It was not difficult to defeat the 1,500-strong Dali soldiers and horses head-on.

However, if we want to annihilate all the 1,500 Dali soldiers and horses, and not a single one is left alive, we need a certain number of troops and some careful deployment.

The above two points are not something that ordinary bandits and rogues can do.

It is impossible for bandits and rogues who can do it to entrench themselves in Dali.

Even if it is entrenched in Dali, it is impossible to be nameless.

On the various hills of Dali, there are some small tribes entrenched.

The bandits and rogues have no soil for survival at all, so there are no large-scale bandits and bandits in Dali.

There are a lot of small thieves, but even if they gather together, it is difficult to pose a threat to Dali's regular soldiers and horses.

"Is it really possible that you guys are behind it?!"

Chong Shiheng stared at Yang Yunxian and said coldly.

Yang Yunxian wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and defended: "My king will never dare to offend His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Chong Shiheng said coldly: "Whether you are offended or not, you know it in your own hearts. ”

"What else do you want to tell him, they must be behind the scenes, and we should send troops to fight now."

Zhu Neng rubbed his hands and said.

Yang Yunxian gritted his teeth and said: "This matter is definitely not the work of my king, if your country invades my Dali again because of this, my Dali will definitely fight back." ”

When Zhu Neng heard this, he was annoyed, "You can try!" ”

Chong Shiheng raised his hand to stop Zhu Neng from getting angry, "At the moment, we don't have evidence to prove that this matter was done by Dali soldiers and horses, so we can't act rashly and destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries." ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Neng snorted and didn't speak again.

Chong Shiheng looked at Yang Yunxian and said coldly: "I'll give you time to find out about this matter." If this matter hadn't been done by your Dali soldiers and horses, and you had sent me the money to compensate my Da Song on time, I could have pretended that it hadn't happened.

But if it is found out that this matter was done by your Dali soldiers, then you can only meet each other.

My Song official family cannot be humiliated. ”

Yang Yunxian wiped the sweat on his forehead and gave a solemn salute to Chong Shiheng.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Chong Shiheng waved his hand, "I'm also here to avoid fighting each other." ”

As soon as Chong Shiheng finished saying this, a personal soldier in front of the tent suddenly broke into the big tent of the Chinese army in a hurry.

"Enlighten the commander, there is news from the scout camp."

The soldiers in front of the tent entered the big tent of the Chinese army, knelt on one knee on the ground, and reported in a deep voice.

Chong Shiheng's face was straight, and he said, "Speak!" ”

The soldiers in front of the tent arched their hands and said: "The scouts in the scout camp caught a person who escaped from Minadin, and after interrogation, they learned that the robbery that occurred in Minadine before was committed by a Dali army of soldiers and horses. ”

Speaking of this, the soldiers in front of the tent paused and glanced at Yang Yunxian slightly.

Yang Yunxian's face turned slightly pale.

The soldiers in front of the tent continued: "The people who escaped from Minadine said that after the robbery, many corpses were left in the place where the robbery took place, including those wearing leather armor and cloth armor, without exception, all of them were Dali people. ”

Yang Yunxian's face changed again.

Chong Shiheng's face was pale, staring at Yang Yunxian and gritting his teeth, "I want to ...... The king of Dali should not send two armies of soldiers and horses to escort those goods. ”

Zhu Neng said coldly on the side: "Almost all the soldiers and horses in the capital of Dali are wearing leather armor, and only local soldiers and horses will wear cloth armor. Among the soldiers and horses sent out from the capital of Dali to escort those goods, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to wear cloth armor. ”

Chong Shiheng suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "I regarded you as a friend and chose to believe your words, but you concealed such important news. You are not only insulting my official family of the Great Song Dynasty, but also insulting me. ”

"This matter ......"

Yang Yunxian wanted to open his mouth to defend himself.

Chong Shiheng coldly thought about his words, "Now that the matter is now, there is nothing to say." If you dare to bully my Great Song official family, dare to bully me, then be prepared to bear the price of my Great Song Dynasty's anger. ”

"Zhu Neng!"

"In!"

"Order the whole army of the Tianwu Army to attack, and point the sword at the capital city of Jianchang Mansion!"

"Understood!"

“……”

Zhu Neng happily agreed and went out to dispatch troops.

After Zhu Neng left, the sword and longbow that Chong Shiheng picked up also followed out of the Chinese army's big tent.

Before leaving, he snorted coldly at Yang Yunxian and said, "Go back and tell the king of Dali that after I take the Jianchang Mansion, I will ask the court to send soldiers and horses to help Dali."

Let him wash his head and wait. ”

Yang Yunxian stared in horror, opened his mouth several times, and didn't say a word.

Chong Shiheng came out of the big tent of the Chinese army.

Zhu Neng had already gathered all the soldiers of the Tianwu Army.

In order to attack Jianchang Mansion, they prepared for a long time.

How to march, how to divide the troops, and how to break the city of Changfu have already gone through countless consultations.

Now that the official attack on Jianchang Mansion is underway, the Tianwu army does not need to think much at all, and can just act according to the plan.

"Today, Po Jianchang!"

Chong Shiheng stood on the platform, drew his long sword, and pointed at Jianchang Mansion.

The soldiers of the Tianwu Army rushed out like a tide.

Chong Shiheng suddenly sent troops, and the lord of Jianchang Mansion did not expect it at all, and he did not prepare at all.

When the Tianwu Army was about to kill the city of Jianchang Mansion, the lord of Jianchang Mansion got the news.

The lord of Jianchang Mansion hurriedly summoned the soldiers and horses inside and outside the city of Jianchang Mansion and climbed onto the head of the city to defend the city.

At the same time, he sent people to ask for help from the three largest departments in Jianchang Mansion, the Bedeng Department, and the Luolan Department.

When Chong Shiheng led the soldiers and horses to the city of Jianchang Mansion, the lord of Jianchang Mansion barely finished arranging the defense on the head of the city.

However.

Vulnerable.

Eighteen cannons fired in unison, and after the city gate building of Jianchang Mansion collapsed, the soldiers and horses on the city wall of Jianchang Mansion City were in chaos.

Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng originally thought that there was a vicious battle to be fought, but after seeing a round of shelling, after seeing the chaos on the wall of Jianchang Mansion, they immediately lost interest in Jianchang Mansion.

Before attacking the city of Jianchang Prefecture, they investigated the situation of the city of Jianchang Prefecture.

Knowing that Jianchang Mansion is famous, its strength is weak, and it is not beaten.

I just didn't expect it to be so unbeaten.

"Dali is really ......"

Chong Shiheng looked at the enemy soldiers who were in a mess, and didn't know how to evaluate them.

All the assets of Jianchang Mansion are so unbeaten, and the Tianwu Army is strong, and the proportion occupied is not large.

The largest proportion is the system of Dali.

Although Dali is divided into counties and prefectures, the largest force entrenched in the counties and prefectures is the 37 departments, and the 37 departments are not under the control of the counties and prefectures.

Almost all of the thirty-seven are autonomous.

It's a bit like the thirty-seven princes entrenched in Dali.

There are three major clans in Jianchang Mansion, occupying nearly sixty percent of the territory of Jianchang Mansion and controlling nearly sixty percent of the population in Jianchang Mansion.

The three major clans have a much greater voice in Jianchang Mansion than in Jianchang Mansion.

The lord of Jianchang Mansion only holds six small tribes that have been completely attached to the Dali court.

There is no way to compare with the three major tribes.

Of the six small tribes controlled by the lord of Jianchang Mansion, four have been conquered by Chong Shiheng, so the only forces he can mobilize are the two small tribes and some soldiers and horses in the city of Jianchang Mansion.

With such strength, naturally there is no way to compete with the Tianwu Army led by Chong Shiheng.

Not only that, the soldiers and horses in the city of Jianchang Mansion do not have much combat effectiveness.

Because they rarely participate in big wars and haven't experienced many killing fields, they only need to guard the capital city of Jianchang Mansion on weekdays.

Generally, there is a big war in Dali, and they are not needed.

The Dali court will give an order to the leaders of the 37 tribes, ordering them to lead the clan soldiers and form a large number of 37 coalition troops to defend against the enemy.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses in the capital city of Jianchang Mansion are a bit like the defenders of the city in the Great Song Dynasty, it is okay to block the bandits, but in the face of a powerful enemy army, it is difficult to resist at all.

Chong Shiheng led the soldiers and horses to the city of Jianchang Mansion, and it took a total of three hours to conquer the city of Jianchang Mansion.

Three hours later, Chong Shiheng had already entered the city of Jianchang Mansion, sat in the lobby on the mansion of the mansion lord, and began a new round of arrangement.

It is easy to break through the capital city of Jianchang Mansion, but it is difficult to say whether it can be defended.

After all, there are three large tribes in the north of Jianchang Mansion, and it is adjacent to Huichuan Mansion in the south, and Shanju County, the largest county in Dali, to the west.

Attacked on three sides, it had to be defended.

After a round of negotiations, Chong Shiheng finally sent Zhu Neng to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to the north to conquer the three major tribes north of the capital city of Jianchang Prefecture.

The general of the Tianwu Army led 10,000 soldiers and horses to the south to pacify the Qu Department and Bacui Department in Jianchang Mansion.

Chong Shiheng himself led the remaining soldiers and horses, and while sitting in the capital of Jianchang Mansion, he swept away the two places of Hunlong and Shacheng west of Jianchang Mansion by the way.

Among the three armies, the pressure of the 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhu Neng was undoubtedly the greatest.

He had to deal with the three major clans in Jianchang Mansion.

The three tribes are very strong, and the tribes are very united.

Zhu Neng had to deal with not only the soldiers of the three major tribes, but also the old and weak women and children of the three major tribes.

The old and weak women and children go into battle together, which is not uncommon in the thirty-seven parts of Dali.

The thirty-seven tribes were able to maintain their respective tribal systems under the rule of Dali because they were united enough and desperate enough.

The emperors before Dali also thought about destroying the thirty-seven departments and completely bringing all the land in Dali under the control of the Dali court.

To this end, they sent a large army to pacify the tribes.

Then I hit a hard nail.

When the army of 50,000 pacifying the tribes left the capital of Dali and attacked a small tribe with only 6,000 people, he was frightened by the desperate fighting style of the old and the young together.

Of the 6,000 people of the small tribe, none survived after the war.

However, the 50,000 troops sent by the Dali court to pacify the tribes also suffered heavy losses.

After the other tribes were wiped out, they gathered together to put pressure on the Dali Emperor.

The Dali Emperor was forced to give up the idea of exterminating the tribes.

And no one ever mentions it again.

It can be seen that if the people of the three major tribes work hard with Zhu Neng together, Zhu Neng may not be able to please him.

In order to prevent Zhu Neng from encountering a strong enemy who would not die, before attacking Jianchang Mansion, Chong Shiheng specially sent a letter to the imperial court, requesting the imperial court to dispatch Jiading Mansion, Sichuan Mansion, and all local soldiers and horses in the two prefectures to gather in Lizhou Hanyuan on Chuanfu Road.

Lizhou Hanyuan is close to Dali's False Hate Department, and can rush to Zhu Neng's aid at any time, and cooperate with Zhu Neng to attack the three major tribes in Jianchang Mansion on both sides.

When Zhu Neng led his troops to leave the city of Jianchang Mansion, the local soldiers and horses of Sichuan Mansion and Jiading Mansion had already rushed to Hanyuan in Lizhou.

This was followed by a fierce battle that lasted for nearly ten days.

Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng must completely take down the entire Jianchang Mansion before Dali reacts.

In the fierce battle that lasted for nearly ten days, Zhu Neng really encountered some small troubles.

It was not the three major tribes in Jianchang Mansion that caused trouble for Zhu Neng, but a Baosai tribe attached to the Luolan Clan.

A small tribe of 3,000 people, taking advantage of the terrain, fought fiercely with the soldiers and horses led by Zhu Neng for three days.

Zhu Neng finally took advantage of firearms to annihilate them.

After that battle, the Baosai troops went up and down, and no one survived.

It wasn't that Zhu Neng killed them, but none of them surrendered.

Zhu Neng conquered the Baosai Department, and they were all dead.

……

On the third day when the capital city of Jianchang Mansion was breached, the news had already reached the ears of Duan Suzhen, the king of Dali County.

After Duan Suzhen learned of this, he sent Gao Zhisheng to dispatch 37 troops and horses to Huichuan to lower the Song army, and on the other hand, he sent Yang Yunxian to the capital of Jianchang Mansion to negotiate with Chong Shiheng.

Gao Zhisheng gathered nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses and rushed to Huichuan Mansion.

Yang Yunxian has already negotiated with Chong Shiheng, and at the same time, Chong Shiheng has also taken the entire Jianchang Mansion.

The result of Yang Yunxian's negotiation with Chong Shiheng was simple.

Dali must send envoys to Bianjing City again to plead guilty to Zhao Zhen.

Duan Suzhen, the king of Dali County, was unwilling to start a big war with the Great Song Dynasty, so he instructed Gao Zhisheng not to act without authorization, and on the other hand, he sent Yang Yunxian to Bianjing City again.

When Yang Yunxian rushed to Bianjing City.

Kou Ji had already received the results of the battle in Jianchang Mansion.

Inside the Shikudo.

Kou Ji held the report sent by Chong Shiheng in his hand, and said nonchalantly: "Chong Shiheng actually sent troops to take down the three major clans in Jianchang Mansion. This is a bit different from my initial strategy. ”

Kou Ji's initial battle strategy was to wait for Dali to send someone to negotiate after taking Jianchang Mansion.

But now before Dali sent someone to negotiate, he took the first step to conquer the three major tribes.

Lu Yijian heard Kou Ji's words, glanced at Kou Ji, and didn't want to deal with him.

Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji and said, "If there is no permission from you, Zhu Neng and Chong Shiheng dare to mess around?" ”

Kou Ji said sincerely: "I have never been in favor of this matter from beginning to end. ”

Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji again, and was about to speak.

But I heard Zhao Zhen say lightly: "This matter is approved by my grace." ”

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Zhao Zhen in disbelief.

Zhao Zhen crossed Kou Ji and directly issued a military order to Chong Shiheng?

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen added: "I discussed this matter with the fourth brother before Enzhun agreed. Although the fourth brother did not approve of this matter, he did not oppose it either. ”

After Zhao Zhen's voice landed, Kou Ji spoke: "Attacking the three major clans in Jianchang Mansion will inevitably cause some damage. I don't approve of this, I want to reduce the damage.

However, the official family felt that since they had taken the capital city of Jianchang Mansion, they would simply clean up the three major tribes together.

Keep the three major tribes, and they will definitely make trouble behind our backs when we negotiate with Dali.

Chong Shiheng and Zhu Neng are enemies on their backs, and it is easy to have accidents.

So stifle this dangerous sprout in the cradle in advance. ”

After Kou Ji's explanation, Lu Yijian and the three of them also understood the reason.

Immediately, Lu Yijian and the three of them spoke up and praised Zhao Zhen.

"Official Shengming ......"

"Official Shengming ......"

“……”

In fact, whether or not to fight the three major tribes is just a trivial matter.

Kou Ji also said casually that Lu Yijian and the three of them could actually discuss this matter as a major matter, and Kou Ji didn't know what to say.

After Lu Yijian and the others praised Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji slowly spoke, "The Dali envoy should soon rush to Bianjing City to negotiate with us about the Jianchang Mansion."

Whether Jianchang Mansion can be included in the territory of our Great Song Dynasty depends on the outcome of this negotiation. ”

Wang Zeng said solemnly: "Naturally, we will not let go, I am afraid that the king of Dali will not agree to this matter, and we will send troops to fight with my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The king of Dali doesn't have the courage yet. ”

Lu Yijian asked, "If he really has that guts?" ”

Kou Ji said coldly: "Then it is necessary for my Great Song Dynasty to send another 50,000 forbidden troops over to let them know what the Heavenly Empire is." ”

"100,000 forbidden troops, can you take the whole of Dali?"

Wang Zeng questioned.

Kou Ji said: "More than enough." ”

Wang Zeng nodded slowly and said no more.

As long as Kou Ji can guarantee that 100,000 soldiers and horses can take Dali.

He was afraid that 100,000 soldiers and horses would not be able to take Dali, but instead planted a heel in Dali.

When Zhao Guangyi attacked Jiaozhi, it was like this.

Hou Renbao, the then governor of Yongzhou Taichang, heard about the civil strife in Jiaozhi and asked Zhao Guangyi to take the opportunity to pacify Jiaozhi, Zhao Guangyi listened to Hou Renbao's words, sent Hou Renbao as the commander, and led an army of 100,000 to attack Jiaozhi.

In the end, it was a big heel.

Hou Renbao was beheaded, and half of the 100,000 troops were buried in Jiaozhi.

With this precedent, it is natural for Wang Zeng to ask clearly.

"Since I, Da Song, don't need to worry about Dali going toe-for-tat with us, then we don't need to make any concessions when facing Dali's envoys."

Lu Yijian looked around at the crowd.

Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai nodded approvingly.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "This matter will be handed over to Zhang Aiqing and the people of Honglu Temple to negotiate together." ”

It was a matter of territory, so an important minister had to be sent in.

After Zhang Zhibai heard Zhao Zhen's words, he agreed.

After agreeing on this.

A few people didn't pay any attention to the matter.

After some days, Dali's envoys arrived in Bianjing.

Zhang Zhibai took the people of Honglu Temple and negotiated with Yang Yunxian, the envoy of Dali, for ten days.

The Great Song Dynasty insisted that Dali cede Jianchang Mansion, and Dali was willing to compensate more money than to cede Jianchang Mansion.

The two sides have been arguing for several days.

In the end, Yang Yunxian, the envoy of Dali, was defeated.

Zhang Zhibai knew that the Great Song Dynasty had the strength to conquer Dali in one fell swoop, so he had no fear and did not give an inch.

Yang Yunxian can't be as fearless and unyielding as Zhang Zhibai.

Chong Shiheng led 50,000 soldiers in Jianchang Mansion, and could launch an attack on Dali's Huichuan Mansion, Dongchuan Mansion, and Shanju County at any time.

Dali up and down for restlessness.

Dali did not have the courage to teach the Great Song Dynasty.

In order to settle the matter as soon as possible, Yang Yunxian could only make concessions.

Yang Yunxian finally agreed to report the matter to Duan Suzhen, the king of Dali County, and Duan Suzhen, the king of Dali County, made a decision.

Yang Yunxian did not return to Dali to clarify the matter.

Instead, he sent someone back to tell Duan Suzhen, the king of Dali County, about the matter.

After Duan Suzhen, the king of Dali County, learned that the Great Song Dynasty asked Dali to cede the Jianchang Mansion, he ran to the temple and consulted a few elders who had abdicated as monks.

In the end, he agreed to the conditions of the Great Song Dynasty and ceded the Jianchang Mansion to the Great Song Dynasty in order to quell the conflict between the two countries.

Zhao Zhen sent Zhang Zhibai to Jianchang Mansion and signed a letter of state with the people of the Duan royal family sent by Duan Suzhen, the king of Dali County.

Since then.

Jianchang Mansion returned to the Song Dynasty, and the war in Dali came to an end for the time being.

After Jianchang Mansion returned to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen immediately sent a report to the palace and publicized the matter to all the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty knew after seeing the imperial court's mansion report that the imperial court had unknowingly taken the Jianchang Mansion in Dali.

While they were rejoicing, they were faintly proud of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the midst of the joy and encouragement of the people.

Zhao Zhen welcomed his third child.

Nine months after Empress Cao was pregnant with the dragon seed, there were signs that she was going to give birth.

Three times he was carried into the delivery room and three times he was carried out again.

really abused Zhao Zhen's little heart.

Zhao Zhen felt that it was difficult for him to endure this pain alone, so he sent Chen Lin to Kou's mansion and dragged Kou Jisheng into the palace to accompany him.

Palace.

Inside Yeonfu Palace.

Inside the vast palace.

Only Kou Ji, Zhao Zhen, and Chen Lin were inside.

Zhao Zhen invited Kou Ji to play chess with him, but he just sat in front of the chessboard, pinched the chess pieces, and after playing two hands, he held the chess pieces and did not move.

Kou Ji casually put down the black chess pieces in his hand, glanced at Zhao Zhen, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Zhao Zhen suddenly fell into a daze in front of him, not once or twice.

Kou Ji also shouted two sentences at the beginning of Kou Ji to wake up Zhao Zhen.

Now, Kou Ji is too lazy to wake up Zhao Zhen anymore.

After Kou Ji sighed, he looked at the tea that had been cooled in his hand.

Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji, stepped forward and picked up Kou Ji's teacup and walked out of Yanfu Palace, and not long after, he handed a hot tea to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji took a sip of the teacup, then suddenly looked sideways at Chen Lin and asked, "Who told the official family that Empress Cao was pregnant with the prince in her belly?" ”

Chen Lin knocked on Zhao Zhen, and when he saw that Zhao Zhen was still sitting in a daze, he whispered to Kou Ji: "......What did the people of Qin Tianjian say?"

Kou Ji pouted and said, "Can you believe Qin Tianjian's words?" They first said that Zhang Xiurong was pregnant with a prince in her belly, but after she was born, she was a princess.

Later, he said that Zhang Jieyu was also pregnant with a prince in her belly.

Then another princess was born.

Now it is said that Empress Cao is pregnant with a prince in her belly......"

Before Kou Ji finished speaking, Chen Lin interrupted him and said very strongly: "What is in Empress Cao's belly must be the prince!" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin and said, "Do you think that the harem concubines can't give birth to a prince, is it possible that the people of Qin Tianjian have done something immoral and offended God."

So God always reverses their words?

If the harem concubines are pregnant with dragon seeds in the future, let them say the opposite, will it have a miraculous effect? ”

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and actually pondered Kou Ji's words.
