Verses 532 & 533 The Emperor of the Tang State, to the Great Khan of the Mongols

"Widow, you have long been not the general of the Yuan Dynasty to conquer the south, you surrender to the general, what do you have to do with the widow?" Li Luo said teasingly.

Chen Yiji reacted quickly, and immediately threw his whole body into the dust, "Chen Yiji, surrender to Tang Gong!" Meet... Meet Your Majesty! ”

"Haha!" Li Luo couldn't help laughing out loud, and pointed with a horsewhip, "You used to be the prince of Annan, and you knelt down to the widow, the monarch of the Tang Kingdom, are you willing?" ”

His words are hidden in the edge, it depends on how Chen Yiji answers.

It is true that Chen Yiji is a soft bone, but he is smart enough, especially a little smart.

He reacted immediately and said loudly: "I am now a servant of the king before the horse, and I am willing to bow down to the king!" As for Annan's hometown, it was originally beaten down by the king, and it naturally belongs to the king. ”

Li Luo was very satisfied when he heard this. Well, this Chen Yiji's answer passed.

When the Tang army recovered Jiaozhou (Annam), this person would still be of great use. Since it has use value, let's keep it.

"Well, since you are sincere in your heart, the widow will spare you. Loose! Li Luo ordered.

Chen Yiji was overjoyed, and after he loosened his ties, he took the initiative to bow down again, "Weichen Xie Jun's grace to live must be ruined..."

"Shut up!"

Kudu Timur was furious, "Chen Yiji, the python Gusi (the demon king of Mongolian legends) devoured your courage, and the Mao Wusi Po (demon woman) chewed your bones!" Even the hornless ewe, the cowardly rabbit is more like a warrior than you! You will be eaten by the coliform worms (magic worms) of the Gobi like the wild dogs begging everywhere on the steppe! ”

This is really the most vicious curse in Mongolia, and it is actually a curse. In particular, when the shaman manipulates the magic weapon to speak, it will cause the cursed person to collapse.

Fortunately, Kudu Timur was not a shaman's wife, and Chen Yiji could not understand such a complicated Mongolian dialect.

However, Chen Yiji knew that Kudu Timur was scolding himself.

Chen Yiji's face turned red and he scolded: "You are just a savage butcher who loves to kill!" Who is there to insult me! Hmph, what will happen to a group of uncivilized Tartars? You are a role model! ”

As soon as he surrendered to Li Luo, he immediately trembled, and he no longer had the slightest fear of his previous master.

The generals of Tang Jun and Liang Jun couldn't help but laugh when they saw the two scolding each other.

Several Han officials also followed Chen Yiji's example and demanded surrender. When Li Luo was Hu Guangpingzhang before, they thought that Li Luo was set up by Timur of Kudu, and they didn't take Li Luo seriously.

Now they finally understand, how could Li Luo be overshadowed by Kudu Timur? That's just a rebellion.

It's stupid to wait for someone by yourself.

Li Luocai will not accept the surrender of these former colleagues. These people have already sold their souls to Meng Yuan, helping Meng Yuan to oppress the people, doubly fierce, and there is no good thing.

"Liang Gong, they will be handed over to you. Whether to live or die, Liang Gong decides. Li Luo didn't bother to kill them, and handed them all over to Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin couldn't wait, "Then thank Tang Gong." Then he ordered: "Take them back to Gangneung and kill them in front of the whole city!" ”

"Your Majesty! Spare your life, Your Majesty! ”

"Your Majesty! I'm willing to work for the beams! ”

Several provincial Han officials cried and shouted for their lives, but where could they live?

Li Luo didn't bother to talk to the captives anymore, he handed over Kudu Timur and others to Xiao Yin, and then released Da Dali on the spot.

Da Dali was a rare upright man among the Mongol generals, with the loyalty and bravery of a military general, and the ferocious barbarism of other Mongol generals, so Li Luo decided to spare his life.

Li Luo wrote a letter on the spot: The monarch of the Tang State sent a letter to the Great Khan of Mongolia.

The book says: "Li Luo, the monarch of the Tang State, addressed the Great Khan of Mongolia. The people of China, the genus of civilization, cannot be slaves for a day. The fertile soil of Kyushu, a place for farming, cannot be a pasture for a day.

The words of the widow are not to be ignored by the Khan.

The Khan used millions of tribes to serve hundreds of millions of Xia descendants. With the genus of ignorance, it is a great country for thousands of miles, and this is the way to take trouble. Since ancient times, those who have been small and big have been stronger than a while, how can they be long. With the wisdom of the Khan, we should know that the Central Plains cannot be reached, and we must not be humiliated, and we cannot be defeated.

I saw that the south was raging back then, and I didn't know that I was panicking, and the horses couldn't return to the north? The person in charge, Hu Buju is prepared for danger in peace, far-sighted, judging the situation, and planning for future generations?

Since the khan is the lord of Mongolia, he would rather seek a time than a lifetime? If the world is anti-flag hunting, and the Central Plains is full of wolf smoke, then what can I do, is it too late to regret it.

The people of the Han family are not cattle and sheep on the Mo, and the lions and tigers in the real cage. The cage is also the shackles of Zhao Song. Zhao Song died, and the lion and tiger came out. The Khan is a soldier of tigers and wolves, and he controls the people of lions and tigers, can he get it? They will devour each other, and the few will lose, and the many will win. This is the way of heaven.

As far as the widow can see, if the Khan returns to my rivers and mountains and returns to Mobei, then there will be nothing to do, and the world will be peaceful, so why not do it.

Even if you don't want to return north, why not take advantage of the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period to lead the army to the west. The land of the extreme west, Fengyuan thousands of miles, can be pasture, with the ability of the Khan, the courage of the Mongolian army, will be even more Badu to the west.

In the south of the extreme west, there are thousands of miles of fertile land, abundant grass, suitable for pasture, feudal heroes. Its people are dark-skinned and ugly, lazy and ignorant, and can be slaves.

Aren't these two places a godsend? If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed. With the power of Dayuan at this time, the western expedition is unstoppable. At that time, the Khan will destroy many countries, and I am afraid that Genghis Khan will not be able to reach it.

On the day of the Khan's westward expedition, when the Tang and Yuan were repaired. At that time, the widow could help the Khan to conquer the west and become the Great Khan of the West......"

Li Luo's letter was quite polite, showing his bearing. There is only one meaning: the Central Plains is not a place of your barbaric rule, and sooner or later it will be overthrown. If you have the vision, you can either take the initiative to return to Mobei, or go west to conquer Western Europe and Africa.

Of course, Kublai Khan would not take this letter seriously, but at least it could plant a seed in the hearts of him and the ministers of the Yuan court. Maybe this seed will really be able to break the ground and sprout in the future, promoting a larger-scale and more thorough westward expedition of the Mengyuan Dynasty.

Li Luo knew very well that even if he restored the Central Plains, he could only drive out the Tartars, but could not completely destroy Meng Yuan. People are originally a horse nation, they really can't beat it, just run on a horse, can you catch up? was so strong in the early Ming Dynasty, he couldn't destroy Meng Yuan.

Even if you can't completely destroy the Yuan court, you must force it to go west, and let them go to the Western world and Africa to do their bidding.

In the end, Li Luo asked Da Dali to take the letter and send him back across the river.

A few days later, Kudu Timur died a tragic death in Gangneung. As for how he died, it is not known to the outside world, it is said that he died from a terrible insect punishment, and the person who killed Kudu Timur is rumored to be Her Royal Highness Princess Guangming.

Apu Muha was beheaded, and several other Han high-ranking officials were also beheaded by Xiao Yin in the city.

The capture of the Battle of Jianli, Li Luo gave all of it to Xiao Yin. More than 10,000 captives, divided equally between the two families, all used as military slaves and coolies.

When the news of the annihilation of the Huguang Yuan army came out, the entire south was shaken. The Yuan court officials and the forces supporting the Yuan court in various places were all terrified and hated Li Luo.

I don't know how many orders for the transfer of troops are being issued, and I don't know how many forces are planning a counterattack. In particular, the big landlords of Hunan Province and the Tusi nobles in the southwest all moved.

Hudu Timur's vast army has been wiped out, and Li Luo's next focus is to aid Jianmen Pass and Wuguan.

The Tang army in these two levels held on for several months, and the grain and grass weapons were exhausted, and they were about to be unable to hold on.

Li Luo wanted to support the two levels, while Xiao Yin, with Li Luo's acquiescence, recruited troops and horses to recover other states and counties in Huguang. With Li Luo's connivance and support, Xiao Liang's strength quickly recovered.

Li Luo was stationed in Ezhou, lived in the Pingzhang Mansion where he once lived, and dispatched troops to support the two passes.

"Your Majesty, our army is running out of gunpowder." Ma Zhiyuan was a little worried and came to see Li Luo with a book, "This time to support the two levels, gunpowder is indispensable." Probably, within a month, our army will not be replenished with gunpowder. ”

Li Luo smiled and said, "Brother Qianli, you, the marching Sima, are really competent. Rest assured, the matter of gunpowder, Madame has already been resolved. ”

In fact, there is no good way to solve the problem, it is nothing more than an idea to increase production and re-accumulate gunpowder.

In the four months since the Tang Army started its army, tens of thousands of firearms troops and sailors have consumed a large amount of gunpowder. The gunpowder transported to the two levels alone exceeded 200,000 catties. The gunpowder produced in Haidong is less than 20% left.

A big war can be used up.

Black powder is not like yellow powder, and the consumption is really amazing. One shot fired by the firecrackers will cost more than one or two medicines. Artillery firing is even more calculated.

After the Tang army obtained the 30,000 craftsmen around Poyang Lake, the technical personnel were already extremely abundant. However, the supply of nitrate has been tight, which greatly restricts the expansion of production. And Li Luo doesn't remember where nitrate is abundant.

…………

In the Qinling Mountains, above the Wuguan, the shouting and killing sound resounded for a long time, and it fell silent again.

The Yuan army attacked again and was finally repulsed.

Liu Weitai, the commander of the Tang Army, sat on the wall battlement exhausted and scolded: "These traitor troops are really endless, tens of thousands of people have died before and after, and they will continue to work for the Tartars." ”

On the narrow battlefield north of Guancheng, there are corpses of traitor soldiers. Some were shot, some were killed by firearms, and some were killed by artillery.

It has been three months since the Yuan army attacked Wuguan.

Wuguan firmly blocked the passage of the northern Yuan army to the south. In order to quickly open the passage, the Yuan court ordered the northern Han army to attack in turn. In the past few months, the traitor army has tackled dozens of key problems, with tens of thousands of casualties, but they have always sighed.

Especially the artillery fire on Wuguan made the traitor army fearless. But under the strict orders of the Mongolian generals, the traitor army had to attack again and again, consuming the ammunition of the Tang army.

Although this tactic is to consume human lives, it is not without effect. The gunpowder of the Tang Army is about to run out.

Of the five thousand regular Tang troops, only more than three thousand remained. Of the 5,000 auxiliaries, only more than 2,000 remained.

Six thousand.

What's even worse is that the Tang Army is guarding the pass on both sides. On the one hand, it had to resist the Yuan army in Guanbei, and on the other hand, it had to resist the Huguang Yuan army in Guannan.

This point of soldiers and horses has been on both sides for several months. The Yuan army in Guanbei had at least more than 100,000 troops, and the Huguang Yuan army in Guannan also had more than 10,000 people.

It's a wheel war. So much so that every Don soldier was tired. But their fighting spirit was still very strong, and under the influence of the samurai and the members of the society, every Tang army had a certain heart to die.

The big spy Li Jing was also closed, he didn't have the chic temperament of a scholar at this time, and he was also wearing armor and a scruffy beard.

"Lvshuai Liu, although I don't know the news from the outside world, I'm sure that the king's reinforcements are coming." Li Jing said, carving a wooden plaque with a Tang knife.

Liu Weitai held the Tang knife in his hand, looked at the dangerous Guan Shan, and said with a flat expression: "Even if there are no reinforcements and no gunpowder, we must fight to the death." If I wait for a month longer, Datang will be three points stronger. ”

A regimental commander came over to report: "Brigade commander, the remains of the soldiers killed in the battle have been cremated. ”

Liu Weitai nodded, "Got it." And how much gunpowder? ”

The group shook his head, "It's almost empty, only enough for one firecrack." ”

Li Jing blew the wooden card, revealing the carved word "Li Jing", and said: "Then don't use it, let's use it at the end." Don't use the artillery either. Those traitor soldiers seem to be accustomed to our army's firearms. There are arrows shot by the Yuan army in this city, and it is a waste if you don't use it. ”

Liu Weitai said: "Our army's bows and bed crossbows are not much available now. The bowstring was broken and was not replaced. The next thing is mainly to rely on spears. ”

"Easy to do." Li Jing said with a smile and pointed to the side of the guide with a wooden sign, "There are more than 10,000 Hu Guangyuan troops there, and they have been cooperating with the Guanbei Yuan army to tackle key problems, and they have not gone out of the customs to clean them up before." ”

Liu Weitai's eyes lit up, "What does Brother Li mean, is it that our army took the initiative to go out of the customs, destroyed the Huguangyuan army in the south, and seized their weapons?" Well, that's a good idea. That's it. ”

Liu Weitai stood up, looked north, and found that the Yuan army had retreated, and he should not come to attack the problem again today. Then, just took advantage of this gap to destroy the Huguangyuan army in Guannan.

"Herald! Gather 3,000 soldiers and horses, follow me out of Nanguan, and take the initiative to attack! Liu Weitai simply ordered and put on his helmet, "Brother Li, the city will be handed over to you." ”

At this time, the camp of the Huguangyuan army in the south of Guan was filled with an atmosphere of panic, and the army's heart was broken.

It turned out that the Yuan army here had received the news that Timur was defeated in Kudu and that the Yuan army in Huguang was annihilated.

They originally had 20,000 men, and they were the Han army sent by Timur from Kudu to attack the southern city of Wuguan. But in the past few months, there has been no way to take the military pass, and tens of thousands of people have been killed and wounded.

Today's only remaining 10,000 people have long been exhausted and miserable, and their morale is already low. Now that I heard the news of Li Luo's victory and Kudu Timur's defeat, how can I still have the heart to fight?

"Withdraw! Wuguan can't stay! Once the officials of Zhongtang were defeated, Huguang had no army. Li Luo and Xiao Yin's thief army will come at any time, and we must retreat immediately! Wu Luhou, the commander of the army, said, and the waist knife in his hand slashed to the ground.

A thousand households said: "General, we have no military order, and we retreat without authorization, and then the court will blame it..."

Wu Lu glared at this Qianhu with a cheeky smile, "Wang Qianhu is afraid that the court will blame him, so there is no need to withdraw." You just stay here and continue to attack Kannan, maybe break Kannan, that will be a great achievement. ”

The other thousand households laughed in agreement.

Idiot. If you don't withdraw now, wait for Li Luoxiao to come and kill you? Zhongtang is dead, and he can still take care of the imperial court orders?

Wang Qianhu was choked speechless, so he could only obediently close his mouth.

At this moment, suddenly an earth-shattering shout of killing came, and the generals of the Yuan army in the startled tent jumped up together.

What's going on!

Could it be that Li Luo or Xiao Yin are here?

Thinking of this, Wu Luhou hurriedly dragged his knife and left, shouting at the guards.

A group of thousands of households also rushed out of the big tent, shouted for their guards, and rushed to the war horse.

The first time it turned out to be not to organize resistance, but to flee.

"General! The rebels in the city took the initiative to get out! Several Yuan soldiers rushed into the big tent and shouted, but they were dumbfounded, how could there be a shadow of Wu Luhou in the big tent of the Chinese army?

Not only Wu Luhou, but also a group of thousands of households don't know where to go.

"The rebels have taken the initiative to get out!" Several Yuan soldiers shouted, but none of the generals came out to respond.

It turned out that Wu Luhou and others had already led their guards to escape on horseback from behind the camp at this time.

It was the news of the total annihilation of Timur that frightened them. The rebels in Guancheng had never attacked out of the pass, so at this time, they subconsciously thought that Li Luo or Xiao Yin was coming, and they didn't expect Liu Weitai to take the initiative to go out of the pass.

However, even if they knew that the Tang Army took the initiative to go out and chose to organize a counterattack, with their fighting spirit and morale, it would be difficult to outnumber the enemy.

"Kill!" The wolf-like Tang army slaughtered the Yuan army camp with swords and guns, as if entering a no-man's land.

The 10,000 yuan army, which had lost its command, had lost its morale, how could it be the opponent of the Tang army? For a time, he fled in all directions and was killed by thousands.

In the end, the dead and the fleeing were considered to be completely annihilated.

And the casualties of the Don army were almost negligible, and it was simply a one-sided massacre of the enemy army.

Liu Weitai seized a large amount of military rations, bows and arrows, all of which were transported to Guancheng. Among them, there are more than 20,000 bowstrings alone, which is enough for the defenders for a long time.
