905.The Great Army Forced the City (I)
Chi Fengdrum's army has been defeated, and Wang Ziqian does not know whether he is alive or dead, and the army is bound to be disheartened at present. If it is fought, there will always be more than 100,000 people, and I am afraid that it may not be the opponent of the Song army. ”
It took a long time for the Guigu Palace Master to say.
Duan Qilin was slightly moved, "Then the teacher means to withdraw?" ”
The Palace Master of Guigu shook his head, "Withdraw...... Even if it is withdrawn, if the Fenghebi army loses in Changsha, what is the use of these more than 100,000 people? ”
There was a slight strange glint in his eyes, "When these people return home, they will each return to their tribes." There are only tens of thousands of our forbidden army left, and I'm afraid that even they won't be able to control them anymore. When the time comes, don't talk about how to resist the Song army from attacking our dynasty after relieving themselves, it is these tribes that have rebelled, and it may also make this Dali change its name and surname. These people, rather than come back alive...... It's better to die there. Qilin, have you ever thought that in fact, when we attacked the Song Dynasty with the whole country's troops, there was no way out. ”
Duan Qilin only asked, "Then what do you mean, teacher?" ”
The master of the Guigu Palace said: "Not only to fight, but also to let Chi Feng Guzhen and these Song soldiers fight to the death." Even if you can only fight with these Song troops, it is a good thing to lose both. ”
He looked at Duan Qilin deeply, "What you have to do now is to help Chi Feng Drum to appease the army's heart." Let those soldiers of all tribes honestly stay with him in Hengshanzhai. What happens in the future depends on the situation. ”
Duan Qilin frowned and pondered for a long time, then nodded, "Okay, then do what the teacher does." ”
As for how to appease the army's heart, with his talent, he naturally doesn't need to let the bishop of Guigu Palace again.
After a short time, there are carrier pigeons from the imperial city of Dali to Dali closest to the most Ningfu on the west road of Guangnan.
The four towns of Dali's eight prefectures, four counties and four towns are the reliance of Dali's imperial power and the place where its fundamental strength lies.
In such a place, the chief official was the most trusted person by Duan Qilin.
Yan Weiang, the head of the most Ning Mansion, is an old minister of Dali. Since Duan Xingzhi, he has been the head of the Ning Mansion, and now he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties.
If you talk about qualifications, even Uncle Jiang Kui can't compare with him.
Only Yan Weiang has been staying in the most peaceful mansion all his life, never participating in the struggle for power in the court, and others can't defeat him, so he always gives people the impression of being honest and responsible. The name is not so loud.
But if you are familiar with Yan Weiang, you will know that Yan Weiang is terrible.
Someone once said that Yan Weiang is the Yan Weiang of Dali, and the most Ning Mansion is the most Ning Mansion of Yan Wei Ang. If Yan Weiang is not Dali's, then the same is true of the Ning Mansion.
This can be described as a heart-wrenching statement. But whether it was Duan Xingzhi or Duan Qilin, they didn't do anything about Yan Weiang.
This time, Wang Ziqian led the army of the Ningfu to the expedition, and Yan Weiang gathered an army of 30,000 in the Ningfu of only five tribes. It is enough to show his influence in the most Ning Mansion.
In the past, the king of Hui Mo was in the most peaceful mansion.
He speaks silently among the tribes, cannot lift his head, and is the weakest in power. It must be because of Yan Weiang's suppression.
Only on this night, Yan Weiang received Duan Qilin's flying pigeon message.
The most Ningfu capital city.
The lights in the city have been turned off, but there are still many places in the governor's palace where the lights are on.
There are many soldiers parading in the bright places, and there are many secret sentinels in the dark places.
Yan Weiang, who is old, doesn't know if he is really pure-hearted and has few desires, and he only lives alone in a secluded courtyard in the mansion. Usually, it's just a game of chess and fishing.
Moreover, when he played chess, he only played against the chess game and played with himself.
It's not so much a game of chess as a study.
In the middle of the night, Yan Weiang had already fallen asleep. There were no lights in the room, only a few lights were faintly lit in the yard.
The soldier who came to report only dared to knock lightly at the door, "Lord Steward, Lord Steward." ”
After a long while, Yan Weiang opened the door, "What's the matter?" ”
He was really old, and his face looked very tired.
The soldier handed the letter and said, "The emperor has a secret decree." ”
Yan Weiang took the letter, and his face didn't necessarily change, he just waved his hand, "Go down!" ”
And the soldier went out.
Yan Weiang, who was burly and now a little rickety, walked into the room.
The room was already lit up with a dim yellow light.
His shadow is printed on window paper.
After a short while, Yan Weiang got up again. Then, the lights in the room went out.
In the entire Ning Mansion, except for him, no one knew what was in the letter that Duan Qilin gave him.
It's just that the next day, the elderly Yan Weiang led dozens of worshippers in the house to leave the city and head towards the Great Song Guangnan West Road.
At this time, Zhao Dongting's letter also arrived in Yongzhou.
Although there are no defenders in Yongzhou at present, the Yue Li army did not break the city at the beginning, and the yamen in the city is still perfect.
The original second-in-command of Yongzhou temporarily took over the post of Mao Xingyan and Yongzhou governor.
After reading Zhao Dongting's secret letter, this Daiyong Prefecture Governor hurriedly went to find the Red Ghost and Zhu Zongyao and others.
At this time, their injuries were almost healed.
Then, the red ghost, Zhu Zongyao and others went out of the city, galloping towards the direction of Hengshanzhai.
There is a mysterious calm inside and outside the Hengshan cottage.
I don't know how long this calm can last.
In the blink of an eye, days passed.
The Song army and the new Song army in the territory of Kuizhou Road are both deploying troops and gathering forces around Kuizhou Mansion, but at this moment both sides are still arranged.
In Jiangling Mansion, Ezhou, Longxing Mansion, Jianning Mansion and other places in the northern Xinjiang of the Great Song Dynasty, there was no large-scale confrontation between the Song and Yuan armies.
For so many days, both sides have only tested each other. There are all losses, and they are all negligible losses.
Only at sea, the Yuan Dynasty navy is getting closer and closer to the coast of Fujian Road.
I think that when they arrive at the coastal areas of Fujian, I am afraid that the war in the entire northern Xinjiang will suddenly start in full swing.
Outside the Hengshan cottage.
Zhu Zongyao, Red Ghost and others finally rushed to the barracks.
Hong Wutian, Jian Fourteen, Liu Hongyi and others were naturally happy to see them healed from their serious injuries.
In Liu Hongyi's handsome tent, everyone only greeted each other for a while, and then Zhu Zongyao took out Zhao Dongting's secret letter.
He handed the letter to Liu Hongyi and said, "This is a secret letter from the emperor to Yongzhou. The governor of Yongzhou asked me to bring it here. ”
The eyes of Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong, Zhang Hongwei, Liu Zhuwen and others on the side instantly condensed on this secret letter.
Liu Hongyi took the secret letter and hurriedly opened it.
In a few seconds, Zhang Hongwei was already a little impatient next to him and asked, "Liu appeased the envoy, what did the emperor say?" ”
Liu Hongyi raised his head and said with some profundity: "The emperor asked us to force the Dali army back to the country." ”
There was silence in the tent.
Some people are disappointed, while others nod their heads in approval.
Obviously, they also have their own opinions.
Most radicals like Zhang Hongwei want to destroy these Dali troops at any cost. And people like Liu Zhuwen will inevitably have to think a little more.
Only now that Zhao Dongting has made a decision, Zhang Hongwei and the others will naturally not say anything.
Liu Hongyi didn't mean to discuss this matter, but looked at Wang Ziqian with a smile and said, "The emperor also said in the letter that you should first let Ziqian be a staff general in Commander Zhang's army, and then be promoted." I wish you all the best in the future. ”
Everyone in the tent congratulated Wang Ziqian.
Wang Ziqian smiled and arched his hand, "Ziqian, thank you for your introduction." ”
After that, everyone began to arrange the suppression of Hengshanzhai.
Since it is to force the Dali army back, in addition to the "trump card" of Wang Ziqian, it is natural to reflect the strength of the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army.
Liu Hongyi, Zhang Hongwei and others are planning to come out of the nest this time.
When everyone came out of the tent, the rallying call sounded in the army.
Countless Great Song soldiers ran out of the tents and ran to their respective school yards to gather.
Excluding those who were wounded, there were still more than 36,000 men and horses in the camp who could go out to fight at this time.
30,000 is the three armies of Tianxian, Tianji, and Tiangui led by Zhang Hongwei, Liu Zhuwen, and Miao Cheng.
And the more than 6,000 are the soldiers of the Jingjiang Mansion garrison and the Qiongzhou garrison.
Although there are not too many people, if you look down from the sky above the barracks, it is dense and full of mountains.
The barracks were crowded with people.
In less than half an hour, the army left the barracks and headed towards Hengshanzhai.
There were 600 surplus hot air balloons in the air.
The soldiers on the ground stretched for miles. Foot soldiers and cavalry are staggered, military flags are displayed, and tigers and tigers are vigorous.
The black or crimson standard armor always made the Great Song Forbidden Army look much more murderous than a miscellaneous army like Dali.
Such an army, let alone more than 36,000, is only 10,000 people, I am afraid that it can also have the momentum of black clouds crushing the city.
At this time, Yan Weiang, who set off from the most Ning Mansion, had not yet arrived in Hengshanzhai.
Only the Dali scouts hurriedly ran back to Hengshanzhai to report the news.
