The horse team walked out from the woods for ten days without stopping. Yu Jing sat in the shed at the exit for ten days. Yu Jing, who once served as the deputy envoy of the third envoy of the Song Dynasty, did not see him all at once.
So much wealth.
If the boxes containing gems and jades made him dizzy, when he saw the pearls packed in sacks, he felt that he was in an illusory world.
After the cavalry left, the powerful army appeared immediately. Yu Jing did not think that the most precious things here were the treasures. Having experienced being helpless, he persistently believed that the soldiers who came out of the forest were the most valuable.
Song's most precious asset, as for his 16,000 subordinates who were recovered by Lang Tan and others, he disarmed these people and sold them as coolies to the merchants. Anyway, this was the practice of the Xiang army.
Already.
There is a small bush of beard under Yun Zheng's chin, but Yu Jing still thinks that Yun Zheng is more attractive with a smooth face. People in the Song Dynasty are not very particular about growing beards. As long as they become fathers, they will grow some beards.
Seeing Yun Zheng sitting on the back of the elephant calmly and powerfully, Yu Jing bowed and congratulated Yun Zheng. This had nothing to do with status, but only with merit.
In fact, the calm and powerful look was also Yu Jing's own illusion. Yun Zheng, who was extremely tired, got off the elephant's back. His legs were weak, his armor was loose, and his cloak was wrinkled like a ball of pickled cabbage. But at this time
Even if Yun Zheng was naked, Yu Jing would still see something good from it.
"Ming Gong, it's Yun Zheng's fault that I've made you suffer and be surprised."
Yun Zheng knew about the dispersal of the Guangnan army. He also knew that in Guangnan, only Yu Jing and an old servant were standing at the pass with knives, preparing to intercept the enemy. It took him a long time after hearing the news.
Silently, this scene is so similar to the historical record of the Jin army entering Tokyo. No one in Guangnan dared to stand up and fight.
Oh, that's right, those who dared to fight have already died in the battle with Nong Zhigao, and the rest are naturally weaklings. He glanced coldly at the Guangnan Xiang troops who were carrying heavy loads, and then helped them
Following Yu Jing, he walked into the thatched shed.
Without waiting for Yu Jing to ask questions, he reported everything he did in Jiaozhi to Yu Jing. Yun Zheng said it easily, and Yu Jing was frightened. When Yun Zheng finished speaking, Yu Jing let out a long sigh.
Said: "The danger is extremely high. If Li Dezheng escapes, he will lead a crazy counterattack with King Qin's army around him, and Wu Sheng's army will fall into the vast sea of Jiaozhi people. If Li Rizun reaches the valley first, Wu Sheng's army will have the entire army."
Worry of annihilation!
This kind of risk cannot be avoided."
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "This is inevitable. Disasters have occurred frequently in the Song Dynasty in recent years, and the victims are crying for food. I can't bear to think too much. Only those who are weak will do such dangerous things. If Yun Zheng has a hundred thousand people who dare to fight,
, I will march through Liangshan in an upright manner, and take Li Rizun’s head like a bag."
Yu Jing asked again: "What is Li Rizun doing now? Will he invade Guangnan on a large scale?"
Yun Zheng chuckled and said: "With ten courages, he would not dare to invade rashly. What he should consider now is whether his throne is stable. I heard that the King of Jiaozhi Dacheng and the King of Shaocheng have joined forces to rebel. He needs to go all out to
Put out this civil strife, and when he puts out the civil strife, the Jiaozhi country should be in a state of devastation. It has the ability to attack the Song Dynasty. If the Jiaozhi people invade again, they will be destroying themselves."
Yu Jing clapped his thighs happily and laughed. This is indeed the best way. After the bandits in Guangnan were vigorously raided by Yun Zheng and Di Qing, the ground finally calmed down. This year's spring planting is proceeding in an orderly manner. The fields
You can also see some farmers on the street. In January, the summer harvest will begin. Most people here are planting double-cropping rice. After this crop of rice is harvested, Guangnan will be completely calm. It can be done
If we want to be self-sufficient and help the mainland, I'm afraid it will take another two years.
The Guangnan Army struggled to move the mountains of supplies under the whip, and it was their task to open up mountains and roads. Since the return of Wu Shengjun, all their original benefits have been cancelled, and their original benefits have been restored to those of the Xiang Army. Some
The officer was unconvinced and went to Yu Jing to argue, but Yun Zheng ordered him to be beheaded. The head was hung on the camp gate. The Guangnan Army never made a sound again. They themselves knew that their future fate would be very worrying.
It was already fifteen days after he returned from Qiyuan Prefecture to Wuchao Camp in Guangyuan Prefecture. When he returned to Wuchao, Yun Zheng ordered the dismantling of the iron cable bridge over the canyon. Originally, the bridge was left intact and was very important to the Song Dynasty.
It is advantageous to be able to advance and retreat with more than enough strength, rather than purely defending. However, considering the combat strength of the Guangnan Army, Yun Zheng still ordered the demolition. This would make Li Rizun completely reassured. Secondly, Yun Zheng would not be able to do so at all.
He believed that after he left, the Guangnan Army would dare to send troops to Guangyuan Prefecture opposite.
After he came back safely, Yun Zheng began to turn his attention to the Dali Kingdom. Di Qing made rapid progress during this period and broke through countless passes. The army had captured Huichang Prefecture and troops entered Jianchang Prefecture. Gao Zhisheng organized three troops at Longmo Pass in Jianchang.
The strength of more than 10,000 people made a final resistance. Longmo Pass was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Di Qing's army had been blocked here for more than half a month. However, in Ningzhou and Dongchuan County of Shicheng County, the Dali people resurrected and sixteen tribes were reorganized.
The army once again marched towards Di Qing's back. Di Qing's situation was very bad. Fortunately, the Song Dynasty urgently sent Yongxing troops out of Chengdu Prefecture and marched toward Jianchang Prefecture along the Wuchi Road. Although Cao Rong did not
What a courage, but under the orders of the emperor and the Privy Council, they still cautiously brought the army to Jianchang Mansion, stationed it at the foot of Mount Emei, and prepared to attack Jianchang Mansion at any time.
Since everyone was acting, Yun Zheng did not hesitate to use his military strength. He ordered Zhou Tong and Lang Tan to lead an army of 5,000 to Suining Prefecture, and also made a state of attack at any time. When the sixteen tribes learned about Yun Zheng's troops,
Finally, they desperately retreated their tribal troops. At this time, they ignored Gao Zhisheng's strict order. As the leader of the tribe, everything is possible only with the tribe. If the tribe is destroyed by Yunzheng, they will only have to flee.
The road is going well.
At the foot of Longmo Pass, Di Qing looked at the pass halfway up the mountain and gritted his teeth. The news of Yun Zheng's return from the victory greatly boosted the morale of the Western Army. However, this city pass built on the mountainside was indeed a barrier.
As a roadblock, Gao Zhisheng could inflict heavy casualties on the Western Army as long as he kept rolling rocks down the mountain.
Di Qing sighed, if the Song Dynasty had another army like the Xi Army or Wu Sheng Army, it would not need too many, as long as there were three to five thousand people, they could launch an attack from the back of Jianchang Mansion, easily defeating the front and not the rear.
After the Longmo Pass was defeated, his elite Western Army no longer had to brave the rolling boulders to attack the city. It was a pity that Cao Rongwo did not dare to move at the foot of Mount Emei. It was already a huge improvement to be able to bring the army out.
Already.
Di Qing racked his brains these days to think of ways to break the city. No matter how he lured the enemy, Gao Zhisheng remained unmoved and huddled motionless in Longmo Pass.
The person who really helped Di Qing was Duan Silian. After learning that Gao Zhisheng's strength was greatly damaged and that he was forced to move by Di Qing, Duan Silian decisively raised his butcher knife and killed Gao Zhisheng's family members. He heard that Gao Zhisheng's family was located in Nongdong.
The palace's Yao Fort became a river of blood in one day. Duan Silian took the emperor's cruel nature to the extreme. Not only did he kill Gao Zhisheng's two brothers, but he also stripped Gao Zhisheng's mother, wives and concubines of their clothes and allowed them to be humiliated by his subordinates. As for the
Gao Zhisheng's three young sons were skinned alive and covered with drums, and given to Gao Zhisheng, who was confronting Di Qing.
Di Qing felt chilled after learning the news. What kind of hatred could make an emperor commit such cruel and beastly acts. That night, a man in white came down to Longmo Pass and told Di Qing that Longmo Pass could be offered up and the Song army must
Get out of the way of the main road leading to Nongtongfu, or fight to the death.
The visitor was the eldest son of Gao Zhisheng. He had no other requirements. He only hoped that Di Qing would get out of the way so that he could go to Nongdong Mansion and fight Duan Silian. As for Jianchang Mansion, since it would fall into the hands of the Song Army sooner or later, it was better to give it up and let him.
Gao Zhisheng, who was blinded by hatred, always thought that the Song Dynasty would be very happy to see him and Duan Silian fighting. What he didn't know was that an angel came from Di Qing's army, and it was this angel who reached a contract with Duan Silian.
Dali State ceded Jianchang, Dongchuan, and Huichang to the Song Dynasty. What the Song Dynasty needed to do was to completely and completely kill Gao Zhisheng. After seeing this contract, Di Qing, although extremely reluctant, still took advantage of Gao Zhisheng's departure.
When Long Moguan soldiers entered Nongdong Mansion and were in the plains, the Song Dynasty cavalry was in front and the infantry was behind them. They rushed out in full force and annihilated Gao Zhisheng's troops after a day and night of fierce fighting in Taoshuiping.
The Angel of the Song Dynasty smiled and took the heads of Gao Zhisheng and his three sons to Duan Silian to demand the fulfillment of the contract... At the same time, the courageous Cao Rong led more than 10,000 Yongxing troops to attack like locusts.
In Jianchang Mansion, it is said that more than 30,000 people who refused to submit were killed in formation...
At this point, the south was pacified! It finally ended with the Song Dynasty’s overall victory!
Yun Zheng sighed when he saw the private message sent by Di Qing. Gao Zhisheng was completely betrayed by his king at the most critical moment. The issues that the king considered were different from those of ordinary people. As long as he could keep his throne and ensure that he
They have an absolute say in the decision-making of national rights. They do not hesitate to kill people and cut off territory. The casualties of the people and the integrity of the national territory are not considered. This is the impression Duan Silian left on Yun Zheng.
During dinner, Yun Zheng, holding a jar of wine, went to find the imprisoned Li Dezheng and asked him for advice on what the emperor's mind is and what the way of a minister is. After all, he was shallow in studying books. He wanted to learn from the real people.
Let’s discuss this with the emperors. (To be continued)
