Chapter 17 Kunlun Pass

Yun Zheng was right. Di Qing was indeed killing people. No matter how much Chen Bureau threatened, Di Qing begged for mercy and was killed by Di Qing in the end. This time, Di Qing killed a total of thirty-two people, all of whom were officers who had escaped from the battlefield. Then he marched into Shanglin...

Yu Jing, who originally planned to return to Pennsylvania with 20,000 pieces of silver under the escort of Peng Jiu, heard the news that Director Chen had been killed, and silently entrusted the money to Yang Tian, ​​the pacifier of Guangnan East-West Road. Lu appeased Sun Miao and planned to return to Wu Shengjun's camp with his entourage. He also warned Yang Tian and Sun Miao that if nothing could be done, they must quickly retreat to Wu Shengjun's camp to save their lives. The other two were killed by Di Qing's heavy hand. The shocked officials, whose hands and feet were cold, agreed repeatedly.

Di Qing heard that Yu Jing had arrived and came to greet him in person. He wanted to have a good discussion with him about the next step of the battle. He also wanted to discuss with Yu Jing how to bring Wu Shengjun into his own jurisdiction. Jing had made his way to various places and had 800 miles to rush to the capital. Only then did Di Qing believe that Wu Sheng's army had grown into a powerful army.

Di Qing came, and Yu Jing had to see him, but no matter where Yu Jing went, he was accompanied by Peng Jiu, who was fully armed. Di Qing entered Yu Jing's yamen and found that the soldiers of Wu Sheng's army were guarding their positions, with swords and guns coming out. It seemed that To defend himself, when he saw Yu Jing in the courtroom, he cried out sadly: "Di Qing is not an enemy, why are you so suspicious!"

Yu Jing replied with an ashen look on his face: "Director Chen is guilty and should be sent back to the capital in a prison cage to be punished by Your Majesty. Why did a third-grade official die in the mud like a pig or sheep?"

Yu Jing was defeated and knew he was guilty. He should have sacrificed his head. However, the dawn appeared in Guangnan. I was unwilling to die now. Please give Yu Jing some time. After Nong Zhigao was eradicated, I would tie my arms and go to Beijing to plead guilty. .”

Di Qing's face changed horribly when he heard Yu Jing's heart-breaking words. He knew that he had offended the civil servants in Guangnan to death by killing Chen Shu, and there was no room for change. He looked up at the gray sky angrily. Said: "Chen Shu is guilty and should be cut into pieces by a thousand swords. Now tens of thousands of troops are gathered in the forest. If we don't kill deserters like Chen Shu, how can we control tens of thousands of soldiers? How can we comfort the soldiers who died in the battle? These scum have been killed." Just kill him, Di Qing will never regret it!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, never asking where Wu Shengjun was going...

Yu Jing sat alone in the lobby and muttered to himself: 'Could I be wrong?"

Peng Jiu said loudly: "The old commander is right, Peng Jiu doesn't know, but my general has led eight thousand elite Wusheng troops and is rushing to Kunlun Pass. If he succeeds, Nong Zhigao will be unable to fly, and Guangnan will also be After calming down, the old commander is also thinking about the people of Guangnan, God knows what is right and what is wrong."

Yu Jing seemed to feel a little comforted, and looked back at Peng Jiu, a rough man, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am worthy of my heart and worthy of the king. Let God judge whether I am right or wrong.

If we don't go back to Wu Shengjun's camp, we will gather the victims here and care for them on the spot. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye, and everyone should have a bite of hot food. General Peng, how about you stay and help me?"

Peng Jiu knocked on his breastplate and said: "The general ordered me to guard Ming Gong. Since I hold such a humble position, I will naturally follow the lead of my old master!"

With Peng Jiu's 800 soldiers, Yu Jing no longer had worries in his heart. He joined forces with Guangnan East and West Road pacifier Yang Wei and Jiangnan West Road pacifier Sun Mi to establish the Guangnan pacifier Yamen in Shanglin to recruit discrete officials and gather them together. The deserter sent people to call the refugees in the mountains, and turned all the 20,000 silver coins in his hands into food, cloth, cattle and seeds. He completed this series of transfers in just ten days. Such high efficiency was entirely due to the fact that many wealthy merchants came from Shu, and they brought a large amount of supplies to Liuzhou, which was only two hundred miles away from Pennsylvania.

Since Di Qing rectified military discipline, strictly enforced military discipline, counted the crimes committed by Chen Department in defeating the army, and executed him and his subordinate generals, all the generals looked at each other and the whole army was solemn, and ordered and prohibited them.

Di Qing immediately ordered the generals to march in succession. The old soldiers in the division were tired, so they called for a cessation of troops. He ordered all the armies to prepare 10 days of rations, and took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to light up the lanterns. A banquet was held at the military academy of generals and assistants. The military camp of the Song Dynasty immediately burst into thunderous cheers. The haze seemed to disappear with this feast.

On the 16th, it was stormy and dark, and the bright moon in the sky could no longer be seen. However, the banquet in the Song Army camp continued. Yu Jing and Sun Mian, who were invited, also felt that victory was just around the corner. Although they were a little worried, Guang Guang It had been two years since Nan had celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he planned to have a good Mid-Autumn Festival with the soldiers. Yu Jing also distributed rice and food to the victims gathered together, and there was a pig and a sheep for 100 people...

After Di Qing had a banquet with everyone for a while, he said that he was not feeling well and asked Yu Jing to continue hosting the ceremony to celebrate that he had returned to the back hall to rest.

The drunken Di Qing had just walked into his back room, and no trace of alcoholism was left on his face.

The confidant generals such as Zhang Yu from the Right Ban Palace, Jia Kui, the deputy envoy from Beijing, and Sun Jie, the deputy envoy from Zuozangku in Xijing, as well as Yang Wenguang, Ma Jinhu, Guo Shiyuan and other powerful generals were all waiting for Di Qing's arrival in the back tent.

Di Qing sat behind the desk and said in a deep voice: "The storm is coming, and Nong Zhigao's vigilance has relaxed. Huang Shimi has been captured alive by Yunzheng, and the crisis in Yizhou has been resolved. Now, it's time for us to solve Nong Zhigao's case with our own hands." It’s time to be smart.”

The generals immediately bowed and said: "I am willing to listen to the commander-in-chief's orders!"

Seeing that his army was ready, Di Qing was overjoyed and said: "Since Nong Zhigao thinks highly of himself, we will catch him off guard. He is now staying in Binyang, with the Kunlun Pass behind him. As long as we break through the Kunlun Pass, we can defeat Nong Zhigao." Stick a nail behind him so that he cannot retreat and can only fight us decisively on the front lines of Jinchengyi and Quy Nhon Pu. In this way, great things will be accomplished."

Yang Wenguang immediately came out and said loudly: "The first battle to attack Kunlun Pass is none other than Hsinchu. I will ask the commander-in-chief to give Hsinchu another chance to wash away the shame of our defeat in Guizhou."

Di Qing came over and patted Yang Wenguang on the shoulder and said: "The defeat of Guizhou is not your fault. Chen Bureau arranged Ma Jinhu and other elite cavalry in the mountains and they should be beheaded! Let you lead the infantry to challenge Nong Zhigao's own soldiers. One thousand versus four thousand, how can you be invincible?

Since I am in charge now, naturally such a mistake will not happen. I will give you three thousand cavalry and ask you to rush forward quickly and arrive at Kunlun Pass in the evening. You must first deceive the city. If you cannot enter, I want you to immediately lead your troops to attack the city pass. Catch him by surprise! I personally led a large group of troops to Jinchengyi and Quy Nhon Pu to wait for the arrival of Nong Zhigao's army."

Yang Wenguang was so happy that he immediately promised to attack the Kunlun Pass, and then led Ma Jinhu and other generals, as well as three thousand cavalry, into the wind and rain...

Yunzheng was now cursing in the heavy rain. An unexpected heavy rain completely cut off his mountain road to Kunlun Pass. Looking at the swollen stream in the mountain stream, he wished he could fly from here with wings.

If he cannot reach Kunlun Pass, he will have no way to stop Nong Zhigao at Jinchengyi, and those coveted baggage will be completely out of reach for him. This is how Yun Zheng, who wants to make a fortune in Guangnan, can bear it.

"Report!" The monkey, covered in mud and water, ran over from the upper reaches of the stream and said, "General, there is no detour upstream. The further you go up, the narrower the canyon becomes, and neither humans nor horses can pass."

Zhou Tong also came from the lower reaches and reported: "There is no suitable place to build a bridge here. The main reason is that the water flow is very fast. It is simply not feasible for us to set up stakes in the stream. People can't get down to the stream and leave. Just six

The soldier was almost washed away by the flood and would have died if he had not been tied with a rope."

Yun Zheng looked at Comrade Zhou and said, "The big troops can't get through, so can the small troops not be able to get over? Can't the zipline be used?"

Xiao Lin wiped the rainwater from his face and said: "Our current terrain is very bad. The opposite side is high, but it is difficult to slip over here. We have to have someone pull us from the opposite side."

"Since you can go through, let's go. There don't need to be too many people. Two hundred people are enough to break through the hot spring pass. Go now!" Yun Zheng shouted at Xiaolin. Xiaolin shook his head and took the most elite scouts to choose the right one.

Flyover location.

The rain was pouring heavily, and the wind carried it and slapped him on the face like a whip. The crossbow of the Eight Ox Crossbow was heavily pierced into a big tree as thick as an arm. Yun Zheng watched Xiao Lin walking along the road in the wind and rain.

A thin rope climbed over it, and my heart tightened.

This heavy rain is actually the product of a typhoon. Although Mashan is still some distance from the seaside, the wind is still strong. My army has crossed Mashan and is now on the windward slope. I see that they are blown away by the strong wind.

The swaying tree decisively stopped Xiaolin's adventure. Under such circumstances, Xiaolin might be the only one who could climb to the other side along the rope, which was meaningless.

"General, Kunlun Pass is where we can't escape. Even if we fail to attack by surprise, with the power of my Wu Shengjun's gunpowder, we can succeed in attacking that city gate even by force. Why are you so impatient?"

When he returned to the tent that he had finally set up, seeing no one on either side, Su Xun asked in a low voice.

Yun Zheng sat beside the fire and said sadly: "We need military exploits, and it is best to earn military exploits from people like Nong Zhigao. This can be regarded as obtaining the most generous profits at the minimum cost. It's a pity, I

We have planned everything, except for the heavy rain. Seeing that Kunlun Pass is right in front of us, we are unable to move forward. Could it be that God has destined that the battle of Kunlun Pass should be a good opportunity for Di Qing to become famous in this world? "

Su Xun smiled and said: "How did you know that Di Qing dared to take such a risk to bypass Nong Zhigao's army and take a small road to attack Kunlun Pass?"

Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "You are talking nonsense like a sensible person. Nong Zhigao has never thought about establishing his bullshit Tiannan Dali Kingdom in the Song Dynasty. He knew that the Song Dynasty would definitely counterattack crazily. He

He did not have the capital or ability to gain a foothold in the territory of the Song Dynasty, so he only wanted to rob wealth and craftsmen. If you look at Huang Shimi's robbery of women and children, you will know what this guy wants to do.

They just want to return to Guangyuan Prefecture to recuperate, use the wealth gained from this robbery to strengthen their tribe, and wait for the next comeback.

I have seen this, and there is no reason why Di Qing cannot see it. Therefore, the only tactic we can choose is to close the door and beat the dogs. Kunlun Pass is the last chance. Since we cannot reach Kunlun Pass in the last time, Di Qing will definitely send people there.

Kunlun Pass." (To be continued)
