Budaze slapped his horse and galloped wildly, lest the Xia army behind him catch up. He looked back from time to time, and the Xia army was busy cutting off his own rear army, and there was no sign of chasing him for the time being.

Budaze breathed a long sigh of relief......

Half of the sun came out, the sky was already slightly bright, and Budaze estimated that it had been twenty miles out of Xining City.

"Zamp!" The soldiers beside him let out a frightened cry.

"What?"

Budaze looked in the direction of his soldier's finger and saw a black line appear from miles to the southwest.

Budaze, who originally thought he had escaped, fell back into the ice cave with his heart.

After a while, Budaze reacted and bit his lower lip fiercely, and the bite was dripping with blood. He drew his scimitar, pointed at the black line in the southwest, and shouted, "Rush! Fight with the Xixia dog! ”

By the way, the book-chasing app I've been using recently, cache to read books, and read aloud offline!

Li Zunwei, who was far away in ZTE, sneeze again inexplicably.

After Ye Siming got the news from Fulai last night, he told Yan Kang overnight.

Wan Yankang immediately decided on a plan to divide the city, not to directly block it outside the city, but first let the Tubo people break through the siege, to destroy the city and frustrate their spirit, and then cut off their waist and abdomen, and finally there were 40,000 Jin soldiers and cavalry to set up an encirclement twenty miles away from Xining City, so as to wait for work.

More than 100,000 Tibetan troops, who could flee to 20 miles away, were less than 30 percent, and they finally rose up bravely, but they could not change their fate in the slightest, and the battle came to a complete end before noon.

The 180,000 Tibetan army, except for the 40,000 troops under Fulai and Daye, surrendered in formation. Half of the men and horses of Budaze, Chide and the small and medium-sized tribes were killed, half surrendered, and the number of those who were able to escape in the end was no more than 10,000.

The injuries of the Jin army and the Xia army together are less than 10,000 people. Among them, the casualties of the Xia army accounted for eighty percent, and the damage of the Jin army accounted for only two percent, and the gap between the soldiers of the two countries can be seen.

Wanyan Kang stood in the south of Xining City, watching the army outside the city escort prisoners to the barracks, thinking about the next step of the army.

The military judge gave a rough report on the battle damage, and Wan Yankang took a closer look at it, frowning slightly, and under the heavy preparations, there were nearly 10,000 casualties on his side.

The combat effectiveness of the Western Xia army was worse than he expected.

The elite soldier plan should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

"See Your Majesty!" Li Quanzhong and Tuoba Ye walked up to the city and knelt on one knee.

"Two generals, hard work." Wan Yankang turned around and helped the two of them up with a smile.

Li Quanzhong and Tuoba Ye's faces were filled with excitement that could not be concealed, and they excitedly asked for their lives, and they wanted to lead their troops to pursue the Tubo people who fled in all directions.

Wan Yankang shook his head: "There is no need to pursue. ”

According to statistics, the number of Tibetan soldiers who escaped was less than 10,000, and in a hurry, these survivors were able to return to the plateau alive, and I don't know how many people remained.

When these people returned to Tibet, they would only spread their prestige, strengthen the fears of the Tibetans, and pave the way for the next plan.

"Yes!" Li Quanzhong and Tuoba Ye bowed together. Although they didn't understand why Wan Yankang was not allowed to pursue, they didn't dare to have any more objections when Wan Yankang gave an order.

The Western Xia Kingdom was small and outnumbered, and it was able to stand among the great powers for two hundred years, and the generals of the Xia army have always been quite proud of their own combat strength.

If it is said that in Zhongxing City, the battle of the destruction of the Iron Harrier made them see the unparalleled bravery. This time, the encirclement and suppression of the Tubo army, and the military strategy of Yan Kang, made these two Western Xia generals even more amazed.

The Jin sergeants are all brave, and the middle and high-level officers are all vying for the lead, which is reflected in the Jin army

The overall quality makes them unable to give birth to a heart that can be matched.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Shengming took the initiative to merge my Western Xia into Dajin, otherwise if we really started a sword soldier, I am afraid that we will not end up much better than today's Tubo people......

"The residents of Xining City, they will start moving back tomorrow, Li Quanzhong, you are fully responsible for this matter."

"Yes!"

"Each household subsidizes five taels of silver, and it must be put in place, if there are those who fill their private pockets, they will not be spared!"

Li Quanzhong stood still, gave a military salute, and immediately went on an errand. Since these days, he has figured out the temper of this new master. By Wan Yankang's side, you don't need to figure out your intentions from time to time, as long as you do things steadfastly, you can get his appreciation.

As soon as Li Quanzhong left, Yan Kang thought about it and began to ask: "Tuoba, how many soldiers and horses are there in the whole territory of Western Xia?" ”

Tuoba Ye, as the general of Zhendong, opened his mouth about this: "Your Majesty, there are a total of 300,000 sergeants registered in the Ministry of War. ”

Wan Yankang had already understood before, but after listening to Tuoba Ye's reconfirmation at this moment, he still couldn't help frowning: "I'll give you an errand." ”

"Yes."

"Streamline 300,000 soldiers and horses to 100,000!"

Wanyan Kang paused for a moment, and added: "The soldiers and horses in Xining Prefecture are not among the streamlined. You go back and study first, and then come back and draw up a charter. ”

"Yes!" Tuoba Ye got the order and went happily.

The total population of Western Xia was almost 3 million, and it actually raised 300,000 soldiers and horses, which led to extremely heavy taxes on the people, and the court expenses often exceeded their means. Disarmament is undoubtedly a matter of joy for the military and people of Western Xia, and Tuoba Ye can be appointed to be responsible for disarmament, which will surely be praised by the people.

Not long after, Ye Siming took Fu Lai and Daye and rushed to the city.

"See Your Majesty!" Ye Siming bowed slightly.

Fulai and Tatsuya got down on their knees and tried to kiss Yan Kang's upper. After they met Ye Siming, they had already learned the actual situation of Western Xia at this time.

We didn't lose to the Xixia dog, we surrendered to the Emperor of Jin, so thinking about it, Fu Lai and Da also felt a lot better.

Although Wan Yankang was a little displeased with this gift, he also knew that this was a etiquette for the Tubo people to express their awe, so he let the two kiss the upper of the shoe lightly, and then stretched out his hand to gently support it.

Fu Lai and Da also felt a strong surge, and involuntarily stood up, but after getting up, the two of them did not shake in the slightest, and the strong force disappeared just right.

"Which one is General Folye?" Wan Yankang asked with a smile.

Fry hurriedly said: "The villain is exactly. ”

Wan Yankang patted him on the shoulder: "If you can distinguish the time of the day, take the initiative to lead the troops to surrender, I have to reward you heavily." Tell me, what do you want? ”

Since the battle, the four battalions outside the city have not relaxed their vigilance day and night, and if there is no news from Fulai, the army can also find the breakthrough of the Tubo people in time.

However, if the enemy army is temporarily found to have fled, the Jin army can only choose to block it head-on. The defeat of the Tibetan army is still irreversible, but the number of casualties on its own side is only afraid to quadruple.

Therefore, for Fry's active surrender, it must be rewarded.

Fry snapped and fell to his knees again: "The villain is a general of the defeated army, and he doesn't dare to be greedy for merit, so he just hopes that His Majesty will not kill the prisoner." ”

Wan Yankang stared at Fu Lai, and when he saw that he said this, his feelings were sincere, and his eyes were pure, he couldn't help but appreciate this person even more. He pondered for a while before he said, "You can rest assured, our army is not in the habit of killing prisoners. For these captives, I intend to be slaves according to the rules of your Tibetans. ”

Fry exclaimed, thinking

Say something, but don't dare to say anything.

"If you surrender to sincerity, you will not be considered a captive, let alone a slave. The other captives are slaves, not for a lifetime......" Wan Yankang knew his worries and immediately spoke of relief.

For the surrender of Fu Lai and Daye, Wan Yankang has a plan, and the 50,000 prisoners of war must be treated differently. He planned to reduce the 50,000 Tibetan prisoners of war to military slaves and use them for the production and construction of Western Xia.

Tibet was originally a slave society, and it was customary for the defeated to become slaves. What's more, Wan Yankang plans to set a three-year period, and if these prisoners of war perform well within three years, they can all be released as slaves and released back to the plateau.

After listening to Yan Kang's plan, Fu Lai and Da also breathed a sigh of relief.

"You go back first, restrain the team, and don't make any trouble." Wan Yankang waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to retreat first.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Ye Siming took a step forward and bowed slightly.

Wan Yan Kang laughed: "Congratulations, my general of Zhengxi." ”

Ye Siming was stunned: "Your Majesty, who are you?" ”

Wan Yankang pointed to the southwest: "The battleable soldiers of Tubo have been folded by eighty percent out of ten, how can there be any reason not to take the opportunity to take it!" ”

"Your Majesty is asking me to continue to lead the troops to the west?"

"Yes, I will appoint you as the general of the expedition to the west, and lead Xining to stay behind. Within three to five years, all the Tibetan departments will be collected! ”

Ye Siming laughed: "Your Majesty, Tubo's combat strength is exhausted, why do you need three years, I think within three months, you can level the plateau." ”

Wan Yankang shook his head: "It is easy to defeat Tibet, and it is not easy to completely incorporate Tibet into my Dajin territory." In the hundreds of years since the founding of Tibet, only Tibet has sent troops to plunder other countries, and few powerful countries have invaded Tibet, do you know why? ”

Ye Siming thought about it, but he really didn't know why, so he had to shake his head: "Please also ask Your Majesty to show me." ”

"If we don't have food to eat, people can go hungry for three or five days, if we don't have water to drink, we will be sad all day, if we pinch our mouth and nose, how long can we live?"

Ye Siming pinched his mouth and nose and tried it until he couldn't hold it anymore, then he let go of his hand and took a few breaths: "I won't live long." ”

Wan Yankang danced with his hands and drew a circle in front of him: "Qi, you can't see it, you can't touch it, but it's an indispensable thing for us." But do you know that the concentration of this qi varies from place to place. ”

Ye Siming sighed, and his eyes lit up.

Wan Yankang beckoned, called all the guards beside him, and began to explain the effect of altitude on air concentration, and popularized the principle of altitude sickness.

Ye Siming suddenly realized, and immediately scolded: "In this way, only the Tubo people beat us, and we can't hit their lair!" ”

"If that's the case, I'll let you be the general of this Raushzi expedition to the west!"

Wan Yankang smiled, and then said: "There are two main points to attack the plateau. First of all, choose the plateau soldiers as much as possible, and when the time comes, the 40,000 troops of Fulai and Daya will all be at your disposal. Secondly, if our men and horses want to go up to the plateau, we can't do it overnight, we must go up slowly, and when the soldiers' bodies adapt to the plateau, we can let it go. ”

Ye Siming understood why Wan Yankang wanted to give him three years, he straightened up and saluted: "Obey!" ”

"After the army ascended the plateau, the means should be as gentle as possible, and the old practice of the grassland should be followed. Most of the Tibetan people believe in religion, and I will arrange a virtuous monk for you to go to the plateau with the army. ”

Ye Siming said happily: "I don't know which Shaolin monk is it?" ”

Wan Yankang shook his head and smiled: "This high monk is called the Golden Wheel Dharma King. ”
