After several months of fighting, Yangguan was finally breached, and Xiao Pidi was naturally excited.

The most important thing is that if Yangguan is breached, the war in the entire Hexi will undergo earth-shaking changes.

He could use this to join forces with the Qingtang soldiers and attack the Song army together.

In addition, he can also take advantage of the fact that Yangguan was breached to invite the Black Khan King Yusufu back.

He can ask the Black Khan King Yu Sufu to recruit a large army again, and enter the territory of the Song State to attack the city and plunder the land.

After all, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu was in Hexi, and it can be said that he suffered heavy losses.

Now that Yangguan has been breached, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu has the opportunity to enter the territory of the Song State and make up for the losses by attacking cities and plundering land in the Song Kingdom, and he has no reason not to be tempted.

Just when Xiao Pi was thinking about the Black Khan King Yu Sufu.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu had already taken a step ahead of him and entered a large urn.

Laying down the urn were Gargamel and the Black Khan Princess.

The name of the large urn is called Turtle.

After the Black Khan King Yu Sufu led his soldiers and horses to withdraw from Shazhou.

Stayed in Illinois for half a month.

On the one hand, he cleaned up the soldiers infected with the plague in the army, and on the other hand, he straightened out the soldiers and horses, and it took half a month to clean up the people who were infected with the plague in the army.

Although he was furious when he learned that his princess had an affair with a boy who didn't know the people.

But he wasn't carried away by the rage.

He knew that the plague was a hoodoo and could not be brought back to the Black Khanate, otherwise the entire Black Khanate would be destroyed in his hands.

So he suppressed the anger in his heart and specially stayed in Yizhou for half a month to find a way to cut one by one and eliminate the plague.

Then he led the soldiers and horses to the country of the Black Khan.

rushed all the way to Qiuzi.

Without thinking much about it, he plunged headlong into Qiuzi City.

Unexpectedly, Gargamel planned to eradicate him, the King of the Black Khan, in order to completely control the Black Khanate.

Therefore, an ambush was laid in the city of Qiuzi.

As soon as he entered Qiuci, the ambush soldiers who were ambushed in Qiuci City instantly appeared and surrounded them, and then did not fight them in close combat, but closed the gate of Qiuci City, and poured the entire Qiuci City with a large amount of fierce fire oil.

Gargamel stood at the head of the city, holding the princess of the Black Khan King Yusufu in his arms, and personally threw down the torch and set the whole Kuzi on fire.

The Black Khan King Yusufu and his soldiers and horses wailed in Qiuci City for seven days and seven nights, and finally turned into ashes together with Qiuci City.

Since then, the Black Khanate has become Gargamel's personal belonging.

Gargamel turned the clouds in the Black Khanate, killing Xiao Pidi's best ally, and Xiao Pidi didn't know it.

After Xiao Pidi learned that Yangguan might have been breached, he ordered the Liao soldiers to attack the city with all their strength to help the Qingtang soldiers.

However, the firepower of the Song soldiers was too fierce, and even if Xiao Pidi ordered the Liao soldiers to attack the city with all their might, they were also crushed to death.

In the end, the shadow of Qingtang soldiers appeared on the head of Yang Guandong City.

Xiao Pidi ordered the Liao soldiers to stop the siege.

After occupying Yangguan, the Qingtang soldiers immediately erected two big flags.

Xiao Pidi looked at the unique Qingtang banner and laughed.

Yuanshan and Krui appeared together on the west city of Yangguan, preparing to invite Xiao to enter the city together according to the design.

But before they could invite, Xiao Pidi took the initiative to enter the city.

Wonshan and Cruy pushed the boat down the river, opened the door to Yangguan, and went to meet Xiao Pi's rival.

The two led a small army out of the city.

After leaving the city, I saw that Xiao Pidi had already led the Liao soldiers to appear next to the suspension bridge in front of the Yangguan Gate.

"General Xiao......"

"General Xiao......"

The two of them saw Xiao Bi and took the initiative to salute.

Xiao Pidi hammered his chest with one hand, returned the salute, and asked, "Haven't asked for advice yet?" ”

"Wonsan!"

"Kruid!"

“……”

After Xiao Pidi learned the names of the two, he praised: "It turned out to be General Yuanshan, the leader of the Yuanshan Division, and General Cruid, the big leader of the Akruy Division."

No wonder it broke the yang barrier.

I have heard the names of the two in Liao.

The soldiers and horses under the command of the two are very brave and good at fighting. ”

Yuan Shan said with a smile: "General Xiao is polite, we also took the opportunity to pick up a bargain, not to mention bravery." ”

Xiao Pidi shook his head and said, "General Yuanshan is humble. The name of the Yuanshan Iron Cavalry, the power of the Western Regions. This time Yangguan can be broken, and Yuanshan Tieqi must have made a lot of efforts. ”

Yuan Shan didn't greet Xiao again, but said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk, General An fought against Song General Di Qing before, suffered some flesh injuries, and is now recuperating, so I sent the two of us to welcome you into the customs and discuss important matters together."

The general of my family has ordered people to prepare food and wine to entertain General Xiao. ”

Xiao Pidi was stunned for a moment, and said with emotion: "Di Qing is indeed brave. I had almost lost my life at the hands of Di Qing before. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Pidi asked, "Where is Di Qing now?" ”

Yuanshan said a little arrogantly: "I was captured by my Yuanshan Iron Cavalry, and now I am imprisoned in the place where General An is staying." ”

Xiao was overjoyed, "Then what are you waiting for, take me into the city quickly." ”

When Xiao Pidi knew that Di Qing was still alive, he showed joy.

And not because he had the opportunity to slay the enemy himself.

Instead, he took a fancy to Di Qing, and planned to help Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu recruit Di Qing.

Di Qing sat in Yangguan for several months and fought against Xiao Pi many times.

Xiao Pidi knew Di Qing's ability very well.

Such a person, if it can be used by Da Liao, then Da Liao will have one more general.

In the future, if Di Qing shows his talents, he may be able to fight for the position of the privy envoy of Da Liao.

Seeing that Xiao Pi was so impatient, Yuan Shan and Krui looked at each other with a smile and invited Xiao Bi into the city.

After entering the city.

Xiao Pidi smelled the strong smell of gunpowder and saw a ruined wall.

Xiao Pidi was slightly stunned.

Wonsan explained with a smile, "This was the same scene when we entered the city. I ordered my subordinates to scratch their tongues and asked.

The firearms of the Song Kingdom were hoarded here.

Firearms are afraid of sparks.

Some soldiers of the Song Kingdom accidentally left the fire fold here, causing a fire.

Under the fire, all the firearms exploded, and the contents of the pass were blown apart.

The houses in the city were destroyed, and I don't know how many people were buried in them.

The reason why we were able to break through Yangguan so smoothly is also due to the explosion of firearms. ”

Xiao Pidi looked at the large piece of ruins formed after the explosion, and couldn't help but say: "Firearms are a good thing, but they are not easy to store."

If you're not careful, you'll hurt yourself first. ”

Motoyama nodded approvingly.

Xiao Pidi rode his horse forward, looked at the ruins, and then asked Yuanshan in a casual tone, "How many firearms have been seized in Qingtang this time?" ”

Yuan Shan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "There are probably more than 30,000 muskets and hundreds of cannons......"

Xiao Pidi asked casually: "I didn't see any of your soldiers and horses holding firearms, where did you store them?" ”

"Yangguan Guancheng Yamen, that is, where General An stays!"

Yuan Shan knew what Xiao Pidi meant by asking this, so without the slightest hesitation, he gave the answer.

For example, there is no one in the kingdoms of today, except for the Song Kingdom, who does not care about firearms.

The power of firearms on the battlefield, as well as their role on the battlefield, is obvious to all.

As long as the person who leads the army, he knows the power of firearms and the impact of firearms on the war.

This time, Black Khan, Liao State, and Qingtang attacked the Song Dynasty, purely to occupy the numerical advantage, and the Song State had to defend the city.

If there was no numerical advantage, then it would be impossible for them to force the Song State to take control of the city.

Song Guo could rely on the power of firearms to suppress and beat them.

Not only that, once the firearms of the Song State launched an offensive, they had little room to fight back except for being beaten.

It is precisely because of this that all states outside the Great Song Dynasty attach great importance to firearms.

They all want to get their hands on firearms and the forging methods of firearms.

It's just that Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen are very tightly controlled by firearms, so the countries outside the Great Song Dynasty can only be greedy.

Now the pass has been broken and a large number of firearms have been seized.

Naturally, you have to plan better.

After Xiao Pidi learned that the firearms were stored in the Yamen of the General Guarding the Pass, he subconsciously urged the war horse under his crotch and quickly ran towards the Yamen of the General Guarding the Pass.

Duration.

Xiao Pi was not suspicious of Wonsan and Kruid.

Because he didn't think that Wonsan and Krui would take refuge in Song Guo and then help Song Guo deal with him together.

The two of them are the people of two forces, and when Kakura sends them, they are random.

So the chance of two people having problems together is almost none.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Pi is not too wary of the two.

Xiao Pidi led the soldiers and horses all the way to the Yamen of the general guarding the pass, and before entering the Yamen of the general guarding the pass, Xiao Pidi felt that something was wrong.

From the time he entered the Guancheng City to the Yamen, the general guarding the Guan, he didn't seem to see many corpses of the Song army.

Could it be that it was cleared by the Qingtang soldiers?

Isn't the efficiency of Qingtang Bing's work a little too fast?

With doubts, Xiao Pidi entered the Yamen of the general guarding the pass.

As soon as I entered the yamen, I looked from afar and saw a person sitting in the lobby of the main hall of the yamen.

Since the time was already in the evening, the sky was a little dark, so Xiao Pidi couldn't see who it was.

After Xiao Pidi walked in, after seeing the figure sitting in the lobby, his face changed greatly.

Xiao Pi subconsciously drew the long knife on his waist.

It's just that Wonsan and Kruid grabbed him by the arms before him, and held him down.

The soldiers who followed behind Wonsan and Krui decisively drew their swords and wiped the necks of Xiao Pi's guards.

Xiao Pidi was pressed to the ground and asked in disbelief, "How come?" How so? ”

"Hahaha......"

Laughter came from the main hall of the yamen.

Di Qing smiled and walked out of the main hall of the yamen, staring at Xiao Pidi, and said, "General Xiao, don't come to harm?" ”

Xiao Pidi glared and asked loudly, "Why?" Why is this happening? ”

Di Qing stared at Xiao Pidi and smiled: "When An Ziluo escaped, it should be the same as you thought." ”

Xiao Pidi's pupils shrank, and he looked at Krui and Wonshan with difficulty.

"You betrayed Qingtang together?! How many of you have betrayed Qingtang? ”

Xiao Pidi was shocked and angry in his heart, but he did not lose his mind.

When Jiaoguo Luo sent people to attack Yangguan, they must have been randomly selected.

Then the chances of all the people he picks are traitors are slim to none.

Now the two people he picked out to attack Yangguan are all traitors, which means that there are far more than two traitors around Jiaoguoluo.

Otherwise, no matter how much he chooses, it is impossible for Kakuro to choose two traitors very skillfully.

If there are more than half of the traitors around Kakura.

The battle of Najiaoluo's attack on the west of the Great Song River this time can be declared over.

Half of the traitors rebelled against the water together, and the horned Luo would be directly killed.

Not only will Jiaoluo die, but Qingtang may also fall into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, or be divided by those traitors.

Di Qing stared at Xiao Pi who was lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "They are not betrayals, they are abandoning the darkness and turning to the light." Because Jiao Guluo is against my Great Song Dynasty, he is destined to be wiped out.

And you Liaoguo, the fate is the same. ”

When Xiao Pidi heard this, he said with a hideous face: "You think beautifully, half of the troops of your Song Kingdom are contained by me, and His Majesty the Emperor of Great Liao led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack south, what do you do in the Great Song Dynasty?"

The Song Kingdom will eventually become the horse ranch of my Great Liao.

You people will eventually become prisoners of my Great Liao. ”

Di Qing sighed and said, "As far as I know, the one sent by my Great Song Dynasty to deal with the Liao Emperor this time is my master Cao Wei. Do you think that with my master sitting on the border, the Liao Emperor can invade the south? ”

Xiao Pidi gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Wei is not far from death." ”

Di Qing smiled sarcastically: "Isn't Emperor Liao the same? ”

Xiao Pidi glared at Di Qing fiercely, "If you become a king or lose a villain, if you want to kill, you have to listen to your respect." ”

Di Qing stood there, speechless, as if listening to something.

Xiao Pidi didn't care at first, but after a long time, he seemed to remember something, and his face changed greatly, "Let them go!" They can surrender! ”

"Whew!"

Di Qing exhaled a breath of turbidity and said indifferently: "It's late......"

"Bang ......"

"Puff puff ......"

"Ah......h

“……”

Gunshots, crossbows, and screams rang out together.

In an instant, it resounded inside and outside Yangguan.

Xiao Pidi stared at Di Qing and roared angrily, "Even if you leave them as slaves!" Why kill them all! ”

Di Qing said lightly: "I have captured more than 600,000 captives from the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, which is enough, and we can't afford to raise any more." ”

Xiao Pidi asked angrily: "You are so rich in the Great Song Dynasty, how can you not afford it?!" ”

Di Qing stared at Xiao Pidi coldly and said: "The reason why my Great Song Dynasty is rich is because the people of my Great Song Dynasty are diligent, and the food that my Great Song people grow diligently, why should I raise a group of robbers." ”

Xiao gritted his teeth in anger.

Tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, tens of thousands of Liao soldiers who he cultivated single-handedly, were slaughtered because he was negligent for a while.

The remorse, self-blame, and despair in his heart filled Xiao Bi's chest.

Blood was running down the corners of his mouth, and he was literally crushing his teeth.

Di Qing was very satisfied with Xiao Pidi's expression, and he instructed his relatives beside him: "Take him down, so that he can be detained." ”

He stepped forward in person, took Xiao Pidi from Yuanshan and Kruid, and escorted Xiao Pidi to the dungeon behind the Yamen of the general guarding the pass.

After Di Qing was taken down by Xiao Pidi, Yuanshan and Krui went out of the Yamen of the general guarding the pass.

Outside the yamen, a street leading to the west gate of Yangguan was dyed red.

More than 80,000 defenders of Yangguan, plus 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Yuanshan Department, plus 40,000 soldiers and horses of Kruid, a total of nearly 170,000 soldiers and horses together to attack tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Liao State, and it was almost a one-sided slaughter.

Under the cross-attack of muskets and crossbows, the Liao soldiers had no room for resistance at all.

After the battle, Di Qing instructed the lieutenant general to take people to clean up the battlefield.

He took Motoyama and Cruy to the backyard of the Yamen.

In the backyard.

Li Di and Chen Yaozhi sat opposite each other like two idlers who had nothing to do.

After Di Qing arrived with Yuanshan and Krui, the two slowly got up.

Di Qing clasped his fists and saluted the two, "Gong Li, General Chen, the battle in Yangguan has been understood. ”

Wonsan and Krui followed Di Qing to salute Li Di and Chen Yao.

Li Di and Chen Yaoshi returned the salute.

Li Di said with a smile: "The battle in Yangguan can be resolved so quickly this time, and the leader of Yuanshan and the head of Kruid are full-screened. The old man will go back to the secretary's house and ask for credit for the two of you. ”

Yuan Shan said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Governor Li praised Miao." ”

Cruy was a little pleased, and said in the same way as Yuanshan: "Governor Li Miao. ”

Li Di raised his eyebrows, nodded to Kruyi in response, and then looked at Yuan Shan and sighed: "The old man thinks that you are like a Song person, and you are also a scholar." ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Cruid, Di Qing, and Chen Yaozhi all looked at Yuanshan.

Yuan Shan smiled indifferently, "When I was young, I went to the Great Song Dynasty with the elders in my family, learned the knowledge of the Great Song Dynasty, and also learned a little bit of the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Di Qing and Chen Yaozhi heard Yuanshan's words, so they no longer paid attention to this matter.

Li Di smiled and nodded: "You learned in Shaanxi Mansion, right?" The language has a little bit of Shaanxi's unique local pronunciation, if you are interested, you can ask a gentleman to help you correct the pronunciation. ”

Yuan Shan saluted again, "Thank you, Governor Li." ”

Li Di shook his head and smiled: "The old man thanks you, if you hadn't sent soldiers and horses to Shazhou to help at a critical time, I'm afraid that tens of thousands of people in Shazhou would have been buried at the hands of the Black Khan King."

You live the lives of tens of thousands of people in Shazhou, and the old man, as the governor of Hexi Prefecture, should thank you. ”

Yuan Shan said with a smile: "I rushed to help Shazhou, also for the sake of interests. The Kou privy secretary who should have been given has already been given, so Governor Li doesn't need to thank him again. ”

Li Di shook his head and said, "He is him, and the old man is the old man." As the prefect of Hexi Prefecture and the lord of Hexi, the old man can still do some.

In the future, if you go to the territory of Hexi Province to do business, the old man can reduce half of his taxes. ”

Yuan Shan was stunned for a moment, and decisively saluted: "Thank you Governor Li for your generosity." ”

Cruy heard Li Di's words and looked at Li Di with some burning eyes.

Today, the most prosperous trading cities in the Western Regions are all in Hexi.

The people of the Western Regions are almost inseparable from Hexi to do business.

It's just that the black-hearted Li Di set a very high tax, and all outsiders who come to Hexi to trade will be stripped of a layer of skin by Li Di when they enter Hexi.

Li Di reduced half of the taxes of the Yuanshan Ministry, and almost treated the people of the Yuanshan Ministry, as Song people.

Cruy, of course, wanted it too.

It's just that he doesn't know how to speak.

Because it was Li Di who took the initiative to reduce and reduce taxes for Yuanshan, not Yuanshan.

Li Di felt the Kruid's gaze, and smiled at the Kruid: "The head of the Kruid, the old man can't reduce the taxes for the people of the Akruid Ministry.

Your reward will have to wait for the judgment of the officials and the Privy Council.

The reason why the old man dared to reward the leader of Yuanshan on behalf of him was because the leader of Yuanshan had helped me in Hexi in private.

Although Kou Shumi has already rewarded him, the old man has to repay his kindness to the people of Hexi. ”

Cruy heard Li Di's words and sighed in his heart.

No more insistence.

Because it's useless to force it.

The tariffs in Hexi were set by Li Di, and Li Di had the final say on whether to add or subtract them.

The imperial court generally does not care about this matter.

Because the court knew that Li Di was not Zhou Peel, he would not press people to the ground to pluck skin cramps, knock bones and suck marrow.

When Li Di sets the tariffs, he will definitely take a reasonable measure.

It will neither crush the people of the Western Regions to death at once, nor will it let them go easily.

Li Di is not a corrupt official either, and the wealth he made was either subsidized by some wounded soldiers, orphans and widows in Hexi, or Mengxue, or sent to Bianjing City together as a New Year's harvest.

Li Dimou's wealth was benefited by the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial court, and the people.

Therefore, Li Di's accumulation of wealth can be said to be collecting wealth for the country.

With such a move that benefits the country and the people, it is too late for the court to support it, so how can it intervene.

Therefore, Li Di has the final say on the tariffs in Hexi.

Li Di didn't speak, and it was useless for Cruyi to force it.

Even if he found His Majesty the Great Song Emperor to reason, His Majesty the Great Song Emperor would not look at him.

Li Di finished chatting with Wonsan and Cruy about private matters.

Di Qing invited the three of them to sit down and chatted about business.

After they sat down, Di Qing said solemnly: "Now that the war in Yangguan has ended, there are no enemies inside and outside Yangguan. We should reorganize our troops and horses and gallop to the aid of Yumen Pass. ”

Li Di and Chen Yaozhi nodded slowly.

Wonsan did not speak.

The same is true of Cruid.

Seeing this, Di Qing continued: "I mean, General Chen and Li Gong led the soldiers of the Yongxing Army to continue to sit in Yangguan, and I led the Yongzitou Forbidden Army of Yongzhou to Yumen Pass, and the leader of Yuanshan, the Krui Chief, each led their own soldiers and horses to accompany them. ”

Wonsan and Kruj don't have much of an opinion.

Chen Yaozhi was a little unhappy, his purpose in joining the army was to fight.

Since he joined the army, he has not fought a few battles.

Now there is a war, but he can't participate, and he is naturally not happy.

It's just that before he could open his mouth, he heard Li Di say with a smile: "It's so good, with General Chen here, not only can he sit in Yangguan, but also help the old man and the people." ”

Chen Yaozhi glared at Li Di.

Li Di seemed to be trying to keep him, but in fact, he was blocking his words and preventing him from saying anything to fight.

Without waiting for Chen Yaoshi to speak again, Di Qing said happily: "Then it's decided." I will order the soldiers and horses to rest and set off for Yumen Pass tomorrow.

After the battle at Yumen Pass, we may be able to go to Liao and eat some leftover soup. ”

As soon as the words landed, Di Qing stood up and left with Yuanshan and Kruid in a hurry.

Chen Yaozhi was left sitting in place, his mouth open, not knowing what to say.
