The purpose of Chong Shiheng is to play a majestic and momentum at one time, and to play the posture of a big country facing a small country with a thunderous sweep.

And then, he did.

Within one day, the three cities of Dali did show their majesty and momentum.

There was also some trance.

The reorganized Tianwu Army was equipped with firearms, and its combat effectiveness was a bit beyond his expectations.

When spending the night in the border of Dali and the Great Song Dynasty, Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng discussed that they would take the three cities of Dali in ten days, and then wait for the officials sent by Dali to negotiate, and then take the fourth city in front of them, that is, the jurisdiction of the Fengpa Ministry.

But in fact, it only took them one day to break through the three cities of Dali.

On the second day, the three sides gathered their troops under the city of Fengpabu.

Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng led an army of 30,000, and as soon as they arrived at the city of the Fengpabu, the leader of the Fengpabu led 10,000 soldiers and horses of his tribe out of the city with a white flag.

"Down?!"

Zhu Neng straddled the horse, scratched his head, and asked the Chong Shiheng next to him with some uncertainty.

Chong Shiheng was full of emotion in his heart, but there was no strange clarity on his face, he glanced at Zhu Neng, and said lightly: "Probably knowing that we broke through the battle of Adu, Shama, and Shuanglin, and knowing that our soldiers are sharp, they can't stop it, so I took the initiative to surrender." ”

Zhu Neng said with some embarrassment: "This battle hasn't been fought yet, it's over, it's really ...... Unwilling to ......"

In the past, the war was not allowed to be fought for ten days and half a month.

Now it's a good thing, the original battle plan for nearly half a month was completed in two days.

obviously broke through the four cities, but Zhu Neng felt like he didn't fight.

Chong Shiheng glanced at Zhu Neng and said, "Isn't it good to take a city without bloodshed?" ”

Zhu Neng sighed and said, "It's good...... But it's just not good. ”

"If you can't do it, you hold back. Our goal is the whole of Dali, and at the moment we have only won four cities, and there are countless cities that we need to break behind, and some are wars for you to fight. ”

Chong Shiheng angrily scolded Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng pursed his lips and did not speak.

He knew that what Chong Shiheng said was the truth.

Many people in the Great Song Dynasty think that Dali is pitiful because it is small from a place, but it is not.

The territory of Dali, even if it is better than that of Western Xia, is not much more than that.

In addition to Dali's capital Yangtho Baa City, there are eight prefectures, four counties, four towns, and thirty-seven departments. Among them, 37 are entrenched in eight prefectures, four counties, and four towns.

Of the thirty-seven departments, most of them are autonomous and only obey the orders of the king of Dali.

At present, Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng have captured the Adu Division, the Shama Division, the Shuanglin Division, and the Fengpa Division, which are not included in the 37 Divisions.

The city where the four tribes of Adu live is nothing more than the city under the jurisdiction of Jianchang Mansion, one of the eight prefectures.

The four departments of Adu are also under the control of Jianchang Mansion.

Therefore, Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng broke through the four cities of Dali, and they couldn't let Dali break their muscles and bones, at most they just stripped a piece of meat.

The purpose of Shiheng and Zhu Neng is the whole Dali, so there will be a fight in the future.

Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng used a blunt knife to cut meat, so they had to cut meat from Dali one by one.

Adu's four divisions are the first knife they cut to Dali.

Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng sat on horseback, waiting for the leader of the Fengpa tribe to come closer, and after completely expressing their submission, they sent people to collect the blades of the soldiers and horses of the Fengpa tribe, and then led the army into the city governed by the Fengpa tribe.

into the city.

Chong Shiheng sent Zhu Neng to lead the soldiers and horses to set up defenses, and he followed the leader of the Fengpa tribe into the city's steward's yamen, and counted and confiscated all the money in the yamen.

After everything is sorted out.

The city to which the wind and pipa belonged was officially returned to the Great Song Dynasty.

After dark.

Chong Shiheng refused the banquet of the leader of the Fengpa tribe, as well as the beauties sent by the leader of the Fengpa tribe, and returned to the big tent of the Chinese army.

As soon as he entered the tent of the Chinese army, he saw Zhu Neng drinking wine and eating meat in the tent.

Chong Shiheng walked over, snatched a piece of meat from Zhu Neng's hand, and said to Zhu Neng while stuffing it into his mouth: "We have to digest the four cities we have conquered as soon as possible to prepare for the subsequent capture of other places."

When we sent troops before, it was estimated that it would take half a month to take the four divisions of Adu and open the door to Dali.

Therefore, the officials sent by the imperial court to govern Dali are still staying in the Sichuan Mansion.

At the same time that you send someone to send the good news to the official family, you will send someone to Sichuan Mansion again, so that the officials sent to us by the imperial court can rush to Dali as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Neng got up, handed the flask to Chong Shiheng, and then went out of the tent to tell him about it.

Chong Shiheng drank wine and ate meat in the tent.

After Zhu Neng finished ordering the soldiers who delivered the letter, he returned to the tent.

After sitting down, he accompanied Chong Shiheng to eat meat and drink wine.

The two of them ate seventy percent full, and stopped eating meat and drinking.

Chong Shiheng said to Zhu Neng: "The Fenglu Department surrendered without a fight, and we have lost the means to deter the Dali envoys, so we must use other methods." ”

Zhu Neng said in a deep voice: "The capital city of Jianchang Mansion is thirty miles west of the Fengpabu. If we have 50,000 soldiers and horses, we will be able to rush to Jianchang Mansion at noon tomorrow if we leave our baggage behind and travel all the way. ”

When Chong Shiheng heard this, he rolled his eyes, "Jianchang Mansion is a city after all, how can it be so easy to fight?" There are about 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed inside, and with those barbarians nearby, the number is likely to be equal to ours.

Now that we have broken through the four cities under the rule of Jianchang Mansion, the Jianchang Mansion must have received the news and made arrangements.

If we kill it now, we are likely to be in the hands of others.

Therefore, it is not advisable to attack Jianchang Mansion rashly.

If my guess is correct, after dawn tomorrow, the lord of the Jianchang Mansion will send an envoy to negotiate with us.

When the time comes, we'll give them a dismount and scare them.

Then let the lord of Jianchang Mansion inform the king of Dali about this.

Wait for the king of Dali to send someone to negotiate with us. ”

Zhu Neng frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Chong Shiheng continued: "It is easy to take Dali, but it is difficult to govern Dali. Since you proposed the method of using Dali people to govern Dali people, and the court also adopted it, then you have to follow the law.

The imperial court did not send us many officials, and we had limited troops, so we could not take risks.

We have to wait until the officials sent by the imperial court arrive, and after they have set up a shelf in the city of the four divisions of Adu, and selected some henchmen who can help them govern Dali, we will continue to attack the city and plunder the land.

As long as they can barely maintain the city of Adu's four divisions, there is no chaos.

We don't have to worry about a fire in the backyard.

Don't worry about being cut off. ”

Zhu Neng frowned and said, "But after the King of Dali knows about this, he will definitely increase his troops to Jianchang Mansion."

The more troops Jianchang Mansion increases, the more difficult it will be for us to attack Jianchang Mansion. ”

Chong Shiheng said in a deep voice: "Our use of troops this time is focused on a strange word. When we use our troops, we want to take them by surprise and take them by surprise. The attack on the capital city of Jianchang Mansion is naturally no exception.

We are the attackers, and we have the time and energy to pick and choose where we attack.

Dali negotiated with us and negotiated with the imperial court, and it took more than a month in the middle, and we had time to plan Jianchang City. ”

Speaking of this, Chong Shiheng added, "Of course, if you don't take Jianchang City now, it is also to avoid completely tearing your face with King Dali." ”

Zhu Neng finished listening to Chong Shiheng's words, his brows furrowed slightly, he nodded solemnly, and said, "Tomorrow, I will send the scouts among the generals out to explore Jianchang City." ”

"Good ......"

After discussing the matter, the two went back to their respective tents and went to sleep.

Although the leader of the Wind Papa tribe prepared a comfortable couch for them.

But neither Chong Shiheng nor Zhu Neng accepted it.

As the brains of an army, they will never put themselves in danger when fighting.

Who knows if the leader of the Wind Papa clan will not fake surrender and prepare to assassinate them after they let their guard down......

Following.

After Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng got up, they inspected the camp, then ate some food, and sat in the tent waiting for the envoys sent by Jianchang Mansion.

Wait until noon.

The envoy sent by Jianchang Mansion rode a fast horse to the city of Fengpabu.

Why the Song soldiers invaded Dali, the top and bottom of the Jianchang Mansion knew it, and the envoys sent by the Jianchang Mansion naturally knew it more clearly.

Although it is said that the conditions and reasons for the Song soldiers to invade Dali are very absurd in the eyes of Dali people.

But after all, it was Dali who was the first to lose.

Therefore, after the envoys of Jianchang Mansion entered the city of Fengpabu, they were respectful to Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng.

Chong Shiheng didn't say much to the envoys of Jianchang Mansion.

He bluntly said to the envoy of Jianchang Mansion that no one in Jianchang Mansion is qualified to talk to him on an equal footing.

If this matter is to be discussed, the king of Dali must send someone.

The envoys of Jianchang Mansion still have to quarrel with Chong Shiheng.

Chong Shiheng directly took him to watch a big scene of bombardment of Shimen.

The envoys of Jianchang Mansion, seeing that a tall stone gate was broken into stones under artillery bombardment, did not dare to say a word, and ran back to Jianchang Mansion in a gloomy manner.

After that, the lord of Jianchang Mansion sent someone to send a very generous gift to Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng.

and told Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng that he had already played the matter to the king of Dali.

King Dali will reply soon, and he hopes that the two of them will be angry.

After Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng took the generous gift from the lord of Jianchang Mansion, they opened their mouths and asked the lord of Jianchang Mansion for a more generous gift, and promised that after receiving the generous gift, they would never touch the city of Jianchang Mansion.

The lord of Jianchang Mansion was forced to send an even richer gift to the two of them.

After the two of them received the generous gift, they decisively shrank their forces.

It creates an illusion that the city of Jianchang Mansion is not moving.

Five days later.

The imperial court sent the magistrates who followed Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng to Dali and arrived in the city of the fourth department of the Adu Department.

Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng decisively handed over the four cities to the magistrate to govern.

The magistrate who was sent to Dali was not a good thing in the Great Song Dynasty.

All of them are thick-faced and black-hearted things.

When the Great Song Dynasty was in trouble, he was caught, and he was originally going to be exiled.

But Dali needs to employ people, so Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji summed it up and sent them all over.

Not only that, some prisoners who were exiled to Shamen Island and Yongzhou have also received the will of the imperial court one after another and are rushing to Dali.

It's because they're not good people that they won't have any good ways to govern the newly acquired land of the Four Cities.

The rules set for them by the imperial court were simple.

Just two.

one, ruthlessly help the court make money.

First, maintain law and order, and when necessary, you can also draw out some armed and trustworthy people to help the court as thugs.

After they learned these two rules, they completely let themselves go.

Why?

Because the rules set by the imperial court for them are no different from the concepts and styles they pursued when they were officials in the Great Song Dynasty.

When they were corrupt officials in the Great Song Dynasty, they often did the two rules set by the imperial court.

Work hard to make money, cultivate a group of tongues and thugs, and help yourself guide speech, suppress the people, and kill people when it is critical.

Now, let them do what they like the most and are most accustomed to, and they naturally let themselves go.

The fifth day of the magistrate's entry into Dali.

set up a shelf to govern the four departments of Adu, and also recruited a large group of dogs who were willing to follow them to fight for the tiger.

On the sixth day.

Yang Yunxian, the envoy of Dali sent by Emperor Duan Suzhen of Dali, arrived at the city where the Fenglu Department was located.

Masaji is the era name of Duan Suzhen.

Not long after he ascended the throne, he bumped into the matter of the Great Song soldiers entering Dali, panicked, and then ran to the royal temple and asked the two elders who had already made the emperor a monk for advice.

Under the guidance of his elders, he sent his young henchman Yang Yunxian to the place where the Fengpa Department was located to negotiate the matter.

Although Yang Yunxian is young, he is from a big family and has some talents, so he is quite valued by Emperor Duan Suzhen.

After Yang Yunxian arrived at the Wind Pipa Department.

Chong Shiheng came out to meet him.

After talking to Yang Yunxian, Chong Shiheng knew that Yang Yunxian was a smart person, so he didn't go around in circles with Yang Yunxian.

He told Yang Yunxian decisively.

Dali must give him a large sum of money for the labor army, and then send people to Bianjing City to ask Zhao Zhen for guilt, and after Zhao Zhen's understanding, he will withdraw his troops.

After Yang Yunxian learned about the conditions of Chong Shiheng, he did not stay in the Fenglu Department for long.

Yang Yunxian returned to the capital of Dali and told the Zhengzhi Emperor Duan Suzhen of the conditions of Chong Shiheng.

After Emperor Duan Suzhen learned about the conditions of Chong Shiheng, he didn't think much about it and agreed.

On the one hand, he sent someone to send money to Chong Shiheng to stabilize Chong Shiheng, and on the other hand, he sent someone to carry a heavy gift, took his letter of pleading, and rushed to Bianjing City to meet Zhao Zhen.

The one who went to ask Zhao Zhen for his guilt instead was his henchman Yang Yunxian.

Yang Yunxian took a heavy gift, and after he arrived in the capital of Bianjing in the Great Song Dynasty, it was already a month later.

When Yang Yunxian rushed to Bianjing City with heavy gifts, Kou Ji had just finished his second deal with the big cannibal.

Yang Yunxian entered Bianjing City and was invited to the post house by the officials of Honglu Temple, waiting to be summoned.

When Kou Ji entered Bianjing City, Kou Ji was summoned into the palace by Zhao Zhen.

As soon as you enter the palace.

Arrived at the Shishido.

Kou Ji saw that Lu Yijian and the three of them had already arrived.

Kou Ji entered the capital hall, and after saluting Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Fourth brother, the Dali envoy has entered Beijing......

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Brought a lot of goods? ”

Zhao Zhen nodded with a bright smile.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be unhappy.

After Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng invaded Dali, they reported to the imperial court almost every day.

The imperial court has already received six sums of money sent back by Chong Shiheng.

One of the biggest sums is the one million yuan that Shiheng sent to send back the Dali envoy one step after another.

Now the Dali envoy has sent money to the door again, and then the court will use this to extort Dali.

The imperial court took advantage of a simple war and gained a few strokes, and Zhao Zhen was naturally happy.

Facing Kou Ji's question, Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "The people of Honglu Temple have roughly counted three boxes of jewelry and jade, one box of gold, two boxes of silver, six boxes of copper ingots, and a number of other treasures, which are roughly estimated to be worth one million yuan. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Then we have to let Dali give another two million yuan, and the official family can forgive them." ”

"Is a million lives worth a million?"

Lu Yijian groped for his beard, groaned, looked up at Kou Ji and said, "Is it too little?" ”

Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai nodded together, agreeing with Lu Yijian's statement.

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched.

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty did not know that Dali was very rich before.

So every time Dali sent something over, they thought that Dali had offered a generous gift.

He also gave a thicker gift to Dali.

Now I know that Dali has money, and under the pressure of the Great Song Dynasty, I gave the money so happily.

The appetite of Lu Yijian and the others also increased.

In their eyes, Dali has not been forced to be urgent, and it has the value of continuing to squeeze.

If Dali is not in a hurry, they can keep squeezing.

Kou Ji coughed lightly, "Four million guan should be the limit that Duan Suzhen, the king of Dali County, can come up with, and if he adds it, I'm afraid he will raise troops." Although Dali is very rich, the money is not all in Duan Suzhen's hands.

It's like our Great Song Dynasty, and there is a lot of money.

But the money in the royal hand will always be a minority. ”

Lu Yijian frowned and said, "What about next time?" The next time the king of Dali can't come up with the money, we ask him what he wants? Mowing the land? ”

Kou Ji nodded, "Naturally...... We have now occupied the four parts of Jianchang Mansion, and if war breaks out again, we will occupy the capital city of Jianchang Mansion. At that time, half of the territory of Jianchang Mansion will belong to my Great Song Dynasty, and the remaining half will also be cut off from Dali.

When the time comes, we ask Duan Suzhen to build Chang Mansion, and he will definitely agree. ”

Wang Zeng stroked his beard and said, "Once my Great Song soldiers and horses occupy the capital city of Jianchang Mansion. The remaining Dali land in Jianchang Mansion is sandwiched between my Great Songchuan Mansion and Dali Jianchang Mansion City.

If the king of Dali wants to control those places, he must pass through our places.

We won't give way, and he can't control those places.

He definitely won't talk to me about Song Xingbing for that little place.

Therefore, when the Great Song Dynasty proposed to cede the entire Jianchang Mansion, he would definitely agree. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, "After taking Jianchang Mansion and digesting Jianchang Mansion, after our soldiers and horses have completely gained a firm foothold, we can repeat our old tricks and continue to cut meat from Dali."

If you use the same method to take down another mansion, it should be to the limit of Dali.

When the third mansion is moved, Dali will inevitably face our swordsmen.

At that time, it will be the time for us to use heavy troops to break through Dali in one fell swoop.

With the help of the naturalized Dali people in Jianchang Mansion, after we take Dali, we will be able to implement the strategy of Dali people governing Dali.

In Dali, wealthy families such as the Yang family and the Gao family can also be retained.

As long as they offer us a certain amount of money. ”

Wang Zeng looked at Kou Ji suspiciously, "Aren't you afraid that those wealthy families will sit big?" ”

Kou Ji asked rhetorically: "They don't sit big, how can we clean them up?" ”

Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji stunned.

Kou Ji said frankly: "We left them in order to take Dali and pacify Dali at the lowest cost." Leaving them is to set an example for other wealthy clans in Dali, and let other wealthy clans know that my Great Song Dynasty just wants to include Dali in the territory, not to get rid of them.

As long as they are given enough kindness, they will definitely help me in the Great Song Dynasty and quell some of the resistance forces in Dali.

After my Da Song has thoroughly digested Dali, I will naturally be clear about them. ”

Wang Zeng asked: "There are quite a lot of barbarians in Dali. What will happen to those barbarians then? ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "The Wu Barbarians have different temperaments and habits from us, and if we leave them alone, they are prone to conflict with the people who migrated to the Great Song Dynasty."

Therefore, we can give them money, give them food, and let them help me to go to war in the Great Song Dynasty.

There are many combative people among them, and as long as they do a little tricking, they will follow our thoughts and help us to fight in the north and south. ”

Kou Ji said a few words, and he had already arranged Dali's future properly.

He took into account almost all the problems that could occur in Dali, and also thought of strategies to deal with all the problems.

Now, it is only necessary to follow Kou Ji's plan step by step.

Zhao Zhen listened to Kou Ji's words in silence and looked at Lu Yijian and the others.

"What do the three Aiqing think of what the fourth brother said?"

Lu Yijian and the three of them glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison.

Obviously, they have no objection to Koji's strategy.

Nor could they say anything else.

Because so far, almost all of the foreign wars of the Great Song Dynasty are led by Kou Ji.

The few battles led by Koji basically achieved significant results.

Therefore, some of the strategies made by Kou Ji in military affairs, they are still convinced.

Besides, even if they disagree, it's useless to say it.

At present, the soldiers of the forbidden army are fighting in Dali.

The forbidden army is under the control of the Privy Council, and other yamen are not qualified to interfere in the military affairs of the forbidden army.

As a privy envoy, Kou Ji's strategy can be implemented to the end as long as Zhao Zhen does not object.

Even if others oppose it, it is useless.

Zhao Zhen saw that Lu Yijian and the three of them had no objections, so he nodded slowly and said, "Since the three Aiqing have no objections, then do what the fourth brother said." I will summon the Dali envoy when I turn around, and the fourth brother and the three Aiqing will accompany me on the side. ”

"......"
