The northern geese are flying south, and the geese are constantly changing their formations, wanting to go to the far south.
Li Chang and an old servant stood there under the blazing but crisp blue sky with their hands behind their backs, facing the Xixia armored cavalry without moving. His red robe made him look more majestic. He had been an official for many years.
, he knows what kind of stance and movements can show his majesty to the extreme.
"Come to the Song Dynasty, I have abandoned you!" Li Chang looked at the wild geese in the blue sky and whispered to the leaders of the six tribes of Yuanzhai who were slowly approaching him, as if he was inviting an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time to come in.
It’s just like having a drink together at home.
The old leader of the Barbarian Head clan, Ni Zhehu, jumped off his horse and walked to Li Chang's side and said, "Why are you here? There are over 300,000 people in total!"
"Yunshuai still has some grain in his hand. As long as he saves some, it will not be difficult to survive this winter. Next year, if you raise horses, we will harvest them; if you raise cattle, we will harvest them; if you raise sheep, we will harvest them.
We will harvest the felt you roll, we will harvest the herbs you gather. As long as you have any harvest, we will harvest it. Whether you want tea, grain, linen or cotton, as long as you ask for it, we will harvest it.
will be satisfied.
Your clansmen are still your clansmen, and the clan leader is still the clan leader, nothing will change!"
"What does the Song Dynasty want us to do?" Ni Zhehu's old face twitched and asked. Everyone knew that the Song Dynasty had given such good conditions and it was impossible not to ask for something in return.
Li Chang looked at the heads of the six tribes in Yuanzhai one by one and said: "Put down your bows and arrows, take off your armor, Qingtang Land and Helan Mountain do not need you to have force. If you insist,
Retain your own warriors. The only way for warriors to join the Song Dynasty army is to join the army of the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, anyone with a two-foot sword will be killed without mercy!"
Ni Zhehu was not surprised by this request. Ever since he learned that Wu Zhen's huge army had left Lanshan and burned down the pontoon bridge, he understood that the six tribes of Yuanzhai had reached a time of life and death.
"Is this Yun Zheng's opinion?" Ni Zhehu took out a knife and inserted it into the soil in front of him and asked Li Chang in a low voice.
"No, Yun Zheng's idea is to kill you all on the edge of the Yellow River and free up a large area of grassland for the border people of the Song Dynasty to settle in. In a few years, there will be a large number of Song people who are good at herding and raising horses on the grassland.
In this way, this land can truly be regarded as belonging to the Song Dynasty." Li Chang tried his best to slow down his speaking speed and expressed Yun Zheng's meaning almost word for word.
Ni Zhehu made a sound, kicked the wet loess on the ground and said faintly: "This is the law of the grassland. I didn't expect that Yun Zheng, a Song Dynasty man, is more familiar with the laws of the grassland than us. I can see that you are a civil servant. I heard that
The civil servants of the Song Dynasty have always regarded themselves as gentlemen, so you can't say such things as raping women and beheading children who are taller than a wheel, right?
People from the Song Dynasty, tell me who you are, and why can you make such a decision on behalf of the supreme commander of the Song Army, and not even consider his extremely correct opinion?"
Li Chang took out the seal from his arms, and the old servant quickly spread a piece of linen cloth on the ground. Li Chang put a beautiful Shoushan stone seal on the linen cloth and said: "This is the seal made by the attendant of Tianzhang Pavilion, which shows that I am very noble.
!”
Li Chang took out another seal made of jade and placed it on the linen cloth and continued: "This is the seal of the imperial censor Zhongcheng, which proves that I am a high-ranking official of the Song Dynasty and not a minor official pretending to be one."
Li Chang finally took out a piece of appointment decree from the imperial court, put it on the linen and whispered: "This is the document that my Majesty the Song Dynasty personally appointed me to control the soldiers and horses of the 14th Route West of Beijing. This document shows that I am a member of the Song Dynasty army."
He is the number two and is not under the control of the coach."
Ni Zhehu took the seal and looked at it very carefully and seriously. Finally, he put down the seal and the will, raised his head and said in tears: "We can't understand!"
As soon as these words came out, not only the other five tribe chiefs burst into tears, but Li Chang's eye circles could not help but turn red. He tried his best to turn around to calm down his emotions, then turned to Ni Zhehu and said: "It seems that you, the Sixth Tribe of the Far Village
It is true that I am not in the official ranks of the Xixia people. There is not much difference between the official positions in Xixia and the official positions in the Song Dynasty. Now you clan leaders can't understand my seal. This can only mean that you have been away from the world for too long.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Take your time and take your time. If I stay in your army, I won’t go anywhere. I will stay with you. Now you should give all the food in the army to your trustworthy subordinates and let him take the food back to migrate.
Your own tribe must go back before there is no hiding place, otherwise what awaits your family will be the slaughter knife of the Xixia people."
When Ni Zhehu heard what Li Chang said, he grabbed his arm and said, "Are you willing to let some of us go back?"
Li Chang smiled and said: "Of course, how can some people protect women and children coming to Qingtang if they don't go back?"
Ni Zhehu wiped the tears on his face and turned around and roared: "Ning Huhu, take the Wu soldiers back immediately and tell Dazhema that we can't live in Jishi Mountain. Let him take the whole family to Qingtang to spend the winter."
.”
Li Chang watched a bald man run out of the military formation and knelt in front of Ni Zhehu and spoke a long list of Xixia dialects. Although Li Chang could not understand, he now had strong confidence in Yun Zheng. Since it would be wise to let some Xixia people go back
There is no need to doubt the result of careful consideration by Yun Zheng and the generals. The young man shocked him time and time again. Li Chang firmly believed that there was no harm in doing so.
Ni Zhehu kicked the bald man over and saluted Li Chang: "Three thousand, we only need to send three thousand soldiers back."
Li Chang smiled and said: "Since I believe in you, I will simply believe it to the end. There is no way three thousand people can cope with the hardships along the way. I thought that eight thousand soldiers would be a safe number when we return."
Ni Zhehu looked at Li Chang and said nothing for a long time, then suddenly knelt down in front of Li Chang and said: "Whenever the general is in trouble, Ni Zhehu will definitely work for the general to the death, even to the death!"
Li Chang laughed and said: "That's wrong. You will only have one loyalist in the future, and that is our Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Send people back quickly. We still have a lot of things to do. Your people are coming over. We
A large piece of suitable pasture must be enclosed for them to live on. A shepherd without a pasture is nothing but a shepherd."
Ni Zhehu never dreamed that the people of the Song Dynasty would treat him so favorably. He almost thought that he was dreaming. Although the pasture at the foot of Helan Mountain was good, it was not a place to stay for a long time. If he could regain pasture land in Qingtang, it would be great for his people.
A great blessing from God.
The Song Dynasty gave them far more than they asked for.
Ni Zhehu stood up from the ground and personally sent his son Ning Huhu to take away all the military rations with the selected tribe. Under the guidance of a group of Song troops carrying red flags, they ran along the Yellow River and left the battlefield.
, did not encounter any obstacles. As soon as they left the Blue Mountains, they were faced with the endless Gobi Desert. There was no obstacle that could retain these eight thousand elite cavalry.
Ni Zhehu and the other clan leaders naturally stood behind Li Chang and regarded themselves as subordinates. Seeing this scene, Li Chang's mouth turned up slightly, and he had to sigh once again at Yun Zheng's wisdom.
Damn it, I have studied this knowledge of gift-giving all my life but I have never understood it. Yun Zheng, a man in his twenties, has studied the mentality of these people thoroughly. In the future, as long as there is a place to give gifts, I will definitely give them like this.
A big gift. Only when you give a gift that exceeds the highest expectations of the recipient at once can things be done well. Damn, this is much better than giving gifts like watering down again and again. This gift-giving is also a big skill.
Wisdom and knowledge!
When more than 30,000 Xixia cavalry learned that they now needed to grab pasture for their tribesmen and themselves, this kind of thing that was beneficial to their own family immediately aroused their endless fighting spirit. Even the injured cavalry gritted their teeth and stepped on it again.
After chewing a few mouthfuls of the food sent by the Song Dynasty, the war horses couldn't wait to follow the military princes brought by Li Chang and ferociously rushed towards the Lanshan battlefield to snatch pasture for themselves. Herdsmen generally did not
No matter what the casualties are.
Yun Zheng was standing on a high slope, overlooking the battlefield below him. The flag representing Dong Xiang's identity had been thrown at his feet, and a tattered corpse was lying at his feet, covered by flies.
Dong Felt was killed by blind medicine. If a guilty person wants to stop suffering from guilt, the only way is to kill the person who made him feel guilty. Once he says the famous "I'm sorry"
, it means that he is prepared to continue to feel sorry for you. Dong Zang's more than 3,000 personal guards were completely annihilated due to the mentality of his opponent.
Blind Yao shouted "I'm sorry" and then chopped Dong Xiang's body with a knife. If Long Tieqiao hadn't stopped him tightly, Dong Xiang's corpse would have been chopped into pieces!
After killing Dong Xiang, who was only protected by his personal guards, Blind Yao led his team originally used to defend Yunzheng to join the team that surrounded and suppressed Qing Yi Jie Gui Zhang. This guy, who was always timid in combat, actually fought in
Rushing into the battle in person, Jiang Zhe frowned and asked Yun Zheng: "Junhou, I can't keep this guy. If brothers become comrades with this guy in the future, they will always feel that the coldness on the back of their necks is not a problem."
Yun Zheng blinked his eyes, looked at Dong Xiang and said to Jiang Zhe: "I don't like this kind of bastard either. You are worried about getting an arrow in the back. I am also worried about becoming Dong Xiang's second best. Now this guy is doing a good job in combat."
, use it first, you see, the crazy Jie Biao has been repelled by him, and Wu Jie is ordered to continue to press the front line forward, compressing the Qingtang people's activity area, it is best to suppress it to the edge of the Yellow River. This will save energy
Already."
Jiang Zhe nodded and said: "That means once we suppress more than 50,000 people to the river, I can let the trebuchet launch an indiscriminate attack?"
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Remember not to blow up Qing Yijie Guizhang. I promised to let him go once. We can't be careless about this!"
Jiang Zhe said unceremoniously: "I can't guarantee this. We have less than 40,000 people, and the number of others exceeds 50,000. If we are not careful, the Qingtang people will escape, so I will not deliberately issue this military order."
.
Look, Qingyi Jiegui Zhang is crashing into the valley entrance guarded by Lang Tan and Sun Dazhi like a huge wave. We have too few manpower. It will be very difficult to eat all the Xixia people, even with gunpowder.
The same thing, these people are all red-eyed and no one cares about life or death."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "We will have 30,000 reinforcements soon. Calculating the time, it's time to arrive..." (To be continued)
