Chapter 1107: Destroying the Song League, in the Imperial City
Chapter 1107: Destroy the Song Alliance, in the Imperial City
In their eyes, Shen Tang's soldiers and horses were used to transport money and horses for them! As for not being their opponents...how could that be possible?
However, when thousands of cavalry came towards them together, the pressure that hit them made them feel suffocated!
The leading warrior gritted his teeth and said, "Kill me!"
More than a thousand tribal warriors with only leather armor at most collided with a thousand elite cavalry armed to the teeth. The result can be imagined. In almost one encounter, hundreds of them fell down!
Xin Qiji and others grabbed their horses and turned around, "Kill!"
Boom, boom, boom...
In just two rounds of charge, this unlucky tribe was massacred by Xin Qiji's men! If there was a chance to encounter the Song Dynasty's troops again, I'm afraid they would retreat immediately, but they obviously no longer have this ability. An opportunity.
"Sir, I have already made it clear that they are soldiers from the Song League not far away!"
"There has been a shortage of food and grass in their tribe recently, so the warriors in the tribe have gone hunting. Of course, if they encounter a passing caravan, they will also plunder! They don't know our identity, they just want our horses and belongings !”
"How far is the Songmeng tribe from here!"
Shen Tang asked calmly.
"This place is about fifteen miles southeast! There are about two to three thousand warriors stationed in their clan, and there are tens of thousands of clan members!"
Shen Tang thought for a moment, "Second brother, with you, 1,500 troops, we will raid the Songmeng tribe! Those who resisted will be killed without mercy, and the remaining warriors will be made prisoners and escorted to the Shanchan Mansion. The entire tribe will become a subordinate tribe of the Jiazong tribe. , after we arrive at Jiazong tribe, we will order someone to come and lead this ethnic group!"
"The general will obey your orders!"
Xin Qiji shouted loudly, "You have to protect the safety of my lord. Please take care of yourself. I will come as soon as I leave!"
After that, Xin Qiji led his troops away, and Shen Tang gave the order again, "Go forward thirty miles and set up camp, waiting for General Xin to return!"
In fact, Shen Tang didn't feel angry at the interception and killing of this small tribe! He also didn't have any likes or dislikes towards the Song League. The reason why he did this was to show his attitude to Dali Kingdom! This time he came, he would not be dismissed easily. If he failed to achieve his goal, he would not mind continuing to teach Dali a lesson!
This small tribe just bumped into Shen Tang's head. Even if there was no interception by this tribe, Shen Tang would find an opportunity to express his tough attitude.
Of course Shen Tang was not worried about Xin Qiji! It was just a small tribe with a few thousand warriors. Xin Qiji led 1,500 elites. It would be a joke if he couldn't take it down! It is no exaggeration to say that with Xin Qiji The combat power of this army and horses is comparable to that of ordinary Song Dynasty soldiers and horses. Even if they fight against a local army, they will win more than they lose!
Xin Qiji was born in the North, and it can be said that he made a living within the enemy's sphere of influence. Even so, he was able to thrive! His bravery and the riding skills of his soldiers were incomparable to the elite cavalry of the Jin Kingdom. Not inferior, let alone such a small tribe?
Shen Tang and his party walked forward for thirty miles, and then set up camp again!
Sure enough, before sunset, Xin Qiji returned with a large number of soldiers and horses, and also brought back more than two thousand prisoners!·
"Thank you for your hard work, second brother!"
Shen Tang said to Xin Qiji!
Xin Qiji laughed loudly, "It's just a small tribe, it can't stand a fight! We killed some of their tribe's warriors, and the rest have become prisoners. I left two hundred soldiers and horses to temporarily take care of the remaining tribesmen. We can make plans after we arrive at Jiazong!"
In the imperial city of Dali, the emperor and the prime minister were sitting across from each other! Duan Zhengxing had a look of helplessness on his face, while Gao Liangcheng had a face full of gloom! This time the troops were sent to the Song Dynasty, they gave up halfway, and even the current domestic situation is extremely Bad! Although many tribes in eastern Yunnan did not openly rebel, Gao Liangcheng had already received some news.
"This time, the envoy sent by the Song Dynasty is Shen Tang! Does the Prime Minister know the origin of Shen Tang?"
Duan Zhengxing did not care too much about the failure of sending troops to the Song Dynasty. In his opinion, safety and stability were more important.
Therefore, even though he lost now, he did not complain about Gao Quangcheng.
Gao Liangcheng came back to his senses, his face showing a bit of solemnity, "Your Majesty, I have received the news from Da Song Xizuo. This Shen Tang may be a difficult person to deal with!"
"He is only twenty-two years old, but his status in the Song Dynasty is extremely high. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty is very fond of him!"
"In the first year of Xinglong, Shen Tang took part in the scientific examination and passed three yuan in a row, and was selected as the number one scholar by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty! Later, he was sent as an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin due to the war between the two countries! In the end, the Kingdom of Jin not only temporarily reduced the annual coins of the Song Dynasty, but also He compensated Song Dynasty for part of his silver coins.
This person has a close relationship with Zhang Jun, the Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty, and he is also one of his biggest supporters in the court!"
"At the beginning of last year, Tubo sent troops to the Song Dynasty! At the beginning, the Song Dynasty was completely defeated, and many important places and state capitals fell.
Then, the same Shen Tang led his troops to Chengdu Prefecture! After several months of fighting, nearly 200,000 Tibetan soldiers and horses were defeated in his hands! Moreover, many tribes in the entire Chengdu Prefecture were also intimidated! "
"For his military exploits, Shen Tang was named Zhongwu Hou and promoted to the prefect of Chengdu and the pacifier! According to the news, the turmoil in Qiongbu Prefecture and Wumeng Mountain this time is probably because of this person. However, temporarily We don’t have firm information yet.”
"This man is extremely loyal to the royal family, leads troops, has excellent strategies, and is very tough on the outside world! Unexpectedly, the Song Dynasty actually sent him here this time!"
"What conditions does Xiangguo think this person will propose?"
Duan Zhengxing asked with a frown.
Gao Liangcheng shook his head slightly, "If it goes according to the past situation, it would be enough to compensate Da Song with some silver taels to give him face.
However, we have no way of knowing how big an appetite Shen Tang has.
Fortunately, this time the peace talks are within our territory of Dali, so we can also take some initiative!"
"At that time, I will personally take charge of this matter!"
"Since the Prime Minister has taken the trouble, I can rest assured!"
Duan Zhengxing nodded, "What is the current situation in the eastern Yunnan tribes and Jianchang Mansion area?"
"They ignored the troops we sent over at all. However, for the time being, they are only within the boundaries of Jianchang Prefecture and have not shown any other purpose! I have sent troops to strictly guard Huichuan Prefecture and the Yalong River area. Once they If you want to move west or south, we will hold on to key points to stop them!"
Huichuan Prefecture is south of Jianchang Prefecture, and the dividing line between Jianchang Prefecture and Shanju County in the west is the Yalong River! The situation in Jianchang Prefecture is simply unmanageable now, so Gao Liangcheng simply allows them to Jianchang Mansion was raging, but it was able to contain them within a certain range.
