Chapter 122: The Yongzhou Incident

Di Qing was naturally reluctant to meet Li Changjie, so as not to be unable to help but pull out his sword and cut Li Changjie twice, so when Yongzhou was still a hundred miles away, Di Qing ordered people to set up a camp tent, and while resting, he sent someone to contact Li Changjie.

Just when Di Qing hesitated in his heart, Xu Deshan came again, although Di Qing felt very helpless about Xu Deshan's behavior of not coming a day earlier, but Xu Deshan came after all, Di Qing was still waiting for Xu Deshan to bring him good news.

Di Qing didn't know that Xu Deshan had already visited Nong Zhigao, and he thought that Xu Deshan was really for the sake of national righteousness, so he ignored the danger and went deep into the enemy camp alone to negotiate with the enemy generals, this is such a spirit, which can make Di Qing admire, not to mention that Xu Deshan himself came back, as for what news can be brought, Di Qing believes that with Xu Deshan's character, if there is no good news, Xu Deshan would have run away a long time ago, where will he come back.

Di Qing saw Xu Deshan in the big tent again, this time he saw Xu Deshan, Xu Deshan's spirit was obviously much weaker, a little listless, Di Qing was startled, thinking that Xu Deshan had returned in vain, and hurriedly asked, "Xu Deshan, have you ever been to Yongzhou, what did Nong Zhigao say?" ”

Xu Deshan glanced at Di Qing and said, "I said, aren't you the marshal of the Song Army, why do you care so much about the leader of the rebel army?" Beware of someone accusing you of collaborating with the enemy. ”

Di Qing was stunned for a moment, his face was flushed, Xu Deshan suddenly patted Di Qing's chest and said, "What are you doing so seriously, I'm kidding." ”

Di Qing's face changed color, and then he slapped Xu Deshan on the head fiercely, scolding, "You rabbit cub, you have something to say, what are you messing about!" I don't look good, I want to greet you, you're good, dare to laugh at me! ”

Xu Deshan touched his head and said, "I'm not in good spirits, it's not your fault!" ”

Di Qingqi said, "You are not in good spirits, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "It's not that you chase so closely behind my ass, otherwise, where would I have to run so fast." ”

Di Qing can be regarded as knowing that Xu Deshan's record in the Hebei counterinsurgency battle was not worthwhile, as far as Xu Deshan's mouth is concerned, he still dares to be so arrogant in front of himself, and in front of Zheng Jia Chang Chao Minghao, Xu Deshan should not turn against the sky, if you want to say that those strategies were not thought up by Xu Deshan, and you don't believe it when you kill Di Qing.

Di Qingyou slapped Xu Deshan and said seriously, "Don't talk to me, you ...... Have you ever seen Nong Zhigao? How's the negotiation with him? ”

Xu Deshan smiled and said, "Di Shuai, I naturally met Nong Zhigao, and I also discussed with him, now we have three strategies, but I don't know which one Di Shuai is going to choose?" ”

Di Qing said: "You talk about it first, let's hear it." ”

Xu Deshan said, "Let's talk about the next policy first, this strategy is that when I haven't appeared, the three of you will fight each other, in this way, destroy Nong Zhigao, Jiaozhi country robbed and returned to China, after the war, Di Shuai's contribution will not be reduced, and he will be promoted to privy envoy." ”

Xu Deshan turned Di Qing's face blue and white, and said, "You talk about the best strategy." ”

Xu Deshan said, "This is the middle strategy, I have to make some sacrifices for Di Shuai, I agreed with Nong Zhigao, wait for Di Shuai to attack the city tomorrow, Nong Zhigao will resist less, and then withdraw from Yongzhou, Di Shuai only needs to call Jiaozhi into the city, he is stationed outside the city, and after they burn and kill in the city, Di Shuai will release a gap in the periphery in the middle of the night, Nong Zhigao is willing to lead his troops back to Yongzhou City, desperately annihilating the whole army, and also kill all these Jiaozhi teams who killed my Guangxi brothers. ”

Xu Deshan said, looking at Di Qing, and Di Qing's expression was even more colorless, Xu Deshan is talking about a strategy, this is obviously humiliating, calling Di Qing in person, think about it, in the face of the invasion and killing of my people's fathers and elders, Nong Zhigao, who is a traitor, is willing to fight to the death with Jiaozhi, but asked Di Qing, the general, to watch from the sidelines, this is not a slap in the face of Di Qing.

Di Qing fought in the Northwest Battlefield, as a supporting army, why was Di Qing able to stand out from the crowd and sit all the way to the position of privy deputy envoy? In addition to Di Qing's strong martial arts, courage, and outstanding strategy, Di Qing also has a heart of patriotism and love for the people, it is this heart that supports him to fight bravely to kill the enemy and defend the country, and it is this heart that makes Zhao Zhen fall in love with Di Qing.

Patriotism, this is Di Qing's advantage, and it is also the biggest difference between Di Qing and those gentlemen, Di Qing loves the country, the people, and the king, and those gentlemen look extremely noble, but in fact, they neither love the country nor the people, they love their own way.

There may be some contradictions in saying this, because these gentlemen, taking Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Jia Changchao and others as examples, they also love the people, they are also worried about the country, it seems that they are the benchmark of the world, but this is because the education they received since childhood is to love the country and the people, they love the country and the people, they love the country and the people, not really for the sake of the country and the people, but just to implement their own Confucianism, when one day their Confucianism has begun to damage the interests of the country and the people, not in line with the development of the times, They will still stick to their own ideas, under the slogan of loving the country and the people, and those who really conform to the times and go against Confucianism to love the country and the people

Die endlessly.

It is precisely because of this that the Song Dynasty has a distinction between civil servants and military generals, and the contradictions between the two factions cannot be reconciled, which is the opposition between the two classes and the dispute between the two ideologies, and Di Qing, a purely patriotic person, is inevitably excluded everywhere.

And now, after Di Qing was commanded by Xu Deshan, it seems that he has returned to the Northwest Battlefield, that era when you don't need to worry about politics, just simply rush and kill, I can't wait to set off the whole army immediately and kill all these murderous Jiaozhi people, Di Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, what is your best policy?" ”

Xu Deshan looked at Di Qing's expression, and knew that his plan had been completed, and said slowly, "As for the best strategy, you need Di Shuai to take a little risk, just like that, I don't know if Di Shuai can risk his life for the people of Guangxi, even if he is ruined and killed unjustly?" ”

Di Qing's eyes were huge, looking at the child in front of him, Di Qing originally thought that he had put Xu Deshan in a very important position, but now it seems that he still underestimated Xu Deshan, this Xu Deshan is simply bold, just based on what he just said, it is not too much to cut a thousand knives, but Di Qing has to admit that Xu Deshan's plan made him moved.

Di Qing was a little emotional, originally he thought that it was a very simple thing for him to come to Guangxi to quell the rebellion, even if he knew that Jiaozhi Country would not do good things, but he had no choice, and he could only follow the emperor's orders, but now it is okay, a Xu Deshan appeared on the way, this kid is smart, those ghost ideas one after another, can simply drive other people's children crazy, but with these choices, he doesn't know what to do, he is just a general who leads troops to fight, It's not a Wenchen who plays tricks, not to mention that Xu Deshan gave himself a terrible idea, even if Yan Shu Wen Yanbo can't think of it, how can you decide at this time.

At this time, if it were any person in history, I am afraid that he would have rejected Xu Deshan's suggestion, but this person is Di Qing, jealous and hateful, loving the people like a son, coupled with Xu Deshan's previous radical method, Di Qing's ghost made the gods send a god, and he nodded and agreed, Xu Deshan didn't talk nonsense, gave his hand and left, and quietly left, leaving Di Qing alone in the camp.

On the second day of Di Qing's camp, Di Qing gathered the general to raise the account, and gathered the officials, including the deputy marshal Sun Wei, and announced that Yongzhou was approaching at this time, in order to prevent Nong Zhigao from abandoning the city and fleeing, so the 200,000 forbidden army should be divided into three parts, the first part was led by Di Qing himself, as the vanguard, and Jiaozhi converged, attacking the south gate of Yongzhou, and Sun Wei led one to go around to the north gate of Yongzhou to attack, and the third part was led by Yang Wenguang to attack the west gate of Yongzhou.

Di Qing's decision was supported by all the generals, after all, if 200,000 people were led by Di Qing, and what achievements were made, it would be Di Qing's, but now after the division of troops, the credit will be separated, and what achievements Sun Wei and Yang Wenguang led the team to make are their own, in case Nong Zhigao abandons the city and flees, he will be caught by Sun Chu and Yang Wenguang, then this biggest credit will not be Di Qing's share.

Di Qing's proposal is not only in line with the art of war, but also in line with the reason, the three highest military commanders hit it off and passed it unanimously, and the low-level officers at the bottom naturally had nothing to say, and then Di Qing, Sun Wei, Yang Wenguang, and the three of them each selected their cronies and generals, and after adjusting for another day, they marched to Yongzhou City.

A hundred miles away, said that it is not close, said that it is not far, Di Qing led the main force of 100,000 troops, and took the lead to the outside of Yongzhou City, and the troops of Sun Wei and Yang Wenguang also reached the established position, but the two of them only had 50,000 people in their hands, and there were few people who were attacking the city, and their task was to prevent Nong Zhigao from escaping, so the position of the camp was a little farther away to hold the critical position.

The main forbidden army led by Di Qing looked at the camp of Jiaozhi from a distance, turned left and right, Di Qing ordered, and stationed a few hundred meters away from the camp of Jiaozhi State, and then sent a messenger to inform Jiaozhi State of information, and agreed that the two armies would attack together tomorrow and take Yongzhou City.

As a colleague, Li Changjie has long heard of Di Qing's name, this general has the prestige of killing people in the northwest battlefield, if there is no Yu Jing's invitation, Zhao Zhen's holy decree, I am afraid that Li Changjie has already retreated after hearing Di Qing's name, and returned to Jiaozhi China with the spoils of war.

But now it's different, Li Changjie was invited by Yu Jing to help Di Qing, although what Li Changjie did after entering the country was no different from the invasion, but Li Changjie was famous after all, with Yu Jing as a guarantor, Li Changjie's dog guts also rose a lot, and he was a little wary of Di Qing's army at first, but seeing that Di Qing's army was polite to him, and after setting up the camp, there were generals who came and went to know each other politely, Li Changjie's heart was relaxed, and he smiled secretly in his heart, who said that the Song Dynasty was powerful, I think he is obviously self-defeating martial arts, Di Qing was originally like a tiger, but the Song Dynasty raised the tiger like a sheep, so it seems that sooner or later, he will perish in the hands of others sooner or later.

Li Changjie had already made a calculation in his heart, and politely dealt with the envoy sent by Di Qing, the envoy and Li Changjie exchanged the siege plan of the two armies tomorrow, how could Li Changjie be willing to let his own people die here, his mouth was just vague, saying that there were few soldiers in Jiaozhi, and he could only cooperate with the side, and he could not be the main attacker, if he wanted to attack the city, he still wanted to

Di Qing figured it out on his own.

The envoy listened to Li Changjie's words, looked at Li Changjie twice, and asked, "Then since we are attacking the city, then after breaking through the city, we will also treat it as if we are stationed." ”

Li Changjie shook his head and said, "Since it was you who invited us to come and destroy Nong Zhigao, how can we fall behind you, after breaking the city, Jiaozhi has an unshirkable responsibility, and will definitely enter Yongzhou and arrest Nong Zhigao." ”

Li Changjie is so shameless, what else can the envoy say, turn around and go back, Li Changjie is the messenger is acquiescing to his own way, smiling, just waiting for Di Qing to attack the city, and pick up the cheap in the back.

Li Changjie thought very beautifully, but on the second day, the Song camp was in a hurry, but the sun was three poles, but the Song army had not yet made the appearance of attacking the city, Li Changjie couldn't help but wonder, what happened to the Song army, was he grinding foreign workers, waiting for himself to lose his breath and attack the city with him? Is Di Qing Naizi's brain broken, is this Yongzhou the land of the Song Dynasty or the land of the Jiaozhi Kingdom, he Di Qing is not in a hurry, can he be in a hurry? Okay, if you don't fight, I won't fight, let's just consume it like this, and see who can consume whom.

In order to show his determination, Li Changjie also ordered the soldiers to take off their armor, open fire and cook, and use the food given by the Song Dynasty to anger the Diqing troops.

At this time, the messenger who came yesterday came again, Li Changjie said in his heart that you had come just in time, called the messenger over, and asked face to face, "Your army is stationed here, why don't you attack Yongzhou quickly, but stop moving, isn't it against the king's order?" ”

In the face of the menacing Li Changjie, the envoy did not panic at all, but said with a serious face, "Lord Li, whether to attack the city or not is an internal matter of our army, don't worry about it, and I came this time because there is a major matter related to you and my army, and I need Lord Liu's cooperation." ”

Li Changjie said impatiently, "The matter of attacking the city, we haven't discussed it yesterday, we have few soldiers, and we will not attack the Yongzhou city wall." ”

The envoy said, "The attack on Yongzhou, don't bother Lord Liu, I came this time, because yesterday, two soldiers disappeared during the repair period and did not return, Di Shuai suspected that he entered your barracks, in order to find our missing soldiers, but also for the safety of Lord Liu, I also hope that Lord Liu will open the camp, let us enter and search, if they are hiding here, we will take them back to teach a good lesson, if not, we can rest assured." ”

Li Changjie, such an adult, after listening to it, it took a long time to react to the envoy What does this mean, what else can it mean, find fault is, what soldier is missing, even if he is missing, can he run to our camp? Even if they do come to my camp, can I ask you to search it? If I searched it, wouldn't my Li Changjie be laughed out of my big teeth?

Li Changjie was furious and scolded, "Get out, who do you think you are!" Tell Di Qing, my Li Changjie's battalion, if you dare to come, I will kill one, come and kill two and kill a pair, if you are not afraid of death, come and try! ”

Seeing that Li Changjie was puffed up, the envoy listened, agreed that he didn't say anything, stood up and turned around and left, just walked out of the camp, Li Changjie suddenly reacted, what does Di Qing mean by this, find fault and find fault, he won't be looking for trouble.

Li Changjie thought of this, he was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the troops to be on alert, but it was too late at this time, the 30,000 troops of the Jiaozhi country had been arrogant and domineering for so many days, how could they be on guard all at once, and Di Qing had already ordered the whole army to be prepared, what do you think the chaos in the Song camp was doing in the morning? That is to pack up the weapons of war, what catapults, divine arm crossbows, and even the divine arm bow invented by Xu Deshan, these killing weapons have all been aimed at the camp tent of Jiaozhi State, just when the envoy came to the camp gate and nodded to Di Qing, who had been waiting at the door, Di Qing gave an order, and the hidden weapon in the Song camp instantly revealed its light.

The 5,000 elite soldiers who were carefully selected poured out of the camp and rushed towards the Jiaozhi team, so frightened that the Jiaozhi team hurriedly opened their bows and arrows to prepare for defense, but the Song army stopped when they came to the range of the Jiaozhi team, manipulated the divine arm crossbow, and the Song army with a compound bow stepped forward in a line, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison.

These sharp weapons that have exceeded the understanding of the Cochin team, in the first round of attacks, almost wiped out the unsuspecting Cochin guarding the camp gate, and then the Song army did not hesitate to arrows, advancing step by step, and covered the Cochin State camp with a firepower, and then the Song army with steel knives surged up behind, rushed into the Cochin State camp, and began to avenge more than 100,000 Guangxi people.

Don't doubt the power of science and technology, in the face of unequal weapons and equipment and sudden attacks, let alone the Jiaozhi team, even if it is the Xixia people, the Khitans came, it is the same result, the Jiaozhi team did not have any resistance, and collapsed in an instant, after the Song army entered the Jiaozhi camp, it could be cut and killed like a pig, and Jiaozhi, some of them did not understand what was going on, they were killed by the Song army who rushed over, and more Jiaozhi was a swarm of swarms to the south.

What loot, what harvest, it doesn't matter at the moment, being able to escape your own life is the most important thing, and you are from the south, as long as you run back to Jiaozhi country, there is nothing to do about those Song troops.
