the Tubo people were from those two tribes."
"Our people are now the General's Chinese Guards. How can the Chinese Army move lightly? You have taken a good look at these boys. Once the city gate of Shanchan Mansion is opened, rush in for me at all costs and steal his daughter-in-law.
of--"
Such a ruthless heart, such a vicious plan, he is stepping on the corpses of his allies to gain his own wealth.
"My sons, you are the most heroic warriors in Tibet. You rushed into Shanchan Mansion and did not seal your sword for a day -"
Seeing that the morale of the siege troops had dropped somewhat, the Tibetan leader took the lead in shouting slogans from behind.
There were nearly two thousand soldiers beside him, shouting at the top of their lungs and banging the scimitars in their hands. The war horses also raised their heads and neighed, and kept digging the soil on the ground with their front hooves.
The men and horses attacking in front heard this and thought that the general leader had also launched an attack. They may not have heard of the principle of "too many monks but too little food", but they understood that what they grabbed was theirs.
"Elder Shi, this is so crazy, I can't stand it any more -"
"These barbarians are in a hurry to die. Come here and pour the 'golden juice'——"
Well, those two years of training in the "Dunwu Army" were not in vain. I also learned a lot of techniques for attacking and defending the city.
"ah--"
Pot after pot of boiling golden juice was poured onto the city. Large areas of the Allied troops were scalded and rolled all over the ground, and the offensive came to a halt.
"Hey, come back and take a rest first -"
Seeing the situation in front of him, even the cruel Tubo leader was helpless.
Night fell slowly, but death was already behind them——
