"Kill! Kill! Kill! The soldiers' shouts shook the sky, all of them were surging with blood and blood, their morale was high, and even their muscles were exposed, as if they could tear the enemy apart at any time.

Qu Ping mobilized the officers and men of the whole army, the troops were drawn, and they marched to Dali Mansion in a hurry to aid the Duan clan of Dali, and they must not let Da Song, a good brother who threw himself into his arms, hurt his body and heart.

Yunnan, Dali.

Duan Zhengxing arranged for the brothers to take care of government affairs, and now he has gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses, lined up outside the city gate, and put on his horses and spears in his hands, so he is not majestic. Duan Zhengxing finished the pre-war general mobilization and was preparing to ride a horse to attack.

At this time, Tanma quickly reported: "Your Highness, the prince of Yongguo led an army of 20,000 and will arrive in Dali tomorrow!" ”

Duan Zhengxing excitedly looked at his subordinate generals from afar and said, "Now there is hope for rescuing my father!" ”

Someone summoned up the courage and said weakly: "There are only 20,000 people, and even our men and horses are less than ......."

Duan Zhengxing was a little excited, and said: "Gathering less into more, and being able to get another 20,000 soldiers and horses is enough to deter the enemy." What's more, we still have the backstage of the Great Song Dynasty, and His Royal Highness doesn't believe that the Duke of Yongguo will have no backup! Everyone cheer up, don't disturb the morale of the army, otherwise military law will deal with it! ”

The generals replied, "Yes!" ”

Since Qu Ping and the Song army were about to arrive, Duan Zhengxing sent people to meet Qu Ping, camping on the spot and waiting for orders, and letting them prepare all the grain and grass first.

Qu Ping received Duan Zhengxing's news, and finally rushed to Dali near noon the next day to join Duan Zhengxing in the city.

The two armies met, Duan Zhengxing hurriedly brought his generals over, and said to Qu Ping with the courtesy of a corporal: "Lord Guogong ......"

Before he finished speaking, Qu Ping interrupted: "During the battle, please call me Marshal!" ”

"Yes, Lord Marshal, I am repenting of my mistake at the beginning, and I am here to make amends to the marshal on behalf of my father." Duan Zhengxing lowered his head and said sincerely.

Qu Pingyi said righteously: "If you want to make amends, you should make amends to the people of all ethnic groups in Yunnan!" ”

"Yes, Lord Marshal said. My father is now trapped in the territory of Taihua Mountain. Taihua Mountain is in the west of Shanxian Mansion, Dali Mansion is 800 miles away from Shanxian Mansion, Yunnan Mountain Road is numerous, rugged and difficult to travel, that is, the cavalry travels 100 miles a day, it also takes eight days, and my father is in danger! Duan Zhengxing unfolded the map and said.

Qu Ping looked at the map, isn't this Shanxian Mansion the location of Kunming! It turned out to be such an awkward name in ancient times, and I couldn't recognize these two words without the "Xinhua Dictionary".

Qu Ping said: "When I left for half a month, you already sent someone to ask for help, didn't Duan Wang Ye have a thousand miles of horses, and he arrived at Taihua Mountain so soon?" ”

Duan Zhengxing said with a smile: "All the cavalry led by my father is a cavalry, and he wants to repel the enemy army with lightning power. Unexpectedly, the enemy army was ambushed on the way. It was difficult for the cavalry to turn around on the mountain road, and it was difficult to take care of the end and end, so they were defeated and retreated to Taihua Mountain. Marshal, you must rescue your father! When Yunnan first entered the Great Song Dynasty, it was conspired against, which damaged the face of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Qu Ping thought, Duan Zhengyan is really a thousand miles away!

Qu Ping said: "You don't need to say more, I have already explained to the soldiers when I sent out the army that those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away." As long as Duan Wang Ye still has a breath of air, I will definitely go up to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire to rescue him, and I will also teach the Jiaozhi people some lessons. Let them know where to go and where not to come! ”

Duan Zhengxing almost sobbed, and said movingly: "Thank you Marshal!" Thanks to the marshal's refusal to give up, he will be determined to die in the future! ”

Qu Pingxin said, then you have to be the king of Yunnan to serve the Great Song Dynasty.

However, this battle is not easy to fight, the generals are not their own generals, the soldiers are not their own soldiers, the most basic weapons are a lot worse, if it fails, it will be discredited. But now the arrow is ready to take down the enemy, even if it is hard-headed!

On Taihua Mountain, Duan Zhengyan lost his helmet and sat on the ground, his hair scattered, thinking that if he hadn't come out in person, he would not have suffered such a humiliation in the near future. If he hadn't wanted to give Qu Ping some color to see, he would definitely not have gone out in person, and regretted not being at the beginning!

The enemy troops at the foot of the mountain launched an attack from time to time, which made the Yunnan soldiers on the mountain uneasy.

Reinforcements, are you on the way? I've been waiting for you so hard!

The spies from the front came to report: "Lord Wang, the enemy army has launched a new round of attack!" ”

Duan Zhengyan waved his hand impatiently: "Make a show, the big stone will fall down, and see how many people can come up." ”

"Yes!"

Duan Zhengyan asked the general next to him again: "How much grain and grass is left?" How's the search for water? ”

"The spring water on the mountain is enough, but the grain and grass are almost exhausted, if it weren't for the slaughter of war horses in the past few days, you would have to eat coarse grain with us." The generals reported truthfully.

"Take out the grain, everyone eats it together, and at this time, I still care what I do with coarse grains and fine grains!" Duan Zheng scolded sternly. He stood up and stroked his war horse, and said helplessly: "Horse, horse, I'm afraid that in a few days, you will also become one with this king." ”

The horse and Duan Zhengyan had been in battle for a long time, and they snorted rhythmically, not knowing if they could understand people's words.

The harassing enemy was once again repulsed, and they wanted to slowly consume Duan Zhengyan's soldiers and horses.

Duan Zhengyan looked up at the sky dejectedly and asked, "We have been trapped in Taihua Mountain for half a month, right?" ”

"Twenty days."

Duan Zhengyan hesitated for a while, and said to himself: "It's been twenty days...... Chinese."

After a few more days, the war horses disappeared one by one, and only Duan Zhengyan's BMW was hungrily beside him, gnawing on the few grasses on the ground. It's winter, and there's grass there. The game in the mountains has long since died at the hands of people or disappeared, and all the edible grass roots and wild fruits have also been searched.

The hungry people looked at the last BMW that belonged to the prince, and their mouths could fill with water.

Duan Zhengyan didn't know the mood of the soldiers, he took one last look at his BMW, closed his eyes and said, "Take it!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Everyone went to pull the horse, but the horse understood the human language, and kicked around, and no one could get close.

In the end, everyone was ruthless, and the spears and knives were greeted, and the horse finally roared and fell in a pool of blood, but it was a pity that there was a lot of horse blood.

The Jiaozhi soldiers under the mountain saw that there was green smoke rising from the mountain again, and they were extremely annoyed, could it be that the emperor blessed them, and these people on the mountain still had food.

Suddenly, someone had a plan, they were lighting a fire on the mountain, why don't we burn the fire at the bottom of the mountain, if they can't burn to death, they will be smoked to death, and then take the opportunity to kill them, and they will definitely be able to capture the king of Yunnan alive. When the time comes, Yunnan will be at your fingertips!

The Jiaozhi army did what they said, and the fire soon became feverish.

Duan Zhengyan was munching on meat, when he suddenly saw smoke rising and shouted, "What's the matter?" Gone off? ”

"Back to the prince, the enemy army has set fire to the mountain under the mountain!"

"Well, they're finally remembering to attack with fire." Duan Zhengyan sighed, he drank a big mouthful of soup after eating the meat, and shouted, "Soldiers, I'm sorry for everyone. However, I hereby promise that if we can survive, just like today, if we have what I have to eat, you will have to eat! ”

Everyone was excited: "Fight with them!" ”

Duan Zhengyan threw the spear on the ground and said, "Everyone tear off a strip of cloth from their clothes, dip it in water and cover their faces so as not to choke on fireworks." ”

Duan Zhengyan covered the wet cloth strip on his mouth and nose, picked up the spear and shook it, shouting "Kill!" There is a tendency for the strong man to never return.

Qu Ping led the cavalry to take the first step, and finally arrived in the territory of Taihua Mountain.

Suddenly, he saw a large area of smoke rushing into the sky on the mountain in front of him, and he thought that it must be Duan Zhengyan's location, so he hurriedly urged the horse to go.

The Jiaozhi army was exchanging sabers and guns with Duan Zhengyan on the mountain, and suddenly a large group of cavalry holding the "Song" flag came behind them, and the army was in a panic. The Jiaozhi army was dominated by infantry troops, and the infantry of 50,000 was suddenly rushed by Qu Ping's 7,000 cavalry.

Duan Zhengyan on the mountain saw the arrival of reinforcements, and his morale was high, so he cooperated with the reinforcements to fight bravely against the enemy.

Qu Ping took the lead in killing the enemy, and his spear was like a dragon, and dozens of Jiaozhi soldiers who wanted to get close were stabbed to the ground before they were stabbed to the ground. Qu Ping looked up to find the position of the enemy's coach and rushed over.

When it was close, Qu Ping's soldiers, who were proficient in Jiaozhi dialect, shouted: "Dali has been included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and violating Dali is violating the Great Song Dynasty!" The 80,000 rear army arrived later, and it was not quickly surrendered! ”

Jiaozhi was originally the land of Annan of the Central Plains, although it had taken advantage of the turmoil in the Central Plains of the Five Dynasties to rebel and become independent, but in his bones he was still afraid of the Central Plains.

During the Xining period of the Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi vainly claimed that the Great Song Dynasty court changed the law to make the people suffer, raised 80,000 troops to attack the Song Dynasty, and attacked Yongzhou all the way, and Zhizhou desperately resisted and martyred himself. Later, the imperial court sent the general Guo Kui to the south to crusade, and the Jiaozhi army was vulnerable in front of the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty. Li Qiande, the king of Jiaozhi, was forced to surrender to the table, and the Great Song Dynasty was also tired of fighting, so the two sides shook hands and made peace, and Jiaozhi was reinstated as a vassal.

At this time, the general of Jiaozhi saw that the Song army was unstoppable, and hurriedly responded: "It turned out to be the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and we were far away in the sky, and I didn't know that Dali had entered the territory of the Celestial Empire, which was really a misunderstanding." It's better to collect their troops, and our army will retreat immediately! ”

Qu Ping saw that the other party intended to collect troops, and there were not enough men and horses on his side, and he was afraid that he would suffer at the time of consumption, so he reined in his horse and said: "Since it is a misunderstanding, let's stop fighting." Collect the troops! ”

The two sides withdrew their troops, and the Jiaozhi army slowly retreated to the side.

Duan Zhengyan returned to his camp with a disgraced face, and embarrassedly went to Qu Ping and said, "Lord Guogong, this king ...... Ashamed! ”

"Now is the time of battle, in the name of the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, I order you to immediately hand over the command of the soldiers and horses to this commander!" Qu Ping said coldly.

Duan Zhengyan secretly glanced at Duan Zhengxing behind Qu Ping, and when he saw him nodding vigorously, he had no choice but to say gloomily: "This king is guilty!" …… Our army obeys the order, and from now on, it will be at the disposal of Marshal Qu! ”

Duan Zhengyan stood behind Qu Ping in a gloomy manner, staring at the leader of the Jiaozhi Army opposite, full of hatred.

Li Yuanzhan, the commander of the Jiaozhi Army, said that the Great Song Dynasty was not easy to bite, and he wanted to pick a soft persimmon Dali to bite, but he didn't expect the soft persimmon to hide in the big stone, and he made a mistake!

Li Yuanzhan said: "The general Li Yuanzhan hasn't asked the general for his title yet?" ”

"Qu Ping, deputy marshal of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses!" Qu Ping said.

Li Yuanzhan's heart is broken, the deputy marshals are here, and the strength behind him is estimated to be not small, but why was he able to send troops to rescue so quickly? Didn't the Great Song Dynasty suppress and seize Dali by force? It's possible!

Li Yuanzhan said: "This time it was all a misunderstanding, since Dali is already the land of the Great Song Dynasty, our army naturally does not dare to get involved, and immediately withdraw the army!" ”

In his heart, he scolded Gao Liangcheng half to death, but in fact, there is no need to scold, Gao Liangcheng is already dead.

Qu Ping said: "Haha, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, since there is a misunderstanding, it's better for everyone to sit down and have a glass of wine and cultivate feelings." ”

Li Yuanzhan said in his heart, I have nearly 50,000 people, and you are only more than 10,000, are you still afraid that you will not succeed. He said, "Haha, that's for the best." It's better to sit on the ground on this field, and drink and talk. ”

"Good! Bury the pot to cook, you and I have a few drinks together! Qu Ping said.
